The Sino-Japanese Air Force battle in the Battle of Shanghai shocked the arrogant Japanese Air Force.

The Japanese Air Force became very cautious and changed its tactics. Every time the bomber was dispatched, a large number of deportations were always escorted by the team, and air attacks were also carried out as much as possible at night.

It is difficult for the Chinese Air Force to capture the fighter jets that have gathered large-scale annihilated Japanese aircraft fleets. In the long-lasting war of attrition, the Chinese Air Force's losses increased sharply, and it can be said that they have done their best!

But Chairman Jiang did not feel this pain, because the Air Force won several victories, which brought him praise from the military and public opinion circles at home and abroad, and the people's hearts and morale also rose.

Chairman Jiang needs this effect too much, and he needs more air news to attract the attention of Western countries!

Therefore, Chairman Jiang kept putting pressure on the Air Force Commander General Zhou Zhirou, and even sacrificed the pitiful Chinese Air Force!

The Chinese Air Force is happy to fight frequently. Groups of air heroes fell on the land where they gave birth to them without regrets, and wrote tragic anti-Japanese hymns with their passion and life.

However, when Nanjing was about to fall, the Chinese Air Force had only the last fighter plane left, saying goodbye to the capital and flew west alone.

The Chinese Air Force has many air warriors who sacrificed their lives for justice, but there are no excellent fighters and bombers that can carry them into the sky to fight against the Japanese army!

Chairman Chiang was also extremely anxious about this, but because Germany and Japan formed a military alliance, Germany not only did not continue to provide assistance, but also withdrew its military advisers, making it impossible for it to obtain aircraft from Germany again.

Looking back at the West, British and American planes were out of reach. Not to mention the assistance, it was difficult to even buy money. In desperation, Chairman Jiang wrote to Stalin: The urgent need for planes is incomparable.

Stalin responded and held Chairman Chiang's hand that reached out to ask for help.

I hope to fly from the air when we get rid of the old and welcome the new, fly to the cold Wuhan, and fly to Chairman Jiang.

In October 1937, the route from Almaty in the Soviet Union through Lanzhou to Hankou was opened. The first batch was air-conditioned, with 254 ground crew members, led by Maqin and Kurchumov, arrived in China in 21 СБ bombers and И-16 fighters.

When passing Liangzhou, Kurchumov unfortunately died of a plane crash, and Prokofiev took over the command of the fighter brigade.

On October 21, the second batch of Soviet Air Force volunteer teams composed of 447 people set off in Almaty to China, and formed four brigades with the first batch of personnel, with 124 aircraft.

There were 447 people in the two volunteer teams, including pilots, aviation mechanics, aviation mechanics, radio telegraphers, meteorological workers, airport directors, code translators, drivers, engineers, aircraft assembly teams, doctors, etc.

Hubei Fancheng Airport and Nanchang Qingyunpu Airport seemed to wake up from hibernation and were immediately full of vitality.

The small and light Soviet-made И-15 and И-16 destroyers, huge and strong СБ bombers, came in a group and landed on the apron in the tearful surprise of the Chinese Air Force soldiers.

The Chinese pilots cheered and rushed towards the war eagle that would share their life and death with them.

The Soviet Union sent the Soviet Air Force volunteer team to fight in China, and its members took the form of rotation. Since 1938, more than 2,000 Soviet Air Force volunteer team members and more than 1,000 aircraft have successively arrived in China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and have severely damaged the Japanese army many times.

Soviet aid is truly a timely help for the Kuomintang Air Force.

At that time, the Kuomintang Air Force aircraft were almost completely flocked to the Battle of Shanghai and urgently needed supplementation.

Originally, the Kuomintang Air Force had ordered 363 aircraft from European and American countries, but by April 1938, only 85 aircraft were obtained, and 13 of them were not installed.

At this critical moment, a large number of Soviet aircraft were continuously transported into China.

By February 1938, the Soviet Union sold 232 aircraft to China, totaling US$22.54 million.

At this time, with the 80 fighter jets and 5 heavy bombers purchased from Yang Fan, the Kuomintang army had a total of 475 combat aircraft, including 310 fighter jets, 15 light bombers, 15 heavy bombers and 8 trainers.

The Sino-Soviet Air Force fought together, and the morale was greatly boosted, causing the losses of Japanese land and naval aircraft to increase sharply, and the Japanese air force was forced to retreat 500 kilometers.

After the cargo was discharged at Guangzhou Taikoo Cang Wharf, 85 planes quickly soared into the sky under the joint operation of Sino-Soviet pilots and flew towards Fancheng Airport, Hubei.

Although the batch of aircraft purchased by Yang Fan is not the top propeller Mustang fighter that will be launched a year later, it is already considered the most advanced fighter and bomber in the world!

In addition, the system produces high-quality iron rules, the aircraft sold in these system shopping malls are much higher than the comprehensive performance of the same type on the market.

Not only were the national pilots so excited that they were extremely excited, but even the Soviet pilots who came to inspect the goods were amazed. They praised them for a while and kept giving thumbs up!

After arriving at Fancheng Airport in Hubei, the Soviet aviation mechanics and engineers also praised it. Later, they even alarmed technical experts from the Soviet Union to come for field surveying and mapping!

The same thing also happened in the medium-sized tanks and dual-mounted anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns that the national army had just obtained, because these equipment are currently at the top level in the world!

As for the confidentiality agreement signed by Yang Fan, the National Government really cannot fully abide by it. After all, they still have to rely on the Soviet foreign aid and the Air Force volunteer team, and there is no way to refuse it at once!

But it doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Japanese, it's not to mention that these aircraft and tanks are still one big class short of Yang Fan's hands, and they are not a threat to themselves at all!

With real money worth 35 million wealth points, Yang Fan stopped saving hard currency and immediately spent silver dollars worth 18 million wealth points with a wave of his hand!

We purchased 20 Tiger heavy tanks, 20 amphibious medium tanks with powerful mechanics, 10 helicopters, 10 trainers, 20 Mustang fighters, as well as a large number of military consumables such as oil, rubber, shells, etc.

After this wave of operation, the tank armored regiment and the Flying Tigers finally reached a new level.

On the last day of May 1938, in the office of the Chairman of Wuhan, Chairman Jiang stood in front of the military map, with his hands behind his back, frowned and deep voices for a long time, then he reached out and drew on the map with a red and blue pencil.

"Commissioner, the first war zone is urgently powered!"

At this moment, Lin Wei, the director of the attendant's room, rushed over and handed the emergency telegram to the front line with both hands.

"What's going on?"

Chairman Jiang lowered his head and glanced at him, frowning even tighter.
Chapter completed!
