Chapter 126: Xinjiekou Crisis (4)
On the night of the 14th of the month, Nanchang, Nanchang Airport.
Nanchang is one of the important military bases of the Chinese Air Force at this time, especially after the destruction of Nanjing, Nanchang's status is particularly special.
This is because there are two well-equipped airports, as well as a small aircraft factory that can manufacture aircraft.
Therefore, since the beginning of the war, the Japanese army has attacked here many times, and the third, fourth, and ninth brigades of the Chinese Air Force have been stationed here.
In addition, the bomber brigade and fighter brigade of the Soviet Volunteer Air Force for China are also stationed here in Nanchang to defend Nanchang together with the Chinese Air Force, which is not strong.
And tonight in the sky, a passenger plane arrived at Nanchang Airport, and at the airport, a group of people had been waiting for a long time.
Soon a few people got off the plane, and when they saw the two people in the lead, the people below were respectful.
Don't talk about the first one, Zhou Zhirou, the timing controller of the Aviation Committee, and the one next to him is Le Yiqin.
It stands to reason that this one should be hung up at this time.
It's a pity that the injuries encountered with Leng Jie and Han Bin made him unable to take to the air at the beginning of the defense of Nanjing, and naturally survived.
For Le Yiqin, everyone at the airport is very familiar with it, because there are people from the Fourth Brigade here, and Le Yiqin is also the first ace pilot of the Chinese Air Force, so he is naturally a household name.
However, for Zhou Zhirou to rush to Nanchang in person, the people present were a little puzzled.
Perhaps knowing everyone's doubts, after coming to the command room next to him, Zhou Zhirou also said straight to the point.
"This time, in addition to condolences to all of you who fought with the Japanese air force on the front line, there is another important matter." Zhou Zhirou said.
"Chief Zhou, what's the matter?" Li Guidan asked.
At this time, Gao Zhihang had already died at Zhoukou Airport in Henan, Le Yiqin went to Wuhan to recuperate from his injuries, and Li Guidan was the captain of the Fourth Destroyer Brigade with the rank of captain.
"It's simple, but it's dangerous." Zhou Zhirou glanced at these people present, so to speak, these people are all excellent pilots he trained, "Some of you may know about the situation in Nanjing, right?" ”
Li Guidan nodded, "Back to Sir, we only found out today." Is this for us to go to support Nanjing? Let's arrange it! ”
Before Li Guidan could take action, Zhou Zhirou stopped him, "Don't worry. Our current fighters are very difficult to defend even the basics, how can we support Nanjing? Isn't that a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return?
You are all excellent pilots that I have trained for many years, and you are also the best pilots in China at this time, and you are the pride of the Chinese Air Force. ”
"What do you mean, sir?" Li Guidan was puzzled.
"The chairman and his wife all knew about Nanjing, and after discussions between the chairman and the commanders of the high command, it was finally decided that we would send two planes with printed leaflets to the airdrop over Nanjing.
Mainly the bears were in the security zone, calling on the soldiers of the security zone to take up arms to defend Nanjing.
This task is simple, because you don't need to fight the Japanese in the air, you just need to drop leaflets over the safe zone in Nanjing.
However, it is also dangerous, because the Japanese army may have used the Oshoba airfield, and even stationed warplanes there. When the time comes, there is a high probability that there will be a certain danger for the two pilots on the mission. ”
As soon as Zhou Zhirou's voice fell, Li Guidan immediately asked Zhandao, "Sir, I'll go!" ”
"Sir, I'll go too!"
"Sir, let me go!"
"I'm willing to go!"
。。。
For a time, these young pilots scrambled to be the first, not thinking about the danger at all.
Although the performance of the Air Force in the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was not very outstanding, and the results were not very good, the Army could not compare with the spirit of treating death as home.
As for the Navy, where to cool off, where to stay!
It's not that the navy can't do it, but after the Battle of Jiangyin, the navy was basically abolished and completely reduced to an inland river fleet. Moreover, the warships are all kittens, and in the army, navy and air force, they have completely become the bottom existence.
However, in terms of overall quality, the Air Force is the highest, because the pilots of the Air Force are basically the children of rich families. Because people from poor families can't afford to go to school, let alone be admitted to aviation schools, or even study abroad.
Moreover, the pilots of the Air Force are basically in a state of seeing death as if they were at home on the battlefield. In the entire Anti-Japanese War, the Air Force killed more than 3,000 people, don't look at this number is small, but the cost of training a pilot is called high, and this number accounts for a large proportion of the entire Air Force pilots.
Seeing the performance of these subordinates, Zhou Zhirou was also very happy.
"Don't argue, among the two people, Captain Le Yiqin should occupy one, which is hand-picked by the chairman. As for the other one... Zhou Zhirou looked at the pilots at the scene, and then said, "Captain Li, you are now the captain of the brigade, and the task of defending Nanchang is also relatively arduous, so don't go."
As for the rest of the person, let Captain Dong Mingde go. ”
"Yes, sir, mission guaranteed!" Dong Mingde stood up and gave a standard military salute to Zhou Zhirou.
"The airdrop time is early in the morning after tomorrow, remember, return immediately after the airdrop, and don't entangle with the Japanese army." Zhou Zhirou advised.
"Yes!"
Le Yiqin and Dong Mingde nodded.
。。。。。。
Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences.
In the past two days, the Japanese army has become more and more rampant in the security zone, although the German Rabe has demarcated the security zone, and after the Nationalist Government recognized it, the Japanese Government also recognized it.
However, the Japanese troops below did not fulfill their duties, and continued to run rampant in the security zone, and rape, robbery, and murder occurred from time to time.
Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences, in particular, has thousands of refugees, the vast majority of whom are women. Although there is a sign of the security zone at the door, and foreigners take turns on duty, such a large school is not used by only a few foreigners.
From time to time, Japanese soldiers climbed through the courtyard wall or broke in directly through the back door, and then came in to rob or take away a few girls, and this situation began yesterday when the Japanese army entered the city, especially last night, more than 20 girls were taken away by the Japanese army.
"General Sun, your troops are resisting at Xinjiekou...
In the secret room on the top floor of Jinling Women's Liberal Arts College, a bald foreign man in a black suit is telling the middle-aged man hiding in the secret room what he has learned.
The middle-aged man was dressed in civilian clothes, but looking at his eyes and figure, he also knew that he was not an ordinary person, but more like a military person.
"Mr. Rabe, they won't last long. Don't come over every day during this time, the Japanese army is strict, and Sun doesn't want more people to know that Sun is hiding here. The middle-aged man directly rejected the offer to go out.
