The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 1100 Eighth Route Army Aviation Team

a day ago.

The Research Office of the Secret Aviation Base of the First Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment of the Eighth Route Army Northwest Shanxi.

Kong Jie came to inspect the transformation of the combat aircraft of the aviation unit. The head of the logistics department of the first team, the director of the scientific research offices, Dong San, the agent of each factory, and Doolittle, who is currently in charge of the commander of the aviation team of the first team, were at the Accompanied by the introduction.

"Old commander, these are the Type [-] fighter jets we seized from various airports of the devils. We have basically repaired all the problems on the plane, and we can directly put it into combat.

In addition, we also made some special modifications to these fighters.

Considering that these fighter jets have trouble communicating with each other during combat, we installed a radio station inside the plane. We used the plane radio station used by Lieutenant Colonel Du and his US military.

In addition, we installed a certain amount of bulletproof steel plates in important parts, and replaced purified aviation fuel and high-quality lubricating oil. "

"This is the fuel tank part of the plane. The devil's closed fuel tank is often easily hit by firepower, and once hit, it often means that the plane crashes.

So we replaced it and installed the automatic fire extinguishing device used in the tank, which can reduce the crash rate of the aircraft to a certain extent.

In addition, we replaced the 7.7 aviation machine guns with 12.7 aviation machine guns, and installed armor-piercing incendiary bombs, which are much more powerful when used in air combat. "

Dong San introduced, "With the use of high-quality aviation fuel and lubricating oil, our aircraft is faster than the Devil's aircraft, which is also our advantage.

Coupled with the improvement of our defense and firepower.

All the performances of the fighter jets we modified are crushing little devils! "

Doolittle nodded with a smile on the side. These Chinese who can be called military industrial talents are indeed smart. Although they do not have enough industrial level to independently produce aircraft, they can use it flexibly during transformation and display special wisdom. This made him particularly admire.

This is probably the wisdom of the Chinese people.

Talking about the upcoming official confrontation between the aviation unit first built by the Eighth Route Army in the Licheng area and the aviation unit that the Japanese army may arrive at any time.

Dolittle's face showed absolute domain, confident and at the same time mixed with unconcealable excitement.

He vowed, "Kong, I will let these damned Japanese soldiers deeply appreciate the power of our Eighth Route Army aviation unit!"

Kong Jie was very happy, and he was even more happy that Doolittle used the word "we".

What does this show?

This shows that Brother Du is assimilating, hehe.

Doolittle went on to introduce the general situation of the construction of the next air force:
"Currently, our aviation force mainly consists of three Type [-] Zhongkui fighter jets, plus twelve Type [-] fighter jets captured from the Japanese army, and six Type [-] Falcon fighter jets."

Among them, the Type II Zhongkui fighter jets can be said to be the most advanced fighters of the Japanese army at present, with the best performance and the most powerful combat effectiveness.

It was Duan Peng who led the members of the commando and secretly hijacked the fighter plane from the devil's temporary airport during the battle between Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

The fighter squadron composed of these three Type II Zhongkui fighter jets as the core can be said to be the most elite flying team in a secret aviation unit so far.

The best fighter planes are naturally handed over to the best pilots, so these Type [-] Zhong Kui fighter jets are basically handed over to Doolittle and his elite US military pilots.

In terms of a team, there are also several excellent pilots who also participated in the battle.

Kong Jie is based on the principle of being suspicious and not using people without suspicion.

Since Doolittle is willing to stay and help, and he has this talent, Kong Jie will naturally give a corresponding stage.

In addition, for the Type II Zhongkui fighter, the processing plant of the first team also made some special modifications, in addition to using newly developed lubricating oil, and installing an automatic fire extinguishing device for the fuel tank as Dong San said before, adding some bulletproof In addition to changes such as steel plates.

Compared with the Devil's original Type II Zhongkui fighter.

The biggest difference between the modified Eighth Route Army Zhongkui fighter is that the four aviation machine guns have been changed to four 20mm aviation machine guns.

In this way, the Devil's Type [-] Zhongkui fighter has all-round improvements in firepower, protection, speed, reliability, etc., and can be used as the sharp knife of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

When the two sides compete in the air next time, the Japanese army will most likely be shocked to find that they are also the Zhong Kui fighter jets of his empire. After being captured by the Eighth Route Army, their combat effectiveness has increased a lot!
Of course, the specific effect of this modified fighter can only be confirmed after it is officially put into combat.

Kong Jie is very confident about this.

This is just like the modification carried out by a team after capturing the Japanese tanks, and later also in the battle against the Japanese armored forces in the Mengxi area, the advantages of the modified tanks were brought into full play.

This is the wisdom of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition to the most elite aviation sharp knife, the Type [-] Zhongkui Fighter Squad, there is also the Falcon Squad mainly composed of six Type [-] Falcon fighters.

The modification of the fighter is basically the same as that of the Type II Zhongkui fighter.

This is the second elite aviation unit besides the Type II Zhongkui Fighter Squad.

Then there is a flying team composed of 12 Type 97 fighter jets.

The establishment of a total of three flight teams is the basic force of the current air force for construction, plus some light bombers, there are nearly 30 aircraft.

As for some old-fashioned and old-fashioned aircraft, they will not participate in this battle.

In Kong Jie’s words, “That’s purely a fighter plane for the pilots we’ve worked so hard to train to die!”

So basically all the old-fashioned planes seized by a team were sent to Yan'an. Just this, the leaders of Yan'an were so happy that they almost couldn't speak from ear to ear.

Speaking of it, although the devil has absolute air supremacy when fighting the Eighth Route Army, the strength of the little devil's air force is only relative to the Chinese army.

A flying team of Devils has three flying squadrons under its jurisdiction, and the number of fighters is between 24 and 36 planes.

Calculated in this way, the number of fighter jets owned by an aviation unit can basically be equal to that of a flying team of devils.

Of course, it is unrealistic for just a flying team to compete with the powerful air force owned by the Japanese army.

Therefore, when sending an air force to participate in the battle this time, Kong Jie clearly stated in the military meeting:
"The aviation unit that our Eighth Route Army has worked so hard to build cannot be wiped out in one battle, so please remember that you are allowed to participate in the battle this time, but the premise is that we still focus on infantry-to-air combat.

As for our aviation team, we must grasp the timing when we make a move.

We have to wait until the ammunition loaded by the devils is almost used up, and the fighter planes have been destroyed by our air defense force a lot, then we will take the opportunity to shoot at this time.

In other words, it is to fight a wave of harvest, kill the devil's fighter jets, and at the same time promote the military might of our Eighth Route Army aviation unit! "

Doolittle smiled, he didn't expect Kong Jie's request to be so easy.

In such a battle, in the eyes of an excellent pilot like him, there is no pressure at all.

The pilots and soldiers of a team participating in the meeting were unusually solemn.

Not long after, something else happened.

Dolittle, who has always been well-mannered, humorous and able to get along well with the soldiers, found fire in his eyes and approached Kong Jie angrily. When he met him, he complained: "Kong, please restrain your subordinates, they are too Don't take your own life seriously!"

Kong Jie looked puzzled, "Brother Du, what's going on? Don't worry, speak slowly!"

Doolittle informed the situation immediately.

It turned out that some pilots of a team refused to carry parachutes and other escape equipment when they participated in the battle.

This made Doolittle very angry. He believed that those pilots did not cherish their lives at all.

After Kong Jie listened, it was not bad.

In his opinion, all pilots are treasures, so he immediately called the commander in charge of the training of a team of pilots——Dai Minsheng.

Dai Minsheng came from Yan'an. As early as many years ago, he was in charge of aviation research and training of reserve pilots in Yan'an.

Although due to the poor conditions, the pilots of the Eighth Route Army who studied in Yan'an have never piloted an airplane at all. Many of them have never even seen or touched an airplane. They can only know it through pictures. Perceive through imagination.

It was under such simple and unbelievably difficult conditions that Dai Minsheng relied on his early flying experience and solid flying knowledge to reserve a group of pilot talents for the Eighth Route Army in advance.

Don't underestimate these "early education".

Just as a team of aviation troops was formally established, Dai Minsheng arrived with the pilots he had trained.

After really getting in touch with these planes, they quickly integrated the knowledge that was almost deep in their hearts from the past.

So much so that the speed of progress in flying surprised Doolittle and his party.

"report!"

Soon, Dai Minsheng arrived, and when he entered the headquarters, he immediately saw Doolittle glaring at him.

Dai Minsheng had a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect this Yankee to be so stubborn that he would sue the detachment leader.

Kong Jie asked directly: "Old Dai, tell me, what's going on?

Brother Du said that you refused to wear escape equipment when participating in the war.

Could this be happening?

In case the plane is damaged or is about to crash during the battle, can you just wait on the plane to die? "

Doolittle snorted twice, but did not speak.

Dai Minsheng smiled, and then his words became deep. He explained: "Detachment Captain, the specific situation is like this. Isn't our Eighth Route Army afraid of poverty? In the past, let alone fighter jets or bombers, even one No decent cannons, not a single tank.

Now we finally have our own aviation force and our own fighter planes.

When our soldiers are training day and night, we even regard the fighter plane as our own life.

Our soldiers said that the fighter plane is our closest comrade-in-arms and partner. If one day the fighter plane is damaged or crashes during the battle, should we abandon our companions and escape alone?
No, everyone said, it was impossible!

If we want to die, our pilots should also die with our fighter planes.

On the battlefield, how can there be anyone who is not dead, and who is not sacrificed?

If you prepare the escape equipment in advance when you get on the plane, can you really treat death like home and fight desperately with the little devil? "

The strong words, the backbone of the Chinese soldiers, as well as the national feelings and patriotic feelings are vividly expressed at this moment.

Doolittle finally understood what these Chinese soldiers were thinking.

At this moment, he couldn't help being in awe.

If it is said that Doolittle and the American pilots he led flew planes to bomb Tokyo and managed to treat death as home, he could be called a hero.

In Doolittle's view, perhaps in such a magical place as the base of the Eighth Route Army, heroes like them can be found everywhere.

These crazy brave Chinese!

It's not that they don't cherish their lives, it's that they would rather put their lives behind them for the sake of the independence of the nation and the prosperity of the country!

"Confused!"

Kong Jie cursed, "Old Dai, thank you for being an old comrade, why are you so stupid?
What is it like to regard death as home and sacrifice your life for righteousness? Can that be the same as the situation in front of you?

The escape equipment equipped on the plane is to improve the survival rate of the pilots. How much effort and resources are spent on training a pilot!

If our fighter planes are destroyed by the enemy during the battle, it would already be a huge loss for us. If we include you precious pilots together, then our loss would even be doubled.

Let me tell you, in my team, the principle at all times is based on our soldiers.

You go back and tell the other comrades.

It's okay to be ambitious, a good thing, why don't I applaud them later?

——Anyone who is ambitious and unwilling to equip escape equipment will be disqualified from participating in this battle.

What I, Kong Jie, need, what our revolutionary road needs, and what we need in China are not just soldiers who can win battles, but soldiers who can guarantee their survival after winning battles! "

Dai Mingsheng was scolded a lot, but he didn't refute anything.

Kong Jie has absolute prestige in a team, and the same is true for Dai Minsheng and his party.

If it is said that for other frontline combat generals, what everyone has is respect.

For Kong Jie, a general who can engage in economics, war, and technology, and even put forward many theoretical ideas in the aviation field from time to time, which amazed Doolittle, Du Dai Minsheng and his party.

Dai Minsheng is particularly admired, he simply admires and worships him.

In the end, Dai Minsheng honestly went back with Kong Jie's order. With him as the leader as a lobbyist, Kong Jie believed that the rest of the pilots would not be unable to turn the corner.

Then he comforted Doolittle again.

Doolittle returned contentedly, and actively prepared for this battle.

Kong Jie's gaze retracted, and he returned to the Licheng area on the map.
