Chapter 680 Northeast Field Army Aviation Corps

Without the burden of various combat supplies, and with the cover of the upcoming offensive and defensive battle of Shijiazhuang in North China, Liu Hua and his party easily passed through the Pingjin area where the Japanese army was seriously ill. In the end, it only took more than a week.

In time, he successfully crossed Shanhaiguan and returned to the base area where he had been away for almost a month and had undergone earth-shaking changes.

And just when Liu Hua and others, with a large number of cadres supported by the central government, rushed day and night, and finally rushed back to the base area, more than a hundred combat aircraft successfully captured by the special operations division had successfully arrived at Fengtian Airport for two days.

time.

At this moment, more than a hundred precious combat aircraft have been quietly transferred to the prepared underground hangar under the arrangement of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, waiting for the return of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua. Then, the Northeast was formed

The first aviation unit of the Field Army.

In the field army headquarters, after a short rest, all the party committee members of the Northeast Field Army gathered in the small conference room of the headquarters to listen to the latest instructions brought by Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua from the central government. As for Zuo Quan, the newly appointed Chief of Staff of the Northeast Field Army, the mechanized corps

Commanders Su Yu and Liu Hua shamelessly requested Comrade Xiao Hua, the first commander of the Northeast Field Army Aviation Corps from the Central Military Commission. As the new party committee member of the Northeast Field Army, without any surprise, they all attended the meeting and the chairman sat next to Liu Hua.

on the stage.

As all the participants arrived, Liu Hua stood up from his seat without being polite, picked up several appointment reports signed by the Central Military Commission, and read out excitedly to the expectant commanders at all levels in front of him.

.

"Comrades, before the meeting is held, I will first read to you several appointment and dismissal reports just issued by the Central Military Commission."

"The Central Military Commission ordered and after the Central Military Commission's study and decision, Comrade Zuo Quan, the former deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, was appointed as the chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army from now on. At the same time, Comrade Zuo Quan was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army Party Committee, and Zuo Quan was co-opted

Comrade, I am the deputy secretary of the Northeast Bureau. Next, please welcome the arrival of the left chief of staff with warm applause."

"Bah bang bang..." A burst of warm applause began to ring out in the conference room as Liu Hua's words fell. It was obvious from the warm applause that everyone was interested in Zuo Quan's appointment as the chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army.

Obviously very pleased and excited

After pressing his hands and the applause in the conference room slowly subsided, Liu Hua continued to speak.

"Okay. I believe that Comrade Zuo Quan will be able to lead our Northeast Field Army to achieve more achievements in future battles after assuming the post of Chief of Staff of our Northeast Field Army. Now, I will read out the second appointment report. After

The Central Military Commission decided to appoint Comrade Su Yu, former deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, to serve as the first commander and political commissar of the mechanized corps to be formed by the Northeast Field Army from now on. At the same time, Comrade Su Yu was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army Party Committee..."

After the second round of warm applause that sounded in the conference room stopped again, Liu Hua continued to read.

"Comrades, in addition to appointing the chief of staff and commander of the mill, there is another important thing to announce to everyone here today. At present, among all the corps commanders of our Northeast Field Army, except for the commander of the fourth column Wang Zhen and the newly appointed commander

Commander Su Yu is unexpectedly a member of the Standing Committee of the Northeast Field Army Party Committee, and the remaining four commanders have not yet entered the ranks of the Northeast Field Army Party Committee."

"Therefore, in order to increase democracy and equality within the Field Army and strengthen the connection between the Field Army headquarters and various units. After my application, the Central Military Commission decided to add Comrade Xiao Hua, Comrade Sun Xingbang, Comrade Zhao Dahe, Comrade Gao Yuan,

Comrade Chen Dazhong, Comrade Wang Nanhu, Comrade Chen Revolutionary, Comrade Zhou Baozhong, Comrade Zhang Songping, Comrade Chen Hao, Comrade Chen Zhengxiang, Comrade Bruce Lee, and Comrade Chen Guangrong, a total of 13 comrades, are members of the Northeast Field Army Party Committee. In addition, Comrade Xiao Hua is added to the Northeast Field Army

Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee.”

Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua's last order was undoubtedly a huge bombshell, which shocked everyone present at the meeting.

Although, according to the commander-in-chief's order, a total of thirteen people have not changed in their positions in the army. However, being able to obtain the approval of the central government and enter the ranks of Northeast Field Army Party Committee members represents oneself.

The status within the party has improved a lot. At the same time, I also tell everyone that the current status of the Northeast Field Army within the party is no less than that of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in Guan...

Thinking of this, everyone's face showed excitement and excitement. Each commander's eyes showed a scorching gaze, as if looking at a treasure, staring at the commander-in-chief Liu Hua on the rostrum.

.

Of course, compared with the excitement of other people in the conference room, the political commissar Luo Ronghua sitting on the rostrum always showed a calm and composed expression. He pressed his hands and slowly responded to the applause that resounded throughout the headquarters.

After he calmed down, he asked Liu Hua beside him what he wanted most at this moment.

"Commander-in-Chief, in the order just now, Comrade Xiao Hua, who has just been co-opted as a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of our Northeast Field Army, in my impression, Comrade Xiao Hua seems to be the first political commissar and director of the Political Department of the Air Force directly under the Central Committee. What? Central Committee

Comrade Xiao Hua has also been transferred to our Northeast Field Army."

Liu Hua nodded and explained to the political commissar beside him.

"Political Commissar, our Northeast Field Army has developed so far. Among all the arms, the only ones we lack are the Navy and the Air Force. We do not have the ability or conditions to develop the Navy. However, the Air Force. To say an exaggeration,

In the future battles, if we do not have a strong air force and are attacked by the Japanese superior air power, it will be difficult for us to carry out large-scale strategic decisive battles. Even if we reluctantly carry out some large-scale strategic decisive battles, then there are still huge consequences.

Conditional restrictions. Therefore, developing our own air power is a bottleneck for our Northeast Field Army to continue to develop and grow. Only by truly establishing air power can our Northeast Field Army fully compete with the Kwantung Army."

Seeing political commissar Luo Ronghua, along with dozens of commanders under the rostrum, they all nodded in agreement. Liu Hua continued.

"In order to develop the air power of our Northeast Field Army and establish the first aviation unit of our Northeast Field Army in the shortest possible time, I shamelessly made a request to Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee. Xiao Hua, the current political commissar of the Air Force directly under the Central Committee,

Comrade, he was transferred to our Northeast Field Army and served as the first commander and political commissar of the Air Corps of our Northeast Field Army."

"Being the first commander of our Northeast Field Army Air Corps...Commander, that's great, you are so thoughtful..."

"A few days ago, I was watching the special operations division seize more than a hundred combat aircraft of various types from Tianjin Airport. I was still worried. Now that we have so much air force equipment and pilots, who should be in charge of this air force?

You know, looking at it, basically no one among all the commanders at division level or above in the entire Northeast Field Army has experience in commanding air force operations. Now, with Comrade Xiao Hua, we no longer have to worry that we are about to establish

The Air Force Corps..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with excitement.

However, after hearing the conversation between the Commander-in-Chief and the Political Commissar in front of them, the generals who knew nothing about the Northeast Field Army's upcoming establishment of an air force corps and the successful seizure of more than a hundred combat aircraft of various types from Tianjin Airport began to respond one by one.

A look of doubt immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing the instant changes in the expressions of the generals in front of him, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua immediately understood what he was talking about. He said to Li Qing, deputy chief of staff of the field army, with a smile on his face.

"Old Li, it seems that our base area has done a good job in keeping secrets. More than a hundred combat aircraft flew back to the base area and were at Fengtian Airport. It has been several days. These generals with heavy troops still don't know

The specific situation. Quickly, let me introduce to you that our Northeast Field Army is about to form an air force corps, so that everyone can be happy with us."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." Deputy Chief of Staff Li Qing replied very readily.

Then, he quickly stood up from his seat and introduced to the generals who looked expectantly in front of him.

"Comrades, since half a month ago, the base area suffered continuous Japanese air attacks, and the news that the troops and the entire base area suffered heavy losses has reached the ears of the heads of the Taiyuan Party Central Committee and the commander-in-chief. Through the Central Military Commission

With the approval, the Commander-in-Chief applied to the Central Military Commission for a decision to form our own air force in the three eastern provinces and use our own air force to check and balance the Kwantung Army's air force."

"Of course, when forming an air force, the first thing that needs to be solved is the problem of troop equipment. Therefore, the Tianjin Airport, where more than 200 combat aircraft are stationed, has become a piece of fat in the commander-in-chief's mouth."

Seeing a look of shock in everyone's eyes, Chief of Staff Li Qing continued to speak.

"After the deployment of the Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff and others, and the support of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in North China, the Special Operations Division successfully raided the Tianjin Airport and intercepted 185 combat aircraft while surrounded by heavy Japanese troops.

Currently, more than 180 combat aircraft captured by our special operations division are parked in the underground hangar of Fengtian Airport. As long as the commander-in-chief gives an order, the first aviation unit of our Northeast Field Army can be formed immediately

…”

"Pa bang bang..."

This time, the applause in the conference room can be said to be the warmest so far. Because these generals who have led troops for ten years or even more than ten years have experienced more than once that their troops,

In the absence of air superiority, the troops suffered huge casualties in the process of fighting an enemy with air superiority.

Therefore, after hearing that the Northeast Field Army was about to form its first aviation unit, and that at the beginning of its establishment, the entire aviation unit had more than 180 combat aircraft of various types. This had to be done by these battle-hardened veterans.

We feel excited and excited.

At this moment, in the solemn conference room, in front of the solemn party flag, the only thing we can do is to break down desperately and give warm applause to vent our excitement at this moment.

The long-lasting applause finally stopped at the signal of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua. Comrade Xiao Hua, commander of the Air Force Corps just appointed by the central government, also stood up from his seat at Liu Hua's signal. Immediately,

Liu Hua continued to order.

"Comrades, I will now personally read out the appointment and dismissal decision of the Central Military Commission. After the decision of the Central Military Commission, Comrade Xiao Hua, the former political commissar of the Air Force, was appointed as the first commander and political commissar of the Air Force Corps of the Northeast Field Army from now on. At the same time, an additional election was made.

Comrade Xiao Hua is a member of the Northeast Field Army Party Committee and Standing Committee..."

Just as Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua finished speaking, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan stood up from his seat with an equally excited expression, and read loudly to the excited crowd: "Comrades, I now declare that the Northeast Army led by Commander Xiao Hua

The Field Army Aviation Corps has been officially established starting today... Now, I would like to ask Chief of Staff Zuo Quan to announce to everyone the specific establishment and staffing of the entire Corps after the Northeast Field Army Aviation Corps is established..."

"Yes, political commissar..."

At this moment, under the bombardment of a series of heavy bombs. Sitting under the rostrum, dozens of senior generals had already shown shocked expressions on their faces and were speechless. However, they had already

The political commissar and others who had seen all the situations did not show much surprise on their faces. Just as the political commissar finished speaking, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, who was also sitting on the rostrum, quickly stood up and started for the first time.

Perform your duties as Chief of Staff.

"Comrades, after research and decision by the Northeast Field Army Headquarters, based on the current strength of the aviation corps and the amount of specific equipment in our hands, the entire aviation corps currently has an aviation division, a directly affiliated medium bomber regiment, a directly affiliated reconnaissance squadron, and an anti-aircraft gun

The air defense regiment and various ground crews total 20,000 people."

"Among them, the First Aviation Division has two fighter regiments, one light bomber regiment, and one direct reconnaissance aircraft detachment, with a total of 123 various combat aircraft. The medium bomber regiment includes 36 medium bombers, three fighters, and one reconnaissance aircraft.

The directly affiliated reconnaissance aircraft squadron includes 12 reconnaissance aircraft..."

"Currently, our Northeast Field Army has a total of 185 combat aircraft of various types. In addition to the 175 combat aircraft used by the aviation corps, the remaining ten combat aircraft were handed over to Comrade Xiao Hua to establish the first aviation school of the Northeast Field Army.

, Comrade Xiao Hua serves as the first principal of the Northeast Aviation School to train various outstanding pilots for the Northeast Field Army and our party..."

"At the same time, after study and decision by the Northeast Field Army Party Committee, Comrade Li Xingguo was appointed as the commander of the First Aviation Division of the Aviation Corps. As for the commanders of the Aviation Corps at the division level and below, Comrade Xiao Hua will make his own study and decision. Then, it will be reported to the Northeast Field Army Party Committee for the final decision.

.”

"The last resolution, after discussion and decision at the Field Army Headquarters, is to transfer one hundred cadres and soldiers with a certain level of education from each corps and send them to our aviation school to learn aircraft driving skills."

Shocked, absolutely shocked. At this moment, everyone attending the meeting, whether they had known about it in advance or those who did not know, had shocked looks on their faces. However, this shock only lasted a moment.

, and was immediately enveloped in a burst of intense joy.

"Okay, we finally have a plane, our own plane..."

"Yes, Commander, I really didn't expect that our Communist Party, our Northeast Field Army, will have our own air power from now on. By then, we will no longer have to be afraid of the Japanese planes..."

"Haha... we finally have a plane. From now on, let's see how the little devil's air force dares to be arrogant in front of us. When the time comes, we will also fly our plane and drop bombs on the heads of the little devil, let them have a taste

The feeling of being bombed…”

For a moment, the generals at all levels sitting under the rostrum immediately said what they wanted to say most at this moment.

Among all the commanders and political commissars, Commander Wang Zhen, who had the most seniority, stood up from his seat and asked.

"I dare to ask the Chief of Staff when the aviation corps will be able to form combat effectiveness. At present, the Little Japanese bombers are constantly launching air attacks on our base areas. We must suppress the arrogance of the Kwantung Army Air Force. Otherwise, our base areas will be

There will never be peace."

As soon as Wang Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Hua, who had already interacted with Wang Zhen, stood up from his seat and spoke.

"Commander Wang, please rest assured. I, Xiao Hua, am here to guarantee that within a week, the Japs' bombers will not dare to continue arrogantly above our heads."

At this moment, the reason why Commander Xiao Hua, who had just taken office, dared to say this with such certainty was very simple. This time he was ordered to come to the Northeast Field Army, and he did not come alone. In order to support the Northeast Field Army Air Force

The troops formed combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Commander Liu Yalou mobilized a regiment of outstanding pilots and followed Xiao Hua to the three eastern provinces.

At the same time, the more than 100 special operations team members in the special operations division who have flight experience can form combat effectiveness as long as they undergo certain systematic training and small-scale actual combat training.

As the commander, Xiao Hua believed that with the dozens of pilots at his disposal, plus the more than 100 reserve pilots of the special operations division, it would be enough to defeat several ambush attacks by the Japs bombers and dampen the arrogance of the Kwantung Army Air Force.
