More and more pilots and comrades from the ground crew entered the club, and it was clear that the comrades wanted to come and join in the fun after learning that the marshal was in the club. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone knows that Marshal Plunyakov is usually very approachable, and Comrade Division Commander has said this many times, even the new pilots know about it.

In addition to Lin Jun, another focus in the club today was obviously Lilia, who had just received special permission, and everyone was congratulating her after learning the news.

Lin Jun thought of something, what happened to Kobets a few months ago: a young man with the rank of cavalry private rode a military horse to Airport No. 6 and told the officer on duty that he wanted to join the air force and give him a fighter jet.

What a big joke, a fighter pilot who graduated from an aviation school became a cavalry private. The troops broke up, and they found an airfield to get back to their old ways of doing what they were doing - it took the airfield a long time to figure out the man's identity, release him from his confinement cell, and give him a freshly repaired rag.

"Comrade Lilia-Vukinskaya." Lin Jun stood up and greeted the little girl who was surrounded by the boys.

"Comrade Marshal." She was clearly not free from her sudden happiness.

"I am now promoting you to corporal in the name of Deputy Commander of the Supreme Command. Those people in the command of the Air Force look down on you as a private, and our Air Force has not yet been a soldier to fly a combat aircraft. ”

"Yes, Comrade Marshal."

Today was a great day for Lilia, who not only received special permission but also became a sergeant.

Soviet Air Force pilots are at least sergeant ranks, and senior privates can only become gunners, Lin Jun has completely cleared the obstacles for a confident little girl. In fact, with his order, those people in the command will not embarrass Lilia, but they just don't want the comrades in the command to embarrass them.

There are constantly pilots who toast Lin Jun with wine glasses, and the blessings of "I wish you health" continue. Lin Jun took the black teacup and said: Everyone here knows that he has been seriously injured and does not drink.

After Pokryshkin's introduction, Lin Jun got to know everyone here: Kryukov, Fedichev, Fedorov, Trude, Rechkalov, Iskolin, Yenmenko, Verbitsky, Mocharov, Bereznoy......

Many comrades of the 1st Division died, including Pokryshkin's good friends Millonov and Lieutenant Pankratov, whom he had known in Brest: Millonov died while blocking a group of German aircraft that attempted to bomb the parade on Red Square, when he was already a squadron leader, with a record of 17 shootdowns. The division is posthumously awarding him the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", and the report was sent by Lin Jun's hand.

There are not many old pilots left, and a steel unit is like that, and perhaps by the day of victory, the number of people who have appeared in the troop roster will be far beyond its full strength.

"Pokryshkin, your official appointment should come down soon, I remember that you have been a major for a while, right?"

"Soon, within normal limits." Pokryshkin thought for a moment: "Marshal, I think it is better to continue to be my major, so that I will be less constrained." ”

"Well, I won't intervene until the battle is over. Kozhdub. Lin Jun greeted the captain on the side.

"Yes, Comrade Marshal."

"I'm now promoting you to Captain of the Guards, and be your captain."

"Yes, Comrade Marshal."

Kozhdub was very happy, and the promotion to the rank would not make him shrink back, and it was the prerogative given to him by the marshal to charge in the first line.

"Kozhidub, have you been using the three-plane tactic lately?"

"Yes, Marshal. But this is not always the case, and many times it is still a two-machine formation. ”

"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is the same when you practice it."

Lin Jun is familiar with the two-plane formation operation, which is the same in the past and present life. For excellent pilots, the double-tap formation can play tactics more flexibly; The three-plane formation can form more tactics, but Lin Jun is only familiar with it theoretically, and he didn't use it much in training in his previous life, so he can't compare to an "innovator" like Pokryshkin.

"Marshal, tell us about your battle in Spain, we all want to hear and learn some experience."

There was a bold young pilot who proposed, but Lin Jun didn't want to get an axe: "Spain can't compare to now, and many tactics are outdated." You should learn more from your regimental commander, whose newly created tactics are suitable for modern air combat. I still envy you, how good, fly the plane to fight, I can only look on the ground, my heart is itchy. ”

Everyone was smiling kindly, and they could understand the marshal's feelings, and if they didn't want to say it, of course they couldn't force it.

Only the lieutenant named Kryukov wanted the marshal to say something more: "Marshal, then tell us about Spain, I heard that it is also a beautiful country." ”

With the young man's request, Lin Jun's thoughts seemed to return to 5 years ago, "It's a beautiful country, and the people are kind and welcoming. Once my plane was shot down by fascist anti-aircraft guns over Madrid, and I was amazed by the enthusiasm of the citizens of Madrid after the parachute jump. It would have been as if people of righteousness all over the world were gathered in Spain, the international column! It's nostalgic. ”

"Marshal, is the Spanish girl enthusiastic?"

I don't know which young man shouted, and now Pokryshkin's face was a little unbearable, and his eyes glared fiercely in that direction!

"Forget it, it's in the club." On the contrary, it was Lin Jun who was persuading Pokryshkin: the boys over there already felt that they were a little carried away: anywhere, the authority of the Marshal of the Soviet Union could not be challenged in the slightest.

Pokryshkin was angry, although everyone knew that the marshal looked at the 1st Guards Division differently, but this would be too out of place for the boys.

"Very enthusiastic, for this, I and the commander of the base camp reserve aviation group, Comrade Andlupf, are deeply touched. When the fascists are defeated in the future, you will know when you arrive in Spain. ”

At this time, everyone's expressions became relatively serious: this was the first time that Lin Jun had said on a relatively public occasion that the Red Army would set foot on Spanish soil in the future! He's going to fight back! Settle those old accounts with Franco!

Spain would be "neutral", but everyone understood what relations the Franco government maintained with the Nazis, and Spain was about to become Germany's "import transfer station" and logistics production base.

The blood of the sacrificed comrades of the "international column" cannot be shed in vain, not to mention the fact that some fascist German troops are now massacring the Soviet people with weapons produced by the Franco dictatorship.

In a few years, Lin Jun will command the Red Army to fight back to Madrid, so that Franco will pay for his blood debts!

"Alright, comrades, you go on."

Lin Jun got up and was about to leave, but Pokryshkin glanced at Kozhdub and accompanied Lin Jun to leave.

"What can be said by the marshal just now, and which can't be transmitted, do you understand in your hearts?!"

Everyone nodded at Kozhdub's words.

In fact, Pokryshkin and Kozhdub thought too much: the whole world knew the attitude of the Soviet Union towards the existing Spanish government, and although Spain was constrained by Britain and the United States, Franco had already sent the so-called volunteer army to the Soviet-German battlefield.

The Red Army on the front had already exchanged fire with the Spanish Volunteers in the direction of Belarus, and had also captured a small number of Spanish-speaking prisoners, giving a glimpse of the situation in which Spain had sent troops into the war.

As early as 1940, Spanish Foreign Minister Ramón Serrano Suna suggested to Franco that he recruit capable men and form a volunteer division to help the Germans fight, a proposal that Franco supported.

There were enough fascists in the Spanish Falangist Party, and the volunteer recruitment was met with enough people: by the end of the conscription in July 1940, the conscripts far exceeded the need to form a division, and the Spanish upper echelons had to send more than 10,000 people home!

Not to mention anything else, when the Third Reich collapsed, Lin Jun couldn't let so many fascists still live freely in Spain!

According to the prisoners' confessions, this Spanish division had an unofficial nickname -- the "Blue Infantry Division", which was used by the Soviet High Command to represent the Spanish Volunteer Division.

Originally known as the Spanish Volunteer Division, the division consisted of about 18,000 Spanish active duty soldiers or Falangists, all officers above the rank of lieutenant were Spaniards, and 50 percent of the officers and non-commissioned officers were professional soldiers.

The combat units of the volunteer divisions were formed in Madrid, Zaragoza, Seville, Spanish Morocco, Valladolid, Coronna, Burgos, Valencia and Barcelona. In July this year, the Spanish Volunteer Division was officially integrated into the German armed forces and received the number of the 250th Infantry Division.

To distinguish it from the German division, the Germans generally referred to it as the 250th Spanish Division, and the name "Blue Infantry Division" came from the blue shirts worn by the Falangists.

Now the Soviet High Command even knew who the commander of the "Blue Division" and the commanders of the regiments were, because the Spaniards had a tradition of naming units after the names of their commanders, and even the privates knew who the commanders of the regiments were.

But Franco's "Volunteer Army" was almost gone through history - near Shatsk, southwest of Minsk, the interspersed Prairie Front units had already exchanged fire with it, and the "Blue Division" was encircled entirely.

According to the report of the Steppe Front, the Spaniards were very strong in combat and could be compared with the first-class German SS units, and it was very difficult to capture Shatsk.

The Falangists, the members of the "Blue Division" who volunteered to come to the battlefield on the Eastern Front were all pure fascists, and Lin Jun was not surprised at all that such a unit had extremely strong combat effectiveness.
