Chapter 50: The 97 Fighter Plane (Happy New Year)

  Facing Zhao Wenzhong's questioning, Shan Yixuan also had some worries in his heart. After all, the blood flowing through their veins was that of the great Han nation. This was something he had never done before! "I will try my best to control these people! Of course, I need the strong support of both leaders!" Shan Yixuan said, looking at Zhao Wenzhong and Zheng Wen.

  Zhao Wenxing smiled and said: "We will definitely help out if we can. But I still hope you consider my opinion!"

  Shan Yixuan knew that Zhao Wenzhong wanted him to join the Eighth Route Army, and thought to himself that even if he were to join the Eighth Route Army, it couldn't be now. "Commander Zhao's opinion is of course something I will consider carefully, but not now." Shan Yixuan helplessly spread his hands, at this time putting a tight seal on himself, which was clearly not his style.

  Due to the increasingly fierce attacks by Chinese garrison troops on the Japanese army, Commander-in-Chief of the North China Area Army Terauchi Hisaichi ordered all aircraft at Xuzhou Airport to be relocated in advance. The original plan was to increase the 15 Type 97 fighter planes to 25. All anti-aircraft guns from various airports were also relocated to Yangcheng Airport. Apparently, Yangcheng Airport had become the only lifeline for the Japanese army.

  At one time, 25 planes took off from Xuzhou military airport and more than 30 anti-aircraft guns were transported from Xuzhou Airport to Yancheng Airport.

  Shan Yixuan received the news from Qingteng Yimu and immediately ordered the Snow Fox Independent Squadron and the Linghu Strike Team to prepare for reception. The twenty-five aircraft landed safely at Yangcheng Airport, and the pilots were detained as soon as they got off the plane. Looking at the brand-new twenty-five J-97 fighter jets, Shan Yixuan couldn't help but feel that this wealth was hard-won.

  The next morning, the Snow Fox Independent Regiment successively controlled more than 300 Japanese troops transporting supplies. These included ammunition, bedding, medicine and food. Not a single shot was fired, the battle began in silence and ended in silence.

  "Qingteng, Shuang Yixuan is a real war devil!" A lieutenant exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the more than 20 aircraft parked in the hangar. Overnight, the entire empty Yangcheng Airport was suddenly filled with rows of planes, and no one dared to easily believe it was true!

  Qingteng nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, Shuang Yixuan was born for war! At first I didn't understand, now I finally understand, all of Shuang Yixuan's plans are on these few planes. From the day we built the airport, it meant that this airport would be used by him!"

  "Colonel, are we really going to follow Danyi Xuan like this?" Although they had been named the Snow Fox Independent Brigade by Danyi Xuan, Lieutenant and others still had some doubts in their hearts, after all, the blood flowing through their veins was still that of Japanese people.

  "Otherwise? You think that Yun Yi Xuan is not an idiot, he's clear about what we're doing. So, notify everyone, don't try any small tricks, I don't want anyone of you to lose your life!" Qing Tian Mu looked seriously at the lieutenant in front of him, he didn't want his subordinates to die because of such ignorant and foolish ideas.

  Shan Yixuan walked out of the tower with his brothers from the Linghu Tuiji squadron, and the safe landing of 25 aircraft at Yangcheng Airport made him very excited. As a special forces soldier, he had an urge to try out this century's fighter jets.

  "Xuan Ge!"; Qingteng Yimushan saw Xuan and Ling Hu's brotherly duo walk up to him, bowing his head respectfully.

  Shan Yixuan nodded and said, "The Snow Fox brothers have worked hard! This batch of fighter jets is faster and safer than I imagined. It's all thanks to the efforts of the Snow Fox Independent Squadron. Tonight, we'll give our brothers a bonus meal!"

  Xiao Feng pursed his lips and heard Shan Yixuan attribute all the credit to the Japanese, although he was very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his mouth.

  Shan Yixuan glanced at Xiao Feng beside him, thinking to himself, "Why can't this guy understand my thoughts?" The Japanese had just abandoned their faith and were only just beginning, with a long road ahead of them. They needed encouragement and comfort, not blows! Qingteng Yimu followed Shan Yixuan to a 97-style fighter jet and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xuan, we've captured the pilots, these planes are unmanned, no different from scrap metal?" After being with Xiao Feng and others for a long time, Qingteng Yimu's Chinese had become more standard.

  He touched the wing and nodded, "That batch of Japanese people can't be as obedient to me as you are! In your eyes, your emperor is a god, an all-powerful god! There's no such thing as gods in this world, Hirohito was wrong from the start, it's just that their eyes aren't as bright as yours, after many years, you might be able to see clearly whether what you're doing today is right or wrong."

  Seiichi Aoyagi sighed and said, "Hirohito's biggest mistake was launching a full-scale war. Although the Japanese army has now occupied Southeast Asia on a large scale and established its headquarters in Singapore, the situation is still unfavorable for Japan. At first, Army Minister Sugiyama Hajime confidently told Hirohito that 'the war with China will be over within a month', but now it seems that this statement has become an empty talk."

  Shan Yixuan smiled and said, "Sugiyama has underestimated China's military strength. The war has just begun, how can it end so quickly?" After the July 7th Incident, in a short period of several months, anti-Japanese armed forces sprang up all over China, with Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the Nationalist Party troops, establishing anti-Japanese forces in various regions. The number of participants in each war zone reached tens of millions. At the same time, the Communist Party's guerrilla forces and other armed forces emerged on the battlefield against Japan. Although the Nationalists and Communists had differences, they were united against the enemy on the anti-Japanese front, putting up a strong resistance that made the Japanese army sweat.

  Shan Yixuan opened the engine compartment, looking at the simple control system inside, thinking that it would be great to get a few J-10 fighter jets. This thing is really too shabby. The aircraft uses a Nakajima Ha-1 Ko nine-cylinder air-cooled engine, 610 horsepower, maximum speed 460 km/h, overall height, overall width, and overall length. Self-weight 1110 kg, climb rate 5000 m/5 min 22 sec, highest altitude limit 12250 m, two machine guns mounted on the top of the fuselage, each with 500 rounds. Can carry four 25 kg bombs or two 133 liter drop tanks. Due to its excellent horizontal maneuverability, it is also known as the ultimate lightweight fighter.

  "Brother Xuan, this time we gained 25 Type-97 fighter jets, 30 anti-aircraft guns, and over 300 rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition. Additionally, we got 10 boxes of bullets, and the planes can carry 150 bombs! We also captured a transport team of 350 people! The Snow Fox Independent Brigade and the Linghuo Strike Team participated in the battle, our army didn't suffer any casualties or use a single bullet!" Monkey said, holding a small notebook. In the past, just seeing the weapons seized by Qinglong Village made him ecstatic, now managing the entire Qinglong Village and the Snow Fox Independent Brigade's arsenal made his heart bloom with joy. To prevent the abuse of weapons and military supplies, the large military warehouse in Yangcheng was managed by Monkey and his team, any gun or anything related to military equipment had to go through Monkey's approval first.

  "Is that a lot?" Duan Yixuan jumped off the plane, knowing that this time's harvest was not small, but still didn't think there would be so many good things! The latter nodded and said: "It's just that much......" This data is the result of the monkey checking it many times, absolutely no mistake!

  "Ha ha", Dan Yixuan laughed and said, "This will make the Japanese headquarters furious." He then turned to Qingteng Yimutu: "Yimutu, can you fly a plane?"

  Qingteng Yimut shook his head and said, "No way, Xuan Ge, I'm in the army."

  "What's wrong with the army? I'll take you for a spin!" said Shan Yixuan as he opened the cockpit.

  "Xuan Ge!" Xiao Feng and Lao San shouted in unison as soon as Xuan Yi Xuan lifted the lid. Several people looked at Xuan Yi Xuan with concern, after all, this thing wasn't a tank. If a tank lost control, it would at least still be running on land, and if worst came to worst, it would crash into something and stop moving. But this thing was flying in the sky! If it lost control, it could lead to a catastrophic accident! "Xuan Ge, why don't we just forget about it?" Xiao Feng said with some concern.

  Shan Yixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you guys just watch!" As he spoke, he got into the driver's seat.

  The meaning of special forces is that all troops must be proficient, and before becoming a special forces soldier, Shan Yixuan received 500 hours of flight training in the Army Aviation Corps. After completing his training, he followed the battalion to observe fighter jet flight exercises at the Flight Academy and experienced various flying skills. The J-7 fighter jet in front of him may not be as good as modern fighters, but Shan Yixuan still wants to give it a try!

  A few people saw Yuan Yixuan insist on opening this cargo, although they were worried in their hearts, but still let go of a road.

  With a flick of the switch, a loud roar erupted, drawing everyone's attention. The pilot trapped in an outdoor iron cage pointed at the starting plane and shouted: "Look, our plane!!" The Japanese pilots were shocked to see the plane slowly taxiing out of the hangar, and being inexplicably imprisoned made these highly educated pilots very uncomfortable. Now seeing the plane mysteriously started by someone else, they felt even more uneasy.

  Qingteng looked at the several pilots who were scolding non-stop and shook his head helplessly. The fighter jet was steadily parked on the other side of the runway, and Shan Yixuan's calm expression made Xiao Feng and the others put down the stone in their hearts. Facing this huge flying object in the air, except for the detained pilots, only Shan Yixuan could handle it.

  Shan Yixuan sat in the cockpit, looking at Xiao Feng and Qingteng Yimutu standing on either side of him. He thought to himself that if he was going to play, he had to do it with style, and couldn't let the Japanese laugh at China's incompetence. In his mind, he recalled every detail from his time in the Aviation Brigade, and mentally rehearsed every move he made while attending the Aviation Academy. Taking a deep breath of cool air, he muttered to himself: "Take me flying, baby!" As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Yixuan flipped the switch again, gently pulled the throttle, and the plane shot out with a whooshing sound.
