Chen Zhongping stood up and rushed out of the temporary resting tent. When he looked up, he saw two planes returning to the north. Chen Zhongping estimated that the planes were flying very high, at least 1,200 to 1,300 feet (about 4,000 meters), and he could not catch up even if he tried his best.
Watching the plane fly away quickly, Chen Zhongping's face darkened as he thought of the relevant information he had obtained from the interrogation. "All soldiers, listen to my order. Dig three feet into the ground and hide where you are!"

Xiandai River and Cuiyan Lake, this once beautiful and gentle land, is now silent.
The war had not spread to here, but the nearest defense line was only about ten miles away; the roar, fighting, and shouting in the distance could be heard clearly at night. But starting yesterday, this place was requisitioned and became the place for negotiations between Anyang, Nanyang, and Dongyuan County.
Anyang County, Yan Zhengqing attended the negotiations as the plenipotentiary representative.
Yuan Yong came forward to negotiate in Dongyuan County, and Kong Donglai naturally came forward to negotiate in Nanyang County.
The three parties negotiated overnight and finally reached an agreement:
First, the three parties put aside all past hatreds and temporarily "became brothers" to jointly fight against (invasion of) the State of Jin.
Second, the border between Anyang and Dongyuan County was divided by the Xiandai River. The south of the Xiandai River belonged to Dongyuan County, and the north belonged to Anyang. From then on, Luliang County disappeared and became part of Anyang.
Third, the Dongyuan and Nanyang County prisoners captured by Anyang, including Yuan Zhong, could be released, but these soldiers had to swear to never attack Anyang again. Kong Donglai and Yuan Yong could only accept this.
However, when Yuan Yong heard that Yuan Zhong was going to be released, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Fourth, Anyang handed over one set of rifle, 47mm artillery and 57mm artillery drawings to Nanyang County and Dongyuan County, and delivered one set of matching machine tools (obsolete).
Fifth, Nanyang County and Dongyuan County friendly compensated Anyang for its military expenses - in fact, it was reparations, just a nicer way of saying it.
During this period, Yan Zhengqing didn't want to hand over the production methods of bullets and shells; but Kong Donglai and Yuan Yong were not stupid. After Yan Zhengqing asked Li Xian for instructions, he handed over a set of production drawings for bullets. But he still didn't give the production drawings for shells. But in fact, if you know how to make bullets, you can also "understand the principles of shells".
Sixth, when the three parties attacked Jin, the land and population belonged to Dongyuan County and Nanyang County; all the wealth, information, books, etc. belonged to Anyang County.
Seventh, Anyang lost a lot of war, so Dongyuan County and Nanyang County must behave well; otherwise, Anyang will never sell arms to the two counties, and may even attack them. (This is to encourage the two counties to invade Jin, rob Jin, and take advantage of the land.)
Finally, the three parties agreed to organize an army of 500,000 soldiers to march south within three days. Anyang would send 100,000 soldiers, Dongyuan County and Nanyang County would send 200,000 soldiers each. In addition, Dongyuan County and Nanyang County would also send 500,000 civilians.
The ironclad ships of Anyang continued to harass the eastern coastal areas of Jin, and the aircraft of Anyang provided air support.
The three parties reached an agreement, stamped the agreement, swore an oath, and agreed to renew the alliance once every three years (it would probably be invalidated after three years).
But sometimes things are just so coincidental. The pilot who just completed the alliance here and scouted the Jin army came back, "General, as expected, we found the Jin army in the south. It's huge and stretches for fifty or sixty miles. It's estimated that there are five or six hundred thousand soldiers."
