The whole country became busy for the war. After the highest-level meeting in Yanjing, Fang Jianxiong¡¯s special plane took off that day. .This is a converted DC-3 aircraft, equipped with bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. There is no doubt that the DC-3 is an aircraft with superior performance. Because of the existence of Huabo Company, Douglas Company sent one to Fang Jianxiong as a congratulatory gift to the elected president in order to win orders from the Chinese Air Force. After this solid flattery came over, Douglas received an order for one hundred aircraft. The world was peaceful at that time, and the order for one hundred aircraft almost made Douglas Company extremely happy. Later, after the **-17 was produced in China, the prospects of the DC-3 were not so good.
Huabo Company has Chinese capital, so it has the upper hand in the competition. This is normal. However, Douglas Company did not give up on the Chinese market. They were also seeking cooperation with China, but they arrived too late and could not find a partner for the time being.
Feng Hua submitted the report to President Fang Da as soon as the meeting ended. After the president signed it and the prime minister signed it, according to wartime laws, it was considered effective. After seeing off President Fang Da at the airport, Feng Hua immediately contacted Melis, the head of Douglas's Beijing office, who was a Jew. I heard that President Fang Da likes Jews, so many American companies give priority to Jews when selecting candidates to work in China. Because hundreds of thousands of Jewish talents were brought in from various European countries, the number of Jews in China reached more than one million, and Fang Jianxiong unknowingly earned the label of being pro-Jewish.
Without further ado, Feng Hua is not polite at all. The surname of DC-3 can be said to be excellent and reliable. The president asked him to decide how much to buy, so why should he be so polite? His hands are not shaking. Let¡¯s go to the first five. Let¡¯s talk about hundreds of military C-47s. At this time, the American emperor had already begun to prepare for war, but an order of 500 aircraft still made Melis faint with joy. What an achievement this was.
Feng Hua requested delivery within two months. He also told Melis that it would be best to build a factory in China. Now Huabo's supporting companies are basically Chinese companies or Sino-US joint ventures. The conditions for building a factory in China are still the same. Mature. The **-17 engine is already produced in China, so what does the Curtiss-Wright engine mean? In fact, the Aviation Research Institute in Wuhan can also build similar engines. Due to insufficient production capacity, it has now stopped and is focusing on the production of Mustang-** fighter jets. And if you build a factory in China, you will have priority when purchasing.
After dismissing Meilis, Feng Hua drove to Nanyuan, found the headquarters of Huabo Company, met the person in charge of Boeing in China, and placed an order for 500 **-17s in one go. Wang Zhu, who was present, said that Huabo's new production line will be put into operation in another month. Huabo Company can reach the annual production capacity of 1,500 **-17s. If the supporting companies do not provide sufficient output, it can still do so. Improvement, so there is no need to buy these aircraft in the United States.
Wang Zhu is confident in saying this, because HP's engine production line has also expanded. I am afraid that you will buy less engines, but I am not afraid that you will want more. During the world's economic crisis, the United States was hit hard. At that time, companies like Hewlett-Packard came to China to set up factories, and engines were made more and more advanced, as long as they could make money.
Fang Jianxiong¡¯s plane arrived in Lanzhou first, then stopped for maintenance before taking off for Dihua. Starting from Yanjing, there was no night flight for safety reasons. It took two days to reach Dihua. After arriving in Dihua, we did not miss a few games. After a short stay, we flew directly to Ili. The headquarters of the Central Asian Front is located in Ili. Commander Liu Mingzhao went to Almaty to take command. This is considered a violation of discipline.
But Fang Jianxiong had no time to worry about this. He just got off the plane at Yili Airport and saw Liu Mingzhao and a group of people greeting him. He immediately quickened his pace and shouted loudly from a distance: "All false etiquette is waived. Time is urgent. Hurry up and get on your way."
The straight-line distance between Ili and Bardikorgan is only more than 300 kilometers. If it were not for the need to route through Central Asia, this place would be a remote place. Over the years, Ili has been run into a large military camp, with a majority of local Kazakhs. The traditional animal husbandry industry has also become extremely prosperous due to the numerous military factories. Half of the clothing, cans, etc. needed by the Central Asian Military Region are produced here. Xinjiang Province produces high-quality cotton, so it is perfect for the quilt and clothing industry.
With a fleet of more than 200 meters, one could tell at a glance that a big shot was coming. The headquarters was located outside the city, and the guards at the door stood straight. Fang had no intention of attacking. When he arrived at the headquarters, he immediately wanted to hear a report on the counterattack plan. The plan of the Yanjing General Staff is a big plan, and the specific implementation still depends on the front army.
"The Soviet army probably hasn't discovered our counterattack plan yet. Its main offensive direction is still on the Bishkek line. Now two lines of Soviet troops are attacking fiercely. One line is blocked on the Talas line, and the other line is blocked on Aksu and Prague. Shenka front line. Here, here, Zhang Xingchen's Fourth Army fought very hard, and the fifth Army was defeated by his humble position.The infantry was transferred to two corps for reinforcements. It would be no problem to defend Bishkek for two months. Taking into account the purpose of confusing the Soviet army, I had ordered Zhang Xingchen to shrink the defense line and let the Soviet army feel that it was possible to capture Bishkek. The second line of defense is here, here. "
Liu Mingzhao reported in person. Fang Jianxiong listened very carefully and raised his hand: "In this way, the Andi Railway will be cut off. Is the Andiyan defense line sure?"
"The Soviet army is coordinating the attack on the Andiyan front line. In addition, the distance from Khujand to Andiyan is long, and the units are fighting and retreating. The fastest Soviet army on the Andiyan front line is the cavalry. The cavalry army, which is also a cavalry force, can calmly Fight while retreating. After returning to Fergana, it is estimated that the Soviet army will stop attacking. Without heavy weapons, they dare not attack Fergana and Andijan. It will take ten days for the Soviet army's heavy weapons to come up. Eight days, and by then the counterattack has already begun."
Liu Mingzhao smiled when he mentioned this. He was so confident that he was indeed a rare military genius.
"What if the Soviet army changes its strategy and attacks Almaty along the way from Balkhash?" Fang Jianxiong asked unhurriedly. Liu Mingzhao smiled and said: "The Soviet army doesn't dare. Bishkek and Almaty The distance between the maps is so close that the train does not even take a day, and the mechanized march on the road only takes a day and a half. The armored trains on the railway and the garrison troops along the way are not vegetarian. Once the Soviet army breaks in from this place, both sides of me will With a pincer attack, the incoming troops can be eaten first."
"Let's talk about counterattack." Fang Jianxiong's question came again. Liu Mingzhao didn't mean to panic at all. He pointed at the map and said: "The key now is that the two mechanized armies of the Soviet Army on the northern front have not been used. The commander is Lu Jin. This person is difficult to deal with. He has always kept the mechanized troops in his hands. For our army to counterattack, we must solve this problem first. I have given an order to the Air Force to find his mechanized troops. Where are you hiding? I judge that the reason why this mechanized force has not been deployed is because there is no breakthrough in the defense line. Use it hastily will lead to the attack of our army's air and ground artillery fire. Without this force, what can Lu Jin do to expand the depth? .¡±
The Soviet army¡¯s large-depth strategy was proposed by Khatuchevsky and emphasized the role of armored rapid forces. But this guy has already been killed by Stalin. It would really be a blessing to someone to kill such a genius. However, this theory has been put forward, and because of Fang, senior officers of the National Defense Forces are quite aware of it.
"You continue!" Fang Jianxiong nodded calmly, and Liu Mingzhao continued: "Regardless of whether the mechanized troops in the hands of the Army are discovered or not, our counterattack must be carried out on time. Therefore, I ask the Air Force to take over the entire logistics line of the Soviet Army. Focus on bombing. The war has been going on for almost a week. The Soviet fighter planes are unable to fight back against our advanced Mustang fighters. They have a certain advantage against the Eagle III. In Central Asia, there are only two wings of Mustang fighters. There are really too few. Recently, with the loss of Mustang fighter planes, our air superiority can no longer be guaranteed. So, President, please transfer two to three more Mustang fighter wings."
Fang Jianxiong smiled when he heard this: "This is already being transferred. Four regiments have been transferred from the Far East, and the two regiments guarding Yanjing have also been transferred to you. Before next spring at the latest, the Air Force will at least Can add forty Mustang fighter wings."
"That's enough, that's enough. If there are another 600 Mustangs, and the Air Force cannot clear the skies of Central Asia, I will shoot the Air Force commander of the Far East." Liu Mingzhao beamed. This battle allowed him to thoroughly see the power of air supremacy. Important surname. Without air superiority, the so-called lightning assault tactics should not be mentioned at all. Tanks can't outrun airplanes. If I give you a round of strafing, they can't do anything to your tanks. The mechanized infantry with random names are really enough to drink a pot.
After listening to the report, a short meeting was held, and then Fang Jianxiong asked Liu Mingzhao to return to Almaty to take charge. As for the president himself, he turned around and flew back to Dihua. The next day, he appeared in front of the people of Dihua with a high profile. When they learned that the president had come to Dihua, the people of Dihua, who had been uneasy because of the war, instantly became peaceful. No matter how rich you are, can you compare with the president? His elders are here, so you can¡¯t stay in Dihua? Don't worry, do whatever you have to do, your wife won't grow long. This is no longer the Qing Dynasty.
The news that Fang Jianxiong was in charge of Dihua was released to the whole country through newspapers and radio stations, and the whole world was shocked. This matter is easy to understand in other countries, but in China it is completely extraordinary.
The mainstream media in Britain and the United States have stated that Fang Jianxiong's personal presence in Dihua fully demonstrates China's momentum to fight the Soviet army to the end. The Soviet media shouted the slogan "Go to Dihua and capture Fang Jianxiong alive!" (To be continued.)
