Chapter 251
"Yang Xiuqin!" Zhao Gang said.
Chen Shanhe didn't take it seriously when he heard it, but he suddenly realized it.
"Oh... what, what did you call it?"
Zhao Gang looked at him inexplicably, not knowing why he reacted so strongly.
"That female student's name is Yang Xiuqin, you have too many things to do, and you don't usually pay attention.
Of the 200 students in our college, there are only 30 girls, and she is the female student with the best grades.
And, very courageous!
This can be seen from the moment the enemy's aerial bombs were dropped, she pushed Lao Li down and lay on him.
This is a character who can't be ignored by women! "
Chen Shanhe didn't know how to feel at this moment, just now he lamented that Lao Li fell in love with a female student, and that Xiuqin...
Unexpectedly, he learned from Zhao Gang that the female student Li Yunlong liked was Yang Xiuqin.
Isn't this just that Qiao's mother opened the door for Qiao, and Qiao arrived home?
Since this is the case, what else does Chen Shanhe have to say?
As long as he agrees, he has no problem at all.
As for whether Yang Xiuqin agrees with this matter, there was no doubt at all from the moment Li Yunlong happily informed them to go to the wedding banquet.
This time their marriage, no one came to attack, no one kidnapped Xiuqin in the bridal chamber on the wedding night, and no one forced Li Yunlong to face his new wife, and when he was tied to the wall by others, he would tear his heart apart He shouted loudly to fire.
very smooth.
Judging by the way they look, they will probably be very happy.
But for Principal Jiang who is far away in the mountain city, he is not so happy.
Because General Stilwell told him that the deal between the Americans and Chen Shanhe, the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, had already been negotiated.
The Americans will airlift the machines and various equipment needed by Chen Shanhe, the Second Independent Regiment, through the hump route, passing through the airports that can stop along the way.
So the notification must be notified to Principal Jiang.
But agree or not.
As long as President Jiang still thinks about the military assistance from the Americans, he will not be able to raise objections, because he also knows that the price given by Chen Shanhe, the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, is very high.
How high?
It was so high that Principal Jiang himself was envious.
If the secret recipe, the means of production, and the technology fall into his hands, he can also produce a lot of gold every day.
But now it's American.
So he has nothing to do except scold his mother Xipi, but fortunately, Chen Shanhe talked with the Americans, or the Americans still took his face into consideration, and did not directly talk to Chen Shanhe from the Second Independent Regiment about buying weapons directly matter, but to the machine.
As for the machine, in fact, as Chen Shanhe said, as long as the devils are repelled, the machine can't run away, and the meat rots in the pot, it's still the meat in the pot.
He bought weapons and ammunition directly from the Yankees, as well as tanks and planes. These things cannot be produced in a short period of time when you have a machine.
Besides, even if there are machines, without technology and materials, what else can be produced besides some guns and ammunition?
Even after the little devil occupied the Northeast, it has been operating there for ten years. In addition, the Northeast Army still has an industrial base there, but it only produces some guns, ammunition and artillery. Even most of the tanks are still in Japan. produced on the island.
[Of course, most of them, and some of them are produced in the Northeast, and some of the aircraft are also produced in the Northeast]
He didn't believe that even if the Eighth Route Army got these machines, what else could it produce?
You must know that now, the Americans and the British have begun to attack the little devils.
Even in the current battle between the Americans and the Japanese, the Americans are at a disadvantage, but the industrial strength of the Americans is unmatched by the Japanese.
Principal Jiang was very sure of this.
So in his view, the Anti-Japanese War will end soon.
Not more than 5 years.
Even if there is 5 years to allow Chen Shanhe to use these machines, the Americans agreed last May to help him arm 5 mechanists. It may be because of the deal with Chen Shanhe that the Americans agreed to continue Add 30 divisions.
If 35 mechanists are equipped, President Jiang believes that no one will be his opponent in this country.
The premise is after the little devil is beaten away.
but.
Principal Jiang felt aggrieved.
The Americans actually bypassed themselves to make a deal with the Eighth Route Army.
This made him very uncomfortable.
"Principal, in fact, we don't need to worry about this kind of thing, the Japanese are more worried than us.
If the Japanese knew about the deal between the Americans and Chen Shanhe, they might be more anxious. "
It was Dai Li who said this.
His brain circuit has always been so strange.
So how to let the Japanese know the deal between the Americans and Chen Shanhe?
What's so difficult about this?
Especially for people like Dai Li.
Some people say that the national army at that time was like a sieve, with water leaking everywhere.
That statement is a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much.
Therefore, it is still very easy to spread a piece of news that the Japanese know, such as when did the U.S. military plane pass by which airport, and when did it arrive at what location?
and so.
Never before in history, the Japanese Zero fighters stationed in Taiyuan happened.
And it's 11 Zero fighters.
There are actually 11 planes.
Before July 1942, the Americans did not obtain any information about the Zero fighter. In the past, the Zero fighter was a god-like existence on the Asian battlefield. For Americans.
Even after the United States obtained a complete Zero fighter in July 1942, it was shipped back to the United States to start research, and after a few months, the shortcomings of the Zero fighter were studied, and an aircraft that restrained it was designed to address the shortcomings of this fighter Before.
The Japanese Zero fighter can dominate the airspace of the entire Asian battlefield.
but.
In Taiyuan, something that has never been recorded in history actually happened. There were as many as 11 Zero fighters stationed at Taiyuan Airport.
10 transport aircraft.
An escort formation of 10 P40 fighter jets.
Encountered a battle with 11 Zero fighters, and it collapsed at the first touch.
Of the 10 transport planes, 4 were directly destroyed, two were injured, and 4 landed on the airport of the Independent Second Regiment unscathed.
However, only three of the 10 P10 fighter jets in the 40 escort formation successfully landed on Chen Shanhe's airport.
Moreover, the three fighters who were lucky enough to successfully land on the airport, each of which was covered with scars, the fighters at the airport desperately carried buckets to splash the smoking place all over.
Only barely saved three tattered fighter jets.
Pilot James Brown climbed out of his battered plane and barely managed to land, happily crossing himself over his chest.
Having escaped from death, he was very grateful to the airport soldiers who came to put out the fire with buckets: "Thank you, guys, thank you guys!
Guys, your anti-aircraft towers are awesome, but can't your flak guns be bigger?
The 20mm caliber anti-aircraft cannon does not have much deterrent power at all.
I feel that the Japanese fighter planes are mocking you! "
The airport fighters also rescued the pilot who was injured on another fighter plane, but was able to barely land the tattered plane.
Fast following is the medical team at the airport.
This skillful and quick response made James Brown think that he had returned to the Americans' own air force base.
"Andre, how are you doing?"
James Brown hurried over and watched the medical team quickly check the pilot's wounds at the scene.
After a quick inspection of Andre, the members of the medical team found that he had only scratches from the shrapnel under the left rib. Fortunately, only the scratches from the shrapnel allowed him to successfully turn his car into a tattered car. The P40 barely parked at the airport.
"Mr. Pilot, your wound is very small, and it's not a fatal part. You just lost a little too much blood. After you stop the bleeding and rest for a while, you'll be fine."
The members of the medical team comforted Andre who was lying on the stretcher in not-so-fluent English.
"thanks, thanks!"
It was only at this time that Andre breathed a sigh of relief. Anyone who came back from a life-and-death moment could always feel the preciousness and beauty of life.
"James, you're lucky. The planes are all set up like this, and people are fine!"
Andre took a look at James Brown's whole body and found that there was no blood or scars on his body, so he couldn't help being happy for him.
But among their 10 escorting fighter jets, only three managed to survive in the end.
At this time, Andre suddenly remembered the fighter who landed on the airport one step earlier than them?
"Doctor, where's the guy from the first plane? How's he doing?"
The medical soldier shook his head: "His injuries are serious. When he was lifted out of the plane, he had already died of his injuries!"
This answer made the surviving Andre and James Brown silent for a long time.
They were an aviation combat team, with 10 fighter pilots when they set off, but when they arrived at the location, there were only two of them left.
Not to mention that they also saw the scene of the transport plane being shot down in the air.
On the air defense tower not far away, someone fired a shuttle from time to time, but the tracer bullets were still clearly visible even in daytime.
The Zero fighter jets in the sky, apart from being rather arrogant at the beginning, after being blown up in the air, when they attacked again, they knew how to avoid the range of the ground air defense towers.
However, the Japanese army participated in the battle this time not only the Zero type, but also three other types of fighter jets were shot down by the anti-aircraft tower.
In addition, the escort pilots of the US military also shot down two other types of fighter jets of the Japanese army in the air.
In other words, the air encounter between the US military and the Japanese army was quite tragic.
They paid the sacrifice of 7 fighter jets being shot down, 8 fighter pilots killed, and 4 transport planes being destroyed, in exchange for only shooting down two other types of Japanese fighter jets.
If it is not within the range of the ground anti-aircraft tower, the fierce anti-aircraft firepower of the ground anti-aircraft tower can play its role.
Their battle loss today was ashamed and thrown to grandma's house.
James Brown and Andre watched as fighters at the airport used trucks to haul their planes into the hangar.
The transport plane that landed ahead has already been dragged in.
The Japanese fighter planes in the sky slowly dispersed under the threat of ground anti-aircraft turrets at this time.
James Brown and Andre thought that the Japanese planes would drop aerial bombs on the air defense towers, but they didn't expect that even if they were shot down and destroyed four fighter jets, no Japanese would think of throwing aerial bombs on the air defense towers.
After the Japanese fighter planes dispersed, Chen Shanhe came down from the air defense tower. Among the four Japanese planes shot down just now, the Type Zero was his handwriting.
To be honest, it would be fine if it wasn't blown up, and it would be fine if it was just shot down and forced to land.
However, in addition to strong combat effectiveness, Type Zero fighters also have weak defense capabilities.
Moreover, there was no self-sealing fuel tank in the early stage, and it caught fire as soon as it was hit, and it exploded when it caught fire.
"Hello, my name is Chen Shanhe, and I am the highest military officer here."
Chen Shanhe held the hands of the two fighter pilots in front of him tightly, very enthusiastically.
Both James Brown and Andre had heard of this famous commander of the Eighth Route Army before they came. According to the legends within the US military, Chen Shanhe is already the strongest human being in history.
In the legend within the US military.
The most important thing is not that Chen Shanhe kicked down the American boxing champion Marshall.
It wasn't when Lieutenant Colonel Marshall drank bowls of wine that were bigger than a human head. The head of the regiment drank with Lieutenant Colonel Marshall, but Lieutenant Colonel Marshall passed out, but he wasn't drunk.
Instead, the head of the regiment once took his junior sister to bombard the North China Dispatch Army Commander-in-Chief Neiji Okamura of the Japanese army.
It was he who led the troops, and the Japanese army did not dare to fight back. It was he who led the troops to fight the Japanese army and never lost.
For the U.S. military that is already suffering from Japan-phobia, someone like Chen Shanhe should not be just a regiment leader.
And I heard that the head of the delegation is also one of the best doctors in this country.
And he is the most brilliant agricultural expert.
Even the most brilliant industrial doctor.
It is said that what the leader is worst at is fighting.
This is the legend about Chen Shanhe within the US military, even after General Stilwell's affirmation.
and so.
Seeing the legend, even James Brown and Andre, who were quite sad just now, hurriedly saluted.
"Mr. Commander, Sergeant James Brown and Sergeant Andrei Draculavic of the Seventh Air Force of the U.S. Air Force Pacific Theater salute you."
Chen Shanhe also returned a salute to them, then untied the bandage, checked Andre's wound again, and then nodded.
"Fortunately, it's just a flesh injury, no big problem, it seems that you are a lucky guy!"
But it was a pity to look at the two or three fighter jets that were dragged into the hangar, and said: "Your plane has been beaten up like this, and you can still successfully land the plane on the airport.
This technique of flying fighter jets should be regarded as the top among fighter pilots in the world!
For example, I can't!
However, looking at this plane, there may be no way to take off! "
(End of this chapter)
"Yang Xiuqin!" Zhao Gang said.
Chen Shanhe didn't take it seriously when he heard it, but he suddenly realized it.
"Oh... what, what did you call it?"
Zhao Gang looked at him inexplicably, not knowing why he reacted so strongly.
