"Detachment Gao, the observation post reported that our three fighter planes have entered the outer suburbs of Jinyang and will arrive at Jinyang Airport in 10 minutes." Following the correspondent's report, Gao Jianwu, who was standing at Jinyang Airport waiting, perked up.
The three pilots from the border area finally arrived at Yunzhong. After some twists and turns, they briefly maintained the captured Little Japanese Type 97 fighter jet and took to the sky!
These three pilots had never been in contact with each other before, but after hard work and test flights, they quickly became familiar with the Xiaogui Type 97 fighter. At this time, the fighters did not have much in common, and different types of fighters were similar, so Even if they had never seen an actual Type 97 fighter jet before, these pilots became familiar with it very quickly.
Jinyang's aerial observation post has a 30-minute warning range around Jinyang. On several key air routes of the Japs, Gao Jianwu used radio stations to weave an air warning network that reaches as far as the three-zone defense zone, which greatly improved Jinyang's air defense and avoidance. risk ability.
Time passed by, and three small black dots appeared on the horizon, which soon turned into fighter planes. People in Jinyang City who saw the fighter planes couldn't help but want to go into the air defense facilities to avoid danger, but the broadcasts all over the streets The loudspeaker repeatedly played a warm reminder in real time: "Dear citizens, the fighter planes flying in the sky are our own fighter planes. Please don't panic!"
The loudspeaker kept repeating, making every citizen ecstatic.
Under the rule of the Japs, they were accustomed to living a life of fear. They finally regained Jinyang from the Eighth Route Army, but they encountered bombs from the Japs from time to time.
Now there is an air force on the Eighth Route Army! Now everyone feels that good times will come soon.
They have the most say in the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness. The arrogant little devils have no power to fight back under the Eighth Route Army's attack. All the little devils in Jinyang were killed overnight, and even Yoshio Shinozuka was captured!
Now that the Eighth Route Army has fighter jets, if the Japanese Air Force dares to come again, it will definitely be defeated by the Eighth Route Army fighter jets.
No matter what others think, most citizens now think that the Eighth Route Army is invincible!
The Type 97 fighter jets landed steadily at the renovated Jinyang Airport and stopped at the clearly marked aircraft positions one by one.
Three pilots of similar height wearing leather jackets, flying hats and goggles walked quickly towards Gao Jianwu and his group with confident steps.
"Report, pilot Lu Xingguo reports to detachment Gao!"
"Report, pilot Fang Zhen reports to Gao Detachment!"
"Report, pilot Ye Shaoshang reports to Detachment Gao!"
The three pilots raised their hands in salute. According to the orders of the border area and the headquarters, they will be under the command of Gao Jianwu of the Ping An Division and become members of the Red Star Flying Group of the Eighth Route Air Force from the moment they receive the fighter planes.
The construction of the Eighth Route Air Force began when Gao Jianwu learned that fighter jets had been captured at Yunzhong Airport, and he began planning to establish the first air force. Although this is not the first time in the history of our military that we have an air force, it is different from the previous single fighter aircraft. Gao Jianwu proposed a plan for the complete construction of the Air Force and a path for future development, as well as a strategic concept for the use of the Air Force.
During this period, no one understood how to use the Air Force better than Gao Jianwu, and he didn't even have much concept of air-ground coordination. So when Gao Jianwu's plan was reported to the headquarters, the boss decided that the Air Force should be handled by Gao Jianwu first.
In this way, three pilots sent from the border area became Gao Jianwu's subordinates before they met.
"Comrades, thank you for your hard work," Gao Jianwu returned the gesture, "I prepared some food to help the three pilot comrades. We all worked hard all the way, so we talked while eating."
Men in the army are not so particular. Lu Xingguo and others nodded, not looking down on the young-looking detachment leader in front of them at all.
In recent battles, the Eighth Route Army and the Border Area have now pushed Gao Jianwu to the forefront. For a time, Gao Jianwu became the third person after the Brigade Commander and Li Yunlong!
The famous anti-war general who rose like a comet in the recent series of great victories over the Japanese!
This is because the headquarters selectively used some materials for publicity.
But even so, Gao Jianwu is now a new generation of heroes in the minds of people across the country.
"The three comrades came from afar and should have had good wine to wash away the dust, but today I only found a can of Commander Li Yunlong's Sweet Potato Burnt here. Please don't dislike it." Gao Jianwu had already prepared the canteen next to the airport. A table of four dishes and one soup was served.
There was a pot of roasted pork with potatoes, three vegetables and an egg drop soup. There were not many varieties but the portions were full. Gao Jianwu paid for it by the airport canteen chef. In addition, there was a large pot of white flour steamed buns.
And a jar of sweet potato roasted from Li Yunlong.
In this era, the three people who joined the Eighth Route Army knew that the banquet would be open if there were meat dishes. The three of them looked at each other and were no longer polite, so they sat down with Gao Jianwu.
At the same time, Song Tiecheng, who was acting as an orderly, opened the lid of the sweet potato roasting, filled four earthen bowls, and then stepped aside.
Gao Jianwu picked up the bowl and said, "I look forward to the three of you like the stars to the moon, and today we have finally arrived. Without further ado, I would like to take this first sip of wine today to welcome the arrival of these three comrades, who will make me even more powerful on the road."
After speaking, Gao Jianwu drank a large gulp, then raised the wine bowl and showed it.
"Detachment Gao, you're so polite!" Lu Xingguo, one of the three, stood up and held up the wine bowl with both hands, "Thank you, Detachment Gao, for your warm hospitality. The three of us accepted the first bowl of wine without any courtesy. We'll keep the rest." Wait, let’s have a celebratory drink one day after we shoot down the Japanese enemy plane!”
After saying that, the three of them picked up the wine bowl and finished it in one go!
After drinking, Fang Zhen's face suddenly turned red, but Lu Xingguo and Ye Shaoshang showed no change. Obviously, the drinking capacity of the three of them was not as uniform as their height.
"Come here, eat food, eat food!" Gao Jianwu smiled and raised Kuai Zi, "Today's table is set for three positions based on the future air service stove standards, and I will see if it suits everyone's taste."
"Detachment Gao, you're welcome when it comes to food. We'll eat whatever the comrades in the army eat." Lu Xingguo stood up again and said, "Revolutionary comrades only have different divisions of labor, and we can't get special treatment."
"This was specially designated by our temporary management committee. You have a special mission. You must maintain good physical condition to kill enemies in the blue sky. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to our cause." Gao Jianwu was a rare authoritative voice.
"Although today is the first time we have met, the situation is urgent now, so I won't be polite. Let's chat while eating. Regarding the construction of the Red Star Flying Brigade, I have some ideas to communicate with the three of you... .”
With these dishes, Gao Jianwu began to express his thoughts about the Red Star Flying Brigade. At first, the three of them could communicate with each other based on Gao Jianwu's words. The two parties communicated very harmoniously, and they were very relaxed as they took one bite of meat and one bite of food.
Although the three people said it politely, in fact, it is not easy to eat a bite of meat on the Eighth Road in this era, and the boss can't eat more than a few meals a year.

It was only now that Jinyang was captured that Gao Jianwu had the opportunity to use his allowance to buy meat. If he was squatting in a ravine, he wouldn't be able to buy it even if he had money.
But strange to say, Gao Jianwu didn't stay in the ravine for long. He spent most of his time outside fighting back and forth. He also quickly conquered counties like Heyuan, and he was able to exploit food, so his life was The food was pretty good, I wasn't too hungry.
But there is not much meat, and the cost of eating meat in Heyuan is not low. With his one-yuan allowance, he can't eat more than a few meals.
After today's meal, the ocean is basically gone.
So everyone had a great time eating.
He was originally a man in the military, and with the lubrication of a bowl of wine, the things Gao Jianwu talked about were very relevant to their profession, so they got along well with each other in a short time.
But gradually Lu Xingguo and Fang Zhen began to fail to keep up with Gao Jianwu's ideas. In future battles, only the side with air superiority can more easily win. The air force is the main force in future combat, and the concept of space victory, as well as air-ground coordination, air and sea Although the three of them are already considered the best in this period, they still can't understand the advanced views on collaboration and so on.
After all, on the land of China, although the little devil's air force has caused great damage to the troops, it cannot be said to be a decisive force.
After all, the scale of the air force invested by the little devils here is actually very limited.
Even the Air Force on the Little Devil's side does not have a separate army. The number of fighters deployed in combat on the land of China is not at all an order of magnitude compared to the European battlefield.
Therefore, in the minds of Lu Xingguo and others, the concept of air force victory has not yet been established.
Gao Jianwu didn't mean to convince them directly. After all, times were different. With the help of being drunk, Gao Jianwu instilled some new concepts in advance.
However, Gao Jianwu's second talking point cheered up the three of them.
"The current main responsibility of the Red Star Flying Group is to train pilots, but we do not follow a step-by-step approach like traditional aviation schools. Instead, we use actual combat as a standard to quickly train a group to enrich the Red Star Flying Group," Gao Jianwu said.
"We captured three complete fighter jets this time, but at Jinyang Airport, we destroyed more than ten fighter jets. I believe these battle-damaged fighter jets can be assembled into new ones by disassembling their parts and reusing them. Several fighter planes came out."
Gao Jianwu did not completely tell the truth. In fact, with the processing equipment and the overall production and design process of the P51 Mustang fighter jets obtained here, it is not too difficult to repair some Japanese fighter jets, because the attack on Jinyang Airport destroyed a lot of Most of them are external parts such as wings, and the probability of loss of engines under mortar attacks is not high.
Now it is enough to make and replace the structural components such as the wings of the Little Devil to the original size. A batch of aviation aluminum alloys exploded by Gao Jianwu can come in handy and are stronger than the wings of the Little Devil now.
What really tests your skill is the engine. However, with the experience of Luwang engine production and the detailed process design drawings of the Mustang fighter engine, with the support of Jinyang Heavy Industry’s strong processing capabilities, the engine production can be overcome.
Lu Xingguo and the others frowned when they heard Gao Jianwu's request to train fighter pilots. The reason was simple. The Type 97 fighter plane was a single seater, and it was very difficult to use it as a training aircraft.
But no matter how difficult it is, it is still much better than no fighter plane.
...
The construction of the aviation school was left to the three of Lu Xingguo and Gao Jianwu. After Gao Jianwu made the request, he let it go. At the artillery school, Gao Jianwu also found someone to scout the site in the suburbs first. In his mind, Liu Shiqiang was the candidate for the principal of the artillery school.
However, now he still has to deal with two major threats to the Ping An Division Base Area!
