Chapter 2019: Paddy River

Shuitian Zhijiang is a second lieutenant pilot, currently serving in the Second Flying Squadron of the North China Front Army.

Like most Japanese pilots, Shuitian Zhijiang is very arrogant and cold.

The reason is very simple. Although they also belong to the army according to the organization of the island country, they belong to the top of the pyramid in the army.

In a sense, their status is more important than the cavalry, which has been honored for hundreds of years.

Shuitian Zhijiang is very clear about the routine of the cavalry.

Without any family background or property, ordinary Japanese can't enter any cavalry unit at all.

In a word, the cavalry unit is the patent of the children of rich and powerful families.

And these young Japanese are mixed in the cavalry unit, the purpose is very simple, that is, to get promoted.

In fact, this routine is very common.

After mixing in the cavalry unit for a period of time, many Japanese will transform themselves and directly become officers of various ordinary army units.

Under normal circumstances, after entering various ordinary army units, with a little experience, they can become officers above the level of captain and squadron leader.

For most ordinary Japanese, the captain is a peak that they will never reach in their lifetime.

Once they become captains, these cavalry officers will continue to climb up because of their huge advantages in terms of connections.

Japanese with extremely high military literacy and good command and combat skills may even become Japanese generals.

However, in Shuitian Zhijiang's eyes, these Japanese are so successful because of their family background and wealth.

If they were born in ordinary families, let alone becoming generals, even becoming captains would be impossible.

In fact, because Lao Shu participated in front-line battles, liked to be proud of dying on the battlefield, and the requirements of officers at all levels were extremely strict, it was difficult for these Japanese to survive for too long.

On the Chinese side, although the soldiers' military literacy was average and their weapons and equipment were poor, they were also deadly.

If you are not careful, you will really be beaten to death.

To use the Chinese saying, if you stand by the river, you will get your shoes wet.

Not to mention the bullets and pitiful shells from China, they can easily kill a Japanese soldier with simple cold weapons such as broadswords and spears.

What Shuitian Zhijiang likes most is that those Japanese soldiers with good family backgrounds have thought about developing in the Army Aviation Corps, but most of them find it difficult to do so.

The reason is very simple. They were eliminated because of various unqualified conditions during the physical examination.

To become a pilot, various physical qualities are required to be extremely high.

Simply relying on family background, thinking of entering the aviation corps casually, and then thinking of promotion, is extremely difficult.

To be precise, it is impossible.

In a word, not everyone can enter the aviation corps if they want to.

If you don’t have good physical fitness or poor eyesight, there are only two ways to enter the aviation corps, that is, to be a ground staff.

In addition, there is another way, that is to become a member of the garrison.

Flight ground crew?

Haha, you will know when you come in, it is definitely extremely heavy physical labor.

In fact, in addition to being very tired, the work pressure is also very high.

On the one hand, whether it is refueling the aircraft or installing various weapons and equipment, it is very heavy.

Especially during the battle, that is, when the aircraft is in battle, it must complete the task quickly when it comes back to refuel and add ammunition.

At the same time, whether it is ground officers or pilots, in order to quickly take off again, they often urge again and again.

Obviously, when urging, their tone will never be very good.

If they disagree, they will definitely curse.

Even if they encounter officers and pilots with bad tempers, they will be beaten up.

Even worse, they will be shot on the spot.

In addition, when refueling, especially when installing shells and bombs, they will be detonated accidentally.

Once detonated, the consequences will be disastrous.

In a word, the labor intensity of ground crews is too high, and they are often scolded, beaten, and even beaten to death.

Family members know their own affairs best.

In order to encircle and suppress the suspected supreme commander of the Loyal and Patriotic Army, Shuitian Zhijiang, like other Japanese pilots, had frequently returned to the airport to refuel and load ammunition for a long time.

As before, Shuitian Zhijiang saw again that the ground crew were busy and cautious.

It was a lot of effort!

If you disagree, you will not end up well.

In fact, in Shuitian Zhijiang's opinion, it is difficult to get promoted in the airport security force.

To put it bluntly, serving in these troops is actually a second-line or even third-line force.

To be precise, it is a logistics force.

Using your toes to think about it, you can also know how difficult it is to get promoted in the airport security force!

In any case, it is more comfortable to be a pilot.

As a pilot, there are special high-end dormitories where you live.

In terms of food, all kinds of food are nutritious and taste good.

In terms of promotion, it can be said to be a meteoric rise.

With a higher rank, it is very convenient to make money or get women.

Most importantly, as a pilot, the safety guarantee is very good.

On the Chinese side, before and after the Battle of Songhu, there were not many of the few planes left.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, there is no need to consider being targeted by the Chinese Air Force.

Even if the Chinese Air Force was dispatched, because the number was too small, facing the absolute advantage of its own number and quality, it was also to send military merits to its own side.

In most battles, Shuitian Zhijiang had to do very simple things.

Driving this fighter, he bombarded and intensively strafed various targets in China.

If I have to describe it, it is a one-sided crushing.

The most important thing is that in addition to not having many planes, China did not even have many anti-aircraft weapons.

Not to mention anti-aircraft guns, even anti-aircraft machine guns, China did not have many.

In fact, there were almost no rapid-fire guns, that is, anti-tank guns, that were simple to deal with Douding tanks.

On the Chinese side, there were not many rapid-fire guns to deal with Douding tanks. Naturally, those Douding tanks with thin skin and large fillings could often run rampant on various positions in China.

Facing the rampage of these dummy tanks, China can only use dozens or even hundreds of lives to fill the gap.

In fact, to deal with dummy tanks, in addition to rapid-fire cannons, other cannons can do this job.

Unfortunately, China does not dare to do so.

On the one hand, the larger the caliber of the cannon, the longer the range.

In this case, the accuracy of the artillery will naturally be very poor.

Naturally, if you want to deal with dummy tanks, you need to consume a lot of artillery shells.

China is so poor, how can it be willing to use so many artillery shells?

The most important thing is that once the Chinese artillery is dispatched, the devils will immediately lock their positions.

Without any hesitation, at that time, the devil artillery will definitely eliminate the Chinese artillery with the dual advantages of quantity and quality.

In this way, there is no way. When China wants to hold its position and faces dummy tanks, it can only use human lives to fill the gap.
