Liao County.
county seat.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
In the huge office, a group of combat staff were busy there.
The radio in the communications room next door was ticking.
However, the commander, chief of staff and division commander stood aside and chatted.
"This kid Li Yunlong actually did a lot of things quietly. I really didn't expect it."
The chief sounded happy:
"Killing the new First Army Commander Yoshimoto Teichi and a major general, as well as annihilating the North China Front Army aviation unit, I have to say that Li Yunlong did a great job!"
Although Li Yunlong did not ask for instructions in advance, the chief would not blame Li Yunlong.
After all, the new flying brigade has just been established and is in a dormant state before taking action.
Moreover, although the flying brigade is a regiment-level organization, it is still a battalion-level establishment. Li Yunlong has no problem at all in mobilizing the flying brigade and complies with regulations.
The division commander nodded and exclaimed: "The new flying brigade will only make a move if it doesn't take action. Once it takes action, it will be a blockbuster!"
During this time, Boss Chen's plane has been transporting goods to southeastern Shanxi and northwest Shanxi, and the Japanese planes did not dare to come.
The aviation unit of the North China Front Army also learned a lot. As soon as Boss Chen's plane appeared, the Japanese planes hid.
As soon as Boss Chen's plane left, the Japanese planes went to the airspace in northwestern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi for reconnaissance and bombing.
Japanese planes are a nuisance. It is not easy to shoot down a single Japanese plane, let alone annihilating all the Japanese planes on the North China Front. It is even more difficult.
"The pilots trained by Boss Chen are really good!"
The chief of staff crossed his arms and sighed, and then his tone was full of expectation:
"Almost completely annihilated the Japanese North China Front aviation force, killing a major general and a lieutenant general. This time, Li Yunlong must have made a fortune again."
Compared to others, the chief of staff was more concerned about how much money Li Yunlong had made.
After all, Li Yunlong has to hand over half to the headquarters.
Speaking of this, the division commander pushed up his glasses and said with determination: "I bet that when Li Yunlong arrived at the headquarters, his first words would be to say to the boss, Chief, I, Li Yunlong, congratulate you on getting rich!"
The chief of staff curled his lips: "Isn't this an old tradition of your 129th Division?"
"Don't accuse us wrongly, our 129th Division will not take the blame!"
The commander smiled and said: "Our old tradition of the 129th Division is that the superiors congratulate the subordinates on getting rich, but there is no such thing as Li Yunlong, where the subordinates congratulate the superiors on getting rich."
The chief of staff suddenly laughed: "Isn't this the same?"
Division Commander: "That's different. When a superior congratulates a subordinate on getting rich, that's to fight against the autumn wind. When a subordinate congratulates a superior on getting rich, that's because they have to take the initiative to hand over their weapons and ammunition."
"Report!"
At this moment, Li Yunlong's loud voice sounded outside the door.
"Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."
The boss smiled slightly:
"Come in!"
After a while.
Li Yunlong, wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of aviator sunglasses, strode in from the door, followed by Wang Dehou.
Arriving in front of the three leaders, Li Yunlong took off his sunglasses, held his head high and saluted with a military salute.
The three leaders raised their hands in return.
at last.
Li Yunlong's eyes stopped on the chief, and he said in a powerful, resolute and penetrating voice: "Chief, I, Li Yunlong, would like to congratulate you on getting rich!"
As soon as these words came out, the three chiefs immediately laughed, and all the combat staff also laughed.
The air in the headquarters was suddenly filled with joy.
"Chief, what's going on?"
This scene actually made Li Yunlong a little confused.
Shouldn't the head of the headquarters ask with wide eyes how much money you, Li Yunlong, have made? Please tell me.
Then Li Yunlong smiled and told the number of aircraft, heavy artillery and Katyusha earned in this battle. In the shocked eyes and expressions of the three headquarters leaders, he successfully filled the cup.
Wang Dehou on the side was also a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, the chief of staff told Li Yunlong what the division commander had said.
After laughing, Li Yunlong suddenly said: "It seems that you, the head of the headquarters, have found a pattern. Every time our new regiment wins a battle, you know that I want to congratulate you on getting rich."
"In front of several leaders, I, Li Yunlong, will not show off."
"The business price of this battle is very good..."
"The specific transaction price is 28 B4 heavy howitzers and 28 Katyusha rocket launchers, as well as a complete set of exploration, oil production and refining equipment, as well as related technical guidance, 3 bullet production lines and 3 Type 56 gun production lines. 500 vehicles, 150,000 tons of fuel.”
"This is the price of killing the new commander of the First Army, Yoshimoto Teiichi, and a major general."
"The price tag for killing the North China Front's aviation unit this time is 142 aircraft."
On the 142nd plane, Li Yunlong's words were emphasized, indicating that the price tag this time was really high.
As expected by Li Yunlong, when the three leaders heard about the 142 planes, their eyes suddenly opened wide with joy on their faces.
Hearing the price of killing Yoshimoto Seiichi and a major general, the smiles on the faces of the three leaders could no longer be suppressed.
But after hearing the number of 142 planes, I was stunned. I didn't expect that there were so many planes.
Seeing the happy faces of the three leaders, Li Yunlong smiled slightly.
The chiefs were belatedly shocked.
Li Yunlong suddenly felt comfortable.
The chief asked with wide eyes: "These 142 planes do not include the original 85 planes, right?"
"Of course not!" Li Yunlong smiled slightly: "Including the previous 85 aircraft, our Eighth Route Army now has a total of 227 aircraft!"
"227 planes!"
"Very good!"
The three leaders were immediately ecstatic.
Although I expected a lot, I didn't expect there to be so many.
You must know that when the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937, the entire national army only had about 300 aircraft.
Moreover, the performance of those 300 aircraft was far behind that of the Japanese army. Not long after the war began, the Chinese air force was almost completely exhausted.
Boss Chen's plane is currently the most advanced plane in the world, a plane used to defeat the Japanese.
The faces of the combat staff on the side were all smiling.
The Eighth Route Army has really made a fortune this time, and these aircraft are all bombers and fighter jets with advanced performance. From now on, the Eighth Route Army will gain air supremacy in North China.
From now on, we no longer have to worry about Japanese planes coming to the base area for reconnaissance and bombing.
From now on, our soldiers will have air support when fighting against the Japanese, and many fewer soldiers will be sacrificed.
"There is a plane."
The chief of staff's tone was not very optimistic:
"But we don't have that many pilots. Now there are only 50 people in the entire Eighth Route Army who can fly planes, and they are all in the New Regiment."
"yes!"
"We lack pilots..."
After being happy, the chief quickly calmed down.
There are not that many pilots, so what if there are 1,000 planes or 10,000 planes? It's not just a pile of scrap metal.
A technical branch like pilots has a very high technical threshold. It is not like infantry who can go to the battlefield with a rifle and bullets.
Li Yunlong said: "The next time I meet with Boss Chen, I will propose to Boss Chen that the second batch of pilot students graduate early."
"The second batch of student pilots have been studying for more than half a year and are ready to go to the battlefield. This batch of student pilots have returned to the headquarters."
The chief nodded. The return of the second batch of pilots to the headquarters had been decided before.
With 50 pilots and 50 aircraft, a flight regiment can be formed. The flight base and regiment headquarters are located at Yangcun Airport. In addition, the ground crew are ready and the radar station has been installed.
Facilities such as oil depots, ammunition depots, airport towers, dormitories and canteens are under construction.
By next month at the latest, Yangcun Airport will be able to accommodate aircraft and pilots.
"But it's still not enough."
The chief shook his head:
"We have 227 aircraft, but only 100 pilots, less than half. The combat effectiveness has been directly reduced by half."
Li Yunlong sighed: "Chief, there is nothing we can do about this. Boss Chen said, 'Ten years of air force, a hundred years of navy'. It is already a miracle that we have established the air force in such a short period of time."
"Although we no longer have the student pilot business."
"But Boss Chen will help our Eighth Route Army build an aviation school. Boss Chen will provide technical support such as ace pilot instructors, ground crew instructors, radar instructors, aircraft repair and maintenance masters, etc."
"Our aviation school is headquartered in YA, and the airports of the Independent Group, New Second Group and New First Group are set as branch campuses."
"With the aircraft our new group has earned this time, we will replace them with more training aircraft and open the aviation school as soon as possible."
"As early as half a year, and at the latest one or two years, I estimate that our Eighth Route Army can take off hundreds of aircraft at the same time..."
The three leaders nodded.
Without Boss Chen's assistance, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army's air force would not have been able to develop in twenty years, let alone ten years.
The leader secretly lamented that it seemed that Boss Chen also understood that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
The pilot training cycle is long, so it is obviously the most correct choice for the Eighth Route Army to run its own aviation school and train its own pilots.
Li Yunlong, who was familiar with "Air Dominance", had already planned the establishment of an aviation school for the heads of the headquarters.
The leader breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "You kid, it turned out that everything was planned."
The chief of staff and division commander looked at Li Yunlong with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Li Yunlong obviously knows better than these leaders when it comes to commanding aircraft operations and establishing aviation schools. There is even no one in the entire Eighth Route Army who knows better than Li Yunlong and can be called an expert in this field.
"hey-hey……"
Li Yunlong smiled slightly:
"Recently I have been studying the theoretical knowledge of aircraft combat and air supremacy, and I have gained some insights. Hehe, I have gained some insights."
Seeing Li Yunlong's arrogance, the division commander did not feel disgusted at all. He pushed up his glasses and looked at the commander and chief of staff: "I suggest that Comrade Li Yunlong be appointed as the principal of the Eighth Route Army Aviation School. What do you think? After all, in our Eighth Route Army Among them, only Comrade Li Yunlong has this knowledge reserve."
Upon hearing this, the chief of staff first looked thoughtful, nodded and said, "I have no objection."
"I agree with the division commander's proposal." The leader looked at Li Yunlong and asked expectantly, "Comrade Li Yunlong, what do you think?"
"No, no, no..." Li Yunlong was shocked: "My chief, how can I be the principal with just this little ink?"
With such a big fortune in Xinyi Tuan, wouldn't it be an advantage to others if he became the principal?
Even if he tells the truth, Li Yunlong will not be the principal of this aviation school.
