Chapter 323: A roundabout approach, focusing on military rations
Lin Xu understood what Gao Yuntian said.
The meaning is very simple.
The 100 students in the aviation school now are indeed able to fly fighter jets.
But that's all.
There is basically no ability to coordinate combat in the air.
It would be fine if they were asked to fly their fighter planes and launch a suicide attack on a certain location of the Japanese.
But if we want these students to participate in air battles against the Japanese, they will surely die.
"Yuntian."
"You tell the truth."
"How long will it take for these pilots to be able to take to the air and fight on their own?"
Lin Xu asked directly.
"This one……"
"At least……"
"It will take three months."
Gao Yuntian thought for a moment and then gave a relatively practical answer.
"Three months?"
Lin Xu frowned, still feeling that the time was too long.
"brigadier."
"Three months is the ideal situation."
"Under normal circumstances, it takes more than ten months to train a standard pilot."
"The reason I said three months is because we have enough fighter jets here, and various fuel resources are not scarce, so the trainees can get the best training conditions."
"But it's impossible to complete a complete training system in less than three months."
"For students rushed into battle, the casualty rate would be unimaginably high."
Gao Yuntian, captain of the Canglong Flying Squadron, said earnestly.
Lin Xu nodded slightly.
"in this regard."
"You have more experience than I do."
"I feel very relieved to leave the aviation school to you."
"in addition."
"Prepare for battle soon."
"It may not be long before there is a war."
"Your Air Force will most likely participate in the battle by then."
Lin Xu reminded.
"Yes! Brigadier!"
"Please rest assured, Brigade Commander!"
"Blue Dragon Squadron, take off and fight at any time!"
Gao Yuntian's eyes lit up and an expression of excitement appeared on his face.
Finally I have the chance to fly a fighter plane to kill the Japanese.
The deputy squadron leader Sha Changling next to Gao Yuntian had already flushed extremely red at this moment.
I wish I could rush to the battlefield right now.
The entire New 1st Brigade.
Everyone is in emergency preparation.
……
meeting room.
"brigadier."
"Based on the investigation of Liangcheng during this period."
"I've gathered some intelligence."
"Liangcheng is about 120 kilometers away from our Longyuan Mountain, located northwest of our Longyuan Mountain."
"Liangcheng is about 180 kilometers away from Taiyuan, and Taiyuan is northeast of Liangcheng."
"Liangcheng, Longyuan Mountain and Taiyuan form a relatively neat triangle structure."
"Liangcheng is the largest grain-producing area in Shanxi Province and also has the second largest iron ore mine in the province, so it's rich in resources."
"So, the reason why the Japanese in Taiyuan were able to achieve self-sufficiency in military rations was because they relied on the food in Liangcheng."
"So the Japs are naturally very dedicated in defending Liangcheng."
"There are approximately 33 Japanese soldiers from the rd Mixed Brigade stationed in Liangcheng."
"In addition, the puppet army's 71st Army is also stationed in Liangcheng."
"The puppet army's 71st Army has over troops..."
"Generally, he is responsible for the security of the entire perimeter of Liangcheng, and also for transporting food to Taiyuan."
"The commander of the puppet army's 71st Army, Ren Xun, was originally from Sancheng."
"Then he defected with his troops and joined the Japanese."
"So the troops under his command are basically his old troops. Their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Compared with ordinary puppet troops, they are not on the same combat power level."
"It's also because he has someone with a gun, so this Ren Xun is considered half-king of Liangcheng."
“Holds some real power.”
"Even the Japs have to give him some respect."
"If we storm Liangcheng, this Ren Xun will be the biggest obstacle!"
"His 71st Army...is well-equipped, second only to the Japanese."
"They're equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. They even have a heavy artillery regiment!"
Zhuge Zhongxin, Director of the Intelligence Department, gave a brief introduction.
"I didn't expect him to be such a tough guy."
"A mixed brigade of devils plus an army of puppet troops."
"Old Lin."
"It's not that we can't fight."
"But after the fight, I'm afraid we'll also suffer some casualties."
"If we get into a fight, it won't be worth it."
"This account needs to be settled clearly."
"After all, Liangcheng is only 180 kilometers away from Taiyuan."
"If the Japanese motorcade supports us, they can arrive in a few hours. Even a large force can arrive in two days."
Although Li Yunlong likes to fight the Japanese, he cannot do a business that will lose money.
"Ahem...Brigade Commander."
"I think what Deputy Brigade Commander Li said is correct."
"When attacking Liangcheng, it's better to be cautious."
"The Japanese support troops have begun to arrive in Taiyuan."
"If we get into a tangle with an unfamiliar area, our troops will probably suffer heavy losses."
"brigadier."
"If that's the case, we might as well defend Longyuan Mountain to the death and improve its defense measures."
"With the terrain and firepower of our Longyuan Mountain, we may be able to resist the next wave of Japanese attacks."
Chang Naichao, chief of staff of the New 1st Brigade and commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, couldn't help but frown.
it's complicated.
From Chang Naichao's perspective, the current safe and stable tactics are most suitable for the overall development.
Lin Xu silently took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, then picked up the intelligence report handed over by Zhuge Zhongxin.
Everyone present had a copy of this intelligence document, which roughly described some basic conditions of Liangcheng, such as the height of Liangcheng's city walls, the approximate defense range, etc.
"Weiguo."
"What do you think?"
"From the look of you, do you have something to say?"
Lin Xu looked at Zhou Weiguo and exhaled a puff of smoke.
"brigadier."
"actually……"
"You should have seen it a long time ago, right?"
Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows.
"what's the situation?"
"Why are you two... still exchanging glances?"
"What's going on?"
Li Yunlong was anxious.
"Weiguo."
"Tell me about your plan."
Lin Xu put out the cigarette and smiled.
"Okay, Brigadier. Then I'll...show off my ugliness."
"In fact, to attack Liangcheng, we don't necessarily have to use a violent attack."
"According to intelligence, every month a batch of food is escorted to Taiyuan by the puppet army's 71st Army."
"According to the time calculation, this batch of grain will be shipped out again in five days."
"This is the military rations supplied to the Japanese in Taiyuan. If this batch of military rations is stolen..."
"What would Ren Xun, commander of the puppet army's 71st Army, do?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled slightly and stopped there.
"The military rations were lost..."
"Then this son of a bitch traitor must be anxious."
"Although this Ren Xun has some power, he is still a dog of the devils after all."
"It's okay on normal days, but if there's a problem with the military rations, given the devil's desperate nature, they'll definitely explode."
"By then, this Ren Xun will definitely do his utmost to recapture the military rations..."
"Old Zhou, Old Zhou."
"You kid..."
"He's got so many fucking tricks!"
Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up!
