One month later, May 1st is Labor Day.
Yangquan Railway Station.
In the sky, two squadrons and 24 P51 fighter jets were hovering, providing air escort for the handover ceremony below.
Liu Zhesheng was driving the P51 and humming a little tune, and he was in a wonderful mood.
Originally, he thought he would be flying P40s when he arrived, but once he arrived, he found that what was waiting for him was a fighter with more powerful performance and more powerful capabilities.
"I said, our Commander Liu is really bleeding this time. I can feel his resentment even at an altitude of 1,000 meters."
Following Zhou Zhikai's words in the earphones, the pilots burst out laughing.
Liu Zhesheng glanced at the train station on the ground and said with the same smile: "Where did those people come from? There must be at least 100 trains. We have been patrolling for two days. With so much heavy equipment, there is no Can’t you get US$200 million?”
Then Zhou Zhikai's voice came again: "Whatever, it's good that we have a God of Wealth. Since the last battle with the Japanese, I haven't flown a plane for several months. I've been here for half a month. I’ve been to heaven more times than I’ve ever done in the previous year!”
At this time, I heard the voice of Liu Zhesheng's wingman Wang Teqian: "You are brother Zilong. The commander specially asked you to train more!"
Turning his attention to Zhou Zhikai's car, he saw the young man blushing slightly: "Can you please stop calling me that?"
It is said that when they first met, Liu Yu recognized him directly, held his hand and refused to let go, and directly nicknamed him Zhao Zilong in the air.
I don’t know how Liu Yu knew them, but he called out their names one by one as soon as they met.
In the end, they could only be surprised by the intelligence capabilities of the Eighth Route Army.
"Okay! Everyone, be serious. The first squadron is expanding the patrol area. Keep your spirits up and don't let the Japanese take advantage of the loophole!" Instructor Li Xiangyang's voice came from the earphones.
The young pilots behaved a lot instantly, and Liu Zhesheng also pulled the joystick, leading a squadron to break away from the patrol formation and fly farther away.
On the edge of the field, in addition to the original anti-aircraft artillery battery at the train station, there were two temporarily transferred air defense battalions nearby.
This large formation is to protect the equipment handover at the train station.
A month ago, the headquarters ordered a major reorganization. Staffing is not a problem, the problem is equipment.
The current inventory and production of several arsenals and Yangquan Automobile Factory are not enough to support such a large-scale reorganization. If they wait for production, it will take at least more than a year.
Light weapons such as firearms are enough, mainly heavy equipment such as cannons and cars.
As a result, General Chen approached the deputy commander-in-chief and said that he could find a solution to Liu Yu.
The deputy commander-in-chief was also a thief, so he directly asked Liu Shuai to talk to Liu Yu.
Because he knew that except Liu Shuai and his parents, no one could control this skinny monkey.
Then, Liu Shuai rushed back from Yan'an with a list, and with emotion, reason, and threats, Liu Yu finally agreed to provide the equipment.
What makes Liu Yu most distressed is that the headquarters has transferred the 1st Air Force Division. The original group of Yankee pilots now only have one deputy division commander, John Oakes, and one fighter group captain, Major Jack Newkert, and the others. All were transferred to Yan'an Airport. If Liu Yu hadn't refused to let go, Liu Zhesheng and other aces would also have been crossed.
In this way, Liu Yu was reinstated on merit at the cost of 360 105mm howitzers, 2,000 75mm field guns, 3,000 trucks, and 200 aircraft.
Not many points were spent on the plane. Liu Yu gave away the existing Japanese planes and retired P40s, plus 20 B17 bombers.
Fortunately, after nearly a year of hard work, the more than 2,000 students in the first phase of the flight academy have basically learned how to fly airplanes, otherwise Liu Yu's airplanes would have been just decorations.
The formation of the Second Armored Brigade also went smoothly. The first batch of 800 tank crews who graduated from the short-term training courses of armored force academies all entered the Second Armored Brigade.
The tank crews of the 1st Armored Brigade are basically Americans, but the 2nd Armored Brigade is obviously more upright.
Originally, the Second Armored Brigade was also assigned to the headquarters, but now even Lao Song was not happy.
He was already very unhappy about taking away so much of Liu Yu's equipment and the aviation force. How about taking away another armored brigade?
Lao Song said: Don't reinstate our Liu Yu, I will resign too!
When he saw Lao Song, he would flip the table over, but the deputy commander-in-chief just gave up on him.
Everyone can see the achievements of Liu Yu and Lao Song. The area under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region is now the most dynamic area within the entire sphere of influence of our party, whether it is the economy or scientific research. Now that nine-year compulsory education has been introduced, even parents have personally written commendations, calling the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region a model base.
If both of them give up, the impact will be huge.
A month has passed, and the 10 divisions have been initially reorganized. They are just waiting for heavy equipment. No, the deputy commander sent someone to Yangquan to get it.
At the train station, General Chen took out his cigarette and lit it for Liu Yu with a smile.
Liu Yu rolled his eyes at him, smoked a cigarette and asked, "Old brigade commander, I heard that it was you who slandered Jin this time?"
General Chen said "tsk": "You are ignorant, I am helping you!"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "Do you think there are fewer people watching your kid? In the past, it was the parents who suppressed you. Plus, your kid has military power in his hands. No one dares to touch you! If you are suspended for a while, Try it? You’ll be damned if you don’t squeeze it dry with those people!”
When Liu Yu heard this, he was also a little angry: "Kill them sooner or later, or else you won't dare to retire when you get old!"
"Isn't that true? When I first came back, I suffered a lot from them!" Brigadier Chen looked around and continued in a low voice: "Okay, we just have to settle this matter, don't go around. Yell."
"I know!" Liu Yu responded with a "reassuring" look, and then asked with a smile: "How much benefits will your brother get from this reorganization?"
"What a benefit, it's only one division." Brigadier Chen was a little worried about Versailles, and then elbowed Liu Yu, "It's also a second-level military region, and you have three divisions, which is comparable to the commander of a large military region. .”
"Why are you so angry at me? I am the God of Wealth."
"It can't be compared, it can't be compared!"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
"Hahahahaha!"
After finishing laughing, Liu Yu looked at the cannons being moved away, feeling distressed again.
These artillery pieces and trucks cost him more than 200,000 points. How many Japanese would he have to kill?
The previous purchases of B29, P47, and T34 cost him more than 500,000 points.
Hearing that reorganization would continue in the future, Liu Yu saw that there were less than 1.2 million points left and felt that he should save some money.
If this happens a few more times, he will become a pauper again.
