Chapter 715 Aircraft Preparation for Replacement
Chapter 715 Aircraft Preparation for Replacement
Back at the airport, Fu Yidao ran to Yuan Shuai with tears in his eyes.
"Boss, I..."
Yuan Shuai held him in his arms.
"I'm sorry Boss, I couldn't bring them all back!"
Fu Yidao burst into tears.
After fighting so many battles, he had never cried as much as he did today.
Although only three brothers were sacrificed, he felt extremely aggrieved and helpless.
Because their aircraft are slightly backward.
If they hadn't relied on their advantage in the number of aircraft and firepower, I'm afraid they would have suffered even more deaths.
Yuan Shuai patted his back and comforted him.
"I know. It's not your fault. We pilots don't have much training time, and our fighter planes don't have as good maneuverability as the Japanese Zero planes! We also had two planes shot down! Let's go to the office for a meeting first!"
Yuan Shuai called all the pilots and technical teams together for a meeting to summarize the experience of this battle.
Seven of the 40 fighter jets were shot down directly, leaving 33, eight of which needed maintenance and could not take off to fight.
So, they now have only 25 aircraft that can take off and fight.
If the Japanese aircraft carrier takes off again to deal with them.
They clearly don't have enough fighter jets.
At the same time, Hu Dacai was also holding a post-war summary meeting.
However, the technical teams of the British and American armies pushed all the blame onto General Yuan, saying that his poor tactics and inability to command caused such heavy casualties.
Hu Dacai slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the American soldiers' noses and roared.
"Bad tactics? Improper command? We only had two planes shot down with the same number of planes. I want to ask you, when you were fighting the enemy planes, how many of your planes were shot down with the same number of planes?"
"Don't you know how many of your planes were shot down by the Japanese in the Chinese battlefield? Do you want me to tell you?"
Upon hearing this, the US military technical team lowered their heads.
Because the US military provided the national army with many aircraft.
However, when fighting with the Japanese, although many Japanese planes were shot down, the Chinese Air Force suffered a bloody defeat.
But many pilots died heroically and many planes never returned.
Some pilots basically fly for less than a week before they are cut off from the world and go to another world.
This time, General Yuan dispatched 40 fighter planes, but only 7 were shot down, while all the Japanese planes were destroyed.
It has created a miracle in the history of the Air Force.
But the British and American armies said this in order to promote their relatively backward aircraft.
Yuan Shuai was of course aware of this, and snorted coldly.
"The P40 is relatively outdated, and we hope to get the P51 Mustang fighter. The Spitfire gave us an old model with not very good performance, and we hope to get an upgraded Spitfire!"
"In addition, we hope that you will think carefully! If the devils destroy us, none of you will survive!"
Upon hearing this, all the British and American officers looked at each other in horror and hurried to call the British and American bases.
"What? You think we P40 are lagging behind?"
"Saying that our Spitfires aren't good enough!"
"Damn it, if he has the guts, he can just build a plane himself!"
"Buy P51, buy the upgraded version!"...
The British and American armies are in business to make money, so when they heard that they wanted to buy new aircraft, they certainly wouldn't refuse.
Originally, they wanted to sell the older P40 and Spitfire I to Yuan Shuai, but Yuan Shuai was rich!
The British and American armies quickly contacted their homeland and sent P5 and Spitfire II to Yuan Shuai.
At the same time, the Japanese army.
The Japanese officers of the navy's aircraft carrier group were so angry that they gritted their teeth and cursed.
"Damn it! So many planes were wiped out! You have disgraced the Imperial Japanese Air Force!"
"What? Qingfeng City was bombed by planes, causing heavy casualties!?"
"Bagayalu, send planes immediately to continue the bombing and blow up his airport!"
"General, according to our intelligence, Marshal Yuan should have at least 30 planes, and their planes have the advantage of high altitude. Whether it is collective tactics or single-plane combat, they are not much worse than our Japanese pilots! There are not many fighter planes left on the aircraft carrier. If we want to attack Marshal Yuan, these planes may not be enough!"
"How many planes are there on the aircraft carrier!"
"Two aircraft carriers and 100 planes, but we are ready to attack the national army at any time! At the same time, we must be ready to respond to the retaliation of the US and British forces! Take off and meet the enemy at any time."
"idiot!"
Deschamps was so angry that he punched the table hard.
An aircraft carrier must leave behind a certain number of aircraft to ensure its safety.
Otherwise, after all of them take off, if they encounter a surprise attack by aircraft, they will not have enough planes to take off to intercept them in the air, and they will be easily bombed.
Moreover, their fuel supplies had not yet arrived.
To ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier.
De Shang Zhengchuan could only suppress his anger and asked the rear to find a way to send them a plane, while also inquiring about the repair status of the roadbed airport.
Peicheng Airport is their land airport.
After the last bombing, the Japanese are rushing to repair the airport.
Now it is almost completed and the airport workers are working overtime.
The next morning, people at Peicheng Airport were still at work when the Japanese saw a plane coming from a distance.
"Bakayaro, it's an Allied plane!"
"Bakayaloo, two bombers! Ten fighters!"
"Quick, sound the air raid alarm and notify everyone to take shelter from the shells!"
The air raid sirens sounded.
Everyone at the airport was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were sweating.
The Japanese quickly drove all the workers to a safe area, away from the cabin.
At the same time, prepare the anti-aircraft guns for battle.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shuai's plane was flying at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.
The Japanese 98 anti-aircraft guns couldn’t hit it.
They could only watch as bombers and fighter planes dropped bombs on their airport.
For a moment, the entire airport was covered in smoke from the bomb.
The newly built runway, hangar, gas station, and ammunition depot were bombed to pieces.
Looking at the plane flying away, the Japanese on the ground pointed at it and roared.
"Bakayaloo, Bakayaloo..."
When the aircraft carrier heard that Peicheng Airport was bombed, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth and cursed.
But they had no choice because their Type 98 anti-aircraft guns were not powerful enough.
The reason why the British and American troops did not bomb the city before was because they hoped to use the Japanese to contain the national army.
Only if the Nationalist army is defeated can their ammunition and various weapons and ammunition be sold.
If they bombed the Japanese airport, what would the Japanese use to bomb the National Army?
Then the national army will rush over soon.
Wouldn't that mean this territory will become the territory of the National Army?
But Yuan Shuai is different, he is Chinese after all.
Many people in the team came from the National Army.
They hated the Japs. If they had enough planes and manpower, they would have flown directly to Penglai Island and bombed it.
