"I want to know how many BA-65 fighter jets are currently available?"

"In addition to the eight at Nanchang Airport, there are also 12 at Hankou Airport."

"there is none left?"

"There were originally twelve at Xi'an Airport. But this afternoon, they were all destroyed."

"shoot down?"

"All destroyed on the ground."

"Well……"

Zhang Yong tilted his head back.

This news is a bit unpleasant.

How could they all be destroyed on the ground? At least they were launched into the air to fight!

Are they all pigs?

The Japanese planes were attacking, but they didn’t know?

Oh, it seems that these days, without radar, it is really difficult to guard against incoming enemy planes.

If the Japanese aircraft bypassed the security guard at Xi'an Airport, the airport would indeed be caught off guard.

Those Japanese pilots were veterans, very experienced, and knew how to make a surprise attack.

"well……"

Min Gang sighed helplessly again.

Zhang Yong suddenly sat upright and cheered up.

We cannot continue to languish.

The situation is so bad, something must be done to boost morale.

"Order Xi'an Airport to send all BA-65 spare parts that are still usable to Nanchang Airport."

"OK."

"Also, can all the BA-65s at Hankou Airport be handed over to me?"

"I'll go coordinate it."

"good."

Zhang Yong pondered.

There are eight BA-65s here, and twelve more, making it twenty.

Then collect all the spare parts disassembled from other aircraft and repair them. Remove the east wall and repair the west wall. It should be able to hold up for a while.

The aircraft of the National Air Force are maintained in this way.

Therefore, the number will only get smaller and smaller. Eventually it will become zero.

However, as long as Zhang Yong is still at Nanchang Airport, the BA-65 will only suffer normal battle losses and will not be destroyed in large numbers.

Someone must be responsible for Xi'an Airport this time. The losses are so huge.

"And the Hawker plane..."

"About 50 Hawker-2s are still operational. About 120 Hawker-3s are still operational."

"oh……"

The situation is better than imagined.

There are actually more than a hundred Hawker-3s left. Not bad.

But then I thought about it, the total number of fighter jets currently available to the National Air Force is only over a hundred.

It is distributed in so many airports. Each airport has a little bit, but not much. It is like sprinkling pepper noodles. It covers everything.

The problem is that the initiative lies in the hands of the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese aviation forces were free to decide which airport to attack.

This is very fatal.

Being beaten passively!

For example, today, there is no fighting at Nanchang Airport and Hankou Airport. Everything is peaceful.

Just when everyone here was breathing a sigh of relief, bad news came from Lanzhou Airport and Xi'an Airport. It was also very fatal news.

Thirty or forty planes were lost all at once!

How can the National Air Force with such a small body afford it?

I wonder if anyone has reported Chiang Kai-shek?

Doesn't he know the truth...

The radar map showed that Zhang Ping was running over again.

"Report!"

"What's up?"

"Commissioner, Director Lin from the Attendant's Office is calling for you."

"Take it over!"

"Commissioner, this is a confidential line. You need to go to the tower..."

"good."

Zhang Yong then stood up.

Min Gang also stood up, realizing that the situation was serious.

Director Lin of the Attendance Office came to Zhang Yong, probably because of the failure in the afternoon. It was probably because someone reported the appointment.

You can even use your knees to imagine the expressions of the committee members.

Dozens of planes were lost in one afternoon. How should he explain to his wife?

At the moment, Madam is still in the beautiful country and has not come back yet.

Looking for Zhang Yong...

Either Zhang Yong is asked to enforce military law.

Or take over the combat command of the Air Force.

Hopefully it's the latter...

If it's the former, it means someone is going to lose his life.

The commissioner was furious.

I will definitely kill a few people to set an example.

"I hope it's the latter..."

In fact, Zhang Yong also thought so in his heart.

He also hoped it was the latter.

well……

Come to the tower.

Pick up the phone.

Everyone else stepped away automatically and consciously.

Confidential phone number.

The idlers retreated.

"Director Lin, it's me, Zhang Yong."

"Shaolong, you have heard about the fiasco this afternoon, right?"

"Zhang Ping just gave me a general report. I don't know the details. I heard that the loss was huge, right?"

"Yes. The losses were huge. It had a huge impact on morale."

"Then find me..."

"The commission is ready for you to take over all combat command of the Air Force."

"Now?"

"Yes. Right now."

"But, there are so many airports, I can't take care of them all!"

Zhang Yong told the truth.
