Gao Hongming and Xie Wenqian turned around and saw that two female pilots who looked very similar and were wearing blue-gray flight jackets were looking at them uneasily. They were the two sisters Bian Daling and Bian Xiaoling. Not only that, but there were also people behind them.
There were two girls standing, and Gao Hongming probably was the observer of the two sisters.
At her fingertips, Xiaoling took a step forward and said urgently: "Team leader, my sister and I took the initiative to ask Captain Xie to transport the pilots back to Liantai County. Captain Xie didn't agree with it at first, but she couldn't get rid of my sister and me.
I reluctantly agreed, so please don’t blame Captain Xie."
"Yes, sir, this matter was brought up by us sisters on our own initiative. It has nothing to do with Captain Xie. If you want to punish us, just punish us. Don't blame Captain Xie by mistake." Bian Daling also said at the side.
Follow your sister to plead for mercy.
After the two sisters finished speaking, they secretly glanced at Gao Hongming very anxiously.
It is originally quiet at night, and any sound of wind and grass will be amplified at this time.
In addition, Gao Hongming and Xie Wenqian did not lower their voices when talking, so they naturally woke up Sister Bian Daling and two deputies who were sleeping soundly.
At the beginning, several girls were a little embarrassed because they overheard the whispers of the couple in their group. But later when they heard Gao Hongming blaming Xie Wenqian for transporting the wounded, the Bian sisters couldn't sit still and hurriedly stood up.
Come out and plead for Xie Wenqian.
Gao Hongming didn't speak, he just looked at the two sisters silently with his eyes. Although he didn't speak, his calm and confident temperament still made the girls breathless.
After a while, Gao Hongming said softly: "It is certainly a good thing to transport the wounded back to Liantai County, but you must understand that the Japanese Army's Third Flying Group is increasing its strength on the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield.
Moreover, you are only flying light reconnaissance aircraft, and you have no ability to fight back when facing Japanese fighter planes. Once you encounter the Japanese army while transporting the wounded or on the way back, your lives will be in danger at any time.
I asked Huang Huaimin to transfer you from the Central Air Force because I hope you can contribute to China's cause of the Anti-Japanese War. I also hope that you can protect yourselves. I also hope that everyone will live to see the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won.
I also hope that you can marry into a good family and live a good life as heroines of the Anti-Japanese War in the future, instead of letting the officers in the logistics department hand over the condolence letter and the cold 100 yuan to your relatives. Do you understand?
?”
Although Gao Hongming's words were spoken very solemnly, anyone could hear the deep concern in his words.
The eyes of Sister Bian Daling and the two girls behind them immediately turned red when they heard this, and Bian Daling said in a choked voice: "Master, we understand your kindness.
But I remember that on the first day my sister and I entered the Aviation Academy, our instructor asked us to recite our school motto: Our bodies, planes and bombs will be destroyed together as the enemy's warship position!
Although we girls only studied in the military school for two years and had to drop out in the end, we never dared or forgot this school motto from beginning to end.
I still remember what Senior Shen Chongjie’s poem said: I have never returned from battles, and my temples are stained with blood.
In fact, not only him, but other seniors such as Captain Gao Zhihang, Yao Mingda, Wei Jiesan, and Zhang Jiazhou also did the same.
They can sacrifice their lives for the country, can't we?
Let’s not mention anything else, let’s just talk about you. We all know that just over a year ago, when our militia raided Cangyun Ridge, you personally carried a rifle with a bayonet and fought with your brothers to fight against the Japs.
Bayonet?
So, Sir Gao, please stop giving us preferential treatment just because we are women, okay?"
Listening to Bian Daling's sincere words and sincere expression, Gao Hongming took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I won't pursue this matter, but if you continue to transport seriously injured people to Liantai County in the future, you must report it to me.
, so that I can send fighter planes to escort you.
If you dare to make your own decisions, I will deprive you of the right to board the plane, and you can go back wherever you came from, do you understand?"
After saying that, Gao Hongming took Xie Wenqian and left here.
He walked quickly because he was afraid that if he stayed too long, Bian Daling and others would see his red eyes.
Bian Daling and others did not know about Gao Hongming's changes, but Xie Wenqian, who was his pillow, knew everything about it.
After the two of them walked for a while, Xie Wenqian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly whispered: "Hong Ming, I'm sorry."
"Um...what?" Gao Hongming didn't react for a while.
"I was too willful. I thought it was just to transport the seriously injured, but I didn't take into account the physical condition and endurance of the Bian sisters. As you said, if anything happens to them, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"No...you are right."
Gao Hongming stroked her hair and held her whole body in his arms.
While sniffing the familiar fragrance on Xie Wenqian's body, he sighed softly: "There are so many things going on in the army these days. I didn't notice for a while that with the increase in the number of wounded, the pressure on the medical team is also increasing. As a
The person in charge of the medical team was naturally very anxious, so it was not surprising that he made such a decision.
But the only thing you did wrong was that you didn't discuss it with me. After all, Bian Daling and the others were only flying small reconnaissance planes, and they could only transport two wounded people even if they died at one time.
In this way, tomorrow I will ask the engineering battalion to urgently build a temporary runway here. After the runway is repaired, I will ask the flight brigade to send all the C-47s of the transport squadron, and then transport the seriously injured people back to Liantai County. This is no better than you
Is it too much to transport a few people at once like a mouse moving?"
Gao Hongming's words made Xie Wenqian flush with embarrassment. Naturally, she realized how ridiculous her move of asking Bian Daling and her sisters to use reconnaissance planes to transport the wounded seemed to Gao Hongming. Not to mention the hard work and dangers, the effect was also very poor.
Looking at my husband, he simply built a temporary airport and dispatched a C-47 squadron to transport hundreds of wounded people at a time. This efficiency was much higher than his own.
It's ridiculous that I was still complacent about using a reconnaissance plane to transport the wounded back to Liantai County, but I didn't know how ridiculous and childish such a move was in the eyes of others.
The two of them walked for a while, and the sky began to spit out wisps of glow, and the darkness began to recede at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gao Hongming stopped and said, "Okay Wen Qian, it's daybreak and it's time for me to go back to the regiment headquarters. Today we have to fight with the little devil again. You have to take care of yourself here."
"I see."
Xie Wenqian responded softly and stepped forward to straighten Gao Hongming's collar, "You have to be careful yourself and think twice before you act. Don't be as reckless as before."
"okay, I get it."
At this time, a Willys drove up to him slowly from behind.
Gao Hongming waved to Xie Wenqian, jumped into the jeep, and then drove away...
