Zhang Jihui and his wingman were chasing an F-86 over Zhuoxi. They fired twice in a row, and finally hit the left wing of the F-86 the second time. Stop swinging from side to side and fly to the north, lowering the altitude while flying.Zhang Jihui was about to turn to chase after the F-86, planning to make up for it until he fell to the ground.
Zhang Jihui felt a flash of fire, and a light whip composed of tracer bullets flew past her left side.He instinctively pulled the lever to the right, then to the left, but didn't seem to escape the attack, and a second string of tracers appeared to his right.
Zhang Jihui looked back for a while, and the current situation immediately appeared in his head: two F-86s were chasing him and his wingman respectively, and the F-86 chasing him was probably in a more irritable mood. The machine gun bursts opened fire.
The flying altitude is 1500 meters, and there is still room to lower the altitude and accelerate to get rid of the attack.But Zhuoxi is the enemy's line of defense, and there may be 20mm Oerlikon or 40mm machine guns on the ground.
Zhang Jihui communicated with the wingman by radio, and the two completed the tactical arrangement in an instant.Zhang Jihui's MiG-15bis raised its nose and climbed suddenly, while the wingman made a slight turn and then accelerated to climb.
1500 meters, 2000 meters, 2300 meters, 2500 meters... Behind Zhang Jihui, the F-86 was still chasing closely, firing from time to time.While climbing up, Zhang Jihui had to sway left and right to avoid shells.Although the national army pilot who likes shooting waves in the back is constantly squandering ammunition, if the MiG-15bis is accidentally bitten by a 12.7mm machine gun, the next injured aircraft may basically have no chance of winning.
Zhang Jihui climbed to 4500 meters, and the F-86 was still behind him, but the distance between the two sides gradually opened up. Seeing that Zhang Jihui basically ran out of the effective range of his 86mm machine gun, the F-12.7 stopped firing now, but he was reluctant. Give up the pursuit.
At a distance of 5000 meters, Zhang Jihui reconfirmed the flight status of the closely chasing F-86, maneuvered the plane to make a sharp turn and lowered the altitude, trying to bite the rear hemisphere of the F-86.However, the F-86 also noticed Zhang Jihui's movement and began to make a sharp turn along the side.The battle of circling and biting each other is a hard and tiring job for the two pilots. With the speed bonus of the dive, Zhang Jihui's circling angular speed is not bad at this time... Find a decent firing window, 37mm Fired a burst with the 23mm cannon. The 23mm shell misses, and the 37mm shell miraculously misses a shot.
For fighter jets, a single 37mm gun is basically hopeless.Seeing the raging flames erupting from the tail of the F-86, Zhang Jihui followed up and fired another salvo in the best shooting window, and the F-86 immediately disintegrated in the air.
张积慧在朝鲜战场击落了1架F-86和2架F-80。如果刚才拖着烟逃窜的F-86最后坠落——张积慧放松下来的脑子开始打小算盘，再加上刚刚这一架，他的战绩就达到5架。

Taipei, Presidential Palace.
"Report to Mr. Guo, Mr. Jiang has arrived at the presidential palace. He is on the ground." Guo Jiqiao's secretary said in a low voice on the phone.
"Report to Mr. Guo, the Standing Committee member is at the presidential palace and said he wants you to come up to see him immediately."
The second call made by Guo Jiqiao's secretary brought Guo Jiqiao and William Childs up from the seventh floor of the basement.From the special elevator to the ground, Guo Jiqiao looked out the window and saw that Taipei City was still peaceful. There were indeed no communist planes flying around to drop bombs.
——But when President Chang's camp was bombed into the sky, the night sky in Taichung was also peaceful.
"In the early hours of this morning, the president's camp was suddenly attacked. Although we have not fully grasped the situation in Taichung, but..." Chiang Ching-kuo's face was haggard, and his voice seemed anxious, "We must be prepared for the death of the president. Chief Guo, Chaier General Si, the presidential camp was suddenly attacked, and we heard that a large number of communist troops landed in Taichung and Tainan, we must mobilize mobile forces, and take advantage of the communist army's unstable foothold on the beach, decisively launch a counterattack with heavy troops and regain the beach!"
"Counterattacks against beachheads and anti-landing issues are being carefully planned by the Ministry of National Defense and the US military advisory group," Guo Jiqiao said. Troops are being dispatched, and everything is still under control."
"I haven't seen any signs of mobilizing the Fifth and Sixth Armies of Taipei to go south. How to carry out a counterattack with heavy equipment? If the counterattack is frustrated, how can we prevent the Communist Army from expanding its landing position?" Jiang Jingguo said dissatisfiedly, "Now the First Corps has no leader. Have you passed the command? Have you notified my mother to return to Taiwan immediately? No, I want to go to the command below you and personally supervise the battle."
"Mr. Chiang Ching-kuo," said William Childs, "you are not the Minister of Defense, nor are you a senior staff member. You are only the director of the General Political Department of the Ministry of Defense. It is not your job to plan a counterattack campaign."
"What did you say?" Jiang Jingguo felt something was wrong.
"Young Master Jiang, let our professional military personnel take over the supreme command of the party-state and the army. You should prepare for the funeral first."
"What authority do you have to take over supreme command?"
"It's not taking over. The highest command is in my hands now. Do you want to seize power?"
"What?" Hearing Guo Jiqiao's words, Jiang Jingguo felt that the two men were planning to rebel. "According to the party's constitution, an extraordinary plenary session needs to be held immediately. I am a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the First Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee and a member of the Central Committee for Reform. Director of the regiment...it is not your turn to intervene in the matter of the supreme leader. My father put you in the position of defense minister, so you are amazing? If you hadn't brought 15 people to Taiwan..."
Click and click.
Guo Jiqiao's secretary and a US guard pulled the sleeve of the pistol, and pointed the two pistols at Chiang Ching-kuo.
Guo Jiqiao sighed, closed his eyes and shook his head, and when he opened his eyes again, his gun was holstered to his right hand, aiming firmly at Jiang Jingguo at his waist.
William Childs turned his head to look outside the hall of the Presidential Palace. All the intelligence personnel brought by Chiang Ching-kuo had been controlled.
"Chiang Ching-kuo, we don't like your succession to the throne," said William Childs.
……
"General Childs, I think the political situation in Taipei is very stable now," Guo Jiqiao and William Childs took the elevator to the bottom of the underground bunker again, and he said to William Childs, "Originally we planned to use The coup deposed Chiang Kai-shek, there is no need to launch a coup now, the other party has helped us eliminate Chiang Kai-shek, all you need is to bring the new president over by air.”
"General Guo, the new president will be here soon," said William Childs, "but now your Republic of China is indeed facing a new situation. . trouble."
"I know, you asked us to hold on to the front." Guo Jiqiao said, "The current problem, let me tell the truth, I have no confidence in holding the CCP's attack head-on. Just now I have been wondering, if we defend Can't stop, where to retreat."
"Withdraw to where?"
William Childs smiled wryly, "Let me tell the truth, the United States did not prepare a new place for you before... I think the President and the Secretary of State are trying to find a way."
Chapter 44, Xinhua News Agency Taiwan Frontline April [-]th
At 11 a.m., Zhang Zhen marked the area currently controlled by the landing force on the map.
In the past 7 hours, the main combat units of the 78th Amphibious Mechanized Division, the 1st Marine Division, and the 20th Division of the 58th Army went ashore. In the north of the landing site, the 1st Regiment of the 1st Marine Division arrived at Zhuoshui Creek. Face off across the stream.South of the landing field, the 20th Army and the 1nd Regiment of the 2st Marine Division arrived on the north bank of Beigang River.Developing in depth, the landing force has roughly advanced 15 to 20 kilometers inward, roughly to protect the three landing ship ro-ro docks under construction at the main landing site from artillery fire.
Beigang Creek is narrower and shallower than Zhuoshui Creek, and the water volume is also small. If T-34-85 and "Sherman" are equipped with diving devices, it is not too difficult to wade across the river.But now our army's tanks have not yet landed, and one battalion of the national army's tanks has been wiped out, and the rest of the reinforcements are still on the way.
Taiwan Island is nearly 400 kilometers long from north to south, with a maximum width of 144 kilometers from east to west. In the east of the middle is a central mountain range that runs through it. Therefore, the terrain from the central part of the island to the west coast gradually changes from high to low.The abundant rainfall has created a large number of independent rivers in the west of the island, which flow westward from the central mountain range to the sea.These rivers divided the western part of the island into small flat lands. Our army's landing troops landed between Taichung and Tainan. Whether they were attacking north or south, they would encounter a river every few kilometers.
This is why amphibious tanks are necessary for the liberation of Taiwan.Not only is the amphibious tank used to break through the first wave of the landing battle, but also the PT-76, an amphibious tank that can float into the river when it hits the river, is also the most suitable for combat and movement after landing on the island.
The original intention of the Soviet Union to develop the PT-76 was actually to allow the armored forces to have a light tank that ignored the terrain in the river-intensive areas of Central and Western Europe, and was equipped for the armored reconnaissance battalions and reconnaissance regiments of the tank forces.After all, an average of 40 kilometers in Western Europe will encounter a river. Whether it is an engineer bridge or a tank equipped with a submarine device, it is too slow.Instead, it is used to launch amphibious campaigns, but it is only a secondary use of PT-76.
"Now the landing site is basically safe. After landing, the four air defense missile systems were deployed 3 kilometers northeast and 3 kilometers northwest of the landing site, and they all started to work normally," Zhang Zhen reported to Suyu. , so the current position has not encountered any enemy air strikes from the north. At 9:16 a.m., two batches of 9 enemy planes attacked from the direction of Tainan and Kaohsiung. The air defense system shot down 2 of them, and the remaining enemy planes attacked the beach The bombing and strafing was carried out, but no key losses were caused. Our landing force only has 1 sets of Hongqi-2 and 2 sets of Hongqi-5, and the density of anti-aircraft firepower is still slightly lacking. This situation may last until 6-[-] pm.”
The prefabricated large iron box is still being installed by the landing craft with its towed roof. Although there is no interference from hostile forces at sea and in the air, such a complex large component cannot be completed by magic.According to the scheduled plan, the installation was completed and opened to traffic at 3:30 p.m., and then the large tank landing ship opened its cabin at the artificial dock to release the vehicle.
Anti-aircraft missile systems, T-34-85 tanks and SU-100 tank destroyers, heavy artillery towed by trucks, 108mm rocket launchers, trucks full of ammunition and supplies...all rely on these three artificial docks.Which supplies to unload first?
Fortunately, there is no need to scramble for the pier in a mess, the logistics center in Xiamen has been clearly arranged.Everything is planned.If there are new changes during the execution of the plan, the logistics center can also respond and adjust in real time.
"Has the 59th Division come ashore?" Su Yu asked.
"The last tank battalion of the 59th Division and the 78th Division is going ashore. We should be able to receive news in 10 to 20 minutes."
……
In Penghu Bay, dozens of landing craft that departed in the early morning returned to their berths one after another.Except for one that was destroyed by artillery fire and two malfunctioning ships lying on the beach in Taiwan, the remaining 77 landing craft are nervously carrying supplies into the cabin.
台中空战的米格-15比斯返回澎湖机场。这一场空战，空一师和空二师很明显是胜了，观察到现场坠落的F-86和F-84有20架，战斗损失是8架米格-15比斯和7架伊尔-10，其中1架米格-15比斯、2架伊尔-10还是在围攻台中清泉岗机场时被地面火力击落。我军强击机和战斗机一齐出动，国军的战斗机一度选择优先拦截伊尔-10，因此当米格-15比斯加入空战时，场面就对国军战斗机极其不利。
When Zhang Jihui jumped off her fighter plane, she was still thinking about the unsolved mystery in her heart: did the F-86 that was shot crashed?This is related to whether he has become an ace pilot today.
"Zhang Jihui? Our infiltration team has an observation report!" The regiment staff member came out from the headquarters and saw Zhang Jihui and the wingman pilot packing up and going back to the camp. He came over to tell him the news he had just received, "The F- that was injured by you 86, returned north from the air above Taichung, passed through Miaoli, circled twice at Hsinchu Airport to find the runway—and landed.”
Zhang Jihui: ...
What a great news.
"But it doesn't matter, there is good news. Next, with the cooperation of the information from the ground team, we will attack Hsinchu Airport with a mix of aircraft. If all goes well, there will be no planes released from Hsinchu Airport tomorrow. There are no fighter jets from Chiang Kai-shek in the sky. Our air force just needs to bomb ground targets!"
Zhang Jihui: ...
Yep, another "good" news.
"Staff Wu, the sky is still far from being clean," the wingman pilot interjected first, "Jiang Jun also has two major airports in Taipei and Kaohsiung, and what kind of American aircraft carrier, they will also send planes out to make trouble. Yes. Just wait, we still have a chance to take to the sky, and then we can shoot down a few more planes, and both of our planes can be filled with five red stars!"
