    Hearing the tasks assigned by Yang Zhen, Chen Xi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.  Looking at the only national map on hand that could be used as a reference, he couldn't help but scratch his head and said: "No. 1, there is no meteorological data or terrain data on this road, and there is no test flight. Just rely on this national map.  You just want to fly from Yan'an to Wannan, is this too risky? "

    "Not to mention the deployment of the Japanese aviation forces along the way, we know nothing about it. Even the geographical environment along the way is extremely unfamiliar. It is not clear at all that the terrain there can be used as a reference. There is not even the most basic ground navigation.  Under such circumstances, it is quite dangerous to fly long distances, even if you can refuel in Luoyang, the risk is still very high.¡±

    "Also, although there are no high mountains like those in the west, this route is located between the two major Japanese aviation bases of Wuhan and Nanjing. Even in Henan and Shaanxi, it is still within the operational range of the Japanese North China Front aviation force.  . There are also Japanese aviation bases in Wuhu and Anqing around the destination.¡±

    "The possibility of us encountering Japanese fighter jets along the way is quite high. Without fighter escort, once we are intercepted by Japanese fighter jets, and flying in an unfamiliar environment, we have almost no possibility of escape. Even if we are lucky enough to escape from the Japanese aircraft  Without contact, the possibility of getting lost is quite high.¡±

    "No. 1, when you march and fight, don't you never rely solely on the map for command? Before every battle, don't you also have to look at the terrain of the battlefield in detail? The flight of the aircraft is the same as your command of the battle. You also need to have  Ground reference objects can be used by pilots to determine whether they are lost or not.¡±

    "Especially when there is no navigation, ground reference objects are very important. From Yan'an to southern Anhui, this is not the time for us to come. When we came, there were routes in Mongolia that the Soviet army was already familiar with. Even if we entered the country  , the unfamiliar flight route is also quite short. Once we pass Baotou, we will enter a familiar route.¡±

    "But this time it's different. We haven't flown all the routes at all, and we don't know anything about the reference objects on the ground. There are special landmarks that can be used as instructions, and we don't even know. Simply relying on the compass and the north needle is not  No, but the prerequisite is that there cannot be interception by Japanese aircraft. "

    Regarding the difficulties presented by Chen Xi, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "This trip to southern Anhui is related to the life and death of one of our friendly troops. No matter how great the difficulty is, you must find a way and open up the route from Yan'an to southern Anhui. This is not  I, but the central government has assigned you the task, and you must do everything you can to complete it.¡±

    "However, don't worry too much. In terms of intelligence, I think once the central government agrees to my suggestion, it will find a way to obtain the necessary information. You should trust the central government's intelligence collection capabilities. Although we have not flown this route  , but it is not unfamiliar to the National Government Air Force."

    Seeing Yang Zhen's unchangeable expression, Chen Xi hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and said: "No. 1, if you insist, would you like us to do a test flight first? At least we must be familiar with the route to avoid getting lost.  Your safety is above all else, and as the pilot of your plane, I must be responsible for your safety.¡±

    "We will conduct a test flight first. First, we will try to figure out the terrain on this route and find necessary ground reference objects. In addition, we can figure out the enemy situation on this route and how tight the Japanese air defense is, especially the Japanese aviation.  Activity patterns.¡±

    Regarding Chen Xi's thoughts, Yang Zhen shook his head without thinking: "The news about my trip to southern Anhui must be kept secret, so your plane cannot be tested. All I can give you is a compass and a map. Maybe also  There is a route map from Henan to Wannan by the Nationalist Government Air Force.¡±

    Due to Yang Zhen's insistence, Chen Xi had no choice but to shake his head and said: "No. 1, let me think of a way. If I can map the route, that would be the best. If it doesn't work, I can only bite the bullet and fly blindly. But once  No., I still hope you can think about it carefully. You must know that your safety is related to the safety of the Northeast battlefield."

    At Chen Xi's persuasion, Yang Zhen just shook his head and said: "You don't have to consider my safety. Your task now is to find a feasible solution as quickly as possible. Remember, no test flights are allowed. All actions must go through strict inspections."  Keep it secret, except for your crew, no one else, including our own comrades, is allowed to reveal anything. "

    "In addition, except for the three people on your plane, all the others are loaded with 79 bullets. In addition, you are selecting a C-46 transport plane in the best condition and loading it with light and heavy machine guns, 65 bullets, and some medicines.  , the radio station will be on standby with you.¡±

    "Tell the fighter jet commanders not to return to the Northeast during this period and to garrison in Yan'an. Tell them to do a good job in the Yan'an area."From the air, Japanese aircraft were resolutely not allowed to drop the next bomb in the Yan'an area.  As for the remaining transport planes, all return to the northeast.  According to the original plan, the airlift mission to the central government was carried out.  "

    Before Yang Zhen could finish his words, the bell used as an air defense alarm rang in Yangjialing.  Listening to the clanging bells, Yang Zhen frowned, grabbed the binoculars and said to Chen Xi: "I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. I just finished the mission here, and before you can convey it to me, the Japanese aircraft over there  Come here without invitation. You go and get the radio station, and we'll go check it out together."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen walked out of his cave first, pushed Li Mingbo and Zhang Zixiong who came to stop him, quickly climbed to the top of a hill behind his cave, raised his telescope and looked up towards Yan'an City.  As for the safety of his fleet of planes parked at Yan'an Airport, he is not worried.

    In order to protect these hard-won aircraft, the central government used a lot of manpower to dig a large number of large caves near the airport to park the aircraft.  Facing these semi-natural air raid shelters, the power of Japanese bombers, whether they were throwing explosive bombs or incendiary bombs, was very limited.  Unless they can develop a super bomb, the dozens of kilograms of bombs they use will not be able to damage these cave dwellings hidden under the thick loess.

    Even though the number of planes arriving this time was large, it exceeded the capacity of these cave dwellings.  However, after landing, the aircraft that could not be concealed by the shelter was quickly towed away from the airport and camouflaged.  As long as the Japanese aircraft did not dive very low, they would not be able to detect those well-camouflaged aircraft.

    All aircraft shelters and hiding places have small runways where these aircraft can taxi directly to the take-off runway when necessary.  With these countermeasures in place, Yang Zhen is not worried about the safety of his own fleet. What he wants to see is the response capabilities of the twelve fighter jets accompanying him this time.

    However, the performance of the aviation force in this battle still satisfied Yang Zhen.  Just when Yang Zhen climbed to the top of the mountain and raised his telescope, eight P-39 fighter jets quickly took off from Yan'an Airport to face the incoming Japanese bombers.  An air battle unfolded within Yang Zhen's field of vision.

    Looking at the Japanese bombers without fighter escorts in the sky, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "The central government's confidentiality work is still quite tight. The Japanese obviously did not expect that there would be fighter jets in Yan'an, otherwise they would have carried out air strikes on Yan'an.  , will not send out only a bomber group without fighter escort.¡±

    In addition to the fact that the Japanese army only sent bombers and not fighter escorts, Yang Zhen judged that the Japanese army did not know that a group of fighter jets had arrived in Yan'an.  Yang Zhen also judged from the bombing targets of the Japanese bombers that the Japanese obviously did not know that a large fleet had arrived in Yan'an.  "

    ¡°Otherwise, they would not have chosen the urban area of ??Yan¡¯an as the key target for bombing, instead of the airport, which was usually empty except for the Anti-Japanese Alliance¡¯s transport fleet and the occasional visit of U.S. and Soviet transport planes.  Because Yan'an Airport usually has no targets worth bombing for them.

    The airport currently used in Yan'an was specially expanded by the central government on a large scale after the establishment of the air corridor.  In addition to lengthening and widening the runway, a large number of aircraft shelters were also excavated on the side of Qingliang Mountain.  Although there is a lack of towing vehicles and necessary gasoline, there are only two towing vehicles in the entire airport and a refueling truck left over from the Northeast Army.  However, the central government specially recruited some horses from the border areas for this purpose.

    In order to expand the airport to be able to accommodate a large number of aircraft takeoffs and landings in the shortest possible time despite the weak foundation and lack of large-scale construction machinery, in addition to mobilizing a large number of security forces to participate in the war in turn, almost all leaders of the Central Committee  They all participated in labor on the construction site.

    Even under the premise that migrant workers could not be recruited due to confidentiality, the 359th Brigade that was transferred back from the front line was pulled to the airport construction site as soon as they arrived in Yan'an to participate in the expansion of the airport.  After months of hard work, the airport expansion was finally completed before the freezing weather.

    However, although this airport located at the foot of Qingliang Mountain in Dongguan, Yan'an has undergone large-scale expansion, it is limited by original conditions. There is only a simple wooden tower and only two air radio stations used to direct aircraft takeoffs and landings.  As for other things, there is only a flag used to replace the anemometer.

    In the entire Yan'an Airport, except for the frequent visits by Anti-Japanese Alliance aircraft, only Soviet transport aircraft and National Government aircraft occasionally took off and landed.  Such an airport has no targets worthy of bombing and is difficult for the Japanese army to attack.  Compared with the central government agencies they thought were still stationed in Yan'an City, this airport did not attract the slightest interest from the Japanese army.

    So Yang Zhen knew that they had not discovered the fleet he led since the incoming Japanese aircraft targeted Yan'an city.  Otherwise, use the dateIn terms of human character, even if there is a small amount of anti-aircraft fire cover at the airport, they will destroy it at all costs.

    The target of the Japanese aircraft was not the airport. While Yang Zhen was relieved, he was also worried about the people in Yan'an City.  The airport is important, but the safety of the people in Yan'an City is equally important.  Whether one's own fighter jets can disperse these bombers or even force them to retreat is not only related to whether the Anti-Alliance Aviation Army can get a good start in front of the central leadership, but also means whether the people of Yan'an can suffer less losses.
