During this period of time, the Japanese army made a lot of preparations to attack Zhongtiao Mountain. Although the Japanese army tried their best to cover it up, how could it be possible to cover up the mobilization of more than 100,000 troops from several divisions? Soon, pieces of information were flowing like water.
spread to the Chongqing government.
Regarding the frequent mobilization of Japanese troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, Chongqing naturally did not dare to neglect it. Chairman Chiang also summoned the military leaders to discuss, but no results could be reached for several days in a row. In the end, it was concluded that these were only Japanese troops.
The conclusion of normal transfer.
Not only that, Chongqing also transferred the main force of Sun Weiru's unit of the 4th Group Army, known as the Iron Pillar of Zhongtiao Mountain, to the south of the Yangtze River, euphemistically calling it divided use and reconstruction.
As a result, Zhongtiao Mountain's most powerful commanders and troops were placed under house arrest and transferred away. Their own strength was severely weakened, and a disastrous defeat seemed to be doomed.
Liantai County Suburban Airport No.1
A group of student pilots wearing flight suits were sitting on the lawn, looking at the P47 fighter planes that were taxiing out of the runway and preparing to take off. Many of them had envious looks in their eyes.
A student pilot looked around and whispered to his companions next to him: "Brothers, have you heard? It is very likely that we will be disbanded."
A pilot with a Chinese-character face said displeasedly: "Who did you listen to? Don't talk nonsense about the disappearance of a shadow. If the commander finds out, he will kill you."
"Who is talking nonsense?" The thin student pilot said anxiously, "Think about it, our group of student pilots will attack a total of 120 people. Only about 20 people can fly the "Fat Man" (P47 fighter plane).
, there are even fewer people who can drive the "Black Crow" (Stuka), only twelve people in total.
We lost three brothers in the past few days, and they were quickly replaced. Although more than twenty people were eliminated along the way, there are still fifty or sixty people left. The commander also said it last time
, the rest of us can either switch careers to work as ground workers, or we can only disband where we are."
"No...I don't agree." A black-faced pilot student stood up excitedly, "We have trained hard for more than half a year just to fly fighter planes and bring the Japanese invaders into our airspace. For this, even if
They are willing to spill blood in the sky, how can they just disband in such a dejected manner?"
"That's right." A student also stood up: "Before I came, my family had set up a memorial tablet in advance. If I just go back like this, how can I explain it to my father?"
"Lao Meng is right, we can't just go back in despair, otherwise we won't be able to see our parents and relatives!"
The students' emotions became aroused. Some wanted to go to the team leader Huang Huaimin to ask questions, while others remained silent.
In fact, they all know that these people have been "eliminated". They are not suitable for flying fighter jets and dive bombers in terms of air combat awareness and physical fitness. If they really want to force the aircraft to fight in the sky, there is a high chance that they will become
Become a living target for the Japanese.
The reason for making such a fuss is just out of unwillingness.
Just when everyone was feeling discouraged, a student suddenly shouted: "The captain is here!"
Accompanied by the crowd's voices, a tall soldier, but walking a little awkwardly, walked towards the crowd surrounded by several officers. This man was Huang Huaimin, the captain of the flying brigade.
Although Huang Huaimin was lame in one leg, no one in the entire flying brigade dared to look down upon him. Not to mention that everyone in the flying brigade was taught by Huang Huaimin and the Japanese instructor Akihisa Harada, especially because Huang Huaimin had been in the famous
He served in the Fourth Battalion of the Chinese Air Force. His leg was also lame during the bloody battle with the Japanese. If not for this, he would not be able to retire.
Seeing Huang Huaimin's arrival, the students who had been in a heated mood just now stood up straight, and no one dared to speak anymore.
Huang Huaimin walked up to them and said calmly: "What's wrong? Stop talking. Weren't we all chatting happily just now? Why don't you talk now?"
"Report!" The black-faced student couldn't help shouting: "Please speak!"
Huang Huaimin glanced at him: "Permission to speak."
"Captain, I heard that the brigade is going to disband us on the spot, is that true?"
"It's true." Huang Huaimin readily admitted, "After a series of assessments by the brigade, you are indeed not suitable to fly fighter jets or dive bombers, so we do have this plan to disband you on the spot or integrate you into the ground support team.
"
The dark-skinned pilot said angrily: "But sir, even though we are not as good as Huang Kebiao and Xue Shaogong, we can still fly to the sky. Our skills are not as good as those of the little devils, but we still have courage. We can also
If you follow the example of senior Yan Chonghai, you will knock down the kid's plane!"
"Absurd!" Huang Huaimin was angry and strode up to him, with anger in his eyes: "Crash it down, is the fighter plane that Chief Gao bought so hard just for you to use for fun? Do you know that a P47
How much does a fighter jet cost?
Let me tell you, a total of 220,000 Yuan Yang? Are the planes bought by Da Yang Yang just for you to use for crashing? You guys are really arrogant, don't you feel bad?"
Huang Huaimin's saliva almost sprayed on his face, but he didn't even dare to wipe it. He lowered his head silently and didn't dare to say a word. All the students around him were also silent.
Just when they were desperate, Huang Huaimin said again: "But the sky is the limit. Commander Gao has recently acquired a batch of transport planes and bombers. Due to the lack of pilots, after asking for permission, Commander Gao agreed to let you try it."
try.
If you can't even fly transport planes and those large bombers, then don't blame me, Huang Huaimin, for being ruthless. Everyone, count them all, get out of here! Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Huang Huaimin's words were like a fairy voice from the sky to these already desperate students, and many people couldn't help but cheer.
Although they cannot fly fighter jets and dive bombers, it is good to be able to fly transport aircraft and large bombers. As long as they can fight the Japanese, they are not picky.
Two days later, the Liantai Militia League Headquarters
"Old Huang, have everything been arranged?"
"It's already been arranged."
Huang Huaimin nodded, "This time you got eight C-47 transport planes and twenty-four B-25 Mitchell bombers. These many planes are enough to accomodate all the remaining pilots. Now, that's it.
I won’t go through any more trouble if I help the boy.”
Gao Hongming couldn't help laughing.
However, Huang Huaimin then asked out of curiosity: "Team Leader, recently I found that you are collecting supplies and training intensively again. Are we preparing to go to war again?"
