Chapter 743: The Bomber Group Takes Off!

Accompanied by the Saber Special Combat Team to successfully infiltrate Runan and complete the reconnaissance of each target area before the war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 A combat plan discussed by Zhu Fei and Song Yuping was soon sent to He Zhengdao's headquarters in the form of a telegram.

After reading the battle plan of the two, He Zhengdao did not make too many modifications. Even if He Zhengdao understands that the two of them sent this telegram more to listen to his opinion. But in He Zhengdao's opinion, it is more appropriate for the two of them to make this matter.

If you do not personally go to the field to command such a special operation of a surprise nature by remote control, you can imagine the consequences of indiscriminately interfering in the command. What's more, Song Yuping and Zhu Fei are the two most experienced special operations officers among the sabers.

If the battle plan they discussed together could not be agreed by He Zhengdao, then He Zhengdao really didn't know how he would command the two of them to carry out this surprise attack and cooperation battle. For this reason, it is wise not to make too many changes.

It's just that when replying to the telegram, He Zhengdao still said: "Call Zhu Fei back and let them try to be careful when they act." As soon as the air raid starts, start evacuating immediately and don't get blown up by your own bombs. ā€

'Yes, Commander! ’

With He Zhengdao's approved reply telegram, Zhu Fei and Song Yuping also seemed relieved. For them, He Zhengdao is not only their commander, but also the mentor and special warfare instructor of the two.

It can be said that the two of them can have such skills and status today, and they are closely related to He Zhengdao. At least Zhu Fei knew very well that he was lucky to survive this time, and He Zhengdao helped him a lot.

Even if it is not popular in the Eighth Route Army to worship brothers, Zhu Fei and they all know that He Zhengdao has always regarded the old members of the saber as brothers. For their life safety, He Zhengdao has always attached great importance to and cared about.

The Saber Special Combat Team had already drawn up a combat plan, and Zheng Shaoyu and others, who were waiting at the Baoji Air Base, also received an encrypted combat telegram. Seeing this telegram, Zheng Shaoyu and the others also knew that the battle was about to begin.

The weather on the second day was also a little gloomy, and the air police observation posts of the Eighth Route Army throughout Shaanxi were staring at the slightly gloomy sky. Their mission was to monitor the Japanese planes entering Shaanxi.

If a large number of Japanese fighters flew into Shaanxi, they also needed to alert Yan'an and the headquarters and the surrounding garrisons as soon as possible. But during this time, the sky in Shaanxi is undoubtedly quite quiet.

Just when Zheng Shaoyu and others were worried that today's weather was not suitable for takeoff. As soon as they finished lunch, looking at the sunshine that finally appeared, Zheng Shaoyu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

smiled and said: "God open your eyes! It seems that this time, God won't help the little devils! ā€

The weather conditions are undoubtedly very important to the bomber formation of the Air Force that carried out this bombing mission. Undoubtedly, such a large-scale bombing mission was also the first time since the Eighth Route Army established its air force.

In order to ensure the safety of the bombing mission, He Zhengdao even agreed with Zheng Shaoyu to send eight fighters on escort flights. As for take-off, it is scheduled in the afternoon. Doing so is also to catch the little devil off guard.

At least He Zhengdao hoped that after the air force launched the bombing, even if the Japanese troops in Runan sent a rescue telegram, the nearest Japanese plane would not be able to catch up. In this way, the safety of the return of the entire bomber group can be ensured.

At two o'clock, the bombers and escort pilots who had been assembled on standby all gathered in the combat duty room of the Second Air Force Group. Zheng Shaoyu, as the commander of the flight regiment, also began to issue this combat mission.

'Comrades, this is the first time since the formation of our Air Force Flying Regiment that we have carried out such a large-scale bombing mission. I hope that the comrades will come up with the best flying skills and set high standards to complete the bombing mission.

I've already told you about the destination of this bombing. And the target of our bombing is a large number of war materials stored by the Japanese army in the city of Runan. As long as it is blown up, it will mean the success of our mission.

I will be here, waiting for your triumphant return. I also hope that this bombing mission will show the prestige and morale of our Eighth Route Army Air Force. Let the people of the whole country see the strength of our Eighth Route Army Air Force! ’

After shouting such a slogan, every pilot who participated in the bombing mission felt very honored. Everyone knows that they are indeed proud to have the opportunity to participate in such a bombing mission.

After all, with such combat experience, they will also be able to get more promotion opportunities and combat experience in the future. When the air force is expanded in the future, they will undoubtedly be able to transform from pilots to commanders.

When Zheng Shaoyu issued a specific combat mission, the ground crew of the Second Air Force Brigade also began to enter the busy preparation stage. In addition to inspecting the instruments of each fighter, a large number of stored aerial bombs were also transported into the bomber's hangar.

Although the ground crew did not know exactly what they were going to bomb there this time. But they all know that this time the bomber was not a drill, but a real real battle. This is also a first for them.

After the preparations for the bombing were completed, Zheng Shaoyu, who had already read out the combat order, looked at the time and said: "Send a telegram to the Blue Wolf No. 1 and inform our department that all combat preparations have been made and can set off at any time!" ā€

'Yes, Captain! ’

Zhu Fei, who was also waiting for the bombing time to come, received a telegram from the flying group, and said with the same cold expression: "Call back the goshawk, the blue wolf is ready to receive it, they can unfold as planned!" ā€

When the telegram was sent, looking at Song Yuping, who was already ready for battle, Zhu Fei also said seriously: "Brother Song, we can also go." Wait for the meeting place outside the city, see you or disperse! ā€

'Good! See you or leave, take care! ’

So do you! ’

After the two punched each other, the two who had already been assigned combat missions soon began to enter various combat areas with the special combat team members who were also waiting to attack, quietly waiting for the arrival of the bomber group.

At this moment, the Japanese troops stationed in Runan still did not feel that a huge threat had come to them. In their opinion, such a tight defense can still allow the Eighth Route Army to attack Runan, then it is really a hell of a life.

Song Yuping, who was responsible for raiding the Japanese air defense position, led the special operations detachment under his command and the reconnaissance detachment that cooperated with the operation, and also entered the combat position. Even if they were still some distance away from the Japanese position, they still needed to lurk for the time being.

After all, it still takes a little time to fly from Baoji to Runan!

As the Saber Special Operations Team began to enter the combat area to standby, Zheng Shaoyu had already arrived at the flight airport and looked at the planes that were still hidden in the empty nest. looked at the sky and the time: "Start leaving the warehouse, ready to take off!" ā€

'Yes, Captain! ’

With the shrill whistle, the pilots, who had already put on their flight gear, quickly ran to the hangar. With the cooperation of the ground staff, they entered the cockpit of the aircraft they were piloting one after another.

As one flight after another drove out of the hangar, the ground crew who commanded the take-off and landing began to guide the planes to park in the runway and wait for the take-off order through the flags in their hands.

It wasn't until the fighters at the front of the line got the signal that they were ready to take off, and the pilots, who had already warmed up, began to taxi the plane. After taxiing for some distance, the fighter jet quickly lifted into the air.

Eight fighters were lifted into the air, and the relatively clumsy bombers began to take off. Looking at these planes taking off one after another, Zheng Shaoyu also looked very much looking forward to it, of course, he was still a little worried in his heart.

Once they are in the process of carrying out the mission, they are intercepted by the group of imp fighters. Then these planes, I'm afraid that many of them won't be able to come back. This will also be a heavy blow to the flying group.

Fortunately, this mission was very sudden, and of course it was also very secret. At least before takeoff, the air defense guard posts in various places did not find any signs of the activity of the Japanese aircraft. This also means that the Japanese had no idea that they would carry out such a bombing mission today.

When all the combat planes were lifted into the air, Zheng Shaoyu, who was staring at the sky, couldn't help but sigh: "You must come back safely!" ā€

Compared with the little devils, even if they lose some fighters, they can still receive newly produced fighters from the country one after another. Today's Eighth Route Army Flying Regiment can be said to be extremely valuable in every aircraft.

Even if these planes are in the eyes of Zheng Shaoyu and others, they are all planes that have been eliminated by little devils. But for them, this is the first generation fighter of the Eighth Route Army Air Force. The significance of these fighters to them is still very important.

If it weren't for these captured planes, they would not have been able to train so many pilots in such a short period of time. If these planes are damaged in this battle, the flying regiment will really face the embarrassing situation of having no chance to fly in the future.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the mission, the eight fighters escorting the escort took turns to lead the reconnaissance and guide the bomber group to the territory of Runan. As for the bomber group, it has always maintained a high flight altitude and tried to avoid attracting attention.

Fortunately, to the relief of the bomber pilots, when the group arrived in Henan. There were also a lot of puffy clouds in the sky, but it didn't affect their flight, but they provided them with cover.

The fighters, who take turns piloting, conduct reconnaissance flights at a relatively low altitude. When flying over the control area of the national * army, even if a fighter plane appeared, it also frightened the national * army troops below.

It was only when they saw that there was only one plane above them, and they also breathed a sigh of relief. Only a few officers of the national army said with a little puzzlement: "This doesn't seem to be a reconnaissance plane, it seems to be a little devil's fighter!" ā€

In the area where they are stationed in peacetime, you can often see the reconnaissance planes of the little devils, but the number of times you can see the fighters is not much. Even if some people thought that the sound of this plane flying out was a bit loud, they didn't expect that this was the bomber group of the Eighth Route Army.

After all, in the eyes of the Japanese army and the national * army, the air force of the Eighth Route Army only dared to fly in Shaanxi. Even when Japanese fighters appeared, they did not dare to take to the air. For this reason, no one doubted that the plane that appeared this would actually be the Eighth Route Army!
