On July 5, 1944, Lieutenant General Zhang Houqun, commander of the 10th Guards Army, and representatives of the U.S. Army held the first battlefield communication meeting between the Han and U.S. armies after the start of the war at Lovelock, and negotiated on the return of Brigadier General Jonathan's body.

The Chief of the General Staff of the US Army, Admiral Bradley, did not attend the meeting. After President Truman approved the battle plan for the Battle of Dallas, Bradley flew overnight to Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas. It was here that it would become the general headquarters of the U.S. Army for the Battle of Dallas.

However, the US side still attaches great importance to the talks between the two militaries held in Lovelock. After being encircled by the Allied forces, the 13th Armored Division has become a heroic division in the eyes of the United States. Although their demise was still inevitable, calls for Washington to rebuild the 13th Panzer Division have been quite loud across the United States.

U.S. Secretary of the Army Stimson attended the Lovelock talks, which is unusual for the U.S. military, which emphasizes symmetry in ranks. Because Zhang Houqun, the chief representative of the Allied Forces, was only a lieutenant general of the army, although in the Han Empire and even within the Great Alliance, the rank of the Guards Corps was recognized to be higher than that of other troops, but when it came to general talks with enemy countries, this article would obviously not be applied.

At Lovelock, Minister Stimson did not raise any grievances about the matter. In the words of Zhang Houqun's report to Ye Shuai after the talks, the two sides had in-depth exchanges, reached consensus, and exchanged views on important issues of common concern in a friendly and constructive atmosphere. General Stimson, commander of the US Army, hopes and welcomes that when the two militaries are at war, they will not forget the humanitarianism and jointly safeguard human civilization......

Ye Shuai turned the page directly, skipped the large amount of nonsense that Zhang Houqun arranged for several pens to waste a night of hard work, and found the answer he wanted in the last paragraph of the report: On July 12, the United States agreed in principle that this day was the day of air armistice between the two armies, and that the planes sent by the Allies would be allowed to land in Salt Lake City and return the body of Brigadier General Jonathan and the prisoners of the "wounded soldiers" of the 14 loyal guardians.

The mission of returning the remains will be carried out by Allied Tyrannosaurus Rex military transport planes, and the Allied escort planes will begin their return flight after reaching the top of the Great Salt Lake, escorting the mission to the U.S. fighter jets.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex transport plane spent thirty minutes at the military airfield in Salt Lake City......

There are many more details about the return of the remains, and the Americans have never been meticulous in this regard, and they will not leave out any details. But after Ye Shuai saw the date "July 12", he threw the report aside.

Now that the date is set, it is enough! The matter of ink with the Americans is handed over to Zhang Houqun, as for what should be fully displayed in the ceremony The image of our army's mighty army and civilized army and so on, I believe that without Ye Shuai's explanation, everyone will do a good job.

Without calling the communications staff officer, Ye Shuai personally walked into the telegraph room and sent a very short top-secret telegram to Chang'an: 7. 12。

received a call from Ye Shuai, and General Long Xiaotian knew this date.

At Hidalgo del Padar Air Base in Mexico's Chihuahua province, the RAF's 22nd Special Service Squadron is conducting its final training exercises. The conditions of this air base are very simple, located between low mountains, quite far from the city, surrounded by desert and alkaline land, and uninhabited. But there is a 3,000-meter-long runway that can take off all Allied aircraft, including the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and because of its wide field of view and secrecy, it is an excellent place to practice bombing.

Although the climate here is hot and the living conditions are poor, the life of the 22nd Special Service Squadron here is still quite good. The Allies arranged for a special plane to travel between San Francisco and Hidalgo-del Padar Air Force Base, and all the supplies needed by the personnel of the 22nd Special Service Squadron were airlifted. Not to mention fruits and vegetables, even the sea fish are alive and well.

In the Allied command in Los Angeles, the 22nd Special Service Squadron was also covered with a layer of mystery. With the exception of a handful of high-ranking generals, no one knew what their tasks were. The direct commander of the 22nd Special Service Squadron was General Long Xiaotian, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Air Force, and he demanded that all personnel of the squadron maintain a high degree of secrecy, but in fact, even the pilots of the Special Service Squadron did not know what the secrets they had to keep were.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Van Sang, 32 years old. The earliest bomber pilots of the Royal Air Force, who flew all the bomber models of the empire such as the H-5, Cerberus, and Qiulong, participated in several large-scale battles such as the bombing of Taipei, the bombing of Tokyo, and the bombing of Cairo, and was recognized as the best bomber pilot in the strategic bomber unit of the Royal Air Force, and also Long Xiaotian's right-hand man.

Three months ago, Li Fansheng, who was on leave in South China, received a notice from the Royal Air Force Command that he must rush back to Chang'an within 24 hours to report to Air Marshal Yun Jiu.

Leaving his beloved wife on the Great Barrier Reef, Li Fansheng took a military transport plane to the Royal Air Force Headquarters in the Baihu District of Chang'an in the Qingzhou Military Region. There, he met with the commander of the Royal Air Force, Marshal Yun Jiu, and his old boss, General Long Xiaotian.

Facing the two giants of the Royal Air Force, being received by them at the same time, Li Van Sang felt extremely honored, and at the same time, he was also keenly aware that this mission was definitely not ordinary.

After saluting the military salute, Li Fansheng stood straight in front of Yun Shuai's desk.

Yun Jiu and Long Xiaotian looked at each other and smiled, although the difference in rank was large, they were all familiar with the handsome officers in front of them. At a time when the Royal Air Force only had two types of models, the J-5 and H-5, was already an excellent bomber pilot. In Philip Bay, the British aircraft carrier Athletic was sunk that year, and this kid made a meritorious service.

"As of today, you have been promoted to the rank of Colonel in the Air Force and will be the commander of the newly formed 22nd Special Service Squadron. This special service squadron will be under direct command from the command and will soon travel to North America to join the Allied operational sequence. ”

Long Xiaotian's expression was very stern, "The following conversation I have with you is a five-star secret that His Majesty has personally listed as the highest secret aircraft of the Empire, as an excellent Royal Air Force officer, Colonel Li Fansheng, I believe that your loyalty can withstand the test of the Empire." ”

……

To this day, recalling the conversation between Yun Shuai and Admiral Long, Li Fansheng is still excited. Although he still doesn't know anything about what the "naughty baby" is, he still keeps in mind Yun Shuai's words, "Whether the 22nd Special Service Squadron can complete the mission smoothly will determine the success or failure of the North American War and the course of the Han Zhongxing, so only success is allowed, not failure." ”

At the local Dahan Bay Air Base, Long Xiaotian intervened, and the elite generals of the Royal Air Force selected with Li Fansheng conducted secret high-altitude visual bombing training.

At a time when radar had begun to be used in advanced warplanes of various countries, and when the technology of helmet-mounted sights and fire control systems was advancing with each passing day, the pilots of the Royal Air Force, who had become accustomed to high-tech operations, were very puzzled by visual bombing training. The empire's technology is ahead of the world, especially in aerospace, I heard that even the spy satellite is about to be successfully launched, why did it start this kind of ancient and backward training again?

The plane flew at an altitude of several thousand meters, and a large circle with a diameter of 100 meters drawn in lime on the ground was, in the eyes of the pilots, just a dot. If you use radar to locate and hit such a large target, it is not a difficult task. However, relying on an old-fashioned sight for aiming was very uncomfortable at first.

And the way of the bombing is even more perplexing to them. Each time it flew alone, and only one bomb was dropped, and this bomb was also very peculiar, much larger than ordinary bombs, weighing four or five tons. Immediately after each bomb drop, the plane makes a 155° dive turn, and then it has to accelerate rapidly, and even in training, it is strictly required to leave the target area within a few seconds.

Why? There were also questions from pilots, but Colonel Levan replied: This is an order from the Supreme Commander.

In the minds of the Red Guard soldiers, there is a word that is more worthy of loyalty and reverence than "Emperor Han", and that is the Supreme Commander. This word can touch the hearts of the Red Guard soldiers more than the righteousness of the nation and the safety of the country.

Even if they knew that the bomb must not be an ordinary bomb, and that such a highly secret mission, a mission ordered by His Majesty himself, was likely to be a life-fighting journey, and its danger was definitely far greater than any previous bombing.

But no one withdrew, and no one even hesitated. Serving the Supreme Commander and being loyal to His Majesty, in their eyes, is fate.

Four "Raptors", two "Tenryu", and the other two are flying-wing "Dragon" bombers. All of them are the latest fighters that have just left the aircraft factory at the main base in Queens.

It can be said that the tiny 22nd Special Service Squadron concentrates the best pilots of the Royal Air Force and the most advanced fighters of the Empire. Li Fansheng knew that he was not necessarily the last person to carry out the mission, because the "Raptor" and "Tianlong" fighters also participated in bomb throwing training from beginning to end, and these specially modified fighters also had the ability to carry "giant bombs."

Moreover, compared with fighters, the advantages and disadvantages of the "Qiulong" bomber in its ability to perform such special tasks are very obvious. All of them still need to be evaluated by air force experts, and Admiral Long Xiaotian has also bluntly said that the final bombing plan will definitely be finalized by His Majesty.

However, Colonel Li Fansheng still sprayed his beloved wife's name on the fuselage of his "Qiu Long" bomber, Lan Fen, which reads somewhat similar to Concubine Lan.

After many years in the army, there were very few days to be with his beloved wife, and it was easy for him to take his turn to take a vacation, and he planned to take her to the east coast of the empire to have a good time, and to swim all over the Great Barrier Reef that she had longed for. Unexpectedly, he was recalled to Chang'an by a telegram and left the family alone in Qingzhou.

In 1938, Lan Fen, who had just graduated from Peking Women's Normal University, immigrated to Nanhua with her business-oriented parents. During a military-local friendship, Li Fansheng met Lan Fen, who was a middle school teacher in Jixian County, Youzhou.

But...... Soon after, the War of Resistance broke out, and then the empire began to take steps to dominate the world. As an officer of the Royal Air Force, Li Fansheng knew that he was ashamed of his beloved wife, and naming his fighter plane after his beloved wife was equivalent to combining two people and things in the world that are most worthy of his cherishment.

After spraying the two words full of love on the fuselage himself, Colonel Li suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength.
