Zhang Yimin shook his head and said:

"Commander Han, what you said yesterday was not wrong at all, I don't blame you at all, and thank you for giving us such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. In order to win the war against Little Japan, we Chinese soldiers had to put in layer by layer, so many brothers filled in, what did we have to fill in. There are also those who come later, and they have to fill it in. There's nothing strange about that? ”

Hearing his sonorous and powerful words, Han Xing was speechless. What do you say, it is out of humanity and cannot let them go, and out of righteousness, you cannot prevent them from sacrificing their lives.

Zhang Yimin said to Han Xing again: "I still ask Commander Han for something." If we ask for war, the above will definitely not allow it, because these planes will be left to protect Chongqing. But if you ask us to fight, it's different, you're a guest, and they're not good at saying anything. I still ask Commander Han to directly ask Zhou Zhirou to fight, and allow us to start this first battle with the Zero plane, so as to give the Chinese Air Force behind it a wake-up call. ”

Han Xing had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll call this report to Zhou Zhirou, but I have to use your radio station and frequency." ”

"Of course." Zhang Yimin said.

At this time, although Chiang Kai-shek was the chairman of the Air Force Committee of the Republic of China, Zhou Zhirou was in charge of specific air force affairs. At this time, Zhou Zhirou was the director of the Aviation Committee of the Republic of China and the commander-in-chief of the General Headquarters of the former enemy of the Republic of China Air Force.

Han Xing immediately sent a telegram to Zhou Zhirou through the air force radio at Nanyang Airport. The full text is as follows:

Your Excellency General Zhou, Former Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force of the Republic of China:

Recently, in an air battle, our Southern Expeditionary Force suddenly encountered a Japanese Zero plane. The Zero aircraft has a small turning radius, fast speed, long range, and fierce firepower, and its various indicators have been superior to those of Soviet planes and European and American planes, and it is really a major disaster for our air force in air combat in the future.

As for its various technical indicators and actual air combat capabilities, they can only be written after the main fighters of our country, the I-15 and I-16, and the actual combat of the aircraft. Zhang Yimin, Squadron of the Fifth Squadron of the Fourth Brigade of the Air Force of the Republic of China, is brave and loyal, and is willing to sacrifice himself to obtain various indicators of the Zero aircraft, so as to obtain the foundation for the design departments of the allies in the future to design fighters that are better than the Zero aircraft.

Time is running out, and I ask General Zhou to make a decision early. Air Force experts were also requested to make detailed records of the actual combat situation.

Commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Han Xing

May 1, 29th year of the Republic of China

It didn't take long for Zhou Zhirou to send a telegram back to Han Xing. This telegram was given to Han Xing by Zhang Yimin.

Under the command of Han Xing, commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army:

I received a call to learn that we know that there was a fierce air battle at Nanyang Airport, and the Southern Expeditionary Army, under your command, broke the Japanese army under the city with a loss ratio of 0 to 7, which is really the glory of our Chinese soldiers. On behalf of all the officers and men of the Air Force, I would like to express my highest respect and congratulations to you! He also awarded the highest honor of the Air Force with the first-class medal and awarded 2,000 yuan.

It was amazing to know that the Japanese army had changed to a Zero aircraft! If it is true, it is really a great harm to the Air Force of our Republic of China! However, the air force of the Republic of China is weak, and it is not easy to defend our Chongqing capital, and it is really no longer capable of fighting the Japanese army in the air. Please forgive me, but I can't break my foundation for the sake of a few new aircraft.

As for sending military experts, experts in our air force are really scarce, and they are not as experienced as brothers in actual combat. I hope my brother understands my hardships and puts the overall situation first!

Zhou Zhirou, Director of the Aviation Committee of the Republic of China and General Command of the Former Enemy of the Republic of China Air Force

May 1, 29th year of the Republic of China

After Han Xing got this telegram, he didn't speak for a long time. After a pause, he said to Zhang Yimin: "Captain Zhang, what we should have done has already been done." This is already a cross-level petition, Zhou Zhirou does not approve it, and we have no choice. Please also ask Captain Zhang to calm down and take a rest! ”

Zhang Yimin shook his head and said to Han Xing: "These planes at Nanyang Airport have been abandoned for a long time. We, the officers and men of the Air Force, have not been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have also been abolished. Although people are still panting, they have already lost the responsibilities that a soldier should bear, and they are wasted. Commander Han, I beg you for one more thing, why don't you directly ask Chairman Chiang for war? ”

Han Xing said: "Such a big Nanyang air battle, do you think Chairman Jiang doesn't know?" There is also the matter of us asking Zhou Zhirou to fight, and Zhou Zhirou may not necessarily not tell Chairman Jiang. I estimate that in order to keep these remaining planes to defend Chongqing, the highest department of the Air Force has already made up its mind not to use these remaining planes until the last resort. ”

Zhang Yimin said: "These top departments of the Air Force are high, and it seems that they are right, but in fact they are wrong. If we don't come up with a way to deal with the Zero as soon as possible, the rest of these planes will be a pile of waste. What's the use of more and less? It's not all live targets. ”

Han Xing nodded, don't look at Zhang Yimin's official size, but he has an overall view. The first to fight a war, the first to expose our weaknesses, the first to wake up the Air Force, the first to design a fighter that can compete with the Zero, this is the wisest tactical method.

Not to mention these broken planes, there are as many as enemy planes, if the technical superiority is too bad, what is the use! It's not like it's a one-touch collapse, and you'll be beaten by the enemy!

Han Xing sighed deeply and said, "Now we are really helpless and helpless!" ”

Zhang Yimin shook his head and said, "Commander Han, I don't agree with your statement. All the officers and men of the 5th Squadron of our 4th Brigade are willing to risk disobeying military orders and must fight the Zero aircraft. Let's use our martyrdom to clear the way for the future Chinese Air Force to defeat the Japanese Zero! ”

Han Xing was taken aback when he heard this: "This ...... This...... This is at the risk of disobeying military orders. ”

"Don't worry, Commander Han," Zhang Yimin said loudly, "We will never involve your Southern Expeditionary Army, this is entirely our personal behavior." However, he still asked Commander Han to find relevant air force experts, write a detailed air combat report, and then submit it to the highest department of the air force. ”

Han Xing had no choice but to nod silently and said, "It should be." ”

After Zhang Yimin said these words, he strode away. Looking at his solid background, Han Xing was speechless to say to him......

There are often such situations on the battlefield, the enemy's blockhouses in front of them block the road, and it is necessary for a figure like Dong Cunrui to appear and sacrifice himself and blow up the blockhouse so that the follow-up troops can continue to advance. Zhang Yimin is a character like Dong Cunrui!

The deeper meaning is that they know that they can't do it, and they go out to fight because their superiors don't want them to fight, risking disobeying military orders, and accumulating richer actual combat experience for defeating the Zero fighter in the future. This is not only to sacrifice one's own body, but also to sacrifice one's own name.

The latter is more determined than the former! The ideological realm is also higher!!

Han walked onto the tarmac. At this time, Zhang Yimin's flight squadron was already nervously busy, they uncovered the reeds, straw mats, etc., opened the wooden shelves covering the planes, and then pulled the planes out one by one and began to maintain the planes.

Wipe the plane, put the bomb on the oil, test the aircraft engine, and get busy.

They weren't waiting anymore and were going to openly engage in a battle with the Japanese Zeros.

They didn't seem to have the slightest nervousness, just like an ordinary pre-battle preparation, one by one sweating profusely, carefully and carefully.

Zhang Fei was also on the Nanyang airfield, and their main task was to transport troops and equipment, and they could not transport them during the day, and they were afraid of being attacked by the enemy, so they could only work at night. When this round was finished, four transport planes and J-20 fighters were delayed at the airfield in Nanyang.

Zhang Fei asked Han Xing: "Commander Han, what is the Republic of China Air Force going to do?" ”

Han Xing said: "They are going to have an air battle with the Japanese Zero planes. ”

Zhang Fei looked at these old Soviet Yi-15 and Yi-16 fighters and smiled, and said: "Commander Han, are they joking, aren't they holding eggs and touching stones!" Aside from us, the Zero is already the best aircraft in the world, and no one can match them! ”

Han Xing said: "But the highest department of the Republic of China Air Force is still in the dark and has not yet woken up. They want to use their own sacrifices to gain the awakening of the Air Force of the Republic of China, to gain experience in actual combat, and to expose the weaknesses of these outdated aircraft. Someone has to do this job, right!? ”

Zhang Fei was speechless after hearing this, and it took a long time before he said: "Cow, these Republic of China Air Force are really good, give them a thumbs up!" ”

"It's not a matter of liking," Mr. Han said, "and history will leave their exploits, their names." ”

Zhang Fei said: "What I didn't expect was that the Kuomintang Air Force still had such people who dared to die. Admire! Admire! ”

Han Xing said to him: "If there is really a war today, you will also take to the air, and how many planes can be saved." Also, it is necessary to write a detailed report on the actual combat of the Yi-15 and Yi-16 fighting the Zero aircraft, and the more detailed the better. ”

Zhang Fei gave a military salute to Han Xing and said, "Yes!" ”

While they were talking, the air raid sirens went off again. This is the Nanyang Airport guard post in the distance that has discovered the enemy's aircraft attacking, and Zhang Fei's radar has already discovered 12 enemy planes flying towards this side, and also issued an air combat alarm!

Zhang Yimin's four Yi-15 fighters and four Yi-16 fighters urgently took to the air to meet the attacking Japanese Zero fighters. Zhang Fei's four J-20 fighters also rushed into the air to carry out a special air combat mission.

It turned out that after Lingmu returned to the Hankou base, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, what was going on. It is really unbelievable that our unprecedented Zero aircraft were completely defeated, and even to the end of the battle, we did not see the shadow of the enemy plane.
