After Xiong Dazhen finished speaking, Yang Zhen looked at Xiong Dazhen sideways and said with an extremely sincere face: "You set a trap for me. First, you showed off your merits by saying how many planes you got.
Now I turn my hand around and reach out for the plane again. I guess if you had a pilot in your hands, I'm afraid there would be no report today, and you might just seize a few planes."
"However, this is the same thing you said. The weapons and equipment experiment task is heavy, and it is really inconvenient to take the train like this. Your request is not too excessive. But judging from your recent mission, the two aircraft are still
There are a few missing. Since I have decided to give you a few, I don’t care if there are more, one or two.”
"In this way, I asked them to allocate four Junkers transport aircraft and four L5 liaison aircraft from this batch of aircraft to form a squadron specifically to cooperate with your work. The organization is still assigned to the aviation force, but it is under the command and use of your equipment department. But there are
Let me make it clear to you that these aircraft are allocated to you for your work."
"If you dare to talk nonsense in Northeastern dialect in this regard, I will twist your neck off. Also, the distance does not exceed 300 kilometers, and aircraft transportation is not allowed. We only have so many aircraft now, American-made transport aircraft
Americans are very tight on parts and components. We are not yet capable of copying German-made aircraft, and every aircraft will be scrapped at the end of its service life."
"In addition, you arrange a special person to keep an eye on the maintenance of these aircraft. If there is a technician, because the aircraft has an accident, I will not call the aviation force, only you. When using the aircraft, you must strictly formulate regulations. It's not that you are not allowed to use it, it is that you are not allowed to use it.
For bigger farts, even if the distance is far away, you need to use an airplane."
Knowing that this guy would dare to open a dyeing room if given some color, and dare to poke a hole in the sky if given a pair of wings, Yang Zhen decided to scare this guy, lest he cause a bigger problem. Although
Yang Zhen didn't like this kind of intimidation, but it was the only effective way for this guy.
However, after getting the application documents that Yang Zhen had personally approved, which this guy had already prepared, Xiong Dazhen's overly excited expression made Yang Zhen feel that his threats were basically ineffective. Looking at
Yang Zhen immediately grabbed the document in his hand and had the idea of tearing it up and invalidating it.
But fortunately, I also know that this guy will not do anything too outrageous under my nose. In addition, this guy has made a great contribution, so I can't go back on my word. After all, their equipment department does still have this need.
Many times, taking the train is really inconvenient.
As for why they were only given German-made Junkers 52 transport aircraft instead of American-made transport aircraft with better performance. It is because these German-made transport aircraft have three engines and are somewhat safer than American-made transport aircraft. The most important thing is that
The load capacity is almost the same as that of the American C-47 transport aircraft. Although the flight range is slightly shorter, its field take-off and landing capabilities are stronger than those of the American transport aircraft.
In order to keep confidentiality, most of the equipment testing sites are located in remote areas. Although they have also built airports, they are basically small field airports. Compared with the American C-47 transport aircraft with higher take-off and landing requirements, these
Auntie Juncker of the German army will have better adaptability.
In addition, the area of the base area is limited, and it is completely unnecessary to require a long range of American-made transport aircraft. Therefore, Yang Zhen transferred German goods to the equipment department, instead of choosing American goods with better performance. If he really needs to transport large items, he can transfer them
Is it a C-46 transport aircraft of the aviation force?
However, although it took a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart, Yang Zhen still did not finally implement this idea. He even personally called the aviation force and asked them to select the best transport aircraft pilot.
There is no way that every one of the technicians in their equipment department is precious. If one of them is lost due to a plane accident, how can I feel so distressed?
To say that Xiong Dazhen made a great contribution this time is not wrong. The anti-alliance transport aircraft group occupies a very important position in Yang Zhen's next plan. However, the overall number of transport aircraft units has always been only
It can barely meet the needs. The number of transport aircraft handed over by the Americans has been quite slow from the beginning. Even at the beginning of this year, they simply stopped providing transport aircraft to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The entire army currently has only two transport aircraft groups plus six independent squadrons, with a total of 64 C-47 transport aircraft, 54 C-46 transport aircraft, 11 Soviet-made Li-2 transport aircraft, and 17 Italian SMs.
Type 82 transport aircraft. Even if we include the more than ten Type 0 transport aircraft and Type 97 transport aircraft that were captured by the Japanese and are still barely flying, there is still a certain distance between them and Yang Zhen's requirements.
What the Americans mean is that the number of these transport aircraft is already large enough and the transportation needs are not very large for use by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Providing more will only be a waste of American tax dollars. Therefore, the number of transport aircraft provided by the Americans will only reach
So far, the Americans have notified the Anti-Japanese Alliance at the beginning of the year that in the future, they will replenish the Anti-Japanese Alliance transport aircraft by losing one to replace one.
It's just that the Americans think that the quantity they provided is enough for the Anti-Japanese Alliance. That's what the Americans think. But according to Yang Zhen's next combat plan, it is quite insufficient. When it is necessary to airdrop a paratrooper division, and
In the absence of gliders, neither airdrop nor parachute is enough.
Yang Zhen also knew that even if the Americans agreed to continue to provide transport aircraft, according to the history he knew later, the US and Britain were currently launching landing operations in Western Europe, which required a large number of transport aircraft to transport supplies and the US military to conduct airborne operations. It would be difficult to provide one in a short time.
A batch of transport planes were sent to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which meant that it was basically difficult to count on foreign aid channels.
The problem of insufficient number of transport aircraft has always existed before. In order to obtain enough transport aircraft, Yang Zhen went to great lengths. Not only did he constantly negotiate with the Americans, but he even used second-hand aircraft seized by the US military on the battlefields in North Africa and Italy.
He doesn't refuse any goods that come to him.
Those seventeen Italian-made three-engine transport planes with poor performance were obtained by Yang Zhen through Wilson with great effort from the trophies of the American and British troops on the North African battlefield and the Italian battlefield. If Wilson had not used himself
Because of his convenient identity, he managed to get through to the head of the intelligence department of the U.S. military's Mediterranean theater, but he couldn't get this batch of third-rate Italian goods.
This time, Xiong Dazhen acquired so many German transport aircraft at once, which greatly alleviated the shortage of equipment required for Yang Zhen's next strategic deployment. Although the performance of these dozens of German-made transport aircraft is not as good as that of the American C-47
Transport aircraft, but at least they are better than nothing. Those German bombers can also be used as a supplement to transport aircraft when the Anti-Japanese War does not need them.
It's just that the Soviets actually let them go this time. For the Soviets who have always been too quick to pluck their hair, there is something wrong with being so generous this time. Even if these transport planes have become a pile of junk, the Soviets will not allow the anti-Union resistance
Transport this batch of things back smoothly and smoothly.
You must know that even the tanks, light weapons and ammunition captured from the Germans were exchanged for supplies and US aid equipment. Things from the Soviets are never given to them for free, even if they have no use for them. Even if they keep
Even if it rusts and rots there, it won't be given away for free.
The most important thing is that the exchange of weapons and materials with the Soviets must be approved by himself. Without his own consent, no one in the Northeast dares to negotiate with the Soviets without authorization. Only at this time did Xiong Dazhen let himself know that Yang Zhen could
It is certain that this batch of junk arrived in the Northeast quite smoothly, and it can be said that it did not encounter any obstacles. This made Yang Zhen feel that the attitude of the Soviet Union this time was somewhat intriguing.
But after thinking about it, Yang Zhen decided to have a good talk with that guy Wilson. The Americans have gone too far during this period. In addition to some excessive equipment, the number of other equipment originally promised to arrive has dropped significantly. The previously promised large quantities of equipment have dropped significantly.
Caliber artillery, except for one regiment, there is basically no trace left. The tanks promised to assist are also delayed again and again, and the number is also reduced again and again.
At present, the Americans have begun to replace P-51 fighter jets one after another, and have begun to replace Chongqing with this latest fighter jet. However, they still provide the Anti-Japanese Alliance with old-fashioned P-40 fighter jets. It was convenient for Wilson before the launch of this battle.
We have talked about it and hope that the United States can provide a batch of P-51 fighter jets to deal with the new Japanese fighter jets and escort the Anti-Alliance bombers.
But the fighter jets shipped in March were still P-40K fighter jets. Although it was the latest model of this fighter jet, it was still unable to cope with the Japanese Army's Type 2 fighters, as well as the new Type 3 and Type 4 fighters.
.The fighter aircraft of the aviation force lacked performance, and even when faced with the numerically inferior Japanese aviation force, it was extremely difficult to deal with it.
Although a batch of Lager III fighter jets were exchanged, they could barely cope with the challenge of the Japanese new fighter jets. However, the maneuverability of this fighter jet was really poor, and more planes fell than were shot down. The production of Yak IX fighter jets is still quite limited at the moment.
, and it is still unable to meet the needs of two-front operations.
The aviation force's lack of fighter jets that can compete with the Japanese new fighter jets has always been a big worry in Yang Zhen's heart. How to get an air superiority fighter that can compete with the Japanese new fighter jets is Yang Zhen's most urgent need and headache right now.
question.
In addition to the need for transport planes, Yang Zhen decided to invite that guy Wilson after several considerations. There is not much time left for him to use in this war. If some problems are not solved, I am afraid there will be no chance. Because Yang
Zhen knew very well that as long as the Americans reached the border of Japan, there was a possibility of falling out with the Americans at any time.
After listening to Yang Zhen's complaint, Wilson could only shake his head and tell Yang Zhen with a wry smile that this new P-51 fighter jet is not enough for the US military in several theaters in Europe and Asia. In addition to providing some to the British,
, China should not expect this fighter jet at least in the short term.
Because the U.S. military’s air strikes on Germany and the upcoming air strikes on Japan are still counting on these fighter jets with ultra-long range and excellent air combat performance to escort bomber groups and compete for air supremacy with the enemy. Americans currently don’t have enough for their own use.
, we are really unable to provide it to friendly forces at the moment.
It’s not that he has never fought for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but the Ministry of War disagrees. Let alone the Anti-Japanese Alliance, even the Soviets who are ranked in front of the Anti-Japanese Alliance on the American aid list have never received this new fighter jet.
.The aircraft that the Americans now provide to the Soviets are no different from those provided to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The only difference is that the Soviets prefer P-39 fighter jets and their improved models. They are not very interested in these P-40 fighter jets and hope that the United States will provide as many P-39 fighter jets as possible. But even though the United States satisfied the Soviet Union
People's needs, but the Soviets did not get the P-51 fighter jets and the P-38 fighter jets.
