Stepping into the headquarters, Zhou Weiguo saw that everyone in the headquarters was busy and there was wind under his feet.
"Report! Zhou Weiguo, the operational staff officer of the Expeditionary Force to Burma, is here to report!" He announced his identity loudly and stood at attention at the door, causing everyone's attention to shift to him.
Some people frowned.
Some people are surprised.
Whispers abounded.
"Is this Zhou Weiguo?"
"You don't have three heads and six arms! Why are you so good at fighting Japanese enemies?"
"A lieutenant general and division commander will serve as a combat advisor like us?"
"There's a ghost inside!"
With Zhou Weiguo's sharp ears, he naturally heard all these discussions, and the corners of his mouth curled up, which was quite interesting.
"Come in." A male voice came, and everyone fell silent.
"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo responded and then walked in.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses raised his head, looked at Zhou Weiguo, and then smiled, "Young people are scary. Only with people like you can the country have successors."
"Commander, commend me." Zhou Weiguo also looked at the man in front of him. If he guessed correctly, this man should be Luo Zhuoying, Chen Chengzhi's think tank. In later generations, when talking about famous anti-Japanese generals, many people will think of Zhang Zizhong.
Xue Yue, as well as Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Zhang Lingfu, Sun Liren, etc., but in fact, on the anti-Japanese battlefield, Luo Zhuoying's name was like thunder.
Luo Zhuoying and Chen Cheng were both classmates in the eighth period of Baoding. They were not only in the same class, but also at the same desk. Therefore, the two had a close relationship and became sworn brothers. Chen Cheng was the most trusted person by Chiang Kai-shek. Because of this relationship, Luo Zhuoying also
He was also deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek.
"Okay, now that you're here, I'll let someone take you to your place." Luo Zhuoying said, although Zhou Weiguo's achievements are real, Zhou Weiguo is still too young. He is so young that some people are envious. He is very
It is clear why Zhou Weiguo takes up the post of combat staff. The British named the independent division, but the independent division cannot be moved lightly, so they can only name Zhou Weiguo. But when Zhou Weiguo comes, what will he do? Lead an army by himself? Then when will this army arrive?
Surnamed Guo or Communist? Japan cannot win. This is the consensus of everyone. Why? Japan only has so many places and so many people, and now it wants to occupy such a large territory. Do you really think that Britain and the United States are easy to bully? Japan now has the advantage
, it’s just thanks to the surprise attack. So, what will happen after the anti-Japanese war is over? What will happen to China?
So someone suggested that it would be good to let Zhou Weiguo serve as a combat staff officer without real power, which would meet the requirements of the British and avoid the above bad consequences. No matter how you look at it, it is a clever plan.
What's more, with the country's righteousness at the forefront, Zhou Weiguo couldn't refuse. If he really refused, they could control public opinion. The anti-Japanese heroes are just villains who pursue their own selfish interests.
What they didn't expect was that Zhou Weiguo agreed. He agreed so calmly.
So, someone decided to give Zhou Weiguo a warning. Even when Zhou Weiguo arrived in Yunnan, no one knew about it.
After listening to Luo Zhuoying's words, Zhou Weiguo nodded. He believed that with Luo Zhuoying's magnanimity, he would not embarrass him. So, who are the people who have been enemies of Zhou Weiguo since the Japanese Emperor's telegram incident?
…
Kunming Airport, Yang Jian has returned.
After returning, I discovered that the hundreds of planes had not left.
Yang Jian was surprised, because they should have completed the task of escorting Zhou Weiguo. Since it was completed, they should return. But after thinking about it, Shandong is so far away from Yunnan, so they should rest and replenish fuel. Even if they have to return,
It should be tomorrow, and it's getting dark now.
After thinking about it this way, Yang Jian understood. He felt that he was thinking correctly.
Looking up, he saw a major general walking over. He was still bald and looked a bit older. His eyes were quite ferocious.
"This brother?" Zhu Ziming said with a smile, "Is there a place to stay here? We have to stay here for a while."
"Hello, sir!" Yang Jian shouted, but he felt a little irritated inside. Why did he have to call everyone "sir" when he came over? Why do the people in the independent division have such high military ranks?
Zhu Ziming waved his hand, "You're welcome."
"Sir, there is a guesthouse at the airport that can provide accommodation." Yang Jian replied. He looked at the number of planes. Is this too many people? "Sir, how many people in your department need accommodation?"
Zhu Ziming thought for a while, "You prepare a place for 400 people. If there are not that many, just mark a place and I will let the soldiers set up their own tents."
If all the planes were Hellcats, there wouldn't be so many people, but some of them were Liberator bombers, which would require a lot of people to operate them. If you add them all up, it's almost enough if you don't have 300 people. Plus there are more
There are maintenance staff!
Zhu Ziming planned to stay a little longer, so he naturally had to bring maintenance personnel with him. Originally, when everything was simple, the soldiers would maintain their own aircraft. But now that development has developed and the division of labor has become clear, the soldiers only
You need to be responsible for flying in the sky and killing enemies.
Yang Jian really muttered, so many people?
With so many people living here for such a long time, will there be any accidents? Well, this is not something he, a battalion commander, can consider.
"Sir, the hotel can only provide accommodation for a hundred people at most."
Zhu Ziming nodded. He also saw that with the size of this airport and the dozens of planes parked at the airport, there would definitely not be much room left for them. "Then let's arrange it like this first.
Then we can allocate an open space for us to make our lives a little more convenient."
"yes!"
…
"Colonel, I heard that those planes will be staying in Wujiaba for a while." A tall blond man with a high nose and blue eyes ran to a black-haired man and said.
"A period of time? How long? How long?" The black-haired man frowned, "I want a specific time."
"I don't know the specific time."
The dark-haired man's frown deepened. He was Chennault. As early as June 3, 1936, he was appointed as a consultant to the Chinese Air Force to help establish the Chinese Air Force. This time the expeditionary force was established, he was in charge of the American Air Volunteer Corps of the Chinese Air Force.
Serve as the captain of the colonel. Originally, they were making good preparations here, but today suddenly more than a hundred aircraft arrived, and they were from independent divisions.
Looking at it again, these people don’t seem to be leaving? What do you mean, the airport is so big, if you don’t leave, how will we train and use it?
Chennault had also heard about the Air Force of the Independent Division for a long time. He always did not think that the Air Force of one division could accomplish anything big. It was not until the Air Force of the Independent Division performed well on the battlefield that he realized that he was wrong. You know, he was under Chiang Kai-shek
Under the instruction from here, the air force they helped to form was no match for an air force of one division?
The reason is that the central government does not have as much money as this division!
Chennault didn't believe it at first, but then he had to believe it.
Until today, I saw with my own eyes an aviation unit of the Independent Division.
