"It's really a good idea to gain air supremacy first, and then use air superiority to attack the enemy." Xu Zuyi thought for a moment, "This idea is indeed feasible, but you have to know that no combat plan can be perfect. You have
I have never thought about what to do once the Japanese army mobilizes aircraft from other places? For example, what about Central China, East China, or even areas outside the customs? How long can you last with more than 100 fighter planes in your hands?"
"This is indeed a problem." Gao Hongming said calmly: "But now that the Japanese are approaching our doorstep, we can't resist just because our troops are weak. After all, I have hundreds of fighter jets in my hands now. If I really want to
If you fight to the death with the Japanese, you can bite off a piece of Japanese flesh, I don’t believe he doesn’t feel bad!"
Spend money?
For Gao Hongming, this is the least thing to worry about. For him who owns a weapons store, as long as he has enough money, weapons and supplies are really just numbers to him. The only thing he needs to worry about is the training and training of pilots.
No trip.
Gao Hongming's attitude of not taking precious aircraft seriously also made Xu Zuyi look at him with admiration. Is this guy just trying to make himself fat or is he really confident? He didn't know this, but he looked confident.
It doesn't look like he's talking big words.
Thinking of this, he felt something in his heart and said jokingly: "Nephew Gao Xian, since you have no shortage of aircraft, can you sell a few to the fifth theater?"
"Buy a plane?"
Gao Hongming was stunned. Just now he just wanted to buy some medicines and supplies, but now he actually wanted to buy a plane. What did he want to do?
Mr. Xie was in a daze as he listened, but after living for most of his life, he was well-informed. He didn't say anything after seeing this, and just kept his head down and drank tea.
Gao Hongming thought for a while before recalling that Li and Bai once had an air force. The Guangxi Air Force was established in 1931, and its name at that time was the Guangxi Aviation Bureau.
However, due to financial difficulties and low personnel quality, there were many flight accidents. Dozens of accidents occurred within a few years, killing more than ten people. Until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Guangxi Air Force had 60 combat aircraft and more than 70 pilots.
After the all-out Anti-Japanese War, Li and Bai unconditionally handed over the Air Force they had worked so hard to create to the unified command of the National Government. Subsequently, the Guangxi Air Force was taken over by the Central Air Force, and its main force was organized into the 3rd Air Force Brigade.
It's a pity that after several wars, these aircraft were quickly exhausted. Is it possible that Li and Bai now have the idea of rebuilding the air force?
But for him, as long as it is used in the domestic anti-Japanese battlefield, he does not sell it to anyone.
After Xu Zuyi said what seemed like a joke, he kept observing Gao Hongming's reaction.
I saw Gao Hongming smile slightly: "Mr. Xu, as long as your purpose of buying the aircraft is to fight against Japan, then it doesn't matter if I sell it to you? But I have to put some plans in advance. Today's aircraft are no better than they were ten years ago.
Today's aircraft are becoming more and more complex, and the prices are getting higher and higher, so you have to be mentally prepared before buying, and I only accept cash, silver and gold or US dollars and pounds, and do not accept legal tender."
Xu Zuyi originally just tried it out, but he didn't expect Gao Hongming to agree to his request so readily.
He was stunned and asked tentatively: "I heard that you are equipped with a very advanced P-47 fighter jet. I wonder what the price is?"
"Eighty thousand dollars a piece." Gao Hongming answered without hesitation.
"What about the C-47 large transport aircraft?"
"$220,000 a piece."
"hiss……"
Not only Xu Zuyi, but also Mr. Xie took a breath. This is no longer expensive, but expensive as hell.
You must know that this is US dollars. If converted into oceans, the price of a C-47 transport aircraft is almost 528,000 oceans. If you add in the loss of parts and fuel consumption of the aircraft, the price of buying a transport aircraft is already
An infantry regiment can be formed.
"That's all, the Fifth War Zone is too poor, we really can't afford it... we can't afford it!"
Xu Zuyi waved his hands repeatedly. While giving up, he also had a new understanding of Gao Hongming's financial resources. You must know that this guy has more than two hundred aircraft of various types in his hands. No wonder even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing
Drooling over this air force.
"How about this!"
He pondered for a moment: "I will first buy you one hundred boxes of penicillin, five hundred boxes of sulfa powder, one million M24 grenades and one hundred anti-aircraft guns. Each anti-aircraft gun is equipped with a thousand rounds of ammunition. It needs to be delivered to your door. Total
How much does it cost and when can it be delivered?”
"Two million oceans, if you settle in gold, I can give you a 10% discount."
Gao Hongming calculated silently and came up with the result, "As long as the money is in place, the goods can be shipped immediately. I will have the transport plane deliver them directly."
"Okay...I'll call Chief Li right away and ask him to make a decision. I'll get a reply within three days!"
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
The two of them settled on a deal worth two million in just a few words, as easily as buying two Chinese cabbages at the vegetable market. Mr.
It was too fast, and he was really not used to the business of one to two million yuan.
Just when Mr. Xie saw that the two of them had finished talking about business and was about to invite them to the restaurant for dinner, a shrill air raid siren sounded nearby.
"No, there's something wrong!"
Gao Hongming and Xu Zuyi stood up almost at the same time.
Almost at the same time as the air defense siren sounded, twenty-six Type 99 heavy explosive aircraft, surrounded by thirty-two Zero fighters, flew towards Liantai County.
It is already evening, just in time to finish eating. Moreover, under the management of Gao Hongming, Liantai County has developed into a large county with a permanent population of more than 100,000. In addition, the Liantai Militia has been recruiting troops on a large scale recently. Once it is
The damage caused by the Japanese plane bombing would be unimaginable.
And to say the least, even if the Japanese aircraft cannot cause much damage to Liantai County, if a bomb falls on Liantai County, it will cause great panic to the soldiers and civilians of Liantai County. As long as it can disrupt the morale of Liantai soldiers and civilians,
It will be very beneficial for the next actions.
The Japanese's abacus was naturally very good, but what they didn't expect was that when they were more than 80 kilometers away from Liantai County, more than 20 fighter planes suddenly emerged from the clouds and rushed towards the Japanese aircraft formation.
go.
The escorting Zero fighter jets saw this and rushed forward, and an air battle immediately began...
