Chapter 731: Chapter 410 Nanchang Airdrop (2)

What's more serious is that most of the few pilots in China were killed in battle, and a group of famous air generals fell one after another. He shot down multiple enemy planes by one person, and was called the most valuable pilot and commander of the Chinese Air Force by the Japanese army. On November 1937, 11, Gao was strafed by Japanese planes at Zhoukou Airport in Henan Province, and was shot and died for his country.Less than half a year after the start of the war, the other three of the four heavenly kings of the Chinese Air Force, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, and Li Guidan, were all killed in battle.

Since 1939, it can be said that the Chinese Air Force has ushered in the most difficult moment. It can be said that the Chinese Air Force is almost unable to carry out large-scale operations. Airdrops to Nanchang, where the Japanese army has absolute air supremacy?Not to mention that the air force did not have a suitable transport aircraft, how to break through the layers of obstruction by the Japanese army and carry out airdrops in Nanchang City is indeed a difficult problem.

But Mrs. Jiang issued a death order, so Wang Huaitai had to execute it. In the end, Wang Huaitai chose seven Douglas light bombers from the Eighth Battalion of the Chinese Air Force. The "obedience" model that the government rejected, this model has not been mass-produced at all. Due to the high wing load and the excessively large landing 1935, it frequently caused training accidents, so it has continued to be notorious. The US government refused to test the prototype, but For China, which cannot buy fighter planes all over the world, it is difficult to obtain even garbage such as Douglas light bombers. As a result, it costs a lot of money and ends up buying rags, but even such rags are of great importance to the Chinese Air Force. It is extremely valuable. Each of the seven Douglas light bombers can carry 6 kilograms of effective load. Airdrops of ammunition are still possible. However, the pilots and crew members of these Douglas light bombers have no experience in airdropping materials, but orders are orders, and they must be thoroughly effective execution.

Chennault, an advisor to the Aviation Committee, heard that Wang Huaitai even sent the Air Force's only Douglas light bomber to carry out airdrops over Nanchang, where the Japanese army has absolute air supremacy?Immediately dizzy and dizzy with anger, Chennault couldn't argue with Wang Huaitai, and in a fit of rage, Chennault planned to find Song Meiling and ask who made this stupid order?Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 73112

As a result, Chennault was stopped by Soong Meiling's senior personal adviser, Duan Na. While drinking afternoon black tea, Duan Na told Chennault: "The chairman is greedy for power. If necessary, he will sacrifice everything cruelly, but he is a A staunch patriot. He is willing to do anything for China, especially to win the war against Japan. You are a soldier, talk to him like a soldier, always tell him the truth, you will do a great job. As for Mrs. Jiang, although she is womanly and humane, she is as strong as steel. Like the chairman of the committee, she is very ambitious in politics and has a strong desire for power. Winning the war is the paramount thing for her. You don’t need to pay attention to other people when you deal with Mrs. Chairman, but after the chairman makes a decision, then I hope you will respect his decision, understand?”

Chennault looked helplessly at Chiang Kai-shek's mansion. Sometimes he likes Duanna, and sometimes he hates him very much. The life of a soldier is not a bargaining chip or a price. The most unacceptable thing he can do is to pretend to be supreme. Dirty business.
