Chapter 421 Flying into the Blue Sky
Not long after staying in Nanyang, I rushed to Singapore again with bristles and tung oil, this time to learn how to fly.

The pig bristles and tung oil were delivered, and nearly one million US dollars was recorded again. In addition to the US$320 million of various military strategic materials purchased last time, a lot of goods have been shipped in China recently, and the total recovery of the payment is US$550 million.

Although the sales of the rest are slower, they can still be sold for more than 200 million US dollars. Strategic military supplies are such huge profits.

I went to the bank first, returned the loan, and redeemed more than 900 kilograms of gold.These days, gold is still more commonly used as a store of value.

Injected 100 million US dollars into the Far East Commercial Bank to facilitate the subsequent acquisition of pharmaceutical factories in the United States, as well as to expand the strength and scale of the firm itself.

I made another list, wrote down the materials and equipment that I needed to purchase next, left another 200 million US dollars, and got on the plane to Kuala Lumpur.

As the capital of Malaysia, the Far East Commercial Bank has a branch here, and everything about Li Mu is properly arranged. He lives in a novelty small western-style building, served by Filipino maids, and comes and goes by car to pick him up.

Most of the time every day is to go to the flying club and learn to fly a plane. He really wants to learn this.

In my free time, I walked around the neighborhood to learn about the local customs and customs, and I also got in touch with the local Chinese circle. I learned that he is the big boss behind the Far East Commercial Bank. He is so young, and he is Chinese. Quite surprised.

Many people rushed to make friends with him, Li Mu just responded lightly, he didn't care about it.On the contrary, there are quite a few Chinese youths who are technically savvy and educated, and if they have the opportunity in the future, they can recruit some to return to China.

Compared with future airplanes, airplanes of this era are actually quite easy to learn, with simple structures and simple controls.As long as they are willing to spend money and are not afraid of fuel consumption, ordinary people can master it within two or three months and carry out ordinary flying work.

With Li Mu's strong physical fitness, efficient learning ability, good money, and not afraid of fuel consumption, he can drive the trainer for hours of training a day.

In just half a month's time, it has already flown like a model.

It just so happened that the twelve Hawker 75 fighters he ordered arrived, and one was assembled immediately, and it was tested for a few days under the guidance of the instructor, and there was no problem at all.

Li Mu then stopped studying and decided to return to China.

All kinds of materials worth 200 million U.S. dollars that the Far East Commercial Bank was ordered to purchase were also ready.

This time, it's not all military strategic materials, and half of them are civilian materials, various commodities that are in short supply abroad, and some new technological products.

After all, the business of Muwu Trading Company must continue, and the development of the country also requires a large amount of legal currency. These civilian supplies can be sold at a price several times higher in the country, and a large amount of legal currency is recovered.

In addition, in addition to twelve Hawker 75 fighters, Li Mu also ordered a lot of supporting aerial bombs.

Hawker 75 fighter, in addition to two 12.7mm Browning machine guns fixed on the nose, is to carry aerial bombs.

He can carry one 250kg aerial bomb; or five 25kg aerial bombs; or ten [-]kg aerial bombs.

Li Mu ordered one hundred aerial bombs of the 250-kilogram class, five hundred aerial bombs of the 25-kilogram class, and one thousand aerial bombs of the [-]-kilogram class.

The price is naturally not cheap. A 250-kilogram aerial bomb costs [-] U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to a catty of gold, and [-] pieces is exactly [-] U.S. dollars.

A 25-kilogram aerial bomb is priced at one hundred dollars, and five hundred is also fifty thousand dollars; a [-]-kilogram aerial bomb is priced at fifty dollars, and one hundred is also fifty thousand dollars.

A total of 15 tons of aerial bombs, with a total price of [-] US dollars.

After receiving everything, Li Mu felt a little excited, and flew back to China the next day.

When I arrived in Wuhan, I unloaded two-thirds of the supplies and commodities to sell here, and then returned to Nanyang by motorboat.

The military airport has been repaired, and it is located in a hidden valley. From the outside, it is difficult to find that there is a military airport here.

Li Mu started recruiting airport-related ground staff and technicians two months ago.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the dozens of civil airports across the country were grounded, and many professionals were released.Guofu currently has hundreds of fighter planes, and some warlords, like Yan Laoxi, also have more than [-] fighter planes, and they all support many related technicians.

The recruitment went smoothly, and many people were quickly found. After passing the selection, the airport's ground staff and technical personnel were easily filled.

……

Soon, several fighter planes were assembled
After everything was ready, Li Mu climbed into the cockpit, put on the pilot's helmet, closed the transparent glass hatch above his head, and the plane started slowly.Feeling the propulsion of acceleration and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, my heart tensed involuntarily.

The plane taxied on the runway for a while, and instantly lifted into the air. The strong propulsion forced him to be firmly pressed on the seat, his heart was beating, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the scene flashed before his eyes , people have a strange stimulation.

A few days later, Li Mu was inexplicably excited to fly a fighter jet again, and his palms were slightly sweaty.It is probably every boy's dream to drive a fighter jet, fly freely and soar in the blue sky.

After flying steadily for a few minutes, and getting familiar with the piloting of the fighter again, Li Mu held the joystick in his hand and began to practice several routine flying postures and movements of the fighter.

Gently move the joystick, the plane will leave the level flight state, start to turn, and draw a beautiful arc in the sky.

In the following time, the Hawker 75 fighter jet hovered, dived, rolled, jumped, turned sideways, yawed, pitched, etc. After practicing for more than two hours, Li Mu was overly addicted and started to return.

After the fighter plane landed at the airport, Li Mu got off the plane and handed it over to technicians for inspection and maintenance. He went to a small western-style building he built for himself nearby, and asked someone to find a detailed map from Nanyang to Xuzhou, and began to study it.

Xuzhou is a transportation hub connecting Jinpu Railway and Longhai Railway, and also the hub of the four provinces of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui, and has important strategic value

In January of this year, Xiaobenzi tried in vain to use Jinling and Jinan as bases to capture the Xuzhou area from the south and north, thereby opening up the occupied areas of North China and Central China.

In order to contain Xiaobenzi's main force and delay the attack on Wuhan, Guofu assembled heavy troops in Xuzhou to block Xiaobenzi's attack.

Commanded by Commander Hata Shunroku of the Central China Dispatch Army and Terauchi Shouichi, Commander of the North China Front Army, the Xiaobenzi consisted of 8 divisions, 3 brigades, and 2 detachments of about 24 people.

On the Guofu side, it was Commander Li, the commander of the fifth war zone, and the two sides fought fiercely.

The battle will not come to an end until May.

It's the beginning of March now, the frontline is fighting fiercely, and it's not an option to live in Nanyang. Li Mu plans to fly to the frontline to see if he encounters the devils and blows up a few of them.

While studying the map, he asked the Military Intelligence Department to report the situation on the front line in Xuzhou in time.

That day, Li Mu recharged his energy, got up early the next day, finished his daily exercise, had breakfast, and the fighter jets over there were ready.

This time, not only the 12.7mm Browning nose-fixed machine gun located at the nose of the fighter jet was installed, but also five [-]-kilogram aerial bombs were also hung properly.

Li Mu climbed onto the plane, closed the hatch, took a deep breath, the fighter plane began to taxi, and flew into the blue sky after a while, heading towards Xuzhou, all the way.

This aircraft has a top speed of 480 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of [-] kilometers, and a combat radius of about [-] to [-] kilometers.

The straight-line distance from Nanyang to Xuzhou is also about [-] kilometers. As long as it is not too rough, you will have about [-] minutes of free time after arriving at the place.

When the time comes, you must return, otherwise the plane will run out of fuel halfway and it will be ridiculous.

Along the way, Li Mu maintained an altitude of 5000 meters and a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers per hour. After more than an hour, he appeared near Xuzhou.

As a fighter pilot, the first difficulty a novice encounters is identifying the way, which is different from the ground. If you don’t know which city is where, you can still ask.

In the air, especially in this era, there is no navigation, no radar, and you rely on your own eyes to identify directions and cities.

Standing at an altitude of several thousand meters, looking at the low-rise houses below, they are actually similar. How can I accurately identify which city it is, especially like now, it is [-] kilometers apart and I have never been here before, so it is even more difficult to identify.

Fortunately, he made a lot of preparations yesterday and studied the map for a long time.The city is changing too fast, and there are not many landmark buildings these days, so it is not easy to identify, but mountains, rivers, and lakes are the best signs for fighter pilots to recognize the way.

Flying around in the vicinity, Li Mu vaguely recognized a lake. Using this as coordinates, Li Mu identified the direction and began to fly towards the battle zone between the two sides.

After flying for a while, Li Mu found several pillars of smoke in the distance. Li Mu lowered the flying altitude and found that this seemed to be a town, and many places were on fire.

A dozen miles away from the town, there is a group of devil soldiers, about three to four hundred people, who are leaving.

Looking at the town below, Li Mu's heart beat wildly, with a bad premonition, he lowered his speed and altitude again, and drove over the town.

The scene in front of him made Li Mu, who was not prone to emotional fluctuations, instantly felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead, and he became extremely angry.

In the whole town, there was not a living person to be seen. There were ruins and corpses floating in the wild. On a small street, many corpses were lying here and there. The blood stained the ground, and then condensed into purple black.

There were men and women, old people, women, and children. Men opened their mouths and twisted their bodies.The women's clothes were in tatters, many of them were raped by those beasts, and then were pierced with bayonets, their eyes widened, and they died with grievances, and some children were hung on trees...It was extremely miserable.

A few hundred meters away, Li Mu seemed to smell the gunpowder smoke and blood on the ground. Taking advantage of the gloomy sky, his heart was extremely heavy and his chest was congested.

At this time, Xiaobenzi could no longer be regarded as a human being, but had become an inhuman beast, completely exposing his own dark side.

When killing wild animals, don't be soft-hearted.

With a pull of the joystick, the plane climbed rapidly, and soon reached an altitude of 3000 meters, flying all the way in the direction the little devil was walking.

After more than a minute, the little devil's troops were close in sight. Li Mu swooped down and threw five [-]-kilogram aerial bombs towards the little devil.

Over there, the little devils also heard the buzzing of the plane. Since the beginning of the war, they have been in control of the air and thought it was their own plane.

It was only when the plane flew over the head several hundred meters high that they realized that something was wrong, but five aerial bombs had already been dropped, and the team of the little devils suddenly became chaotic, and they began to avoid and run around.

Unfortunately, it was discovered too late. A few seconds later, five aerial bombs totaling 250 kilograms exploded on the ground.

Like a thunderclap, the ground trembled, and the team of little devils swept across as if they had been harvested, clearing out a large area.

The devils seemed to be frightened stupid, some ran around, shouted, and some sat there blankly.

Some others reacted quickly and organized everyone to avoid the plane.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Mu felt that there were not enough deaths, not miserable enough.The plane circled in the air, turned its nose, set up two 12.7mm Browning machine guns, and swooped down again towards the kid.

Two 12.7mm Browning machine guns also rang out instantly.The bullets were like two fiery snakes spewing out, sweeping towards the little devil on the ground.

The little devils on the ground were disturbed again, and they ran away one after another.Li Mu would not let them go like this. The plane circled around, turned around, set up the machine gun, and swooped down to shoot again.

After three or four times in a row, some little devils also realized that this was not enough, and began to organize their hands, avoiding and fighting back at the same time.

Li Mu swooped down again, and the two fire snakes shot at the group of people who had just gathered, and when the other party dodged, they also started to shoot back with bang bang bang.

Hearing the sound of bullets hitting the wings and belly of the plane, Li Mu calmed down a lot. Although it is not a heavy machine gun, it is difficult to shoot down the plane with bullets from ordinary firearms, but it is not impossible.

As soon as I thought of this, several planes flew over in the distance. Even if Li Mudang recognized them, they belonged to Xiaoben, and the reinforcements came so quickly.

Several planes dispersed suddenly, as if they wanted to encircle them. Li Mu looked at the devils on the ground with more than half of their casualties, and finally let out a lot of the pent-up anger in his heart.

With a pull of the joystick, the plane instantly climbed into the sky, and jumped out before the Devil's plane closed in.

As a novice, there is no need to be a hero and fight with devils.Even if the performance of the fighter plane is better than that of the devil, shooting down one or two of the devil's planes will easily put him in a dangerous situation, and the gain outweighs the loss.

He knows his own importance, and he can play a more important role outside the battlefield, which cannot be compared with just a few planes of the devil.

With these in mind, the fighter plane has already rushed to an altitude of 300 meters and flew into the distance.The top speed of the little devil's current fighter is only more than [-] kilometers per hour, and its performance is also much worse in all aspects. How can it catch up.After a while, it was completely lost and had to return.
