No one saw it, and the somewhat lonely Liu Lang raised his eyes to look at the sky, and his eyes were quietly full of tears.

There, there are not only his expectations, but also full of sadness and regret.

He regretted that, because of his busy military schedule, he was unable to see with his own eyes the young people who had written an incomparably brilliant page in the Chinese sky. If he misses those days, he will not be able to see him in the past and this life.

He grieved that they were eternally young, because their young life was frozen in August of the 37th year.

Before coming to this era, Liu Lang watched a movie with the theme of "Huaqing University" changing in a hundred years. Liu Lang is an iron-blooded soldier who can bleed but can easily not shed tears, but that day, Liu Lang, who was sitting alone in the movie theater, watched the mother of "Shen Guangyao" open her son's relics, and said lightly in his notebook: "Mom, I'm sorry!" ”

In an instant, tears welled up.

He sacrificed his life and his future, but when he was about to go to war, he just wanted to say to his mother: I'm sorry! It's not that he doesn't love life, it's not that he doesn't hope for the future. However, the country and the nation need him.

Only, I'm sorry. Mom!

Moreover, Liu Lang also knew that Shen Guangyao was not a fictitious character. His prototype Shen Chonghai, his father Shen Jiayi was a famous jurist at that time, and he was a proper "second generation official" in the future, with a golden key.

On 19 August, Shen Chonghai's plane, which was carrying out the bombing mission of a Japanese warship on the Huangpu River, broke down, leaving him with only one choice, to abandon the plane and parachute to escape. However, this 25-year-old young man chose another path that 99 percent of people would not choose.

Diveing down from an altitude of 2,000 meters, he dived in the face of the Japanese warship that was firing frantically at him, using the body as a bomb and flesh as medicine. Under the silent gaze of thousands of people on the shore, it turned into the most brilliant fireworks in the blue sky at a distance of 100 meters from the Japanese ship.

Although the Japanese ship was not damaged, this move moved the heavens and the earth. Perhaps, at that moment, the people who witnessed this feat firmly believed that China would never die.

Before him, his teammate Yan Haiwen, a 21-year-old handsome young man from the Northeast who had set a perfect score in the history of Miqiao Aviation School, was hit by enemy anti-aircraft guns when he returned from completing a bombing mission, and parachuted into the Japanese position due to a change in wind direction. When the Japanese army surrounded him, he would rather die than surrender, counterattacked with a portable pistol, killed five Japanese soldiers, shouted "China's air force has no prisoners", and used the last bullet to kill himself.

"China, no captured air force!" This is not the first time that the Chinese Air Force has shouted like this.

The stone monument in front of the gate of the Central Aviation School at Hangzhou Miqiao Airport has such a school motto: Our bodies, planes and bombs, the enemy warships and positions of the party and the enemy will be wiped out!

I believe that there is no second school in the world that will adopt such a text as its motto. Not at West Point, not at Frunze Military Academy, not at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, not at the Bundeswehr Command Academy of the Third Reich.

Even Yan Haiwen, who was as ferocious as a Japanese criminal, faced Yan Haiwen who left the last bullet for himself, was extremely shocked, and for the first time erected a monument for a soldier of an enemy country, which read: The Tomb of the Warriors of the China Air Force. General Yoshikawa Shirakawa, commander of the Japanese Army's Shanghai Dispatch Army, lamented: "In the Russo-Japanese War in the past, where was the spirit of the Yamato nation brave and not afraid of death? It has been taken away by Shen Chonghai and Yan Haiwen in China! ”

Although there are not many left, the Chinese Air Force is still the group of people who radiate the brightest light of that era.

The battle of Niangzi Pass, how can it be without their participation?

Liu Lang's biggest hole card is them. was forced to withdraw from the Songhu battlefield and was forced to hand over the sky of the motherland to the eagles of the Japanese invaders.

They may have wings, but they can still fly high.

As early as the beginning of October, before the Battle of Niangziguan began, Liu Lang had already contacted the "Aviation Volunteers" who were forced to retreat to Nanjing through Situ Meitang in Chongqing, and in early October, he needed at least ten planes to come to the sky over Qiqian Village to beat the Japanese 96 bombers that were about to overwhelm the sky into turkeys.

Zhou Dapeng called and said that he would arrive at the battlefield on time.

However, even Liu Lang himself is not sure about this hole card.

If you want to mobilize aviation units from the southeast battlefield to support the battle of Shanxi, first of all, it is extremely difficult from a geographical point of view.

From Nanjing, which is located in the southeast, to Pingding, which is located in the east of Shanxi, Shanxi, the distance in a straight line is more than 1,000 kilometers, and that is already the limit of the range of the primary version of the "Thunderbolt" fighter with a combat radius of only 600 kilometers. Moreover, Shanxi, there is no suitable airport for their transfer.

More importantly, the "Aviation Volunteers," which have handed over command to the command of the national air force, are not grass-headed troops, and they can go wherever they want. Every operation requires the approval of the Air Force Command, and without the warrant of the Air Force Commander, the "Aviation Volunteers" would not want to have a plane go to the sky, let alone go to the battlefield 2,000 miles away.

Fortunately, there was an old man named Situ Meitang, who had donated more than 8 million US dollars to the government, and under his coordination, Zhou Dapeng and 15 fighters received a military order to transfer from Xi'an back to Sichuan on the grounds that the aircraft engines were overloaded in January and needed to be transferred back to Sichuan to replace the engines.

The plane can go to the sky, but it does not mean that it can fly to Taihang Mountain to participate in the battle. Generally, as long as there is no combat mission, a large amount of ammunition will not be allowed to be carried during the safety period. Without ammunition, even if you fly over Taihang Mountain and use it as a target for the Japanese army?

So, it was the turn of the Chinese Business Group to come out. More than ten small yellow croakers were sent, but the Xi'an Airport replied to the national air force command that it refused to accept the transfer of fifteen planes. The reason is very simple: during the war, there was a shortage of fuel, and Xi'an Airport was no longer able to provide aviation kerosene for 15 fighters to fly 800 kilometers.

The refusal of reasons made the Air Force command helpless. This point, not to mention that it can't be checked, even if it can be checked, at this moment when the whole country is transfused for the Songhu battlefield, as long as it is not a big corruption, the rest can be endured.

In addition to Xi'an, it can only be another important town Jiangcheng Wuhan, but Wuhan is already a heavy army gathering to Songhu at this time, the airport is really busy, and 15 fighters will transfer to the field, isn't that chaos?

On the side of Sichuan, except for Hubei and Shaanxi provinces, there is no suitable place. While scratching his head, someone wasted no time in proposing that the Yan'an airfield, which owned the Yantian oil field, could also provide enough aviation kerosene.

Commander-in-Chief Zhou, who was in distress, immediately sent a telegram to the Red Central Committee to request that the 15 fighters of the "Aviation Volunteers" be transferred to Sichuan and that the aviation kerosene used in the 15 fighters be provided.

The reason why this person listened to the wind was that the rain had settled Yan'an, not that the fifteen fighters could be transferred smoothly, but that the red troops with the oil fields had already made the government drool. Although the output of the small oil field in Sichuan is seven or eight times that of the smaller oil field in Yantian, the government also has a lot of belongings! Not to mention the country's cars, even hundreds of airplanes, the supply is stretched.

And in the red control area, not to mention the, even the cars are rare, mostly horse-drawn carts and ox carts. The oil field, for them, is to sell oil to make money. Since the 36-year incident in which the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated again, two companies from the United States and the United Kingdom have settled in northern Shaanxi, and if nothing else, they are responsible for oil refining. Seeing that the ocean of the national capital has turned into the military expenditure of the red party, the national government does not know how many people are heartbroken.

Fifteen fighters, how to say it, are also several tons of aviation kerosene! In the name of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party uniting to resist Japan, he can pit Yan'an, but Commander-in-Chief Zhou has to report to the bald principal.

As for whether Yan'an will take the opportunity to secretize the 15 fighters, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Air Force is not worried at all. As long as the top brass of the Red Party is not bad-headed, they will not do this, especially at this moment of the all-people war of resistance.

Sure enough, the Red Party members immediately rejected the request of Comrade Lao Zhou, a pit man. Aviation kerosene is a lot of silver, what about us fools? And provide an airport and supplies?

At the moment, Comrade Lao Zhou was painstakingly trying to put all kinds of big hats of national righteousness on the heads of the Red Party members, and finally promised to obtain more funds for the 18th Group Army, so that the top leadership of the Red Party reluctantly agreed to the request that 15 fighters be transferred from Yan'an to Sichuan.

Comrade Lao Zhou was extremely satisfied with his eloquence, as for the so-called more funds, he was just talking, those money, no old man nodded, who would dare to give more? If you can give it, it's good.

He didn't see that the leader of the Red Party sitting at the desk was also laughing, and opposite him, sat the general manager of the Huashang Group. What he brought to the control area in northern Shaanxi was a well-written list, in addition to some weapons and ammunition, more daily supplies, which were also urgently needed in northern Shaanxi.

And what they paid was just a few tons of aviation kerosene, and they definitely made a lot of money.

As for the various types of ammunition needed by the "Aviation Volunteers," Liu Lang's telegram was sent from Sichuan to northern Shaanxi in early October, and 10 days was enough.

Liu Lang has already set up Yan'an. Only there, Zhou Dapeng's fleet can smoothly reach the Taihang Mountain. Although the range of 630 kilometers was already close to the limit of the combat radius of 600 kilometers, after calculation, Zhou Dapeng believed that as long as the weapon load was reduced to a certain extent, the auxiliary fuel tanks were hung up, and the combat time was maintained at 10 minutes, he would be able to successfully complete this combat mission.

Liu Lang agreed. As long as nothing else, the "35 version of the Thunderbolt" completed by him and experts from the United States and Britain and equipped with the Rolls-Royce engine, which was several years ahead of the Japanese invaders, can definitely beat the Type 96 of the little devils.

Now, Zhou Dapeng and his comrades-in-arms have landed at the slightly humble airport in Yan'an with their fighter planes!

Liu Lang withdrew his gaze to the sky and looked at the future general who was refuting his battle plan, solemnly raised his hand and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "In the name of the people, I, Liu Lang, Colonel of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, ask Chief Chen to approve this battle plan for Qiqian Village. ”

"Commander Liu, you are a real soldier." The future general sighed slightly, raised his hand and saluted: "Quasi!" ”

Looking at the brigade commander of the major general and the colonel, the officers of the two armies all stood solemnly.

The autumn wind blows slowly through the Taihang Mountains, and the leaves fall silently, but they are full of slaughter.
