Chapter 732: Air Combat

On the way to the barracks dormitory, Yang Shou carried his own burden and didn't talk much, but he was always in that thoughtful state, and no one would disturb him. Qi Yuan asked Yuan Zishan curiously, "What happened just now, the squad leader and Xiao Jiao seem to be matchmakers." ”

Yuan Zishan smiled heartily and said, "We're just joking, don't take it seriously." ”

Jiao Hui was younger and even more jumpy, he came over and hugged Qi Yuan's shoulder, and said: "Unless Brother Qi you really have thoughts about Meng Jiao's girl, although we haven't been together for a long time, I think Brother Qi is a good person, but Meng Jiao's stupid girl loves to die and love to live and die Doctor Liang, it's hard to say." ”

Qi Yuan asked: "Is that Dr. Liang Xuejun very bad?" ”

Wei Jin interjected: "This Liang Xuejun is an aspiring young man from Shanghai, the conditions are very good, and he is also valued by the organization, especially in terms of medical ability, which is indispensable for our medical station." He has good manners, good looks, can write poetry, understands three or four Chinese, and is also very good at playing musical instruments, especially to please girls. Not to mention our Nurse Meng, the female comrades who accompany the army, which one of them doesn't want to find Dr. Liang to be a wishful husband? If you want to say that he has a bad enemy, in fact, you can't really find it. ”

Yuan Zishan said at this time: "I think this Liang Xuejun always feels weird, I think he seems to be too perfect, and he has to be so good in front of people, maybe he has high requirements for himself, but maybe he wants to hide something." Anyway, I don't think very well of him. Hehe, maybe I'm jealous of Dr. Liang too? ”

Qi Yuan understands that Jiao Hui is a young man who particularly admires Yuan Zishan, if Yuan Zishan doesn't like Liang Xuejun, then Jiao Hui dislikes Liang Xuejun is certain. In addition, Jiao Hui and Meng Jiao are fellow villagers, and he doesn't want Meng Jiao to be unladylike, so he always looks for Liang Xuejun's stubble in front of Meng Jiao.

Yuan Zishan said again: "People are in love freely, it has nothing to do with us, don't mess around with these things, think about how to fight devils is the most important thing." ”

Jiao Hui said: "Meng Jiao hasn't gotten along with Liang Xuejun yet, even if it's good, I have to dismantle them." ”

Yuan Zishan smiled helplessly, patted Jiao Hui on the back of the head and said: "Okay, don't talk about this, Lao Yang just came back, we have changed a lot in the past few days, you take him around and talk about some new things happening around us." ”

Qi Yuan also learned that Yang Shou, who didn't like to talk much, was the oldest soldier in the class. He was not born in China, but a child of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and later Yang Shou accepted the idea of GC doctrine and invested great enthusiasm, and his loyalty and fanaticism to the red cause have even reached the point where ordinary people cannot understand. This is a more extreme red soldier, in the words of Qi Yuan's era, a GC fundamentalist, it stands to reason that he is an overseas identity, and he has participated in the revolution for a long time, so he should not be a big soldier a long time ago. However, Yang Shou repeatedly violated discipline and did not obey discipline very much, so even if he was promoted, he was degraded by others, so he has been a soldier until now.

Yang Shou heard that Yuan Zishan wanted Jiao Hui to take him to see new things, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I want to see the Wheel King who helped us occupy Wuhu." ”

Jiao Hui shook his head and said, "No, the Wheel King is not in Wuhu, as for where it is, I'm afraid you have to ask the Iron Commander." ”

Yang Shou asked, "Was the Wheel King directly dispatched by the Iron Commander?" ”

"Who can know this, everyone doesn't know how the Wheel King came about." Jiao Hui rolled his eyes, although Tie Xun announced the existence of the Wheel King to the ordinary soldiers at that time, but the specific matter of the red ghost, as well as the spirits of the thousands of GC worlds, the "Cosmic GC Doctrine International Column" that assisted the development of the red cause in the other world, he did not say anything to the soldiers. The soldiers just knew that the Wheel King came from a magical place, and he was specially here to help the New Fourth Army fight against Japan and fight devils. As for the surrender of the 30,000 soldiers of the national army, it was also attributed to the inspiration of the Wheel King, and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

As a GC fundamentalist, Yang Shou was originally a staunch materialist and atheist, and he didn't think that the Wheel King was a god or demon, but he also had his own theory, he said: "It must be a genius GC scientist somewhere who has developed this invincible weapon and planted the red flag all over the world for us to fight." ”

Qi Yuan almost laughed, what kind of red flag is planted all over the universe and something like that, his father used to tell him, he just listened to it as a joke, his father Qi Yiming is a big flicker of pragmatism, although in essence he also firmly believes in the realization of GC society, but he is more practical and utilitarian, and can always choose a better and more suitable middle route, and will not be like some fundamentalists and extremists, messing around.

Yang Shou is so crazy that the people in the class are used to it, and everyone doesn't care about him, and goes to the canteen to eat. The food in the canteen has been pretty good lately, at least with some oil and water. Like a daily lunch, half of the soldiers can see enough rice, and two other dishes, although not very good.

Everyone had eaten lunch like a storm, and just as they were about to pack up the rice bowl and other things, they heard a terrible air defense siren over Wuhu.

Yuan Zishan immediately shouted: "It's not good, it's an air raid." ”

Most of the soldiers are a little flustered and don't know how to resist it, and Wuhu does not have proper air defense facilities or anything, which makes them very passive. After all, the New Fourth Army is still young, and it is still quite unsuitable for the sudden transformation from a guerrilla army with difficult conditions to such a regular army.

Wang Dailiang saw that the soldiers of the New Fourth Army in the canteen were panicked, and jumped directly on the table and shouted: "You guys look like you, are you a little backbone, are we afraid of the devil's plane?" We've got the Wheel King! ”

At this time, someone reacted and said: "Yes, yes, yes, we have the Wheel King, and no plane can beat an opponent like the Wheel King." ”

"Absolutely, Wuhu is unbreakable!"

……

And the real master of the Runner King, Qi Yuan, has no intention of letting the Runner King shoot at all, it's not that he wants to see death or not save him, the Japanese army sent over this time, in fact, it is just a few reconnaissance planes and escort fighters, which can't cause any damage to Wuhu at all, and even if he intercepts, it is too cost-effective to dispatch the Runner King, and he has already handed over a number of La-11 fighters to the New Fourth Army earlier.

The La-11 is a long-range escort fighter designed by the Lavochkin Design Bureau for the Soviet Union after World War II, and more than a hundred of them were also in service with the Chinese Air Force that year. Most of the manufacturing lists of the Wheel King are China-related weapons of the year, and the appearance of the La-11 is not unexpected.

The La-11 is a very good piston fighter, and it is slightly difficult to compare with competitors such as the P-51 and F8F, but at the same level, it is not a problem to destroy all the piston fighters in service in 1941. However, the Japanese army dispatched only a few Type 97 reconnaissance planes and Type 97 fighters, and the total number did not exceed 10, so it can be seen that the Japanese army did not know what was happening in Wuhu at all, but the long-term contempt for China still made them negligently send a little force to come over and see what was going on.

"Can our air force fight?" Tie Xun pulled Liu Yuqing and was still a little relieved.

A few days ago, the Runner brought 12 La-11 fighters and two Li-2 transport planes (that is, Soviet-made DC-3), and the New Fourth Army was initially formed its own air force. However, with the plane, the New Fourth Army did not have anyone who could fly an airplane, but among the people who came over, there were pilots who were poured out by Qi Yuan, so they became the first batch of members of the New Fourth Army Air Force. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tie Xun also recruited many soldiers of the New Fourth Army with good conditions to join the air force to study, hoping that they would be able to complete their studies as soon as possible and become pilots trained and trusted by the New Fourth Army itself.

"There is no problem, the Japanese have only a few fighters, and they are nowhere near as powerful as our La-11 fighters." Liu Yuqing assured Tie Xun.

The New Fourth Army naturally does not have radar, but there is a runner king in low orbit who is watching here, and the movement of the Japanese aircraft was quickly discovered by it and reported to Qi Yuan, who also warned the whole army through Liu Yuqing, this kind of air defense alert capability is unique in this era.

All 12 La-11 fighters of the New Fourth Army were dispatched, and Tie Xun and other high-level officials watched these warhawks take off at the Wanli military airfield, and they couldn't help but feel proud and apprehensive at the same time.

In terms of combat performance, the Japanese Army Air Force's Type 97 fighter is much inferior to the La-11, and in medium and low altitude operations, the La-11 can be said to be one of the most difficult opponents of the piston fighter, and there are very few that can be tied with it. The 97 War used a 610 hp engine with a top speed of only 460 km/h, while the La-11 had a 1,850 hp engine with a maximum airspeed of 674 km/h. There are only two 7s in the ninety-seven war. 7mm aviation machine guns, while the La-11 was armed with three 23mm aerial guns. Even if the pilots of the Japanese Army Aviation are not bad, but there is a huge gap in equipment, so that almost one or two face-to-face efforts, the Japanese planes were shot down by the La-11 one after another. Even if those 97 detectives wanted to rely on their "high speed" to break away and convey the news that China's **** had powerful fighters to the Japanese military headquarters, La-11 still easily and happily caught up with these 97 detectives, knocking them down from the air one by one like swatting mosquitoes.

The place where the air battle took place was not far from Wuhu, and some Wuhu citizens could even faintly see the air battle, and they could even see the Japanese planes painted with the symbol of the rising sun dragging black smoke down from the sky, and everyone cheered and danced.
