Chapter 372 Li Lei is here(1/2)
After Li Lei and the pilots he brought back, after arriving in Hanyang, under the leadership of Li Lei, flew to Tengchong immediately in a plane.
Now these pilots respect Li Lei very much.
In their eyes, Li Lei is completely a superhero.
After arriving in Hanyang, Li Lei talked about his thoughts to the colonel and borrowed his plane and the pilot for a few days. Since their pilots have all arrived, can't they just go back like this, right?
We have to defeat the Japanese army here before we can go back. Otherwise, who will drive the bomber?
This surprised them very much and was amused and crying.
I asked Li Lei why he wanted their plane to fly to Hanyang. It turned out that he fell in love with my plane and the pilot.
This is preparing for the next battle against Japan when we head south.
They thought for a while and agreed to Li Lei's request.
South Asia's war is very important, and it is related to their important interests.
The expeditionary army of others has prepared a large army of 100,000, and it is appropriate to provide several aircraft and several pilots.
Otherwise, Li Lei should say we are stingy.
The Navy agreed to Li Lei's decision very happily.
In order to support Li Lei in the south to fight, he decided to send another fifty aircraft to Li Lei.
As for pilots, you can recruit some retired pilots.
Although they are a little younger, their flight skills are nothing to say.
This matter was decided soon.
As the navy ran, dozens of volunteers were quickly found.
The most famous one is Chennard.
Dozens of pilots led by Chennard formed a flight brigade called the Flying Tigers.
They followed David and went to Tengchong together.
Because Wang Han was not with Li Lei, he went to Tengchong with David directly.
David was the staff officer in this battle. By the time Li Lei and the others arrived, David and the others had already arrived.
Seeing Chennard and the fifty planes behind him, Li Lei was excited and trembling with his hands, and almost couldn't speak.
My air force has grown stronger again.
There are both bombers and fighter jets, but what is missing now is ammunition.
Without ammunition, bombers and fighters are useless.
But don’t worry about this, international aid supplies are already in Wancheng on the border.
Wanding is an important material transfer point on the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
The materials for international aid are converted from trains to cars from here and transported into the country through the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
So a large amount of weapons and equipment were stocked up here.
Completely sufficient for the use of the expeditionary force.
All the troops of the Expeditionary Force have arrived in Tengchong.
The entire expeditionary army had three armies.
The Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, the Sixty-Sixth Army, the 36th Division directly under the command of the commander-in-chief, and Li Lei's temporary regiment.
Commander Luo is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force. The two had cooperated before when they fought with Okamura Yasuji.
After Li Lei arrived, the Expeditionary Force immediately held a military meeting.
It was his first time to come into contact with many generals here.
In order to take the initiative to show weakness and prevent the Japanese army from finding out how many troops they have, Li Lei's army number was adjusted. After the original new first regiment arrived in Tengchong, the army number became the temporary regiment.
Li Lei's temporary regiment has six battalions under his command.
However, the total force has not decreased.
No one looked down upon it because it was a group.
They all knew that the combat effectiveness of Li Lei's troops was very terrifying.
So many people want to see what Li Lei thinks about this military meeting this time.
Although they have all heard of Li Lei’s name, they have been quite a few times.
Whether it was Tiger Chai or others, they praised Li Lei.
But hearing is false, seeing is true.
If Li Lei is indeed an outstanding commanding ability, then what he said is all about fighting the Japanese, and they must cooperate well. But if Li Lei is just a young boy who knows nothing, then don’t blame us for not obeying the command.
Moreover, although their troops had arrived in Tengchong and were ready to fight against the Japanese army at any time, in fact, they did not even have an accurate map.
Everyone is worried.
Although the old Duan of the Staff Team created a map of Myanmar of one in 100,000, it was better than nothing. The actual effect was not great.
If you want to give the troops the greatest help, it is best to have a map of one in one million.
There is also equipment. Although there is a large amount of military equipment in Wanding, they are simply unable to get it now.
Because that batch of equipment was provided by foreign aid, we had to wait until David arrived before we could specifically allocate weapons.
Without his nod, foreign aid would not have been available.
This made them very depressed.
They didn't know who David was. Only Lao Duan from the Staff Team knew.
This old Duan met David when he was doing military exchanges.
It's not familiar.
Lao Duan’s impression of David was that this foreign colonel was very arrogant and was still a Chinese expert.
It's not easy to deal with him.
They wanted Lao Duan to tell David, and then assign the weapons first.
The expeditionary force I met this time is already considered elite in the country.
However, there is still a certain gap between the level of the Japanese army.
Equipment like Li Lei's temporary ball is an alternative existence, and they dare not even think about it.
Good guy, is that a group?
The firepower was stronger than any of their troops.
There are more than 100 tanks alone!
Just the number of tanks is enough for an armored division! It is still the strongest armored division.
They heard that the Y Army in front had an armored brigade, and there were only fifty tanks equipped.
Moreover, in order to allow the temporary regiment to participate in this battle, many artillery were specially allocated.
The current temporary regiment is one of the main forces of the entire expeditionary army.
Let’s look at their own weapons. Although they are not very bad, they are not comparable to the number of machine guns, artillery, or ammunition storage.
Their 200th Division and the newly formed 38th Division are truly elite troops.
But the equipment is still not optimistic.
Everyone was staring at the Wanding warehouse.
There are so many good things there.
I heard that there are 500 submachine guns just.
There are also a large number of artillery and howitzers, and it seems that there are also a lot of aviation bombs.
This made them very excited.
Is this what foreign planes are going to participate in this operation?
The commander of the Fifth Army was straightforward and said directly that if Li Lei could convince David to take out the weapon, he would be convinced.
The location of the military conference is in Tengchong.
Because the Y Army temporarily disagrees with their expeditionary force entering their territory, the headquarters can only be temporarily set up here.
David has been waiting here for a long time.
Chennard behind him had never seen Li Lei, and was very curious: "David, I'm very curious. Judging from your behavior, you seem to respect Li Lei very much."
Of course, Chennard had heard of Li Lei. Now, Li Lei's name is still everywhere in newspapers in their country.
But Chennard felt that what was said in the newspaper was a bit exaggerated.
