Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth unpredictable tomorrow
After hearing Yang Zhen's question, several leading cadres looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know how to answer. After a long silence, the deputy chief of staff of the aviation force, Liming, who led the team, finally answered: "No. 1,
Since we transferred here from the aviation training base of the Soviet Far East Military Region in April to learn to fly, the Soviet Union has had extremely strict control over us."
"They don't allow us to go outside the security perimeter of this airport, and they don't let us come into contact with the local residents at all. Everything we need is uniformly provided by the Soviet Union. They don't let us wear our own military uniforms, all of them
Replaced with Soviet military uniforms." Baidu search for the latest novels ""
Speaking of this, Liming took off the boat-shaped hat on his head and said: "I heard that there used to be a group of Mongolian students here who were also learning to fly, but they were all transferred to another base before we came. And there were originally local recruits here from Mongolia.
Some of the handymen were also laid off before we arrived."
"Everyone has been replaced by Soviets who were transferred from the Soviet Union. We have been here for half a year, and all we have come into contact with are Soviets. We have not even seen what the Mongolians look like. It's not just us here,
I heard that the airports the Soviet Union allowed us to land in in Mongolia were all like this."
"Our people are not allowed to go out of the airport, and the Mongolians are not allowed to get close to the airport. Moreover, there are Soviets monitoring us all the time. You are here this time. Otherwise, except for night flight training, we will not be able to get close to the airport on weekdays."
We can't even go out of the dormitory. Even the Soviet sentry posts are posted outside the dormitory building. They are afraid that we will slip out and meet the Mongols privately." Baidu search for the latest novels ""
"I heard that the Soviet Union has decided that after our group of trainees graduates, they will no longer use the Soviet aviation base in Outer Mongolia to train flight students and ground navigation personnel for us. The follow-up training of the military region and all personnel selected from within the customs will be transferred back to the Soviet Union
The Jiangbei area where the Far East Military Region is located. All navigation work here is also the responsibility of the Soviet Army."
"The Soviet instructor who was close to us also told us in private that this was an order from Moscow. I heard that it was an order personally given by the leader of the Soviet Union. At the same time, he also told us to be careful. They
The order we received was that if any of us went out without authorization and came into contact with local people, we would be shot without mercy."
Liming's answer made Yang Zhen frown tightly. Yang Zhen did not expect that the Soviets would strictly control the Chinese when they entered Outer Mongolia. It was not enough for Outer Mongolia to be forcibly separated from China from the Soviet Union.
Twenty years ago. The Soviets could not guarantee whether the Mongolians here still had feelings for China, and they would definitely tighten control.
Yang Zhen knew that the Mongolians did not welcome the Soviets and the so-called Mongolian People's Republic they fostered. The Soviet Union's domestic policies in Mongolia disgusted the Mongolians. It was only under the threat of force from the Soviet army.
, I just don’t dare to oppose it openly.
Although the Mongols want to be independent from China and restore the so-called glory of Genghis Khan, it is a very grand dream of the so-called upper class. But like now, all livestock are collectively owned, and traditional Lamaist beliefs are also forcibly banned. Lamas
He was forced to return to secular life and his temple was demolished.
Not only were they deprived of their faith, but they also had to endure economic oppression from the Soviets. Because there were no other markets, all livestock could only be sold to the Soviets at low prices. After the Mongolians sold their livestock, they could only keep their capital. For this kind of
The independence of Mongolia as a whole became a source of cheap meat products for the Soviets, and most people in Mongolia did not welcome it.
Moreover, according to the history that Yang Zhen understood, as early as after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, some Mongolian princes announced the existence of living Buddhas, but they did not receive the support of the majority of people. Even most of the Mongolian princes publicly expressed their firm opposition. Later,
It was directly suppressed by the Beiyang government sending troops.
If it were not for the turmoil in the domestic political situation at that time and the lack of financial resources caused by successive warlord wars, the Beiyang government had too much to take care of itself. In addition, the Soviet army directly sent troops to defeat a small number of Chinese garrison. What kind of so-called Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party was created by the Soviets?
There was no chance at all to create this freak who was attached to the Soviet Union and actually became a Soviet colony.
Yang Zhen initially used the excuse that Mongolia was at the link between Guan Nei and Northeast China and would train its aviation cadets in Mongolia, so that they could be selected from nearby Guan Nei. He moved part of the training of flight and ground staff from Jiangbei to Mongolia, just to get to know the Mongolians.
His real idea was that he didn't expect that the Soviets would do it so thoroughly.
In the eyes of the Soviets, once the true emotions of the Mongols are leaked, although there will not be much trouble, it will still cause some backlash in the international community. Especially after the Soviet-Finnish War last year, the Soviet Union suffered serious consequences from the West.
When the sanctions had just been somewhat eased, the Soviets did not want to cause any disputes because of Mongolia.
Of course, this method of the Soviets is not only aimed at the Chinese. Compared with the Chinese who are still allowed to enter the country, it is impossible for people from Western countries to enter Mongolia, let alone live in Mongolia. The Soviets are very interested in Mongolia.
The tightness of the control was far beyond what Yang Zhen could have imagined.
Although the Soviets did not regard the Chinese as their opponents, because at this time, China, which had been ravaged by war and the country was broken, was far from being an opponent in their eyes. However, the Soviets were very concerned about China's entry into Mongolia, which they had robbed.
The Chinese territory is still very guarded.
Even those who are comrades in the Anti-Japanese Federation, who they claim to be comrades, are subject to strict surveillance. Not only are these students strictly prohibited from contact with the locals, they even put all these students under house arrest in dormitories after the training as a precaution, just in case.
.
Yang Zhen was extremely dissatisfied with this behavior of the Soviets. After a long silence, Yang Zhen stood up, walked around the room for a few times, and said directly to Liming: "Since you are staying and can't get to the headquarters, I hope you can do it."
function, then withdraw them all.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "All three hundred of you students will be withdrawn after the basic training is completed. Don't leave any of them behind. The Americans have assisted us with a batch of new aircraft and flight instructors. From now on, your follow-up
All training should be conducted at home."
"The Americans' air combat tactics are much more flexible than those of the Soviets. In addition, the aircraft they are planning to take over are all American aircraft. You may as well withdraw from the country and learn more from the Americans. But you have to learn what you should and should not learn.
I have one thing in mind: Don’t learn everything from them.”
"As for the five hundred student pilots currently training in Khabarovsk, they will continue to stay there. After completing the training, they will directly take over the MiG-3 fighter jets and IL-4 bombers provided by the Soviet Union. After receiving a squadron, one will return to China.
Squadron. In the future, no more new trainees will be sent to Jiangbei. All pilot training will be conducted within the base area. Liming, you are the deputy chief of staff in charge of troop training of the aviation unit. You have to take care of this matter personally.
"
Perhaps because he is used to being in a high position for a long time, or perhaps because he is the commander-in-chief of a large army, Yang Zhen has now adapted to his status. Yang Zhen did not notice that the tone in which he explained the task lacked the previous attitude towards these old Red Army veterans.
He showed respect from the bottom of his heart. He was straight to the point, calling him by his name as he would his old subordinates.
Having participated in the Long March and an old Red Army background, Liming heard that the No. 1 commander of the military region in front of him, who was nearly ten years younger than himself, did not even dare to express his habitual explanation of work methods. He just nodded gently.
He nodded and said: "No. 1, please rest assured that I will definitely do what the headquarters requires."
Liming originally wanted to say something, but after seeing a hint of fatigue in Yang Zhen's expression and Yuan Zhiruo's somewhat complaining eyes, he swallowed back what he had not yet said. He just asked his subordinates to stand up.
, saluted Yang Zhen and said: "No. 1, you have been on the plane for a long time and you are already very tired. Let's go back first."
In response to Liming's farewell, Yang Zhen originally wanted to stay with them for a while. But when he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that this room was likely to be bugged by the Soviets, and then he closed his mouth again. He just waved lightly.
He waved his hand, indicating that they could go back to rest at dawn.
Seeing the people wearing Soviet-style military uniforms and boat-shaped hats as they left in the morning, Yang Zhen felt a little awkward in his heart. His troops were wearing other people's military uniforms. Although it was for a reason, Yang Zhen felt a little uncomfortable.
It was uncomfortable. In fact, Yang Zhen didn't know that his uncomfortable feeling was not due to the military uniform. At least when he first got off the plane, he didn't think the military uniform was too eye-catching.
But after talking to Liming, he suddenly felt disgusted by the Soviet military uniform. In fact, it was purely a psychological effect. The Soviets' domineering style towards the Chinese in Mongolia made him feel extremely disgusted. Yang Zhen
At this moment, I suddenly felt an extreme sense of disgust in my heart, and I wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
After being silent for a long time, Yang Zhen said to Yuan Zhiruo: "Tell the pilots to prepare for takeoff tomorrow as soon as possible tonight. Also, tell the fighter pilots to carefully calculate the flight range. If you can not carry auxiliary fuel tanks, don't carry them."
.The number of auxiliary fuel tanks imported by the military region last time was limited, and we cannot produce them ourselves. Once this kind of thing is used up, it cannot be recycled."
Yuan Zhiruo had no objection to Yang Zhen's first order. But to his second order, Yuan Zhiruo objected: "No. 1, we still have nearly half of the journey to Yan'an, and we have to pass through the Suiyuan area in the middle.
The enemy-occupied area. If the escorting fighter jets do not carry auxiliary fuel tanks, if there is any sudden accident on the road, our fighter jets will not be able to fly to Yan'an at all."
"For us now, the auxiliary fuel tanks are indeed very precious because they are not in large quantity and we cannot produce them ourselves. But compared with one fighter jet and one pilot, they are still not enough. Therefore, I suggest
It’s better not to issue your second order.”
"The Japanese army from Mongolia to Yan'an is the Mongolian garrison army, which is a separate organization from the Kwantung Army. Its aviation force is basically intact. There are no major battles in the battlefield inside the Kwantung area, so the aviation structure of the Mongolian army should be complete.
Yes, so we are very likely to be intercepted by Japanese aircraft along the way up the mountain."
"And No. 1, judging from its maximum range, after careful calculation, our fighter jets can indeed reach Yan'an without carrying auxiliary fuel tanks. But we must calculate the lead time, because none of us can predict what will happen tomorrow.
