He is not saying that he looks down on female soldiers and discriminates against women, but he is taking care of female soldiers... The Eighth Route Army has female soldiers, and there are quite a few of them, but they are basically not placed in combat units, and most of them are second-line health workers.
, art troupe, correspondents, transportation team, etc.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have long formed a consciousness of taking care of female soldiers, that is, without the need for orders from superiors, everyone has a tacit understanding to leave safer and easier tasks to female soldiers, and try not to let female soldiers go if they can.
Enter female soldier.
Li Yunlong is no exception this time.
There was no way before. Someone had to fly ten planes, and no one else knew how to fly them. Of course Li Yueying had to fly them too.
Now I heard that Chinese pilots can also fly, so of course they have to find a way to replace Li Yueying.
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
From the perspective of taking care of female soldiers, Wang Xuexin agreed with Li Yunlong's order.
But from the perspective of completing the task...this adds a few variables!
Wang Xuexin was about to say something, but Zhao Gang's voice rang again on the other end of the phone: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, this time I think the head of the regiment is right, we should replace Comrade Li Yueying. First of all, there are political reasons. Li Yueying is not only a woman
Comrade, she is a lesbian sent by Ying Jiang. If anything happens to her, it will be difficult for us to deal with her, and they say that we can't even protect a lesbian."
Wang Xuexin was stunned and felt that what he said was right. It was not just a matter of the mission, but also an issue of trust between the military and civilians of the two countries... If it were a male soldier, it would be normal for him to sacrifice on the battlefield, including the Yingjiang pilots.
Exception, but if it is a female soldier, the impact is not of the same magnitude.
Zhao Gang continued: "Besides, Comrade Li Yueying is the only pilot translator. He can speak both Chinese and English and has flying skills. He is an excellent instructor. He is even more important to us than... Anyway, it is very important.
.”
Wang Xuexin almost laughed.
He knew what Zhao Gang wanted to say. Zhao Gang wanted to say that Li Yueying was more important to the Eighth Route Army than Major Doug, but he was worried that Major Doug was on the other end of the phone or that the words would reach Major Doug's ears in the future, so he stopped it in time.
Mouthed.
But this is indeed true. Major Doug does not speak Chinese, and it is true that he is not as convenient as Li Yueying as an instructor.
"So!" Zhao Gang concluded: "If we send Li Yueying to the battlefield, if something happens... it will be difficult for us to carry out our future work. If possible, Comrade Li Yueying must be replaced!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded: "I promise to complete the task!"
Wang Xuexin didn't expect this, but now that Zhao Gang mentioned it, he realized that this was indeed a problem.
If Li Yueying died, even if a few other Yingjiang pilots survived, there would still be a language barrier...
If you just want to communicate, you can use other translators, but the fact is that there are many professional aviation terms that other translators cannot explain.
At the same time, relying on translators to make transitions in the middle, even if there is no problem with the translation level, is much more difficult in teaching, and it is impossible to be as smooth as Li Yueying.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin hesitated and hung up the phone to the Yingjiang pilot headquarters.
The person who answered the phone was Li Yueying... She was the only one of the Yingjiang pilots who knew Chinese, so she could only serve as the correspondent.
"Major Doug is out!" Li Yueying said: "He wants to see the rockets installed under the wings. He is always worried about these rockets! Do you need me to call him?"
"No!" Wang Xuexin said, "I'm just looking for you!"
"Looking for me?" Li Yueying sounded a little confused, and then she understood: "Is it about pilot training? Don't worry, Comrade Wang Xuexin, I will make every effort to train Comrade Zhou Yuankai well, even if it only takes one day.
time!"
"You can say that." Wang Xuexin replied: "But you need to train one more person, another person..."
Wang Xuexin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Li Dongcheng, let him train with Zhou Yuankai!"
Like Zhou Yuankai, Li Dongcheng has been flying transport aircraft, so his handling and practical experience will be much better than other pilots.
"Why two pilots?" Li Yueying had an ominous premonition.
"Sorry, Second Lieutenant!" Wang Xuexin said: "The superiors do not intend to let you participate in this operation. They think it is too dangerous..."
"No, this is not fair!" Li Yueying became a little anxious: "You can't do this, it will add a lot of danger to the mission!"
After a pause, Li Yueying added: "What's more, I am Yingjiang's pilot, you have no right to order me!"
"Do you still remember when you first got off the plane and you were anxious to join us?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"Remember!" Li Yueying said, "So what?"
"Congratulations!" Wang Xuexin said seriously: "We have officially approved you to join the Eighth Route Army. Now...as the person in charge of the airport, I order you..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yueying hung up the phone.
Wang Xuexin looked at the microphone and felt a little helpless. Li Yunlong or Zhao Gang should be responsible for this matter. Why did he suddenly let himself get this hot potato without knowing it?!
However, Wang Xuexin could not just let it go.
Because the next day is very important, Li Yueying needs to truly teach Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng to drive Hawker 81 in one day.
If Li Yueying had any emotional problems, this mission would really be over.
In desperation, Wang Xuexin could only put down the phone and go to the Yingjiang pilot headquarters in person.
The Yingjiang pilots were arranged in a tunnel in Nanshan... That was the hiding direction of Hawker 81, and the cross Hawker 81s were concentrated at the foot of Nanshan.
The reason why they should be concentrated at the foot of Nanshan Mountain is that there is a high probability that enemy bombers will fly from the direction of the stubborn army, that is, from the south.
Concentrating aircraft at the foot of Nanshan Mountain can reduce the probability of being bombed as much as possible... Due to the obstruction of the mountain, enemy bombers flying from the south will have a hard time hitting the foot of Nanshan Mountain, whether they approach from high altitude or dive at low altitude.
The distance is not far, the straight-line distance is only more than 300 meters, but Wang Xuexin needed to go down the mountain, pass the airport and then go up the mountain. It took about 20 minutes of tossing to reach the headquarters specially set up for Yingjiang.
It is said to be a headquarters, but in fact it is just a few tunnels and a cement bunker... The cement bunker is for the Yingjiang pilots to use for emergency escape. They train outdoors, if it is too late to hide in the tunnel, they can hide in the bunker.
.
The telephone was set up in the bunker. Wang Xuexin opened the door and walked in to see, but Li Yueying was lying on the table crying sadly...
