On the afternoon of September 10, 1937, the first batch of 12 Yi-16 fighters of a squadron departing from Wuhan at noon appeared over Nanjing after a transition of nearly 500 kilometers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lin Jun did not let the Chinese personnel lead the way, because if he did, he would have to wait for the bomber unit that had just departed from Xi'an, which would waste at least one day. Moreover, in front of Lin Jun and them, there are already transport planes to transport a small number of ground crew and materials to Nanjing, and there will be no situation where there is no ground crew and supplies after the transfer.

Lin Jun took the initiative to take on the pilot task of this transition, but of course his voluntary efforts were opposed by both the Chinese side and the Volunteer Air Force. Lin Jun had to go through all the landmarks along the way in detail for this transition, and he didn't look at the aeronautical chart at all, and repeated the pilot code words in Chinese several times. Lin Jun in his previous life was very familiar with this route, and had more than ten transfer experiences, although there will be some changes in the landmarks after a few decades, but those mountains and rivers will not change, and there are aviation charts to guide it, it is difficult to get lost.

The general consultant's "super long play" and unexpected Chinese language ability surprised everyone, especially for the people received by the Chinese side: it is not surprising that the aeronautical coordinates are familiar, and there are detailed aeronautical charts to prepare; But the Soviet officer's proficiency in Chinese has to be strange!

"I know your Kong Xiangxi and Vice President Kong, what is so strange about knowing Chinese, and besides, I used to have a guard who was Chinese." For other people's questions, Lin Jun answered them easily.

In the absence of a better way, it was decided that he would personally fly the plane as the navigator, and the squadron leader would be Prokofiev, the deputy commander of the fighter group.

Through the cockpit glass, Lin Jun looked at the city of Nanjing a thousand meters below, and his heart felt as if he had opened a five-flavor bottle: below was the land where he was born and raised, and this place was less than 350 kilometers away from his hometown. They will fight for their homeland, but in this era when ground warfare plays a decisive role, it will be difficult to turn the situation around with victory in the air.

"Ancient Nanjing City, how many days can I hold on for you?"

、、、、、、

The headset kept the sound of music from Nanjing's terrestrial radio as a navigation signal, but now Lin Jun and the other pilots in the squadron no longer needed to rely on it as a guide: the Daxiaochang Airport was right in front of them.

Turning on the intercom, Lin Jun called in Chinese: "Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest, I'm Shenlong, I'm Shenlong, request to land." ”

"I'm the Eagle's Nest, I'm the Eagle's Nest, allowed to land, allowed to land."

Lin Jun did not expect that a grand welcome ceremony was prepared at the airport for the first batch of combat units of the Soviet Union Air Force to Aid China to arrive in Nanjing, and in the welcoming crowd, Lin Jun saw two "old acquaintances" - Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing. Lin Jun also recognized Zhou Zhirou, director of the Aviation Committee of the National Government and commander-in-chief of the former enemy command of the Air Force, in the crowd.

"Andre, I heard that you led the team to Nanjing, and you came non-stop for your brother, and I am happy for my brother!" As soon as Lin Jun got out of the cockpit, Kong Xiangxi gave Lin Jun a bear hug with no grace.

Although everyone's ideology is different, the attitude to fighting the Japanese devils is the same. After receiving Kong Xiangxi's "improved version" of the bear hug, Lin Jun "ruthlessly" returned him a "genuine" bear hug, but Lao Kong was overwhelmed.

After the separation, the personnel of the two sides introduced each other, and the Chinese side as the introducer was of course Kong Xiangxi, and Lin Jun also introduced the first batch of Soviet fighter pilots who arrived in Nanjing.

While the two sides were still introducing each other, the Soviet ground crews who had arrived early were already inspecting the planes and refueling the fighter jets with their Chinese counterparts who were working with them.

For Zhou Zhirou, director of the Aviation Committee of the National Government, Lin Jun could only be polite - although he was an enemy in history, the interests of the nation were above all else.

"Lao Kong, how is the current battle situation?" Lin Jun didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked directly about the battle situation.

"To be honest, it's not very good. In the direction of Shanghai, the battle between our army and the Japanese army has entered a white-hot stage, and according to reconnaissance reports, the Japanese army has landed in large numbers in the Songhu area and is currently encircling Shanghai. Moreover, the construction of land airfields by the Japanese army in the areas already occupied will put a huge strain on our air force. ”

Lin Jun knew that Japan did not have an independent air force during the war of aggression against China. The so-called "Japanese Air Force" is actually an air force belonging to the Japanese Army and Navy. Prior to the Pacific War, the invading Japanese Army Air Force was mainly responsible for supporting and coordinating operations with its ground forces, while the Naval Air Force was responsible for long-range attacks on military, political, and economic targets in the Chinese rear and annihilating the living forces of the Chinese Air Force. The bombing of Nanking was mainly carried out by the Japanese naval air force, so they would face an opponent who would be equipped with Japan's most advanced Type 96 carrier-based fighters at the time. After the completion of the airfield built by the Japanese army in the Songhu area, the Japanese Navy's planes will be able to attack China's urban and rural areas in the vicinity without having to depart from the Japanese mainland, Taiwan bases, or aircraft carriers, and will be able to avoid pilot fatigue and a large amount of fuel consumption caused by long-distance flights.

"Andrey, the specific situation will be briefed on by General Zhou Zhirou, commander-in-chief of our Air Force's former enemy command and director of the Aviation Committee."

Zhou Zhirou told Lin Jun that although the Chinese Air Force had achieved relatively huge results, it had also suffered heavy losses, that the existing fighter force could no longer guarantee air safety, and that the sky in the Songhu area had been basically controlled by Japanese aircraft.

Zhou Zhirou's introduction made Lin Jun feel the severity of the situation again: just now he found out in the air that Nanjing had been bombed by the Japanese army, and the current Daxiaochang airfield has very few fighters.

After urgent negotiations with Zhou Zhirou, the Soviet planes were to station two fighter squadrons and all bombers in Nanjing, and the other two fighter squadrons (including the fully manned "reserve" squadron) were stationed at the outpost Jurong airfield in Nanjing. Lin Jun set up his headquarters in the colonel's factory.

Before nightfall that day, another fighter squadron and transport aircraft flew to the colonel's factory, led by Andlupf, and Vukinskaya also arrived at the same time with Lin Jun's "luggage", along with Lin Jun's three entourage. As soon as the plane landed, it was hidden nearby, because Japanese planes sometimes attacked Nanjing at night.

After Lin Jun handed over the command to Andlupf, he took his entourage and his wife, accompanied by Kong Xiangxi, Song Ailing and Zhou Zhirou, to visit "Lao Jiang".

Lin Jun and Kong Xiangxi were in a car, while Song Ailing accompanied Vukinskaya, and Zhou Zhirou "lost his identity" and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"General Andrei, I didn't expect you to be able to speak fluent Chinese, I really didn't expect it." Zhou Zhirou's title of Lin Jun's "general" made Lin Jun a little uncomfortable, because he was the first to call himself a general.

Lin Jun replied in his awkward-sounding Chinese: "When I was in England, Vice President Kong was also very strange, because my guards and a good friend in Spain were Chinese, so I learned some. ”

"Andre, it's appropriate for you to call me Lao Kong, and General Zhou is not an outsider."

When he heard Lin Jun call himself "Vice President Kong", Kong Xiangxi was a little unhappy. It's not because of the word "vice", but it sounds a little raw.

"André is my little brother and helped us a lot when we were in England. This time, on the issue of the Soviet Union's assistance, Andrei also made a great effort, and if it weren't for me, my little brother, things might not have gone so smoothly. Andrei, I really didn't expect that you would lead the team to China. When I knew that the chief consultant was you, I didn't sleep for a few days! ”

Kong Xiangxi said a little exaggerated, and Lin Jun had to express it. Lin Jun has no good impression of the head of one of the "Four Majors", but it is currently a period of unanimous anti-Japanese war, and he must put the fight against Japanese devils in the first place.

"You also know, I like to fight on the front line, but unfortunately this time I came as an adviser, Comrade Stalin did not let me be the commander-in-chief of the Air Force to aid China, I wanted to be on the front line, but now I can only stay on the ground."

As soon as he heard Lin Jun's words, Zhou Zhirou spoke: "We have long heard that General Andrei is one of the pillars of the Soviet Union. ”

"Andrey, Nanjing's air defense depends on you. Your wife moved to live with me, and I was relatively safe there, and Vuginskaya and Ai Ling were right. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved that Kaya is at my brother's, and it's not convenient to have her alone at the airport."

Lin Jun knew that others would think that he brought his wife to China for personal gain, but he didn't know his suffering: "Don't hide it from the two of you, my wife and I came to China not for any other special reason, but the chief faction was "watching" by me. Comrade Stalin knew that I would go to the front line as soon as I was excited, and let my wife come to see me. ”

Listening to Lin Jun's words, Kong Xiangxi and Zhou Zhirou couldn't help but laugh.

"This little brother of mine is a ruthless character, not only shot down 10 opponents' planes, but also participated in white-knuckle battles, and cut down more than a dozen Moroccans who are proficient in knife skills!" Kong Xiangxi said a little elated, and kept putting gold on Lin Jun's face, but it sounded as if these achievements were his.

"General Andrei, you are comparable to the most powerful broadsword team member of our Northwest Army! Awesome! ”

Hearing Lin Jun's glorious deeds, Zhou Zhirou also had to admire.

"Lao Kong exaggerated, only nine were cut down, and not all of them were Moroccan knifemen, and a few were rookie eggs with bayonets."

But whether it's a rookie or not, a fighter who dares to participate in a white-knuckle battle and cut down nine opponents is respected wherever he is. And the most surprising thing is that this man is a pilot.

"General Andrei, I didn't expect you to be not only an ace in the air, but also a lion on the ground, a master of swordsmanship. I wonder what kind of knife technique you are learning? "People who haven't learned knife skills can have such a record, even if they kill Zhou Zhirou, he doesn't believe it.

"I used to learn some Cossack knife techniques, and later when I was in Spain, my guard taught me a set of his family knife techniques, and he is a descendant of Chinese in Europe, so I should say that I know Chinese knife techniques."

"Andre, I really didn't expect you to know Chinese sword skills!" This time, Kong Xiangxi also arrived strangely.

"The guard's name is Wang Gang, a descendant of the Chinese Ming royal guards, but he has already died. He not only taught me his family's ancestral knife skills, but also gave me the ancestral knife he wore before his sacrifice, which was a royal knife given by the Ming Emperor. It's a pity that he died in his 20s. Wang Gang is a good brother, and he deserves the title of "Descendant of the Dragon"! ”

Speaking of Wang Gang, Lin Jun was a little emotional.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a story in General Andrei. General Andrey, I see a Chinese dragon pattern on your landline, I guess it has something to do with this Wang Gang brother? Zhou Zhirou's imagination is also rich.

"Yes, General Zhou. Wang Gang told me that the dragon is the lord of the sky in Chinese legends, and Wang Gang is my good brother, a hot-blooded man! If he had not died, he would have returned to his homeland to participate in the battle against the Japanese. I drew the golden dragon on the plane, as if he had been fighting with me, fulfilling his last wish. This time, I also brought Wang Gang's treasure sword, but it seems that I can't use it to kill the enemy. ”

Lin Jun's straightforwardness won the favor of Kong Xiangxi and Zhou Zhirou, and his speech became less "scene-like".

"General Andrei, you are the most peculiar Western officer I have ever seen." Zhou Zhirou said that in his eyes, the Soviet Union was also a Western country, and the dress of this General Andrei was also very interesting: a gorgeous uniform, a medal full of medals, and a saber that was not only gorgeous but also represented this right and honor - he had also seen officers from other Western countries who were wearing similar clothes, but they did not fail to carry two pistols and six spare magazines, one of which looked like a Mauser 1932 submachine pistol, and this huge pistol even had a gold wire inlay pattern.

"This General Andrei is not only a showman, but also ten strange people." ――This is what Zhou Zhirou had when she saw Lin Jun after changing clothes before getting into the car.

"Hehe, General Zhou must think that my sidearm is too special, right?"

"Hehe, General Andrey, don't be angry if I'll tell you the truth: in terms of the way you match your guns, you are more like a company commander in our Chinese army, and they often wear a German Mauser submachine gun, but your guns are more beautiful than theirs."

"Of course you won't be angry, General Zhou, this Mauser Model 1932 submachine pistol is a good thing, invincible in close combat! We pilots can't carry powerful self-defense weapons with us, and this guy is the best companion. It's just that my Mauser is not from Germany, it is a limited edition produced by the Astra-Onsetto factory in Spain, and I thought the original wooden box was inconvenient to carry, so I made a new holster. Speaking of which, I would like to thank a great painter for giving me this gun as a souvenir from Mr. Picasso of Spain, otherwise I would not have been able to get such a good gun. Because he was talking to Kong Xiangxi and Zhou Zhirou now, Lin Jun used the title of "sir" when talking about Picasso.

"I really didn't expect that General Andrei's gun was given by Mr. Picasso." Zhou Zhirou had to sigh again.

"General Zhou, I want to wait until all our bomber units arrive, and then we will devote ourselves to air raids on the Japanese troops in the Songhu area."

"General Andrei, it's up to you when the time comes. It is better to destroy the airfield under construction by the Japanese army and the distribution center of the Japanese army's supplies. ”

"I think we can also include Japanese warships and transport ships in the Yangtze River, Huangpu River, and Hangzhou Bay as targets. This time, we brought a batch of 200-kilogram armor-piercing bombs specially designed to bomb warships, and our Yi-16 fighters can be used as dive bombers. ”

Lin Jun is not afraid of leaks, anyway, everyone will know when the time comes.

"General Andrey, I learned from the news from the airport in the northwest that you have brought a batch of very special aerial bombs this time, which no one in our air force has ever seen."

Zhou Zhirou's words made Kong Xiangxi, who didn't know much about it, also interested: "Andre, what good things did you bring?" ”

"This is our latest secret weapon, but soon it will not be a secret, and those Japanese will know how powerful it is!" Lin Jun saw that Kong Xiangxi and Zhou Zhirou both showed some strange expressions, and knew that they might have misunderstood: "Don't worry, these weapons do not violate the Geneva Conventions, they are neither poison gas bombs nor bacteriological bombs, and those toys can only be used by those barbaric and inhumane Japanese pigs." We brought with us a new type of incendiary bomb called the ****** of Condensation, but we privately like to call it "Purgatory", which is so terrifying that any target can be charred by it except for a particularly strong fortress. ”

"General Andrei, listen to the name of the surface lethal weapon with gasoline as the main ingredient?"

"Yes, General Zhou, if an ordinary reinforced concrete building is hit by it, being burned to the ruins is the only result, because its flames can even burn through the concrete. If it is a person on the position, whether it is hiding in the trenches or on the attacking side, as long as it is hit, it can only be burned to charcoals. Moreover, after it explodes, the combustion components inside will be scattered and splashed in a large area, as long as a person is stained with a little napalm burning in it during the explosion, even if it rolls on the sand, it will not be extinguished, and it will only be covered with fire. Ordinary aerial bombs are nothing compared to it, so we like to call it "purgatory". It's just right to give those inhuman Japanese pigs a taste. ”

Kong Xiangxi and Zhou Zhirou were furious by Lin Jun's introduction: This kind of bomb is too inhumane, right!? Although Kong Xiangxi does not understand aerial bombs, he has also seen the tragic situation after being bombed in Nanjing during this time, if it is really like what Andre said, then the terrifying power of this kind of bomb is unimaginable. And Zhou Zhirou originally knew more about aviation technology, although he was not an expert, but listening to Lin Jun's words, he could imagine the result after being hit by this kind of incendiary bomb.

"General Andrei, as far as I know, this type of incendiary bomb is not available in other countries."

"Of course not, because I invented it." Lin Junyi "erased" the merits of those Soviet bomb experts, but what he said was not unreasonable: he proposed the doctrine and original formula for developing solidified ******.

Kong Xiangxi and Zhou Zhirou, who got out of the car, were even more "impressed" by Lin Jun: the person who could come up with such a terrifying weapon was either a genius or a madman, and this Andre may be both.

Ace pilots, heroes of white-knuckle warfare, inventors of weapons lacking humanism - what would this be, if not a combination of genius and madness?!

、、、、、、

During the ****** meeting, Lao Chiang gave the young general adviser of the Soviet military regiment to China a considerable courtesy: before Lin Jun arrived, he ****** informed the comrades of the security personnel outside: General Andrei could enter with a gun. In this meeting, Lin Jun used an interpreter, Vukinskaya, and the Jiang lady, Song Meiling, was of course the translator of Lao Jiang.

I knew that the Soviet officer in front of me could speak Chinese, but in such a relatively formal occasion, it was appropriate to use a translator - but a strange phenomenon still appeared: ******before Song Meiling's words could be translated into English, Lin Jun here was already answering in Russian.

This made Lin Sen, Kong Xiangxi, Song Ailing and Zhou Zhirou, the chairmen of the National Government who were also there, a little "weird". But you can also understand that diplomacy is like that.

expressed Lin Jun's contribution to the aid, thanked the Soviet pilots for coming, and routinely said something about the friendship between the two countries; Lin Jun here also sent Stalin's greetings to him on his behalf.

In a word: the meeting was spent in a friendly atmosphere.

Since Lin Jun and the others had not yet eaten dinner, Lao Jiang set up a banquet to entertain them.

Because there were female dependents attending the banquet, and some military matters had already been discussed, and with Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing "mediating" from them, the atmosphere of the banquet was relatively relaxed. The only thing that made Lin Jun a little "dissatisfied" was that the banquet was a regular Western food, although he knew that he was taking care of his own people, but relatively speaking, he would rather have a bowl of shredded meat noodles - Lin Jun hadn't eaten shredded meat noodles for a few years, if he didn't give shredded meat noodles, he would just come to a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice!

At the end of the feast, the host asked as a matter of routine, "What else do you need?" ”

Lin Jun here is also funny: "I heard that Yangzhou fried rice is very distinctive, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

Lin Jun's incomprehensible words made everyone stunned, "Of course, Yangzhou fried rice is a very famous snack on our side, of course we have to try it." Kong Xiangxi, who reacted the fastest, hurriedly played a round.

"I'm sorry, everyone, my request just now is really a bit rude, it's all because a Chinese friend told me before that Yangzhou fried rice is a very delicious food here, so I said it and made everyone laugh."

Lin Jun said "very sincerely", of course, the host is not good at "blaming", and in the eyes of the masters, it is not surprising that these foreigners are so "salivating" about Chinese food. For this small request of the guest, of course, the host must meet: "Haha, what General Andrei said makes sense, it is a time of war, or this rice raises people!" ”

Lao Jiang immediately asked the attendants to prepare Yangzhou fried rice, and it was one per person.

Because Song Ailing and Vukinskaya were more familiar, she chatted with Vukinskaya, and Song Meiling, who was proficient in English there, also joined the "Three Women's Group". After a while, Madame Chiang told Lao Jiang with some surprise: General Andre will cook Chinese food himself!

"I didn't expect General Andre to have some research on Chinese food culture, it's really rare."

"I used to be taught by my friends in China, and I thought about it myself, and I couldn't tell what the flavor of the final thing was."

Then there was something that surprised the owners even more, because the cutlery prepared for Lin Jun, Vukinskaya, Fekochinov, Snornik and Landskocchi was spoons, and everyone asked to change the chopsticks - under Lin Jun's influence, everyone around him was able to use chopsticks skillfully.

While eating Yangzhou fried rice, one of Lao Jiang's confidential secretaries sent an important piece of information. Lao Jiang did not avoid it, and read the official document at the dining table.

Lin Jun noticed that Lao Jiang's expression was a little serious, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

After reading the official document, Lao Jiang spoke: "General Andrei, Zhirou, you also take a look at this information." ”

Song Meiling, who was next to Lao Jiang, immediately got up and wanted to walk to Lin Jun's side.

"Mrs. Jiang, I can understand Chinese."

Because Lin Jun was a guest, the official document was handed to him first. The information was handwritten in traditional Chinese characters, not printed, which shows that the information is very urgent! After Lin Jun took a closer look, he frowned - seeing Lin Jun's expression, Lao Jiang probably thought: He is still too young to know what it means to be happy and angry.

In fact, Lin Jun was not because of the thorniness of the intelligence at all, but because the content of the intelligence was very different from the time recorded in his memory: the Japanese aircraft carrier "Longxiang" appeared in the sea of the North Jiyang Ocean north of the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang.

It was only September 1937, and the aircraft carrier "Longxiang" only entered China's coastal waters in November. Intelligence shows that the "Longxiang" aircraft carrier not only appeared in Dajiyang, but also had its part in the bombing of Nanjing a few days ago.

"The Great Ocean, the key point of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, chokes the throat of the north-south route." This concept immediately appeared in Lin Jun's mind. Since the air attack on the aircraft carrier "Longxiang" is the only record in the history of the Chinese Air Force to attack an aircraft carrier, Lin Jun in his previous life has done a detailed study of this battle, and he is also very familiar with the environment of the Daji Ocean (he flew over the Daji Ocean in his previous life. ）。 Lin Jun felt very sorry for the air raid of the Chinese Air Force, and only seriously injured the "Longxiang": because at that time, the Chinese Air Force was able to participate in that sortie in Nanjing only three American-made "Northrop" bombers, and the Soviet Air Force had not yet arrived in Nanjing.

Although he did not sink the "Long Xiang", Lin Jun still admires the pilots who attacked, they are real air heroes! At that time, all the officers and men who had made the attack had written a "letter of desperation" before setting off, and they swore that if they were attacked by Japanese anti-aircraft guns and fighters and could not drop bombs, they would die with the enemy in their planes. Led by Xu Zhuoyuan, the captain of the bomber team, the three planes completely ignored life and death in the attack, and the planes flew at a very low altitude, and almost every bomb hit the target. Later, on the return voyage, they were chased by the Japanese plane, and the blood of the four warriors was scattered in the sky, these warriors are the real Chinese souls!

handed the official document in his hand to Zhou Zhirou on the side, Lin Jun only said one sentence: "Blow it up!" ”

"Okay, General Andrei is the same as I thought, blowing up and sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier, if successful, will greatly boost the prestige of our army and boost the morale of the soldiers in front!"

Zhou Zhirou here does not need to express his opinion, the "chairman" has already spoken, and he, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy command of the Air Force, only needs to conscientiously carry it out.

"Mr. Jiang, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, I see that tomorrow it will be launched at dawn."

"General Andrey, the number of bombers in the Chinese Air Force is insufficient at the moment, do you want to wait until your bomber fleet arrives before attacking?" It is known that the Soviet planes that arrived in Nanjing today were two fighter groups.

"Mr. Chiang did not know that the most effective weapons for attacking warships were torpedo planes and dive bombers, both of which we lacked. However, all 24 I-16 fighters under my command can be used as dive bombers, and half of the pilots have experience in attacking ships, and some of the aerial bombs delivered in advance this time are armor-piercing bombs specially prepared for attacking ships. Judging from the aerial charts, Dajiyang is also within the attack radius of our fighters, and as long as there is the cooperation of your country's air force, by noon tomorrow, the "Longxiang" will be a coral reef in the East China Sea. In addition, the Japanese army did not know about our arrival at the moment, and it was the best time to attack. ”

"Good! General Andrei, then it's decided, the attack action is for you to work out with Zhirou, and you must blow it up! ”

He was a little excited, but he also suddenly thought of a question: Kong Xiangxi had reminded him that this Andrei likes to go to the front line in person, and looking at today's posture, this young general must personally participate in the attack - this is not good, in case of some accidents, it is not easy for him to explain to the Soviet side. Lao Jiang also knew that this Andrei had the title of "uncrowned prince" in the Soviet Union.

"General Andrei, tomorrow I will go to the colonel's factory and command the attack with you." Thinking of this, Lao Jiang had to "deign" to go to the airport in person, lest this Andrei personally go to bomb the aircraft carrier.

Although he very much hopes that he will become one of the first pilots in the world to sink an aircraft carrier, judging from the current situation and the attitude of his hometown, he doesn't want to lead the team personally, and Lin Jun is extremely sorry in his heart.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll wait for Mr. Jiang's arrival at the airport tower."

"Zhirou, you and General Andre will study the specific attack plan, and you must be fully prepared."

"Chairman of the committee, please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely complete the task!" Zhou Zhirou saluted Lao Jiang.

After bidding farewell to Lao Chiang, the group rushed back to the Daxiaochang Airport and urgently convened a Sino-Soviet pilot coordination meeting. The decision to attack "Long Xiang" made everyone present extremely excited.

At the end of the meeting, it was decided that six "Northrop" bombers piloted by the Chinese side would be the pilot aircraft, and the pilot plane would be Xu Zhuoyuan, the leader of the bomber fleet, and that it would attack at the same time as the Soviet planes as an attack formation. The 24 fighters of the Soviet side were divided into two teams: the first squadron of 12 I-16s carried auxiliary fuel tanks to escort the whole process, while the other 12 I-16s were all piloted by "pilots who bombed the Northern Fleet" and carried 200-kilogram armor-piercing bombs. The air commander of the Soviet side was Andlupuv (it turned out that Lin Jun did not want him to go on the expedition, but the brother's attitude was extremely resolute), he was also the commander of the escort detachment, and it was Prokofiev who served as the commander of the Soviet assault detachment.

Since the distance of Dajiyang from Nanjing is nearly 370 kilometers in a straight line in the air, and it has received the upper limit of the attack radius of the Yi-16 without auxiliary fuel tanks, the assault squadron will return immediately after launching the attack, and if the fuel is sufficient, it will directly return to the Daxiaochang airfield, and if the fuel is insufficient, it will make an alternate landing at the Jurong airfield. All subsequent defense work will be entrusted to the escort squadron.

At the meeting, the code language for the liaison between the two sides was also determined: because there were no pilots who understood each other's language during the sortie, all the communication was very simple, and small cards were pasted on the dashboards of the pilots of both sides, and you could know what it meant when you listened to it.

"Brother, I didn't expect that the honor of the air commander who sank an aircraft carrier for the first time in the world could fall on your head." Lin Jun told Andlupuf after the meeting that he really envied this brother.

"Andrey, I also don't have a chance to drop bombs on the Japanese aircraft carriers, I can only guarantee that our attack aircraft are not threatened by the Japanese."

Andlupuf still has opinions, because he is not the commander of the assault squadron, and can only escort him.

"It's better than me watching and waiting on the ground!"

Lin Jun patted his brother's shoulder, "You want to come back alive for me!" ”

"Don't worry, the vultures can't do anything about me, and the pilots in Little Japan who can shoot me down haven't been born yet!"

Lin Jun is still very confident in his brother's air combat skills: although Andlupf is nearly forty years old, his current flight condition is still in the best condition, and after this period of observation, his flying fighting skills have surpassed his own. This can only make Lin Jun envious, because he left Spain prematurely, but although Andlupuf served as a wing captain there, he still personally participated in some air battles, and now Andlupf has a record of shooting down 12 enemy planes in his hands, and is the first "trump card" in the air force aiding China.

In the entire Soviet air force for China, there were 5 pilots who participated in the Spanish battle, and Andrupf had the first record, Lin Jun was second, and Prokofiev also had a record of 7 planes, and the other two squadron leaders also shot down 4 and 2 enemy planes respectively.

At the coordination meeting, the Chinese pilots had already briefed their Soviet counterparts on the situation of the opponent they might encounter this time -- the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighters, and the pilots of the Japanese naval aviation were basically veterans.

Experienced opponents did not make it difficult for the pilots of both China and the Soviet Union, but on the contrary, aroused their fighting spirit: because they were the best pilots in the world!

The sortie was scheduled for dawn on September 11.
