Chapter 50: Recruiting the Elite of the National Air Force!
As soon as this person went lucky, it was indeed a happy event.
A few days after Cheng Gong turned the Aleutian Islands into the Donghui Kingdom, Dai Yunong brought him good news, and the list he had drawn from the national army, air force, and navy was all sent to Chongming Island by Dai Yunong.
The only extra seat is Chen Shaokuan, the current naval commander of the National Army.
King Cheng, who was in a good mood, naturally wouldn't bother with Dai Yu, so he took Lao Chen away with a wave of his hand. didn't care that it was already more than eight o'clock in the night, so he excitedly asked Dai Yunong to accompany him out of the small western-style building and came to the barracks where Gao Zhihang, Chen Shaokuan and others were placed.
At this time, Gao Zhihang was standing on the edge of the airport, looking at the F8F-2 "Panda" and AD-1 "Sky Raider" parked on the runway from a distance.
Regarding the development of mainstream fighters in the world's air forces today, Gao Zhihang asked himself to be quite professional. However, the two "Pandas" and "Sky Raiders" in front of him, which he had only heard of but had not seen with his own eyes, obviously exceeded his understanding of advanced fighters.
When the Panshi mercenaries took over Hongqiao Airport, and then openly recruited mercenaries from all over the world in Shanghai, Gao Zhihang also took his Fourth Air Force Brigade to stand by at Zhoujiakou Airport in Henan.
Historically, Gao Zhihang and the 4th Air Force Group under his command fought an air battle with the Kisarazu Air Force and the Kaoya Air Force of the Toei Navy in the skies over Hangzhou on August 14, 1937, and thus established the honor of the National Military Air Force Festival.
Subsequently, Gao Zhihang led the Fourth Brigade to participate in the air operations of the Nanjing Escort Battle, supported the Battle of Taiyuan, fought with the Dongying Army Aviation and Naval Aviation many times, defeated and shot down the Dongying invasion of China fighters many times, and achieved fruitful results, and even created a brilliant record of one victory and six victories! However, due to backward technology and equipment and serious shortage of ground logistics and logistics, in the end, he and all the officers and men of the Fourth Air Force shed their blood in the sky, died heroically, and died heroically.
However, in this life, due to Cheng Gong's timely intervention in the Battle of Songhu, it eventually led to the retreat of the Dongying army to the Shanghai Sea. This left Gao Zhihang and his fourth brigade with no chance to play at all. So I have been staying at Zhoujiakou Airport in Henan Province on standby.
It was not until Cheng Gong and Lao Jiang reached a deal that Gao Zhihang received an order to take Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, Li Guidan, Liu Zhesheng and other 380 people to Chongming Island to report to Cheng Gong, commander of the PLAN Pacific Fleet, and take off the uniform of the National Air Force and join the naval aviation unit of the PLAN Pacific Fleet.
After receiving this order, Gao Zhihang was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and after he told Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, Li Guidan and others the good news, everyone in the Fourth Air Force Brigade was so excited that they couldn't sleep.
This is because the brilliant results of the PLAN Pacific Fleet naval aviation unit in shooting down 72 Japanese fighters and 72 bombers at one time with 12 advanced fighters in the skies over North China have always inspired these young Chinese air force athletes.
Not long after, they heard that the naval aviation of the Pacific Fleet of the PLAN attacked the Japanese at night and blew up three large military airfields at the same time, causing the devils to lose more than 500 warplanes in one night. After that, they fought continuously at night, and sent a large number of bomber groups to blow up and smash the three permanent divisions deployed by the devils in the area around Shimen.
To be able to join such a powerful meritorious army of killing Japanese soldiers, Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, Li Guidan and others dreamed of it!
Now, it's finally happening. He not only came to Chongming Island, but also saw with his own eyes the legendary "Panda" and "Sky Raider", which are the most advanced and ferocious firepower in the world today.
With Gao Zhihang's professionalism, just looking at the aerodynamic layout, cannon, auxiliary fuel tank, and the teardrop-shaped cockpit shield with a glass cover, you can see that such a fighter is what he Gao Zhihang wants most! Compared to the Huo/G/Triple Destroyer, it is simply garbage that can't be more garbage!
"Captain Gao, do you want to sit on it and try it?" A gentle laugh came from Gao Zhihang: "These fighters in my hands, whether they are 'Pandas' or 'Sky Raiders', have the ability to take to the air at night to fight!" ”
Gao Zhihang hurriedly gathered his mind and turned around on the spot.
Seeing the young man in his twenties in front of him, Gao Zhihang couldn't help but be stunned, and then saw the middle-aged man standing next to this young man, who was the boss of Dai Yunong Dai, who was feared by everyone in the military commander, Gao Zhihang immediately understood who this young man was.
Gao Zhihang hurriedly stood up and saluted, and shouted loudly: "Report!" Gao Zhihang, the former lieutenant colonel captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to report to Commander Cheng! ”
Although Cheng Gong was not wearing a military uniform, he still solemnly returned the military salute and said sincerely: "Captain Gao, welcome to join the newborn family of Donghui Naval Aviation!" As the king of Donghui, I will provide you and your teammates with the best training, the best aircraft, the most advanced aircraft carriers, the best ground support and logistics support, and create a new career in naval aviation for you! ”
"Your Majesty, it is my pleasure!" Gao Zhihang shouted loudly.
"It was our pleasure! His Majesty the King. At some point, more than 300 young men wearing the uniforms of the National Army and Air Force without a cockade collar appeared at the airport, and they shouted in unison.
"It was our pleasure! Your Majesty! ”
At this time, Chen Shaokuan also appeared behind the air force officers and men with more than 200 naval soldiers under his command, and then shouted in unison to express his heart.
"It's also my pleasure! Brethren, welcome to the Pacific Fleet of the Donghui Navy! Cheng Gong obviously said in a loud voice with a little excitement:
"Although you are all out of the national and military sequences, I can assure you that only when you join the Donghui Navy can you be worthy of your excellence! Worthy of your blood! Worthy of the honor and reward that you deserve as a professional soldier!
Of course, when I say this, I do not mean to belittle the Nationalist Government and Chairman Chiang. I just want to tell you that there has never been a shortage of good soldiers and soldiers in China! However, because China has been weak for too long in the past hundred years, it is so weak that it does not even have a decent navy! Perhaps, someone will say that we also once had a strong navy. However, I want to tell you that the navy that was broken by the Dongying Navy in the Yellow Sea is not yet a modern navy, because they are only the Beiyang Naval Division!
At the beginning of the founding of the army, the guiding ideology of the two different military systems, the naval division and the navy, there was an essential difference! The sailors are used to watch the home and the navy is used to attack! Those who have just limbs are also bones; Those who have just built have been building, they are also building, those who have just been in the world are soldiers! And the soldier I'm talking to you about today is a soldier, a soldier, and a professional navy!
For the sake of their responsibilities, the officers and men of the navy who take it as their mission to fight the world and consolidate the world can not hesitate to give up their lives and their relatives to serve as the backbone of the world. Since the birth of the world's professional navy, the navy has never changed their creed, they obey, they are resolute, they are brave, they sacrifice, for the title of this backbone!
The Navy is a profession, a special profession. The peculiarity of this profession lies in the fact that they survive for the war and win the war and the honor of the state, the nation and even the individual at the cost of their lives. War will be your profession, your destiny, and I and you should be honored to have such an honour. The sense of mission of history and the sense of responsibility of reality require that we can no longer show our own character, and there is only one character that can be seen in us, that is, the selfless character of being ready to sacrifice for war! ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Gong paused, looked around at everyone present with an extremely solemn face, and then asked in a deep voice: "Since you have all decided to choose to become a glorious Donghui Navy and start your professional naval career, then, please tell me, are you all ready?" Are you ready to sacrifice your lives for the duty and honor of the Mighty Navy? ”
Gao Zhihang, Chen Shaokuan, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, Li Guidan and other more than 600 soldiers at the scene shouted in unison:
"We're ready! Always be ready! ”
"Always be ready!"
"Always be ready!"
"Always be ready!"
The roar of frenzy was earth-shattering.
Cheng Gong pressed his hands weakly, and the scene was quiet, only Cheng Gongzhong's loud and loud voice continued: "The future generals of the world's largest modern navy, in order to let all of you glorify your ancestors and bless future generations, in order to further sharpen your will and temper your body and mind, I, as your king, will not hesitate to spend 100 million US dollars to build you the best modern training base in the world today in the South Pacific, Dawning Island!"
There, you will receive the best instructors in the world today, and you will be trained in the most scientific and rigorous comprehensive skills of the Navy and naval aviation. This kind of training will definitely be more rigorous and intense than the training you have received before. However, as long as you can complete all the training courses, you will all become a real man who can shoulder the burden for your parents, elders, brothers and sisters, and your family!
If you have to endure hardship, you will be the Master! Now, I give you a chance to choose, and if you want to quit, take a step forward! Here, I declare that even if you quit now, you can still return to the national/military sequence and continue your military life. Of course, in such a career, you can only be a member of the weakest navy and air force in the world in the future, at most an ordinary middle and senior officer. The world's most advanced aircraft carriers, the most advanced fighters, attack planes, the most advanced destroyers and cruisers, the most advanced and perfect logistics support system, and the highest salaries and benefits will all be lost to you. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Gong stopped and looked around the audience.
The scene became extremely quiet, Cheng Gong raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and three minutes later, Cheng Gong asked again in a deep voice: "I'll give you another chance to choose, if you don't want to go to the Shuguang Island base to participate in the training camp, take a step forward!" ”
A minute, five minutes, ten minutes passed, and still no one came out of the neat queue.
