Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"No! No! No! This is too precious! No reward for no merit!"

Chennault waved his hands again and again. The market value of this small box of cigars was as high as $600, which could lower the wages of ordinary American workers for a year.

"We will all be our own people in the future, why are you being polite to me!"

This box of cigars is indeed not cheap. The system sells for as much as 100 wealth points. If you buy rice, you can buy 2500 catties, which is enough for a large family's total rations for a year.

But for Yang Fan, who earns 8000 million wealth points every month, a mere 100 wealth points is no different from plucking a leg hair on his leg.

"Okay, thank you so much!"

After evading it several times in a row, seeing that Yang Fan really wanted to give benefits sincerely, Chennault finally had no choice but to happily accept it, and put it in his briefcase with a smile on his face.

Looking down at his watch, Yang Fan immediately said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Since there are still two hours before dark, let's fly to Tonggu Airport now!"

"Okay! Ok!"

Chennault nodded again and again, originally he wanted to have a sneak peek, but now that he happily received two expensive gifts, he was overjoyed for a long time, and he would never say no to Yang Fan.

So, soon Yang Fan called Liao Youtian and asked him to take a helicopter with him to Tonggu Airport, which was under urgent construction and expansion.

According to Yang Fan's expectation, in addition to Tonggu Airport, a military airport of the same size will be built in Mandalay!

For the location selection of these two military airports, Yang Fan has carefully considered. He can't rely too much on the front, and he can't rely on the queen. He must advance, attack and retreat!

The straight-line distance between Donggu Airport and Yangon is 230 kilometers, and it only takes 20 minutes. In the case of radar warning, it is completely possible to participate in the war before the arrival of the Japanese aircraft.

At the same time, Tonggu Airport can also take into account the defense line along the lower reaches of the Salween River to protect the southern Myanmar region.

The Mandalay Airport can defend the northern Myanmar region, protect Lashio, Ryan Qiang, the Burma Highway, and the future industrial bases in northern Myanmar.

Once the two airports are built, they can radiate the airspace of the entire Myanmar and realize cross protection for the industrial zone in northern Myanmar!

Half an hour later, the helicopter landed at Tonggu Airport, which was under construction.

Chapter 816

"Wow, General Yang, this is really amazing! This, this air force base is too huge, right?"

As soon as he flew over Tonggu Airport, Chennault was deeply impressed by the big scene and big production below.

At a glance, within tens of square kilometers, densely packed construction teams are working hard.

The tens of thousands of construction workers and the large area of ​​tens of square kilometers are not the key points, but the key point is that the degree of mechanized construction is very high.

Excavators, bulldozers, rock crushers, loaders, road rollers, mixers, concrete pumps, concrete pump trucks, concrete mixing stations and other construction equipment can be seen everywhere.

Many of the machinery and equipment are advanced construction equipment that Chennault has never seen before. Just looking at these luxurious lineups, Chennault has an eye-opening shock.

According to the plan, the total area of ​​the Tonggu military airport built on the hillside will be 30 square kilometers. Not only will the mountains to the east of the airport be hollowed out to build several huge hangars that can accommodate thousands of combat aircraft.

High walls will be built around the airport, power grids will be pulled, and at least two defensive cordons will be built. Military camps, dormitories, supporting living facilities, radar stations, signal base stations, command towers, underground command rooms, underground air defense rooms, etc. will also be built inside the airport. A series of military installations.

Its scale will not be much smaller than that of Gaomi Airport. Anyway, the land is not valuable, so you can enclose the land yourself, and you need as much human resources as you want.

Except that construction equipment, cement, and steel bars need to be purchased in large quantities from the system, other construction materials can basically be purchased locally or directly mined.

Therefore, although the construction of such a large military airport will consume huge manpower and material resources, the actual construction cost is not high.

Stepping off the plane, stepping on the hard concrete floor, and looking around, Chennault asked in shock, "General Yang, isn't this too wasteful? How much financial and material resources will be spent on this concrete runway alone?" ?”

At present, tens of thousands of square meters of concrete ground have been hardened in the core area, and more than 500 combat aircraft can take off at the same time. A super-large military airport built on the mountain has a considerable scale.

In fact, the current aircraft is still dominated by propeller engines, and the requirements for aircraft take-off and landing on the airport are not high, and the flat and firm ground can allow the aircraft to take off and land.

Therefore, the vast majority of airports directly use grassland, and even permanent military bases will only use part of the concrete runway. It is absolutely impossible to create such a vast concrete runway as exaggerated by Yang Fan.

Because in the current war years, cement is much more expensive than gold in later generations, and the supply of fortifications is in short supply. Even Americans with deep pockets will not be "extravagant" and "extravagant" like Yang Fan!

"It's really not a big deal. I always like to be perfect, and I have to do everything in one job. Although it costs a lot more, it is still much more durable than a dirt runway!"

Yang Fan smiled lightly, and now it seems that he is a little extravagant, but in fact he has thought carefully, and he is not blindly rich and self-willed.

Because Myanmar has a subtropical climate and is extremely rich in rain, if it rains continuously for several days, the soil surface will definitely become muddy, which will greatly affect the landing of combat aircraft.

Moreover, Yang Fan also knew that by the end of World War II, aircraft would enter the jet age, and aircraft would become heavier and heavier. Ordinary ground would not be sufficient for jet aircraft to take off and land. At that time, cement runways would have to be used.

Although the jets may not appear until two or three years later, you can't go wrong with preparation and layout in advance!

"Okay! As long as General Yang has enough financial and material resources, overhauling the concrete runway is naturally the best!"

Thinking of the two heavy meeting gifts from Yang Fan and the local arrogance exuding from him, Chennault quickly felt relieved, although he didn't know where Yang Fan got so many steel bars and cement, and where did he get so many construction equipment.

But this is really unimportant, as long as Yang Fan is not anticlimactic, and is not doing a good job to save face, then there is no problem.

"Don't worry, there is an old saying in China, there is no diamond and no porcelain work, how can I be fat with a swollen face!"

Yang Fan smiled, then pointed to Wang Liguo beside him and said, "General Chennault, I would like to introduce you solemnly. This is General Wang Liguo, commander of the Chinese Huben Army's air force. He is now in full charge of the Myanmar theater air force!"

Chennault quickly stretched out his hands to Wang Liguo and said, "Oh, General Wang, hello! I'm very glad to see you here!"

Wang Liguo quickly replied in English: "General Chennault, hello! I am also very happy to meet you. You are a good friend of our Huaxia Kingdom!"

After Wang Liguo chatted with Chennault for a few words, Yang Fan pointed at the mountain in front of him that had been transformed into a decent shape and said, "General Chennault, are you interested in taking a look inside?"

"Okay!"

Chennault nodded happily. From a distance, he could see that the mountains in the distance had been meticulously transformed into permanent fortifications, and several stone caves with a width of [-] meters were opened at the foot of the mountain.

Just looking from the outside, Chennault could feel a tall and powerful aura rushing towards him.

"Then please!"

Yang Fan smiled and waved his hands, and then walked to the cave hangar one kilometer away under the guidance of the airport manager Wang Liguo.

Although Yang Fan has built a very complete air defense radar network in Myanmar, it is possible to give early warning and have enough time to take off to meet the enemy.

However, there is a saying that "only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to prevent a thief", Yang Fan still thinks it is safest to put the plane in the mountain hangar.

Otherwise, as long as the devils swarm frequently harass small-scale, the air defense alarm will continue to sound. Even if the pilot can stand by for 24 hours, it is absolutely impossible to take off to meet the enemy immediately every time the alarm sounds.

If that's the case, not only will there be a wolf effect, I'm afraid that the pilots who have been mentally stressed for a long time will have a nervous breakdown before they have the opportunity to really be tough with the little devil air force.

And as far as Yang Fan knows, the number of planes destroyed at ground airports during World War II is not much different from the number of planes destroyed in air battles.

Therefore, rather than being made nervous, or being attacked by devils and blowing up a large area, it is better to spend more effort and put it directly into a strong and safe cave hangar to save worry and effort!

Yang Fan has long been accustomed to cave hangars, but this is the first time Chennault has seen such hangars today. From the moment he walked into the hangars, it was like a country bumpkin who came to the city to see everything strange and new. Continual praise!

Chapter 817 Ten Thousand Points of Real Damage

"Wow! God, this is amazing, General Yang, you actually built such an indestructible cave hangar?"

"Haha! With such a strong hangar, we don't have to worry about the Japanese air force bombing the airport. Our air force can advance and retreat, and we are already in an invincible position!"

"Wow, General Yang, you actually have so many fighters? And they are the most advanced P-51 fighters and P-38 heavy fighters"

"General Yang, I strongly demand that the US air force task force stationed in China go to Burma immediately to participate in the air defense battle!"

After walking around the No. [-] cave hangar, Chennault was dazzled. He really couldn't figure out what kind of magical method Yang Fan used to create such a large-scale project in just one month. Cave Hangar.

Just looking at the huge space that is six to seven meters high, three to four hundred meters wide, and six to seven hundred meters deep is enough to shock people beyond measure.

And walking into the hangar, when Chennault saw those P-51 fighter jets and P-38 heavy fighter jets that he had never piloted before, his eyes were red with excitement, and he wished he could go up and fuck them hard now. Fan!

"Of course we welcome you!"

Yang Fan slapped a few times with a smile, and then said: "It's just that the first phase of Tonggu Airport's construction has not yet been completed, and many details still need to be further improved.

In addition, the cooperation method and the merger of the command system between the two parties need to be clarified and finalized first, otherwise one plus one will be less than two! "

"I understand! Anything can be discussed. Our goals are the same. As long as we can beat the Japanese air force and attack Japanese ground targets, we can seek common ground while reserving differences!"

Chennault nodded and smiled in a good mood. Naturally, he knew that the air forces of the two sides belonged to different systems, and there would definitely be some conflicts of interest and ideas. But for him, these are really not that important now.

Not to mention anything else, the volunteer team led by Chennault has fought against the Devil Air Force many times before, and has created many records of winning more with less, and has long sparked hatred with the Devil Air Force.

Coupled with war crimes such as the Japanese air raid on Pearl Harbor, the occupation of the Pacific Islands, and the Philippines, the American people hated the Japanese invaders deeply, and forged an irresolvable blood feud.

Therefore, what Chennault wanted to do most was to wipe out these Japanese invaders completely, and avenge the dead comrades in arms and countless American compatriots.

"That way there will be no problem! For specific cooperation matters, you can talk to General Wang in detail. I have authorized him to handle all matters of the Myanmar Air Force!"

Yang Fan has always cared about killing and not burying, and he didn't have the time to do these trivial things by himself, so he directly dumped the blame on Wang Liguo without hesitation!

"Okay! Ok!"

Chennault nodded again and again, and then stretched out his hands to Wang Liguo again: "General Wang, please take care of me in the future!"

"Everything is negotiable!"

With a smile on his face, Wang Liguo shook hands tightly and said, "General Chennault, we will be our own people from now on. Our Flying Tigers are very happy to fight side by side with the US Air Force Task Force in China to eliminate the fascist invaders together!"

Wang Liguo was really happy. In the past, the Flying Tigers of the Huaxia Huben Army fought independently. Now that they have firm allies, they fight more sharply and vigorously!

Chennault asked with a smile: "General Wang, if it's convenient, can you tell me how many combat aircraft you have?"

"This question, let me answer it!"

见王砺国投来为难的眼神，杨帆当即便接过话道：“我们目前有900架P-51野马战斗机和424架P-38战斗机，另有各类轰炸机80余架。

Among them, in Myanmar, there are 200 P-51 Mustang fighters, 100 P-38 fighters, and 30 bombers. "

Yang Fan originally placed a huge order for 1000 P-38 fighter jets in the United States, but just three months after the delivery, the Japanese devils attacked Pearl Harbor and beat the United States to the ground.

The furious President Roosevelt immediately held a press conference in his own name, declaring war on Japan to the world.

So soon, the industrial machines and war machines of the United States were activated, so all walks of life entered a wartime state, and the P-38 fighter jets originally produced for Yang Fan were also intercepted and aided by the British!

Coupled with the loss of training and battle, Yang Fan only has 424 Mustang fighters in his hands now.

On the contrary, the Dongxing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant is already on the right track. Currently, it can produce 400 P-51 Mustang fighter jets per month. Including the original inventory, there are a total of more than 930 aircraft in inventory!

"Okay! General Yang, is this true? You actually have such a powerful air force, so is there any need to be afraid of the Japanese air force?"

Chennault was stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't believe his ears at all, and looked at Yang Fan with a dazed expression.

You know, Chennault has exhausted his thoughts and efforts. So far, he only has three squadrons under his command, and there are only more than a hundred combat aircraft in total.

In this way, Chennault felt very good for a time, fought several battles, took advantage of a lot, destroyed no less than 40 Japanese aircraft, and lost only 9 of his own.

However, there is no harm without comparison. When he heard Yang Fan's gorgeous data, Chennault only felt that he had received [-] points of real damage, and his heart almost collapsed!

It really is inhumane!

If, at this time, Yang Fan told Chennault that his own airport can produce 400 Mustang fighter jets every month, and that his manor can buy 100 more with a fixed income, I am afraid that Comrade Chen would really be so angry that he vomited blood and died!

After a long time, Chennault regained his composure and asked in a nasty voice: "General Yang, you have such a powerful air force, why don't you send more to Burma, that way, you don't have to be afraid of the Japanese army at all.

With such a powerful air force alone, the Japanese army can be wiped out, unable to move an inch, and even defeat the Japanese directly. There is no need to fight so hard? "

Chennault is a soldier who strongly believes in the supremacy of air power. He once confidently believed that the air force alone could defeat the Japanese, and proposed an air combat plan to use the air force to counterattack Burma.

This low-cost counterattack plan was once highly valued and evaluated by Chairman Jiang.

But obviously, this is just wishful thinking. Don't say that it is during World War II. Even with the highly developed air force technology in the 21st century, don't think that the air force alone can destroy and occupy a country.

Otherwise, countries such as Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq would not have stalemate wars!

Chapter 818

"The air force can cause losses to the enemy, but it is not the key to victory. To decide the outcome, the army must occupy the ground. What's more, the air force of the little devil is really not vegetarian!"

Yang Fan shook his head lightly, if the little devil was an unchanging robot NPC, with the military strength in his hand, he should have gone out to kill the Quartet long ago.

However, the Japanese devils have become much stronger in all aspects. The independent air force alone now has more than 4000 combat aircraft of various types, and most of them are fighter jets with advanced performance.

Although it is said that in order to pursue high performance and high maneuverability, the Zero fighter saves effort and reduces materials, resulting in extremely low defense, and has the "reputation" of air lighters.

However, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and the Zero fighter, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, can still cause great damage to its own air force.

If it is consumed too quickly and cannot keep up with the replenishment, the Huben Army Air Force will only become weaker and weaker, so Yang Fan plans to develop wretchedly for a while.

Taking advantage of high performance and home court advantage, first consume the vitality of the Japanese Air Force, and accumulate small victories into big victories.

Especially now that the two sides are fighting, Yang Fan has to keep the main force of the air force at home, so that the Japanese devils who become angry can vent their anger on the Shandong Peninsula.

The Shandong Peninsula, which has been painstakingly managed, is the foundation for Yang Fan to live and work. There is not only an extremely complete industrial system, but also hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Huben Army and 1600 million people who fully support him!

Yang Fan did not explain too much about his strategic layout and the most real thoughts in his heart. After chatting for a few words, he said emphatically:

"General Chennault, you can rest assured that not only the U.S. government will continue to provide combat aircraft!
