But who could it be that this big-headed person is not Li Yunlong?
In the words of Li Yunlong.
"What has our old man Li never done in his life? He charged with a machine gun and braved the enemy's firepower to attack. Under a hail of bullets, there were not ten but eight bullets that grazed our old man's scalp.
We, Mr. Li, have played with rifles, machine guns and cannons.
The only thing I have never done is flying a plane to fight.
If I don't do this happily once, I will regret it for the rest of my life! "
so……
Needless to say, Li Yunlong rushed over when he learned that Kong Jie had temporarily adjusted his plan and was preparing to arrange for aviation troops to take advantage of the night attack on the Japanese military airport in Shanghai.
Of course.
Li Yunlong has learned to be smart now. Before taking action, he made a special application to the deputy chief of staff. The specific application content was written by Zhao Gang. The writing was full of emotion, reasonable and touching.
It is not clear whether the Deputy Chief of General Staff finally agreed to Li Yunlong's application.
Anyway, that afternoon, Li Yunlong rushed to Changning Airport outside Licheng, and then took a reconnaissance plane to the first team aviation base.
Then he followed Major Davis and his party and set off in the bomber.
Along the way, Li Yunlong also thought about delivering some radio stations and supplies to the old leaders in the Jiaodong base area along the way through airdrops.
When Li Yunlong took a reconnaissance plane and rushed back to the airport of the first team.
The Licheng air battle followed the Eighth Route Army Air Force fighter jets entering the Licheng airspace, and the Japanese bomber force suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Eighth Route Army air defense force.
The two-day air battle in Licheng came to an end.
A large-scale ground-to-air confrontation finally ended.
People from surrounding base areas and troops participating in the review invited by the Eighth Route Army arrived one after another and began to arrange the review venue. Air defense firepower points inside and outside the city ceased fire one after another, and began to comprehensively put out the fire. They surveyed the air raid site, eliminated unexploded aerial bombs, and the air defense troops moved their positions. Busy.
What to do after all this work?
——Reconvene the Eighth Route Army military parade!
As for the so-called military parade scheduled for August 1st, it was just to lure the Japanese air force to attack and to act as a trap to attack the Japanese flying troops.
The Eighth Route Army General Headquarters.
The deputy general manager and the chief of general staff accompanied representatives from all parties to inspect the situation of various troops in the city and express condolences to the combat troops.
In the eyes of the soldiers, the combat troops at this time were the heroic troops that faced the Japanese Air Force in Licheng.
The representatives of the Allied forces were even more excited. Watching the wonderful ground-to-air combat in Licheng, they were so excited and shocked.
Now that they were able to contact the elite air defense force of the Eighth Route Army in Licheng, these representatives were very excited. They took photos with the anti-aircraft artillery unit, the wreckage of the fallen Japanese plane, and the captured Japanese pilots.
The representatives of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army had different expressions.
Some are shocked, some are excited, and some are gloomy.
The air force has always been the most confident weapon for the Chinese army to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
But in the battle of Licheng, the Eighth Route Army's air defense force was so powerful that it was simply eye-catching.
Now that the Eighth Route Army has the means to restrain the Air Force, it may not be able to restrain the Eighth Route Army through the aviation force in the future.
Of course, most of them are full of joy.
Probably because the Eighth Route Army has an armored force, it can resell fuel and equipment. Now that the Eighth Route Army has an aviation force, can the aviation supplies stored in the warehouse be sold at a good price?
Anyway, the pilots themselves don’t fly those classic planes. Instead of destroying them, they might as well resell them to the Eighth Route Army. Then the Japanese will report the losses through air raids, and the money will go into their pockets?
There are many officers from the Jinsui Army and the Central Army who are complacent planners.
Among them, the most typical representative is Commander Tang, who has a smile on his face and looks a bit potbellied due to his generous life.
And actually.
These Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army officers and representatives of allied parties saw only part of the Eighth Route Army's air defense forces deployed in Licheng.
The air defense equipment they saw was only what Kong Jie wanted them to see.
For example, a team specially built the reconnaissance core of air combat - the electronic detection and air search radar unit, and the fire control radar unit.
Naturally, the Eighth Route Army could not expose these new types of anti-air combat troops, so they were transferred in advance. By the time the Allied forces arrived, the corresponding equipment had long since disappeared.
Then we visited the new Soviet-made anti-aircraft gun. During the introduction, Kong Jie specially cooperated with the Soviet representatives and told the US military representatives that this was a new model of anti-aircraft gun for foreign trade of the US military. The instructions and nameplate were all in English!
Why?
The Soviet army is still in a neutral stage with the Japanese army, and they do not want the Japanese army to know that they sold equipment to support the Eighth Route Army.
Kong Jie's handling of the matter naturally received heartfelt gratitude from the Soviet representatives.
After the venue was set up, the real military parade ceremony held by the Eighth Route Army in Licheng came next.
As the audience gathered on the high platform, the military parade officially started under the order of the deputy commander-in-chief.
The first group to enter the scene was the commander's unit with full Japanese equipment.
Commander Tang was very surprised when he saw this scene. He asked the deputy chief of staff, "Why is this first unit to be inspected wearing Japanese skins?"
The deputy commander said: "This Japanese skin belongs to the invaders. This reminds us all the time that if we don't work hard, history will repeat itself again."
As a reminder, Chinese people should strengthen themselves! To strengthen the country, we must first strengthen the army! "
After hearing these words, Commander Tang couldn't help but sigh: "When I fought the bloody battle with the Japanese at the Nankou Battle, if I had friendly forces like you, it might have been a different ending.
Damn it, save your strength, everyone is watching me fight to the death.
Now I can see it clearly. No matter how those little people throw dirty water on me, I only want to protect my team and the people under my jurisdiction. It is enough to shoulder the burden and responsibility on my shoulders. "
The deputy general staff officer said: "Commander Tang Gao Yi!
This past thing is past.
Now we can also cooperate in central Henan!
When we need help from our Eighth Route Army, whether it’s supplies or combat, as long as we can contribute to the war of resistance, we will never refuse! "
After hearing this, Commander Tang smiled happily again.
This was what he was waiting for.
Commander Tang has done a lot of immoral things in the past two years in order to support the First War Zone.
On one side is drought, and the people are miserable.
On the other hand, there is a huge cost of hundreds of thousands of troops. If it is not done well, it is like a powder keg that will explode at one moment.
——Water, drought, soup, and locusts, these are the four major disasters that are spread word of mouth among the people in central Henan.
Commander Tang can be ranked among the four major disasters by one person.
He can also be considered a "hero".
It is estimated that Commander Tang did too many immoral things in Henan in order to support the troops and make some money.
But Commander Tang also has his own difficulties!
Commander Tang complained privately to Kong Jie that the national government could not send out sufficient supplies and military pay at all. If the Eighth Route Army could receive some of the victims, resell the supplies, exchange some food for military rations, and then secretly enter into an aid agreement with the Eighth Route Army .
That couldn't be better.
Commander Tang made a small calculation.
Today, the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger day by day, and even the unprecedented May Day raids launched by the Japanese were completely defeated.
As for Central Henan, if the Japs launch a large-scale attack, as long as he can establish a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army in advance, at worst he can retreat to the territory of the Eighth Route Army and continue to hold on, waiting for the situation to change.
At this time, the military parade continued to come.
The teacher stood on the city gate and waved, with a smile on his face: "Here we come, our most elite troops in the Taihang area are here."
As everyone can see:
An Iron Triangle field force wearing new summer military uniforms and fully armed helmeted soldiers came forward proudly.
How could someone be so invincible with such momentum?
"Sir Yan, please give me some comments. I wonder how our team is training?"
"Okay, okay, okay! They are all mighty masters who can fight against Japanese enemies!"
The old fox Commander Tang had a smile on his face and was just flattering.
Anyway, he made up his mind to have a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army no matter what.
Then came the troops from the 385th and 386th ace field brigades of the 129th Division. They wore ordinary Eighth Route Army uniforms, but also wore steel helmets, marching boots, and field backpacks, and walked through the venue with murderous intent.
Behind them were the newly formed brigades and the main regiments of each military division passing by.
Finally, there are the guard battalions of Yan Laoxi and Commander Tang.
The finale features mechanized artillery, armored units, and heavy artillery units.
Especially when the heavy-duty tractor pulled the Type 96 150mm improved howitzer unit on the scene, it even attracted a cry of exclamation.
Then, after using their superior speed to get rid of the Japanese fighter jets, the returning fighter formation flew over the venue in a five-pointed star formation at low altitude just before dark.
The atmosphere at the venue was pushed to its peak.
There was only one slogan in the audience.
"Destroy the Japanese invaders and restore the mountains and rivers!"
In the evening, a banquet for thousands of families was organized by the Eighth Route Army.
All the people and troops who came to participate in the meeting held a celebration banquet along the street and ate hero meals.
Yan Laoxi, Commander Tang and the other officers didn't put on any airs. They rushed to a team to have a meal and blended in. It was so lively.
The Allied representatives even went to a team early.
——Waiting for dinner!
They have long heard that this is the place that cooks the best food among the combat troops in the entire North China region.
Many Eighth Route Army commanders were already sitting there, ready to drink.
Er Chen waved his arms and directed Lao Wang, Lao Kong and Lao Ding to arrange the serving of wine and food.
Lao Yang, Lao Pi, Lao Zhou, and Lao Chen had already started pouring wine and started fighting with Lao Zhang, Lao Yang and others who came on behalf of the 129th Division and the 120th Division.
Judging by wine!
As the host, Kong Jie waved his hand and said boldly: "You can have enough food and wine, everyone just eat and drink. My team will pay for all the expenses!"
It's very hot here.
On the other side, Li Yunlong was sitting in Davis's Dragon Bomber, following the Japanese Air Force flying to Shanghai.
This old Li first went through the reconnaissance plane and then flew at high altitude in the bomber. Except for his legs being a little weak for the first time in the sky, he didn't get airsick. He was excited to look at the ground with a telescope on the plane, but it was dark, basically nothing Not visible either.
This made Li Yunlong couldn't help but mutter: Damn it, sitting on the plane is not as enjoyable as we Lao Li thought!
Davis asked: "Dear Commander Li, looking at the route of the Japanese air force, it should fly to Jinan, Shandong, and then fly back to Shanghai along the Jinpu line. What if someone calls us through the radio after the Japanese formations gradually converge? manage?"
Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and immediately replied: "Don't panic! This time, the little devils, all the flight formations from Central China, North China, and East China have gone to Licheng to fight.
The systems were in chaos, and the Japanese probably couldn't tell who was who.
We can disguise the disrupted flying team so that the Japanese can't see clearly after dark.
If anyone asks us, just ask the Japanese translator to scold Okamura vigorously. If you ask again, just scold Okamura directly. If you continue to give me nonsense, let Commander Okamura invite you to the Eighth Route Army prisoner of war camp tomorrow!
Just do it, it will definitely work! "
In order not to be left behind by Lao Kong, Li Yunlong, who has been studying hard, also learned some Japanese.
Lao Li listened for a long time in the Japanese communication formation. These bomber formations, which were chased by Eighth Route Army fighter jets, had been completely disrupted and everyone was in shock. They were all called by the airports along the way and gradually converged towards the Shandong area. Searchlights were turned on at all the strongholds along the Jinpu Line to guide the air fleet back to Shanghai.
Both the Navy and the Army Air Force are sending greetings to the eighth generation of Okamura's ancestors.
Let’s just continue scolding and that’s it!
In the end, the flight lasted almost four hours. Fortunately, one team specially modified the Japanese fuel tank to have a larger fuel capacity and stronger endurance.
For this bombing of the Japanese military airport in Shanghai, as long as the round trip goes smoothly, there will be enough fuel.
About to arrive in Shanghai.
According to the plan, the aviation force was divided into three formations and simultaneously conducted air attacks on the Japanese Jiangwan, Longhua, and Hongqiao airports.
The dive bombers first dropped flares and then carried out dive bombs to attack the indicated targets. Then the long-range bombers lowered their altitude, dropped all the bombs at once, passed through the urban area and dropped leaflets, and then flew to the west of Shanghai.
At that time, the New Fourth Army troops gave them campfire instructions. After the formations merged, they turned back and gained altitude on the Yangtze River as planned before flying to the Jiaodong Peninsula.
When Li Yunlong was about to arrive in downtown SH, he said to Davis, "I heard that the lights in your country's east coast cities are very prosperous at night. There are basically no lights at night when we come here. Isn't it very desolate?"
Davis said: "Commander Li, I have never been to China before and I don't know the situation here. It is basically dark at night and it is indeed very desolate.
But I believe you can build your own country. "
Li Yunlong said: "Haha, that's for sure.
At that time, please come and fly night routes and see a different night. "
Li Yunlong said, and then asked the accompanying reporter Xiao Song: "I said Xiao Song, can you have some potential?
Are you feeling better from airsickness?
Get ready to pick up your night camera and film the air raid on Shanghai. Later you will record my order to drop bombs, and also record the night fireworks. "
Reporter Xiao Song resisted the nausea reaction and nodded in agreement.
Li Yunlong asked Davis again, "How to use this scope and how to calculate the impact point?"
Davis talked a lot of jargon, but seeing that Li Yunlong couldn't understand, he put it in simple terms: "First look at the target of the dive bomber's incendiary bomb in front, then zoom in through the sight and calculate the distance between the target and us, and then calculate it based on the altitude. By determining the approximate location of the free-falling bomb and finally choosing the place to throw it, it can hit the target relatively accurately.”
Li Yunlong asked: "Then the altitude of 1,000 meters is low enough for us to drop bombs?"
Davis smiled and said: "Be bold, we will drop bombs at a low altitude of 500 meters!
Didn’t the Japanese guide us to land?
We dropped the bombs on the Japanese as a surprise! "
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Let me press the bomb button with my own hands later. What is the bomb command?"
Bombardier George: "Heading calibration runway direction."
Navigator Noken: "Course calibration completed."
Bombardier George: "The bomb is dropped at a height of 500 meters."
Navigator: "Altitude confirmed 500 meters."
Bombardier George: "Open the magazine."
Mechanic Wood: "The magazine is opened and the indicator light is in place."
Bombardier George: "Aimer ready to drop bombs."
Aimer Wolf: "Drop the bomb in 20 seconds, start counting now, 20, 19, 18...1"
Aimer George: "Start dropping bombs!"
Bombardier George: "First group released; second group released; bombing over."
Mechanic: "All bombs in the magazine have been released; the magazine is closed normally and the indicator light is in place."
Li Yunlong: "..."
Is the process so complicated? ? ?
