During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Chinese Air Force mainly equipped the German Hawk fighter jets and bombers. Although the number was not large, it was extremely brave in combat. Six Japanese aircraft were shot down in the Battle of Songhu, but no casualties were found. During the naval battle, the bombing and sank and injured many Japanese ships.

Even the Chinese planes once flew to Japan to scatter many leaflets, but the backwardness of industrial manufacturing led to the Chinese Air Force purchasing more foreign aircraft and not having the ability to produce aircraft. So much so that one aircraft would be reduced if one aircraft was knocked down. Until now, it is difficult to see the Chinese Air Force confrontation with the Japanese Air Force on the battlefield.

As long as the Chinese soldiers who had fought head-on with the Japanese, they would call for the annoying aircraft to support the Japanese when they encountered a difficult position, and they would sigh at why they did not have such conditions. In addition, the Chinese army has a habit of lacking air defense capabilities, and every time they encountered those Japanese bombings, they could only avoid them.

Now that Liu Gang said this, the officers of the Motor Infantry Brigade were in an uproar. The Air Force, such an eye-catching word, can the current financial resources of the North China Militia Column really form an air force that takes a lot of money and time to develop?

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on themselves, Chen Ming shook his head and said, "I have received no doubt about whether the air force is going to form an air force. But based on my understanding of the commander, you nine are just the first batch of pilots selected. I will go to the First Division and the Artillery Division to pick people in their troops, and by the way, see if there are any soldiers in their troops who have been engaged in flying.

If such an action was not for the purpose of forming an air force, I can't think of any other reason that would allow the commander to gather you people who flew over the plane alone. As for the same sentence, regardless of whether the column wants to form an air force or not, today's news must be kept confidential. If the news is leaked, I don't need to say that you all know how serious the consequences are. What's more, once the column really has its own air force, our Motor Infantry Brigade will carry out group charges in the future, there is no need to worry about the Japanese planes that always sway over their heads."

With Chen Ming's straightforward words, the officers of the Marine Infantry Brigade knew that the pilots who flew over the plane this time were drawn. I think the commander prepared in advance, and the planes needed in the later stage should be obtained. After all, this commander often likes to measure in advance. In his words, he would rather wait for people to wait for equipment than for people. As long as the personnel were drawn, there would still be aircraft that would come.

After announcing the transfer order, Chen Ming assigned to the officers of the brigade department. After the pilots left, they found a suitable replacement. Instead, they saw the same educated soldiers and couldn't help but like to bring the officers who were in the army under their command and let them speak out the names of the soldiers they saw in the second troops during this period.

Chen Ming is about to go to the second army to "rob" people, and no matter how hard these two division commanders are, they will feel distressed for two days. Who told them to always see themselves as if they were guarding for thieves?

After the meeting of the Mojian Brigade, Chen Ming asked Liu Gang to inform Zhu Ziming and the other eight people, and he led him to the conference room of the Xianghe Militia Regiment to wait for Deng Chenggong to summon him. I believe that after they met Deng Chenggong, there should be definite news.

Liu Gang, who has always longed to be able to return to the blue sky, has been promoted to at least the school and is also the battalion commander of the main battalion. However, compared to being able to fly on the plane, he would rather be an ordinary pilot than be the battalion commander of the main battalion. For this reason, as soon as the meeting ended, Liu Gang hurriedly went to find Zhu Ziming and other pilots who were like him and who had been looking forward to returning to the blue sky.

When they hurriedly found Zhu Ziming and others, these pilots who liked to come together to study flight tactics on weekdays saw Liu Gang's hurried look and quipped with a smile: "Brother Liu, aren't you going to have a meeting? Why do you see that you ran so hard and sweaty? Could it be that the brigade commander introduced you to your wife?"

Among the nine people, Liu Gang had the most experienced flight experience and the oldest age. For this reason, the nine people privately called him the elder brother. In such private occasions, these pilots who usually call brothers still like to joke with this elder brother who was talking about "How can you get married before you restore your country?"

Liu Gang ignored the brothers' jokes and said with joy: "You happen to be together, so I'll save you all the time to inform you. You can go with me to see the commander later. If I expect it well, we can really return to the blue sky and fly on the plane."

What! Upon hearing this news, Zhu Ziming and others couldn't sit still and said with disbelief: "Brother Liu, you won't lie to us, are you?"

Liu Gang shook his head and said, "When have you ever seen me? I'm just joking about such things? It's true. The brigade commander was called to a meeting by the commander just now. When he came back, he notified us to transfer out of the Motorcycle brigade and waited for the commander to arrange the mission in person. Do you think, if we weren't allowed to fly the plane, what would happen?"

Finally, we can board the plane. The former Chinese Air Force pilots who were so excited that they saw the Japanese hated each other but still envied them in their hearts. They were so excited that they even started to cry with joy. Fortunately, Liu Gang knew that they could not be too happy. After all, this matter would have to be confirmed after seeing the commander. Otherwise, the commander would tell them that their mission was not to be pilots again, so everyone would be in vain.

Liu Gang and others, who had strong emotions, quickly set off to the combat conference room of the Xianghe Militia Regiment. When they arrived, Deng Chenggong was already sitting inside waiting for them. After everyone gave the military salutes one by one, Deng Chenggong politely asked them to find a chair to sit down.

Looking at these column pilots who were trying hard to control their excitement, Deng Chenggong smiled and said, "Call you together today, I believe you can guess what is going on. What I want to tell you is that if everything goes well, you may be able to fly on the plane and fly back into the blue sky in the near future.

But before everything is not scheming, what I want to know is whether your flight technology has been forgotten. I don’t want to see the consequences of the plane being destroyed and the death of people after handing it to you.

Of course, what I mean is not that I am afraid that you will break the plane, but that I do not want to waste your precious lives. Your guess is good, and I do have plans to form a flight brigade. But all this is still waiting for the next battle to be carried out as I expected.

You don’t have to guess the source of the plane. We can’t afford the plane with the current financial resources of our column. So in the future, the planes you can fly are all Japanese aircraft. Are you sure that you can fly into the sky with the Japanese aircraft now equipped with? Drive Japanese aircraft to fight with Japanese aircraft and bomb Japanese troops?”

For these pilots, driving a plane from that country is not important, but it is important that you can fly on the plane. The planes of this era are similar. These pilots who have had hundreds of hours of flight time are not worried at all whether they can fly the Japanese plane into the sky.

Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, Deng Chenggong said nothing more and said directly: "Since you all have confidence in driving the Japanese plane into the sky, then after you go down, you will focus on some performance parameters of the Japanese plane. When the next plan is launched, you will be matched with the battle together.

As for the future column flight brigade, although we don’t have a single plane at present, the flight brigade will still be formed. I cannot guarantee that I can grab a flight brigade, but the planes of you nine people must not be too big. After going on, don’t spread this news too much, so as not to let the Japanese be more vigilant after the news is leaked."

Just when Deng Chenggong thought the meeting could be declared over, Liu Gang, who was temporarily tasked with the flight brigade captain, suddenly said: "Commander, I would like to ask, regarding the formation of the flight brigade, can I call some students from the previous aviation school over here. Many of them are like me now, staying in the army.

I have always had letters with my classmates from several aviation schools, and I have a good relationship in private. If the column is really capable of getting the plane, I think they will definitely be willing to come and join our air force. But many of them are now in the National Party and the Jinsui Army. I don’t know if the column is willing to accept people like them?"

How could Deng Chenggong refuse such a talent?

He said very readily: "There is no problem with this. As long as they have the heart to serve the country and fight against Japanese devils, I don't mind what they did in the past. There is only one thing I hope you can tell them that if you join our militia column, they must abide by the discipline of the militia column.

If I were to play the trick of "being in Cao's camp and being in Han", I think there is still no need to come here. I don't expect that everyone will get along well because of their political beliefs. Soldiers do not interfere in politics, which is the principle I have always emphasized. You can also tell them clearly that as long as they are willing to come, I can order the intelligence department to cooperate.

There is no need to write a letter to inform me. You just need to tell me the number and name of the troops they are in. I will arrange for the intelligence department to send a special person to accept them. After all, let them come and meet you at the fastest speed. You must know that there is not much time left for us to prepare now, and you and others must be mentally prepared for this."

Liu Gang, who had been involved in the militia column for almost two years, knew about Deng Chenggong's emphasis on military personnel not interfering in politics. Although some intelligence personnel from political forces in the column promoted their respective political propositions in the army, once these people were discovered by the column, they would soon be in the sight of the column officers and soldiers.

As for whether these intelligence personnel are dead or alive, it has always been a speculation by Liu Gang. Over time, few people in the militia columns talked about political propositions in private, and more of them take the political program of protecting the country and protecting the people implemented by the militia columns. If they are determined to fight the Japanese, they will have no worries about the rest of the political propositions and beliefs. No one cares about the columns. This is a recognized minefield in the columns and no one dares to easily involve them.

In a sense, the North China Militia Column is completely under the command of the people of North China and the troops directly commanded by Deng Chenggong. Outsiders or parties have no way to intervene. Even if they are angry, it may also attract revenge, the commander Deng Chenggong, who also has no political beliefs. The commanders have this attitude, so they are naturally not going to talk much about these issues that seem to them, which are also empty!
