Chapter 347: The Eagle Spreads Its Wings
Hao Yi looked at Yokoji Takeda's body, "Commander, this guy is the head of the Japanese, and he was sent to Amaterasu with the first shot." "The two of you have made a great contribution, and you have been very decisive." Hao Yi walked up to the mortar again and checked: "The Japanese are really cunning and try to use the mortar to attack. You see, these shells have a special mark, which is incendiary. It's so suspenseful, if the Japanese are allowed to succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is not difficult to see that the Japanese agents have prepared in advance and accurately calculated that we will rest in Denney. ”
At this time, the two pursuing special forces returned, "Report to the regiment commander, we have pursued for 10 miles." 5 Japanese soldiers were killed, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers ran away. "At this time, the sniper team leader Jie Zhenbang caught up from behind, and he was in charge of the rear of the palace." Captain Jie, we managed to defeat a Japanese assault team, captured 20 mortars, and killed 16 Japanese soldiers. Our mission is to safely deliver the fighter planes to the country, so there is no time to deal with Japan. Now I can't guarantee whether there is a second commando team in Rite. ”
"Jie Zhenbang!" "Here!" You personally lead the spearhead to open the way in front, and the original deployment remains unchanged. "Yes!" The convoy continued on the road, and everyone was still apprehensive. They stayed day and night, and arrived safely in Ruili after 3 days. At Ruili Airport, fighter planes took off their grass-green clothes, revealing their heroic faces. A few days ago, Zhang Yourong, captain of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Group, led more than 200 pilots and ground staff to Ruili Airport first. To purchase 200 fighter planes in the United States, Ouyang Jian obtained the consent of Lao Jiang in advance, on the grounds that it was in the name of protecting Jiangxi's airspace.
Moreover, the purchase of fighter planes in the United States is the pocket of the Communist Party privately, and Lao Chiang has nothing to say. Although I am not happy in my heart, but now Jiangxi, where the Communist Party is entrenched, supports half of the rivers and mountains that support the supply of materials for the Anti-Japanese War, and the protection of Jiangxi's industrial base is justified, and Lao Jiang naturally has to vigorously support it. Therefore, after the fighter plane was transported back to China, it was a green light to fly back to Jiangxi from Ruili.
As soon as the tarmac was coupled, Hao Yi handed over to the captain of the air combat group. "Commander Hao, I have never had a chance to meet him when I heard his name, you are a member of the first batch of sniper teams in Jiujiang, and your story is a household name in Jiujiang!"
"Captain Zhang, you are the warrior of the first batch of aviation teams of the Eighth Route Army, and your story has long been heard." The two sides shook hands warmly, revealing a look of hatred for each other. "I heard that there are ups and downs and dangers along the way!" "There is no danger, now the fighter plane must be handed over to you! We've lifted a thousand pounds of burden! "Your hard work will not be in vain, we will fly the fighters back to Jiangxi with all the tails." "I heard that the Eighth Route Army Flying Regiment is going to be formed, it seems that this regiment commander is none other than you." "Yes, the appointment has already come down, and it is estimated that it will be announced when I go back."
"Report to the captain, the first batch of 10 fighters is ready, request to take off." A flight squadron leader ran over to report. "You can take off!" "Yes!" The squadron leader ran to the tarmac. Soon, there was a roar ・・・・・ from the runway. Seeing the fighters flying into the sky with their heads held high, Hao Yi couldn't help but say with joy: "Captain Zhang, how is the performance of this American-made Mustang fighter?" If you are an expert, you may wish to introduce it! ”
"Since Head Hao is interested, I'll make a show. This is a new fighter jet finalized by the United States last year, which made its first flight on October 25 last year. This new fighter was tailor-made according to the requirements put forward by the British side, mainly against the German 109 fighters. This fighter has similar performance to the German 109 and the British Spitfire, but it is not as mobile and flexible as the Japanese Zero fighter. ”
"The Mustang fighter jet, which was delivered to the British Air Force in January this year, has received a good response. Although this Mustang fighter is not particularly prominent, Chief of General Staff Ouyang believes that the protection performance of this fighter is excellent, and it is much stronger than the Japanese Zero fighter. The point is that there is room for improvement in this fighter, which is very beneficial for us to produce new fighters. After the fighter plane flew back to Jiangxi, a fighter plane was about to enter the Nanchang Aircraft Factory for disintegration. Chief of General Staff Ouyang said: We should combine the advantages of the Zero and Mustang fighters to design a new type of fighter. ”
"The technical characteristics of this Mustang fighter are: wingspan of 11, 27 meters, length of 9, 82 meters, height of 3, 70 meters. The empty weight is 2918 kg, the normal take-off weight is 3901 kg, and the full load weight is 4082 kg. The maximum level flight speed is 628 km, the practical ceiling is 9555 meters, and the combat radius is 563 km. Zhang Yourong's professional knowledge made Hao Yi hear that it was a cloud and mountain fog cover, which can be described as interlaced like a mountain.
When Zhang Yourong introduced, the second batch of fighters began to taxi on the runway again. "Captain Zhang, I really envy you, the chief of the general staff once said: We must build a strong air force, to tell you the truth, I thought I would not see it in my lifetime, and I didn't expect my dream to come true." "Commander Hao, don't say you can't think of it, and I didn't expect it, in the blink of an eye, the aviation team will form a scale. Over the past few years, we have trained and stockpiled pilots, and now we are finally useful. The chief of the General Staff said that we should not only seize air supremacy in the Chinese battlefield, but also make the aviation of the Eighth Route Army famous in the first battle in the harsh air battle. ”
"We have all along been bombing indiscriminately by Japanese fighter planes in the skies of China, and we have deeply experienced this kind of torture. Ever since we saw these fighters, we couldn't express our excitement. You may not know that since you accept the task of transporting fighter planes, from the commander to the ordinary soldiers, you are happy and apprehensive. If something happens to these treasures in our hands, we will be ashamed. Now that I can safely hand over the fighter plane to you, and see our Eighth Route Army pilots take off the plane, I feel as light as a swallow! ”。
"The dispatch of strong special forces from the headquarters to escort you is an absolute trust in you. In fact, you were sent to Burma for the sake of these fighters. Head Hao, I'm sorry for you. I can't express my gratitude at this moment, and I am not interested in going on the fighter plane to check it out. "Great, I can't ask for it!". The two came to a fighter plane, and the ground crew immediately stopped working when they saw Zhang Yourong. "Report to the captain, we are overhauling the aircraft, please instruct!" "Keep working!" "Yes!". These ground staff are all from Jiangxi.
"In order to ensure the safe flight of the fighter to Jiangxi, the fighter must be carefully inspected before takeoff, and there must be no defects. Head Hao, please! Hao Yi climbed down the escalator into the cockpit, and Zhang Yourong followed. The cockpit is small, and the various instruments inside dazzle and dizzy. "Captain Zhang, can you see these multi-table pilots?" "A lot of meters are not commonly used, and they often use fuel consumption gauges, altimeters, and speedometers." "This is the joystick?" "Yes!" "A tank-like joystick!"
Zhang Yourong gave a general introduction, focusing on airborne weapons. "It's really enjoyable, the fire of eight machine guns is fierce enough, no wonder the fighter dive strafing can also form a terrifying dense rain of bullets, today I can open my eyes. However, I didn't remember anything after you talked for a long time, and it seems that it is not a lie that it is very difficult to train a qualified pilot and the selection conditions are so high. Seeing is believing! "Commander Hao still sees the way, it is indeed not easy to train a pilot, especially it is more difficult to train an excellent pilot."
At this time, another batch of fighters flew into the blue sky, and Hao Yi seemed to remember something: "Captain Zhang, it's almost noon, so I won't bother." In the afternoon, the troops will depart, and we will rush back to Lashio. The Ministry of Defense issued a new order to force the transportation of supplies with all its might, and it seemed that little Japan was going to war with the British. "Could it be that the Japanese are going to attack Burma?" "Quite possibly!" "Head Hao, they can't help each other, the coming day is long, maybe it will be time to win when we get together again." "Captain Zhang, I wish you all the best to soar into the blue sky of the motherland as soon as possible, attack with shock, and kill the enemy bravely."
"Commander Hao, what you are really proud of is your special forces, which are elusive and terrifying, and I hope you will make great achievements in Myanmar and make new contributions!" The two sides shook hands warmly again, and it seemed that they were inseparable. The safe delivery of 200 fighters to Ruili demonstrates the strength of the special forces. To this end, the Ministry of National Defense has increased the transportation density of important military supplies, and the Yunnan-Burma transportation line has entered a busier state, and Hao Yi and his comrades-in-arms are about to embark on a new journey.
In Chongqing's official residence of Lao Jiang, the intelligence chief Dai Li, walked in and said: "President, all the fighters purchased by the Communist Party have arrived in Jiangxi. According to information obtained internally, the Communist Party was to form a flying regiment. "To form an independent Eighth Route Army aviation team, although Lao Jiang is not happy, there is no way. However, he knew in his heart that with only 200 fighters, he could not afford to start a war with the Japanese Air Force, so let the Communist Party toss. The Japanese army already knew that the Jiangxi Communist Party had purchased fighter planes, and presumably the Japanese army would go all out to deal with the Communist Air Force.
In this way, at least I can reduce the pressure and further complete the reorganization of the troops. At present, Wei Lihuang's department, Bai Chongxi's department, and Chen Cheng's department. Xue Yue's department has formed four major military groups, and they have strong combat effectiveness, which is what Lao Jiang talked about. "Immediately notify the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Jiangxi in the name of the Ministry of National Defense, and the aviation corps of the Eighth Route Army will be named the National Revolutionary Army and the Independent Flying Regiment, and the composition of the officers will be reported by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army itself." Since you can't stop it, why not go with the flow.
The head of the guard room picked up the phone and connected to the Ministry of Defense. "How are negotiations with the British government going?" Lao Jiang seemed to remember something. "Since General Ouyang participated in the negotiations, the attitude of the British has eased considerably. However, when it comes to Myanmar's common defense, there are still differences. General Ouyang was very strong and demanded that the two sides establish a joint defense command in Burma, and that the military deployment must involve Chinese soldiers, but the British side did not agree. In addition, Ouyang Jian proposed to open up a land route to the west, and the British side argued on the basis of reason. ”
"The British side believes that the Japanese army is simply unable to capture Burma, and requires the Chinese army to be on standby in China and not to enter Burma for the time being. China and Britain jointly set up a defense command, but the British side vetoed it. As for the opening of the northwest land route, the British side did not consider it necessary. At present, it is difficult to reconcile the differences between the two sides, and it is said that Ouyang Jian does not mind, neither takes the initiative nor urges, and takes out the posture of waiting for the price to sell, which makes the British very faceless. ”
"The Japanese army is now in Thailand and has helped the Burmese form their own independent army. To put it bluntly, the Japanese army is just using the Burmese as a shield to find an excuse for sending troops to Burma. The British would not fail to understand the ambitions of the Japanese, and it should be said that the situation in Burma was at stake. But the British have a request for us, and they can't put it down. Ouyang Jian's extraordinaryness lies in knowing his opponent and knowing what his opponent thinks. Waiting for the price to sell, I like these 4 words. ”
