"Get up so early?"
Lu Jichun got up at six o'clock to exercise, but to his surprise, Li Hang had already started running on the airport runway. He ran over and said hello.
"It turns out to be the captain. I'm used to getting up early, so I go for a run whenever I have nothing to do." Li Hang replied with a smile.
This is actually a habit he developed in the army of later generations. Even if the army here does not have this habit, he still wants to go out for a run and exercise.
Although pilots do not need real swords and guns to fight hand-to-hand with little devils, in air combat, good physical fitness is also very important.
It is said that the body is the capital of revolution. If the body is not strong enough, how can we protect our country?
"I see you running like this all the time." Lu Jichun was a little surprised.
In fact, he didn't say it clearly, but Li Hang's habits and running posture were obviously trained.
Even though the top brass of the Aeronautical Commission directly gave Li Hang the identity of a second lieutenant pilot of the 23rd Squadron for political achievements, Li Guidan, Lu Jichun and others knew Li Hang's identity, which was still a bit suspicious.
He may not be a spy from the Japanese army, but I'm afraid he's not an ordinary overseas Chinese either.
There are many overseas Chinese pilots in the Air Force. There are many overseas Chinese pilots in the Fifth Group, like Chen Ruitian, who has a foreign face. This man is of mixed race, his mother is Peruvian, so he looks a bit like a white man.
But the daily habits of these overseas Chinese pilots are not as regular as Li Hang, who clearly has a military aura about him.
To be honest, if it weren't for flying such a new Japanese fighter plane and some things in Nanjing, many people might think that Li Hang was really a Japanese spy.
One of the Japanese's most advanced fighter planes flew out of an airport that easily slipped into the control of the Japanese army.
He is very familiar with the Japanese fighter planes and can easily defeat one against six.
The key to this is a strong military aura.
Unless overseas Chinese return home to join the army, even if the overseas Chinese know how to fly a plane, they went to aviation schools to learn it. I have never heard of anyone joining a foreign army.
Therefore, Lu Jichun's doubts were not completely dispelled.
"I'm used to it. A pilot must be in good health. How can he fight the Japanese if he's not in good health?" Li Hang knew that these people had not given up their doubts about him, but he didn't care.
There are plenty of opportunities to prove yourself, as long as you can get yourself to heaven again.
It's flying a plane to the sky, not being beaten to the sky.
"You're right. It seems that I have to strengthen the physical training of other people in the team. It can't just be training during the day." Lu Jichun nodded, didn't say any more, and started running with Li Hang.
During this period, some pilots such as Liang Tiancheng were also running.
The Soviet pilots of the Chinese Air Force were also doing morning exercises.
At this time, Lao Maozi's military discipline was not bad. In addition, they were on the front line of combat, so their discipline was still very good.
Although they are still hundreds of kilometers away from where the Japanese troops are pointing, the air force is different from the army.
For the Army, this distance is already the rear area, but for the Air Force, it is actually the front line.
Not to mention, no matter what era, the food for air force pilots is really good.
Not to mention future generations, in these 37 years, compared with the army's food, the former was like heaven, while the latter was not even worthy of the earth.
Even at the airport, pilots, ground staff and soldiers on duty have different meals.
In addition to the common porridge, steamed buns, and steamed buns, pilots' breakfast meals also include milk, bread, coffee, black tea, chicken, beef, fried peanuts, eggs, and fried dough sticks, which can be said to be rich in variety.
The ground staff were much worse, with only porridge, steamed buns and pickles; the soldiers on duty were even worse, otherwise Chen Yang and the two would not have been so greedy for Li Hang's food.
Li Hang didn't say much about this gap, and he didn't think about changing it, because in later generations, there would be obvious differences.
Even more so in this day and age.
Because although pilots receive the highest salary in the military and eat the best food in the military, they are engaged in the most dangerous combat missions in the military, and the average age of sacrifice is less than 23 years old.
"I heard that you gave the food to the soldiers on duty before?" Lu Jichun asked Li Hang while eating breakfast.
Li Hang looked at the other party in surprise, wondering how the other party knew.
"It's best not to do this kind of thing again. It's not good for you or them. You are a pilot and need adequate nutritional support because you are fighting on the front line; they are on duty at the airport. Although they have average food, they don't What danger?" Lu Jichun reminded.
"My freedom was restricted at that time. It was useless to eat so well. Just be careful in the future." Li Hang explained and did not confront the other party on this matter.
"Li Hang, can you fly that Japanese aircraft to practice against us? We will encounter them frequently in the future, and we want to practice more so as not to know how to deal with it." A pilot from the 23rd Squadron couldn't help but ask .
"No problem, as long as the captain agrees." Li Hang asked the question to Lu Jichun.
"Captain, I think we still need to practice it in practice, not just talking." The pilot immediately looked at Lu Jichun.
It's very simple. Whether Li Hang's current identity can fly the Type 96 carrier-based fighter during non-war times depends on Lu Jichun's consent.
"this..."
Just before Lu Jichun finished speaking, the air defense siren at the airport suddenly sounded, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
"Enemy attack, Japanese planes are coming!"
Hearing the siren, Lu Jichun stood up quickly and looked at Li Hang in disbelief, because the latter really guessed it right, the Japanese army was really coming.
"Brothers, remember to swoop and escape if you can't defeat the Japanese new fighter planes, or deal with the Japanese bombers and leave the fighter planes to me and others." Li Hang immediately warned everyone.
"Let's get on the plane!"
Lu Jichun immediately gave an order.
When the six of them ran outside quickly, the Soviet pilots in the canteen also reacted very quickly.
Some people haven't finished eating yet, so they just grab a cup of coffee or a piece of beef and leave.
As the air defense siren sounded, the entire Hankou Airport became busy.
The pilots ran towards the plane, while the ground crew and watch personnel were busy with their own affairs, including preventing the Japanese from bombing the airport.
"Captain, we need to inform the pilots at Xiaogan that if the Japanese army attacks, our aircraft at Hankou Airport may not be able to deal with it."
There are only a dozen fighter planes at Hankou Airport. In addition to combat aircraft, there are only two reconnaissance planes. As for bombers, they are all at the rear airport to avoid Japanese bombing.
For this operation, the Chinese army assembled 37 fighter planes, most of which were stationed at Xiaogan Airport.
"Don't worry, the Soviet commander at the airport will notify you." Lu Jichun just wanted to get on the plane as soon as possible.
Arriving at the tarmac, just as Li Hang came to the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet, Lu Jichun, who was not far away, suddenly shouted, "Li Hang, can we trust you?"
