After all the fires were extinguished, Xu Rui was still worried. He checked it from beginning to end again and extinguished the few fires that were still smoking. As soon as he finished his work, the faint sound of aircraft engines sounded in the northwest sky.
There was a roar, and then several navigation lights that flickered on and off appeared from the night sky and flew towards this side.
Mo Zichen smacked his lips and said, "Damn, the little devil came here really fast."
Wang Husheng also said worriedly: "Old Xu, our plane will not be discovered by the Japanese, right?"
"Don't worry, at least it won't be discovered before dawn." Xu Rui said, "But after dawn, our plane will have nowhere to hide, so we have to try to move it quickly."
"Transfer?" Wang Husheng said, "Transfer to where?"
Xu Rui asked: "Are there any hidden places such as caves, woods or reed swamps nearby?"
"I'm afraid there are no caves, but there are woods, but they are far apart." Wang Husheng said, "There is a large lake not far from here, and there is a large reed swamp beside the lake."
"That's it." Xu Rui said, "Hurry up and find more people to carry the plane over."
At that moment, Wang Husheng recruited more than a hundred militiamen, who carried the Type 96 land bomber, which weighed more than four tons, on their backs and shoulders to Jinjia Lake, about two kilometers away.
There are really large reeds growing beside Jinjia Lake.
After hiding the Type 96 land bomber in the reeds, Xu Rui took it upon himself to disguise it.
It was so busy that at dawn, the huge fuselage of the Type 96 land bomber had disappeared into the reeds.
In order to be as foolproof as possible, Xu Rui walked to the lake and took a look. He found that there was no flaw at least a hundred meters away. Due to the viewing angle, Xu Rui couldn't see it from the sky, but Xu Rui was very careful about his disguise.
I am still very confident. As long as the Japanese reconnaissance plane does not fly over from a low altitude of tens of meters, it will definitely not be discovered.
By this time, Wang Husheng's excitement had passed and he began to worry.
Wang Husheng frowned and said: "Old Xu, hiding the plane here is not a problem? Youdao means that people talk a lot. Although I have already explained it and asked all the militiamen involved in the operation to keep it secret, I can't guarantee that anyone will talk a lot.
If you tell us, we will definitely attract Japanese bombers, and if you just throw a few aerial bombs, our plane will be finished."
Xu Rui nodded and said: "There is no airtight wall in the world. This is indeed a hidden danger."
Wang Husheng said again: "Otherwise, when it gets dark today, we can fly the plane back to Damei Mountain?"
"It's definitely not possible today, and it won't be possible in the near future!" Xu Rui shook his head decisively, "Old Wang, you have to understand that this is a land-based long-range bomber, also known as a strategic bomber. Do you know what a strategic bomber means?
This means that taking off from our Dameishan, we can directly bomb Tokyo, the capital of Little Japan!"
"My dear." Wang Husheng said in shock after hearing this, "Can this plane fly so far?"
"That's not what happened." Xu Rui said, "Otherwise, the little devil could go crazy and dispatch so many reconnaissance planes and fighter jets to completely blockade our Damei Mountain? We didn't wait in the airspace of Damei Mountain and immediately expanded the search.
range, and targeted the peripheral Pu County, Shan County and Guan County?"
After a pause, Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "In short, the little devil will never give up until this bomber is found and destroyed, at least not in a short period of time!"
"Then what should we do?" Wang Husheng said, "Isn't it a big deal that I always hide here?"
"You are right. If you put the plane here, it will be exposed sooner or later." Xu Rui said, "So I think we can only use the stupidest method to transport the bomber back to Dameishan."
"The stupidest way." Wang Husheng asked in surprise, "What way?"
"It's up to people to carry it." Xu Rui said, "Organize a group of strong young militiamen, divide them into three teams, and carry the plane back to Damei Mountain when it gets dark at night."
"What did you say?" Wang Husheng said in a voiceless voice, "Carry it back?"
Xu Rui said: "If you fly back, you will be shot down. It won't work if you leave it here. Then you can only carry it back when it's dark."
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "Fortunately, the distance from here to Meizhen is only more than two hundred miles at most. Even if we walk forty miles in one night, we can almost carry it back in five nights."
"That's okay." Wang Husheng said helplessly, "Then just carry it back."
"And the disguise after stopping in the middle must be done carefully." Xu Rui said this to Mo Zichen, "I leave this to you, Old Mo. In a word, if this Type 96
The long-range bombers were blown up by the Japanese on the way, so don't go back, just find a place where no one is around to hang yourself."
"Donkey Sun, you have such a dark heart." Mo Zichen cursed in a low voice.
After finishing the business, Xu Rui asked Wang Husheng again: "Old Wang, how is the tunnel digging going?"
"It's not bad." Wang Husheng said, "The main tunnels in each village have almost been formed. What needs to be done next is to connect all the tunnels in each village, then reinforce the main tunnels in each village, and then build drainage
System, ventilation system, anti-virus project, if there is still time, dig as many tunnel branches as possible."
The main tunnel, which is the future battlefield, is usually near the village, or even in the village!
In the future, when the Japs come over, the militiamen will mainly fight guerrilla warfare against the Japs in the main tunnels.
However, in order to stop the Japanese soldiers coming from the direction of Huainan, it is not enough to just dig tunnels in the village.
At that moment, Xu Rui said again: "Old Wang, the main tunnel cannot be dug only in the village. Otherwise, if the little devil is cornered and tries to cut off the logistics supply line by you, he must rush forward without hesitation.
, then you have to be blind, so you have to choose a suitable location and dig more main tunnels near the highway."
"Don't worry, Lao Xu." Wang Husheng said, "The tunnel was designed by Jiuling, and it can't be wrong."
When Wang Husheng said this, Xu Rui felt relieved. Mei Jiuling was Xu Rui's favorite student. If he failed to consider even such a small omission, it would be impossible to gain Xu Rui's trust and be appointed.
Given the important responsibility of the engineer battalion commander, you must know that the engineer battalion of the Dameishan Military Division is no ordinary engineer battalion.
The engineering battalion of the Dameishan Military Region is the seed unit of the aviation corps, tank corps, and motorized infantry regiment!
Wang Husheng added: "By the way, Lao Xu, Jiuling is also in Guanxian County. If this guy knows that you got such a plane back, I don't know how happy he will be. Otherwise, why don't you go meet Jiuling?"
"I'm not going, I don't have time." Xu Rui said, "I have to rush to Feicheng right away."
"Going to Feicheng?" Wang Husheng said in surprise, "Aren't there veterans in Feicheng?"
"But after so many days, the veteran has not made any noise." Xu Rui said, "I have to go and see for myself. By the way, I should quickly send a telegram to Xiao Taohong and the others and ask them to return to Damei Mountain as soon as possible."
Before going down the mountain yesterday, Xu Rui did not expect what would happen next.
So now, Xu Rui and Mo Zichen have returned to Damei Mountain, but Xiao Taohong, Lei Xiang, Shi Xiaoqian and Feng Wubian are still waiting for him in Zijin Mountain. Thinking of Xiao Taohong, Xu Rui's heart warms slightly
, this little girl has not seen him return to the Purple Mountain secret camp for so long, I wonder how anxious she will be.
(Dividing line)
What Xu Rui said was right, Xiao Taohong was really anxious.
A full twenty-four hours have passed since Xu Rui and Mo Zichen left Purple Mountain early yesterday morning, but they still haven't seen the two people come back. What worries Xiao Taohong especially is that in the early hours of this morning, Caochangmen
There was a big explosion outside the grassland gate, but Xu Rui and Mo Zichen never came back. Xiao Taohong just couldn't stop thinking about it, especially two days ago, the three of them had just died.
Half an hour ago, Xiao Taohong climbed to the Purple Mountain again and waited eagerly.
However, Xiao Taohong was completely panicked before Xu Rui and Mo Zichen came back.
After coming down, Xiao Taohong called Lei Xiang to her side and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lei, I'm not worried that my uncle and brother Mo haven't come back for so long. I have to go outside the grassland gate to have a look."
Lei Xiang immediately said: "Xiao Taohong, it's better for me to go."
Xiao Taohong shook her head with determination. She didn't want to wait on the mountain for a moment. At this moment, she wanted to put on her wings and fly outside the grassland gate to Xu Rui. Of course, the premise was that Xu Rui was there.
While the two were arguing, the radio station standing aside suddenly started beeping.
"There's a signal!" Lei Xiang shouted immediately, "Xiao Taohong, maybe the leader is calling!"
Xiao Taohong perked up and immediately sat in front of the radio station. After translating the code, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because the person calling her was not Xu Rui but political commissar Wang Husheng. However, Xiao Taohong still recorded the dots and dashes carefully, and then followed the instructions
The codebook was translated into text, but just halfway through, Xiao Taohong immediately screamed.
"Xiao Taohong." Lei Xiang asked what happened, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Only then did Xiao Taohong realize that she had lost her composure. Her pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "Uncle, he has returned to Damei Mountain."
"What did you say?" Lei Xiang said in shock, "Captain, Commander, he has returned to Dameishan? What is going on?"
Next to them, Shi Xiaoqian and Feng Wubian looked at each other in confusion. How did you say this? Xu Rui left them in Zijin Mountain, but he went back to Damei Mountain first? How could there be such a reason?
"No, it's not what you think." Xiao Taohong explained quickly, "The political commissar said in the telegram that my uncle snatched a long-range bomber from Ziyuan Airport last night and used the bomber to bomb the Caochangmen Arsenal.
Then he flew the bomber back to Dameishan first, that’s what happened.”
"My dear." Lei Xiang said in stunned silence, "I'm just going to say it, I'm going to say it, I'm going to say that the big explosion outside the gate of Shangcaochang last night must have been done by the regiment leader!"
