At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese fighters wreaked havoc in the skies of China. Hordes of Japanese fighters roared in the skies of China, dropping tons of aerial bombs on the land of China, turning positions into scorched earth, cities into ruins, countless soldiers being blown to pieces by artillery fire, and countless refugees turning into unjust souls on the way to escape......

This is because, at the time of the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the army and navy aviation of the Japanese invaders could mobilize more than 2,000 fighters, and the Japanese invaders had an annual production capacity of more than 1,500 aircraft. However, the Chinese Air Force has only 296 fighters in total, excluding all kinds of faulty and scrapped aircraft, there are only more than 100 fighters that can take off, and China not only does not have the ability to produce aircraft, but even some parts and components are not capable of producing them!

However, China is not easy to bully! Chinese are not easy to deceive! It's never easy to bully!

On 13 August 1937, in the conference room of the Air Force Headquarters Building, General Zhou, the newly appointed former commander-in-chief of the Air Force, made an impassioned statement: "We are about to face the Japanese Air Force, which is several times larger than our own, and perhaps today will be my last meeting with some of you colleagues. However, the ancients said: 'Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat.' "We are going to use the planes to weave a barrier in the air and prevent the Japanese Air Force from crossing the minefield!" ”

On the next day, 14 August, seven planes of the Kisarazu Air Force of the Japanese Navy invaded Hangzhou, and Gao Zhihang, commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Chinese Air Force, led a team to shoot down six of them at Jianqiao Bridge in Hangzhou, and the Chinese Air Force suffered no losses. Shot down six Japanese planes, none of them were damaged by the Chinese Air Force!

The "14 August" air battle was a beginning that shocked the people of the world and was an exciting beginning for the military and people throughout the country, so 14 August was designated as the Air Force Day of the National Revolutionary Army, and for this purpose, the "National Revolutionary Army Air Force Military Song" was also compiled:

Lingyun resists the wind to go, serves the country and stretches his ambitions, travels over Kunlun, overlooks the Pacific Ocean, sees the fortress of Wuyue and Sanjiang Xiongguan, the beautiful splendid rivers and mountains, and reflects the invincible aircraft group.

Remembering the martyrs, don't live up to the hardships of entrepreneurship, and carry forward the glory of our Air Force soldiers!

Comrades, work hard, work hard, be brave and diligent, and the emperor of the country will be honored forever.

Do your best for the Air Force, serve the country and stretch your ambitions, even if you are afraid of wind, frost and rain and dew, you only believe in the almighty hands, watch the iron wings cover the air and the motor roars in unison, the beautiful splendid rivers and mountains, reflecting the invincible aircraft group.

We must make technological inventions new day by day, and we must use blood and sweat to permanently consolidate the soul of China.

Comrades, work hard, work hard, work with one mind, and the emperor of the country will be honored forever.

The divine eagle of the motherland soars in the sky, desperately guarding this sky, this sky that belongs to the Chinese.

On 15 August, the Chinese Air Force shot down a total of 34 Japanese fighters over Cao'e, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and other places.

On 16 August, the Chinese Air Force again shot down eight Japanese fighters in Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Jurong, Yangzhou, and Nanjing.

Japan's Kisarazu Air Force had more than 60 fighters, and in just three days, it lost 48 of them...... A few days later, the commander of the Kisarazu Air Force, Daisa Ishii, committed suicide by caesarean section and apologized to the emperor!

The world was shocked, the people were boiling, and the Japanese were crazy...... The Japanese Air Force Headquarters swears to the heavens and the earth to be ashamed!

Batches of Japanese planes took off and fought desperately with the Chinese Air Force...... The fight of the Condor is like a lightning speed, and life and death are only in an instant.

The results of the Chinese Air Force are constantly expanding, but its own war losses are also constantly expanding, Gao Zhihang, Le Yiqin, Liu Cuigang, Shen Conghai, Yan Haiwen...... One after another, the condors that had frightened their opponents were bathed in blood and fell tragically.

On December 4, 1937, the fall of Nanjing was imminent. In the sky, the last E-16 fighter of the Chinese Air Force, after hovering affectionately over Nanjing for a week, flew lonely westward. On the ground, the pilots and mechanics who lost their fighters watched the lone eagle go west with affection, and then lowered their heads helplessly, escorting the dismantled and broken planes and piles of broken parts, and merging into the rolling tide of westward migration.

The Chinese Air Force was just like that!

Stopping in Wuhan, how can the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee be willing to see such an outcome? Rebuild the Chinese Air Force! The Chinese Air Force must be rebuilt! Immediately! Right away!

In February 1938, the strength of the Chinese Air Force increased by a large margin, with a total of 390 combat aircraft, including 230 destroyers and 160 bombers......

The air battle at Wuhan on 18 February, the air raid on the Japanese army's Songshan airfield on 23 February, the victory of the "Tianchang Festival" on 29 April, and the 1.2 million copies of the "Letter to the Japanese People" were sprinkled on the Japanese mainland on 19 May......

The Chinese Air Force is still brave, Xuzhou, Henan, Wuhan...... Where there is gunsmoke, you can see the soaring Chinese eagle!

However, their fate did not change, and the hard-won number of more than 300 fighters compared to the number of fighters possessed by the Japanese Air Force...... It's still pitiful, and the Chinese Air Force still can't afford it!

Regarding these, Chief He naturally couldn't come with Li Siwei one by one.

He just looked at Li Siwei with anticipation after Staff Officer Zhang finished explaining the specific plan, "Commander Li, now the Japanese fighters are wreaking havoc in the sky over Wuhan...... He hopes that your ministry can live up to the trust! ”

Li Siwei's heart froze, and he suddenly promised, "Yes!" ”

"Hmm!" Chief He patted him on the shoulder again, "You go back and make arrangements!" Someone will pick you up tomorrow! ”

Li Siwei hurriedly walked out of the brigade headquarters, Miao Zhenhua hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Li Siwei's face, he was suddenly shocked, "Regiment commander, what's wrong?" ”

Li Siwei walked all the way with his head down, his face was gloomy, his eyes were slightly frowned, and when he heard the words, he raised his head and glanced at Miao Zhenhua, and smiled reluctantly, "Let's go back first!" ”

After Li Siwei finished speaking, he took a deep breath and looked up to the sky, only to find that the rain had already stopped, and it was already dusk...... Before I knew it, I was talking in it for an afternoon! Staff Officer Zhang's plan is specific enough, but where can the plan catch up with the changes?!

Li Siwei shook his head and strode towards the gate...... Fuck it! Since you can't hide from it...... The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! From Shanghai to Wuhan, what kind of battle did Lao Tzu not break through?

Hurrying back to the 66th Regiment station, Li Siwei hurriedly convened a meeting of the battalion and company commanders.

Everyone came in a hurry, and soon gathered together, all of them could not hide their joy, "Commander, have a task?" ”

At noon, they saw Li Siwei hurriedly go to the brigade headquarters, and he didn't have to do the task...... That's weird!

Li Siwei stood up suddenly, his gaze slowly swept over everyone, and he nodded lightly, his face solemn, "I have a task...... Very difficult task! ”

"I'm afraid of a hammer!" Liao Heiniu smiled, "When have you ever been stumped?" What do you say? Anyway, you say, Lao Tzu does! ”

"Yes," everyone agreed, "Commander, what kind of mission do you say?" Brothers side by side! ”

Li Siwei's heart warmed, but he shook his head with a smile, "This is a raid mission, and it is inconvenient to have too many people......

Before he finished speaking, Sun Dali had already shouted excitedly, "Just leave this matter to the special service company!" Raid, the special service company is engaged in raids! ”

Huang Hua also had a whole expression, and looked at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, "Regiment Commander, leave it to our special service company!" ”

Since it is a raid mission, naturally no one will compete with the special service company, after all, when it comes to raid ability, they think they can't compare to the special service company!

Li Siwei smiled and nodded, "The special service company is naturally going to go, but the number of people is a little small!" ”

Everyone perked up, "That's not easy...... Lao Tzu is a lot of brothers! ”

Li Siwei shook his head slowly, "Recruits can't go, those who are injured can't go, and those who haven't participated in special training can't go......"

The more dangerous the task, the more cautious it is to pick people...... Li Siwei hopes to bring them back alive!

Liao Heiniu smiled and interrupted him, "Cannon, isn't what you Gu'er said about the second battalion?" Lao Tzu eliminated all the recruits and wounded soldiers, and there are still about 300 people, which should be enough! ”

Li Siwei smiled, "What Lao Tzu said is the second battalion!" Pick one out for Lao Tzu, and you will lead the team yourself! ”

"Yes!" Liao Heiniu's spirits lifted and he promised!

Li Siwei looked around at everyone again, his expression was solemn, "During the period when Lao Tzu is away, you are not allowed to be lazy with Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone promised, "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment!" ”

"Good!" Li Siwei waved his hand, "It's all gone!" ”

Everyone dispersed, Li Siwei's heart was relieved, and he sat down...... This is a life-and-death mission, who should be sent? It was a difficult decision! Because, those who go may never come back! However, he is the head of the regiment, and he must make this decision!

On the night after the rain, it was slightly cool, and Li Siwei slowly walked into the station of the medical platoon.

Ning Rou and Wu Ruolan happened to come out with a basin and collided with Li Siwei at the door, both of them were happy, "Leader, why are you here?" ”

"Going to fetch water?" Li Siwei was also stunned, and smiled, "I'm leaving tomorrow, come and see you." ”

Wu Ruolan gave him a blank look, "You're here to see Sister Rou'er, right?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'll come to see Rou'er...... Because, will you follow us? ”

Wu Ruolan was stunned, her face full of joy, "Really? Like in Yang Miaoji......"

As she spoke, her pretty face flushed, and she secretly glanced at Ning Rou, thinking of the night in Yang Miaoji, she couldn't help but feel like a thief.

Ning Rou didn't care what she said, she just looked at Li Siwei gently, "This time, where are you going?" ”

Li Siwei showed a wry smile, "Anqing ......"

Although this is a military secret, he has no reservations about Ning Rou!

Ning Rou trembled, trying to keep smiling, "No matter where you go, I'm waiting for you...... Waiting for you to come back. ”

"Hmm!" Li Siwei looked at her steadily, and nodded heavily, "No matter where I go, I will come back!" Will definitely be back! ”

"Ouch," Wu Ruolan glared at the two of them, took the basin in Ning Rou's hand, turned around and walked out, "I'm leaving, otherwise, I'll be soured to death by you!" ”

Both of them were stunned, and they smiled when they met, "This girl is ......", but the smile on her face can dispel any haze!

"Siwei," Ning Rou walked over gently, took Li Siwei's hand, and looked at him with blazing eyes, "Do you know Chen Huaimin?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned and shook his head suspiciously.

"Siwei," Ning Rou gently leaned into Li Siwei's arms, "I will wait for you, just like Wang Lulu waited for Chen Huaimin......"

Li Siwei's heart was hot, and he hugged Ning Rou tightly...... He didn't know who Chen Huaimin and Wang Lulu were? However, he can feel the love of the person in his arms!

The two paramedics had just walked to the door, and when they saw the scene, they quietly retreated.

It was already late at night when Li Siwei returned to the regiment headquarters, and in the conference room, Lu Yongnian was writing something on his desk.

"Yongnian, haven't you slept yet?" Li Siwei walked over with a smile and asked casually, "Which one is Chen Huaimin?" ”

Lu Yongnian was stunned, "Chen Huaimin...... That's a real hero! ”

"A real hero?" Li Siwei looked dazed, he really hadn't heard of this person!

"Regiment Commander, it's normal for you not to know him," Lu Yongnian nodded suddenly, "There was an air battle in Wuhan on April 29, you should know this, right?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "How can you not know?" At that time, Lao Tzu was still training in Luohe, and you were all clamoring for Lao Tzu to ask for war! ”

Lu Yongnian nodded, "On that day, the little devil's 'Tianchang Festival', in order to celebrate their emperor's birthday, the little devil dispatched fifty-four planes to attack Wuhan...... Our air force fought back heroically, and in just one and a half hours, it shot down 21 planes of the little devils, and this is the great victory of the 'Tianchang Festival'! ”

Li Siwei was taken aback, "Our air force is so powerful!" ”

Lu Yongnian nodded heavily, "Our air force is already powerful!" ”

Li Siwei sighed secretly, but unfortunately, we can't even build an airplane! No matter how good the pilot is, what can he do without fighters?

"Chen Huaimin died in that battle," Lu Yongnian sighed softly, "In that battle, he was wounded and participated in the battle, and after shooting down an enemy plane, he was besieged by five enemy planes, and the fuel tank of his fighter caught fire...... What a hero! ”

As he spoke, he rummaged through the pile of documents for a while, found a newspaper and handed it to Li Siwei.

Li Siwei gently took the newspaper and looked at it, and the front page was a big headline -- Chen Huaimin's "Meat Bullet" Attack on the Enemy, and the subtitle was "The Most Tense Scene in April 29......

"On 29 April, the 2nd Air Force of the Enemy Naval Aviation Regiment Sasebo made an 'expedition' to Wuhan on the day of the frenzied celebration of the 'Tianchang Festival' in the enemy country......

Li Siwei read it in one breath, and his blood was boiling...... For a long time, he only saw the Japanese fighters bombing indiscriminately on the position, but he didn't know that the Chinese Air Force was also fighting in the long air, and with their not strong strength, they swore to defend the motherland's airspace to the death......

This time, it must be successful! At this moment, his mind was as strong as iron!

"Alas," Lu Yongnian sighed again, "he also has a lover, and when he heard about his sacrifice, he immediately rushed to Wuhan...... Wearing the cheongsam he bought, he jumped into the Yangtze River ......"

Lu Yongnian's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Li Siwei shake violently, "She...... Her name is Wang Lulu? ”

Lu Yongnian was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head in a daze, he finally understood Ning Rou's words...... She will wait for herself...... Come back on her own, or, let her go!
