Chen Haihua's qualifications for selecting pilots have always been extremely strict. The test started with physical fitness tests, followed by cultural tests.

Even after the first exam, there will be a re-examination later. During the training, the instructor has the right to report people he thinks are not suitable. An investigation team will come to the test, and if it really fails, it will be returned.

Even if you pass the hurdles and become a qualified student, you still have to practice flight under the command of an old pilot. Only after completing 300 hours of flight training can you be considered a preliminary qualified pilot.

At this time, you will start to learn to fly solo. After flying solo for a hundred hours, you will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and be led by old pilots to get into air combat.

The strict inspections of the National Defense Force Air Force ensured the strong combat effectiveness of the pilots trained by the Air Force, which allowed the Air Force to suppress the Japanese army to fight.

But such a choice is not without flaws. The biggest problem is that the Air Force can replenish very little new blood. Because of the cumbersome links and strict regulations, most of the students were defeated quickly.

Many unqualified pilots can only be transferred to ground support or enter the army after being eliminated.

If it were normal times, Pao Ye would agree with Chen Haihua's approach. After all, only by strict training and selection can we cultivate the best warriors. If this were not the case, letting them go to the battlefield would be equivalent to letting them die.

But now the situation is different. The Japanese have significantly accelerated the pace of pilot training. At the same time, their industrial capabilities are already stronger than those of the National Defense Forces.

In the previous battle, Gao Zhihang's reward highlighted that the Japanese army was obviously constantly improving their fighter jets. Because they enhanced the pilot's survivability, the Japanese army could retain a group of pilots who had experienced actual combat in every air battle.

These talents are the biggest treasures. They can return to Japan to train new pilots and also serve as team leaders to lead new pilots to fight.

"Time waits for no one. Although your Commander-in-Chief Chen's approach is good, it is inappropriate for us now!" Pao Ye said to Gao Zhihang: "This time the Japanese came directly to the entire joint fleet, and there were hundreds of new fighter jets equipped on it. Adding to the fighter jets of the Japanese Southern Army, their fighter jets reached more than 700!"

Gao Zhihang took a breath. He did not expect that the Japanese would directly invest in Annan. They actually sent the entire joint fleet and were equipped with new fighter jets.

"The pilots of the joint fleet are not rookies. Most of them have participated in the Battle of Pearl Harbor. They have also fought with you during the Battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is difficult to deal with!"

Pao Ye looked at Gao Zhihang and said in a deep voice: "In terms of courage, I think our National Defense Forces soldiers dare to say a few words. In terms of calmness and physical fitness, I believe they can also meet the requirements of pilots. Moreover, they are all literate, and training will reduce your difficulty a lot..."

In fact, the Pao Ye had already thought about turning the Army into the Air Force directly. But it was not implemented at that time. On the one hand, it was because of Chen Haihua's feelings. You just stared at the Air Force so straightforwardly. What would Chen Haihua think?!

Even if I don’t care, I have to consider Chen Haihua’s feelings. And there was no need to do so at that time. But as the war unfolded, the Japanese army continued to strengthen their troops and combat power.

Master Pao has to bring up this matter.

"Don't tell your commander-in-chief about this matter first. I will explain it to him." Pao Ye paused and said to Gao Zhihang: "I'll give you a warrant later. You can take people to pick people. Anyone who likes you can transfer them away. My only requirement for you is to form an army as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"

"Yes!!" Gao Zhihang stood up straight and responded loudly.

The Pao Master quickly signed a warrant and stamped his own seal and handed it to Gao Zhihang. After the latter took the warrant, he saluted and left the command center.

At this time, the transition of fighter jets was not stopped at the airport in the Southwest Military Region. At the newly opened airport on the front line position, the National Defense Forces tiger shark interceptor fighter jets kept flying over and landing on the airport.

Then, under the command of the ground staff, they drove into the hidden hangar. On the ground, a series of 95-type 7-ton load trucks of Minsheng were running on the mountain road.

The car carried the ammunition and medicine supplies needed for the front line and headed to the front line position. Following this team, there was also an army of the Third Legion of the Southwest Military Region behind.

The engineer troops belonging to the Third Corps of the Southwest Military Region ahead are constantly building temporary wartime roads. They must ensure the smooth flow of the roads, so that the materials from the next level cannot be transported.

The worst thing is that the rainy season is coming, and all roads will become muddy. In this case, engineers must ensure the smooth flow of the road, otherwise if the front line is not supplied, it is likely to lead to a defeat in the war.

The National Defense Forces were busy, and the Japanese were not idle either. Yamashita Tomoto had arrived at the Mushu front line with his own troops and replaced the troops that Sakurai Shizuo was fighting.

To Sakurai Shinzo, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, Sugiyama Tsuki did not blame him. Instead, he gave him a lot of comfort. At the same time, Sugiyama Tsuki asked the 28th Army to withdraw and repair it, and the position here would be fully taken over by Yamashita Tomomi.

Sakurai Shizuo had no resistance to Sugiyama's order. After handing over the position, Sakurai Shizuo took his incomplete wing and left the position directly.

The Annan National Army stayed and continued to serve as the reserve team of Fengwen of Yamashita.

"Chirp chirp...bang d!d..." On the Japanese positions outside the Annanbei River, the Chinese Defense Forces were still trying to attack the Japanese positions.

An Sipu, commander of the First Legion of the Southwest Military Region, looked at the soldiers of the First Legion who were fighting in the rain with a gloomy face, and did not say a word.

Starting from Liangshan, the attack was smooth at the beginning. But after entering the Beijiang area, the Japanese counterattack began to become fierce.

Moreover, in this area, the Japanese army arranged a large number of fortifications. The First Legion fought hard and had no way to rush around like before.

The First Corps of the Southwest Military Region was responsible for the attack on Liangshan by Pingxiang. The command given to them by the General Command of the Southwest Military Region was to require them to break through the Japanese defense line in the Liangshan area, march into the Beijiang area, and then threaten Hanoi in Annan.

But when the First Legion fought all the way and was about to complete the strategic task, the Japanese resistance began to become stronger. Even during the day, a large number of Japanese fighter jets appeared to support the Japanese troops on the ground.

"Remove it..." An Si got off his telescope and said in a deep voice: "If we continue to fight like this, we will only suffer greater losses. Report the situation to Commander-in-Chief Lu, the General Command, and said that we hope the Air Force can provide us with certain support..."

It was really a dilemma to let An Sibo say this. Anyone who knows An Sibo knows that he was the commander of the First Legion of the Southwest Military Region and has always been a man who would rather betray him.

It was no less difficult to ask him to lower his head and ask for help from his brothers to get a sow up the tree. If it were the past, An Sibo would definitely not be willing to ask for help.

But looking at the soldiers of the First Legion who fought all the way to Beijiang, An Sibu chose to ask for help. He knew that he would never be able to fight without the assistance of the Air Force.

During the day, An Sibo chose to defend because of the Japanese bombing. He even let most of the troops enter a lurking state to avoid the Japanese bombing. Even the heavy artillery was hidden.

He only sent a reconnaissance team to investigate the Japanese positions and artillery positions. However, due to the strict defense of the Japanese army, An Sibo found nothing.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not attack the National Wehrmacht after the bombing, but only launched a tentative attack on the First Legion. After discovering that the First Legion was tightly defended, they chose to retract their positions.

In order to avoid losses, An Sibo chose to launch an attack on the Japanese positions at night. This was the only time that could offset the Japanese air firepower.

But it was obvious that the first legion did not achieve good results. An Sibo finally chose to withdraw the troops and then asked the Air Force for assistance.

Gao Zhihang returned to the newly built Southeast Asian theater Air Force enemy front command and received a telegram from An Sibo. He couldn't help but sigh while holding the telegram.

He had some doubts about Pao Master’s statement before, but the current situation is really as Pao Master expected. The air battle in Muzhou is equally good, and now the First Legion in Beijiang is asking for help again.

Now the air force cannot support two-line combat. At least, the airplanes in Diankun will have enough fighters to support the two operations.

What made Gao Zhihang most worried was the strong industrial capabilities of the Japanese army. The National Defense Forces began to collect the Japanese army's industrial intelligence very early. According to the summary of various aspects, Japan can produce at least 700 fighter jets per month.

Even if the production of new fighter jets is slightly smaller, their monthly production and their pilot training are enough for the Air Force of the National Defense Force to drink a pot of food.

Gao Zhihang called out an adjutant and ordered: "Call back to Commander An of the First Corps. The battle situation in Muzhou is in full swing. The Air Force really can't draw too many fighter jets to support the operation. I will ask the fighter jets from Diankun Airport to support Beijiang. But please commander An to be patient for the time being. After all the fighter jets equipped in our Southeast Asian theater arrived, we will launch an attack on the Japanese army..."

"Suzuyama's work is very good, and I'm not wasting my money to snatch those new fighter jets to support him." Tokyo, Japan's Army and Navy Base Camp Miyain Miyato said with a smile: "These supplies are enough for us to produce the first batch of new fighter jets! Let Mitsubishi step up its improvements, and I hope to see the improvements of the next batch of fighter jets!"
