Revolution 1938

() Puhai, Hongqiao Airport, it was already 1938 pm on May 5rd, 23. Since the Japanese army in the Jiangsu area had begun to shrink its line of defense significantly, after the judgment of the Fleet Staff Department, the Japanese puppet in the Suzhou area that was in direct contact with the 3th Army Forced by its powerful firepower, the army gradually shrank in the city of Suzhou, so finally formed a protrusion with a depth of more than 38 kilometers.The headquarters decided to airdrop the 50rd Airborne Motorized Infantry Division of the 15th Group Army to Changzhou City behind the salient, cut off the connection between Nanjing and Suzhou, and cooperate with other troops to annihilate the remnants of the Japanese Army entrenched in Suzhou.

Therefore, as soon as the order was issued, the Hongqiao Airport, where the transport aircraft formation is located, began to become lively. A large number of personnel, vehicles and materials were constantly shuttled between the various aprons to prepare for the airdrop operation.

At this time, the airport command suddenly received a clear call: "Call Hongqiao Airport, this is Kunpeng 11, we will land in 15 minutes, please indicate the approach direction and landing runway."

"Kunpeng No. 11, this is Hongqiao Airport. The weather above the airport is good. The wind direction is southeast, and the wind force is 2. It is possible to land. Please approach from runway 2. The auxiliary landing system has been activated."

"Kunpeng 11 understands that it has landed on runway 2, and the auxiliary landing signal has been confirmed. We will land in 10 minutes. Please arrange the follow-up journey for passengers."

"Hongqiao Airport received, can land"

After finishing the call, Huang Xiansheng, the commander of the 15th Army Group Army who was in the command post, turned his head to Wei Chi, the military political commissar, and said, "Have the people sent by the Beiping arrived?"

"Waiting on apron 4"

"Okay then, let's go down to greet him, and show our Premier Zhou a good look at our mighty army."

"Let's go now"

After more than 20 hours of flying, the huge Y-4 finally landed steadily at Hongqiao Airport. Two escorting J-11s circled over the airport and then flew to the northwest. They will land at Dachang Airport again. Back to combat duty for air supremacy.

Accompanied by Wang Shixuan, Zhou Xiangyu and his team slowly walked down from the opened rear hatch, and "saluted" four soldiers wearing round helmets were standing side by side under the plane, and when they saw them get out of the cabin, they solemnly A military salute was performed.

"Who are these four?"

"They are the pilot crew who sent us here, and the fat man in the lead is Captain Wang Kun"

"It turned out to be the joking Captain Wang Kun Wang." Zhou Xiangyu heard the introduction, and hurried up to shake hands with the crew members one by one. "The four of you can go with us and take a rest. You have worked hard all the way, you have worked hard."

"Chief, don't worry, we still have tasks to do later, so we won't be with you."

While talking, a group of soldiers approached the parked Yun-20 from a distance. The leading soldier showed a surprised expression when he saw Zhou Xiangyu and his party. stop in front of people.

"Salute!" shouted, "The Reconnaissance Battalion directly under the 15rd Division of the 43th Group Army pays tribute to the chief." All the soldiers uniformly gave a solemn military salute to everyone present.

"Comrades have worked hard." Seeing the soldiers saluting them, Zhou Xiangyu quickly smiled and motioned for everyone to put their hands down. This scene reminded him of the time when he was with those soldiers in Yan'an.

The classic answer of "serving the people" echoed around, and the ripples of the two long rivers of time really merged at this moment.

After everyone watched the soldiers enter the cabin, Wang Shixuan accompanied Zhou Xiangyu and his party all the way across the busy tarmacs to the command post. Every time they passed by the busy soldiers, they would receive a salute of "Hello, Commander".Although Zhou Xiangyu's heart was full of doubts, it was also filled with excitement.It seems that the faces of these soldiers merged with Jinggang Mountain, Snow Mountain, and the faces of those lovely soldiers in the Long March.He returned to the glorious years of war.

"Chief, this is Comrade Huang Xiansheng, commander of our 15th Army, and this is Comrade Wei Chi, political commissar of our 15th Army"

"Hello, Chief." The two middle-aged men wearing the rank of major general also solemnly saluted Zhou Xiangyu in front of Zhou Xiangyu. The respect shown on the face is a natural expression from the bottom of the heart, not a polite expression, do they really have a connection with the Labor Party or themselves?

"Chief, we are ordered to welcome you here and escort Zhou Xiangyu. Chief Zhou will go to the Fleet Headquarters to meet with the Fleet Commander for the first time. Others will take the special car we prepared to go to the hotel in the city to rest. Tomorrow will be led by a special person. Everyone is visiting Puhai. Please forgive us for not being able to accompany you on a special trip. You can also see that our 15th Army will usher in its first tough battle in the next few hours. As the highest leader of the army, we dare not be sloppy."

While talking, the two led everyone to a nearby apron. There were three warriors parked on the left side of the apron. They would send the three people except Zhou Xiangyu and his wife to the Peace Hotel. On the apron, a A Z-9 multifunctional helicopter and two Z-2 armed helicopters are quietly waiting for the arrival of Zhou Xiangyu and his wife.

"Salute, report chief, Dragonfly No. 1 crew salutes you, this crew will escort you two to Beiping"

With the help of the crew members, Zhou Xiangyu and his wife got into the helicopter and put on earphones for the two of them.

"Chief, this earphone can resist noise. If you have anything to do, you can just say it directly. We have turned on the earphones for you two. We and your wife can hear what you say."

While speaking, the helicopter's rotors started to turn and slowly lifted into the air, and then two Z-10 armed helicopters also slowly lifted into the air, and the guards flew southeast with Z-[-] on both sides.

"Little comrade, what is the difference between this plane called a helicopter and ordinary planes?"

"Our helicopters can take off and land vertically, but they don't fly very fast. Therefore, our helicopters are mainly responsible for short-distance transportation and ground attack missions, while ordinary aircraft are mainly used to seize air supremacy. There are still big differences in the scope of our use. "

"Oh, seeing how clearly you have divided them, it seems that your army is very large."

"Hehe, Chief, it's different. We belong to the Marine Corps of the South China Sea Fleet, which belongs to the amphibious force. The Y-20 you just took belongs to the transport aircraft formation and the air force. The division of labor between us is still very clear."

"Oh, is your air force unique?"

"Yes, the Air Force is the Air Force, and the Army is the Army. Fixed-wing aircraft, like the Yun-20 you just took, are only available in the Air Force, and the Army is all helicopters like ours. Wait a minute for your arrival The Beiping is an aircraft carrier, which belongs to the navy, and has fixed-wing aircraft on it, but none of them are as big as 20"

"Oh, I know about aircraft carriers, and Japan also has them."

"Hehe, that's different. Those small sampans in Little Japan are no match for our aircraft carrier."

From this young man's face, Zhou Xiangyu clearly found that when Ri himself was mentioned, his expression was full of contempt, and his expression was completely different from the expressions of modern Chinese people when they mentioned Ri himself.

The young man was very talkative along the way, and Zhou Xiangyu's eyes were brightened by his smooth talk that day. It's really hard to find such a person who is proficient in various topics in today's society.

"Little comrade, I see that you know a lot, and you have read a lot."

"No way, I just read a lot of idle books. I don't have a high degree of education, so I mixed up a bachelor's degree"

"Which level of education is a bachelor's degree, junior high school or high school?"

"I'm much taller than high school. I graduated from college in four years. Although I didn't study hard in college, I just played around. I still regret it now."

"It turns out that you are a college student, but you are a talented student. In ancient times, you were the number one scholar."

"It's not as good as you said. In our navy, no one has a college degree, and the worst is a junior college degree. I'm just a little bit better. In our air force, there are a lot of postgraduates. Well, just Speaking of the captain, although he is not a graduate student, but he also holds three bachelor's degrees in his hand, he is a high-achieving student."

"Chief, don't listen to the nonsense of the mouse. Two of my three bachelor's degrees are self-taught. It's nothing. Compared with others, it's the same. The mouse is actually not easy. I taught Japanese and German by myself, and I majored in level 3 of English. , the little interpreter of our aviation team." Hearing the crew member nicknamed Mouse talking about himself, the pilot who was speechless along the way finally spoke.

"Chief, when it comes to academic qualifications, the pilots of the two helicopter gunships next to us are highly talented students. They were graduate students when they joined the army. In addition, they are self-taught in the army, and none of them are simple guys."

While speaking, he pointed to the Z-10 on the right side of their plane. Seeing everyone here looking at him, the pilot of the Z-[-] stretched out his thumb to signal here.

While chatting, a clear female voice came from everyone's earphones. "Dragonfly 1, this is Peiping, you have entered the fleet's 50-kilometer defense circle, please follow the instructions and fly."

"Dragonfly 1, understand, the indication signal has been confirmed, speed 330, altitude 3000, please guide boarding"

"Board No. 3, the direction of the fleet is due north, the speed is 12, boarding is allowed."

"Dragonfly 1, this is Flying Wolf 3, Flying Wolf 5, our escort mission is over, we are leaving now, I wish you all the best."

"Dragonfly 1 understands, I wish you all the best."

While speaking, the two Z-9s on the left and right sides of the Z-[-] lowered their noses and turned back to the northwest.

"Two heads, we are about to arrive at our destination, and the plane is in front of the Peiping"

Zhou Xiangyu looked along the young man's hand, and on the sea ahead, there were densely packed giant steel ships, two of which were huge aircraft carriers occupying the center of the fleet, shining dazzlingly in the afternoon sun.
