Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1410, Sicilians are so awesome

"Commissioner."

"Chen Shanben, long time no see. Where have you been recently?"

"Reporting specialist, I have been at Lanzhou Airport recently."

"Then now is..."

"Commander Qian transferred us all back."

"Go back where?"

"Hankou Airport."

"good."

"Commissioner, I am responsible for sending you back to Hankou Airport."

"good."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Get on the plane. Then sleep.

Chen Shanben is driving a DC-3 transport aircraft.

Although not fast. But you can sleep. I can sleep for two hours.

ah…

yawn.

So sleepy…

So he lay down half-lying to sleep.

I vaguely felt someone approaching. Seems to be an acquaintance. But too lazy to open my eyes to see.

Anyway, it’s one of our own. There is no danger. rest assured.

I vaguely felt the plane take off, and then...

There is no more.

When I woke up, my head was groggy.

I thought I was sick. Later, I rubbed my face vigorously and gradually became energetic again.

Raise your wrist habitually. Look at your watch. Two o'clock?

Huh? Did you sleep until two o'clock in the afternoon? It should be the afternoon...

Turn around and look outside. It's daytime. That's right. It's two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Are you awake?"

A gentle and sweet voice came.

Look sideways. It was discovered that it was Shen Ming. oh. That acquaintance is her. Follow me and fly back to Hankou.

Several of them have reported to Song Ziyu. default. No status. Responsible for taking care of his life.

"This is pork bone and radish soup. You drink some first."

"good."

Zhang Yong brought it over.

Finished it in three gulps. Very delicious.

The key is adequate nutrition. Just right for the hungry.

"Why didn't you call me when you arrived?"

"Commander Qian said that you are sleeping so soundly, so don't disturb you. Let me wait beside you."

"All right."

stand up. Get out of the plane. Go and have a meal.

Dushanlong drove over and sent him to the restaurant. The meal has been prepared long ago.

wolf. Have a hearty meal.

It feels like the whole person has come back to life again. Full of energy.

Sure enough, he is a natural born cow and horse. Can work anytime and anywhere. No robot is as capable as I am.

etc…

Suddenly realized something.

Huh?

It's past two o'clock in the afternoon and the Japanese plane hasn't arrived yet?

Nothing happens to the empty finger map. It means that the Japanese aggressor planes have not been dispatched. Could it be that the Japanese planes are not coming?

If you don’t come by this time, it will be dark again soon! It was too late to return.

Since the Japanese planes are not coming, we can train on our own. Don't stay on the ground.

"Someone is coming."

"arrive."

"Order the tower to arrange for each flight group to conduct training."

"yes."

The staff officer went to deliver the order.

Zhang Yong immediately came to Commander Qian's office.

"Report."

"Come in."

Zhang Yong went in.

Commander Qian was sitting and dozing off.

Haha, as I get older, my energy is indeed not as good as that of young people.

In fact, Commander Qian is in his forties. But war makes people grow old. Many people look older.

Many heroic Huangpu students now have haggard faces.

"Commander, over there in Chongqing..."

"It was quiet. It was like nothing happened."

"Oh? No one went to complain to the commissioner?"

"The commission goes to Chengdu."

"oh."

No wonder. It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek also avoided it.

You can't find anyone to complain to. If you are not convinced, go find Zhang Yong!

It is said that Zhang Yong will be in Chongqing every night from now on. If anyone feels that he has been wronged, he can appeal to Zhang Yong!

"Have you met Doolittle?" Commander Qian changed the subject.

"No. Why are you looking for him?" Zhang Yong didn't understand.

"To Manila."

"What to do?"

"Bring Miss Ziyu back."

"Um?"

Zhang Yong was suspicious.

Pick up Song Ziyu?

Soong Tzuyu in Manila?

Didn't she follow Madam? Madam is in Manila too?

etc…

Why…

Oh, do you want to keep it a secret?

Therefore, we only mention Song Ziyu, not his wife.

Indeed, Madam’s flight back from Manila was not entirely without danger.

It should be noted that if the Japanese Navy's Malu is at Songshan Airport on Taiwan Island, it can intercept it if it launches the 96th Land Attack.

Flying back from Manila, you may have to stop by Guangzhou.

The distance between Songshan Airport and Guangzhou is only over 800 kilometers. Completely within the coverage of the Nine-Sixth Land Attack.

Of course, this possibility is very small.

Because my wife was flying on a military aircraft of the United States Navy.

Attacking the military aircraft of the United States Navy is attacking the United States Navy.

It is estimated that the Japanese invaders will not dare to do so for the time being.

"You are thinking too much." Commander Qian suddenly said.

"What?" Zhang Yong was puzzled.

"Madam is still in Washington. She hasn't come back. It's just Miss Ziyu who is back."

"ah?"

"When the time comes, you and Doolittle fly to Manila to bring her back."

"good."

"Depart from Chongqing Airport and fly directly to Manila. Then fly back. Land directly in Chongqing. No stops in between."

"good."

Zhang Yong quickly calculated the distance.

The distance from Chongqing to Manila is about 2,000 kilometers.

If it is a DC-3 transport aircraft, the range is no problem.

One way flight.

Come on down.

However, if there is a mechanical failure during such a long-distance flight, then no problem.

The ultimate speed of the DC-3 transport aircraft is about 300 kilometers. A one-way flight takes seven hours! Two people are required to operate in rotation.

Doolittle was an ace pilot and a test pilot who set many world flight records. Of course there is no problem with his flying skills.

Well, you seem a little excited when you think about going abroad for the first time?

In his previous life, he didn't even apply for a passport. I have never even been to Hong Kong and Macau. Not to mention going abroad.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, I could actually fly abroad directly.

Now it’s time to go to Manila. I might go to India in the future. Or Egypt.

Wasn't there a Cairo Conference?

That's an ultra-long-distance flight.

If there were no accidents, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife would also have to fly over the extremely dangerous hump route.

Technical problems are rather trivial.

Mainly intelligence.

Once the information is leaked, the Japanese fighter planes will definitely intercept it with all their might.

At that time, the hump route will definitely become the most dangerous battlefield. If he is targeted by Japanese fighter planes, he will become Isoroku Yamamoto.

Coupled with the conflict between Stilwell and Chiang Kai-shek, history is full of fog, and many things are really difficult to say.

"When do you leave?"

"I'll let you know when the time comes."

"good."

Zhang Yong agreed.

Since Madam hasn't come back yet, it must not be time to get married yet.

It was impossible for her not to be present in person when she married Song Ziyu.

so…

It can still be ridiculous for a while.

After you officially get married, you may have to restrain yourself a little.

After all, Song Ziyu acquiesced in all the absurdities he had made before. You can't be too scumbag yourself.

"Report."

"Come in."

A staff officer pushed open the door and came in.

His eyes fell on Zhang Yong.

"What's up?"

"Reporting to the Commissioner, Commander Gu Bafeng of the Military Police is looking for you."

"Oh. Okay."

Zhang Yong came outside to answer the phone.

It was indeed Gu Bafeng calling. He is also in Hankou.

"What's up?"

"Commissioner, a transport ship has arrived at the dock, saying that it is here to transport aircraft spare parts according to your order."

"Aircraft spare parts?"

"right."

"I'll go over and take a look."

Zhang Yong's mind moved. Is it arranged by the system?

At this time, send aircraft spare parts. It's really timely rain.

All types of aircraft at Hankou Airport need spare parts!

Put down the mic.

"Someone is coming."

"arrive."

"Notify Huang Zhicheng. And Yang Lichu. And other people in charge of the maintenance port. Follow me to the dock."

"yes."

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered. Then go to the dock.

There are military police and inspection teams at the dock. A transport ship with an ordinary appearance was surrounded. There are a dozen crew members on board. The radar map doesn't even show it. Sure enough, the system arranged the delivery.

The transport ship actually flew the Italian flag.

"Shao Long."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhang Yong patted Gu Bafeng on the shoulder.

Then all military police and inspection teams retreated. Hand over the transport ship to the air force.

"Commissioner."

"Hello."

Zhang Yong signed for it.

The list was found to be very general.

There is no specific model.

Get on board.

Check carefully.

fine. Parts have model numbers on them.

After careful checking, various spare parts can still be accurately classified.

"These are from BA-65 fighter jets."

After preliminary verification, it was found that there were many models. But it only corresponds to one type of aircraft.

Yang Lichu was very happy. The people responsible for the maintenance of BA-65 fighter jets are also happy. However, others were a little disappointed.

Especially Huang Zhicheng. There are no spare parts for the Martin-139WC bomber on the transport ship.

"Wait while I continue to think of a solution." Zhang Yong comforted the other party.

"Did the Sicilians get it for you?" Yang Lichu interrupted. She knew those Sicilians.

"Yes." Zhang Yong nodded. Decisively associate delivery with Sicilians. Italian plane. Sicilian. Perfect excuse.

Sure enough, Yang Lichu was convinced.

These planes were originally brought by Sicilians.

Now, the Sicilians are getting spare parts. Isn’t that logical?

"With these spare parts, at least six BA-65s can be reassembled." Yang Lichu said slowly.

"So many?" Zhang Yong was overjoyed.

"If the plane wreckage from Xi'an Airport is transported, more can be assembled."

"Good. Good. Good."

Zhang Yong is looking forward to it very much. I hope it's true.

It would be great if more BA-65 fighter jets can really take to the skies.

Its speed and firepower make it ideal for airport defense.

In short-range combat, no one can defeat you.

Unless the BF-109 fighter jets arrive. Otherwise, sweep across the sky.

Whether it is the various fighters of the Japanese invaders or the Soviet I-15 and I-16, they are no match for the BA-65.

Happy.

BA-65 is his direct descendant!

I made it myself. It has been firmly tied to his name Zhang Yong.

I hope it lasts longer...

Suddenly, my mind moved. Another mediocre transport ship arrived. Also flying is the Italian flag.

The transport ship docked. Zhang Yong stepped forward immediately. Sure enough, the system arranged delivery again.

What was delivered this time were spare parts for the Martin-139WC bomber. But not many.

All other spare parts are from Hawker-3 type. The quantity is relatively large. A boat full of them.

"Great! Great!"

Huang Zhicheng was very happy. Finally there are spare parts.

Otherwise, he, a maintenance director who became a monk by the wayside, would be too clever to make a meal without straw!

After all, demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall will not last long.

In particular, the inventory of Martin-139WC is very small, only five. Disassembly is limited.

But the spare parts sent on board seemed to be able to keep all five bombers in perfect condition.

In other words, all five aircraft can be dispatched.

No wonder he was excited.

This is a huge combat power!

Especially under the command of Zhang Yong. Can work miracles.

Five bombers, loaded with aerial bombs, with a range of more than 1,800 kilometers, this is no child’s play!

"good…"

Zhang Yong was also very happy.

The BA-65 can only be used in defensive operations.

If you want to attack, you need a long-range bomber like the Martin-139WC.

Five aircraft formation.

Flying over the East China Sea.

Bring death greetings to the Japanese invaders homeland.

You can get ahead of Doolittle and let the Japanese invaders taste the taste of bombs falling from the sky.

"Great! Great!"

Others are happy too. Hawker-3 also has spare parts.

After all the spare parts are replenished, there should be at least ten Hawk-3s ready to return to the sky.

The key is that this number can be maintained. No more demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall.

"Your Sicilian friends are really amazing." Yang Lichu said with emotion, "You can actually get so many aircraft spare parts."

"I bought it for a lot of money." Zhang Yong said in a low voice, "Those guys are very ruthless in asking for money."

"You can buy it now and have it delivered to your door, so just be satisfied."

"So, we have to work hard to make money!"

Zhang Yong complained in a low voice.

In fact, it was just for Yang Lichu.

She would certainly tell Madame what she said. Then the lady knew.

Then Chiang Kai-shek will definitely know. And then...

You can make money safely by yourself.

Make sure no one stops you.

The most important thing is that the Sicilian channel is a very suitable excuse.

The lawlessness of those guys is also known to outsiders. As long as they have money, they really dare to do anything. Perfectly in line with Zhang Yong’s statement.

"And oil, too."

"real?"

"Of course. Otherwise, where would I get so much oil?"

"Very good."

Yang Lichu was convinced.

No oil will fall from the sky. There must be someone secretly helping Zhang Yong behind his back.

No one but the mysterious Sicilians who fear no one. If others can get fifty fighter jets, of course they can get oil.

"But don't get to the bottom of it. Otherwise it will be counterproductive."

"clear."

Yang Lichu nodded.

Of course, we turn a blind eye to the business that is wandering on the edge of darkness.

Everyone pretends not to know. Tacitly.

…

"Ah sneeze!"

"Ah sneeze!"

Tanavaro, who was far away in the Shanghai Concession, sneezed desperately.

Secretly puzzled. What happened to you today? Why can't I stop sneezing? I don’t seem to have done much recently...

Oh, those Japanese don't look at me anymore. Must tidy up.

Damn the Japanese, do they think that by having a relationship with Mussolini, they dare to **** benefits from themselves?

We must tell the other party sternly that we do not buy Mussolini’s fault!

We are Sicilians. We only care about money!

…

Return to Hankou Airport.

It's almost time again. I’m going to Chongqing again.

The Japanese plane did not come. I definitely won't come today. Otherwise, it will be impossible to return safely.

Ready to go.

A staff officer came in a hurry.

"Report!"

"What's up?"

"Mr. Commissioner, Commander Qian, please wait a moment."

"What's the matter?"

"Please take Chief Xue Yue to Chongqing along the way."

"Xue Yue?"

Zhang Yong's mind moved.

Is he also in Hankou? I didn’t know that before!

What did he do in Chongqing?

Maybe he was waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to come back and then give him instructions face to face.

Is the high command considering the Wuhan battle?

Time waits not for us!

The Japanese invaders are gathering strength. A new attack will be launched soon.

Calculating the time, it seems that it is only a few months away from the battle in Wuhan.

In this battle, both sides invested a total of millions of troops. It was an unprecedented battle!

"good."

So wait.

Ten minutes later, Xue Yue came.

Easy to follow. He only brought two combat staff officers. They all looked serious.

Also accompanying him was Yu Jishi, commander of the 74th Army. I guess I also went to Chongqing for face-to-face training. The smell of war came to my face.

"Commissioner Zhang."

"Sir Xue."

"Commander Yu!"

The three of them briefly greeted each other.

Zhang Yong and Yu Jishi met during the Battle of Jinling.

But he and Xue Yue have always been separated. Until today, it was the first time the two met.

No pleasantries were exchanged.

Xue and Yu were both in heavy moods.

Maybe he is not too optimistic about the upcoming battle in Wuhan?

On the Songhu battlefield and Jinling battlefield, the elite national army suffered heavy losses. Haven't recovered yet.

As the first-class main force, the 74th Army originally used German weapons. Officers and soldiers are also accustomed to using German equipment.

However, now, the German military trade has stopped, and weapons and ammunition are not available. Probably need to change clothes. It needs to be replaced with Soviet-style equipment.

This is not simply changing a gun.

Involving a variety of weapons. All officers and soldiers must be retrained.

During the lean period, combat effectiveness is greatly affected.

In fact it is.

In the historical Battle of Wuhan, although the number of national troops was large. But the general combat effectiveness is very poor. It is far worse than the Battle of Songhu.

It takes a year to go up to the high battle and gradually become familiar with Su weapons, and then the combat effectiveness gradually recovers.

Then the problem came again. Two years later, I started to change my art equipment again. Officers and soldiers must become familiar with new weapons. Very frustrating.

Without its own standard weapons, it is impossible to be self-sufficient, that's all.

"please."

"please."

Take off.

Direct flight to Chongqing.
