Rise from the sword

Chapter 526 Airlift, Shield, and Spear!
"Transportation plane?"

Kong Jie was taken aback for a moment.

"Yes, transport plane."

Li Yunlong repeated.

Then he handed Kong Jie a document. The upper part of the cover was a three-view sketch of an aircraft with a simple pen, with twin engines and a single wing, a large cargo door at the rear, and the two wings with the main landing gear housed at the bottom of the belly.From the outside, it looks like a shrunken C130.

The lower part is row-by-row data.

"It is a twin-engine transport aircraft that can be fully loaded with five tons of materials, fly to 680 kilometers away to land without turning around, and can fly back."

Li Yunlong briefly introduced the data of the aircraft.

"Five tons, 680 kilometers without transfer!"

The data suddenly made Kong Jie's eyes widen.

At present, the southernmost airport of the Independence Regiment is Jin|Cheng Airport, which is only 550 to [-] kilometers away from the south of Henan, where he plans to establish a new base, and the northwestern Jiangxi area.

This new type of transport aircraft can cover almost the whole line.

And after several months of construction, Jin|Cheng Airport currently has five large runways, more than 200 closed hangars, and 350 large warehouses, which can park more than 10,000 aircraft and [-]+ tons of various materials.

The road and light rail from Heyuan County to Jin|City have also been built, with a strong transportation capacity, and even the standard railway has begun to lay the foundation.

Don't worry about supplies at all.

As for the number of transport aircraft, there is no need to worry about this at all. Since the beginning of the tank business, the independent regiment has never worried about the lack of equipment, but often worry about too much equipment.

The only problem is the pilot.

There are really not many pilots in the base area, and the combat support missions are stretched, let alone air transport to the new base area.

But next week, the pilots trained in the United States will come back. Ninety pilots and more than 200 logistics personnel are adequate.

With a full load of 250 kilometers per hour, a round trip with a distance of 680 kilometers, plus the time to unload and take off again, it only takes six and a half hours. That is to say, as long as the weather is suitable, as many pilots can transport as many five tons.

Based on the calculation of fifty pilots, ten battalions are enough for this logistical supply.

"Well, the first thing I did in the past was build the airport."

After reading the information on the transport plane in his hand, Kong Jie slapped the table.

He couldn't wait.

With sufficient supplies, isn't it easy to establish a base?
First occupy a small site, then organize manpower to build the airport, wait for the plane to transport weapons, ammunition and food, repel the devil's attack during the period, and then use food and weapons to recruit troops and expand the base.

Director Kong Da even thought about the plot.

Although he has only one battalion, the combat strength is equivalent to two full-scale brigades of the Devil's Type A divisions, but this transport plane can land on an unpaved runway, and it is still very simple to defend an airport in the mountains.

"However, there are many ghost airports in the middle, especially Wuhan|Wuhan, where there are many planes, our transport plane flies there..."

Kong Jie then frowned.

From Jin|cheng to the south of Henan, there are hundreds of kilometers in between, and many of them are the sites of devils. The devils have built many airports, and they are also close to Wuhan. Although the devils that bombed Chongqing in the past few years were mainly transported from Shanxi city, but some of them took off from airports around Wuhan.

If the transport plane flies over, it will inevitably be intercepted by the Devil's plane.

Of course, now Yun|cheng has returned to the army, and there is even a main regiment that changed clothes there.

"That's not a problem."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:

"When you get there, the devil's plane is no longer a threat."

Seeing Li Yunlong's expression, Kong Jie immediately understood that this bastard had a plan to deal with the devil's plane. Since Li Yunlong didn't elaborate, Kong Jie didn't continue to ask.

At this moment, the metal communicator in Li Yunlong's arms rang again.

"Come on, let's go and see the new plane together."

Li Yunlong immediately invited Kong Jie.

"it is good."

The two then went to the unloading area of ​​Heyuan County together.

at this time.

General Logistics Department.

Zhang Wanhe's office.

"Thank you."

Zhang Wanhe breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the food coupons from the monk.

All other base areas are engaged in large-scale construction, and he is no exception here. Road construction, land reclamation, construction of water conservancy facilities such as canals, and construction of factories require a lot of manpower. The manpower of the army alone is not enough, and the recruitment of people must be paid for work. .

There's nothing like food stamps for paychecks.

With the expansion of the base of the independent regiment, food coupons can now be fully redeemed in many counties, and they are all high-quality packaged fine grains, which are very popular in the market, and the food coupons are becoming stronger and stronger.

With this batch of food stamps, he can safely and boldly expand the scale of construction.

"Hey hey..."

The monk touched his head, accepted the compliment unceremoniously, and then told about his experience on the road and the few bandits he killed.

"bandit?"

After Zhang Wanhe heard it, his light flashed immediately.

He also discovered this problem recently, and many bandits are resurgent.

A pot of rat droppings ruins a pot of soup.

Now the bases are replicating Zhao Jiayu’s experience, construction is in full swing, land reclamation, road construction, reservoir and canal construction, common people engage in family farming, collective farms in vast areas.

The lives of the common people are getting better day by day, and the finances of the base areas are getting better day by day.

At this time, any banditry in any place will definitely have a huge impact. Without security, who would dare to let go of production and construction?
"I will report it to my superiors."

Zhang Wanhe was full of murderous intent.

"Good."

The monk nodded in satisfaction.

Minister Zhang's influence today is much greater than before. If he makes a move, the bandits in the base area and even the surrounding area will be in bad luck.

······
the same day.

afternoon.

Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka was sitting leisurely at the table, playing Go alone, and when he saw Yamamoto coming in, he continued playing without looking up, and just said hello.

"Yamamoto-kun."

"General, the statistics are out."

Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head and saluted, and then began to report:
"From the tenth of last month to the tenth of this month, a total of 15 tons of heavy oil, [-] tons of gasoline, and food were collected..."

"15 tons."

After listening to Yamamoto's report, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly smiled and shook his head, his tone full of emotion:

"Li Yunlong's handwriting is really great."

One month, 15 tons of heavy oil, what is this concept?
It was enough for the United Fleet to launch a large-scale dispatch. The fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor back then had more than 20 warships with a speed of [-] knots and only consumed [-] tons of fuel per day.

"..."

Yamamoto did not answer, and remained silent throughout.

15 tons of heavy oil is sold a month, but only [-] tons of gasoline, even a small soldier can know that this is Li Yunlong's conspiracy.

But the headquarters did not realize it, and the emperor ignored it completely, and directly ordered the various ministries to give the green light to the First Army, collected machinery and equipment everywhere, and even dismantled some unimportant domestic machinery in exchange for fuel.

He no longer knew how to evaluate this matter.

"The base camp just received a telegram that the follow-up [-] recruits will arrive in Taiyuan at the end of this month, and this batch of recruits will be fully equipped with weapons and equipment according to the C-class brigade."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued with a smile.

Yamamoto continued to remain silent.

Under the crazy increase of troops in the country, starting from the big defeat in March, and now in May, the First Army has expanded to 7 people. With the addition of [-] new recruits, the total strength can exceed [-]. On paper Data is very powerful.

But in fact, most of this army is recruits, and they are inferior recruits.

Poor body, poor will, poor spirit.

According to his statistics, in just ten days from the end of April to today, more than 200 deserters from the First Army appeared and voluntarily surrendered to the Tuba Road.More than one and a half brigades committed suicide.

As for the weapons and equipment of the so-called C-class brigade, to put it bluntly, they are lightly armed troops, the kind that a brigade is only equipped with a few mortars.

such an army.

In a real fight, it is not the opponent of Li Yunlong's independent regiment at all. The only role is to consume its ammunition and add credit to Li Yunlong's number of people.

"Although I don't know when Li Yunlong will do it, I think it should be soon."

Shinozuka Yoshio continued to play chess with a very calm tone.

"Judging from the current situation and the information collected, Li Yunlong will take action within two months at most."

Yamamoto answered this time.

"How's the fort building going?"

Yoshio Shinozuka changed the subject.

"Five large fortresses around Taiyuan City have already completed their preliminary structures."

Yamamoto replied:
"It's just general. If the fortress is built according to the two-meter-thick reinforced concrete of the main structure, our materials are completely insufficient."

The First Army has no chance of winning. The Independent Regiment can drive the First Army out of Shanxi at any time, or even swallow the First Army. Two months ago, the two of them understood this fact.

The base camp and the emperor ordered the two to stick to Tai | Yuan until the last soldier died, and strictly prohibited retreat.

But Yamamoto and Shinozuka will naturally not sit still.

Although it is impossible to win, and even consuming supplies is futile, after analyzing the situation of the independent regiment, the two found that the independent regiment still has a big weakness, and that is its strength.

Especially the technical arms are seriously lacking.

In response to this weakness, the two formulated a new battle plan.

In Tai | Yuan City, build five solid and thick reinforced concrete fortresses that can withstand heavy artillery of [-] calibers or more, and organize elite troops with rich combat experience and firm will to station.

After the Independence Regiment launched its attack, with the help of strong fortifications, it will stick to it for a long time, consume the strength of the Independence Regiment, and kill and injure the strength of the Independence Regiment. It must make the Independence Regiment very heartbroken.

With sufficient supplies and a strong fortress, it is not a problem to hold on for a few months.

The two thought very simply.

Every time a new weapon appeared in the independent regiment, it was beyond the expectations of the two of them, interrupting their plans and causing a complete collapse of the front line.

Then, this time, a two-meter-thick reinforced concrete layer was directly added. Even if Li Yunlong took out a 400mm siege mortar, it would be impossible to penetrate it.

After all, the German Karl mortar can only penetrate a [-]-meter reinforced concrete layer.

"That's not a problem."

Shinozuka Yoshio smiled and said:

"A large amount of steel and cement in the Northeast has been loaded, and will arrive the day after tomorrow. Continue to build the fort according to the scheduled plan."

The Empire lacks these resources, but it is not without them. Now that the First Army has provided a large amount of fuel, its importance has greatly increased. Although there is no way to send elite divisions and heavy weapons, reinforced concrete can still be easily applied for.

"Hi."

Yamamoto bowed his head.

······
that evening.

Heyuan County unloading area.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Huang Quan, the captain of the flight team, were watching a newly arrived transport plane.

"This transport plane is really good."

Huang Quan touched the five-bladed propeller:

"The large cargo warehouse with the door at the rear can be opened and closed in the air. It is very convenient to load and unload materials, and the cargo balance is also simple. It can even drop materials directly at low altitude without landing."

"The engine and bomb truck are the same model as the fighter jet, which is easy to maintain and saves manpower."

"Good stuff."

Huang Quan was very satisfied.

With this transport plane, it will be much easier to support troops that penetrate behind enemy lines in the future.The number of two hundred is enough to toss for a long time.

"Directly drop supplies at low altitude?"

Kong Jie's eyes lit up:
"You don't need to land, can you directly drop supplies?"

Although he has the confidence to complete the task.

But in the plan, before obtaining supplies, the most difficult part of the new base area is the construction of the airport. A straight runway with a length of hundreds of meters and a width of more than ten meters, even if it does not need to be paved, will not be completed under the harassment and attack of devils. One easy thing is.

If a large amount of materials and weapons and ammunition can be obtained in advance, the difficulty will be reduced by several levels in an instant.

"can."

Huang Quan nodded:
"The door of this transport aircraft can be opened in the air, and the cargo compartment has slide rails, so materials can be dropped directly at low altitude, but the materials need to be packed in advance and fixed with strong wooden beams, and the ground must be flat."

"It's simple."

Kong Jie was overjoyed to get an affirmative answer.

Compared with building a runway, it is much simpler to occupy a section of flat land.

"Hey, there are actually new aerial bombs."

Li Yunlong, who was looking at the list, discovered Huadian. He found that there was an extra weapon at the end of the list. He hadn't noticed it before, and Brother Chen didn't mention it.

"New bomb?"

Kong Jie and Huang Quan were very curious.

"What is it called a ground penetrator?"

Li Yunlong said in detail:

"Using gun steel to make the shell, filled with RDX explosives, with a total weight of 1600 kilograms, dive bombs at a height of 2000 meters, release at 500 meters, and can penetrate a 16-meter reinforced concrete layer, or a [-]-meter civil layer."

"What's the use of this thing?"

Although the data is scary, Kong Jie frowned:
"The little devil doesn't need what this thing dispatches."

This thing is completely overflowing with power.

"who cares."

In line with the principle that the more the better, the more good things the better, Li Yunlong happily collected the list:

"Anyway, it's a good thing."
