At Jianqiao Airport, six Typhoon fighter jets, four A400M tactical transport aircraft and three Airbus A330 MRTT aerial tankers sent by the German army later flew to a certain place. Of course, these are not available now.
There is a saying in the motto of the National Military Aviation School: "Our bodies, aircraft and bombs will perish together with the enemy."
Captain Gao, the commander of the Fourth Destroyer Group of the Air Force, was conducting Air Force flight training with his subordinates and the pilots of the rest of the flight team. At this time, the August 14th Jianqiao air battle had not yet broken out, but it was about to happen.
,
After the fall of Peiping, on August 14, 1937, the day after the August 13th Incident, 18 Type 96 land attack aircraft of the Luwu Air Force would take off from the airport on the other side of Wanwan Island.
Under the command of the captain, Major Shinichi Nitta, they bombed the Keqiao Airport across the sea.
The Japanese Army's 96 Land Attack Fighter is called the latest all-metal single-wing twin-engine aircraft by the Japanese army. It has a range of up to 4,000 kilometers. It can "bomb Singapore in the south and threaten sea cucumber-Wei in the north."
What the Japanese military calls the empire's finest industrial products.
The yellow "Hawker 3" destroyer fleet of the Fourth Group,
Continuously conducting flight training over the airport,
The 4th Fighter Group is the main force of the Chinese Air Force. The 4th Fighter Group, commanded by Captain Gao, has 21, 22, and 23 squadrons under its jurisdiction.
The Second and Ninth Flying Groups are undergoing military training at Cao'e Airport.
Captain Gao serves as the deputy commander of the training corps of the Air Force Flying Force, assisting commander Mao Bangchu in his work.
He required strict military training and careful command, so many pilots who participated in the training achieved great gains and improvements in their flying, air combat, and bombing skills.
Captain Li Guidan of the 21st Squadron, as well as pilot Chen Huaimin, Captain Mao Yingchu of the 23rd Squadron, Captain Zheng Shaoyu of the 3rd Team of the 22nd Squadron, Captain Le Yiqin of the 2nd Team of the 22nd Squadron, Captain Huang Guanghan of the 22nd Squadron, Captain of the 3rd Team of the 21st Squadron
Gong Yeti, Captain Li Guidan of the 21st Squadron, and a large number of well-known squadron commanders and pilots are also working hard on flight training.
And after training,
Captain Li, the leader of the 21st Squadron, also walked up to him and had a chat.
"Did you read the headlines about the fall of Peiping?"
"I heard that those damn Japanese invaders are burning, killing and looting everywhere in the fallen city of Beiping!"
"These damn Japanese invaders really want to fly over with planes and blow them all up!"
"What a pity! We are too far away from Beiping City, and there is no transit airport on that side for our planes to fly over for combat and refueling!"
"And now we only have a small number of Hawker 3 fighter jets even with BJ's more advanced aircraft!"
"Other fighters are completely inferior!"
"I don't know what our combat will be like when we encounter those excellent Japanese fighter jets!"
Captain Li, the captain of the 21st Squadron, came to Captain Gao Da,
He said straightforwardly.
Because the 4th Battalion at this moment was not later expanded into the 4th Wing. It has been equipped with P-47, P-51, AT-6, T-33, F-84G, F-100A/F, F
-5E/F and other aircraft models, and in 1997 became the first wing to switch to F-16A/B.
Most of the aircraft now are old aircraft that have been cheated by foreigners. The most advanced ones are the Hawker 3 fighter jets imported from the United States, and the quantities purchased are not very large.
So after the training, Captain Li, the leader of the 21st Squadron, couldn't help but sigh.
"Look! These damn Japanese troops, we will definitely inflict heavy losses on them one day!"
"So no matter what kind of old or new aircraft we are using now, we must conduct flight training well. As long as the Japanese aircraft attack our Songhu, or the capital, and nearby cities,
We can all take off at any time to attack and severely damage these damn Japanese aircraft groups!"
"Revenge for the soldiers and civilians of the fallen city of Beiping who were maimed by the Japanese army!"
Captain Gao also nodded, saying that he had also read foreign newspapers and domestic newspapers, and knew that Beiping City not only fell to the Japanese army, but also suffered from the Japanese army's murder of innocent citizens.
So he was also filled with righteous indignation.
"Yeah! Definitely!"
Captain Li, the leader of the 21st Squadron, also said firmly that he would do it, and responded affirmatively,
At this time,
Commander Zhou, the commander of the National Army Air Force, received something unexpected.
That is, just before the air battle broke out at Jianqiao Airport, they actually received a call to donate a batch of new aircraft to them.
And this call was made personally by Zhou Wenhua,
He plans to donate a batch of fighter jets to the National Air Force that are more advanced than the Hawker-3 fighter jets, namely the P-36 fighter jet, also called the Hawker 75 fighter jet. This fighter jet is the basic model for the design of the P-40 fighter jet.
machine.
So when he heard that Zhou Wenhua had donated 20 of these new fighter jets at once, his eyes immediately shone with gratitude.
Although the number is not very large,
But having 20 P-36 fighter jets that are more advanced than the Hawker-3 fighter jets will be even more helpful in the battle against the excellent Japanese fighter jets.
So it would be strange if Commander Zhou was not happy and grateful.
