Section 2 Air Force (2)

Zhuang Jihua didn't know that he was just a "new star" in Gao Zhihang's eyes or a "nova" in the officialdom. He smiled and said: "Getting for glory is to win glory. The Chinese people need glory now, and China also needs glory now."

Although he didn't know what happened, Gao Zhihang's attitude made Zhuang Jihua understand that there must be a reason, so he persuaded him tactfully, but Gao Zhihang did not answer this. He said lightly: "What China needs is blood, and use blood to wash away the shame."

"Well, you have to use the blood of the enemy." Zhuang Jihua said seriously: "The Air Force must play an important role in future wars. This time we imported 100 aircraft and obtained a production license to produce aircraft, so we will have more aircraft in the future, but it makes me worry about being pilots," Zhuang Jihua thought, "The Air Force is a complex service, more complex than the Army. Aircraft is one aspect. What about hardware and software? It is a pilot, an airport, maintenance and repair; I don't understand the Air Force. In recent years, I have only paid attention to the Army and have insufficient investment in the Air Force, but I have not paid any attention at all. We have trained some pilots, of course they have not received professional air combat training."

Zhuang Jihua said as he turned sideways and signaled Gao Zhihang to walk into the office with him. Gao Zhihang and the other two followed him. After entering the room, Zhuang Jihua sat on the sofa, and then signaled Gao Zhihang to sit next to him. Li Guidan and Le Yiqin sat on the single sofa on both sides.

"Secretary Gong, go and invite Director Xue, please bring the information he prepared together," Zhuang Jihua said to Gong Xiuhua: "We have built more than a dozen airports, trained some ground staff, and built twenty-four radar stations, seventeen in Sichuan, three in Guizhou, and four in Yunnan. By the way. Do you know radar?"

"See it." Gao Zhihang nodded and said, "Eight were built around Nanjing."

"This is not good. You need to understand the role of radar in detail. It not only has the function of air defense, but also guides pilots to fight." Zhuang Jihua said: "Zhihang, you must explore this tactics as soon as possible. Compared with the Japanese Air Force, our air force is still very weak. We need to find new methods and tactics to enhance our combat effectiveness."

Gao Zhihang had seen radar, but he didn't know it very well. He felt a little innovative when he heard Zhuang Jihua say this. He thought for a while and said: "Radar is top secret. There is not much radar ground in the Air Force. The radar is managed by the Nanjing Garrison Command. The information obtained from the radar will be notified by the garrison headquarters."

Zhuang Jihua's head was dizzy. How did the radar reach the army? Didn't it say it was air defense? Didn't Wang Shuming see it? How could it reach the army?

"This is wrong, this is absolutely wrong. Radar is a powerful weapon in the air force and should be assigned to the air force." Zhuang Jihua stood up and scratched the back of his head: "In this way, Zhihang, the radar of the Southwest Pacification Office is assigned to the air force. You can combine the radar with the air combat field as soon as possible and summarize the experience. Then report to the chairman. Please ask the chairman to assign the radar to the air force. I will also make the same suggestions to the chairman. Gao Zhihang stood up quickly: "Yes, Zhihang will definitely complete the task."

"Zhihang, radar has a great effect. Our army can be discovered by the altitude, orientation, and quantity. It is clearly displayed on our radar screen. What this means to the Air Force? Zhihang, I think you should be very clear about it."

This not only made Gao Zhihang strongly boost Li Guidanle with his piano spirit. They were all pilots of the drive aircraft and were all familiar with air combat tactics. At this time, air combat mainly relies on pilots to find enemy aircraft in the sky. Whoever discovers the enemy aircraft first will get a seven-point chance of victory. If the enemy is aware of all the enemy's height, direction, number and lines, it means that we can ambush enemy aircraft in any airspace.

"The chief still doesn't understand the Air Force. These words cannot be said by those who understand the Air Force." Gao Zhihang smiled. Within a few minutes, his favorability for Zhuang Jihua increased greatly. This "newcomer" is very different from those bureaucrats in Nanjing. He is somewhat similar to Wang Shuming. He is a person who dares to fly a plane into the sky.

"Apart from these words, I really don't understand anything," Zhuang Jihua smiled at them, and then said seriously: "Zhihang, since you are here, I will hand over the Air Force to you. Listen, I want a strong air force team, so no matter what you take or what you need, you can find Li Zaitian or me. If you can't get what you want, I will be responsible for me. But if you can't take out a strong team, you will be asked only. All the power of the flight team belongs to you, including the appointment of officers at all levels, logistics, airport commanders, oil depots, and all officers are appointed by you. Also, all the institutions, command systems, base facilities, and all the places we have built are under your control. If you think it is inappropriate and need to make adjustments or simply cancel, you can take action first and report later, but just give me a report later."

Zhuang Jihua's words surprised Gao Zhihang. The power was fully and thorough. Gao Zhihang was stunned for a moment before hurriedly said: "Sir, this is inappropriate,..."

"There's nothing wrong," Zhuang Jihua interrupted him and said seriously: "I know nothing about the Air Force and can only provide you with logistics. Don't be happy. I have given you a lot of power, but you also have a lot of responsibility. You don't have much time. Look at the activities of the Japanese in North China this year. Maybe we will fight this year."

After the Xi'an Incident, the Japanese increased their troops in North China and held military exercises frequently. On the other hand, Kenji Doihara also stepped up his efforts to force Song Zheyuan to implement the North China Autonomous Movement, and traitors all over the streets were running; the National Government also made some preparations to speed up transportation construction, built the railway from Datong to Fenglingdu, and the Xibao section of the Longhai Railway (Xi'an to Baoji); at the same time, a large number of roads were built in the North China Plain, and 100,000 kilometers have been built from 35 years to now.

One of the main reasons why Chiang Kai-shek used such great efforts to develop transportation is that several provinces in North China were not controlled by the central government, Chahar, Chahar, Shanxi was controlled by Yan Xishan, and most of Shandong was controlled by Han Fuju. The only thing the central government could control was Henan. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek deployed a large number of troops in Henan and Shaanxi, and also deployed some troops in Shanxi under the pretext of suppressing the Communist Party. However, Hebei, Chahar, and Suiyuan only had a very small number of military police and military-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-chief-

"Is what the newspaper said true?" Li Guidan couldn't help asking. Gao Zhihang and others knew a little about the situation in North China. The Ta Kung Pao and Shen Bao issued warnings one after another, but this was the first time it had been reported from people like Zhuang Jihua.

"This is my personal judgment," Zhuang Jihua said in a calm expression, but in a stressful tone: "But all preparations for the Southwest Development Team are based on this schedule."

Li Guidan and Le Yiqin had no feelings, but Gao Zhihang felt a stern heart. He looked at Zhuang Jihua's suppressed excitement and stood up and said loudly: "Yes, I promise to train a force that can fight tough battles in the shortest time."

The door opened, Gong Xiuhua led the way, and behind it was a young soldier. Zhuang Jihua turned his head and smiled, "Director Xue, come here, I will introduce you to you," the young officer walked to Zhuang Jihua: "This is Colonel Gao Zhihang who was transferred by the central government to preside over the development of the air force. This is Major Li Guidan and Major Le Yiqin; this is Captain Xue Muhua, currently in charge of air military affairs. He is an overseas Chinese who returned from the United States last year and studied flights in the United States. Later, he went to the Luftwaffe to receive training and returned at the end of last year."

Le Yiqin and Li Guidan stood up from the sofa. As soon as Zhuang Jihua's words fell, Xue Muhua saluted Gao Zhihang and the other three. The three of them hurriedly replied. Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "You will work together in the future, Genhan, and you will be the leader of Zhihang from now on." Then he turned to Gao Zhihang: "This kid doesn't know the world is high and he wants to go to heaven all day long. He is also a muddy person in terms of how to build the Air Force."

"Captain Xue has been trained in Germany and is probably not a layman in the Air Force," said Gao Zhihang.

"Sir, Deputy Director Zhuang is right. I have been trained in Germany for half a year. This is the back door that the deputy director walked through Goring, only half a year." Xue Muhua was not dissatisfied at all, but was full of joy: "I don't like being in the office either. I like flying planes into the sky. The sir is so good. I can concentrate on flying planes in the future. The matter on the ground will be handed over to the sir."

Gao Zhihang almost burst out laughing. He couldn't help but look at Li Guidan and Le Yiqin. Why are these three people so similar? They are all guys who regard flying as food as their wives. He has a feeling that these three people will give him a headache in the future.

"Genhan, please introduce our Air Force to Zhihang. You guys, discuss it immediately. If you have any needs, I can give you a prompt approval." Zhuang Jihua said as he returned to his desk and stopped caring about them.

Gao Zhihang looked at Zhuang Jihua. He didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to leave like this. Xue Muhua grinned and said, "Sir, please sit down," and then he sat on the vent, opened the folder he brought with him, and took out a stack of files from it.

"Sir Gao, sit down," Xue Muhua explained when he saw Gao Zhihang standing there: "Deputy Director Zhuang has always been like this. He has made a big framework. In the end, you will let the rest do it yourself, including establishing a command system, office location, and recruiting personnel. You will find a way to find a way. He only provides policies and funds. Anyway, you will understand after staying for a long time."

Gao Zhihang then realized that Zhuang Jihua's words just now were not a joke, but were actually true. Xue Muhua was still chattering and "accusing" Zhuang Jihua: "We are already pretty good. Chief Hong has helped us build more than a dozen airports. Chief Hong has miserable to establish a logistics department. There is no one, so he depends on him to find it himself." Then he whispered: "General Hong is still scolding now."

Gao Zhihang finally couldn't help laughing, but Xue Muhua was so happy in his heart. You can still laugh. I don't know how many things the Air Force has to do. Now it's your business.
