Li Feijun and Guan Fei looked at the B-29 being pulled out of the hangar, which was the cave, and their eyes almost glowed green.
"Captain, look at how graceful the lines of this plane are, how majestic the big wings are, and how ferocious the bombs are. This time I..."
Guan Fei began to tremble with excitement when he thought that he would be able to drive this bomber to cause trouble for the Japanese soon.
"Okay! Calm down quickly!" Li Feijun shouted.
Pang Qingyun's eyes were almost red with jealousy, "Captain, Guan Fei is too excited to get on the plane, why don't you let me go!"
"Get lost!" Guan Fei stood between Pang Qingyun and the bomber, "Old Pang, I'll teach you a lesson this time, and I'll let you go next time!"
"Tsk! I need you to make a proof?" Pang Qingyun said as he led the ground crew to quickly refuel and load bombs.
After everything was done, he patted Guan Fei on the shoulder and said, "Captain Guan, I am not convinced that your First Squadron will participate in the battle first this time.
So remember, you must treat me to a meal when you come back!
Remember, you must come back!"
Guan Fei's excitement slowly calmed down, "Don't worry, Lao Pang, you are not dead yet, I can't die before you!"
"Fuck off!"
"Good Le!"
After the nine bombers of the first squadron came out of the warehouse, Ding Yuntian also saw the fighter jets slowly coming out of the warehouse.
The third squadron is a fighter squadron, with a total of 36 fighter jets. Ding Yuntian led a team of 12 planes to escort it.
The fighter chosen was the Mercedes me262, which was the most advanced jet fighter during World War II, with a maximum dive speed of 870 kilometers per hour.
It is much faster than the propeller fighters commonly used today.
The main weapon is four 30mm MK108 cannons, and the secondary weapon is two 103 cannons.
This fighter plane defeated the Allied fighter planes on the Western battlefield and they could only attack their airports.
The only drawback is the slow turning speed, but these problems are nothing in front of the Japanese fighter planes.
After all the planes were released from the warehouse, all members of the entire flight brigade came to the airport to see off the combat members who were about to depart. This was the flight brigade's first battle.
As the order from the political commissar of the flight brigade was given over the radio, all the planes began to taxi and take off in sequence.
At 4:00 p.m., the Second Regiment finally arrived near Zhuozi Mountain and made contact with the Fourth Regiment lying in ambush there.
"Captain Da Kui, thank you for coming to support us!"
"Captain Wu, please don't thank me. Where is the main force of the Japanese?"
Wang Da Kui pulled Wu Changkong and asked about the situation of the Japanese devils. He couldn't wait any longer.
Wu Changkong was appointed later as the head of the group. He had some knowledge of Wang Dagui and others. He smiled and said,
"The Japanese were not advancing very fast, mainly because the horses of the Second Mongolian Cavalry Army could not run fast.
These traitors had participated in the large-scale mopping-up campaign in northeastern Shanxi some time ago, and then they rushed to Liangcheng without stopping, and then they went to Sandaying. They had not had a good rest for more than half a month.
Even the Japanese soldiers couldn't bear it, let alone the horses, many of them were starving and thin. "
Wang Dagui was puzzled. "The situation of the Japanese in Suicheng is very critical. The main force of the 26th Division should advance quickly, right?
At the speed they are rushing over here, are they here to collect the body of Kuroda Shigenori?"
Wu Changkong laughed, "I don't know whether we can collect the body of Kuroda Shigenori, but I know that if the two regiments of the 26th Division and the two battalions of the nd Independent Mixed Brigade are too fast,
If you are out of the protection of the enemy, there is a greater possibility that you will collect your own body."
Wang Dagui nodded, "Indeed, the Japanese 26th Division and the 5000nd Independent Mixed Brigade only have more than people in total, and they are definitely no match for our two regiments!
Captain Wu, how do you think we should fight?"
Just as Wu Changkong was about to speak, the signalman came running over with a telegram, "Captain, a telegram from the brigade commander!"
Wu Changkong took it and looked at it, then said happily, "Captain Da Kui, the brigade commander has sent us a big gift!"
After reading it, Wang Dagui said, "I knew that our independent brigade would have planes, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.
Captain Wu, the task of ground marking and communicating with the bomber formation will be yours!"
Wu Changkong was stunned and said, "Captain Da Kui, there is no problem if you do this!"
Wang Da Kui waved his hand and refused, "No, this is originally your group's battle, we are here to support you, don't think too much."
Wu Changkong said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Captain Da Kui, I'm superficial!"
"Captain Wu, you don't need to apologize. We are the Eighth Route Army, not the National Government or the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Whether it is our Second Regiment or the flying regiment that will arrive soon, they are all here to support your Fourth Regiment, so they should be under your command."
Wang Da Kui had no objection to who would take command. With so many Japanese devils, was he still afraid that there would be no chance in the future?
Wu Changkong was not polite. On the battlefield, one should take the lead, not drink at the table.
He picked up the radio and began to shout, "I am Wu Changkong, commander of the 4th Regiment of the Independent Brigade. If you hear me, please reply!"
The voice on the other end was a little noisy. "Hello, Commander Wu. I am Li Feijun, the flight captain of the independent brigade.
I am leading 9 bombers and 12 fighters to support your regiment."
"Hello, Captain Li. The main forces of the 26th Division and the Second Mongolian Cavalry Army have already passed Pingquan. They will be in our planned attack position in two hours at most. How long will it take you?"
It was the first time that Wu Changkong knew that the independent brigade actually had a flying squadron. This was a huge surprise to him.
After so many years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, apart from the Kuomintang government which still had some fighter planes, even the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the most powerful local warlord, did not dare to send out a bomber squadron.
"Captain Wu, please mark the bombing location. We will arrive on time!"
Li Feijun finally took his men into the sky, so he definitely needed to practice more and fly around. After the flight squadron was established, the number of times the planes were dispatched was very few.
This was because the fuel was too scarce. Wang Ye had no choice but to try his best to improve the pilot's skills instead of replenishing the fuel.
No matter how little practical experience we have, we have the advantage of equipment anyway. Even if we encounter Japanese planes in the future, we will not be afraid of the independent brigade's jet fighters.
At 5:56 p.m., Wu Changkong and Wang Da Kui received a report from scouts on the front line that a regiment of the Japanese cavalry vanguard had arrived at the ambush area.
"That's not right, Captain Wu, how come the Japanese cavalry arrived first? No matter how fast the cavalry can run, can they outrun the train?" Wang Da Kui was extremely puzzled.
Wu Changkong understood it clearly. "Captain Da Kui, you don't know that the main force of the 26th Division originally had 1.2 people."
