The blue sky is like a wash, the sun is shining, and the biting cold wind envelops the Dihua military airport. At this time, General Stilwell, chief of the General Staff of the Chinese Theater of Operations, Ouyang Jianyu, stood on the airport tower and looked out towards the southwest - the snow-capped Tianshan Mountains. All the ground crews at the airport are also looking southwest, what are they looking at? According to the Sino-US aid plan, the air transport line from India to Kashgar, China, which was originally scheduled to be opened in January, was started one month ahead of schedule due to changes by the US side.

This exciting moment cannot be missed, Ouyang Jian and General Stilwell flew to the Dihua military airport again to witness the unprecedented feat. "General Ouyang, the outstanding performance of your special combat team has caused a shock in the United States. Therefore, President Roosevelt decided to provide additional one-third of the military aid in the Chinese theater and at the same time to start the air transport route from India to China ahead of schedule. "Thank you, General Stilwell, for your help." "I tell you good news, the B29 bomber has passed the acceptance and received an official order from the military department. At present, Boeing has been put into mass production. ”

"The U.S. military department has decided that as long as the Chinese battlefield gains air supremacy, and the B29 bombers are the first to be deployed at the Ruijin military airport in Jiangxi, we will have to work harder!" Stilwell's mood seemed to be particularly high, and there was no doubt that he would open the most brilliant page of his military career on the Chinese battlefield, which was fully equipped for a major counteroffensive. "General Stilwell, I believe that the Chinese theater will definitely go ahead of the European theater, and I am full of confidence in this!"

"The plane is coming! The plane is coming! Someone shouted loudly, only to see black spots appear in the snow-capped Tianshan airspace, and then dense black spots continued to emerge. The airport was boiling, and soon there was a roar over the airfield. Dozens of large transport planes, accompanied by bombardment fighters and fighter jets, gathered in the sky, and it seemed that the scene of Kunpeng overpowering was very shocking. U.S. B25 bombers landed first, then Wildcat fighters began to land, and finally transport planes landed.

After a dozen transport planes landed, a U.S. military major in charge of air transport disembarked and reported to Stilwell. Soon after, all the US military pilots got off the plane and gathered, and these US military pilots were to immediately fly back to Kashgar Airport by transport plane. The US military is responsible for sending fighter planes and military supplies to Dihua, and for this reason, US pilots are divided into two groups: one group is responsible for sending fighter planes and military supplies from India to Kashgar, and the other group is responsible for transporting military supplies and fighters from Kashgar to Dihua. The purpose of this is to reduce the fatigue of US military pilots and improve the efficiency of transportation.

The Chinese side is responsible for transporting warplanes and military supplies from Dihua Airport to the mainland, and to deliver fighter planes and military supplies to various theaters. The first batch of 15 transport planes were all loaded into trucks to deliver supplies to the railway station. Soon after, a transport plane was unloaded, and the American pilots immediately got on the plane, and the transport plane quickly flew away. At this time, the bombers and fighters that landed, surrounded by ground crews. Fighter jets are refueled and the necessary checks are carried out. At this time, the pilots of the 14th Air Corps of the US Army and the pilots of the Eighth Route Army Flying Regiment of the Jiangxi Eighth Route Army, who had long been unable to hold back, boarded the planes one after another.

Pilots of the US 14th Air Force and pilots of the Jiangxi Eighth Route Army arrived at the Dihua military airfield a few days early to stand by. Two hours later, 40 fighters and 30 bombers flew away, and the noisy airfield fell silent. All the trucks transported by the 11 transport planes were unloaded, and the transport planes started their engines and entered the runway, and flew into the blue sky in turn. The boiling airport fell silent again, and Ouyang Jian and Stilwell walked into the room behind them after watching the fighter plane go away. There was an iron stove in the room, and suddenly a hot steam rushed to the face.

The two of them took off their coats, and the guards on the table had already placed tea and coffee. The dazzling hustle and bustle, the scene of the plane landing and taking off seemed to be still shaking in front of them, and the two of them were in a good mood. Stilwell took a sip of tea and said, "General Ouyang, I have already informed the Indian side that the plane to transport you will be prioritized tomorrow." "Thank you! General Stilwell, you're here, I'll take a look at the airport on the west side, and get them ready for it. Ouyang Jian put on a new coat, sat on an American jeep and went straight to the Eighth Route Army Aviation Academy on the west side.

According to China's theater operation plan, the US military's military aid should first meet the needs of the southern operation, and the fighters should also be given priority to the 14th Air Force of the US Army in the south, the Jiangxi Eighth Route Army Flight Regiment, and the **** Aviation Unit. The fighter planes purchased by the Communist Party in the name of overseas Chinese in the United States are not included in the US military aid plan, so they are deployed in the western region and belong to the plan of the Communist Party. At present, two flight regiments have been organized in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region, and the 1st and 2nd independent flight regiments are tentatively under the command of the Northwest Group Army of the Eighth Route Army.

Ouyang Jian's jeep arrived at the Eighth Route Military Aviation School on the west side in less than half an hour, the scale of the Eighth Route Military Aviation School airport is incomparable with the Dihua Military Airport, its runway is earthen and cannot land large transport planes and large bombers, but there is no problem with landing B25 bombers. In front of the aviation school, Nie Rongzhen, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Group Army of the Eighth Route Army, and the main officers of the flying regiment heard the news and greeted them. The two sides shook hands and greeted each other, and Nie Rongzhen introduced the commanders of the Northwest Eighth Route Army Flying Regiment. The commanders of the 1st and 2nd Independent Flying Regiments were transferred from Jiangxi.

After everyone was lively, they happily walked towards the aviation school, Nie Rongzhen said excitedly: "Chief of General Staff, the pilots have gathered in the aviation school, and Yan'an Airport is also ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!" "I'm here to tell you the good news, tomorrow morning the first batch of 50 Wildcat fighters and 30 B25 bomber fighters will land at the aviation school airport. It is estimated that it will take 5 working days to complete the delivery of all the fighters, do you have any difficulties? "Chief of the General Staff, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, please rest assured that there will be no difficulties, we promise to complete the task."

The two independent flight captains listened to the eyebrows and danced, looking forward to the stars and the moon finally looking forward to this moment. After entering the office of the aviation school, Ouyang Jian asked the principal of the aviation school: "At present, how many pilots are qualified to fly in the aviation school, and how many ground staff and mechanics are being trained?" "According to the Chief of the General Staff, there are currently 320 pilots on the register, and all pilots who have the conditions to fly alone have all been recruited and transferred to independent flight regiments, a total of 180 people. Due to the shortage of trainers, we are limited to the rapid training of pilots. ”

"You don't have to worry about this problem, the 30 training planes we purchased in the United States will all arrive in half a month. Your mission is to train pilots quickly and send them to the combat flight regiment as long as they can fly the fighter into the sky alone. Comrades, we don't have time to train step by step, even rookies have to catch ducks on the shelves, let them hone in battle. The take-off and rise of China's aerospace industry must go through a brutal battle in order to grow up rapidly! ”

"Chief of the General Staff, in accordance with the deployment of the headquarters, we have drawn up a new training plan. In the past two years, we have selected qualified flight talents from all over the northwest and registered them for primary training in the local area, and the number of personnel has now reached more than 1,000. According to the headquarters plan, aviation schools have been initially built in Lanzhou, Yan'an, and Xi'an, and as long as the trainer can meet the requirements, it will soon be able to train pilots. At present, there are 580 ground staff and 130 mechanics in training. At present, 80 people are selected to enter the Dihua military airport and use the United States to train on their behalf. ”

Ouyang Jian nodded and said, "War has given us a rare opportunity, and we must cherish it. In the future, China must become a space power and a space power. We will make our air force famous in battle, and in the future, the airspace of the motherland will never let enemy planes run rampant, and I am full of confidence in this! "Everyone was excited and happy when they heard this. Then after discussing many matters for tomorrow's pick-up, everyone began to perform their duties and get busy.

"Deputy Commander Nie, is there any movement of the Japanese army in Shanxi?" After everyone dispersed, Ouyang Jian asked. "After the concentration of our troops along the Yellow River, the Japanese army seemed to be aware of it. The Japanese army has not only strengthened the defense of Taiyuan and other places, but in particular, the Japanese army has increased the number of warplanes at various airfields in Shanxi, and recently Japanese reconnaissance planes have frequently reconnoitred our airfields in various parts of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia. "It seems that Okamura Ninji must have discovered the signs of bad things, and he must prevent the Japanese army from sneaking up!" "The airports in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo have already taken measures to ensure that the fighters will enter concealed hangars when they arrive, and the air defense units are currently deployed at various airports and are ready to stand."

"Early prevention is very important for enemy aircraft to attack. At the end of the month, the early warning radar we purchased from the United States will arrive, and you have to organize professionals to learn to use radar as soon as possible. The Americans now need the Chinese theater of operations against the Japanese army, so a lot of military technology will not be strictly controlled. Once the Americans wake up to the use of technological barriers, it will be difficult for us to acquire advanced American technology. The field of military science represents a country's most advanced technology, and in the future, military scientific research and technology will feed back into the civilian field, which will produce a blowout effect. Now we must look beyond the war and create conditions for post-war development to the greatest extent. ”

"Chief of the General Staff, your strategic judgments have been fulfilled one by one. After the United States entered the war, the situation suddenly reversed, and after the Japanese army lost the battle of Kuah Island, the American army began to enter the stage of counterattack in an all-round way, and the defeat of the Japanese army was only a matter of time. Ouyang Jian was very satisfied with Nie Rongzhen's words, it was very important for the senior generals to reach a consensus and have a clear understanding of the battle situation. Subtly, letting the senior military generals gradually mature is the result that Ouyang Jian expects.

The next day, with a loud roar, fighter planes landed on the runway, and everyone in the aviation school gathered at the airport to witness it. After the delivery, the US military pilots took a truck to the Dihua military airport, where ground crews and mechanics began to inspect the planes, and the refueling trucks replenished the planes. Subsequently, one after another fighter planes entered the runway and soared into the sky. Ouyang Jian looked at the soaring posture of the fighters, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although these fighters were made by the United States, there were some regrets in the ointment, but they still made Ouyang Jian's heart fluctuate.

He seemed to see one Japanese fighter plane after another crashing in smoke, and he seemed to see a large number of planes bombing the Japanese army. The positive result of decades of painstaking cultivation, the dream comes true!
