Rise from the sword

Chapter 497 Except for supplies, labor and capital are lacking in everything.

Zhao Jiayu.

The ten-wheel truck stopped at a transfer station to refuel and refuel. Huang Quan and others planned to get out of the car and take a look after getting permission. When they looked around, their expressions were all shocked.

"This is Zhao Jiayu's base?"

The car was parked halfway up a mountain, with a panoramic view of a corner of Zhao Jiayu's base.

in view.

There are endless layers of mountain peaks, and you can't see the end at a glance. Although they are not towering and steep peaks, they are just some small hills with a few hundred meters and the slope is relatively gentle, but they still bring people an indescribable shock.

The thought of going into such a mountainous area makes anyone's scalp tingle.

just.

Among the undulating and continuous hills, roads meander and circle, covering valleys and mountains. The valleys formed by the peaks are even built with four-lane roads, and houses of all sizes Located on both sides of the road.

Every valley here is very wide, and the road is in the middle. Apart from the houses, you can also see large, square, neatly irrigated fields, and there are also man-made canals mixed in between.

Even in winter, many working people can be seen in the fields.

With continuous mountain peaks, winding roads and neat fields, there is a faint rural atmosphere of a different kind of mountain village.

It's hard to imagine that this is the northwest of Shanxi, the Japanese-occupied area, and the land ravaged by war.

"These valleys must have been artificially widened not long ago."

Huang Quan couldn't help asking.

How could there be so many wide valleys in the mountainous area of ​​Northwest Shanxi? Looking at the steep walls between the valleys, it is obvious that they have been artificially widened and expanded recently.The terraced fields on the hillside are also planned and merged, which is more suitable for large-scale planting.

"Correct."

The independent regiment soldier responsible for driving said with a smile:

"This is the fifth farm in Zhao Jiayu's base area, planned and constructed by the political commissar."

Relying on enough redundant manpower and inexhaustible materials, during the later expansion and construction, Zhao Gang deliberately widened the valley, and some small hills were directly dug up and flattened, and regular farmland was reclaimed to increase Planting efficiency leaves room for future mechanized farming.

"Unbelievable."

Huang Quan muttered to himself.

Although there is a huge gap between the mountainous farmland in front of us and the French Great Plains, it is an extremely large project to construct such regular farmland and build so many roads in complex mountainous areas.

It will consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

This is completely different from what was advertised!

"Your political commissar planned?"

Feng Nan was also out of shock, with a curious tone.

"Correct."

The soldier's tone is proud:

"This is planned and constructed by our Political Commissar Zhao."

Everyone calmed down, returned to the truck, started the engine, and the convoy continued to drive to the Zhaojiayu regiment headquarters.

······
"Head, the fifteen pilots from the headquarters, and three teachers have arrived."

After receiving the report from the guards, Li Yunlong immediately got up and walked to the door.

At this time, Huang Quan and others just got off the car in the open space outside Zhaojiayu's regiment headquarters. They looked around curiously. As the regiment headquarters is located, this place has also recently undergone repairs, and all of them have been replaced with concrete buildings.

Although everything is based on practicality and safety, and almost no consideration is given to aesthetics, it seems to have a rough aesthetic.

"Captain."

Seeing Li Yunlong, Huang Quan, who was already wearing the Eighth Route Army uniform, immediately saluted:

"Pilot Huang Quan came to report."

The other 14 people also stood at attention and saluted. This scene made Feng Nan's people who got out of the car a little bit at a loss.

"Hey hey..."

It's a group of good seedlings... Leader Li glanced at the 15 people in front of him. He was very satisfied with those [-] pairs of firm and sharp eyes, and couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

"very good."

After returning a military salute, Li Yunlong looked at the time and got straight to the point:
"Go to the canteen of the regiment headquarters to have a meal first. After 10 minutes, we will gather here, and then we will go to Heyuan County Airport together. Where is the plane prepared for you?"

"Yes, Captain."

The voices of Huang Quan and other 15 people increased significantly by five points.

They are very satisfied with this arrangement, and they are also very satisfied with the temper of their head.

I just like this kind of never long-winded and nonsense.

Although I really wanted to see the fighter plane I was thinking about right now, but I took a four-hour car ride from the brigade headquarters, and I didn't eat much in the morning, so I was really hungry.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong also arranged for three teachers to eat in the canteen of the regiment headquarters, and notified a special person to be in charge of arranging the work of these three people. Under Zhao Gang's arrangement, this set of procedures was already very familiar.

However, contrary to Li Yunlong's expectations, only two teachers went to the canteen of the regiment headquarters, leaving a very young girl to stay.

"Captain Li."

Feng Nan also saluted a not-so-standard military salute:
"I prepared my own lunch and ate it."

"Can I meet the Political Commissar Zhao of your regiment?"

With that said, Feng Nan handed over her diploma and personal information signed by her superior.

Li Yunlong originally wanted to refuse.

Now Lao Zhao is very busy, he rarely sees each other, let alone others.

But seeing that Feng Nan is a college student in the normal department, half of the literacy textbook compiled by Zhao Gang was exposed in his pocket, and he had a pair of intellectual shining eyes. He was familiar with this look and saw it often recently. Therefore, Li Datuan changed his mind:

"it is good."

A guard company soldier was called to inform Zhao Gang that Li Yunlong took Feng Nan into the regiment headquarters.

Taking education as the topic, he successfully found out Feng Nan's information, age, family background, dreams, and whether he has a partner. During this period, Feng Nan's conversation and knowledge made Li Datuan extremely satisfied.

That look, as if seeing the future daughter-in-law.

While waiting, Li Yunlong also found a draft of Zhao Gang that he had read and handed it to Feng Nan.

This is Zhao Gang's vision for the future of education. There are also some things that I heard from Brother Chen. About education, it is fragmentary and strange, but it feels very meaningful after careful consideration.

Taking the notebook in amazement, Feng Nan quickly read it with fascination, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Thirteen minutes later, the guards walked in and whispered to Li Yunlong:
"The political commissar said there is no time, let you..."

The guard didn't continue talking, but Li Yunlong could guess what Lao Zhao said behind him, so he must have kept him cool.

With a smile, Li Yunlong pulled the guard out of the reception room and whispered:

"You tell the political commissar that my gun went off during shooting practice..."

"what?"

The guard froze for a moment.

"If you tell you to go, you can go."

The head of the regiment glared, and the guards and even the soldiers didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurried to convey the news.

Seven minutes later, Li Yunlong was waiting at the door of the reception room of the regiment headquarters. Feng Nan was so engrossed in the room that he completely forgot about the rest. Fifteen pilots and ground crew outside the regiment headquarters were assembling in line.

Following the sound of three jumps and a creak, Zhao Gang's anxious voice came:
"Old Li?"

"Old Li?"

"Commissioner Zhao, here."

This time Li Yunlong deliberately called Commissar Zhao
"You're fine..."

The voice changed when Zhao Gang saw Li Yunlong leaning against the door and eating melon seeds with his legs slanted, and his anxiety disappeared.
"You fucking..."

When he heard Li Yunlong's political commissar Zhao, Feng Nan put down the notes in his hand and straightened his clothes while standing up, and when he heard Zhao Gang's "fuck you", he almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Squint into a crescent.

"There is a teacher comrade from the headquarters here. Please receive me. I will take the pilot to see the plane."

Leaving a word, Li Yunlong jumped into the truck with the assembled pilots and ground crew and drove to Heyuan County.

"This dog..."

Zhao Gang, who was so angry that his beard was blown and his eyes were blown, walked in cursing, ready to have a sip of tea, but before he finished swearing, he saw Feng Nan in the room, and the trash talk was suppressed on the spot.

"Hello, Political Commissar Zhao, my name is Feng Nan."

Zhao Gang's face turned red.

Social death!
He suddenly thought of a sentence Boss Chen said.

······
Li Yunlong is a fine individual who doesn't hesitate to mess around, but he is also a man of temperament who wields a ghost knife to slash devils.

Although I have grown a lot in the past few years, read more books, experienced more things, and my personality has settled down a bit, especially the tens of thousands of troops under my command and the millions of people in the base areas have begun to know restraint, but my temperament still.

Huang Quan, this person was able to join the Foreign Legion alone in order to learn flying skills. Naturally, he was neat and straightforward, and he was able to lead a team alone. His personality was not small.

Both of them have a neat personality, and they are particular about encountering devils. As long as the situation permits, they will attack with a knife.

The two of them talked about their temperament in three or five sentences.

They looked at each other right.

Driven by the two, the atmosphere in the car was full, and everyone quickly recognized the leader.

Incidentally, the First Flying Brigade of the Independent Regiment was also established.

The road from Zhaojiayu to Heyuan County is not short. Fortunately, the four-lane road is spacious and flat, and the trucks are fast. The convoy arrived at Heyuan County Airport in two hours.

"This is Heyuan County Airport."

Li Yunlong pointed to the airport under construction in the distance and said:
"From now on, this will be the base of the Independent Regiment's Flying Brigade."

"This····"

Staring wide-eyed at the huge airport in front of him, Huang Quan was speechless for a while.

Could it be...
Although we only met for two hours, he already approved of the regiment leader, but he disagreed with the organization of the flight squadron, and felt that a flight squadron was the most suitable.

Are you kidding me, seven pilots, eight ground flight squadrons?

To form a flying brigade, at least 24 aircraft are required.

Moreover, a flight brigade must not only have enough planes, but also have enough manpower and enough supplies to maintain the brigade's fighter jets for combat consumption. Airplanes are a big fuel guzzler.

The sum of a brigade is not a small number.

Even if there is a government supported by the Americans, the aviation team is still searching, because aviation fuel has to be transported by the hump route, which is very precious.

but.

All the way here, I saw the situation in Zhaojiayu's base area, ten-wheel trucks, half-track transport vehicles, dozens of tanks, and a large number of newly-built concrete buildings...

Huang Quan already felt in his heart that the independent regiment might really have about twenty planes, and they had relatively sufficient flight fuel.

Then, seeing the airport in front of him, and the one hundred hangars, the huge concrete warehouse near the airport, he felt in his heart that maybe this independent regiment might really be able to form a flying brigade.

The airport in front of me, in terms of size, not to mention a flight brigade, even a flight regiment/wing wing is enough, and a little bit of expansion will do.

"Five concrete airstrips with anti-skid patterns, and nearly a hundred enclosed arched reinforced concrete hangars."

The ground crew behind was also surprised by the luxurious infrastructure of Heyuan County Airport.

This configuration can only be seen at those large rear airports abroad.

Cement runways can reduce aircraft loss, increase aircraft life, and reduce ground handling workload, but construction is difficult, expensive, and maintenance is troublesome. Besides, it is generally unnecessary.Anyway, except for large and medium bombers, most propeller planes do not have great requirements on the runway. The lighter ones don't even need to be paved, and they can take off directly on a piece of lawn.

The arched reinforced concrete hangar also has many advantages. It is defensive. It can protect the aircraft from the sun and rain, allow the ground crew to maintain it in bad weather, and it is easy to maintain when it is overhead.

But unless it is a long-term stable rear airport, other front-line airports, field airports, etc., most of the fighters are placed in the open air. In case of bad weather, at most a rain cloth should be covered to cover them.

It's outrageous to see such an airport here.

This is the front line, and Taiyuan, occupied by the Devil's First Army, is only about [-] kilometers away in a straight line.

But everyone quickly suppressed the surprise in their hearts, because they had something more to look forward to.

Fighter.

"Could it be that there are a hundred fighters here?"

Huang Quan finally couldn't help asking.

On the way here by car, he never talked about the topic of the plane. He felt that it was not suitable for him, and Li Yunlong didn't take the initiative to talk about it.

"of course."

Li Yunlong smiled:
"Heyuan County Airport has a total of [-] fighter planes, including [-] new attack planes, [-] new fighter jets, [-] logistics vehicles (ten-wheel trucks), and [-] tractors."

"Is there enough fuel? Is there a lot of ammunition?"

Although it felt impolite and inappropriate, Huang Quan subconsciously asked.

A hundred planes!
This is a hundred!

And there are [-] logistics vehicles.

This configuration is a proper full-staffed aviation regiment/wing formation. If the supplies are still sufficient, then...
Is this the taste of happiness?
"The airport is equipped with seven warehouses."

Li Yunlong said:
"Five of the fuel depots and one ammunition depot store a total of 150 tons of grade [-] aviation gasoline, [-] tons of cannon ammunition and aviation explosives, and one stores spare parts."

"By the way, each aircraft has six sets of spare parts, and each set has a brand new spare engine."

The airport is close to the industrial zone of Heyuan County, and there is a battalion stationed nearby. Before the construction of the airport started, the warehouse had already been built. It was originally used to store ammunition and food. In the past few days, the construction team has been rushing to work day and night, and the warehouse has been completed. The reconstruction, and installed some supplies.

There is also a unloading area near the public industrial zone of Heyuan County.

Gollum...
The seven pilots and eight ground crew members all stared wide-eyed, and swallowed their throats in unison.

[-] tons of high-grade aviation gasoline and [-] tons of ammunition are enough to last a hundred planes for more than half a year.

and.

Each plane has six brand new engines!
There are six spares for any part!

This is too rich!
"How long will it take for a new type of fighter to form combat effectiveness?"

Li Yunlong asked.

Forming combat effectiveness refers to being able to go to the battlefield. The battle is imminent, and he needs the aviation brigade to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

"Looking at the model of the aircraft, the more advanced the technology, the longer it will take. Mastering an aircraft is not easy."

Huang Quan wiped the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath and replied:
"If there is a completed flight manual, maintenance manual, plus sufficient training, it will take between ten and 30 days. If there are technical personnel sent by the manufacturer, then I can compress it to five to fifteen days."

Although he has rich experience, the pilots he brought are not bad at all, and the logistics personnel are all elites, but mastering the performance of a brand new aircraft is a huge project.

Judging from the materials of the independent regiment, the aircraft obtained must be very advanced in technology.

Otherwise, less than 150 grade gasoline will be used.

For this high-tech fighter, the flight manual starts at [-] pages, and the maintenance manual starts at [-] pages.

Fortunately, sufficient fuel gave Huang Quan the confidence to shorten the time.

"it is good."

"The manufacturer's technicians are camping over there, and I'll take you to meet them later."

"The fuel here is free to use, and the ammunition can also be shot directly with live ammunition. There is a shooting range five kilometers to the left of the airport. I only have one request, to form combat power as quickly as possible."

Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes."

Huang Quan nodded.

"Remember one thing."

Li Yunlong raised his tone:

"At any time, in any situation, save your own life first, such as engine failure on the way back, fire or something, don't hesitate to parachute directly, we have plenty of planes."

Although Brother Chen's plane is strong and has a high success rate of forced landing, it is not as high as the success rate of abandoning the plane and skydiving.

"Captain."

At this point, Huang Quan couldn't help reminding:

"One hundred aircraft is a lot, but the loss of aircraft is very large, and it cannot be wasted like this."

Abandon the plane and skydive, the plane is gone, there are enough parts here, as long as the plane is driven back, it can be repaired.

"Hahaha····"

Li Yunlong smiled triumphantly:
"Except for materials, there is a shortage of labor and capital here."

"We replenished at least 50 aircraft in March, and replenished at least [-] new aircraft in April, each with six spare parts. The total inventory of aviation gasoline is no less than [-] tons."

"Cough cough cough..."

Huang Quan was choked directly.

The rest were not much better off.

"I'll send a batch of young lads in a few days."

Li Yunlong struck while the iron was hot:
"You and Brother Chen sent technicians to teach them logistics and maintenance. These youngsters are poor in knowledge, so please teach them more. If there are good seedlings in them, they can also be trained as pilots. There are five two-seat training models for attack aircraft and fighter jets. "

"Oh, brother Chen is the manufacturer of this plane."

"In short, remember one sentence."

"Except for materials, there is a shortage of labor and capital here"

　Shot of water.

　　The next chapter is the main plot, about Ping'an County, but I only wrote a thousand words, see you tomorrow.

　　I really can't take it anymore.
