Devil's Army

While Leng Feng was making full preparations for war at Yanglin Airport (Kunming Aviation School had not yet been fully repaired), the Japanese air forces at Hainan Island Airport and Hanoi Airport in Vietnam were slow to attack.

It's not that they don't want revenge, but Commander Hata Shunroku did not approve of their revenge plan.

Commander Hata Shunroku learned from the intelligence they had that the Yunnan 70st Army had about advanced fighter planes.

There were only 138 Zero fighters in total at their Hainan Island Airport and Hanoi Airport in Vietnam.

According to previous experience in fighting against the Devil Force's pointed fighters, it would be difficult for them to defeat the Devil Force's high-performance pointed fighters if the number of their aircraft could not reach 3 to 1.

In order to prevent their air force from suffering greater losses, he decisively stopped the retaliatory action and continued to transfer more and more advanced Zero 52 fighters from the country.

Although the Japanese air force did not come to bomb the Kunming Aviation School, Leng Feng still followed his own steps to steadily accelerate the development of Kunming's air force.

He recruited a group of enthusiastic Kunming citizens to build an airport at the first training ground of Yaoling Mountain.

Arrange the Army Aviation Soldiers to build a military camp at the second parade ground of Yaoling Mountain.

Soldiers of the New Fourth Army's Gui-Yunnan Front Army were arranged to build a military camp at the third parade ground in Yaoling Mountain.

Due to the need for confidentiality, the construction of the arsenal and smelting plant in the valley of Yaoling Mountain was undertaken by soldiers from the Guishen Front of the New Fourth Army.

Various projects at Yaoling Mountain are in full swing, and Engineer Li and his team have also received good news from their surveys in Wenshan: small tin and antimony mines are constantly being discovered.

To this end, Leng Feng and Chairman Long launched friendly and fruitful negotiations:

The tin and tin mines in Wenshan were mined with funds from the First Anti-Japanese Army. The Yunnan Army sent troops to protect the safety of the mining area together with the Gui-Yunnan Front Army.

The flow and disposal of the minerals after mining were left to the First Army, but the First Army provided them with a certain amount of arms every month.

In this way, Chairman Long would not offend the Nanjing government, and he could also get a certain amount of arms replenishment every month, which was greatly beneficial to his anti-Japanese war in Yunnan.

And a very important point is that the development and growth of the air force of the First Anti-Japanese Army in Yunnan can ensure that Yunnan Province will no longer be bombed by Japanese aircraft.

This has already been reflected.

The air force of the First Army Kunming Aviation School and Yanglin Airport fought with the Japanese army several times, and the Japanese bombing of Kunming city was significantly reduced.

The Nanjing government has objections to Leng Feng's mining of tin and antimony mines in Wenshan.

The leader asked Director Zheng to come and negotiate with Leng Feng.

Leng Feng asked back:

“Does the Nanjing government need a strong air force to protect the safety of Chongqing and Yunnan? Or even to protect the safety of the entire country’s skies?”

"Of course it is necessary." Director Zheng replied.

"Our air force is still very weak, far inferior to the Japanese air force. Our current air force can only barely stand firm due to the excellent performance of its aircraft.

But there will be losses in battles. Our planes were constantly shot down and damaged in the fight with Japanese planes. And we are now short of raw materials for manufacturing aircraft. That's why I talked to Chairman Long about this self-reliance. Mining minerals, producing aircraft raw materials, and developing the air force is a stupid way. "

What Leng Feng said did make sense, but Director Zheng always found it difficult to report to the leader.

Leng Feng also proposed a solution that would benefit everyone at the right time:

"The two mines we are currently mining in Wenshan are very small. As you know, the mines with large output are all concentrated in the hands of the Nanjing government, so I still want to do business with the Nanjing government."

"Commander Leng, please tell me what you think."

"In order to develop our Republic of China's air force as quickly as possible, we urgently need raw materials for mass production of aircraft. So I plan to use the penicillin and alcohol produced by our First Army to exchange raw materials with the Nanjing government. What do you think?"

The penicillin produced by the First Army is like gold, a hard currency. All the troops of the Nanjing government need it. But since the last time he bought a batch of penicillin and alcohol from the First Army, Leng Feng has been restricting the Nanjing government's purchases on the grounds that the production is limited.

I guess the leader would agree to exchange medicines for minerals.

Sure enough, after Director Zheng reported Leng Feng's plan to the Nanjing leaders, the Nanjing leaders quickly agreed.

He quickly asked Mr. Song to appoint someone to go to Kunming to discuss the details of exchanging drugs for minerals with Leng Feng.

Soon, two bombers loaded with Nissin and alcohol landed at Chongqing Jiulongpo Airport under the escort of a Hua Xia 2 Fighter Squadron.

At the same time, a convoy loaded with antimony ore, tungsten ore, tin ore and other materials also set off from Gejiu and Baoshan in Yunnan Province to Kunming.

Who knew that an accident happened halfway.
