Yang Zhen's estimate was correct. The reason why the Soviet army was so desperate to grab this seemingly extremely powerful intelligence network in Yang Zhen's hands was precisely because its intelligence agency had painstakingly established it five days ago.
The most successful and largest spy network in Japan was uncovered by the Japanese side. All its key personnel were arrested, and not even one person escaped the network. [.Com text]
Without this most important source of intelligence against Japan, the Soviet army's entire intelligence work against Japan has been paralyzed. Under the severe situation of the Kwantung Army's continuous expansion of troops and the flames of war in Europe, the intelligence work against Japan has become blind, leaving
The Soviet General Staff was extremely worried.
Under such circumstances that the loss could not be made up for even for a long time, Yang Zhen, the intelligence network that had provided them with important information, naturally became the general staff officer of the Soviet Army who was urgently ill and rushed to the hospital, eager to resume intelligence work against Japan.
The Ministry's preferred target. Among them, General Abanashank, who was mainly responsible for the direction of the war against Japan, was the most active.
Yang Zhen, who had figured it out, was not in a hurry this time: "Comrade Abana Shenk, my opinion is that we can establish an intelligence sharing platform with you, but we cannot hand over the intelligence network to you. This is absolutely
There is no bottom line that we will never waver in. We have already said this, as for how to decide, it is your business."
"Since we can't come to an agreement on this matter, there is no point for me to stay here. Please prepare a plane for me. I want to return to China. As for the agreement we reached before, if you are not willing
If you want to fulfill it, then there is nothing I can do about it, right?"
"But those technical information, I still say the same thing, you will not get a word of it from now on. As for those junk goods, you can take them back if you want. If I don't take those old goods, I will also save the precious lives of our soldiers.
Comrade Abana Shenk, please remember, maybe in your eyes we are beggars, but even beggars will not hand over his dog-beating stick."
Yang Zhen's bachelor attitude made Abana Shenk frown tightly. He stared at Yang Zhen for a long time before saying: "Comrade Yang Zhen, we can discuss this matter again. In this way, I will
Communicate with Moscow and see if we can find a solution that is more beneficial to you and me." After that, he turned his head and winked at Kovalev, indicating to him to keep Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen did not miss Abanashenk's small move. But he was happy to pretend that he didn't see anything. He just smiled, picked up his coat, and followed Kovalev out of the underground conference room.
After getting into the car that took Yang Zhen back to his villa, he kicked the driver out. Kovalev, who drove the car himself, shook his head and said in disapproval: "Comrade Yang Zhen, I don't understand why you refuse. I need to know your intelligence network.
Put them in our hands, and with our resources and strength, we can only make them stronger."
"If this intelligence network grows, it will be more beneficial to both you and us. And we will also provide you with all the information you need. Isn't this much better than relying on limited conditions to work alone? What if
If you're not so stubborn, you can get your hands on three hundred of the latest American-made fighter jets."
Yang Zhen, who was sitting in the back seat, heard this and shook his head: "Since Comrade Kovalev is proficient in Chinese, there is a fable in China that you should know. The cat taught the tiger its skills, but the tiger would bite him back. If it hadn't been for the cat
If we retain the ability to climb trees without teaching the tiger, the cat will die. And we will not be a stupid cat. This is the bottom line and a matter of principle."
After that, Yang Zhen closed his eyes and said nothing. After arriving at the villa, before Yang Zhenlin got off the car, he said to Kovalev: "Prepare a plane for me. I want to return to Luobei. Since we can't agree on the key issues, let's continue."
There's nothing to do if you stay here, right? And please arrange for our people in Jiangbei to return home as soon as possible."
When he heard that Yang Zhen wanted to leave and that all the personnel who had been sent to learn air service and armored forces were withdrawn, Kovalev seemed a little embarrassed, but he didn't stay longer. He said a haha and drove away in a hurry.
Yang Zhen returned to the villa and soaked in the bathtub with his eyes closed. He quickly went through everything today in his mind. The Americans' decision to sell P-39 fighter jets surprised Yang Zhen. In Yang Zhen's opinion, it was probably
The Americans wanted to kill Jiangbei severely, but they didn't expect that these planes were actually ordered by themselves.
Yang Zhen knew very well that this kind of fighter performance was extremely low-rated by the whole world except for Jiangbei during World War II. Even the National Government Air Force, which was poor and could only rely on charity from others, did not like the performance of the fighter.
Although this kind of fighter has only been equipped for two years, the US military has begun to phase it out. It is not that some of its performance is too backward. It is mainly criticized for its poor performance at high altitudes and its obviously advanced design.
In fact, the combat performance of this kind of fighter at low and medium altitudes is quite excellent, especially the 37mm cannon it is equipped with. No fighter can withstand a single shot from it. The US and British air forces reject it mainly because they are used to it.
Pilots with three-point landing gear are not used to the front three-point landing gear.
In addition, the car-type cockpit door makes it easy for pilots to be cut in half by the horizontal tail when parachuting. The success rate of skydiving is not high, which makes the US and British Air Forces who cherish the lives of pilots very uncomfortable. But its powerful firepower seems to provide perfect protection.
The performance and complete communication system are already the best in this era.
Poor high-altitude performance? In Yang Zhen's eyes, this is not a big problem. As far as he knows, in this era, as long as the aircraft is not equipped with a turbocharger, the high-altitude performance is extremely poor. Even if it is to be put into actual combat this year, in the future
The Zero fighter, which has made the United States and Britain talk about it in two years, and the now-famous ME-109 fighter, the main fighter of the Nazis, have poor high-altitude performance.
And the high-altitude performance of the P-40 fighter that I expected was no better than this Flying Snake fighter. In order to improve high-altitude defense, the Soviets even specially developed the MiG-3 fighter for high-altitude combat. Most of them
Air combat is still mainly at medium and low altitudes.
If the United States resolutely refuses to sell P-40 fighter jets, P-39 is a good choice. Moreover, the aircraft factories in the United States are currently working hard to complete orders from Britain and France. Even if they are willing to sell P-40 fighter jets, it may be the Soviet Union’s turn.
, I don’t know when this batch of orders can be scheduled. Although these P-39 fighter jets are second-hand goods of the US military, the most important thing is that they can be obtained in stock.
It's just that it's difficult to deal with this matter without speaking to the other side. One is the money matter, more than ten million US dollars, which I can't get out anyway. If I want to get this batch of equipment, I have to rely on a loan from the Soviet Union.
Moreover, Americans will not do business with them and can only re-export through Jiangbei. If an agreement cannot be reached, these things will really be unavailable.
But the intelligence system that I have worked so hard to build cannot be surrendered to anyone under any circumstances. This is a must, and I absolutely cannot give in. If I do this, all my hard work will be in vain. But how can I make Jiangbei spit? But it is
Difficult to handle.
Yang Zhen thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out a way until the water in the tub became cold. He simply dried his body, walked out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa and meditated for a long time, but couldn't make up his mind. Yang Zhen was helpless.
, could only sigh: "It's really uncomfortable to be controlled by others."
The negotiation was controlled by others, and he was not interested in these so-called Russian dishes, so Yang Zhen lost interest in eating. He ate something hastily and went back to the bedroom to read. Yang Zhen's low interest made the two of them lose interest.
Neither the staff officer nor Xiao Huzi knew why.
Yang Zhen held the book in his hand and seemed to be reading it very carefully, but in fact he didn't read a single word. But inside his head, he was still thinking about how to get those fighter jets. When he closed his eyes, Yang Zhen always thought of what he was doing on the battlefield.
Those soldiers who died under the coercion of Japanese aircraft. Air superiority was very tempting to Yang Zhen. This advantage could not be obtained by relying on those old Polish fighter jets.
Yang Zhen stood up, walked to the window and looked at the white snow outside. Faced with the situation in front of him, he was almost helpless and sighed in his heart: "Is it true that I can't bear to have my children and not be able to trap a wolf, and I am really reluctant to give up my wife and not be able to trap a gangster?"
After sighing, Yang Zhen, who couldn't think of a way, simply came up with a trick. Anyway, his pilots hadn't completed training yet, so they wouldn't be able to use them even if they took over these planes now. On the contrary, Jiangbei dug out their eyes with his own hands.
, let them become blind and see who is the most anxious.
Yang Zhen, who had made up his mind, didn't know that just when he was melancholy, he didn't know that the central government in northern Shaanxi was also paying attention to his progress in Jiangbei. As soon as Li Yanping arrived,
When he arrived in Yan'an, he made a detailed report to the central government on the purpose of Yang Zhen's trip.
On the fourth day after Yang Zhen arrived in Jiangbei, the fleet led by Li Yanping arrived at the destination after a long flight and several stops for refueling. When the planes arrived one after another over Yan'an Airport, they came to greet them.
The head of the Military Commission was also shocked.
Especially after the first plane landed, as soon as it stopped, the people who got off the plane turned a blind eye to the crowd standing on the edge of the runway to welcome them. Instead, they quickly set up a radio, turned on the intercom, and saw that the people were still hovering in the sky.
The aircraft made a call and directed subsequent aircraft to land.
The remaining twenty-odd people were wearing colorful floral clothes, and even the helmets on their heads were tightly wrapped in the same floral cloth. They wore hoods on their faces, with only a pair of eyes exposed, but they were holding a strange weapon.
, in addition to making the same weird tactical moves and not allowing anyone to get close to the runway.
They also set up a belt to feed ammunition. The gun itself was equipped with a bipod, but it also used a tripod. The shape was very strange. It was a machine gun that had never been seen before. Two simple air defense positions were quickly built next to the airport.
.
The heads of the Military Commission who came to greet them were all veterans who had been fighting for many years. It was obvious at a glance that although the movements of these people seemed simple, they formed a pattern of alternating cover. The kind in their hands had a curved magazine underneath.
Although the muzzle of the machine gun was drooping, his fingers were still on the trigger.
The deputy commander-in-chief of the 18th Army who had just returned from the front line and led the team to greet him stopped his subordinates from going to question him and looked at the people in front of him with interest. Having experienced many battles, he was not only surprised by the tactics and actions of these people, but also looked at them with interest.
They are also more interested in the weapons in their hands.
Let’s not talk about the pistols tied to the legs. As a veteran who has been in the army for many years, this is the first time he has seen pistol holsters tied to the thighs. The kind they have in their hands is smaller than a light machine gun, but much larger than a portable machine gun.
This was the first time he had seen a weapon with extremely powerful firepower. He was especially interested in the strap on the gun that could be adjusted to allow the gun to be drawn out as quickly as possible.
After Li Yanping landed on his third plane, he was shocked when he saw the reconnaissance platoon deployed for escort missions making such tactical moves. He looked at a large group of people waiting for the plane to land at the edge of the airport runway.
He quickly asked Huang Dali to remove all their firepower except the air defense warning firepower.
After issuing the order to lift the alert, Li Yanping hurriedly walked towards the waiting crowd and met with the head of the Military Commission under the introduction of the accompanying cadres transferred from the pass. At the same time, he paid attention to several transport planes that were still hovering in the sky and had not yet landed.
It wasn't until all the planes landed that he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a brief exchange of greetings with the head of the Military Commission, Li Yanping saw that the head of the Military Commission who came to greet him only brought a few guards. Li Yanping was a little embarrassed and said to the deputy commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army: "Chief, we have brought some gifts this time."
There are a lot of supplies from the central government, could you please call some more people?"
The telegram from the Northeast said that it would send planes, but it did not specify how many planes would be sent. Seeing nine transport planes falling from the sky one after another, the deputy commander was also shocked. No one thought that Yang Zhen would send all the transport planes in his hands in one go.
All were sent out.
When he learned the amount of supplies that Li Yanping had brought, the deputy commander-in-chief was dumbfounded and quickly sent people to the Central Guard Corps station to call in an infantry battalion. In order to transport these materials, he even called in an infantry battalion from the remaining troops.
Cavalry battalion to free up horses to transport supplies.
There are 1,500 Czech rifles alone, 200 brand-new speed machines, 500 original American Thompson portable machine guns, and 100 Belgian flower-made machine guns. There are also 1,000 pieces of machine guns that the National Government spent considerable effort on
I also didn’t buy the latest Czech light machine guns, 300 heavy machine guns, and even eight 90mm Japanese mortars.
Not counting rifles, the number of light and heavy machine guns alone is enough to form three reorganized divisions even according to the standards of the Nationalist Government's most well-equipped Central Military Arms Forces. There are also huge amounts of 79 bullets and radios, Western medicine, oceans, and gold.
And other valuable materials. Especially in Yan'an right now, there is a huge amount of precious antibiotics like penicillin. It is enough for the hospitals in Yan'an to use it for two years.
There were nine transport planes. Except for one Bai type transport plane transporting escort personnel, the other eight were all packed. Looking at the mountains of equipment and ammunition being unloaded at the edge of the airport, several heads of the Military Commission were stopped before.
The unhappiness I felt had disappeared long ago. They all looked at this batch of equipment with red eyes.
Several chiefs of the main forces who came to Yan'an for a meeting and were summoned by the deputy commander-in-chief were already thinking about how to talk to the central government. It is naturally unrealistic to ask for everything, but as the main force, it's good that they can get some benefits. Even if it's just just
Providing a few machine guns will also be a supplement to the troops currently short of guns and ammunition.
What the chiefs of the main forces who were already thinking about him didn't expect was that after learning about the large quantities of weapons and ammunition that Yang Zhen had shipped, they ordered that not a single gun or bullet be moved. When Li Yanping returned, let him
He took them all back. If anyone wants them, he can seize them from the enemy.
