Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1181

When Xu Zhongyi entered the office in Fengtian, he found a document on the desk.

The document contains a master list of this batch of supplies.

Leaving aside the details of the weaponry, the main point is that they were standardized into two types of rifles: one was the German G98/98K rifle, of which 100 million units mainly came from German military warehouses.

Another option is the US M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, of which there are 150 million units, mainly from surplus supplies.

The other artillery pieces totaled 12000, along with 1900 tanks of various types and 300 anti-tank guns. These supplies alone cost Lin Hao a considerable amount of money, and this was obtained at an extremely low price using his skill.

"The rest are winter clothes consisting of a cotton-padded coat, cotton-padded trousers, a windproof hat, thick socks, and rubber shoes, totaling 200 million sets!"

10,000 sets of surgical instruments, 500,000 boxes of antibiotics such as penicillin (6 vials per box), 100,000 bottles of 500ml alcohol, 1.8 million rolls of bandages...

Each combat ration package contains two or three compressed biscuits, along with a cod liver oil capsule, a packet of instant coffee, three candies, and dried carrots to prevent night blindness, totaling 3000 million packages of combat rations.

The instant coffee and sugar were salvaged from combat ration packs purchased from the surplus supplies of the United States, while the cod liver oil was purchased separately by Lin Hao.

These 30 million combat ration packages, each enough for one person for one day, and enough for 300,000 people for one month.

Of course, this is combat rations used during combat. Normal supplies are provided during peacetime, and include various canned luncheon meats purchased from surplus supplies.

Xu Zhongyi was overjoyed when he saw the list of supplies, but he was also shocked by the sudden arrival of so many supplies.

Xu Zhongyi has been extremely busy lately in order to receive this batch of supplies.

It is said that an army marches on its stomach, and the current situation has reached a critical juncture. Xu Zhongyi is in charge of logistics, and recently he has been mobilizing supplies from all over the place.

However, putting aside the quantity of the supplies that were mobilized, their quality was truly worrying. The food was somewhat better, but the other items were really appalling, especially the cotton-padded clothes that came from Shanghai, which were actually adulterated with counterfeit goods...

But to his surprise, at this critical juncture, he suddenly received orders from his superiors to prepare for the secret receipt of a batch of supplies.

Good heavens, just the complete sets of cotton-padded clothes alone amount to 200 million sets, which would solve a major problem.

With mid-October almost over, it has started snowing in Fengtian. Although it is only light snow, the temperature has already dropped below zero.

However, most of the soldiers who came to our side, especially the first batch, came from the south and were still wearing only a single layer of clothing.

It's not even the coldest time yet. In another two or three months, it will be freezing cold, and people will really die without cotton-padded clothes.

He started preparing supplies at the end of last month, but the supplies he could mobilize were extremely limited.

Wow, I didn't expect so many supplies to arrive all at once. Now all the problems are solved at once.

After receiving the supplies, they learned from their superiors that they had actually been purchased from overseas and delivered directly to Yingkou by sea.

Xu Zhongyi knows Yingkou very well. He traded with Lin Hao here back then. You have to understand that at that time, the roads were blocked, but Lin Hao still managed to send the goods in.

Although almost two years have passed, he still has a deep impression of Lin Hao, so he is certain that Lin Hao sent it.

After telling his wife his guess, Bai Xu came to him and massaged his temples.

"It must be him. Only he could get so many supplies, and he probably prepared them in advance!"

"I heard before that a large amount of industrial equipment was purchased from abroad, which seems to be related to him. I guess these supplies were probably prepared by him with the government's money, just like before."

Xu Zhongyi nodded and said, "That's what I think too, especially these medical supplies and cotton-padded clothes, they're just in time!"

However, when the supplies were put into storage, Xu Zhongyi still sent people to conduct random inspections of the supplies, especially weapons, equipment and penicillin.

After several busy days, the inspection was finally completed before the arrival of the Southern Legion. No problems were found, and all the goods were of excellent quality.

"Great! Now I can finally relax. I was worried that the soldiers would get cold, but now with these cotton-padded clothes, they will be able to keep warm even in freezing conditions," Xu Zhongyi said happily.

······
On October 19, 1950, the newly equipped corps marched with tanks leading the way, soldiers lined up in rows, and trucks carrying supplies following in an endless stream.

Accompanied by the song "Marching forward with high spirits, we will cross over!", the war officially began.

First, there was the ground campaign, which was incredibly intense (I won't go into detail about the ground campaign, I'll just mention it briefly).

A few days later, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army advanced with unstoppable momentum, winning battle after battle, and the United States fled in disarray.

Seeing this situation, the United States was certainly unwilling to give up, so it dispatched a large number of fighter jets in an attempt to reverse the decline.

The fighter jets they dispatched were mainly P-51 Mustangs, but they didn't expect that Lin Hao's side also had the same Mustang fighter jets.

The two sides were not significantly different in combat capabilities, and with the help of Lin Hao in building several flight academies, a large number of outstanding pilots were trained.

The key is that Lin Hao allowed them to fly, treating the Mustangs as training aircraft, training them vigorously, and even having them compete against each other.

The key was Lin Hao's Blue Team, which served as their training partners for enemy aircraft. Therefore, before going into battle, they had already become familiar with the flying experience and combat tactics of American pilots.

After several air battles, the US suffered heavy losses of fighter jets and only then did they realize that their country possessed so much advanced equipment, the key point being that it used the same weapons as them. How could they tolerate this?

The rifles were the same as theirs, the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, the anti-tank guns were the same, the rocket launchers were the same, even the tanks and artillery were the same, not to mention the Mustang fighter planes.

Therefore, in response to this matter, an immediate order was issued to the country to thoroughly investigate why the new China had so much American equipment. What could be more outrageous than this?

Meanwhile, Lin Hao's Global Development Bank had already distanced itself and gone into hiding.

The main reason is that Lin Hao's spatial equipment was used, making transportation extremely secretive. In addition, the memories of the people who came into contact with him were erased, so trying to find out through arms channels would only yield nothing.

The crucial point is that these items were originally listed as surplus supplies and sold worldwide; anyone could buy them, making tracing their origins virtually impossible.

Most importantly, neither the military nor the arms industry will allow them to continue the investigation.

You could have easily profited from the war, but instead you insist on investigating. What if you actually find something wrong? Who will take responsibility?

Moreover, they believed that since the new China possessed so much American equipment and such strong combat capabilities, shouldn't the US military procure more advanced equipment? Thus, at the end of October, the US, finally unable to withstand the pressure, dispatched its F-80 jet fighters.

Sure enough, once a generational gap was established, the P-51 Mustang was no match for jet fighters. Its only chance of winning was in low-altitude dogfights, where it might be able to turn the tide.

Or perhaps they were lying in ambush in the clouds, but the pilots, who had already been tormented by the Blue Army's F86s, returned to their original positions after discovering that the other side was a jet fighter, without forcing a fight.

In its original history, the first batch of fighter jets that the People's Republic of China purchased from the Soviet Union consisted of more than 300 MiG-9 fighter jets.

This fighter jet would struggle even against the US Mustang; there's no significant advantage between the two, let alone the F-80 fighter jet.

The main reason was that the order was signed during the visit in 49, and they did not know that the founding war of the new China would turn into the beating of the Seventeen Gangs.

Besides the more than 300 MiG-9s, China has only ordered 38 of the Soviet Union's most advanced MiG-15s.

Judging from the various parameters, the MiG-15 is definitely stronger than the F-80, and the F-86 is its true rival.

In the original history, it wasn't until 1951, almost a year into the war, that the Soviet Union admitted they had overestimated the performance of the MiG-9 against the F-86 Sabre.

In reality, the combat capabilities of the two fighter jets are not even on the same level.

Therefore, it wasn't until the end of 1951, when the war was nearing its end, that the Soviet Union officially decided to equip the Chinese Air Force with 372 MiG-15s free of charge.

That sounds pretty generous; they're upgrading your MiG-9 to a MiG-15 for free.

But we must understand that this was won by the countless lives of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers on the Korean battlefield!
That's why Lin Hao is so eager to improve the air force's combat capabilities.

It's important to understand that historically, the lack of sufficient air force meant that logistical supply lines couldn't be secured, which led to many strategic objectives not being fully achieved during the First and Second Campaigns.

Otherwise, it's not impossible that he might have pushed Mai Paopao directly into the sea in one go.

Therefore, instead of purchasing MiG-15s from Russia, Lin Hao brought the Mountain Eagle, a J-5 jet fighter that transcended its era.

Who would have thought that a pilot with less than 30 flight hours could achieve an exchange ratio of 1:1.06 against a pilot with more than 200 hours on the other side?

They used their iron will to fight against the enemy's iron weapons.

Now, Lin Hao is arming his comrades with the iron will of the J-5 fighter jet, a revolutionary weapon.

······
Before we knew it, it was November 8th. The first ever duel between jet fighters in human history took place in the airspace near the Yalu River.

Six J-5 fighter jets that took off from Dandong spotted four F-80s on the opposite side of the Yalu River after flying over it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they directly increased altitude to gain more energy and used their altitude advantage to launch a dive attack.

Perhaps because of the presence of the F-80 fighter jets on the other side, the Volunteer Army's Mustangs took the initiative to avoid them, so they thought they were invincible and became somewhat complacent and contemptuous.

So two J-5 fighters continued to circle at high altitude, while the other four J-5 fighters dived and accelerated like eagles, and were shot down before the F-80s could react.

The whole process was swift and efficient, even somewhat tedious. It consisted of only four actions: lock onto the target, dive, attack, and return. Then all four F-80s were gone.

Yes, it was shot down just like that, so swiftly and decisively that no one could react in time.

The first aerial combat between jet fighters in human history ended so "hastily".

This was just the beginning. Next, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army deployed a large number of J-5 jet fighters and quickly wiped out the few remaining F-80s.

"F***ing! What's going on? How come they have fighter jets that are more advanced than ours? Did the Russians sell them to them?"

"Does this mean that our fighter jets are far behind theirs? We need an explanation for this!"

The US was furious, and Russia wasn't much better off; they hadn't expected such a big surprise.

Leaving aside the issues between the two countries, the United States was naturally unwilling to accept this, so it dispatched F-84s.

The F-84 Thunderjet fighter was a jet fighter developed by Republic Aircraft Corporation of the United States and was the first fighter jet of the United States Air Force after World War II.

它于1946年2月26日首次试飞，1947年6月开始批量生产，动力装置是艾里逊J35-A-29涡喷发动机，为轴流式设计。

The F-84 fighter jet features a nose-mounted air intake design, a pressurized cockpit with a teardrop-shaped canopy and ejection seat, and a large speed brake installed under the cockpit on the belly of the fuselage.

武器系统包括：机头4挺12.7毫米勃朗宁机枪和翼根2挺12.7毫米勃朗宁机枪，翼下挂架最大可携带1814千克炸弹或火箭弹。

The F-84 fighter jet was the first jet fighter in the United States capable of carrying tactical nuclear weapons.

Compared to the F80, which served as a technology demonstrator, the F84 Thunder multirole fighter is more technologically mature, with an axial-flow design that results in lower fuel consumption and a more streamlined fuselage, reducing drag by 15%.

The flight speed also increased from 932 km/h to 1059 km/h, and the payload doubled to 1.8 tons.

With a few modifications to increase its payload, this aircraft could be transformed into a bomb truck, with a maximum load capacity of up to 2.7 tons, although this was for later models.

Although the F-84's attributes were far superior to those of the F-80 fighter jet, this fighter jet was still no match for the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Air Force.

Following the fall of the propeller-driven P-51 Mustang, the F-80 "Meteor" also fell, and the F-84, which had just entered service, was also shot down more than ten times in succession.

For a time, the J-5 fighter jet held a clear advantage over aircraft such as the F-80 and F-84.

Faced with the overwhelming superiority of the J-5 fighter jet, the United States urgently deployed F-86As from its own territory to its base in the United States.

In early December, they moved to Gimpo Airport in South Korea, and Lin Hao, along with eight elite Blue Army trainees, appeared on the battlefield at this time.

Lin Hao made a personal appearance for two reasons, firstly because he had been on the front lines for a month and had not yet taken to the skies.

The main reason is that fighter jets like the Mustang are not worth his time, while the F-80 and F-84 are reserved for trainees to practice on.

Now that the F86 has appeared, Lin Hao definitely needs to be more cautious.

It should be noted that in the original history, the MiG-15, like the J-5, had an advantage over aircraft such as the F-80 and F-84 in the early stages, but the situation was quickly reversed after the F-86 entered the war.
