Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1377, Return to the Air Force

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

"Don't move, let me lie down for a while..."

Zhang Yong waved his hand tiredly.

Falling on his back.

Close your eyes. Just want to sleep.

At this moment, the years are quiet.

The Japanese aircraft have withdrawn. There is no threat at the moment.

The river breeze blew and the gunpowder smoke dispersed.

Others were busy cleaning up the mess, but it had nothing to do with him.

A dignified inspector does not need to do those subtle things. He also never mixes with others.

Fallen...

it's over…

Next, there will probably be no more fighting.

The other national troops have already retreated westward. Even if the Japanese invaders crossed the river to pursue them, they would not be able to catch up.

Once the national army runs away, it will be a magical Taibao!

After the Japanese invaders occupied Jinling, they also needed some time to breathe.

The surrounding defenses need to be reinforced.

The periphery of Jinling needs to be cleared.

Among them, including Hangzhou and other places. The Japanese invaders will invade Hangzhou. The fall of Hangzhou…

Confused...

In a trance...

Just fell asleep.

So tired.

Commander Qian is here. But Zhang Yong was not alarmed.

Others were on alert nearby. Avoid making noise as much as possible. Let the Commissioner have a good rest.

They all knew that the Commissioner had been fighting continuously all night.

The fight between the ground and the air just now reached a fever pitch. Even if the Commissioner is made of iron, he still cannot hold on.

a long time…

wake…

Slowly opening my eyes, I found the sky full of colorful clouds.

Oh, the sun sets. Another day has passed.

Sit up.

"Shaolong." Commander Qian came over.

"Commander." Zhang Yong stood up. Rub your face. stand at attention. Try to keep your spirits up.

"The headquarters has ordered the abandonment of Jiangyin Fortress."

"Then what we are going to do next is..."

"The mission entrusted to you is to go to Nanchang and take over the Fifth Air Force."

"Fifth Air Force?"

"Yes. There are eight BA65 fighter jets in total."

"Do I have full command?"

"Yes. Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu are already at Nanchang Airport. They will fully cooperate with you."

"I see."

"Young dragon..."

"Commander. You say."

"There are difficulties in entrusting a seat, alas..."

“…”

Zhang Yong was silent.

Who doesn’t have difficulties? Didn't I?

Of course, it cannot be refuted.

"The first batch of weapons promised by the Soviet Union has arrived in Dihua and will soon arrive in Lanzhou...

"So fast?"

"So, we must retreat. Save our troops."

“…”

Zhang Yong continued to remain silent.

From Chiang Kai-shek's perspective, of course there is no problem.

If all the army is consumed. As the chairman of the committee, he will be taken down immediately.

On the Fruit Party side, this is so realistic.

The military is fundamental.

The military is everything.

Lao Jiang himself was the biggest military leader.

At the critical moment, preserving his strength is his inevitable choice. No surprises.

only…

well…

"The internal relationships within the Army are complicated and there are too many unpredictable factors..."

"I see."

"The Soviet Air Force to aid China has stationed in Hankou. From now on, your main responsibilities should be with the Air Force."

"Hankou? So fast?"

"Actually, before the Battle of Songhu was over, the Soviet Air Force aiding China had already dispatched planes to fight the Japanese invaders over Jinling."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yong was a little surprised.

He didn't know this information. No one told him.

At that time, the Sky Finger map had not yet been upgraded. There is no reminder of the one-hour flight circle.

Unexpectedly, the Soviets were so active.

Some people in later generations said that aid was a loan, but they don't know whether it is true or not.

However, at this juncture, having someone willing to help you is unique and very rare.

Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, on which Chiang Kai-shek had always pinned his hopes, have always been procrastinating and have not taken practical action. Not even willing to mediate.

Their consistent policy of appeasement will ultimately shoot themselves in the foot.

"However, the Soviets had just arrived and were not familiar with many situations, so they were not able to dispatch many times."

"clear."

"They have a very good impression of you. They think you are very talented in shooting down Japanese aircraft. This time, they strongly suggested that you command Nanchang Airport. The committee finally agreed."

"Yeah?"

"You still have to fight for opportunities by yourself! Your record is unmatched by anyone!"

"Excellent."

Zhang Yong politely expressed his modesty.

Unexpectedly, there are so many twists and turns behind the scenes.

It was actually a suggestion from the Soviets!

It seems that I have nothing to do with them. Maybe it really all depends on the record.

Simply speaking, in terms of shooting down Japanese aircraft, perhaps, no one can compare with him.

The problem is...

There are not many planes!

An air force only has eight BA-65 fighter jets.

If we put it in future generations, it would not even be enough for one brigade.

There is a long way to go!

The BA-65 fighter jet has short legs. It is difficult to attack over long distances.

The airport is in Nanchang and can basically only be in a passive defense state. It was to meet the incoming Japanese aircraft.

Can't fly to Shanghai.

Can't fly to Jinling.

In other words, you can only be beaten passively.

In other words, his mission is more to cover Hankou. Cover the main force of the national air force.

If the Japanese aircraft want to bomb from Jinling and Shanghai to Hankou, Nanchang Airport can attack from the flank. Attack or intercept Japanese aircraft.

but!

Zhang Yong soon discovered a new fighter!

Others may only be able to defend passively. but. who is he? He is Zhang Yong! He's free to point to the map!

As long as it is an important target operating within a radius of three to four hundred kilometers, it will be displayed on the air finger map. Then planes can be dispatched to attack.

What does this mean?

This means that the Japanese warships trying to go up the river will be bombed by him.

This means that all kinds of heavy artillery that the Japanese invaders try to advance westward will be bombed by him.

There were also Japanese invaders marching west from Hangzhou, all of them were in the attack ranks.

Before all the fighter planes are lost, he can even prevent the Japanese invaders from advancing half a step westward.

Without the support of heavy weapons, the Japanese invaders' attack would definitely not be so smooth.

so…

Very promising!

After returning to the Air Force, he is confident of improving his record!

However, it is also dangerous!

The Japanese invaders will definitely notice this.

Therefore, they will definitely try their best to eliminate Nanchang Airport.

I only have eight BA-65 fighter jets, how long can I hold on? Hard to say. If you work hard, you will never be able to afford it.

"When can we fly Soviet planes?"

"The Soviet pilots currently coming to China are all organic. They came with the people and the aircraft."

"so…"

"Next month! The first batch of aircraft to assist the Air Force will arrive as soon as next month."

"knew."

Zhang Yong tried to remember.

Hope I can think of some useful information.

Unfortunately, nothing comes to mind. There are not many records about Su Yuan in later generations.

With the disintegration of the Soviet behemoth, much of everything about it has been distorted. Even discredited.

In fact, from 1938 to 1941, the National Army relied entirely on Soviet aid to survive the most difficult years.

What types of aircraft are there in Suyuan?

Jacques?

Il?

pull?

The outside world seems to be really unfamiliar.

In fact, the Soviet Union has always been an aviation power. Even after disintegration.

Of course, after the disintegration, the overall strength will definitely not be comparable to that of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union at that time was a super military power.

"Shaolong, you have another mission when you go to Nanchang."

"Please tell me."

"Inspection of military affairs in Nanchang."

"clear."

Zhang Yong nodded. Didn't pay much attention to it.

Supervise military affairs in Nanchang. Seems like a small thing? Nanchang is a big fart place...

What military affairs need to be inspected?

What kind of army is there?

At most, they are local security corps. Not even a regular army.

"You don't understand..."

"What?"

"New Fourth Army."

"Um?"

Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows.

Oh, forgot. It turns out there is an inside story.

Sure enough, every time Chiang Kai-shek asked him to supervise military affairs, he would always dance in the crater.

"The current headquarters of the New Fourth Army is in Hankou."

"That…"

"The headquarters has made arrangements and will move to Nanchang after the year."

"this…"

"The commission only believes in you. No one else trusts you."

"Well…"

Zhang Yong looked blank.

Just trust me? Are you sure you're not being sarcastic?

Oh, those things you do, someone may not know the inside story. I thought I was really that...

He has a sworn hatred against the Red Party. Naturally, I believe it.

What's more, given my greedy and lustful nature, even if I take the initiative to join the Red Party, others won't want me.

Finished...

You are shooting yourself in the foot!

From now on, if we are in the same place as the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, wouldn't we be able to see each other when we look up but not when we look down?

Everyone is a big shot, and they are watching me, a little newbie.

I guess I have to hide in the airport and don't come out if nothing happens.

"What do I do?"

"It's up to you."

"this…"

"All right!"

Zhang Yong nodded. No more confusion.

Since you let me control it myself. Then I'll take care of it myself.

hey-hey…

"When should I go to Nanchang?" "You decide for yourself."

"I'll go now."

Zhang Yong didn't want to delay. Even if it's just for a minute.

Jinling has fallen. It cannot be changed. There is only a new battlefield.

"I'll arrange for a fast boat to take you there."

"good."

Just leave.

Arrange now.

Two hours later, Zhang Yong boarded the ship.

The Clippers sent him to Jiujiang. Rest there for a while. Keep going. Enter Poyang Lake.

Finally, we went upstream along the Gan River. All the way to Nanchang City.

Seems fast. It actually took two days.

When we arrived in Nanchang, there were only six people around us.

The inseparable Yue Shenzhou five-person group. And Wei Yong.

Wu Jiutian didn't want to come. He wanted to stay near Jinling and continue to destroy the Japanese invaders.

Zhang Yong certainly did not force it. So he was left behind.

Stop the boat. Was stopped by security regiment soldiers. Wei Yong reported his identity.

As a result, a very abrupt and unreasonable scene appeared in the film and television drama.

The soldiers in the security group didn't know him as a commissioner at all.

When the company commander of the security group came, he was also dubious.

Until Zhang Yong emphasized that he was from the Air Force. The other party didn't dare to neglect.

Send someone to deliver the news. But people can't leave.

Finally, Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu came. He also brought the security troops to pick up Zhang Yong.

Get in the car.

silence.

Don't want to talk.

Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu did not dare to disturb him.

Now this Commissioner is becoming more and more famous and has more and more military exploits.

But my temper seems to have gotten louder. I didn't get angry at the security team just now. I felt that I was very tolerant.

Indeed, Zhang Yong wanted to get angry just now. Later I held back.

It is not a Bodhisattva heart.

It's because there aren't enough people around. Can't beat it.

If he brought one or two hundred people with him, he would beat up the entire security team.

Enter the airport.

I found weeds everywhere.

Obviously, this airport is not taken seriously. It belongs to the stepmother.

Except for the BA-65 fighter jet. There are also some biplanes. They are all old Hawker-2 types. It has been eliminated by the times.

get off.

With a sullen face.

Zhang Ping left quietly.

It's not appropriate for him to be there at this time.

Leave it to Yang Lichu. She is a woman. Still his woman.

"Don't be like this..."

Yang Lichu said tentatively. Biting your lip.

She hugged him gently from behind. Give him comfort. He must be exhausted.

From the Songhu battlefield to the defense of Jinling, he has been fighting.

Sure enough, a woman's tenderness can melt everything.

His anxiety gradually calmed down.

Carry her into the bedroom...

Forget about the war for a while...

…

a long time…

Dawn…

…

Wake up contented.

Yang Lichu is no longer around. Only the aroma remains.

Radar maps showed she was already on the runway. There are also many white spots nearby.

Zhang Ping is also there. Maybe a morning lesson for pilots?

get up.

Wash up.

Finished.

Go out.

Sure enough, I saw those pilots.

All are young lads. There were several familiar faces among them. But not marked.

Gao Yuanhang and Chen Shanben are not here. It should be handing over the plane to the Soviets.

No news is good news.

To live is to win.

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

Guards along the way stood at attention and saluted.

Zhang Yong raised his hand in return.

Zhang Ping and Yang Lichu turned around. stand at attention. salute.

Zhang Yong returned the gifts one by one.

Come forward.

Look at those young pilots.

All are rich second generation. Many people also have experience studying abroad.

Pilots need to master a lot of knowledge, and it is impossible to be illiterate. You also need to know a foreign language.

English is the most basic.

Now, with the arrival of Soviet planes, it might be possible to learn Russian.

Zhang Yong checks his plug-in language pack. Oh, there's already Russian. Therefore, the most difficult level is over.

"Hello everyone. My name is Zhang Yong. Inspector of the Military and Political Commission."

"I'm better at shooting down planes."

"Of course, the plane will also fly a little bit. The technology is definitely not as good as everyone else's."

Zhang Yong's simple opening remarks.

These pilots of the National Air Force are actually very simple.

real.

Much simpler than the Army.

They are basically in a closed environment.

Everything outside has almost no impact on them. They spend most of their time living in the airport.

"What I want to tell you now is that we may strike frequently."

"As long as the Japanese invaders' target comes within 300 kilometers, we may have to launch an attack."

"So, our work and rest schedules may be a bit chaotic. I hope everyone gets used to it."

Zhang Yong continued.

It was impossible for him to be beaten passively. They will definitely look for opportunities to take the initiative to start a war.

Unfortunately, Nanchang Airport is relatively far from Jinling and Shanghai. It has exceeded the combat radius of the BA-65 fighter jet.

Meng Yufan sent him a plane before, which was a one-way flight. Not the combat radius.

"I'm done. If you have anything..."

"Say it!"

Zhang Yong looked at a pilot.

The other person raised his hand.

"Commissioner, do we have enough gas?"

"I'll find a way."

"If we don't have enough gasoline, we won't be able to go out at all!"

"There will be gas."

Zhang Yong answered calmly. Arrange delivery immediately.

In fact, Nanchang Airport is pretty good. Not far away is Poyang Lake. Can be shipped.

Boats can also be used on the Ganjiang River. A thousand-ton transport ship cannot move. Five hundred tons is fine.

Send gasoline directly from a 500-ton transport ship.

Gasoline, ammunition, and the system are all provided free of charge.

Say so. However, the pilots still didn't believe it.

"Disband."

Zhang Yong didn't say much.

When the gasoline arrives, I will naturally believe it.

Sure enough, two hours later, the first batch of gasoline was delivered. Five hundred barrels in total.

It takes a little effort to transport it from Ganjiang pier to the airport. Fortunately the route is not too long. Ordinary carriages and carts can be completed.

What?

car?

This is rare.

Not even that.

Then came ammunition.

Including 200 kilograms of aerial bombs and 7.7mm Breda machine gun bullets.

With the arrival of Zhang Yong, the airport began to operate at high speed.

A large number of local civilian workers were recruited and repairs to the airport began.

At the same time, the road from the airport to the terminal will be expanded.

The cement given by the system finally came in handy. Arrange shipping directly.

Used to build oil depots. Build a runway. There are also bunkers. There are also air raid shelters.

One word is cultivation!

build!

establish!

Construction day and night!

Zhang Yong waved a large amount of legal currency and distributed money directly.

Come to work. Settlement on the same day!

Therefore, the enthusiasm of local people is very high.

In just three days, the airport has undergone major changes.

The runway is solidified...

The runway was extended…

Mainly to facilitate landing.

Especially a plane with possible injuries. A long runway is needed.

At the same time, a rescue team was also formed.

The plane came back injured and needed rescue.

The airport was bombed and needed rescue.

Day four…

Day 10…

The empty finger maps are very quiet.

The Japanese invaders should be digesting the results of conquering Jinling. Adjust deployment at the same time.

Therefore, the Japanese aircraft did not dispatch remotely.

Anyway, there is no prompt for the one-hour flight circle.

So he was busy with various constructions. A large amount of cement was dropped.

Stock up on fuel, stock up on ammunition...

The pilots are busy training. Being fed well by oil.

The end of the month.

Notice received. Hangzhou fell. The Japanese invaders occupied Hangzhou.

Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport has long been abandoned. The National Air Force did not suffer any losses. However, if the airport is occupied by the Japanese invaders, it will definitely be used by the Japanese invaders.

With the fall of Shanghai, Jinling, Hangzhou and other places one after another, the Japanese army aviation will definitely be stationed in large numbers.

The Japanese Army Air Forces had many fighter jets, some of which were more difficult to deal with.

The key is that the Japanese invaders have a strong ability to replenish aircraft.

Even if the frontline suffers losses, the rear can quickly replenish the battle losses.

But it is difficult for the National Air Force.

For the time being, Zhang Yong does not know how quickly the Soviet Union’s aircraft aiding China will be replenished.

Since arriving at Nanchang Airport, he has rarely received information from the outside world. It seems to be isolated from the world. He also never left the airport.

New Year…

January 1, 1938…

The Japanese plane finally arrived.

The air traffic control map indicated that it took off from Taiwan Songshan Airport.

Check.

It was found that they were all Type 96 land-based bombers. Affiliated to the Japanese Navy Red Deer.

They flew straight towards Nanchang Airport.
