In later generations, it would be the location of Huaihai Road and Wanda Plaza.
Bustling city and business gathering.
But at that time, it was still quite desolate. There were no fences around the airport and it was semi-open.
Since 1935, Hankou Airport has been continuously expanding.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the expansion speed was accelerated. The area continued to spread to the north.
Until now, construction continues on the edge of the airport. There are many civilians.
There didn't seem to be any talk of land acquisition at that time. There were wastelands nearby, and they were expanded directly. It seemed that no one dared to cause trouble.
Because he can shoot.
What is wartime? It means taking bullets every minute.
Crimes such as robbery, arson, and insulting women may be punished with fixed-term imprisonment in normal times.
However, in wartime, everything is lost with one bullet.
Especially in the chaotic three towns of Wuhan, the streets and alleys are filled with various wartime announcements.
Words like severe punishment and capital punishment were used at every turn.
More than announcements, there are notices for various troops to gather together. There are retreating troops everywhere gathering the remaining defeated generals.
There are also many national troops stationed near Hankou Airport.
The number of one of the divisions was familiar to Zhang Yong. It was the 152nd Division that Madman Qiu once led.
But now, Madman Qiu has been transferred to the Fifth Army as the division commander.
The Fifth Army is a new unit just formed by the headquarters.
All Su weapons and equipment.
Equipped with tanks and heavy artillery.
The commander of the army is Du Yuming.
At this point, three of the five main forces of the national army that were often mentioned later had taken shape.
One is the Fifth Army.
One is the 74th Army.
The other one is the 18th Army.
To say that the name has the longest history, it has to be the Eighteenth Army.
The foundation of the Civil Engineering Department.
"Commissioner, here we are."
"good."
Zhang Yong got out of the car slowly.
This is the northeast corner of the airport. It is very wide.
There is a branched runway. The road is dirt, but it is packed very firmly.
The road surface is covered with a thin layer of sand, which is similar to the roads of later generations. Unless it rains heavily, it will generally not cause serious damage.
The "Foreign Corps" of the Kuomintang Air Force is here.
The Soviet Volunteer Air Force to aid China is completely different. The latter was sent by the country.
These foreign corps are recruited privately by the National Air Force. They work entirely with money. They are mainly recommended by various aircraft manufacturing companies.
If you buy my plane, I will "recommend" a few pilots to you.
Experienced and knowledgeable about airplanes.
This is how the original military-industrial complex came about.
The National Air Force feels that it has to retrain pilots, which is another huge expense.
Since others have recommendations, then hire them. Pick what’s available.
Gradually, the Foreign Legion was formed.
Mainly concentrated on those models with relatively small quantity and relatively high technical content.
For example, long-range bombers are indeed very technical and cannot be used by ordinary people.
Saw the bomber.
Not two. Five.
Ha ha!
I was immediately elated.
Five bombers!
The empty map is not highlighted!
You should tell me earlier that there are five long-range bombers at Hankou Airport. I definitely didn’t fool around last night!
I spent the night cuddling up to these long-range bombers last night…
wrong.
I took off in a bomber last night to look for something to look at in my childhood.
How many kilometers did you say the voyage was?
1900 kilometers!
It has a ton of bombs! It’s so heavy!
Even if I go out alone, I can blow up the little devil to the point of ecstasy!
If five aircraft are dispatched at the same time, five tons of ammunition can be dropped in one wave. No matter how effective the explosion is, there will be a big hole in the ground!
The key is the long range.
Starting from Hankou Airport, we can even bomb Peiping!
Or bomb Taiyuan Airport!
Jinling, Shanghai, and Hangzhou are all within the flight range.
There is also Songshan Airport in Taiwan. It is also covered.
Rubbing hands excitedly.
An absolute artifact!
Still five stars!
In the hands of others, they may not function to their fullest potential.
However, in the hands of Zhang Yong, Frostmourne in the hands of Alsace, anyone who touches it will die.
He can guarantee that with a ton of ammunition from the sky, all of it will fall on the Japanese invaders. Let every Japanese invader deeply feel the "enthusiasm" of the Chinese people! Then become a mature person!
I was so happy that I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my mouth.
The Crooked Dragon King...
Looking at five bombers.
This one is mine...
This one is mine too...
Everything is mine...
"stop!"
Was stopped.
He's a gringo with a hooked nose.
I can't tell what nationality he is. European and American people all look similar.
"This is our Commissioner."
Du Shanglong went up to negotiate. He spoke in Chinese.
Those foreign hired pilots have stayed in China for a long time and can understand Chinese.
You may not say it well, but you can hear it once you hear it.
"You can't go in."
"Why?"
"We have an agreement with your headquarters..."
"Our commissioner is the headquarters..."
"no!"
The hook-nosed gringo drew his pistol menacingly.
Du Shanglong and others immediately raised their guns.
"Bang!"
Gunshots were fired.
The gringo's pistol fell to the ground.
But he was hit in the shoulder. Zhang Yong fired the gun.
Mad, are you still spoiled?
Even the Japanese dare not be so arrogant in front of me!
"you……"
"Ahhh!"
The gringo screamed.
As soon as the gun fired, all the other foreign mercenaries rushed out.
There were quite a few people. There were more than thirty.
This Martin 139WC bomber has a standard crew configuration of four people.
It requires at least two people to fly. A pilot and a navigator. Otherwise, it won't even be able to move.
Or, after taking off, I can't find the landing place. I can't even return home.
"Don't move!"
"Don't move!"
Du Shanglong rushed forward with his special service company.
More than 150 people surrounded more than 30 gringos.
Those foreigners all carried weapons and looked fierce. But they gradually gave in and realized that the situation was not right.
There are many people on the other side.
And he actually shot.
They also knew those Garand semi-automatic rifles.
There is no doubt that if a conflict really breaks out, all thirty of them will die.
More importantly, they were stunned.
They were stunned to see Zhang Yong pick up a person with one hand.
That person was their accomplice. He was a big man and weighed at least 180 kilograms. He was actually picked up by the other party with one hand?
OMG!
Is this the legendary Chinese Kung Fu?
A bit scary.
If you get hit by a punch...
"puff!"
Zhang Yong let go.
The big gringo landed hard.
Scream.
"What are you going to do?" A foreigner came up slowly.
"We want to take over these bombers." Zhang Yong said in English, "Please cooperate."
"This is our plane..."
"You are wrong. This is a plane belonging to the Chinese Air Force. We paid for it."
"But we are the drivers..."
"You don't need to drive now. Please cooperate."
"Do you mean to fire us?"
"No. But, from now on, I will take over the plane."
"Who are you? You have no such power."
"Who I am cannot be accurately translated in English. But, let's put it this way, here, I have the final say. My words are orders."
"I want to call you. I want to complain to you. We have an agreement with you..."
"Whatever. I'll pay your salary. But we don't need you to fly the plane anymore. What's the problem with that?"
"you!"
There's a gringo on the phone.
Zhang Yong waved his hand and transferred another company of soldiers.
The entire Fourth Air Police Regiment is at Hankou Airport. There are 1,500 people. I'm afraid you have some foreign mercenaries?
What's more, you are not professional mercenaries. You are worse than me in fighting!
"superior!"
"yes!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
At this moment, it is useless for me, the King of Heaven, to come.
These five Martin 139WC bombers must be named Zhang! From now on, they belong to Zhang Yong!
Control the bomber.
Control accessories library.
Control the ammunition depot.
In front of the black hole of the gun, those foreigners couldn't stand up.
Especially after making the phone call, I found that it was useless. When I heard Zhang Yong's name on the other end of the phone, I persuaded them to cooperate.
have no choice……
I had no choice but to cooperate bitterly.
The leading gringo came to Zhang Yong's side.
"I'm Smith..."
"Hello."
Smith suddenly reached out to grab Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong grabbed the opponent's wrist with his backhand.
Use force.
"ah……"
Smith suddenly screamed.
It felt like my wrist was stuck with a soldering iron.
The pain is bone-piercing.
Trembling all over.
Damn it! How could it be so terrible?
How could the opponent's power be so terrifying? Like the Transformers in comics?
Zhang Yong let go of his hand coldly.
What a fool. He wants to hit the muzzle of the gun.
I have added so much strength, but I am worried that I can’t find anyone to practice with!
I'll pinch you lightly. If I keep exerting force, your bones will be crushed. You don't know good from evil. I'll deport them all when I turn around!
"Bring me the maintenance records." Zhang Yong said coldly.
silence.
No one answered.
Zhang Yong tilted his head.
What? Non-violence and non-cooperation? Follow the example of Third Brother?
Then I'm sorry.
"I want maintenance records. Bring them here."
Zhang Yong raised his tone.
Still no one answered.
"Have you decided not to cooperate?"
Zhang Yong's tone is gentle.
The gringos remained silent.
This is their way of confrontation. It is to bully the Chinese people for not knowing technology.
The Martin 139WC bomber is very difficult to operate and has many technical barriers. Chinese people have never been exposed to it before and it is impossible to understand it. "Crack!"
"Crack!"
Suddenly, Smith received two slaps.
The sound was clear and crisp. It hit the face, burning hot. Five finger prints immediately appeared.
Zhang Yong fought.
Made. Tell you not to cooperate.
Since you won't cooperate, why should I be polite to you?
"you……"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Before Smith could respond, he was slapped twice more.
He was immediately furious and wanted to resist. As a result, Zhang Yong caught him, threw him over his shoulder, and threw him heavily to the ground.
how?
Want to fight? Want to fight one on one?
Come on!
I'll knock you down with one hand!
I asked you to cooperate and your salary will still be paid. Are you still not happy?
In this case, from now on, there will be no salary at all. I will terminate the agreement with you directly!
Anyway, with the Japanese warships blockading the coast of China, the National Air Force has been unable to purchase additional fighter aircraft except for purchasing Hawker-3 fighter jets in bulk.
It doesn't matter if you offend someone.
He offended many people.
It’s hard to say whether the Hawker-3 that was urgently purchased can be delivered smoothly.
In the next four years, the main fighter aircraft will definitely be assisted by the Soviets.
"ah……"
Smith screamed.
Zhang Yong didn't even look at him.
His eyes swept across the country, staring at the other foreign legions.
Don't say anything. Just walk over.
Those foreign legions all moved out of the way and no longer dared to block the way.
This Chinese man in front of me is so perverted! Take action! Shoot! He dares to do anything! No one can control him yet!
It's crazy!
How could there be such a madman?
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"search!"
"yes!"
Lock down the entire scene.
Save all data.
Soon, the relevant maintenance records were sent to Zhang Yong.
Although he was not a professional, Zhang Yong soon discovered that only two of the five Martin 139WC bombers were intact.
The other three planes were unable to take off due to lack of various parts.
One of them was almost dismantled and only an empty shell remained.
"Maintenance personnel, come out."
Zhang Yong's eyes were cold and his expression was unkind.
He was indeed very unhappy.
Of the five bombers, three were actually lying down.
There are only two that can be dispatched.
Doggy.
Bai was happy.
He turned around and wanted to beat him again, but finally held back.
However, his appearance scared those foreigners.
Seeing how badly Smith was dealt with, they were all frightened.
This pervert in front of me is really fighting!
"It's none of our business, it's none of our business..." A foreigner wearing glasses called out anxiously.
"Come out. I'm being reasonable." Zhang Yong waved his hand, "Tell me what's going on."
"We are doing normal maintenance. There is absolutely nothing missing."
"What's going on with these three planes?"
"It's all because the spare parts are damaged and cannot be replaced."
"Where are the spare parts?"
"We have issued maintenance orders, purchase orders, and applied for purchases, but for more than two years, no parts have arrived!"
“Where are the old spare parts?”
"It's all in the warehouse. It's all there. Nothing is missing."
"You didn't take it and sell it?"
"These are exclusive spare parts. Who wants these things?"
"good."
Zhang Yong took out two U.S. dollars, both in 10-yuan denominations.
Reach out and slap the dollar to the other person's chest.
"You were very cooperative and told the truth. This is for you."
"Thanks……"
"Does the purchase order have a deposit? Find out."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The foreigner hurriedly took the U.S. dollars and then actively looked for purchase orders.
I found it after a while. A thick stack.
Zhang Yong took it and turned it over.
Yes, you know it is like this. There is no further explanation.
When the National Air Force purchases aircraft, it has always been responsible for killing them and not burying them. There is no beginning or end.
I am only responsible for buying aircraft, not spare parts.
That's what I said. Once you buy the plane, it will be over. No one will care about it anymore.
There are no spare parts or anything like that.
I won't buy these messy things.
It's not a big item.
The rebates are not much.
Hidden rules have long been formed.
It means tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall.
Three years of new life, three years of old life, and another three years of mending.
In fact, those BA-65 fighter jets are similar. It is impossible to buy spare parts.
"Keep talking."
"You purchased a total of nine aircraft at that time..."
"How many?"
Zhang Yong immediately raised his eyebrows.
What number did I hear? Nine? Nine? When I bought it, there were nine?
You wait.
You wait.
Let me take a moment.
There are actually nine?
"The total number you purchased was nine..."
"ah……"
Zhang Yong took a deep breath.
Damn!
Nine!
There are only two that can be dispatched now!
I want to hit someone again.
Finally, I held back.
I continued to ask and got some general information.
These Martin 139WC bombers are produced by the Martin Aircraft Manufacturing Company of the United States.
The number of the US Army Air Force is B-10, which is a medium and long-range bomber. The US Army Aviation has more than 100 aircraft.
A considerable amount is exported.
China, Argentina, the Philippines and other countries have purchased it.
China is the national air force.
The Philippines is the U.S.-Philippines coalition commanded by MacArthur.
As for Argentina…
It seems that it did not participate in World War II? Is it a neutral country?
"Where are the four more?"
"They all crashed."
"All crashed?"
"Yes! It was lost in the previous air battle."
"no……"
Zhang Yong was seriously disappointed.
I originally had nine million, but ended up with only two million left.
How does it feel?
I want to hit someone again.
"Where did it crash?"
"They're all on the Songhu battlefield!"
"Did you take action on the Songhu battlefield?"
"Yes, I have!"
"Well……"
Zhang Yong tried hard to remember.
Anyway, I didn’t see it myself.
On the Songhu battlefield, did the National Air Force have bombers dispatched?
Never heard of it.
However, there is no way to pursue it now. It is meaningless.
In short, the result is that only two of them are intact. The other three can be saved.
Don't think about anything else. It's completely gone.
well……
Fucking world.
Without spare parts, the three long-range bombers can only lie down...
etc!
etc!
The system seems to provide spare parts...
Check.
I found that there are indeed some spare parts that can be arranged for delivery.
However, there are many models of spare parts. All types are random. The only advantage is that they are all specifically labeled.
In other words, even the Chinese technical personnel can understand it.
The premise is that you are willing to work hard and spend time researching.
This involves professionalism.
Salaries for ground staff and technicians may need to be promoted…
You must have a high enough income so that others can be dedicated! Just instilling selfless dedication into others will not last long.
Shake his head.
Get rid of messy thoughts.
There is no time to deal with these long-term matters yet.
Go to the ammunition depot.
The ammunition was found to be intact.
Even the surface is covered with spider webs and the dust is as thick as a finger.
"Never used it?"
"Never used it."
"All right……"
Zhang Yong no longer wanted to ask any more questions.
It will only make yourself more depressed.
In short, this is the situation. We must accept the cruel reality.
In any case, there are at least the shells of five long-range bombers here.
The most critical thing is that the engine itself is good.
After all, the aircraft was purchased in 1936. It was impossible for the engine to break down within two years.
What's more, the frequency of these long-range bombers taking off is very low. Maybe less than once a month. The engines are simply brand new!
Compare the ammunition models and find that the system can provide them all.
Then it'll be fine.
The amount of ammunition provided by the system is sufficient.
It is okay to send out bombings every night. The prerequisite is that the bombers themselves can withstand it.
This involves a lot of spare parts replacement...
It's back again.
"Duchamp Dragon!"
"arrive!"
"Is there any news about the technical staff who were in Suzhou before?"
"Commissioner, they are also at Hankou Airport."
"real?"
Zhang Yong was immediately overjoyed.
Those people are also at Hankou Airport? Great.
There are ready-made technical personnel. If you don’t understand, you can learn.
