Shanxi,Taiyuan,Beijing Airport

The simple airport was already full of people. The welcoming team carried a long banner that read "Warmly welcome the 19th Southwest Anti-Japanese Route Army." The leader was dressed in military uniform and surrounded by guards. His face was calm and calm.

, can't tell the depth, and has the aura of someone who has been in power for a long time.

Yan Xishan, director of the Shanxi Appeasement Office, is also familiar to the Chinese people as the King of Shanxi. He is a graduate of the sixth phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, a member of the Qing Dynasty Army Infantry Section, and a member of the alliance. He organized and led the Taiyuan Xinhai Uprising. He can be regarded as a

The Kuomintang is old.

"Coming, coming"[

From time to time, there was a roar in the sky in the south, and then a large plane that had never been seen in Shanxi was seen flying from the sky. The simple North Airport did not even have a navigation building, and the plane circled for a while.

After seeing the ground personnel giving the signal to land, they aimed at the runway and landed in one breath. The huge aircraft was driven by a skilled pilot, and the landing process was easier than the landing of a Shanxi pilot flying a wooden biplane.

Too much stronger.

"Director, this Southwest plane is really big." An attendant next to Yan Xishan said in a low voice, "When I was abroad in the past two years, I only saw such big planes occasionally.

The military’s advanced transport aircraft.”

Yan Xishan nodded, quite satisfied with this attendant who had just returned from studying in the West, because he was different from those old people. He had a relatively new vision and understood more new things in the world. "The military power in the southwest is too strong.

It is a good thing for the country and the people that we can unite and go north to fight against Japan this time. As long as they don't come "indiscriminately", we will follow the orders of the central government and try our best to cooperate."

After the plane landed, it attracted roars of applause from the welcoming crowd. Compared with the several old-fashioned planes parked on the airport lawn, the huge plane looked much more powerful. Many of Shanxi's planes were wooden planes with two wings.

It was too risky for training, and they dared not fly too far if they could fly. But today, the welcoming crowd organized by the Shanxi Appeasement Office saw with their own eyes a large aircraft flying thousands of miles from the southwest.

This clumsy-looking aircraft was internally named "Moshan". This is the first specially designed transport aircraft in Southwest China. Different from the previous transport aircraft modified with H-1 or H-2, this new transport aircraft is specially designed for transport aircraft.

It is designed for tactical transportation in the military field. The specially reinforced bilge design, the quadruple "Kunlun" engine with increased horsepower, and the bloated cabin make people even doubt whether it can fly.

The military transport aircraft was a transport aircraft development project launched in 1926. During the Sino-Burmese War that year, transportation in the southwest was stretched, and almost all bombers were mobilized to temporarily serve as transportation forces, which also delayed the launch of the campaign by half a month.

At that time, the development plan of a special-purpose tactical military transport aircraft was included in the key military research projects.

This new type of transport aircraft, successfully developed after five years, has a maximum flight speed of 390 kilometers per hour, a cruising speed of 280 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 2800 kilometers, and a practical ceiling of 7500 meters. It has a standard crew of four and a crew of 45.

The combined engine ensures heavy-duty capabilities, and the new structure and body design using new materials ensure the load-bearing capacity, reaching 42 tons, which is much stronger than the heavy-duty capacity of the H-2 bomber. It is just enough to transport a bomber carrying only basic combat equipment.

As for weapons, it's standard company.

This kind of aircraft is relatively advanced and is not far behind when compared with Western countries. For example, the 47-type transport aircraft produced by the United States at the same time has twin engines. Due to problems with the aircraft structure design, material use and cost, other

The technical indicators are good, but not as good as z

The h-31 transport aircraft has a capacity of less than 30 people. Southwest China's 31 transport aircraft adopts an all-metal structure. In addition to the new alloy steel as the main structure, it also uses some new aluminum alloys to reduce the weight of the aircraft.

It not only has its own weight, but also ensures the weight, safety and stability of the aircraft.

In one and a half years, its actual production number reached 50. In 1931, the production line had just been installed. The production speed of this kind of aircraft was extremely slow. Even if the aircraft was manufactured on the assembly line, the manufacturing speed of the aircraft was very slow.

Only two aircraft could be completed in a month. Later, due to the outbreak of the 917 incident in Northeast China, the demand for this kind of transport aircraft became even more prominent. The Southwest People's Army had unprecedented needs for medium and long-distance troop projection. If the upfront cost was not high, the army would still have

More hunting gear.

After the plane came to a stop, the rear cabin door was opened. A group of Southwest Army soldiers wearing the new 1931 camouflage, led by a major officer and armed only with pistols, ran in formation to the front of the welcoming crowd.

"Director, in terms of military appearance and momentum, this Southwest Army is probably not even comparable to the French Army I saw in France, which is said to be the best in the world. Perhaps only the New German Army I saw in Germany can compare. Moreover,

These soldiers don't seem to be combatants." It was also the first time for the attendant to see formalized Southwest soldiers. They were different from the photos and had a greater visual impact.

"The Southwest Army has a certain momentum that Shanxi cannot defeat."

After a long time, Yan Xishan said such a sentence. At his level, he has seen a lot from this small army. It seems that the reports in the newspapers have not been untrue. There is indeed a very special army in the southwest.

Strong military power.

"Take a break and stand at attention"

After the major lined up, he ran towards Yan Xishan and others and said loudly, "The Southwest People's Army Air Force 203 Ground Service Unit was ordered to arrive at Beijiao Airport."

"Welcome, welcome, Southwest is determined to resist Japan, which is a blessing for China. I, Yan Xishan, welcome the arrival of the Southwest Army on behalf of the folks in Shanxi."

Yan Xishan knew that this place was too far from the southwest. If Zhang Shusheng wanted to send his troops to the north, he could only transfer them from somewhere. After receiving a call from Nanjing, he knew that the other party would transport a group of vanguard troops northward by plane, and then they would move forward.

The troops will enter Shanxi via the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway that was just opened at the beginning of the year, and then board the Zhengtai Train Line in Taiyuan to enter Hebei.

The ensuing handover ceremony was relatively simple. To Yan Xishan, the Beijiao Airport was not a great place at all. Under the attention of the whole country, lending the airport to the Southwest Army was just a favor. After all, once the Japanese army invaded Pingjin and Hebei,

, his Shanxi is also in danger

He was also preparing for the anti-Japanese war, but his preparations were limited to the defense of Shanxi, and he did not dare to think of defending the Pingjin area for the time being. For the North Airport, he only dispatched one battalion of "security troops" to guard it. As long as the southwest

If our soldiers do not attack Shanxi, let their planes fly wherever they want.

After arriving at the airport, the ground crew and engineers of the Southwest Air Force quickly started work. First, they unloaded several key equipment from the aircraft. Because there was no heavy-duty handling machinery, they could only carry the heavy communication and command equipment on their shoulders.

We arrived at the only two-story old building in the airport. Some airport-specific equipment such as meteorological equipment, indicator lights, and signal lights were also placed one after another.[

Next, when the second zh-31 transport plane landed, a batch of very important quick-setting cement was unloaded. The old runway, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was uneven in many places and needed urgent repairs. Although this

This advanced ZH-31 transport aircraft claims to be able to land on lawns, but that is only when landing infrequently. Repairing the runway, emergency paving of the apron, etc. are all urgent matters.

On the morning of the third day, after more than ten aircraft took off and landed, Beihang Airport finally had the conditions for a large fleet of aircraft to take off and land.

Chengdu, Shuangliu Military Airport.

"Comrades, as the first batch of the Southwest People's Army to go north, you shoulder a huge historical mission. The situation of joint resistance against Japan will begin from the moment you step onto the battlefield.

At this time, the great enemy is facing us. Political differences, regional differences, and ethnic differences must all be put aside. The most important thing at the moment is to unite to resist Japan and stop the Japanese aggression. Treat the entire nation as the country, and use everyone's strength to protect our country.

The vastness of China, a five-thousand-year heritage, cannot be destroyed in our generation. In ancient times, there were Generals Qi Jiguang who killed Japanese invaders, and today there will also be the iron-blooded soldiers of the Southwest who destroyed bandits. The survival of the nation and the security of the race depend on you.

The steel gun in hand is used to defend.

I am full of expectations for you in the coming battle. I hope you will take protecting the homeland and expelling the Japanese invaders as your purpose, safeguard the land and the people, and protect the homeland and the country."

In the airport square, Zhang Shusheng stood on the review stage in a military uniform and spoke these short words impassionedly. He knew that for these soldiers who were about to board the plane and rush to the north, he had to say more that they were already murderous.

Chen Jun and other military and political officers of the Third Division were all present. The first to set off to the north was the Dai Anlan Regiment. The not-yet-full Third Regiment had nearly 4,000 people. Every soldier held a Chinese-style semi-automatic rifle or even a 26

A submachine gun. Not many people carry it, and the tactical bag contains enough boxes for one battle.

In addition, everyone carries a battlefield first-aid kit unique to the southwest. This seemingly inconspicuous first-aid kit has miraculous effects on stopping bleeding and inhibiting the deterioration of wounds, and is regarded by every soldier as a life-saving tool.

"The flag presentation ceremony begins"

As the military commander's order was issued, Dai Anlan, commander of the third regiment, quickly ran to the colonel parade, stood at attention and saluted Zhang Shusheng. "Report to the commander-in-chief, Dai Anlan, commander of the third regiment of the main third division, is reporting to you!"

Zhang Shusheng had a good impression of Dai Anlan. Whether it was his performance in history or today, he can be regarded as a model for southwest soldiers. He took a flag from the military commander and handed it to Dai Anlan with both hands, "

It is said that the flag presentation ceremony should be held after the battle is won, but I have full confidence in you. This time you will definitely perform to the satisfaction of 40,000 people. This is an iron-blooded flag, and the Third Regiment is the vanguard, let it be

Let’s fly on the front lines of Beijing and Tianjin.”

"Yes." Dai Anlan excitedly took the flag and shook it open towards the soldiers of the third regiment below. He saw the bright red flag with the words "Iron Blood Regiment" written on it.

"Where the flag is and the people are, we will fight to the death on the battlefield."

The soldiers of the three regiments below were also excited and shouted loudly: "Where the flag is and the people are, we will fight to the death on the battlefield."

After the ceremony, Chen Jun walked to the front of the troops and shouted: "Everyone is here, take a break and stand at attention. The third regiment of the third division, start boarding."

The construction of the huge Chengdu Shuangliu Military Airport began after the recovery of Chengdu. At that time, it was considered that the future recovery of Shaanxi or the Northwest would require this airport as a key airport. Therefore, the equipment is complete and the airport construction level is absolutely top-notch in China, along with Kunming Airport and Guangzhou Airport.

Bao'an Airport, Guangxi Fangchenggang Border Defense Airport, etc. are on the same level.

Three ZH-31 transport planes had already been parked on the runway, with the rear cabin doors wide open, just waiting for the hard-blooded men to board the plane. The soldiers of the third regiment were quickly divided into companies, with three companies boarding the plane first, and the rest

The company ran to the transport plane parked on the tarmac and boarded the plane one by one.

"Tower, number 01 requesting takeoff."

"Agree to take off"

After receiving the takeoff order, the leading aircraft on the runway began to slide, the engine gradually started, and the propellers began to rotate. Then the speed became faster and faster, and then the sound of the engine became louder and louder. The pilot pulled the joystick and the aircraft took off.

After gliding for a few hundred meters, he raised his head slightly and left the ground, quickly rushing into the air.[

Dai Anlan was one of the first people to board the plane. Looking at the sky outside and the vast land below, he couldn't help but have a feeling of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. He had made all psychological preparations for this expedition to Pingjin.

After a flight of less than three hours, the plane quickly reached the sky above Taiyuan and landed at Bei Airport.

On May 3, after the Japanese army consolidated the situation in Tianjin, they quickly launched a fierce attack in the direction of Langfang. This was defended by the 19th Division of Chen Cheng's 18th Route Army. Compared with the 18th Division, although this 19th Division was not the first

Several central elite divisions have been reorganized, but they are definitely not comparable to the previous Kuomintang army.

The troops are all equipped with Lee-Enfield rifles authorized by the British, and are equipped with new grenades produced by the Nanjing Arsenal. The configuration level of mortars and heavy machine guns has also reached the level of the Japanese standing divisions. Even in the past, the most powerful

Regarding the artillery that caused the Chinese people to suffer, Chiang Kai-shek also equipped these dozen main central elite divisions with all-new 105mm artillery. Unfortunately, the barrel factory for this artillery is still under construction, and the gun steel factory is still under construction.

Also under construction in the Hefei area, the 18th and 19th Divisions used goods stocked by the British, but compared with the Japanese army, they were at least on par.

Generally speaking, the 19th Division garrisoned in Langfang is definitely not the soft-legged KMT army of the past. The battalion and regiment-level officers are all modern military talents who graduated from Huangpu Military Academy or Baoding Military Academy. Due to underlying reasons, Chiang Kai-shek was not interested in these

The training of the elite division is very attentive. The troops are all French army instructors, standardized equipment, and standardized training, so that this group of Chiang Kai-shek's ace troops can barely compete with the Southwest. That's all.

It was Chiang Kai-shek's biggest reliance under the clouds of civil war in 2001.
