In Yunshui County, Ouyang Jian and Chen Yi were inspecting the air defense position, and 10 heavy machine guns for air firing were arranged in the entire Yunshui County. Ouyang Jian boldly adopted this air defense method because he had a thorough understanding of the Kuomintang air force. He knew very well in his heart that the Kuomintang Air Force was not only immature at the moment, but also had no experience in air raids. Although the Kuomintang currently has four air teams, there are only 27 planes, and 100 percent of them are old and obsolete planes, and less than one-third of the fighters can really carry out aerial bombing missions, so Ouyang Jian is sure to contain the air attacks of enemy planes and even shoot down enemy planes.

In an air defense position, three soldiers were practicing when they saw Ouyang Jian and Chen Yi coming over, and immediately stopped practicing and stood in a row to salute. Ouyang Jian asked a little soldier with an obviously immature face: "Little ghost, are you afraid that the enemy plane is coming!" "Report to the corps commander, I am not afraid, as long as the enemy plane dares to come, it will definitely be shot down." Legion Commander! I'm not a little ghost, I'm 17 years old. "Ambition, you are a Red Army soldier, not a ghost!" Chen Yi asked with interest: "Comrade Red Army soldiers, what is your name!" ”

"Report to the political commissar, I am an orphan, I have no name and no surname, and everyone calls me Shanyazi. After joining the Red Army, our captain gave me a new name, Iron Soldier! "Do you know what an iron soldier means!" "Our captain said that the Red Army is an iron army, and I am a glorious soldier in the iron army." "What an iron soldier, do you have the confidence to shoot down enemy planes?" "Confidence, but I'm not a Heavy yet!" "I'm sure you'll soon be a good machine gunner, and the enemy will be shaking under your hands."

Ouyang Jian and Chen Yi inquired about the training, and then walked to another machine gun position, Chen Yi asked, "Brother Ouyang, can the heavy machine gun really shoot down the plane?" Ouyang Jian explained: "At present, the planes installed by the Kuomintang are all eliminated by European and American countries, and their performance is very backward. The speed, maneuverability, altitude of the aircraft are very poor. In addition, these old-fashioned planes have a low accuracy rate of dropping bombs at high altitudes, while the combat personnel of the Kuomintang Air Force lack actual combat drills and combat experience. If an enemy aircraft wants to hit the target, it must be lowered or lowered, and the Maxine heavy machine gun can completely shoot down enemy aircraft. ”

Chen Yi said excitedly: "Great, the Kuomintang only has more than 20 planes, as long as we can shoot down one plane, the enemy's air force will be terrified." Ouyang Jian said: "Our current anti-air defense weapons are very rudimentary, and they are just expedient measures at the moment. Air defense operations require the development of anti-aircraft weapons, but this is not a one-day effort. Although the Kuomintang planes are now very backward, it does not mean that the planes of Europe and the United States are lagging behind. The Great War in Europe fully tested the effectiveness of fighter aircraft as an air strike force. As far as I know, at present European and American countries are developing more advanced fighters. ”

"Within two years, advanced fighters will be put into the battlefield and form a terrifying air strike force. And against advanced fighters, the role of the Maxine heavy machine gun will not be reflected, so I will first develop an anti-aircraft machine gun within two years. In the future, we will also develop antiaircraft guns to form an anti-aircraft defense system that combines high and low levels. Now let me talk about the ・・・・・・ that the United States is developing. Ouyang Jian's rich aviation knowledge once again opened Chen Yi's eyes. It can be said that every time Ouyang Jian plays on the topic, Chen Yi will feel like he is spitting out the old and accepting the new, and he is better than reading a book for ten years.

On December 29, at the field airport outside Jiujiang City, four planes with dragonflies looked like dragonflies standing quietly on the tarmac. The field airfield, which is an earthen runway, was built by surprise over a period of two months. On one side of the terminal, construction is still underway, and many construction workers are busy. From a distance, the fighters on the tarmac are two large and two small. The two large planes were bombers, and the two smaller ones were reconnaissance aircraft. In the past two days, reconnaissance planes have been dispatched frequently, and they have roughly figured out the situation in Yunshui County.

Today is the day of the official bombing, the sky is clear, and the wind speed disturbance is not suitable for fighter sorties. In front of the military tent on the tarmac, several pilots and crew members sat on the grass and waited, and the ground crew made a final inspection of the plane. At this time, Zhang Yourong, captain of the 1st Air Force, was looking at the map, and according to the reconnaissance plane's reconnaissance, the important targets in Yunshui County were marked on the map. At this time, a communications officer ran out of the tent and reported: "Report to the captain, the order from the peak is ready to take off." ”

Zhang Yourong waved his hand and led the crew to run towards the fighter. After climbing into the plane and taking position, a ground crew member turned the propeller, and suddenly the motor roared, and the fighter began to tremble. Zhang Yourong skillfully checked that everything was normal, and then signaled to the co-pilot that he could take off. The plane taxied to the runway like a big dragonfly soaring into the sky. When the other fighter plane flew into the sky, the two fighters flew in formation towards Yunshui County. The two fighters flew together at the airport, and the Hidden Arrow personnel in charge of surveillance immediately reported to Yunshui County by radio.

At this time, Yunshui County received information that enemy planes were coming, and the air defense siren was immediately raised, and the officers and men immediately organized the people in the county town to evacuate to the outside. Ten minutes later, a roar was heard from the northeast. I saw two bombers appear in the sky, and the enemy planes circled in the sky to lower their altitude and look for targets. Ouyang Jian held a telescope in the air defense bunker and observed: "Order all machine gun air defense positions, don't panic and expose the target too early, and be sure to wait until the enemy plane lowers its altitude and enters the effective firing range before shooting." ”

"Enemy planes flying in the sky are different from photos taken on the ground, like two big birds hovering in the sky!" Chen Yi's image is analogy. "Commissar, your analogy is very appropriate, it is indeed like two big birds, but this is a big bird that eats people, and lo and behold, the big bird is starting to swoop." I saw two bombers in the sky find the target and begin to reduce the altitude.

Soon there was a violent explosion, and the bombing of enemy aircraft began. Zhang Yourong threw two bombs at a target, and found that a clump of camouflaged weeds on the flank shot bullets, Zhang Yourong judged that this was the enemy shooting in the air with light machine guns, and the light machine guns were not terrible, so Zhang Yourong decided to blow up the machine gun position. I saw him push the joystick, and the plane turned to the opposite direction of the machine-gun position, and then began to dive. This machine-gun position is the position where the Iron Soldiers are located. "The enemy planes went around our rear and began to dive, so quickly turn the wheel at the enemy planes." The machine gunner shouted loudly.

The iron soldier was a little nervous, and hurriedly turned the turntable machine gun to turn around. Zhang Yourong drove the plane to a certain height, and could clearly see the target and order to drop the bomb, and at the same time pull up the nose of the plane. At this moment, a dense rain of bullets rushed in front of him, and Zhang Yourong was taken aback, feeling that the plane had been shot. The kung fu bomb was also dropped, and the machine-gun position was shrouded in smoke from the explosion. The Heavy and Radiant Hands lay in a pool of blood, and the Iron Soldier passed out from a bullet in his shoulder blade due to his low center of gravity. Zhang Yourong felt a noise in the engine when he climbed the plane, and then the engine stopped roaring, and the propeller inertia began to rotate slowly.

"Not good, our fighter plane was hit and the engine stopped!" Zhang Yourong shouted loudly while looking at the ground, and happened to see the training ground on the right. The desire to survive made him involuntarily fly towards the training ground, and it was too late to think about the outcome. Zhang Yourong is in his 30s this year, he was a pilot during the Beiyang period, and he has at least five or six years of flying experience, so he has a certain degree of certainty in gliding and forced landing. Zhang Yourong's piloting skills were good, he let go of aviation fuel, and he made a successful forced landing at the training ground without any danger.

When the other enemy plane saw that the captain's fighter plane had been hit, it knew that the captain had no choice but to make a forced landing, so it was so frightened that it hurriedly pulled up its nose and flew towards Jiujiang. There is anti-aircraft artillery fire in Yunshui County, which is simply terrifying. After Zhang Yourong made a successful forced landing, he saw a group of Red Army soldiers outflanking him. Faced with the Red Army soldiers who were eyeing him, Zhang Yourong ordered surrender. He led the crew to climb off the plane when he saw a few war horses galloping towards him. The first handsome Red Army general jumped off his horse with agility.

"Haha, just a lot of luck. Commissar, we have our own plane! Ouyang Jian came to Zhang Yourong with a radiant look and said, "I am Ouyang Jian, the commander of the Red 5th Legion, may I ask your name?" "Sir, the contemptible person is Zhang Yourong, the captain of the 1st Aviation Brigade." Zhang Yourong heard that the Red Army general standing in front of him was Ouyang Jian, and couldn't help but look carefully, because Ouyang Jian's name was already thunderous in the enemy army. "Haha, you are Zhang Yourong, I know you. Come and find a comfortable place for a few of them, and they are not allowed to be treated as prisoners of war. ”

After Zhang Yourong and the others were taken away, Chen Yi asked in confusion: "Brother Ouyang, they must be prisoners, why are they so polite!" "Political commissar, do you know that this person named Zhang Yourong has superb flying skills, and he is a very important figure in the future formation of our own air team. Not only did we capture a fighter, but more importantly we got a good pilot. Political commissar, do you know why I am digging a cave in Tongluo Village? "Do you want to hide the plane in a cave?"

"Not only that, in the future, I will build a cave field airfield in Tongluo Village, where planes can take off directly from the cave, the purpose is to avoid enemy planes from carrying out air strikes on our airfield, and we can use the cave airfield to strike at the enemy at any time." Seeing Ouyang Jian's excited appearance, Chen Yi seemed to be infected and said, "I hope the blueprint you drew can be realized." "Political commissar, not only can it be realized, but our aviation team will also be famous all over the world in the future!"

In the field hospital, the iron soldiers woke up, and the figures of Ouyang Jian and Chen Yi appeared in front of them. "Commander, has the enemy plane been shot down?" "You've been very brave, but the Heavy and the sub-shooter have died, and we're going to turn our grief into strength. Comrade Iron Soldier, I officially approve you as a machine gunner! The excitement caused the Iron Soldier to feel dizzy, and the wound after the operation was tearing in pain. Comrade Tie Bing, you are the best Red Army soldier, recuperate from your injuries and return to the team as soon as possible! Chen Yi comforted.

At the Nanjing Presidential Palace, Jiang Zhongzheng was in a daze when he received a telegram from Jiujiang, and he was actually shot down by Ouyang Jian, which was unbelievable. "Commander-in-chief, I didn't expect Ouyang Jian to actually have an anti-aircraft weapon, according to the analysis of the bullet holes on the plane, it was a Maxine heavy machine gun bullet," "Order!" The air team stopped the air raid on Jiujiang County and ordered the reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter Ouyang Jian's movements at all times. At this time, a communications officer hurriedly ran in and said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Lu Diping, the commander-in-chief of the Nanchang crackdown, report that the front-line commander-in-chief Zhang Huizan and the 18th Division of the department are surrounded by the Red Army in ・・・・・・. ”
