But who else could it be than Li Yunlong who said this big head?
In the words of Li Yunlong.
"What has our old man Li never done in his life? He charged with a machine gun and braved the enemy's firepower to attack. Under a hail of bullets, there were not ten but eight bullets that grazed our old man's scalp.
We, Mr. Li, have played with rifles, machine guns and cannons.
The only thing I have never done is flying a plane to fight.
If I don’t do this happily once, I will regret it for the rest of my life!”
So...
Needless to say, Li Yunlong rushed over after learning that Kong Jie had temporarily adjusted his plan and was preparing to arrange for aviation troops to take flights to attack the Japanese military airport in Shanghai at night.
Of course.
Li Yunlong has learned to be smart now. Before taking action, he made a special application to the deputy chief of staff. The specific application content was written by Zhao Gang. The writing was full of emotion, reasonable and touching.
It is not clear whether the Deputy Chief of General Staff finally agreed to Li Yunlong's application.
Anyway, that afternoon, Li Yunlong rushed to Changning Airport outside Licheng, and then took a reconnaissance plane to the first team aviation base.
Then he followed Major Davis and his party and set off in the bomber.
Along the way, Li Yunlong also thought that he could deliver some radio stations and supplies to the old leaders in the Jiaodong base area along the way through airdrops.
When Li Yunlong took a reconnaissance plane and rushed back to the first team's airport.
The Licheng air battle followed the Eighth Route Army Air Force fighter jets entering the Licheng airspace, and the Japanese bomber force suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Eighth Route Army air defense force.
The two-day air battle in Licheng comes to an end.
A large-scale ground-to-air confrontation finally ended.
People from surrounding base areas and troops participating in the review invited by the Eighth Route Army arrived one after another and began to arrange the review venue. Air defense firepower points inside and outside the city ceased fire one after another, and began to comprehensively put out the fire. They surveyed the air raid site, eliminated unexploded aerial bombs, and the air defense troops moved their positions.
Busy.
What are you going to do after all this work?
——Reconvene the Eighth Route Army military parade!
As for the so-called military parade scheduled for August 1st, it was just to lure the Japanese air force to attack and to serve as a trap to attack the Japanese flying troops.
From the Eighth Route Army General Headquarters.
The deputy general manager and the chief of general staff accompanied representatives from all parties to inspect the situation of various troops in the city and express condolences to the combat troops.
In the eyes of the soldiers, the combat troops at this time were the heroic troops that faced the Japanese Air Force in Licheng.
The Allied representatives were even more excited. They were so excited to watch the wonderful ground and air combat in Licheng that they were shocked.
Now being able to contact the elite air defense force of the Eighth Route Army in Licheng, these representatives were very excited and took photos with the anti-aircraft artillery unit, the wreckage of the fallen Japanese plane and the captured Japanese pilots.
Representatives of the Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army had different expressions.
Some are shocked, some are excited, and some are gloomy.
The air force has always been the most confident weapon of the Chinese army against the Eighth Route Army.
But in the battle of Licheng, the Eighth Route Army's air defense force was so powerful that it was simply eye-catching.
Now that the Eighth Route Army has the means to restrain the Air Force, it may not be able to restrain the Eighth Route Army through the aviation force in the future.
Of course, most of them are full of joy.
Probably because the Eighth Route Army has an armored force, it can resell fuel and equipment. Now that the Eighth Route Army has an aviation force, can the aviation supplies stored in the warehouse be sold at a good price?
Anyway, the pilots themselves don’t fly those classic planes. Instead of destroying them, they might as well resell them to the Eighth Route Army. Then the Japanese will report the losses through air raids and the money will go into their pockets, right?
There are many officers from the Jinsui Army and the Central Army who are complacent planners.
Among them, the most typical representative is Commander Tang, who has a smile on his face and looks a bit potbellied due to his generous life.
In fact.
The officers of the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the representatives of the allied parties saw only a part of the Eighth Route Army's air defense troops deployed in Licheng.
The air defense equipment they saw was only what Kong Jie wanted them to see.
For example, a team specially built the reconnaissance core of air combat - the electronic detection and air search radar unit, and the fire control radar unit.
Naturally, the Eighth Route Army could not expose these new types of anti-air combat troops, so they were transferred in advance. By the time the Allied forces arrived, the corresponding equipment had already disappeared.
Then we visited the new Soviet-made anti-aircraft gun. During the introduction, Kong Jie specially cooperated with the Soviet representatives and told the US military representatives that this was a new model of anti-aircraft gun for foreign trade of the US military. The instructions and nameplate were all in English!
Why?
The Soviet army is still in a neutral stage with the Japanese army, and they don't want the Japanese army to know that they sold equipment to support the Eighth Route Army.
Kong Jie's handling of the matter naturally earned the heartfelt gratitude of the Soviet representatives.
After the venue was set up, the real military parade ceremony held by the Eighth Route Army in Licheng came next.
As the audience gathered on the high platform to watch, the military parade officially started under the order of the deputy commander-in-chief.
The first batch to enter the scene was the commander's unit with full Japanese equipment.
Commander Tang was very surprised when he saw this scene. He asked the deputy chief of staff, "Why is this first unit to be inspected wearing Japanese skins?"
The deputy commander said: "This Japanese skin belongs to the invaders. This reminds us all the time that if we don't work hard, history will repeat itself again.
This serves as a reminder that Chinese people should strengthen themselves! To strengthen the country, we must first strengthen the army!"
After hearing these words, Commander Tang couldn't help but sigh: "When I fought the bloody battle with the Japanese at the Nankou Battle, if I had friendly forces like you, it might have been a different ending.
Damn it, save your strength, everyone is watching me fight to the death.
Now I can see it clearly. No matter how those little people throw dirty water on me, I only want to protect my team and the people under my jurisdiction. It is enough to shoulder the burden and responsibility on my shoulders." The deputy general staff officer said: "Commander Tang Gao Yi!
The past is over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Now we can also cooperate in central Henan!
When we need help from the Eighth Route Army, whether it’s supplies or combat, as long as we can contribute to the war of resistance, we will never refuse!"
After hearing this, Commander Tang started to smile again.
This is what he was waiting for.
Commander Tang has done a lot of immoral things in the past two years in order to support the First War Zone.
On one side is drought, and the people are miserable.
On the one hand, there is a huge cost of hundreds of thousands of troops. If it is not done well, it will be like a powder keg, which will explode at one moment.
——Water, drought, soup, and locusts are the four major disasters that are spread word of mouth among the people in central Henan.
Commander Tang can be ranked among the four major disasters by one person.
He can be considered a "hero".
It is estimated that Commander Tang did too many immoral things in Henan in order to support the troops and make some money.
But Commander Tang also has his own difficulties!
Commander Tang complained privately to Kong Jie that the national government could not send out sufficient supplies and military pay at all. If the Eighth Route Army could receive some of the victims, resell the supplies, exchange some food for military rations, and then secretly enter into an aid agreement with the Eighth Route Army
.
That's the best.
Commander Tang has a small calculation.
Today, the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger day by day, and even the unprecedented May Day raids launched by the Japanese were completely defeated.
As for central Henan, if the Japs launch a large-scale attack, as long as he can establish a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army in advance, at worst, he can retreat to the territory of the Eighth Route Army and continue to hold on, waiting for the situation to change.
At this time, the military parade continued to come.
The teacher stood on the city gate and waved, with a smile on his face: "Here we come, our most elite troops in the Taihang area are here."
As everyone can see:
An Iron Triangle field force wearing new summer military uniforms and fully armed helmeted soldiers walked in high spirits.
How can someone be so invincible with such momentum?
"Sir Yan, please give me some comments. I wonder how our team is training?"
"Okay, okay, okay! They are all mighty masters who can fight the Japanese!"
The old fox Commander Tang had a smile on his face and was just flattering.
Anyway, he had made up his mind to have a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army no matter what.
Then came the troops from the two ace field brigades of the 129th Division, 385th and 386th. They wore ordinary Eighth Route Army uniforms, but also wore steel helmets, marching boots, and field backpacks, and walked through the venue with murderous intent.
Behind them are the newly formed brigades and the main regiments of each military division passing by.
Finally, there are the guard camps of Yan Laoxi and Commander Tang.
The finale features mechanized artillery, armored units, and heavy artillery units.
Especially when the heavy-duty tractor pulling the Type 96 150mm improved howitzer unit appeared, it even attracted a cry of exclamation.
Then, after using their superior speed to get rid of the Japanese fighter jets, the returning fighter formation formed a five-pointed star formation and flew over the venue at low altitude just before dark.
The atmosphere at the venue was pushed to its peak.
There was only one slogan in the audience.
"Destroy the Japanese invaders and restore the mountains and rivers!"
In the evening, the Eighth Route Army organized a banquet for thousands of families.
All the common people and troops who came to participate in the meeting held a celebration banquet along the street and ate hero rice.
Yan Laoxi, Commander Tang and all the officers did not put on airs, and rushed to a team to have a meal and blend in. It was so lively.
Allied representatives even went to a team early.
——Waiting for dinner!
They have long heard that this is the place that cooks the best food among the combat troops in the entire North China region.
Many Eighth Route Army commanders are already sitting there, ready to start drinking.
Er Chen waved his arms and directed Lao Wang, Lao Kong and Lao Ding to arrange the serving of wine and food.
Lao Yang, Lao Pi, Lao Zhou, and Lao Chen had already started pouring wine and started fighting with Lao Zhang, Lao Yang and others who came on behalf of the 129th Division and the 120th Division.
Judging by wine!
Kong Jie, as the host, waved his hand and said boldly: "Everyone has enough food and wine, just eat and drink. My team will pay for all the expenses!"
It’s very hot here.
On the other side, Li Yunlong was riding in Davis's Dragon Bomber, following the Japanese Air Force as it flew to Shanghai.
This old Li first went through the reconnaissance plane, and then flew at high altitude in the bomber. Except for his legs being a little weak the first time he took to the sky, he didn't get airsick. He was excitedly holding a telescope to look at the ground on the plane, but it was dark, basically nothing
Can't see either.
This made Li Yunlong couldn't help but mutter: Damn it, sitting on the plane is not as enjoyable as we, Mr. Li, thought!
Davis asked: "Dear Commander Li, looking at the route of the Japanese air force, it should fly to Jinan, Shandong, and then fly back to Shanghai along the Jinpu line. What if someone calls us through the radio after the Japanese formation gradually converges?
Do it?"
Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and immediately replied: "Don't panic! This time, little devils, all the flight formations from Central China, North China, and East China have gone to Licheng to fight.
The systems are in chaos, and the Japanese probably can’t tell who is who.
We can disguise the disrupted flying team so that the Japanese can't see clearly after dark.
If anyone asks us, just ask the Japanese translator to scold Okamura vigorously. If you ask again, just scold Okamura directly. If you continue to give me nonsense, let Commander Okamura invite you to the Eighth Route Army prisoner of war camp tomorrow for dinner!<
/p>
Just do this and it will definitely work!"
In order not to be left behind by Lao Kong, Li Yunlong, who has been studying hard, also learned some Japanese.
Lao Li listened for a long time in the Japanese communication formation. These bomber formations, which were chased by the Eighth Route Army fighter jets, had been completely disrupted and everyone was in shock. They were all called by the airports along the way and gradually converged towards the Shandong area.
All the strongholds along the Jinpu Line turned on searchlights to guide the air force back to Shanghai.
Both the Navy and the Army Air Force are sending greetings to the eighth generation of Okamura's ancestors.
Let’s just keep scolding and that’s it!
In the end, the flight lasted almost four hours. Fortunately, one team specially modified the Japanese fuel tank to have a larger fuel capacity and stronger endurance.
For this bombing of the Japanese military airport in Shanghai, as long as the round trip goes smoothly, there will be enough fuel.
When we are about to arrive in Shanghai.
According to the plan, the aviation force was divided into three formations and simultaneously conducted air strikes on the Japanese Jiangwan, Longhua, and Hongqiao airports.
The dive bomber first drops flares and then attacks the designated target with dive bombs. Then the long-range bomber lowers its altitude, drops all the bombs at once, passes through the urban area and drops leaflets, and then flies to the west of Shanghai.
At that time, the New Fourth Army troops gave them campfire instructions. After the formations merged, they turned back and gained altitude on the Yangtze River as planned before flying to the Jiaodong Peninsula.
When Li Yunlong was about to arrive in downtown SH, he said to Davis, "I heard that the lights in your country's east coast cities are very prosperous at night. There are basically no lights at night when we come here. Isn't it very desolate?"
Davis said: "Commander Li, I have never been to China before, and I don't know the situation here. It is basically dark at night, and it is indeed very desolate.
But I believe you can build your own country."
Li Yunlong said: "Haha, that's for sure.
When the time comes, please fly the night route and see the different nights."
Li Yunlong said, and then asked Xiao Song, the accompanying reporter: "Xiao Song, can you have some potential?
Are you feeling better about your airsickness?
I'm going to pick up your night camera and take pictures of the air raid on Shanghai. You're going to record my order to drop bombs later, and also record the fireworks at night."
Reporter Xiao Song resisted the nausea reaction and nodded in agreement.
Li Yunlong asked Davis again, "How to use this scope and how to calculate the impact point?"
Davis spoke a bunch of jargon, but seeing that Li Yunlong couldn't understand, he put it in simple terms: "First look at the target of the dive bomber's incendiary bomb in front, then magnify it through the sight and calculate the distance between the target and us, and then calculate it based on the altitude.
By determining the approximate location of the free-falling bomb and finally choosing the place to throw it, you can hit the target relatively accurately."
Li Yunlong asked: "Is the height of 1,000 meters low enough for us to drop bombs?"
Davis smiled and said: "Be bold, we will launch a low-altitude bomb drop at an altitude of 500!
Didn’t the Japanese guide us to land?
We dropped the bombs on the Japanese as a surprise!"
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Let me press the bomb button with my own hands later. What is the command to drop the bomb?"
