Hunan is a famous granary in China and an important supply base for the National Government's food, soldiers and industrial resources. The headquarters of the ninth theater commander is located in Changsha, the provincial capital, and the Chinese and Japanese armies confront each other across the river along the Xinqiang River in northern Hunan. Changsha
It is a strategically important town in Central China and serves as the hub of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway. After the Wuhan and Nanchang battles, Changsha's strategic position has risen to a particularly prominent position, becoming a strategic point on the gateway to the Southwest and China's strategic rear.
Because Hunan's status is so important, the National Government has placed a quarter of all China's troops here, and Changsha is the top priority. Even the Air Force, which is short of fighter planes, has stationed a squadron here.
airplane.
After the Japanese army captured Wuhan, Hunan, which was originally a rear area, suddenly became a front line, and the atmosphere in Changsha suddenly became tense.
The red morning glow slowly floated over the mountains. The owl that had been patrolling all night also hid in the treetops and took a nap. The sparrows that got up early started chirping in the jungle and started a new day's work. The animals in the woods also
They all began to show their figures.
Suddenly, two fast black shadows flashed across the forest, and the shadows also caused a buzzing roar. The animals in the forest were startled and hid in all directions. It turned out that two aircraft were flying in the sky not far from the treetops.
airplane.
Today, Huang Shiming and Li Jiayou of the 5th Squadron of the 3rd Air Force Group stationed in Changsha are each flying two Curtiss-Hawker III fighter jets to patrol in the sky over Changsha.
The Hawker III fighter is a bi-wing fighter. Although its performance is outdated compared to the single-wing metal aircraft currently in service in various countries, it is still the main fighter with the largest number of aircraft in service in the Chinese Air Force.
Huang Shiming and his wingman Li Jiayou were flying the plane for more than 200 kilometers in the northeast direction. They did not find any suspicious targets along the way. Since they got up early today, Huang Shiming, who was a little sleepy, yawned deeply and stretched his arms.
Lazy, he glanced to the right without a doubt, and his face suddenly condensed.
Huang Shiming immediately swung the control stick and pushed the throttle with his left hand to bring the fighter closer to the front of wingman Li Jiayou. He immediately made a gesture to Li Jiayou.
Li Jiayou looked back, and his eyes suddenly became serious. To their right, several small black dots were flying towards them quickly. Li Jiayou counted, there were seven small black dots in total.
Li Jiayou knew very well that the northeast side was already in the Japanese war zone, and the possibility of it being an enemy plane was very high, so he made a gesture to Huang Shiming, indicating that they should turn around and return immediately.
But Huang Shiming refused. After Huang Shiming gestured twice, he turned around and faced forward. Li Jiayou knew very well what he did. What Huang Shiming meant was that the performance of their aircraft was definitely not as good as that of the Japanese aircraft. If they went back like this, they would definitely be beaten by the Japanese aircraft.
None of them would be able to escape when he caught up. Now he went up to hold off the enemy plane, and then asked Li Jiayou to take the opportunity to run back and report.
Looking at the lonely figure of the War Eagle driven by his teammates, Li Jiayou hated the car he was driving for the first time. They had dismantled the radio of this American export model, and now they couldn't even report a single piece of information to the ground. If they let him
I don't know how many people will suffer when these Japanese planes fly over Changsha.
Although he was filled with grief, Li Jiayou also knew that now was not the time to be sad. He wanted to use the opportunity created by his comrades with their lives to rush back and report the situation to the base, so that the comrades in the base could quickly take off to attack those Japanese aircraft.
.
Huang Shiming, who was rushing towards the Japanese aircraft on the right, had already locked the front and opened the machine gun safety. He had placed his right index finger on the shooting button of the joystick.
But before he could pull the trigger, he found that there were two planes in front of him that were speeding up and flying towards him. They were flying very fast and soon flew in front of Huang Shiming. They separated from each other on the left and right, sandwiching Huang Shiming in the middle.
.
This sudden action caught Huang Shiming off guard. Only then did he see the model of the enemy aircraft on the opposite side. Huang Shiming knew at a glance that this was a new all-metal monoplane fighter with a short and thick fuselage and a fully enclosed
cockpit, but what surprised Huang Shiming the most was the clear blue sky and white sun flag on the fuselage. All of this stunned Huang Shiming, who was already determined to fight to the death.
Surprised, he couldn't help but blurt out a national curse, "Hey, when did our air force start equipping monoplanes?"
After the two flying fighter planes "hijacked" Huang Shiming, they seemed to understand that Huang Shiming did not have a radio. One of the fighter planes shook its wings a few times and motioned for him to follow them. After seeing the other's actions, Huang Shiming also
He followed the opponent honestly into the formation in front.
After Huang Shiming entered the opponent's formation, he discovered that the opponent's six fighters were all surrounding a strange-looking transport aircraft. This aircraft adopted a two-stage flap design that is rarely used on ordinary aircraft.
In addition to the two engines installed, there is also one on the nose and a non-retractable landing gear under the belly, making it look quite weird.
But Huang Shiming could see that the structure of this aircraft was quite strong, suitable for rough landings at field airports, and its safety was quite good.
Since the Hawker III fighter he was flying did not have a radio, Huang Shiming could only look at the monoplanes around him with some envy. He envied them that they did not have to stick their heads out of the cabin to blow the cold wind like he did, and could be notified of any situation through the radio.
, How different is it from me, when I find an enemy plane, I have to go back and report it. This person is just incomparable with other people.
Under the leadership of Huang Shiming, when this fleet flew near the airport, they encountered the Hawker III fleet that was flying in after an emergency takeoff. When the aggressive fleet was about to come over and desperately confirmed the identity of the person coming,
Then a welcome formation was launched to welcome the other party into the airport located southwest of Changsha.
The news of Su Rui's arrival in Changsha was naturally concealed from the commander of the 1st Corps of the Ninth Theater Zone, Second-level General Xue Yue, who was currently in charge of Changsha and known as the "Tiger Boy".
In a quiet courtyard, Xue Yue, who was sitting at a stone table and basking in the sun, had a strange smile on his face after listening to his subordinates' report: "Haha... This person who gives even the old man a headache has come to Changsha."
Is it done?”
The adjutant's eyes flashed with excitement, "Sir, this Su Rui is so brave. He dares to come to Changsha with more than ten guards. How about we arrest him?"
"Catch him?"
Xue Yue helplessly glared at the impulsive adjutant, "Stupid! He is still the division commander of the 300th Division of the National Revolutionary Army and a serious lieutenant general. In what name did you arrest him? After arresting him,
How do you plan to deal with it? And you can tell us what benefits we can get from catching him?"
"this……"
The adjutant thought for a while, and it was true. Although everyone in the upper echelons of the national army knew that the Chairman was not very fond of Commander Su, he had tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and behind him stood the Commander of the Fifth Theater Zone.
Chief Li, with his aura of anti-Japanese hero, who would dare to touch him openly without a clear order from the Ministry of Military Affairs to convict him?
Not only would there be no benefit to catching him, but it would also cause a lot of irritation. What fool would do this? No wonder Commander Xue looked at him with such contempt.
The embarrassed adjutant quickly changed the subject, "Sir, what should we do?"
"What should we do? What else can we do?" Xue Yue looked helplessly at his adjutant. This close confidant of the family was loyal enough to him, but he didn't know how to change his mind.
"He came to Changsha to propose marriage, not to trouble me, Mr. Xue, and Chief Li has already greeted me in advance, so not only can I not do anything to him, but for Chief Li's sake I have
Prepare a gift for him."
Not to mention that Chief Xue was thinking about how to send a gift, our Chief Su was taking Xu Yaoshan and Yang Peile and more than a dozen guards off the plane at the moment. With the help of the airport security office, he borrowed a gift from them.
A car and a truck set off from the airport and headed toward Xu Yaoshan's home.
Having been with the two girls for so long, Su Rui has long understood their family circumstances. The parents of Xu and Yang are both middle-class people with little financial resources. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to send them to Jinling to study. Moreover, the two girls’
Both parents are teachers at Changsha Normal School, so although Su Rui nominally has to visit two families, in fact he only needs to visit one place.
When Su Rui told the two women this idea, Xu Yaoshan blushed and hit him lightly, "This time it's easier for you. If Lele and I live not here but in the enemy-occupied area, I don't see how you can propose marriage."
.”
"hehe……"
It seems that he is born with this genetic gene. Throughout the ages, when men encountered similar situations, they would pretend to be stupid, and our Commander Su was no exception. Therefore, Xu and Yang looked at the rare silly smile on Ai Lang's face.
At the same time, I felt angry and funny in my heart.
When the two cars drove into the normal school near Songya Lake, Su Rui couldn't help but look serious.
The environment of this normal school, which was established in 1912, is very elegant. The car carrying Su Rui stopped outside a quiet courtyard. Su Rui got out of the car and took out the prepared bag from the back of the car.
Gift.
Seeing the nervous look on Ailang's face, Xu Yaoshan couldn't help but said to him in a funny voice: "Don't worry, my parents and Lele's parents are not tigers and will not eat you."
"Nonsense, how can I not be nervous?" Su Rui rolled her eyes, "It is the first time for a hairy son-in-law to visit my father-in-law's house. Anyone who is not nervous is called a stupid boy."
