Zhou Zhihan had never seen Zhou Zhirou before, but on the way he came just now, Colonel Mao Bangchu had already told him that Lieutenant General Zhou Zhirou, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, would also go to the test flight site in person.

No one has been able to fly the nine Martin 139wc bombers bought from the United States until now. Principal Jiang asked Zhou Zhirou several times about this matter.

Zhou Zhirou was also very anxious and was waiting for Zhou Zhihan to return to China ten days ago.

Everyone knows that Zhou Zhihan is a disciple of Major General Pat Plov of Randolph Air Force Academy and will definitely fly this bomber.

Before, China had no such large heavy bomber, and was carefully considered for safety. The Air Force Department believes that existing pilots cannot fly the Martin 139 WC bomber at will without training.

These nine heavy bombers are too important to the Chinese Air Force, and these bombers are all purchased by private funds. They are of great significance and must not make any mistakes.

After becoming a student of Principal Pat Prov, Zhou Zhihan was deeply loved by the principal. Not only did he fly all the planes in Randolph Aviation School, the principal also personally took him to the army to fly a variety of fighter jets, including the Martin 139wc heavy bomber!

On the way here just now, as the deputy commander of the Air Force whom Principal Jiang valued very much, Mao Bangchu told Zhou Zhihan that the Chairman had decided to go to war with the Japanese since the early morning of the July 7 Incident. Therefore, these nine heavy bombers are of great significance to the National Government Air Force, which is preparing to fight the Japanese devils to the end.

The principal of the general asked Mao Bangchu if China and Japan go to war, could the Chinese air force eat all the forces of the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai?

Although I had never seen Zhou Zhirou, Zhou Zhihan recognized the lieutenant general with a medium figure and a smiling face at first sight.

"My top student, I've finally waited for you!" Zhou Zhirou smiled and walked towards Zhou Zhihan. He stretched out his index finger with a very kind gesture between his old friends and repeatedly pointed Zhou Zhihan, "Our bomber has arrived long ago, and now everything is ready. I just owe you this strong east wind!"

Zhou Zhirou's words and actions made Zhou Zhirou a little flattered. Zhou Zhirou, commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, came to greet him personally. The reception level was something Zhou Zhihan had never thought of before.

Seeing Zhou Zhirou say "my top student" to Zhou Zhihan, Mao Bangchu, who was standing aside and calmly, twitched the corner of his mouth.

When the Air Force was formed, Mao Bangchu thought that Principal Jiang would hand over the position of commander-in-chief of the Air Force to him, but who knew that the position of commander-in-chief was taken away by Zhou Zhirou, who was affiliated with the army. He only got a deputy commander, which made him very upset.

When Zhou Zhirou first came, she was just a major general in the army and knew nothing about the Air Force. After a year of coming to the Air Force, she was promoted to Lieutenant General, which made Mao Gangchu even more depressed.

However, after the July 7 Incident, Principal Jiang first told Mao Bangchu the secret of deciding to declare war on Japan, rather than Zhou Zhirou, which made Mao Bangchu find a psychological balance again.

"General!"

Zhou Zhihan saluted Zhou Zhirou.

Zhou Zhirou returned the greeting, then held Zhou Zhihan's hand affectionately, turned around and asked the Air Force lieutenant behind him, "Zhi Han's name is just the same as mine. Look, does he look like my little brother?"

Mao Bangchu's mouth twitched again, Zhou Zhirou, your method of winning over people is really clever!

Seeing the lieutenant general questioning like this, the school officials naturally knew how to answer.

"The commander-in-chief and the top student were all family 500 years ago!"

"The commander is majestic and strict, and the top students are handsome and majestic. You two stand together and you really feel like a family!"

“…”

“…”

If you want to be in the national army and the officialdom, who would not say a few nice words?

Since the Air Force Commander said that Zhou Zhihan was his little brother, everyone must agree that Zhou Zhihan was the commander's little brother.

"It's so cold!" Mao Bangchu stepped forward and said, "I heard from Ambassador Hu Shi that since you became the proud disciple of President Pat Plov of Randolph Air Force Academy, you have almost flew all the US military aircraft. I will pick you up today and want you to fly this Martin 139wc bomber into the sky and set an example for our Air Force elites."

Mao Bangchu is currently the deputy commander of the Chinese Air Force, and the nephew of Principal Jiang's first wife. He has great power. Although he is the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhou Zhirou still wants to give him three points in many major events.

"Yes! Teacher!"

Zhou Zhihan bowed and said.

This sentence of teacher makes Mao Bang's original intention sweeter than drinking honey.

"The top students are the top students!" Zhou Zhirou gave Zhou Zhihan a thumbs up, and then whispered in a low voice that Zhou Zhihan could only hear, "Several pilots of the US Air Force sent the military plane here and stood up and returned to China. The American flight instructor we invited had not arrived yet.

After the July 7 Incident, the Chairman was worried that the Japanese Air Force would attack Nanjing Airport, so he wanted to fly these heavy bombers to Zhoujiakou Airport, and our pilots had not yet flown over such heavy bombers.

During this period, I couldn't sleep or eat every day, afraid that the Japanese would know the location of these heavy bombers, so I sent fighter planes to attack. Now that you are finally back, this important task will be handed over to you."

"Make sure to complete the task!"

Zhou Zhihan said.

Zhou Zhirou nodded with satisfaction: "Zhihan, I will introduce you to some of our top pilots in the Chinese Air Force."

Zhou Zhirou said as she stretched out her palm and introduced the nine pilots in flight suits to Zhou Zhihan:

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Chinese Air Force Destroyer Army and the captain of the 4th Air Brigade!"

Zhou Zhihan immediately showed admiration on his face, and first gave a military salute: "I admire Captain Gao's name for a long time!"

Gao Zhihang was not tall and looked very capable. His facial features were angular and bright eyes. He gave Zhou Zhihan a military salute and smiled sincerely: "I am the name I admire you, our top student in the Chinese Air Force, and a top student in the Randolph Air Force Academy!"

Zhou Zhirou introduced a pilot in her 30s and said: "This is Major Xu Huansheng, a first-class instructor at Jianqiao Central Aviation College. He is currently also the deputy flight of Principal Jiang's special plane."

Xu Huansheng?

Zhou Zhihan remembered that this was the Air Force pilot who flew a Martin 139wc bomber with Tong Yanbo to launch a "bomb flyer" in Japan. He was also the first Chinese Air Force pilot to fly a military plane in Japan.

Zhou Zhihan saluted and said sincerely: "I have long admired your name, and it is well-known!"

Zhou Zhihan's words were really not polite, and he really felt it was well-known. Facing the first national hero to fly over Japan's mainland, who would be excited!

Zhou Zhihan thought to himself, since Xu Huansheng is here, is his partner Tong Yanbo also here?

"This is also a first-class instructor at Jianqiao Central Aviation College, Captain Tong Yanbo. He is good at blind flights and can take off and land planes without lighting in the dark. He is the best pilot in our Chinese Air Force's night flight."

It's indeed Tong Yanbo!

It is also well-known and has long been revered to be a famous name!

"This is the captain of the 25th Squadron, Lieutenant Zhang Mufei."

Zhang Mufei is really young, about the same age as Zhou Zhihan, and is just as handsome and elegant. The two of them hit it off at first sight.

Hiss ~~

Zhou Zhihan thought Zhang Mufei looked so familiar.

I remembered that Zhang Mufei should be the pilot who flew the No. 03 P26 fighter yesterday, but it was obvious that Zhang Mufei did not recognize the top student standing in front of him, the "Japanese" pilot who flew the Type 95 water reconnaissance plane yesterday.

Seeing that Zhang Mufei did not recognize him, Zhou Zhihan did not mention what happened yesterday, which was not suitable here.

Then, Zhou Zhirou also introduced several other pilots to Zhou Zhihan, who remembered their names, and the others were relatively unfamiliar.

But Zhou Zhihan knew that most of these nine pilots would sprinkle blood in the air battle of the Defense Kingdom a month later.
Chapter completed!
