"Transporters?"

Kong Jie was stunned at first.

"Yes, transporters."

Li Yunlong repeated.

Then he handed Kong Jie a copy of the material, and the upper part of the cover of the information was a sketch of three views of the aircraft with two wings on the upper wings, a large cargo door at the tail, and two wings at the bottom of the belly of the main landing gear. From the outside, it looks like a shrunken C130.

The bottom half is a row of data.

"A twin-engine transport plane that can be fully loaded with five tons of supplies, fly to land 680 kilometers away without transferring, and fly back."

Li Yunlong gave a brief introduction to the data of the aircraft.

"Five tons, six hundred and eighty kilometers without transfer!"

The data suddenly made Kong Jie's eyes widen.

At present, the southernmost airport of the Independent Regiment is Jincheng Airport, which is only 550 to 700 kilometers away from southern Henan, where he planned to establish a new base area, and in a straight line in northwest Jiangxi.

This new type of transport aircraft can cover almost the entire line.

Moreover, after several months of construction, Jincheng Airport now has five large runways, more than 200 closed hangars, and 20 large warehouses, which can park more than 350 aircraft and more than 100,000 tons of various materials.

The highway and light rail leading from Heyuan County to Jincheng have also been completed, and the transportation capacity is very strong, and even the standard railway has begun to lay the foundation.

There is no need to worry about the supplies.

As for the number of transport aircraft, there is no need to worry about this at all, since the beginning of the tank business, the independent regiment has not been worried about the lack of equipment, but often worried about the excessive supply and equipment.

The only problem is the pilot.

There are really not many pilots in the base areas, and the combat support missions are overstretched, let alone air transportation to the new base areas.

But next week, the American-trained pilots will return, and 90 pilots and more than 200 logistics personnel will be enough.

With a full load of 250 kilometers per hour, a distance of 680 kilometers and a round trip, plus the time to unload and take off again, it only takes six and a half hours, that is, as long as the weather is right, as many pilots can transport as many five tons.

With fifty pilots, ten battalions are enough for this logistical supply.

"Okay, the first thing I did in the past was to build an airport."

After reading the information of the transport plane in his hand, Kong Jie slapped the table.

He couldn't wait.

With sufficient supplies, isn't it easy to establish a base area?

First occupy a small territory, then organize manpower to build an airfield, wait for planes to transport weapons, ammunition and food, during which they will repel the attack of the devils, and then use food and weapons and equipment to recruit troops and horses to expand the base area.

Grand Master Kong even thought about the plot.

Although he has only one battalion, and his combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of a full-fledged brigade of two A divisions of the devils, this transport plane can land on an unpaved runway and hold an airfield in the mountains.

"However, there are a lot of devils in the airport, especially Wuhan, where there are a lot of planes, and our transport planes fly over like this·····"

Kong Jie then frowned.

Jin city to southern Henan, hundreds of kilometers in the middle, many of them are the territory of the devils, the devils built a lot of airports, but also on the verge of Wuhan, although the bombing of the heavy Qing devil planes in the past few years mainly took off from Shanxi Yuncheng, but there are also some of them take off from the airports around Wuhan and Han.

If the transport plane flies over, it will inevitably be intercepted by the devil plane.

Of course, now that Yuncheng has been returned to the troops, there is even a main regiment stationed there.

"That's not a problem."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:

"When you get there, the devil's plane won't be a threat."

Looking at Li Yunlong's expression, Kong Jie suddenly understood that this dog thing had a plan to deal with the devil's plane, and since Li Yunlong did not elaborate, Kong Jie did not continue to ask.

At this time, the iron communicator in Li Yunlong's arms rang again.

"Let's go see the new plane."

Li Yunlong immediately invited Kong Jie.

"Okay."

The two then went to the unloading area in Heyuan County together.

At this time.

General Logistics Department.

Zhang Wanhe's office.

"Thank you."

After receiving the food stamps handed over by the monk, Zhang Wanhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Other base areas are engaged in large-scale construction, and he is no exception here, building roads, clearing wasteland, building water conservancy facilities such as canals, and building factories, which requires a large number of manpower, and the manpower of the army alone is not enough, and recruiting people to do their work must be paid.

There is nothing more appropriate to pay than food stamps.

With the expansion of the base area of the independent regiment, grain stamps can now be fully exchanged in many counties, and they are all high-quality fine grains in high-quality packaging, which are extremely popular in the market, and the grain stamps are becoming stronger and stronger.

With these food stamps, he can confidently and boldly expand the scale of construction.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

The monk touched his head, unceremoniously accepted the compliment, and then told him about his experience on the road and the bandits he had killed.

"Bandits?"

After Zhang Wanhe heard it, he immediately flashed.

He has also recently discovered this problem, and quite a few bandits are resurrecting.

A pot of rat poop spoils a pot of soup.

At present, the base areas have copied Zhao Jiayu's experience, and construction is in full swing, opening up wasteland, building roads, repairing reservoirs and canals, the common people are engaged in family breeding, collective farms are engaged in broad areas, and the first generation of big mules are vigorously cultivated by individuals.

The people's lives are getting better day by day, and the local finances are getting better day by day.

At this time, if there is a bandit in any place, it will definitely have a huge impact, and without security, who would dare to let go of their hands and feet to engage in production and construction?

"I'll report it to my superiors."

Zhang Wanhe was murderous.

"Holo."

The monk nodded in satisfaction.

Minister Zhang's influence now is much greater than before, and if he makes a move, the bandits in the base area and even the surrounding areas will be unlucky.

······

Same.

In the afternoon.

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the First Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka was sitting leisurely at the table, playing Go alone, and when he saw Yamamoto coming in, he didn't look up, and continued to play chess, just saying hello in his mouth.

"Yamamoto-kun."

"General, the statistics are out."

Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head and saluted, and then began to report:

"From the 10th of last month to the 10th of this month, a total of 153,000 tons of heavy oil, 50 tons of gasoline, and ······ grain were collected."

"One hundred and fifty thousand tons."

After listening to Yamamoto's report, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly shook his head with a smile, and his tone was full of emotion:

"Li Yunlong is so generous."

One month, 150,000 tons of heavy oil, what is this concept?

It was enough for the Combined Fleet to make a large-scale sortie at one time, and the fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor had more than 20 warships, with a speed of 16 knots, and only 3,000 tons of fuel consumed per day.

“·····”

Yamamoto did not answer and remained silent the whole time.

Selling 120,000 tons of heavy oil a month, but only 50 tons of gasoline, even a small soldier can know that this is Li Yunlong's conspiracy.

However, the base camp was unaware of it, and the emperor completely ignored it, and directly ordered all the departments to give the green light to the First Army, collecting machinery and equipment everywhere, and even dismantling some unimportant domestic machinery in exchange for fuel.

He didn't know what to say about it anymore.

"The base camp has just sent a telegram that the follow-up 20,000 recruits will arrive in Taiyuan at the end of this month, and this batch of recruits will be fully equipped with weapons and equipment according to the C-class brigade."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to laugh.

Yamamoto remained silent.

Under the frantic increase of troops in the country, from the beginning of the rout in March, to the present May, the First Army has swelled to 70,000 people, plus 20,000 new soldiers, the total strength can exceed 90,000, and the data on paper is very strong.

But in reality, most of this army is new recruits, and they are low-quality recruits.

Poor physique, poor will, poor spirit.

According to his statistics, in the 10 days from the end of April to today, more than 200 deserters of the First Army appeared and voluntarily surrendered to Tubalu. There are also more than one and a half brigades of people who committed suicide.

As for the weapons and equipment of the so-called C-class brigade, to put it bluntly, it is a lightly armed unit, the kind in which a brigade is equipped with only a few mortars.

Such troops.

When it really fought, it was not the opponent of Li Yunlong's independent regiment at all, and the only role was to consume its ammunition and increase the credit for Li Yunlong's numbers.

"Although I don't know when Li Yunlong will make a move, I think it should be soon."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to play chess, his tone very calm.

"Judging from the current situation and the intelligence gathered, Li Yunlong will take action in two months at most."

Yamamoto replied this time.

"How's the fort going?"

Yoshio Shinozuka changed the subject.

"Around Taiyuan City, the five large fortresses have already completed their preliminary structures."

Yamamoto replied:

"It's just a general, if the fortress is all built according to the reinforced concrete of the main structure with a thickness of two meters, our materials will not be enough at all."

The First Army has no chance of winning, and the Independent Regiment can drive the First Army out of Shanxi at any time, and even swallow the total annihilation of the First Army, two months ago, the two understood this fact.

The base camp and the emperor ordered the two to defend Taigahara until the last soldier, and strictly forbade retreat.

But Yamamoto and Shinozuka naturally won't sit still.

Although it is impossible to win the war, and even the consumption of materials is futile, after analyzing the situation of the independent regiment, the two found that the independent regiment still has a great weakness, that is, the strength of the army.

In particular, there is a serious shortage of technical arms.

In response to this weakness, the two developed a new battle plan.

In Taiyuan City, five strong and thick reinforced concrete fortresses were built, which could withstand 300 calibers or even more heavy artillery, and elite troops with rich combat experience and strong will were stationed there.

After the independent regiment launches an attack, with the help of strong fortifications, it will hold on for a long time, and consume the strength of the independent regiment, killing and injuring the strength of the independent regiment, which must make the independent regiment very distressed.

With ample supplies, a strong fortress, it is not a problem to hold out for several months.

The two of them thought very simply.

Every time a new weapon appeared in the Independent Regiment, it was unexpected by the two men, interrupting their plans and causing a complete collapse of the battle front.

Then, this time, it will be directly on the two-meter-thick reinforced concrete layer, with such a thickness, even if Li Yunlong takes out a 400-millimeter siege mortar, it is impossible to penetrate.

After all, the German Karl mortar cannon can only penetrate a reinforced concrete layer of 2.5 meters.

"That's not a problem."

Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said:

"A large amount of steel and cement in the northeast has been loaded, and it will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the construction of the fort will continue according to the predetermined plan."

These resources of the empire are lacking, but not nothing, and now the First Army has greatly increased its importance by providing a large amount of fuel, although there is no way to send elite divisions and heavy weapons, but steel and concrete can still be easily applied.

"Hey."

Yamamoto bowed his head should be.

······

In the evening of the same day.

Heyuan County unloading area.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Huang Quan, the captain of the flight team, were watching a newly arrived transport plane.

"It's a nice transporter."

Huang Quan touched the five-bladed propeller:

"The tail door opens the large warehouse, which can be opened and closed in the air, it is very convenient to load and unload materials, and the cargo leveling is also simple, and even the materials can be directly airdropped at low altitude without landing."

"The engine and bomb truck and fighter are of the same type, easy to maintain, saving manpower."

"Good stuff."

Huang Quan was very satisfied.

With this transport plane, it will be much easier to support the troops that have infiltrated behind enemy lines in the future. The number of two hundred is enough to toss for a long time.

"Direct low-altitude airdrop of supplies?"

Kong Jie's eyes lit up:

"You don't need to land, you can directly airdrop supplies?"

Although he was confident that he would complete the task.

But in the plan, before obtaining material supplies, the most difficult point of the new base area is the construction of an airport, a straight runway hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters wide, even if it does not need to be paved, but it is not easy to complete it under the harassment and attack of devils.

If you can get a lot of supplies and weapons and ammunition in advance, the difficulty will be reduced by a few levels in an instant.

"Yes."

Huang Quan nodded:

"The door of this transport aircraft can be opened in the air, and the cargo compartment has slide rails, which can directly airdrop supplies at a low altitude, but the materials need to be packed in advance and fixed with strong wooden beams, and the ground must be level."

"It's easy."

Receiving an affirmative answer, Kong Jie was overjoyed.

Compared to building a runway, it is much easier to occupy a section of flat land.

"Hey, there's a new aerial bomb."

Li Yunlong, who was looking at the list, discovered Hua Dian, and he found that there was an extra weapon at the end of the list, which he hadn't noticed before, and Brother Chen didn't mention it.

"New bombs?"

Kong Jie and Huang Quan were curious.

"What is it called?"

Li Yunlong said in detail:

"The shell is made of cannon steel, filled with black sorkin explosives, with a total weight of 1,600 kilograms, and the bomb is dive-dropped at an altitude of 2,000 meters, released at 500 meters, and can penetrate a 3.3-meter reinforced concrete layer, or a 16-meter civil engineering layer."

"What's the use of this?"

Although the data is scary, Kong Jie frowned:

"The little devil doesn't need anything like this."

This thing is completely overflowing with power.

"Whatever."

Li Yunlong, in line with the principle of the more good things the better, the more good things the better, and happily collected the list:

"It's good stuff anyway."
