Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

The next morning, the No. 1 permanent airport of the Qilu Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.

Under the dark night, hundreds of white woven lights tore through the darkness from far to near. They were neatly and orderly, and were heading to the northwest corner of the base.

At this time when everything should be quiet, the Air Force cafeteria was extremely busy, and the atmosphere was even as lively as the New Year temple fair.

In the kitchen, the three cooking squads had clear division of labor, and various cooking methods emerged in an endless stream.

Delicacies from different regions came out of the pot one after another, and the dishes on the scene were as rich as a high-level banquet.

"Everyone, let's work harder and try to make more than a dozen dishes. The comrades of the Air Force Third Division will be here soon, and we can't let the boys go to the battlefield hungry."

"Speed ​​up, speed up, we must eat on time!"

If you want to talk about which air force has the best food treatment, it must be the strategic bombing force. Especially the meal before the mission, the soldiers' meals are always particularly luxurious.

In the cafeteria, you can almost eat the specialties of the People's Republic. From state banquet dishes to street snacks, there is nothing that can't be cooked.

Compared with other major participating countries at the same time, this kind of logistical treatment is top-notch.

Even if the chefs of USAAF and RAF were present in person, they would have to admit that they were not as good as them.

At the same time, in the combat meeting room, LYL and several staff officers and intelligence officers were gathered at a table, and they were passing a document around with serious faces.

When a group of captains entered the room one after another, 103 silently counted the number of people in his mind, and then said:

"Take a seat first, some crews have not arrived yet."

"I know what everyone is thinking, and I know your guesses. When everyone is here, I will personally announce the final answer. So please keep quiet, comrades, and don't whisper in the meeting room."

The opening remarks of the head of the family made the originally agitated scene instantly become pin drop audible. However, from the almost excited eyes of the captains, it is not difficult to see how excited they are.

There is no way. The current air force is the branch with the most young men in the Eighth Route Army.

As the only unit with long-range strike capabilities, the young guys are always eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and to bring the war to the enemy's homeland.

After a while, all the participants were in place.

As if he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit too tense, 103 stood up from his seat and announced to everyone in a teasing tone:

"Before the briefing officially begins, I want to tell you one thing first, to be precise, it is a useless good news."

"Before, many comrades complained about the preserved fruits, disliked that they did not telegraph the whole country in April. For some reasons that are not convenient to say, the bald man himself sent a letter of commendation to the border area and the headquarters yesterday."

"In addition to verbal praise, the old man also sent 50,000 French francs and the formal establishment of three bomber squadrons."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and the meeting room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

50,000 French francs?

This broken thing was still somewhat useful last year. At least it could buy 500 pigs to improve the food for the disaster victims in Henan Province, and it could also relieve the pressure on the infantry experts.

However, with the current purchasing power of the French currency, it is still unknown whether it can buy 500 hams.

It is even more ridiculous to put it in the Air Force 3rd Division. It is not even enough for the fuel money for the entire division to go out together. Sending it out is just a fun thing after dinner.

The formal organization of the three battalions?

Sorry, we are not very interested in such a useless thing. You Baldy don't even pay the military salary, and these organizations are only useful in diplomacy.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene has eased a lot, 103 first nodded to the staff and intelligence officers, and then walked towards the wall with military maps. "Swish~"

The curtain was pulled down, and a bombing route map from Shandong Province to Kyushu Island in Japan came into view. In addition to the route, the enemy's reconnaissance and interception areas were clearly marked on the map.

"Comrades! The target of the Air Force 3rd Division tonight is the Sasebo Naval Base of the Japanese Navy!"

"We are going to bomb the Japanese naval factories that produce submarines and destroyers, forcing the enemies in Southeast Asia and even the Pacific to return to defense, so as to buy time for the Vietnam Aid Advisory Group."

"In addition, this operation can also make some extra money. In order to invite us to take action, the ugly people delivered four destroyers as commissions."

Kyushu is the base for Japan to carry out its invasion of CX, the Republic of China, and Southeast Asia.

In the plans of the border area and the headquarters, the Air Force 3rd Division will take the lead and attract the attention of the Japanese Navy through strategic bombing to help the Vietnam Aid Advisory Group share certain risks.

It is not certain how many times the mainland will be bombed, and the main force of the Combined Fleet is in the waters around Guadalcanal. If your Southeast Asian air force does not return to support, who will?

As for the transaction between the border area and the ugly country?

Hehe, this can be said to be a coincidence, but there is also a certain degree of layout.

Since War Fox and the Army Morale Wizard affirmed Huang He's strategic vision, he has participated in every overseas operation of the troops.

Just like the Doolittle Raid four months ago to cover the 3rd Air Division, the departure of the Vietnam Aid Advisory Group in August was also Huang's work.

If you are a little unlucky, then your own air force will bomb normally to attract the enemy's land and naval aviation to return to defend. If you are a little luckier, just like now, you can make a small profit.

There is no way, who let the border area in Asia be the only one who can help Ah Chou.

Besides! The cost of three Bensons plus one Fletcher is only 29.5 million US dollars.

To put it bluntly, the bombs used by the Air Force 3rd Division in a collective deployment are more than this price, how cost-effective.

······

Cheers, the cheers are deafening and resounding through the sky.

Hearing the details of the mission, the atmosphere in the combat meeting room instantly reached its peak. Even though LYL just emphasized the meeting discipline, the young captains just couldn't keep calm.

It's nothing, they didn't bomb enough last time.

Four months ago, the Air Force 3rd Division had only 100 Lancasters, and there was an unlucky crew who returned halfway due to mechanical failure. Bombing the enemy's homeland with a thousand tons of bombs is not fun at all.

In comparison, the situation this time is much better.

A total of 150 four-engine strategic bombers, plus the escorting Mosquito. This level of attack, not to mention the firepower reduction caused by the division of troops, is more or less a pleasure.

Well, a thousand-plane bombing is promising in the future.

After a moment, 103 first checked his watch to confirm the time, and then knocked on the table to maintain order.

"Okay, time is limited, be quiet. Every word I say next is important, everyone listen carefully."

"This operation is the first night bombing since the establishment of our Air Force 3rd Division. Don't have psychological pressure, just perform according to training."

"Remember, the results of the battle are not important, our goal is to force the enemy to return to defense."

"Compared to the German 3rd Division, the radar, ground air defense and night fighter of this unit are ridiculously weak. So, I hope to see all the crews return home safely at dawn."

"Understood!" (End of this chapter)
