While Lin Jun was still inspecting Stalingrad, the Soviet Air Force in Spain received a great gift from the "Condors": In an air battle that took place in the airspace north of the Harama River in Spain on 3 February, the 1st Fighter Group returning to Madrid shot down two Bf 109B fighters and forced the landing of one plane. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And the Messerschmitt 109, which landed in a forced landing, fell behind the artillery position of the republican ****, and was immediately controlled by the fighters of the nearby international column, and the hapless German pilot was captured alive.

Having received the news, Andlupuv and Yakov organized forces to secretly transport them to Valencia with men and planes, and the comrades of the international column had already done so before they thought of blocking the news. After a preliminary examination, it was found that the damage to this advanced fighter was not very serious, but only a few hydraulic lines and steel wires used for maneuvering were broken, and the captured German second lieutenant pilot confessed that he did not want to make a forced landing, because there was a rule from the upper authorities that this new fighter must not fall into the hands of the other side. But when the pilot tried to parachute after the plane was hit, he sadly found that the parachute bag under the seat had been broken into a sack by a shell!

In a life-or-death decision, the young pilot made a forced landing, and his plane had a spare incendiary grenade to prevent the plane from falling into enemy hands at the last minute. But before he could open the cockpit after the forced landing, several soldiers of the international column had already pointed their guns at him, and they had no choice but to surrender. It's not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he doesn't have the courage to burn with the plane, because there is a big guy with an obvious Asian face who quickly opened the cockpit, his movements are very skillful, and he also put a big knife on his neck, and the pilot was dragged out of the plane at this time because of the huge shock of the forced landing.

Wang Gang was already the commander of the artillery platoon of the international column, and when he saw the wounded rebel fighter flying near his position, he quickly called a few soldiers to rush to the landing site together.

After dragging the pilot out of the plane, Wang Gang found the incendiary grenade, and at that time he immediately made a decision, tied two more grenades to the green grenade, and threw them directly into the open space in the distance, and asked the soldiers to find and poke gasoline again, so that the fire caused by the explosion of the incendiary bombs could be burned again. After reporting to his superiors himself, he blocked the news here, and also informed the 1st Fighter Group stationed in Madrid.

And at this time the captain of the group was Sergei Ivanovich Grytzevets, everyone was an old acquaintance, and the news was immediately reported to Valencia. And this 109 was immediately covered with canvas and transported to Valencia, where after a brief inspection it was secretly loaded onto a cargo ship returning to the Soviet Union. 12 days later, the cargo ship arrived in Sevastopol, where it was transported as fast as possible to the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy in Moscow, where a group of generals and aircraft designers of the Soviet Air Force were already waiting for the "guest".

Lin Jun's decision to take the armored train back to Moscow frightened the comrades in Lower Tagil: they were not mentally prepared for this at all, and of course the comrades' opinions were "vulnerable" in front of Lin Jun, and in the end they could only agree with the inspectors' decision to take the armored train back to Moscow.

"How good this armored train is, it has heating and heavy fire protection, there is nothing safer and more convenient than taking it back to Moscow." -- Regarding the concerns of the comrades in Lower Tagil about the "safety" that they have always had on their return trip, Lin Jun gave this statement.

"This is definitely a luxury train, the favorite of the leading comrades!" This is Lin Jun's own idea, and taking it back is an absolute "pull wind" - few people can have this treatment.

On the same day, Lin Jun hurried to inspect all the departments to be visited, and in the evening held a coordination meeting, and the comrades from Nizhny Tagil sent them to the Ural Railway Carriage Factory early the next morning. When Lin Jun arrived at the factory, the No. 72 heavy armored train was ready to go, and the Bekryev gathered his soldiers and lined up at the side of the train to wait for Lin Jun's arrival.

"Salute all!" Bekryev ordered after seeing Lin Jun arrive.

"Comrade Andrei, all the officers and men of the heavily armored train No. 72 of the armored train unit of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, welcome Comrade Andrei to our train! Train commander and train conductor Bekryev. ”

"Take a break, thank you comrades for your welcome, everyone is in place and ready to go." Lin Jun said after returning the salute.

Lin Jun turned around to say goodbye to his comrades from the lower Tagil side, and when he shook hands with Yankrov and Pilega and said goodbye, Lin Jun said: "I hope we can meet again next time, and then we will go hunting together in the Ural Mountains." ”

"Definitely, next time Comrade Andrei comes to Sverdlovsk again, we will go to the mountains again, I will prepare a shotgun, Comrade Andrei will not need to hunt wild boars with a pistol then, hehe." Yancrov said.

"Okay, I'll definitely go next time."

At 8 a.m. on February 25, heavily armored train No. 72 left the Ural Railway Carriage Plant on time.

The train was to go west along the Trans-Siberian Railway, passing through Perm, Glazov, Kirov, Kotelnych, Ulen, Gorky and Vladimir, almost 1,700 kilometers to Moscow, and if the journey went well, the armored train would have reached Moscow on the morning of the 27th. After "dropping" Lin Jun, the train will continue west, passing through Smolensk and arriving in Minsk, Belarus.

Bekryev arranged Lin Jun in the command compartment and gave up his bunk to Lin Jun.

"Where do you sleep by yourself?" If you occupy someone's bed, you always have to "care".

"Just on the side row, there are still dozens of empty bunks on the train, and our train is not full yet, and it will not be replenished until Minsk."

"How many people are there in the car if it's full?" Lin Jun was not very clear about the staffing of the armored train.

"Our train will probably have about 220 people, which is more in the armored train, because we have more carriages and weapons, and the current staffing is the establishment before the modification, a total of 158 people, and the staffing of other armored trains that have not accepted the latest modification are also about 150 people."

Since Bekryev was going to direct the train to depart, Lin Jun let him be busy, and he ran to the back troop carriage to chat with the soldiers.

The train was newly "renovated", so the basic necessities were new, and the carriages smelled of fresh paint and blankets. In this place with a high concentration of "male animals", it is absolutely very rare to have such a smell, and of course it will be troublesome after a while.

Lin Jun's next time is either chatting with soldiers who are not on duty, or "hanging out" before and after running in the train. The conditions of this armored train are not comparable to those luxurious passenger car boxes, and the noise is not small, but it feels good to sit for a while.

Along the way, Bekryev also organized the train to conduct exercises without ammunition to exercise the train's "actual combat capability" while on the move.

Lin Jun asked him if there were many opportunities for live-fire drills on trains.

"Two or three exercises are conducted every year, each time a lot of ammunition is consumed, and the combat effectiveness of the armored train units has been maintained very well. Immediately after arriving in Minsk, a live-fire exercise was conducted to test the reliability of the newly installed weapons. ”

"It's a pity that I can't see the spectacle of your live firing." Lin Jun felt a little pity.

"There will definitely be an opportunity in the future, and our No. 72 train welcomes Comrade Andrei to inspect at any time."

"Hopefully, if I have time, I'll come to Minsk to have a look."

The journey back to Moscow was smooth and without any special troubles. In the early morning of February 27, Lin Jun arrived at the Moscow military train transfer station.

During the two days of the train, he was not idle except for "hanging out and chatting", and borrowed the typewriter on the train to get a "inspection" report of tens of thousands of words, which he originally wanted to write by hand, but it was impossible on the moving train.

As soon as Lin Jun arrived at the station, he was sent to the Kremlin by the special car waiting there, and the first thing Stalin said when he saw Lin Jun was: "Little Andrey, I have suffered a lot in this month." ”

To be honest, Stalin's father's general greetings moved Lin Jun a little: some people say that Stalin has always been iron-fisted, but for Lin Jun he is like a doting father, which makes Lin Jun's heart warm.

Lin Jun saluted and only said, "I'm back." ”

Lin Jun's answer made Stalin very satisfied, because he did not add his own name, "Little Andrei is good, it sounds kind like this." ”

Few people can understand the thoughts and feelings of people at the top of power, and all of Stalin's other "henchmen" call him "Comrade Stalin", and Lin Jun's "I am back" makes Stalin feel as if it is a junior who is saying to his parents, "I am home." ”

"The reason why we are in such a hurry to recall you to Moscow is because our troops in Spain made a forced landing of a German 109, and it is very intact, and it has now been secretly transported to Moscow, where it is placed at the Zhukov Academy, where technicians and experts are decomposing it."

"That's great! With this 109, we were able to design a new fighter against it, and its aerodynamic shape and engine construction were all things we could learn from. Lin Jun's mood at this time can be described as ecstatic.

"Their work efficiency is very high, just in the past few days it has been repaired to a flyable state, and the experts' opinion is that its aerodynamic shape is similar to our original latest design, and although the engine design is advanced, as you said the power is insufficient, but if the new high-power engine is replaced, its technical advantages will be more obvious than our existing fighters, and you can communicate with them when you go to the academy."

Stalin took a puff on his trademark large pipe and continued: "From the intelligence point of view, the Germans had no idea that their new fighter was already in our hands, thanks to the comrades of the Spanish International Column, who rushed to the scene to control the plane and the pilot at the first moment of the forced landing, and effectively blocked the news. The biggest contributor to this was one of their platoon commanders, who and his troops were the first to rush to the forced landing point, preventing the German pilots from destroying the plane with incendiary bombs, and also creating the illusion that the plane was on fire and exploding, which was very clever. The report you got back said that you also knew this platoon commander, a Chinese boy, and that you had taught him these measures to protect the plane when you were chatting with him in the past. ”

"This should be Comrade Gang-Wang, with whom I fought side by side in Madrid, a descendant of Chinese descent in Spain, a very good communist, and a very heroic fighter. I remained in Madrid for the time I was a guard after I was shot down, taught him a little about aviation in my free time, and I also learned a few words of Chinese from him. This young man is very good, a good lad. Lin Junzhen didn't expect it to be Wang Gang, and he still remembered some of the things he used to talk about. Lin Jun also simply took this opportunity to "reveal" a little bit about his "understanding" of Chinese.

"It's also good to learn a little more foreign language, and China has allies, so you should know that, and you can't tell when it will help you in your work. Moreover, I have ordered our comrades in Spain to award this young man the Order of the Red Banner, and he deserves such an honor for his contribution to the Soviets. (Expats can also receive the Order of the Red Banner, but in very small numbers.) ）

"Also, the young designers of our newest 301 Aviation Plant in Moscow designed a light fighter, and compared to the capture of the 109, our design is more advanced in aerodynamic form, and all that is missing is the right engine. The air-cooled aero engine designed by us has also made some breakthroughs during this time, and it is estimated that it will be equipped with a new fighter by the end of the year. With regard to the development of new fighters, the comrades of the Aviation Committee also made a new decision during this period: to let several design bureaus design them separately, so as to avoid a situation in which the design is irrational and the aircraft cannot be used, and when the time comes, two or three of the best fighters can be selected and put into mass production. ”

There is no opinion at all about what Stalin said about Lin Jun: this is what the Soviet Union did in history.

Seeing that Stalin stopped, Lin Jun spoke: "Then let me introduce you to the work during this time." ”

"Then you start with the situation in Kharkiv. Some time ago, they transported to Moscow for testing a good heavy tractor, and they also reported that they wanted to name it the "Vorosilov Warrior" type, which was very imposing and very much in line with the shape of this new type of tractor. ”

"I have also seen this tractor you mentioned in Kharkov, and its performance is really good, and it should be a successful design. At present, the development of new medium and heavy tanks of our army has already entered the track, and such a high-power special tractor will be needed at that time, and the latest 203-mm and 305-mm heavy guns currently in service with the artillery will also need it. ”

Of course, Lin Jun is indispensable to say good things for the comrades in Kharkov.

"I saw their newly designed T-32 medium tank in Kharkov this time, and it can be said that its design is more innovative than I expected. The only thing that was lacking now was a reliable transmission unit and a tank gun. They have formed a special public relations research team for the problem of the transmission device, and it is estimated that the problem can be solved in half a year at most; And about the tank gun, I would like to give you a special report. ”

Lin Jun said and took out a prepared document from the briefcase he was carrying.
