At this moment, above the squadron leader's sky, it was indeed Li Qiankun's pilots returning.

Like the squadron leader at the beginning, the Japanese soldiers did not believe that there were planes from other countries in the sky, so all the twelve tons of bombs carried by the eight Stuka bombers were dropped on their military camps, and the machine gun bullets of the other fighter planes had almost run out.

The Bf109 fighter has limited additional loadouts and can only carry two 50-kilogram bombs, but today they also brought successful people to the Japanese military camp. We don’t know how many people were killed, but two Japanese military camps were paralyzed. This is their result today.

"Captain, we have been circling the designated airspace for fifteen minutes and have not detected any tracking Japanese aircraft. Requesting to return."

Li Qiankun left two people behind to stay behind. In this era, if you want to bomb the enemy's airport, you either need to know the location in advance or follow the planes that come to attack you. Now they have been circling in the rear for fifteen minutes and have not found any Japanese planes. If they don't return, they will not have enough fuel.

"Permission to return."

After Li Qiankun gave the order, he immediately switched to another channel and prepared to contact the airport.

"Airport, airport, I'm Flying Eagle, I'm Flying Eagle, immediately prepare fuel and ammunition for the second attack, immediately prepare fuel and ammunition for the second attack, all my personnel will arrive at the airport in fifteen minutes..."

The Japanese military camp is now like a piece of cake. If we don’t eat it now, even if it is this afternoon, the situation may be completely different. The second bombing may be dangerous, but compared to tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this is still very advantageous.

So Li Qiankun made a decision that after the flight crew returned, they would immediately reload and refuel, and then carry out a second bombing on the Japanese military camp.

"Old Li, I'm Li Shaoyi. Didn't we agree on this? This time we're just trying to get everyone used to it. After two consecutive bombings, can you guys handle it?"

After about a minute, Li Qiankun knew that the ground personnel had gone to ask Li Shaoyi for instructions, and Li Shaoyi's voice came from the intercom.

"Report to Commander Li, we are all in good health and are confident that we can carry out the second bombing."

Li Qiankun's words were also responded by everyone. When they were bombing just now, it was so exciting. The Japanese military camps were densely packed on both sides of some river valleys. In order to have convenient access to water, these people did not put the military camps in the dense forests. This was perfect for our bombing.

The mushroom cloud that erupted when the bomb was dropped just now made all the pilots so happy that they almost started singing. Such opportunities are rare.

"These matters are under your control. Since you said it's okay, I will immediately order the ground crew to prepare."

Li Shaoyi did not interfere too much in the affairs of the Air Force. It was still the same old saying: leave professional matters to professionals. I am a commander, not in charge of a certain aspect. Since the person in charge of the Air Force thinks it is feasible, then we just need to support it. After all, they know the situation on the front line best.

More than twenty planes descended from the sky one after another. A single runway was still too slow, but the second runway was already under construction and would be completed in two days at the latest. Of course, such a fast speed also came at a price. When the first runway was being built, more than a dozen Japanese prisoners were exhausted to death. They were really exhausted to death.

When the plane came to a complete stop, the ground crew quickly plugged in the oil pipes, and then used the bombs and bullets pushed by the cart to quickly load the entire plane. According to Li Qiankun, excellent ground crew can do everything within five minutes. We have just started training here, and in order to avoid mistakes, this time can be within seven minutes.

Fortunately, they trained very hard, and in just five and a half minutes, everything was ready. The runway was cleared, and Li Qiankun and his men ran out of the toilet nearby, still eating canned food.

It will take at least three hours to get back this time, so eat when you need to and drink when you need to.

Without even having time to report the results of the battle to Li Shaoyi, these people set off again. However, Li Shaoyi had scouts in various places and had already received the battle reports.

In an era like this, airplanes are indeed useful. According to the investigators, the previous round of bombing must have killed at least more than a thousand people.

If we had sixty pilots, we could carry out round-the-clock bombing. If Japan couldn't hold on, the losses in the bombing alone would exceed a quarter.

Think about what was recorded in some documents. Our army was bombed repeatedly by the Japanese Air Force on the way to the battlefield. Many brave heroes could have killed several Japanese soldiers when fighting with bayonets, but under the bombing, they didn't even have the chance to see the Japanese soldiers.

The great success of the air force bombing also made Li Shaoyi determined to give priority to the development of the air force.

On the first day of the takeoff operation, Li Qiankun and his men carried out three rounds of bombing. If they had not mastered the trick of taking off and landing at night, these people would probably continue to do so at night.

Next to the temporary airport, Li Shaoyi held two banquets within two weeks. The first one was naturally to welcome the pilots, and the second one was to celebrate their success. In the three bombings that day, no one or plane was injured, and they returned successfully.

Although only more than 30 tons of bombs were dropped on the Japanese, the psychological impact on the Japanese was definitely greater than the actual impact.

"The scale is still a bit too small. If it could be doubled, it would have a substantial impact on the battlefield."

Li Qiankun and Li Shaoyi drank three glasses of wine, but they were all small glasses. Li Qiankun's entire mind was now on these planes. Although he was willing to take a sip before, now in order to maintain his spirits, he only drank a little.

"Don't worry about that. The pilots from Jinling will be arriving soon. Our Jinling office has already reached an agreement with Director Zhou of the Air Force. I've already prepared the first batch of ten fighters and ten bombers for them, enough to exchange for a hundred pilots. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. The list has been sent over. Please check to see if there are any unqualified ones among them. We can't afford to suffer any losses."

Li Shaoyi took out a list from his pocket, and Li Qiankun quickly put down his wine glass.

This first batch consists of 100 pilots. If they can all be trained, we will immediately have a large fleet.

However, when he saw these names, Li Qiankun's face turned a little unhappy. This deal seemed a little unrealistic...
