Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Just when Lin Tian was recruiting Li Dabenshi and others.

In the direction of Taiyuan, there is Lizhuang Airport in the first district.

One MiG-15 fighter squadron, one JH-7A fighter-bomber squadron, and one B-29 Superfortress bomber squadron.

On the fuselage, the navigation lights were flashing and the airport was brightly lit.

A total of 90 fighter jets took off from the runway one after another.

Fighter planes roared above the airport.

The MiG-15 fighter squadron took off first and was responsible for the air defense mission over the airport.

Although it is impossible for Japanese fighter planes to appear here, we must never let our guard down. This is also an important point in the pilot's manual.

The B-29 bomber group followed closely behind, roaring and circling over the airport.

Then, under the escort of a MiG-15 fighter squadron, it flew towards Chongqing Airport.

They had to go to Chongqing Airport for supplies first, and then attack the Japanese.

Moreover, visibility was poor at night and flying conditions were harsh, making it meaningless for MiG-15 fighters and B-29 bombers to carry out combat missions.

After replenishing their supplies, they will fly over the battlefield at dawn the next day to carry out combat missions.

Half an hour later, the MiG-15 fighter squadron and the B-29 bomber squadron flew away.

A zoned airport.

Liu Zhenhua personally led the team, with the combat power ceiling of a division, a brigade of 30 J-7A fighter-bombers, and set sail in the night.

Go directly to the battlefield of the two lakes.

The JH-7A has a range of more than kilometers, and can fly to the two lakes for an air strike and then return to a district airport.

So Liu Zhenhua and his team don’t have to go to Chongqing Airport.

It is better to keep this more advanced fighter jet a secret, even though the two sides are currently in a period of cooperation.

But there have always been minor frictions.

There is no guarantee that the Central Army will have evil thoughts after seeing the JH-7A.

The MiG-15 fighter is already very advanced, but its range is not as good as the JH-7A, so it can only go to Chongqing.

Lin Tian also gave special instructions.

Once there, we must eat and sleep at the airport to prevent some people with ulterior motives in the Central Army from sending spies to sabotage the fighter planes.

The existence of the JH-7A is still kept secret, and neither the Central Army nor the Japanese know about it.

If they were to show up in the Central Army's territory, it would definitely arouse the Central Army's vigilance and fear.

If things go wrong, their spies might destroy the JH-7A when the war is almost over.

This is definitely something Lin Tian doesn't want to see.

So, after repeated consideration, Lin Tian decided that the JH-7A would take off from Laowangshan Airport.

Anyway, the speed is fast enough and the range is long enough, so it's completely possible.

Moreover, the Laowangshan base has sufficient ammunition and fuel, which can be replenished at any time.

……

Chongqing Airport, all runways have been cleared.

All guide lights are on.

Although the Japanese planes often bomb and harass Chongqing now, they will not come to Chongqing at night.

Now you can turn on the lights without worrying about exposing your target.

Anyway, by tomorrow, Chongqing’s airspace will be safe.

With the air force of a division here, the Japanese fighter planes will be completely crushed unilaterally.

In order to show its importance, the Central Army specially sent Air Force Commander Wu Qiwen to welcome him in person.

Everyone was waiting quietly at the airport.

More than half an hour later.

In the dark night sky, the roar of an airplane engine could be faintly heard.

The sound is getting closer.

Upon closer listening, it was completely different from the sound of the Japanese fighter planes.

Wu Qiwen knew that the air force from the first division had arrived.

"Tower, command the fighter plane to land!"

"Student groups, prepare to perform!"

"Military band, get ready to play!"

"Orphans of the Martyrs, stand at attention!"

Wu Qiwen attached great importance to this matter. As soon as he received the order from the general manager, he began to prepare for the welcome ceremony.

He was a patriotic man who always advocated cooperation between the two sides. He was also a graduate of Whampoa Military Academy and had deep friendships with many officers of the Eighth Route Army.

Especially with the brigade commander...

Now, the Eighth Route Army came to support them in the war of resistance, and as the commander of the Air Force, Wu Qiwen certainly could not be careless.

The leader of the First Division this time is Liu Anguo, captain of the Second MiG-15 Fighter Squadron.

He is an old pilot and came to the same division with Liu Zhenhua. The two are from the same hometown.

With good skills and rich experience, he shot down 20 enemy planes in the Battle of Taiyuan.

Later, after Lin Tian came back from the rear and delivered hundreds of fighter planes to the Air Force, Liu Anguo was appointed as the captain of the second squadron.

This time he was responsible for supporting the Central Army.

The captain of the B-29 bomber squadron is Wei Xiang, who is also newly appointed.

The two formations soon flew over Chongqing Airport.

"The First Division Air Force has been ordered to arrive and request to land." Liu Anguo called on the radio in the sky.

"Received. Thank you, Eighth Route Army. We pay tribute to your army. The airport runway has been cleared and we can land," the tower commanded.

"Start landing." Liu Anguo ordered.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Then, one fighter plane after another followed the airport's instructions and slowly landed on the runway.

"Woo..."

The hood is open.

All the pilots and crew members got off the plane and began to line up.

"The welcome ceremony begins! Play the music!"

Wu Qiwen ordered.

Then the military band began to play, and the student delegation held up various welcome banners and welcomed them enthusiastically.

The delegation of martyrs' orphans, a group of teenagers, stood quietly, holding signs calling for resisting Japanese aggression and saving the nation.

"stand at attention!"

"Look to the right!"

"Look forward!"

"Run forward!"

On Liu Anguo's side, he saw a group of heroic pilots and spirited crew members quickly assembled and lined up neatly in columns. They stood tall and focused, as if ready to meet challenges at any time.

Following Liu Anguo's order, they shouted out several clear, powerful and extremely imposing commands.

Every command was like the passionate and generous charge on the battlefield, stirring people's hearts.

After receiving the order, the queue took action immediately, with clean, neat and uniform movements.

They walked with vigorous steps, showing very high military qualities, and ran towards the direction where Wu Qiwen was.

The footsteps were deafening and so powerful that it seemed as if the earth was shaking.

The lights and moonlight shone on them, casting shining rays of light that attracted people's attention.

"Standing!"

Liu Anguo shouted.

The troops came to a sudden stop, standing still like statues.

"Commander Wu! We have arrived as ordered. We will rest for a while, refuel, and then take off immediately for combat!"

Liu Anguo turned around and saluted Wu Qiwen.

They are considered acquaintances.

When Liu Anguo worked in the Central Army Air Force with Liu Zhenhua, Wu Qiwen was the deputy commander of the Air Force.

At that time, Wu Qiwen often met with these pilots and encouraged them.

He is an unusual person in the Central Army Air Force.

"Welcome, welcome! On behalf of all the soldiers of the Central Army and the tens of millions of people in the two lakes, I welcome you!"

Wu Qiwen also returned the greeting and said excitedly.
