Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Laowangshan base, air force airport.

Today is the pilot graduation day.

The airport was decorated with lights and various banners, colorful flags flying, and loud gongs and drums.

"Comrades! Today is a day worth celebrating!"

"Our 400 pilots have successfully graduated!"

As the chief pilot instructor of the first division, Liu Zhenhua stood on the podium with his own fighter jet, the JH-7A, behind him.

"Wow..." The high-spirited pilots held their heads high and clapped in unison.

"Today is graduation day, but it is also the beginning of a new round of selection!"

"Pilots are one in a thousand, they are the eagles in the sky!"

"As pilots of the First Division, you deserve to be proud. As pilots of MiG-15 fighter jets, you deserve to be prouder even more!"

"But! You must know that there are always people who are better than you. Now! Behind me is the most advanced and powerful fighter jet in our division, the JH-7A!"

"Before he left, the commander told me, 'Zhenhua, these nine JH-9A fighters are now in your hands. I hope I can see your JH-7A formation with the leaders in Yan'an!"

"Comrades! The JH-7A will be piloted by the best pilots in our Division 7! So I declare that today is also the day for the selection of JH-A pilots!"

"The commander said that the first batch of JH-7A pilots needs to be selected for 150!"

"Comrades, do you want to fly it?!"

Liu Zhenhua stood on the podium and shouted passionately, his voice spreading to every corner of the airport.

He pointed at the J-7 fighter jet behind him and asked loudly.

"miss you!"

"miss you!"

"think!!"

The pilots shouted in unison, their resolute faces showing determination.

Everyone was looking at the JH-7A behind Liu Zhenhua. When Liu Zhenhua was flying the JH-7A above the sky these days, everyone saw the outstanding figure of this eagle.

The graceful lines, perfect aerodynamic layout, supersonic speed, and powerful air-to-ground combat capabilities.

They are all pilots selected from the entire army, so naturally they all want to fly this most advanced fighter.

"Okay! Just think about it! If you do it, do it to the best of your ability! We are not cowards! No one is missing a part compared to anyone else!"

"We are all men, we are all soldiers, we can't be cowards!"

"Then I declare! The selection of JH-7A pilots has officially begun!"

Liu Zhenhua, with a smile on his face and wearing a pair of aviator sunglasses, glanced at the high-spirited pilots below and shouted.

The commander has been gone for twenty days and the day to return will soon come.

These pilots have basically received training and education on the JH-7A and are very familiar with the relevant data and performance of the JH-7A.

There are even a few particularly outstanding pilots who have flown the JH-7A into space with Liu Zhenhua.

Therefore, Liu Zhenhua believes that these 150 J-7A pilots can be trained soon.

Liu Zhenhua still remembered that when the commander left, he told him that when the commander came back, more J-7A fighter jets would be equipped to the Air Force.

150 pilots! Liu Zhenhua was excited just thinking about it. These are the pilots of 75 J-7A fighter jets.

Could it be that the commander already has 75 J-7A fighter jets?

This is incredible!

Just imagine the sky full of JH-7A, MiG-15 fighters and B-29 strategic bombers attacking the Japanese invaders. What a spectacular scene that would be.

What a devastating blow that would be...

He still remembered that Lin Tian had said that in the future he would directly attack the Japanese mainland...

……

Taiyuan Lizhuang Airport.

Zhang Guoyang now serves as a bomber instructor.

Originally he was Liu Zhenhua's wingman.

During the Battle of Taiyuan, he flew a B-29 bomber. It happened that the Air Force had only trained crews for two B-29 strategic bombers at that time.

After the battle, Liu Zhenhua arranged for Zhang Guoyang to be an instructor in the bomber brigade.

At this time, above Lizhuang Airport, a flight formation consisting of 9 B-29 bombers had just completed a training mission and returned.

Zhang Guoyang held up a telescope and observed the situation in the sky, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The bomber formation flew very well.

Before launching the next campaign, he must train a group of excellent bomber pilots.

By then, under the powerful firepower of the B-29 bombers, the Japanese will have nowhere to hide.

……

a few days later.

Taiyuan.

Today, Liu Wu called all the regimental-level cadres of the first division, except Liu Zhenhua, to discuss an important matter.

"Comrades, today is the military meeting of the First Division. All the regimental-level cadres are here. Zhenhua is still busy flying a plane in Laowang Mountain, so he is not here, but Guoyang is here to attend the meeting in his place."

"I won't waste any more time. This is the battle report I just received. Okamura Neiji launched an attack on the two lakes area. With the strong air superiority, the advance was very rapid, and the Central Army suffered heavy casualties!"

"On the second line of defense of the Central Army, three armies suffered more than half casualties, but they were still stubbornly resisting. The Sichuan Army's 17th Army Group, which was responsible for encircling the enemy, was blocked by the Japanese 20th Division and suffered heavy casualties."

"The 20th Corps of the Central Army is still advancing slowly, and our friendly forces are in trouble but remain unmoved..."

"Due to the slow advance of the 20th Corps, the Japanese troops in the north simply ignored it and concentrated their forces to attack the Central Army's second line of defense."

"Now, the Japanese bombers are carrying a large number of bombs and poison gas bombs, bombing the Central Army positions in turns without stopping."

"On the other hand, the Central Army also deployed reinforcements from other war zones to join the battle, but the battle was extremely brutal and the Central Army suffered heavy casualties."

Liu Wu introduced the data and situation of the recent war in the south to everyone.

To be honest, Liu Wu's eyes were full of anger when he said these words.

He was angry at the brutal behavior of the Japanese against the Chinese army. They even used poison gas bombs on a large scale and massacred all the Chinese villages and towns they encountered along the way, causing countless casualties among the military and civilians.

But he was even more angry at the 20th Corps for not helping and missing the opportunity to fight.

How can soldiers retreat because of the brutality of war?

If the Chinese army is like this, is there still China?

The reason why Liu Wu was captured by the Japanese was because the 20th Corps suddenly retreated without saying goodbye, exposing his troops to the Japanese encirclement and leading to the destruction of the entire division.

I didn’t expect that it was the 20th Corps again this time.

It is really a misfortune for the country and the people that China has such an army!

"Well, I've also been paying attention to the war in the two lakes recently. The Central Army has suffered 100,000 casualties, more than a dozen cities have been occupied by the Japanese, and about 200,000 civilians have been killed by the Japanese!" Zhou Weiguo said with great sorrow.
