Beginning on September 20, 1937, the 3rd Fighter Squadron stationed in Jurong under the leadership of Kurchumov resumed the full load of strikes on the Japanese troops in the Songhu area. However www.biquge.info the pilots who returned to the country reacted that the power of this American-made bomb was really not comparable to the solidified ****** of the original equipment, and the real thing was that the thunder was heavy and the rain was small -- attacking infantry targets with explosive bombs was not only a waste of ammunition, but also not very effective.

Fortunately, all the soldiers on the front line wanted was morale, and the Japanese planes had not appeared over Songhu for some time, and the impact on the morale of their own side and the Japanese army was immeasurable. There was a stalemate in the fighting on the ground, and the Chinese and Japanese sides fought over and over again on various fronts, but on the whole, the Japanese still had a certain advantage.

Lin Jun sometimes can't understand that the *** army that participated in the war is basically the Central Army with the strongest combat effectiveness in the hands of Lao Jiang, the equipment and training are good, and the soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice and bravery, but why can't they destroy the Japanese army that is less than half of their own strength? !

The only explanation can only be in command, although there are some patriotic and high-quality officers among the senior generals, but the others are really mediocre, and there are a small number of factional reasons in it, but what is the reason Lin Jun can't say clearly, so he can only watch the formed troops drive to the front line, and in a few days these troops will be consumed in the line of fire - the current Songhu battlefield has become a huge "flesh and blood mill", and the troops on both sides are constantly consuming their own vitality.

Looking anxious but unable to do it, he is a good hand at commanding air operations, but this ground battle is not a good move at all, and the *** troops are not able to move by themselves.

When he was in Spain, Lin Jun once joked to himself: if he gave himself a regiment of troops, he could reimburse it within a day.

But I'm really afraid of something. On the night of September 23, Lin Jun received an urgent top-secret telegram from Moscow, asking him to rush to Novokievskoye in the Vladivostok Prefecture of the Far Eastern Territory, because the Soviet and Japanese troops were fighting on two hills, and Lin Jun was needed to learn and command the battle.

"Commander, the daylily will be cold when I arrive!" The first time he saw the telegram, Lin Jun complained.

Needless to say, the place where the Soviet army clashed with the Japanese army was Zhang Gufeng, but the time was almost ten months earlier than recorded in history, and the reason is needless to say that he beat the Japanese army in the Songhu area to the devil and howl wolf, otherwise Stalin would not have transferred himself to the Far East in a hurry.

Lin Jun remembered that the inducement of time this time was that the Soviet army was building a position on Zhang Gufeng, but now it seems that this inducement may be something else, but why Lin Jun is too lazy to think about it, now he has to think about why he will temporarily transfer himself to the Far East.

"Comrade Stalin, are you trying to keep me busy?!"

I can only complain like this: Now that the fighting in the Songhu area is entering a white-hot stage, it is definitely not the time for me to leave. This is inappropriate from a military point of view, but from Stalin's point of view, Lin Jun's temporary departure from the Songhu battlefield will be beneficial to this beloved general -- the results achieved now are huge, but everyone can see that the form of the Songhu battlefield is not favorable to the Chinese army, and the Japanese army that was bombed and sunk the aircraft carrier will definitely take revenge, and then it will be a life-and-death situation. Stalin did not need his subordinates to risk the Japanese army to the death, and it was also risky, and no one knew who would be killed in a large-scale air battle that would take place after a while. It was a good thing to leave the Songhu battlefield for the time being with a complete victory, and the conflict that took place in the Far East gave Stalin the best excuse -- Stalin transferred Lin Jun to the Chinese battlefield, to put it bluntly, he gilded Lin Jun, and he never wanted any accidents to happen, and there was no need for this training subject to take on too many arduous tasks at present.

Of course, Stalin also understood that the Far East was just a small fight, and it would not take long to solve the problem, and when the matter over there was settled, the situation in the Songhu region of China would probably become clearer, and it would be possible to transfer this love back.

Stalin did not think at all about the actual combat effectiveness of Andrei's march to the Far East - he was now thinking from a strategic point of view of personnel training, not from a military point of view. On the Far East, Brücher (commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front) and Hitren (chief of staff of the Soviet Far Eastern Front) could not make a mess, and letting Andrei go over was just a temporary departure "at a suitable time".

Stalin's considerations made Lin Jun a hundred unwilling, and now he did not want to leave China temporarily at all, even if he left for a while. But the order could only be carried out, otherwise, according to Stalin's temper, the result of violating this order could be to transfer himself directly back to Moscow, never to come to China again.

As soon as possible, he prepared for the trip, handed over the specific work to Andlupf, and then ran to Zhou Zhirou and Kong Xiangxi. Regarding Lin Jun's sudden transfer, Kong Xiangxi and Zhou Zhirou were very surprised, and Lin Jun could only say that he would be in March at most.

The transfer of others is not something that can be managed by his own side, and Zhou Zhirou can only say some words such as "safe journey" and "go early and return early", and report the transfer of Lin Jun to ******.

Before leaving, Lin Jun had a deep talk with Kong Xiangxi.

"Lao Kong, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other. I want to ask you something, and I hope you can tell you the truth. ”

As soon as he saw Lin Jun's serious expression, Kong Xiangxi knew that what he was going to ask must be very important, "Andre, you said, as long as I know, I must tell the truth." ”

"Lao Kong, the goal of the campaign launched by the Japanese army in the Songhu area this time is very clear, that is, to occupy the most economically developed areas in China, and Shanghai and Nanjing are bound to be won by them. What do you think will be the final outcome of this campaign? ”

Lin Jun's words made Kong Xiangxi ponder for a while before he spoke: "What I want to say is to take risks, and I won't say anything in front of you." The three months that the Japanese were clamoring for to destroy China was delusional, but Shanghai and Nanjing were difficult to hold. This time, unlike the previous ones, the Japanese are all-out aggression against China, and they will not stop until they achieve their goal. I think Nanjing will be lost in half a year at most. ”

"Lao Kong, I'm thinking the same thing. The Japanese army is all wild beasts, and now the Songhu battlefield has caused losses that they have never had before, and once Nanjing and other cities are lost, I am afraid that the Japanese army will retaliate against the civilians on a large scale, and those beasts have done this kind of thing. Lao Kong, you have to be prepared, in case you go to the ground, you must evacuate the civilians as much as possible, I can only tell you this. China cannot die, and this war will certainly be a long-term and protracted war, and it will not be solved by one or two battles. ”

Kong Xiangxi was very concerned about what Lin Jun said, "Andre, I know what you said is reasonable, but there are some things that I can't control personally, so I can only do my best." ”

"By the way, Andre, is your wife going to move with you this time?"

"She won't leave, and I'll be back soon. This time, the Japanese will do it in the north, and I will let them walk around as much as possible, and I will come back when the fight is over. ”

Lin Jun knew why this Kong Xiangxi asked: If Vukinskaya is also transferred, then this Andrei may not return as soon as he leaves.

、、、、、、

In order to hurry up this long-distance transfer, Lin Jun boldly chose to take the DB-3 long-range bomber equipped with the bomber unit, and the first stop was to fly directly from Nanjing to Ulaanbaatar, with a straight-line distance of more than 2,600 kilometers in the air, and in order to avoid the Japanese fighters that appear from time to time in North China, DB-3 will not go directly in a straight line, but will go around a little circle, fly to Baotou direction first, and then modify the route to Ulaanbaatar, so that this flight will be close to 3,000 kilometers, and the flight world will be close to 10 hours. This route was the first flight of a Soviet plane, and it would take a lot of risks, but the DB-3 bomber's cruising range of up to 4,000 kilometers gave Lin Jun some confidence. When Lin Jun arrives in Ulaanbaatar, the DB-3 will return the same route, and Lin Jun and his entourage will transfer to Ulaanbaatar's plane and go to the Soviet Far East.

At night, the Daxiaochang airport was busy, and the ground crew was carefully overhauling the two DB-3s, because there were no bombs, Vasily also commanded his subordinates to install additional fuel tanks in the magazines of the two bombers, not that the cruising range was not enough, it was always good to have more fuel, just in case.

Zhou Zhirou sent an experienced bomber navigator to take charge of the previous route. For his kindness, Lin Jun did not refuse, although he was still relatively familiar with the previous voyage, but it is always a good thing to have more strength.

Early in the morning of September 24, two DB-3 long-range bombers took off from the Nanjing Daxiaochang airfield, and before leaving, Andlupuf reassured Lin Jun that although he let go of his hands and feet in the Far East, there would be no problems here. Although Lin Jun is very clear about his brother's ability, he can only have a pessimistic attitude towards the war in Songhu - the current general trend is the general trend, and the giant wheel of history will not change too much because of some of his own actions, and he hopes that Nanjing will still be in his own hands when he returns here.

Lin Jun and Fekochinov flew on the first bomber, the captain of this plane, Lieutenant Verayov, and currently in the navigator position is the major navigator Zhang Zhiqiang of the *** Air Force. Lin Jun's other two entourage, Snornick and Landscoch, were on the second plane, and this bomber was not as good as a passenger plane, and it was already more crowded when two people were crammed.

There was no information about the Zhanggufeng area at hand, and the memories left in his head could not help, the voyage was long and boring, Lin Jun could only choose to chat and sleep. Friends who have been on long-distance planes know that the flight of nearly 10 hours is very tiring, and this bomber is not as comfortable as those passenger planes of later generations, not only noisy, but also breathable. At a cruising altitude of 4,000 meters, the flight temperature is also low, and it is uncomfortable for people wearing cold-proof clothing to stay still for a long time.

The position where Lin Jun is now sitting turned out to be the bombardier's seat, while Fekochinov sat in a small folding chair behind the navigator. Seeing that the tall Fekochinov had been nestled in that small chair, Lin Jun wanted to laugh a little - Fekochinov, who was wearing a cold suit, was like a big hibernating bear.

In order to keep this long journey from being too dull, Lin Jun chose to chat.

"Major Zhang, you're familiar with this voyage, aren't you?"

As soon as he heard the Soviet general on the side talking to himself, Zhang Zhiqiang hurriedly turned his head: "General Andrey, no one has flown this route yet, I was transferred because I participated in aerial surveying and mapping a few years ago." The landmarks and terrain are relatively familiar to me. You can speak Russian with me, I can understand it, 10 years ago I studied in the USSR for a while, at the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy on the edge of Moscow. ”

Zhou Zhirou told himself that Zhang Zhiqiang was the officer under him who was most familiar with aviation coordinates, not only experienced, but also the director of the aviation committee in charge of pilotage training (the rank of the *** air force in 1937 was very interesting, it was two levels higher than the army, just like this Zhang Zhiqiang's rank was the air force major, but his rank was the same as a colonel in the army, so it is not surprising that a major in his early 30s was in charge of pilot pilot training.).

"Oh, I didn't expect you to study at the Zhukov Academy, my home is in the Zhukov Academy, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely come to my house as a guest."

Sometimes it feels like the world is a little small.

"Hehe, definitely. I still sometimes think about life at the academy, where I studied for two years. Speaking of his days in Moscow, this Zhang Zhiqiang still seems a little nostalgic.

"And what did you study at the academy?"

"The main subject is piloting, and later I also learned the piloting skills of fighters, but in front of you, I can only barely be regarded as a qualified navigator."

"Hehe, humble."

I feel that this Zhang Zhiqiang is still more enthusiastic, and Lin Jun is also happy to find someone to talk to on the plane. At this time, Lin Jun saw that his confidential secretary was lying idle on the side, and kicked him lightly (in a noisy bomber, sometimes it is better to use his feet to speak loudly. ）。

"Don't stay still, come and talk to Major Zhang, I'll go around the back."
