On the day Bai Zhizhan arrived in Puzhou, Zhao Yu said he was going to give him a surprise. Later, it turned out to be the Navy accepting a batch of new ship-borne aircraft.
Not long thereafter, Zhou Yongtao came to Puzhou and mentioned the matter, stating that Li Yunxiang would assign the pilots from the First Shipborne Air Force Wing to Bai Zhizhan, and arrange the best ship-borne aircraft for him.
At that time, Bai Zhizhan was very much looking forward to it.
In fact, even before the bombers and torpedo planes flew to the front, Bai Zhizhan was very eager because Zhao Yu hadn't specified which types of new ship-borne aircraft they were.
Before the outbreak of the war, Bai Zhizhan had already known that the Navy had decided to purchase new ship-borne aircraft to replace the three types of aircraft designed and produced before the war. The related work had always been managed by Zhao Yu, who was pushing for the design and production of the new ship-borne aircraft.
