In the dead of night, Song Guoning was on duty at the airport.
As the squadron leader of the flying squadron directly under the Dameishan Military Region, Song Guoning can be considered a mid-level cadre. However, in fact, his flying squadron still only has 15 people and only has two aircraft, one Type 95 fighter jet. , a Type 96 land long-range bomber.
And two planes have been grounded due to lack of fuel.
The good news is that it is said that the Comintern will provide a batch of aviation kerosene to the Communist Party of China through the Northwest Highway, and the Party Central Committee in Yan'an has decided to provide this batch of aviation kerosene to Dameishan. However, since the route from Yan'an to Dameishan passes through the Kuomintang-controlled area, this The matter still requires the cooperation of the Kuomintang, and the two sides are currently negotiating.
In fact, this was the benefit that the Soviet Union promised to the CCP.
At the beginning, when Stalin learned that the Songhu Independent Regiment had actually regained Shanghai, he immediately realized that the resistance war in Shanghai could greatly contain the Japanese army, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Soviet Red Army in the Far East battlefield, so through the Communist Party International, demanding that the Songhu Independence Regiment continue to persist in the war of resistance in Shanghai.
To this end, the Soviet Union also promised a series of benefits to the CCP.
This batch of aviation kerosene is one of the materials.
This was actually a small trick played by Stalin, because he knew that the Chinese Communist Party had no air force and no aircraft, so it was of no use to provide the Chinese Communist Party with aviation kerosene. But with the Kuomintang, he had something to say. He could tell the Kuomintang that the Soviet Union did not It did not break its original promise and did not provide the CCP with any strategic materials that could threaten the Kuomintang.
However, Stalin had no idea that the Chinese Communist Party actually had an air force, located in Damei Mountain!
To get back to the topic, Song Guoning was on duty in the airport duty room. Suddenly, the roar of an airplane engine sounded outside the window. When he heard the sound of the airplane engine, his first reaction was that it was a Japanese plane, but the next moment, he immediately overturned this speculation. , because since the beginning of the war, the Japs have never launched an air raid at night.
I don’t know if there are any other battlefields, at least there has never been an air raid on Damei Mountain at night!
Ever since, Song Guoning's hand had already touched the alarm, but he put it down again.
This requires taking a huge risk. If the Japanese air force comes to launch an air raid, and he fails to sound the alarm in time, causing heavy losses to the base area, he will have to bear the responsibility. However, Song Guoning still decisively gave up the alarm. , because there was a vague expectation in his heart.
It is precisely because of this expectation that he is willing to take risks rather than sound the alarm.
Because as soon as the alarm is sounded, the air defense weapons at the airport and the entire Dameishan base area will be fully fired, and it will be a fool's errand, but anything can happen. If the one who comes over is not a kid but a commander, that will be terrible! Of course, then again, anti-aircraft fire may not be able to hurt the commander, he is an ace pilot!
But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected, so Song Guoning decisively gave up sounding the airport alarm.
Song Guoning rushed out of the duty room as quickly as possible and came to the airport runway. When he looked up again, he saw an airplane passing quickly over the airport with night lights flashing. Seeing this, Song Guoning became even more excited. It must be the commander who returned to Dameishan in the plane he snatched from the Japanese.
Why, you ask? Because the plane's heading was highly consistent with the airport's runway. Who could have done this unless they were very familiar with Dameishan Airport and had excellent night driving skills? Therefore, Song Guoning decisively ordered the airport security personnel to turn on the navigation lights on both sides of the runway.
Half a year has passed and Dameishan Airport has also changed.
After being powered on, there is no need to ignite the ignition for night navigation and the lights can be turned on directly.
Under the instructions of the navigation light, the Type 96 carrier-based fighter piloted by Xu Rui landed smoothly.
Before the fighter jet stopped, Song Guoning and several pilots who were also startled gathered around him. When they saw Xu Rui jumping off the wing, the pilots immediately became happy.
"Commander, I knew it was you!" Song Guoning was overjoyed.
Xu Rui had become the regiment leader, but Song Guoning still called him commander when he was in Dameishan.
Several pilots behind him also gathered around, calling to the commander while sizing up the fighter jet. The Type 96 carrier-based fighter Xu Rui robbed this time was comparable to the Type 95 carrier-based fighter he had snatched from Feicheng Airport before. It's much newer, you can tell from the canvas on the wings.
Xu Rui didn't want to say much and asked Song Guoning directly: "Xiao Song, is there a phone installed at the airport?"
"I've already pretended." Song Guoning said without hesitation, "Commander, if you want to call, I will take you there."
At that moment, Song Guoning led Xu Rui to the duty room, picked up the phone, and stopped there because he didn't know where Xu Rui wanted to call.
Xu Rui grabbed the phone receiver and said, "Talk to the military headquarters!"
After a while, the call was connected, and a majestic voice came from the other side: "Where are you?"
"Chief, I'm Xu Rui! I'm at Dameishan Airport right now." Xu Rui explained briefly, and then got straight to the point, "Where is Gou Yue's Xiaoluyuan Special Operations Brigade now?"
The head of the military department on the opposite side was obviously stunned when he heard this, and shouted out loud: "Xu Rui? Are you at Dameishan Airport?"
The next moment, the military chief finally came to his senses and immediately became angry: "Xu Rui, who agreed to your return? Didn't I tell you to let you stay in Shanghai? You dare to disobey orders, it's too much, you give me Just wait patiently at the airport, I'll be here right away, you're not allowed to go anywhere, you're not allowed to go anywhere, do you hear me? Wait!"
Xu Rui knew that the chief was not really angry, but just afraid that he would be impulsive.
But it’s impossible for Xu Rui not to be impulsive. His wife and children have been robbed. If he’s not impulsive, is he still a human being? It is said that if you don’t sweep one house, why sweep the world? In the same way, if you can’t protect your wife and children, can you still be considered a man? Why talk about fighting for the country and the nation? So Xu Rui couldn't calm down at this moment.
At that moment, Xu Rui said stiffly: "Chief, let me ask again, where is Gou Yue's Xiaoluyuan Brigade?"
From Xu Rui's cold tone, the No. 2 leader on the other side could hear suppressed anger and boundless murderous intent.
After pondering for a while, the No. 2 leader still said: "Half an hour ago, the military security company just sent a telegram back, saying that the Xiaoluyuan Brigade has passed Feidong Town!"
"I understand, thank you, chief." After saying that, Xu Rui hung up the phone.
On the surface, Xu Rui's expression did not change at all, but his heart was already surging.
Gou Yue's Xiaoluyuan moved so fast. In less than a day, he not only successfully penetrated the siege of the Dameishan Military Region, but also ran to Feidong Town! Fortunately, he hijacked the plane and flew back this time. Otherwise, by the time he led the Langya Brigade to arrive two days later, Xiaoluyuan Junsi would have already hijacked Sai Hongfu and Hong Guoer and returned to Nanjing!
But now, it is impossible for him to give Oluhara Junsi this chance again.
At that moment, Xu Rui turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he found Song Guoning still stunned in the duty room, so he turned around and said, "Xiao Song, come with me, and you will drive!"
Five minutes later, the Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet roared into the sky again after being filled with fuel.
Although the fuel reserves at Dameishan Airport are extremely scarce, they are not empty at all.
Half an hour later, when the No. 2 leader rushed to the airport, the Type 96 carrier-based fighter piloted by Song Guoning had already disappeared into the night sky. Only a dozen pilots and guards were left standing on the runway in a daze. When the No. 2 leader saw this, he stamped his feet angrily. This Xu Rui, he really dared to go anywhere!
(Dividing line)
Feixi Town, where the Japanese are stationed.
Since the second raid on the Dameishan base area failed, the vast and flat land in central Anhui has become a guerrilla zone that the Chinese and Japanese armies have repeatedly competed for. Neither the Japanese nor the New Fourth Army have the absolute strength to occupy the land in central Anhui for a long time. However, Recently, Wanzhong has been under the control of the Sixth Division.
After receiving the order from Higashikata Higashihiko, the division commander of the Sixth Division, Naosaburo Okabe, did not dare to neglect and led his troops from Chaohu to Feixi. At this time, he had successfully rendezvoused with Shunsi Oluhara.
Okabe Naosaburo said in a deep voice: "Okahara-kun, let us leave the rest of the matter to our Sixth Division, right?"
Ogawara Junsi shook his head and asked Okabe Naosaburo: "I would like to take the liberty of asking, General, how do you plan to escort these two extremely important hostages?"
Naosaburo Okabe said in a deep voice: "Of course it will be escorted by heavy troops!"
"In this case, it's bad." Xiaoluyuan Junsi said, "With heavy escort, the target is big, and from Feixi Town to Chaohu, you need to pass through the New Fourth Army-controlled area. If the New Fourth Army gets the news first, they will intercept it at all costs. By then the hostages will most likely be trapped in Feixi."
Naosaburo Okabe said in a deep voice: "But the New Fourth Army in Anhui Province has limited troops, and they cannot hold off the imperial army for too long."
"It won't take long." Oluhara Junsi shook his head and said, "Just delay us for two days, and Langya will arrive. Once Langya arrives, anything can happen."
"Spike Brigade?" Naosaburo Okabe heard this with awe.
Although he was reluctant, Naosaburo Okabe had to admit that the threat of Wolf Fang was indeed great. Although he brought an infantry regiment with him this time when he went north, he did not dare to say that even with an infantry regiment, We must be able to defeat Langya and bring these two important hostages safely back to Chaohu or even Wuhu.
At that moment Naosaburo Okabe asked: "So, Okahara-kun, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty General, this is what I mean by my humble position." Xiaolu Yuannan said in a deep voice, "You still led the Thirteenth Infantry Regiment south along the Feibeng Highway, and deliberately spread the word that the hostages were in your hands, but in fact , but the hostages were still handed over to our special operations brigade, who secretly took a shortcut across the Dabie Mountains!"
