As for my neighbor in Jiangbei, he went even further. In the early days of the Soviet-German War, faced with excessive casualties among pilots, several women's flying regiments were specially formed for air defense operations and for flying light bombers for night bombing. , even the Soviet women’s flying corps produced two double queens,
On the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet army, which faced huge manpower losses, not only formed a women's flying regiment, but also recruited more than one million female soldiers to guard key areas and perform ground air defense missions. The famous special film shot after the war Yang Zhen was deeply impressed by the movie depicting the female Soviet soldiers in World War II.
Of course, Yang Zhen does not intend to directly put female pilots into front-line air combat like Jiangbei, but Yang Zhen thinks it is still possible to use selected female pilots to undertake rear air defense operations. In this way, he can maximize the Male pilots were liberated and engaged in front-line combat,
However, Yang Zhen also knew that in order to achieve this goal, he must first convince the deputy chief of staff of the aviation force in charge of flight training. In fact, Yang Zhen could simply issue an order, but Yang Zhen did not want to use mandatory orders to express this determination. implement it,
After all, the Chinese people in this era are still very feudal, and it is difficult to accept women flying airplanes. Although the feudal consciousness is much smaller during the Anti-Japanese War and is not as strong as in Guan Nei, this work of persuasion is still difficult to carry out. , in the minds of many people, it is almost unimaginable for female soldiers to fly airplanes.
You must know that even in the United States, the most open country in the world, it is quite taboo for women to fly airplanes. Except for a few pilots and athletes, the skies of the United States are also not open to women. What's more, this is asking for China, which is much more conservative,
But if you can't do the job and just rely on orders to promote it, I'm afraid it will still be a problem in the future. You can't do nothing 24 hours a day and go to the aviation school to supervise whether they will let these female soldiers accept flying. Training, if the following work had not been done to change their inner thoughts, there would still be quite a lot of manipulation in pilot training.
If one body is not suitable, all these female soldiers can be eliminated. After all, women's physiology has their own uniqueness. It is still very easy to eliminate them by doing some tricks. So, can this order of mine be passed? To implement it, the key is to do a good job in persuasion.
Especially for cadres like Li Ming who have had unforgettable experiences, forcibly issuing orders can easily stir up bloody scars in their hearts. Even if they don't say it with their mouths, it is easy to create a silent barrier in their hearts, making them think... Ways to resist privately,
After thinking about the wording, Yang Zhen said: "Ling Ming, what you said is right. You can talk to me about some things, but don't talk to others. The words will end with me. You veterans who have experienced the Western Expedition, And those soldiers living in the Hexi Corridor will one day give you a clear explanation."
"Lao Li, I understand what you are thinking. You don't want to have any more female soldiers, lest when the battle fails, these female soldiers will repeat the mistakes of the Women's Corps of the West Route Army. After the West Route Army, the Central Committee will never Any independent women's combat unit that has been established as an organic unit has been established, except that the situation does not allow it, because we do not want the tragedy of the Women's Corps of the West Route Army to happen again."
"But whether we are selecting female pilots or female anti-aircraft gunners, I don't mean to let them go directly to the front line battlefield and have direct contact with the Japanese army, but to replace the male pilots and soldiers in the rear and serve as rear air defense preparations.
On duty, it is specially used to undertake air defense operations inside the base area."
"Female soldiers are attentive and generally have better ability to withstand pressure than male soldiers. We have selected a group of female pilots and female anti-aircraft gunners to serve as air defense in key areas at the rear. This can free up a group of precious male soldiers to participate in frontline battles. You see
Look, the number of pilots we have on hand right now is insufficient."
"Now we have to fight for front-line air supremacy, and we also have to take on the air defense of important areas in the rear. Now the troops are obviously insufficient and the burden is quite heavy. Moreover, I have a plan in mind. The number of male pilots is very high. We now have
The number of pilots engaged in actual combat and pilots in training is far from enough."
"And Jiamusi and Qiqihar in the rear are important military and industrial bases for our army in the future. Air defense tasks are very important. You are the deputy chief of staff in charge of training. You know better than me about the pilots we are currently selecting. The level of education and the
Directly proportional to the speed with which new pilots become combat effective."
"You also know very well how many American and Soviet aircraft we have on hand now, and how much combat effectiveness they have. I also know very well how you do it when you assign pilots. When you assign new pilots, you always do it in the same way.
Priority will be given to fighter jets, especially US-made fighter jets."
"As for the bombers and light bombers shipped from the United States and Jiangbei, how many of them are now in combat effectiveness and how many are still in warehouses waiting to be received? You know better than me. There are also MiG-3 fighter jets shipped from Jiangbei that have formed combat effectiveness.
Less than one-third."
"Indeed, the most important thing for us now is to fight for air supremacy, which is still secondary to the need for ground attack. But right now, it is a reality that the number of pilots cannot meet our current needs. We cannot always use these aircraft from the headquarters.
Let’s just throw them all in the warehouse and let them grow hair.”
"Especially the MiG-3 fighter jets with excellent high-altitude performance are urgently needed equipment for our air defense. Even though the Americans have provided a large number of fighter jets, I still tried my best to get these MiG-3 fighter jets from Jiangbei through exchange, just for this purpose.
Make up for the deficiencies in some aspects of US-made fighter jets."
"Jiangbei has now shipped all the planes, but because we don't have pilots to receive them, we have less than a hundred of them with combat effectiveness. This does not include the American fighter jets and attack planes that have been shipped, as well as the Soviet-made ones.
Light bombers and medium bombers.”
"The current situation is that the number of pilots we have on hand varies too much. According to our current number of reserve pilots, it will take at least two years to train enough personnel. I agree to relax the cultural standards for pilot selection. As long as
If you pass the literacy test, you can consider lowering the cultural level requirements appropriately."
"But even so, when the overall cultural level is too low, it will be difficult for us to quickly train enough pilots in a short period of time. If this situation continues, it will not only affect the subsequent development of our army, but also
What's more serious is that it will also affect certain parties' understanding and attitude towards us, and may even affect our military's efforts to obtain foreign aid in the future."
"This is extremely detrimental to our future development. You must know that without certain foreign aid and relying solely on our current conditions, it will be difficult to win a war with an industrialized country. The industrial base is too poor. If we have an army of hundreds of thousands of people and rely solely on capture to fight, it will only be a fantasy."
"The Japanese army is not the Kuomintang army before the Anti-Japanese War. It is a well-organized army that fights tenaciously and uses tactics at a very high level. Its firepower configuration is far beyond what the National Government army can compare with. When dealing with such an army, we Not only must we surpass them in terms of fighting will, but we must also find ways to constantly use various conditions to improve ourselves in terms of weapons and equipment.”
"Especially when there is no corresponding industrial base of its own, some targeted measures must be taken. The military region used the results of our operations in the autumn of last year and last summer, combined with the international situation, to win a certain amount of foreign aid. Of course, there are Our army fought bravely and achieved great results, allowing foreign parties to correctly understand that our strength is relevant."
"But it is more due to changes in the international situation. Although foreigners are richer than us, their money does not come from strong winds. If these foreign aids are delayed in forming combat effectiveness due to our own reasons, it will be a problem for us. A very bad impression for foreign personnel.”
"The MiG-3 fighter jets have poor mid- and low-altitude performance and short range. Compared with American fighter jets, they are indeed somewhat deficient in fighting for frontline air supremacy. In particular, their short legs result in short airborne time. This is very important in fighting for frontline air supremacy." , is a pretty big shortcoming.”
"However, its excellent high-altitude performance is not inferior to or even better than the various American fighter jets we have. Moreover, when used for internal air defense operations in base areas, its short legs are not a problem. I think that the various military services now have There is a huge gap in intellectuals, and it is impossible to recruit a group of female soldiers who graduated from the Puppet Manchukuo High School while all of them are allocated to the aviation force."
"Specially used to receive MiG-3 fighter jets. They are not sent to the front line. They are specially used to undertake air defense missions in base areas and military factories. Among them, those who perform outstandingly can be specially trained as flight instructors. As for anti-aircraft gunners, I want to deploy them. In the rear, serving as air defense for factories and cities, safety should still be guaranteed."
"At the end of the operation last summer, we captured the two major cities of Harbin and Qiqihar, plus Jiamusi and Mudanjiang. We now have four relatively large cities on hand, especially Harbin, which is the highlight of Northern Manchuria and has a large number of female students. , there is a lot of room for us to choose.”
"We can't hand over all these female students to the local government. It would be a pity to let them go home to give birth to children. They are all added to the teachers, and we cannot place them all. I can see that apart from the nurses and members of the art troupe, we It is absolutely possible to recruit a group of female pilots and soldiers to take on air defense tasks in some key areas to make up for the shortage of male pilots and soldiers."
"But let's make a deal first. When recruiting these female pilots, I want soldiers, not wives for your aviation force. As the deputy chief of staff of the aviation force in charge of training, you must put more effort into them as soon as possible. Let them form combat effectiveness and take over the important task of air defense within the base area."
At this point, when he saw Yuan Zhiruo coming in, Yang Zhen knew that there was another thing to urge him. He thought that he had said everything he should say, and also said some things that should not be said. This can be regarded as a sincere statement. Besides, he doesn't have much time to do more detailed ideological work. As for how much he can comprehend, it depends on himself.
