This time it took longer. It took about an hour before Sun Erwei and Davis returned to Wang Xuexin's office.
Wang Xuexin was not surprised.
Because the application of new tactics is no small matter, especially when used urgently in actual combat. If something goes wrong, it will cause a lot of casualties... More importantly, the casualties may also be precious pilots.
Therefore, the tactic proposed by Wang Xuexin requires at least a meeting with the pilots to discuss it.
Halsey did exactly this. When he received the telegram, he asked in confusion: "Did that battalion commander propose it again?"
When he received a positive answer, Halsey said: "Then we should treat it with caution and call the pilots immediately. I want to hear their thoughts!"
Halsey didn't just listen to the idea, he also let Major Logan take to the skies in a fighter jet to practice.
The results were quickly fed back to Wang Xuexin.
Davis looked at Wang Xuexin with an incredible expression and said: "Wang, your tactics have been confirmed again. Although this is difficult and there is even a risk of two planes colliding, it only takes a few trainings. I believe the pilots are very capable."
You’ll be able to master this tactic soon!”
This is indeed risky and difficult.
The risk lies in the intersection of the two planes, and the difficulty lies in the tacit cooperation of the pilots.
Because in order to achieve such a cross-scissor flight, the "Wildcat" whose tail is bitten by the "Zero" needs to be slightly faster, so that the other one can fall behind slightly.
But the speed cannot be too fast...Too fast means putting a distance between the other "Wildcat", and this "Wildcat" only has a chance to shoot down the enemy aircraft at the moment of crossing. If the distance is too far, it will almost miss it.
possible.
"So..." Wang Xuexin asked: "Bofors installed a tank chassis..."
"No problem!" Davis responded immediately: "Let's not mention that we owe you a big favor, Wang. Even if it weren't for this, we still need this equipment!"
The reason why Davis objected before was because the Eagle Eagle's current focus is on developing new fighter aircraft that can deal with "zero warfare", and adding a tank chassis to the Bofors is not that urgent.
But now...
Now that Yingjiang has found the weakness of "zero combat", in the foreseeable future, Yingjiang will reverse the unfavorable situation in sea and air combat and turn to counterattack. At that time, it will be time to need self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.
"In addition!" Sun Erwei said with a smile: "The good news is that the colonel has decided to ask for assistance for the Eighth Route Army!"
"What?" Wang Xuexin looked at Sun Erwei in confusion and asked, "What kind of assistance?"
Sun Erwei laughed loudly: "I will regularly deliver the military supplies and technology you need! However, some of them may be in the form of loans. I don't know what you think about it..."
"No objection, of course no objection!" Wang Xuexin agreed on the spot.
Just kidding, military supplies during wartime are life-saving things. Just like when you are about to die of thirst in the desert and someone asks you to sell you a bottle of water, if you can't pay, you have to wait until you get out of the desert to pay.
You must buy this, no matter how expensive it is.
"Sorry, Wang!" Sun Erwei moved a wooden chair and sat in front of him: "My mission this time is actually to inspect you. They want to know whether it makes sense to assist the Eighth Route Army!"
"Of course it makes sense!" Wang Xuexin said: "I can guarantee that it will be more meaningful than aiding the stubborn army!"
Wang Xuexin’s words are not bragging.
Yingjiang's military aid to China actually feels like a bet: there will definitely be a civil war after the Anti-Japanese War. If the Eighth Route Army is provided with loans... If the Eighth Route Army is defeated by the stubborn army, who can Yingjiang get the loan from?
Historically, Yingjiang bet on the stubborn army, but the facts proved that this was wrong, and it was a big mistake.
Sun Erwei stretched and sighed: "Wang, I thought this inspection might take a few months. But I didn't expect... the decision was made in just a week. Now, you should consider what kind of assistance you will receive.
!As for the stubborn soldiers, we will deal with them!"
Wang Xuexin knew what Sun Erwei meant by "being able to handle it".
According to the agreement on cooperation in the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army cannot receive overseas assistance alone... The Eighth Route Army is an establishment under the Recalcitrant Army. Of course, the Recalcitrant Army receives all the aid and then allocates part of it to the Eighth Route Army.
This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army's previous contacts with Yingjiang and Mao Xiong were conducted in the form of "transactions".
This is indeed an obstacle between the Eighth Route Army and Eagle Sauce.
But if Yingjiang is willing to come forward to solve the problem... then it's actually just a matter of one sentence.
Wang Xuexin immediately called Li Yunlong to tell Li Yunlong the good news.
Li Yunlong was currently drinking sweet potato porridge. While drinking, he asked Wang Xuexin the same question: "Aid? What kind of aid?"
No wonder Li Yunlong would ask this. Yingjiang has always had close contacts with the stubborn army, and any assistance should be provided to the stubborn army. Now that Wang Xuexin said it, people couldn't believe it.
"That's right... Yingjiang will provide us with supplies!" Wang Xuexin replied.
"What supplies? How much?" Li Yunlong asked again.
"We will provide any materials!" Wang Xuexin said: "In the form of a loan, the first batch is estimated to be worth 10 million US dollars..."
With a "clang" sound, Wang Xuexin heard the sound of the porcelain bowl breaking.
Then I heard Li Yunlong ask in a stuttering voice: "You, you, you... what did you say? Ten... ten million, or US dollars? We can choose whatever we want?"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin replied: "So we need to make a list!"
"Get rich, get rich!" Li Yunlong smiled from ear to ear in an instant: "Damn, get rich now..."
Zhao Gang was writing work reflections on the other side. When he heard Li Yunlong's shout, he looked up and asked: "Old Li, did you get another battalion's equipment, or did you get food again?"
Li Yunlong hung up the phone and replied triumphantly: "Old Zhao, aren't you looking at people through the cracks in the door and looking down on them? Are you kidding, now we, Old Li, still care about that food? Let alone food, a battalion's equipment
We, Li Yunlong, don’t like it either!”
"Then what is it this time?" Li Yunlong's words successfully aroused Zhao Gang's interest.
Zhao Gang knew that although Li Yunlong liked to brag, once he got carried away and boasted nonsense, he would really have some confidence.
"Let me tell you!" Li Yunlong replied: "That guy from Xiaodongbei is really not simple. He coaxed the foreign devils into submission. They are planning to help us!"
"Assistance?" Zhao Gang was surprised: "What assistance? Assistance like giving to stubborn troops?"
"If not, what else is there?" Li Yunlong said mysteriously: "How much do you think this aid will be?"
"How many?"
Li Yunlong pointed out a finger: "Ten million is still US dollars!"
