Chapter 226 Who wouldn't want this birthday gift?
There is another question. How many fighter jets are left in Song Wenwan's hands now?
In fact, how could the above people not have thought of this problem?
It was just one hundred and thirty-six fighter jets, sent as a personal birthday gift.
This face is too much. No one can resist the sugar-coated bullet sent by Song Wenwan!
What the above means is that we have to accept it first and then talk about this batch of fighter jets.
As for other things, everyone knows that they still need to be done slowly.
Now is not the time to turn against each other, lest people talk about me and my eating habits become too ugly.
The chief of the aide-de-camp said to the air force personnel, "Don't be too anxious to be happy now."
Those air force members were all stunned and thought: Could there be any changes in this matter?
The chief attendant said this, leaving the audience in suspense.
He first raised the water cup in his hand and took a sip of water before continuing.
"The people from the First Aviation Division of Gannan said that they will give you three training aircraft as a gift.
This is the DH.39 Don multi-purpose advanced trainer aircraft that can accommodate four people.
It is specially used by your aviation school to train new air force pilots."
"Hahahaha, Commander Song has solved our urgent problem this time. He is really generous!"
This good news made the Air Force very happy.
However, the chief attendant and Yang Liren exchanged bitter looks.
Because there is one thing that neither of them said here.
The Gannan Air Command said that they would only send planes but not pilots.
If these planes are to take off and fight to form combat effectiveness, they will need the capital's air force and its own pilots.
Song Wenwan said that this was not because he was stingy, but because he was unwilling to hand over the trained pilots.
He just mentioned vaguely that most of the pilots of their Gannan Air Force were recruited from the Northeast Army.
The subtext is: they are all former members of the Northeast Army!
Now their boss is still imprisoned by you. If we really hand him over to you, would you dare to use him?
The people in the attendant room naturally didn't dare to do that! What if someone couldn't figure it out and dropped a bomb on their heads?
But let the Air Force solve the headaches on its own!
However, the air force people are not at a disadvantage either, as they have been in a situation of more people than planes for a long time.
Besides, there are still many planes in the rear.
But sending these old planes into the sky is equivalent to sending people away directly.
Now that the new fighter jets have arrived, it is a good opportunity for them to use them. It is said that good soldiers should be equipped with good swords to kill the enemy better!
As for what happened later, Yang Liren also explained it.
The head of the Military Affairs Department had already boarded the Gansu Army's transport plane and went directly to Longnan to meet with Song Wenwan.
It turns out that it takes at least a week for the Minister of Military Affairs to go to Longnan.
Now it's too fast. He left at noon and arrived in the evening to have dinner at the guesthouse in Longnan.
We were just getting ready to finish today's meeting when we saw a combat staff officer running in ecstatically.
He handed a telegram to Yang Liren and then took the initiative to leave.
After reading the intelligence, Yang Liren handed the telegram to the chief of the attendant's office with an incredulous look on his face.
After reading the telegram, the Chief of Staff said, "Please ask the Minister of Defense to preside over the meeting."
He left behind a back view and then hurried away.
As the door of the conference room opened, everyone could hear the sound of firecrackers outside.
Looking at the confused people in the conference room, Yang Liren spoke out the contents of the intelligence in public.
"I just received a nationwide telegram from Song Wenwan, commander-in-chief of the 46th Gannan Army.
Director Tang from the attendant's office has already rushed back to the attendant's office to report."
The Minister of Defense, who was now presiding over the meeting, said, "Director Yang, what did Commander Song say in his telegram?
Would you mind telling us a little bit? Let us be happy too, haha..."
Yang Liren had a very good memory, and he immediately recited the telegram to the bigwigs present.
"Recently, we learned that the Japanese invaders have stationed a squadron of fighter planes and a squadron of bombers at the Wuhan military airport.
On September 18, 1939, an air raid will be launched on the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in our temporary capital.
If the enemy goes, I can go too!
Our Gannan Allied Forces decided to fight back and vowed to deal a heavy blow to the invading Japanese invaders.
Today, the air force of the 1st Air Division is flying two bombers.
They did it at 10:00 a.m. on September 18, 1939.
The Japanese Expeditionary Force Headquarters in Wuhan and two field airports of the Japanese army in the suburbs of Wuhan were bombed.
According to the pilot's description, the Japanese Expeditionary Force Headquarters building in Wuhan has collapsed due to the bombing, and the number of casualties inside is unknown.
The runways of two field airports had been destroyed, and the Japanese oil depot hangars had also been bombed.
The exact number of Japanese planes destroyed by them is not yet known.
According to their observation, all twenty planes on the tarmac had been destroyed.
Until their bombers left, we didn't see any Japanese planes take off and chase our bombers.
Now the two bombers that were on the mission have returned successfully and have landed safely at the Gannan airport."
"Wow..." As soon as the news was announced, there was thunderous applause in the operations room of the Ministry of National Defense!
Being able to successfully bomb and occupy the Japanese Expeditionary Force Headquarters in Wuhan was a great victory.
This victory is even more glorious than the one we won this morning when we completely wiped out the invading Japanese air force.
After all, today's victory in the temporary capital was just a passive defense.
The victory of the Japanese army in the bombing of Wuhan was due to the proactive attack of the Chinese Air Force.
Especially Song Wenwan’s words in the telegram draft, "If the enemy goes, I can go too."
It made everyone in the conference room feel their blood boiling after hearing it.
At eight o'clock this morning, after Zhao Gang and his team filled up the fuel, they quickly flew towards Wuhan.
This bombing mission was carried out by their comrades in northern Shaanxi.
Before departure, the crew members of the two planes were secretly summoned by Minister Li of the Ministry of Social Affairs.
They were told that this air raid was top secret of our party.
All details of the mission must not be disclosed to anyone, including the top leader.
All issues arising from the operation are solely responsible to Comrade Song Wenwan.
There is also a self-destruct system on the plane, in case it is shot down by the Japanese or is unable to escape.
They needed to quickly press the self-destruct button in the bombers they were flying to keep secrets for our party.
Then Song Wenwan took the instruction manual and studied the new equipment with the four crew members for a whole night.
In fact, Minister Li himself was also very puzzled, because even he had no right to know the specific reason for this order.
According to his analysis, the top leaders probably don’t know the reason.
But on this matter, I believed Song Wenwan's request 100%.
The reason why Song Wenwan made this request was because he asked the system to modify the two bombers.
They were equipped with an onboard radar and a coordinate display.
This is also the reason why Song Wenwan asked them to evacuate quickly after bombing the target at the beginning.
Once they are entangled by the Japanese air force in Wuhan, they will have no choice but to self-destruct.
