"Captain, the main reason is that this aircraft has good performance."
Although Li Hang is proud of himself, he is a new member after all, so he should keep a low profile.
Of course, his six confirmed kills today have broken the record for the largest number of enemy aircraft shot down by a pilot in a single air battle since the establishment of the Aeronautical Commission.
"Don't be modest. From today on, your name will become a household name in our aviation force."
"Yes, Li, you are really capable, and the performance of that Japanese aircraft is really good." As the Hankou Airport, Commander Ivanov of the China Aid Air Force also found an opportunity to speak.
The eyes he looked at Li Hang were filled with admiration, and his eyes were mostly looking at the Japanese fighter plane behind Li Hang.
Li Hang couldn't understand Russian, so he immediately looked next to him, and then a translator quickly translated.
"Li Hang, even Commander Ivanov is praising you." Li Guidan felt very comfortable upon hearing this.
What, Li Hang’s identity is a mystery?
It doesn't exist. Li Hang is obviously a second lieutenant pilot of the 23rd Squadron of the 4th Air Force Group.
The excitement on the tarmac lasted for almost half an hour, until someone reported that many people had gathered outside the airport, presumably to congratulate the Air Force on such an outstanding achievement.
And Li Hang's name is destined to become famous throughout the country because of this air battle.
Even the micro-management principal in Chongqing couldn't help but praise him several times when he heard the news, but Li Hang didn't know about this.
At this time, he was meeting with members of the 22nd Squadron.
In this battle, the Chinese Air Force actually dispatched only 8 Yi-15s, 5 Hawker IIIs and 1 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets, for a total of 14 aircraft.
However, one I-15 and one Hawker III were shot down, and one I-15 and two Hawker IIIs were damaged.
However, one Hawker III with an injured hand crashed during landing. In fact, in this battle, the Fourth Group lost one Yi-15 and two Hawker IIIs.
The entire Chinese Air Force, including the China Aid Air Force, had a total of 8 fighter jets shot down or crashed, including 5 I-15s, 1 I-16, and 2 Hawker IIIs, and a total of 13 Japanese aircraft were shot down.
The battle loss ratio was 8 to 13, which was considered a good result.
Among the results achieved, Li Hang owned 6, nearly half.
Among the remaining 7 results, the Chinese army won 2.5, totaling 8.5, which is not a shame.
"This is Liu Zhihan from the 22nd Squadron."
"This is Zheng Shaoyu from the 22nd Squadron."
Hearing the names of these people, Li Hang focused on Zheng Shaoyu.
This person's heart is red, or he already is at this time.
If this man had not died in the war, he might have become a legend.
In fact, he was also thinking about how to contact the organization. He couldn't just go to the Eighth Route Army Wuhan Office or Chongqing Office by himself, right?
This guy might be a good choice.
Of course, this matter is not urgent yet. I can't take the initiative to get involved, but it will appear that I am not taken seriously.
As for why I should move closer to the organization, I am a pilot of the Republic. If I don’t move closer to the organization, why would I still follow the Fruit Party, which is bullied by a small party and has no dignity even after decades?
He has no brains.
"Li Hang, the second lieutenant pilot of the 23rd Squadron, has met all of you colleagues." Li Hang directly raised his hands and saluted the 22nd Squadron.
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Li Hang to be so polite. Since they are all from the Fourth Brigade, they are our own people and don't have to be like this."
"Brother Li Hang may have to teach us how to deal with that new Japanese fighter plane."
"Captain, with Li Hang's ability, a second lieutenant pilot would be a waste of his talents, right? The 23rd Squadron is already short of personnel. I think we need at least one squad leader."
"Are you trying to provoke me?" Li Guidan looked at everyone unhappily, "I would like to promote Li Hang, but his situation is a bit special. It depends on what the above says."
Everyone also guessed the reason, it was nothing more than Li Hang's identity.
"Captain, didn't Commander Zhou admit Li Hang's identity before? Could it be that the superiors will slap him in the face? What's more, Li Hang has made great achievements this time." Liang Tiancheng on the side couldn't help but interjected. .
"I think what Tiancheng said makes sense. We are all watching this battle."
"Okay, stop making noise here. This battle has just ended. Why are you so anxious? Even if you want a reward, don't you have to give the higher ups some time?"
The reason for this is that Li Guidan himself is only the deputy captain and only temporarily manages the fourth brigade. He cannot make the final decision on many things.
In any case, Li Hang is really famous.
Of course, we are at the airport at this time.
But soon people came to express their condolences.
Since there were many people outside the airport, for the sake of safety, only some of them could be selected as representatives to enter.
. . . . . .
"We are from the Wuhan Chamber of Commerce. Thank you. Thank you to the pilot for driving away the little devil's plane."
"The old man made a strong statement. It is our duty to protect our homeland and our country."
"You can't say that, you are all risking your lives fighting against the little devil!"
"This is Li Hang, our great hero in this air battle. He alone shot down six aircraft in this air battle."
"Li Hang? Is he the patriot who robbed the Japanese plane in Nanjing and flew it back?"
"The old gentleman is right, the two Li Hangs are one person."
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy."
Li Guidan pushed Li Hang out under such circumstances, in fact, to shape the new king of the Air Force.
The previous four heavenly kings were Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin and himself, but the first three people all died in the battle.
My name as the Solitary Miao King is a bit unrealistic.
It's not that he is incompetent, but that he is not as dazzling as the others.
Not to mention Gao Zhihang, he is the old captain of the Fourth Brigade and the commander of the Air Force's pursuit aircraft unit; Liu Cuigang has a record of shooting down 11 Japanese aircraft; although Le Yiqin only has a record of 8, but in an air battle He achieved the impressive feat of shooting down 4 Japanese aircraft and was known as Zhao Zilong in the air.
Now that Li Hang has appeared, Li Guidan has made a name for himself, not only to take over the Air Force, but also to inspire the anti-Japanese morale of the entire Air Force and the Chinese military and civilians.
That's what heroes are for.
Li Guidan did not tell Li Hang in advance, which made Li Hang a little embarrassed. He had never seen such enthusiastic people.
In later generations, because there are no wars and the need for confidentiality, even if you are an excellent pilot, your reputation will not be high.
Now is the Anti-Japanese War, when the country is on the verge of destruction, so things are naturally a little different.
"Hello, my name is Chen Lu, can you sign your name for me?"
Just when Li Hang was tired of dealing with the enthusiastic people's representatives, a jade hand appeared in front of him.
