There is a reason why Gao Hongming does not regard the red special alcohol type Good Luck as a distribution material. He does not know what is going on in the store. The red Good Luck cigarettes are actually several times more expensive than the silver and green Good Luck cigarettes.
times.
When the cigarettes were first distributed to the troops, the regimental commander Gao Da was relatively poor and reluctant, so he kept the red extra-mellow type for himself. As time went by, everyone in the regiment knew that the regimental commander smoked red.
The taste of good luck is the most fragrant, so it has gradually formed a reputation that the red good luck smoked by the group is the best. Many old smokers often come to Gao Hongming to smoke cigarettes.
After finishing smoking a cigarette, Gao Hongming flicked the butt of the cigarette. The cigarette flew in an arc several meters away, and a long line of smoke came out of his mouth.
He looked ahead for a while and then said: "The Japs are only the vanguard this time, the main force should still be behind. This time we are facing a whole division of Japs."
Are you afraid? You two can be considered old people who have been with me for many years. If you have any opinions, feel free to tell me. Tell the truth and don't use empty words to frustrate me."
Wu Chengfeng threw the cigarette butt at his feet, stepped on it hard with the sole of his shoe, and laughed: "Since Lao Xiao and I returned to our hometown from the Northwest Army seven years ago, we originally thought that we could live a comfortable life with our hands.
, but in the end I realized that it is too difficult to survive in this world.
That year, my daughter-in-law and my child became seriously ill together. If Mr. Gao hadn't been so compassionate and asked a doctor to treat them and give them medicine, the two of them would have died long ago. So from then on, I swore that I would sell my life to the Gao family in this life.
Already.
Later, something happened to the master, and the young master organized a militia group again, and Lao Xiao and I resumed our old business.
Actually, let me tell you, although the Japanese have come with a division, we are just waiting for work. Even if we cannot defeat them, it is still okay to make them lose a tooth.
The worst that can happen is that I will die, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, before I came here, I had already made arrangements with my mother-in-law at home and left a sum of money, which was enough for her to raise the child."
Xiao Zhankui said: "Tuanzong, actually I think so. Although our military strength is not as good as that of the Japanese, we have heavy artillery, plus sophisticated weapons and sufficient ammunition. If we just defend, the Japanese may not be able to attack."
The only thing I worry about now is the kid's plane.
This thing is so annoying. It buzzes like a mosquito and is hard to guard against. It throws the bomb and runs away. What I am most worried about is that if the Japanese planes blow up our artillery positions, then we will be too passive."
"Yeah... I think so too." Wu Chengfeng also frowned, "As long as we have heavy artillery and enough shells, we won't be afraid no matter how many Japanese soldiers come. The only thing we worry about is the plane.
, this thing is incredibly fast, and it explodes into a large area, making it really hard to guard against."
"yes!"
Gao Hongming let out a long sigh, and reflexively took out another cigarette with his right hand, lit one and threw the cigarette case to Wu Chengfeng.
Wu Chengfeng gave one to Xiao Zhankui, lit one himself, and then naturally put it into his pocket.
The smoke was dim, and Gao Hongming fell into deep thought.
Of course he knew how powerful airplanes were. In later military circles, there was a saying that those with air supremacy would conquer the world. When American soldiers encounter problems, they will call for air support as soon as possible. Once there is no air support, the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military will at least decline.
More than half.
Even though they had fought against Japanese planes several times in the past, and they had taken advantage of them, it was all because the other side was careless or didn't understand them well. Once the Japanese plane comes again this time,
I'm afraid the situation will be different.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about the air defense force he had in hand.
After the last attack on Wild Wolf Valley, he learned from the pain and felt the threat from Japanese aircraft, so he expanded the air defense battalion (including 12 88MM anti-aircraft guns and 18 Swedish L-60 40mm anti-aircraft guns).
).
Not only that, Gao Hongming also organized a firepower battalion, equipped with 36 German-made FL**38 20mm anti-aircraft guns. This firepower company can perform both air defense and ground support. It can be said that in order to deal with Japanese aircraft
Gao Hongming can be said to have taken great pains.
After mentally calculating the air defense force at hand, Gao Hongming felt a little more relaxed. With the air defense force at hand, he could still cope with it as long as the Japanese aircraft did not launch a large-scale dispatch, but it was a pity...
Thinking of this, he sighed softly and couldn't help but said: "It would be great if we also had our own plane."
"My own plane?"
Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui couldn't help but smile bitterly. With the interruption of international aid channels to China, China's war of resistance has become very difficult. Let alone aircraft, today's national army cannot even secure conventional weapons and ammunition, let alone aircraft.
.
Nowadays, the few remaining aircraft of the Nationalist Government are hidden away like treasures. Without Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou’s nod, ordinary people cannot even mobilize a single aircraft.
Besides, a plane can easily cost 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, which is not what a small militia like them can afford.
Even if you reluctantly buy one or two aircraft, subsequent maintenance, consumption of fuel, spare parts, dedicated pilots and ground staff do not require a huge investment of money and materials.
This point can be understood by referring to the Eighth Route Army next door. Even though the Eighth Route Army now has hundreds of thousands of troops, it still cannot afford to fly planes. My young master really dares to think so.
Gao Hongming naturally didn't know that his two subordinates were slandering him. At this time, his thoughts were far away.
In weapons stores, due to discounts, World War II aircraft are not expensive, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and the prices for fuel and accessories are even less.
If he really wanted to buy one, it wouldn't be a problem to buy dozens of planes with his current worth, but as the old saying goes, his status dictates that he should not be too high-profile.
Once he formed the flying force, Yan Laoxi from Kenanpo, not to mention Chiang Kai-shek, would be the first to cause trouble for him.
A small militia has a plane. What do you want to do? Is this something you can play with? Hand it over to me now.
Don't be surprised, Gao Hongming is certain that as long as he dares to form a flying force, this kind of thing will definitely happen.
Weakness is the original sin, this saying never goes out of style.
"Hey..."
Gao Hongming, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his fingers. He looked down and saw that it was the cigarette that had burned his fingers at some point.
He quickly threw the cigarette butt out and blew hard on his burned fingers for a few times before he felt better.
At this moment, the observer nearby shouted: "Commander, the Japanese army is coming!"
Gao Hongming quickly raised his telescope and saw smoke billowing in front of him. A team stretching for dozens of miles was heading towards Qixia Pass from the front...
