The most precious value of Coke is in the first sip.
After taking a sip of Coke, I feel much better. My vitality seems to have returned to more than 70%.
For people who don’t smoke, drink tea or coffee, Coke is undoubtedly the best stimulant.
Especially after a victory, it is really nice to have a bottle of Coke.
Climb out of the cockpit. Land. Stand firm.
"open!"
"open!"
Parlov, Joseph and others welcomed him.
After they landed, they did not leave. They kept listening to the communication channel information near the runway.
When they heard that the last Japanese aircraft was shot down, they all let out deafening cheers.
At the same time, the entire airport was cheering.
Everyone inside the tower also shouted excitedly.
victory!
Complete victory!
Shoot down all enemy planes!
No loss of your own!
Such a brilliant achievement has never happened before.
When Zhang Yong led his troops to the sky before, he only shot down most of the enemy planes. He did not annihilate them all.
Only this time, all enemy planes were wiped out.
Not a single one escaped!
"Report it!"
"Report it!"
Zhang Ping was excited and incoherent.
In fact, the results of previous battles have long been reported to the Air Force Command.
However, the value of annihilating all enemy aircraft has only now become apparent.
What is total annihilation?
It means destroying as many enemy planes as they come.
It's not the upper limit of victory. It's the upper limit of the number of enemy planes.
If there were more enemy planes, the results would be greater and more could be eliminated!
What are the core factors of total annihilation?
Of course it was Zhang Yong’s command! The Commissioner must be credited with first place!
Without the command of the Commissioner, we might not even be able to touch the enemy planes. Where would there be any victory?
He might even be attacked by Japanese planes and suffer a disastrous defeat.
This lesson has happened many times.
"open!"
"open!"
A group of big guys with grinning faces like giant hippos came up and surrounded Zhang Yong.
There were so many of them that Zhang Yong couldn't resist them.
Then……
They lifted Zhang Yongtuo and threw him into the air.
Zhang Yong:……
Don't. Don't be so crazy.
You guys, if I don't catch it for a while, I'll be finished.
I feel like my whole body is empty. I feel insecure.
When I fell, I felt even more empty behind me, as if I was about to fall into the abyss of hell.
Suddenly, someone supported me from behind. It was very secure.
Oh, it's okay.
Didn't fall to the ground...
but……
Soon it felt wrong again.
He was thrown up hard by those guys again.
sweat……
never mind……
Let them be!
Each one has unlimited strength and excess energy.
It seems that I have never enjoyed such treatment in my previous life, and I just enjoy it.
Close your eyes.
Empty yourself.
"Hoo ho!"
"Hoo ho!"
To be thrown up. To be caught.
Then he was thrown up again and caught again.
Repeat the cycle.
Five times…
ten times...
Khan, why don’t you stop?
Wow, do these guys want to be so awesome?
Please, I'm dizzy...
"stop!"
"stop!"
In the end, Zhang Yong took the initiative to beg to be let go.
Those big guys who were so excited that they couldn't control themselves finally put him down.
"Zhang! Vodka!"
"Zhang! I'll give you the Order of the Red Flag!"
"Zhang! I'll give you the Order of Lenin!"
Those guys enthusiastically hung medals on Zhang Yong's chest.
Zhang Yong:……
Shocked. Do these guys have such a good background?
All of them have the Order of the Red Banner and the Order of Lenin? Those are only awarded to the best in the Soviet Red Army!
Oh, those who can be selected to come to China to support operations are all the best in the Soviet Red Army.
It seems that the big guy who led the team will later become the Marshal of the Soviet Air Force.
Although they are not as famous as Zhukov or Rokossovsky, they are still at the marshal level!
Several aces among Soviet pilots seemed to have secretly come to China to fight.
Originally, this period of history should have been recorded in great detail. Unfortunately, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, all this was gradually wiped out.
"I'm tired, I want to rest..." Zhang Yong had to find an excuse to leave.
Only then did the enthusiastic big man let him go.
Zhang Yong felt relieved and quickened his pace.
Look at the medal on my chest. I can’t laugh or cry.
Yes, you have to return it in person after a while.
These medals are their honors and will accompany them throughout their lives.
"Commissioner..."
Zhang Ping came up.
Zhang Yong began to briefly describe the battle situation.
All six Japanese aircraft were destroyed. One pilot parachuted out.
"The location should be southwest of Jinxian County..."
"Fuhe area..."
Zhang Yong was as precise as possible in order to capture the target alive.
Since the Japanese pilot successfully parachuted, it means that the possibility of landing alive is extremely high.
If the local garrison and the people can capture him, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement. After interrogation, a lot of information may be obtained.
The Japanese pilot who crashed near Yingtan was not a parachutist. He was a parachutist who survived the crash. He may have been seriously injured.
Given the current medical conditions in China, it is estimated that it will be difficult to treat the seriously injured.
"I'll make arrangements immediately."
"By the way, there is one thing. Did we suffer a disastrous defeat in the previous air battle?"
"Yes. The worst one was when twelve I-16s took off to fight against more than twenty enemy planes. They were all shot down and only three survived."
"When did it happen?"
"Early November."
"oh."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder those Soviet pilots were so excited. They were also eager to win!
but……
Twelve I-16s were all shot down? How is that possible?
"What are the enemy aircraft losses?"
"No loss."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was surprised.
Not a single Japanese aircraft was shot down?
Too surprised?
Were the Japanese pilots that cool?
"It's indeed true..."
Zhang Ping also had a bitter tone and did not want to recall.
Such a result is difficult for anyone to accept.
However, the cruel reality is this. Japanese aircraft are difficult to deal with.
Seeing that Zhang Yong couldn't believe it, Zhang Ping briefly described the previous tragic defeats in a low voice.
This information is blocked internally by the Air Force and is strictly prohibited from dissemination to the outside world.
The main concern is that morale will be affected.
In general, the situation of the National Air Force and the Soviet Air Force aiding China was not good.
No matter in terms of aircraft technology or human technology, they were inferior to the Japanese invaders. The Japanese invaders' fighter planes had most of the initiative.
Japanese planes took off from Peiping to raid Lanzhou, and they succeeded every time. They were intercepted only once or twice.
The national air force has more than enough ambition but not enough power.
The Soviet air force aiding China was unfamiliar with the situation and was poorly prepared.
Whether it is the I-15 or the I-16, there is a big gap in performance. Their performance in combat is not satisfactory.
In the Spanish battlefield, both the I-15 and I-16 performed well.
However, this is the Chinese battlefield. It is much wider than the Spanish battlefield. These two types of aircraft are a bit acclimatized.
"Did you just say that enemy planes took off from Peiping to attack Lanzhou?"
"Yes."
"Isn't it taking off from Taiyuan Airport?"
"The Japanese invaders have not yet stationed a large number of aircraft at Taiyuan Airport. But they will soon."
“Taiyuan Airport…”
Zhang Yong frowned secretly. This is very bad news.
Taiyuan fell too quickly. Yan Laoxi did not resist resolutely at all.
After the Japanese invaders occupy Taiyuan, they will definitely deploy more aircraft in Taiyuan. They will then use them to conduct air raids on Xi'an, Lanzhou and other places.
As the Japanese invaders deploy more and more fighter jets at Chinese land airports, the National Air Force and the Soviet Air Force assisting China will face increasing pressure. More and more pilots will sacrifice their lives, including the Chinese themselves.
There are also Soviet volunteers.
The future is really a long way to go!
In the past, the hardships of the Anti-Japanese War were only written about in history books.
Now, he really felt it.
It doesn't matter what you want. You can fight with whatever you want.
It can only be filled by human life. Ten for one, or even a hundred for one.
The army can still rely on human lives to fill the gap, but the air force can't even fill the gap with human lives. Because the prerequisite for filling the gap is that you have to have planes!
If there are no planes, you are not even qualified to kill people.
well……
"Go and do your work."
"yes."
Zhang Ping left.
Yang Lichu came up with technical staff.
They need to remove the film from the aerial camera and analyze the data to interpret the results of the battle.
It's not up to the pilot to decide.
As long as the pilot fires, the camera will automatically take pictures.
"I want to take a hot bath."
"It's arranged."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Yong left in a hurry.
Go back to your residence, take off all your clothes, and take a shower.
The radar map showed that Yegorov returned successfully with the remaining I-15 fighter jets.
The battle is officially over.
Shot down six enemy planes.
There were no casualties of his own.
The first time it served as an "airborne early warning aircraft", it seemed to have a pretty good effect.
If it weren't for radio limitations, I wouldn't even have to go to the sky. I could just conduct the command directly from the tower.
"Crash..."
"Crash..."
Hot water flows through the whole body. It feels soothing.
It’s good to have a high position and high authority! All equipment and facilities are the best.
Not only does it have a separate shower room, but it also has a shower and spray, which is just short of a large jacuzzi.
In fact, if he opens his mouth, he can really get into the bathtub...
The radar map showed that a staff officer had arrived. He was found taking a shower, so he waited patiently outside.
Zhang Yong then finished taking a shower, dried himself, and came out wearing a bathrobe.
Huh? Why do you still have a bathrobe?
Yes. There are. There are even Simmons spring beds...
If you want, you can sleep with Shen Ming, Cheng Yin, Zhang Rong and the others...
"Come in."
"Report!"
A communications officer came in.
Holding a folder with the word "Top Secret" written on it.
"Commissioner, secret message from the attendant's room."
"Give it to me."
"yes."
The staff officer handed over the folder.
Zhang Yong took it, opened it, and took out the telegram inside.
It was indeed sent from the Attendant's Office. The content is very simple. It is a special commendation. The reward is 10,000 legal currency.
wipe……
Ten thousand yuan! Legal currency!
What a big gesture...
Do I, Zhang Yong, seem to be in need of that 10,000 French currency?
However, it was rare for Chiang Kai-shek to offer a reward in person, so he naturally couldn't refuse it. He also had to express his gratitude. The only thing left to say was thank the Lord for his kindness.
Huh?
Thank you Lord for your kindness?
Okay, let’s just reply like this.
Simple. Rough.
Who doesn’t know that Chiang Kai-shek has such little thoughts in his heart?
I deliberately tickled him...
"Call back."
"yes."
"Content: Thank you Lord for your kindness."
"Um?"
The staff officer subconsciously raised his head.
this……
I don’t want to talk about this now!
The Revolution of 1911 had just overthrown the monarchy, how could it be like the feudal dynasty again?
Now is the Republic of China...
"Just reply like this. Four words: Thank you Lord for your kindness."
"yes."
The staff did not dare to say anything and hurriedly took notes.
Then Zhang Yong signed for confirmation. The staff officer went away holding the folder.
sit down.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
I'm really a little tired. Take a nap.
Confused...
In a daze...
When I woke up, I found that it was already night.
Huh?
Squinting for a while is really mysterious magic!
I just squinted for a while, and a few hours passed. The surroundings seemed particularly quiet.
Checking the radar map, I found that many people were busy around him. It was just that people were on alert around the place where he lived.
Oh, it's Yue Shenzhou's five-man group and Wei Yong. They are all around the house, with weapons on their bodies.
Where is Yang Lichu? Oh, over there in the technical department. She is probably tinkering with photos.
After those I-15 fighter jets return home, there will be a lot of photos that need to be interpreted. The workload is quite heavy.
The formal congratulatory message will not be announced until the photo interpretation results are available.
The photos developed here are sent to the Air Force Result Judgment Committee via fax machine for confirmation.
In particular, fax machines have been around for a long time. Even before telephones.
In the past, in Shanghai, you could even send information to New York, a beautiful country, through a fax machine. It was just that the cost was a bit high.
I seem to have forgotten something?
Oh, go to Chongqing to pick someone up...
Can't go.
It's already dark now. You can barely take off. Landing in Chongqing will be very dangerous.
Forget it. Let’s do it next time. It’s not a big deal anyway.
Rub your eyes. Go wash your face.
Clean up. Go out. Get ready for dinner.
Hungry...
As a result, as soon as I went out...
"Commissioner!"
"Commissioner!"
Several staff officers surrounded him.
Zhang Yong knew that he had missed a lot of things by squinting just now.
There may be many people looking for you, or many things looking for you. However, I fell asleep, so I put it off.
Huh?
It seems like he has become a big boss?
It means that others no longer dare to disturb me easily, so as not to make me unhappy.
Zhang Yong waved his hand, indicating to come one by one.
"You come first."
"Reporting to the Specialist, this is a congratulatory message from the Air Resources Department."
"Any more?"
"there is none left."
"Give it to me!"
Zhang Yong took the folder and signed it, indicating that he had read it.
It's just a congratulatory message. It's just a formality. Signing is all.
"You come..."
"Reporting Specialist, this is a congratulatory message from the Air Resources Department..."
"It's just a congratulatory message?"
"yes."
"OK."
Bring it over. Sign it. Done.
Other telegrams were also congratulatory messages, including those from the Military and Administrative Department.
Huh?
Ministry of Military Affairs?
He actually sent himself a congratulatory message?
Forget it, I'm too lazy to worry about it. Anyway, there is no intersection.
The Air Force is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs and has its own independent operating system, including logistics.
The personnel, materials, training, etc. of the National Air Force have nothing to do with the Ministry of Military Affairs.
"you……"
"Reporting Commissioner, this is a congratulatory message received on the 95.27 MHz channel. They are all anonymous."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong took it and browsed it through.
Not to mention, there are quite a few congratulatory messages. I just don’t know who is behind them.
In the congratulatory message, a lot of information about the Japanese invaders and HNA was also mentioned. For example, the ace pilots within the Japanese invaders and HNA.
Ryohei Shioda...
Nanxiang Maozhang...
Thoughtfully, I remembered the Japanese pilot during the day.
Obviously, that guy is a top-notch veteran. Being able to get rid of tail biting so quickly is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
Could it be that this guy is the ace pilot of the Japanese invaders and HNA?
Type 96 carrier-based aircraft...
"Where did this telegram come from?"
"Shanghai."
"Sure?"
"Yes."
"good."
Zhang Yong put the telegram away.
It seems that there are still people in Shanghai secretly helping him.
This person should be familiar with the Japanese invaders and HNA. In other words, he should have information about the Japanese invaders and HNA.
However, providing one or two trump card names is actually of little use.
On the battlefield, it still depends on the number of people.
Beat the old master to death with a blind punch. Rarely would he be beaten by a group.
In particular, Zhang Yong can act as an early warning machine. He is best at group fights.
One on one, I am no match for you.
But, I'm three against one. Four against one.
Lay an ambush. Intercept secretly. Attack someone unprepared and take them by surprise.
As long as you make one mistake, you will be dead.
What ace! I am playing the ace!
"Go for it!"
"yes."
The staff officer turned and left.
Yang Lichu is back.
He was light on his feet and obviously very happy.
"Is there a happy event?"
"Yes. It's all yours."
"I?"
"Your aerial photos have been analyzed and confirmed. Three enemy planes on the ground were destroyed."
"So fast?"
"So, your combat record has increased to four."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong was indifferent.
It seems like the record or something is of no use.
The system will not issue rewards based on performance.
"in addition……"
Yang Lichu started to speak but stopped.
Zhang Yong:???
"The six aircraft shot down this time are all prepared to be recorded on your head."
"What?"
"Your record will be improved to ten."
"ah?"
Zhang Yong was at a loss.
What is this operation?
etc!
Do I steal someone else's record?
no!
How could I, Zhang Yong, do such a thing?
If I wanted to count the number of kills, I would go and fire on the Japanese invaders myself! I would never steal from others.
"no……"
"Listen to me."
"good."
"Information about the Soviet Volunteer Air Force aiding China cannot be made public. Therefore, the results cannot be registered with them. Of course, there will be another system to record their results. They will return to China with their results."
"Where are the others?"
"The people who took to the skies this time were all Soviet pilots, not our own. Therefore, there is no way to record it on others. It can only be recorded on your head."
"I refuse."
"The Air Force also needs to vigorously promote its achievements and heroes. You, Commissioner Zhang, are undoubtedly the best candidate."
"Four. I recognize. Cross. No."
"Without your command, it would be impossible to shoot down six enemy planes, right?"
"That's what I said..."
"Then tell me, whose head should the record be recorded on?"
"Well……"
Zhang Yong scratched his head.
Stumped.
I really can't seem to find anyone else.
None of the other Chinese military pilots took off. There was no way to record it.
If you took off for a while and participated in assistance, you might be recorded. The problem is, there was no such thing at the time!
It seems that next time, Chinese pilots will still be allowed to participate in the battle.
"You deserve it."
"Okay."
Zhang Yong finally agreed.
Let all the hatred of the Japanese invaders be directed at you.
He's not afraid anyway.
The more Japanese invaders come, the better.
The more people come, the more people die.
It would be best to attract all the Japanese aircraft to the sky above Nanchang Airport, and then surround and destroy them.
An idea flashed in my mind.
"You just said that destroying enemy planes on the ground counts as an achievement?"
"Of course."
"Okay. I'll go out in the middle of the night to get another handful!"
Zhang Yong was in high spirits.
Set out in the middle of the night. Raid in the middle of the night. Then land safely after dawn.
Make sure the Japanese invaders don't have anything to eat and carry around.
