Chapter 117 Except for materials, labor and capital are lacking here.
Zhao Jiayu.
The ten-wheeled big truck stopped at a transfer station to refuel and refuel, and after Huang Quan and the others got permission, they planned to get out of the car to take a look, and when they looked around, their expressions fell into a state of shock.
"This is Zhao Jiayu's base?"
The car was parked in a halfway up the mountain, and the view was unobstructed, and a corner of Zhao Jiayu's base was unobstructed.
in view.
Although it is not a majestic and steep peak, just some small hills of several hundred meters, the slope is relatively gentle, but it still brings people more shock.
The thought of going into such a mountainous area makes anyone's scalp tingle.
It's just that.
In the midst of these undulating, rolling peaks, roads wind and loop through the valleys and mountains, and the valleys formed by the interspersed peaks have built a four-lane road, and houses of all sizes sit on both sides of the road.
Every valley here is wide, with roads in the middle, and apart from the houses, you can see large tracts of square, neatly watered ground, interspersed with artificial canals.
Even in winter, you can see many people working in the fields.
Rolling mountain peaks, winding roads, neat fields, there is a faint kind of mountain village idyllic atmosphere.
It is hard to imagine that this is the northwest of Jin, a Japanese-occupied area, a land ravaged by war.
"These valleys were artificially widened not long ago."
Huang Quan couldn't help but ask.
In the mountainous area of northwest Shanxi, how can there be so many wide valleys, looking at the steep walls between the valleys, it is obvious that they have been artificially widened, and they have been expanded recently. The terraces of the hillside mountains have also been planned to be merged and are more suitable for large-scale cultivation.
"Yes."
The fighters of the independent regiment, who was in charge of driving, said with a smile:
"This is the fifth farm in Zhao Jiayu's base area, which was planned and built by the political commissar."
Relying on sufficient manpower and unused materials, Zhao Gang also deliberately widened the valley during the later expansion and construction, and some small hills were directly dug up and bulldozed, and regularized farmland was reclaimed to increase planting efficiency and leave blank space for future mechanized farming.
"Incredible."
Huang Quan muttered to himself.
Although there is a huge gap between the mountainous farmland in front of us and the Great Plains of France, it is an extremely huge project to construct such regular farmland and build so many roads in a complex mountainous area.
It will cost a lot of manpower and material resources.
This is completely different from the propaganda!
"Your commissar planned it?"
Feng Nan was also shocked and his tone was curious.
"Yes."
Warrior tone pride:
"This is planned and built by our political commissar Zhao."
The mood of the crowd calmed down, returned to the truck, the engine started, and the convoy continued to drive towards Zhao Jiayu's regimental headquarters.
······
"The regiment commander, fifteen pilots from the headquarters, and three teachers have arrived."
After receiving the report from the guards, Li Yunlong immediately got up and walked to the door.
At this time, in the open space outside Zhao Jiayu's regimental headquarters, Huang Quan and others also happened to get out of the car, and looked at the neighborhood curiously.
Although everything is based on practicality and safety, there is little consideration for aesthetics, but it looks rough and beautiful.
"Commander."
Seeing Li Yunlong, Huang Quan, who was already wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, immediately saluted:
"Pilot Huang Quan came to report."
The other fourteen people also stood up and saluted, but this scene made Feng Nan's people who got off the car a little overwhelmed.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
It's a group of good seedlings... Grand Master Li glanced at the fifteen people in front of him, and the fifteen pairs of resolute and sharp eyes made him very satisfied, and he couldn't help but let out a smug smile.
"Good."
After returning a military salute, Li Yunlong looked at the time and went straight to the topic:
"Let's go to the canteen of the regiment headquarters for a meal first, and after twenty minutes, gather here, and then we will go to Heyuan County Airport together, where is the plane prepared for you."
"Yes, Captain."
Huang Quan and the other fifteen people's voices increased by five points.
They were very satisfied with this arrangement, and they were also very satisfied with the temper of their own regimental commander.
I like this kind of never verbose and nonsense.
Although I really wanted to see the fighter plane I had in mind now, I was really hungry after a four-hour ride from the brigade headquarters, and I didn't eat much in the morning.
After that, Li Yunlong also arranged for the three teachers to go to the canteen of the Youth League headquarters to eat, and notified a special person to be responsible for arranging the work of the three people.
However, contrary to Li Yunlong's expectations, only two teachers went to the canteen of the regiment headquarters, leaving a very young girl to stay.
"Captain Li."
Feng Nan also saluted a not-so-standard military salute:
"I prepared my own lunch, and I've already eaten it."
"Can I meet with the political commissar Zhao of your regiment?"
As she spoke, Feng Nan handed over her diploma and personal information signed by her superiors.
Li Yunlong originally wanted to refuse.
Now Lao Zhao is very busy, and he rarely meets once, let alone others.
But seeing that Feng Nan was a college student of the Normal Department, and half of the literacy textbooks compiled by Zhao Gang were exposed in his pocket, as well as those intellectual shining eyes, this look was familiar to him, and he had often seen it recently, so Grand Master Li changed his mind:
"Okay."
Calling a soldier of the guard company to inform Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong took Feng Nan into the regiment headquarters.
Taking education as the topic, he successfully found out Feng Nan's information, age, family background, dreams, and whether he had a partner, during which Feng Nan's conversation and knowledge made Master Li very satisfied.
That look was like seeing a future daughter-in-law.
While waiting, Li Yunlong also found a draft of Zhao Gang that he had read and handed it to Feng Nan.
This is Zhao Gang's imagination of the future of education, and there are some things I heard from Brother Chen, about education, fragmentary and strange, but after careful thinking, I feel very meaningful.
Taking the notebook in surprise, Feng Nan quickly became fascinated, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Thirteen minutes later, the guard soldier walked in and whispered to Li Yunlong:
"The commissar said that he was not free, so let you..."
The guard didn't continue, but Li Yunlong could guess what Lao Zhao was talking about, and he must have let him stay cool.
With a smile, Li Yunlong pulled the guard out of the reception room and whispered:
"You talk to the commissar, just say that my gun went off when I was practicing shooting..."
"Huh?"
The guard was stunned for a moment.
"If you want to go, you will go."
The regiment commander glared, and the guards and soldiers did not dare to hesitate anymore, and hurriedly went to convey the news.
Another seven minutes passed, Li Yunlong was waiting at the door of the reception room of the regiment headquarters, Feng Nan was watching intently in the room, completely forgetting about anything else, and fifteen pilots and ground crews outside the regiment headquarters were gathering in formation.
With the sound of three jumpers, there was a creak, and Zhao Gang's anxious voice came:
"Lao Li?"
"Lao Li?"
"Political Commissar Zhao, here."
Li Yunlong deliberately called Political Commissar Zhao this time
"Are you alright······"
The voice changed when Zhao Gang saw Li Yunlong, who was leaning against the door and snorting melon seeds with his legs diagonally, and his anxiety disappeared, his tone suddenly increased by an octave, and he scolded directly, and at the same time kicked him directly:
"What the fuck you..."
When he heard Li Yunlong's Zhao political commissar, Feng Nan put down the notes in his hand and tidied up his clothes during the time he stood up, and when he heard Zhao Gang's 'you fucking thing', he almost couldn't help laughing, and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
"There is a comrade teacher from the headquarters here, you will receive me, I will take the pilot to see the plane."
Leaving a word, Li Yunlong jumped into the truck and drove towards Heyuan County with the assembled pilots and ground crew.
"This dog ·······"
Zhao Gang, who was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, walked in the door with a scolding and was about to take a sip of tea, but before he finished scolding, he saw Feng Nan in the house, and the trash talk was suffocated on the spot.
"Hello Political Commissar Zhao, my name is Feng Nan."
Zhao Gang's face turned red.
Social death!
He suddenly thought of what Boss Chen had said.
······
Li Yunlong is a fine person, and he is not stingy, but he is also a temperamental person who cuts devils with a ghost head knife.
Although I have grown a lot in the past few years, read more books, experienced more things, and precipitated some stability in my personality, especially the tens of thousands of troops under my hands and millions of people in the base area, I have begun to know how to exercise restraint, but my temperament is still there.
Huang Quan, in order to learn flying skills, this person can join the Foreign Legion alone, naturally do things neatly and simply, can bring out a team alone, and his personality charm is not small.
Both sides are neat personalities, pay attention to encountering devils, as long as the situation allows, the knife will be on it, even if you can't beat it, you have to jump off his front teeth.
The two of them talked about their temperament in three or five sentences.
Look at each other in the right eye.
Driven by the two, the atmosphere in the car was very solid, and everyone quickly recognized the head of the regiment.
By the way, the 1st Flying Brigade of the Independent Regiment was also established.
The road from Zhao Jiayu to Heyuan County is not short, but fortunately, the four-lane road is wide and smooth, and the trucks are fast, and the convoy arrived at Heyuan County Airport two hours later.
"This is Heyuan County Airport."
Li Yunlong pointed to the airport under construction in the distance and said:
"In the future, this will be the place where the flight brigade of the independent regiment will be stationed."
"This..."
Looking at the huge airport in front of him with wide eyes, Huang Quan was speechless for a while.
Could it be...
Although they had only met for two hours, he had already recognized the regiment commander, but he did not agree with the formation of the flying squadron and felt that a flying squadron was the most suitable.
Just kidding, seven pilots, eight ground crews flying brigades?
To form a flying group, a minimum of twenty-four aircraft is required.
Moreover, a flying group must not only have enough aircraft, but also have sufficient manpower and materials to maintain the combat consumption of this large group of fighters, and the aircraft is a large fuel guster.
A brigade is not a small number combined.
Even if there is a national government supported by the Americans, the air team is also picking and searching, because aviation fuel has to be transported by the Hump route, which is very precious.
But.
All the way here, I saw the situation in Zhao Jiayu's base area, the ten-wheeled trucks, the half-track transport trucks, dozens of tanks, and a large number of newly built concrete buildings·····
Huang Quan already felt in his heart that this independent regiment might really have more than 20 planes, which was relatively sufficient for flight fuel.
Then, seeing the airport in front of him, as well as the hundred hangars, and the huge concrete warehouse near the airport, he thought in his heart that maybe this independent regiment could really form a flying group.
The airport in front of us, in terms of size, not to mention a flying group, even a flying regiment flying wing is enough, and an air team can be expanded a little.
"Five cement flight runways with anti-skid lines, nearly 100 enclosed arched reinforced concrete hangars."
The ground staff in the back were also amazed by the luxurious infrastructure of Heyuan County Airport.
This configuration can only be seen at those large rear airports abroad.
Cement runways can reduce aircraft loss, improve aircraft life, and reduce ground handling workload, but it is difficult to build, expensive, and troublesome to maintain, besides, it is generally not necessary. Anyway, except for large and medium-sized bombers, most propeller aircraft do not have great requirements for runways, and lighter ones don't even need to be paved flat, and a piece of lawn can take off directly.
The arched reinforced concrete hangar also has many benefits, such as being defensible, protecting the aircraft from the sun and rain, allowing ground staff to maintain in bad weather, and the overhead crane for easy maintenance.
However, unless it is a long-term stable rear airfield, the rest of the front-line airfields, field airfields, etc., most of the fighters are placed in the open air, and in case of bad weather, at most cover with a rain cloth to cover it.
It's also outrageous to see such a facility at an airport here.
This is the front line, and Taiyuan, which was occupied by the First Army of the Devils, is only about 70 kilometers away from here.
But the crowd quickly suppressed their surprise because they had something more to look forward to.
Fighter.
"Is there a hundred warplanes here?"
Huang Quan finally couldn't help but ask.
On the way by car, he never talked about the topic of airplanes, he felt that it was not suitable in his heart, and Li Yunlong did not take the initiative to talk about it.
"Of course."
Li Yunlong smiled:
"Heyuan County Airport has a total of 100 fighters, including 50 new attack aircraft, 50 new fighters, 50 logistics vehicles (10-wheeled trucks), and 30 tractors."
"Is there enough fuel? How much ammunition is there? ”
Although it felt impolite and inappropriate, Huang Quan still subconsciously asked.
A hundred planes!
That's a hundred!
And there are also eighty logistics vehicles.
This configuration, a proper establishment of a full aviation regiment wing, if the supplies are still sufficient, then...
Is this what happiness tastes like?
"The airport is equipped with seven warehouses."
Li Yunlong told the story:
"Among them, five fuel depots, one bomb depot, a total of 10,000 tons of aviation gasoline with a label of 150, 3,000 tons of cannon ammunition and aviation explosives, and one storage of spare parts."
"By the way, each aircraft has six sets of spare parts, and each set has a brand new spare engine."
The airport is close to the industrial zone of Heyuan County, and there is a battalion stationed nearby, and before the airport starts, the warehouse has been built, which was originally used to store ammunition and food.
There is also an unloading area near the public industrial zone of Heyuan County.
Gollum·····
Seven pilots and eight ground crew members widened their eyes and swallowed their throats in unison.
10,000 tons of high-grade aviation gasoline and 3,000 tons of ammunition are enough for 100 aircraft for more than half a year.
And.
Each aircraft has six brand new engines!
There are six spare parts for any part!
That's too rich, isn't it?
"How long will it take for you to build up combat effectiveness with a new type of fighter?"
Li Yunlong asked.
The formation of combat effectiveness refers to being able to go to the battlefield, and with a big war imminent, he needs the aviation brigade to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
"Looking at the model of the aircraft, the more advanced the technology, the longer it will take, and it is not easy to master an aircraft."
Huang Quan wiped the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath and replied:
"If I have a completed flight manual, a maintenance manual, and adequate training, it will take between ten and thirty days, and if I have a technician sent by the manufacturer, then I can compress it to five to fifteen days."
Although he has a lot of experience, the pilots he brings with him are not bad at all, and the logistics staff are all elite, mastering the performance of a brand new aircraft is a huge project.
Judging from the materials of the independent regiment, the planes obtained must be very technologically advanced.
Otherwise, you won't need 150 gauge gasoline.
This high-tech fighter starts with 60 pages of flight manuals and 300 pages of maintenance manuals.
Fortunately, the abundant fuel gave Huang Quan the confidence to shorten the time.
"Okay."
"The manufacturer's technicians are in the camp over there, and I'll take you to meet later."
"The fuel here can be used casually, the ammunition can also be fired directly with live ammunition, there is a shooting range five kilometers to the left of the airport, and I only have one request, to form combat effectiveness in the fastest time."
Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes."
Huang Quan nodded.
"Remember one thing."
Li Yunlong raised his tone:
"At any time, in any situation, give priority to saving your life, such as engine failure on the way back, fire or something, don't hesitate, jump directly, we have a lot of planes."
Although Brother Chen's plane is sturdy and has a high success rate of forced landing, it is far less successful than abandoning the plane and parachuting.
"Commander."
At this point, Huang Quan couldn't help but prompt:
"A hundred planes is a lot, but the loss of planes is very large, and it can't be wasted."
Abandon the plane and parachute, the plane is gone, there are enough parts here, as long as the plane is driven back, it can be repaired.
"Hahaha..."
Li Yunlong smiled proudly:
"In addition to materials, labor and management lack everything here."
"We will replenish at least 200 aircraft in March, and at least 600 new aircraft in April, each of which will be six spare parts, and the total inventory of aviation gasoline will not be less than 500,000 tons."
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
Huang Quan was directly choked.
The rest weren't much better.
"I'll send a bunch of young lads in a few days."
Li Yunlong struck while the iron was hot:
"The technicians sent by you and Brother Chen teach them logistics maintenance, these young men have poor knowledge, teach more, if there are good seedlings in them, they can also be trained to become pilots, attack aircraft and fighter planes each have five two-seat training types."
"Oh, Brother Chen is the manufacturer of this plane."
"Anyway, remember one sentence."
"In addition to materials, labor and management are lacking here"
