If it’s too long, I’m afraid it’s a long night of dreams and lots of plans that could easily be exposed.
If it’s too short, there won’t even be time to prepare.
Li Dongcheng, who got the plane in advance and had a mission two days later, immediately passed the information to Wan Qisong. Wan Qisong immediately tried to find a way to spread the information, and then it was not until the next night that he sent the information to Yuncheng through the radio in time: "There will be news within the day."
Two planes are flying to Yuncheng, be sure not to mistake them for enemy planes!"
The reason why we use "within days" instead of tomorrow is because Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng cannot determine the time, and it may change by then.
Li Yunlong was immediately happy as soon as he received the information. It had only been a few days since Xiao Dongbei had put out the idea, but planes were flying in immediately, and two of them came as soon as they arrived.
Not daring to neglect, he immediately ordered the anti-aircraft artillery units and anti-aircraft machine gun units distributed around Yuncheng not to fire in the past few days, waiting for orders.
The order "No shooting" is correct.
First, because the information was too short and did not say the model of the aircraft... in fact, even if the model was stated, the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft artillery unit would not recognize it.
The anti-aircraft artillery unit identifies aircraft models. Although this is a basic subject for all air defense units in modern times, the Eighth Route Army in this era does not even have anything flying in the sky. There is no need to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Everything flying in the sky is the enemy's aircraft.
.
In addition, the quality of these anti-aircraft artillery units and anti-aircraft machine gun units needs to be improved shortly after they were established, so it is impossible to identify the model at all.
Another reason is that the Eighth Route Army's air defense forces were still very weak at this time, and even if enemy planes attacked, they would be of little use.
It can only play a small role and may accidentally attack a surrendering aircraft, so why bother?
So we simply let them rest for a few days. Anyway, no matter what happens, they just don't shoot or shoot.
Wang Xuexin was also a little surprised when he heard the news.
There was only one plane that came to surrender in history. Why are there two planes coming now?
But think about it, this may be the temptation of Hawker 81. After all, most pilots have a dream, that is to fly in the sky... Those who fly in the sky will one day have to run on the ground on two legs and then grab a handful.
Fighting with the enemy with a rifle can be said to be a kind of sorrow, literally breaking its wings and falling from the sky to the ground.
It was different with the Hawker 81, and there were only a hundred of them. The stubborn army spent a lot of money at this time but only had more than a hundred. (Note: At this time, the Flying Tigers were divided into three squadrons, each with more than thirty aircraft.
).
The next day, Li Dongguo actually received the flight mission.
Before that, Li Dongcheng had been worried about whether another plane would be arranged for this flight... There are three "national government planes". If only two are needed, it may not be Li Dongcheng's turn to fly the "Huaihai".
(Note: The so-called special government planes of the Wang Puppet Regime are respectively "Jianguo", "Huaihai" and "Peace")
But soon Li Dongcheng realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Zhou Yuankai made some efforts based on his personal connections and decided that his two aircraft, the "Jianguo" and the "Huaihai", would carry out the mission.
That morning, Zhou Yuankai calmly handed over the takeoff documents to the Japanese team leader.
On the surface, the plane was given to the Wang Puppet Government, but in fact it was still managed by the Japanese... The Japanese were not at ease with the puppet army. From the beginning, they were worried that the puppet pilots would fly the plane and escape.
Therefore, the guards at the airport are all Japanese soldiers, not puppet troops. Without missions and Japanese seals, puppet pilots cannot even get close to the plane, let alone escape in the plane.
The Japanese team leader looked at the document and called to verify that there was no suspicion. He quickly stamped the document and called the guard to let him go.
Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng got on the plane as usual, started the engine, checked various instruments, and waited for Ye Peng and his party.
Li Dongcheng was a little nervous, and the wound on his back felt a dull pain when he was nervous.
It's strange to say that although he was always nervous when he fought with the Japanese several times, he wasn't as nervous as he was now.
Li Dongcheng wondered if this was because his psychological quality had deteriorated after not fighting for a long time.
Looking back later, Li Dongcheng felt that this was not the case.
The reason why he was nervous was because he couldn't believe that one day he would be able to get rid of this life of being a traitor, and even have the opportunity to fly into the sky to fight against the Japanese... This was something he never dared to dream about.
Soon, Ye Peng, the Minister of Defense, arrived with several entourages.
There were five of them in total. In addition to Ye Peng, there was an assistant, an adjutant and two guards.
One plane for five people is actually enough, but perhaps Ye Peng arranged two planes to show off his pomp.
Four of them boarded Zhou Yuankai's plane, and the adjutant boarded Li Dongcheng's plane.
Soon, with a roar, the two planes flew into the blue sky one after another and headed north.
At this time, Zhou Yuankai's voice came from Li Dongcheng's radio station: "Huaihai Huaihai, destination, Xinjing! Repeat, destination, Xinjing!"
This can also be seen that Ye Peng was very cautious and did not reveal the destination until the plane was in the sky... He had to be cautious because there were stubborn spies everywhere and even the common people wanted the life of him, a traitor.
When Li Dongcheng heard that the destination was Xinjing, his heart skipped a beat.
The so-called Xinjing is Changchun. After the Japanese occupied Changchun, in order to cover up their crimes of burning, killing and looting in China and beautifying their aggression, they built Changchun into a "model city"... To put it simply, it was all kinds of greening.
If foreigners come to visit the various factories, commerce and industry, they will be brought to this piled-up surface city to show them how "happy" the Chinese people are under the rule of the Japanese.
The Japanese even made several movies with Xinjing as the background and promoted them all over the world.
I have to say that the Japanese are very clever in their methods, but their sinister intentions and appearance are disgusting.
Ye Peng's trip to Xinjing this time was probably to examine Xinjing's model and then copy it to Nanjing to deceive some Chinese people into believing in their so-called "curve to save the country" theory... If the Japanese surrendered and the Japanese could live a prosperous life, wouldn't that prove that
Is the "curve to save the country" theory correct?
Li Dongcheng gritted his teeth with hatred, secretly thinking that it was a good thing he had decided to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, otherwise he would be disgusted to death by them one day.
But now there is a problem. From Nanjing to Xinjing, the route goes all the way north.
But Yuncheng is to the west. With such a big turn, will the people on board notice anything unusual?
If an abnormality is discovered and only two pilots on the crew are willing to surrender, I'm afraid there will still be difficulties.
