Chapter Ninety-Two: The Eagle Spreads Its Wings I

The northeast in March is still covered in silver and snow. The southern Yuemin is already full of spring, with lush bamboo and grass. It makes people feel the size of the motherland. The 1st Mixed Division of the Zhikong D1st Army from the northeast to the south has all arrived at the Shantou airfields in Guangdong and Guanzhishan in Fujian, which were built ahead of schedule.

A week later, on March 17, the first batch of 10 LST1 amphibious tank landing ships and five 10,000-ton cargo ships arrived in Humen, where they were handed over to the Guangdong Jiangfang Brigade of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. The navy formed three naval landing craft brigades with the former Kuomintang insurgents as the technical backbone and the commanders and fighters of the 12th Corps as the political basis. Five 10,000-ton cargo ships also sailed into the Huangpu Shipyard in Guangzhou to be refitted with the 1st Mixed Division to go south to the base 'Ordnance Group'.

After completing the transfer, the front command of the Yuemin Air Force made careful arrangements for the next combat operation. Wang Kunpeng, commander-in-chief, called on all units to proceed from the most difficult and complicated situation and make specific operational preparations. The command organ of the Yuemin Air Force must have a close grasp of the air situation. Conscientiously study the anti-bombing and anti-reconnaissance combat plans. Protect the ships and the training of fraternal troops. Make sure nothing goes wrong. The whole division was immediately put into combat readiness and training.

On April 5, along the eastern coast of Guangdong, a cloud of cotton-like white clouds slowly poured from the sea to the coastal continent, and the sky was cloudy and cloudy.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Colonel Sha Qiu, deputy commander of the 5th Wing of the Kuomintang Air Force, led six F-84 planes and six B29 bomber planes to take off from Taiwan's Kaohsiung Airport. Lifting China's threat to Taiwan.

On March 15, agents of the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau in Hong Kong discovered that in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, the British Royal Navy's naval base in Central, ten LST1 amphibious tank landing ships were moored. This information immediately attracted the attention of the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau. Report immediately to the Taiwan authorities. It was later discovered that the ten LST1 amphibious tank landing ships and five 10,000-ton cargo ships sailed into the waters of the Pearl River Estuary. Since it was a British ship, they did not dare to act rashly. It was then discovered that ten more LST1 amphibious tank landing ships had sailed into this water. For a while, they could not understand why so many British landing ships had entered this water. Could it be that the British sold it to the mainland? Not really. It's right to say that if the mainland wants to buy it, it should also buy it from the Soviet Union. Later, the undercover agent of the military intelligence agency in the Humen area reported that the ships were indeed sold to the mainland by the British. Now the mainland navy has taken over all of these landing ships.

At this time, the Taiwanese authorities hurriedly went to the British consulate in Tamsui, Taiwan to verify the situation. The British consul has long since returned home. Only one of the third secretaries shrugged his shoulders at them, said 'no comment', and went to the person who had gone to verify the situation and left. It was only after seeing the joint communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level between China and Britain that the Taiwan authorities suddenly came to their senses. The angry Chiang Kai-shek almost didn't turn his back on it.' Niang Xipi, this Englishman is not a thing,' he scolded in his heart, "I didn't do that!" These usually noble Englishmen are not even as good as the little hooligans on the beach. If you establish diplomatic relations, you will establish diplomatic relations, but you can't give [***] large landing ships and let them fight us. Mother Xipi, it's really not a thing compared to the Americans.' He hurriedly found Zhou Zhirou, chief of staff and commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and Wang Shuming, deputy commander of the Air Force: "You guys will blow up these ships for me immediately.''" President, do you want to ask the US [***] advisory group first," Zhou Zhirou said cautiously: "They don't repeatedly tell us to use planes, but in advance" Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Zhou Zhirou's later words and saying: "Ignore the Americans, they don't let us attack the mainland completely to curry favor with the [***] regime, and to make a deal with us. We don't want to do that stupid thing anymore, let people sell and help people count money. We must not forget our historical mission, our task is not only to passively defend this small island, but to more actively counterattack the mainland' In order to implement the spirit of the president's instructions, Wang Shuming, deputy commander of the Air Force, personally took charge of this operation.' The old man is right, if these large landing ships of [***] are not blown up, the Great Wall of the Sea will not be called the Great Wall of the Sea, Taiwan will have no danger to defend, and our heads will fall to the ground.' He personally ran to the Kaohsiung Airport in Taiwan and commanded the operation. It also specifically approved the operation by using six new F-84 fighters and six B29 bombers from the United States.

This morning, on patrol and alert duty in the air, Wang Wei, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Mixed Division, and his old partner Zhang Tianfang, led the 1st Squadron of the MiG-15 piloted by four new trainees. They are patrolling and flying along the coastline of Guangdong from southwest to northeast. They patrol and do all kinds of tactical training. The front-line command of the Yuemin Air Force decided that the patrol and vigilance tasks are often carried out by using the old with the new, and the aircraft is also modified with the J-10 or J-7 Flying Leopard with the MiG-15. Because of the airborne pulse-Doppler fire control radar, the J-10 and J-7 have a search range of 150 kilometers, and they have strong detection and attack capabilities for moving targets. It can be used as an AWACS aircraft and command aircraft for air patrols. This is an absolute advantage for this era, which means that the battlefield is unilateral and transparent.

When Wang Wei led this air patrol team to fly to the airspace of Shanwei, Wang Wei found that on the multi-functional monochrome liquid crystal display of his landline, two formations of 12 light points were intermittently appearing, flying from the opposite side, and he immediately reported the situation to the front command of the Yuemin Air Force, and informed the air patrol squadron he led to reorganize and prepare for battle.

Wang Jiang and Liu Hai piloted the MiG-15 modified with the number T107 and T108 respectively, both of them were flight cadets of the first branch of the Fourth Aviation School, and because of their outstanding performance in the aviation school, they were selected to go south to the first mixed division this time. In order to train qualified jet fighter pilots as soon as possible, the 1st Mixed Division adopted a one-to-two contract training with the old and the new. The method of taking two new trainees for each driver who travels to this era. So they became the apprentices of Wang Wei, the commander of the first flying regiment. After receiving the order, the two of them were very excited at this time. This is a real battle of swords and guns. However, there is a master in the back who is his own wingman to cover them. It reassures them a lot. The master's methods and deeds, they had heard about it when they were in aviation school. Through this transition and these days of training, I have witnessed the demeanor of the master. So that they benefit a lot. They immediately re-formed and rushed to the front according to the instructions of the master. Take advantage of the attack position.

This time, Taiwan has purchased 20 F-84 single-seat jet "Thunderbolt" fighter-bombers and 20 B29 bombers from the United States. The United States also agreed to sell it to them in order to compensate for its 'guilt' of abandoning Taiwan.

The pilots of the 12 planes led by Dune are all veteran pilots who have participated in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and have flown more than 1,000 hours. They have flown over the Hump Death Route, and have all studied in the United States for more than a year. They had also heard about the recent arrival of several [***] planes, but they never took the [***] Air Force that had only flown for more than a dozen hours. I despise it very much, 'Damn, they're also called the Air Force!' It's good not to fall off yourself. If it weren't for the obstruction of the US military advisers, the mainland's airfield would have been bombed to the ground.' Every time they train for a flight, they go around the mainland. Flying in the skyline of the continent, I saw the fishing boats rushing to the shore, and the pedestrians ran desperately. They quickly lowered their noses and fired, or dropped a few bombs, and waited for the smoke and flames to rise, pulling up the planes and flying away. How pleasant it was, right as an air trip and a joyful game. They also took part in the bombing of ships at sea. It was a rebellion against the defection of the 'party-state', and they had followed the heavy cruiser 'Yucheng', the largest tonnage of the [***] that had declared the uprising in Shanghai, to Huludao in the Bohai Bay and sank him. They have also chased the 'Changzhou' and 'Changsha' in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to take refuge in [***]. The destroyer was sunk. This time I went to bomb the 20 landing ships that Britain sold to [***], and they really didn't take it as a big deal.LST1 amphibious tank landing ship only has two 40mm small guns on it, which is much easier than bombing those cruisers and destroyers, as long as you bring enough ammunition, it's OK. So they carried 24 rockets or 4 454-kilogram bombs under each F-84 wing, and even more so 6 B29s, carrying 9 tons of ordinary bombs and incendiary bombs.

They never expected them to be comfortable. At this time, in front of them, the rookies of the [***] Air Force, who they fully despised, had set up a death trap for them.

Wang Wei and Zhang Tianfang were each responsible for protecting and directing two MiG-15 modifications. The four MiG-15 changes that rushed to the front, under the command of their master, were like young eagles that had just come out of the nest, although their movements were a little stiff and jerky, but they pounced on their prey very bravely.

"T107, 108 Attention! At one o'clock, 20,000 meters away from you, you found 4 enemy planes, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, pay attention to searching, when the target is in the cloud cave first, 107 attack the rightmost plane, 108 attack the right one, ready to shoot. After the attack was completed, they quickly withdrew to the direction of the enemy plane at 11 o'clock, formed a formation, and prepared to launch a second wave of attack.
