Chapter 1235 Transport Aircraft

There are only three chapters today, and tomorrow will continue with four chapters.

----------

"Rifle bullets, 580 million rounds."

"Thirty-eight rifles, 3000 two hundred and 72!"

"Machine guns, 750 each!"

"280 mortars, [-] three!"

……

Li Yunlong laughed from ear to ear when he heard the number of equipment Zhao Gang counted for him. Among them, the mortar can be used by the independent regiment. Once this thing is fixed to the rear of the half-tracked vehicle, the tracked vehicle will immediately become a Cannon.

Moreover, half-track vehicles can also carry shells, which can almost be said to be tailor-made.

In addition, there are more than 100 cars and more than 300 vehicles... Most of these are the "legacy" of the gendarmerie brigade. They took the train to the front line to fight, and all the vehicles were left in the city, intact All of them were captured by the independent regiment.

That's all, in addition to five trains parked at the railway station, and 23 transport planes of the devils were found in the hangar of Datong Airport.

When Li Yunlong first saw these transport planes, he was quite disappointed. He said: "I thought such a big thing was capable, but I didn't expect it to be used to pull people and transport goods, and it didn't even have a machine gun!"

Zhao Gang knew that this thing was not easy, so he hurriedly said: "I said, Lao Li, are you stupid? You think about fighter jets all day long, don't we have fighter jets? What we lack is this kind of transport plane to pull people and cargo!"

"What?" Li Yunlong asked suspiciously, "What do we...why do we need this plane for?"

Zhao Gang immediately settled a bill for Li Yunlong: "Old Li, we can't use the devil's bullets, right?"

"Of course not!"

"We have to transport the bullets from three stores, right? First to the steel factory and then to us..."

"Aren't fighter jets also transportable?" Li Yunlong retorted.

During this period of time, the supplies of the independent regiment have always been replenished from the airport: after occupying the airport, they will land by plane, and parachute on the road. Two transport planes and dozens of fighter jets are constantly going back and forth between the front line and the steel factory airport This barely supported the ammunition supply of the Independent Regiment!
Zhao Gang smiled, patted the handed-in Devil transport plane and said, "Don't you even look at it, this guy's stomach is as empty as a house, can it hold as many things as our fighter jets?"

Li Yunlong let out an "oh" when he heard this, secretly thinking that this is the case, this thing is for logistics and transporting bullets, and it is also a treasure.

So he smiled and ordered to take good care of it, and in addition to keep the devil's maintenance personnel, otherwise no one will repair the plane if it breaks down.

It's no wonder that Li Yunlong didn't know the function of this transport plane. People in this era have hardly been in contact with planes. Since Wang Xuexin introduced fighter jets from Ying Jiang and Mao Xiong, they have only seen devil's planes flying overhead on the ground.

Although there are airplanes now, they know almost nothing about the type, performance, and functions of the airplanes. Zhao Gang, an educated person, knows about them.

Wang Xuexin was overjoyed when he learned that 23 transport planes had been seized at Datong Airport. Not long ago, he was worried about the lack of transport planes, but he didn't expect the transport planes to arrive soon.

It doesn't seem surprising that there are so many transport planes at Datong Airport. This is the material distribution center of the devils, and almost all military materials of the devils in Shanxi are transshipped here.

The meaning of putting the transport plane here is that once there is an urgent need on the battlefield, the transport plane can be used to directly transport materials to the front line.

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army is now cheaper.

Originally, Wang Xuexin was worried that the repair and maintenance of such a large number of transport planes would be a big problem. After all, the number of ground crews formed from the devils' captives must not be enough...A considerable part of these ground crews were killed in the battle.

Another more important thing is that the Devil's ground crew is not reliable... who would dare to ask the Devil's ground crew to repair and maintain these transport planes?Even if the guts dare to do this, no pilot dares to fly. Isn't this obviously courting death?Who would know that the devil's ground crew would move their hands and feet casually?
What Wang Xuexin doesn't know is that Li Yunlong has already done this. This guy thinks that the plane can fly as long as it is repaired with general purpose. If it can't fly, the devil will be killed. Which one?

However, when Wang Xuexin saw that the seized transport plane was L2D, Wang Xuexin no longer worried about this problem.

The L2D transport aircraft was imitated by the devils in 1938 with a production license obtained from Ying Jiang for $90000. Ying Jiang's model is DC3.

It's just that this plane is a civilian transport plane in Yingjiang, and the devils use it as a military one.

If that's all it is, then the Eighth Route Army is still in trouble... The ground staff on Yingjiang's side is hard to find, and there are a large number of them.

However, the DC3 transport aircraft Eagle Sauce was exported to Maoxiong, and Maoxiong was renamed "Li 2" after the successful imitation. (After liberation, Huaxia imported it from Maoxiong, which is the plane pattern printed on the two-cent banknote)
In other words, Yingjiang's DC3, Guizi's L2D, and Maoxiong's "Li 2" are all the same thing.

Mao Xiong's ground staff must have someone who knows more about "Li 2".

Wang Xuexin immediately sent a telegram to Alexei who was at the "La 5" production base in Xinheba: "Comrade Alexei, do we have personnel who are familiar with the repair and maintenance of the 'Li 2' transport aircraft?"

Alexey laughed "haha" when he received the telegram, and replied teasingly: "Are you asking if I have eaten bread?"

Wang Xuexin couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the call back.

Then it quickly became clear that Alexei had been working in the rear for a long time and was used to joking, and did not understand the seriousness and rigor of battlefield telegrams, which is why he answered this way.

Although the answer was wrong, Wang Xuexin understood it. The meaning of this answer should be that it should be a routine operation for Mao Xiong's ground crew who is familiar with the "Li 2" transport aircraft.

Later, Wang Xuexin found out that this was indeed the case.

The reason is that many of Mao Xiong's ground staff are maintenance technicians from civil aviation... The battle suddenly broke out and Mao Xiong's various personnel are in short supply. They can only recruit maintenance personnel from civil aviation and use them to maintain fighter jets after simple training.

The "Li 2" has been used as a civilian transport aircraft since it was put into production in 39...it was not until 42 that the Maoxiong transport aircraft was not enough, and the "Li 2" was urgently requisitioned and changed to military use.

It can be said that among Mao Xiong's ground crew, maintenance of "Li 2" is their specialty, and fighter jets are their sideline.

And Wang Xuexin actually asked them if they were familiar with "Li 2"...

Wang Xuexin called back: "Great, I need a group of ground staff who are familiar with 'Li 2', preferably... 23 people!"

Wang Xuexin didn't dare to ask for too much, otherwise it would embarrass the "La 5" production base, after all, there are not many talents there.

23 is just right, one person per plane, at least they can understand and keep an eye on the devils to prevent them from making small moves.
