Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

After Li Yunlong finished the phone call with the headquarters, he called political commissar Zhao and others in. Also coming in were the various group leaders and some security personnel.

"Two good news to report: First, the headquarters commended us for annihilating a Japanese division in an organized manner and annihilating a large number of enemies. The commendation order was subsequently issued; second, our brigade can continue to expand, and is allowed to reach 90,000 people. The deputy chief of staff said it doesn’t matter if it goes beyond that.”

The brigade headquarters burst into warm applause. Whether it was commanders and fighters at all levels or security personnel, they were filled with excitement when they heard the news.

Li Yunlong raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone not to applaud in a hurry.

The applause soon stopped, and it seemed there was good news.

"In addition, our General Logistics Department has mastered the tank production technology, and the tank production line is under construction. Soon, we will have tanks!"

"Great! We're finally going to have a tank!"

"A year ago, the Japanese tanks came, and we could only use human lives to fill them. Now that we have tanks, we can also let the Japanese taste the feeling of being bombed by tanks!"

"Brigade commander, how do our tanks compare to the Japanese tanks?"

"You really know how to compete! The Japanese tanks can't even compete with our infantry fighting vehicles. How can they compete with our tanks?

The armor protection of our tanks is equivalent to a meter-thick steel plate. The fastest it can run on the road is 100 kilometers per hour; the fastest off-road is 70 kilometers per hour.

The caliber of the tank gun is 125 mm.

Also carries two anti-aircraft missiles and two anti-tank missiles.

There are two machine guns on top.

Think about it, which tank can compare with our tanks? "

"Wow! So powerful! Wouldn't it take just a few months to drive the Japanese out of China?"

"It's not that easy! The tank is a good tank, but who of you can drive it? And no one has experience in commanding tank swarms.

Moreover, this type of tank is still only on paper and is still some way away from production.

We all want to drive the Japanese out, what should we do?

By the way, no one knows how to drive a tank, so let’s learn; no one knows how to command a tank, won’t we know how to do it once we have a tank and fight two battles?

We can't just wait for others to support us. Oh, no one knows how to drive a tank, so we just wait for Jiang Wufa to send us people; no one knows how to command, so we just count on Xiong Da to send armored warfare experts.

You can't do anything just by waiting and relying on it!

We must be self-reliant, self-sufficient and self-development. "

After everyone thought about it carefully, it was indeed true, and their excited hearts calmed down a little. They all secretly made up their minds: they must study hard and make progress every day!

Li Yunlong continued:

“I plan to first recruit 90,000 troops and establish nine combined regiments.

Form another artillery regiment, and I propose that Yan Qinglai be the commander.

Zhang Dabiao was responsible for conscription. "

"Okay." Zhang Dabiao responded and made a note in his notebook.

"By the way, the anti-aircraft missiles were upgraded soon. Now one battalion can deal with 54 targets at the same time; the missile range is about two hundred kilometers."

Li Yunlong looked at Xiao Zhanwu and said.

Xiao Zhanwu's eyes lit up: "Brigadier Commander, when will the new missile system arrive?"

"Why are you so anxious? It will arrive when it is due. Don't worry, our brigade has so many important targets that need to be protected, and the new anti-aircraft missiles will be given to us first."

"That's good. Last time, two hundred enemy planes came all at once, and I was really nervous for a while.

It would be great to have this kind of missile system. As long as the Japanese plane takes off, it will be detected by radar immediately.

It is estimated that the Japanese planes were shot down even a hundred kilometers away! "

"Don't be too optimistic. The Japs are also making progress. Maybe by then, the Japs will have built an aircraft that can resist radar detection."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

However, the brigade commander was right, we should not be complacent. Moreover, no matter how good the equipment is, it still needs people to operate it, so you must learn quickly. "

Zhao Gang didn't speak for a long time, then he took over and said: "Old Li, I've been listening for a long time, why are we all trying to prevent Japanese planes? Why can't we build our own air force?"

Li Yunlong said with some confusion:

"Air force? Where do we have planes? Jiang Wufa does have some planes, but they have almost lost them all by now;

Omanrik and Xiong Da both supported some aircraft and pilots, but they were all on Jiang Wufa's side. "

Li Yunlong thought to himself: This old Zhao is incredible! Can you guess that the system can be redeemed for fifth-generation fighter jets?

Historically, it was not until the Japanese surrendered unconditionally that a group of Japanese pilots tried to sneak back from the peninsula and were intercepted and captured by our army.

One of them, a major, was inspired by our army's prisoner policy and helped our army establish the first batch of air forces.

During this time, six people from the southern uprising came and brought a transport plane, which was our earliest plane.

In 1941, the Eighth Route Army had no air force.

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "They say you have a lot of clever ideas, but I think they are exaggerated! How come you are so brainless sometimes?"

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead and said:

"Drone! An unmanned aircraft is also an aircraft!"

Xing Zhiguo also suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, I was shocked by our drones just a few days after I came to our independent brigade!

Later, Lao Li also figured out a way to use drones to fire artillery shells. "

"Old Xing, that's a missile! It's much stronger than a cannonball!"

"Whether it's artillery shells or missiles, as long as it can be used as a bomb!

Moreover, an air force formed by drones can also avoid casualties.

I just don’t know if it can engage in air combat? "

Li Yunlong said helplessly:

"We have a drone model that can be used in air combat, but no one knows how to use it. It also uses missiles instead of cannons to fight enemy aircraft.

Only a few soldiers can launch missiles to hit ground targets, and they are not yet skilled at it. As for launching air-to-air missiles, even I don't know the specific operation, so I have to figure it out slowly. "

"Lin Yuan Xianyu, why not retreat and build a net! We must first build up the air force and slowly overcome these difficulties.

We cannot give up when we see difficulties; nor can we just see the benefits of establishing an air force and not do it. "Zhao Gang said.

The brigade was quiet, everyone was thinking.

A few minutes later, Zhang Dabiao broke the calm.

“I think we can build an air force.

It is said to be a group, but the number of people is far less than that of a synthetic group.

With the combat effectiveness of our drones, 200 drones will be enough. Each drone is operated by three people in shifts.

Coupled with some other auxiliary personnel, the group has more than a thousand people. It doesn't take up much staff.

The problem is that we may not be able to find 600 soldiers in the entire brigade who can operate drones. "

Li Yunlong is quite optimistic.

“You don’t have to worry about drone operators, as long as you have a few backbones and put up a shelf.

If you don’t know how to operate it, you can learn it slowly, and you can drop a few drones at most. As long as there are no casualties, these equipments are a trivial matter! "

Xing Zhiguo also said: "This is great! I never thought that when I first arrived at the Independent Brigade, our brigade would have an air force. If I had known, I would have come earlier!"

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, I think we can do more work and leave this logistics work to Brigadier Xing.

From now on, Lao Zhao will be responsible for ideological and political work, cultural studies, relations with local areas, etc. His responsibilities are not light.

Recently, I am mainly responsible for requesting equipment from the General Logistics Department. "

Li Yunlong arranged the work accordingly.

"No problem! Just leave the logistics to me.

I think our flight group no longer needs 200 drones. Let’s get 270.

It is divided into three flying groups, with 90 aircraft in each group. Each group is divided into three squadrons. "

Xing Zhiguo is also a happy person, and he contributes to the great cause of anti-Japanese war. He will do as much as he can. This is not the time for modesty. No one cares about whether payment and income are equal.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had no objections. It was left to Zhang Dabiao to arrange the formation of the flying group.
