Chapter 909: Chuck

Inch grass swaying with the wind, the grassland is a green six Compared with the green grassland, the green on the airport looks a little mottled, due to the frequent take-off and landing of aircraft, the airport is full of friction traces of the wheels that can be seen everywhere, the grass that is deliberately trimmed is cut into pieces, the closer to the apron, the heavier the traces of friction, the loess under the grass roots is clearly visible, the wind together, the dust flies, therefore, when the plane takes off or lands, The airfield was gray and cloudy, which was obviously not conducive to the pilot's observation of the runway, and the renovation of the airfield was imperative.

The airfield is now undergoing modern renovation and refurbishment, and the engineering team is responsible for dividing the apron into several areas and building several real oil runways in them to ensure the safety of heavy aircraft take-off and landing, in addition to some real hangars are also being built once they are completed. Fighters and bombers do not have to endure the wind and sun in the wind and sand all day long, which is very beneficial for the maintenance of fighters and bombers.

So far, the airfield has completed the construction of a runway that is 1,000 meters long and can guarantee the take-off and landing of any heavy aircraft, and now, while the engineering troops in the distance are still busy building other runways, a medium bomber is hovering in the sky and quickly enters the landing course, and finally lands on the completed oil runway. This is a "Kingfisher." medium bomber. The all-metal structure, double lower single wing, is the crystallization of the top technology and design ideas of China's aviation industry, although it is only an experimental aircraft. It was not really mass-produced, but since this new aircraft entered the Wehrmacht units for trial, almost everyone who saw it at first sight was impressed by this medium bomber, the biggest feature of this aircraft is its flight degree, which is much faster than ordinary bombers, so. In many cases, this "Kingfisher" medium bomber was also used to perform transport missions, in peacetime. This is perhaps the most frequent mission performed by this aircraft.

With the addition of prototypes, there were only more than 20 "Kingfisher" medium bombers, most of which were equipped with the Northwest Air Force, and only a small number were equipped with the Northeast Air Force, the South China Air Force, and the Southwest Air Force.

Now, the "Kingfisher" medium bomber, which has landed at this airfield, belongs to the Northeast Air Force, which can be proved by its tail number, but the other number on the tail shows its special status, and now it is also under the direct command of the War Department Air Force.

After landing on the runway, the Kingfisher taxied until the end of the runway before turning around, then the engine turned off, and then the bomb bay door of the plane was opened from the inside, and several officers in army uniforms jumped from the bomb bay onto the runway, although they were all wearing leather jackets. Wearing a flight cap, but the face was still red, and the cold at high altitude really impressed them.

Among several officers, the highest rank is Xu Shuzheng, and his position is also the highest. Right now! He is not only the head of the Northwest Frontier Office. He is also the highest military and political governor in Outer Mongolia. He was in charge of all military affairs on the steppe, and even had some administrative powers.

Here, it is Kyakhta, a city near the northern border of Outer Mongolia, and it is also a border city between China and Russia. Xu Shuzheng specially applied to the Ministry of War to send him a plane, and he wanted to take a plane back to Outer Mongolia, and the result was. The War Department handed over the plane directly under the Ministry of War to Xu Shuzheng, which also shows the importance that the army chief attaches to Xiao Xu.

The plane first went to Kulun, the administrative center of Outer Mongolia. After staying for a while, Xu Shuzheng immediately took the plane to rush to this Kyakhta.

Kyakhta, also known as the "buying and selling city" by the merchants, has this nickname, mainly because it is an important transit point for Sino-Russian border trade, since the Qing court in the second Opium War after the official identification of Kyakhta as a Sino-Russian treaty port, this border city after more than half a century of exhibition, has now become the hub of foreign trade in the entire Outer Mongolia region, and more importantly, a branch line of the Trans-Siberian Railway passes through here. and stretch all the way south to Zhangjiakou, therefore. Kyakhta became more and more prosperous, but the scale of the city remained small, because the Russians did not want this city in China to exhibit, so they kept restricting the city's exhibition through the princes of Outer Mongolia.

But now the situation is different, since the outbreak of the Russian revolution and the civil war, the Russian power in Kyakhta has declined immediately, and soon after, the Chinese defense forces were ordered to march into Kulen, and in one fell swoop eliminated the separatist forces entrenched in the region. Having safeguarded the territorial integrity of the country and taking advantage of the chaotic situation in Russia, it quickly controlled the situation in the entire Outer Mongolian steppe, and now the Chinese National Defense Forces have heavy troops stationed in Kyakhta, Kulen, Uriya Sutai, Tangnu Ulianghai and other places. Under this situation, the Russian power, which had previously dominated the region of Outer Mongolia, quickly faded like ice and snow in the sun.

Xu Shuzheng arrived in Kyakhta on the orders of the president, and he was received by the president in Beijing a few days ago, and he exchanged views with the president on the current situation on the northern border between China and Russia. Now, Xu Shuzheng is being ordered to inspect the northern border defense. And necessary for the Russian Civil War

Pre.

The current situation in the north is very favorable for China, since the tsarist government of the Russian Empire reported the relocation of the port of Baikal on the shores of Lake Baikal. The overall situation of the Russian civil war was basically settled, and the tsarist government, which had rebelled against its relatives, was only a remnant of its breath, and the Russian revolutionary government could wipe out this group of "rebels" who stubbornly adhered to the tsarist system at any time, as long as China did not send troops to intervene.

However, in President Zhaoda's view, it is not yet the time for the complete collapse of the tsarist government, and from the perspective of China's national interests, Mr. President still needs the tsarist government to continue to breathe for a while, and it is precisely for this reason that Xu Shuzheng was ordered to rush to Kyakhta. Directing the defense of the region, and inspecting the situation on the border on the spot, and carrying out intervention actions against Russia for the center.

After jumping from the bomb bay of a bomber onto the runway. Xu Shuzheng took off the leather jacket he was wearing on his upper body. Put it on your arm, and then rush to the airport headquarters with the staff officers who followed. I plan to first examine the combat readiness of the Air Force.

Now the tsarist government built a defensive line in the northern port of Baikal, where the Far Eastern Army was deployed. The Chinese commander of the Far East Army, Zhang Zongchang, sent telegrams to the Chinese central government again and again, asking for air force assistance, otherwise the tsarist government's troops would be completely demoralized under the air attack of the air forces of the Russian Provisional Government.

Before Xu Shuzheng was ordered to rush to Kyakhta, the president had already issued an order for the strategic transfer of fighter units and bomber units through the Air Force Command. There is a squadron of heavy bombers, and the commander who led this squadron of heavy bombers is the bomber unit that was in the Lushun air raid is still equipped with an improved model of the old "vulture" heavy bomber, so when he learned that a new "kingfisher, a small bomber" landed at the airport, he immediately rushed to the runway with his subordinates, wanting to see with his own eyes how mysterious this all-metal bomber is.

After seeing the plane, Qin Bing rushed to the conference room, and at this time, the military meeting presided over by Xu Shuzheng had already started for a few minutes, Xu Shuzheng was very unhappy about Qin Bing's lateness, and reprimanded him unceremoniously. After Xu Linzheng finished his husband, he sat down at the conference table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I might as well make it clear to you here that for the Russian civil war, the central side is very concerned about the development of the situation, and the president is also very concerned, before coming to Kyakhta, the president personally told me that it is necessary to ensure that the tsarist government fights longer and consumes Russia longer.

Now, telegrams were being sent from the tsarist government. I asked for support from our Air Force, and that is why the President decided to form a volunteer flying force, which I have full command of, from now on. All of you here are my direct subordinates, and if there is anything in the future, tell me directly, and there is no need to go through the Air Force Command, and now the War Department and the Navy Department are negotiating with the Air Force Command about the reorganization, so there is no need to distract them, since the President has appointed me as the military and political chief of Outer Mongolia, then. I am the supreme commander of the Russian military here. ”

When Xu Shuzheng said the last few words, his tone was much heavier, which made the officers present somewhat jealous, and many officers also understood Xu Shuzheng's character, so they didn't intend to question Xu Shuzheng's authority, but they were a little strange in their hearts, and they didn't know how the center planned to intervene in this Russian civil war.

Xu Shuzheng's next remarks somewhat dispelled the concerns of the air force officers, and it turned out that the military and political chief of Outer Mongolia did not intend to let his subordinates serve in the army of the Russian tsarist government, depending on what he meant. It seems that it was intended to use Kyakhta as an air base for the Air Force. From here fighters and bombers took off to assist the tsarist army in the northern port of Baikal.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Russian civil war is now raging, and the troops of the Provisional Government are rapidly approaching the port of Baikal. On the one hand, we will send a number of fighters with better performance to the tsarist army so that they can defend themselves against the enemy's aerial bombardment, and on the other hand, our bomber units will also paint the emblem of the Russian Empire on the fuselage and fight as the Far East Corps of the tsarist army, carry out an air blockade of the logistics line of the Russian Provisional Government army, and assist the tsarist army in combat.

Taking into account the range, the bomber unit will take off from Kyakhta to carry out a focused bombing of the railway line and road network north of the port of Baikal, out of secrecy, even if the plane is shot down and the pilot parachutes and is captured, it cannot be said that you are Chinese servicemen, you can only say that you are volunteers who joined the Far Eastern Army, and you must firmly deny that our ** side directly involved in the Russian civil war. Xu Shuzheng carefully admonished, and then. The strategic discussion ended with a request to ask the Air Force officers if there was anything they didn't understand.

Qin Bing stood up first and asked.

"The Kingfisher on that runway." Are bombers also part of the team? ”

Xu Shuzheng shook his head and said, "That plane is the special plane of the army chief, and the interior has been modified, so it is not suitable for bombing missions. However, you can also rest assured that the bomber unit participated in the war this time, and the center planned to take this opportunity to train troops. So, the "Kingfisher-type bomber will also go to war, and in a few days, the North-Western Air Force and the North-East Air Force" Kingfisher. will fly over, then. You can have a good exchange

Hearing this, Qin Bing immediately sat back, and then did not ask any questions, indeed, for an air force technical officer like him, the most important thing is not the formulation of strategy, but the performance of flight equipment, on this issue, he never dared to be sloppy, after all, the "Kingfisher" is a kind of bomber that has never been on the battlefield, whether the combat performance is as impressive as that appearance. It is still unknown that this bomber needs to be tested in real combat, and this air force volunteer unit may become the first Chinese air force unit to use this bomber in real combat.
