Chapter 201: Fight with all your might!

The bombing of the Japanese airfield outside Beiping undoubtedly made many people living in Beiping very excited and surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoEspecially when the people know that it was the Eighth Route Army that bombed the little devil's airport, they were not to mention happy.

As the news spread that the Eighth Route Army was preparing to regain North China, more and more people hoped that the Eighth Route Army would be as strong as possible. Some people who understand the war also know that without a strong air force, Beiping will not be safe even if it is recovered.

Compared to building a navy, many people think it is unlikely. At least in a short period of time, even if the whole country gathers its strength, it will not be possible to quickly build a powerful navy. But the Air Force, perhaps, still has some opportunities.

As long as there are enough fighters and pilots, then the Eighth Route Army may have a strong navy. At least in air defense operations, the little devils will not be allowed to bargain too much.

Even the navy, which was afraid of little devils, did not dare to approach the coastal defense line of China at will. In this way, the people feel that the stronger the Eighth Route Army, the safer they will undoubtedly be, and someone will guard against the little devils for them!

On the other hand, Okamura Ningji, who learned the news, his first reaction was that he really guessed right. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army dared to send the air force to bomb Beiping Airport so boldly, and it seemed that their air force was directly ignored.

But he must admit that the Eighth Route Army's decisiveness caused his air force to suffer heavy losses. And he really knew that the number of this new type of fighter of the Eighth Route Army did not seem to be much, and it was a batch of fighters that were finally created.

This kind of information also gave Okamura Ninji a chance. In his opinion, perhaps the performance of this fighter of the Eighth Route Army is very good. But as long as they are willing to spend their money, they should be able to destroy the fighters of the Eighth Route Army.

Once the Eighth Route Army, an air force unit that suddenly came out of nowhere, then the next step is to search for the location of the Eighth Route Army's arsenal through naval aviation. At all costs, organize the Air Force to completely destroy it.

With this decision, Okamura Ninji once again sent a telegram to the Cabinet and the Admiralty. Earlier there was news from the cabinet that this new fighter was not supplied by the Soviet side.

It's just that according to the information they have obtained, the engines used in the new fighters of the Eighth Route Army seem to have been purchased from the Soviet Union, and the number does not seem to be large. For this, they don't have to be too nervous either.

I have to say that the information that the little devil found out is undoubtedly a bit outdated. For today's Eighth Route Army, those engines purchased from the Soviet Union are now only used for the installation of training aircraft.

The real Hawk fighters are all equipped with new aero engines produced by the engine factory. This also means that if the little devil makes such a decision, I am afraid that he will inevitably suffer again!

Looking at the Japanese airfield in disarray, the Blue Eagle squadron that carried out the bombing mission did not return as soon as possible. On the contrary, the Japanese barracks set up in Beiping City also did not escape the bombing and strafing of fighter formations.

Looking at these fighters of the Eighth Route Army raging in the air, the Japanese army, which rarely organized air defense drills, was also taken by surprise. After all, in the eyes of many Japanese soldiers, there is no air force in China at all.

In that case, why should they spend time practicing air defense? In contrast, their naval vessels are more familiar with air defense drills. After all, most of their enemies are military powers.

The fighter formation, which had gone to Beiping to carry out a bombing mission, left in a very chic manner. Although during the bombing, several Eagle fighters were shot. But in the end, the fighter returned to the airport safely.

For such a result, Mr. Zhu and He Zhengdao, who are in Chengde at the moment, are also very satisfied. After thinking about it, He Zhengdao finally decided to temporarily cancel the bombing of Tianyin.

Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army is very well guarded against Tianyin. Most importantly, it was a military port that the Japanese army attached great importance to. Once the fighter formations have passed, it is difficult to say whether the little devils will send naval aviation to help in the war.

Under these circumstances, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the commander-in-chief, and send a fighter squadron from the Second Air Force Group to Taiyuan Airport, ready to cooperate with the air battle with the Third Brigade at any time.

If nothing else, the naval aviation unit of the little devil will definitely come to help in the near future. Next, we had better place the air battle in our liberated areas to ensure the safety of our planes and pilots.

Taking advantage of the misunderstanding that the little devil does not know how many planes we have for the time being, the little devil was caught off guard. As long as we annihilate a few more enemy planes that come to attack, I believe that the little devils will also know that our air force is not easy to mess with.

In addition, having the Second Brigade dispatch a fighter squadron to Shanxi will also help strengthen the air defense forces of Central China. Once an enemy aircraft rises into the air, they can also be thrown into battle at any time.

And even in view of the current situation, our air forces must be fully prepared for air defense. Once enemy planes are sent into our liberated areas, all air force units must strike and resolutely destroy the invading enemy. ā€

If we do this, the strength of our air force will be fully exposed. Most importantly, there are not many pilots with actual combat experience! ’

Faced with the decision made by He Zhengdao, Ye Jianying still seemed a little worried. He knew very well that the performance of this fighter of the Eighth Route Army was really good. But the number of excellent pilots is still relatively small!

'Chief of Staff, I don't want to make such a decision if I have a choice. But we must understand that no pilot is born with an understanding of actual combat. They will never grow up without going through actual combat.

At present, the US military has promised to provide us with a large amount of military aid, and bombers will be delivered one after another. In this case, we have to get the pilots to grow up as quickly as possible. After practicing for so long, the second brigade should also come out to show the sword! ’

As He Zhengdao's telegram was sent to Mr. Zhu's command room, in the face of He Zhengdao's worries and considerations, Mr. Zhu also said helplessly: "Lao Zuo, do you think I'm too anxious?" ā€

It is clear that Mr. Zhu regrets exposing the strength of the Air Force. But Zuo Quan still smiled and said: "Boss, I think what Commander Xiao He said is right, isn't our training just for war?"

The second brigade has been stationed in Baoji, and in addition to protecting our steel mill and headquarters, they really don't have much actual combat experience. But in any case, they had shot down the little devil's reconnaissance plane earlier.

At present, the first brigade has divided a group of pilots and formed the third flight group. Then I think it is also a good decision to transfer a group of elite pilots from the second brigade to Taiyuan.

In the future, we will continue to produce a steady stream of aircraft, but we do not have many experienced pilots. In contrast, we currently have a significant number of pilots. Flame refining real gold! ā€

Maybe this seems a little cruel, but in Zuo Quan's opinion, these pilots are the pride of the Eighth Route Army. They are better treated than the infantry, and are better trained and educated than the infantry.

At this time, whether it is a mule or a horse, it must be pulled out and tried. At least this time, the results of the third team made many leaders of Yan'an very happy. I feel that the earlier investment was not in vain!

After receiving the transfer order from the headquarters, the Second Air Force Group, which was also equipped with new fighters, naturally seemed very happy. The captain of the second brigade also read the combat orders of the headquarters to the pilots under his command.

'Comrades, you've been trying to really compete with the little devils, and now this opportunity has finally come. The guys of the Blue Eagle Squadron fought two beautiful air battles in North China today, and they earned a face for our flight regiment.

Now the commander-in-chief and the commander have decided to send a group of pilots from our brigade to Taiyuan Airport. Although you are still under the command of the Second Group, you will have the opportunity to form a new Flying Group in the future.

If you want to be truly on your own, then take the fruits of your training and fight a beautiful air battle as a gift to the chiefs. I believe that as long as you can do this, you are qualified to become true eagles of the blue sky. ’

After some pre-war mobilization by the group commander, a fighter squadron of the second group was successfully transferred to Taiyuan Airport in the evening. The nearby garrisons were equally pleased with the opening of this air base.

With the arrival of these air forces, it also means that Shanxi's air defense will also become much safer in the future. Compared with these air forces, the troops responsible for attacking Shijiazhuang successfully advanced outside Shijiazhuang during the day.

In the face of such a fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese troops who held on to Shijiazhuang City also looked very surprised. And this time in the battle of Shijiazhuang, Mr. Zhu handed over the original 115th Division to the frontal attack.

As for the original 129th Division, which was the first to make a breakthrough, it has now waved its troops to pursue it. After being cleaned up by the Eighth Route Army Air Force, the Japanese troops who wanted to hurry up during the day also looked a little embarrassed.

In this case, Mr. Zhu naturally will not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dog. Even, after soliciting the opinions of the original 115th Division, the original 120th Division, which had also planned to cooperate, also launched a surprise attack from the other side.

According to Mr. Zhu's meaning, the sooner the war is ended, the more beneficial it will be to the Eighth Route Army. Since the number of garrisons in Shijiazhuang City is not even a brigade at present, the current 115th Division is fully capable of taking it.

On the other hand, the remaining two main army corps, which have formed a flanking situation at this moment, naturally do not have to squeeze all of them to Shijiazhuang. Therefore, taking the opportunity to pursue and expand the results of the battle is the most important thing they should do.

learned that a squadron of the Second Air Force Group had successfully transferred to Taiyuan, and Mr. Zhu also knew. In the next few days, whether the Air Force can withstand the counterattack of the little devils will also largely determine how long it will take for the Eighth Route Army to recover the entire territory of North China!
