737 Commander Gu's Shock
"Commander, Chief Gu is here."
That afternoon, when Ye Qingshan was in charge of Chaozhou Airport, he suddenly received a report from Xiao Wusheng.
Gu Zhutong had arrived in Chaozhou a long time ago and originally wanted to go to the front-line command center to meet Ye Qingshan.
As a result, Ye Qingshan didn't want Gu Zhutong to see the troop strength and weapons and equipment of the 89th Army on the front line.
Especially those heavy artillery, Ye Qingshan was worried that the other party would not be able to bear it psychologically after seeing them.
So, Ye Qingshan deliberately delayed.
No one was allowed to tell Gu Zhutong his exact location at the front-line command center.
Therefore, Gu Zhutong stayed in Chaozhou.
And now, the news of Ye Qingshan's return to Chaozhou was obviously known to Gu Zhutong.
The other party came over in person.
“Forget it, there’s no way to avoid it.
Then go meet Commander Gu."
Ye Qingshan also realized that it would be unreasonable for him to hide from Gu Zhutong again this time.
Then he took the young martial artist with him and went out to greet Gu Zhutong in person.
"Commander Gu, you are well-informed.
I have only been back in Chaozhou for two days and you have come here in person."
Ye Qingshan said with a smile after seeing Gu Zhutong.
Gu Zhutong had been left alone in Chaozhou for several days and was already in a bad mood, so he replied unhappily, "Humph, you are such a jerk, Ye Qingshan.
The racks are getting bigger.
I'm here, but I can't even see you once."
“Haha, Chief Gu.
You really misunderstood.
The fighting situation on the front line was intense and my headquarters was constantly on the move.
These people in the rear really don’t know the exact location of my command center.
Besides, it's too dangerous to let you go to the front line. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"
Ye Qingshan smiled and comforted Gu Zhutong.
"I don't believe you.
You boy...
Forget it, I won’t bother with you anymore.”
Gu Zhutong originally wanted to vent his anger at Ye Qingshan.
As a result, his eyes were soon attracted by the fighter jets and bombers at Chaozhou Airport.
Can't wait to go check it out.
Just don't bother with Ye Qingshan anymore.
He pointed at the fighter planes at the airport in front and asked Ye Qingshan: "Where do so many fighter planes come from?
Are all these fighter planes at the airport yours?"
Gu Zhutong certainly knew that Ye Qingshan had an aviation team under his command.
But he never thought that the aviation fleet under Ye Qingshan's command had become so large.
This scared him a little.
"Haha, Chief Gu, stop joking.
I don’t have that much ability.
If all these fighter planes were mine, I could be the commander of the Air Force."
Ye Qingshan naturally could not tell Gu Zhutong the truth and refused to admit that these fighter jets were his.
“Become the Air Force Commander?
You haven't thought about it, have you?"
Gu Zhutong glanced at Ye Qingshan and joked.
Ye Qingshan did not comment.
In fact, the strength of the Jiangnan Detachment under his command was not much inferior to the main force of the National Air Force at that time.
Even after Ye Qingshan obtained advanced fighter jets such as P38 and B17 from the Americans.
In terms of strength, it may have surpassed the main force of the National Army Air Force.
At least, at this moment, the main force of the Nationalist Air Force is not qualified to be equipped with advanced fighters and bombers such as P38, B17, and B24.
After all, some of these fighter jets have not even been equipped by the US Air Force.
If Ye Qingshan hadn't been the boss of a joint consortium and hadn't formed an alliance with the DuPont family.
It is impossible to have such omnipotent abilities.
Ye Qingshan pointed to a large group of white British and American pilots on the airport runway not far away and explained to Gu Zhutong:
"Captain Gu, did you see those white pilots?
They are all pilots from Britain and the United States.
They were the British and American air forces that I requested from General Stilwell to support our counterattack in Guangdong Province.
How could our Jiangnan Detachment have so many fighter planes? "
Ye Qingshan’s explanation is very reasonable.
As long as Stilwell does not dispel Ye Qingshan's lies, no one will doubt this.
"So that's it."
After hearing Ye Qingshan's explanation, Gu Zhutong immediately felt it made sense.
It would make sense if the British and American air forces were transferred from General Stilwell.
Gu Zhutong's worries immediately disappeared.
“You just said that they flew over from Myanmar?
As I recall, Myanmar is very far away from our Guangdong Province.
They can fly here from such a distance?"
Gu Zhutong and Ye Qingshan walked side by side towards the airport.
Gu Zhutong was very interested in the fighter planes at the airport and wanted to go and see them in person.
“Of course, it’s only about a thousand kilometers away.
It can still fly over.
They are all very experienced pilots.”
When the two of them approached the fighter planes, Gu Zhutong looked at those iron guys with shining eyes.
"What kind of fighter is this?
It looks so strange? I've never seen it before."
Gu Zhutong soon saw the two P38 fighter planes that were unable to fly away due to damage, and immediately asked curiously.
He is considered to have seen the world and has seen many fighter planes.
But this kind of double-headed fighter was the first time he had seen it.
"This is the P38, a new fighter jet developed by the Americans, code-named 'Lightning'.
The performance is excellent, enough to help us fight against the Japanese Zero."
"Really!"
When Gu Zhutong heard what Ye Qingshan said, he immediately became interested in P38.
After all, Gu Zhutong naturally knew the value of a fighter jet that could rival the Japanese Zero Fighter.
Especially since the Japanese flying regiment in the country has been equipped with a lot of Zero fighters in the past six months.
The Nationalist Air Force was bullied even more badly.
In the air battle, the fighter planes equipped by the Nationalist Air Force, even the most advanced P40 fighter planes, were no match for the Japanese Zero.
It is also because of this that the Kuomintang’s fighter planes are not often seen on the front lines.
Air supremacy is still in the hands of the devils.
The Kuomintang's remaining fighter jets could only retreat to the rear and provide some air defense protection for the mountain city.
"Will this type of fighter be equipped to us if there is a chance in the future?"
Gu Zhutong asked quickly.
“Well, there’s a chance.
But it may be a long wait.”
Ye Qingshan said this after hesitating for a moment.
After all, the P38 is the next main fighter model of the US Air Force. After it is produced, it will be supplied to the US Air Force first.
It may not be easy for the national army to purchase it.
Even if Ye Qingshan was the middleman, he could only get some at most.
If we want to purchase on a large scale, we have to wait until the production capacity of the American factories is increased and the US Air Force equipment is completed before we have a chance.
Even now, Ye Qingshan can only get a small number of these thirty P38s through the relationship with the DuPont family.
The loss of thirty aircraft will not have much impact on the equipment of the US Air Force.
If the number was too large, the DuPont family would not dare to agree easily.
"What kind of fighter plane is that? So big?"
Gu Zhutong was then attracted by the two big guys, B17 and B24.
Even Gu Zhutong had never seen these two bombers, both with a wingspan of more than 30 meters.
