Two shifts today, and one shift in the evening

Chapter 198: All-Out War of Resistance

"Back, back, Blue Thirteen, Blue Thirteen, Lancelot appeared behind us again!"

"Fire so far away, oh my God, I got shot, god I got shot!"

"Hit machine seven, damn woman!"

"I've been bitten, I've been bitten!"

"Jack, don't dive, climb with a spiral, don't dive, stupid!"

"Hell, this can hit too!"

"Jack was shot! Damn woman, damn Lancelot! ”

"Jerry, mind yourself, there's an FW90 coming in front of you on the left."

On 30 November, in the command center of the Royal Air Force on the Zhoushan front, Air Force Commander Dao Ding listened to the constant screams of his pilots coming from the intercom, and the pencil in his right hand gently slammed into the list of pilots in his hand, drawing a long black line.

"Blue Thirteen, it's the one named Lancelot again, no, it should be the woman named Li Huamei"

Zhoushan Island is very close to Ningbo, and the British front-line airport built here, Tongguò radio can receive English broadcasts from Ningbo high-power radio stations on the other side. The broadcast runs for two hours at 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. each time.

Propaganda warfare is also an important component in warfare. The Red Bolsheviks on the other side clearly knew this, and of course it was possible that the hateful Germans had taught them.

The announcer opposite is a female announcer with a London accent, and her voice is extremely soft. The content that is broadcast every day. In addition to the results of the battle in the air, there was also the exact information attached to the downed British pilot, whether he was killed or captured. As for the losses of the British in air battles, they never carried out "water injection" reports, and the downed, seriously injured, and suspected wrecked were all reported in detail, although the number of jù was slightly different from the number of losses of the British themselves, but the deviation was also very small, but the "error" caused by the successful return of the seriously injured plane to Zhoushan Airport for forced landing instead of crashing halfway. Compared to the Anglo-Japanese alliance that has "annihilated" the opponent more than twice. On the report of the results. The Red Army on the opposite side was very disciplined.

In addition to the air battle briefings on the day, the radio on the opposite side will also publicize the "air combat heroes" that emerged that day, and of course, all kinds of "homesick and anti-war" English songs played against the British army. Propaganda is also indispensable.

from the end of the previous month. In the propaganda on the opposite side. A female pilot named Li Huamei began to be mentioned repeatedly on the radio of the Red Army. From the radio propaganda on the other side, as well as the post-war descriptions of British pilots in air battles. Dowding knew that in the past month or so, the opposite air force had given birth to a very powerful female pilot.

The He51 fighter with the aircraft number "13" and the fuselage painted with blue and white sky camouflage on the fuselage was a crash in the first air battle, and the results of the subsequent crash continued to rise, even surpassing Gao Zhihang, the first ace who was constantly advertised in the past.

Until yesterday, she had gained 19 of the 41 fighters the Royal Air Force had lost in air combat in the past month. And the British pilots who fought with her also reported many times that they encountered a HE51 fighter with terrible "shooting technology" in air combat, numbered "13".

In the eyes of the British, thirteen is an unlucky number.

In the high-profile radio propaganda on the other side, Dowding learned the origin of the pilot: he was the "sister" of the famous god stick and martial artist Lin Han, who was also said to be a martial arts master who was good at Chinese kung fu, and was also the actor of Lancelot in the movie "The Legend of King Arthur". And the information obtained from the Japanese, the Japanese even suspected that this woman's other identity was the mysterious female sniper in the Red Army, and this was confirmed by the priest from the Hanyang Concession. After watching "The Legend of King Arthur", the priest once claimed to reporters that Lancelot's actor was the female sniper who was killed with a heavy sniper gun in the Hanyang church. And the Red Army did not shy away from admitting this when publicizing Li Huamei's deeds.

"The Legend of King Arthur" has many fans in the British army, and even in order to boost morale and improve the boring war life of front-line soldiers and pilots, the baked shells of the second and third parts of the film were also sent to the military camp on Zhoushan Island to be broadcast. There are no women on Zhoushan Island, and many dissatisfied Intervention Army soldiers who want to save themselves have done things like holding the beautiful and beautiful propaganda poster of the film in one hand, staring at the beautiful and sexy "female knight" on it, and holding a bird in the other.

After learning that Blue Thirteen's pilot was "Lancelot", the Royal Air Force pilots on the island naturally gave her the nickname "Lancelot". As for whether the pilots who couldn't shoot down Li Huamei in the air after the end of the air battle did something on the ground to "hit the plane" in retaliation for her poster photo, only they knew. Of course, Li Huamei, who was 100 kilometers away from the Hangzhou airport, would not have thought that she had recently gained the growing power of faith, and that many British soldiers on the opposite side had contributed to her in such a dirty way.

Dowding still remembers that before today's battle, the pilots of the 17th Flying Squadron joked with him with a smile before going out that they would shoot down the woman in the air battle, and then capture her back to serve the British on the island, and "educate" her that women should only spread their legs in bed and not fly in the sky.

But less than an hour later, Dowding was in the command center and heard the screams of the pilots who had bragged about them in radio communications. The situation of the frontline battle transmitted from the communicator, Dowding could confirm that at least three or more fighters had been shot down by the woman named Lancelot, no, it should be Li Huamei.

Dowding pretended to raise his head calmly and glanced at the wall on the side of the command center, where a photo of Li Huamei was nailed, which was her dressed in an English knight's uniform, a still from the movie. When "The Legend of King Arthur" was sent to the island as a "consolation", it was accompanied by a large number of promotional materials and beautifully printed posters about the film. Lin Han, who came from later generations, understood very well the importance of promotional posters to the box office of movie sales, and first used large stills promotional posters to pave the way before the release in various places.

Another half hour passed. At Zhoushan Airport, Dowding welcomed back the 17th Flying Squadron, which had been badly damaged.

"Seven, eight, ninety, eleven gone"

The ground crews around him began to report the numbers, and during the sortie, the 17th Flying Squadron sent 24 fighters to carry out a medium-scale "tentative" attack, but the planes returning home were in tatters with black smoke in tow. There are only eleven in total.

The surviving pilot reported to Dowding: "It's terrible. Lancelot, no, that Chinese witch, she shot down six of us today! ”

As for the number of downs on the British side. Dowding only knew that his side had damaged two. Suspected of shooting down one. Since the battlefield of air combat is on the coastline. The wounded Chinese flights were desperately running in the direction of the mainland, and the Red Army on the line from Ningbo to Hangzhou built a large number of field airfield runways for the injured planes to make forced landings, and many planes that should have been "shot down" were "surviving" through these runways.

“25：43！ Other words. In the past month, more than half of the planes we have lost have been shot down by this woman! ”

Over the past month or so of air battles, the losses of the RAF and the opponent have exceeded 4:1, which is still an embarrassing number. But among the four times the loss, there is a "double" number, but this woman named Li Huamei contributed alone. Dowding, who used to be in flight, thought that without her storage, the gladiator fighter, although slightly inferior in performance, would not have played such a bad exchange ratio in air combat. In the air battle, Li Huamei not only single-handedly took over half of the Red Army's results, but also disrupted the combat rhythm of British aircraft.

In order to deal with the H-H-R obscene tactics used by the Red Army, the British Air Force summed up a number of flight tactics that seemed to be very effective, but no matter what the flight tactics were, there was a major premise that the aircraft that carried out the flight tactics could not be shot down by the opponent at the beginning of the air battle.

The HE51 was armed with three 13mm machine guns, which were imitations of the M2 machine gun. The reason why the M2 aviation machine gun is called the best aviation machine gun in World War II in history is that it has excellent ballistics, and the bullet can still maintain excellent and straight ballistics after flying more than 800 meters. The ballistics of aviation machine guns is a very important indicator for those who are masters of shooting among pilots. Whether it was Hartman or Garland, the superaces of World War II, shooting technique was considered the most important skill of pilots in air combat after the war. Marseilleu, the famous Luftwaffe ace pilot in World War II, was a shooting genius of this type. The West later selected the first ace pilot of World War II, and the first one was not Hartmann, but only more than a hundred downed Marseilleu, nicknamed the Star of Africa)

The length of the cartridge of the M2 is 99 mm, while the length of the barrel of the German imitation MK131 machine gun is one millimeter longer than him, and the Germans have exquisite processing technology, the cartridge case can be cut thinner, the charge of the propellant is more, and the ballistics are better than that of the M2.

During the negotiation period in June, a large number of HE51s equipped with 13 aviation machine guns that had already begun mass production were sent to China, and in order to match this machine gun, the Red Army, with the help of the Germans, also established a 13 mm machine gun bullet production line at the beginning of this year, and began to produce 13 mm bullets in July. It's just that due to the lack of copper in China, the domestic bullets use copper-plated and painted steel shells. However, due to the fact that the processing technology was not as good as that of the Germans, the domestic bullet shell could not be cut as thin as the imported bullet case, and the charge was comparable to that of the M2. However, ace pilots like Li Mei, as the privilege of "trump card", use imported bullets.

Relying on the good ballistics of the MK131 machine gun and Li Huamei, who has become more and more experienced in air combat, often begins to open fire tentatively from a distance of 800 meters, and shoots with all his strength from a distance of 600 meters, and has repeatedly won successes. The 7.7 mm machine gun used by the opponent was miserable due to the deterioration of ballistics at a distance of 500 meters.

Dowding, who had been a pilot, knew that when Li Huamei opened fire from 800 to 600 meters away and shot down planes one after another by name, in the face of such a master shooter, any flight tactics would become meaningless. This kind of pilot's cunzài, like a superstar on the football field, is a rule-breaking bug general cheating opponent, and they are the most hated cunzài of all "tacticians".

The flight performance of the gladiator fighter is not far from that of the HE51 and FW90, and even if there is no Li Huamei's BUG, the exchange ratio should not be as high as 2:1. As long as he can pull the opponent into his fighter rhythm. The same can be light, yì can be won in air battles. However, the appearance of such an unreasonable trump card as Li Huamei had the greatest effect of disrupting the combat rhythm of British aircraft, and today's fiasco in the air battle of the Royal Air Force is the most obvious example.

When the British pilot was on Zhoushan Island, licking his wounds, he cursed this oriental witch for jerking off to Li Huamei's movie color newspaper. Li Huamei's "Blue 13" has landed at Hangzhou Airport amid cheers. As soon as she landed, she was greeted like a hero, today is November 30, an air battle shot down six fighters, and it is also the best day for Li Huamei after joining the war.

And in order to ensure the safety of Li Huamei, the H51F driven by Li Huamei. It was also "magically changed" by Lin Han. The wing-bearing structure of the fuselage uses "integration" technology, which removes all the rivets and reduces the weight - many of the ace pilots of the Red Army's planes, Lin Han, used this method to "magically change" the aircraft, after which the fighter can reduce the weight by several kilograms. For the aircraft of 1935. A few kilograms of weight can have an impact on flight performance. As for the glass of her cockpit. It is completely a time-lapse product that does not belong to this era, high-quality bulletproof glass to ensure that her plane will not be accidentally hit by the opponent in the air battle and endanger her life. As for the engine. It is also magically modified, and the maximum power of the design is 700 horsepower, although the horsepower has not been increased after the magic change, the flight time at maximum power has increased by five minutes, which is extremely important in air combat.

Katyusha, who was far away in the United States, after hearing about Li Huamei's wonderful performance in China, after this bad girl's eyes rolled wildly for a while, she suddenly came up with a "good idea" to increase the power of her faith: under her instruction, the people of DreamWorks found a few painters to publish a yellow comic called "No Misery in Air Combat" based on Li Huamei's image and appearance. The specific content is as big as telling the story of a female pilot piloting a blue-and-white fighter with the number "13", who was shot down by ground artillery fire in an air battle and suffered various "miserable" fates after falling into the hands of the enemy.

After the comic was published, it was sold in Britain and Japan, and the sales were excellent, but it could also add countless "sticky" faith power to Li Huamei. Of course, Katyusha's behavior could not make Li Huamei appreciate it, and she was extremely angry with her. Later, when the United States entered World War II, in order to vent his anger for Li Huamei, Lin Han also published a similar "no miserable" cartoon, the content of which was a female singer in the United States singing on the front line after being accidentally captured by the labor army, and the original form of the cartoon was based on Katyusha.

Then, due to Katyusha's bad head, and "The Legend of Arthur" opened a precedent of "motherhood". During World War II, the British, German and American air forces emerged a large number of aces in air combat. In order to discredit their opponents, Britain, the United States, Germany and even Japan have launched this "mother-in-law" version of the "no miserable" comics. The specific method is to turn the ace pilot in the other party's high-profile propaganda into a mother, and then put it in the comics to ravage "no misery". So much so that during the entire World War II, whether it was Marseilleu or Hiroshi Nishizawa, a bunch of ace pilots who were slightly famous in World War II, in the comics released by the other party, could not escape the fate of being "miserable".

After the air battle on 30 November, the Royal Air Force began to enter a long period of recuperation and no longer sent planes to provoke in the skies over Hangzhou Bay. At this time, Dowing vigorously asked London's Downing Street for a better fighter -- the Hurricane fighter, but the Hurricane fighter had just begun its test flight for less than a month, and it was still far from perfecting.

The main reason why the Royal Air Force stopped sending out was that they were waiting, waiting for the Japanese to move in North China and Shandong.

The air battle over Hangzhou Bay had already undermined the confidence of the Royal Air Force due to the long and frighteningly high battle damage. In his reports to the military, Dowding repeatedly stated that unless better fighters could be obtained, even if foreign aid was cut off, it would be necessary to be mentally prepared to lose at least 1,500 combat planes and more than 2,000 pilots, and this would be in the best of the best circumstances.

Fifteen hundred planes and two thousand figures, frightened the British upper echelons, where is it possible for Britain today to pay such a big loss here in the Far East? Europe doesn't want it? Is Germany on the rise of the strong no more?

While the British were mired in China, Germany, far away in Europe, was not idle. British intelligence received information that the Nazis in Austria were intensifying their activities, and that voices advocating a German-Austrian merger were constantly being heard in Austria. Britain, whose attention is forced to focus on China, has no room to interfere in this? Italy, which was fighting with Germany for Austria, invaded Ethiopia in a hot head last month, in October.

As early as last July, Austrian Prime Minister Taulfis was killed by a car bomber. , the person who killed him, of course, was Hannah. It's just that the method is more blatant than the historical act of conniving at the Nazis in Austria to storm into their homes and kill, and it has become a high-level explosive. Since then, after the death of Taulfis, who opposed the union of Austria and Germany, the political situation in Austria has gradually been controlled by the Nazis, and the tendency to favor Germany has become more and more severe.

Hannah-controlled Germany, who knew the course of history, knew that the time was not ripe for annexation, and although the government was ostensibly indifferent to the "German-Austrian merger", the British intelligence services got the news that Germany was making small moves in private. Compared with Hitler, who liked to "call before he did it", Hannah who replaced him was the standard "do it first and then talk" who "quietly entered the village and didn't want to shoot".

Now, Britain is acquiescing to the undefended presence of German troops on the west bank of the Rhine in exchange for its abandonment of Chinese support, which has worried many in the upper echelons of the government. At a time when the signs of a German-Austrian merger were becoming more and more obvious, the British, who had already sent troops to China, were already mired in the quagmire of China, and they were looking back at Europe without any flaws.

The situation in China has developed to the present, and under the pressure of the people, China has been forced to step into the quagmire. The people's call for "severely punishing China" is extremely high, and under the double pressure of the people and capitalists, how can it be so easy to get out of this mud pit? Now they can only pin their hopes on the Japanese and secretly support Japan's all-out aggression against China.

In the script prepared by the British, in China, it was hoped that the invasion of Japan would attract most of the Red Army's strength and air force, and then they would take the opportunity to pick peaches and retake the lost Yangtze River Delta.

In Europe, however, the British government "appeased" Germany under Hannah's leadership and began to retreat step by step.

In the idealized script of the British, it is to first give priority to solving the "weak" China problem as soon as possible, and then go back to solving this "big problem".

With the support and connivance of the British government, the newly appointed cabinet of Sadao Araki of Japan, after nearly two months of preparation, finally showed their claws on December 5.

On December 5, the cabinet of Sadao Araki launched an attack on the Great Wall under the pretext that the northeast of North China was secretly "supporting the Red Tyrants," and the Kwantung Army, which had been prepared for a long time, entered the pass. Under the pressure of the Soviet Union in the north, the Japanese only dared to mobilize the strength of ten divisions and regiments, the number of which "seemed" was not much, but it was more than enough to deal with the scumbag Northeast Army in front of them.

On the same day, under the cover of the Japanese Combined Fleet, a large number of Japanese troops also successfully grabbed the beach in Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong, and the defenders were immediately defeated, easily taking Qingdao and other places, and sending tens of thousands of Japanese troops to the land of Shandong in one day.

On this day, Han Fuyu, who was in charge of Shandong, was blown up and killed by Japanese agents -- the Japanese, who had been inspired by Lin Han's series of assassination methods, had also learned to use the high-tech murder method of using roadside remote-controlled bombs, and directly used the "beheading" tactic to successfully "behead" Han Fuyu, the head of Shandong.

Since meeting Lin Han in 1933, Zhang Xueliang talked with Lin Han, listened to his advice, strengthened the regularization of the army, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been improved. The essence of the "warlord-type" army of the Northeast Army has not changed. Coupled with the rebellion work of the Japanese spies, within a month after the start of the war on December 5, Shi Yousan and Sun Chuanfang, two famous traitors in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, led their troops to surrender one after another, and the resistance of the Northeast Army in the Pingjin area only lasted for half a month, and the whole line collapsed, a large area of Hebei fell, and the flames of war quickly burned to Shanxi.

The all-out war of resistance broke out. (To be continued......)
