    Chapter 649: Promotion, payment, and invitation to dinner

    Liu Cuigang, deputy commander of the ** Division Air Force, led a mixed formation of fighters and bombers to raid the Japanese Nanyuan Airport in Peiping, and then attacked the Tianjin Field Airport of the Japanese North China Air Force with great success.  It was still the scene where the two bombers crashed into the Japanese fighter jets just now.  {}

    There was more sorrow than joy after victory. The two crews and eight comrades who had been together day and night disappeared in a ball of fire in an instant. Their voices, smiles, and words were still in their ears. They were brought out, but not brought back. Liu Cuigang's fighter plane had already been operated to some extent.  It was not very agile, and its fuselage was damaged in many places. When they entered Shandong, they encountered the second echelon of fighters who came to respond, specifically to deal with the Japanese bomber group.

    For the pilots of this echelon, today's air battle was extremely enjoyable. The Japanese bombers, who had no power to fight back, were chased all over the sky like ducks. They finally escaped to Peking Nanyuan Airport, only to find that the airport  It was already a sea of ??fire and it was impossible to land. When we flew to Jinzhou Airport outside the customs, there was not enough fuel. As a result, the dozens of fighter jets of the ** Division Air Force that were caught up were all killed. None of the ** Division pilots were killed.  damage.

    After the fleet formed a mixed formation, they returned together and landed at Jinan Airport. Le Yiqin had returned early and was waiting eagerly on the runway. The eight fighter jets he led attracted more than a hundred Japanese fighter jets to the northern Shanxi area.  , the rabid-dog-like Japanese fighter jets suddenly stopped chasing and turned around and returned.

    Le Yiqin looked at the fuel gauge and felt happy. The kid's plane didn't have enough fuel and he was in a hurry to go back. Why should he be so polite? Le Yiqin shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's time for us to talk." In the air  In an extremely beautiful flip, the fuselage turned upside down and made a 180-degree turn. The scene was reversed. More than a hundred Japanese fighter jets were beaten to the ground by eight Chinese Air Force fighter jets.

    Le Yiqin and the others were not in a hurry. They caught the lagging Japanese fighter planes and beat them up. The Japanese planes were not interested in fighting at all. They left behind a group of sixteen fighter planes and were responsible for blocking Le Yiqin's crew. This was a mouthful.  Fatty, no need to turn on the fire, it won't take long for the little devil's plane to fall down on its own due to lack of fuel.

    Knowing that there were a large number of Japanese pilots who loved to play Bushido, Le Yiqin reminded his pilots to entangle and wear them down and prepare for a near-death counterattack. In fact, the sixteen Japanese fighter jets in this group used  He sacrificed himself in exchange for the safe return of most of the aircraft of the Dispatch Army Air Force. When he was left behind, he had repaid his determination to die and could bloom a firework for His Majesty the Emperor in the blue sky. As a member of the Yamato nation,  Glory of the Samurai

    Seeing that the fuel gauge pointer had pointed to the red warning area, even without the entanglement of the Chinese aircraft, it was impossible to fly back to Peiping. The Japanese captain leading the team yelled: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor" as if he had received some kind of signal.  A two-plane formation of Japanese fighter jets collided head-on with the eight planes of Le Yiqin's crew.

    Le Yiqin was startled. The little devils are here to be cruel and risk their lives. At this time, there is no need to accompany these dying guys to be buried. As soon as the nose of the plane was pulled, two Japanese fighter jets passed under the fuselage like meteors, and then  , like a lump of lead, dived straight towards the ground, two balls of orange fire burst out, and there were two more piles of scrap metal in a deep mountain and old forest in northern Shanxi.

    Not all pilots were as alert as Le Yiqin. In the blink of an eye, three fighter jets of the Japanese Air Force were hit by a suicidal attack by Japanese fighter pilots. Several flames burst out in the air. Fortunately, there were  The two pilots parachuted out in time, but only one fighter plane exploded into pieces in the air. The Japanese fighter plane that did not hit the target plunged to the ground. The fuel was exhausted and it was unable to even change its flight posture.

    The sky returned to calm, and two white umbrella flowers bloomed in the sky. Le Yiqin watched the parachute float to the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief. The landing site was not within the control of the Japanese army. The comrade who died had already returned to the blue sky, and he could never see it again.  Without the shadow of a large group of Japanese aircraft, sixteen Japanese fighter pilots sacrificed their lives to save the Japanese North China Air Force from being wiped out.

    Le Yiqin has been notified by Jinan Airport that the Japanese airports in Peiping and Tianjin have been destroyed by Liu Cuigang's fleet. Based on his understanding of the "Zero" fighter jets, which Japanese fighter jets escaped can fly to Jinzhou Airport outside Guanhai.  There were only a few, and there were even many Japanese fighter jets that would crash due to lack of fuel before they even reached Peiping. Those who were lucky enough to survive were those guys who were not completely crazy.

    Imagining the Japanese fighter jets falling like dumplings, the joy of victory in Le Yiqin's heart exceeded the sorrow of the sacrifice of his comrades. This battle can be said to be a brilliant victory. At the cost of losing three planes and sacrificing one comrade, almost all  Destroyed the Japanese armyNorth China's air power, which at this time was unknown to Liu Cuigang's fleet, also lost two bombers and eight crew members.

    Tang Qiuli counted the planes that landed one after another. He knew very well how much money the aviation team had. When the last plane landed, his heart skipped a beat. Le Yiqin lost three fighter jets and sacrificed one of them.  Pilots, this is within the range of his heart. After all, with fewer enemies and more enemies, it is good to have five aircraft back. When making this plan, he did not plan for Le Yiqin's crew to come back in one piece. Faced with  More than a hundred Japanese fighter jets will shudder to the faint of heart just thinking about them.

    But Liu Cuigang's loss should not have occurred. The bombing of Peking Nanyuan Airport should have ended with a complete victory. Then bombing Tianjin Airport was a risky behavior in itself. Liu Cuigang was the last one to jump off the plane. Seeing the tears that seemed to flash in the corners of his eyes,  Tang Qiuli felt weak in his heart and couldn't bear to blame him.

    After stopping Liu Cuigang's request for punishment, Tang Qiuli just patted him on the shoulder and shook his head gently without saying a word. In the evening, at the battle summary meeting, he learned that Liu Cuigang had lost two bombers and sacrificed eight people.  What a glorious result achieved at the expense of the crew members.

    This battle fundamentally solved the Japanese North China Air Force that Okamura Neiji had worked so hard to reorganize. The effect and influence were no less than Gao Zhihang and his colleagues. If he followed his own requirements and did not lose two bombers, the Japanese North China Air Force would be defeated.  Only half of the air power of the Japanese Army in North China still exists. The Japanese Army Air Force is still facing a behemoth. The results and influence of this battle far exceed the battle itself. At the very least, the Japanese air power in North China does not have a single  It is impossible to recover in years.

    For officers like Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin who disregarded their own safety and could look at the overall situation, what else could they blame and demand?  In fact, the entire aviation fleet, because of its own losses, had greatly diluted the joy after victory, shrouded in a layer of faint sadness, and the pilots were not in high spirits. He was keenly aware of this.

    Tang Qiuli stood up and announced: "The results of the aviation team this time are extremely brilliant. All the pilots who participated in the battle are good. I am proud of you." After saying these few words, all the pilots became energetic.  "Next, I announce the commendation order of the ** Division to the entire aviation force." This was his temporary thought. Only in this way can everyone's fighting spirit and courage be inspired.

    "All personnel of the ** Division Air Force are commended in the Yellow River Basin War Zone. All personnel are promoted to one rank. The air force is rewarded with a reward of 100,000 yuan. The soldiers who died in action will receive a pension of 3,000 yuan each."  There were exclamations of surprise. The aviation team was already a high-stipend unit within the ** division's establishment. With the same rank of lieutenant, the monthly allowance was more than one-half more than that of other units.

    Moreover, the division commander is talking about everyone, including the ground staff. That is to say, everyone in the aviation team has been promoted to one rank. This is a big deal, especially Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang. They are overjoyed and have another star on their shoulders.  , but he is a colonel. The distant dream of being a general is one step closer. Looking at the entire winged unit of the People's Liberation Army, there are several colonels in the Air Force, including Gao Zhihang, the famous destroyer commander of the Aviation Administration.  That is the rank of colonel.

    In fact, when Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang came to Dingbian, they only had the rank of captain. In less than a year, Tang Qiuli promoted their ranks twice, from captain to lieutenant colonel. Today is the third time.  The colonel can already feel the general's edge. Furthermore, in the ** Division Air Force, the colonel's salary is as much as that of the major general in the infantry. Although the two of them are not related to money, but they also have  Who is afraid of having too much money?

    After several years of experience, Tang Qiuli has become more insightful and sophisticated about human nature. He also consciously implements a bonus system in the army. Only by generous remuneration can talents be retained. This is a universal truth. Just spiritual rewards,  It is not enough to win people's hearts, both material and spiritual needs are needed. There is a saying that a great man said, "Both the material and the spiritual hands must be strong." This is how he started to do it, and the effect was amazing.

    After rewarding Dayang and being promoted to an official, the next step was the spiritual encouragement. Looking at the pilots below talking excitedly, Tang Qiuli's eyes were filled with the meaning of an old fox, "Tonight, in Jinan City,  Huiquan Tower, I want to hold a celebration banquet for all the heroes of the aviation team to celebrate today¡¯s great victory.¡±

    There were cheers below. If the level difference hadn't been too big, it would have been an honor for these pilots to be able to lift Tang Qiuli up and get recognition from their respected division commander for the result. All the ** division troops had that  Enjoy this honor?

    Jinan Huiquan Building, Tang Qiuli reserved the venue. The huge sign at the door read "Vice Chairman Tang reserved the venue to celebrate the Air Force General's victory over the Japanese Air Force". Several gilt characters passed by. The passing soldiers were filled with envy and secretly felt jealous.  , when will you do a beautiful job?It was too greedy to ask the division commander to book a meal to celebrate. As a result, the Army Division also formed an unwritten rule. For any unit that made great achievements, Tang Qiuli would treat him to a meal and celebrate.  The enthusiasm among the troops to make meritorious deeds was something he had never expected.
