Sure enough, as Lin Jun expected, in the next two days, the rebel planes did not come to Madrid again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info What is terrifying on the battlefield is not the sound of gunfire, but the silent silence!

"When will the backup air force units arrive?!" This is something that Lin Jun is very worried about. Now that the rebels know that Madrid has two advanced fighters, they will definitely call for help from Germany and Italy in the fastest way. When the next air raid comes, these two planes of your own will basically not be enough for the enemy to plug his teeth!

For the air battle two days ago, Lin Jun and Andlupuv have already summed up. Those Junkers and CR32s were supposed to be piloted by the rebels' own pilots, not German or Italian volunteer pilots, because their technique and courage were simply too poor. It is expected that Franco's air force generals will also understand that their pilots and existing fighters are not opponents of the two I-16s, and will definitely ask Hitler for help. In this way, the entry of the "Condor" corps into Spain could be brought earlier.

The first air battle victory, one's own surprise attack and the enemy's paralysis had a lot to do with it. Moreover, some time ago, Madrid had no air defense forces, which made the rebel pilots very careless and arrogant, and as a result, they were in a big mess after being attacked by advanced fighters, which led to a 9-0 result. And when the enemy is ready, it will be a real bad battle!

The next battle is the real test of himself, and Lin Jun knows this very well.

What will be your own opponent below? It was supposed to be Henschel-51 and SM-81, and it was most likely the JG88 wing of the "Condor" regiment that flew them, but now they came to Spain, that is, Henschel-51 with only two wings, which was on their advantage. But some of the "vultures" are veterans of the Great War, and they are not easy to deal with! To be honest, Lin Jun himself still has a great psychological obstacle to the Bf109B that will appear at the end of the year, compared to the Yi 16 in his hand, its advantages are obvious, of course, the premise is that it is an excellent pilot of the German army who flies it. But there is no need to worry about its threat for the time being, and now Dr. Messerschmidt is busy installing weapons on several of his prototypes, and the 109, which has just made a splash at the Berlin Olympics, still needs to be put to the final tests.

When talking to Andlupuv about the course of the air battle, both men talked about the issue of the distance of attack. In the last air battle, shooting generally began at about 300 meters, and the effect was not very good. There is no other way to deal with bombers, the threat of the opponent's turret machine gun is there, but for fighters, the attack range can be closer, so the shooting effect will be better.

Andlupuf also talked about the potential threat he feared, namely the possibility that the Germans would send volunteer pilots to Spain. Andlupuf had dealt with German pilots, and when he was an instructor at the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy, many German pilots came to study at the academy, and in his opinion, those young people had the potential to become real air killers, not to mention the few old birds who had experienced the First World War!

Of course, Lin Jun knew about the threat of the German army, but he couldn't say it yet, and some secrets could only be kept in his heart forever. In order to cheer up his brother, Lin Jun said: "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!" ”

On the fourth day of arriving in Madrid, Lin Jun and Andlupf, as usual, began to stand by the fighter jets before dawn. While they were having breakfast, Grande came over and told them the news that the latest artillery battalion of the International Column was going to be trained at the airport, because the environment was suitable for their training, but it would not affect Lin Jun and them.

Madrid airport is very large, and now there are only two planes stationed there, so there is a huge amount of open space that is unused. Moreover, the artillery battalion is training on the edge of the airport, even if the follow-up plane arrives, it will not be affected, Lin Jun of course they have no opinion.

Lin Jun is very unfamiliar with artillery, so he is still thinking that he can take a look at it when he can be separated, so that he can learn what he doesn't understand. At noon that day, they saw the artillery unit enter the airfield, numbering about 500 people, but there were very few guns. This is still an under-equipped artillery battalion, and the training is supposed to be in preparation for the artillery that will receive Soviet aid in the future.

The day passed in calm again, and when night fell, Lin Jun walked alone towards the garrison of the artillery unit.

The sentry at the artillery station saw a person dressed as a pilot coming over, and the pilot had a shining gold medal on his chest, he knew that this was the "Defender of the Republic", so he saluted Lin Jun and smiled friendly.

"Comrade Sentinel, can I go in and have a look?" Lin Jun said after returning the salute.

The sentry said a long time, but Lin Jun found that he didn't communicate at all, because he couldn't understand the sentinel's language at all, and his Russian sentry didn't understand a word. Lin Jun didn't know that what the sentry said was: "Hello, Comrade Pilot." Our battalion commander said that if you want to come and visit, you can just go in and don't need to report it. ”

Fortunately, this sentry is also a smart person, he found that the pilot in front of him should want to take a look at the station, and the two people did not understand the language, so he simply learned the method of the hotel waiter and made a gesture of please.

At this time, Lin Jun understood, thanked him, and walked into the station regardless of whether he understood it or not.

Seeing that there were some people talking in front of several old large-caliber guns, he walked towards them, hoping that among them there were people who knew Russian. These cannons are supposed to be old Soviet-made 1909/1930 152mm howitzers, which is also one of several old guns that Lin Jun knows, and it should be something that was sold to Spain before the war.

"This is a high and low machine, which is here to adjust the angle and range of artillery. Of course, you are now the fifth gunner, and your responsibility is to carry the shell warhead, which you will not need for the time being. "Someone is there to teach recruits about artillery.

The ordinary conversation made Lin Jun freeze in place. I felt my nose sour, and tears flowed uncontrollably, "How long has it been?" Two years or a whole life? ”

Because the person was speaking in Chinese.

The people on the side of the artillery had already seen Lin Jun, a stranger, and the person who had just spoken seemed to be still tall and walked towards Lin Jun.

Lin Jun hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, so as not to let the family see it. Only then did I see the appearance of the person who came, a Chinese in his forties, wearing a grass-green military uniform with the rank of colonel.

Before Lin Jun could salute, the colonel saluted first, "Hello, brave comrade pilot!" Welcome to the 1st Artillery Battalion of the International Column, I am the acting battalion commander Wei Jin Xie. We have all heard about your heroic deeds. ”

He speaks Russian fluently.

Lin Jun hurriedly returned the salute, but he held back for a long time before he said: "I am Andrei Nikolayevich Plunyakov, a pilot of the Soviet Volunteer Air Force." Hello, Comrade Xie Weijin. ”

"You know Chinese?!" Xie Weijin was very surprised, because the Soviet pilot in front of him said that the previous sentence was Russian, but the latter sentence turned out to be Chinese, although he spoke very stiffly, but it was indeed Chinese. And the Soviet guy in front of him still knows the name habits of the Chinese, and must know China very well.

At this time, Lin Jun's psychology was like opening a Baiwei bottle, and he couldn't say what it tasted like. I haven't spoken or thought in my native language for too long, and the pronunciation is so strange. And it's just 7 people, and the mouth almost can't turn around!

Andrei's body has never spoken a word of Chinese, and although Lin Jun has occupied his body for two years, his body can't adapt to the pronunciation of Chinese, which is forced. Now I can really understand why those foreigners speak Chinese so strangely, there is no way, the human vocal organs can't accept it at once.

"Yes, only a little bit."

"What an accident to meet a Soviet comrade who understands Chinese in Spain!" Xie Weijin was also very surprised, "Wang Gang, come here, this Soviet comrade knows Chinese!" He beckoned a strong man in his 20s.

"Comrade Andre, this is Wang Gang, a descendant of Chinese in Europe, and an enterprising young man."

"Hello, Comrade Andrey." This is a young man taller than Lin Jun, who was very tall among the Chinese at that time, no wonder he would come to be an artilleryman.

"Hello, Comrade Wang Gang. Both, my Chinese is really poor, please understand. Lin Jun felt that what he said was very difficult.

"What you said is already very good, better than the translation I met when I was in the Soviet Union." Xie Weijin could hear that although this Andre was very difficult to speak, and his words were not accurate, the way and content of his expression were completely Chinese expressions, and there was no mistake, which was very rare.

At this time, other artillery comrades also gathered around, and Xie Weijin introduced Lin Jun to everyone in Spanish: "This is Comrade Andrei, the air defender of Madrid. ”

Everyone was greeting Andrei, even though he didn't understand it at all.

"This battalion is composed of comrades from all over Europe who believe in justice and communism, and basically all of them know a little Spanish, so they are all together." Xie Weijin introduced Lin Jun in Russian.

"Let's go to my office and have a good talk." Xie Weijin asked the others to continue training and familiarize themselves with the equipment, and called Wang Gang to invite Lin Jun to his office with him.

His office is in a row of old-fashioned bungalows that used to be an airport utility room, and now an old desk has been added to it.

"Comrade Andrey, it's really unexpected, I didn't expect you to know Russian, I don't know where you learned?"

"Oh, it turns out that there is a family near our house that is a Chinese immigrant who learned from them when I was young." Lin Jun said a little embarrassed, but he could only find such a reason.

"Comrade Andrey, can you learn so well in this way?! 、、、、、、 "Wang Gang, this young man, is very curious.

"Comrade Andrey, will there be other comrades from the Soviet Air Force coming to Spain?" Xie Weijin interrupted the young man's questioning and changed the subject, he knew that everyone had secrets.

"Soon, as far as I know, soon a large number of Air Force comrades will come to Spain, as well as planes and supplies. In addition, the supporting army equipment will also arrive soon. ”

"Well, we're training for the aid artillery we're going to receive. There are too few people who are tech-savvy now, so they are stepping up their training. I, the battalion commander, was also temporary, and now the international column is too short of manpower. Xie Weijin's words were a bit heavy, because there were many comrades who came to Spain, but there were too few people who were familiar with war and knew combat techniques.

Lin Jun also remembered who this Xie Weijin was, he was the artillery political commissar of the later International Column, a famous communist fighter in the Spanish Civil War!
