Chapter 309: Getting a Plane
Ever since Boss Dai read the telegram sent by the Lighter Group, he has been like a possessed person, staying indoors all the time, and even his meals are delivered to his office by his secretary.
He knew the importance of airplanes. If it was something else, he would order it to be blown up without hesitation, such as the Japanese naval ammunition depot last time. But these were Japanese airplanes! And there were four of them! This was equivalent to a flying squadron!
If we can steal it back, not only will we be able to greatly enhance the strength of the Air Force, but we can also use this incident to ask for credit and reward in front of the old man and make a name for ourselves in front of our colleagues.
But these were four planes! It wasn't just a roll of film, a piece of paper, or a pistol that was hidden on the body and taken away.
But this thing, not only can't be taken away, but someone also has to sit on it and drive away openly with a roar.
The most important thing here is to know how to open it!
You know, in that era, being able to learn to fly a plane was a world-shaking event. There were only a few dozen pilots in the entire Republic of China.
If the old man knew that I was going to send air force pilots to the Japanese Hongqiao Aircraft Repair Factory to steal planes, he would definitely reward me with some peanuts.
He knew that this was an absurd idea in itself, so he didn't even dare to say it out loud. He could only think and plan silently in his heart.
The next day, Boss Dai finally made up his mind to take the risk.
He selected ten capable agents from among the special agents, sent them to the air force base, used trainer planes, and began secret operations and practical training, including Japanese language learning and so on.
"Hahaha! Boss Dai is really a talent! He was the one who came up with the idea of letting a Japanese become the underground emperor of Shanghai and a puppet of the Chinese."
When Fang Bo heard that Du Song had made Shinichi Shimabashi the top boss of Shanghai's underground market in public, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The Japanese want face-saving projects, but we want practical needs! This is called everyone has their own needs and everyone gets what they want!"
Du Zhen also echoed.
"More importantly, Du Song was appointed as the deputy director of the Commercial Control Bureau, in charge of the safety of goods circulation outside Shanghai, and became our umbrella of protection. This is really a bit funny. It makes people laugh and cry."
Pan Guozhan also said happily.
Just then, the door was pushed open and Yuan Cheng walked in from outside.
"Reporting to Secretary Fang, there is an important situation. After further analysis and investigation, I judge that the Japanese are likely to carry out aircraft maintenance at the Hongqiao Aircraft Maintenance Plant this time."
When they heard the word "plane", everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Yuan Cheng.
"Maintaining the aircraft?" Du Zhen was the first to ask in disbelief.
"Can airplanes be repaired? They should be assembled, right?" Pan Guozhan also asked.
But Fang Bo did not seem that shocked or excited, and answered casually:
"Although this piece of information is very important, it has little to do with us because we don't even have a single plane yet, let alone an air force or pilots. Even if Qingbai gave us a plane now, I'm afraid we would just stare blankly and not be able to take it away."
"Isn't there any instructions from the Shancheng headquarters?" Pan Guozhan looked at Yuan Cheng and asked again.
Yuan Cheng shook his head and said nothing.
"Oh! How great it would be if we had an air force!"
Then, Pan Guozhan sighed again.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning! If only we could have a plane and a pilot!" Yuan Cheng said with flames in his eyes.
"The difficulty lies in this first plane and the first pilot. To achieve this goal, our party has tried countless times, but all to no avail!"
Fang Bo also had a heavy expression and spoke the truth.
"The reason why the current war of resistance is so difficult is that China's air supremacy is firmly controlled by the Japanese. Before every major battle, all military targets, frontline positions, ammunition depots, and grain depots will be bombed by Japanese planes. This has greatly affected the morale of the soldiers at the front."
Pan Guozhan also added.
"Okay! You can continue to pay attention to this issue. We will study it in detail when there are specific circumstances!"
Fang Bo said finally.
So everyone went their separate ways.
The Shanghai Hongqiao Aircraft Maintenance Factory was in a dilapidated state, with weeds and vines growing everywhere.
Due to confidentiality reasons, Colonel Montenegro did not send Chinese workers to clean up the garbage.
Looking at the rusty lathe equipment, Jiang Duqingkong, the chief engineer brought from Japan this time, looked at Colonel Heishan and said:
"Colonel Montenegro, the mission we accepted this time is not very good. Look at the machinery and equipment. They have begun to rust. I don't know if the accuracy can still be achieved. So, I can't guarantee the quality of the repair."
"Please don't worry about this, Jiang Dujun. As long as we try our best, I believe the Air Force will not blame us!"
Colonel Montenegro answered truthfully.
"I just can't figure it out. Are these four broken planes worth repairing? Can we defeat China just by saving this little money?"
Jiang Du Qingkong complained.
Upon hearing this, Colonel Heishan immediately became serious and said:
"Jiang Dujun! I remind you to be careful about your pessimistic words. You should know that your words will affect your entire team and directly affect the quality of aircraft maintenance. I hope you can cheer up and complete this aircraft maintenance task with high quality."
"Okay! I'll do my best." Jiang Du Qingkong said, and walked towards the plane wreckage on the ground.
"You two! You all heard what Colonel Montenegro said. Tell me! Who will be assigned to protect the aircraft maintenance plant this time?"
In the military police headquarters, in Sato Ichiro's office, Sato Ichiro looked at Tanaka Keiko and Hihara Ryosuke and asked.
"Why are they doing aircraft maintenance in Shanghai again?"
Tanaka Keiko muttered in confusion.
"These are relatively sophisticated weapons. How can we use the wreckage to repair them? Isn't this playing with the lives of the imperial soldiers?"
Hihara Ryosuke was also dissatisfied.
"This can only prove one thing, that is, domestic aircraft production is far from meeting the needs of the current war. This is just a stopgap measure and emergency strategy. Let's not discuss this issue anymore."
Sato Ichiro reminded.
Keiko Tanaka did not respond, but Ryosuke Hihara kept looking at Keiko Tanaka.
Ichiro Sato was not in a hurry and just waited slowly.
Just like that, the three of them fell into silence for a while!
After a while, Tanaka Keiko finally spoke:
"Do you think Li Qun is capable of doing this?"
Ichiro Sato didn't say anything, but turned his head and looked at Ryosuke Hihara, waiting for his answer.
