Rise from the sword

Chapter 583
mountain city.

"Are you serious?"

Several pilots dressed in leather looked at Cai Jiheng and asked in disbelief:
"Leave the army and go to... Heyuan County?!"

For the word Heyuan County, the voices of several people were very low.

After all, as the core site of the 'enemy' army aviation force, the largest airport in the entire Republic of China, the name itself is prohibited, especially for people in their army, who may face investigation if they say it later.

Although there are piles of business groups traveling between Shancheng and Heyuan County, the excellent products produced in Heyuan County almost cover the entire Shancheng.

"Correct."

Cai Jiheng's tone was decisive:
"Go to Heyuan County, go to the flying wing of the Eighth Route."

At first, although he had this idea in his heart, he never put it into action. After all, he was somewhat reluctant to leave the troops he had been training and flying for several years.

His teammates are here, the instructor is here, and the beloved fighter that accompanied him through battles is also here, even if it is just a P40 that Americans have no longer looked down upon.

At that time, the idea was still a seed.

The idea really sprouted when the Americans left.

The Americans left and took away all the heavy bombers, fighter units, ground crews, and instructors, leaving only a group of their own pilots and logistics staff. Although the Americans are still providing fuel and fighter parts through the hump route, But the number is much less than before, and technical guidance has also been lost.

Without the American supplies and the influence brought by the Americans, the life of the remaining fruit pilots suddenly became sad. There were many problems in both combat and training.

Lack of ammunition, lack of fuel, and even the military pay could not continue to be paid on time.

These problems are okay and can be overcome, but the most troublesome and unbearable thing for the pilots is that the group of useless high-ranking officials always guide the experts by laymen, and they always change their orders day by day.

Even if Northwest Shanxi later provided fuel, ammunition, and some aircraft parts, not only did life not get better, but the higher-ups were even more vigilant against them, for fear that they would secretly fly the plane to the Eighth Road site.So much so that for every flight mission, there will be a special person to supervise the fixed-point and quantitative supply of fuel. As for training, no opportunity is given at all.Except for fighting, don't even try to touch the plane.

In recent days, even combat missions have stopped.

Then, a letter from Cai Jigang, his elder brother, the military supervisor of the Tenth Army of Hengyang, made him finally make up his mind.

It is absolutely intolerable for him to lure the people in Northwest Shanxi to fight with the devils at the expense of millions of people in the Changheng area, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"It's meaningless for us to stay here, it's just a waste of time."

Cai Jiheng snorted coldly:
"Everyone knows the current situation. The group of people above us only want to preserve their strength and themselves. They don't want to fight devils at all. They only want to grab territory and profit."

"really."

At this time, a teammate of Cai Jiheng nodded.

They are pilots and intellectuals, and many of them even went to the United States for training, so they have a broad vision.

Now, they still don't know what the high-level executives in the mountain city think?
In particular, the incident of purchasing food with legal currency broke everyone's hearts. It is ridiculous to destroy one's own currency for a small profit.

In his opinion, in the initial stage or even the middle stage of the circulation of food stamps, if his senior management really thought about it, as long as they worked hard to ban it, it would be easy to deal with it. In circulation, the currency on the market will eventually be occupied by others.

Ridiculous.

And such a force is actually an orthodox force in a country, he feels sad.

Sad for myself, sad for the people, sad for this country and nation.

"How about it?"

Cai Jiheng looked around the crowd with a seductive tone:

"going or not."

"I heard that in Heyuan County, any pilot can train on the real plane for eight hours a day."

According to his brother's telegram, there is a great shortage of pilots in Heyuan County, and there is an urgent need. The pilots who come to fruit are always welcome. As long as they pass a simple spy screening, they can join the army, so the more pilots he brings, the better.

The more people he leads, the more he will be valued.

"Eight hours of real machine training every day?"

The crowd widened their eyes.

"Eight hours of actual training?"

"really!"

People don't believe it.

Eight hours of real machine training every day, what is this concept?The fighter p40 they fly flies in the most economical cruising mode without any maneuvers. For eight hours, it consumes nearly [-] tons of fuel, and then there are parts consumption, lubricating oil consumption, aircraft life consumption, and accidents. Happening.

A fighter jet is a complex mechanical creation with advanced technology and heavy loads. It is prone to failure during flight. They often have to abandon the plane and parachute.This is a big loss.

"Hey."

Cai Jiheng chuckled:
"You don't have to, this news was sent by my brother, he saw it with his own eyes."

"Otherwise, how did they train so many pilots?"

The news from the general made everyone believe a little bit, and then, the specific examples increased everyone's confidence. After all, they are very clear about the huge pilot team of the Eighth Route Army.

There is definite information, as evidenced by photos in newspapers, that there are at least a thousand pilots on the Eighth Route.

least!
And they are all capable pilots.

In less than a year, so many pilots have been trained. Given the conditions of our own country, only high-intensity real-plane training can be completed.

Here, almost everyone is moved.

"go."

Someone nodded immediately.

"how to get to?"

Some people asked directly.

"I've already contacted them."

Cai Jiheng smiled slightly:
"They'll send someone to fetch us."

As he spoke, Cai Jiheng took out a stack of food coupons from his pocket and distributed them to everyone:
"This is the travel expenses they gave."

"Food stamps."

Looking at the food vouchers being handed to them, some people had complicated eyes. They were holding a large amount at this time. Even in terms of dollar ratio, it was equivalent to the military pay of American pilots for several months.

And a few of them smiled and patted Cai Jiheng on the shoulder:

"You kid is so mean, you have a good thing to hide from us and eat alone."

"Ha ha···"

Cai Jiheng laughed:
"It's my brother's fault. When I get to Heyuan County, I'll invite my brothers to drink. If you don't get drunk, you won't go home."

"Can you drink over there?"

Someone asked:

"It is said that the discipline of that army is very strict, drinking alcohol is prohibited, and brewing wine consumes a lot of food."

The shadow of a tree, the name of a person, although the eight roads are far away from the mountain city, their reputation and influence have long spread to the whole country.

"During the break, you can still drink,"

Cai Jigang laughed:
"As for the consumption of food for brewing, do you think they will be short of food?"

The person who asked the question was suddenly stunned.

Eight roads lack of food?

Like, the lack of corrupt officials in preserved fruit!
"Can you still bring someone?"

After everyone discussed how to leave the plan, someone suddenly said:

"I can pull two dozen pilots."

He then added:
"Although they are all transport plane pilots, they are all guys who have flown the hump at least twenty times."

·······
Hengyang.

"commander."

A telecommunications staff officer ran into the headquarters:
"Chief Kong sent a telegram, and they have agreed to our request."

"Great."

Inside the headquarters, General Fang and his staff cheered in unison.

"Commander Kong said that they will send 150 fighter planes to support us, including [-] 'bomb trucks' and [-] professional 'air gunboats'."

The telecommunications staff officer who reported continued.

"Bomb truck?"

"Sky gunship?"

Although it is not clear what these two aircraft are, but, listen to the name

truck.

gunboat.

Both of them have a large loading capacity, which means fierce firepower, which makes the people in the staff department excited.

"150?"

Others focus on quantity.

The telegram said that it was 150 sorties, not 150 sorties!
There is an essential difference between the two.

The former means that there are only 150 sorties to support, and the latter means that 150 aircraft provide support for their operations until the end of the battle.

As long as the battle is fought, the aircraft will support it for as long as possible.

"Notify the Commando."

General Fang raised the corner of his mouth:
"The attack operation was carried out according to the scheduled time."

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately went to issue an order.

"Brother Yunhe."

Afterwards, General Fang looked at Cai Jigang. The two had only met by chance before, but in the past half a month in Hengyang, the relationship between the two has grown.

"You are in charge of the liaison with the independent group. Tell me directly if you need anything, and I will fully cooperate."

"Yes."

Cai Jigang nodded.

At present, the logistics of the Tenth Army is all provided by air transport from the Independent Regiment, so there are quite a few members of the Independent Regiment at the airport, who are responsible for aircraft scheduling, landing guidance, etc. Since yesterday, there are also liaison officers from the Independent Regiment in the army.

It is very important to coordinate matters between these independent regiment fighters and the Tenth Army, so it is most suitable for him to lead.

After the staff officer left to convey the order, a major general | commander of the Tenth Army walked in:
"Commander."

As soon as he entered the door, the major general said in a bitter tone:
"That Wang Xikui asked to join our commando."

"There is also the instructor named Duan Peng, who also wants to participate."

"I really can't persuade these two people."

At this time, the major general was about to cry. He was the frontline commander in charge of the response operation. He was also the person with the most seniority, combat experience, and command ability in the Tenth Army, so he was entrusted with an important task.

But facing these two masters, he was also very helpless.

That Duan Peng was the first wave of weapon instructors who taught them how to use general-purpose machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, heavy machine guns, and small steel cannons. It is said that this person is also a member of the mysterious special forces of the Independence Regiment.

That Special Forces team has a great reputation.

There were no less than fifty ghost generals who died in the hands of this army, more than ten lieutenant generals, and even several generals.In this battle in the Changheng area, the reason why Japanese planes seldom appeared was also because this mysterious special force sneaked into every Japanese airport secretly at the beginning of the war, and guided the bombers to blow up all the Japanese planes.

As for the other one, he is not familiar with it, but it is said that this master is even more mysterious.Moreover, this marksman's marksmanship is outrageous. After half a month of fighting in Hengyang, no less than 120 devils died in the hands of this master.

One person can kill a squadron of devils.

"Wang Xikui from the Independent Regiment, Duan Peng wants to join the commando team?!"

General Fang has a headache.

Duan Peng is fine, it's nothing to participate in the battle, he is young, physically fit, and his individual quality can be called the top soldier king.Moreover, his main task is to communicate in the air and ground, so the danger is not great.

But Wang Xikui, this is a senior veteran of the independent regiment. It is said that he has been in the independent regiment since its formation.

But this one, has a certain right to act alone on the battlefield, and he can't persuade him.

"Pay attention to their safety."

In the end, General Fang could only say something silently.
