June 18, 1941.
The sun was high in the sky, and the hot air carried a hint of dryness. The whole earth felt as if it had been boiled in a pot, making it hard to breathe.
Countless birds flew in the sky, chirping and chattering, seemingly enjoying the lively atmosphere.
Meanwhile, at the Namguh Airport in Dien Bien Phu, a large crowd had gathered, all with serious expressions, as if they were welcoming some important guests.
“Dong…dong…dong…” Suddenly, three deep, steady chimes rang out from afar.
Then several trucks came from the end of the road.
In the lead military truck sat a young man dressed in a sharp suit and military boots, wearing sunglasses.
It was Lin Feng, Commander-in-Chief of the China Democratic League Army.
He came to Nankou Airport today at the invitation of the Air Force.
"Long live the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Long live the National League Army!"
...
As the truck stopped, all the soldiers raised their guns and charged forward, shouting in unison.
Lin Feng then took off his sunglasses and looked around.
Then he saw a series of familiar faces.
"Shixiong, has it started?" Lin Feng asked.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, how could I dare to conduct the exercise ahead of schedule without your arrival?" Zhu Shixiong said with a smile.
"Haha, you're quite cautious, not bad, not bad."
"Hehe, after following you for so long, how could I not learn something?" Zhu Shixiong flattered.
In fact, among the members of the Democratic League army, the most adept at flattery should be Zhu Shixiong. From Wu'an Township all the way to Vietnam, and even now, whenever Lin Feng makes a decision, Zhu Shixiong is always the first to jump out and support him without hesitation.
Moreover, this guy is particularly good at reading people's expressions. Every time Lin Feng asks him to do something, he does it without hesitation, more enthusiastic than anyone else. He's even closer to Lin Feng than his own parents, which is why Lin Feng values this kid so much.
"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded with a smile, then continued to look around. He saw that tables and chairs, tea, fruits, and cigarettes had already been set out.
These were all prepared specifically for him.
He didn't refuse and sat down directly.
"Let's begin then."
"yes!"
Zhu Shixiong and a group of senior air force generals immediately took action.
Immediately afterwards, the loudspeaker blared: "Attention all Air Force units! Attention all Air Force units! This exercise is about to begin! It is expected to last three hours. Please all units quickly register and check your equipment..."
A loud "boom" was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dazzling fireball suddenly explode in the northern sky.
"The acting officially begins—!"
The announcer's voice instantly transformed into a passionate and upbeat song.
Immediately afterwards, various types of fighter jets slowly drove out of the hangar.
Leading the line were five C.690M trainer aircraft.
The pilots were all Vietnamese.
There is an unwritten rule among the high command of the National League Army that, apart from the Guards Division, almost all the Chinese in other units are officers, because Lin Feng values their lives.
It's really too precious.
"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."
With a deafening roar of engines, five trainer aircraft shot onto the runway like arrows.
They sped along the track like shooting stars streaking across the sky.
As a powerful surge of acceleration swept over them, the pilots were instantly invigorated, gripping the control sticks tightly and flooring the accelerator.
"Swish swish... swish swish..."
A perfect launch.
Five C.690M trainer jets formed a five-pointed star pattern in the sky, advancing forward in a fan shape; their posture was extremely cool.
"Hmm, not bad, definitely worthy of praise."
Lin Feng ate an apple and drank coffee, looking very relaxed.
However, just as he put the cup down, one of the five C.690M trainer aircraft began to shake violently in the air for some unknown reason.
This completely threw the entire flight formation into chaos.
"What happened?"
The group of air force generals standing nearby all frowned.
The next second, the C.690M trainer jet crashed headfirst into the ground.
With a loud bang...
The ground immediately began to tremble.
The pilot was killed instantly, and the wreckage of the plane littered the ground.
"What's going on? Why is this happening?" Lin Feng roared angrily.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
Zhu Shixiong said tremblingly, "These pilots are all novice pilots with short flight time and some lack training, so... so..."
Lin Feng glared at him through gritted teeth, "That's not what I meant!"
"Which one is that???"
Zhu Shixiong was taken aback.
"Why can't these people parachute?!"
These words startled everyone present.
Subsequently, a Vietnamese air force general immediately explained: "Commander-in-Chief, our soldiers cherish their aircraft. Even at the cost of their lives, they are unwilling to abandon their vehicles, because it is their honor."
"Hmph, what a foolish idea. If you can't even save your own life, what honor are you talking about?" Lin Feng sneered.
"This... Commander-in-Chief, we finally have an air force, and airplanes are more precious than our lives."
Lin Feng glared at him fiercely, then called Zhu Shixiong over and unleashed a torrent of abuse: "Zhu Shixiong! I scolded Zhang Xiaowu for this last time! I'm telling you again today!"
