Chapter 224: Great Victory (2), Review of Today's Battle
Chapter 224: Great Victory (2), Review of Today's Battle
A total of 36 invading Japanese bombers and 30 Type 95 fighters were destroyed this time.
Our Gansu Army's flying units did not lose a single plane, and none of the Japs' fighters or bombers escaped."
"What a great victory..."
With the shouts of "great victory" from the audience, the parade and rally reached its climax.
Looking at the Gansu Army's planes flying over his head, Yang Liqing silently complained in his heart.
"Song Wenwan, you are such a big move, even our people from Shancheng Eighth Office kept it a secret.
No one else can do a good job of keeping secrets!"
On the way back to the Ministry of National Defense, the Minister of Military Affairs violated the regulations and got into the same car as the Minister of Defense.
The reason why it is said to be a violation of the regulations is mainly because we are afraid that if we don't investigate it in time, we will be wiped out by the Japanese again.
The Minister of Military Affairs got on the Ministry of National Defense's car, mainly because he had something to ask him.
"Brother, you just said at the rally that this action of the Gansu Army was planned by your Ministry of National Defense?"
The Minister of Defense glared at him and said, "Why, don't you believe that our Ministry of Defense has the ability to do this?"
The Minister of Military Affairs ignored him and asked him directly.
"Don't give me that crap. By saying this, aren't you taking away all the credit for the National Army?"
This time, the Defense Minister's answer was not in line with the Military and Political Minister's.
"Do you think I want to take the credit from him? Everyone knows exactly who the credit belongs to.
The reason why I reported it just now was the names of our Ministry of National Defense and the Secretariat.
This is because the original text of Gannan’s telegram explained the action in this way.
You saw it. I asked a specific question before reading the telegram.
The telecommunications staff officer told me that this was said by Yang Liren, director of the intelligence room.
He has confirmed it repeatedly with Gannan, so I dare to read it like this on stage."
The Minister of Military Affairs thought about it for a moment and understood the whole story.
“I didn’t expect that this little fox Song Wenwan would be so cunning now.
He is sharing the credit so easily, this is just to shut up the attendants!"
The Minister of Defense said: “You didn’t see what I just said when I read the words ‘attendant’s room’.
The person above has a smile on his face.
Alas, this time, our Ministry of National Defense will have to accept Song Wennuan’s kindness.”
The Minister of Military Affairs said: “However, his actions this time have caused quite a stir.
Without telling anyone, they acquired a hundred fighter jets. Did they report this to anyone?
And who provided him with these fighter jets?
In addition to these 100 Hawk fighters, how many fighters does Gannan have in his air force? "
The Minister of Defense said: "Isn't the Minister of Military Affairs going to Gannan this time?
When he comes back, we will know the details.”
When their car stopped at the gate of the Ministry of National Defense.
Then they saw Kuomintang fighter planes flying over their heads.
Seeing two people looking up at the sky, the soldier standing guard at the door hurried over to report.
"Reporting to the two ministers, Director Yang from the Intelligence Office just came over.
He said these planes were on duty used by the Gansu Army for patrols.
They said that we won a great victory today and they were afraid that the Japanese would retaliate against us, so they took over the air security work of the temporary capital."
Such a loud thunder struck the two ministers on their heads.
The Minister of Defense grabbed the soldier who was standing guard at the door.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know who approved them to take off for patrol?"
The soldier was totally clueless and replied stupidly: "Does anyone need to approve this?"
The two ministers looked at each other and said in unison, "It's bad."
Then the two of them ran towards the operations meeting room together, because the matter had become very serious.
Taking over the security control work of the temporary capital without receiving any orders, how is this different from treason?
The two words "Bingjian" were like two steel knives hanging over everyone's head.
Soon, everyone gathered in the operations meeting room with nervous looks on their faces.
Even representatives from the temporary capital and the Eighth Route Army Office were invited by them.
It seems that with them around, things become easier to solve.
After all, it was someone else who helped me solve the problem last time.
Soon all the people attending the meeting arrived, and Yang Liren came to the director of the attendant's office with a folder.
At the signal from the Chief of the Secret Service, the Chief of the Intelligence Office, Yang Liren, began to review today's battle for everyone.
"According to a secret report from Song Wenwan, vice chairman of Gansu Province, he learned about it three days ago.
The Japanese air force was about to launch a surprise attack on the capital, so he sent the Gannan Air Force to provide support this morning.
“I need to explain here that the intelligence about the Japanese air raid was easy to obtain.
It has now been confirmed that this was a smoke bomb released by the Japanese army.
They did this on purpose to make us focus only on the air raid itself.
As a result, we all neglected the attention on logistical support.
This time the Japanese did succeed, thanks to the actions of their Special Higher Police.
They successfully instigated our airport ground staff to replace aviation fuel with water."
"The Gansu Army's planes took off this morning, refueled in Mianyang, and then flew to the temporary capital to participate in the battle."
The Minister of Defense asked: "Did they refuel at Mianyang Airport? Why didn't Mianyang report it?"
Yang Liren said: “In order to keep it secret, they did not stop at Mianyang Airport.
Instead, the plane landed temporarily using three unfinished straight roads.
Coincidentally, there were well-built air-raid shelters on both sides of the three sections of road.
Coincidentally, aviation fuel had been prepared in advance in the underground air-raid shelter.
It just happened to replenish the fuel for their fighter jets in this operation."
The words "deliberate" and "long-planned" exploded in everyone's mind.
What the Minister of Military Affairs is thinking of now is a higher-level meaning, "showing off muscles."
Song Wenwan suddenly showed an attitude of "I'm not someone you can mess with", which made him feel at a loss as to what to do.
But things have developed to this point, like a sword hanging upside down!
But why did the head of the attendant's office still have an unstoppable smile on his face?
At this time, Yang Liren saw that the effect had been maximized, and continued to narrate what had happened to everyone.
"After the air battle, the second and third squadrons of the Gannan Air Force returned to Longnan Airport.
Their First Air Force Squadron decided to stay in the temporary capital for the time being.
They were ready to take off at any time to guard against retaliatory bombings by the Japanese air force.
Just now, two transport planes were dispatched and landed at the No. 1 military airport in the temporary capital.
They are airlifting in the fuel needed for the plane to fly.
Later, a large number of anti-aircraft weapons will be transported here and deployed around the airport.
Their Gannan Naval Command had a recruiting office in the temporary capital, which was specifically used to recruit former naval officers and soldiers.
Now they have taken over the security of Airport No. 1."
I heard that those who participated in controlling the airport were from the Gannan Naval Office.
In fact, there was no longer any major worry in everyone's hearts.
This Gannan Navy Office, located in the secondary capital, is well known to everyone.
