At the Xiaoshan Second Army Headquarters, amid the rumbling artillery fire, Ye Zhao received a call from Tie Linfei from Wuyishan Airport, "Brother Ye, I wish you a happy New Year." Tie Linfei seemed to be in a good mood, his tone revealing. Overjoyed, Ye Zhao said: "Yeah, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year." Then he said with a wry smile: "The war is so intense that I actually forgot about the New Year. If my brother hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known what day it was today." At this point, he paused, his tone changed, and he asked seriously: "Brother Tie, I heard from Xiaozhuang that you are planning to give Yamamoto a New Year's gift, and you are going to launch an air attack on the United Fleet."
"Yes, Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I was worried about leaking the secret, so I called after I started it."
"It's nothing. If we can really inflict heavy damage to the combined fleet, I'd love it. But I think it's possible to do one or the other. Yamamoto can't make the same mistake again. Brother Tie, the Xiaoshan war cannot be separated from the support of the aviation force. The attacking troops must exercise restraint. .”
"I know." When it came to business, Tie Linfei also became serious: "I have already told them that preserving their strength is the first priority. Brother Ye, I have a piece of news for you. Our Golden Eagle has been equipped with We have one division, don’t worry, the longer it takes, the better it will be for us.”
"The Golden Eagle is that kind of jet fighter." Ye Zhao became excited,
"Yes, this is still confidential."
"When can we provide equipment to our Zhejiang Southern Aviation Corps?"
"This depends on the commander-in-chief's wishes."
"I'll call the Commander-in-Chief later. Brother Tie, you're not kind. Why did you tell me now?"
No matter what the rumors are outside, and how the Xuebing Army itself controls public opinion, the real situation is that the rise of the Xuebing Army is inseparable from the use of advanced weapons. It can even be said that there are no two types of firearms, the Wei Qing style and the Qubing style. , there would be no rise of the Xuebing Army in Renqiu, and the reason why the Xuebing Army was able to grow rapidly in North China and crush the Japanese army's many encirclement and suppression campaigns relied on Jiguang tanks. When the Xuebing Army took over Guangdong and annexed the old Cantonese clique, The Baiji Dolphin, Sky Fortress and self-propelled artillery have played a vital role. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the rise of the Xuebing Army is actually the history of the development of various advanced weapons. To be more specific, each of the Xuebing Army There will be signs of scientific and technological progress in the future. A layman will watch the excitement, and an expert will watch the door. Big guys like Ye Zhao are naturally aware of this, so they are so willing to spend every penny when competing for advanced weapons. Absolutely without the magnanimity and demeanor of a superior person,
The Golden Eagle is a second-generation fighter aircraft that the Xuebing R&D Institute has focused on developing during this period. Compared with the Baiji Dolphin, the most outstanding feature of the Golden Eagle is its speed and maneuverability. During the test flight of the Golden Eagle's first test aircraft, the speed was easily exceeded Eight hundred kilometers, and the current model has a top speed of more than 1,100 kilometers per hour, which is nearly twice the zero combat speed of the latest Japanese fighter aircraft. Ye Zhao is no longer expert in the air force, so Being able to see who is better and worse through this comparison, it is no wonder that he would put aside the dark and unclear war in front of him and devote himself wholeheartedly to the battle for the Golden Eagle.
Tie Linfei had expected this situation before he threw the golden eagle, but in order to get Ye Zhao to fully support this action against the combined fleet, he could only use this big killer weapon. "Hehe" he laughed twice. He said: "The Commander-in-Chief ordered it to be kept secret, and there is nothing we can do about it. Brother Ye, I have something to discuss with you. Chang Linchun's Second Rocket Artillery Brigade is near Xiaoshan."
"Well, what do you mean?" Ye Zhao smelled the conspiracy, and his tone immediately changed,
Sensing this change, Tie Linfei coughed a little awkwardly and said, "For the sake of safety, please ask them to cooperate with this operation."
"You're not sure, you're in trouble if you're not sure," Ye Zhao became angry.
After deciding to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army, Ye Zhao felt that the stakes in this battle were too important, and Ye Zhao's emotions became unstable. He did not feel this change himself, so there was a huge gap in his tone, and he did not I feel inappropriate,
Tie Linfei on the opposite side smiled bitterly and slowly explained: "Originally we were sure, but judging from the reaction of the Japanese army just now, they obviously want to take the opportunity to air attack our forward airport. I am worried that the Japanese army still has spare hands, so for the sake of safety, .”
It was okay that he didn't explain. Once he explained, Ye Zhao became even more angry and interrupted him directly and shouted: "Tie Linfei, you have gone too far. Didn't you pass this matter through the headquarters?"
The other person replied weakly "Yes",
Ye Zhao's lungs almost exploded with anger.
In this decisive battle, the Second Army had no strength advantage. It only relied on heavy artillery units, rocket launcher units, air defense units, and tank units. There is a prerequisite for these technical units to be effective. Then It is our own side that must control the air. Otherwise, if these technologies are not correct, they will become targets for Japanese bombings. At this time, Tielin Fei intervened and carried out this air strike with unpredictable results. That is playing with fire. , Of course, it is impossible to fight without risk. From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with Tie Linfei playing such a skill, but the problem is that now Ye Zhao simply cannot afford it.
"Tie Linfei, you must cancel this operation immediately." Ye Zhao yelled on the phone, hung up the phone immediately after yelling, then picked up the phone again, dialed the main station, and shouted angrily: "I am Ye Zhao, pick me up from Ningbo Airport and let Wang Hai and Xue Changkong answer the phone."
Zhang Gongming happened to be in the telecommunications room watching the battle report sent back by Feng Banyu. When he heard Ye Zhao's roar, he put away Feng Banyu's telegram and ran to the headquarters. When he entered, he heard Ye Zhao getting angry at Xue Changkong. He immediately ordered the attacking troops to break away from the battle and return to the sky above Xiaoshan: "Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? Our primary goal now is to defend Xiaoshan. I don't care. You call Wang Hai immediately and let him come back dead."
Zhang Gongming hadn't seen Ye Zhaofa be so angry for a long time. After he put down the phone, he handed him his teacup and then asked: "Commander, what happened."
Ye Zhao just yelled, his throat was on fire, and he took a big gulp of the teacup, then slammed the teacup on the table, and said angrily: "Tie Linfei actually went to bomb the United Fleet in broad daylight, Wang Hai, a bastard, can't do such a big thing He didn’t ask for permission to report, and Zhuang Houzhong must have known about it, but he didn’t report it.”
The battle plan for the decisive battle with the Japanese army in the near future was worked out by Zhang Gongming and Ye Zhao. They also knew the importance of air supremacy to this plan. Zhang Gongming's face also became ugly. After thinking for a few seconds, he frowned. Said: "It seems that we need to make a suggestion to the commander-in-chief that each legion must have absolute command over the aviation forces under its jurisdiction."
Ye Zhao finally calmed down at this time. He shook his head and sighed: "It's too late now, let's try to make up for it." He took a long breath, picked up the phone and asked for Li Liang, and after the call was answered, he calmly ordered Li Liang's department immediately. Move to Xinjie Town and build an air defense position there. At the end, he said painfully: "Don't be afraid of sacrifice. As long as you can divert the attention of the Japanese planes, you will be remembered for your great contribution."
