Rise from the sword

Chapter 496 There is not enough supplies here, so we must economize.

February [-]st.

Brigade.

At dawn, Huang Quan and other [-] pilots and ground crew, Feng Nan and other three teachers set off for the independent group. Originally, the two teams planned to go yesterday, but yesterday, it was suddenly snowed and they were unable to travel. Do not stay at the brigade headquarters for an extra day.

But it's a good thing to wait a day.

The two teams went to the brigade headquarters, and they saw two ten-wheel trucks parked at the gate of the brigade from a long distance away. Staff Officer Luo was directing some soldiers to carry bags of food from the trucks.

"Wait another 10 minutes, and you can take these two trucks to the independent regiment."

Seeing the person coming, Staff Officer Luo said with a smile.

In order to enhance the efficiency of material transportation, the road from Zhaojiayu to the General Logistics Department began to be built a long time ago, but because of the long distance and the difficulty of building in the mountainous area, it took half a year to complete the construction. The troops also eliminated all the bandits in the surrounding area by the way .

After the completion, the branch line connecting the brigade headquarters was opened by the way. Just today, this branch line just opened to traffic, and ten-wheel heavy-duty trucks can pass through it.

After Li Yunlong knew that the highway was open to traffic, he couldn't wait to send two ten-wheeled trucks to pick up the people. By the way, he also sent more than ten tons of food and supplies to the brigade headquarters, as well as some fuel.

"This truck is..."

Looking at the two ten-wheel trucks in front of him, the well-informed Huang Quan was taken aback.

What kind of truck is this?
The car in front of me is very similar to the American Kajimsi ten-wheeled truck, but if you look closely, you can find obvious differences.

For example, the position of the fuel tank, the tire pattern, the shape of the front, the exhaust pipe, etc. In general, the materials of this car are more substantial, and the panels of the cabin are all made of steel, so the power is stronger just by feeling.

There is also a heavy machine gun on the roof of the cab.

"Get in the car."

The security company of the brigade headquartered moved very quickly, and more than a dozen tons of supplies were quickly unloaded. Staff Officer Luo greeted everyone to get on the car.

The ten-wheel truck compartment is very long, and it is not a problem for one to carry 18 people. However, there are two trucks in front of us. All the two teams got on a ten-wheel truck. With the roar of the engine, the two trucks headed towards Zhao Jiayu. drive away.

Although there is no escort team, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

This road can be said to be the lifeline of the base area. Thousands of tons of food come and go every day, as well as military supplies.

"This car has a lot of power."

Sitting on the seat of the carriage, a mechanic who came with Huang Quan was amazed.

Being able to work as an aircraft mechanic naturally has real materials, and within half an hour of the ride, he saw that the ten-wheeled truck was powerful.

Although it is empty at this time, a dozen people plus salutes are only a little over a ton, but the empty weight of this car is at least four tons. When climbing up those road ramps, the sound of the engine does not change. Although it doesn't emit much black smoke, it is obvious that the power is not generally strong.

"Correct."

Another mechanic also nodded:

"Looking at the climb, the engine torque is very strong, it should be a diesel engine, but I don't think the engine vibration is too big..."

Having said that, the mechanic was a little surprised.

Only the diesel engine has such a large torque, and it is not difficult to climb the slope at all. However, the diesel engine is expensive, difficult to manufacture, and the vibration is very large, but he hardly feels excessive vibration.

"Diesel technology should be very advanced."

Someone answered:

"I don't know which country it is produced in. I have a chance to take it apart and have a look."

Seeing the topic slipped away, Huang Quan said:

"Since we joined this team and chose to fight devils here, we must be mentally prepared."

"Everyone knows very well that our country is poor and lacks supplies. The state government is like this. This army may be even more serious, especially the frontline troops. Don't eat coarse grains for a few days, and you can't stand it after a few meals."

"Captain, don't worry, we have already prepared for this."

Everyone answered in unison.

This team was pulled up by Huang Quan alone. With him as the leader, everyone admires him. After all, this guy is really good. His flying skills are no less than foreign aces. Very neat.

"Isn't it just a bit of hardship? It's not like I haven't had it abroad."

Someone said with a smile.

As an overseas Chinese, their family background is not very rich, and everyone has suffered a lot abroad.

"but."

At this point a pilot:

"I saw that the supplies transported by the two trucks before contained a lot of canned meat and five barrels of gasoline. It doesn't look like there is a lack of supplies."

"And you see, it doesn't look like a lack of food."

He pointed outside.

Everyone looked outside and saw a grain transportation team passing by in the distance. Hundreds of carts pulled by mules and horses were advancing along the road. Each cart was filled with sacks of grain. Roughly estimated, this A convoy has more than 100 tons.

The faces of the escorting coachman and Zhan Zhan were also greasy, without a trace of sallowness, and they were also covered in big cotton jackets, which looked very warm.

"That's true."

The crowd was speechless for a while.

"It seems that the situation here is much better than we expected."

Huang Quan touched his chin.

Before they studied and trained at the Anti-Japanese University for more than a month, of course, they did an inspection by the way to avoid spies. At that time, they ate and drank well every day, and almost every meal had meat. He thought it was special treatment and asked for it to be lowered many times, but they kept Said it was normal.

"It's a good thing."

"Food and other daily necessities are abundant, we can free our hands and feet to fight the devils, and only when we are full can we work hard."

One pilot said:

"I just hope that the bullets and flight fuel will be slightly more, and the plane will not be too far behind."

"At that time, everyone should save a little."

Huang Quan spoke again:

"Except when fighting against the enemy, fly stably at ordinary times, try to save a little fuel and reduce the consumption of spare parts. Aviation gasoline and aviation ammunition are not food cotton."

The remaining six pilots nodded in unison.

Of course they know this.

Aviation gasoline must be of high grade, otherwise it will affect the power and life of the engine, but it is expensive and can only be imported, and aircraft parts can only be imported from abroad. Now that the country is blocked, it is difficult to import.

The army is not easy either.

"I hope there are not too few planes."

Suddenly, a pilot's words made the atmosphere in the car stagnate.

They can't understand the national conditions of their own country.

Even countries with U.S. aid have a shortage of planes. The Americans are rich and have plenty of planes, but everything in the country has to be transported by the hump route, which is really difficult, let alone this team.

Even if it is not fighting, the aircraft will suffer a lot of wear and tear.

"Look at the technical decision."

Huang Quan finally came down to decide:
"Then take turns flying."

Everyone nodded silently.

That's the only way.

······
The three teachers in the front truck and a brigade staff officer.

"This is···"

Feng Nan, who was wearing a scarf, flipped through a book and asked:

"Who wrote it?"

The printing of this book is very neat, it should be printed industrially, but she didn't find the name of the person at the end.

The staff officer took a look and found that the literacy textbooks from the independent regiment in the college student's hand, basic literacy, basic arithmetic and common sense knowledge, were written by Political Commissar Zhao himself.

"Zhao Gang from the Independent Group, written by Political Commissar Zhao."

The staff officer replied.

"I want to meet this political commissar Zhao."

Feng Nan's eyes sparkled.

He aspires to become a teacher and make a contribution to the world, and this literacy textbook allows him to see a colleague who has in-depth research in the field of education.

A person with a common ideal.

"At that time, I will ask Captain Li to introduce you."

The staff officer nodded.

······
Simultaneously.

Heyuan County.

The airport on the industrial side.

Except for Zhao Gang, who is busy with work, almost all the senior leaders of the independent regiment came here.

At this time, more than 1 people in the construction brigade were stepping up the construction of the arched reinforced concrete hangar. As for the [-] aircraft, [-] were put into the hangar, and the rest were covered with canvas to hide.

The plane is currently kept in absolute secrecy, surrounded by a battalion of guards.

As for the [-]th Regiment, several counties newly occupied by the Jinsui Army were attacked by devils last month, and they went to support them. When they left, they reluctantly handed over the position to the Independent Regiment, taking half of Yan Laoxi's lifeblood with them.

Part of the core personnel of the Taiyuan Arsenal.

There is no way, the devils are attacking ferociously, and they dare not ask the Eighth Route Army to help, otherwise who will own the territory if it is taken?Yan Laoxi could only be a silent seller.

"This plane is good."

At this time, Li Yunlong was in a closed hangar, looking at a huge attack aircraft, and touching the five-bladed propeller, his tone was excited.

"It can carry [-] tons and fly [-] kilometers away to fight for [-] hours."

"interesting!"

Leader Li's face was also full of excitement.

One trip is [-] tons of ammunition.

It can be [-] kilometers away from the airport, cruise and stay in the air for [-] hours, and the soldiers on the ground are on call. With this thing, lightly armed troops can also have heavy fire support in long-range operations in the future.

And, a thousand kilograms in the largest bomb.

Even carrying [-] tons of bombs, it can support a battlefield as far as [-] kilometers away.

"This thing also consumes a lot of fuel, and the fuel tank inside can hold nearly two tons of fuel, but we are not short of fuel."

Zhang Dabiao chuckled.

In February, the Independence Regiment had 80 tons of fuel, which could never be used up. Last month, in order to consume 40 tons of fuel, part of it was even used as firewood by the cooking team.

"Unfortunately, there are only seven pilots, and only eight ground crews."

Ding Wei clicked his tongue, it was a pity.

There are only seven pilots in a hundred planes, which is a big problem.

As for the ground crew, although there are only eight, but there are many parts, and there are masters who are skilled, the independent regiment can gradually train the ground crew by itself. This problem is not very serious.

But being a pilot isn't that easy.

At least half a year will do.

As for the foreign group, they have just arrived in the United States.

"It's simple."

Li Yunlong waved his hand:

"During combat, we equip each pilot with five or ten planes. We change planes without changing personnel. We fly to the battlefield and drop bombs on the devils before flying back, and then change planes to continue."

"Anyway, we have so much ammunition that we can't run out of it."

"That's a good idea."

Ding Wei thought it was great.

　I have to ask for a day off this week, the date is undecided, and I have to go to the civil court...
　　Gan!
