The Soviets arrived much earlier than Han Yunhua expected, because both sides thought that the little devils would definitely send their own air force units to intercept the Soviet air force to aid China, so every fighter plane took off from Ulaanbaatar with full fuel and bombs, and even the staffing was extremely complete in order to deal with possible situations. However, the journey went unexpectedly smoothly, and it was said that the Japanese air force did not appear, and even the Japanese reconnaissance planes that could often be encountered did not appear.

The Soviets arrived at Guisui on the morning of 28 May, and Han Yunhua arrived at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

The entire Inner Mongolia Military Region attached great importance to the arrival of the Soviet aid air force, and Tan Zhenlin even asked Han Yunhua to open his wine cellar, and a large amount of fine wine was carried out.

This time, the supreme commander of the Soviet Air Force aiding China is called Bayanruv, who is the deputy commander of the 24th Aviation Division of the Soviet Union, with the rank of major general. At the first glance of Han Yunhua, Major General Bayanruv gave Han Yunhua a very standard military salute, and called him Comrade General as soon as he opened his mouth.

It was learned from the air of Major General Bayanruv that this time they brought a total of 100 Lag-5 fighters and 50 Il-16 fighters, as well as 50 bombers and 3 reconnaissance planes. This time, a total of 540 air forces were sent to aid China, which was the largest number of troops sent by the Soviet Union to aid China.

He knows that the current situation in the Soviet Union is not better than that of China, although the overall strength of the Soviet Union is that China cannot catch up, but Han Yunhua also knows that the enemy faced by the Soviets is also unprecedentedly strong, and the invincible Japanese in the eyes of the Chinese may be a second-rate country in the eyes of the Soviets, and they are not at all comparable to half of the threat of Germany to the Soviet Union. So now the Soviets don't have that heart to enjoy at all, and although China's food and wine are endlessly evocative, almost all of the Soviet air forces aiding China show a lack of interest.

On the morning of 29 May, Shangguan Qingyun, who received a telegram from Han Yunhua, arrived at Guisui Airport with only 26 fighters from the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

From Han Yunhua's mouth, Major General Bayanruf learned that a group of American planes would soon arrive here, along with some American instructors. Just as the Americans did not want to see the Soviets, the Soviets did not want to see American GIs who were full of western cowboy rebelliousness, and Bayanruv even proposed to change the training grounds. Han Yunhua smiled and did not agree, between the Soviets and the Americans, Han Yunhua did not obviously rely too much on one side. In doing so, he told Stalin and Roosevelt that he, Han Yunhua, and the entire Chinese Communist Party, did not have to rely on you, the United States or the Soviet Union, and that there were many people who were willing to support us.

In addition, Han Yunhua also hopes to form a state of competition between the Soviets and the Americans, which is manifested in fighter planes on the one hand, and teaching on the other. When the Soviets taught students shot down three enemy planes over China, then the American instructors had to do everything possible to devise effective tactics to shoot down more Japanese planes, so that the Chinese Air Force could become combat effectiveness in a short period of time. …,

At 3 p.m., after defeating the interception of the Japanese North China Front Air Force, the US Air Force successfully arrived at Guisui, and all the air units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were now in order.

June 6, 1942 was a memorable day for the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the Communist Party as a whole, because today the CCP had its own aviation unit, and after Han Yunhua reported to the Party Central Committee for approval, the Northern Air Force of China was established under the battle sequence of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Unlike the Chinese Air Force of the Nationalist Government in the south, the Northern Air Force of China established by Han Yunhua's department did not report to the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government at all, and anyway, Han Yunhua also knew that the Nationalist Government would not agree to such a troop establishment. Moreover, the Nationalist Government was very dissatisfied with the US government's one-time support for 200 P40 fighters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and its envious and jealous eyes were overflowing, and it wanted to detain these fighters at Kunming Airport many times, but because Roosevelt's attitude was resolute, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to give up.

The newly established Northern Air Force of China has two air divisions, 454 fighters of various types, eight airfields, and a total of 48,600 pilots serving the air force on the ground. Han Yunhua is also the commander-in-chief of China's Northern Air Force, the political commissar is to be received by the central government, the chief of staff is nominated by Han Yunhua to be Bayanruf, and the director of air intelligence is Ma Qingyun, Qian Zhuangfei's right-hand man.

In addition, the establishment of the newly established Northern Air Force is also different from that of the aviation regiments in the world, except for the division and brigade level, the rest are composed of aviation brigades, squadrons, and fighter groups. Each aviation division has two aviation brigades under it. Each brigade has three aviation squadrons, each aviation squadron has three aviation squadrons under its jurisdiction, each aviation squadron has three fighter groups, and each fighter group is composed of four fighters; and so on, the entire aviation division needs 216 fighters, and in addition to dozens of training planes, the Inner Mongolia Military Region can set up two aviation divisions.

There is no doubt that the commander and political commissar of the First Aviation Division was Shangguan Qingyun. However, Han Yunhua and the entire high-ranking officials of the Inner Mongolia Military Region muttered that there are only a few people in China who understand the Air Force, and they are all on the side of the Nationalist Government. On the CCP side, only Shangguan Qingyun really understands the Air Force, and all the high-level officials, including Han Yunhua, don't know anything about it, so the division commander and political commissar of the Second Air Division are temporarily vacant, and Shangguan Qingyun is temporarily in charge of the overall situation.

After careful consideration by the central authorities, Comrade Xiaoping was appointed chief political commissar of the air force unit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region to assist Han Yunhua in commanding the overall situation of the air force.

Although the Northern Air Force is under the name of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, as long as the head is not stupid, it can be seen that in fact, the entire Northern Air Force is directly controlled by the central government. More than 400 fighters, this number is much more powerful than the current Nationalist Government Air Force, although after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Chinese Air Force, which has a short history, miraculously resurrected from the dead, giving the little devil a heavy blow. But for the time being, the air force of the Nationalist Government has only a pitiful 250 fighters, which is far worse than that of the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

However, the availability of fighter planes does not mean that the air force can fight, that is impossible, although the eight airfields of the Inner Mongolia Military Region have finally been completed under the overtime work of the large army, but almost all the oil depots are empty, and all the ammunition depots are basically nothing except for the poor airborne machine gun ammunition is barely enough, and even the aerial bombs are only a few hundred, which were brought by the Soviets when they came, that is to say, each fighter plane does not get a single aerial bomb on average. Such an air force is more than a stumbling force. …,

Therefore, Han Yunhua was busy contacting the Nationalist Government and the Soviet Union everywhere, and first solved the fuel supply, let alone 400 planes, even if there were 4,000 planes, they could only be placed at the airport and waited for the little devils to bomb them.

First of all, the Nationalist Government simply cut off the supply of aviation fuel to the Chinese Communists, and the reason given was that the Northern Air Force had not filed with the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Nationalist Government did not recognize the number and establishment of the Chinese Air Force, and of course it would not give any support to this Air Force.

The Nationalist government's attitude made the CCP extremely angry, but there was nothing they could do, and finally forced Vice Chairman Zhou to go south to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek's wife, the de facto controller of the Chinese Air Force. Ms. Soong Meiling is still a relatively enlightened and quite cultivated lady, and after understanding what Vice Chairman Zhou meant, she specially consulted Lao Jiang and strongly advised Lao Jiang to support the Communist Party, of course, the Communist Party cannot pay no price at all.

Finally, with Chiang Kai-shek's approval, the Nationalist Government set its own conditions. The Nationalist Government could recognize China's Northern Air Force in a high-profile manner and include it in the Air Force General Reserve of the Ministry of Military Affairs. In addition, the Nationalist Government will provide this aviation unit with sufficient fuel, bombs, and everything necessary for the war, and even the pilots' food and military salaries. However, correspondingly, this aviation unit under the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs must be dispatched by the Nationalist Government when necessary.

The Nationalist Government knows its own air force very well, and you must know that only 3 bombers of the Chinese Air Force can still go to the sky in the most difficult time. Even with the assistance of the U.S. government, it did not restore its combat effectiveness, and it was still unable to cope with the blows of the Chinese dispatch troops from Southeast Asia and Nanjing. Therefore, both Chiang Kai-shek himself and the US government hoped that the air force established by the Chinese communists could support the Nationalist government in combat when necessary, or simply directly dispatch this air force for strategic deployment.
