In one air battle, the total number of losses of both warplanes reached nearly a hundred. Although its scale was not comparable to the tragic air battle of Great Britain, it was better than the "one", plus the Baiji Dolphin and Zero Type. It has already enjoyed a certain degree of popularity and has quickly attracted the attention of many countries.
Because of Ouyang Yun's instructions, the Xuebing Army naturally wrote a special book and celebrated grandly. It happened that Mrs. Chiang was passing through Guangzhou and would take the Flying Fortress to the United States via India and then Australia. In this battle, three Zeros were shot down through fighting. Chen Chong happened to be a student of the Central Aviation School and had been received by Madam, which aroused the deep concern of Madam Chiang and her entourage.
Wang Hai didn't know whether the Japanese army would launch a larger-scale retaliatory air strike, so he asked Liu Xuefeng to bring Chen Chong to Guangzhou to receive the award and cooperate with the propaganda work of the Political Department of the General Headquarters. Guangzhou held a city-wide parade for them. Chen Chong stood shyly in the compartment of a pickup truck with a red face. On his chest was a huge red flower. Above the red flower was the eye-catching "Ace Pilot" logo used to record the number of enemy planes shot down.
In order to cooperate with Mrs. Chiang's trip to the United States, Chongqing set up an office in Guangzhou. Mrs. Chiang was standing on the balcony on the third floor of the office, looking down at the noisy crowd below, "That young man looks so familiar. ." She said to an attendant beside her,
The attendant had followed her for many years. He looked at her carefully and said, "It looks like Chen Chong from our Central Aviation School. Yes, I remember this person."
"Let me tell you, Xiao Fang, how much water do you think it contains?"
Xiaofang thought for a while and answered cautiously: "There must be moisture, but it's hard to say what proportion it accounts for."
Regarding the issue of Mrs. Chiang's travel route, Chongqing held several discussions with Guangzhou, and finally decided on the current route based on Washington's opinions.
Mrs. Chiang had no choice but to cross the border to Guangzhou, but since she entered the territory of the Xuebing Army, she felt that she was too late. It was not that she was too late. To be precise, it was because Chiang Kai-shek's confidants came too late. ,
Compared with Chongqing, which was in tatters due to Japanese bombing, Guangzhou is a different kind of existence, with orderly streets, cars coming and going, tall buildings, shops with rich products on both sides, and calm people." This is Guangzhou." This was the doubt that arose in Mrs. Chiang's mind when she first arrived in Guangzhou.
She had heard about the affluence of Guangzhou earlier, but seeing it with her own eyes still made her feel incredible. In fact, not only Guangzhou, the central city of the cadet corps, but also Guangxi, which had just been placed under the jurisdiction of the cadet corps, had already revealed its relationship with the cadet corps. The difference between the areas under the jurisdiction of the Central Military Commission is that there are many refugees in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the people are generally disheveled, and the land is deserted and a scene of decay. In Guangxi, all roads are being built, and the countryside is green and lush. Although the local people are also The face is dishy, but the expression is peaceful, and there is a natural vitality in the eyes that only comes after spring.
"To generate electricity for Chongqing and to take credit for the meritorious personnel, this is also a victory for the country after all." Mrs. Jiang watched Liu Xuefeng and Chen Chong disappear around the corner of the street and said to Xiao Fang,
Xiaofang obeyed the order and went back to arrange for the telegraph personnel to send the report.
In the city of Guangzhou, there are many third-party forces that are also paying attention to the parade, such as the Guangzhou branch of the Japanese Anti-War League,
After the news of the Zhoushan victory was revealed, Takahashi Ryoko realized the true intention of the cadet army's long-distance attack on the military ports of Sasebo and Nagasaki. He had stayed in Guangzhou for a long time and was engaged in anti-war work. In addition, he had an affair with a Chinese man. With such a relationship, Takahashi no longer rejects Xuebingjun in her heart. Some of the secrets in her heart seem to be being wiped away with the passage of time. However, once some things have happened, it is impossible to ignore them. She has forgotten them. After passing the past, can the past be able to forget her?
The victorious party celebrates grandly, but the defeated party
The leader, Chuichi Nagumo, realized something was wrong when the fourth and fifth ship bomber groups returned home. With so many fighter planes out, less than two-thirds came back. Even if the air raid was successful, the battle losses were real. It was too big. Then, when I received the report, I learned that the ship-bomber group had not completed the bombing mission at all. They threw the bombs directly into the sea and fled back in panic. The old Japanese was so angry that he held the command knife tightly in his right hand. Holding the knife hilt, he gritted his teeth and held back his anger, fearing that if he couldn't control himself, he would just draw the knife and hit someone.
In the Japanese Military Ministry, when the battle report sent by Chuichi Nagumo was announced, the senior officials of the Navy Ministry headed by Isoroku Yamamoto all sat upright without saying a word, their faces as dark as water, while Hideki Tojo jumped up and became arrogant. He yelled extremely: "Is this the so-called elite aviation force of the Royal Navy? Shame, shame of the empire, Bage Yalu, these bastards actually have the nerve to come back, I thought everyone should go to a military court to accept it Severe punishment will not be enough to quell public anger."
In Washington, the Americans learned of the news a little later. Marshall immediately convened a meeting with officers from the Army Aviation Department. After the meeting, a resolution was passed and submitted to President Roosevelt, hoping to formally submit it to the Chinese government during this meeting. Xuebingjun proposed the purchase of a baiji dolphin production line.
In London, after Churchill obtained this battle report from the U.S. government, he ordered the relevant departments to re-examine the issue of alliance with the cadet army, and then called the British Army Headquarters in India, hoping that Wavell and Ouyang Yun would strengthen their contact, and through the cadet army With the help of the army, we will restructure the Far East Aviation Force to reverse the passive situation in the Far East.
In Berlin, for the first time, the German military realized the sharpness of the Far East warlord group, the Xuebing Army. In view of the fact that the German Air Force failed to annihilate the British Air Force in the Battle of Great Britain, someone suggested whether to negotiate with the Xuebing Army in order to Able to obtain more advanced fighter technology to further enhance the Third Reich's air combat capabilities,
In the Soviet Union, due to the support of the Chongqing government, the Soviet military has harvested the technical parameters of the Baiji through the Soviet Volunteer Air Force. The relevant departments of the Soviet Union immediately imitated it, but because the Baiji and the Soviet Yi-type and Yak-type fighters currently in service are completely different categories , the engines were even more different, and the imitations were very slow to enter the city. The two prototypes failed to meet the military requirements. Therefore, after the information about the Zhoushan victory was transmitted to the Soviet Union, under pressure from the front line, the Soviet military began Seriously considering the possibility of introducing such a fighter production line directly from Guangzhou, after the relevant proposal was submitted to Prime Minister Stalin, the Soviet government also began discussions to deepen ties and establish cooperative relations with the Xuebing Army.
Among these countries, the most anxious and easiest to start work were naturally the United Kingdom and the United States. So, when Ouyang Yun was about to arrive in Karachi, Wavell gritted his teeth and caught up with the military convoy again, hoping that Ouyang Yun could give him a chance.
Negotiate again about purchasing fighter jets,
Ouyang Yun asked Guangzhou to publicize the Zhoushan victory with great fanfare. This was the purpose, so he met with Wavell reservedly and had serious discussions with him on related matters. In the end, Wavell paid nearly 3,000 yuan with permission from London.
At the price of 10,000 U.S. dollars, he signed a commercial agreement with the Xuebing Army to purchase fifty Baiji Dolphins and some accessories from Guangzhou at one time. Then, he signed a military agreement with Ouyang Yun on behalf of the British government to lease the Karachi military port.
At this point, Ouyang Yun's expedition to Karachi has a legitimate reason.
