Chapter 327: Arrival

Chapter 327 Arrived

The US aircraft carrier fleet can already crisscross the Pacific Ocean without the slightest obstruction. 【Reading Network】Small ^ Say ^ Ad-free ~~ Net Japan's only remaining navy can only retreat to the mainland, and it will also face the pressure of the increasingly powerful navy and air force of the US military. Even under such circumstances, this small aircraft carrier fleet continued to exclude submarines and warships from reconnaissance in front. Approaching the Yellow Sea of China, the plane again took off with the brothers of the assault company. This time their destination was Yantai, China.

While the plane was still in the air, Parks was already in the air. I thought about coming back to take a look, at least before the liberation, thinking that in the years after the liberation, the confrontation between China and the United States, it was impossible for him to come back. Now this idea has been realized before the war is over, but there are many emotions in my heart. What will China look like at this time?

"Are you nervous? Captain Lacey" Captain Wales sat next to Parks, he looked at Parkes's somewhat nervous face, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "I've never seen you look like this, what?" Does coming to China make you feel like this? ”

"No, no, Harry. I just never thought I'd come to China in such a way. You know, I have a special feeling about China. I learned a lot of magical Chinese things, and I taught them to my brothers during training, and I strengthened their physique. I was curious about the country. Parks paused, then smiled at the Welsh Captain. But he did not tell Wales that for a wandering soul, homesickness was what he really thought now.

The plane gradually entered China's airspace, and from the plane you could see the sea below, as well as the nearby buildings. The plane, guided by the radar at Liuting Airport, had already begun to descend in altitude. And the view from outside the cabin is also clearer. The houses of Chinese-style architecture, the low-rise shantytowns, and the pedestrians in the urban area of Yantai can already be seen. But the plane could only pass over it and then flew into the Liuting airfield.

The plane made a circle over the airfield and then began to land. When the plane slowly stopped and the cabin door opened, Parks stepped out of the spiral staircase and saw that the entire airport had been placed under martial law. A team of squadrons was arranged around the airport, with three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

Several rough men in Kuomintang uniforms stood near the airport, behind them the equivalent of a platoon of men with rifles on guard. As Parks walked down, the man in the middle quickened his pace and hurried towards him.

"You must be Major Parkes, welcome to you," the Kuomintang soldier, who could not tell the rank, walked over and held out his hand to Parks. It's Chinese, authentic Chinese, and although it sounds a little difficult with a slight accent from Liuyang, Hunan, it definitely sounds intimate. And the one who followed closely behind was dressed in a gray military uniform and a military hat. The girl with her ears was short and quickly translated this sentence into English.

Parks smiled at the girl and said, "You don't need a translator, I can understand Chinese" He said this sentence in the standard Beijing dialect, which didn't sound as awkward as the average foreigner who knows China, and it was very smooth.

"Who are you?" Parks continued to speak suspiciously in Chinese to the soldier who had shaken his hand. Obviously, now it seems that this middle-aged man is not what he imagined, if he didn't guess wrong, the other party must be the representative of the Eighth Route Army. And General Weisman did not give himself a description of which army the squadron would be. For him, the squadron should include the Communist Army.

"Haha, it's rare to meet an American who speaks Chinese so well." The middle-aged man laughed heartily, and then said very sincerely to Major Parkes, "We are from the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army of the Chinese ** Army, I am Li Zmin, the political commissar of the Military Region, and our commander, General Yang Cwu, sent me to welcome your arrival. ”

At this time, the Welsh captain also came to Parks's side, looking at each other curiously. It's just that he didn't expect Parks to be able to speak Chinese fluently.

"General Yang Cwu?" Parks was shocked, the deeds of this general are familiar to many ordinary people in China, the old Red Army soldiers, forcibly crossed the Wujiang River, flew to capture the Luding Bridge, the Battle of Qingfengdian, the Battle of Shijiazhuang, the attack on Taiyuan, the counterinsurgency in Tibet, participated in the Korean War, etc., what Parks did not expect was that it was the Eighth Route Army that occupied Liuting Airport, and it was also this famous meritorious general.

"General Li, I'm very happy to be able to cooperate with you," Parks was slightly suspicious, "but why not the Kuomintang army?" "That's what he wants to figure out. You must know that the airport is a military powerhouse, if there is no prevention and control artillery fire, no long-range radar, and no heavy guards, then the airport is a very dangerous place, but now it seems that at least in Parks' memory, the current Eighth Route Army is far from having such strong firepower, let alone prevention and control artillery fire and radar.

Obviously, General Li didn't expect Parks to say his thoughts so directly, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "I didn't expect it, right?" The Kuomintang troops did not have the courage to attack here, so the task fell on our heads. We are also the Chinese army, it makes no difference, and we are the best at fighting devils, better than them"

Parks smiled slightly, he knew what General Lee meant by them, he nodded and said, "Yes, I know." However, General Li, I would like to say bluntly that if the airport is not guarded by a large number of soldiers and there are no air defense radars and air defense weapons, I think we will have a very difficult time in carrying out our mission in the future, because such an airport cannot be defended and will be blown up by the Japanese at any time."

"Rest assured, we'll take care of that. Now let's go and see the camp that our Eighth Route Army has arranged for you. Saying that, General Li waved his hand and walked to the front, he really didn't want to dwell on this issue. Because the domestic strife and dealings are not clear to this major of the American army. At least that's what he thinks.

Parks couldn't help but smile slightly, and then motioned to Wales, "Gather the brothers, and we will follow General Lee to the camp." ”

Wales nodded, then looked at Parks strangely, then shook his head and smiled, "Lacey, I don't know how much more surprise you have to give me." I didn't expect you to be able to speak Chinese. It's so smooth. That soldier doesn't have any obstacles to communicating with you. By the way, Lacey, what is his military rank? Why don't they have a rank on their uniforms? God, what kind of army is this? Is this the case with the squadrons? ”

Parks couldn't help but smile wryly, "There's no way I can tell you, Harry. Let's bring the brothers here," he said, glancing at General Li, who was walking in front, but the female translator who was now following General Li turned her head and glared at him, with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes. Obviously, she had heard what Welsh had just said.

"Marachi, I didn't expect us to come to China" Kaber walked in the line and said to Marachi beside him, "Are we going to help the Chinese fight the Japanese?" Why don't we just go to the Pacific and join the Marines? ”

"Why do you have to be with the Marines?" Malaki glanced at him, then shook his head and smiled, "I don't want to be with those fellows from the Marine Corps, each of them is pretentious. Dirty and uninteresting. That's my opinion. Here, we will be liberators, and we should be respected by them, knowing that we are here to help them. ”

"I hope so, too. Of course, it's better to have rum or whiskey or something. The beer is not bad, either" Kber nodded, then muttered.

"Don't expect that. Didn't you hear the boss, it's impossible. We won't have rum or whiskey, or even beer. Chinese like to drink a liquor they brew themselves, a liquid as clear as water. I haven't seen it, maybe the boss has drunk it. I hope it tastes good," Malaki scoffed at Kaber's words.

But no matter what, when they saw the barracks, they still felt satisfied. A row of neat barracks made of stone bricks, the outside of which is painted in uniform white. And there is also a square pattern painted on the white sè wall. Yes, in the eyes of the US military, those are square patterns. But Parks knew that it was Chinese characters, and it read: Long live the great international friendship between China and the United States. Typical Chinese propaganda slogans.

General Lee welcomed Parks into a well-decorated barracks and said with a smile, "If you think you can, this can be used as your command post." The conditions are very simple, so you will be left to it. And-" He pointed to the girl beside him and said, "This is the interpreter of our headquarters, Second Lieutenant Wang Qiuying, she will live with our troops stationed at the airport, in the barracks not far away, if you have anything in your life, you can communicate with her, and we will try to satisfy you." I think there will always be some troubles due to the differences between Eastern and Western cultures and living habits."

Parks nodded and said, "Thank you very much, General Lee." Then he glanced at the girl, who had no expression on her face, but her eyes touched Parks, as if she didn't want to communicate with him much.

After saying a few more words, General Li was about to take his leave, he walked to the door of the barracks and suddenly stopped, turned to Parks, and said, "Mr. Major, your people will come over this afternoon, and they will explain the specific matters." He nodded politely, and went out, and the girl went out with him.

"Well, I can't even interject" Captain Wales watched General Lee and the others go out, he shrugged his shoulders towards Parks and said, "Well, what did he say to you?" We'll have beer or whiskey, right? ”

"Don't even think about it, Harry," Parks shook his head and laughed, "our men will come here in the afternoon and give us an assignment. Harry, we're going to get ready to fight the Japanese."

"That's it," Wales shrugged his shoulders and walked over to the table, where there was a white porcelain kettle, and a white porcelain cup. He took it in his hand, exclaimed, and poured a glass of water.

In the afternoon, a U.S. Jeep stopped outside the company's barracks, and two officers, a major and a colonel, stepped down from it. They walked straight towards Parks' company headquarters.
