Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "Commander, please don't accuse me unjustly. It is the conscience of heaven and earth. The relationship between me and Miss Xiuqin is absolutely voluntary, and there is no violation of discipline."
The commander asked curiously: "Who is Xiuqin?"
Zhang Dabiao interrupted and said: "I know this matter well." After that, he reported to the commander that Li Yunlong was recuperating in Lijiazhuang.
The commander said happily: "Okay, Li Yunlong, you are a lucky man. After being injured, you actually found a wife. Yes, when there is a wedding, the chief of staff and I must go to have a wedding banquet."
"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Commander, you can't just have a wedding banquet. At the very least, you have to be a witness for our leader."
The commander smiled and said: "No problem, I will be the witness."
After the banquet, Li Yunlong, Xu Dalong and others accompanied the commander and chief of staff to the airport for an inspection.
The commander has seen the world. He once studied abroad and is no stranger to airplanes.
The chief of staff had never flown on an airplane before, and wanted to go up there to have a look, so the commander accompanied the chief of staff for a walk around the sky.
After seeing off the commander and chief of staff, Xu Dalong also said goodbye to Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao and returned to the base.
On the way back, Bob had memorized this section of the route, so he flew the bomber to deepen his recognition of the terrain and features of this section of the flight.
Wang Xiaohu has always been worried about one thing, that is, he and Huang Wanqiu have been passionately in love for a long time and have long wanted to get married, but his conditions are not enough, so the matter has to be put aside.
Today, the commander and others talked about Li Yunlong's marriage again, which touched his mind. He wanted to ask Xu Dalong for help to see if he could find a way to get him married to Huang Wanqiu.
He said: "Brother Dalong, what do you think we should do about the matter between me and Miss Wanqiu? Her parents have been urging her, and they have called me several times.
I told them that my current conditions are not enough. They said that some soldiers get married before they join the army. I am also a cadre after all, so why can't I get married? I can't do their job. Please help me think about it.
Find a way."
On the surface, Wang Xiaohu said that he hoped that Xu Dalong would give him some advice to do the work for Huang Wanqiu's parents and that he would not consider marriage for the time being. In fact, Xu Dalong knew about the affairs between Wang Xiaohu and Huang Wanqiu and understood that he wanted to get married.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "This matter is not that complicated. You are now the logistics director of the Mawushan Guerrillas. You are at the battalion level, only half a level away from the deputy regiment level.
It's easy to say, the current scale of the Mawushan Guerrilla Force should have been upgraded long ago. I guess it won't be long before the superiors ask us to upgrade. By then you will be a regiment-level cadre, and won't the marriage be a matter of course?"
"Ah, is it true? Brother Dalong, this is great. I will tell Wanqiu the good news when I go back, and she will be very happy." Wang Xiaohu said excitedly.
Not only Wang Xiaohu but also Lin Xueying was touched. She was a young woman who was looking forward to sweet love in her youth. Seeing Xu Dalong and others talking about marriage, her mood suddenly dimmed. She felt a little sad.
He glanced at Xu Dalong and didn't understand that this guy seemed so smart, but he seemed a little slow in love. He had already given him hints, and the people around him were also adding fuel to the fire, but this guy didn't show any signs. I really don't know.
What was he thinking about.
Although Xu Dalong was talking to Wang Xiaohu, he felt Lin Xueying's gaze.
Xu Dalong is not an idiot, and he also has a desire for love. He has not expressed his stance for a long time because he has his own deep-seated considerations.
Lin Xueying is passionately devoted to Xu Dalong, and Xu Dalong knows it very well. Chu Yun'er also likes Xu Dalong wholeheartedly, and he also understands it very well.
These two girls are top choices regardless of their appearance and character. If he could marry one of them, Xu Dalong would be very satisfied.
However, this is a cruel war era after all. Xu Dalong often has to fight life and death. He cannot guarantee that he will remain unscathed. If he is disabled or dies in battle, it will bring deep pain to his beloved girl.
Not only that, there are still many unresolved issues between Xu Dalong and Lin Xueying, including Chu Yun'er. After all, they are still in a different camp from the underground party. The underground party's Zheng review is extremely strict. If it is not completely resolved,
The identity issues of Lin Xueying or Chu Yun'er will be a big trouble in the future. And with Xu Dalong's current situation, it is not the time to solve these problems yet.
There is another important reason why Xu Dalong did not express his position, that is, the harsh war environment can best test the true emotions between people.
Xu Dalong, Lin Xueying and Chu Yun'er will face countless tests from all aspects in the future. Time will tell whether Xu Dalong can truly come together with any of them. Anyway, everyone is still young, so why not
Just let nature take its course.
On this day, Zheng Xirong sent a telegram, saying that there was a situation at the Houma Airport of the Japanese army. A new batch of planes had transferred to the Houma Airport. Now the number of planes at the airport has reached 1,780, which is very high.
It is possible that the Japanese army will launch another large-scale air raid on the Mawushan guerrilla airport.
After Xu Dalong received the telegram, he immediately held an emergency meeting and decided to immediately launch an air raid on the Japanese army's Houma Airport.
The Mawushan Guerrillas had dozens of fighter planes, posing a huge threat to the Japanese army in Shanxi. Commander Yoshio Shinozuka felt like a stick in his throat when he thought about this. He hoped to destroy the Mawushan Guerrillas as soon as possible.
of these aircraft.
However, he did not have that many troops to attack the guerrilla base areas, so he had to pin his hopes on the Second Air Force. Although the Second Air Force was attached to the First Army, he had no interest in the Second Air Force.
He has the right to appoint personnel, so the Second Air Force does not entirely agree with him.
So he sent a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters, asking them to put pressure on the Second Air Force and urge them to destroy the Mawushan guerrillas' airport and aircraft as soon as possible.
It’s not that the commander of the Second Air Force didn’t want to do this. He had tried hard, but he had lost a large number of aircraft and pilots for no apparent reason. This incident also severely damaged the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Second Air Force. Therefore, here
For a while, he had no intention of conducting air raids again.
The commander of the North China Front Army, Tada Jun, hated Xu Dalong of the Mawushan guerrillas very much. This guy not only caused trouble in Shanxi, but also went to Hebei to cause trouble. Tada Jun was determined to get rid of Xu Dalong.
After receiving the telegram from Yoshio Shinozuka, he issued an order to the Second Air Force to destroy the air force of the Mamushan guerrillas.
The commander of the Second Air Force reported on their last air raid and asked the North China Front to supplement the Second Air Force.
Tada Shun fulfilled his request, personally contacted the Air Force Department of the base camp, and transferred a large number of military aircraft from China, which were supplemented to Baoding Airport of the First Air Force and the Second Air Force respectively.
After the Second Air Force was replenished, the commander decided to launch another air strike against the Mawushan guerrillas in the near future. Although he could not figure out the reason for the failure of the last air strike, he believed that as long as more fighters and bombers were dispatched, multi-channel air strikes would be used.
In this way, even if one of the routes fails at that time, the Mawushan guerrillas' air force and airport can still be destroyed.
He decided to organize 60 military aircraft this time and divide the troops into three groups to carry out air strikes. He did not believe that the air force of the Mawushan guerrillas could not be defeated this time.
The commander once again displayed his outstanding acting skills and gave a wonderful performance at the mobilization meeting.
This time it was not the veterans of the Second Air Force who were deceived by him. After two consecutive air raids failed, the original officers and soldiers of the Second Air Force had become fearful.
The people he deceived were the pilots and crew members newly added to the Second Air Force. They were added along with the batch of aircraft added to the Second Air Force. Many of them came from China and had not participated in the war.
Rookies in battle. They have not really experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, have been deceived by communist propaganda, and are full of longing for achievements.
The commander talked about the glorious tradition of the Second Air Force, the glorious achievements of the Second Air Force, and the glorious deeds of the broken pilots and crew members, and encouraged the new pilots to make great achievements. As a result, he succeeded
They deceived a group of cannon fodder and prepared to launch another suicide attack.
The Second Air Force's combat plan has been formulated, and the pilots and aircrews participating in the air attack have been prepared and are waiting for tomorrow's dawn to launch an air attack on the airport and aircraft of the Mawushan guerrillas.
On this afternoon, all 6 fighter jets and 29 bombers of the Mawushan guerrillas were dispatched and flew to the Taihang Mountain airstrip.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Dalong personally led the team and flew to the direction of Houma.
It was almost late autumn, and it got dark relatively early. At 7:25, the sky had already started to get dark. The Japanese officers and soldiers at the airport suddenly heard the roar of airplanes in the sky.
These Japanese officers and soldiers all knew that only the Mawushan guerrillas in Shanxi had a large number of aircraft. They immediately realized the danger, and the sirens at the airport rang loudly.
There were four Japanese fighter jets on duty at the airport. After hearing the siren, they urgently started the plane and prepared to take off. However, their actions were still a step slow.
Just when the Japanese troops at the airport were panicking, a large number of bombers were already flying over the airport.
Xu Dalong took the lead in driving the bomber, directly passing through the entire airport. All the wooden gasoline barrels used on his plane were used. The bombardiers dropped the gasoline barrels in turn. These barrels were spaced at a certain distance and fell on the ground.
At the airport, a huge fire broke out.
These fires marked the scope of the Japanese airport for other bombers and illuminated the targets on the airport, providing convenience for other bombers to drop bombs accurately.
In order to carry out precise bombing, the bombers of the Mawushan guerrillas all flew at low altitude, less than 300 meters above the ground. A large number of aerial bombs and gasoline barrels fell on the airport. There were continuous explosions on the airport, and burning
A huge fire broke out.
The fire on the airport grew bigger and bigger, exposing the targets above the airport even more. The guerrilla bombers circled over the airport, constantly destroying the targets they could see one by one.
Two Japanese fighter jets on duty at the airport were blown up at that time. The other two fighter jets on duty taxied at high speed and then shot into the sky.
Bob and the fighter pilots drove six fighter jets and were already waiting. As soon as the two Japanese fighter jets took off, they were besieged by Bob and others and were quickly shot down.
After dropping bombs and gasoline barrels, the bombers still refused to give up. They used the machine guns on the bombers to shoot at the intact Japanese aircraft on the ground. After all the machine gun bullets were used up, they flew away under the escort of fighter jets.
go.
The raging fire finally ignited the fuel depot and ammunition depot on the airport, and the Second Air Force's Houma airport was finally completely destroyed.
After receiving the report, the commander of the Second Air Force slumped down on the sofa like a mangy dog with cramps.
After eliminating the threat of the Japanese air force, the Mawushan guerrilla air force was out of control and launched successive air attacks on the Japanese army in Taiyuan and the Japanese army in the direction of Yangquan, causing huge losses to the Japanese army.
Unfortunately, these air raids were too expensive, and the fuel and aerial bombs required were all in vain. After several consecutive air raids, the Mawushan guerrillas could no longer bear it and had to stop.
After this stage of air strikes, Zhao Gang had no money again.
He said with a sad face: "Captain, you should hurry up and get money, otherwise, these planes will become just decorations."
Xu Dalong is also thinking about this matter. He also knows that continuing like this is not an option. The financial resources of the Mawushan guerrillas alone cannot support large-scale operations, and even small-scale operations cannot be sustained.
He pondered for a long time and came up with a way, which was to use these planes to make money.
Since the Mawushan Guerrillas had a powerful air force, the morale of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi has been greatly boosted. They are eager to launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops. Of course, they hope to receive support from the Mawushan Guerrilla Air Force.
On this day, the liaison team leader of the Jinsui Army came to Xu Dalong and said that the 68th Army of the Jinsui Army was preparing to launch an attack on the Japanese army and hoped that the guerrillas could dispatch the air force to cooperate with them.
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang have already discussed it. If they encounter this kind of thing again, they will play a double act, with Xu Dalong playing the red face and Zhao Gang playing the white face. In short, they want to make a lot of money from this aspect.
After listening to the request from the Jinsui Army liaison team leader, Xu Dalong patted his chest and said: "No problem, the friendly forces' affairs are the Mawushan guerrillas' affairs. I must help you with this favor."
Zhao Gang immediately became unwilling. He said: "I am also willing to help, but dispatching the air force requires a large amount of gasoline and aerial bombs, and those pilots are given a large amount of subsidies. Now our guerrillas are so poor that we can't even get
Without the money, we can only do nothing to help in this battle."
Xu Dalong said: "Commissioner Zheng, this is not good. It is our duty to help friendly forces fight. Look at how much wealth we still have. If we can help, we must help."
Zhao Gang said: "Didn't I say it? It's not that I don't want to help, it's really hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. The last time the pilots launched an air strike, the bonuses promised to them are still owed. If this continues, who will be willing to do so?
Go fight. Those Americans are no better than our soldiers, they are just mercenaries. If you don’t pay them, who will work for you?”
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang sang together, and the liaison team leader of the Jinsui Army finally understood that there was no problem in sending out the guerrilla air force, but the money must be sufficient. After they returned to the liaison team, they gave
The World War II District Governor's Department sent a telegram.
The 68th Army of the Jinsui Army wanted to fight a good battle, but they were very afraid of the Japanese army's combat effectiveness. This time they were counting on the support of the Mawushan Guerrilla Air Force.
They also knew that fighting for the Air Force was indeed very expensive, so they asked their superiors for instructions and decided to agree to the request of the Mawushan guerrillas, and all the expenses would be borne by them.
Zhao Gang had already prepared a list of expenses, including the quantity and price of fuel, aerial bombs, wooden gasoline barrels, and machine gun bullets needed for combat, and added 20% of the profit on this basis.
After all, Zhao Gang is a decent person and an honest person. This is the first time he has done such a thing. His heart is not dark enough. Although he only added 20%, he still feels uneasy in his heart.
He handed the list of supplies to Xu Dalong and said with some embarrassment: "Captain, I added 20% profit to it. Do you think this will work? If not, we will only add 10%."
After Xu Dalong read it, he picked up the pen, corrected it, and gave it to Zhao Gang again.
Zhao Gang saw that Xu Dalong had doubled the required fee, and he said: "Captain, I'm afraid this is not good."
Xu Dalong said: "It's not expensive. Pilots risk their lives to fight, shouldn't they get a bonus? And we have dispatched these planes. If they are shot down by the Japanese, how much will we lose? You have all these
Have you considered it? To be honest, if it wasn’t for fighting the Japanese, I wouldn’t do it even if it was triple the price, let alone double the price.”
Although Zhao Gang thought what Xu Dalong said was reasonable, he was still a little uneasy and worried that the Jinsui Army would not agree. So he handed the list of supplies to the liaison team leader of the Jinsui Army with anxiety.
Soon after, the working team leader told Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang that the Jinsui Army had agreed and not only fully satisfied the quotation provided by the guerrillas, but also gave an additional 20,000 yuan to express their gratitude.
It turns out that Zhao Gang really didn't understand the situation of the Guo Army and the Jinsui Army. They were different from the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces.
