Chapter 307: Night Shadow at the Airport
Myitkyina airport late at night
The U.S. military guarding the airport had built a few wooden huts with rudimentary wooden planks for the soldiers in charge of airport security to shelter from the wind and rain, but there were so many holes in the wooden roof that the soldiers jokingly said that they could bathe in it when it rained. Corporal Buckley was hiding in a wooden house on the north side of the airport to smoke, there is a lot of fuel stored in the airport, and smoking is not allowed in the airport, but Barkley, who is on duty at night, is a little sleepy, and smoking can refresh himself.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Barkley hurriedly stepped on the cigarette butt and shone a flashlight on the place where the sound was made. "Who, who's where?" The light from the flashlight wasn't very far, and Barkley could only faintly see some figures coming from the pilot's quarters at the airport. Barkley's finger moved away from the trigger, since it was from inside the airport, it must have been his own person, maybe a pilot or ground technician who had drunk too much at night or something.
"Captain Catherine, why haven't you slept yet? Isn't your fleet going to Kunming tomorrow? Corporal Buckley, who was guarding the airport, shone his flashlight at the group of people who had already walked up to him, led by a blonde female officer. It's already 4 o'clock, and it will be dawn in just over an hour, and it won't take so early to check the plane, Barkley looked at the large number of people who followed Catherine with some confusion, these people were all members of Catherine's crew.
"There's something wrong with my plane's landing gear, so let them check it now so they don't have a problem when they land," Catherine looked at Barkley with a grin. These airport guards were not their people in the New Plains or Ramgarh, so they had to prepare in advance before dawn, and load them into the cabin as soon as they arrived. The flying team has always had the habit of carrying private goods, and these things are known above, but don't do it too much, and those people above are just pretending not to see it, but the things Catherine transports with these medicines are too valuable, so Catherine will attach great importance to them.
Catherine and her family have been at Myitkyina Airport for a week, and in the first few days, they were occasionally attacked by small Japanese troops or bombed by Japanese planes, and with the increase in the number of planes in Myitkyina Airport, Myitkyina Airport is now impregnable and very safe. It has been more than a month since the battalion entered the mountains and forests, and Catherine has not heard from them until yesterday, and only received a telegram from Zhao Zhi yesterday.
Zhao Zhi's telegram said that a batch of things would be transported to Kunming, Catherine was naturally very willing to help, stained with hairy light, every time she transported something to Kunming, Catherine and the crew members would get a big red envelope, the amount of which had already exceeded their allowance. has cooperated with Zhao Zhi for more than a year, Catherine is already a little rich woman, if you add the share that Maotou deserves, they will live very comfortably after the war, at least they will not worry about money for the rest of their lives.
"Barkley, it's time for a change of guard" While Catherine and Barkley were gossiping, a group of American soldiers came in the distance, who had come to change the guard. "Buckley, this is for you, when I come back from Kunming, let's continue to talk" Catherine took out a bottle of wine from Maotou's pocket and threw it to Barkley, this wine was won by Maotou and Wrench last time from playing cards from the airport guard, and now it is just returned to its original owner, who called Maotou and Wrench don't drink.
Seeing Barkley and several of the guards who had been replaced leave far away, Catherine nodded at the wrench carrying the flashlight, "Send a signal" Three long and two short flashes of flashlight, only a moment later, Catherine and the others stood up in the grass outside the barbed wire fence Hula stood up a large black shadow. "Mike, Mike" Catherine hurriedly pressed the sentry's gun, "It's my own people, it's the person I'm waiting for, put the gun down, put it down" The sentries who came just now had already been bought by Catherine, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen this time to inspect the plane.
The suspicious sentries lowered their rifles, but their fingers were still on the trigger, and the shadows had lurked under their noses and were not discovered, and their curiosity led them to follow Catherine, who they wanted to know who they were. The black shadows were not moving very fast, and it wasn't until Catherine and the others met the black shadows that they realized that these black shadows were more than a dozen guys in expeditionary force uniforms with heavy backpacks, and there were actually a few women among them.
"Uncle, why are you here, give it to me, give it to me" Mao Tou exclaimed as soon as he saw the person walking in front, under the illumination of the flashlight, the leader turned out to be Uncle Guo, and Mao Tou hurriedly went to pick up the backpack on Uncle Guo. Although he didn't know what was in the backpack, looking at Uncle Guo's slow pace, the backpack must not be light. Mao Tou was just about to stretch out his hand, but he was pushed away by the wrench behind him, and the backpack on Uncle Guo's body was also snatched by the wrench and held in his arms, this guy hadn't seen Uncle Guo and Zhao Zhi for a long time, and his round face was full of smiles at this time.
"Little rabbit, I haven't forgotten my old man" Uncle Guo smiled and patted the back of the wrench, gave Maotou a look, turned around and went back to the place where they appeared, and took out 2 backpacks again, one for Maotou and one for himself. "This batch of things is a little hot, the little white face only believes in our own people, this time they are all people who have returned to Kunming with us, tell your people to leave it alone, we will move by ourselves" Seeing that Catherine was about to call the big noses she brought to help, Uncle Guo hurriedly grabbed Catherine. Zhao Zhi's concerns, Uncle Guo understands that with so much gold and jade, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will get rich, and losing things is a trivial matter, if these things affect Catherine and Maotou, Zhao Zhi will regret all his intestines.
Catherine, who understood it, had to watch the man who was missing an arm running back and forth with a backpack, she knew that this was Zhao Zhi's trust in her man, so she couldn't say anything, so she had to take her crew to check the plane for Uncle Guo and they were alerted to the movement in the airport. Each of them carried four trips, and only got the backpacks into the plane, and there were a dozen boxes hidden in the grass outside the barbed wire, which were antiques and Japanese-style ordnance secretly hidden by the rich man.
After a short rest, Uncle Guo and the others carried all the boxes onto the plane in one go, and after sealing all the backpacks into the boxes, Catherine counted carefully, and there were as many as 30 boxes for the good guys. Uncle Guo pulled the hair head and wrench aside and whispered, "These things are very important, from now until they are handed over to the profiteers, you two must watch these boxes to the death, you must be careful on the road, there can be no slightest mistake."
Originally, Uncle Guo's original intention was to separate these things and slowly transport them back to Kunming, but Catherine had already received the news that the flight team would be adjusted, and their crew would fly directly to Chongqing in the future, and Kunming would not be able to go a few times. This sudden situation forced Zhao Zhi to make a desperate attempt to transport these things back to Kunming at one time, perhaps missing this opportunity, and there would be no chance for these things to be shipped out of Myanmar. From the morning, Uncle Guo left the camp with people to move things to the airport little by little, and it was not until night that the things were moved outside the barbed wire fence of the airport.
"Catherine, hello to our aunt and grandmother" and the dog who hugged each other tightly did not forget to say hello to Catherine, since this foreign woman followed Maotou, then she is also a person directly under the battalion, and she has always been extremely friendly to her own people and dogs. Just a few words of greeting, Maotou and the dog and a few of them got aside to talk, almost all of them were people who had returned to Kunming last time, but Zhao Zhi, Lao Pao, Yuan Qingqing and a few other female soldiers were missing. Mao Tou heard about the death of those female soldiers in Lajasu, but the old cannon did not come, which was beyond his expectations.
"The old cannon is injured, but it's not serious, the commander is watching him in the camp, it's fine to rest for half a month, and he didn't hurt his bones" Zhao Yan, who was tired and panting, took off her steel helmet and sat down with the female soldiers to rest. There are only 7 of the dozen or so female soldiers who followed Zhao Zhi at the beginning, and Yuan Qingqing did not come, and Cao Yan did not come to take care of Yan Shijun, who was sick, and only 5 female soldiers led by Zhao Yan came to the airport.
The goats and machetes who don't like to be lively are far away in the shadows of the plane, carefully watching the surroundings, Zhao Zhi has made a lot of money this time, and sent all the doglegs out, and only Zhao Zhi, Lao Pao, Edward and Roger are left in the camp. When leaving the village, Zhao Zhi ordered all the Burmese to be driven into the cave, and sealed the cave with explosives buried by long hair, and whether they could survive or not depended on their creation. 30 Japanese prisoners, including Kojima, were escorted on the road, and these prisoners were not captured for nothing, they were Zhao Zhi's free labor, and they were also the excuse and pretext for Zhao Zhi to transfer the remaining reinforcements at the last moment.
According to Kojima, after nine days of walking with his troops in the forest, he finally came to the place where he had buried his belongings, which was only 10 miles away from the nearest expeditionary force defense area, and only 30 miles from the Myitkyina airport. Just when he was camping at night, Zhao Zhi directed a scene in which the prisoners escaped, and after he quietly hid half of the prisoners in the officer's tent, he released the other half of the prisoners in the camp. The panicked reinforcements were still able to count the number of prisoners, but after a burst of strafing, the prisoners lay on the ground in a wail.
After dawn, Zhao Zhi pretended to reprimand the steamed buns who guarded the prisoners at night, and ordered the reinforcements to take the remaining half of the "captured" prisoners to go first, while he himself and the officers took the wounded to rest in the back for two days before leaving. Kane, who has been suffering from no alcohol, was assigned as the commander of this group of reinforcements, and after he took the reinforcements and prisoners in a big circle in the mountains and forests, he returned to the defense area of the expeditionary force and waited for Zhao Zhi and them, and Zhao Zhi and them quietly took the island to complete the treasure digging operation after Kane set off.
Xiao Dao, who tried to buy back his life with money, did not return to his country in the end, he was thrown directly into the dirt pit by the dog and buried alive, Zhao Zhi promised not to kill him, but that was only limited to himself, and it was not Zhao Zhi's business for others to kill Xiao Dao. The treasure digging operation went smoothly, and the things dug out made Zhao Zhi and them ecstatic, and the rich man carefully estimated that if the jade obtained in the village could buy a car, then these newly dug up things could at least buy a car factory, just relying on these things, the doglegs would live like a rich man for the rest of their lives.
After digging out the things, Zhao Zhi and they did not stop for a moment, Zhao Zhi stayed behind and took the wounded to slow down, and Uncle Guo took people to transport the box to the edge of a mountain beam only 2 miles away from the airport, and the process of transporting the box was only possible for those who had returned to Kunming to participate, and Zhao Zhi couldn't believe it at all. Fortunately, when the battalion left the village, they took all the cattle away, plus their original mules and horses, and it was not very difficult to carry these boxes. When the direct battalion is in Xinpingyang or Leduo, there is always some inexplicable moving in and out of some boxes, and when it comes to paying, the people in the direct battalion will always take a lot more money than other troops, so no one thinks the strange things in the barracks are strange. This time, Uncle Guo and they carried the box, and the other people thought it was the same as before, and no one thought about what was in the box at all.
After Uncle Guo and the others moved all these things into the cabin, the sky was about to dawn, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to Catherine and them, Uncle Guo took people back to the back of the mountain to hide and rest, and they did not leave immediately. Although he has been cooperating with Catherine's crew for more than a year, and those things have hairy heads and wrenches to watch, Uncle Guo should be very relieved, and the profiteers in Kunming will pay Catherine a gratuity when they receive the goods, so as long as these things are on the plane, they should be safe. But these things are so valuable that Uncle Guo can only be truly relieved to see Catherine's transport plane take off after dawn.
As the sun rises, the airport begins to get busy, and the ground crew, pilots, and soldiers are busy back and forth on the airport, but Uncle Guo's eyes have been falling on the transport plane with a big dog painted on the wings, which is Catherine's landline, and it is also a plane full of the hopes of the dogs. At 7 o'clock, after Uncle Guo and they lay in the grass for 2 hours, Catherine's transport plane took off on time, and there was no surprise inspection or any temporary cancellation of flights at the airport. ~
