Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

“There are so many models, it’s a bit difficult to choose…”

Captain Li was in a dilemma.

After reading the aircraft information sent by Boss Lin, everyone fell into deep thought.

“It’s really hard to choose.”

Zhao Gang nodded.

He thought that Boss Lin had only sent information about a few types of aircraft.

But I didn’t expect…

Fighters, attack aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft, each has 10 models of aircraft for the new regiment to choose from, and each model is equipped with a picture.

There were Soviet, German, American, and even Japanese troops.

Of course, some models are not even equipped by the armies of these countries.

Although Li Yunlong had read some theoretical books on air supremacy, he had not done much research on aircraft models and performance.

For a moment, he really didn't know how to choose.

Ding Wei said: "We don't want aircraft like the German Stuka attack aircraft, the Soviet Il-27 fighter, and the aircraft currently equipped by the US military, so as to avoid causing international disputes."

"We don't want the Japs either," Kong Jie added. "Although I don't know much about airplanes, judging from the performance data, the Japs' planes are just junk."

The information not only contains pictures, but also various performance data of the corresponding aircraft.

The Japanese aircraft were very advanced compared to the Eighth Route Army and even to the National Army, but compared with other National Army aircraft, they seemed a bit lagging behind.

Zhang Dabiao said: "The Japanese still have some good stuff, such as this Zero fighter. The data looks good. The maximum range is over 3300 kilometers. It is equipped with two 2mm cannons and two 20mm machine guns. The firepower looks pretty good."

It was already late February 1940. The Japanese Zero fighter had successfully completed its maiden flight in April of the previous year and was now equipped with the navy.

This point is clearly stated in the information.

A staff officer suddenly had an idea: "How about we use the Japanese Navy's Zero fighters to fight the Japanese Army's Type 1 and Type 97 fighters?"

Type 1 fighter, also known as Nakajima fighter, also known as Hayabusa fighter.

Like the Type 97 fighter, these two fighters were the main fighters of the Japanese army.

However, these two types of fighter jets did not appear in the aircraft information for Li Yunlong and others to choose because of their poor performance data.

"The number of aircraft is limited." Li Yunlong shook his head. "We can choose more advanced ones."

Choosing the Zero might cause internal strife between the Japanese navy and army, but the probability is relatively small.

However, judging from the aircraft data, there are several fighter jets with better performance than the Zero.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and asked, "So, for this plane, should we let Boss Lin choose, or should we choose it ourselves?"

"Let's choose for ourselves. If Brother Lin chooses for us, we can just choose and send it to us."

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "Damn it! Apart from the Japanese planes and the planes currently in service in other countries' armies, all the other planes look good. It's like choosing a wife, all of them are beauties. I'm almost dazzled by the choices, it's really damn hard to choose."

Zhao Gang sighed, "But this shows that Boss Lin is truly powerful. He can provide us with both aircraft currently in service with the national army and aircraft developed by his arsenal."

"Old Li, such a thigh." Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong, "You better hold on tight!"

"Of course." Li Yunlong snorted, "Brother Lin, when he came to our New 1st Regiment, I always treated him to good wine and good food."

"How about choosing the P51 fighter?" After a pause, Li Yunlong said, "nicknamed Mustang. I like this name."

As he spoke, Li Yunlong took out the information about the P51 fighter jet, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to the information.

After reading the data, Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up and he said, "This fighter is good. It has high speed, long range, and powerful weapons."

Anything produced by the Dog System must be of high quality.

The P51 was optimized for production, with improved and enhanced engine performance. Compared to the stock Alisson V-1710 liquid-cooled engine, the new engine is significantly lighter, more powerful, has lower fuel consumption, and better heat dissipation.

In terms of weapon systems, this aircraft has also been modified to be equipped with four 4mm machine guns, which have stronger firepower and longer effective range.

In terms of bombs, it can carry 200 kilograms of aerial bombs and 10 rockets, which maximizes its firepower.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also nodded in agreement with their eyes wide open.

"Then it's this Mustang fighter."

Seeing that no one had any objection, Li Yunlong made the final decision with a satisfied look on his face.

"Next, it's the attack aircraft."

Li Yunlong took out the information about attack aircraft and began to select.

At present, Boss Lin only provides attack aircraft options, but no medium bombers or heavy bombers.

However, it is enough for the battle to attack Taiyuan.

"This attack aircraft looks great!"

After a series of selections, Li Yunlong finally came up with a list of attack aircraft that he believed had excellent data in all aspects:

"An A-1 attack aircraft, with a maximum speed of 600 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 2500 kilometers, four 4mm cannons, and a bomb load of 20 to 2 tons. It can carry air-to-ground rockets, napalm, aerial bombs, and even torpedoes."

Li Yunlong spoke with emotion.

Today's Li Yunlong is no longer the old-fashioned man he used to be. After systematic study, he naturally knows that rockets and torpedoes are good things.

"At this speed, the Japanese fighter planes can't catch up at all. We don't even need fighter planes to escort us. We can carry out bombing missions alone." Ding Wei's eyes lit up.

After a pause, Ding Wei praised again: "Old Li, you have a sharp eye, and you only pick out the best things!"

"Let me just brag a little bit," Li Yunlong said with a chuckle. "Everyone here, no one knows more about airplanes than me, Old Li."

"That's it!"

Uncle Kong didn't care about Li Yunlong's bragging and spoke excitedly.

Next, Zhao Gang selected a transport plane and a reconnaissance plane.

Zhao Gang also had a keen eye and chose a reconnaissance aircraft improved from the P38. As always, the dog system improved and enhanced the engine performance, with lower fuel consumption and stronger performance.

This thing is a fighter jet in the eyes of the Americans. Yamamoto Isoroku was killed by it.

配备一挺20毫米机炮和4挺机枪，可以携带1.5吨航空炸弹或10枚127毫米火箭弹。

Just turn up the firepower to full.

The transport aircraft also has excellent performance in all aspects, with long range, high speed and a load capacity of up to 3 tons.

In terms of the number of aircraft, Li Yunlong made the final decision and directly decided on 20 Mustang fighters, 30 A-1 attack aircraft, 10 P38 reconnaissance aircraft, and 3 transport aircraft.

After all, he only had the price tag for 63 planes.

"Send this telegram to Boss Lin immediately."

Li Yunlong personally drafted a telegram about the selected aircraft models and quantities and handed it to the communications company commander Xiao Zhang.

"Old Li, when are we going to attack Taiyuan?"

Ding Wei asked impatiently.

Kong Jie was grinning from ear to ear.

With air support, the combat effectiveness of the three regiments in Northwest Shanxi will be substantially improved! (End of this chapter)
