The National Army has been fighting for a long time in the Maochen Town position, but has not made much progress. The attacking National Army generals are very angry, because the other two sides have received frequent reports of success, but they have not made any progress.
"Master, the enemy's firepower is very strong."
"Fight, we must fight. We are the only one who has made no progress! We have taken back the Yellowstone, and we are moving forward from the north."
"But Master, brothers, the casualties are huge!"
The person called the division seat took a deep breath and said, "Request air support from the independent division."
"good!"
Seeing his chief of staff leave, the national army lieutenant general sighed. There was no progress for two days, and he was also anxious. However, in terms of heavy firepower, they could not match the Japanese. Moreover, the Japanese had built strong fortifications. They could not match the independent division.
But it couldn't be compared to the New Fourth Army. The New Fourth Army had also reached Gaoqiao Town at this time and pushed forward a front line.
He has been fighting here for more than a day. The heavy weapons used by Zhou Weiguo to support the troops in the fifth theater have fired one-third of the artillery shells. He has applied for the centralized use of the previous batch of heavy weapons, which will have unexpected effects.
, but other troops are unwilling to take it out. As for the national army, if they take it out, they may not be able to take it back. And the headquarters cannot force the order. After all, artillery is a good thing. The national army still has this equipment.
Not much.

"There is still no big progress on the front line." Bai Chongxi sighed, "Now, there is no progress on our side."
"Ok, I know."
"Actually, we have held back most of the Japs here. Either side of them can break the Japs' defense." Bai Chongxi added, "It's just that our lack of progress always makes me feel shameless."
Bai Chongxi's words made everyone in the headquarters fall silent for a moment. Bai Chongxi was right. As a regular national army unit, it doesn't matter if it can't compare with the independent division, because everyone knows that the independent division is well-equipped and has strong firepower, but the Communist Party always thinks
The perception is that they are poor and miserable, but after the Communist Party fought several beautiful battles, no one doubted that the Communist Party was the real team to fight the Japanese. The people are very happy now, because both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are now serious
Contributing to the country and regaining lost territory gave the people hope for a powerful country.
"The frontline has just applied for air force support from Nanchang. I read the telegram earlier and said that Zhirou has placed the Second and Third Air Force Regiments of the Independent Division in Nanchang. In other words, we can apply for air force support anytime and anywhere. You know,
The Japanese planes are not as good as theirs. In the past, the Japanese had air superiority and we did not. Now, air superiority should be ours, and we must make good use of it." After thinking for a while, Li Zongren said, "The firepower of the air force is stronger than the firepower of heavy weapons.
many."
"That's true." Everyone nodded, but they still murmured in their hearts that they still needed to rely on the power of the independent division.

Nanchang Airport
"The front line has called us." Zhu Ziming put down the telegram and said to Zhu Jiaxun, "Jiaxun, what do you think we will do?"
"Brother Zhu, how about? Together?" Zhu Jiaxun thought for a while and said, "The national army has been fighting on the front line for more than a day, and there is no progress. Let's go together. The firepower is also fierce. The Japanese will definitely have fighter planes taking off by then.
, and safer.”
Zhu Ziming thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, let's let the Japanese see how powerful our independent division's air force is."
"Um."
A few minutes later, fighter planes continued to take off from Nanchang Airport and fly to Wuhan. The distance from Wuhan to Nanchang is about 260 kilometers. According to the speed of the Hellcat fighter, it only takes less than half an hour. You know, hell
The Cat's maximum speed is 612 kilometers per hour. The Liberator's speed is slightly slower, but about half an hour is enough. In order to keep the same pace, the Hell Gate pilots all controlled the speed. Otherwise, if they arrived first
On the battlefield, the Japanese planes will be attracted first, which will put the bombers under threat.
"Brother Zhu, let's fire a round of fire at the Japanese position first," Zhu Jiaxun's voice rang in Zhu Ziming's ears, "and then let the bombing brigade bomb the Japanese position, directly destroying the Japanese position, and then the Japanese will be
There is nothing left to defend." In the face of absolute strength, Zhu Jiaxun has this confidence. He was originally the ace air force of Guangdong and Guangxi, but retired due to injury last year. Now, because of the independent division, he has the opportunity to soar into the blue sky again. In his heart, it is
I am extremely grateful to Zhou Weiguo. But since he learned that Zhou Zhirou served as the commander of the Air Force Division, and now that the number of Central Air Force pilots in the division is slowly increasing, Zhu Jiaxun actually feels uncomfortable. He is afraid, afraid that these people will corrupt the independent division.
You must know that most of the pilots in his third regiment are his former teammates and came from the Guangdong and Guangxi Air Force. As for the first and second regiments, there are more pilots from the Central Air Force. Even in Zhu Ziming's team, there are some who do not accept Zhu Ziming's discipline.
.If Zhu Ziming hadn’t suppressed them, I’m afraid Zhu Ziming would have had to give up his position.
"Okay." Zhu Ziming nodded and replied, looking straight ahead. The endless white clouds and the endless blue sky made Zhu Ziming very comfortable. This time, he participated in such a big battle to regain Wuhan, and he would feel that he was with
You are so proud. He, Zhu Ziming, also became an officer of the Kuomintang in an upright manner. When people in later generations say other things, they will also say that heroes do not ask where they come from. This makes him work even harder, and he wants others to see him.
Look, all the people from Qingfeng Village are not cowards, they are all good guys who fight Japanese invaders. Let the people under him see that he, Zhu Ziming, did not get into this position just by relying on his connections.
Most of the pilots of the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment could hear the conversation between Zhu Ziming and Zhu Jiaxun. The Third Regiment was okay, after all, Zhu Jiaxun was one of his own family. But some of the people from the Second Regiment, those from the Central Air Force, were not very comfortable.
. Let them just listen to Zhu Ziming, but now, Zhu Jiaxun, who retired due to injury, is still here gesticulating.
Most of the pilots Zhou Zhirou called over were old pilots rather than those who had just graduated from aviation schools. Therefore, many of them had worked with Zhu Jiaxun. However, due to their current status, it was not easy to say too much.
About half an hour later, Zhu Ziming and others arrived in Wuhan.
…
"Our plane is coming!" The Chinese soldiers looked up and were excited when they saw the plane flying from the south.
"This time, the Japanese who can definitely beat us are scurrying away." A soldier shouted, as if he saw victory.
"That's right! You know, the planes of the Independent Division are very powerful! The Japanese planes can't hit them at all!" Another soldier also responded. He expected the air force to blast the Japanese positions to pieces, and then they could rush in quickly.
