"So I don't know where the enemy I attacked was from. At that time, I had separated from my wingman and single-handedly attacked the enemy."
Wang Zhong, "Was the enemy preparing to attack a small town with a water tower and a church?"
The pilot spread his hands, "Every small town has a water tower and a church."
...that seemed reasonable!
Suddenly, Wang Zhong remembered that the tactical number of the Il-2 that had been with Peniye was 401, and this lieutenant colonel was from the fourth assault aviation regiment, which meant that its tactical number could start with a 4.
Wang Zhong, "Is your plane's tactical number 401?"
"Yeah. How do you know?"
Wang Zhong burst out laughing, "When you attacked the enemy alone on June 28th, I was down below."
After saying this, Wang Zhong realized it sounded a bit strange and corrected himself, "I mean, I was on the ground."
