Japanese fighter planes appeared one after another.
Check carefully. There are twelve in total. The models are all Type 97 fighter jets.
Sure enough, it came on time.
I guess I tasted the sweetness last time and couldn't stop.
The Japanese invaders must be very happy with the excellent results last time, so they want to do it again.
But this time, it was their turn to become prey.
Notification.
"Twelve enemy planes were found in the northeast direction. The distance is 330 kilometers."
"receive!"
Yakovsky replied.
The air force lieutenant general personally led the team. He was very brave.
Lao Maozi's character is such that he is always ready to go to the police personally, especially those political commissars.
It's a pity that it was so smeared later.
The French invented the war team and so on. But it ended up being blamed on the Soviet Red Army.
No wonder the French were defeated so quickly.
"Adjust heading 050, altitude 2500, speed 370."
"receive."
The three large formations immediately adjusted their course.
Zhang Yong himself also adjusted his course and flew in front of the Soviet fighter formation.
The air map showed that there were only twelve enemy planes. There were not more. It was a pity. There were thirty-six on our side!
Three against one, nine out of ten are guaranteed.
Flying in both directions, the speed is extremely fast and the distance is shortened rapidly.
In the absence of radar, the probability of such an encounter in the air is actually very small. Basically, it is missed.
Unbeknownst to both parties, other aircraft may have passed nearby.
Therefore, the ambush of Yamamoto Isoroku was indeed miraculous. Yamamoto was indeed unlucky.
The P-38 twin demon can successfully attack from a long distance.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yong's attention was no longer on the Japanese fighter planes.
on the ground.
There are many yellow spots on the ground.
Because the altitude is only 2,500 meters, the radar map directly scans the ground.
So many yellow dots indicate that we have entered the Red Party's base area.
In the future, this place will become a hot land. It will become the goal that countless passionate revolutionary youths aspire to.
Keep flying.
If it hadn't changed its course, it would have just passed over Yan'an.
I wonder if I can see Pagoda Mountain?
The number of yellow dots is increasing.
The description gradually enters the core of the base area.
If there is a chance, maybe, I should fly the plane and land it?
Receive some red education to avoid further corruption?
My mind moved.
It seems possible to arrange some airdrops?
Coincidentally, the battlefield of the air battle is right above the red base area.
If the system were to be airdropped and delivered at this time, no one would be suspicious of them. They would only think of the Japanese invaders.
Perhaps, the Japanese transport plane was shot down. Therefore, the supplies landed.
Okay, that's it. Arrange the airdrop.
Airdrop what?
Of course it's weapons and ammunition.
Mainly rifles and light machine guns. Then bullets.
There are 1,000 bullets in a box, and 500 boxes are directly air-dropped. Unfortunately, it cannot be shipped. Otherwise...
Take back your mind.
Japanese fighter planes are getting closer and closer.
50 kilometers…
30 kilometers…
"Adjust heading to 330, altitude to 4100, and speed to 350."
"receive."
Zhang Yong prepared to attack from the side.
The Japanese aircraft formation was arranged in a three-by-four formation and flew southwest at a constant speed.
They should not have expected that a large formation of Soviet aircraft would suddenly appear on the southeast side. They would definitely be caught off guard.
Thirty-six ambush twelve, the results will depend on the ability of the Soviets.
As an airborne early warning aircraft, Zhang Yong's mission is about to be completed.
Judging from the escape action of the Japanese aircraft, it must have been a dive.
Since it is a dive, then arrange for fighter planes to wait for it in front.
Conduct continuous strikes against Japanese fighter planes at different altitudes and in different directions.
Try to wipe them out as much as possible.
8000 meters…
5000 meters…
"First formation!"
"Dive!"
"The target is right below you!"
"Free attack!"
Zhang Yong issued the final order.
Then there was radio silence.
"receive!"
Yakovsky replied.
He hasn't found the target yet, but he has no doubts.
Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, he found the enemy plane directly below him. The distance was about 2,000 meters.
"attack!"
"attack!"
Yakovsky gave the order.
Twelve enemy planes are about to be greeted by a storm of cordial greetings.
"Chi chi chi..."
"Chi chi chi..."
A violent rain of bullets poured down from high altitude.
On the spot, four Japanese fighter planes were hit, smoked, caught fire, and lost combat effectiveness.
The other Japanese fighter planes immediately swooped and fled.
The response was pretty quick.
The movements are very skillful.
However……
They were shocked to find that there was another fire pouring from the side.
This is the second wave of attacks.
"Chi chi chi..."
"Chi chi chi..."
Fierce bullets swept across.
The Japanese fighter plane was caught off guard and was hit again.
Three more Japanese fighter planes smoked, caught fire, staggered in the air, and lost control.
"Baga!"
The other Japanese fighter planes accelerated and dived again.
The system has refined the movements of Zhang Yong's Japanese invaders pilot, and there is nothing redundant at all.
After suffering a sudden attack, the action made by the Japanese pilots is completely engraved in their bones. It was a simple dive.
then……
A third wave of Soviet fighter planes awaited them.
"Chi chi chi..."
"Chi chi chi..."
Fierce fire swept across again.
Three more Japanese fighter planes were hit, caught fire, and crashed.
Zhang Yong:……
sharp.
The performance of Soviet pilots was indeed good.
While seizing the opportunity, he shot down ten Japanese fighter planes in one go.
Two Japanese fighter jets were also chased by other I-16 fighter jets.
However, the two Japanese fighter planes were very cunning. One headed east and the other west, and fled separately.
"Zhang! Can you spot the enemy plane?" Yakovsky's voice came.
"We can see it, but we can only pursue the one heading west. The one heading east is too fast, and we may not be able to catch up." Zhang Yong replied.
"Then chase the one heading west."
"good."
Zhang Yong immediately issued an order.
All the I-16 fighter jets immediately pounced on the Japanese fighter jets to the west.
The Japanese fighter plane flew westward, only making a false shot. After circling in a circle, it flew back quietly.
Of course, the flight was no longer the original route. It was north of Qingyang.
"Course 350, altitude 3300, speed 450!"
Zhang Yong commanded the formation to intercept the Japanese fighter planes.
Soon, Japanese fighter planes appeared. They were immediately warmly welcomed.
"Chi chi chi..."
"Chi chi chi..."
With fierce bullet fire, the Japanese fighter plane finally crashed.
Zhang Yong tilted his head and watched silently as the Japanese fighter plane crashed to the ground. A faint fire broke out on the ground.
That was the explosion of a Japanese fighter plane. The red dot also disappeared. The Japanese pilot died.
"open!"
Yakovsky was finally convinced.
Fighting is so easy!
Out of twelve enemy planes, eleven were killed easily!
Only one left to go back to mourn!
They are also fighter planes, and the Japanese fighter planes are completely passive and vulnerable to attack.
This Zhang Yong is really amazing.
Fortunately, China's national power is too weak to be a concern at all.
Otherwise, if China's national strength is relatively strong and it can produce its own fighter jets, the whole world may not be able to sleep.
With a god like Zhang Yong leading the team, who can defeat him in the air?
No matter who you are, you can only take a beating.
"Zhang, you have made great contributions, and I will personally award you the Red Star Medal."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Yong answered casually.
I’m still thinking about the airdrop. Why hasn’t the airdrop come yet?
Hasn't it already been arranged?
Hurry!
"Zhang, do you want to return to Lanzhou Airport?"
"No. I'm going to Xi'an Airport. I want to go back to Hankou. If you need anything, call me at any time."
"Okay. Then we are returning."
"You adjust the course to 271 and fly straight. Lanzhou Airport is 350 kilometers away."
"Okay. Let's go first."
"Goodbye."
"Davarish, goodbye."
Yakovsky specially added the prefix Davarich, which means affection and trust.
Zhang Yong hovered in the air, waiting for the airdrop to arrive.
Three minutes...
five minutes...
Finally, the airdrop arrived.
One by one, the boxes hit the ground directly.
The boxes contained various weapons and ammunition. Thousands of boxes poured down.
Zhang Yong:……
No. Can you bring a parachute?
Oh. No parachute?
faint……
Fortunately, most of them are bullets.
Even if it falls heavily to the ground, there will be no loss.
But other horse-mounted four-ring rifles, Czech-style light machine guns, etc. may be damaged. The system really cares about killing them but not burying them!
Okay, now that we are here, let’s continue with the arrangements.
61mm mortar…
81mm mortar…
Airdrop them all to me!
The quantity is not large. Fifty of each type. Each door carries 100 rounds of artillery shells.
The number of airdrops is limited. It is completely incomparable with shipping. These small arms and ammunition can only be used for emergency purposes.
Moreover, there are very big restrictions.
The 20mm machine gun and the 37mm machine gun cannot be airdropped.
We can only provide support through other channels.
However, for the time being, the Japanese invaders have not yet focused their attention on the Eighth Route Army, so there is no need to worry.
Airdrop completed.
Adjust course.
Return to Xi'an Airport.
landing.
We are also old acquaintances here.
Many people were brought here by Zhang Yong before.
"Commissioner."
"Commissioner."
Everyone welcomed me warmly.
They all wished Zhang Yong could stay and command the battle at Xi'an Airport.
An inspector who can direct aircraft to defeat enemy aircraft in the air is simply a god-like existence.
If Zhang Yong is at Xi'an Airport, I guarantee that the Japanese fighter planes will never come back!
"I'll make a call first."
"please."
Zhang Yong entered the tower.
Of course the phone was already ready.
“Pick up Hankou Airport.”
"Hold on."
Soon, the call was connected.
In other words, war is really a catalyst.
Previously, there was no direct telephone connection between Xi'an Airport and Hankou Airport.
If you need anything, you need to send a telegram to contact us.
But now, the phone call has been connected.
It fully illustrates that as long as the war requires it, everything will be handled first.
While war has caused great harm to human beings, it has also greatly promoted the progress of science. It is truly a contradiction.
"Hello……"
"I'm Zhang Yong. Are there any Japanese planes coming today?"
"Report to the Commissioner. No."
"oh."
Zhang Yong felt relieved.
It seems that my luck is not that unlucky.
The Japanese fighter planes didn't raid Hankou Airport. That's good. Just don't get attacked.
“Where is Nanchang Airport?”
"Reporting specialist, there are no reports of Nanchang Airport being attacked by enemy planes."
"Okay. I understand. That's it."
Zhang Yong hung up the phone.
I pondered silently. The Japanese fighter planes were silent for two days in a row?
What conspiracy are you planning?
Are you still gathering strength? Are you preparing to launch a more violent attack?
The Japanese invaders actually lost a lot of aircraft before. If they want to replenish them, they must fly from the mainland.
View world map.
The Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga is still near the East China Sea.
Since the aircraft carrier did not leave the coast of China, it means that the aircraft carrier was not used to carry the aircraft. It was better to transfer directly.
If there is still no movement from the Japanese fighter planes in the next few days, it means that the other side is really accumulating strength.
You also need to accumulate strength yourself!
I hope Yang Lichu and Huang Zhicheng can assemble more fighter jets with their hard work.
Also, I hope the negotiations between Chiang Kai-shek and the Soviets go smoothly.
It would be best to directly hand over several I-16 fighter groups. Or the Soviets could directly station at Hankou Airport.
Think for a moment.
"Someone is coming!"
"arrive!"
"Take the Eighth Route Army office."
"yes."
The staff transfers the call.
Zhang Yong suddenly thought of Zhan Zhaogang.
It's a pity that the other party can't show up for the time being.
Because he had been "killed" by Zhang Yong.
I don’t know the name of the new director of the Eighth Route Army Office?
"Commissioner, the call is connected."
"good."
Zhang Yong took the microphone.
If outsiders are present, business must be conducted.
"Hello……"
"Hello. I am Zhang Yong. Inspector Zhang Yong."
"It turns out to be Commissioner Zhang..."
"Just now, in the airspace east and north of Qingyang, there was a battle between the National Air Force and Japanese fighter planes. A total of eleven Japanese fighter planes were shot down. Please pay attention. There may be Japanese pilots alive."
"North of Qingyang? East of?"
"Yes. The Japanese fighter planes may still be carrying some military supplies. You should search carefully. Whoever finds them belongs to them."
"Thank you. We will report it as soon as possible."
"that's all."
Zhang Yong hung up the phone.
It seems that the airdrop of supplies is a little too much?
But it doesn't matter. This is an open case. There is no need to pursue it.
The Soviets didn't know.
The Japanese invaders didn't know either.
How to check?
Put down the phone.
Look at the time, it's two o'clock in the afternoon.
It seems that there is no need to rush back to Hankou Airport.
Even if the Japanese planes were to attack, they would not be able to catch up now.
If the Japanese invaders are really accumulating strength, they will probably stop for a while.
As we all know, before a storm comes, it usually seems very calm. Now is the calm period.
Go to eat.
I've missed lunch time and I'm hungry.
The food at Xi'an Airport is far worse than that at Hankou Airport. It is mainly inland and has inconvenient transportation.
Especially without Coke…
Just after I had eaten, the staff officer came in a hurry.
"Report."
"What's up?"
"Commissioner, Chief Hu is looking for you."
"Which Chief Hu?"
"Sir Hu Zongnan."
"oh."
Zhang Yong returned to the tower.
The call has been hung up. But it doesn't matter. Just keep calling.
The staff officer called and was quickly connected.
"Hello……"
Hu Zongnan's voice came.
Sure enough, it's this guy. This guy has been living in Xi'an.
Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Hu Zongnan had never been to the front line. Tang Enbo and Gu Zhutong had fought in many battles.
Only Hu Zongnan has been living in the northwest, in Xi'an.
Only when the Japanese invaders reached near Luoyang did he command his troops to fight against the Japanese invaders several times. They were all small-scale battles.
The disastrous defeat at Zhongtiao Mountain was a great shame even for Chiang Kai-shek. Hu Zongnan's lack of cooperation was attributable to this.
Chiang Kai-shek bears 80% of the responsibility, and Hu Zongnan bears 20% of the responsibility. However, the two of them are very close.
"Sir Hu, it's me, Zhang Yong."
"Young dragon, I will send someone to pick you up. I will give you a banquet in the evening to cleanse you."
"Sir Hu, what is going on?"
"I have something to ask for."
"Okay. I'll go there now."
"I'll send a car to pick you up. I'll wait for you at the Appeasement Office."
"good."
Zhang Yong put down the microphone.
Secretly wondering, what does Hu Zongnan want to do with him?
Risk factors can be eliminated first.
At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek cannot be unfavorable to Zhang Yong.
Without Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, Hu Zongnan would not take action against himself. He also knew that he was not someone to be trifled with.
I guess Hu Zongnan really encountered a problem.
wait.
Ten minutes later, the motorcade arrived.
One car. Two large trucks.
On top of the truck is a platoon of guards, all wearing fancy traps.
It is a pity that the equipment is so good, but it has been stuck in the rear, containing the red base, and not going to the front to kill the enemy.
I need to think of a way...
Deploy Hu Zongnan's troops.
It may be a bit difficult to get involved in the Battle of Xuzhou. Here, Li and Bai play the leading roles.
But during the Wuhan battle, it was still possible to find a way to mobilize Hu Zongnan's troops. It was also easier to find excuses.
It was said that the Japanese invaders threatened Chongqing at any time, frightened and frightened Chiang Kai-shek, and forced him to dispatch troops and generals.
After a quick glance, I found that the person leading the team was an acquaintance.
Sun Ce.
The battalion commander under Hu Zongnan.
I encountered it when I was in Weinan. I didn't expect to encounter it again here.
It seems that he has been transferred back to the headquarters.
His military rank used to be major. Now he's lieutenant colonel.
"Report."
"Sun..."
"Reporting to the commissioner, Sun Ce, a humble official, has been ordered to come to greet you."
"good."
"Please get in the car."
"good."
Zhang Yong got on the bus.
The convoy soon arrived at the Office of Appeasement.
From a distance, I could see Hu Zongnan greeting me at the door with officials of all sizes.
Haha, I feel quite respectable!
Such a big battle.
But I'm used to it. I don't feel anything at all.
Tell yourself rationally that when you are polite to others, you must ask for something.
Hu Zongnan was so polite, so he was probably in trouble.
