Yang Xunzhen took out a copy of the "Central Daily" and read it, this newspaper was two months ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A newspaper newsletter caught her eye:
"On the morning of February 18, 1938, Japan dispatched 12 heavy bombers and 26 Mitsubishi 96-1 fighters to meet at the intersection of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces and flew straight to Wuhan.
After receiving the order, the 4th Brigade of our Air Force was ordered to meet the enemy.
Acting Group Leader Li Guidan led 29 fighters into the air, and soon after they encountered enemy planes, Li Guidan ordered the 4th Brigade to meet the enemy separately, with the 22nd and 23rd squadrons as the main attackers and the 21st squadron as cover.
In the air battle, the 21st Squadron's four planes, Dong Mingde, Yang Arcfan, Liu Zhesheng, and Liu Zongwu, opened the record in a coordinated operation and shot down a Japanese fighter.
After working with his comrades to shoot down an enemy plane, Liu Zhesheng fought alone and shot down another enemy plane, and the other warhawks in the squadron shot down three more enemy planes.
At the same time, 11 fighters of the 22nd Squadron met with 11 Japanese fighters and were bitten by the enemy, but they did not panic, but took advantage of the good maneuverability of the aircraft to deal with the enemy.
After one or two rounds, a single-plane melee situation was formed, with squadron leader Liu Zhihan shooting down an enemy plane first, and other comrades-in-arms also shooting down a total of four enemy planes.
When the 8 fighters of the 23rd Squadron flew over Hankow, they saw that the 22nd Squadron was at a disadvantage, and the squadron leader immediately ordered all the reinforcements of the 23rd Squadron, and after a scuffle, shot down 2 enemy planes.
This large-scale air battle of group-to-plane lasted only 12 minutes, and our air force shot down 12 Japanese planes, including 10 fighters and 2 bombers, and this was also a very glorious page in the history of China's air warfare.
However, in this air battle, our air force also paid a very high price, including group leader Li Guidan, squadron leader Lu Jichun, and pilots Ba Qingzheng, Wang Yi, and Li Pengxiang, a total of five people, who died heroically.
In this air battle, the 21st Flying Squadron, which was responsible for covering, first encountered 10 enemy planes northwest of Hankou Airport, and immediately entered the battle, entering an altitude of about 4,000 meters, and then the 22nd and 23rd Flying Squadrons also launched a fierce air battle with the enemy over Wuhan.
It was a large-scale standoff between planes and planes, and dozens of planes from both sides fought fiercely over the three towns of Wuhan, ranging from 5,000 meters to hundreds of meters, flying up and down, fighting each other, and the scene was spectacular.
The fierce battle lasted about 12 minutes, and our troops won a complete victory at the cost of shooting down 11 enemy planes and losing only 5 of our air force.
Ryuji Kaneko, commander of the Japanese air raid formation, was killed in a bomb crash, but five of our squadron leaders, including Captain Li Guidan, flight squadron leader Captain Lu Ki-chun, and pilots Second Lieutenant Ba Qingzheng, Second Lieutenant Wang Yi, and Lieutenant Li Pengxiang, all gave their lives for the glory of the country.
Pilot Zhang Guangming's plane was hit in 29 places and he was seriously injured, but he still stubbornly insisted on driving the plane back to the airport.
In this air battle, the enemy planes shot down by our army fell to the following places:
One enemy plane crashed near Hankow, one enemy plane crashed between Hankow and Qingshan, and one enemy plane crashed between Huangpi and Hankow......
Among them, most of the parts of the enemy plane that crashed between Hankou and Qingshan were well preserved, and after the Japanese pilot parachuted, he was captured by our Wuhan city defense troops. ā
The last paragraph of this newsletter attracted Yang Xunzhen's attention, she was excited, and went to find Feng Chen with the newspaper, and from this newsletter, she suddenly found a way to find the secret key of the Japanese army's communication.
ā¦ā¦
Just when Yang Xunzhen discovered the way to find the communication key of the Japanese army from an outdated newspaper two months ago, Ding Mochun invited Wang Manyun to meet at No. 67 Daxi Road.
The news of Ding Mocun's hookup with Li Shiqun, of course, Wang Manyun knew it for the first time.
Previously, Wang Manyun hadn't been to No. 67 Daxi Road of Li Shiqun for a while, why? Isn't that because Yu Songqiao wanted to assassinate Li Shiqun?
Li Shiqun bragged that his No. 67 Daxi Road has good feng shui and is the safest and safest house, which is actually.
said that the house has good feng shui and safety insurance, which can be compared to Lu Bohong's mansion on Luban Road? Can it be compared to the feng shui of Yongda Grain on the Catholic road?
Lu Bohong, Gu Xinyi, wasn't they still killed by the people of the military commander? !
Of course, in the end, Yu Songqiao gave up the idea of assassinating Li Shiqun, but who can guarantee that you, Li Shiqun, will not provoke the fatal Tai Sui of that class of military commanders one day?
Although Wang Manyun and Li Shiqun have been in contact with each other several times at this time, they are not the same thing as Li Shiqun, at least, Wang Manyun has never directly hooked up with the Japanese.
At this time, he Wang Manyun is still a member of the party-state.
However, this Ding Mo Estate is also an acquaintance, whether or not Chen Lifu was directly sent to Shanghai to assist him in his work, Wang Manyun felt that it was appropriate to meet Ding Mo Estate in a polite manner.
Wang Manyun and Zhang Zhengfan came to No. 67.
As soon as they stepped into the room, they were surprised to see that on the wall in the middle of the house, there were two national flags with blue sky and white sun and red sky, and among the flags, there was also a portrait of Sun Yat-sen.
Since the fall of Shanghai, especially in private homes, this kind of scene is difficult to see.
In the midst of the surprise, Ding Mo Estate had already paced into the room, everyone was originally acquaintances, and as soon as they met, they happily greeted each other, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
Ding Mochun pointed to the national flag hanging on the wall and the portrait of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and said to Wang Manyun and Zhang Zhengfan: "Everyone has not seen these for a long time, right? ā
Then Ding Mo Estate came to a tirade of fallacies and heresies:
"I, Ding Mo Estate, came here this time on the orders of Minister Chen Lifu, because in the rear, everyone saw that the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was going on like this, and it was not a way for the Communist Party to resist the defeat of the Kuomintang in the end, and it was for fear that China would not be chaotic.
For the sake of the country's future, Minister Chen Lifu asked me to come to Shanghai to explore the way, and he will come as soon as the time is ripe, but when the time is not ripe, we should keep it secret on behalf of Minister Lifu.
As for the Japanese, I have negotiated with them and allowed us to continue to use the blue sky and the red flag on the ground, and we can still hang the portrait of Mr. Nakayama. ā
The Japanese that Ding Mochun is talking about are the sunny Qingyin arranged by Kagesa Zhenzhao.
The Japanese not only instructed them to hang the red flag in the blue sky and the white sun, but also instructed them to expand the mountain in the name of advocating a peace movement.
Ding Mocun's so-called confession of "coming to Shanghai on the orders of Chen Lifu to fight the front station" was actually looking for an excuse for himself to act as a lackey of the Japanese.
When he was at the end of his rope, he was attracted by Li Shiqun and sold himself to the Japanese, which had nothing to do with Chen Lifu, but Zhang Zhengfan and Wang Manyun believed it.
Because before, in the eyes of outsiders, Ding Mocun was Chen Lifu's confidant, Chen Lifu especially trusted and reused him, and even Chen Lifu's cousin, Chen Baohua, the mayor of Zhongtong Shanghai, thought so.
In fact, Ding Mo Estate is a fox and a fake tiger!
Seeing that Wang Manyun believed his words, Ding Mochun asked Wang Manyun with a smile as he spoke: "What is the opinion of the brother?" ā
"Brother Mo Chuen, this is a big deal, but I don't think it's enough to call on you Ding Mo Chuen." Wang Manyun said meaningfully.
"Oh? Dude, let's talk about it. Ding Mocun looked at Wang Manyun with a sincere look of asking for advice.
"Brother, due to the limitations of your past working environment and conditions, your name, not to mention people outside the party don't know, even if it's people in our party, if it's not the backbone of the CC faction, few people know, this matter is not a big deal for you, but ...... in terms of appeal?"
Wang Manyun said half a sentence and half a sentence, obviously doubting the appeal of Ding Mo Estate.
"Dude, just say it directly, I understand what you mean, are you saying that my appeal in Ding Mo Estate is not enough?" Ding Mochun asked.
"Yes, in order to achieve rapid success in the cause, I think you should quickly connect with the relationship between the party bigwigs, such as Wang Jingwei, if you can adopt my opinion, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Wang Manyun seemed to underestimate Ding Mo Chuen a little, but Ding Mo Chuen didn't care, but nodded his head in agreement.
"I also feel the same way about this, Mr. Wang Jingwei, I can send someone to contact."
"I wonder how many you have now?" Wang Manyun asked again.
"There are not many people, and the initiators are even seven of them, in addition to me and Brother Zhengfan, there are Li Shiqun, Tang Huimin, Mao Ziming, Jian Jianwu, and Ye Yaoxian."
These seven people were later known as the "Committee of Seven".
