I thought that Liao Fan's original purpose in creating the Airborne Forces was to block the road for the Japanese army to retreat to the Bangzi Peninsula!

Then the result is obvious, the Airborne Forces must participate in this war, and they will play a very large role! Since the airborne troops are going to participate in the battle, how can their air force be idle, first of all, the transport planes have to rely on the planes of their air force, and the transport planes need to escort the planes, so they need to use fighter planes.

The result is obvious, that is, the Air Force will definitely be on the battlefield in this battle!

According to Du Yuming's words, Huang Changsheng thought of Liao Fan's purpose of forming the airborne troops, and then contacted their air force, Huang Changsheng was instantly relieved in his heart, how could their air force not fight.

"Commander Huang, let's prepare well, what Brother Fan wants is just to make you sacrifice fewer people!"

The purpose of this inspection of the combat effectiveness of the Air Force and the Airborne Forces is very simple, in addition to evaluation, that is, to see if they can take the lead on the battlefield within Liao Fan's planned time.

"Looks like my worries are a little unnecessary!"

"Okay, take the troops with you, I'm going to Taihang Mountain to see the Airborne Troops! If they can meet Brother Fan's expectations, it is estimated that the time for this counterattack is just around the corner! ”

After inspecting the Air Force, Du Yuming also went to the airborne troops in Taihang Mountain to have a look! The Airborne Forces are very different from the Air Force, not because of the types of troops, but because a group of soldiers and officers of the Airborne Forces have already carried out airborne operations during the formation of the Airborne Forces.

Experience is very important for a new force to move quickly into regularity and to avoid detours and irreparable mistakes at critical times.

Therefore, after Du Yuming arrived at Taihang Mountain, the training subjects of the airborne troops were almost the same as those of ordinary infantry training, but they were stricter than those of ordinary soldiers! Of course, there are some training venues that the infantry does not have, such as anti-vertigo training, and simulated parachute training.

In addition to the fact that there are not enough aircraft, it is clear that this unit has become a capable force! After all, the Airborne Forces, in the end, are still to be used as infantry, and they are Jedi infantry who are surrounded by enemies, and they must be stronger than infantry.

However, Du Yuming found a problem, that is, although there are four airborne divisions, there is a lack of unified command! Of course, they directly obeyed Liao Fan's orders, but don't forget that the troops managed by Liao Fan were not just airborne troops.

If these four divisions are airdropped behind enemy lines to fight, it is easy to lack unified scheduling, which means that it is difficult to cooperate! Fighting under the encirclement of the enemy was already a very difficult thing, and if the four divisions of the company lacked coordination, it would make the operation even more difficult.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Du Yuming's perspective as an officer is that there is no problem with the Jedi, and even the airborne troops are already at a very high level in the combat effectiveness of the infantry level, especially the quality of the soldiers.

He didn't stay long in Taihang Mountain, and Du Yuming returned to Luoyang and reported to Liao Fan everything he had seen.

"Any good suggestions for the problems you're seeing?"

After this trip, Du Yuming definitely did not go in vain, if he sees it, he must think of it, and since he thinks of it, he must have his own solution to the problem.

"This assessment made Commander Huang very anxious, as for the reason for the anxiety is very simple, it is the lack of air force combat experience, although we now have a very advanced aircraft, whether it is from the air force establishment or pilots, we are too young, maybe the pilot is not afraid of tigers, but if you really meet experienced local pilots, I am afraid it will ......."

"I'm afraid that no matter how good the plane is, it won't work!" Liao Fan said what Du Yuming didn't dare to say.

Du Yuming's opinion is indeed not wrong, a good aircraft needs excellent pilots to match, just like the combination of software and hardware, if the hardware is good enough, the software is a pile of garbage, and a computer with it will not be satisfactory.

"We have no way to solve the problem of young pilots, the reason is very simple, there are few planes and there is no war, and it is not enough to train the best pilots by relying on less than five hours of flight training time in a month!"

Those ace pilots in World War II all relied on their strength to shoot down several enemy planes by themselves! And Liao Fan gave them the opportunity to train the Air Force, and they were just playing a supporting role in this war, the little devils had no planes available, and the fighters had no opponents.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how could Liao Fan not know where the shortcomings of his troops were, or the same sentence, Liao Fan lacked time and time to become stronger.

As long as they are given enough time, not to mention the pilots, the shuttle plus the astronauts they will have.

"Any other questions?" Liao Fan asked.

"The Airborne Forces are very powerful, but they lack a unified command, and no matter how powerful the troops are, if they lack a qualified commander, they will only become chaotic."

Liao Fan has never assigned a unified commander to the four airborne divisions.

"How about sending you to be their commander?"

When Du Yuming was transferred to his side, Liao Fan had already planned to hand over the four divisions of the Airborne Forces to Du Yuming for unified command! As the Airborne Forces mature, the future Airborne Counterparts will be formed in each military district, rather than being separate and independent.

"Me?"

"What? Not confident in yourself? ”

Of course, there are very officers who can lead the airborne division in terms of ability, but in terms of qualifications and combat exploits, Du Yuming deserves it.

"Okay, don't hesitate, I officially appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Airborne Forces, confer the rank of general, and report to Taihang Mountain tomorrow!"

Since receiving the order, Du Yuming has been in a state of confusion! After this inspection, he didn't do anything, and in the blink of an eye, he became the commander of the Airborne Forces, as if everything was like a dream.

Now that the orders have been given, he has no choice but to obey them! However, before going to Taihang Mountain to take office, he had to arrange all the work at hand.

"General Du hasn't reacted yet, is that okay?"

Commander-in-Chief Zhu looked at Du Yuming when he was packing up his things, sometimes he was so stunned, as if he had suddenly lost himself! It all happened so fast that it wasn't like the real thing.

"There's nothing good or bad, he's very capable and well-deserved, and there's no one more suitable than him!"

Airborne operations behind enemy lines, this operation is bound to be a very dangerous operation, maybe the airborne troops will go to the Stick Peninsula, looking at the whole country, there are not many who want to do these things well!

Of course, those few must stay in the country to help Liao Fan stabilize the troops and deal with emergencies in other aspects.

"You just believe in your ability to see and understand people?" Commander-in-Chief Zhu asked.

"I don't have the ability to see and recognize people, they are all people who have proven themselves on the battlefield! Just like Commander-in-Chief Zhu, you are all people who fought on the battlefield, what else do you need to see and recognize people to distinguish them? ”

Du Yuming and the others have already made a name for themselves on the battlefield, but after the peaceful establishment of the country, there are not many opportunities to go to the battlefield, so their greatest ability has not yet been revealed, as long as they are given a little chance, they will definitely not retain their ability on the battlefield.

"Hmm...... I'm worried that there will be no war in the future, how will you use people! Commander-in-Chief Zhu said with a smile.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and when the time comes, my eyes will be closed, my legs will kick, and I won't have to worry about anything, and I still have to worry about how to use people?" Liao Fan also laughed and teased himself.

He has roughly paved the road for the country to take, if people who are really capable will go on step by step, if they really don't want to have a strong country, what is the use of Liao Fan's arrangement?

"Do you want me to talk to General Du?"

"There's nothing to talk about, it's not a short time to follow me, Bai Chongxi has gone to the Northeast Military Region, if Du Yuming can't figure it out again, it's useless for others to say anything!"

Du Yuming has experienced no less things than Liao Fan, but he is not as lucky as Liao Fan, and the matter about the transfer is not a big deal for Du Yuming at all.

His biggest thing now is to think about how to get along with the airborne troops, coordinate the four airborne divisions, and then familiarize himself with airborne operations as soon as possible.

Du Yuming suddenly became the commander of the Airborne Forces, which surprised many people, but the happiest was Huang Changsheng, who was still anxious, but after hearing Du Yuming's appointment, he snored and opened his eyes.

"Signal soldier, call General Du and tell him that I have prepared a table of good wine and food at home, and this is a private party and does not involve official business!"

At the beginning, Du Yuming came to him to assess the combat effectiveness of their air force, which made Huang Changsheng nervous and anxious for several days! But I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, within a few days, they became grasshoppers on a rope.

Whether their air force can participate in this battle depends on the performance of the four divisions under Du Yuming, if they perform well, Huang Changsheng will follow to eat meat, if the performance is not good, Huang Changsheng will also be uncomfortable.

Encountering such a good opportunity, Huang Changsheng naturally refused to let go of the communication with Du Yuming, and talked about Du Yuming well.

"Hey~ This meal is even more Hongmen Banquet than Hongmen Banquet!"

After receiving Huang Changsheng's invitation call, Du Yuming really didn't feel good in his heart, a few days ago he was still persuading Huang Changsheng to relax, but a few days later, the same thing fell on his head, and this meal was not eaten or not.

When I went to the banquet, I would inevitably be stimulated by Huang Changsheng, my heart was blocked, and I didn't go to eat, the planes of their airborne troops were all from the Air Force, Huang Changsheng didn't nod, they would have no planes available.
