48:0 Lanfeng air battle, the national army won a big victory! As soon as this news was released by the Central News Agency, it quickly spread all over the country, and even had a huge impact on the international community.

At this historical moment, Xinhua News Agency, First News Agency, Ta Kung News Agency, People's News Agency, Reuters, and Roadside News Agency vied with each other to reprint and report. Hearing this great victory, the Chinese people were excited, the traitors were frightened, the Japanese army was angry, and the friends were shocked.

Wuhan, Chongqing, Changsha, Xi'an, Kunming, Chengdu, Lanzhou and other major cities began to organize people to march on the streets to celebrate the "May 29 Victory". At the same time, the underground organizations of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also distributed leaflets to the people in the occupied areas in order to strengthen the people's anti-Japanese conviction and encourage anti-Japanese enthusiasm.

The military of various countries were talking about this incredible result, and for a time the news spread in an uproar, and the anxious Americans and Germans immediately made a request to send field observers.

In the face of a powerful propaganda offensive, the unprepared Japanese occupation forces were tossed and discouraged. At the beginning, Terauchi Shouchi, commander of Japan's Northern Branch Dispatch Army, also held a press conference to declare that the so-called 48:0 was a lie fabricated by the Chinese side, and that the actual battle situation was 10:43, and the Japanese army won a complete victory, and most of the Japanese pilots who were forced to abandon their planes and parachute out also successfully withdrew to the occupied area.

However, the commander of the temple never expected that on the afternoon of the day he finished saying this, several major newspapers, such as "Central Daily," "Xinhua Daily," "Declaration," "Ta Kung Pao," and "Wen Wei Po," would print special editions of the 529 air battle.

It can be seen that the Chinese Government has made full preparations for this. The photographs provided provide a detailed account of the air battles at that time. Including the wreckage and pilot bones of the Japanese planes that were driven by the Chinese Air Force to the ground, falling to the ground with black smoke, and falling into a mess. In addition, in order to strengthen the persuasiveness, the triumphant return of the Chinese Air Force was also announced, and the photos of the pilots saluting in line under the blue sky and white sun made many Chinese people cry.

The Northern Branch Dispatch Army was immediately stunned by this heavy blow. Before they could come to their senses, "Central Evening News", "Justice Daily", "China Times", "National Salvation Daily", "Struggle Daily", "Military and Political Daily", "Progress Daily", "Salvation Information", "Fuxing Daily", "Henan Daily", "Zhengzhou Daily", "Yudong Business Daily" ...... More than 100 newspapers rushed to the top of the city, viing with each other to publicize and report on their patriotic fervor to their heart's content.

"Yaga, this is a disgrace to the Great Japanese Empire and the Imperial Army!" Shouichi Terauchi gritted his teeth and threw a newspaper on the ground fiercely, shouting angrily, "Tokugawa-kun, what else do you have to say?" ”

Lieutenant General Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, commander of the North China Air Corps, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He argued forcefully, "Your Excellency, Commander." This must have been a rumor deliberately spread by the Shina people. We only sent two flying squadrons in total, and it is absolutely impossible to lose so much! ”

Terauchi Shouchi grabbed Tokugawa Yoshitoshi by the collar and scolded angrily, "What about the photo? Are the photos also fake? ”

Tokugawa Yoshitoshi looked frightened and muttered, "I don't know what to do." I don't know what to do. Could it be that someone below has lied to me? That's impossible. That's impossible! ”

The Chief of Staff, Major General Okabe Naosaburo, advised: "Your Excellency, Commander. In my opinion, it must be the Shina people who are lying, and we sent a total of two flying squadrons. Only 24 fighters, how could it be possible to lose 48 aircraft? Besides, if you can shoot down so many planes of the Empire, the losses of the people of China will definitely not be smaller than ours. ”

Shouichi Terauchi snorted coldly and said, "But now that there are photos to prove it, no matter what we say, it will be regarded as a quibble by the outside world." Unless, you can fight back against the people with a hearty victory! Tokugawa-kun, can you do it? ”

Tokugawa was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency!" ”

Naosaburo Okabe said in surprise, "Tokugawa-kun, have you lost even the courage to take revenge?" ”

Tokugawa Yoshitoshi explained: "The people of China now have a large number of Soviet-style aircraft, and their performance is not inferior to that of the Imperial Army Aviation. It's not difficult to win, but it's impossible to play 24:0 or even 48:0. In addition, our losses in this battle are too great, and it will be very troublesome if the planes are not replenished. ”

"Get out, get out of here right now!" The general of the temple was furious and shouted and cursed, so frightened that Tokugawa Yoshitoshi fled with a crawl.

Okabe Naosaburo looked at Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's back and said worriedly: "Your Excellency Commander, now that we are in a difficult situation, and those villains in the country are jumping up and down again, it is better to treat Tokugawa-kun and these people more tolerantly." ”

Terauchi Shouichi was so angry that his beard trembled, and said, "If it weren't for the sake of the Tokugawa family, I would definitely send him to a military court." He struggled to restrain his anger and asked, "Is there any progress in the 10th and 16th Divisions?" ”

Naosaburo Okabe had a sad face and said, "If the logistical problem is not solved, there will not be much progress." ”

Zhengzhou, Henan, First Theater Command. Commander Cheng Qian stroked his beautiful mustache and said excitedly: "In this way, there is really a problem with the logistics of the Japanese army?" ”

Chief of Staff Yan Xunfu said with a fluttering eyebrow: "It must be so!" Otherwise, with the strength of the enemy's two divisions and two independent mixed brigades, why would there be no way to take one 97th Army? ”

"Not bad!" Chief Cheng Qian said with emotion: "That Zheng Huzi is really lucky, after this battle, his prestige will definitely rise, and maybe he will be reused by the commission!" ”

Yan Xunfu shook his head and smiled: "The wild road from the Northeast Army is difficult!" ”

Cheng Qian waved his hand magnanimously and said, "Forget it, it's not our turn to worry about this matter." ”

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Chief of Staff Yan suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Jun Zuo, I heard that the chairman of the committee wants to launch a counteroffensive on the occasion of the great victory of the Air Force?" ”

Cheng Qian sneered: "Hehe, maybe the commission really has this thought, but he was poured cold by Xue Boling's scoop of cold water." ”

Chief of Staff Yan said curiously: "What did Chief Xue say? ”

Cheng Qian smiled: "That stunned blue! He directly asked the chairman of the committee, what is going on with the 529 victory, others don't know, don't you know the old man? ”

When Chief of Staff Yan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! It's also a loss that Brother Boling is talented, where do others dare to say this. ”

Cheng Qian said in a low voice: "You give the brother a secret, what is the loss of the enemy and me in the Lanfeng air battle?" "He, the commander of the theater of operations, is also pitiful, with the chairman pointing fingers at the top, and Xue Yue, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, there is no room for him to put his beak at all. There are many things, and he is not even as knowledgeable as Yan Xunfu, the chief of staff.

Chief of Staff Yan smiled, stretched out his finger and gestured, "24:10!" ”

Cheng Qian said in surprise: "Damn, our army was shot down 24 planes?" This cowhide blows! ”

Chief of Staff Yan smiled: "Where can it?" It's the little devil who was killed 24 planes! ”

Cheng Qian was taken aback and said, "The Air Force is so powerful!" It's not impossible to say that a counteroffensive. As long as air supremacy is occupied. This battle can still be fought a dozen. ”

Chief of Staff Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What's amazing, the pilots who are a little more powerful have basically been wiped out a few years ago." Now this batch of novices is still tender, if it weren't for Maozi's help to support it, would there be such a record? ”

Cheng Qian suddenly realized. said: "It turned out that Maozi secretly made a move!" But. That's not a bad record. No wonder the little devil was stunned, and he didn't even dare to let out a fart. ”

Chief of Staff Yan said excitedly: "Who said it wasn't? All 24 of their planes were shot down, and none of them even went back to report the news. Let's claim that one is undamaged. Even if they were suspicious, they could not produce evidence! ”

Cheng Qian Dalu smiled and said: "Happy, happy, when you float a big white!" As he spoke, he took out a pot of good Fenjiu from the table as if by magic, and found two wine glasses to fill them full.

"!" As soon as the two clinked glasses, they were top-heavy and drunk.

Just when Chief Cheng and the others were getting drunk and resting, the 97th Army also received a lot of good news one after another. Chief of Staff Zhou said excitedly: "Military seat, various intelligence shows that the Japanese army's reinforcements on the east and south routes have stopped advancing. Even the Japanese machine has now reined in a lot, and has basically stopped its activities in the skies above our army, except for dropping supplies to Sanyiji and Lanfengcheng. ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "This little devil is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and he becomes much more honest after being beaten with a stick." He also asked: "Has the strength of our air defense forces leaked?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said: "According to your instructions, I have applied to the Military Commission for strict secrecy, and I don't even know about the war zone." They all thought that all 24 enemy planes had been killed by the Air Force. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's good!" It is a day to be able to drag it out, and we will not be afraid after crossing the Yellow River. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "It's good, it's a pity that I have a National Glory Medal!" ”

The Order of National Glory is the highest military medal of the Republic of China. This medal was established on November 8, 1937 and came into force on February 20, 1938. However, as of October 1949, only two people (Chiang Kai-shek and Fu Zuoyi) had obtained it. Due to the rarity of the winners, it is really unattainable for the military, and it is even more considered an ornament.

However, the 529 air victory won the possibility for the 97th Army. According to the Regulations on the Medal of Merit of the Army, Navy and Air Force, those who shoot down five or more enemy planes in the air and destroy eight or more enemy planes on the ground in a single mission can be awarded the Medal of National Glory. In the Lanfeng air battle, the results of the air defense units of the 97th Army accounted for at least half of the total, and a medal of national glory was appropriate.

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "A broken iron piece, what is it worth, it is still a small life!" "If the Japanese army discovers that the 97th Army has such a strong air defense force, it will definitely not give up, and maybe it will use a large number of planes to bomb it.

But now this "black cauldron" is being carried by the Air Force, and the Japanese army does not dare to act rashly. If you're not careful, I'm afraid that even Tokugawa Shotoshi won't be able to afford another 24:0.

Chief of Staff Zhou was about to make a couple of sycophants and say something like the military seat is high and bright, but he didn't expect the door to be suddenly pushed open, and Duan Shuanghu rushed in.

Zheng Weiguo couldn't help but scolded: "They are all people who are deputy division commanders, why are they still the same as hairy boys?" How's the transshipment of the seized material? ”

Duan Shuanghu touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Military seat, counselor, I came here for this." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said, "What's the matter, you're in trouble?" (To be continued......)
