Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gao Zhihang Joins
After taking Mukden Airport, Mu Han's plan can be said to have basically come true. At present, the important equipment and engineers and workers of the Fengtian Arsenal have also left Mukden one after another under the persuasion of Huang Xiansheng, the armored regiment of the Ninth Division of Helong, and all the soldiers of the third squadron of the original Fengtian Arsenal Garrison Brigade.
Now, with the vigorous cooperation of the officers and men of the Northeast Army and Air Force, all the transport planes in the Northeast have also joined the ranks of transporting materials and equipment, which has undoubtedly greatly accelerated the process of Mu Han's plan. Now what Mu Han and the Dragon Guards have to do is how to clean up the devils and retreat effectively!
In order to completely solve the threat of the Japanese air force, Mu Han ordered Cheng Dongshan, commander of the Air Combat Brigade of the Ninth Division of the Longjiu Division, to divide the original pilots of the Northeast Army and the air force fighters supported by the Wolongshan Headquarters into four flying groups, each with 50 pilots, leaving two flying groups at the Dongta airfield, and sending the remaining two brigades to the two newly built airfields of Huludao and Beiling respectively to receive planes and other equipment.
When Mu Han was directing the flight operation of the Longwei Air Force at Fengtian Airport, a signal soldier came with a walkie-talkie to report, saying that he had received a call request from Xiao Ran and Xu Haiyong.
Mu Han thought for a while, there must be something new on the battlefield, "Let's cut Xu Haiyong's signal first!" ”
"Yes"
"Commander-in-chief, the little devils in Fengtian have been almost cleaned up by us, but now a group of little devils suddenly appeared, not wearing military uniforms and not carrying any weapons, they sent people to hold white flags, saying that they were asking for a temporary truce and collecting the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers!"
"What? The little devil took the initiative to ask for a truce? Mu Han asked in surprise.
"Yes, the representative sent by the little devil to negotiate is now standing outside the gate of the Beida camp with a white flag, what should we do?" Xu Haiyong asked curiously.
"Where did they come from? What is the name of the lead negotiator? Mu Han continued to ask.
"I don't know, it doesn't look like they are regular soldiers, there are a few people dressed as samurai, and their cultivation is very good, what is the name of the leader!" Xu Haiyong replied.
"What? Are you sure it's called Qi Nan Yangzhi? Mu Han asked in some surprise.
"That's right, Commander-in-Chief! I'm sure that guy speaks Chinese very fluently! ”
"Alright, you can agree to their request to collect the corpse, and ignore the rest! After I talk to Xiao Ran later, I will decide on the next deployment of your department!" Mu Han said with a slight groan.
"Yes! Commander! ”
The communication soldier also switched the signal to the channel of Xiao Ran's Longyin group.
"I'm Mu Han! Please speak! ”
"Commander-in-chief! I'm Xiao Ran. MI100,000 is urgent! According to reliable information received by the Longyin Group, a new Japanese aircraft carrier formation and a number of troop carriers were stationed at the port of Lucheng. According to rough estimates, there should not be a horse pulling division! About 60 planes are preparing to refuel and hang bombs. At the same time, just after a call from the Jilin Longyin Group, Xi Qia, chief of staff of the Office of the Deputy Commander of the Northeast Frontier Army in Jilin Province, had openly surrendered to the enemy, and most of his troops had surrendered. The main force of the Japanese 2nd Division entered and occupied Jilin, and formed a flanking trend with the Japanese 20th Division drawn from Korea to form Mukden. In addition, according to the observation of the border outposts, the Japanese seemed to be in a hurry, and an air combat brigade of the Korean army was all dispatched and attacked Mukden. Xiao Ran said hurriedly, "Also, just now, there was a group of devils in Fengtian City waving a white flag and running towards the northern camp!" Please make arrangements as soon as possible! ”
"Okay, I know, order the Long Yin Group to continue to observe, and at the same time inform Sun Feng to order the troops to prepare for retreat immediately!" Although Mu Han's tone was still very relaxed, Dan's heart had already risen with monstrous waves.
Unexpectedly, in just over a day, history was completely rewritten. At this time in later history, the Japanese army did not send an aircraft carrier formation at all, and it seems that the sneak attack the night before should have completely angered the Japanese naval leadership. At the same time, now that the Dragon Guard Army has beaten the Japanese, the little devil is ready to win or lose in a war, otherwise how could he send a whole air combat brigade to Mukden?
Mu Han paced back and forth in place a few times with the walkie-talkie, pondered for a while, and decisively gave an order.
"Signal soldier, power generation immediately"
"Order, Guan Yue, Guan Xingzhao and his son do a good job of Su Jingshan, Su Huiying's father and daughter, and immediately blow up the surface organ of Su Mansion. Wipe the whole Su Mansion to the ground for me. Half of the troops were left behind to lurk on the Sacred Trail Mountain. The rest of the forces cooperated with Jiang Yunping's 92nd Regiment as the rear troops of our department. Cover the evacuation of the large troops of the Dragon Ninth Division! ”
"Order Xu Haiyong's troops, leave one-third of the troops to contain the enemy, and the rest of the forces quickly retreat!"
"Order the Wan Qirong Department of the Armored Regiment, except for retaining the necessary transport vehicles, all the other tanks and combat vehicles will drive into the Fengtian Arsenal to set up mines! After that, all evacuate with the large army! ”
"Command! Xu Shengda's troops and Huang Xiansheng's troops of the regiments directly under the Longjiu Division carried enough weapons and ammunition to take away some weapons and ammunition that had not had time to be transported from the Fengtian Arsenal, and drove into various cottages such as Erlong Mountain, Da Lianzigou, and Tiger Cave to lurk! Be careful not to go to Skyline! ”
"Order the Morrowind Department to take the initiative to evacuate after choosing the opportunity to attack the Japanese army again!"
"Order all units not to care about those bottles and cans, except for the necessary anti-aircraft weapons and secret weapons, the others should be thrown and bombed! Full March! ”
As Mu Han's orders were issued, the Dragon Guard Army immediately entered a strategic shift.
"Commander-in-chief, what about our air combat brigade? How is there no task for us? Cheng Dongshan, the captain of the Air Combat Brigade of the Ninth Dragon Division, said anxiously, "I heard just now that the little devil's plane is coming?" The commander-in-chief will let us go?"
"Yes! Commander-in-chief, let's get on, it's always in flight simulation, and we can't practice combat effectiveness! Didn't you say that actual combat is the best way to train troops? One of the air combat forces supported by the Wolongshan headquarters said excitedly.
"Oh? What is your name? How old is it? Mu Han saw that the speaker was eager to fight, his eyes lit up, and he was also interested!
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! Humble Shen Tianfang! 28 years old! ”
"Have you ever flown independently?"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! Since the launch of the Spark program, he has served in the Luftwaffe for two years, has a solo flight record of 480 hours, and was the deputy squadron leader of the first squadron of the first brigade of the German 3rd Air Combat Division! Shen Tianfang said proudly.
"Oh!" Mu Han became even more interested when he heard this, "How many of the people who carried out the Starfire plan with you chose the Air Force?" How many people are coming to Mukden now? ”
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! At the beginning, I and a group of 218 people went abroad for further study, and 116 of them chose to join the Air Force according to the requirements of Chief of General Staff Chen Qi, and now there are a total of 66 people supporting the Mukden operation! ”
"Then after you return to China, can you learn the rules of air combat of the Dragon Guard?"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! After returning to China, I systematically studied the air combat rules you wrote, and I felt that I had improved a lot, and many of the tactics and technologies in it were more advanced than those of the German army! The humble position has gained a lot! ”
"Good!" Mu Han nodded frequently.
"Since Brother Shen has returned from Germany, I don't know if you dare to fight Japan with me?" Someone from the original Northeast Army Air Force stood up, only to see that his legs did not seem to be ordinary, and his right leg seemed to be a little disabled, and he seemed to be walking bumpy.
At this time, Mu Han's eyes widened, and he secretly said in his heart: My god shouldn't be Gao Zhihang!
"This benevolent brother, Shen has been looking forward to this day for a long time!"
"This brother, can his surname be Gao?" Mu Han asked.
Before this person could speak, Cheng Dongshan, the captain of the Air Combat Brigade of the Dragon Ninth Division on the side, hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief! This person is the pilot of the Flying Eagle Brigade of the Northeast Army Aviation Department and the major instructor of the Northeast Aviation Education Class Gao Zhihang. ”
"Good! Good! Good! Mu Han said hello three times in a row, then walked a few steps, stepped forward to hold Gao Zhihang's hand with both hands, and said with some excitement: "Welcome Mr. Gao to join my Dragon Guard!" ”
Mu Han paused slightly, "Now I announce the latest appointment, Gao Zhihang!" ”
"Here!"
"In my capacity as the supreme commander of the Dragon Guard, I appoint you as the commander of the First Air Combat Division of the Dragon Guard. Correspondent! ”
"Here!"
"Send this order immediately to all the departments of the army!"
"Yes!"
"Ahh "Ahh Gao Zhihang and Cheng Dongshan were stupid, they didn't know why Mu Han attached so much importance to Gao Zhihang, and he was named the supreme general of the Longwei Air Force as soon as they met.
Cheng Dongshan was a little unconvinced, and the air combat forces sent by the Wolongshan headquarters, especially those with overseas study experience, were even more unconvinced.
Gao Zhihang was very surprised, he didn't know why this supreme leader of the Dragon Guard Army, who appeared almost out of thin air, thought so highly of himself. The other pilots of the Northeast Army were also shocked.
In fact, others don't know Gao Zhihang, but Mu Han, who has the memory of two lifetimes, is too familiar with one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Air Force of Country Z in later generations, the Battle of Songhu was the first time that the Air Force of Country Z shot down an enemy plane, and Gao Zhihang, a famous anti-Japanese hero and national hero of Country Z during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. At his memorial service, President Chiang personally presided over it and laid a wreath to mourn, writing "Gao Zhihang was a heroic martyr, his death was great, his life was mighty, and he will be immortalized." It is no exaggeration to say that Gao Zhihang was the first person in the air force of country Z at that time, and it is not an exaggeration.
Such an excellent air force general appeared in front of him, if Mu Han didn't pull him into his team, he would be too sorry for his foresight.
"Why is Mr. Gao unwilling to condescend? Oh! Forgot to tell you about my Dragon Guard Air Force? Our Longwei Air Force was established five years ago, and now it has 500 aircraft of various types, 56 foreign instructors, and more than 1,000 pilots! But I don't have much actual combat experience! In the future, I hope that Mr. Gao will vigorously train him! Mu Han saw Gao Zhihang standing there stunned, thinking that he was unwilling, so he said like a wolf grandmother tempting a little fat sheep.
In fact, Gao Zhihang was stunned, he was surprised by Mu Han's appointment at first, this is too direct, right? When you first met yourself as a big official? But after listening to Mu Han's introduction, Gao Zhihang was completely petrified. "Good boy! 500 aircraft! More than 1000 pilots! Now it's second to none in country Z! Even the Northeast Army, which was originally the strongest in the Air Force, was far behind! ”
After about a minute, Gao Zhihang came to his senses, "Is what Commander Mu said true?" Did I hear me right? Do you Dragon Guards really have 500 planes? More than 1000 pilots? ”
"Of course, our commander-in-chief also wrote the air combat code himself! It can be said that the pilots of all countries in this world are incomparable! Shen Tian said arrogantly.
"Oh! Then Brother Shen, can you lend me your so-called air combat rules! Gao Zhihang came to his senses when he heard this.
"No problem! The commander-in-chief's air combat code is carried by our Dragon Guard pilots as a treasure book! Saying that, Shen Tianfang took out a thin booklet from his arms and lifted it over.
"Twin (four-plane) follow-up formation, two-plane dense formation, two-plane olive formation, three-plane defense and support formation......."
"Direct Attack, Pincer Attack, Bottom Attack, Horizontal Block, Vertical Block, Combo Block, ......."
"Side Attack" Tactic: "When the attack aircraft enter the lock target distance, the cover formation begins to prepare for the attack, and its long aircraft implements the target lock. If the opponent has been locked in advance, the commander of the covering formation can cast a jam to disrupt the opponent's tracking, and the wingman completes the corrective turn to the left or right and descends to a low altitude in order to enter the opponent's flank. ”
"Head-to-head" tactics: "Head-to-head" tactics are often used when the attack formation is behind a covering formation, or at the same distance from the target. The tactical moves are basically the same as the "Side Attack". The covering formation is ready to attack, and after entering the enemy's launch area, it completes a corrective turn to the left or right, creating conditions for the attack formation to covertly carry out a head-to-head attack. ”
…….
Gao Zhihang looked at it quickly, the excitement on his face became stronger and stronger, "Commander Mu, these are all written by you?" ”
"Of course!" Mu Han's face was a little unnatural, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, as a standard military fan in later generations, he had soaked all over the major forum websites. Don't look at these are just provided by Du Niang, in this era, it is undoubtedly a "top cheat".
"Good! Whoever can write such a tactic will never be wrong with his air force! Gao received the order! Gao Zhihang said excitedly.
"Great! To be able to get the senior brother to join, my Dragon Guard can be said to be like a tiger with wings! Receiving Gao Zhihang's approval, Mu Han was naturally overjoyed, "Brother Gao, I don't know how the air combat strength of the Northeast Army is, I mean the situation of the pilots?" ”
"Report to the chief, under the persuasion of Captain Cheng, there are now a total of 98 pilots who want to fight devils, including me, if we can fight a beautiful air battle! There will be more former pilots of the Northeast Army who defected to the Dragon Guard! Because, although the Dragon Guard Army had annihilated two Japanese South Manchurian Railway Garrison Brigades yesterday, this record was very amazing, but after all, it was an army operation. If we have a good fight with the little devil's Air Force, we can also achieve excellent results, and I guarantee that some of my friends and classmates will come back to join our Air Force! Gao Zhihang said confidently.
"Brother Gao, deal with the carrier-based aircraft of a Japanese army air force and an aircraft carrier! Are you sure? Mu Han asked with a serious face at this time.
"A Japanese army air brigade has 36 planes of various types, including 4 reconnaissance planes, 12 bombers, and 20 fighter planes. As far as I know, the aircraft carrier formation that Japan can fight independently at present should be Japan's aircraft carrier "Akagi". The aircraft carrier "Akagi" was started in November 1923, launched in April 1925, and completed in March 1927. Its three decks are designed to be quite special: the top deck is the landing deck for aircraft; On the second deck, there is a bridge and two twin 203 mm guns, so it is called the "turret deck"; The third level is the take-off deck, which is 56.7 meters long and can carry 60 fighters, including 16 fighters, 16 armed reconnaissance aircraft and 28 attack aircraft. In other words, we are likely to face a total of 96 aircraft of all types, which will be very difficult. Gao Zhihang said cautiously.
Gao Zhihang's words shocked everyone, including Mu Han, who did not expect Gao Zhihang to be so familiar with Japan's air force.
Mu Han couldn't help nodding frequently after hearing this, and he deserved to be the first person in the air force of country Z in the history of later generations.
"Brother Gao, I know that the Northeast Army now has more than 260 aircraft, and now I don't know how many planes can be lifted into the air to fight." Although Cheng Dongshan had already reported to Mu Han, for the sake of safety, Mu Han still wanted to hear what Gao Zhihang had to say. After all, Cheng Dongshan was only the deputy captain of the airport garrison brigade, and he belonged to the airport security force, and he definitely did not know as much about the situation of front-line combat aircraft as Gao Zhihang.
"Report to the chief, the Northeast Army is more than 260 aircraft, including 80 of the latest French Gaudron G3 fighters, it can be said that they can completely suppress Japan's Type 96 fighters, because Zhang Shaoshuai attaches great importance to the construction of the Air Force, the daily maintenance of other aircraft is also good, except for the 30 transport planes that have participated in the transport mission, the other more than 200 planes can take off at any time. But I'm afraid that our pilots are not as powerful as the Japanese! Most of us don't have much real experience! ”
"Good! Japan came with 96 planes, better cover the transfer of troops, and in order to defeat the arrogance of the little devils, Brother Gao, I am configuring you with 200 of the most advanced German Junkers fighters! At the same time, I will send a group of foreign instructors from the Dragon Guard Air Force to fight with you! 400:96, brother, you should have faith! Mu Han said with a smile.
"Sir, this is true! But where are your fighters, I haven't heard of such a large air force anywhere in the Northeast? Gao Zhihang was a little hard to believe.
"Brother Gao, there are no in the three eastern provinces, but there is one in Rehe, the headquarters of the Dragon Guard! I don't think it will take too long to take off from Rehe to Mukden! Mu Han said confidently. At the same time, I have prepared a secret weapon for you, and as long as you hold out until dark, I guarantee that all the Japanese planes will be given in vain. ”
"Send a telegram to the Rehe headquarters, and order Claire, the former commander of the First Division of the Dragon Guard Air Force, to lead all the members of the foreign training corps and the students with excellent grades to fly the Junker fighter with the most advanced night vision system to Mukden to participate in the war! Make no mistake! Mu Han decisively gave the order!
"What? Night vision system? Sir, you're saying that your most advanced fighter planes can fight flexibly at night? Gao Zhihang's jaw almost fell to the ground in shock.
"Not bad!" Mu Han nodded slightly.
"That's good! As long as I can fly such a plane, I am sure that all the Japanese planes will be wiped out! It is even possible to sink the aircraft carriers of the Japanese! Gao Zhihang said proudly.
