Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 778 Pressure
As soon as Wang Xuexin's and Li Yunlong's phone hung up, the chief's phone rang.

"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" The chief's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "I heard that we won? And a big victory?"

Wang Xuexin felt a little strange, why did he win a battle, and he hadn't confirmed the result yet, but the news of the victory spread all over the place.

The chief was actually reported by Zhao Gang. Li Yunlong was on the phone, and before he finished speaking, Zhao Gang sent the good news of victory by telegram.

"Yes, Chief!" Wang Xuexin stood up and replied: "Preliminary statistics show that our army lost 7 fighters and destroyed 17 devils!"

"Big victory, big victory!" The chief laughed hehehe: "Not bad, not bad, I said Xiao Dongbei, Ying Jiang can't achieve this result, but you played a miracle today! Well played!"

After a pause, the chief went on to say: "Say my respects to comrade pilots, they have worked hard! In addition, we must find the remains of all comrades who died and bury them, and all subsidies... will be given according to Yingjiang's standard! For the pilots who skydive, do everything possible to get them back!"

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded.

With the words of the chief, Wang Xuexin is relieved, at least the life of the family members of the sacrificed comrades is not a problem.

The chief of staff on the other side heard the chief's words, and said to the chief in surprise: "Chief, do you know how much the pension for Yingjiang pilots sacrificed?"

The chief replied: "Although I don't know, there must be a lot!"

The chief of staff said: "Ten thousand dollars, and the family can also get a monthly subsidy of tens of dollars until the child gets married!"

(Note: The pension is based on "Band of Brothers". It is said on the Internet that the pension for the US military killed in World War II is millions of dollars, which is almost impossible at the value of the US dollar at that time)

The chief replied without even thinking: "It must be given, and it must be given if you want to sell it!"

The chief will make such a decision because he knows the importance of the air force.

If the aviation team succeeds in gaining a firm foothold in North China, it will not only be a victory for the Eighth Route Army, but it will even change the pattern of the entire Chinese battlefield.

but……

The chief frowned again thinking about it.

It is definitely a good thing for the Eighth Route Army to grow up and move towards a modern army, but if it threatens the devil's supply line and rear security, then the devil is likely to turn more power to the Eighth Route Army.

The chief said with some seriousness: "In the future, our battlefield may slowly turn positive, we must be mentally prepared!"

The chief of staff nodded: "The devils will definitely not let it go like this, they will definitely seek the safety of the rear and supply lines, that is to say, our pressure will suddenly increase, and the devils may even transfer troops from the direction of the stubborn army to our army! "

The chief said "hmm", turned his gaze to the map on the table, and said, "However, although our pressure is great, it is generally beneficial to China's war of resistance. I don't want the recalcitrant army to help, and I don't want them to help." You can fight the devils with us, as long as they don't stab the knife in the back, thank God!"

The chief of staff smiled helplessly, if the stubborn army didn't stab the knife in the back, it wouldn't be called stubborn army.

However, there is an advantage compared with before: since the recalcitrant army retreated to the south of the Yellow River after the defeat at Zhongtiao Mountain, most of its jurisdiction has been separated from the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why we say "most parts" is because the area west of the Yellow River is still not separated, but that is not a war zone, and even if it is not separated, there is no big problem.

Now, it's up to the devil how to deal with it.

Wang Xuexin didn't think so much, he went to Sun Erwei immediately after winning the battle.

As soon as Sun Erwei saw Wang Xuexin, he jumped up from his chair with joy, held Wang Xuexin's hand tightly, and said, "Wang, it's unbelievable that you actually won a battle with Hawke 81, and the damage ratio Such a disparity! General Doolittle couldn’t even believe it was true, and I couldn’t believe it either, I had to believe it only after I asked Major Doug and a few pilots!”

Then Sun Erwei added: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, but the result of this battle...it's unbelievable!"

Wang Xuexin nodded to express his understanding.

This behavior of "seeking proof" of the results of the war is actually quite normal on the part of Yingjiang, because they have been deceived by the stubborn army many times.

It is not uncommon for stubborn soldiers to falsely report their military exploits, and sometimes even fabricate a battle to respond to Ying Jiang's urging... In fact, the soldiers on the front line fired their guns and then told Ying Jiang that they were attacking.

It's no wonder that the stubborn army would do this. Their strategic direction is to preserve their strength, but Yingjiang hopes that they can contain more devils, so the interests of the two are actually in conflict.

And the recalcitrant army wanted to get aid but didn't want to fight, so they could only pretend to be Ying Jiang and falsely report some military exploits.

This directly implicated the Eighth Route Army, making Ying Jiang think that the Eighth Route Army was also falsely reporting military exploits.

Wang Xuexin pretended to be relaxed: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just an ambush by the devil, and the devil is not mentally prepared!"

Sun Erwei rolled his eyes and thought: Is this guy showing off to me?Didn't he know that being able to shoot down a 'Zero Fighter' is already considered a hero in Yingjiang, but he shot down a dozen of them in one go and still said "no big deal"? !

Wang Xuexin didn't care what Sun Erwei thought, he came here for another purpose.

"Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin asked knowingly: "I heard that the speed of Yingjiang's carrier-based aircraft is not as fast as 'Zero War', so we can't use our tactics?"

"Yes!" Sun Erwei nodded: "So General Doolittle is worried about this. At this time, we haven't turned to the counterattack. Most of the islands are occupied by devils. In addition, our army's flight range is not as good as the devils, so even if we fly from the island It is also difficult to threaten the devils by taking off land-based fighters!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement, the Devil's "Zero War" has an abnormal combat radius of more than 1000 kilometers, which is comparable to modern fighter jets.

Unless the Eagle Sauce is a large bomber, or a "Mustang" fighter jet refitted with the British "Roroy" aircraft, it will not be able to reach this range.

Range is one of the most important indicators of a fighter plane. It is not only a question of whether it can be reached, but also a question of whether it can be fought in air combat... As I said before, if the range is insufficient, the enemy can play hide-and-seek with you in the air , until you are almost out of fuel, and you will not be entangled with you, and the party with insufficient fuel will surely die.

Wang Xuexin didn't care about this. He said to Sun Erwei: "Have you ever thought about a question, since your land-based aircraft can't play a role in the Pacific battlefield for the time being, why don't you send them to China? We don't have any island restrictions here, and there are no restrictions on the range. There are no such high demands!"
