The arrival of the First Eighth Route Army Air Force caused a sensation in Wuhan.
The Wuhan Base Camp had already received a telegram from Hu Zongnan, which made Chiang Kai-shek, who was extremely confused about the battle, feel a little relieved. While excited, Chiang Kai-shek actually asked his wife to go to the airport to greet him on his behalf.
The planes landed at Hankou Airport in turn.
After getting off the plane, considering that all the on-board ammunition was used up, Hankou Airport did not have daily ammunition, so it would not be able to replenish it for a while. If the enemy planes attacked the air force, there would be no power to fight back. Feng Dafei immediately asked the airport ground crew to give the plane.
come on.
During the war, the ground crew at Hankou Airport quickly filled up the oil. Feng Dafei directed the soldiers to push the plane off the apron and to the outside of the airport. In the surprised eyes of the airport guards, the Eighth Route Army concealed the plane.
The mottled camouflage cloth that was carried randomly on the plane was basically the same as the scenery of the surrounding woods. Feng Dafei then connected the guards with the airport guards, left a guard post, and then walked towards the exit.
When we arrived at the airport gate, Feng Dafei found a car parked at the exit of the airport. In front of a car that led the lead, the division commander's wife Ni Hua stood there with a graceful lady smiling. Needless to say, it should be a visit to Taiyuan for condolences.
Mrs. Jiang, who passed by the army, has been Soong Mei-ling.
Feng Dafei is an old Red Army student and a graduate of the first class of Huangpu. When he saw Chiang Kai-shek's wife, he couldn't tell what it felt like. He walked forward with a tough bullet and saluted a military salute: "Madam Jiang, Ni
Comrade Hua: Feng Dafei, captain of the Aviation Brigade of the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, reported, please give instructions!"
Soong Mei-ling smiled and nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Welcome to you, my Air Force Warriors. I am proud of you and proud of you!"
Ni Hua also had a smile on his face, and then Soong Mei-ling said: "Captain Feng, comrades: Thank you for your hard work, welcome you!"
After the greetings, Soong Mei-ling took the soldiers of the aviation brigade into the car and followed the guard car to the Air Force Guesthouse in Wuhan. There, she wanted to welcome the heroes of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.
After arriving at the guesthouse, Feng Dafei didn't bother to greet Soong Mei-ling anymore, and urged him to arrange his residence and let the radio set up an antenna to turn on. As soon as he settled down, Feng Dafei was busy contacting the central government to report on the achievements he had made and had to transfer to Hankou Airport.
Reasons, request instructions and approval to contact the Wuhan Eighth Route Army Office. Then, they sent a report to Liu Yimin to report on the combat situation and the situation of meeting Ni Hua. Then, they sent a telegram to Cheng Qian, commander of the First War Zone, asking about the bombing at Luoyang Airport and
Will the hidden airport start construction?
After sending the telegram, Soong Mei-ling's adjutant came to urge him to have a meal in the restaurant.
When Feng Dafei and his comrades walked into the restaurant, there was a thunderous applause in the restaurant. When the applause stopped, Soong Mei-ling's adjutant guided Feng Dafei and his comrades to sit down and wait for Soong Mei-ling to deliver a speech.
Since the beginning of the Wuhan Battle, Soong Mei-ling has worked day and night, and has also visited the front line to express condolences to the troops many times, and was once injured. However, no matter how hard it is, it cannot stop the Japanese army from attacking Wuhan. Now the Wuhan Battle is in the late stage, and Chiang Kai-shek has also evacuated.
Wuhan's determination. At this moment, the Eighth Route Army Air Force emerged from nowhere. The Japanese army cried and called their parents when they made a move, and asked Hu Zongnan's troops to take the opportunity to counterattack and defeat the elite 3rd Japanese division. How could Soong Mei-ling not be happy?
Sure enough, Soong Mei-ling began to speak happily: "My Air Force Warriors: After our air strike at Taipei Songshan Airport, our 18th Army Air Force reported another good news, and within one day it attacked Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Anyang and Shanxi.
At the Japanese airport, it destroyed more than 120 Japanese planes, reversing the battlefield situation in Shanxi and Henan in one fell swoop. This morning, the 18th Army Air Force was ordered to reinforce the Xinluo battlefield, destroy the artillery position of the Japanese Third Division, and then bomb the Japanese infantry position, in cooperation with
The 17th Army launched a counterattack, defeating the elite 3rd Japanese division in one fell swoop, forcing the enemy back to the front line of Luoshan County, and made great contributions. Facts have proved that as long as we support the leadership of the leader and insist on the national unity and fight against the war of resistance, we will definitely be able to defeat the brutal ones.
The Japanese devils ushered in the dawn of the War of Resistance.”
Soong Mei-ling made great contributions to the construction of the Chinese Air Force. She has always regarded herself as the mother of the Air Force. When she talks about the Air Force, she is used to saying "my Air Force". Today, she was excited and said "my Air Force Warrior" several times, "my Air Force
Hero”, this sounded both friendly and pleasant to the soldiers of the National Army. Someone present was excited and burst into tears, and stood up and shouted slogans. But the Eighth Route Army Air Force was built by Liu Yimin, so what's the matter with Soong Mei-ling?
In addition, many of the Eighth Route Army pilots, navigators, shooters and bombers were selected from the old Red Army. They had no good feelings for Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling and had no intention of being excited when they saw Soong Mei-ling. So, what Soong Mei-ling said was indeed
Not bad, but none of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Air Force applauded.
After Soong Mei-ling finished speaking, no one from the Kuomintang army said, because in July, the Aviation Commission had moved to Guiyang. The actual person responsible for the combat command of the Wuhan Battle Air Force was Zhou Zhirou and Mao Bangchu, but they were very busy and had no time.
Come to the welcoming banquet.
Out of etiquette, at the invitation of Soong Mei-ling, Feng Dafei also stood up to speak, the general idea was that everyone was responsible for resisting Japan and saving the country. Unite and resisting Japan was the consistent proposition of the Communist Party of China. The Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade was ordered by Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De to cooperate with the First War Zone, Five
In the war zone, we should fight bravely to fight the enemy and complete the task. Although the initial battle achieved results, the Japanese aviation forces were strong. Next, our army should adopt flexible and maneuverable strategies and tactics, fight tenaciously with Japanese aircraft, cover the ground troops to defend Wuhan, and resolutely
Frustrated the Japanese army's conspiracy.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Air Brigade boarded the plane early in the morning, and now they were already hungry. As soon as the speeches were over, they started eating immediately.
This guesthouse is mainly responsible for the life of the Volunteer Team of the Soviet Red Army Air Force, and also the life of a French Volunteer Team, which makes Western food. The French Volunteer Team went to the rear of China to adapt to Japanese aircraft. During the Battle of Shanghai, the fighter planes were completely lost, and the pilots also
Most of them died, leaving only a few pilots and ground crew members. Most of the dining rooms were Soviet Red Army Air Force Volunteer Team and National Air Force soldiers.
In the war era, there was a shortage of supplies. Although it was Western food, there were no Western dishes such as steak, let alone big dishes. That is, canned food, bread and soup. In this way, the soldiers also ate it with relish.
Ni Hua didn't expect to meet comrades here. From the airport to see Feng Dafei and the others, her face kept smiling. At this time, she even picked up vegetables and served soup for the soldiers, and was very busy. When she finished her busyness
The soldiers basically finished eating.
Many of these soldiers did not know Ni Hua, but those who knew Ni Hua knew that she was the wife of Commander Liu Yimin and the Red Bodhisattva in the Red Army. The soldiers who did not know felt that this beautiful woman was kind and very kind,
Moreover, that kindness is a kind of kindness that only exists among comrades, without any falsehood. It is a surprise to see the legendary Dr. Ni here when you know the soldiers, so you naturally laugh.
After dinner, Feng Dafei directly found Soong Mei-ling and suggested to her that the ammunition supply and command and coordination issues must be resolved as soon as possible. The command and coordination issues are easy to solve. Soong Mei-ling immediately instructed an adjutant to serve as a liaison officer and asked him to report to Mao Bangchu immediately to solve the command and coordination issues.
Ammunition supply is difficult to deal with. Hankou has no daily aircraft and no daily aircraft-based weapons, and aviation bombs are also imported from Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union. In the end, the two agreed to make the arsenal moved to Chongqing to be modified as soon as possible.
The machine guns and machine guns were removed and replaced with imported ones from the Soviet Union. But after a while, the Eighth Route Army air force would have to be unable to take off for a while.
Neither Feng Dafei nor Soong Mei-ling expected that when they were about to leave the restaurant, Zhou Zhirou rushed over and solved the ammunition supply and command coordination issues of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade.
According to Zhou Zhirou, after the Guangdong-Guangxi Incident was resolved, not only did the Guangdong Air Force take it back to the Central Committee, but Chen Jitang's aviation ammunition reserves also belonged to the Central Committee. There was a batch of daily aviation ammunition in it, which should have been supported by the Japanese at that time. Because the Central Air Force did not have daily aircraft, the Central Air Force did not have daily aircraft.
This batch of ammunition has been in stock, and has been shipped to Nanjing from Guangdong and Wuhan from Nanjing. I was considering whether it was necessary to transport it to Chongqing, the Eighth Route Army Air Force arrived. It just so happened that there was no need to waste transportation capacity anymore, so I directly allocated it.
The Eighth Route Army Air Force is just used.
When they heard that it could solve the ammunition supply, Soong Mei-ling and Feng Dafei couldn't wait to ask to go to the warehouse to check it out. The group left the restaurant and took a bus to the war preparation warehouse to check it out on site.
When I went to the warehouse to open the ammunition box, I found that it was indeed a daily aviation ammunition, from aviation bombs to artillery shells and machine gun bullets. And the batch was large, enough for the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade to take it for a while.
After reading the ammunition, Soong Mei-ling said hatefully with her Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "The Japanese ambition not only provides Chen Jitang with infantry equipment and military advisers, but also provides so much aviation ammunition, which is clearly to support Chen Jitang in severance and rebellion.
Just so happen, we use their ammunition to blow them up, which is considered to be a use of everything. This is called retribution in this life!"
Zhou Zhirou agreed and said, "What the wife said is very true, what the wife said is very true." Feng Dafei felt goosebumps all over his body, and he felt that the whole army was probably in this style. What a great official, when he met Chiang Kai-shek and his wife.
He was busy flattering.
After the resentment of Soong Mei-ling, she turned around and said to Feng Dafei: "Captain Feng, the chairman told me that you are his student and said you are from Huangpu Phase I. The students from Huangpu Phase I fought the Eastern Expedition with the chairman and died.
Many people, who survived were outstanding people, all fighting on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. The chairman said that among the previous students of Huangpu, he spent the longest time with the first class students and devoted the most effort. The students of Huangpu First class were also
He relies the most and trusts the most. You will follow me to meet the chairman later. He will commend the achievements of the Eighth Route Army Air Brigade and tell you about the friendship between teachers and students."
Feng Dafei had no choice but to lead the first aviation brigade to Wuhan. What I worry most about when I go to Wuhan is how to deal with Chiang Kai-shek. Because it is now a united war of resistance, I cannot break up with Chiang Kai-shek. Whatever I am afraid of is what I am, Soong Mei-ling really takes Feng Dafei's
Huangpu originated from talking about things.
Feng Dafei was thinking, but others didn't know what he was thinking, but he said, "Thank you, Chairman Jiang for summoning him. I was also about to tell him about the fighter jets, fuel, ammunition and funding issues of our Eighth Route Army Air Brigade."
Soong Mei-ling was stunned, her beautiful eyes were filled with power, and gently swept Feng Dafei's face. Seeing that Feng Dafei's face was not angry or happy, she still had the same attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant. She sighed in her heart and said, "Let's go",
Take the lead in walking towards the car.
Sitting in the car, Soong Mei-ling closed her eyes and thought silently, why are the Communists always in a state of being inactive? Liu Yimin is like this, Feng Dafei is like this. It seems that some of Darling's ideas are difficult to realize.
.
After meeting Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Dafei still saluted Chiang Kai-shek in a proper manner and reported that Feng Dafei, the captain of the Aviation Brigade of the 18th Army, reported to the Chairman for instructions.
When Chiang Kai-shek heard that Feng Dafei did not call the principal and the chairman, he felt a little disappointed. He wished he ordered the guards to arrest Feng Dafei at that time. He endured it and felt that it was the time to use people, so he could not be with the Red Bandit who did not know how to respect his teachers and respect his Tao.
General insight.
My heart was cold and my tone became weaker. I briefly asked about Feng Dafei’s experience, said a few words to encourage the fight against Japan and kill the enemy, and waved my hand to let Feng Dafei leave.
Is Feng Dafei an ordinary person? He naturally knew the reason why Chiang Kai-shek ended the summons, but he didn't care. After saluting, he returned to the guesthouse.
After arriving at the guesthouse, the Chairman's telegram had already arrived, and he reminded Feng Dafei to contact the Wuhan Eighth Route Army Office in time, lead the team well, remember to keep a flexible and maneuverable word, and try to avoid head-on encounters with the Japanese army. At the same time, the Chairman explained Feng Dafei's mission to the First Aviation Brigade
It is to support the first and fifth stages of the war zone. The base should be in Luoyang. After the Luoyang Airport is repaired, it should be transferred to Luoyang quickly. If necessary, you can withdraw to Shaanxi Airport first. You must not evacuate to other places with Chiang Kai-shek.
After reading the telegram, Feng Dafei pondered for a long time, thinking that it would be better to return to Shaanxi Airport immediately after completing the combat mission tomorrow, so as not to have too many dreams and something unexpected happened.
Cheng Qian also sent a telegram saying that he had started to repair Luoyang Airport and began to build a hidden airport, but it took time.
The only person who did not reply to the telegram was Liu Yimin. Feng Dafei didn't know what he was busy with, but now he couldn't wait, so he had to contact him after returning to Shaanxi.
Things often do not change by human will. The Japanese army suffered consecutive losses and was already angry. On the second day after the Eighth Route Army Air Brigade arrived in Wuhan, the air force belonging to the Central China dispatched troops mobilized a large number of fighter planes to cover bombers to bomb Wuhan.
Air battles, which were larger than the "821 Air Battle" in history, were launched over Wuhan.
