The Japanese aircraft have withdrawn. There is no threat at the moment.
The river breeze blew and the gunpowder smoke dispersed.
Others were busy cleaning up the mess, but it had nothing to do with him.
A dignified inspector does not need to do those small things. He never gets along with others.
Fallen...
it's over……
Next, there will probably be no more fighting.
The other national troops had already retreated westward. Even if the Japanese invaders crossed the river to pursue them, they could not catch up.
Once the national army runs away, it will be a magical Taibao!
After the Japanese invaders occupied Jinling, they also needed some time to breathe.
The surrounding defenses need to be strengthened.
The perimeter of Jinling needs to be cleared.
Among them, including Hangzhou and other places. The Japanese invaders will invade Hangzhou. Hangzhou falls...
Confused...
In a daze...
Just fell asleep like this.
Too tired.
Commander Qian came, but did not alert Zhang Yong.
Others are on alert nearby, trying to avoid making any noise and letting the Commissioner have a good rest.
They all knew that the Commissioner had been fighting continuously all night.
The fight between the ground and the air just now reached a fever pitch. Even if the Commissioner is made of iron, he still cannot hold on.
a long time……
wake……
Slowly opening my eyes, I found the sky full of colorful clouds.
Oh, the sun is setting. Another day has passed.
Sit up.
"Shaolong." Commander Qian came over.
"Commander." Zhang Yong stood up, rubbed his face, stood at attention, and tried to cheer up.
"The headquarters has ordered the abandonment of Jiangyin Fortress."
"Then what we are going to do next is..."
"The mission entrusted to you is to go to Nanchang and take over the Fifth Air Force."
"Fifth Air Force?"
"Yes. There are eight BA65 fighter jets in total."
"Do I have full command?"
"Yes. Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu are already at Nanchang Airport. They will fully cooperate with you."
"I see."
"Young dragon..."
"Commander, you say."
"There are also difficulties in appointing a seat, alas..."
"..."
Zhang Yong was silent.
Who doesn’t have difficulties? Don’t I?
Of course, you can't refute it.
"The first batch of weapons promised by the Soviet Union has arrived in Dihua and will soon arrive in Lanzhou...
"So fast?"
"So, we must retreat. Save our troops."
"..."
Zhang Yong continued to remain silent.
From Chiang Kai-shek's perspective, of course there is no problem.
If the entire army is exhausted, he, the chairman of the committee, will be taken down immediately.
This is how realistic it is for the Fruit Party.
The military is the foundation.
The army is everything.
Chiang Kai-shek himself was the biggest military leader.
At the critical moment, preserving his strength is his inevitable choice. There are no surprises.
only……
well……
"The internal relationships within the Army are complicated and there are too many unpredictable factors..."
"I see."
"The Soviet Air Force to aid China has stationed in Hankou. From now on, your main responsibilities should be with the Air Force."
"Hankou? So fast?"
"In fact, before the Battle of Songhu was over, the Soviet Air Force aiding China had already dispatched planes to fight the Japanese invaders over Jinling."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong was a little surprised.
He didn't know this information. No one told him.
At that time, the aerial map had not yet been upgraded. There was no one-hour flight circle prompt.
Unexpectedly, the Soviets were so active.
Some people in later generations said that aid was a loan, but they don't know whether it is true or not.
However, at this juncture, having someone willing to help you is unique and very rare.
Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, on which Chiang Kai-shek had always pinned his hopes, have always been procrastinating and have not taken any practical actions. They are even unwilling to mediate.
Their consistent policy of appeasement will ultimately shoot themselves in the foot.
"However, the Soviets had just arrived and were not familiar with many situations, so they were not able to dispatch many times."
"clear."
"They have a very good impression of you. They think you are very talented in shooting down Japanese aircraft. This time, it was they who strongly suggested that you take command of Nanchang Airport. The committee finally agreed."
"Yeah?"
"You still have to fight for opportunities by yourself! Your record is unmatched by anyone!"
"Excellent."
Zhang Yong showed his modesty politely.
Unexpectedly, there are so many twists and turns behind the scenes.
It was actually a suggestion from the Soviets!
I don't seem to have any dealings with them. Maybe it's all about their performance.
In terms of simply shooting down Japanese aircraft, perhaps no one can compare with him.
The problem is...
There are not many planes!
An air force only has eight BA-65 fighter jets.
If we put it in future generations, it wouldn't even be enough for one brigade.
There is a long way to go!
The BA-65 fighter jet has short legs and is difficult to attack over long distances.
The airport is in Nanchang and can basically only be in a passive defense state. It is to meet the incoming Japanese aircraft.
Can't fly to Shanghai.
Can't fly to Jinling.
In other words, you can only be beaten passively.
In other words, his mission is more to cover Hankou and the main force of the national air force.
If the Japanese aircraft want to bomb from Jinling or Shanghai to Hankou, Nanchang Airport can attack or intercept the Japanese aircraft from the flank.
but!
Zhang Yong soon discovered a new fighter!
Others may only be able to defend passively. But who is he? He is Zhang Yong! He has time to point to the map!
As long as it is an important target operating within a radius of three to four hundred kilometers, it will be displayed on the air command map. Then aircraft can be dispatched to attack.
What does this mean?
This means that the Japanese warships trying to go up the river will be bombed by him.
This means that all kinds of heavy artillery that the Japanese invaders try to advance westward will be bombed by him.
There were also Japanese invaders marching westward from Hangzhou, all of them were fighting.
Before all the fighter planes are lost, he can even prevent the Japanese invaders from advancing half a step westward.
Without the support of heavy weapons, the Japanese invaders' attack would definitely not be so smooth.
so……
Very promising!
After returning to the Air Force, he is confident of improving his record!
However, it is also very dangerous!
The Japanese invaders will definitely notice this.
Therefore, they will definitely try their best to eliminate Nanchang Airport.
I only have eight BA-65 fighter jets, how long I can last. It’s hard to say. If I try to consume them, I definitely can’t afford them.
"When can we fly Soviet planes?"
"The Soviet pilots currently coming to China are all part-time pilots. They came with people and planes."
"so……"
"Next month! The first batch of aircraft to assist the Air Force will arrive as soon as next month."
"knew."
Zhang Yong tried hard to remember.
Hope I can think of some useful information.
Unfortunately, nothing can be thought of. There are not many records about Su Yuan in later generations.
With the disintegration of the behemoth Soviet Union, much of everything about it has been distorted and even discredited.
In fact, from 1938 to 1941, the National Army relied entirely on Soviet aid to survive the most difficult years.
What types of aircraft are there in Suyuan?
Jacques?
El?
pull?
The outside world seems to be really unfamiliar.
In fact, the Soviet Union has always been a major aviation power. Even after its disintegration.
Of course, after its disintegration, its overall strength will definitely not be comparable to that of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was a super military power.
"Shaolong, you have another mission when you go to Nanchang."
"Please tell me."
"Inspection of Nanchang military affairs."
"clear."
Zhang Yong nodded without paying much attention.
Supervising military affairs in Nanchang seems like a small matter? Nanchang is a big deal...
What military affairs need to be inspected?
What kind of army is there?
At most, they are local security corps. They don’t even have regular troops.
"You don't understand..."
"What?"
"New Fourth Army."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows.
Oh, I forgot. It turns out there is an inside story.
Sure enough, every time Chiang Kai-shek asked him to supervise military affairs, he would always dance in the crater.
"The current headquarters of the New Fourth Army is in Hankou."
"That……"
"The headquarters has made arrangements and will move to Nanchang after the year."
"this……"
"The commission only believes in you. No one else trusts you."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong looked blank.
Just believe me? Are you sure you're not being sarcastic?
Oh, someone may not know the inside story of the things I do. They may think that I am really that...
He has a sworn hatred towards the Red Party. Naturally, he believes it deeply.
What's more, given my greedy and lustful nature, even if I take the initiative to join the Red Party, others won't want me.
Finished...
You are shooting yourself in the foot!
From now on, if we are in the same place as the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, won't we just look up and not see each other when we look down?
Everyone is a big boss, and they are watching me, a little newbie.
I guess I have to hide in the airport and don't come out if nothing happens.
"What do I do?"
"It's up to you."
"this……"
"All right!"
Zhang Yong nodded and stopped worrying.
Since you let me control it myself, then I will control it myself.
hey-hey……
"When should I go to Nanchang?"
"You decide for yourself."
"I'll go now."
Zhang Yong didn't want to delay, even for a minute.
Jinling has fallen. It cannot be changed. The only way is to find a new battlefield.
"I'll arrange a fast boat to take you there."
"good."
Just leave.
Arrange immediately.
Two hours later, Zhang Yong boarded the ship.
The clipper took him to Jiujiang, where he rested for a while and then continued his journey into Poyang Lake.
Finally, we went upstream along the Gan River until we reached Nanchang City.
It seemed fast, but it actually took two days.
When we arrived in Nanchang, there were only six people around us.
The inseparable Yue Shenzhou five-person group and Wei Yong.
Wu Jiutian was unwilling to come. He wanted to stay near Jinling and continue to eliminate the Japanese invaders.
Of course Zhang Yong did not force him, so he left him behind.
The boat stopped and was stopped by security guards. Wei Yong reported his identity.
As a result, a very abrupt and unreasonable scene appeared in the film and television drama.
The soldiers in the security group didn't know him as a commissioner at all.
When the company commander of the security group came, he was also dubious.
It wasn't until Zhang Yong emphasized that he was from the Air Force that the other party did not dare to neglect him.
Send someone to report the news, but they can't leave.
Finally, Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu came, bringing Zhang Yong with them along with their security forces.
Get in the car.
silence.
Don't want to talk.
Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu did not dare to disturb him.
Now this Commissioner is becoming more and more famous and has more and more military exploits.
But my temper seems to have gotten louder. I didn't get angry at the security team just now, and I feel like I'm already very tolerant.
Indeed, Zhang Yong wanted to get angry just now, but he held back later.
It is not a Bodhisattva heart.
It's because I don't have enough people around me to defeat him.
If he brought one or two hundred people with him, he would beat up the entire security team.
Enter the airport.
I found weeds everywhere.
Obviously, this airport has not been taken seriously. It belongs to the stepmother.
In addition to the BA-65 fighter jets, there are also some biplanes, all of which are ancient Hawker-2 types. They have been eliminated by the times.
get off.
With a sullen face.
Zhang Ping left quietly.
It is not appropriate for him to be present at this time.
It was still given to Yang Lichu. She is a woman. She is still his woman.
"Don't be like this..."
Yang Lichu said tentatively, biting her lips lightly.
She hugged him gently from behind to comfort him. He must be exhausted.
From the Songhu battlefield to the defense of Jinling, he has been fighting.
Sure enough, a woman's tenderness can melt everything.
His anxiety gradually calmed down.
Carry her into the bedroom...
Forget about the war for now...
…
a long time……
Dawn...
…
Wake up contented.
Yang Lichu is no longer around. Only the fragrance remains.
The radar map showed that she was already on the airport runway. There were many white spots nearby.
Zhang Ping is also here. Maybe he is giving morning lessons to the pilots?
get up.
Wash.
Finished.
Go out.
Sure enough, I saw those pilots.
They were all young guys. There were a few familiar faces among them, but they were not marked.
Gao Yuanhang and Chen Shanben are not here. They should be handing over the plane to the Soviets.
No news is good news.
To live is to win.
"Commissioner!"
"Commissioner!"
Along the way, guards stood at attention and saluted.
Zhang Yong raised his hand in return.
Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu turned around, stood at attention, and saluted.
Zhang Yong returned the gifts one by one.
Come forward.
Look at those young pilots.
All of them are rich second generation. Many of them have experience of studying abroad.
Pilots need to master a lot of knowledge, and it is impossible to be uneducated. They also need to know foreign languages.
English is the most basic.
Now, with the arrival of Soviet planes, it may be necessary to learn Russian.
Zhang Yong checked his plug-in language pack. Oh, it already has Russian. So, the most difficult level is over.
"Hello everyone. I am Zhang Yong, Inspector of the Military and Political Commission."
"I'm better at shooting down planes."
"Of course, the plane can also fly a little bit. The technology is definitely not as good as everyone else's."
Zhang Yong's simple opening remarks.
The pilots of the National Air Force are actually very simple.
real.
Much simpler than the Army.
They are basically in a closed environment.
Everything outside has almost no impact on them. They spend most of their time living inside the airport.
"What I want to tell you now is that we may attack frequently."
"As long as the Japanese invaders' target comes within 300 kilometers, we may have to launch an attack."
"So, our work and rest schedules may be a bit chaotic. I hope everyone gets used to it."
Zhang Yong continued.
It is impossible for him to passively take a beating. He will definitely find an opportunity to take the initiative to start a war.
Unfortunately, Nanchang Airport is relatively far from Jinling and Shanghai. It has exceeded the combat radius of the BA-65 fighter jet.
When Meng Yufan sent him a plane before, it was a one-way flight. It was not a combat radius.
"I'm done. If you have anything..."
"Say it!"
Zhang Yong looked at a pilot.
The other party raised his hand.
"Your Majesty Commissioner, do we have enough gasoline?"
"I'll find a way."
"If we don't have enough gasoline, we won't be able to go out at all!"
In fact, Nanchang Airport is pretty good. Not far away is Poyang Lake. It can be transported by ship.
Ships can also cross the Ganjiang River. A transport ship of 1,000 tons cannot, but a transport ship of 500 tons can.
Just use a 500-ton transport ship to deliver the gasoline.
Gasoline, ammunition, and systems are all provided for free.
That's what he said. However, the pilots still didn't believe it.
"Disband."
Zhang Yong didn't say much.
When the gasoline arrives, I will naturally believe it.
Sure enough, two hours later, the first batch of gasoline arrived. A total of 500 barrels.
It takes a little effort to transport it from Ganjiang pier to the airport. Fortunately, the route is not too long. It can be completed by ordinary horse-drawn carriages and pallet trucks.
What?
car?
This is very rare.
Not even that.
Later, ammunition was delivered.
Including 200 kilograms of aerial bombs and 7.7mm Breda machine gun bullets.
With the arrival of Zhang Yong, the airport began to operate at high speed.
A large number of local civilian workers were recruited and repairs to the airport began.
At the same time, the road from the airport to the terminal will be expanded.
The cement given by the system finally came in use. Shipping was arranged directly.
Used to build oil depots, runways, bunkers, and air raid shelters.
One word is cultivation!
build!
establish!
Construction day and night!
Zhang Yong waved a large amount of legal currency and distributed money directly.
Came to work. Settlement will be settled on the same day!
Therefore, the enthusiasm of local people is very high.
In just three days, the airport has undergone major changes.
The runway is solidified...
The runway was extended...
Mainly to facilitate landing.
Especially aircraft that may cause damage and require long runways.
At the same time, a rescue team was also formed.
The plane came back injured and needed rescue.
The airport was bombed and needed rescue.
The fourth day...
Day ten...
The empty map is very quiet.
The Japanese invaders should be digesting the results of the capture of Jinling and adjusting their deployment.
Therefore, the Japanese aircraft did not dispatch remotely.
Anyway, there is no prompt for the one-hour flight circle.
So they were busy with various constructions and a lot of cement was put in.
Stock up on fuel, stock up on ammunition...
The pilots were busy training and were well fed by fuel.
At the end of the month.
Notification received. Hangzhou fell. Japanese invaders occupied Hangzhou.
Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport was abandoned long ago. The National Air Force suffered no losses. However, if the airport was occupied by the Japanese invaders, it would definitely be used by the Japanese invaders.
With the fall of Shanghai, Jinling, Hangzhou and other places one after another, the Japanese army aviation will definitely be stationed in large numbers.
The Japanese Army Air Forces had many fighter jets, some of which were more difficult to deal with.
The key is that the Japanese invaders have a strong ability to replenish aircraft.
Even if the frontline suffers losses, the rear can quickly replenish the battle losses.
But the National Air Force is having a hard time.
For the time being, Zhang Yong does not know how quickly the Soviet Union’s aircraft aiding China will be replenished.
Since arriving at Nanchang Airport, he has rarely received information from the outside world. He seems to be isolated from the world. He has never left the airport.
New Year……
January 1, 1938…
The Japanese plane finally arrived.
The air traffic control map indicated that it took off from Taiwan Songshan Airport.
Check.
It was found that they were all Type 96 land-based bombers. They were affiliated with the Japanese Navy's Red Deer.
