Due to the crazy sneak attacks by the Japanese army in the past few days, despite the help of radar, the losses of the 1st Air Division were still huge. The average casualties of more than ten pilots every day made Su Rui feel as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife.
For Suri, the loss of equipment is nothing. Suri only needs to use his hands and spend a little electricity to cash it out. But the pilot can't do it. It takes countless fuel, time and money to accumulate. They say they compare price to price.
Gold is light. For Suri, these pilots who he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to train are not gold, they are simply diamonds! Now that they are being consumed by the Japanese like this, he feels that his heart is broken
There is a dull pain.
Looking at these young faces, Su Rui thought to himself, is he a little too conservative? The P47 Thunder fighter is certainly very advanced, but its advantage against the Zero is not very great. Should he use other fighters?
Come out so that more young men in the Air Force can be saved.
"What if this attracts the attention of Western countries such as the United States and Germany and leads to unpredictable consequences?"
"No, in order for China to suffer less and for these lovely young men, it is right to take some risks. At worst, it will just be more rogue. Isn't that what Americans do?"
Suri's heart was constantly at war with heaven and man, and finally he made up his mind. He cast a firm gaze in his eyes and said to the pilots in front of him with a smile: "Brothers, who is fighting against the little devil's Zero fighter today?"
How do you feel after having your hand removed?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and then a young lieutenant stood up and said, "Sir, I fought against the Japanese Zero today and shot down two of their fighters."
"oh!"
Su Rui glanced at the lieutenant in surprise and asked, "Tell me, is the Japanese Zero easy to fight?"
The lieutenant smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, to be honest, it is really difficult to fight. I had to escape death several times before shooting them down. If I was not careful during the battle, I might be the one who died."
"
"What's the reason? Didn't I explain to you how to deal with the Zero? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Su Rui asked with interest.
"Sir, of course the method you mentioned is effective, otherwise I would have been shot down by the Japanese today." After hearing what Suri said, the lieutenant waved his hand hurriedly.
"Then why is it so thrilling?"
The lieutenant smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, our P47 Thunder fighter is not much different from the Japanese Zero. Each has its own advantages, but the Little Japanese fighter is very flexible at medium and low altitudes. We have suffered such losses several times.
, several brothers were injured after being bitten by him during the chase."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Su Rui nodded. The advantage of the P47 is high altitude and high speed. It is indeed not the best fighter to deal with the Zero. However, this lieutenant was able to shoot down two of them in today's battle with this P47.
Type Zero, this shows his ability. Su Rui looked at the young lieutenant with admiring eyes: "Lieutenant, what is your name?"
The lieutenant puffed up his chest and said, "Reporting to the military seat, my name is Feng Xiaoming, and I am currently the deputy captain of the first squadron of the third squadron of the third flying regiment!"
"Let's do it." Su Rui nodded, "In two days, our logistics department will transport another batch of new fighters. Once these fighters arrive, they will be given priority to equip your third squadron. I believe you will definitely like this new fighter.
Yes, it is the best weapon against Japanese Zero fighters!"
"What? Sir, are we going to equip new fighters again?"
As soon as Su Rui said this, everyone was shocked. It has not been two months since the P47 Thunder Equipment Army was equipped with the P47 Thunderbolt, but the army has obtained another new fighter plane? Which country produced it this time?
There has been a legend circulating in the Three Hundred Army. It is said that the military seat has a close relationship with an overseas organization. It can continuously obtain the most advanced weapons in the world, whether they are flying in the sky or crawling on the ground. The military seat can
We can get it, and it is the best. Just look at the current equipment of the Three Hundred Army. Now both officers and soldiers of the Three Hundred Army can pat their chests and say that their equipment is not the best in the world, but at least
It is also top-notch in Asia, and all of this is due to the military commander in front of me. Now that he said that he will buy new equipment, it is 100% true.
"Sir, are you telling the truth?" The first person to speak out was none other than Zheng Shaoyu, the commander of the Kongyi Division.
As the commander of the 1st Air Division, Zheng Shaoyu is naturally most concerned about the troop's equipment change. Although the Wildcat fighters and Thunder fighters currently equipped by the 1st Air Division are considered very advanced monoplanes, who would dislike his many goodies?
Woolen cloth?
"Of course it's true." Su Rui nodded, a hint of joking flashed in his eyes, "When did you see me and didn't mean what you said?"
"Well, that's true." Zheng Shaoyu scratched his head and showed a hint of embarrassment. It seemed that he had known Commander Su for so long and he always kept his word.
Su Rui nodded and said with a joking look in his eyes: "Okay, the matter of replacing new fighters has been decided. Since the number of new fighters is a priority, all troops cannot be replaced, so I decided to select three first.
The squadron has come to equip this new type of fighter aircraft. Young Master, please make a list and give it to me later."
"Okay..." As soon as Zheng Shaoyu said a good word, he saw the wolf-like looks of the pilots around him. He quickly closed his mouth and changed his mouth and said: "It seems inappropriate, this matter is left to the military.
It’s better to appoint someone, but how can the department of staff do it for you?”
Hearing Zheng Shaoyu's words, Su Rui couldn't help but look at Liang Zhi and couldn't help laughing. He pointed at Zheng Shaoyu and said: "Young Shaoyu, Shaoyu, I didn't expect you to be so cunning, just throw this offending job to me."
Me."
Liang Zhi and Li Yifeng, Lin Shiqian and others behind him all laughed. This Zheng Shaoyu always looked serious, but he didn't expect to be so naughty and kicked such an offending ball to the military seat.
After Su Rui finished laughing, he also smiled and said: "Well, since you don't want to do this offending job, then I'll do it."
After thinking for a while, Su Rui said: "Let's do this. The first batch of new fighters will be about ninety. Let's equip them first with the three squadrons that fought against the Japanese army today. It just so happens that there is one squadron for each flight group. Everyone
What do you think?"
Everyone looked at it and nodded in agreement. Although Su Rui did this simply to sit in rows and eat fruit, and each group had a share, this was also the most comforting and least offensive way.
.
"Well, let's listen to the military commander and let's change the uniforms of the brothers from the three squadrons who are going to fight today."
As soon as Zheng Shaoyu finished speaking, he heard a burst of cheers, and the pilots jumped with joy.
Looking at the cheerful young men, Su Rui felt sad in his heart. What lovely young men they are. They risked their lives and chased and fought with the Japanese invaders in the blue sky. They were willing to sacrifice their lives to surround this ancient nation.
Everything included, but their requirements are pitifully simple. Now they are so happy without even knowing the model name of the new fighter jet, which shows how much they trust themselves.
Thinking of this, Su Rui turned to Liang Zhi behind him and said: "Ziran, after today's battle, the Japanese army will not launch another large-scale air strike so soon in the next few days. You immediately order Li Chenzhe's armor
The regiment and Wang Dezi's heavy artillery brigade rushed to Enping immediately and must arrive tomorrow. At that time, they will obey the command of Commander Bai and launch an attack on the enemy in front of them on the morning of May 7th!"
Liang Zhi thought for a while and then asked: "Military seat, are you going to catch the Japanese troops off guard before they are fully assembled?"
"Yes!" Su Rui nodded, with a stern look on his face: "As the saying goes, strike first to gain advantage, strike later to suffer disaster. We must not wait for them to get ready before launching an attack against us. This time we will disrupt them.
Deployment, I want Guzhuang Qianlang to swallow the bitter wine he brewed!"
Just when Su Rui mentioned Furuso Chiro, the commander of the 21st Army was sitting blankly in his office, looking blankly at the casualty report of the 50th Flying Group submitted by Makino Yasuo.
"Fifty-two fighters were lost in one sortie?"
Makino Yasuo also nodded with a bitter look on his face, "Yes, Your Excellency Commander, our casualties this time are indeed very large, especially our new fighter planes. Now there are only five of them left. This is a humble job and only commands five."
Fang, please punish me."
After saying that, Makino Yasuo lowered his head, waiting for Furushuo Kaniro's furious curses.
But unexpectedly, the imagined storm did not come. Instead, there was a long sigh, followed by the gentle voice of Furuzou Mikiro: "Makino-kun, you don't have to blame yourself. I know your difficulties. Today's
I can’t blame you for the failure.”
"Uh...Nani?"
Makino Yasuo raised his head in surprise and looked at Furuzou Mikiro. The storm that he thought was about to happen did not come, but he comforted himself. This... what on earth is going on?
Looking at Makino Yasuo's surprised look, Furushu Qianlang secretly sighed. Although he wanted to scold Makino Yasuo in his heart, he also knew very well that this would not help the current war situation. Instead of scolding him, he would
It's better to appease the captain of the flying group so that he can concentrate on his work.
"No one will die in a war. Those brave warriors who died in battle deserved their death if they died fighting for His Majesty the Emperor. You don't have to be sad. After all, the losses of the Chinese people are not small. I can be sure that their air force will also be in the near future."
You can't afford to launch another large-scale air strike against us, so your actions today are not ineffective." After saying that, Furushuo Qianlang personally helped Makino Yasuo, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Work hard, you have lost the fighter planes.
I will ask the military to replenish the pilots and pilots for you as soon as possible!"
"Your Excellency Commander!"
Looking at the encouraging eyes of Furushu Mikiro, Makino Yasuo's eyes suddenly turned red. At this time, he felt that the figure of the commander in front of him was so tall and majestic. He also secretly made up his mind that he must not let down the commander.
