Li Dongcheng found an excuse to find Wan Qisong early the next morning.
Wan Qisong actually stayed up all night. He had been worried that the Japanese or puppet soldiers would suddenly appear at the door of the dormitory and take him away. Therefore, whenever there was the sound of footsteps of patrols passing by the door, his heart skipped a beat.
Lifted it up.
But the longer we wait, the more relieved Wan Qisong will be.
Because he knew that if Li Dongcheng wanted to betray him, there would be no need to think about it for so long.
If you haven't reported it by now, you probably have listened to what you said.
Sure enough, when he saw Li Dongcheng the next day, the first thing Li Dongcheng asked was: "What should I do?"
Wan Qisong was secretly happy in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He replied: "It's very simple. By flying to Yuncheng on a mission, let me know when you are ready and I will contact them to avoid accidental injuries."
!”
At this time, the Eighth Route Army really had the possibility of "accidental damage" to aircraft, because the Eighth Route Army already had anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, especially Yuncheng, which was a key defensive position.
Li Dongcheng nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and asked, "How many pilots are there?"
Wan Qisong didn't understand what Li Dongcheng meant.
Li Dongcheng added: "How many pilots do you have in total?"
Wan Qisong didn't know this either, so he could only answer: "It's far from that!"
This was what Li Dongcheng had expected. He said: "I'll try to see if I can persuade a few more people. Just wait for my news and don't act rashly!"
Wan Qisong immediately understood what Li Dongcheng meant, gratefully held Li Dongcheng's hand and said, "Good comrade!"
Li Dongcheng patted Wan Qisong on the shoulder and said, "We are good brothers!"
Wan Qisong nodded heavily, looking at Li Dongcheng's back and not knowing what to say.
Li Dongcheng's simple words just now may seem like nothing on the surface, but they actually contain self-sacrifice.
The so-called "persuading" means to persuade someone to surrender.
There is no doubt that every attempt to persuade someone to surrender is a high risk, because as long as one person has different intentions, Li Dong's achievement is over... He could have done nothing, just follow Wan Qisong's words, and change alone during the mission
There was a "swish" sound from the heading or something, and before others could react, they had already arrived in Yuncheng.
This is a great achievement for Li Dongchen in itself, and it can also fulfill his dream.
But Li Dongcheng did not do this, but tried to persuade others to surrender.
Not only that, Li Dongcheng also told Wan Qisong "not to act rashly."
This means... once Li Dongcheng fails to persuade him to surrender and his identity is exposed, it will end there and Wan Qisong will not be affected.
In other words, Li Dongcheng was still protecting Wan Qisong at this time.
What Wan Qisong didn't know was that the reason why Li Dongcheng did this was not entirely for Wan Qisong.
He thought clearly all night.
1: If the Eighth Route Army has insufficient pilots, it will not be able to form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, and it will not be able to fly into the sky to fight the Japanese as quickly as possible... This is considered from its own perspective.
Two: Li Dongcheng knows much better than Wan Qisong about the status, thoughts, and character of the pilots in the same air force as him. Rather than letting Wan Qisong persuade him to surrender, it would be better to let him, the deputy,
When the captain comes forward, this is called precise persuasion to surrender. If Wan Qisong is asked randomly, bad things will happen.
Three: As a pilot, Li Dongcheng also has an inherent advantage...the Japanese Tachikawa transport plane can carry eight people, including three pilots and five crew members.
If it doesn't work, we'll persuade you to surrender from heaven. What else can you think of?
Willing or not?
It's best to be willing.
No, the control is in my hands, the plane has already flown towards Yuncheng.
If you want to be a monster, are you afraid that I will drive the plane and hit the ground?
So the matter was settled.
But Li Dongcheng was more ambitious, and he was still thinking of an old comrade of his... Most of the puppet air force surrendered from the stubborn army, and there were only a few pilots of the stubborn army. They were either comrades or classmates, and they were each other.
acquaintance.
This old comrade-in-arms was someone Li Dongcheng trusted, named Zhou Yuankai.
They fought against the Japanese through life and death many times, and Zhou Yuankai even saved Li Dongcheng's life.
The reason why Zhou Yuankai surrendered to the puppet army was because of Ye Peng, the so-called "defense force" of the puppet army... Zhou Yuankai was a distant relative of Ye Peng. When Ye Peng surrendered to the enemy, he ordered Zhou Yuankai to fly the plane. Zhou Yuankai was already arrested before he understood what was going on.
Controlled.
If Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng were flying on the same plane, it would be easier to talk. Li Dongcheng wouldn't have to say anything. It wouldn't be too late to discuss it after they get on the plane.
The problem is that Zhou Yuankai is the pilot of another plane.
When Li Dongcheng came back, Zhou Yuankai was brushing his teeth with a towel on his shoulder.
Li Dongcheng also followed him with a tooth cup. While brushing his teeth, he said vaguely: "If you have a chance, would you like to go?"
Zhou Yuankai stopped brushing his teeth, looked around nervously, and immediately resumed brushing his teeth, asking: "What opportunity? Chongqing?"
Zhou Yuankai smiled bitterly. His distant relative Ye Peng has become the "Minister of Defense" of the puppet army. Can he still return to Chongqing?
Li Dongcheng did not answer, but put down his tooth cup and quickly opened his thumb and index finger in front of Zhou Yuankai, making an "eight" sign.
This is a gesture commonly used by puppet troops and Japanese soldiers, and it means "Eighth Route Army's work."
This time Zhou Yuankai was even more shocked. He stared at Li Dongcheng in disbelief with his big eyes, as if to say: "Why did you get in touch with the Eighth Route Army?"
Li Dongcheng didn't explain much. He just said: "They have a plane. The Hawker 81 given by Yingjiang is short of people! If you want to fly it or not, let me know if you think about it!"
After saying that, he left as if nothing happened.
Pilots know pilots best, and Li Dongcheng’s words immediately hit Zhou Yuankai’s heart.
Although they are stubborn military pilots, they are all Chinese. Which one doesn't want to fly a plane for the Japanese after learning a skill? Which one doesn't want to show off his skills in the blue sky and white clouds? Which one doesn't want to have a showdown with the Japanese?
life and death?
Zhou Yuankai's only concern was his identity: Ye Peng's distant relative.
Can the Eighth Route Army believe him?
Also, is it true or false that the Eighth Route Army has planes?
Don't they even have a rifle?
but……
The Eighth Route Army received the assistance of Mao Xiong and received a large number of tanks, including T34.
From this point of view, it is not impossible for the Eighth Route Army to obtain 100 Hawker 81s with the help of Eagle Sauce.
Therefore, Zhou Yuankai had less time to consider than Li Dongcheng. When he found Li Dongcheng, he even added a surrender plan:
"In two days, Ye Peng is going to have an inspection. At that time, two planes may need to be dispatched. The location is uncertain. That will be the opportunity!"
