On the morning of September 11, 1937, Nanjing Daxiaochang Airport. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Jun, who was forced to be calm, kept his eyes on the sky, although he knew that even if everything was going well, the attack aircraft group would not return to the airport until two hours later, but he just couldn't sit still.

The senior generals of the nearby Kuomintang Party looked at Lin Jun who was "chickens flying and dogs jumping", and they were all impressed by the wisdom of the "commission": such hairy children, if there is no commissioner here, they must have already taken off the plane!

Unlike those army generals, the *** pilots who were present still had some understanding of Lin Jun's current mood: watching his comrades take to the air to attack the enemy, he could only wait--bitter!

Lin Jun saw that Lao Jiang was drinking herbal tea under the shade of a tree and reading official documents-he had temporarily moved his headquarters to the Daxiao Factory, and he had to admire this person's determination.

"General Zhou, how is the combat readiness of the nearby airfield?" Lin Jun, who couldn't bear it, caught Zhou Zhirou.

"According to the decision of yesterday's meeting, all fighters in Jurong, Yangzhou, Guangde, and Hangzhou (in fact, at that time, *** officers used to call them destroyers, and here they are called uniformly. At 6 a.m., the troops were all in the first level of combat readiness. ”

"Bombing the baby aircraft carrier of the Japanese devils, those bastards must be more uncomfortable than the death of their own mother, and they will definitely come to retaliate. Of course, if they still have mothers! ”

Just after yesterday's meeting, Zhou Zhirou had secretly ordered all fighter units at the nearby airfield to be put on first-level alert to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall after the attack. And when Lin Jun here thought that he would have to "cool off" on the ground after a while, his heart was not a good feeling, and he was even more uncomfortable than just now.

Walking to Lao Jiang's side, he was about to speak, only to see Lao Jiang put down the official document in his hand and said: "General Andrei, Shao'an is not impatient, sit down and drink a cup of herbal tea with me." ”

"The best Ming Qian Longjing, I only tasted it once in Spain last year." Lin Jun was not polite, and sat straight on the empty rattan chair beside Lao Jiang.

"Oh, and General Andrei still has some research on the tea ceremony in China?"

The guards on the side served Lin Jun the freshly brewed tea, and for Lao Jiang, there were too many wonderful things on this Andre.

"Hehe, foolishly, a Chinese friend invited me to drink this before, so I remembered it. To be honest, among the Chinese tea varieties, I only know Longjing. ”

"It seems that General Andrei is also a person who is good at the tea ceremony, and I will ask someone to give you a few catties tomorrow." Looking at Lin Jun's skillful and orthodox actions of serving and drinking tea, ****** knew at a glance that this guy knew how to drink tea.

"Haha, a few catties won't be needed, I can't drink it all year round, half a catty is enough."

Since it comes to tea, Lin Jun also played a temporary role, and chatting about the tea ceremony is also the best way to calm down.

"As far as I know, Mr. Jiang's hometown is in Fenghua, Zhejiang, which is also suitable for tea growing. In my estimation, in a few years, the tea in Mr. Jiang's hometown and nearby areas will be the best choice. When the industry in the big cities is developed on a large scale, the area of tea mountains in places such as Hangzhou will be reduced, and tea needs to be moistened by rain and fog to grow lush and of high quality. ”

As soon as he heard that Andre knew his hometown, Lao Jiang was excited: "I didn't expect General Andre to know about my hometown, it's rare." ”

"My guard told me about this before, and his ancestral home is in the neighboring county of Mr. Jiang's hometown, so I learned about it by the way." Lin Jun regarded Wang Gang as himself, and Wang Gang did not say where his ancestral home was, and now there is no way to verify. Pressing the ancestral home of Wang Gang's brothers in his hometown, there will be a place to worship and think in the future, which can be regarded as also making Wang Gang, an overseas wanderer, "return to his roots".

"Oh, what a coincidence. I see that General Andrei's current guards are all orthodox Russians, I don't know where that guard is now, and which county is his ancestral hometown? ”

"What a coincidence this world!" Think.

"It's a pity that my guard has died, his name is Wang Gang, the descendant of the Chinese Ming royal guard, and his ancestral home is Shengxian County, Zhejiang. I want to go to his hometown at a convenient time, so as to pay tribute to him, and let this overseas traveler return to his roots. ”

"Of course you can, I really didn't expect that General Andrei's guards are still my fellow countrymen. Today, Zhirou also told me that one of your guards is an overseas Chinese, and he is also a good brother of General Andrei, so it is good to go to his hometown to pay respects. When the time comes, let Yongzhi (Kong Xiangxi's word) arrange it. ”

Kong Xiangxi was also on the side, and after hearing this, he hurriedly spoke: "General Andre, I will definitely arrange it for you at that time." ”

Just now, Kong Xiangxi had been paying attention to the conversation between Lin Jun and ******, and was trying to find an excuse to insert his head: "General Andrei, yesterday you said that Comrade Wang Gang's sword was given by Emperor Ming, I wonder if you can let me feast my eyes?" ”

Lin Jun is not stingy, of course he can take a look, "Fekochinov, bring my knife." ”

Of course, Fekochinov, who had been nearby, knew which knife Lin Jun was talking about, because the "Red Banner" saber had always been hanging on the chief's waist.

When the treasure knife was brought, even ****** and other well-informed figures all showed praise on their faces, and the voices of "good knife, sure treasure knife, worthy of being a royal thing" were endless.

After retrieving the sword, Lin Jun diverted the topic: "Mr. Jiang, General Zhou and I estimate that once the Japanese Air Force (which will use this term in general terms in the future, it should be too annoying to say "Japanese Army Air Force and Naval Air Force". After learning of the actions of our army's air raid on its aircraft carrier, it will definitely retaliate with a frantic air raid on Nanjing. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang and all of you are too dangerous here, so it is better to return to the city as soon as possible. ”

If Lao Jiang appeared here, it would be unexpected, and the war against Japan would not be good.

"Hehe, General Andrei, I'm a soldier, why be afraid of Japanese planes!?" Lao Jiang has a rare "ambition and pride".

I used gestures to stop the opinions of the staff on the side, and I didn't want to leave if I stepped on it one day.

Since you don't leave, it's up to you, anyway, Lin Jun can't move Lao Jiang.

、、、、、、

Just after eight o'clock, the Daxiao Factory received news that three of its own planes had landed at Jurong Airport, and other planes were flying towards the Daxiao Factory. What made everyone even more excited was that all the planes that attacked were not lost, except for a few wounded; The "Dragon" was bound to sink, damaging two escort destroyers and shooting down 12 Japanese fighters.

Everyone was overjoyed by the huge victory, and Lao Chiang personally ordered that all the pilots who had made the attack be awarded, and ordered the propaganda organs to publicize it widely, so that the whole country would know the news of this victory!

Looking at the "high-spirited" old Jiang, although Lin Jun was also happy, there was still a trace of "sobriety": "Mr. Jiang, I need to make a small request to you." ”

"General Andrei, please say, you're welcome." Now ****** is in a good mood.

"I think when I publicize it to the outside world, can I record the results of the sinking of the "Long Xiang" on your pilots, there are some things you know, this ―――――?"

There is no need for Lin Jun to say anything, ****** will understand the meaning of Lin Jun's words: Of course, the Soviet Union's aid to China flight team to help the Anti-Japanese War can let everyone know, even if you don't say it on your side, the Japanese and the whole world will know; However, widely publicizing the fact that "the Soviet Air Force, the precious aircraft carrier that sank the Japanese invaders, also had a share," would create too much trouble for the Soviet Union's diplomacy. Diplomacy is like this - you can tacitly say it, but it's not interesting to show it out.

"General Andrei, I know what to do, it's just that the heroes of the Soviet Air Force are going to be wronged."

"As long as justice can be promoted, this is not a grievance, and besides, my side still counts their achievements, but it is not propaganda."

"We will also record the heroic deeds of the heroes of the Soviet Union, and when the time is right, we will make them public, so that the people of China will know that there is a unit from the Soviet Union that is helping us fight the Japanese invaders."

Lin Jun didn't care about how much Lao Jiang's words would be fulfilled, and now he was concerned about the situation of the returning plane, because it was mentioned in the battle report just now that the landing gear of a Soviet fighter was damaged and needed to be forced to land.

The personnel on the ground were in place and ready for the landing of the group. Fire trucks and medical personnel at the airport are on standby, waiting for the swarms to appear in the sky.

The four "Northrop" bombers led by Xu Zhuoyuan were the first to land, followed by six of Prokofiev's assault detachment, and the other six planes were still hovering in the air -- they wanted to prevent the Japanese planes from avoiding a sneak attack on the airfield by the air surveillance network, because landing was the most vulnerable time to a sneak attack.

The pilots who landed first were greeted like heroes on the ground (they are heroes), and as soon as the Soviet fighters landed, they slid to the side of the tarmac where their ground crews were located, and under Vasily's command, the ground crews who had already been in place immediately began to inspect the planes, refuel, reload, and reassemble the guns - they had to make all preparations before the landing of the escort group in Andlupf.

Fifteen minutes later, 12 fighters of the Andreupf detachment appeared in the sky, at which point Prokofiev's plane and four other I-16s landed, and the damaged landing gear of the I-16 had been circling over the airport to consume fuel.

Lin Jun, who ran to the tower, asked through the radio: "Alyosha, Alyosha, I'm Andre, what is the situation like on the plane?" ”

"Report to Comrade Andrei, it's just that the landing gear was broken and couldn't be put down. There's still about 10 minutes of fuel left, and I'll make a crash landing in a few moments. ”

"Okay, stay safe, just make a forced landing on the lawn on the right side of the airport, and we've cleared the obstacles for you."

"Understood, Comrade Andrey."

After the conversation, Lin Jun ran to the tarmac again and looked at the 7 planes hovering in the sky: 6 escort formations that finally arrived over the airport just now had already landed, and Andlupuv was still in the sky, and they had to wait for Alyosha's plane to land after it was forced to land.

Under normal circumstances, the returning planes will land at the same time, but at present, there are no fighters to defend the airfield over the Nanjing Colonel Factory, so Andrupf and the others will stay in the sky for a while.

It wasn't until about 9:20 a.m. that all the sortie planes landed safely, except that the I-16 piloted by Lieutenant Alyosha needed to be repaired: the propellers had to be replaced, and the belly wing abrasions had to be repaired.

When the last I-16 taxied into the tarmac, Vasily told Lin Jun that there were already six fighter jets ready to take to the skies.

At 10 o'clock, Sasha, who had landed at Jurong Airport, and two other "Northrop" bombers also returned to the Daxiao Factory. It was supposed that the plane that had been punctured could not take off again until it was repaired, but the self-sealing fuel tank of the I-16 could only be repaired at the Colonel, and the anxious Sasha was reluctant to return by car: the result, of course, was severely criticized by Andlupf. In the end, it was Lin Jun who helped Sasha out of the siege: If you take such a risk again, I will send you back to the Soviet Union tomorrow!

After giving an enthusiastic speech at the airport, Lin Jun and his staff were finally persuaded to return to Nanjing, and they brought back to Nanjing a roll of film containing pilots from the Chinese Air Force and Soviet ones, but only a small part of them.

Lin Jun and Zhou Zhirou estimated that after noon today at the latest, the Japanese planes would carry out a frenzied retaliation against Nanjing. In order to prevent confusion, Lin Jun had already asked the bomber group, which was scheduled to arrive at the colonel factory in the morning, to be transferred to the next morning, while the other two I-16 squadrons, led by Kurchumov, flew directly to Jurong Airport with Chinese transport planes as the guide. Just before Andlupf landed, they had arrived in Jurong.

At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, all the pilots had already eaten Chinese food in batches and hid in the lounge by the tarmac one by one to rest. They are well treated, each has a bamboo recliner in hand, and there is an old-fashioned ceiling fan on their heads, so that people can not only rest well, but also not sweat when they lie down. Ground staff do not have this treatment, except for a group of personnel who are not on the front line can hide in the lounge to blow the cool breeze, the rest can only hide in the shade of the tree to enjoy the shade, each with a big fan.

Lin Jun is also in the grove now, he handed over the matter of counting the results to Fekochinov, and did not trouble Andlupf, Lin Jun wanted him to rest more, the big war was still to come.

Now Lin Jun is looking at Vasily who is cranking a big pu fan, and he wants to laugh in his heart: a Soviet comrade with a hawkish nose and blue eyes is holding a big pu fan in his hand, and he is fanning "the wind is everywhere", which is definitely a more interesting picture.

"Vasily, are you all ready?"

"Captain, now a total of 23 fighters can take off at any time, the two left are now in the hangar for repair, the forced landing is estimated to take a few days to repair, and the one that was pierced through the fuel tank can be used tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, I'm relieved to have you here."

"Captain, a piece of watermelon, it's really sweet." Vasily put down the big pu fan and handed Lin Jun a large watermelon.

These watermelons were all sent yesterday by the Chinese brothers, the best alpine watermelons (the plains in September are no longer watermelons.) This also made the Soviet comrades, who treated watermelons as a rare thing, happy for a while.

Watermelons cannot be grown in many areas of the Soviet Union even in summer, and due to temperature reasons, although watermelons are also grown in many places, they are not very sweet, of course, watermelons in the southern regions of the Soviet Union are also very good, but comrades in the north can not eat them every day (recall the attitude of the common people in the north of our country towards mangoes 20 years ago. ）。

Lin Jun took the piece of watermelon, took two bites, and was about to talk to Vasily when the air defense siren sounded at the airport.

"A large number of Japanese planes were found in the sky over Changshu, divided into two groups, with a total of more than 80 planes, judging from the course, they flew directly to Nanjing. The Yangzhou, Jurong, and Guangde airfields have received information that all the fighters of Yangzhou and Guangde are preparing to take off, and the Jurong side is making preparations, and it is expected that our troops will encounter the Japanese planes on the Danyang-Jintan line. Zhou Zhirou, who stayed at the airport, loudly introduced the pilot, and Lin Jun immediately translated his words into Russian.

"It's just time to catch up this time, and we'll have a decisive battle with them here!" Lin Jun punched the location of Danyang-Jintan on the map.

"All the pilots take off urgently, all the pilots are in accordance with the squadron as a unit, and the two planes are in formation, and they must be completely annihilated against the enemy." Andlupuf gave the order to take off.

Looking at the group of planes flying to the east in the sky, Lin Jun's psychology was not a taste: the scale of this air battle will exceed that of last year's Madrid air battle, when he was living and dying with his comrades, but now he can only watch the excitement at the airport! This time, the Japanese army has sent all the planes that can attack in the Songhu area to retaliate, and the total number of fighters that can be dispatched from several airports in the first place is more than 30, plus 47 Soviet-style fighters at two airports on their side, they still have an advantage in the number of fighters, but they don't know if they can completely block the Japanese bombers.

But the madness of the Japanese army also gave the Chinese and Soviet air forces an excellent opportunity: it was possible to annihilate the opponent in a decisive air battle, giving the sky of the Battle of Songhu a buffer time, instead of being slowly consumed by the opponent!

The soft grinding and hard bubble will also be consumed by the enemy, and the ground battle is also destined to fight and retreat, it is better to come to a big one, let little Japan know that it is powerful! At least this will make the officers and men who are fighting hard in front less likely to be threatened from the air. Originally, ****** and Zhou Zhirou were very likely to avoid such a "hard encounter", because they could not afford to consume it, but today's huge victory and the strong combat effectiveness of the Soviet Air Force gave them confidence: a decisive battle will be a decisive battle!

Before the attack, Lin Jun had already informed Kurchumov in Jurong that once the ammunition and fuel were exhausted, he would be diverted to the Nanjing Colonel Factory, because now only here is there a complete logistics system for Soviet-style aircraft.

Andlupuf in the sky is also constantly giving orders through the radio: "As long as it is a plane with a plaster flag, it will be shot down by Lao Tzu, everyone can see it clearly, don't have a misunderstanding with the Chinese plane!" The aircraft from the Chinese side has also been notified. This time it will be an unprecedented air battle, remember, the following is your own territory, don't be afraid of being beaten down by your opponent! They're the ones to be afraid of! Play with Soviet momentum and let those Japanese gnomes know how good we are! ”

It should be said that this passage of Andrupf is not like a directive, but more like a "bearded" head cheering up his subordinates: a big air battle with more than 150 aircraft, which has not been done in the history of the Soviets! At the thought of this, all the pilots were excited, and adrenaline was rushed.
