When the two Spitfires were still more than ten kilometers away from the Allied Legion at the Brighton military base, Warrant Officer Al Dill flew the trainer aircraft carrying Major White to greet them, then turned the nose of the plane, and the three The plane filled with smoke flew towards Brighton Airport together.
In order to achieve the best publicity effect for this successful rescue, the Air Force arranged for Warrant Officer Al Dill to take White off again, and then the three planes came back together to publicize the heroic and victorious rescue of the British Empire and the Allied Forces to the world. Come and encourage every Allied soldier who is fighting and let them know that the Allies will not leave anyone behind.
Zhou Zhihan knew that there was an element of acting here, but in this moment of crisis, such justice propaganda should not be condemned.
In fact, this rescue operation was successful and there was no falsehood.
When the three planes flew over Brighton Airport, the A214 Spitfire had already felt the enthusiasm from the ground. Zhou Zhihan saw at a glance a blue sky and white sun flag flying on the flagpole at the gate of the Allied Legion, a patriotic wave. Enthusiasm instantly blurred his eyes.
He came here to gain more say and initiative for his weak motherland, hoping to open the closed Burma Highway as soon as possible.
Seeing this scene at this moment, how could he not shed tears? He traveled across the ocean to fight in a foreign country, just to let the world see and know the Chinese people's strong and indomitable will to resist the war.
The raising of this flag with a blue sky and a white sun shows that through the unremitting efforts of all parties, the relationship between China and Britain has been rapidly improved and the ice has been broken, and the historic moment of opening the Burma Highway is coming.
The sooner the Yunnan-Burma Highway is opened, the sooner it will bring greater confidence to the domestic anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. For this reason, Zhou Zhihan decided to fight harder, even if the battlefield is stained with blood, he will not hesitate.
General Hugh Dowding, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force, learned from Lieutenant Johnson Allen and Major White, who came back first, that Zhou Zhihan played a key role in this heroic rescue operation, so General Hugh Dowding Immediately report to the War Cabinet and recommend that this brave Chinese be awarded the highest honor.
When Churchill heard that the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force had single-handedly shot down 15 enemy planes in a battle, the entire cabinet was shocked and excited.
Shooting down 15 enemy planes in one fell swoop, is this God blessing the British Empire?
15 enemy aircraft.
If you want to shoot down 15 enemy planes, you have to dispatch at least one wing of fighters at once, which may not be possible.
The cabinet also believes that at this time of crisis, people from all righteous countries in the world should unite to fight against evil enemies.
Therefore, the Cabinet and the Royal Air Force unanimously decided that in order to commend the Chief Instructor of the Chinese Air Force for his successive contributions to the righteous countries of the world, when welcoming his triumphant return today, a blue sky and white sun flag would be raised at the airport as an encouragement and praise.
China and Britain are gradually beginning to repair relations. The newly arrived staff of the Embassy in the UK brought their families to the airport, and some overseas Chinese also came here. They wanted to witness with their own eyes what could make the blue sky and white sun flag rise in the UK. Chinese hero.
Warrant Officer Al Dill landed the Texan first. Officials came up to greet him, several medical staff went up to greet Major White, and reporters took photos.
Then Lieutenant Johnson Allen piloted the N37 Spitfire to a smooth landing. He shot down two enemy planes? The Air Force Headquarters had already known about it from Warrant Officer Al Dill and Major White. Several beautiful military girls had already fallen for him. Prepare a beautiful garland and a red ribbon hanging diagonally on his chest. The ribbon is embroidered with the word ace, which means that he is an ace pilot.
Lieutenant Johnson Allen, with a smile on his face, stood with the officials and accepted photos and interviews from reporters.
Finally, the A214 Spitfire hovering in the air landed steadily at the airport. There was overwhelming applause from all around. The Chinese Embassy and overseas Chinese community waved the blue sky and white sun flag in their hands, and everyone welcomed the Allied Legion General from China. Command, Colonel Zhou Zhihan returns in triumph.
The Royal Air Force specially arranged for Zhou Zhihan to stand in front of his A214 Spitfire and accept interviews from reporters from consular countries around the world.
The A214 Spitfire fuselage was covered with gunpowder smoke, the tail had broken navigation lights and cracked skin, as well as multiple shrapnel scratches on the fuselage, indicating how fierce the battle was.
Fias Christelle put a beautiful garland on her co-star's head and posed for photos in front of him.
Reporters flocked to take photos. This is tomorrow's gossip. Handsome men and beautiful women have been an endless topic since ancient times.
The faces of the staff of the Chinese Embassy are filled with pride and pride. China's blue sky and white sun flag is flying over the bases of the allies. This is a victory for the Chinese people, a victory for the British people, and a victory for the righteous people of the world.
When Zhou Zhihan got off the plane, the crew drew a record on the tail of his plane.
"Oh my God!" Major General Parker shook his head and exclaimed, "It would be a miracle if 15 of them were shot down. I didn't expect it to be 17."
Reporters from various countries used the 26 iron crosses on the tail of the A214 Spitfire to represent the victory and the 3 large iron crosses to represent the ace shot down as the background of Zhou Zhihan, and took photos for tomorrow's front page.
"Hello, Commander-in-Chief Zhou! I am the editor-in-chief of The Times. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask the question first." A female reporter first asked, "You represented China in the battle between the allies and the enemy and achieved brilliant results. What can you say? How do you feel inside at this time?"
"It is my honor to work with all righteous countries to resist evil!" Zhou Zhihan was very official. He did not take the opportunity to mention the opening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway. It was not appropriate at this time.
"You shot down 17 enemy planes in one sortie. Commander Zhou, do you have any secret to your success? Can you tell me your trump card?"
"Commander Zhou, can you tell me about your air combat skills? You have created a record that is unprecedented and difficult to come by. Can you tell me how you feel at this moment?"
"Commander Zhou, I heard that you shot down more than a hundred Japanese fighter planes during the Chinese Anti-Japanese War. Please tell me how you did it?"
"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, as a Chinese, how do you feel when you see the blue sky and white sun flag flying over the Allied Legion base?"
"..."
After more than an hour of interviews and taking photos, Zhou Zhihan felt more tired than a day of flying drones. Even so, the reporters still didn't want to let him go.
Major White stepped forward to the rescue in time: "Hey, gentlemen and ladies, I was sitting in the back cabin of the Texan code-named "Go Home" and saw with my own eyes all the process of Colonel Zhou shooting down the enemy plane. I knew it better than the colonel himself. More details..."
After hearing this, the reporters surrounded Major White. They also saw that they could not dig out much explosive news from the commander-in-chief. It was better to dig out some more information about the commander-in-chief's shooting down of the enemy plane from the rescued major. wonderful moments.
There are even more reporters who have good intentions, surrounding Second Lieutenant Fias Christelle, making insinuations, hoping to get the commander-in-chief's daily private life and tidbits.
"...He doesn't have a girlfriend? How is that possible? He is so handsome and handsome..."
"Is his girlfriend very beautiful? No? Impossible...just kidding...you must have been the first to get there, Captain Chris Taylor..."
"..."
Reporters always like to pursue and fight fiercely. In the end, Fias Christelle could only say that she was involved in military affairs and then ran away.
After the celebration, Zhou Zhihan had breakfast and rested for a while. General Hugh Dowding sent a special plane to take him to the Air Force headquarters in the monastery. An urgent and important military meeting was held at noon, attended by members of the war cabinet.
