"It's natural."
As he said this, Lu Jichun asked someone to bring Li Hang's things over.
In fact, it was nothing precious. Those few hundred dollars were just a few months' military pay for pilots such as Lu Jichun.
Because their life span is short, money is not that important to them.
Li Hang still checked it. After all, he knew the habits of the national army.
The Central Army at this time was actually pretty good, but it had been corrupted by senior officers from Baoding Military Academy, but it was much better than the National Army after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Seeing Li Hang checking the money, Liang Tiancheng on the side couldn't help but complain, "Stop checking, Captain Lu and I kept your money together. In the Army, it is possible to embezzle your money, but in our Air Force , no one cares about this little money."
"That's what I say, but the money does not belong to me, but to those brothers. I still have to find opportunities to send the money and letters to their families." Li Hang explained.
"Not yours?" Lu Jichun was a little surprised.
"What do I need this thing for? Just like what he said, I have become a pilot now, who cares about the money.
If we are really short of money, how many Japanese planes will be sent down? Can’t Chongqing give more rewards? "Li Hang looked indifferent.
Moreover, he has a lot of things in his mind, and he can make money just by taking out some of them. Who cares about the money of those brothers?
"Stop talking nonsense. If the Japs' planes were so easy to fight, our Fourth Brigade wouldn't have no captain now." Liang Tiancheng felt that Li Hang really liked to brag.
"Whether it's a lie or not, you'll know on the battlefield." Li Hang didn't argue too much.
However, Lu Jichun felt that Li Hang had this ability, "I know you have the ability, but I may not be able to let you use that Type 96 destroyer next."
"If I don't need the Type 96, what fighter are you going to give me? Hawker III? I-15 or Yi-16?" In fact, he still wanted the Type 96.
No way, the performance is good.
The second is I-16.
"It's not decided yet. There are not many planes in Hankou at the moment. You may be transferred to Lanzhou to receive Soviet fighter planes in the future." Regarding this matter, Lu Jichun was not sure, "Do you think the Japanese army may really launch an air attack?" Wuhan?”
"Strictly speaking, it was an air attack on Hankou Airport, so the possibility is very high."
In fact, both the Soviet pilot Ivanov and others, as well as Li Guidan, were very convinced about this, so they were also making preparations.
Because a considerable part of the pilots of the Fourth Group are still in Lanzhou, there are not many pilots around Wuhan.
The Fourth Brigade has only one squadron of Hawker III fighters near Wuhan, with five fighter planes, which is the 23rd Squadron. It also urgently transferred a squadron of eight Yi-15 fighters from Lanzhou, which is the 22nd Squadron.
In addition to the Chinese side, there is the Soviet air force aiding China, including 15 Yi-15s and 8 Yi-16s.
In this way, there are a total of 5 Hawker IIIs, 23 I-15s, and 8 I-16s, a total of 36 fighters. If you include the Type 96 carrier-based fighter flown by Li Hang, it will be 37.
It just depends on whether the Japanese army will come. Anyway, the bait has been thrown out.
And Hankou Airport is the bait.
"If there is really a Japanese air strike, can you let me fly that Japanese fighter plane for the time being? I think there should be British 7.7mm*56R bullets here in Wuhan, right?"
"Actually, no. However, we found that the bullets of this Japanese aircraft actually used British 7.7mm*56R bullets. Someone just bought a batch of weapons and ammunition from the UK before. After the captain told Director Zhou, he intercepted five Thousands of these bullets." Lu Jichun said with a smile.
In fact, I don’t understand why the superiors quickly believed Li Hang and even found a way to intercept a batch of British 7.7mm bullets.
But it's simple. The above must know more than Lu Jichun.
In addition, the Aviation Commission has established Li Hang as a model, so it is normal to have a slight preference.
"Captain, you mean I can use that plane?" Li Hang was a little surprised.
"Try not to ruin it, Lao Maozi wants it very much." Lu Jichun reminded.
The Chinese Air Force is actually not very interested in this new aircraft, mainly because it cannot be copied, and China's industrial strength does not allow it at this time.
The only purpose is to practice how to fight against this new Japanese fighter plane.
Lao Maozi is very interested, but the Aviation Commission has different attitudes.
The reason why he was willing to let Li Hang use it temporarily was because no one knew how to fly it, and he also wanted to understand the strength of this fighter more directly.
Because Li Hang was very familiar with the performance of the new Japanese fighter planes, Lu Jichun and Liang Tiancheng did not forget to ask for advice on how to fight. After all, in the previous air battle, if Li Hang had been more ruthless, the two of them might have died.
It is very likely that there will be a firefight with the Japanese army next. It is still necessary to understand the performance of the enemy aircraft and prepare countermeasures.
While they were discussing, at the entrance of Hankou Airport, several bullock carts loaded with various vegetables were slowly driving into the airport. Not far away, there were soldiers with guns looking at these bullock carts. .
"I said, brother, please don't run around later. The airport is very strictly controlled, and there have been some old men recently. If you get caught walking around, you will have to implicate me." A middle-aged man looked at his duty as an honest man While driving, the young man carefully warned the young man next to him who looked equally honest.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. I just haven't seen an airplane, so I'm looking for a chance to take a look. It won't hurt you." The young man quickly assured you, but his eyes glanced at the tarmac in the distance from time to time, with some emotion. "Brother Chen, are those airplanes? They look so spectacular."
"This is the first time I saw this big flying iron bird. I had the same reaction as you. But this is something invented by those foreigners. It is very powerful and can also drop bombs. With one blast, it can blow up a house. ." The middle-aged man suddenly became interested.
"Brother Chen, have you seen the power of this plane?"
"That's natural."
While Brother Chen was chatting there, the young man carefully observed the tarmac, secretly looking for the target, and also counting the number of planes.
Soon, he found the familiar plane and felt a little excited.
"Brother Chen, why is there a Japanese plane there?"
"No, let me take a look. There is indeed a Japanese plane. I remembered that it should be the one mentioned in today's newspaper. It was our pilot flying back from the Japanese. I didn't expect it to be true. I I thought it was an official bragging." Brother Chen didn't think much about it because he was also somewhat interested.
However, they could only watch from a distance. There were now soldiers patrolling the tarmac, and others could not get close at all.
The young man thought he was very clever in finding such a channel to sneak into Hankou Airport.
But he forgot that because of the incident with that plane and Li Hang, the military commanders were already eyeing Li Hang and Hankou Airport. Usually when a strange face appears in the food delivery team, it is difficult not to attract attention.
