Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Zhou Weiguo left with a frown, and continued with the intensive training. The group assault march course had to be put on hold and he continued to learn tank operation.

Zhong Zhicheng left with a frown, to see if he could coordinate with other military regions to see if they had any captured fuel that could be exchanged for weapons and equipment.

At the same time, we must entrust our undercover comrades to investigate the Japanese army’s oil depots.

Buying from the enemy's rear is not reliable, and buying one or two barrels will not solve the fundamental problem.

The number of people involved was huge and it was impossible to conceal it from the Japanese army. The role of the undercover personnel was limited.

Just when Ding Wei and others were at a loss, the feedback from Moscow was encouraging.

The issue of the ruble loan has been initially implemented, although my father and the mountain city government promised to remain neutral and not favor any party.

If it is profitable, how can you not make money?

With the obsolete BT fast tank production line and the previous old aircraft, they can exchange a large amount of logistical supplies from Ding Wei.

It's a business that's sure to make a profit, and you can also earn interest.

Classifying it as a serious transaction without involving any political factors does not violate the father's promise to Mr. Xipi.

Comrade Anov personally sent an encrypted telegram to inform the Ding Wei Military District Command that they could prepare to build an airport in Wucheng.

20 old aircraft will be provided as training aircraft to Ding Wei to facilitate pilot training.

The first batch of soldiers sent to the Soviet Union to study have completed half of the course and may be considered to be sent back to participate in the battle in March or April next year.

It was a very exciting thing that allowed the transaction between the two parties to continue, and it became possible to obtain a batch of combat fuel from Arnoff.

In the freezing cold Mengjiang region, the second batch of supplies is moving towards Wucheng.

The troops stationed in Wucheng also braved the cold weather to level out a clean area, blocked it with barbed wire, and arranged for the troops to build a temporary camp.

A simple airport is taking shape.

How can it not be exciting that even a commoner can fly to the sky?

The overall performance of the Russian aircraft cannot compare with that of the Allies. Their aerodynamic level is good, but they have compromised too much on production capacity.

We cannot just pursue cost-effectiveness in everything, sometimes we also have to consider practical needs.

The wooden body can indeed save resources, and its performance was good during testing, but it was not the case when it was actually put into the battlefield.

The actual combat data does not match the test data at all.

Perhaps the only thing worth mentioning is the firepower of the Russian planes. They pulled the machine guns to the fullest and focused on the firepower advantage.

What surprised Ding Wei was not a group of old planes. He thought they were the Soviet I-16 monoplane fighter jets, but when they were about to land, he found out that they were 10 MiG-3 fighter jets, which landed at the temporary airport under the control of the old Mao fighter pilots.

The whistling sound of the plane made people tremble with fear.

Zhong Zhicheng pointed at the parked thing and shouted excitedly, "Plane, plane, I've never touched this thing before."

If you insist on saying that I touched it, it would be that I shot down a Japanese fighter plane and touched the burnt nose of the plane.

Look at what you have accomplished. It's just a propeller fighter. It's nothing in Ding Wei's eyes.

He traveled through time and space to the era of third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft, which were equipped with airborne missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and air-to-air missiles.

Just 10 propeller planes were enough to help the Eighth Route Army establish its first air force squadron.

There has to be a first time for everything. Once you take this step and solve the problem of having or not having something, you can then discuss production and performance.

Having come from nothing to where he is today and now is able to dominate the northwest region, Ding Wei is quite confident.

"Old Zhong, arrange for someone to take over and prepare for covert measures. I don't want the fighter planes I bought to be bombed by the Japanese."

In addition to the 10 fighter jets, there were also two small passenger planes that could accommodate seven or eight people. This was considered an extra gift.

Wooden aircraft are low-cost, with a steel pipe welded frame, an outer cover, and wooden structures such as wings.

This is a good idea, which is easy to manufacture and can first meet combat needs and then improve performance.

Soviet aircraft have decent performance at low altitudes, but are clearly inferior to those of the Allied aircraft in the mid- and high-altitude ranges.

If we rank them purely from a technical perspective, the first tier should be British, American and German books, and the second tier should be Soviet books.

The Russians are stronger than the Japanese, but only to a limited extent. Both have better aircraft in low-altitude performance. The Japanese Zero fighter and the Russian La-5FN, La-3, and Yak- have great advantages in low-altitude dogfighting.

However, at the current stage, these aircraft have not yet become main combat equipment and will not be launched until next year or the year after.

Ding Wei stopped his inner comments and thought, no matter what the other party's level is, as long as they can manufacture airplanes, they are much better than us.

How can someone who has nothing make fun of other people's aircraft performance? This is nonsense.

This further strengthened Ding Wei's next idea: he must keep the Japanese equipment, facilities and industrial technology in the puppet Manchukuo area.

Arnoff got off the plane, greeted Ding Wei warmly and told him the progress of the material transportation.

And the entire tank production line that he had been dreaming of was also included in this transportation.

"Arnolf, my good friend."

Ding Wei hugged the other person and was pricked by his beard.

Wucheng is an important city in the northwest, where the first tank production line was built. The important thing is not to produce tanks, but to master the basic technical route.

It is more beneficial to train some maintenance workers to support the repair and maintenance of armored combat.

Ding Wei doesn't need to worry too much about this. As long as he brings the technology and equipment, northern Shaanxi will naturally arrange for intellectuals to come and study.

The blood of industry condenses and thrives here.

Zhong Zhicheng discussed with Ding Wei who would be the director of Wucheng No. 1 Locomotive Factory. He definitely did not have the extra energy.

Ask Chen Yi how she is?

"Chen Yi is a woman, how can this work? We must have someone who can endure hardships and tackle tough problems, and who also needs to understand the technology involved."

"I suggest we find a technician and let the headquarters find a way to assign one. If there really is no one, we can only let Zhou Weiguo do it."

Ding Wei only has this one person who understands armored warfare.

Armored warfare and tank production are two different things, and Zhou Weiguo is not a suitable candidate. Among those sent to the Soviet Union to study, are there any suitable talents to be brought over to be the finale?

This is an important military factory with extraordinary significance and function, and it will prepare technical jobs for the future.

Ask Commander Liu and ask him to arrange someone.

There are many people driving tanks, but people who understand armor technology are still scarce.

Since 34, we have been intentionally sending people to study in the Soviet Union to cultivate fresh blood.

They were planning to transfer Sun Shan, the captain of the tank brigade, from the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army. Sun Shan was a talent who had returned from studying in the Soviet Union and was ready to rejoin the war of resistance. He was to be assigned to work under Ding Wei.

Ding Wei looked up at Zhong Zhicheng, his meaning was very clear: what was the origin of this Sun Shan and what was his level?

Regarding personnel matters, the political commissar has to investigate. We need people who can do real work, not pretty faces.
