September 11, 1937 is destined to go down in history, whether for China, the Soviet Union or Japan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After three large-scale battles that day, the Chinese and Soviet air forces not only regained air supremacy in the Songhu area in one fell swoop, but also drove the "Kaga" aircraft carrier squadron, which had become the commander of the light pole, back to the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese army also suffered its biggest defeat since the Sino-Japanese War -- Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi had to apologize.

On that day, the city of Nanjing was as festive as a festival, and even more than that, and there were firecrackers everywhere to celebrate the victory. The Central Radio continued to broadcast the news of the great victory in the air, and the special "extra" of the Central Daily appeared on the streets of Nanjing one after another, and gave it to the citizens of Nanjing for free, and the ordinary people of Nanjing rushed to tell their relatives and friends the news of the great victory of the Air Force with newspapers!

When the news of the sinking of the "Long Xiang" by its own air force was received at noon, the city of Nanjing was already boiling! And the good news is one after another: in several air battles, the Chinese and Soviet air forces, which fought together, actually shot down 156 planes of the invincible Japanese Air Force, while their own side only lost 10 fighters!

A one-day battle that not only sank an aircraft carrier, but also shot down 156 enemy planes with minor losses, was a victory that was destined to shake the whole world -- any air power would be amazed at this victory, and the whole world would remember the prestige of the fighter forces of China and the Soviet Union.

The ****** who sat in the military commissar were about to have a heart attack by this huge victory, but fortunately, Lao Chiang's psychological endurance was not ordinarily strong, and one after another commendation orders were issued from the office of the military commissar.

Although Lin Jun was happy, he was not as ecstatic as Lao Jiang - as soon as he got out of the cockpit, he ordered Sergeant Vasily, who picked up the plane, to "gather all the pilots for a meeting." ”

Why did Lin Jun have a meeting? He had to beat the pilots who were about to get a little "carried away", otherwise it would have a negative impact on the future battles.

"Comrades played well today and played with Soviet momentum! I can say that today is one of the greatest victories in the history of the world Air Force! Many comrades have achieved shooting down records, and we are also the first flying unit in the world to sink an aircraft carrier. Although the credit for sinking the enemy aircraft carrier will be credited to the Chinese brothers in the propaganda to the outside world, I think everyone understands the reason for this, and I will truthfully report the exploits of all comrades to Moscow. Today Andrupf and I will talk and count: those who shoot down more than 5 planes in one sortie will apply for the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", other comrades will also receive due awards, and your commander-in-chief will make detailed statistics. But today I would like to emphasize one more thing: who completely obeyed my orders in the air battle just now?! A long machine is not a long machine, and a wingman is not a wingman! I think the comrades understand the reason, I won't say much here, I don't want this situation to happen again! ”

Lin Jun looked at all the pilots present, these guys already understood what was wrong.

"Another point, today we achieved a great victory, but one thing cannot be ignored, today the Japanese were not prepared for our sudden appearance, and they did not understand our real strength, plus the gap in the performance of the aircraft was one-sided. I think by the time the Japanese have come to their senses, we won't be dealing with those old-fashioned fighters! Comrades who have fought with the Japanese in the Type 96 warship battle today should know in their hearts that the performance of this new fighter is no worse than ours, and it is estimated that our main opponent in the future will be it. Comrades who have met with the 96 ship can exchange their experiences with other comrades after the meeting, and I can tell you that the real evil battle is still to come. ”

Lin Junyou paused, and then said: "The war launched by the Japanese in China will not end soon, although we have won victory in the air, the situation of the ground war is not in our favor, everyone must be prepared to fight a protracted war." Well, the comrades have also worked hard today, except for the staff on duty, let's disperse. ”

"Brother, today alone we have shot down more than 130 enemy aircraft, and it is estimated that there will be a new "Hero of the Soviet Union". Lin Jun said to Andlupf.

"Prokofiev shot down 8 Japanese planes in the first air battle, and also shot down a Type 96 medium attack aircraft, followed by two more. I was reimbursed 11 in one day, and I think he was the first choice. ”

"Hehe, if you weren't my wingman today, you wouldn't be much less than him."

"It's not a lot, 2 were solved during the bombing of aircraft carriers, 5 during the big melee, plus one Type 96 attack aircraft, and today there are also eight."

"It's not eight, it's nine!" Lin Jun didn't forget the one that the two of them solved together, "Just count my half of the frame on your head, and treat it as paying back the half of Spain's old account, hehe." ”

Lin Jun saw that he still had an opinion, and said: "Don't want to chirp with me, you know that half of the frame doesn't mean much to me, it's more or less the same." ”

As soon as Andlupuf heard his brother say this, he did not speak again. He understands that for the current Andre, how many individual records are meaningless, and the collective record is the most important.

When Lin Jun changed his coat, Zhou Zhirou came to him.

Holding Lin Jun's hand tightly, "General Andre, I don't know what to say today."

This Zhou Zhirou looked a little excited, he really didn't know what to say about today's huge victory.

"General Zhou, we are a family, you don't need to be polite. You can count your army's achievements as soon as possible, and we will be a good pair, or I will not be able to report it. ”

"Definitely, definitely! General Andrei, just now the chairman of the committee called, he wants to award medals to Soviet fighter pilots. ”

Lao Jiang's attitude was not surprising at all, but Lin Jun still had his own considerations: "General Zhou, can you tell Mr. Jiang that the matter of awarding us the honor can be postponed for two days." As you know, the pilots are really tired today, and they will have to be on combat readiness duty early tomorrow morning to support the front-line ground forces in the battle when the Japanese Air Force is empty. ”

"Okay, I'll report to the chairman immediately." Zhou Zhirou understood: The Soviet pilots didn't rest well last night, and some pilots have already attacked three times a day, and even an iron man can't withstand such a continuous rotation, so he has to rest well.

"Another thing, a large number of Nanjing citizens rushed to the school factory, people from all walks of life, all came to express condolences to everyone, I think General Andrei will see it?"

"It's still General Zhou and the pilots of your army to do it for you, the current situation is not suitable for us to appear too much in public." Although Lin Jun really wanted to meet the citizen representatives of Nanjing, he had discipline, and he could only let Zhou Zhirou deal with it.

Seeing off Zhou Zhirou, Lin Jun came to the tarmac again and saw that the ground crew was overhauling the plane.

When Vasily saw him, he came up to him and asked, "Captain, what is this marker?" ”

Vasily's problem had to be solved, because according to tradition, the red five-pointed star symbol was painted, but the current situation is not suitable, so what should be done?

"Just shoot down a plaster flag with a little Japanese painting, and draw a black cross on it!"

"Okay, Captain."

Before sunset, the bomber group led by Kidalinsky arrived at the Colonel's airfield, and they had already learned that the fighter unit had achieved brilliant results. Everyone of the comrades who flew the bombers was full of energy: they wanted everyone to know that the bomber brigade was not a dry meal!

The dinner at the airport that day was extremely sumptuous, which was completely the standard of the celebration banquet, with chicken, duck and fish all kinds of meat, but there was no wine to drink.

After the meal, Lin Junyou held a short meeting attended by pilots and ground crews to discuss tomorrow's battle plan.

"I know that there are people who don't have a good meal at dinner today, to put it bluntly, comrades of the bomber brigade. Don't worry, you'll be comfortable eating tomorrow's dinner! ”

As soon as Lin Jun opened the scene, he dispelled the psychological "discomfort" of the comrades of the bomber brigade: "Early tomorrow morning, all the bombers will be dispatched, the first squadron will bomb the Japanese warships at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the second squadron will bomb the newly built airfields of the Japanese army along the coast, and the third and fourth squadrons will bomb the Japanese army's material distribution centers along the Yangtze River. ”

Lin Jun pointed to the small-scale military map on the wall and said, "Okay, I'm done." ”

There are some things that Lin Jun understands in his heart, it is better to decentralize power, he is happy to be idle, and he can also cultivate the ability of the comrades below. Now the Japanese army's air defense force in the Songhu area is basically blank, and it is just the right time to "take advantage of your illness to kill you"! Sprinkle salt on the wounds of the Japanese soldiers!

The meeting ended after an hour, and the final result of the discussion was that all the existing ordinary bombs in the Daxiao Factory were thrown on the heads of the Japanese troops in one day, so that the Japanese ground offensive could be settled for a few days due to the shortage of materials, and the friendly troops on the ground would have time to breathe, while their own side could wait for the follow-up supplies to arrive in Nanjing.

The two squadrons of bombers attacking the airfield will be escorted by 12 Yi-16 fighters, while the other formations will be escorted by eight fighters each -- these escorts will be sufficient, and the 10 Yi-16s that can be lifted into the air will be hung in "purgatory" to support the ground defense in the direction of Luodian.

The bomber sortie was scheduled for 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, so that by 11 a.m. all the bombers would return to the Colonel Plant; At two o'clock in the afternoon, they attacked again and divided into two formations, one of which bombed the Japanese warships on the Huangpu River to support the operation in the city, and the other bombarded the Japanese garrison, warehouses, temporary docks and ships in the Wusong area. Ten fighters will take off alternately from morning to night, in double-strike formations, to carry out irregular and uninterrupted surprise attacks on the Japanese troops in Luodian.

did not let the bomber formation directly attack the Japanese position, this arrangement Lin Jun has his own ideas: the bomber group that bombs horizontally in clusters is still appropriate to destroy the logistics and personnel assembly places of the Japanese army, and there is no follow-up support for the time being, and it is difficult for the Japanese army on the front line to be horizontal, and this will also disrupt the decision-making of the Japanese army's top brass and give the first-line troops a chance to breathe. In addition, the number of aerial bombs currently stockpiled at the airport of Daxiaochang is insufficient, and the effect of one-time dropping is better than piecemeal. For individual "nails", let Yi 16 solve them with solidification ******.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Jun, who just wanted to rest, was invited by Zhou Zhirou again, because that old Jiang was anxious to award him a medal.

"General Andrei, you will be awarded the highest medal of our National Government - the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun! Other pilots in your unit will also be awarded medals at the right time. Zhou Zhirou said with a red face and Lin Jun.

Hearing Zhou Zhirou's words, Lin Jun felt that his brain was a little short-circuited: "I am a member of the Communist Party, but I accept the "Blue Sky and White Sun" medal given by Lao Jiang, this is really a bit unbelievable, right?!" It's an international joke! ”

As far as he knows, the highest honor bestowed by the Nationalist Government on foreign servicemen in history was the "Blue Sky and White Sun" medal awarded to Generals Weidemeyer and Chennault of the US Troops Aiding China, and before the appearance of the "National Light Medal," the "Blue Sky and White Sun" medal was the highest honor of the Nationalist Government.

"To accept or to reject?!" Lin Jun's mind was calculating.

Lin Jun remembered that there was such a sentence, which described the "Blue Sky and White Sun" medal: "It only shines in the flames of the Anti-Japanese War!" And many of the people who got it were famous anti-Japanese generals: Jiang Guangding, Cai Tingkai, Xie Jinyuan, Zhou Zhikai, and that Liu Cuigang.

"Compared with others, Deputy Head Xie Jinyuan, who led 800 strong men (actually 411 or 412 people) to guard the Sixing Warehouse, is an example for us to learn!" Thinking of this, Lin Jun also "dared" to accept the somewhat "hot" "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal".

Knowing that this General Andrei was a "professional medalist" in the Soviet Union and a "medal king", he was happy and decided to award him the highest medal of the Nationalist Government. Moreover, this time Lao Chiang may have to "bleed" from the medal, because not to mention the ceremonial awards of the Soviet Air Force, several pilots of his own Air Force will receive "blue sky and white sun", while other medals will be awarded "a lot".

The conditions for awarding the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun are very harsh, and if they are carried out in full accordance with the conditions of the award, the conditions for obtaining them are almost "impossible tasks" for ordinary people:

This medal is awarded to servicemen of the Army, Navy and Air Force, who have defended foreign aggression and defended the country for one of the following meritorious deeds:

1. Those who are suitable for planning and achieving full merit.

2. Proper disposition between battles, so that the whole army or part of the army can win an important victory.

3. Venture forward to detect important enemy situations and win the victory.

Fourth, those who resolutely rise up to fight to save the decline when they are in the most difficult situation.

Fifth, the most successful in taking risks to handle the rear service on the battlefield.

6. Those who risk destroying the enemy's ambush of mines or obstacles in order to open the way of the battleship.

7. After the warships escort most of the ships to the enemy's superior fleet, they can safely sail to their destinations

8. Shooting down four or more enemy aircraft and destroying six or more enemy aircraft on the ground in a single mission.

9. There is conclusive proof that the aerial bombardment hit the enemy's important bases, high headquarters, arsenals, cruisers, destroyers, etc., causing them to be completely destroyed or sunk.

This "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal" is worn in the middle of the left placket when wearing a military uniform, and the large ribbon is obliquely from the right shoulder to the left flank; When wearing military uniforms, you have to wear a medal, and when you wear other kinds of medals, its position is after the Guoguang Medal and before the Baoding Medal (of course, there are regulations after the "Guoguang Medal", and it is still ranked first on September 11, 37. ）。

The conditions for awarding the "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal" are very harsh, but according to the regulations of the award, Lin Jun can fully obtain this medal: 1. Those who are suitable for planning and obtaining full merit. 2. Proper disposition between battles, so that the whole army or part of the army can win an important victory. -- He fully complies with these two items; Moreover, his troops sent all the Japanese aircraft carriers to the bottom of the East China Sea, and his pilots shot down several enemy planes more than four in a single mission, and Prokofiev was even a "double cargo", which made him have something to do with the provisions of Article 8 and Article 9.

In a word, it is natural for Lin Jun to receive this "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal", although the number of foreign soldiers awarded is very small, but it is not nothing, although Andre may be the first, but Lin Jun himself is a little uncomfortable!

This time, Lin Jun went to accept the award in a "light plate" dress, so that Lao Jiang would not know where to hang. And when Lao Jiang personally wore this "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal" for Lin Jun under countless spotlights, looking at the "Blue Sky and White Sun" on his chest, although Lin Jun returned the salute with a military salute, he was that strange in his heart!

"Anti-Japanese, it's all about anti-Japanese!" Lin Jun kept "comforting" himself like this.

"General Andrei, Zhirou has reported your opinion to me, and when the war slows down, I will also award medals to other warriors."

The improvement is very good - it's hard for him to be bad now.

"General Andrey, it is reported that a pilot of your army shot down eight enemy planes in one air battle, and General Andlupuv also shot down five enemy planes at a time, and a captain pilot named Liu Cuigang of the Fifth Brigade of our army also shot down five Japanese planes at one time. I will award their medals in a few months. General Andrei may not know that last month we began to formulate a new "Army, Navy and Air Force Medal Regulations" and will establish a new medal, which will be called the "Order of National Glory." As soon as the draft of the charter came out, some people had already achieved the required achievements of the "Medal of National Glory", so I would wait for the official promulgation and implementation of the "Order of National Glory" before awarding them medals. ”

Lin Jun thought as soon as he heard it: "I don't know what it looks like for Andlupf and Prokofiev to wear the *** "Order of National Glory"?!" ”

Zhou Zhirou on the side introduced Lin Jun to the "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun" and the proposed conditions for awarding the "Medal of National Glory", and Lin Jun listened a little big, because those regulations were really awkward, such as the "Medal of National Glory": This chapter is awarded to the army, navy and air force who defend against foreign aggression and defend the country, and author one of the following special military exploits:

1. Annihilate all or most of the enemy's troops, and capture important enemy positions, as well as military artillery or important armaments.

2. Stick to the key points so that the enemy will not succeed, and cause our army to refrain from doing things.

3. Annihilating or capturing important personnel of the enemy's army.

4. Those who cut off the enemy's communications, or capture the enemy's food and ordnance, and the battle situation is due to meritorious service.

5. Those who take the risk of laying ambush mines to sink the enemy's warships or cause harm to the enemy and cause the enemy to lose their combat effectiveness.

6. Those who risk breaking through the enemy's encirclement or blockade, and finally achieve their goal by fighting and transporting them through hard fighting.

7. The first to occupy a garrisoned bay, harbor, or city.

8. Capturing or sinking the enemy's main warships and military vessels.

9. Those who venture into the harbor of the enemy and destroy their ships.

10. Shooting down five or more enemy planes in the air and destroying eight or more enemy planes on the ground during a mission.

11. Those who take the risk of blockading the enemy's harbor and have fulfilled their mission.

12. Those who have won a major victory by bombarding the enemy's fortresses, important military ports, aircraft carriers, capital ships, and their important military equipment by hitting them, completely destroying or sinking them, affecting the enemy's combat strength or bombing key points of communication, paralyzing the enemy's transportation and supplies, and thus achieving a major victory.

13. Those who take risks and conduct reconnaissance precisely and accurately, and who rely on insight into the enemy's situation to inflict heavy losses on the enemy or to prevent our army from major losses as a result of victory.

14. Capture or shoot down five or more enemy aircraft or capture eight or more enemy combat vehicles.

This chapter is worn in the middle of the left placket when wearing a military uniform; When wearing military uniforms, you must wear a medal watch. When worn together with the Army, Navy and Air Force Medals, it occupies the highest position.

Lin Jun felt some taste as soon as he heard it, no wonder some people said that the Air Force of the National Government was a "noble young master", and the people of the Air Force were the most advantageous in the conditions for awarding this high-level medal. And there are still "ambiguities and repetitions" in the conditions for awarding the "Order of National Glory", that is, Article 10 and Article 14, and the difference in difficulty is too great, I really don't know what Lao Jiang and his staff think - it is estimated that this will be an eternal mystery.

Lao Jiang will speak again: "General Andre, this time you are the first to blow up and sink the Japanese aircraft carrier and the unprecedented victory in air combat!" Today's "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun" can only commend some of your merits, and I will also award you the medal after the official promulgation of the "National Glory". ”

Lao Jiang's words made Lin Jun cry and laugh even more in his heart, "You really treat me as a medal professional?!" ”

It seems that Lao Jiang's interest is not over today, and the staff on the side is holding a short sword again.

"The parrot sword, which means heroic, is something worn by Chinese pilots."

Lin Jun took the "Parrot Sword" in Lao Jiang's hand - this is a good thing! The workmanship is fine, and it is still very rare, Lin Jun in his previous life has only seen the picture, but has not seen the real thing, and the "parrot sword" in his hand now is even more exquisite than in his memory.

"General Andrei, after a while, Zhirou will send a batch of pilots to your army, and each of them will have a handful."

Lao Chiang knew that this General Andrei not only had a special penchant for medals, but also that cold weapons were also his "favorite" -- Lao Chiang also liked it.

"I've only heard about the guys in the "Flying Tigers" who like to wear this parrot sword, I wonder if our comrades will like it? "You know, some of the pilots of the Soviet Air Force also had a short sword that was issued.
