0124 280 shells blew up the Japanese base to pieces
It was Rychagov's turn to share his story.

He shook his head with a smile, and said to Wang Liang, "General, you should do it. It's more appropriate for you to talk about beating devils."

"Okay, then I'll do it." Wang Liang agreed directly without being polite.

He will not lean to any side, and will only tell the original history objectively and fairly.

"It should have been at the end of [-] when the War of Resistance Against Japan was ongoing. The Chinese Air Force was almost exhausted, and it was already powerless to stop the indiscriminate bombing of Chinese cities by the planes of the Japanese devils. At the same time, Japan announced the blockade of the Chinese coast."

No matter what the purpose is, the support of the Soviet Air Force is undoubtedly a timely help for the isolated and helpless Chinese military and civilians.

From 600 to the end of 2000, the Soviet Union, in the name of the Air Force Volunteers, sent a total of more than [-] people to participate in the Chinese War of Resistance, including more than [-] pilots, mechanics, engineers and other aviation support personnel. [-] people.

By the beginning of 980, the Chinese Air Force, with the Soviet Air Force Volunteers as the main force, had shot down and destroyed 120 Japanese fighter planes and damaged more than [-] Japanese ships.

After the fall of Nanshi, the national government was forced to move the capital to Shancheng, but the military committee and some agencies of the Kuomintang government remained in Wuhan.

The Japanese are arrogant!

They are not as good as pigs and dogs. Immediately after occupying Nanjing, they drew up a combat plan to go further west of the Yangtze River to attack the three towns of Zhanwu City.

What can Chinese soldiers do?
The Chinese and Soviet Air Forces jointly fought to deal a fatal blow to the arrogant devils!
Before [-], Soviet volunteer pilots fought independently.

After the Chinese pilots received training at the Airing School in Ili, New Province, and the flight schools in Lanshi and Chengshi, the Chinese and Soviet militaries began to try mixed operations.

In order to effectively counter the bombing of the Japanese Air Force, the Nationalist Government decided that Chinese pilots would join the Soviet Volunteer Flying Brigade to fight together.

Of course, there is also the meaning of letting the Chinese commander lead the Sino-Soviet mixed bomber pilot formation.

Chinese Air Force, rise up!
From then on, the Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Volunteer Air Force began to fly Soviet-made fighters to fight side by side, and the Sino-Soviet joint reorganization of the Fourth Air Force Brigade in Nanchang.

This is an opportunity for the rapid growth of the Chinese Air Force.

On February [-], [-], the devils began a large-scale aerial attack on Wuhan.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the Devils Navy dispatched twelve bombers, under the cover of 26 new fighter jets, took off from the airports in Nanshi and Wushi respectively, and after meeting at the junction of Huizhou and Jiangxi provinces, placed The long snake formation swaggered towards Wushi.

Lieutenant: "Sir, aren't we being too arrogant?"

Takashi Kaneko replied arrogantly: "Lieutenant, now we are flying over a country that has no airspace rights. This country doesn't even have an air force capable of forming combat capabilities. What are we afraid of?"

Lieutenant: "Hi!"

Takashi Kaneko: "Warriors of the empire, let us have a happy free hunting, and let Wushi become a ruin like Nanshi! Hahahaha."

"well!"

The crazy Devil Air Force is here.

What the devils don't know is that the Chinese and Soviet pilots have already completed the mix, and they are just waiting for a small test.

News of the Japanese attack reached the command post of the Chinese Air Force Fourth Brigade at Hanshi Airport.

Nineteen I-15 and ten I-16 destroyers took off from Hanshi and Xiaoshi airports to intercept them respectively.

This is the first air combat attempt after the Sino-Soviet mix.

After taking off, the Soviet pilot saw the direction of the Japanese attack pointed out by the ground intelligence, and after flying for 10 minutes, he made a sharp 180-degree turn, and soon found that there were three Japanese bombers in a dense formation at an altitude of 2000 meters below him.

Almost at the same time, the Devil fighter plane in the cloud also appeared.

As soon as the Soviet aircraft was spotted, the Devil fighter immediately began to dive.

At this time, the Japanese machine was condescending and took the initiative.

Soviet pilot Dushin was attacked by three Japanese Type [-] carrier-based fighter jets.

But he did not show weakness, and took turns firing at the three fighters, shooting down an enemy plane.

The other two Japanese fighter planes persisted and continued to flank Du Shen.

At the critical moment, the I-16 driven by Blagoveshchenski came to support in time. Dushen and Blagoveshchenski managed to shoot down the two enemy fighter planes reasonably.

The entire air battle lasted twelve minutes, and the dispatched fourth brigade shot down a total of twelve Devil fighter planes.

The final result was that the arrogant Japanese air strike formation commander Ryuji Kaneko who clamored to turn Wushi into ruins was shot down and blown to nothing.

The Chinese Air Force also lost five fighter planes. Captain Li Guidan was unfortunately hit by a Japanese plane flying from behind when he was covering his teammates to attack the Japanese plane, and was killed on the spot.

Squadron leader Lu Jichun and pilots Ba Qingzheng, Wang Yi, and Li Pengxiang also shed blood in the sky and died heroically.

February 23, [-], the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Red Army.

In order to celebrate the festival with practical actions, the Chinese and Soviet air warriors decided to attack Taiwan, with the goal of destroying the Japanese Navy's Taipei Songshan Airport.

"Because I was studying in the Soviet Union at that time, I also applied to participate in that operation. It was the first mission that Comrade Rechagov and I carried out together." Wang Liang said.

Rechagov, who was the squadron leader at the time, was solely responsible for the sortie mission.

Two formations: one is a mixed formation of 25 bombers stationed in Nanchang, China and the Soviet Union; the other is [-] bombers stationed in Hankou, all Soviet pilots.

The aircraft in both formations were Tupolev SB bombers.

From Hanshi to Taishi, the straight-line distance was more than [-] kilometers. At that time, many fighter jets could not fly that far. Only the Tupolev SB bomber could do it. Its longest range was [-] kilometers.

In order to save fuel, the Soviet bombers flew at an altitude between 4000 meters and 800 meters, and the pilots endured the torture of hypoxia and low temperature.

Arriving in the Taiwan Strait, the fleet dropped to an altitude of 2000 meters, and the pilots were able to breathe freely.

Approaching Taiwan City, in order to prevent the devils from being harassed by anti-aircraft artillery fire, the fleet pulled back to an altitude of 4000 meters.

In order to confuse the devils, the fleet first flew to the north of Taiwan Province, then made a sharp turn, lowered the altitude, and approached Songshan Airport.

The Japanese devils did not expect Songshan Airport to be attacked by the Chinese and Soviet air forces, and they were not even prepared.

Neither destroyers launched to intercept nor anti-aircraft artillery blocked them. The Chinese and Soviet air forces dropped a total of 280 shells, and Songshan Airport was instantly submerged in flames.

In this attack, more than [-] enemy planes, more than [-] barracks, and three hangars were destroyed, and aviation fuel and aircraft equipment that could be used by the devils for three years were also burned, completely paralyzing Songshan Airport.

Of course, many Japanese devils were also burned to death!
This feat created a new record for long-range bombing in the world. The next day, Song Meiling, secretary-general of the China Aviation Committee, held a celebration banquet and presented a big cake to the Soviet army. A line of red letters was written on it: "Salute to the volunteer pilots of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army ".

Comment area.

"Salute to the flying heroes of the Soviet Union who aided China and resisted Japan without fear of bloodshed and sacrifice!"

"Salute to all the members of the Soviet Volunteer Air Force who helped China in the war of resistance, thank them for their support, and mourn the heroes who died."

"Hearing it makes my blood boil. The Chinese people will always remember all the heroes who died and fought bloody in the War of Resistance!"

---------

Ba Qingzheng, Wang Yi, Li Pengxiang, Lu Jichun, Li Guidan, please remember these names, I did not make them up, they are all martyrs, Chinese soldiers who died in that air battle.
