Chapter 803 Aircraft!

Time passed relentlessly and steadily.

More than half a month later.

The new regiment.

April [-]th, ten forty in the morning.

At the control tower of Dagu Town Airport, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou, Xing Zhiguo and others gathered together, and even the heads of the new second regiment Ding Wei and Kong Jie also rushed over.

Beside everyone, more than 30 battalion commanders from Xinyi Regiment were also present, almost crowding the entire control tower.

It can be said that all the officials of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi were present.

If the devil's plane came to drop an aerial bomb on the control tower of Dagu Town Airport, it would instantly kill the highest command of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

but.

Li Yunlong had already ordered the 20mm machine gun battalion, the 37mm anti-aircraft gun battalion and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun battalion, and hundreds of anti-aircraft firepower points were deployed at the airport and its surroundings.

Once the devil's plane entered the range of the airport, it would immediately be attacked by air defense fire like raindrops.

Li Yunlong made such a big battle today.

Because today is a special day.

In the past half a month, everyone in the new regiment headquarters can be said to be busy without touching the ground, but the results are also extremely gratifying.

First of all, the new regiment, except for the thousands of new recruits who are being trained, has completed the change of equipment, eliminating the Garland, Maxim and carbines, as well as Bren and Czech equipment.

Whether it is infantry, cavalry or artillery, they have all been equipped with Type [-] semi-automatic rifles, Type [-] submachine guns and Type [-] light machine guns.

The current infantry battalion of the new regiment is mainly equipped with five or six-type guns, M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns, M24 grenades, M1917 heavy machine guns, bazooka rocket launchers, and 20mm machine guns.

The artillery firepower of the infantry battalion has the M1 type 75mm mountain gun, 60mm and 82mm mortars.

It is very satisfying in terms of firepower.

In terms of infrastructure, the arsenal of Crouching Tiger Mountain has basically been dug out, and the mountain is hollowed out by the engineering battalion, which can withstand the attacks of the Japanese army's large-caliber heavy artillery and aerial bombs.

The oil depot and ammunition depot at Dagu Town Airport were built, and a large amount of aviation fuel and aviation bombs were stored.

The airports of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, as well as the Yangcun Airport of the Jindongnan headquarters, are also stepping up the construction of facilities such as oil depots and ammunition depots.

More than 100 large warehouses and 105 small warehouses were built. These warehouses are all constructed of reinforced concrete, which are extremely strong and can withstand the bombardment of the Japanese [-]mm cannon and the bombing of small aerial bombs.

The rebuilding work of the houses in Dagu Town is about to be completed, all of which are all reinforced concrete houses.

In terms of agricultural production, the wheat grown from the seeds of the new variety provided by Boss Chen is growing gratifyingly.

The new variety of corn seeds provided by Boss Chen has been distributed, and the common people are cultivating corn in cooperation with the chemical fertilizer factory in Northwest Shanxi.

The army also took the lead in building irrigation canals and opening up wasteland. If the weather is good this year, the grain output in Northwest Shanxi this year is conservatively estimated to be more than two or three times that of before.

在部队建设方面，新一团准备扩编的1个喀秋莎火箭炮营、1个重型榴弹炮营、1个105毫米榴弹炮营、3个骑兵营和4个汽车连的基干已经编成。

More than 1 recruits from the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment in exchange for American equipment have been arranged for training in the teaching camp.

The night before yesterday, Boss Chen suddenly sent Yan Shuangying to Zhaojiayu to inform Li Yunlong that at eleven o'clock this morning, the pilots of the Eighth Route Army would drive 50 planes back to Dagu Town Airport.

其中20架佩刀战斗机，20架A20攻击机，以及5架运输机和5架侦察机。

The current Dagu Town Airport can only accommodate so many planes, and it won't be able to accommodate any more.

The remaining 35 aircraft will not be delivered until the next batch of flight students returns, or after the construction of ammunition depots and fuel depots at other airports is completed.

Think of the upcoming 50 aircraft.

The most advanced aircraft in the world.

Everyone was almost impatient.

From now on, our Eighth Route Army will also have its own aircraft!

Li Yunlong looked at the watch in his hand, and never felt that the time passed so slowly, and the time of 10 minutes was so difficult.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at Xing Zhiguo who was at the side and asked, "Deputy Head Xing, go and ask if the radar is turned on? Can you see where our plane is?"

Everyone also looked at Xing Zhiguo in unison.

As early as a few days ago, Boss Chen arranged for a transport plane to bring back 50 radar trainees, a radar, and two high-power steam generators.

The operation of the radar requires power support, and two high-power steam generators are sufficient to support it, ensuring 24-hour uninterrupted power supply.

These radar students have already installed radars on nearby hills.

Radar is a good thing. With it, as long as the aircraft enters within a radius of 300 kilometers, it can be detected immediately, whether it is an enemy aircraft or your own aircraft.

Even if there are ghost planes flying from Beiping to Taiyuan, as long as they enter the radar monitoring area, they can be detected.

According to Boss Chen, this radar is also the most advanced thing in the world. Right now, even the most advanced American radar can only monitor an area with a radius of 250 kilometers.

"Yes, Captain."

Xing Zhiguo went to the telephone at the side and dialed the number of the radar station on the hill:
"What did you say?"

"okay, I get it."

"I'll report to the head of the team right now!"

Later, Xing Zhiguo reported to Li Yunlonghui with a smile on his face: "The report leader, according to the report of the comrades at the radar station, there are about 50 planes approaching rapidly in the south direction, and the distance is about 150 kilometers. They should be our planes."

Although each plane provided by Boss Chen is equipped with radio communication, all the pilots kept the radio silent in order to ensure concealment.

"coming!"

Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and smiled slightly.

In the southeast direction, with 50 planes, you can basically be sure that your own plane has arrived.

If the planes of the devils came to carry out air strikes, they would definitely come from the northeast, and there were not so many of them.

The Japanese air force suffered heavy losses, and Okamura Ningji, an old devil, was more cautious in using the air force.

"Ah."

Li Yunlong nodded, his expression was calm as usual, but his heart was already full of joy.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie on the side, as well as the battalion commanders of the Xinyi Regiment, had more and more anticipation and smiles on their faces.

Li Yunlong looked at the airport in front of him and said, "The Dagu Town Airport is still too small. There are only about 50 aprons and there is not even a hangar. Once it rains, our planes can only be exposed to the rain."

At the beginning, the airport was chosen to be built in Dagu Town because Zhaojiayu Airport was blown up by a devil's plane.

And Xinyituan needs an airport to receive the goods. The airport was originally built for receiving goods, and due to terrain restrictions, the airport area is not large.

"Old Li, where are you going to build the airport?" Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong.

"Heyuan County." Li Yunlong looked at the map on the table. "The terrain around Heyuan County is flat and suitable for building an airport. At least an airport with a capacity of 200 aircraft must be built."

"Isn't it just an airport that can accommodate 200 planes?"

Ding Wei spoke confidently:

"That's so simple, as long as Taiyuan is taken down, Taiyuan's Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport are enough to accommodate 200 planes."

"Taking Taiyuan?" Li Yunlong frowned and sneered, "Sooner or later."

Now that 50 pilots and 50 aircraft are about to be in place, Li Yunlong is considering attacking Taiyuan.

What is more troublesome is that the Japanese army reinforced 5 divisions in North China, plus the 41st Division of the Japanese First Army, the Japanese army in Shanxi now has almost 10 troops.

But it's not a big problem, you need to plan well.

It is not realistic to wipe out so many devils, but there is still a chance to kill some of these devils and drive them out of Shanxi.

"Chief, do you want to build an airport in Heyuan County?" Xing Zhiguo asked.

"It needs to be built!" Li Yunlong said firmly: "It needs to be bigger, at least 7 runways and 200 aprons, all of which are made of concrete. In the future, we will have more and more aircraft."

The expressions on the faces of the people were full of expectations. According to the rules, if you kill 500 devils, you can get one of the most advanced planes in the world. If you kill 5 devils, you can get 100 planes.

And kill the devil plane and devil pilot, you can also get the plane.

I'm afraid I can't even imagine the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's aviation in the future...

"Yes!"

Xing Zhiguo responded immediately:
"I'll start arranging this task later."

While everyone was chatting, the time passed quickly, and 10 minutes passed quickly.

At this moment, there were some buzzing sounds in the sky, the plane had arrived!

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others walked out of the control tower quickly, came to the lawn next to the airport, and raised their binoculars to look in the direction of the sound.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, I saw dozens of planes appearing in the southeast direction.

According to the photos provided by Boss Chen, Li Yunlong could tell at a glance that they were Saber fighter jets and A20 attack planes, as well as reconnaissance planes and transport planes.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this scene, the smile on Li Yunlong's face could no longer be suppressed, and the corners of his mouth were turned up, almost reaching the ears:

"Look, everyone, it's our plane."

All the battalion commanders of the new regiment looked up, with smiles and excited expressions on their faces.

A staff officer took a camera and clicked the shutter on everyone. The expressions and eyes of the people, as well as the actions of holding up the binoculars to look at the plane, were frozen.

It didn't take long for the planes to land one after another under the guidance of the ground crew, and slowly headed towards the apron after the speed slowed down.

When the last plane entered the tarmac, Li Yunlong looked satisfied. The boys' piloting skills did not disappoint him.
