Chapter 25 Crossing the River
Wang Tingyue gives people the feeling that he is always like a warm spring breeze, he is never strict, he is polite to everyone, even if it is the most inconspicuous private, he will take care of it very thoughtfully.
"When I came to Linmeng, I gained more than three pounds than when I was in Kunming. It seems that this Nu River water nourishes people is really true. Wang Tingyue laughed.
Huang Wenlie took a step forward: "Commissioner Wang, Wenlie is very ashamed, the attack plan he made makes people laugh and be generous......"
Wang Tingyue shook his head with a smile: "As the saying goes, only by eating a trench can you grow wise, I have fought for so many years, and I have never had a perfect attack plan." It was to ask the theater command to do this plan, and the result was the same. ”
He comforted Huang Wenlie, turned around and said to me: "Major An, I have read your file, you are a top student of the Army Officer Training Corps founded by Chief Feng, and you have won several merit medals...... It's rare, it's rare. ”
The merit medals I received were available to every student who had graduated, and it was not surprising that they were similar in nature. When the commissioner said this, it seemed like how great it was.
Wang Tingyue: "Regarding the current situation between the enemy and us, what is Major An's opinion?" Don't be afraid to make mistakes, let's just discuss and discuss with our families behind closed doors. ”
I thought for a moment: "From the humble point of view, the intention of the Japanese army is now very clear, they are going to make every effort to hold the Yunnan-Burma road in order to cut off the lifeline of our army. In fact, Commander Huang's idea is very insightful, sending an army deep into their empty rear will inevitably make the Japanese army tired of coping, and then we will launch a frontal attack at the right time to cooperate, I think it will be beneficial to our future counteroffensive. ”
Wang Tingyue nodded again and again: "The staff officers of the military department also think so...... Wen Lie, you should communicate more with young talents like Major An, and it is not advisable to be arbitrary. In fact, the military department is not completely negative about your plan. ”
Huang Wenlie was a little surprised: "Then why did the military department reject my plan?" ”
Wang Tingyue said with a smile: "That's not to knock you, your domineering spirit is about to be restrained, you have already suffered a loss in this regard, do you want to come back a second time?" ”
Wang Tingyue slowly sat down on the stool: "I came this time to convey the instructions of the military department......
Huang Wenlie's spirit was lifted.
Wang Tingyue: "In view of the importance of the new 200 regiment, Wen Lie, as the head of a regiment, you can't act rashly. This time, it was Major An Sihu who led the team on this mission! ”
Huang Wenlie's face was disappointed: "How can you ......?"
Wang Tingyue gestured with his hand: "Wen Lie, don't be impatient, don't be impatient." It's not that you can't accomplish anything without leading a team across the river. You stay on the east bank and wait until the situation on Major An's side stabilizes a little, and then you bring the second echelon over for reinforcements. ”
Huang Wenlie's offensive plan was slightly modified by the military headquarters, and the planes were used to transport the past 100 people in batches, and in order to ensure the safety of the planes, the east coast would open fire on the Japanese troops in advance to attract the enemy's attention.
This is a five-to-five gamble, although there is fire cover, and it is flying in the dark, but in fact, the probability of the plane being hit is also quite large. But Shangfeng will definitely not care about this problem, tens of thousands of people have lost their lives for this war, no one cares about this mere 100 people, even if the plane is unfortunately hit by the Japanese army, it is just an unfinished surprise attack, and it is insignificant to the overall situation.
Over the next few days, our first 100 people had to go through a half-day training in simple parachute maneuvering. I reminded the Qiu Ba that this is a fatal thing, and if you don't want to fall to your death before you see the devil, you must practice carefully and seriously. For the sake of their own lives, Qiu Ba is unusually serious. Perhaps in their minds, jumping from an airplane is far more dangerous than fighting.
Because we were alone, our weapons and equipment were all replaced, such as Thompson submachine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, grenadiers, Czech light machine guns, and so on.
A C-54 transport plane was parked on the simple runway of Linmeng, and we were all flying for the first time, and our initial apprehension had turned into curiosity.
"Such a big guy, so spirited."
"It's only when you don't fall off that you're angry."
"When I go home in the future, I can blow it, we are people who have been on a plane......"
"Some blows have to wait until you can go back alive."
Qiu Ba is like this, if there is one speaker, there must be another speech for you to negate, we are all used to such quarrels and abuse. I believe that all the Qiu Eight are not arguing for the sake of arguing, they are just hiding the panic in their hearts.
The C54, which was authorized to have fifty people, was crammed into one hundred, and with weapons and equipment, the plane was actually seriously overstaffed. The American pilot who flew the plane kept talking to the ground crew, and finally had to spread out his hands to show reluctantly accepting. I think there's only one reason to be able to convince them to accept such a dangerous flight, and that is that the flight is so close that it's almost the time it takes to fall together.
The C54 taxied slowly, and finally the C54 flew into the night sky with a blast as the pilot cursed. From the porthole, we could clearly see that fire cover had begun on the positions on the east bank of the Nu River.
The danger of being shot down proved to be too much to worry about, and the Japanese were too distracted by the sudden opening of fire on the east coast to pay attention to a transport plane flying in the sky. Our worries are the most important part to ignore.
After confirming with the pilot, the accompanying interpreter told me, "Major Ann, we have arrived at the intended location. ”
I took a deep breath and said to the hundred hiundres, "Brothers, you should all read in your hearts how to operate a parachute, and forget to ask others...... Now, we're jumping! ”
Black night, black earth. With the naked eye alone, we can't be sure what's down there, whether it's mountains, water, or something else. The cabin door had opened, and Duan Biao was the first to stand up: "Brothers, don't be afraid. Don't fucking forget to open your parachute! I'll go down and wait for you! ”
Duan Biao jumped forward, his body had already flown out of the cabin, and after a while, a white parachute opened and slowly fell.
Second, third, fourth......
Mao Xiaodou was so frightened that his legs and stomach turned a little, and he looked at me pitifully: "Brother Anzi, this, this is too scary......"
I was angry and funny: "I won't let you come with me, you want to come." It's okay, just jump in and think about opening the parachute. ”
Mao Xiaodou had a bitter face: "But I really don't dare, or I will go back and ......"
The machine gunner named Ma Shun behind him raised his foot and kicked Mao Xiaodou in the ass, while shouting, "Damme Day, don't forget to open the parachute!" ”
I was the last to jump, I can understand Mao Xiaodou's timidity, such a high-altitude jump, you can't do it without great courage, I guess those Qiu Ba were brainwashed by the sentence "As long as you open the parachute, there is nothing". In their hearts, the parachute is like a talisman, a magic weapon to ensure immortality.
