Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Three days later, the Japanese-occupied airport in Haikou.

At noon, a scorching sun hung high in the sky.

At this time, which should have been a time for summer vacation and rest, the Dayingshan Airport, once known as the window of Qiongya, was bustling with people and extremely busy.

"Kawaguchi-kun, quickly lead your team to drive away the nearby seabirds, and never let them interfere with the flight plan of the support troops."

"Mimu team, your task is to prepare fuel, ammunition and spare parts. Although we don't know the specific arrangements of Commander Sunakawa, our ground crew department must be fully prepared."

"At the critical moment, no one is allowed to fall behind. Everyone, act immediately!"

In order to welcome the reinforcements from the mainland, all ground crews at Dayingshan Airport were dispatched.

These devils have clear division of labor and perform their duties. They repeatedly check themselves in front of the iron hangars, and they are obviously ready to fight at any time.

During the long wait, a relatively young devil showed a look of longing, and kept asking the leader beside him for detailed information about the support troops.

"Captain Takeuchi, our Commander Sunagawa has a really strong backing. There are 37 fighters, all of which are the latest Zero-21 models. If it were an ordinary lieutenant general, how could he have such a big display?"

"By the way, do you know the specific number of the friendly forces? Which major is their commander?"

"I heard that this unit is the ace of the naval aviation force. It has shot down countless British and American fighters in the Pacific battlefield. Each of them is a dragon and phoenix among men."

Qiongya is extremely important to the Japanese army. The devils not only regard it as a key place to obtain rich strategic resources, but also as one of the rear bases for the southward advance plan.

In a sense, the title of "Manchuria of the Navy" is not groundless.

It is precisely because of the extraordinary strategic value of the island that the Military General Staff approved Sunagawa Kanetiao's request for assistance without hesitation and sent a nearly full-strength elite flight team.

The curious inquiry of the team members made the ground crew team leader Takeuchi Yujiro roll his eyes silently.

Such confidential military information was not something that a small sergeant like him could get in touch with.

However, in order to maintain his image in front of his juniors, the old Japanese still pretended to scold:

"Shut up, don't ask things you shouldn't ask. During the war, it's best to put away your curiosity, be careful that the intelligence agency of the Security Bureau will catch you as a spy!"

"When the support troops are in place, you must follow the team members closely and don't leave my field of vision."

Hearing this, the little Japanese was like a frost-bitten eggplant, and there was no vitality in his body.

Knowing that his team members had a dream of flying, Takeuchi Yujiro shook his head, and then patted the other party on the shoulder, indicating that he should give up those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible.

There is no way, the current Navy focuses on the elite route.

The pilots who fly the Zero fighter are all elites selected through layers of tests.

The training content of these people is quite rich. In addition to physical fitness, air combat theory and flight knowledge, they also have to go through a lot of practical flights.

An ordinary soldier from ground crew has no chance to become a pilot.

Unless, try your luck by switching to the Army.

I heard that the Army Aviation is recently drawing flight candidates from the army, and even absorbing a group of passionate young people with good physical fitness from the public, as if they are going to launch some large-scale campaign.

"Okay, I know."

Just as the two devils were talking, a burst of urgent alarm bells suddenly rang in Dayingshan Airport.

Accompanied by the piercing air defense alarm, the ground crew who were still checking the tool list immediately started to move.

They decisively stopped all the work above, and then quickly moved to the anti-aircraft gun position in groups, ready to fight against enemy aircraft at any time.

"Captain Takeuchi, is the enemy the legendary Eighth Route Army Air Force? What should we do now? There is no relevant course on air defense in the training manual."

Unlike his own team members who were panicked, the ground crew leader Takeuchi Yujiro was quite calm.

The old devil first covered his subordinates' mouths to prevent the other party from continuing to confuse the army.

Then he looked at the Type 96 fighter not far away and explained confidently:

"Don't worry, it will definitely not be the Eighth Route Army Air Force. Qiongya is so far away from the North China region of the Republic of China, and a rash attack does not conform to the logic of modern military operations."

"What's more, the fighters in the airport have not been dispatched, so the unknown target is most likely our support troops."

Sure enough, only half a minute later, the airport broadcast sounded again.

"The alarm is lifted, all ground crews immediately return to their posts. The coastal reconnaissance post has just sent back news that the support troops from the mainland are about to land."

The Japanese Navy really attaches great importance to the radio-related technology tree.

However, due to technical limitations, the quality of their transceivers is very poor.

This thing not only has a lot of noise, but also has various malfunctions from time to time.

The above problems were barely solved until the Zero Fighter was developed to the Type 52.

So many naval aviation pilots will take the initiative to dismantle the radio of their vehicles and saw off the antenna on the top of the aircraft in order to achieve the purpose of weight reduction and perfect aerodynamics.

Without a radio, how can we contact the tower at the destination in advance? This is why the air defense alarm was just sounded at Dayingshan Airport.

······

Five minutes later, thirty-seven Type 21 Zero fighters emerged from the clouds one after another.

Even at the end of the journey, the Japanese Navy pilots still maintained their combat formation and did not relax their vigilance due to external reasons.

After circling over the airport for a while, these fighters were divided into three double-plane formations to guard the surrounding airspace, and the others landed in an orderly manner at Dayingshan Airport according to the numbers on the tails of the aircraft.

"Wow! Look at the tail of the pilot plane. That Zero fighter has four shot-down marks, and the pilot driving it is actually a quasi-ace!"

"This is the first time that our Qiongya Garrison has received such a big shot!"

"It's a great honor, a great honor!"

Looking at the green fuselage and the tick mark on the tail, the Japanese ground crew present all exclaimed.

For these low-level soldiers in the rear, the quasi-ace-level Navy pilots are almost big shots that they will never be able to touch in their lifetime.

After the fighter plane stopped, the flight team leader Shinjo Daisuke climbed out of the cabin first, and then jumped down by stepping on the pedals on the fuselage.

Behind the old devil, 36 short subordinates followed closely.

Compared with the local pilots of the Qiongya Guard, this reinforcement force is really impressive.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Makaku-kun?"

"How come you have only been promoted to the first level after three years? Could it be that the man of the school back then can't even come up with a decent achievement?"

"In my opinion, why don't you just join me. It just so happens that my flight team is not fully staffed, and adding you can barely be regarded as a supplement to the strength."

In the early days of the Pacific War, a series of conflicts of varying sizes occurred between the two major participating countries, Japan and Ugly.

During this period, the combat-experienced pilots of the Honko Navy fully utilized the characteristics of the Zero fighter's light weight, long range and excellent maneuverability, and once found no place on the battlefield.

No other reason, who let Ugly's main carrier-based aircraft still be the F4F Wildcat.

This legendary durable aircraft developed by Grumman Steelworks is clumsy and heavy, and has no advantage in maneuverability. In addition, the Sage Shears tactic has not yet been fully popularized, so the pilots of this country naturally have a smooth journey.

If you really want to hunt turkeys, you have to wait for the subsequent F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair.

After hearing the sarcastic sarcasm of his former classmates, the local flight captain of Qiongya, Zhenjiao Ganxiong, immediately changed his face.

However, he was unable to refute it, because he was not as skilled as others.

With the idea of ​​losing the battle, he tried to save his dignity:

"Major Shinjo, since we are both graduates of the Naval Academy, I advise you to put away your arrogance."

"The local resistance organization in Qiongya is affiliated with TG, and the Eighth Route Army's air force is unique in the Asian battlefield. Can you pat your chest and guarantee that those guerrillas will not ask their superiors for reinforcements?"

"Don't forget that the enemy's aircraft has a longer range than the Zero fighter."

As soon as these words came out, Shinjo Daisuke laughed out loud. In the eyes of the old devils, the old classmates of the past were just forcing themselves to save face.

In fact, the intelligence department of the Japanese Navy had long collected information about the Eighth Route Army Air Force, and the Military Affairs Department and the Combined Fleet had also issued relevant documents.

However, the above series of actions did not attract the attention of front-line pilots.

The proud sea eagle believed that the description from the battlefield of the Republic of China was too exaggerated, and it was probably an excuse for the failure of the army idiots and their colleagues.

It is just a semi-colonial and semi-feudal agricultural country. Even if it has the ability to build fighter jets, it is far inferior to its own Zero Fighter technology.

So in their flight identification manual, there is not even a photo of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

"Mr. Makaku, I think you are scared by the Eighth Route Army. The so-called Eighth Route Army Air Force is just an Asian force flying British fighter jets."

"It's just the Spitfire and Mosquito. I have seen these planes before. Bullying the army is already their limit."

"If I meet them, I will definitely make the enemy come and go!"

In the eyes of Shinjo Daisuke, the Spitfire of the Eighth Route Army Air Force is most likely the initial model of MK1, and its performance is barely similar to that of the Zero Fighter 11.

But what he didn't know was that the Spitfire fighter of the Eighth Route Army was the MK9 that was far ahead of the times when it first appeared.

In addition to more than a year of technical iteration, its performance in all aspects is almost the same as the future Griffin Spitfire, and its maximum level flight speed is even infinitely close to the resentment.

What's more, the comrades of the First Air Division are not second-rate pilots who left Britain in Australia and Southeast Asia.

Advanced air combat theory, plus large and small combat experience, will definitely give IJN a Chinese shock in the next action.

Just as Masaku Mikio was about to continue to refute, a burst of urgent air defense alarms came again over Dayingshan Airport.

"Huh? There are support troops? Don't you have 37 Zero fighters?" (End of this chapter)
