Bob and the others are looking forward to seeing the happy expressions on their family members' faces when they send a large bonus back to their hometown this time.
At the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters, Zhang Wanhe had already heard the news and rushed over. He planned to fly to the Mawushan base area with the commander and chief of staff. He wanted to go to the scene to supervise and see how much oil and water could be harvested.
After hearing the reports from Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, the commander and chief of staff were equally excited. They didn't even bother to eat breakfast and hurried to the airstrip. They wanted to go to the Mawushan base area as soon as possible to share the joy of victory.
The Mawushan Military Division acquired so many aircraft at once. This was a big piece of meat, and everyone wanted a piece of it.
The superiors sent a telegram to the Taiyue Military Region, asking them to hand over as many aircraft as possible to northern Shaanxi, and also asked them to provide corresponding logistical support.
The commander must carry out the instructions from his superiors. However, he understood the difficulties of the Mawushan guerrillas and only agreed to hand over some aircraft to his superiors and be responsible for transporting them to northern Shaanxi. However, other matters related to logistics support and pilot training were
, requiring Shaanbei to resolve the issue itself.
The King of Shanxi once purchased a batch of aircraft from the Mawushan base area. Their aviation fleet was too small and lacked accessories, so it is now basically unable to form combat effectiveness.
Hearing that a large number of aircraft had been obtained here, the King of Shanxi planned to expand the size of his aviation fleet, so he sent his secretary and the head of the aviation fleet to fly to the Mawushan base area with the intention of purchasing another batch of fighter jets and bombers.
General Fu from Zhongtiao Mountain also hoped to own an aviation fleet, and he also sent people to request the purchase of a batch of aircraft.
Zhao Gang was very excited and was busy talking about business all day long. The recent battle in Licheng consumed a lot of logistics reserves in the base area, and he wanted to make a fortune from this matter.
He was very conscientious in his work. In order to negotiate a good price, he personally consulted Bob and others to understand the condition of the aircraft. He appeared very professional during the negotiation.
People who come to negotiate to buy an aircraft must find various reasons to lower the price. Seeing that Zhao Gang is so professional, they can't fool him, so they don't dare to make random remarks when making quotations.
After bargaining, the king of Shanxi bought another reconnaissance plane, six fighter jets and 12 bombers.
General Fu didn't have a big appetite and only bought eight bombers. He felt that fighter jets were not practical. Bombers could be used frequently and could also be used as transport aircraft.
With Zhao Gang's efforts, the aircraft were sold for an average of 70% of the aircraft's selling price, adding 650,000 yuan to the Mawushan Military Division.
Zhang Wanhe was very enthusiastic and hung out with Zhao Gang all day long, even going with him during negotiations. Of course Zhao Gang knew what he meant.
After receiving the money to purchase the aircraft, Zhao Gang took out 250,000 yuan and handed it over to Zhang Wanhe.
Zhang Wanhe smiled happily and said that after Xu Dalong came back, he would come to the Mawushan Military Division again, and he would spend his own money to treat the leaders of the military division to drinks.
People were also sent from the north of Shaanxi. Under Zhao Gang's arrangement and under the guidance of the mechanics of the flying group, temporary auxiliary fuel tanks were installed on the transport aircraft and bombers. Two transport aircraft and six bombers flew to northern Shaanxi.
The space of the fighter jet was too small and it could only carry auxiliary fuel tanks normally. The fuel was not enough to fly to northern Shaanxi, so the flight to northern Shaanxi was abandoned.
After some operations by Zhao Gang, a total of 35 aircraft of various types including purchase and giveaway were eliminated, leaving 47 aircraft left in this batch. With so many aircraft, the Mawushan Military Division could not use them at all.
However, Zhao Gang does not worry about this. With so many aircraft, maintenance can be carried out in rotation, and some aircraft can be dismantled to maintain other aircraft, which can maintain the combat effectiveness of the flying group.
Peiping, North China Front Army Headquarters.
After the troops of the Eighth Route Army evacuated, the Baoding garrison rushed to the airport. They saw that the airport was in a mess, and all the buildings were destroyed. Except for a few planes originally parked here, there was no way to take them away and they were burning.
Leave it to the Japanese army.
They reported the situation here to the North China Front Army.
After receiving the report, the commander of the front army first felt that this was done by Xu Dalong and others from Shanxi.
He immediately sent a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio, asking him to hurry up and investigate the matter.
After Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, his head immediately grew bigger. Based on his previous experience, he immediately sent a telegram to Chiba Xunichi stationed in Yucheng, asking him to conduct an investigation at the airport outside the city.
Qianye Xunyi did not dare to leave the city, so he called Yan Guiwu and asked him to send puppet troops stationed nearby to check on the airport.
Yan Guiwu ordered the puppet troops stationed in a stronghold near the airport to go to the airport. They saw that it was empty and there were no Eighth Route Army troops. So they went directly into the city and reported to Yan Guiwu.
Yan Guiwu called Qianye Xunyi and said that there was no Eighth Route Army outside the city. Qianye Xunyi then sent someone out of the city to check at the airport.
After the Japanese troops arrived at the airport, they saw that the three large holes on the original runway had been filled. They did not see the steel plates on them, because the Eighth Route Army could not leave the steel plates to the Japanese troops. When they withdrew, they also took them with them.
gone.
After Qianye Xunyi received the report, he realized that the Eighth Route Army outside the city had been working hard all night, and it turned out that they were repairing the runway. The roar of the plane in the sky was that Xu Dalong and the others had robbed the plane at Baoding Airport and used it.
Refuel at Yucheng airport and then fly to Mawushan base area.
Chiba Xunyi felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to explain this matter to his superiors.
He said to the chief of staff: "It's that damn Xu Dalong again. He robbed Huang Jun's plane from Baoding. Just rob it. Why do you have to use the airport outside our city?"
It is really difficult to explain this matter to the superiors. If we report it truthfully, our superiors will definitely blame us for not reporting the situation of the Eighth Route Army's emergency repair of the airport to the superiors. Therefore, I am afraid that what happened at Baoding Airport cannot be separated from us.
.”
While listening to the report from the Japanese army, the chief of staff also thought about this problem. He had been thinking about how to explain it to his superiors, and at this time he already had a countermeasure.
He said: "There is nothing hard to explain. The airport outside the city has suffered serious damage before and cannot be repaired in a short time. If the Eighth Route Army repairs it in advance, we cannot not notice it.
Who knows how the Eighth Route Army was able to repair the airport in just a few hours at night? We don’t know what method they used, so there is no way to detect it in advance. We will report the situation to the superiors truthfully, and they will rely on
What are you accusing us of?"
After Qianye Xunyi thought about it, he also felt that it made sense.
He said: "That's right, don't say we can't think of it. I think even the Commander may not be able to figure out how the Eighth Route Army repaired the airport quickly? Then let's just draft the telegram according to the actual situation and let the Commander worry about it.
.”
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters.
After receiving the telegram from Chiba Xunyi, Yoshio Shinozuka was able to confirm that Xu Dalong was indeed responsible for this incident.
As the supreme commander of the Shanxi garrison, he must bear unshirkable responsibility for the attack on Baoding Airport. He must also find a suitable reason to deal with the incident.
After discussing with the chief of staff, he also felt that what Chiba said was reasonable. If the Eighth Route Army had mastered advanced technology that could quickly repair the airport runway, it would be impossible to detect their intentions.
This was a good reason. They forwarded the telegram sent by Chiba Xunyi to the North China Front Army, leaving them to deal with this matter.
The air force stationed in North China was attacked again, and the North China Front Army must also be responsible. If there is no reasonable explanation, the Army will also be criticized by the Air Force. The commander of the Front Army received a message from Yoshio Shinozuka
He also felt that the telegram that came in made sense, so he called the air force commander stationed in the North China Front and handed them the telegram from Chiba Xunyi.
This trick really worked. The commanders of the Air Force could not figure out how Xu Dalong and the others completed the repair of the airport runway in just a few hours, so they had no choice but to go back and call in engineering technicians.
personnel conduct research.
There are still capable people in the Japanese army. They considered various options for repairing the airport, and finally came up with the idea of using steel plates to lay the ground to repair the runway.
After the air force commanders came to this conclusion, they also felt that the Japanese troops stationed in Yucheng had no idea of using this technology to repair the airport in a short period of time and at night. Therefore, it was unjustifiable to accuse others.
However, there must be a scapegoat in the end. The North China Front Army really couldn't find a scapegoat, so it finally put the responsibility on the 17th Independent Brigade of the Baoding Garrison. The brigade commander of the 17th Independent Brigade was removed from his post and investigated.
, this matter is over.
After passing this incident, the North China Front hated Xu Dalong even more. The commander personally sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, asking him to hurry up and get rid of Xu Dalong no matter what method was used.
The Chief of the Special High School Section of the Peking Military Police Headquarters came to Taiyuan specifically to deal with Xu Dalong. In order to learn more about Xu Dalong, the Special High School Section Chief conducted extensive investigations.
He asked everyone who had dealt with Xu Dalong before to understand his tactical characteristics.
In order to learn more about Xu Dalong, the director of the Special High School personally went to Yucheng.
After meeting Qianye Xunyi, he asked Qianye Xunyi to summon Japanese and puppet personnel who were familiar with Xu Dalong in order to understand the relevant situation of Xu Dalong.
Qianye Xunyi recommended Yan Guiwu to the Super High School Section Chief. He believed that the person who was most familiar with Xu Dalong was Yan Guiwu, and it was up to him to provide relevant information to the Super High School Section Chief.
Not to mention, the person who knew Xu Dalong the most among the Japanese and puppet troops was Yan Guiwu.
When he saw the super high school section chief and learned that he was here to deal with Xu Dalong, he felt ridiculed again.
He knew that this was another guy who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and came here to die. Xu Dalong was not a human at all, he was a god. Anyone who wanted to trouble Xu Dalong would not have a good result in the end.
Of course, he would not show it on the surface. Instead, he actively cooperated with the head of the special high school department and reported on his experience in dealing with Xu Dalong in detail, even with added detail.
The super high school section chief investigated very carefully. After listening to his report in the morning, he felt that it was not detailed enough.
He invited Yan Guiwu to have dinner with him at noon, and continued talking while eating. After eating, they talked for another two hours before letting Yan Guiwu leave.
Through Yan Guiwu's description, the head of the special high school had a much better understanding of Xu Dalong. Although he thought Xu Dalong was difficult to deal with, he thought there were still ways to deal with him.
He asked Qianye Xunyi and Yan Guiwu to strictly keep secrets and not to reveal the news that they had been here. Then he returned to Taiyuan.
Little did he know that by the time he left Yucheng, Yang Guiwu had already sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, reporting to him the intention of the head of the Peking Special Higher Education Course to deal with him.
Xu Dalong and Wei Monk stayed in Baoding for a week, helping the Fifth Army Division to capture a county town, and killed an infantry brigade of the Japanese army and a battalion of the puppet army. All the captured weapons and equipment were left to the Fifth Army Division.
They themselves also made 120,000 yuan from the county they conquered, and now they have returned to Mawu Mountain.
After receiving the telegram from Yan Guiwu, Xu Dalong originally did not want to tell Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others about this matter, lest they worry about him.
But he thought about it carefully and felt that he should tell them.
He is not thinking about himself. He is worried that the enemy will target him and accidentally injure other people. Therefore, he reminds everyone to be vigilant about this matter.
Li Yunlong said angrily: "These damn little devils are so shameless. They can't defeat their opponents on the frontal battlefield, so they only engage in these tricks.
To say that they have no future is to flatter them. It is simply too unreasonable."
Zhao Gang said worriedly: "Old Li is right, the Japanese army is despicable and will use any means. We still need to be more careful."
Xu Dalong said: "It's nothing special. Let them come if they have the ability. However, we all still have to be more vigilant about the little devil's conspiracy. The main leaders of the military divisions, as well as key targets such as the arsenal, must strengthen their defense work and cannot take it lightly.
"
Zhang Dabiao frowned and said: "Brother Dalong, it is indeed annoying that the little devils are plotting behind the scenes. It is best to find a way to stop them in advance."
Li Yunlong agreed with Zhang Dabiao's opinion. He said: "What Dabiao said is good. You can't always wait for the little devils to cause damage. You already know who is going to target you. It's better to knock on the door in advance and kill the little devils."
Under the covers."
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "I also have this idea. Since the little devils are desperate and anxious to report to their Aunt Tian Zhao, Lao Zi will go and give them a lift."
