You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

Upon hearing this number, Lin Feng nodded calmly on the surface, but inwardly he was muttering to himself.

In fact, in the early stages of the War of Resistance against Japan, when there was no radar or precise video recording equipment, it was very difficult to calculate the results of air battles.

It wasn't until the later stages of World War II that airborne camera guns linked with machine guns were developed, using shutters to capture the moment of firing and then developing the photos to determine the effectiveness of the hit.

Now, it all depends on the pilots' verbal account after landing, or cross-verification by pilots from other aircraft.

In intense dogfights, it is common for several aircraft to attack a single target simultaneously, or to mistake a smoking enemy aircraft for one that has been shot down.

Therefore, the battle reports of air forces from various countries are usually quite exaggerated.

However, Lin Feng has the system as his absolutely impartial referee.

The system will immediately issue a notification once the Japanese vehicles are completely destroyed.

With a thought, Lin Feng opened the system interface that only he could see.

Destroy one Japanese Army Type 1 heavy bomber aircraft, earning +180 merit points.

Destroy one Japanese Army Type 1 heavy bomber aircraft, earning +180 merit points.

Destroy one Japanese Army Type 1 fighter plane, earn +80 merit points.

Destroy one Japanese Army Type 1 fighter plane, earn +80 merit points.

……

On the system interface, a long list of kill records filled the screen, making Lin Feng feel refreshed.

Compared to the dilapidated biplanes shot down in Shanghai at the beginning of the war, the merit points awarded for destroying these new Japanese aircraft were significantly more generous.

Lin Feng carefully counted the system records.

In fact, the Japanese planes that were completely destroyed, shot down in mid-air, or crashed today were 19 bombers and 8 fighters.

A total of 27 aircraft.

Lin Feng estimated that the remaining 5 missing aircraft were either due to pilots double-counting during the intense battle.

Either the Japanese plane was damaged and belching black smoke, but it still managed to fly back to the Japanese-controlled area and make an emergency landing.

This is understandable, since the system pilots are experiencing such a large-scale air battle for the first time since coming to this world.

"Damn it, whatever, it's a resounding victory!"

Lin Feng waved his hand and said directly into the phone:

"Yushu, report the battle results directly."

They shot down 32 aircraft, including 23 twin-engine large bombers and 9 fighters.

"Have the theater command immediately issue a nationwide telegram to boost the morale of our Great Xia's military and civilians."

"yes!"

After processing the battle reports, Lin Feng personally went to the pilots' canteen at the airport to celebrate the victory of all the pilots who participated in the battle.

The cafeteria was filled with large portions of meat and fish, and even several cases of imported liquor produced by the system were brought in.

Lin Feng, holding a wine glass, went from table to table toasting, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

At a table in the corner, Lin Feng met the pilot who had parachuted into his own defense zone.

The young man's arm was wrapped in thick bandages, in a cast, and hung from his neck.

"Commander Lin, I've disgraced you. The plane couldn't be saved..." The pilot saw Lin Feng and tried to stand up with some shame.

"Sit down, sit down."

Lin Feng pressed down on his shoulder, carefully examined his injuries, and comforted him:

"You fell when you landed after parachuting?"

A minor fracture is nothing serious.

It's good that everyone is alright.

Because in the system, every time an aircraft is purchased, it comes with a pilot and ground crew.

Therefore, the number of pilots under Lin Feng's command is actually strictly tied to the number of aircraft.

Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"You can focus on recovering."

Once you've recovered from your injury, you can work as a substitute pilot on the ground. I'll find you some trainees to mentor you.

I guarantee that it won't be long before you have the chance to return to the skies and kill the Japanese devils.

After reassuring the pilots and ensuring they had good food and drinks in the mess hall,

Lin Feng put away his smile, pulled Zhao Feixiong along, and called Zhou Ruida. The three of them walked into the airport's operations room together.

Lin Feng first turned to look at Zhou Ruida, sparing no praise:

"Major Zhou, your engineering corps has done a great job this time."

The fake airport you made is incredibly realistic.

We successfully deceived the Japanese bomber group, wasting their bombs and saving our real bombs.

Go back to the logistics department and collect twenty cases of cigarettes and one hundred barrels of beer to treat the brothers well.

"That's great!" Zhou Ruida was overjoyed.

Then, Lin Feng walked to the huge sand table, pointed to the terrain around Jiawang, and said seriously:

"However, this incident also serves as a reminder to us."

Lin Feng picked up his baton and tapped it on the sand table:

"Never put all your eggs in one basket."

Although the fake airport tactic successfully fooled the Japanese, we still have too few real airports, and the targets are too concentrated.

Once the Japanese get on our heels, or if they split their forces and bomb us from multiple directions, we could easily find ourselves in a passive and defensive position.

Lin Feng placed his hands on the edge of the sand table, striking a pose like a nouveau riche, and said domineeringly:

"We have money now, and the money we make from arms deals is enough for us to splurge for a while."

Major Zhou, your engineering battalion is going to be busy for a while.

Immediately build me more real and fake airports in hidden areas around Jiawang, Taierzhuang, and even Weishan Lake.

Even a cunning rabbit needs three burrows; we should prepare several more for the Japanese to bomb.

"Yes."

Zhou Ruida puffed out his chest and said confidently:

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, this area is all plains, and we have plenty of machinery such as bulldozers and road rollers at our disposal."

Building a few field dirt runways would be incredibly efficient; one could be completed in just a few days.

"very good."

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Zhao Feixiong:

"Fei Xiong, I'm here not only to replenish your air force's losses from this operation."

I will continue to invest money to buy more planes.

They should be dispersed and deployed in different airports to form a cross-protected air defense network.

We absolutely cannot allow the Japanese to exploit a time lag, leaving us in a precarious situation like we did today.

Lin Feng looked at this professional air force commander and humbly asked:

"Major Zhao, do you have any professional advice regarding the upcoming fighter jet procurement?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feixiong immediately stopped smiling, frowned slightly, and got back to work.

"Your Excellency, the BF-109E3 fighter jets we are currently equipped with are indeed far superior to the Japanese in performance."

The firepower is very strong, and the instantaneous output is quite impressive.

However, it has a fatal flaw: the 20mm cannon has far too little ammunition.

Zhao Feixiong sighed, gesturing with a hint of helplessness towards his name:

"The two cannons in the wings each have a drum magazine with only 60 rounds of ammunition."

If used to destroy those heavily armored, large twin-engine bombers of the Japanese, it would only take three short bursts to use up all the shells.

A pilot can likely only shoot down one bomber per sortie, which is too inefficient.

"This problem is easy to solve."

Lin Feng stroked his chin. The results of this air battle were quite fruitful, enough for him to use his merit points to upgrade these BF-109E3s.
