Chapter 432: Zero Appears

March 23, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938).

It was a day of great joy for our Chief Su, and this day of celebration was something that Su Tong had never experienced. Su Tong was even more excited than the Chahar army's recovery of Jinzhou, because today is our Su Commander, who has never experienced it in later generations or now, and his first child has appeared.

In a single room in the best obstetrics and gynecology department of Chahar First Hospital, Su Tong hugged his swaddling clothes and wrapped his whole body tightly, and only a small wrinkled face was exposed, and the joy in his heart was really inflated.

"This is my child, this is my own flesh and blood!" Holding his newborn child, Su Tong felt a sense of flesh and blood, and with a burst of ecstasy in his heart, he finally felt that he had left traces of his past existence in this time and space. He felt that no matter what he had achieved, he could not compare to the birth of this little life.

"Honey, show me my little darling, if he or she is a boy or a girl." A faint voice rang in Su Tong's ears, drawing the attention of Chief Su, who was overjoyed.

Su Tong looked back at Yulia, who had used too much energy because of childbirth, and her face was a little pale and haggard, and gently sent the swaddling clothes in her arms over. He gently kissed his lover's face and said, "My dear, our daughter will be as beautiful as you when she grows up." ”

Carefully taking the child, Yulia looked at the baby in her arms, and her face gradually became bitter. At this time, the child in his arms had a wrinkled little face, his eyes were tightly closed, and his yellow-brown hair was tightly attached to his head.

"Honey, is this the case with newborn children?"

"Of course! My dear, our baby will grow up to be a beautiful big girl. If it's not pretty, we'll live again. Su Tong hugged his wife beside him and comforted him softly.

Yulia's pale face showed a hint of blush after hearing this, she glanced at her husband, and then looked at her husband sitting next to her, and the child in her arms, she felt that there was nothing happier in this world than now.

At this moment, the door was gently knocked a few times, and then it was pushed open, and a large number of officials and officers such as the little nurse and Xia Juzao and Jiang Baili all poured in, filling the originally spacious ward.

Hehe, Jianming, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on finally becoming a father. Jiang Baili smiled and arched his hand at Su Tong, this somewhat childish action made Su Tong a little crying and laughing.

Immediately, behind Jiang Baili, a kind of government officials led by Xi Hanqian, Hu Lian, Luo Zhuoying, Yu Chengwan and other senior generals in the army all smiled and said hello to Su Tong. This made our Chief Su find the feeling of the day he just got married, that is, his face was stiff with a smile.

"Jianming, is my goddaughter's little girl or a brat?" Jiang Baili asked as if inadvertently.

"Thank you for your concern, Yulia gave birth to a girl." Su Tong replied with a smile.

After Su Tong said this, he felt that the smiles on the faces of the officers next to him seemed to be a little bigger.

"Damn, these guys, why are you smiling so happily when Lao Tzu gave birth to a little girl, has the current atmosphere become more feminine than male?" Su Tong saw the group of officers who were smiling so much that their faces were almost blooming, and he secretly slandered in his heart.

Seeing the generals who were smiling so happily around him, Chief Su put his face on his face, "Since everyone is here, let's have a small meeting, let's go to the conference room next door for a short meeting now, and I want to explain the work in the future." ”

Seeing that the boss rarely exuded a royal spirit, all the generals and officials looked at each other a little. Could it be that we laughed so happily just now that we angered the boss and caused him to wear our little shoes now?

No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they still had to obediently follow the boss to the conference room......

There are no secrets in this world, and the news that the biggest warlord in China has added a new little girl today has quickly spread to the eyes of many well-intentioned people. So in recent days, there have been so many people coming and going in Yulia's ward, and Su Tong has received an endless stream of congratulatory telegrams, and the congratulatory messages sent by bigwigs and dignitaries from all over the country have made our Chief Su dizzy.

Well, it is naturally a good thing to add a girl to the family, and it also brings Su Tong a good mood. Under Su Tong's order, Hu Lian commanded two group armies with several more divisions of 300,000 troops to advance slowly but firmly towards Mukden, led by Qiu Qingquan's Third Armored Division and Wu Jilong's Second Armored Division.

In the face of the slow but firm pace of the Chahar army, the Japanese blocking troops in charge of blocking the task were drowned by the rolling torrent of steel one by one like a mantis arm......

In the "buzzing" sky, six BF-109 fighters were flying at low altitude, and the pilots on the planes were sharply staring at any suspicious targets on the ground.

The flight captain who led the team in the sky was briefing the ground troops behind, "Gecko, gecko, I am the wasp squad, we are a hundred kilometers ahead of you, there are no Japanese troops in front of you, you can speed up, we will provide you with air cover." ”

"Gecko understands, full speed ahead! Please continue to search the situation ahead. After a while, the voice of the ground commander came from the headset.

At this time, a hurried voice suddenly came from the ground commander's headset: "Damn, there are enemy planes ahead!" Hurry up and climb high, climb high damn what kind of plane is this, how is it so flexible, three, three, four, seven, hurry up to avoid it, and roll urgently! Bastards, everyone hurry up and kill them! ”

"Hey, hey, what's going on up ahead!" The ground commander hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on ahead!" But nothing came from the headset except for a rustling sound.

In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese officers who received the good news from the front line were jubilant, and the news that had just come from the front line was that their pilots drove 35 new fighters that had just been sent from the mainland to shoot down six Chahar planes by way of a surprise attack, 6 to 0, and the Japanese army achieved unprecedented glory in fighters, and this new fighter had a well-known name, it was called Zero Warfare

"Ishihara-kun, we finally have a new fighter to deal with those hateful Shina planes, and they can no longer fly freely in the skies above us?" In the office, after receiving the telegram of the victory of the flight unit, Umezu Mijiro couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and couldn't help but cheer in a low voice in front of his friend and subordinate.

Ishihara smiled and nodded, this new homegrown fighter is a new and excellent fighter, and its first battle can be called perfect. Therefore, Ishihara also praised it rarely: "This is a very good fighter, and the BF-109 fighter of the China Air Force is not a zero-type opponent at all." I estimate that except for the -47 fighter in China, which can compete slightly, our snacks are invincible. ”

"Moreover, the base camp has assured us that after several months of emergency repairs, our ordnance enterprise has basically returned to its previous production level, and two hundred Zero fighters will leave the production line in three months. Our Kwantung Army can get at least one hundred and fifty planes. At that point, we will be able to defy the threat from the skies. ”

Umezu Mijiro breathed a long sigh of relief, the locust-like fighter planes of Chahar that had been hovering in the sky had always been a nightmare for Umezu Mijiro, and the reports he received every day were that the ground troops were bombed by Chahar's fighters again, how many personnel and equipment were lost, and the arrival of the Zero fighters allowed him to see a bright dawn in the dark night.

At the same time, Su Tong also received a report from Gao Zhihang, "What? A new fighter of the Japanese appeared in the sky above Mukden? Extremely maneuverable, we've lost six BF-109s and two -47s, and the other side has zero casualties? What the hell is going on? You check it out for me right away! ”

Su Tong, who put down the phone, did not sit down, but stood in front of the desk, thinking about things in a daze: "Japan's new fighter has extremely excellent maneuverability, flexible maneuverability, and very superior climbing performance. Su Tong gritted his teeth and said: "Zero, it must be a damn Zero fighter!" ”

In later generations, the Zero fighter has become a symbol of the Japanese naval aviation and aviation, and it has almost become synonymous with Japan. The Zero fighter was an important milestone in the design of Japanese aircraft. It achieved a number of firsts, the first fully enclosed retractable landing gear; Electrically heated flight suits, large-caliber machine guns, constant-speed propellers, dura aluminum load-bearing structure, bubble-shaped cockpit and large disposable auxiliary fuel tanks and other equipment.

In the early days of the Pacific War, Japan's Zero outperformed all Allied aircraft, especially in terms of maneuverability and endurance. At that time, the American F-2 Buffalo, F-4F Wildcat, -40 Tomahawk and other aircraft were at a loss in the face of the Zero. In Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, the East Indies, and even the Indian Ocean, Zero fighters dominated the skies, laying a firm foundation for Japanese landing operations.

"But isn't the Japanese Zero fighter not being developed until next year? Why did you play early now? Su Tong shook his head with a headache, and grabbed the phone on the table, "Hey, I'm Su Tong, Brother Ziheng?" You get all the flight officers together, and I'm going to give them a collective lesson! ”
