Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

"boom….."

After Tukhachevsky slammed his clenched fist on the desk in front of him, he suddenly came to his senses.

Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he exclaimed in surprise: "Now I finally understand why the National Defense Forces launched shelling at us at this time... It turns out that all of this is to cover their aerial night raids..."

Although the content of the telegram became a reality, the heavy expression on Tukhachevsky's face lasted less than ten seconds before being covered up by confidence again.Facing the chief of staff with a sneer, he said: "Although the defense force's idea is good, they also underestimate the air strength of our Soviet Red Army..."

"Even if all the 1000 or more than [-] fighters parked at the rear field airports are destroyed, the more than [-] fighters of the Far Eastern Army parked at several other field airports can completely control the air supremacy of the entire battlefield..."

The Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Military Region was not so proud, and asked with a heartbroken face: "Comrade Chief of Staff, then we will just watch the Air Force of the National Defense Forces bomb the field airport and remain indifferent..."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Tukhachevsky asked heavily.

Seeing the other party shaking his head helplessly, Tukhachevsky opened his mouth to analyze: "The National Defense Forces attacked us regardless of the cost because they have no way to retreat. But we have enough ways to defeat us." The National Defense Forces, why do you take the risk of flying at night and make fun of the lives of comrades in the Air Force..."

Seeing the unrelieved heartache and unwilling expression on the other party's face, Tukhachevsky continued to analyze: "According to the telegram, the Air Force dispatched by the National Defense Forces exceeds one aviation division. Under the attack of such a large aviation formation, and Or a night attack. How long can the airport last...."

"In the face of air strikes by the National Defense Forces, the only reinforcement we can provide is to send air defense forces and air force fighter groups. In such a short period of time. The air defense forces we sent out have not yet arrived on the battlefield, and the entire field airport has been devastated... As for Send the air force to intercept. Do you think that under the cover of night, our air fleet can accurately find the Wehrmacht fleet and launch an attack..."

Under Tukhachevsky's series of rhetorical questions, the chief of staff had to lower his head and say nothing.

With radar, the clairvoyance that is not affected by the environment, conducting remote command, the entire air strike operation went smoothly like never before.

The ten flying brigades had a total of 360 fighters of various types, and at the cost of losing 23 fighters, they turned the largest field airport behind the Soviet army into a sea of ​​flames.At the same time, the 1000 or more than [-] fighter planes parked by the Soviet army at the airport and a large amount of combat supplies hoarded were all burned to ruins...

Li Guosheng was at the headquarters, looking at him with a tired face.However, Gao Zhihang's eyes were emitting bursts of fiery gaze from the beginning to the end.Li Guosheng reminded with a serious face: "Mr. Gao, although the air strike has won, the battle ahead is still very serious for us..."

Gao Zhihang nodded in approval first, and then replied with a helpless face: "Boss, I understand what you said... However, after this attack, the Soviet army will definitely strengthen the night security and security measures at all major field airports." Air defense. We have no chance of launching such lucrative air raids on other field airfields behind the Soviet Union...."

"To destroy 1000 or more than [-] Soviet fighter planes through a single air strike is beyond my imagination. You are still not satisfied. You are really greedy..." Li Guosheng joked with a smile.

subsequently.He warned Gao Zhihang with a serious face: "For the sake of the smooth progress of the entire battle, even with the help of radar, the Second Air Division can no longer conduct military operations like tonight. Do such an operation once. The Soviets may still think that We ran into dead mice blindly. But, we did too much. And after every success, the Soviets will have doubts and consider whether we have new weapons in our hands. Whether they will continue to fight with us here.”

"Please rest assured, Chief, the Air Force will never take the initiative to attack again... However, if the Soviet Air Force took the initiative to provoke, then the Second Air Division would have no reason to keep hiding..." Gao Zhihang shouted.

"Yes..." Li Guosheng nodded affirmatively.

"Before the Air Force receives the new 'Mustang' fighter jets, the Second Air Division has only one mission: to provide air support to the ground forces as much as possible before it attracts the attention of the Soviet Air Force..."

In the next half month, although the air battle between the enemy and ourselves continued.However, there was no large-scale air battle from beginning to end.Because, as long as the Soviet Air Force strikes aggressively, the Second Air Division will temporarily avoid the edge and preserve its strength...

Soon, half a month passed.Under Li Guosheng's anxious waiting, Li Mengjie, who had been guarding the general equipment department, finally sent Li Guosheng good news.

"After 27 days of research, the first batch of 72 'Mustang' fighters successfully rolled off the production line at the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. According to the coordination of the General Staff, the 72 Mustang fighters will be driven by 72 pilots of the Air Force and fly directly to the outside world. The Mongolian battlefield, please prepare the frontline headquarters to receive..."

After reading the telegram, Li Guosheng, who had been anxiously waiting for a month, finally showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

Because the arrival of the 'Mustang' fighter jets means that the day of the Wehrmacht's counterattack is coming.

After taking a long breath, he ordered to the adjutant behind him with a fiery face: "Notify the person in charge of the radar unit and immediately monitor the airspace around the airport for 24 hours. If there is any situation, report it immediately..."

"Notify the third brigade of the security guards, and immediately go to the field airport to guard the field airport..."

"Notify Commander Gao of the Second Air Division, and immediately order the 72 outstanding pilots who have already been selected to go to the airport to stand by. I will rush to the field airport in an hour and welcome the arrival of the 'Mustang' fighter jets with everyone..."

After a series of orders were issued, Li Guosheng, who was full of expectations for the 'Mustang' fighter, directly left the headquarters and rushed to the field airport ten kilometers away with his guards...

"Here we come..." An exclamation sounded from the crowd, and a looming roar began to slowly reach everyone's ears.

In the control tower of the field airport numbered 02, a group of senior generals headed by Li Guosheng quickly raised their binoculars.Look in the direction of the sound.

With the help of the telescope, a black spot from far to near.Slowly appear in front of everyone.

As the engine growls louder, so does the black spot.soon.Compared with the Air Force's active Wildcat fighter jets, it is more streamlined, and the blue fuselage with a fully open cockpit appears in everyone's view.

When the first Mustang fighter stopped in front of everyone with a roar, among all the people here, Gao Zhihang, who had the most professional knowledge, had his eyes lit up, and first asked Li Guosheng: "Boss, is this the one you have been following?" The Mustang fighter we're talking about...."

Li Guosheng nodded and asked, "How about it, can these planes catch your eyes, Mr. Gao..."

After Gao Zhihang nodded in agreement, he replied to Li Guosheng: "Although I haven't personally piloted this kind of aircraft. However, judging from the flying speed just now, the Mustang fighter jet in front of me is far superior to Lao Maozi's new fighter jet... ..”

Li Guosheng shook his head and said: "Mr. Gao, you still underestimate the Mustang fighter in front of you...No surprises, the flying speed you saw just now is only the cruising speed of the Mustang fighter. Really enter the battle After the state, the speed of this Mustang fighter can be increased by at least [-] kilometers per hour..."

"It's true..." Gao Zhihang asked back with an incredulous expression.

At this moment, the pilot who flew the first Mustang fighter jet walked quickly to everyone.Hearing Gao Zhihang's rhetorical question, he even forgot to salute, and replied subconsciously out of excitement: "Mr. Gao, what the chief executive said is true.... The maximum speed of the Mustang fighter jet can reach 780 kilometers per hour. It is far faster than the world. All fighters...."

"The speed of 780 kilometers per hour...while the speed of the new Soviet fighter jets is only 620 kilometers per hour. In other words, in the process of fighting the Mustang fighter jets against the Soviet fighter jets, they have an absolute advantage in terms of flight speed ..." Gao Zhihang said loudly with an excited face.

Under Li Guosheng's gesture.The pilot with the rank of captain on his shoulders continued to report: "Master Gao, the advantage of the Mustang fighter is not only reflected in the speed of the fighter..."

"Because the fighter plane adopts a new type of alloy as a whole, the weight of the whole fighter plane is directly [-] kilograms lighter than that of the Wildcat fighter jet. In addition, the Mustang fighter jet uses a new type of propeller. The full-view plastic canopy and the new airfoil... make it more effective in fighter plane combat. Various performances have been greatly increased. In terms of flexibility, it is no worse than the fighters currently in service of the Soviet Army."

"In addition. In order to reduce the resistance and hit rate of fighters in air combat, the landing gear of the 'Mustang' fighter is the first to adopt a movable type. That is to say, once the fighter is lifted into the air, the three landing gears will be retracted into the belly of the fighter, reducing The resistance of fighter jets in air combat."

"In addition, because the weight of the Mustang fighter is further reduced, it still maintains and strengthens the powerful fighting firepower of the Wildcat fighter...."

"The combat firepower of the entire Mustang fighter jet includes: two 20mm caliber aviation cannons arranged side by side under the nose, and one 20mm caliber cannon on each side of the wing. In addition, the two sides of the wings are also equipped with A 12.7 mm caliber aviation heavy machine gun complements the firepower loopholes of the four machine guns..."

"Hiss..." The officers of the Second Air Division headed by Gao Zhihang immediately took a breath, as if looking at a monster, watching the Mustang fighter jet tens of meters away without moving.

Because, in everyone's opinion, in addition to having various performances far superior to the new Soviet fighter jets, the Mustang fighter jet is more like a fire hedgehog full of dangers all over its body.As long as the fire is fired, no enemy can escape the combined attack of four machine guns and two large-caliber heavy machine guns...

When another Mustang fighter jet stopped on the tarmac beside the airstrip with a whistling sound, the shocked Gao Zhihang finally came to his senses.Facing Li Guosheng, he asked with a fiery face: "Boss, can I drive the 'Mustang' fighter jet in front of me right now, to truly experience the powerful strength of the 'Mustang' fighter jet..."

Li Guosheng shook his head and replied: "Forget it, the Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has worked overtime for half a month to produce 72 Mustang fighter jets. If you give me one, there will be one less Mustang fighter jet to participate in the war in the future. After all the fighter planes have landed, immediately let the 72 pilots you prepared adapt to the Mustang fighter jets as quickly as possible. Because I can only give you two days to prepare. After two days, I will use the 72 Mustangs in my hand. Fighter planes launched a counterattack against the Soviet Red Army."

Although Gao Zhihang was disappointed.However, he also knew that what Li Guosheng said was true.

After shaking his head helplessly.Assuring Li Guosheng: "Please rest assured, the Air Force brothers will successfully complete the task. In the future air combat battlefield, let the Soviet Air Force have a good taste of the power of our 'Mustang' fighter..."

Li Guosheng nodded and continued to order: "I believe in you, Gao Zhihang... One day later, I will find a way to create an air battle. Through actual combat, I will use the new fighter planes equipped by the Soviet Union to test the results of everyone's training, and experience it through an actual combat. Take a look at the specific performance of the 'Mustang' fighter...."

"Yes, Chief..."

the next day.The Soviet Red Army's offensive on the ground remained unchanged.However, in order to prevent the fighter planes from being wiped out by the Wehrmacht Air Force, which has a partial numerical advantage, the Soviet Air Force, which came to the battlefield for cover, dispatched three fighter brigades and one bomber brigade.Relying on the absolute number of fighter jets, it threatens the Chinese Air Force that may attack itself.

Not surprisingly, the Soviets faced an absolute numerical advantage of more than 100 fighter jets.For a whole morning, no Wehrmacht fighter plane dared to invade the battlefield.

However, just after noon, a fighter brigade of the National Defense Forces responsible for luring the enemy appeared on the edge of the battlefield very unexpectedly.

In the eyes of Soviet pilots with new fighters.The same number of Wehrmacht aircraft is fat to the mouth, not to mention only having one-third of its own Wehrmacht fighter jets.

Therefore, as soon as the First Fighter Brigade of the Second Air Division appeared on the battlefield, a brigade of Soviet fighter jets left the formation.Flying towards the direction of the First Brigade of the Second Air Division.

After a round of firefights, each with damage, perhaps knowing that they are invincible, the remaining 31 fighters of the First Brigade of the Second Air Division are like frightened birds.Quickly fled to the location of the airport.

In the absence of a speed advantage, this kind of escape is obviously death.A sneer quickly flashed across the corner of the Soviet Commander-in-Chief's mouth.Without hesitation, he ordered his subordinates to pursue, intending to take all the remaining 31 Wildcat fighters of the first brigade into their pockets.

The two fleets chasing each other are getting closer.Slowly shortened from two kilometers to one kilometer, or even 500 meters... When the Wildcat fighter that was fleeing directly ahead was about to enter its range.Suddenly, 36 Mustang fighter jets sprang out of the clouds directly above the airspace where the Wildcat fighter jets were located.

It was like an eagle roaring down, smashing towards the Soviet aircraft fleet with a sharp and piercing whistling sound.

The Soviet fleet has not yet reacted to the sudden change, and the 36 Mustang fighter jets that swooped down have already shot almost two hundred dense flames of varying thickness at them.

Violent explosions sounded in the battle airspace, and the 28 Soviet fighter planes in pursuit quickly dropped to 19.However, even so, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army did not have any intention of retreating.

Because he didn't realize that the fighter jet that dived towards him was different from the 'Wildcat' fighter jet that just pursued him.Of course, even if he realized that he wanted to escape, he couldn't escape the crazy pursuit of the Mustang fighter.

The commander-in-chief of the Soviet army will pay the price with his life for his blind self-confidence.

When 36 Mustang fighter jets completed the first round of collision, quickly climbed, turned around, turned around... and dived again to the remaining Soviet fighter planes at a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army finally, before his death, With a face of resignation, he let out a growl.

"No, we were fooled... This is not the Wildcat fighter we encountered before, but a new fighter that the Chinese have just equipped, a new fighter that is more powerful than us..."

"Boom boom boom..." Before the unwilling roar fell, a new round of violent explosions had already sounded in the battle airspace.

Facing 36 Mustang fighters with the title of "King of World War II Air Combat", the new Soviet fighters had no room to fight back and were slaughtered in the combat airspace.

In a very hidden headquarters on the ground, seeing 36 Mustang fighter jets finish the battle very cleanly, without even giving the enemy time to breathe, a smile finally flashed across Li Guosheng's serious face.

Of course, among all of them, the most exaggerated because of excitement is undoubtedly Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Second Air Division who will soon be in charge of these fighters.

Regardless of the eyes of his colleagues around him, he danced and shouted: "Boss, it's really amazing. This Mustang fighter is specially developed for the new Soviet fighter. In front of our Mustang fighter, the new Soviet fighter There is no chance to fight back, amazing, really amazing..."

Speaking of this, the excited Gao Zhihang continued to add: "Not to mention too much, as long as I have [-] Mustang fighter jets in my hand, I can completely wipe out all the Soviet air forces deployed on the Far East battlefield, and firmly control the air supremacy on the battlefield. In our hands."

Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally, and replied with a serious face: "Mr. Gao, there are no [-] fighter jets for now, but there is a task that you must complete immediately..."

"In addition to the 36 Soviet fighters that we just wiped out, there are at least [-] Soviet fighters threatening the lives of our soldiers on the ground at any time. Since we plan to launch a counterattack against the Soviet Red Army tomorrow, there is no need to hide it Order the air force to attack immediately and wipe out all the Soviet fighters in the sky above the battlefield. Remember, in order to keep the Mustang fighter secret for the last day, not a single Soviet fighter can slip through the net during the battle..." (To be continued..)
