752. Recognize change
"Ten hours in advance? That's going to have to add a lot of range, right? Will they run out of fuel when they return home? After hearing this, Ling Yunpeng couldn't help frowning.
Gauss nodded, the young colonel's question was to the point: "Yes, taking off at this time means that they will have to fly an additional three hundred and ten kilometers, and six hours later, sixteen B-25s flew over Japan at noon Tokyo time, completing the bombing mission of Tokyo and some military and industrial targets in the cities of Yokohama, Yokosuka, Nagoya, Kobe and Osaka. After the bombing, the bombers flew southwest along the southern coast of Japan to eastern China, where they planned to land at several airfields in China's Zhejiang province that had not yet been occupied by the Japanese, and then refuel before flying to Chongqing. The easiest of these airports to find is Quzhou Airport, so they plan to land there. But who expected that the plan would not change quickly. ”
"What's wrong?" Bureau Seat and Ling Yunpeng asked in unison.
"I received a call from the president, who told me that when the formation came home, one plane had gone to Vladivostok because of the rapid fuel consumption, and the other fifteen planes were flying off the coast of China as planned, and they were flying in the darkness of the night, and they also encountered very bad weather, either dense fog or heavy rain, which made the crew unable to figure out the location of the airport. At this time, the plane was about to run out of fuel, so they had to abandon the plane over land and parachute or make a forced landing along the coast. Gauss sighed.
"And what is the current physical condition of these pilots?" The bureau interjected.
"Now I have received the news that most of the crew members have been found by the local well-meaning Chinese people, except for a few minor injuries, the others are not a big problem, but there are still five crew members because they landed in the mountains, so their whereabouts have not been found for a while, I hope that your government can help us find these crew members, and send them here safely, and then we will arrange for them to return to China."
"Mr. Ambassador, can you mark the approximate location of the landing of these five pilots on the map?" Ling Yunpeng had already understood the general situation of the matter, and now this search task undoubtedly fell on their heads, so they had to figure out the approximate landing location of these pilots before they could find them in a targeted manner.
"Yes." Gauss picked up a red pencil and drew a circle of several mountain passes and mountain villages on the border between Jiangxi and Zhejiang: "That's roughly the range. ”
Ling Yunpeng suddenly found that Penglai Village was also within the scope of Gauss's circle.
Ling Yunpeng picked up the map, looked at it carefully, studied it, then nodded, and put the map into the briefcase: "I know." So Mr. Ambassador, do you have any photos of these pilots? ”
"Yes, I brought a few of them." Mr. Gauss took out five photos of the pilots from his briefcase and handed them to Ling Yunpeng: "What I know now is that the five pilots of this crew have landed in these mountainous areas. ”
Ling Yunpeng took these photos, flipped through them, and put them in his briefcase.
"Yun Peng, this task will be handed over to your special team to complete, I believe you will not let me down." The commissioner patted Ling Yunpeng on the shoulder, expressing his confidence in Ling Yunpeng's special team.
"Yes, Yun Peng must live up to the trust of the commission."
"Yunong, you can discuss the specific matters with Yun Peng."
"Okay, commission, then Yun Peng and I will go back first."
"Well, if there is any demand, just put it forward, you can rest assured, I will definitely give my full support in terms of human, material and financial resources."
"Thank you for your seat."
Then the bureau seat walked out of the office of the commissioner, he raised his hand to look at the time, looked up at the weather again, and sighed: "Yunpeng, I originally planned to airdrop a few of you there, but now it seems that the weather in Chongqing does not help!" I had already asked the meteorological department before, and they said that Chongqing was either foggy or raining heavily these days, and it was difficult for planes to take off. You might as well take the waterway, maybe you might arrive earlier than by plane! ”
Ling Yunpeng nodded: "Okay, then we will first take the waterway to Wuhan, then take the train to Nanchang, and then take the car into the mountains to search." ”
After listening to Ling Yunpeng's plan, the bureau thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, yes, I remember that we have a freighter going to Wuhan at twelve o'clock at noon today, you can take that freighter and go, and I will inform my colleagues at Nanchang Station to fully assist you." ”
"Thank you."
The bureau and Ling Yunpeng got into the car together, and the car drove in the direction of the military headquarters.
"Yun Peng, let's send you to the guest house first, you explain the task to your brothers, and then prepare."
"Okay."
"Yun Peng, I originally wanted to keep you here for a few more days, and I also wanted to take you to know more government officials here, so that you can have more contact with them, and it will be very beneficial to help you enter politics in the future." The bureau patted Yun Peng's shoulder and sighed softly: "However, now this sudden incident has disrupted all my plans. “
"Bureau, I may not be suitable for dealing with those big guys, or I am more comfortable doing my old job." When Ling Yunpeng heard this, he realized that the outgoing seat deliberately wanted to cultivate himself to become his wings, Ling Yunpeng smiled faintly and politely excused himself.
"Hey, Yun Peng, do you want to fight and kill all your life, you have to find a way back for yourself, get to know those powerful people, this is good for you, Yun Peng, as long as you follow me, I will definitely let you soar."
"Thank you for the bureau's attention to Yun Peng, Yun Peng will definitely do his best to complete every task assigned by the bureau, and live up to the trust of the bureau."
The bureau nodded with satisfaction: "Yunpeng, the area you are going to is a fallen area, you must be more careful!" I'm waiting for your good news. “
Yun Peng nodded.
When the car arrived at the guest house, Ling Yunpeng got out of the car.
"In an hour, a few of you will come to my office, and I will have the shipping information and other necessary stuff ready for you."
"Okay, Bureau, I'll see you in an hour." Ling Yunpeng nodded, and then walked inside.
"Let's go, go back to headquarters." The bureau seat commanded the driver.
The car turned around and headed towards the headquarters of the military command.
Ling Yunpeng returned to the guest house, and then gathered everyone together to explain the task to the brothers.
"Boss, you mean, the bureau asked us to go to the deep mountains and forests to find those American pilots?" Ah Hui scratched his head: "With such a large area, how can a few of us find it?" And it is not known whether they are dead or alive? ”
"If you can find it, you must find it, if you can't find it, you must see people when you live, and you must see corpses when you die, this is an order from above, otherwise the above will not be able to explain to the Americans." Fu Xinghan shrugged.
Ling Yunpeng opened the map, and then pointed to a place circled in red pen: "These pilots have roughly landed in this mountainous area, and there are several villages around here, and those hunters who hunt may encounter these pilots when hunting. ”
Qin Shouyi looked at the map carefully, and the three words Penglai Village jumped into his eyes.
