Chapter 629: Pilot

After all, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has a good reputation in Okinawa, and at the same time, Liang Jian and others have considerable prestige among the people of Okinawa, and the most important thing is that the Chinese army has guns in their hands...... The guns are out of power, the Japanese army has been defeated, and whoever does not accept it will be wiped out in minutes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The captain of the security team was Liang Jian's only remaining son, Liang Yi, and then organized a team of more than 300 people, and led a batch of 99-type rifles, grenades and other things seized from the Japanese army in the expeditionary force, and then established it after a little training.

The reason why the Japanese-style 99-type rifle is equipped instead of the American-style M1 rifle is mainly because Liang Yi and others are more familiar with Japanese-style equipment...... During the war years, especially the people under the rule of the Japanese army, they had a considerable degree of military quality, because at this time Japan was basically a soldier for all the people, and the people, both men and women, and even had military training in the junior high school curriculum, in the words of the Japanese, it was to fight a "war of jade fragmentation for the whole people"!

Liang Yiqi Zhang Chi has also seen a very shrewd young man, who is also proficient in Chinese.

When the Japanese army learned that the Liang family planned to contact the Chinese troops to come to search, they were squatting in the latrine, and Liang Yi jumped into the pit as soon as he turned over, so he escaped.

But at the same time, Liang Yi also clearly listened to the screams of the family outside, the arrogant laughter of the Japanese army, and the sound of gunfire.

Therefore, when Liang Yi knew that he was going to become the captain of the security team, he immediately grinded his fists and wanted to take his troops to the jungle to find the Japanese guerrillas......

Of course, Liang Yi's move soon attracted a scolding from Liang Jian.

It's reassuring to see Liang Yi relax like this, because at least ...... The people I chose to be the prefectural magistrate of Okinawa Prefecture and the captain of the security team were not those who had been brainwashed by the Japanese army or militarism, and they even hated the Japanese to the core...... Then, naturally, the subordinates they selected will not be brainwashed, so they will soon bring the direction of the wind over.

The US military does not care at all about these trivial matters...... In their eyes, these people were nothing more than half captives who consumed food, and if possible, they would prefer to put them in prisoner camps to manage.

While Zhang Chi and the Chinese troops were busy rebuilding Okinawa and restoring order, Stilwell led the U.S. military to build a base on the island...... The establishment of the air base is still relatively convenient, and it is almost as long as the few airfields left by the Japanese are expanded and perfected, and the naval base is more troublesome, because it is necessary to dock a large number of warships of the US Navy, and at the same time, these warships must also be able to easily protect the surrounding civilian ports from sneak attacks by Japanese submarines and suicide boats.

In the end, Stilwell chose Matian Island in the southern part of Nakagusuku Bay, which could control the port facilities of Naha Bay, Jinwu Bay, Goe Bay and the Kachin Peninsula at the northern end.

At the same time, in honor of the former commander of the 10th Army, Lieutenant General Buckner, Stilwell renamed this Naka Gusu Bay Buckner Bay.

And Stilwell was still an impatient, and when the aviation base and the naval base were not yet eyebrow-raising, he said to Zhang Chi: "Zhang...... It's time for me to remind you that it's time to get ready to train people! ”

"No problem!" Zhang Chi, who was busy reviewing the documents, replied: "They can be in place at any time!" ”

Zhang Chi's answer obviously surprised Stilwell, he pushed his glasses, turned his head to look at Zhang Chi: "Zhang, what did you just say...... Are they ready to be in place at any time? ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Do you know how many warships and planes we need to barely block Japan?"

Zhang Chi shook his head blankly, he really hadn't studied this aspect.

"We've done the math!" Stilwell said: "We have at least 200 reconnaissance, combat, bombing and other types of aircraft, and we need 50 warships!" ”

"So......" Zhang Chi didn't understand what Stilwell meant.

"If you need so many fighters, you need so many people!" Stilwell reminded: "I think the sailors are fine, I know that the cultural quality of the expeditionary force is high, and it is not a big problem to transfer people from them to operate the warship...... But fighters, you know, warships will float on the sea if they don't fly well, and if they don't fly well...... Then it fell from the sky! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise: "General, you mean to say that we need at least ...... Three hundred fighter pilots? ”

Zhang Chi guessed a big number: The fighter plane was piloted by one person, and the bomber and reconnaissance plane were mostly piloted by multiple people.

"No, at least five hundred!" Stilwell replied, "Because we're going to eliminate a batch in the process of training, and we also need some backup pilots!" ”

"I'm only about two hundred!" Zhang Chi replied.

This is when the expeditionary force was stationed in Rabaul, and began to train backup pilots for the Chinese Navy...... Because of the long training cycle of pilots, it is impossible to wait until the time is needed to hold on to training, so that the trained pilots will be sent to death even if they can fly into the sky.

Therefore, at the beginning of the formation of the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Navy's possession of fighters, the backup pilots have already entered the training cycle.

Stilwell raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, we're three hundred people short!" ”

Then, Stilwell picked up his pen and said as he did the math in his notebook: "The machine gunner and bombardier on the bomber can lower the requirements, but even so...... We also need, a hundred pilots! ”

"We don't have that many of us!" Zhang Chi replied helplessly.

The thought of the possible reduction of 100 fighters in the Chinese army as a result pained Zhang Chi's flesh.

"I know!" Stilwell replied, "So we have two choices!" ”

"Two choices?" Zhang Chi only knows one, and that is to let the US military pilots bear part of it.

"Yes!" Stilwell's first answer was the same as Zhang Chi's thoughts: "I can transfer a group of American pilots!" ”

"I want to know another option!" Zhang Chi said.

"Principal Jiang who is looking for you!" Stilwell said, "You know...... The Japanese captured two airfields in Guangxi, causing the Chinese Air Force to lose many fighters, and Chongqing was under Japanese bombing for a long time, and the pilots trained by the Flying Tigers were facing the dilemma of not having fighters...... That being the case, why not use these pilots where they are useful? ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be speechless.

With Principal Jiang's suspicion of Zhang Chi, how could Principal Jiang transfer such a valuable pilot to Zhang Chi.

And it's not just Zhang Chi who is facing this problem, but Stilwell's relationship with Principal Jiang is also very bad......
