The tragic tactic of dying together cannot change the final result in the end.

The fourth Wuhan air battle on July 1, 27, the Republic of China ended with the disastrous defeat of the Chinese Air Force. Two aviation combat squadrons stationed at Wangjiadun Airport in Hankou and Nanhu Airport in Wuchang, 36 Il-16 fighter jets and 17 Il-15 fighter jets were basically destroyed on the apron or runway.

Only two Il-15 fighter jets were successfully launched.

Among them, the Il-15 fighter jet, piloted by young Air Force Lieutenant Chen Huaimin, resolutely launched a suicide impact on a Japanese Type 96 land attack aircraft, and finally successfully crashed the Japanese attack aircraft, and also sacrificed its young life!

In this air battle, the Chinese Air Force not only lost 53 precious fighter jets, but also 11 excellent pilots!

On the other hand, the Japanese army only lost two Type 95 fighters and one Type 96 land attack aircraft! The pilot of one Type 95 fighter also successfully parachutes and was rescued!

In addition, the facilities at Hankou Wangjiadun Airport and Wuchang Nanchang Airport were also seriously damaged!

This means that at least in a short time, the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets will no longer take off from Wangjiadun Airport and Nanchang Airport to face the invading Japanese attack planes!

What's worse is that once it is delayed for too long, when the Japanese army repaired Xiaogan's airport, the situation that the Chinese Air Force will face will become worse, because Japanese planes can take off from Xiaogan's airport and launch continuous bombings on Wangjiadun Airport and Nanhu Airport. It will be very difficult for the Chinese Air Force to settle in these two airports again!

This is undoubtedly a crushing defeat for the Chinese Air Force!

...

At noon, Zhong Yi crossed the river to Nanhu Airport.

I saw that the situation at Nanhu Airport was worse than that at Wangjiadun Airport. Not only was the entire terminal blown up, but dozens of huge bomb craters were also blown up on the only two runways!

Above the runway, there were parts of the plane scattered everywhere.

The wreckage of two planes is still smoking.

Not long after Zhong Yi arrived, Feng Yuxiang also arrived.

Seeing Zhong Yi approaching him, Feng Yuxiang asked anxiously: "Brother Zi Ren, what's the situation?"

"It's awful!" Zhong Yi said with a calm expression, "There are two flight squadrons stationed at Wangjiadun Airport and Nanhu Airport, and more than 30 fighter jets, and only two fighter jets took off!"

"Ah?" Feng Yuxiang said in shock, "Just take off two?"

"One of them died with a fire in the tail wing and was about to crash, and they died with a bomber from the Japanese!" Zhong Yi nodded and continued, "I watched the two planes colliding with my own eyes!"

Feng Yuxiang was stunned for a while, then sighed long: "Oh!"

After a while, Feng Yuxiang asked, "Brother, what should I do now?"

"What else can I do?" Zhong Yi said, "I can only report it truthfully."

"Report it truthfully?" Feng Yuxiang said, "Brother, can you polish the situation a little? For example, more than a dozen fighter jets on our side took off in time and fought with the Japanese for a long time, but in the end, most of the fighter jets were shot down because they were outnumbered, but they also successfully shot down more than a dozen fighter jets of the Japanese army?"

"No need!" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "If you lose, you will lose. There is nothing to hide from!"

For most senior generals of the National Army, reporting less damage to the war and more results are routine operations! But Zhong Yi doesn’t want to do this and doesn’t bother to do this!

"Okay." Feng Yuxiang sighed again and said, "Actually, we can't blame us. We have reminded Chongqing that after the Japanese army advanced to Hankou, the air defense circle north of Hankou will definitely have defects. Let them quickly transfer the fighter jets from Wangjiadun Airport and Nanhu Airport, but they just don't listen!"

Zhong Yi was silent. Although he had issued a warning, the Air Force's defeat was definitely to blame for the director of the deputy director of the Wuhan Garrison Command!

...

A quarter of an hour later, Chongqing, the commander-in-chief.

"Ping!" Chen Shi slapped the telegram in his hand on the case and said sternly, "In this Wuhan air battle, our air force suffered such a tragic failure. As the Wuhan Garrison Command, Zhong Yi actually holds the commanding director and has an unshirkable responsibility! He must bear all the responsibility for this!"

Liu Sheng frowned and said, "As far as I know, as early as two days ago, the Wuhan Garrison Command called the Air Force Command and asked them to transfer fighter jets from Hankou Wangjiadun Airport and Wuchang Nanhu Airport."

"So what?" Chen Shi said, "Can this erase the Wuhan Garrison Command's guilt of inadequate protection of the two airports?"

Liu Shiwen said silently.

Bai Chong asked in a grief: "So how do Brother Cixiu thinks he should punish Zhong Yi?"

"Of course it's a dismissal!" Chen Shi said in a deep voice, "and then transfer it to the military court for trial!"

"If you are dismissed, you will be exempted, but punishment is necessary!" As soon as Chen Shi finished speaking, Principal Chang's voice came in from outside the gate. When he turned around, he saw Principal Chang walking in quickly.

"Principal!" Chen Shi and several senior generals quickly came forward.

President Chang waved his hand and said, "The Wuhan Garrison Command failed to protect Wangjiadun and Wuchang Nanhu Airport in Hankou, which caused heavy losses to the Air Force. As the chief of staff who actually assumed command of the Wuhan Garrison Command, Zhong Yi has an unshirkable responsibility. However, because of his outstanding performance in the battle in the early morning of this morning..."

He paused for a moment and said, "I decided to repay the merits and demerits, and neither would be commended nor punished!"

"The principal is wise!" Chen Shi and He Yingpei quickly praised each other, but Bai Chongbei and Liu Sheng rolled their eyes, thinking that I had known for a long time that this would be the result.

...

Half an hour later, the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters.

Feng Yuxiang handed a telegram to Zhong Yi and whispered: "Brother Zi Ren, Chongqing has replied. If the merits and demerits are offset, they will not be commended or punished."

"This is too unfair!" said Luo Zhaozong, director of the Adjutant Office. "The genitals have reminded them to transfer them, but they insisted on not listening. Now something happened, but the board hit the genitals again!"

Not only Luo Zhaozong, but also everyone in the entire General Staff were very angry.

Because of the merits and demerits, the military achievements and rewards they had just obtained were gone again!

Zhong Yi's eyes swept across Luo Zhaozong and a dozen staff officers' faces and asked, "Are you angry?"
