This unprecedented large air battle continued. The Chahar air force became more and more brave under the leadership of Gao Zhihang. He commanded the fighters to take turns to fly back to the field airports set up in various places to refuel and reload, and then return to the battlefield to continue participating in the war.

The hundreds of outstanding students selected from Chahar Aviation School were ordered to drive brand new fighter jets from the logistics department warehouse to various field airports on the front line. These rookies who had just entered the aviation school for more than half a year must have only served food when they were allowed to participate in air combat, but there was no problem asking them to drive the planes to various field airports.

Su Tong also instructed the ground to rescue pilots who were parachuting in our control line at any cost and send them to the field airport closest to the parachuting location, where brand new fighter jets were waiting for them.

After an emergency examination by the doctor, the plane could be re-launched as long as the physical condition allowed. Chief Su said that as long as there is a pilot, it would be fine, the plane is nothing.

Although this battle is not necessarily the last, it can definitely be said to be an unprecedented and tragic air battle. It was carried out until one o'clock in the afternoon. The Japanese army, which suffered heavy losses, could not hold on. What people did not expect was the first to retreat but the Fifth Flying Division of the Kwantung Army, who joined the war in the end.

In fact, after more than an hour of air combat, the Fifth Flight Division had lost more than 70 aircraft. When Lieutenant General Shinsi saw the losses reported by various flight regiments, he was bleeding in his heart. These are all elites of the Kanto Army aviation. He lost one-third of the aircraft in just one hour, and it took nearly half a year to replenish it.

When the air battle was coming to an end, the loss of the Fifth Flying Division reached nearly 200. General Shinshi Hara, who was already worried about vomiting blood, finally couldn't help but give the order to retreat.

The retreat of the Fifth Flight Division was like the last straw that broke the camels. The pilots of the North China garrison could no longer hold on and retreated.

Gao Zhihang took the opportunity to command the fighter jet group to cover up the killing, and chased after the opponent's air defense position before returning in disappointment. At this point, the large air battle that shocked China and the world finally came to an end.

In this air battle, the Japanese side lost 387 aircraft, Chahar lost 125 fighter jets, and 53 pilots were sacrificed. Such a low personnel loss rate is due to the heavy armor protection of the rescue personnel sent by Chahar and the P47 fighter jets in a timely manner.

As for the Japanese Army, according to conservative estimates of the Chahar Air Force, at least more than 200 pilots have been lost, and the actual data may be improved.

After the war, countries and Japan conducted detailed research on this sudden air battle that neither side prepared, they were surprised to find that the cause of the air battle was that the Japanese side sent planes to the nearby Chahar oil field for reconnaissance, and then encountered the patrol of the Chahar Air Force, and the two sides exchanged fire.

Originally, if both sides were rational in this matter, a large-scale air battle would not have occurred. However, the Japanese army touched the most sensitive oil-producing area of ​​Chahar's political axe, which made their commander General Su Tong misunderstand that the Japanese army was going to bomb his lifeblood, Duolun's oil refinery and oil fields, and tragedy was born.

During this air battle, Japan lost all Japan's aircraft production for nearly a year. At this time, Japan did not transfer to the wartime economy. The annual output of the aircraft was only more than 400, and nearly 40% of the aircraft in China, and more than 200 pilots who had been trained for many years were killed. Such a big thing could not be kept. As soon as the Japanese media exposed it, all Japan was in an uproar. The voices of demanding Mijiro Umezu, the commander of the North China garrison Army were dismissed from class. In the end, the Japanese military had to transfer Mijiro Umezu back to Japan and transferred to the reserve service, and General Tada Jung took over Mijiro Umezu.

Later, Western media jokingly called the air battle a bloody incident caused by a patrol, which brought Japanese people the losses of hundreds of aircraft and the deaths of more than 200 pilots.

After the end of this air war, which was called the 328th victory by the Chinese people, the country was filled with joy, and the Chahar Air Force became the pride of the Chinese people. After the end of the air war, the Congress Party, the Social Labor Party, as well as people from all walks of life and patriotic groups all sent commendations and congratulatory messages to Chahar Zhengfu and Su Tong. Some people even launched a proposal in the National Civil Affairs Axe, proposing that March 28th of each year will be Air Force Day.

After this air battle, the Japanese were completely honest for a while. They turned a blind eye to the so-called exercises on the border of Chahar, and just asked the ground troops to increase their vigilance. As for air patrol, let it go. Didn't you see that Commander Mijiro Umezu was transferred back to China for fishing because of this incident?

The day after the air battle, celebrities and military and political officials from all walks of life arrived in Zhangjiakou on various means of transportation. Due to the influence of the 328 air battle, the most transport modes of transportation among the local officials was still the planes.

At the same time, domestic and foreign media have sent capable people to Zhangjiakou to report on the wedding of the Iron Blood General of China, yes, some people call it the mad general.

In the cave in Yan'an

The Social Labor Party is holding an extraordinary meeting, which is about whom to send to attend the wedding of General Su Tong, Chairman of Chahar, the 37th Army.

Taizu lit a cigarette and smiled at the attendees and said, "Everyone is discussing who to send to the General Su's wedding."

Renbi smiled and said, "I think it's good to let Comrade Enlai go. Comrade Bo Cheng and Comrade Jian Ying can also go. We have to thank them for your help. They have saved so many of our comrades. If we don't even say thank you, it will seem that we have no politeness."

"Well, okay, but we should go to someone else's wedding, so we can't go there empty-handedly. His family said what gifts should we bring?" Zhou Gong asked with a smile.

"Oh, this is a difficult problem. If we don't have a gift, we will be embarrassed to bring our comrades back." Taizu thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, I'll write them a congratulations, just treat it as our gift."

Everyone in the cave laughed and said, "Chairman, you are so stingy. They have helped us so much, just write a congratulatory message and send them away. This is too unkind."

Taizu smiled: "My way, who told us that there are no specialties here? Just ask him to just take a look."

On April 1st, which Westerners call April Fool's Day, a US-made Grass DC3 passenger plane took off from Nanjing. Its destination was Zhangjiakou. Member Jiang of the National Axe Military Commission and his wife, Ms. Song, were on board.

Mrs. Jiang, sitting in the cabin, looked at Baiyun outside the window and more than a dozen Il15 biplanes escorting, and said with satisfaction: "Darling, now there are fewer Japanese planes in the sky, almost all of which have disappeared."

The chairman snorted: "They just got a hard lesson from Su Tong, and they will definitely be honest for a while in the near future."

"Darling, don't do this." Mrs. Jiang gently held her husband's hand and said softly: "We are going to attend someone's wedding. When you get there, you can't teach people with a stern face as usual."

The chairman smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, don't worry, I know what to do. But Su Tong's strength has grown so fast that the central government can no longer control him."

"If you can't control him, don't control him. We can win him over." Mrs. Jiang comforted: "Besides, this Su Tong is so anxious that he can do anything if he gets angry. Look at how Japan is so angry that he will fight him. Stalin is so powerful. He still rushed into Siberia and turned it upside down. We can only be soft for such people."

The chairman nodded helplessly: "Yes, this person has already been won over, and that's all."

After half a day of flight, the plane passed through Shandong. Hebei provinces finally arrived in Chahar in the afternoon. As soon as the plane arrived at Chahar, the pilot in the front cabin came to report: "Report Committee, Chahar's plane is here to pick us up."

The chairman and his wife looked out the window and saw dozens of ugly-looking planes flying outside the window. They flew to the plane the chairman was on and then formed a guard formation on the periphery, accompanying the Glass DC3 passenger plane.

Mrs. Jiang asked curiously: "Is this the plane that makes Japan frightened?"

The chairman nodded and said, "It should be them. They have a strong air force." Mrs. Jiang heard a hint of envy in her husband's tone.

Soon, the plane slowly landed at Feilong Airport in Zhangjiakou. When Chairman Jiang got off the plane with his wife, he saw the crowds of people on the airport. Countless media remembered that they were erecting guns and cannons in hand.

Seeing such a huge scene, the Chairman's originally serious face suddenly showed a satisfied smile. Mrs. Jiang also held the Chairman's hand and smiled and waved to the crowd, showing her elegant and luxurious temperament.

At this time, they saw a group of people walking over quickly. In the middle was a soldier about twenty-five or six years old, with a medium figure and a pretty face. The three stars on his shoulders shining.

He quickly walked over to the chairman and greeted him loudly, "Chairman Chahar Zhengfu, commander of the 37th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Su Tong paid tribute to the chairman and wife, thanked the chairman and wife all the way."
