Chapter 200 Seven Divisions and Eighty Thousand People!

When our aircraft performance completely crushed the Japanese Army Aviation, with the actual combat experience of the three combat heroes, it must be easy to destroy three Type 97 fighters.

During this period, the three people who were scattered around to be on guard also came back one after another. All Spitfire fighters reunited and continued to perform escort missions all the way south.

"After investigation, no enemy aircraft have been found so far. Those little ones just now were probably just patrolling, and they were unlucky to hit us and lost their lives."

"Captain, your speed is still so fast! I didn't even see it clearly, and the enemy was killed. Congratulations on breaking your own record."

The voice in the communication channel was like a reassurance, which made the rest of the team feel relieved.

If one was accidentally entangled by an enemy aircraft, it would be equivalent to poking the nest of the Japanese Army Aviation in East China.

The other party must know the famous C47 transport aircraft. After all, Nakajima bought the production license of Douglas Company, and they knew how many tons of supplies 25 sky trains could carry.

It would not be too much to send a flying squadron at that time. Anyone with a brain would not let go of such a fat sheep that is almost delivered to their mouths.

After hearing what his teammates said, Wang Hai nodded silently. He looked very calm, as if the person who just broke the record was not himself.

Although the Japanese lost three fighters, the ground would definitely not react for a while. He planned to use this time difference to quickly escape, and there was a high probability that a battle could be avoided.

"I will lead the next route, everyone follow closely. Enter at 800 meters, push fuel and accelerate to prepare for climbing."

"The transport aircraft formation is also moving at full speed, which just happens to consume more fuel. Now none of us knows the situation of the destination field airport, so be prepared in advance to avoid being nervous when landing."

"Received!"

As the flight altitude rises, the air pressure begins to drop, and the temperature also drops accordingly.

Fortunately, the combat heroes all wore thick flight suits, and the C47 has a 24v power supply and heating system, so the change in the environment does not affect the comrades' driving.

More than half an hour later, under the guidance of Captain Wang Hai, everyone arrived at the destination safely.

Unexpectedly, the construction level of the Southern Anhui Field Airport was very high.

Just looking from the sky, you can find many details of the airport, which is better than that of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base.

The three runways are very reasonable in length, width and location. There are even ground crews on both sides responsible for navigation. You don’t even have to think about it to know that there must be professionals who have given instructions.

However, the specific reason is clear after analysis. After all, the troops had two biplanes before the reorganization.

The first one was an American light reconnaissance aircraft captured by the Red Four. It not only flew over Wuhan, but also dropped two bombs in another battle.

The bald man was furious when he learned about this, and he cursed his mother.

For this plane, the comrades in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base not only established an aviation bureau, but also built a 100-acre airport.

The second one was a British light trainer aircraft captured by the Red One. Although there was no airport, a runway was specially prepared for it.

There are many veterans who stayed in southern Anhui to fight guerrilla warfare, and it is reasonable to include some people with experience in building airports.

After a brief discussion, Captain Wang Hai decided to let the transport plane formation land first. Their six Spitfire fighters continued to circle in case the enemy suddenly appeared.

Principal Chang looked at the co-pilot's position. His partner was a little nervous at this time, and sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

"Relax a little, this is not our first landing. Sit tight and pay attention to my operation. Sooner or later you will have to sit in the main driver's seat."

"Okay!"

As soon as the voice fell, he drove the sky train to lower the landing gear. Then he adjusted the angle, reduced the speed and altitude.

Bang!

The first transport plane landed smoothly and successfully, causing a cheer from the ground crew.

In addition to the increasingly skilled driving skills, this is also due to the excellent quality of the sky train.

It is not only strong and durable, but also has low requirements for the landing site. The benefits of the rear three-point landing gear layout are fully reflected when landing at a field airport.

The thick main landing gear wheels can easily pass through potholes and uneven places, and the high-positioned engine is not easily hit by flying sand and stones.

Theoretically, it can even implement a safer belly landing when the fuselage is seriously damaged.

Watching the huge transport planes falling from the sky, all the comrades present were shocked and speechless.

Everyone even wondered if they had too little contact with the border area, which led to them not knowing that the troops had undergone such earth-shaking changes.

"This! We actually have our own air force!"

"And those planes are so beautiful, and they are all single-wing, which looks much more advanced than the devils and preserved fruits."

"Are we going to have a good life too?"

After the shock, they naturally cheered. Such a large formation must be able to carry a lot of supplies.

The soldiers had heard about the Hundred Regiments Campaign, and they had been envious of the firepower of the Eighth Route Army for a long time.

But at this moment, an accident happened. The left landing gear of the last transport plane suddenly broke while taxiing. The whole plane tilted to the left, and even a lot of the belly skin fell off.

Fortunately, the transport plane was carrying daily consumer goods and no flammable or explosive weapons or ammunition inside.

What's more, with Captain Wang Hai's foresight, the transport plane used up almost all its fuel midway, so it neither exploded nor suffered much damage.

Such a thrilling landing made the waiting soldiers watch with fear.

Before the plane stopped on the runway, Master Ye, who was full of worry, immediately led people to rush forward.

"Hygienist, follow me! Hurry! Check if there are any wounded first! Everyone, don't worry about supplies, there will be plenty of time soon!"

As an intellectual who has studied since childhood and has experience living in Europe, it can be said that Master Ye has a certain understanding of aircraft.

After worrying about it, I was naturally moved. Judging from Master Ye's experience, how come such a large twin-engine military transport aircraft costs less than 100,000 US dollars.

The border area spent a lot of money to support themselves.

In the blink of an eye, everyone had arrived next to the transport plane that had the accident.

Facing the unfamiliar behemoth, they felt as if they were trying to find gold in a frying pan and had no idea where to start. Several people discussed for a while, but they didn't know how to enter the aircraft.

However, just as they were about to violently break in and start rescue operations, the three-section cargo door at the rear of the aircraft had been opened from the inside.

After a while, two young men wearing the winter uniforms of the Eighth Route Army walked out of the plane. One of the comrades wearing a dog-skin hat rubbed his shoulders and complained to his companions:

"I told you to let me come, but you still don't believe me. It's better now. There's something wrong with the landing gear, and I don't know if it can be repaired."

"What a fucking disgrace. There are twenty-five transport aircraft in the entire fleet, and we are the only ones with problems."

After finishing speaking, the soldier kicked the sand on the track to vent his anger.

Although the two of them seemed to be in good condition, there was no guarantee that no one had suffered any internal injuries. Several health workers directly put the pilot on a stretcher, and when they were confused, they just picked it up and ran away.

After the situation was under control, Master Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Principal Chang and Captain Wang Hai trotted to the scene, and they passed by the health worker.

After confirming that the damage to the pilot and the transport plane was not serious, they put their hearts in mid-air back into their stomachs.

It was the first time for both parties to meet, but Principal Chang had seen the photos before departure. He straightened his military uniform, immediately stepped forward and saluted and said:

"Hello, Chief! The transport team of the First Air Division is reporting to you!"

"Two-thirds of this batch of supplies are weapons, and the remaining one-third is consumer goods."

Master Ye was so excited that he held the opponent's hand. It was the first time for a famous Northern Expedition general to experience such a large-scale airlift.

"Hello, comrade! You have worked hard on this journey. Please take a rest. Just leave the unloading work to us. We don't have anything else but there are many people."

"good!"

————

When boxes of brand-new military uniforms, baskets of fresh vegetables, and fans of white pork appeared in front of the comrades, everyone's eyes lit up.

These supplies are more useful than the Charge, and the soldiers' work efficiency is much higher than before.

There is a big gap between Fourth Master's troops now and a few years later. In a sense, they are even more difficult than the Eighth Route Army in 1939.

The two teams that went north in advance will be relatively better, at least in the future. The remaining teams can be said to be astonishingly poor.

Because they were caught between the preserved fruits and the Japanese, the soldiers not only had no base of their own, but also had to look at the opinions of others in everything they did.

According to the previous agreement with the bald man, Fourth Master can receive a military salary of 66,000 French currency every month. But this money is not enough at all. Even a division of the Central Army gets more than this amount.

What's more, we have to consider the issue of currency devaluation. Currently, there are fewer and fewer military supplies available.

But with such a small amount of money, you have to look at other people's eyes when taking it, and even those who receive preserved fruits have to come to the army to count the number of people from time to time, which is equivalent to putting a layer of shackles around their necks.

As we all know, delaying payment is a tradition of preserved fruit. He is so cruel to his own people, and even more so to outsiders.

The poor economic situation has left many troops unable to pay for food.

Comrades in charge of logistics and supply even had to borrow money from nurses in military hospitals, because most of them were overseas Chinese or came from wealthy families in big cities, and they brought more or less cash with them when they joined the army.

During the most difficult period, the logistics department could only borrow a little money from each person to buy food, and then pay back the money after the funds for preserved fruits were released.

There was also a problem with the troops' clothing. They often couldn't get enough cotton-padded clothes in winter. In summer, they had to take out the cotton from their cotton-padded clothes and wear blouses. They didn't even have a change of clothes.

Fortunately, the fourth master's activity area is in the south, and the weather and temperature are relatively better. If we were to fight in the north, there would have to be a large number of non-combat casualties.

These conditions will slowly begin to improve after two years. By then, pig farms, Dazhong Brand, Pegasus Brand, fishing, salt drying and other industries will be developed, and the base area will be able to start anew and get rid of poverty and become rich.

Seeing tons of supplies being moved out of the belly of the plane, a young soldier finally couldn't help but ask:

"Company Commander, do you think we can eat meat today? I didn't even eat during the Chinese New Year last year, and I haven't had any fat or water in my stomach for a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, his throat rolled up and down, and there were obvious signs of swallowing saliva, and some even drooled from the corners of his mouth.

The other soldiers also raised their heads and looked at their company commander expectantly.

But at this moment, a fart sounded from the transport team. This sound seemed to turn on a switch, and the sound continued one after another.

Due to the lack of funds in the army, it was difficult to purchase food.

In addition, there was no land of their own to grow crops, so everyone had been eating coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, soybeans, mung beans and yams for half a year, which caused the soldiers to have general digestion problems.

As for meat, don't even think about it. Many comrades have forgotten what meat tastes like, and even pigs have rarely been seen.

Now so many transport planes have sent support materials, not only a large number of new infantry weapons, but also a lot of fine grains and pork and chicken. The soldiers have long been dazzled.

And everyone knows that this kind of assistance is only the first time, and there will be more in the future.

With the vision of a better future, everyone is full of energy.

It has only been more than half an hour since the plane landed, and half of the materials have been transported. Even Master Ye did not expect such a high efficiency.

After hearing the inquiry, the corners of the company commander's mouth curled up. He was also very concerned about the food problem, and just asked his battalion commander specifically.

"Yes! Of course! That stuff can't produce offspring if stored. Let's improve the food for lunch today! Not only pork, but also chicken soup! We can make as much rice as we want!"

"But we have to transport the things to the warehouse quickly, and we can eat after we finish the work."

"By the way, these supplies were transported by comrades from the border area by plane. If we see the pilots later, we must thank them."

After learning that there was meat to eat, the soldiers cheered immediately. They patted their chests loudly, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Company commander! Don't worry! We are not ungrateful, we understand the truth!"

"As for these tasks, just watch us do it! We will definitely have dinner on time today!"

Looking at the group of young men with high morale and fighting spirit in front of him, the company commander carried a weapon box with a smile on his face.

"A bunch of bastards, hurry up and work!

————

On January 1, 1941, the soldiers in the south had a sumptuous lunch. Everyone's mouths were full of oil and their faces showed happy smiles.

But Master Ye couldn't be happy at this time. He had learned through various channels that the main force of the Third War Zone and the 32nd Group were coming.

Seven divisions and 80,000 people seemed to have defeated them.

I'm on the train. The next chapter will be late. I will continue writing
