Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

When the performance of our aircraft completely overwhelmed the Japanese Army Aviation, with the actual combat experience of the three combat heroes, it would be easy to destroy three Type 97 fighter jets.

During this period, the three people who had spread out to guard the surroundings also came back one after another. All Spitfires reunited and continued escort missions all the way south.

"After investigation, no enemy planes have been found so far. Most likely they were just patrolling in those small days. They were unlucky enough to bump into us and lost their lives."

"Captain, your speed is still so fast! The enemy was killed before I could even see clearly. Congratulations on breaking your own record."

The voice in the communication channel was like a reassurance, making the rest of the formation breathe a sigh of relief.

If one is accidentally entangled by an enemy plane, it is equivalent to stabbing the enemy's nest in East China.

The other party must be familiar with the famous C47 transport aircraft. After all, Nakajima bought the production license of Douglas Company, and they didn't know how many tons of materials the twenty-five sky trains could carry.

It wouldn't be too much to have a flying team at that time, and no one with any brain would let go of such a fat sheep that is almost brought to their lips.

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

Although the Japanese lost three fighter jets, the ground would definitely not be able to react for a while. He planned to use this time difference to run away quickly and avoid a battle with a high probability.

"I will be the pilot for the next route, and everyone will follow closely. Enter the 800-meter point, push the fuel to accelerate and prepare to climb."

"The transport aircraft formation is also moving forward at full speed, just enough to consume more fuel. Now none of us know the situation at the destination field airport, so we need to prepare in advance to avoid being anxious when landing."

"receive!"

As the flight altitude increases, the air pressure begins to decrease and the temperature also decreases.

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

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

Unexpectedly, the construction level of the Wannan Field Airport is very high.

Just by looking at it from a high altitude, you can see that many details of the airport are handled better than those in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area.

The three runways are very reasonable in terms of length, width and location. There are even ground staff on both sides responsible for navigation. Without even thinking about it, you know that there must be professional guidance.

However, the specific reasons will be revealed upon analysis. After all, before the army was reorganized, it had two biplanes.

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.

When the bald man learned about this, he was furious and cursed Niang Xipi angrily.

For this aircraft, comrades in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area not only established an aviation bureau, but also built an airport covering an area of ​​100 acres.

The second one was a British light trainer aircraft captured by Hongyi. Although no airport was built, a runway was specially prepared for it.

There are many veterans in southern Anhui who stayed to fight guerrillas, and it makes sense that some of them have experience in building airports.

After a short discussion, Captain Wang Hai decided to let the transport aircraft formation land first. Their six Spitfires continued to circle in case an enemy suddenly appeared.

Principal Chang looked at the co-pilot's seat. His partner was a little nervous at this time, and sweat continued to appear on his forehead.

"Relax, this is not the first time we have landed. Sit tight and pay attention to my operations. From now on, you will have to sit in the main pilot's seat sooner or later."

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered the landing gear of the sky train. Then adjust the angle and reduce the speed and height.

Bang!

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

In addition to 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 on the landing site. The benefits of the rear tricycle landing gear layout are most vividly reflected when landing at a field airport.

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

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

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

Everyone even wondered whether they had too little contact with the border area, which led to them not knowing that the army 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-winged. They look much more advanced than the Japs and Preserved Fruits."

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

The shock was naturally followed by cheers. Such a huge formation must be able to carry a lot of supplies.

The soldiers have all heard about the Hundred Regiment Battle, and they have been envious of the Eighth Route Army's firepower for more than a day or two.

But at this moment, an accident happened. While the last transport plane was taxiing, the left landing gear suddenly collapsed. The entire plane tilted to the left, and even a lot of skin on the belly of the plane fell off.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, the transport plane was carrying consumer goods and there were no flammable or explosive weapons and 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 rushed forward with his people.

"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.

In order to support themselves, the border area really spent a lot of money.

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 long time, 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 them, wearing a dog-skin hat, rubbed his shoulders and complained to his companion:

"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 they had not 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 even 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 could only take out the cotton from their cotton-padded clothes and wear blouses, without even 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 to 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 sound came from the transport team. This sound seemed to turn on a certain switch, and a series of sounds came and went.

Due to the lack of funds for the troops, food was difficult to purchase.

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

As for meat, don’t even think about it. Many comrades have forgotten what meat tastes like, and they have never even seen a few pigs.

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

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

With longing for a better future, everyone is full of energy.

Only half an hour has passed since the plane landed, and half of the supplies have been transported. Even Master Ye did not expect such high efficiency.

After hearing the inquiry, the company commander's lips curved upward. He was also very concerned about the food issue, and just asked his battalion commander specifically.

"Yes! Of course I have! You can't give birth to that thing if you save it. We will improve the food at noon today! Not only will there be pork, but there will also be chicken soup! You can also make rice!"

"But, we have to transport things to the warehouse quickly. We can't eat until the work is done."

"By the way, these supplies were all flown in by comrades from the border area. If we see the pilot later, we will have to thank them."

After learning that there was meat to eat, the soldiers immediately cheered. Each of them beat their chests loudly, as if each of them had received a shot of chicken blood.

"Company Commander! Don't worry! We are not white-eyed wolves, we all understand the truth!"

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

Seeing the group of young men with high morale and fighting spirit in front of him, the company commander picked up a weapons box with a smile on his face.

“You bunch of bastards, get to work quickly!

————

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

But at this time, Master Ye was not happy. Through various channels, he had learned that the main force of the third theater and the 32nd Group were coming.

Seven divisions with 80,000 men seemed to have defeated them.

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