"Brother Chu, you must help me this time. I don't want more, just give me thirty pilots! Our group has agreed that the price is negotiable!"
At Chongqing Jiangbei Airport, Huang Huaimin was chasing his old comrade-in-arms Chu Yuan, as if he would not leave until he promised.
"Brother Huaimin, it's not that I don't promise you, but it's just that there is really no more." Chu Yuan stopped and looked at this old comrade who was clinging to him like candy and said helplessly: "Our four brigades have a total of hundreds.
Mr. No., you already picked so many people last time, I really don’t have that many people left for you. Let’s put it this way, I still have six pilots here who have just graduated from aviation school. They are all good guys. You
Do you want it? But I have to agree that the price will still be the same, and you don’t want to lose a penny."
"Just graduated from aviation school?"
Huang Huaimin's eyes widened: "What do I want to do here? Do you know how fierce the fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain is now? What I want is that after I go, I can immediately fly to the sky to fight with the little devils. Those who have just returned from aviation
What do I want to do when I graduate from school, deliver food to the little devils?"
Chu Yuan's eyes widened: "Huang Huaimin, what's the matter with you? Who is not a rookie? Don't forget what you looked like when you first got on the plane. If Captain Gao hadn't kicked you when you got off the plane,
If I kicked you, I would probably vomit in the cabin. Speaking of which, those rookies are much better than before. At least they didn't vomit on the plane."
"Hey... I said, Lao Chu, don't you know, don't slap someone in the face?" Huang Huaimin's face immediately turned red when Chu Yuan pulled out the embarrassing incident from the past.
The two argued for a while. Seeing that Chu Yuan disagreed, Huang Huaimin could only resort to his big move, "Okay... Since you, Old Chu, don't agree, then I can only go to Commander Zhou. However, the command has issued an order."
Come down, Lao Chu, don’t blame me for ignoring our old brotherly love.”
"Wait...what do you want to do?" Chu Yuan quickly grabbed Huang Huaimin.
"What are you doing?" Huang Huaimin sneered: "I'm going to the headquarters to spread money. My family is so poor that we only have money left. I don't believe it. I can spend tens of thousands of dollars and still not get a few transfer orders?"
"How dare you!" Chu Yuan was furious.
Having been a soldier for so many years, he knew very well what the Chinese army was like.
As long as the money is in place, let alone issuing a few transfer orders, those who are greedy for money can sell their own wives.
"Who told you not to give me face?"
Huang Huaimin was also annoyed, pointed to the north and shouted: "I tell you the truth, my flying squadron fights the Japanese every day in Zhongtiao Mountain, and brothers die almost every day. In less than three days, I have defeated two squadrons.
If there are no more pilots, Zhongtiao Mountain will become the world of the Japs, and tens of thousands of ground troops will be exposed to the Japs’ aerial bombs. Do you understand?”
Looking at Huang Huaimin whose eyes were almost red, Chu Yuan fell silent.
Although he is far away in Chongqing, the battle in Zhongtiao Mountain has been gradually reaching his ears these days. Of course he knows how fierce the fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain is now. Some newspapers even bluntly said that there is a Luodian meat grinder.
It is devouring the lives of countless elite soldiers from China and Japan.
In this case, air supremacy becomes particularly important. It can even be said that whoever masters air supremacy can take the initiative on the battlefield.
"All right."
Chu Yuan finally relented, and he held out a finger: "I can only give you one squadron pilot. This is my maximum authority, and it can only be seconded. After the war is over, you have to send the pilots
Come back, can you do it?"
"no problem!"
Huang Huaimin was overjoyed and hugged Chu Yuan, "That's great, brother, you have helped me a lot this time. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers on the front line!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards the pilot dormitory not far away...
Not to mention, after all this trouble, Huang Huaimin poached more than 20 pilots from other brigades of the national army and quickly filled them into the Liantai Flying Brigade.
It stands to reason that Huang Huaimin's blatant poaching behavior, whether the senior officials of the National Army and Air Force were blind, naturally saw it clearly. However, the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was related to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and they also had enough money to manage tens of thousands of dollars.
After that, even those who had opinions turned a blind eye...
In the evening of May 25, the Japanese Army’s 33rd Division headquarters was located more than 20 kilometers west of Yangping Town.
Captain Yagi Shigeru, captain of the 215th Regiment of the 33rd Division, bowed and said impassionedly to the division commander, Lieutenant General Amakasu Jutaro: "Your Excellency, division commander, now the battle of Zhongyuan Mountain has reached its most critical moment. Opposite us is the Liantai Militia of China.
, their commander Gao Hongming is less than thirty kilometers away from us. As long as Yangping Town can be captured, the entire Zhongtiao Mountain battle will suddenly become clearer.
Here, I humbly request your Excellency, the Division Commander, to authorize me to lead all members of my regiment to launch a night attack, use the cover of night to capture the China position, and then capture the town of Yangping in one fell swoop!"
Regarding Yagi Shigeru's request, Amakasu Jutaro asked noncommittally, "Yagi-kun, how many people are left in your 215th Regiment as of now?"
Yagi Shigeru hesitated before answering: "Well... our regiment still has more than 2,300 soldiers who can still fight."
Amakasu Jutaro knew that the people Yagi Shigeru mentioned already included the lightly wounded who could still fight.
"More than 2,300 people? In other words, your unit has lost more than 1,500 people in the past few days?"
"Yes!"
"Your alliance has been attacking for five consecutive days and has reduced its strength by more than 1,500 people. Now do you think you can win the China position with the remaining 2,000 people?" Jutaro Amakasu's tone became stern.
"How will you know if you don't give it a try? Isn't war just a process of constant trying?" Yagi Shigeru looked a little ferocious. The unsatisfactory war in the past few days had made him extremely depressed. Even in front of the division commander, he couldn't restrain his feelings.
of anger.
"Baga...how did you talk to the division commander?" the chief of staff, Colonel Akino Gaga, scolded him angrily upon seeing this.
"Okay Akino-kun, Captain Yagi is also for His Majesty the Emperor's great cause. After all, his starting point is good, and we shouldn't blame him too much." Jutaro Amakasu didn't get angry. He pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Since
If you doubt that you want to try a night attack, then go ahead and I will ask the artillery regiment to provide you with certain artillery support."
Hearing this, Yagi Shigeru's face twitched. The artillery regiment of the 33rd Division had already been bombed by the Rendai Flying Group's aircraft on the march. Now there are only three 75-caliber millimeter mountain guns left. I'm afraid this little support is
