"Linyi is in danger!" After Meng Xiang had just received the news from Zhang Lingfu that he had conquered Dongping and annihilated the 119th Wing and killed the captain of the wing, Ishida Jinzang, Meng Xiang didn't have time to ask about his own casualties, and the rat had already handed over an urgent telegram.

The devils on the Linyi side attacked very fiercely, especially the devils' artillery, which was carried out by those skilled veterans, and gave great damage to the defenders of Linyi.

"Shi Yousan's side blocked the road and prevented the reinforcements of the 41st Division from passing!" Rat II then passed the news.

Meng Xiang pinched the stubble on his chin: "Is it Lao Jiang's idea that Shi Yousan did this, or is it his own idea?" ”

"He doesn't have support?"

"His army is guarding the Yishui water, and it is still mainly based on guerrilla harassment!"

Meng Xiang pondered for a while before he said, "Don't let the ground pass, let's go to the sky!" I'll settle accounts with him later. ”

Four "Lightning Strike" bombers roared at the airfield in Weifang, and took off in the air.

When the plane stabilized, taking the opportunity to adjust the direction, Wang Jean turned sideways and looked down. The waving red ribbon in the distance was gone. Thinking of what his new wife was saying in his ear, he was not only in a trance.

"I already have it. I'm waiting for you to come back with my kids! On his wife's resolute expression, there were still tears on it.

Wang Jean performed an actual combat mission for the first time, and it was false to say that he was not nervous, he couldn't do it with the calm expression of instructor Feng Ba. Piloting the most advanced dive bomber in the country, and perhaps even in the world, he was not so scared in his heart, but more that the call of honor made his heart beat.

Because he has been training Stuka, even if he changes to the D-type, his results are the best among the new students, which is why he has this actual battle. This made him excited, and he has been a little excited until now.

Although his wife's words calmed him down a lot, he felt that it would be better to have a medal for his future children.

There was certainly a danger of dive bombers, but the bomber, named "Lightning Strike", was improved by the Pioneer Army technicians on the basis of the JU87A bomber, which was said to be a little more advanced than the JU87A. The last appearance in the air battle of Qingdao aroused the interest of the Germans, and at this time they were discussing joint development with the Vanguard. Of course, the Germans have always negotiated with Jian Er, and several other major forces also know the surname of Jian 2 and Jian Yi relative to the vanguard army.

Thinking of that supposedly, he couldn't help but think of his friend Chen Nianhua, a little man.

There was a lot of gossip about him, and even the Germans were already interested in the Thunder Bomber and were going to name it the Ju87D.

Of course, what Wang Jien didn't know was that although Chen Nianhua was just a big mouth at this time, the Germans did not long have the same name as the JU87D produced by this base by a surprising coincidence with history.

Now he couldn't help but look to the left, Chen Nianhua was driving the BF-109B behind the four P-47B Thunderbolt planes at this time, carrying out escort missions.

The Republic Aircraft Factory has been opened in the United States, but the chairman is not Sheversky, but an American who has not been involved in the specific management of the company for many years. The management on the surface is a Chinese named Ding Xuan, who is a good friend of Zhou Bai, and his management level is also very good. For the boss's letting go, he has been repeatedly discriminated against by race, and he naturally works very comfortably, but he doesn't know the true identity of the boss Twenty-nine.

In order to make deals with the Americans, some localization should be done. The exclusion and local protection of the Americans is one of the reasons why Meng Xiang's arms trade has always been unable to open up the situation in the United States.

With the identity of the twenty-nine American as the boss, there is significantly less resistance. Although the factory was opened, it did not produce the more advanced lightning. Because of the use of Chinese managers involved in the production of weapons, American intelligence officers once investigated the pseudonym Charles 29, but after checking his ancestors for 18 generations, they did not find anything unusual about him in the end, only knowing that he was a silent genius local aircraft designer. He is working on a twin-engine fighter every day, even named Lightning, to compete with Lockheed's similarly shaped aircraft, which was approved by the U.S. Army last year.

The real thunder and lightning appeared here in the vanguard army, and it was retained by Meng Xiang as a memorial.

But for other new aircraft, Meng Xiang has other nomenclatures, and has introduced the naming method of Fengyun Thunder and Lightning.

The FW-190 fighter, which was named Tempest, was being secretly tested.

The Germans already had a preliminary design of a star-type air-cooled engine for this aircraft, but it was not welcomed by the Luftwaffe, which liked in-line liquid-cooled engines, and was directly shelved. But this did not prevent this German classic fighter of World War II from being put into service in the Vanguard Army. Although 109b is still enough, Meng Xiang hopes to occupy the pit early.

When the storm looks like to the British's hurricane, Meng Xiang is still looking forward to it.

Also occupying the pit is the P-51 Mustang fighter named Tornado, because at this time there is only a not very advanced A type, compared to the high price of half the price, it is only researching and occupying the pit.

As for the deal with the Germans, Meng Xiang did not intend to give up, Huaxia needed an industrial base, and these Germans almost had them, and most of them were much better than the standards from Lao Maozi. In the future, when the Germans rob the whole world and rob a lot of wealth, he will have more reasons to trade.

The transport planes are all carrying cloud characters.

Now the only named transport aircraft is the C-47A transport aircraft that has negotiated a production license with the American Maike Company, and is directly named Xiangyun.

The cooperation from Huaxia has made Douglas see the broad prospects of this aircraft, and it has accelerated the cooperation with Maike Company.

It is not enough to count on the production capacity of the base to sell arms, and the issuance of production licenses and the collection of royalties are the calculations that will go the long way.

The Americans have no threat of war yet, and the demand for arms is not very sufficient, but it is good to occupy a pit first, as a classic transport aircraft of World War II, the future money is still quite bright.

As for Aunt Juncker, because it is a patent belonging to the Germans, because of the cooperation between the Thunder Bomber and the Germans, she has obtained the tacit approval of production, but there is no need to change the name. The boys of the transport brigade have become accustomed to calling this slow transport plane "Junker Lady", and outsiders are all "three-headed birds" all the time. Meng Xiang naturally won't draw snakes.

The bombers were all marked with the word thunder.

The JU87D was given the name "Lightning Strike".

The JU87D aircraft has a longer range of 1,200 kilometers than earlier bombers such as the JU87A, with a bomb load of 1,800 kilograms, and a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.

On top of that, the JU87D aircraft was equipped with a ton of armor in key areas, so that the Stuka was no longer a vulnerable firebird, at least it could withstand the blows of machine guns and small-caliber guns. Although it cannot be compared with the perverted Il-2, it is enough for the person himself, who has weak air defense.

The low losses of the last Qingdao air battle made Meng Xiang see the benefits. Compared with the slightly higher price, the lack of manpower is even more restrictive to the development of the vanguard army. In order to protect the safety of pilots to the greatest extent, this is the early appearance of the JU87D and the Republic Thunderbolt.

Meng Xiang also produced three more powerful "Tianlei", that is, the famous B-17 bomber in later generations. Although the test model of the Y-17 is also good, Meng Xiang is still worried about the defects, so he set the target for a later model, but the high price makes Meng Xiang grin, and the imaginary scene of a thousand planes bombing Tokyo can only be postponed. Meng Xiang also made up his mind, if the Tianlei fighter plane did not make up enough for a hundred, it would definitely not appear, and as soon as it appeared, he would give the devil a thunderous blow.

This sortie is just to support the battle in Linyi.

Although the B-17 bomber had a longer range and more bomb loads, it was not suitable for front-line support bombing as a high-altitude bomber. The JU87D, which can dive to ensure precision bombing, is more suitable. For the air defense force is weak, the ravages near the ground are even more refreshing.

Of course, there are 6 HS-123 attack planes flying in front of the devil infantry that are more effective against the devil infantry. After several excellent performances, the HS-123 has completely reversed the notion that monoplanes are better than biplanes. Although he didn't know that the Germans had been using this attack aircraft in World War II and had been unable to find a suitable replacement, he also understood why so many advanced supersonic aircraft and slow A-12 attack aircraft in later generations have always occupied a place in the United States. It seems that front-line support aircraft do not rely on speed, but on attack power and survivability.

Also accompanying the escort were 6 BF-109Bs, which are now the most expensive aircraft in the Vanguard. But with several sacrifices in air combat, Meng Xiang already planned to replace it, using overwhelming techniques to win the opponent and accumulate strength as soon as possible. Because maybe the next step for the vanguard army to face is the devil's navy soldiers. Their strength is stronger, and the surname of the new aircraft is not much worse than that of the B type, and on the premise of better technology, the air force of the vanguard army does not have much advantage. Producing a better plane has become Meng Xiang's solution.

This time, the Thunderbolt aircraft participated in the actual combat to prepare for this. He just wanted to test how powerful this strongest aircraft could be. For the sake of secrecy, all the people who drive the thunderbolt are phoenix warriors. Others didn't pay much attention to the uglier and clumsier plane. On the contrary, it was the ju87d named Lightning Strike that attracted the attention of a group of pilots, and this time the pilots who selected the attack mission almost quarreled.

Chen Nianhua has always been envious of Wang Jean's selection, and has been shouting for him to have a treat, champagne and victory cigars are indispensable.

Last time, a photo of Luo Yingde still holding a victory cigar in a dangerous situation was published in the Herald newspaper, which caused many pilots to follow suit, and for a while, this cigar produced by the Pioneer Army's cigarette factory was sought after.

Chen Nianhua took out a cigar from his pocket, which his wife stuffed into his personal pocket before he left, he put the cigar to his nose and sniffed it, and put it back in his pocket, his companion Feng Erbai was still silently paying attention to the terrain below.

Chen Nianhua looked at his focused expression, and was also glad that he had such a good companion. Regardless of solid technology and good temper, in addition to not being able to joke and not talking much, he is really a rare good comrade-in-arms.

"The destination is near!" Feng Erbai suddenly said, he has not yet participated in the training, but as ordinary people have received flight training and mastered the primary flying skills, he is still very competent as a deputy at this time.

Chen Nianhua looked down, and Yishui was like a strip of light shining with a little silver light in the sun.

"The enemy's artillery positions have been determined, coordinates **!" There was the sound of Feng Ba's prompt in his ears.

"Seven combat aircraft of the enemy were discovered! Escort formation attack! Lightning strike formations attack enemy artillery positions! HS-123 formations attack enemy infantry positions! ”

"You haven't flown those little devils yet?" Pang Bingxun said angrily.

Although the devil's artillery attack was sharp, it could still resist it with the buildings in the city, but the devil's plane did circle directly over the county seat, and if they were not careful, they killed one of their regiment commanders who commanded the front-line operations, and blew up the command post there, killing several staff officers.

Annoyed, he moved the four 40 anti-aircraft guns supported by the vanguard army to the city, bombarded the devil planes in the air, and cooperated with the four 40 mm Bofors air defense guns in Zhang Zizhong's army, and shot down a total of three devil planes in the past two days.

But the devil's plane also became cunning, trying to avoid the attack of the anti-aircraft artillery, and also cooperated with the army artillery to blow up Lao Pang's two anti-aircraft guns. The remaining two anti-aircraft guns have greatly reduced the threat to the devils, and there is only one anti-aircraft gun left in Zhang Zizhong's place. Lao Pang was planning to join forces with Zhang Zizhong's anti-aircraft gun and attack together, but he hesitated and didn't say anything.

"I'm in trouble!" Lao Pang looked at the sky and saw more than a dozen planes flying in the distance, so he couldn't help but prepare to withdraw the anti-aircraft guns and hide for the time being. lest this last bit of threat be blown up.

"That's the Vanguard plane!" One soldier lowered his binoculars and shouted happily.

When everyone heard this, they all looked up, and just in time to see the footage of a devil's Type 92 being exploded in the air at once by the thunderbolts of six 12,7 mm machine guns, and cheered in unison.

As if to celebrate this earth-shaking cheer, another Type 92 dragged down with black smoke. Raiden, who played for the first time, led 2-0.
