Devil's Army

In order to obtain the much-needed aid from the United States and Britain, the Nanjing leaders sent Director Zhou to the base of the First Anti-Japanese Army to negotiate with Leng Feng.

Director Zheng also went there as Leng Feng's friend.

Two days later, at around nine o'clock in the morning, an I-16 fighter jet landed at Jinzhou Xiaolingshan Airport.

Director Zhou and his entourage got off the plane one after another.

Leng Feng had received the telegram in advance and was waiting at the Jinzhou airport.

When Director Zhou met Leng Feng for the first time, he did not expect that the leader of the First Anti-Japanese Army, who was famous in both the Japanese army and their government, was actually a young man.

"Director Zhou welcomes your visit and guidance!" Leng Feng said politely.

"It's not really guidance. Your air force is much stronger than ours. We are here to observe and learn."

"Let's take a break first. After lunch, at 2 pm, I will organize an air force military exercise and ask Director Zhou to guide it."

"I am so flattered to see such a high-level military exercise from you!"

As the director of the Nanjing government's Aviation Committee, Director Zhou has been committed to building and creating a strong air force. Now there is a rare opportunity to understand the strength of this air force, and he will definitely not let it go.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Director Zhou and others, accompanied by Leng Feng, sat in the chairman's seat and watched the Air Force military exercise.

The first thing that catches your eye is the formation of Voltaire bombers and Japanese Type 98 heavy bombers.

This was once the main bomber of their unit and an important bomber used by the Japanese to bomb them. Director Zhou was certainly familiar with it.

The two bombers performed bombing operations at low, medium and high altitudes, and the bombers dropped stone bombs at targets.

The stone bombs accurately fell on the targets marked on the airport.

There was warm applause from the audience.

"Commander Leng, your pilots are well trained and their bomb dropping is very accurate," Director Zhou commented.

"There is no other way. We are short of supplies. We can only use stone bombs to strengthen training and let pilots use fewer bombs to destroy Japanese targets and achieve tactical effects." Leng Feng introduced.

Next, the only two remaining Hawk-3 fighters and a trainer aircraft of the First Army came on stage for a performance.

The Hawk-3 fighter and the trainer aircraft performed a simulated air combat.

Director Zhou is very familiar with the Hawk-3 fighter.

This aircraft, on which he had poured a lot of effort, was responsible for developing and strengthening the Nanjing government's air force. However, under the attack of the Japanese air force, which had overwhelming strength, thousands of passionate eagles died in the blue sky.

These people are responsible for developing and strengthening the Nanjing government's air force!

In the early stages of the development of the First Anti-Japanese Army Air Force, due to technical limitations, more than a dozen Hawk-3 fighter jets were copied and produced.

Since these fighters had no advantage over the Japanese fighters, they were shot down by Japanese fighters one after another in the early days of the Air Force's anti-Japanese war, leaving only two.

In order to protect valuable pilots, the Tribal Aircraft Factory stopped producing these aircraft and focused on producing the excellent Huaxia II fighter and Hong I bomber.

Next, the H-1 bomber and the Huaxia-2 ​​fighter appeared as the finale.

Two squadrons of H-1 bombers, three in each formation, flew over the airfield one after another, performing low, medium and high altitude bombings.

One after another, the stone bombs hit the targets on the airport accurately, winning rounds of warm applause.

The China II fighter jets brought the military exercise to a climax.

He flew over the airport like a swift eagle, and the 20mm machine gun on his abdomen accurately hit the target on the airport.

An expert knows the ins and outs of things. Director Zhou immediately saw the huge advantages of this Hua Xia II fighter over their aircraft in terms of speed, flexibility and firepower.

He really hopes that his air force will have this fighter.

After a while, Captain Xu, who was on a mission outside, also hurried over as an important lobbyist.

When he saw Director Zhou, he saluted and said:

"Hello, Director Zhou!"

Seeing this former subordinate, Director Zhou teased:

"They said that you, Instructor Xu, had been promoted to the Air Force of the First Anti-Japanese Army. I saw you today and it was true."

Captain Xu responded with a “Hehehe…” laugh.

"There was no other way. When our First Army Air Force was first established, we had no people, no planes, and even less instructors. We had no choice but to poach talents from your aviation school. We also captured Japanese pilots to serve as instructors," Leng Feng explained.

"This is your former flight instructor from the Jiangqiao Aviation School." Director Zhou said to the pilots who came to observe.

"Hello, Instructor Xu!" the pilot saluted Captain Xu.

"Hello!"

After returning the salute, Captain Xu kept looking at the pilots.
