Mao Bangchu saw Zhou Zhihan's worries and said: "For the moment, you are the most suitable for the position of chief instructor of the Air Force.
American technical advisers may leave China because of the war. Even if they stay in China, they will only serve as technical advisers.
You came back from studying in the United States, you are both good in character and academics, and you are the proud disciple of the president of the Randolph Air Force Academy. Yesterday and today, you made great achievements in battle. Everyone admires you, so no matter in every aspect, you are a great student. Suitable for the position of Chief Instructor of the Air Force. "
Hearing what Mao Bangchu said, Zhou Zhihan gave up all his worries. He could see that Mao Bangchu really treated him as a disciple and took everything into consideration for him.
"By the way, Zhihan," Mao Bangchu said, "from the Chinese Air Force No. 214, your landline number will be yours. This is a decision made by our Air Force Headquarters after research, and it is also a reward and recognition for your outstanding performance in the past two days.
As the chief instructor, you will no longer go to the front line. The fighter you pilot will be assigned to other pilots, but the plane number 214 will always belong to you! "
"Teacher!" Zhou Zhihan was a little anxious when he heard that he would no longer be allowed to fly to the front line. Since he has traveled to this era, a good man should kill enemies for the country. "Chief instructor, I will do it first. I want to ask you, if there is any major This is a top-secret flight mission, please think of me first."
Mao Bangchu smiled: "The reason why the principal insists on letting you be the chief instructor is because you have superb flying skills and have learned advanced tactics and flight concepts in the West, so you can bring better techniques and tactics to the new students of our Air Force. Of course, if there is a task that others cannot perform, then of course you have to do it yourself. We use good steel on the blade, so that you, the chief instructor, can not only give full play to your strengths, but also protect you, when it is necessary to launch a fatal blow to the enemy That's when you play the leading role."
Zhou Zhihan had nothing to say to Mao Bangchu's explanation. He was patriotic when he taught at the aviation school. He could not save China by himself, nor could he shoot down all the Japanese fighter planes. If he wanted to save China, he would have to fly alone. It's not possible to reach the blue sky. Only the concerted efforts of thousands of passionate men can build the indestructible Great Wall.
At night, the lights in the war room were bright, but no light could be seen from outside. The entire Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport fell into endless darkness.
The combatants were deliberating in detail about various combat plans for tomorrow. Mao Bang did not rest for the first few days, and his eyes were red, but he was still in good spirits. The victory during the day made him no longer sleepy. Together with all the combatants, he planned how to cooperate with the army and the army tomorrow. Navy attacks Japanese defenses.
According to relevant intelligence, Japanese reinforcements will arrive at Hangzhou Bay in the next two days, so the headquarters ordered that the offensive forces in Shanghai should completely annihilate the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai within the next two days.
Just outside the war room, on the playground, in the darkness, Zhou Zhihan was chatting with all the new rookies.
Zhou Zhihan lit a cigarette by himself and sat cross-legged on the ground. Rookies gathered around him. Those who know how to smoke can smoke boldly. No problem. The eyes of Japanese pilots have not yet been trained to see people smoking a few kilometers away at night. realm.
Compared with the army and navy, the air force's treatment is very good. Each pilot has a pack of cigarettes every day, not to mention the food. They have meat for every meal, and they can eat as much as they can.
Zhou Zhihan looked around at the rookies: "You must have seen the air battle that took place over our Jianqiao base today. Why do you think our air force has achieved such a great record?"
Seeing that the rookies were afraid to speak, Zhou Zhihan smiled: "Speak freely and say whatever you want. We are chatting now, so you can say it boldly!"
"I think the Japanese pilots' abilities are only average. Being beaten 18 to 0 by us speaks for itself."
"I think the main reason is that our pilots are so skilled that they beat the Japanese pilots so hard that they couldn't pick up their hats."
"Japanese pilots are not good..."
"..."
"..."
The newbies responded one after another.
Zhou Zhihan asked: "Do you know where these Japanese fighter planes came from?"
The rookies shook their heads.
"The Japanese air force takes off from the Taiwan airport. It is about 700 kilometers from Taiwan to Hangzhou Jianqiao. The Type 98 naval attack carries bombs for a long distance and can only maintain a speed of 230 kilometers. In other words, the Japanese air force takes off from the Taiwan airport. It takes at least three and a half hours to fly to Jianqiao Airport, which consumes a lot of their energy.
More importantly, the Type 98 naval attack force is a bomber with poor air defense capabilities. Their bloated body is not suitable for air combat, so they were beaten 18 to 0 by us. "
When the chief instructor said this, all the rookies stopped talking!
"When the Japanese Type 98 Ship Attack flew from Taiwan to the Jianqiao Airport, the Type 95 Ship Attack and Type 96 Ship Fighter that took off from the [Ryuxiang] aircraft carrier stationed around Shanghai failed to arrive in time for some reason. The sky above Jianqiao Airport was escorting the Type 98 naval attack force, so the Type 98 naval attack force became a target for our air force. It was normal for 18 of them to be shot down."
The rookies were silent.
"Do you know how long it takes for the Japanese army to train an aviation soldier?"
The rookies shook their heads.
“It takes three years for Japan to train an aviation force.
So don’t think that the flying skills of the Japanese aviation force are average. On the contrary, the Japanese aviation force is very skilled. They have many ace pilots. These ace pilots have thousands of hours of flying time, which is far more than that of most pilots in our country. time. "
The rookies looked at each other in confusion. What the chief instructor said had never been said to them before.
“But, you don’t have to worry.
Although the Japanese pilots were highly skilled, I knew their weaknesses and I knew how to defeat them.
From now on, as long as you learn what I teach you well, we will be able to overtake in corners and kill those so-called ace pilots of the Japanese army.
Think about it, if you kill the Japanese ace pilot in the future, what a glorious thing it will be. "
After saying this, all the rookies began to look forward to it. They imagined that one day they would be promoted and return to their hometown with glory, flowers blooming, and applause and cheers.
Zhou Zhihan paused for a moment. The newbies now may not know what overtaking in a corner means, so he added: "As long as you learn what I teach you thoroughly, you will be able to take shortcuts and surpass the juniors in skills." Devil."
The rookies had just been given a slap in the face by the chief instructor, and they had put away their contempt for the Japanese. They felt a little depressed. Now that they heard that they could take shortcuts to defeat the Japanese, they suddenly became energetic again.
Zhou Zhihan poured cold water on the rookies and then continued to lecture.
"Today, the Chinese Air Force has achieved great results, which is inseparable from their usual hard training. If you want to fly freely in the sky like them, kill the enemy and serve the country, and then return home in glory, you must withstand my devil style training.
I also have to tell you that it is not that the Japanese pilots are incompetent, but that they suffered from the right time, place and people.
You must hone your skills until you are as good as the pilots who came before you.
Remember, remember, you must not despise Japanese pilots. Whoever dares to despise Japanese pilots may pay the price with their lives!
Tonight, what I say to you must be remembered.
Japanese pilots are far better than you think! "
In the darkness, the rookies looked at the serious chief instructor in front of them with eyes like stars, and silently remembered his words.
"Starting tomorrow morning, I will give you a month of devilish physical training. I will make you so tired every day that you doubt your life.
During this period, those who couldn't hold on would immediately go back and forth from my team. Those who could hold on, we would get on the plane and fly! "
Zhou Zhihan said this with a cold tone, which made the young rookies shudder inwardly.
