Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Ibn Saud signed the secret agreement, Yang Qiu felt relieved and wished he could return home immediately to start preparing for the establishment of Saudi Arabia.  However, in order to cover up the secret, he stayed in Riyadh for two more days to attend an investment signing meeting held by Beizuyi and Ben Aziz under false pretenses, and disclosed the first contract.

    The construction of a super large reservoir in Riyadh, a large heavy oil power plant, and the construction of the Gulf Oil Company's first refinery in Najd These three projects are simply difficult for anyone to find fault with. They not only make the UK relieved, but also  This made them very suspicious, so they sent many intelligence agents to find out the inside story.  Fortunately, the Saudi family also knew that their status might be overturned after the secret agreement was exposed, so only the most core personnel knew about it, and the people around Yang Qiu had already been screened and screened by several major intelligence agencies.

    After leaving Riyadh, Yang Qiu continued to visit Turkey and held talks with Kemal, the founding father of Turkey, in Istanbul.  Kemal, who knew that a strong military was the foundation of a country, took a quick look at the 160mm heavy mortars and Albatross transport aircraft that were so popular in Afghanistan.  Finally, after some bargaining, not only the China-Turkmenistan Friendship Declaration was signed, but also the chromite ore was exchanged for 188 mortars and 42 Albatross at a price of 5,000 yuan per mortar and 100,000 yuan per transport aircraft.  Contract for transport aircraft in 1924.

    Najd¡¯s procrastination and Turkey¡¯s cheerfulness made the British Empire¡¯s intelligence agencies very tired. Worried that he would make a surprise visit to Persia and India, the British Royal Navy even sent a cruiser to follow the Taiwan Island as it turned around and entered the Strait of Malacca before stopping.

    While crossing Natuna Island, the annual military exercise "Mistral 1927" kicked off.  Images of hundreds of planes flying over Lake Balkhash in swarms deeply irritated Moscow.  The new Siberian Railway had not yet been opened to traffic, and although Kazakhstan had troops stationed in Kazakhstan, they were not in sufficient numbers. Troops had to be mobilized from the Urals and the Caspian Sea for support.  The frequently mobilized Soviet troops failed to hide this from European intelligence agencies, and soon the news of "war between China and the Soviet Union" spread like wildfire.

    Facing the increasingly tense situation, Nanjing continued to fight with Yegorov¡¯s ministry in Afghanistan, while sending Wang Zhengting and Xu Shuzheng to visit Moscow, pretending to use peace talks to solve the Afghan problem.  Moscow also wanted peace talks, but firmly rejected the Soviet Union's prerequisite request to withdraw from Afghanistan.

    The war in the heart of Central Asia is getting hotter and hotter than the weather.  The passive British army retreated to Kandahar.  The door to the southwest of Kabul was completely opened. If it were not for the continuous mountainous terrain that could not ensure logistics, and Long Yun's decisive attack to occupy Kunduz, which threatened the Soviet army's supply difficulties on the northern front, Yegorov might have completed the encirclement long ago.

    The end of August is the hottest season.  A just-delivered Albatross 1927 transport aircraft slowly landed at Kabul Airport under the protection of two Falcon C fighter jets.  Compared with 1924, the appearance of Albatross 1927 has completely changed!  If it really looks like that aircraft, then in appearance it should look more like a three-engine version of the Boeing 247 with an enlarged fuselage. The latter is still in the minds of Boeing designers.

    The Albatross 1927 uses many new technologies, including a 750-horsepower air-cooled engine with a fairing, a new airfoil, and the fuselage has also been transformed into a spindle streamline shape with less resistance and more aerodynamics.  Large hatches are also used based on actual combat experience to facilitate loading and unloading.  For the first time, it innovatively used an instrument flight gyro panel, an autopilot, a pneumatic de-icing device, and a larger asymmetric variable pitch three-blade propeller, and Airbus successfully copied the retractable range from 1,200 kilometers based on the drawings last year.  The range soared to 1,800 kilometers, and the load capacity also increased from 1.5 tons to 2 tons.

    In addition to the detailed drawings of a large number of subsystems provided by Yang Qiu, the forward-looking attitude of Wang Zhu and others is also the main reason why the aircraft can be finalized and delivered at a rate of 20 aircraft per month in just one month after the war.  Because after the 1924 was finalized, the technical team of Meteor Company had already begun to develop this upgraded model, and began flight testing in the middle of last year. Now it is actually a mature model that has reached equipment capabilities.

    ??The price of a good plane is naturally expensive.  The fact that the price of the 1924 type soared directly from 70,000 yuan to 120,000 yuan made the Air Force, which had originally planned to take the opportunity to buy hundreds of aircraft, shrink its neck.  In addition, military expenditures have been compressed in recent years, and in the end, the plan to replace fighter jets that is not urgently needed can only be postponed.  Only 132 orders have been collected.

    When Yue Peng and Wu Peifu got off the plane, eight Albatross 1927s of the same model were leaping off the runway one after another, forming a formation and flying towards Tajikistan under the protection of six Falcons.  Although the Soviet Air Force was very poor, Moscow still transferred many aircraft. To ensure safety, fighter escort tactics began to be promoted.

    The Kabul Night War Airport in front of us is probably the busiest aviation hub in the world. In order to ensure sufficient supplies, more than 50 flights arrive here from Andijan, Tajikistan and even Kashgar every day, transporting weapons and ammunition, medicines, food, and gasoline urgently needed by the Air Force.  come over.  According to statistics from the Northwest Theater Command.  In the past four months, the Air Force has dispatched a total of 6,513 transport aircraft, bringing 9,842 soldiers and 8,550 tons of supplies.  9 aircraft were also lost in transportation due to mechanical failures and other reasons.plane, killing 37 outstanding pilots and crew members, and several others are missing.

    This is the first time in the history of war that such an airlift has occurred on a scale that has attracted the attention of observers from all over the world.  It is very rare for the National Defense Forces who have personal experience. Not to mention the improvement and use experience of transport aircraft, just how to schedule so many flights.  The experience of ensuring smooth radio navigation in plateau and mountainous areas, dealing with bad weather, etc. made the top brass of the Air Force lament that one battle would be enough to lead the world by 5 years!

    "Report, Army Colonel Long Yun is here to report."

    Long Yun, Fei Wenhua and other officers immediately went up to salute him.  The National Defense Forces are neither the old Beiyang nor the new army. They have learned from the brotherhood of the German army since its establishment and have strict hierarchical regulations. Through continuous wars and the European War, they have become a highly cohesive group.

    "It was a good fight. I have distributed the combat example of Kunduz to the entire army. Everyone should learn from it."

    Who is Yue Peng?  The number one general of the National Defense Force after Cai E's death!  Being able to get a good word from him is enough to make Fei Wenhua and other officers feel proud, not to mention that the battle cases in Kunduz have been reported to the entire army for study. It is difficult to think of promotion.

    After shaking hands with each officer, Yue Peng and Wu Peifu rushed to the field hospital next to the airport.  The simple tent was crowded with injured soldiers, but there were few screams of pain. Nurses shuttled back and forth among them, either applying medicine or giving injections.  Some lightly wounded soldiers took off their shirts and sat at the door to beat the heat. When they saw a female nurse walking by with a blushing face, one or two of them pretended to be heroes who were not afraid of bullets, and talked loudly about how they could single out seven or eight Soviet Unions.  soldiers.

    "Hey, before I came here, I heard that Maozi was tall and strong, and I was a little nervous. I didn't know until I got there, damn! One head and two legs, some of them are not as strong as me."

    "Are you such a bear? Look at me! I killed two of them before I rushed forward, knocked down three with my pistol when I got into position, and finally stabbed an official to death with a bayonet."

    "Fuck you! I'm a real guy. Did you see that? Kunduz was bitten by Soviet artillery shells, and it's missing three kilograms of meat! That guy, for three days and three nights, Soviet soldiers were everywhere, screaming and bombarding  . There were a few people who tried to grab my machine gun, but I knocked them all down in two seconds. If it weren¡¯t for this piece of shrapnel, we would have killed them three times in and three out" The sonorous and heroic aura of a man attracted several  The female trainee nurse kept peeking, her little ears stood straight up, and water dripped from her cheeks.  To make these "soldiers" even more proud, all they had to do was take off their pants, shake them off and pee in the wind.

    "Okay. What's the point of just blowing? If you like someone, take the initiative to ask them." Yue Peng walked over with a smile, and even gloated and encouraged the soldiers to pursue the little nurse.

    The soldiers were so frightened that they quickly stood up and wanted to salute. The little nurse looked at the famous general with bright eyes and was at a loss.  Soldiers are not afraid of ruffians, but they are afraid of being unable to fight. How many veterans who have experienced life and death on the battlefield are polite and upright?  The most capable fighters in the army so far are those guys who are not eager to taste foreign girls during the war in France.

    After asking everyone to excuse themselves, Yue Peng personally walked into the tent to check the situation.  Since the beginning of the battle with the Soviet army, the 10 battalions of troops stationed in Afghanistan have suffered more than 2,000 casualties. If it were not for the strong support of the air force, the situation would have been even worse.  But their record is also very amazing. Not only did they withstand the nearly three-month attack by more than 20,000 Soviet troops on the front of the Hindu Kush Mountains, but they also killed and wounded three times as many enemies. Kundus alone captured more than 2,000 soldiers, which was a heavy setback.  The Soviet army forced it to mobilize troops from the Urals and other places for support.

    But this has reached its limit. It is impossible for 10 battalions drawn from all over the country to conquer the world.  Moreover, as the weather gets cooler, it is unknown whether the plateau climate can continue to maintain aerial supply lines in winter.  "Ziyu, what do you think?" After walking out of the field hospital, Yue Peng stopped and turned to look at the tent, his expression gradually becoming serious.

    Wu Peifu knew the internal reasons for this war and said with a smile: "The goal has been achieved, so there is no need to let the brothers continue to endure it. If the Soviet Union wants Afghanistan, let it take it. Anyway, it is not our family that is unlucky. As long as we keep Kabul and Kunduz  In the mountainous area to the north, even the Emperor and I have nothing to do with us, and we can¡¯t tell who will be in charge here in the future!¡±

    "You are open-minded. That King Nadir Shah may be dying of anxiety."

    "If it's urgent, you don't have to rely on us. The British troops are hiding in Kandahar because they obviously don't want to fight. If he has the ability to convince the British, I would rather accompany the prince to study and go crazy again, otherwise I don't want to  Serve." Wu Peifu's words made Yue Peng smile faintly. Looking at the wounded soldiers behind him who were still watching, he knew it was time to withdraw.

    "Go and get ready. Before you leavedon't forget to leave some thoughts." Yue Peng waved his hand
