Chapter 520: Counterattack, bombing the Japanese airfield

Jiang Hao pondered for a while and said: "Chairman, I only have a little personal relationship with President Roosevelt, but it is impossible to say that I can influence national politics. ”

"But I can write a letter about the situation in the country, and I hope I can do my part."

Lao Chang naturally understood, and nodded.

Suddenly, Lao Chang looked up at Jiang Hao and said: "Jiang Hao, you are also a son and daughter of China, you have come to defend the country and participate in the war, you are interested in joining the Kuomintang Party, I can grant you the rank of major general, the post of deputy commander of the Air Force." ”

Jiang Hao was slightly startled in his heart, and then he understood Lao Chang's intentions.

To give benefits, naturally he wants to get more benefits and let him obediently work for him, Jiang Hao shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, I am afraid that I will live up to your good intentions, my identity is an American mercenary, if I become a general of the national army, then my nature will change." ”

This was rejected, and Lao Chang's face showed a slight look of displeasure.

"Jiang Hao, Meiling seems to have something to do with you, you go and meet her, hehe, it should be a good thing." Lao Chang said with a smile, he is worthy of being a politician, his ability to adjust his mentality is really strong, and he can turn his face into a smile.

No matter what his later successes and failures were, it cannot erase him as a pivotal figure in modern Chinese history.

Even on Baidu Encyclopedia, it is marked as "famous politicians and military strategists in modern Chinese history".

"Yunong, take Jiang Hao to Madame's box." The old man commanded.

"Yes, Chairman, Mr. Jiang Hao, please."

Dai Li took Jiang Hao out of the door, the old man sat on the sofa and didn't know what he was pondering, closed the door, Dai Li took a deep look at Jiang Hao, and then took Jiang Hao to another room.

"Bang Bang!"

I knocked on the door three times, and the sound of "please come in" came from the door.

The door opened, and there was immediately a woman's laughter, it seemed that there were still a lot of women, Jiang Hao walked in, Mrs. Meiling saw Jiang Hao coming, and immediately said with a smile: "After talking, Jiang Hao is here, I will introduce you to a few virtuous women." ”

Jiang Hao swept his eyes, in addition to Mrs. Meiling, there were four other women in the house, all of them were dressed fashionably and had delicate faces, they were considered beauties of this era, and they were not inferior to modern stars at all.

Jiang Hao stepped forward, and several women stood up,

"Jiang Hao, this is Yan Chengmei, his father is the president of Commerce Bank, 18 years old this year, this is Pan Su, his father is the president of the Republic of China Painting Academy, 21 years old this year, this is Guo Wanqing, 20 years old this year, is the fifth lady of the Guo clan in Yong'an, this is Zhou Xuan, but the famous singer, this year is only 19 years old."

During the introduction, Jiang Hao's gaze swept over the faces of several women, and I have to say that she is really the most beautiful woman in this era, and she is also pure natural, unlike later generations, which are all industrial products sorted out by the four evil arts.

Several girls also looked at Jiang Hao boldly, Jiang Hao looked handsome and calm, his eyes showed a sense of perseverance and wisdom, handsome but without a trace of flirtatious cream, he had experienced so many worlds and things, sharpened Jiang Hao, and made him have a mature and atmospheric demeanor, very manly charm.

"Jiang Hao, they have all heard about your deeds, dedicated to the country, formed a flying regiment to return to China to participate in the war, and as soon as you come back, you will achieve a big victory, inspiring, they all admire you very much." Mrs. Meiling said.

This lady Meiling is a truly shrewd person, and it seems that she wants to keep herself in this way.

After Mrs. Meiling finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Okay, you are all young people, talk more together, talk about your life ideals, and I'll go see the chairman." ”

Mrs. Meiling left, leaving Jiang Hao and the four women, the atmosphere was delicate, Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Let's go outside and dance." ”

"Okay." Several women said.

Came to the banquet hall, where there were endless singing and dancing, Jiang Hao accompanied a few women to dance a few dances, chatting a few words during the period, to be honest, Jiang Hao really didn't know that they were good family girls, or even spies of the military commander, and besides, he didn't have this mind now.

After the ball, Jiang Hao left with people, and he didn't mean to show mercy at all.

......

Following

Zhou Zhirou, Zhigarev and Jiang Hao sat in the office, Zhigarev said: "I have a plan, Jiang Hao's aircraft squadron is coming, it is a great supplement to us, we can't always sit still and respond passively, I propose to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army and bomb their airfield." ”

After Zhigarev finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Hao and Zhou Zhirou, and Jiang Hao asked, "How many planes are available on your side." ”

"I also have 8 N15s, 6 N16 fighters, and 24 DB3 bombers on my side." Zhigarev tract.

Zhou Zhiju: "I still have 5 Hawker III., 2 Boeing-281 combatants, and 6 Martin-139C bombers on my side. ”

Jiang Hao understands these fighters they are talking about, not to mention the rest, the comprehensive data of the DB3 bomber is good, with a maximum bomb load of 2.5 tons, a range of 3,800 kilometers, and a maximum speed of 440 kilometers per hour.

At the same time, the German He111 medium bomber had a range of 2,300 kilometers, the American B25 medium bomber also had a range of 2,100 kilometers, the Japanese Navy's Type 96 land attack aircraft had a range of 4,000 kilometers, and the Army's Type 97 bomber also had a range of 2,700 kilometers.

Compared to other countries' fighters, the performance of the DB3 bomber is superior.

Jiang Hao said: "I propose that my Mustang fighter and DB3 bomber form a formation, and my Mustang will be used as an escort aircraft, so that the overall speed can be improved, even if the Japanese fighter plane is lifted into the air during the bombing, we can also fight as much as we want, and leave as soon as we want." ”

"My Mustang can also carry 2 200-kilogram bombs, and it can also deal a certain blow to the Japanese army."

Zhou Zhirou and Zhigarev glanced at each other after hearing this, and the two of them admired in their hearts, Jiang Hao's fighter is really powerful, it can fight fast, and it can hang bombs, it is really a multi-capable machine.

"I agree with this suggestion." Zhigarev said.

"I agree." Zhou Zhirou nodded.

The three of them agreed, the battle squadron was formed, and the next thing was the goal, and finally the eyes of the three were all focused on the Wangjiadun airfield in Hankou.

At this time, Wuhan was the forward position of the Japanese army, the offensive hub, here, the Japanese army gathered a large number of troops, Hankou Wangjiadun Airport is the most important airport of the Japanese Air Force, covering an area of more than 7,000 acres, of course, here is also heavily guarded.

For the sake of insurance, this plan was only known to a few of them, and it was kept secret from the National Army Aviation Committee, airport personnel, and even pilots, for fear that the information would be stolen by Japanese spies.

The spring breeze is warm,

At the Shancheng airfield, a group of pilots were ready to go, and the bombers and fighters were already filled with fuel, and since the distance from Shancheng to Youhankou was 1,200 kilometers, which exceeded the combat radius of the Mustang fighters, Jiang Hao ordered people to add spare fuel tanks to the planes.

In this way, the speed of the plane was limited, but it didn't matter, when you went, you used a spare fuel tank, and when you arrived in Hankow, you lost the fuel tank just in time for the battle.
