my bright sword career

Chapter 288
Chongqing Dazhongba Airport Air Force Expels the Fourth Brigade Station
Today, a group of pilots sat on the lawn as usual, looking at the scattered biplanes on the runway. A pilot wearing a leather jacket and a fur cap complained to a man in his thirties next to him: "Captain, we haven't had daily training for a week. If this continues, I might not even be able to fly the plane."

The captain snorted softly: "Don't you think I don't want to, but now we only have these few planes left, and the spare parts are almost exhausted. If you let you fly openly, the spare parts will not be used for half a month." We have to use up all of them, once something happens, how can we go to heaven?"

"But you can't just sit like this." A pilot next to him couldn't help but said: "If we sit like this, even if the devil's plane comes, we can only be living targets after we go to the sky, so what's the matter?" use it?"

"It's just...Old Yu is right, we can't go on like this."

"Captain, tell your superiors, let them find a way to get a batch of spare parts and fuel back, the training can't stop."

The pilots next to him spoke one after another.

The captain didn't say a word. Today's Huaxia estuary has been completely occupied by the Japanese army, and foreign military aid can't come in at all, let alone spare parts, and there is not even much aviation kerosene.

The air force is no better than the infantry. In order to maintain their state, pilots must maintain a certain period of flight training. If they do not train for a long time, the pilot's physical function and flying awareness will decline rapidly. Once a war starts, it will be fatal to the pilot. That's why it is said that a qualified pilot is piled up with gold.

Just when the pilots were full of complaints, a major ran over sweating profusely.

"Captain Chu...Captain Chu...Commander Zhou has come to our airport and wants to see you by name."

"Commander Zhou wants to see me?"

As soon as Chu Yuan heard this, he quickly stood up and hurriedly followed the major towards the control tower.

When he arrived at the control tower, he saw a middle-aged man with a fat body staring at him intently. This man was Zhou Zhirou, the second-rank general who was then the commander-in-chief of the Air Force.

Chu Yuan said loudly: "Report... Chu Yuan, the captain of the National Revolutionary Army's Air Force Deportation Fourth Brigade, was ordered to arrive, please give instructions to the commander-in-chief!"

Zhou Zhirou took a look at him, and said kindly, "Captain Chu, how is the situation of the four teams?"

Chu Yuan smiled wryly: "Commander, you are not ignorant of our situation. We are short of aircraft, spare parts, fuel, and everything except people. The brothers of the Fourth Brigade have not conducted daily training for more than a week. The following can be described as Complaints abound, although the staff department tried their best to appease, but the people below are still fluctuating."

Zhou Zhirou sighed softly: "The country is weak, what can I do as the commander of the Air Force, the Air Force is still able to retain this wealth, which is the result of the hard work of all colleagues."

Chu Yuan didn't speak anymore, so why didn't he know Zhou Zhirou's difficulty.

Now the access to foreign aid has been cut off. Before the war, the Huaxia Air Force still had more than 300 aircraft that could be used for combat. Now I am afraid that there are less than [-], and they are all old-fashioned biplane fighters. Even if they barely take off, they can only serve as Japanese. target.

But even so, they still carefully maintain those old planes every day, because they know that these planes are already the last barrier of China's summer sky.

Looking at the silent Chu Yuan, Zhou Zhirou felt very uncomfortable, and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think too much, now I have a chance for you to equip a new type of fighter, it depends on you Can't catch it."

"Equipped with new fighters? What fighters? How many are there?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan, who was still a little sad in his heart, became excited like a chicken blood, and his eyes also showed a light of excitement.

"That's right." Zhou Zhirou coughed softly, "You should know about the Japanese raid on Zhongtiao Mountain a few days ago, right?"

"I heard." Chu Yuan nodded.

"There was a Liantai militia in the World War II zone in Shanxi. I don't know what method the head of the Liantai militia used to get a lot of advanced new aircraft including bombers and fighters. He also formed a team with dozens of Flying Squadron of Aircraft.

Just yesterday, this flying brigade launched a fierce air battle with the Japanese Third Flying Group in Zhongtiao Mountain, confronting more than 24 Japanese planes with 70 planes, and shot down 52 Japanese planes at the cost of losing seven fighter planes , achieved a major victory! "

"What... and this matter?"

Chu Yuan was taken aback, 20 vs 70, this is already a huge contrast, the opponent can still win almost 7:1, who is this group of people?
"No!" Chu Yuan quickly recalled, and looked at Zhou Zhirou sharply, "Sir, is there something wrong with the plane they are flying in this victory?"

"Really?" Zhou Zhirou glanced at Chu Yuan appreciatively, "According to the information sent by our lurking agents in Liantai County, the fighter planes equipped by the Liantai Flying Brigade are the latest and most realistic fighter planes that the Americans just successfully tested this month. Both firepower and mobility are top fighters in the world today.

Their ability to achieve this victory is inseparable from this fighter.But the Liantai Flying Brigade also has a fatal weakness, that is, the number of their pilots is too small, so yesterday he made a request to us through Chief He Yingqin, hoping that we can allocate a group of experienced pilots to them.

After careful consideration, I decided to agree to his request, so I immediately thought of your four brigades. "

"What... transfer our pilot to the Liantai Flying Squadron? Are you kidding me?"

Chu Yuan became angry as soon as he heard it. This is like if you want to transfer the backbone of a central enterprise to a small local private enterprise in future generations, they will definitely get angry.

"You listen to me first."

Zhou Zhirou signaled to Chu Yuan to be safe and not to be impatient, "I was not happy at first, our pilots are carefully selected through untold hardships, how can we transfer them to a militia, it is too cheap.

But then I came up with another idea, which is to use the pilot to change the plane.As many pilots as the other party wants, they need to exchange as many fighter planes. What do you think? "

"This one……"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan, who was still angry at first, fell silent like a duck with its neck stuck.A thought immediately came to his mind, one plane for one pilot, this seems like a good deal.
