"Daddy, it's bad, something happened, something big happened!"
Wuhan, Chen Mansion.
Chen Yin, wearing a sky-blue student uniform, suddenly ran into the house from outside in a hurry, holding a red flyer in her hand.
"Xiao Yin, aren't you supposed to be in class at school? Why did you run back?" Mother Chen was a little surprised when she saw her little daughter running out of breath.
"Mom, something happened!"
"You girl, what are you talking about? Your mother is standing right here."
"Mom, something happened not to you, but to my brother-in-law." Chen Yin anxiously raised the flyer in her hand.
"Brother-in-law? Are you talking about Li Hang?" Mother Chen frowned slightly.
"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore, I'm looking for daddy."
"Xiao Yin, look at you like this, what do you look like? You don't look like a girl at all." Chen Qingshan walked out of the study room upstairs and looked at his little daughter who had lost his sense of control with a straight face.
"Daddy, something happened to my brother-in-law."
"What happened to Li Hang? What's going on?" Chen Qingshan suddenly panicked when he heard that, and hurriedly walked down the stairs. Mother Chen was afraid that the other person would fall, so she quickly walked over to help him.
"I haven't reached the point where I can't walk yet." Chen Qingshan knocked his wife's hand off, walked to his youngest daughter, and grabbed the flyer.
When he saw the contents of the flyer, Chen Qingshan's hand holding the flyer subconsciously used force and crushed the flyer directly.
"Qingshan, what's wrong? What happened to Xiaohang?" Mother Chen came over to take a look curiously. When she saw the content clearly, her expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but fall back.
"lady!"
"mom!"
Fortunately, the maid next to her had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported Mother Chen, so that the latter did not fall straight down.
"I knew it. I persuaded Xiaolu at the beginning not to look for the pilot, not to look for the pilot. Now it's better. If you don't listen, you still mess around. What should I do now?" Thinking of the content on the flyer, Chen's mother suddenly Just sighing there.
Chen Qingshan took the flyer and turned it over, frowning slightly, and looked at his youngest daughter with a suspicious look on his face, "Xiao Yin, how did you get this flyer? Who sent it?"
"It was dropped by a plane. It seemed to be a Japanese plane. We were in class. The flyers were dropped and the Japanese plane ran away."
"Japanese?"
If the local newspaper reports in Wuhan are more credible, the leaflets dropped by the Japanese may not be so.
"Father..."
Just when the family was standing in the living room wondering what to do, Chen Rong hurried in.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the red flyer in his father's hand, and he also had a copy in his hand, but it was white.
"Father, do you know everything?"
"Are you because of what's on the flyer?" Chen Qingshan immediately understood what was going on when he saw the flyer in his eldest son's hand.
Chen Rong, who was wearing a suit, nodded, "As soon as I arrived at the factory, I saw leaflets dropped from the sky. They were dropped by Japanese planes."
"What do you think? It said that Li Hang's plane was shot down in Xuzhou. Didn't I remember that Li Hang has been stationed in Wuhan?
Why go to Xuzhou? "Chen Qingshan didn't understand.
"Father, on the 24th, Li Hang went to Xuzhou and shot down 6 Japanese planes on the front line of Taierzhuang. He should have been ordered to go to Xuzhou yesterday..." Chen Rong still has a certain concern for this brother-in-law. .
The battle record over Taierzhuang is officially recognized and cannot be faked if it is reported in the newspaper.
"Daddy, brother, is something really going to happen to my brother-in-law? Do you want to tell your sister?" Chen Yin asked worriedly.
"Xiaolu should still be on the cruise ship and can't receive our telegram. Father, I don't think this is necessarily true. The government has not acknowledged it."
"Go and read today's newspaper to see if it says anything about what's going on. I'll ask some friends." Chen Qingshan thought for a while and prepared to inquire about the situation shamelessly.
Soon, Chen Qingshan and his son roughly found out what happened yesterday.
An air battle did take place in Xuzhou, but according to official reports, it was a great victory for the Chinese Air Force. At the cost of losing 5 fighter planes, it destroyed more than 50 Japanese aircraft in Xuzhou, Jinan and other places, achieving a complete victory.
The announced death list included Chen Huaimin and five other people, but Li Hang was not included.
However, the leaflets airdropped by the Japanese stated that they had shot down 20 Chinese fighter planes, including the plane of Li Hang, the "King of Destroyers" of the Chinese Air Force, and that they had only lost 10 aircraft.
There is a big conflict between the data of both parties. Ordinary people don’t know who is true and who is false.
Even with the information Chen Qingshan learned from acquaintances and newspaper reports, the data was problematic.
Yesterday's air battle was divided into two parts, one over southwest Xuzhou and the other over Jinan.
Over the southwest of Xuzhou, the Chinese Air Force destroyed 20 Japanese fighter planes, including 5 Type 97 fighters and 15 Type 95 fighters, at the cost of 3 I-16s being shot down and 1 I-16 being damaged.
Over in Jinan, the Third Battalion destroyed 8 Japanese aircraft in the air and destroyed 9 Japanese aircraft parked at the airport. It lost 4 aircraft and another 2 were damaged.
In general, the Chinese Air Force lost 7 fighter planes on the Jinpu Line battlefield yesterday, but shot down 28 Japanese planes in the air, destroyed 9 Japanese planes parked at the airport, and destroyed a total of 37 Japanese planes.
In the entire North China battlefield, this was the greatest victory since the war began.
The Japanese army was miserable, losing 51 fighters in two consecutive days, and most of them were used as fighters to seize air supremacy.
Needless to say, in the next half month, the Chinese army on the Xuzhou battlefield will not encounter Japanese aircraft.
The Japanese army would not be able to make up for the loss of so many aircraft in a short time, unless they were willing to transfer them from the Kwantung Army's aviation unit, but they would not be able to recover in a short time.
What's more important is that the experienced pilots explained on the Xuzhou battlefield that this is the most deadly.
"You go to Hankou Airport to find Li Hang's colleagues to inquire about the situation. The Japanese leaflets cannot be fabricated out of thin air, and the government newspapers cannot be fully believed. This matter still needs to be confirmed." Chen Qingshan immediately understood. decision.
At this time, many people in Wuhan were discussing the contents of the flyers. Through various forms of publicity by the government, Li Hang had actually become the new leader of the Air Force.
Even though he is only a captain and squadron leader now, with the name 'King of Expulsion', he has long become a well-known hero.
Now that the news of his death in Xuzhou has spread, the impact will naturally not be small.
Moreover, leaflets were scattered everywhere. The Japanese army dispatched many planes specifically to drop leaflets, and they ran away after dropping the leaflets.
The key is that there is not even a single Japanese plane left at Hankou Airport.
Needless to say, when the flyer was presented to the table of the micromanager, the classic "Niang Xipi" curse came out.
