【52】Let's go! Silver Warhawk!

The fighters of the Chinese Air Force are generally four in one squadron, three squadrons form a group of 12 fighters, and three squadrons form a flight regiment of 36 fighters. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's air force divisions were equipped with two fighter flight regiments, and a small number of main air force divisions were composed of three regiments. Under the flapping of Xiaoqiang's butterfly wings, New China has already organized the air force in accordance with this organizational structure.

With the concern and support of the central authorities almost one phone call a day, the Air Force, in accordance with Jihua, has completed the task of training jet fighters with 100 people on board by the end of 49 years, five Jian-5 jet fighter groups have been formed, and two have been deployed at Nanyuan Airport in the northern capital, responsible for the air defense of the capital area, and more importantly, responsible for the air defense of warships in the port of Tianjin.

At the internal meeting of the Air Force Command, General Liu Yalou, commander of the Air Force, proudly announced the Air Force's ambitious Jihua in January and February 1950.

Namely: "Strive for all favorable conditions,

The training of the J-5 jet fighter jet fighter, which has 202 pilots existing throughout the country, must be completed by the end of February.

On the basis of the pilots who can fly the Jian-5, we will strive to complete the flight training task of a group of Jian-6 pilots by the end of February.

On the basis of the pilots who can fly the Jian-5, we will strive to complete the pilot flight training and bombing training tasks of one H-5 and one H-5A torpedo planes respectively by the end of February. Preference is given to pilots who have previously flown bombers or transport aircraft.

By the end of February, efforts will be made to complete the flight training and flight reconnaissance training of the only bombardment 5. ”

To sum up, it is "one must, three striving"

In addition to the two fighter groups formed this time, the other three Jian-5 jet fighter groups -- an entire air force fighter regiment -- were deployed at Puhai Hongqiao Airport. It was used to stop the bombing of Puhai by the Kuomintang Air Force.

The deputy commander of the Jian-5 jet fighter regiment deployed to Puhai was none other than Wang Hai, because he brilliantly completed the first flight of the jet fighter, obtained first-hand information, and made great contributions to the successful completion of the training task of 100 people, Wang Hai was promoted from captain to deputy head of the aviation regiment, and the first task of the aviation regiment was to prevent the bombing of Puhai by Kuomintang planes.

Puhai is so far from Taiwan, so how was the bombing carried out? The Zhoushan Islands, a group of islands south of the Yangtze River estuary and east of Hangzhou Bay, are only more than 100 kilometers away from Puhai, and it is from here that the Kuomintang Air Force set out to bomb Puhai.

There are many islands in the Zhoushan Islands, and there are 58 islands with an area of more than one square kilometer. More than 60,000 Kuomintang troops were entrenched on the island, and the liberation campaign of the Zhoushan Islands was fought from August 1949 to April 19, 1950, and the People's Liberation Army liberated all the islands. The tragic bombing of 2.6 took place just before this dawn, and the central government, which had foresight at this moment, instructed us to defuse this bombing in advance and never let history repeat the tragedy as it was!

Wang Hai's air regiment was transferred to Hongqiao Airport on January 5 according to Jihua, as the deputy regiment commander and captain of the first brigade, he took all the pilots of the first brigade to set off first, and 12 silver eagles rose from the ground from Nanyuan Airport in the northern capital, each full of ammunition and fully armed, mounted with auxiliary fuel tanks, and the destination was the Nandu Ming Xiaoling Airport, where they will replenish fuel, and then go straight to the skies over Puhai for the first patrol and alert mission, until the cover of the entire aviation regiment is completed.

The whole brigade took off very smoothly, and the 12 swords formed a two-plane squad side by side at the optimal cruising altitude of 9,000 meters, and flew towards Nandu at a high speed of 800 kilometers per hour.

Ming Xiaoling Airport in the southern capital, one of the main take-off airports when the Kuomintang fled the mainland. Here, the ground crew of the Air Force of the East China Military Region is looking forward to it. It was cold and damp in January, but they were not willing to stay in the airport waiting room to avoid the wind, and everyone gathered around the runway in twos and threes to wait for the arrival of our People's Air Force's first truly formed fighter air strike regiment.

"Brother, I heard the chief say that this time he came is a powerful guy, the fighter jets of a regiment are transferred, obediently, saying that there are 36 planes, now Lao Jiang doesn't want to throw bombs to the south again." Said a gun-carrying airport patrol in a torn cotton jacket with his head held high and full of spirit.

This old man has a scruffy beard, much more rough than the one who spoke, "No, this time our plane is coming, we must give them some awesome looks." I just don't know what kind of model is coming, can it be better than Lao Jiang's "Mustang"? My heart is still hanging over that, what do you say Lao Jiang would do if he came to attack our airport at this time? ”

A middle-aged officer on the side, whose face was full of antiquation and uneasiness, began to listen to the two of them talking without squeaking, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but squirt:

"Let your Lao He's dog stinky fart, you crow's mouth, if Lao Jiang comes to the air raid today, Lao Tzu will punish you for brushing the toilet for a month."

Lao He was scolded, but he didn't intimidate at all: "Yes!" As long as our plane can safely complete the transfer mission, I volunteer to clean the toilet for a month. He raised his gun to the ground and replied with a pause.

The officer smiled and said no more, he looked in the southeast direction, his face showed a trace of worry, Jiang's bald planes flew over from this direction every time to bomb the southern capital, starting from April 28, 49, basically every few days, the old Chiang's B-24 and B-25 bombers were going to come to patronize, the waterworks were blown up, the power plant was half blown up, the railway shunting yard was blown up, these bombers circled over all the targets that looked like warehouses, dropped bombs and flew away. Leave the devastated city for the builders of New China to clean up. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has only a few 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns with limited range, and a few points of firepower are sporadic against the infinite sky, which is impossible to defend.

Seeing that Nandu was almost bombed, Lao Jiang concentrated his firepower on Puhai, and the number of visits to Nandu has decreased significantly recently. Let's hope today's transition goes well.

Just as all the personnel at the airport were looking forward to it, a quiet and firm male voice came out on the radio with the sound of sneering electricity:

"1001 call tower, 1001 call tower, please call back, please call back."

When the walkie-talkie at Xiaoling Airport received this wireless telephone tone, the entire tower was almost boiling.

"It's coming! Here it comes! Our plane is coming! ”

"Shhhh

The comrades in the tower hurriedly remained silent one by one, but the excited expressions on everyone's faces almost overflowed, and everyone focused their eyes on the tower commander.
