The first batch of supplies was carried by three transport planes of the US 14 Air Force.

Old Mantou and Fang Min watched as the plane slowly disappeared.

"Sir, I didn't expect Chennault to be so talkative." Fang Min said.

"But don't you think the old boy's offer is too much?" The old steamed bun smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, this kind of thing, we can protect the media to pull the line, but if it doesn't work out, let's talk about it, and we don't know when we will go back to Chongqing." Fang Min said.

"That being said, if that day really comes, the trouble is still the division commander, okay, don't talk about it, I'll go back to the base immediately to report the situation to the division commander, you send a telegram, notify Yunnan, and ask our sword to pay close attention to Miss Kong Er and this batch of goods, this is the first batch, everything is difficult at the beginning, with the first time, the following things will be easy to do." Old steamed bun said.

"Yes." Fang Min said.

At this time, a passenger plane carrying Miss Kong Er and others flew into the sky.

"Finally invited this great god away." Fang Min looked at the passenger plane in the distance.

"Well, this time without this god to take the lead, this business is really not easy to run, the division commander said that we don't have to make this money, but the country needs supplies too much." The old steamed bun replied.

The old steamed bun looked down at Fang Min next to him and said, "I won't go to the office, I'll leave directly, I've worked hard for you here." ”

Fang Min nodded, saluted the old steamed bun, and watched the old steamed bun and the others leave.

In the headquarters of the base, Chen Fei was looking at the big sand table in front of him, holding a few small flags in his hands, ready to mark the route of the oil pipeline.

The US engineering unit and the 1st and 2nd regiments led by Zhu Guowen have been out for several days, and the progress is not large, which was also originally discussed.

"Report!" Zhu San came in with Shang Li and shouted.

Chen Fei raised his head and smiled: "I have a lot of energy today, why are you so happy?" ”

"The chief of staff called, the matter was done, and the second lady left." Shang Li said.

"Oh, it went so well." Chen Fei said.

Zhu San smiled and said: "The chief of staff is out of the horse, one is the top two, and he called to say that he is on his way back." ”

"I guess the old steamed bun doesn't know what ecstasy soup Chennault has poured into him, so when he arrives, let him talk about it in detail." Chen Fei said with a smile.

Zhu San and Shang Li both smiled slightly.

Chen Fei sat down, took out a cigarette, handed it to Zhu San, and the two lit it at the same time.

"Is there anything else you two are doing here?" Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, Li Shiqun is dead, he was poisoned with a beef patty by Okamura Shaosa, the chief of the special section of the Central China Military Police Command of the devil." Shang Li said.

"Oh······" Chen Fei said.

"I heard that Li Shiqun was also prepared, but the Japanese still went hard-headed because of the treat, and in the end he was poisoned." Zhu Sandao.

"Dead soon? How do the Japanese explain? Chen Fei was puzzled.

"The one who died two days later was amoebic poison, which is a bacterium cultivated in rat feces, as long as a person eats this bacteria, he can multiply in the human body at a rate of 11 times per minute, and it will suddenly erupt, vomiting and diarrhea, and the corpse will shrink to the size of a monkey after death, and this poison is only available to devils." Zhu Sandao.

"This kind of person should have died a long time ago." Shang Li gritted her teeth.

"Traitors will always be killed, how to die, when to die, the impact after death, etc., will affect the process of the Anti-Japanese War, this time Li Shiqun's incident has sounded the alarm for a large number of traitors, we must make good use of it, inform our agents in various places, intelligence teams, assassination, infiltration, expand the scale, don't waste such a good opportunity." Chen Fei said.

Zhu San nodded and said, "When the chief of staff arrives, I will arrange the arrangement immediately." ”

Chen Fei took a puff of cigarette and said, "Shang Li, you go back first, and I'll talk to Deputy Director Zhu a few more words." ”

"Yes." Shang Li replied and left immediately.

"Why can't you work without old steamed buns, what's the current situation of your shadow team?" Chen Fei said.

Zhu San scratched his scalp and said: "The shadow team now has a total of 173 people, all of whom are hidden in various industries, including soldiers, doctors, ordinary citizens, including 33 Japanese, I divided these 173 people into three groups, the lark team leader Nanko Yamaguchi, the cuckoo team leader Nanping, the leader of the albatross team Jingming Road, the Shanghai group, and the Chongqing group, among which the albatross team is scattered all over the country, and it is too difficult for the personnel to expand." ”

"Well, it's not easy for you to bring such a force in the past few years, I'm going to hand over the intelligence department to you in the future, there are too many things about the old steamed bun, I want to ask if you can provoke the big beam?" Chen Fei said.

"Huh?" Zhu San lost his voice.

"There's nothing surprising to be surprised about, in this troubled world, we have to use all kinds of means to protect ourselves, so we need too much information, it's a matter of time before we beat the little devils, and we still need your information on how to go next." Chen Fei said.

Zhu San nodded.

Chen Fei and Zhu San had a conversation, the two chatted until the afternoon, to Chen Fei's surprise, after several years of fighting in the independent division, Zhu San, who was originally as calm as water, is now also full of passion, after all, people with ability always want to give full play to their skills, otherwise how to reflect the value of their years of hard work.

"Report!" Liu Xiaomei came in and said.

"What's the matter?" Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, the commander of the new 38th Division, Sun Division, sent an urgent telegram, the troops were blocked by the devils and were seriously wounded, the 38th Division was divided, of which the 112th Regiment was surrounded by devils, and asked for reinforcements from the independent division." Liu Xiaomei said.

"How so?" Chen Fei got up and exclaimed.

"The details are not clear, this is an urgent telegram from Division Commander Sun, and at the same time, the urgent telegram was reported to the Military Commission and the Expeditionary Force Headquarters." Liu Xiaomei said.

Chen Fei took the telegram, and immediately said: "I don't understand this battle, why is the US army so light on the enemy, send a report to Chief Chen Cheng, our division is ready to support at any time." ”

"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied.

Zhu San saw that Chen Fei's face was serious, and he didn't understand combat command, so he immediately said, "Division commander, I'll go back first." ”

Chen Fei nodded, and shouted at the same time: "Wang Liang, call Tang Bing over." ”

Outside the door, Wang Liang replied loudly: "Yes." ”

Before Tang Bing arrived, Liu Xiaomei came in again and said: "Division commander, the headquarters of the expeditionary force sent an urgent telegram, and they just arrived, and they didn't let us support, saying that the U.S. military did not agree, and they thought that there could be no large number of devils in the Hukang River valley area." ”

"What, it's all in this situation, and no reinforcements will be allowed." Chen Fei exclaimed.

"Report!" Another communications correspondent came in.

"Say!" Chen Fei said.

"The command called, and Stilwell, chief of staff of the US Expeditionary Force, took a plane to inspect the Hukang Valley area before making plans." The correspondent said.

"Damn, Master Sun saved these foreigners for nothing last year." Chen Fei scolded, waving his hand at the same time, Liu Xiaomei left with the warrior.

After a while, Tang Bing came in.

"Commander, what's going on?" Tang Bing said.

"The 38th Division is not fighting well in the front, with heavy casualties, it is estimated that reinforcements will be sent soon, you prepare and bring the second brigade to support." Chen Fei said.

"Huh? Yes, I'll go and prepare right away. Tang Bing immediately said.

"Well, with artillery battalions." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Tang Bing replied and turned to make arrangements.

Chen Fei thought to himself, the Mai detachment had been reconnoitring for so long and had sent back hundreds of pieces of information about the devils in the Hukang River Valley, why didn't the Allied Command pay attention to it at all. We can escape death in Savage Mountain, and the devil can't arrange a large army in Savage Mountain, it's really nonsense.

Time passed minute by minute, Chen Fei was anxious, all the expeditionary forces were abroad, but they couldn't be like some warlords in China who would die in order to preserve their strength, but what they lost was China's national defense strength.

"Division commander, the troops have been assembled." Tang Bing came in and said.

"Well,, the U.S. military won't let us support, wait." Chen Fei said.

"Ah,! So what to do? The 38th Division issued a call for help, it must be 100,000 urgent, division commander, we can't listen to the Yankees, or I will lead the troops to take the first step, you ask the headquarters, and Chief Chen Cheng will definitely agree. Tang Bing said anxiously.

Chen Fei shook his head and said: "Americans are not stupid, since Stilwell personally flew to see the battlefield, it will be a result soon." ”

"Division Commander ······" Tang Bing was a little anxious.

"I'd love to help, but I have to follow orders." Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, if the command disagrees, I will bring the troops back." Tang Bing said.

Chen Fei glanced at Tang Bing and said, "It's all colonels and brigade commanders, why are they still so uncomposed, such a long road, it's not a little bit of time." ”

"Yes." Tang Bing replied loudly, as if he couldn't let out a breath in his heart.

An hour later, the Independent Division received an order, and Chen Fei's division did not move, but let a regiment of the 22nd Division guarding the Sino-Indian highway go to reinforce it.

"How so, is one regiment enough?" Tang Bing looked at the telegram handed over by Liu Xiaomei.

"Obviously, the 22nd Division is closer to the 38th Division, and our division can't save the fire from far water, so it makes sense for Stilwell to let the 22nd Division dispatch." Chen Fei said.

"That'······ Shall we do nothing? Tang Bing said.

"Xiaomei, send a report to Senior Commander Sun, if you can, our division will secretly reinforce a regiment." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Xiaomei replied and went to send the report immediately.

"You are going to bring a regiment at a moment, but draw a battalion from each regiment and bring more ammunition and medicine." Chen Fei said to Tang Bing.

"Yes, the artillery battalion ······" Tang Bing said.

"The artillery battalion will not go, the artillery battalion will affect the speed of the troops' march, but you can bring more mortars." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Tang Bing replied.

In the evening, Tang Bing led two thousand soldiers to set off, and Chen Fei sent Tang Bing out of the base.

"You are also a real knife and a real gun, I won't nag anymore, after relieving the siege of the 38th Division, come back quickly." Chen Fei stared at Tang Bingdao.

Tang Bing didn't reply, and saluted Chen Fei seriously, with a serious face. Chen Fei returned the salute, Tang Bing waved his hand and led the troops forward, and several regiment commanders of the Second Brigade saluted Tang Bing one after another, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

For several days, Chen Fei paid close attention to the battle situation in the Hukang River Valley, and because the US military command realized the wrong judgment of the deployment of devil forces in the Hukang River Valley area in the early stage, it immediately made adjustments, and all kinds of heavy artillery, tanks, and a large number of troops supported them to the Hukang River Valley area one after another.

Chen Fei Command

"How long can the little devil last?" The old steamed bun looked at Chen Feidao.

"I don't know, the US military reinforcements are coming, and the devils are the same, I hope it won't be a protracted war." Chen Fei said.

"Yes, it will be the 33rd year of the Republic of China in a few days, although the weapons and equipment have gone up, but the little devil is still so difficult to fight." Old steamed bun said.

"Just grit your teeth and victory will come." Chen Fei said.

"Report!" Liu Xiaomei came in and said.

"Oh, Xiaomei, what's the news?" Chen Fei said.

"The headquarters of the expeditionary force has called, and it has just been found out that it is the 18th Division and the 114th, 55th, and 56th Wings of the Devils who are fighting against us in the Hukang River Valley area, with a total of 32,000 troops." Liu Xiaomei said.

When Chen Fei heard this, he thought for a while and said: "I have met an old opponent again, and this time the intelligence is very accurate, but a division and regiment not only has three wings, but also artillery, engineers, baggage troops and other directly subordinate troops, and these 32,000 people should have been replenished."

"We have the 38th Division, the 22nd Division, the British Army, and the American Army, adding up to nearly 40,000 people, and this battle can be fought." Old steamed bun said.

"Your chief of staff is still too tender, the devil is defense after all, and the offense is always greater than the defensive casualties." Chen Fei said.

The old steamed bun nodded.

"By the way, I heard that the 22nd Division has a lot of tanks." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Oh? Is it? How do you know? Chen Fei asked.

"A few days ago, a few soldiers from our communications department went to lay the oil pipeline to carry out a mission, but they didn't see it with their own eyes." Liu Xiaomei said.

"If there are tanks coming up, then this battle will be much easier." Chen Fei said a little excitedly.

"Can you drive a tank on the road here?" Old steamed bun said.

"Now that it has appeared, there is always a way, it's not for you and me to worry about, it seems that the opening of the Hukang River Valley area is also a matter of the past few days." Chen Fei said.

"Report!" A soldier from the communications office came in.

"Say." Chen Fei said.

"The headquarters telegraphed, the 38th Division occupied the position of the Japanese army in Yubang and killed more than 1,000 people under the commander of the 55th Wing, Kogoro Fujii." The warrior shouted.

Chen Fei and Lao Mantou were stunned.

"Wasn't the war critical the other day? Why is the situation so good? "The old steamed bun is strangely authentic.

Liu Xiaomei looked at the soldiers, and then at Chen Fei, how could he, the chief of the communications department, know about this kind of thing on the battlefield.

"Let's go down." Chen Feidao, Liu Xiaomei took the soldiers away.

"The situation on the battlefield was volatile, but the good news was heard." Chen Fei said again.

"Do you want to contact Tang Bing and ask him to report the details?" Old steamed bun said.

Chen Fei shook his hand, he thought, Tang Bing would definitely report the battle situation, there was no need to rush him, he would have to have his own ideas outside.
