In the Nationalist government's air force, all the aircraft were biplanes, most of which were more than ten years old, and some were made of wood. Compared with today's advanced international aircraft, they were like old men with crutches.

Of course, Li Shaoyi was familiar with the history of that era. Even though they used such backward aircraft, my country's first generation of air force did not disgrace itself and fought against the invasion of the Japanese invaders at the cost of almost all casualties.

"Captain Li, how did you buy it?"

Wei Haixun went up and touched it, and found that it was indeed made of real material.

"Forehead…"

Looking at the people in front of him, Li Shaoyi really didn't know how to explain.

"Old Wei, why do you care how the plane got here? Isn't it your biggest concern whether you can fly a plane like this to fight the Japanese?"

Li Qiankun quickly stepped forward to rescue Li Shaoyi.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm too stubborn about some things and can't get to the bottom of things. I'm sorry, Commander Li."

Wei Haixun said a little embarrassedly that he was also an honest man. After apologizing, he didn't care about Li Shaoyi's attitude. He turned back to study the plane. The look in his eyes when he looked at the plane was more exciting than looking at a beautiful woman.

"I'm sorry, Commander Li, but he's just like that. He was originally in the Northeast Air Force, but was later recruited by the Central Air Force. He got separated from his family when he was fleeing, and his grandparents were killed by the Japanese."

Li Qiankun explained it to his men to avoid making Li Shaoyi unhappy.

"I understand. There are many people like this in my team. I will give them a chance to get revenge."

Li Shaoyi's words made many people's eyes light up. Some of them came here because of deep hatred.

"Captain Li, I'd like to ask about our aircraft. How are we going to replenish them? Are they like the Nanjing Nationalist Government, gone once they're all gone?"

While everyone was observing the plane, Li Qiankun and Li Shaoyi walked to the side. There were some things they had to ask in advance. The people from the army said that Commander Li had more weapons and equipment than he could use. Was it the same with the Air Force?

"This is just the first batch of planes. I've already agreed with the Junkers that they'll supply us with a batch every month. Of course, you have to pay in cash. I'll figure out how to get the money. Now you're the commander of my air force. As you can see, I don't know much about the air force, so all matters rest on your shoulders."

Since everyone was straightforward, Li Shaoyi didn't beat around the bush and immediately appointed his own Air Force Commander.

Even if you search the entire 72nd Brigade camp, you probably won’t find anyone more suitable than Li Qiankun.

"Then I'll do it first. If someone better than me shows up, I'll immediately give way. I've made an Air Force plan, and I'll revise it later and give it to you right away."

Li Qiankun also learned about the situation of the 72nd Brigade. He could not refuse at this stage. They were all for the anti-Japanese war, so he should keep everything simple and not do anything cunning.

"Your temper is just like mine. We've prepared a welcoming banquet tonight. If you relax for one night, all of you will have to work more than twelve hours a day tomorrow."

Li Shaoyi was not polite to them.

"Don't worry, Commander Li, we all have endless energy."

After hearing this, several pilots in the distance were also very happy.

Just as they returned to headquarters, the Fourth Regiment, which had gone out to fight, also returned. This trip could be said to be quite fruitful.

Li Qiankun was watching the intimate conversation of the people downstairs from the upstairs window. He had to say that Li Shaoyi was very friendly. When the warlords from all walks of life walked into this yard, it was like they were a family.

Chu Jingping had been running outside for five or six days, and had harassed all the surrounding devils. As Li Shaoyi said, we should play to our strengths and not let the devils rest.

"They killed more than 2,000 people, and brought back about a thousand people, half of whom were puppet troops and half were Japanese soldiers. I also checked their defense lines in other parts of Rehe. They were all temporary and not a threat."

In the office, Captain Chu began to introduce the situation in the east to everyone. Although the Japanese had increased their troops, their action was too slow. At present, in the entire eastern region of Rehe, all the devils added together were less than 10,000 at most.

With his intervention, the whole east became even more chaotic.

"Tell the brothers to rest first. Today and tomorrow are your rest time. The day after tomorrow morning, I will add two more companies to your team. Continue to go out and do this. Kill as many as you can. The current principle is still the same. Don't get involved in a melee with the enemy and kill their active forces. Before the Japanese army arrives, try to kill as many as possible."

Li Shaoyi looked at the marks on the map. One reason why Captain Chu came back this time was that he had captured a lot of prisoners. Another reason was that all his weapons and equipment were lost, so he had to come back to replenish them.

"No problem at all. I'll go down and tell the brothers right away. This trip has given me some experience. It's much better than the previous blind training. Even if we encounter a large group of Japanese, I can still take a bite and run."

Chu Jingping's words amused the combat staff around him. Our overall strength is weaker than the Japanese, but we are stronger than them in some areas. When we are strong, we will take your life, and when we are weak, we will run away.

Anyway, the areas we chose to attack are relatively flat. If we step on the accelerator to the bottom, we may not be able to shake you off in the first few minutes. Ten minutes later, if we want to find the Japanese behind us, we won’t be able to see a single hair.

At the beginning, these Japs tried their best to chase them, but after chasing them twice, their superiors gave such orders again. These Japs were not fools, and they just did the work without putting in any effort. They just ran a few steps casually, otherwise even if they ran their shit out, they would not be able to touch the other party's taillights.

"Go back and review everything, including the ratio of ammunition and replacing all the broken vehicles. We'll need new ones for the next expedition, including some damaged weapons and equipment. Hurry and go."

Li Shaoyi patted Lao Chu on the shoulder and said, "Stop bragging here at the headquarters. After the arrangements are made, there will be a welcome banquet tonight."

"I heard that some capable people have come from Jinling. Can we build a runway first? If we have a plane, it can help us conduct reconnaissance in the air. Next time we go out, it will be different."

Captain Chu walked to the door and turned back to make this request to Li Shaoyi. Li Qiankun, who happened to be on duty, heard it...
