Chapter 604: After the fight, let’s continue the negotiations and squeeze the meat out of the Japane
After the war, Eijiro Ebashi and Zo Nishi Juo in the direction of Peiping received the battle report of Ping'an County, which was attacked in the air. A total of 12 reconnaissance planes and 186 light and heavy bombers were dispatched, totaling 198 aircraft. At present, a total of 11 planes have been confirmed to have returned to the airport controlled by the Locust Army.
All of the 11 planes were damaged and not a single one survived.
The worst thing was that out of the 48 planes in the flying squadron that set out from Peiping, only one, belonging to Kihachiro Yoshida, returned.
When Kihachiro Yoshida was flying the almost tattered plane back to the Peking Airport, the plane crashed directly onto the runway and was almost smashed into pieces on the spot.
Kihachiro Yoshida had multiple fractures on his body, and he looked as miserable as could be.
Fortunately, it was still conscious. When it struggled to stand up and crawl out from the pile of broken airplane parts, it found that its legs were so weak that it could hardly move.
It reached down and felt its hand was covered in blood. A shrapnel had penetrated the plane it was flying in an extremely tricky way and passed through its legs. It was only a few centimeters away from piercing its leg artery. If that happened, there would be no way it could come back.
If it was three centimeters further upward, I would probably be living a life worse than death.
Thinking of this, Yoshida Kihachiro felt a little scared, and cold sweat kept streaming down his neck. It was the first time he felt a little scared after being on the battlefield in China for so long.
For the first time, he felt a deep-seated fear, a fear that made him look deathly pale.
When Eijiro Ebashi saw Kihachiro Yoshida, Kihachiro Yoshida had already been carried onto a stretcher and was about to be sent to the Japanese hospital for treatment.
Eijiro Ebashi grabbed Kihachiro Yoshida's hand, which was a little cold due to excessive blood loss, and asked, "Yoshida-kun, where are the other Imperial pilots?"
Yoshida Kihachiro twitched his lips with difficulty and whispered, "All died for their country."
Eijiro Ebashi was stunned as if struck by lightning. He had already received the battle report, but he was unwilling to give up. He wanted to get more detailed information from the survivor Yoshida Kihachiro, or he wanted to get a hope that seemed unrealistic.
Now, that hope has been shattered.
Out of a flying squadron with 48 planes, only one returned, or rather, none of them returned.
Because the plane that returned had been completely torn apart and could no longer be reassembled, it was indistinguishable from being scrapped.
"Ebashi-kun..."
Kihachiro Yoshida uttered a few words with difficulty.
"Ok?"
"Jiang Qiaojun, do you think our Locust Army can still win this war?"
There was a deathly gray color in Yoshida Kihachiro's eyes, and it was obvious that he was a little desperate.
Eijiro Ebashi patted Kihachiro Yoshida's increasingly cold hand, but in the end said nothing.
In other words, everything is implied.
......
The entire Japanese army was in a gloomy mood, almost filled with worry, but our side was smiling.
Nearly two hundred planes were shot down, which was enough to prove that we had the ability to fight the Japanese head-on. This would be a battle that would change the overall situation.
"Old buddy, when do you think we should start building these air defense towers around Taiyuan City? How many should we build? Facts have shown that this air defense method is absolutely useful."
The commander was extremely sensitive to war. After the Ping'an County air defense battle, he realized that the air defense tower was very useful. He did not ask whether to repair it or not, but directly asked how many to build.
Decisive enough.
"Repair! Of course we need to repair it, but repairing the air defense tower is one thing, and on the other hand we have to consider the issue of artillery shell production capacity.
The issue of artillery shell consumption mentioned by Yu Ye requires us to seriously consider.
Who would have thought that the shells he had accumulated for half a year would be used up in just a few hours? Although this air defense is effective, it is also a huge money-eating beast. "
The commander said with a frown.
It's tempting to have it, but the cost is just too staggering.
Wars are fought with economic and industrial strength, and this has always been the essence of war.
"Then go find Yu Ye. I've already taken too much advantage of this guy, and now I feel a little embarrassed.
This task is left to you?"
The commander asked tentatively.
When the commander heard this, he was a little confused. So this matter fell on me?
However, considering the commander’s difficulties, the division commander pushed his glasses and finally sighed: “Okay, I’ll be the villain and let this guy increase production capacity.
I don't think money is a big problem. Our penicillin has been produced on a large scale now, and it's like our money printing factory.
There were even some Japanese who came to us through connections, wanting to buy penicillin from us.”
"what?"
This sentence completely confused the commander. The Japanese devils used their connections to buy medicine from our Eighth Route Army?
This sounds so weird. They are clearly Chinese and pronounced in Chinese. Why is it that when they are put together, I can't understand it?
"Ah! That's what happened."
The commander let out a soft "ah" to confirm.
"Then did you agree?"
"Of course I can't agree to that."
"Old man, you have to promise the devils!"
"what?"
The commander's words stunned the division commander, and the two men got confused.
"If Yu Ye were here, he would definitely sell it to the Japanese. Do you believe it?" The commander was determined to shock people.
"I believe it, but what kind of thing would Yu Ye not dare to do? If he were to stay with Li Yunlong, he would definitely learn bad things. But tell me, why would Yu Ye do it? What's his purpose?
Doesn't this guy hate the Japanese the most? Why is he still selling penicillin to the Japanese? Has this guy changed his personality? "The commander said uncertainly.
"I don't know. I just know that this little bastard can definitely do it. As for how he would do it and why he would do it, I have no idea.
Anyway, I believe he will definitely not have a negative impact on us."
The commander's expression softened considerably.
"By the way, old friend, let's not talk about this anymore. Have you thought about what we should do next?"
"of course."
"Tell me, what do you think?"
"My idea is to continue to delay in the name of negotiation to give us time to restore production capacity."
"Hey, what a coincidence! Then who are you going to choose as the negotiator?"
"Li Yunlong, Brigade Commander, isn't this ready-made? They are the only ones who have slapped the Japanese in the face. This is very interesting.
I want to see if the little devils will behave themselves this time."
