From the east direction above Yangcun Airport, there were some buzzing planes, and the leaders all looked happy.
About half an hour ago, the comrades at the radar station had reported to the chief that the plane had entered the airspace 300 kilometers away from Yangcun Airport.
A large number of leaders quickly walked out of the airport tower, raised their binoculars and looked at the sky.
At first there was only sound but no plane, but soon the plane's silhouette emerged from the thick clouds.
Through the field of vision of the telescope, I watched the pilots of the Eighth Route Army appear in a plane belonging to the Eighth Route Army.
The faces of all the leaders suddenly showed happy smiles.
"finally come!"
Brigadier Chen of the 386 Brigade laughed, his eyes burning.
"The first two fighter jets are Saber fighter jets, followed by 13 Hellcat fighter jets, then 25 A20 attack aircraft, which are light bombers, as well as 5 transport aircraft and 5 reconnaissance aircraft."
The chief of staff was introducing the chief (deputy commander-in-chief), division commander and other chiefs at the headquarters.
These leaders looked at the plane that appeared, their eyes were bright, and their smiles almost stretched to their ears.
"Have the airport's oil depot and ammunition depot been built?" the chief asked.
"It has been built a long time ago," the chief of staff replied. "The oil depot and ammunition depot have been built and filled with aviation fuel and aviation bombs. However, the airport only has an apron and no hangar."
When Li Yunlong built this airport, it was mainly to facilitate the collection of goods.
Even the materials were airdropped by a transport plane sent by Boss Chen, so there were no hangars repaired and there were only about 50 aprons.
After a pause, the chief of staff continued: "This Yangcun Airport is still too small. It can only accommodate more than fifty aircraft at most. In the future, our Eighth Route Army will have at least hundreds or thousands of aircraft."
"Chief of Staff, is the situation too small?" The division commander smiled slightly, "Our Eighth Route Army has at least a thousand fighter jets, thousands of bombers, and thousands of pilots."
The chief also nodded with deep sympathy.
According to the current assistance provided by Boss Chen behind Li Yunlong to Xinyi Tuan.
In the future, it will not be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to have thousands of aircraft and thousands of pilots.
And according to what boss Chen said, aid will be stopped as soon as the Anti-Japanese War is over.
In the past, the heads of the headquarters always thought that as long as the Japanese were driven out of China, it would represent the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
However, with large-scale aid, after the Japanese were driven out of China, it represented the victory of the War of Resistance, but it did not mean the end of the War of Resistance.
The Eighth Route Army could also counterattack the Japanese mainland.
Although the country's land area is small, its strength cannot be underestimated. If it wants to counterattack the Japanese mainland, it must have strong sea, land and air forces.
What Boss Chen means is that as long as we continue to attack Japan, the New Regiment will always have assistance.
According to what Li Yunlong said, the head of the headquarters had a strategic conception. After Li Yunlong led his troops to counterattack and defeat Japan, China, under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army, would basically become a superpower in the world.
No one in the world dares to bully us anymore.
Although Li Yunlong is a bit of a charlatan, the heads of the headquarters know very well that as long as the headquarters fully supports Li Yunlong and supports the development of the New Regiment, that boss Chen will always support the New Regiment.
It is not impossible to eat this cake.
Of course, these words were whispered by Li Yunlong to the head of the headquarters, and they were top secrets of the Eighth Route Army.
"Then build more airports." The chief said firmly, "Once the aviation school is established, we will need many airports in the future."
While everyone was talking, the plane landed quickly.
After all the Eighth Route Army pilots and aircraft landed and drove to the apron and secondary runway.
Another transport plane flew in the sky, and some flight instructors got off the transport plane, including foreigners, Asians, and aircraft maintenance and training personnel.
Immediately afterwards, Boss Chen's people were taken to the dormitory to rest.
All Eighth Route Army pilots lined up on the runway, and their commanders reviewed them one by one.
Later.
The Chief of Staff announced the official establishment of the Flying Group directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, which consists of a fighter group, an attack aircraft group, a transport aircraft squadron and a reconnaissance aircraft squadron.
At the same time, the commander and political commissar of the flight regiment, as well as the captains, squadron leaders and instructors of each flight group and squadron were appointed.
Then, a group of leaders couldn't wait to board the plane to visit, and everyone was laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
“They are all good things!”
The teacher said with emotion:
"With this thing, we will be more confident in fighting the Japanese in the future."
The batch of military theory books sent by Li Yunlong, especially "Air Dominance", greatly broadened the horizons of all the commanders. The division commanders also stayed up late every night to study and never tired of it.
Although the strategic vision and tactical command capabilities of the leaders are top-notch.
Many of them have attended military academies, but their strategic vision and tactical command abilities are basically honed on the battlefield.
The chiefs of the military services such as the Air Force and Navy have never had any experience with them. If they had to figure it out on their own, it would take many years to develop them.
But with military theory books, the leaders have strong learning ability and can quickly master theoretical knowledge.
As for equipment and technology, Li Yunlong can get it.
The chief of staff sounded happy: "Although the average flight time of this batch of pilots is only more than 500 hours, they already have combat effectiveness and can carry out combat missions today!"
The chief nodded, his expression extremely satisfied.
"Now that the second batch of pilots and aircraft are in place."
The chief looked at the pilot, then at the plane, and said in a stern tone:
"It's time for our Eighth Route Army to show its sword to the Japanese. Send a telegram to Li Yunlong. On the 15th of this month, the main force of the 129th Division in southeastern Shanxi and the main force in northwest Shanxi will launch an attack on Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railway according to the combat plan!"
"In this battle, we will regain Shanxi in one fell swoop."
"Let there be no more wars west of the Taihang Mountains!"
"yes!"
All the officers shouted in unison.

Northwest Shanxi.
Zhaojiayu.
"Brother Chu, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Why do you have time to come to my little temple today?"
In the reception hall of the New Regiment.
Li Yunlong raised his hands and asked Chu Yunfei to take a seat. Next to Chu Yunfei stood his adjutant Sun Ming.
Chu Yunfei smiled slightly and said in a humble tone: "Brother Yunlong is joking, your place is not a small temple. As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons. Zhaojiayu has this true saying of Brother Yunlong.
How can it be a small temple when the dragon is here?"
Li Yunlong chuckled, appearing calm on the surface, but feeling a little relieved in his heart.
Chu Yunfei's eyes are so high that no one except Chairman Chiang and Chief Yan takes him seriously.
It is even more rare to be called a true dragon by Chu Yunfei.
After a pause, Chu Yunfei said again: "I heard that Brother Yunlong recently commanded the new regiment to fight a victory, killing the new commander of the First Army, Yoshimoto Sadichi, and completely annihilating the North China Front Army aviation unit. You guys?"
The number of Japanese generals killed by our regiment has reached 22, and Brother Yunlong is truly a god."
"Haha..." Li Yunlong laughed with his special voice, "It seems that Brother Yunfei's intelligence is very strong. Yes, these are all true."
Chu Yunfei glanced at Li Yunlong angrily:
"It's not that my brother has strong intelligence capabilities, it's because you, Brother Yunlong, are too high-profile. Every time you win a battle, you send a clear telegram. Brother, I don't even want to know."
"It's not that I, Li Yunlong, is high-profile." Li Yunlong said in a leisurely tone, "I also want to be low-key, mainly because my strength does not allow it."
"Didn't I send a clear telegram last time to kill 16 Japanese generals?"
"Later, he sent a clear telegram to kill Yoshimoto Teiichi and completely annihilate the North China Front air force, openly provoking Okamura Neiji."
"I want to attract the Japanese to attack us in northwestern Shanxi."
"As a result, Okamura Neji didn't dare to come at all. Later, I sent a clearly coded telegram to kill 22 Japanese generals to stimulate Japanese Prime Minister Hideji Tojo."
"In the end, the Japanese still didn't come to attack northwest Shanxi. Who do you think I should talk to to reason with them?"
Chu Yunfei: "..."
Sun Ming: "..."
After a pause, Chu Yunfei's expression changed and he asked: "Brother, I heard that your Eighth Route Army is equipped with aircraft. I don't know if it is true or false?"
Although Sun Ming on the side remained calm, his ears perked up.
The Eighth Route Army's planes shot down Yoshimoto Seiichi's plane, completely annihilated the North China Front Army aviation, and bombed the Japanese in Taiyuan with great fanfare.
The Jinsui Army had already received relevant information, but Chu Yunfei still wanted to hear Li Yunlong's personal confirmation.
Airplanes are a real good thing!
Much better than heavy artillery and tanks.
During the Battle of Xinkou, the Japanese army deployed more than 20 aircraft at Yangmingpu Airport to support the Japanese army. These more than 20 aircraft could cause no less than 1,000 casualties to the Chinese army every day.
This made the Chinese army have a very difficult time fighting in the Battle of Xinkou.
Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment and Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment both participated in the Battle of Xinkou. The two fought together, but they did not meet at that time and did not have a close relationship.
"That's right!"
Li Yunlong had an indifferent expression:
"Our new regiment is currently equipped with 50 aircraft, 20 fighters, 20 light bombers, 5 transport aircraft and 5 reconnaissance aircraft."
"Brother Chu, if you want to see these planes, I can personally take you to see them."
The Jinsui Army must have also obtained the information, and Li Yunlong would not hide it.
Even if the information about the location of Dagu Town Airport leaked out from Chu Yunfei, it was known to the Japanese.
Don't panic then. Now Dagu Town Airport has installed radar. As long as the Japanese plane enters a range of 300 kilometers from Dagu Town, it will be detected.
Li Yunlong wished that the Japanese would send planes to bomb the Dagu Town Airport.
By shooting down 1 Japanese plane and killing a Japanese pilot, the new group can earn 3 aircraft, no loss of blood!
Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming looked at each other and saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
This kid Li Yunlong is simply... extremely rich.
Now, whenever you move, you will be covered by planes, tanks and heavy artillery.
Although he looked calm and calm on the surface, Chu Yunfei's heart was already filled with overwhelming feelings. In addition to deep envy, he was still envious.
Why didn’t the big boss behind Li Yunlong choose me, Chu Yunfei?
Chu is no worse than Li Yunlong, who was born in a mud-legged family!
Why?
Chu Yunfei was puzzled.
"Oh?" Chu Yunfei had a look of deep interest on his face, "Brother, I really want to take a look."
In fact, this time Chu Yun flew to the new group. In addition to asking for some ammunition for American equipment, he also came to observe Li Yunlong's aircraft.
Li Yunlong laughed, raised his hands and said, "Brother Chu, please!"
"Brother Yunlong, please!"
then.
Li Yunlong ordered a jeep and a security truck to take Chu Yunfei to Dagu Town Airport.
Li Yunlong took a fancy to Chu Yunfei's strategic vision and tactical command ability, and he really wanted to recruit Chu Yunfei to join the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, Li Yunlong planned to show off his new muscles to Chu Yunfei appropriately.
On the jeep, Chu Yunfei looked behind him and saw the weapons of the soldiers from the guard camp loaded with live ammunition on the Jiefang brand truck, and said in a surprised tone:
"Brother Yunlong, the troops who came to your regiment didn't change their equipment last time, so now they have new guns? Where are the previous American equipment?"
Li Yunlong chuckled: "Yes, our regiment has updated its equipment. This is our regiment's new equipment of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, Type 56 submachine guns and Type 56 light machine guns, with unified bullet calibers."
"Fifty-sixth style?" Chu Yunfei's expression changed, "Why have I never heard of it?"
The Garands and carbines used by the new regiment were all American equipment, and Chu Yunfei had seen them before.
certainly.
The new regiment was also equipped with some equipment that Chu Yunfei had never seen or heard of, such as the bazooka anti-tank rocket launcher.
"Brother Chu, it's normal that I haven't heard of it." Li Yunlong's face was not red, his heart was not beating, "This is a gun produced by our Eighth Route Army. It has strong firepower, good reliability, and high accuracy. The Japanese's 38-meter cover is like a fire in front of it.
stick."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brother Yunlong." Chu Yunfei's expression changed: "How do these Type 56 guns compare to American equipment?"
"Of course the Type 56 guns are better than the American guns." Li Yunlong said confidently, "Otherwise I wouldn't let my troops change their guns. Brother Chu can go to the Dagu Town shooting range to try out the guns later."
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Chu Yunfei suddenly became interested.
Chu Yunfei was a good boaster. He heard that the guns equipped by the new regiment were better than American guns, and he immediately wanted to try them.
Not long after, Li Yunlong took Chu Yunfei to Dagu Town Airport.
We saw aircraft equipped by the New Regiment, but most of the aircraft were on combat missions to support the Jizhong Military Region, and only a few aircraft were parked at the airport.
But soon.
The plane carrying out the mission flew back again, and Chu Yunfei saw the true strength of the new flying group.
Li Yunlong chuckled: "Yesterday, my flying brigade dispatched forty aircraft, working with a reinforced battalion from the Central Hebei Military Region, to completely annihilate the 26th Cavalry Regiment of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, and captured a lot of money."
"What did you say?" Chu Yunfei looked in disbelief: "Forty planes cooperated with a reinforced battalion to completely wipe out a Japanese cavalry regiment?"
so smart?
Sun Ming on the side could not help but shrink his pupils slightly, feeling a little horrified.
Based on the combat power of the New Regiment, if we were to deal with the 358th Regiment, just dispatching a few infantry companies and a flying brigade would easily wipe out the 358th Regiment.
"How's it going, Brother Chu."
Seeing the shocked expressions of Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming, Li Yunlong felt very relieved, but his expression looked very serious:
"I really think it would be a pity not to fight the Japanese with your ability, brother. Bring your regiment and fight with me. I will let you be the deputy commander. Let's become bigger and stronger together."
