Chapter 933: The First Air Division's Mission (Ask for Subscription!) )
The arrival of the First Air Division
"Buzz, buzz, snort..." A huge roar of airplanes sounded above everyone's heads, followed by a huge grinding sound, which reached everyone's ears. A huge bomber appeared on the edge of the runway of the airfield. Then, under the gaze of everyone, it slowly stopped on the tarmac next to the runway.
At Nanjing Airport, after receiving the order from the central authorities, more than 10,000 commanders and fighters of the First Guard Division of the East China Field Army immediately imposed martial law on the entire airport within a radius of several tens of kilometers.
Just when the entire airport had just been shrouded in the hazy night, it was pitch black, and only a pilot light remained. The two of them, the General Department of the East China Field Army, and the chief of staff Zuo Quan, also secretly came to the airport apron, waiting for the arrival of the First Air Force Aviation Division
"Buzzing and buzzing" accompanied by one roar after another, bombers and fighter planes began to appear in everyone's eyes in a steady stream. In the blink of an eye, the helipad, which was still very empty, was already full of all kinds of combat flights that emitted bursts of silver-white light
Seeing the scene in front of him, even Liu Hua, who came from later generations, was stunned by the huge formation composed of more than 100 fighters in front of him. However, at this moment, there is obviously no extra time to shock Liu Hua, who is standing on the edge of the tarmac. Because, Wang Guangfu, the division commander of the 1st Aviation Division, had already taken all the crew members and quickly jumped off the fighter plane and lined up on the runway
Speaking of Wang Guangfu, Liu Hua's mind immediately appeared the historical evaluation of Wang Guangfu.
Wang Guangfu is not only a well-known anti-Japanese hero in the history of the Chinese Air Force, but also the third-ranked ace pilot of the Chinese Air Force during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. More importantly, Wang Guangfu is also the elder brother of Wang Guangying, vice chairman of the National People's Congress Committee, and Wang Guangmei, the wife of Chairman Liu Shaoqi.....
It can be said that Wang Guangfu himself not only made great contributions to the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Even after the release of the Chinese Air Force, the development of the Chinese Air Force has also made brilliant contributions...
Just in Liu Hua's mind, the memory of Wang Guangfu kept coming up. Division Commander Wang Guangfu had already led more than 100 pilots and ran towards him in a neat manner. Then, before Liu Hua could react, Wang Guangfu's voice reached his ears.
"The head of the report, Wang Guangfu, commander of the 1st Air Force Aviation Division, has been ordered to lead all the fighters and crew members to report, please instruct... ̈"
Seeing in front of him, more than 100 people headed by Wang Guangfu can be called the first generation of China's air force pride. Looking at the more than 100 fighters behind them, Liu Hua nodded with great satisfaction and spoke.
"Wang Guangfu, China's third-ranked ace pilot.... Commander Wang, I really didn't expect to be here today to see our Air Force heroes...."
"Chief, we're nothing compared to you. You must know that you are the anti-Japanese hero of our entire Chinese nation. You have always been my idol, I really didn't expect to see you here today..."Praised by the anti-Japanese hero Liu Hua in public, Wang Guangfu's face immediately showed an excited and excited smile, and he hurriedly spoke.
"You don't need to be modest, you deserve the title of Air Force Hero... In addition, the central government can appoint you as the commander of the most elite aviation division of our air force, which can also explain your ability, the central government's trust in you, and your ability..." Several years of leading troops have made Liu Hua invisibly form a kind of solemnity as a senior general. Facing Wang Guangfu, who was much younger than himself, Liu Hua patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction and spoke.
"Thank you for the chief's praise..." Seeing Liu Hua with a smile on his face in front of him, after a short hesitation, Wang Guangfu asked directly. …,
"Chief, before we set off, the head of the headquarters did not tell us the specific plans and objectives of this operation. Just let us secretly transfer to Nanjing Airport and wait for your orders, chief.... Now, we are here, I wonder if you can reveal this mission to us now, chief, otherwise, I, the division commander, will not be able to explain to the brothers behind me..."
Seeing Liu Hua with a puzzled face in front of him, Wang Guangfu continued to speak.
"Chief, you don't know, most of the brothers behind me are adapted from the original national army. As long as there are good fighters, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are definitely no worse than little devils. After the successful reorganization of the troops, in the face of the new fighters that have been reequipped, everyone's morale is unusually high, and they want to go to the battlefield to kill devils. ”
However, the entire unit has been trained in the rear for half a year, and has never been on the battlefield. Seeing the army brothers killing the enemy on the front line, while we ate and drank well in the rear, but did not achieve any results, the brothers were anxious.
Seeing the expression of Master Wang Guangfu in front of him, Liu Hua nodded thoughtfully. After all, before the air force was really strong, these pilots were the treasures of the palms of several central leaders, and if there was no major war, it would be impossible to let these treasures in the palms of their hands go to the battlefield.
Seeing the expressions of seeking war on everyone's faces, and then thinking of the inner thoughts of the central leader, Liu Hua's face could only show a helpless smile. However, this smile only lasted for less than two seconds, and he said with a firm face to Wang Guangfu in front of him.
"Master Wang, since this is the case, then I congratulate you, your wish has come true. This battle plan is not a previous exercise and training, but a real battle with the Japanese army, I hope you can be prepared..."
Seeing everyone's faces, they immediately showed excited looks, and Liu Hua continued to speak: "In this way, everyone will transfer overnight, and let Staff Officer Wang arrange for everyone to rest first." As for Division Commander Wang, you immediately lead all the commanders above the regimental level of the 1st Air Force Division to the General Headquarters of the Field Army in an hour, and I will explain to you the specific battle plan..."
"Yes, Chief...."
In the war room of the headquarters, when Liu Hua and Zuo Quan were studying several pieces of information from Shanghai, Wang Guangwife, the commander of the 1st Air Division, and the three commanders of the 1st Air Division, were already standing in front of them under the leadership of the guards....
Seeing the few people in front of him, with excited expressions on their faces, and still not dissipated, Liu Hua said bluntly: "Sit down, come over first to take a look at these pieces of information and photos, and understand the specific goals of your battle this time..."
It has to be said that these people have reached the point of obsession with fighting, even if they have sat in the position of division commander and regiment commander. As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, a few people with excited faces grabbed the information on the table and began to study it seriously...
A few minutes later, division commander Wang Guangfu was the first to speak: "Chief, what do you mean is that the target of our operation this time is the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga stationed on the Bund in Shanghai..."
Seeing in front of them, the words were full of doubts, and several people with shocked faces. Liu Hua smiled and asked directly, "What's the matter, are you afraid?" ”
Liu Hua's words obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of several people. As soon as his words fell, the commander of the bombing regiment in the middle of the three regiment commanders directly retorted...
"Of course I'm not afraid... Isn't it just a little devil aircraft carrier? As long as the chief orders me to bomb the little devil Tokyo, I dare to go...."
"In this case, Chief of Staff, you should first introduce to a few regiment commanders some information about the Kaga aircraft carrier that we have collected so far. Let our fighters, before the battle, know as much as possible about their opponents..." Liu Hua was very satisfied with the domineering on the faces of several regiment leaders. Commanded to Zuo Quan beside him. …,
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."
"Comrades, according to reconnaissance, in addition to the aircraft carrier Kaga, there is also a destroyer and four gunboats as escorts on the entire Bund in Shanghai. Among them, the greatest threat to our 1st Air Force Division is the fighter planes carried on board the aircraft carrier, in addition to the anti-aircraft weapons carried by the aircraft carrier and the destroyer itself..."
"According to our understanding, the entire Kaga aircraft carrier is equipped with a total of 0 single-barreled 20-mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 8 twin 27-mm dual-purpose guns, and 22 25-mm anti-aircraft guns. The cruisers were armed with 6 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 twin 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, and a number of anti-aircraft machine guns. On the gunboat, only a few anti-aircraft machine guns are equipped to pose a danger to you・・・・・・"
"As for the various fighters carried on the aircraft carrier, because of the consumption of the Japanese army some time ago, according to the latest statistics, there are still 36 fighters and 42 bombers left ...."
As soon as Zuo Quan's voice fell, a few people who were still confident just now, and their faces were instantly shrouded in solemn expressions. A few minutes later, division commander Wang Guangfu was the first to speak: "Chief, in this operation, our 1st Air Force Division is only equipped with one regiment of fighters, that is, 36 fighters.
And the Japanese army is also 36 planes, plus the cover of the Japanese ground anti-aircraft fire, our strength compared with them, does not have any advantage at all... ̈"
Seeing the few people frowning in front of him, Liu Hua said directly: "Comrades, this is a difficulty we need to face. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the Central Committee to transfer the best pilots in the Air Force...."
"You see... From Nanjing Airport to the Bund in Shanghai, except for Shanghai, other areas have basically been controlled by me. So, on this flight, I can assure you that the news of your attack will never leak out in advance. And once the air force entered Shanghai, that is, the area controlled by the Japanese army. I believe that with the speed of the fighter, at most ten minutes, you can feel the sky above the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga ... ̈"
"Chief, you mean, to give the Kaga an air carrier a surprise attack..." Wang Guangfu's keen eyes flashed quickly, and he asked tentatively...
"Yes, it's a surprise attack...."
