Chapter 536 Going south!
Tonghe County,
Aviation school,
In the auditorium,
More than 450 pilots gathered together.
I am so excited.
In the passionate March of the People's Liberation Army,
Yin Xinjun, Fang Hao, Ding Shan, Tang Yantian and others walked into the auditorium.
The audience burst into warm applause.
After the four of them sat down on the rostrum,
Fang Hao tapped the microphone, cleared his throat, and said,
"Comrades, according to the order of the headquarters, in order to ensure the successful liberation of Northeast China, today our Mulan Military Sub-district's first air force combat unit was officially established!
I hope you will work hard, fight bravely, defend the blue sky and white clouds in our liberated areas, and fight for the liberation of all of China!
Next, please allow Comrade Yin Xinjun, the military sub-district commander, to present the flag! "
The soldier carried over a bright red flag with a few big words on the side: Mulan Military Sub-district’s 1st Air Strike Group!
This number was also thought up by Yin Xinjun, and it just happens to correspond to Ding Shan’s 1st Combat Group and Tang Yantian’s 1st Assault Group!
Yesterday, the long-awaited good news came from the Mulan Arsenal. The jet fighters and long-range bombers finally rolled off the production line. Today, the first air force combat unit that has been prepared for a long time was officially established!
The 1st Air Combat Group currently has two fighter squadrons, a bomber squadron, a reconnaissance squadron, and a ground support battalion!
A total of 10 fighters, 1 dive bomber, 4 B24 bombers and 3 trainers were converted into reconnaissance aircraft! This modification is also very simple, that is, the airborne aerial camera is installed under the cockpit! This can also be regarded as a simple technical innovation!
Zhang Wenjiu, commander of the 1st Air Attack Group, took the flag from Yin Xinjun and held it high, and the whole audience cheered!
Zhang Wenjiu took the microphone and expressed his inner thoughts.
"Dear leaders, on behalf of all officers and soldiers of the air strike group, I solemnly swear,
The eagle soars into the sky, the air force is invincible and invincible! "
Amidst applause, Zhang Wenjiu walked down the rostrum carrying the flag!
Yin Xinjun gave a summary speech at the end.
"Comrades, I am very excited today. From today on, we finally have an air force!
I have been a soldier for 14 years. I have experienced the Red Army period, the Anti-Japanese War period, and the Liberation War period. We have been bullied by enemy planes many times. From now on, we can also bully the enemy!
Today, after the hard work of tens of thousands of workers at our Mulan Arsenal, we can finally produce aircraft. Now we can produce not many aircraft, only three types, but they also cover trainers, fighters, and bombers. After New Year's Day next year, we will strive to open more production lines, including transport aircraft. In the future, our aircraft types will only become more and more, and better and better!
All the pilots present here were former infantrymen, and many are veterans of the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Anti-Japanese United Army. I hope that the commanders and fighters of the 1st Air Strike Group will display the revolutionary predecessors’ spirit of tenacious struggle, fearlessness of sacrifice, and fight to the end to liberate the entire Northeast and all of China!
Finally, I wish the air force officers and soldiers a successful start in the next battle! "
Looking at the excited faces in the audience, Yin Xinjun's heart suddenly felt sore. The Air Force will encounter the world's most powerful opponent, the United States Air Force, in three years. The chances of these people surviving the Korean War are probably less than 10%!
Just when everyone's hands were clapping until they were red, an officer ran up to the podium and handed Yin Xinjun a telegram!
This is a telegram with the highest level of confidentiality. The three letters AAA are printed in the upper left corner. The sender is the East China Field Army Headquarters.
Yin Xinjun opened the telegram, which read, "The main force of the Mulan Military Sub-district will immediately take the train south!"
The Liaoshen Campaign finally began! In fact, since July, a large amount of food, ammunition, clothing, and fuel have been continuously transported from Mulan to Siping!
Yin Xinjun had a blank expression on his face. For him, the only purpose of this battle was to train his troops. The morale of Chiang Kai-shek's troops in the Northeast had declined, and there were only a few troops that could fight!
He said into the microphone,
"Today's meeting ends here! Everyone disband!"
After that, he handed the telegram to Fang Hao.
Several people on the rostrum passed it around one by one.
Everyone's face showed excitement.
Go out, fight, and achieve merit!
This is the happiest thing for the soldiers! Especially since Jiang's army is not very good at fighting!
Fang Hao said first,
"Which troops will be dispatched this time?"
Yin Xinjun said,
"Everyone out! Those with disabilities, wives but no children, stay behind this time!"
After all, the Liaoshen Campaign was a battle that determined the fate of the Northeast, so he dared not be careless! He must have sent out all his best troops!
Fang Hao said,
"Commander, I'll go there too this time. I haven't been to the battlefield for a long time!"
Yin Xinjun was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was also a good opportunity to make merit and receive an award. It didn't seem appropriate to let anyone stay, so he nodded.
"Then I will stay and look after the house. If you encounter any danger, you must inform me in time!"
As night falls, the heat gradually dissipates and a gentle breeze brings a hint of coolness.
Liuhe Town Railway Station,
The lights are bright, the voices are loud,
A busy scene.
The chariots are lined up and stepping on the pedals to board the special train flatbed cars!
On top of the flatbed carriage, several soldiers stuffed square wood under the tracks of the tank, fastened the body of the vehicle with steel cables, and checked them one by one to ensure that there would be no displacement or rollover during transportation!
There were more than 600 vehicles in the First Assault Group alone, and it would take at least three trains to load them all!
The platform of the train station was filled with a solemn and tragic atmosphere.
The soldiers, carrying their luggage and weapons and equipment, lined up neatly on the platform, waiting for the order to board the train!
Groups of relatives gathered around the soldiers who were about to go to war, their eyes filled with endless concern and reluctance.
A mother held her son's hand tightly, trying hard to hold back her tears, and said in a trembling but firm voice: "My son, take good care of yourself and bring honor to the army." The soldier nodded heavily, his eyes full of reluctance to leave his mother and determination for the mission.
I don't know when it started, but a woman's low sobbing sound began, and then the sound became louder and louder. Soon, as if it was contagious, many people began to cry loudly. They knew in their hearts that tonight might be the last time they would see each other in this life!
In a corner, Kang Huaifu hugged Zhang Jing tightly and said,
"Jing'er, don't cry. I'm lucky. I've fought for so many years and nothing has ever happened to me!"
Zhang Jing's eyes were filled with tears. She nodded and choked up as she said,
"Huaifu, my child and I are waiting for your safe return!"
suddenly,
A sharp whistle sounded.
A majestic voice came from the loudspeaker.
"1st Assault Group Headquarters, 1st and 1nd Battalions of the 2st Tank Regiment, all officers and men aboard immediately!"
After a while!
The locomotive blew its whistle.
The train started to move slowly.
Leaving the platform! Heading south!
