Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter 230 Three: Northern Air Force (ask for subscription, ask for monthly ticket, ask for all kinds!!!)

According to the Bushido spirit of the island country, if you can't develop it yourself, you can grab it. Bandits have always been unreasonable. Therefore, the Japanese Army Base Camp issued orders to the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army to annihilate the No. 40 Army and seize penicillin prescriptions and production equipment.

But the order was issued, but it couldn't be executed at all.The North China Front Army is now seriously injured, and its forces are scattered, and it is impossible to concentrate its forces in a short period of time.The Kwantung Army has already transferred the two master regiments to the southern line, leaving only three divisions and a few du li brigades in the North Manchuria area. Not to mention monitoring the Soviet Union, the rebels in Lianmanzhou can hardly be suppressed. Stopped, so Bin Shanyuan and General Ueda jointly sent a report to the base camp, hoping to suspend the task of attacking the No.40 Army. The chances of winning are really slim.

However, the Japanese army did not wait for Chen Feng's troops to grow, and decided to use all the aviation units of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army to jointly attack and bomb Chen Feng's defense area with all their strength.

The Japanese army now has more than 1500 fighters at their disposal, 300 of which are deployed in Japan, and the remaining 1200 are all transferred to China.The specific distribution is 400 for the Kwantung Army, 350 for the North China Front, and 450 for the Central China Front.

The Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army jointly bombed the defense area of ​​the No. 40 Group Army, which Chen Feng never expected. Starting from mid-September, Shenyang Airport, Jinzhou Airport, Nanyuan Airport, Dongjuzi Airport, The Japanese planes flying from Baoding Airport to Chahar were like locusts, and the main task of the No. 40 Army also changed from training to air defense.

The bombing of the Japanese army caused huge losses to the No. 40 Army.In just half a month, 16 towns were bombed, including Zhangjiakou, Datong, Jining and other big cities. Fortunately, Baotou is far away from the Japanese army's airport, and the combat radius of the Japanese bombers cannot reach there, otherwise Chen Feng would lose But it's big.

Despite this, more than 30 houses were damaged, more than 8000 soldiers and civilians were killed and injured, and many farmlands were damaged.What made Chen Feng most angry was that the Japanese army actually dropped incendiary bombs on the grassland, and many pastures in the Saibei grassland were burned down.The life of herdsmen on the grassland is in trouble.

In view of this.Chen Feng decided to fight back.The Japanese army must not be allowed to continue to be so rampant. Before, he always felt that the aviation troops under the No. 40 Army had not yet formed combat effectiveness, so he did not intend to let them confront the Japanese air force elite so early, but now it seems that they cannot fight up.

But even if you really want to fight against the Japanese air force, you have to plan carefully.Fighting is about strategy.rather than courage.A hot decision was made in the head.In the end, it will only increase the casualties of the troops.

Guisui Airport. North China Air Force Command.

Ivanovich, Major General rank, Deputy Commander of the First Division of the Soviet Air Force.Not long ago, he was personally appointed by the great leader Stalin as the commander-in-chief of the China Aid Air Force, under the command of Lieutenant General Chen Feng, the great warlord in northern China.

To be honest, Ivanovic was very disdainful of that young lieutenant general who was a bit too much. As far as he knew, the lieutenant general was a military idiot, a layman, and he didn't even receive the minimum military education. I really don't know why the leader took out so many fighter planes and active pilots and gave them to that incompetent guy.He is very clear about the origins of these fighter planes and pilots. Although he said that they were volunteers during the promotion, and the planes were all scraps eliminated by the great Soviet Union, he knew that these planes were all from the active Soviet Air Force Chief Of course, the more than 300 pilots were drawn from the medical staff.

During this period of time, I received telegrams about the bombing of the Japanese Air Force every day, and towns were bombed every day, and people were killed and injured every day, but that bastard actually forbade them to take off to fight in the air, what an idiot.

However, Major General Ivanovic soon discovered a problem, that is, the young Chinese general seemed to have some skills.At least their army is not bad, although it is still a little bit worse than the great Soviet Red Army.

Although those short bastards send planes to bomb every day, the army under that Chinese bastard is not a vegetarian. He can receive telegrams every day about how many Japanese fighter planes the army has shot down, and even killed 38 fighter planes once.

Originally, Ivan thought it was the Chinese who put gold on his face, but when he rushed to the city called Zhangjiakou with the fleet and saw the wreckage of the Japanese fighter planes outside the city, he was completely convinced.It's not that the army cannot fight the air force, but the probability of being able to shoot down the air force is not very high.However, this squadron was able to shoot down more than 30 aircraft in one air strike, which shows its strong combat effectiveness.

In any case, Ivanovic would never have imagined that for this battle, Chen Feng deliberately transferred the air defense division to Zhangjiakou regardless of Guisui's safety, and this is how he achieved such a brilliant record.

After this period of understanding, Ivanovich also has a certain understanding of the No.40 Army. He feels that the army's weapons and equipment and other infrastructure led by the Chinese general are very good, even a bit luxurious.

Take the airport in front of him as an example. He has been shocked by this huge airport for a week.Originally, he always thought that that guy was so stupid that he actually built the airport in the forest. The birds flying around in the forest alone were enough to cause huge troubles to the air force, and they might even kill people.

But practice has proved that the Chinese general was very thoughtful. Every day at the airport, a gigantic eagle chirping would be played from time to time. The sound was extremely loud. After a few days, there were no more birds in the forest.

In addition, this airport has extremely powerful functions. In addition to conventional runways, hangars, and oil depots, there are also underground command centers and dormitories. There is a full battalion of field troops, and their strength is extremely strong.

Today is Ivan's first day as the chief instructor of the North China Air Force. He will welcome its first batch of Chinese students in this powerful and mysterious airport.

I don't dare to underestimate the Chinese pilot Ivanovic, even though the quality of the Soviet Air Force pilots is also good.However, according to the news from the first batch of volunteer pilots who aided China, although the Chinese Air Force has only a short history of five or six years, it has achieved brilliant results in the battle against those dwarfs.

Although the Japanese air force is much stronger than the Chinese Air Force in terms of the number and quality of fighters, the Chinese Air Force has not suffered a big loss in the hands of the Japanese Air Force for more than a year since the start of the war. The Air Force retreated steadily, and at one point gained air supremacy on the battlefield.To say that the Army's victory in a battle is like drawing a lottery is a low-probability event.

However, the Air Force is different. The Chinese Air Force won the first big air battle between China and Japan, and the Japanese Luya Air Force, which claimed to be "unrivaled in the world", was also beaten to the ground.Even a few "flying aces" can only parry.Flee in a hurry.In the first battle, the Chinese Air Force achieved a brilliant record of 6-0.Great victory over the Japanese Air Force.

Then the Chinese Air Force once again won a big victory in the direction of Hangzhou, shooting down 17 Japanese aircraft.In the ensuing battle, the Chinese Air Force never lost.Of course, with the gradual depletion of Chinese fighters.However, the fighter planes and pilots of the Japanese army can be continuously replenished.Now the Chinese Air Force has completely fallen behind.But nonetheless.However, the reputation of the Chinese Air Force pilots was spread out and was recognized by the Soviet Air Force.

I don't know much about Ivan, the Air Force of the No.40 Army. He only knows that this weak air force with only more than 80 aircraft and fighters has been established for less than half a year.Moreover, it has almost never fought head-on with the Japanese Air Force.

But when he saw the commander-in-chief of the No.40 Army Air Force, Ivanovic was still stunned by the 22-year-old Air Force Major General. 22 years old - major general?Such a military rank at this age would never have appeared in the Soviet Union anyway. As a major general, he was already young enough in the Soviet Union, but this year he is already 37 years old, 15 years older than the Chinese major general in front of him.

"Hello, General Yiwan, I am Liu Nijia, Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Air Force of China. On the orders of Commander-in-Chief Chen Feng, I will hand over the first batch of pilots of the Northern Air Force to your Excellency for training."

"Hi Liu, I'm Ivan, please tell me how many pilots there are in this group?" Ivanovich can speak Chinese well, which is one of the reasons why he was selected by Stalin.

"According to the order of the general headquarters, my aviation division has a total of 312 official pilots and 2765 trainees. The trainees are handed over to you for training, a total of 500 people." Liu Nijia replied.

"Liu, is what you said true? Your air force actually has so many pilots. As far as I know, you have less than a hundred aircraft in total. Is it useful to train so many aircraft?".

"General Ivan, our commander-in-chief attaches great importance to the development of the air force. In our No.40 Army Air Force, it is du li. Although there are only more than 80 aircraft, our aviation division has more than 5000 people. As for training so much The pilots are also reasonable. Now that we don't have planes, it doesn't mean we won't have them in the future. With your support, I believe we will have a strong air force in a short time." Liu Jiani said loudly.

According to the order of the General Command of the No.40 Group Army, led by Liu Nijia and Ivanovic, the General Command of the North China Air Force was established, with Liu Nijia as the commander-in-chief and Ivanovic as the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff As well as the chief consultant, it has three destroyer brigades and one light bomber brigade, with a total of 3 fighters of various types.

The first squadron of destroyers is led by Major Zhatseyef of the Soviet Air Force, and Major Yang Chengang is the deputy commander. The first squadron is equipped with 75 I-15 destroyers.

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yun served as the captain of the Second Destroyer Brigade, and Vasily, a major of the Soviet Air Force, served as the deputy commander. The second detachment was equipped with 75 I-16 destroyers.

The third group of destroyers is led by the Soviet Air Force Major Ostorov, and Major Xue Chenglong is the deputy captain. The third group is equipped with 32 RI-made Type 15 fighters, 27 Type [-] fighters and [-] Type [-] fighters. Seven fighters.

The light bomber brigade is led by Major Novsky of the Soviet Air Force, and Li Haibin is the deputy captain. Since the No.40 Army now has only 3 light bombers, this bomber brigade is just a shell, and it will only wait until the Soviet Union's second The air force that aids China can only become an army after it arrives.

Since the Air Force was first established, Chen Feng's task for the Air Force was to train and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so that he could reuse it.He is eager to implement the great plan he made, as long as the air force is strong. (to be continued...)
