The 10th greeting from Nanchang
If there is no support from the Air Force, no matter how good the equipment of the Zhuxian Column is, it will only be for the sake of watching the excitement of others!
Han Xing organized a temporary headquarters of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which was attended by Hou Dashan and Liu Zhiyuan. Three personnel of the command sat on the first Y-8-transport aircraft.
The night was quiet, except for the slight sound of the engine, the sound of the moonlight falling on the wings of the plane could almost be heard, and the murmuring of the moonlight floating on the plane could almost be heard. Compared to the fierce battles during the day, it was so quiet that it felt like it was another world.
The Y-8 transport plane silently watched the fertile soil he was waiting for, such a good large piece of land, which no longer belongs to China, and is full of Japanese sun flags. The whole world, as if under the spell of the devil, has completely become a hell on earth full of war, suffering, death, and hunger.
Our aircraft formation is about to break through this dark world to welcome the dawn.
The J-20 fighter is equipped with a radar, which can detect enemy aircraft from a long distance, and as long as an enemy aircraft is found, of course, it can be bypassed early. In this era, the Japanese were not so advanced, so the planes of the Japanese army aviation could only come out during the day, and at night they did not have the ability to fly at night, so they would not come out.
The Nanchang airport was brightly lit, and the lights on the central runway were all on to welcome the aircraft formation from the Liaocheng Zhuxian Column.
Overhead, J-20 fighters were circling for cover, and the first Y-8-transport plane slowly taxied on the central runway of Nanchang Airport, then landed steadily, and then slowly drove towards the tarmac. After driving to the tarmac, Han Xing led the main leaders of the Southern Expeditionary Army around him to step down the ladder on the plane.
Han Xing saw that Xue Yue, an old acquaintance, led a large group of senior officers up, and they didn't have anything to do, followed by a military band and a large group of news reporters.
Before Han Xing and these people could stand firm, the military band played the cheerful "Song of the Four Seasons", "Flowers and Full Moon", "Tianya Singer", etc., and a group of elementary school students ran over with flowers and offered flowers to these southern expeditionary troops of Han Xing.
Han Xing shook his head slightly as he accepted the flowers. Enthusiasm is too enthusiastic, but now that the war is in full swing, and there are dead people on the battlefield all the time, it is a bit out of place to engage in these grand celebrations.
The reporters rushed again. At that time, there were no "long guns", "short guns" were still a lot, and many news reporters took pictures with their cameras, constantly flashing magnesium lights, and it seemed that their glorious image was going to be in the newspapers!
"Not good!" Han Xing screamed in his heart.
The news industry is really a success and a failure. They have indeed played a very positive role in publicizing and reporting positive events and publicizing the ugliness of the enemy. But at the same time, some top-secret military information was also inadvertently exposed. Several uprisings of the Xinhai Revolution were inadvertently revealed by journalists, so that the secret agents of the Qing army could follow the map and make the uprisings fail quickly.
During the first southern expedition, Xue Yue only "single-handedly" came to greet Han Xing outside De'an County, but this time, he brought almost all the top military governors in Nanchang City. It seems that his identity is good!
At the same time, he also explained that the telegram he sent to the military commander had played a role, and it must have been the highest authority of the Nationalist Government that had already informed Xue Yue. Otherwise, Xue Yue would not have brought such a large group of military officials over, and he also recruited all the news reporters.
Xue Yue is striding to lead this large group of senior officers to face him, Han Xing did not dare to slack off, the big official greeted the small official, if he didn't take the initiative again, it would be too unaware of the height of the sky.
Han Xing hurriedly led Hou Dashan, and Liu Zhiyuan walked forward quickly.
Seeing Xue Yue, Han Xing stretched out two hands and shook his hands vigorously: "Commander-in-Chief Luo, hello!" I miss you—"
Xue Yue also said politely: "My Commander Han, you're here, I miss you too-"
This time was not the same as the first time we met outside of De'an County. That time, Xue Yue was arrogant and ignored him, but this time his face was full of sincerity and piety. Xue Yue is a person with a very high state of mind and is never afraid of the top, and there is only one reason why he can have such an attitude towards himself, that is, the outstanding achievements and strong strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army have conquered Xue Yue's psychology.
Xue Yue immediately introduced and said: "This is the commander-in-chief of the front line and the commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, General Luo Zhuoying. ”
Han Xing immediately gave Luo Zhuoying a military salute, and Luo Zhuoying also returned a military salute, taking advantage of this military salute to look at this Luo Zhuoying carefully.
Luo Zhuoying was born on March 19, 1896 in Baihou Town, Dapu County, Guangdong Province.
He entered the village school at the age of seven, graduated from the county government school in 1914, and entered Tai Po Middle School the following year. In 1922, he graduated from the eighth artillery department of the Baoding Army Military Academy. In his early years, he participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and was promoted from a junior officer to the commander of the 11th Division and the commander of the 18th Army of the National Army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led his troops to participate in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Nanchang, and successively served as the commander of the 16th Army Corps, the commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the deputy commander of the Nanjing Garrison, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the Ninth Theater, the deputy commander of the Ninth Theater, and the commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
In terms of appearance, Luo Zhuoying is not special, she is tall and has a pair of gold-wire glasses on her dignified face.
Han Xing shook Luo Zhuoying's hand fiercely, after all, this is also a famous anti-Japanese general.
Xue Yue introduced these military commanders under him one by one, and Han Xing warmly shook hands with them one by one. Han Xing knew what kind of official position he was, at best, he was a deputy division commander, and these officers were much bigger than his official position.
After shaking hands with these senior officers of Xue Yue, Han Xing also introduced his two regiment commanders and said: "This is Hou Dashan, the commander of our mechanized regiment, and Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of our directly subordinate regiment. ”
Out of politeness, Xue Yue also shook hands with Hou Dashan and Liu Zhiyuan.
Chinese etiquette is wordy, and after shaking hands and greeting each other, Han Xing put forward his opinion to Xue Yue, and whispered to Xue Yue: "Commander-in-Chief Xue, can I put forward a few opinions?" ”
Xue Yue's brows furrowed slightly, he had just finished shaking hands, and he hadn't talked about anything serious, so he would give his opinion first, this Han Xing was a little uninteresting. But since Chairman Jiang and Dai Li are so fond of this Han Xing, for the sake of his old man's face, they can only take a step back and say, "Commander Han, what do you have any opinions, just mention it?" ”
Han Xing still whispered: "Can you get rid of all these journalists?" ”
Xue Yue's heart sank when he heard this, he originally wanted to hold a press conference, he originally wanted to give Han Xing and the others a good meal, welcome, and then publish it in the newspaper, so as to put powder on the old man's face. It's a good thing, just drive these little broadcasters away. How can this be?
"Why?" Xue Yue was a little unhappy.
"Is that so?" Han Xing whispered, "The plane brought some equipment, which is absolutely confidential, and you need to unload the truck immediately, and after unloading the car, you have to continue to return to transport." With these news reporters, you can't show anything to you! As soon as the stuffing is revealed, this battle is really impossible to fight! There is also the participation of the Zhuxian Column in this battle, which must not be disclosed in advance, and if it is revealed, it will be troublesome. ”
Xue Yue is not a long-time battle-hardened battleman, and he definitely knows how powerful it is to keep new equipment secret. There is also a report on the participation of the Zhuxian Column, which also requires Han Xing's consent, so he had to say to Han Xing: "Okay, I'll listen to you about this." ”
Xue Yue thought about it, and then said a few words to a staff officer beside him.
This staff officer understood this and said to these reporters: "Gentlemen and ladies of the media, please wait in the auditorium of the airport for a while, and when you get there, our Chief Xue and Commander Han will be interviewed by you. Before you went to the past, because this is a military airport, a military facility refused to take pictures, and please cooperate with our work, and ask our inspector to check to see if your photos are related to the military. ”
This staff officer whispered to some of his officers, these barbaric "inspectors", what else do they check, as long as they are photographed, they will all be exposed, and it doesn't matter what kind of photo you have. Of course, this caused fierce resistance from some reporters, and some even caused physical conflicts, but where can these "prosecutors" control this, it is good that you don't object, if you do, you can't wait to drop the camera.
This is really a show to meet soldiers, and it is unreasonable.
The journalists were then "invited" to the small auditorium.
Han Xing smiled and looked into the distance, not far away, there were several large, warehouse-like factories. He said to Xue Yue: "Commander-in-Chief Xue, we are going to unload the equipment." I have said this in advance, even among these military personnel, we should pay attention to it, and once this matter is leaked out and let the Japanese know, our battle will not be easy to fight. Is there a warehouse at the airport, our equipment is unloaded, and we will drive it directly to the warehouse, so that it is all worry-free. ”
Xue Yue nodded, and then transferred some military personnel who had nothing to do with this matter again, and the entire airport was under martial law. He also called the staff officer to contact the warehouse, and after a while, the warehouse was contacted, and it happened to be empty.
As soon as the rear hatch of the Y-8 transport plane opened, the M2 tank started, emitting a light smoke, rumbling, and slowly drove down towards the outside of the cabin.
Xue Yue's eyes looked directly at the M2 tank at this time, just like Columbus discovered the New World. Luo Zhuoying's eyes were also straight, as if his soul had been hooked away, and he was also looking at these tanks that he had never seen before.
Xue Yue asked Han Xing: "What kind of tank is this, why is it so big, it is much larger than those Japanese bean chariots." ”
Luo Zhuoying also whispered: "I just don't know how the performance is, whether it is faster or slower than the tank cars of small Japan, the artillery, I think it is almost the same, it is a 37 mm main gun." There are a lot of machine guns, or two, why haven't I seen this machine gun? I don't know how the performance is. ”
Luo Zhuoying is not a loser in artillery, and it can be seen at once that the tank is equipped with a 37-mm gun.
Xue Yue also seemed to say to Luo Zhuoying, and also seemed to praise Han Xing: "It must be that these tanks of Commander Han are stronger than the tanks of small Japan in all aspects, if they are not strong, can Commander Han bring them?" ”
The four tanks unloaded from the Y-8-transport aircraft quickly drove to the warehouses at the airfield, and as soon as the warehouse door closed, guards were sent to the door. The Y-8 transport plane was in a hurry to fly back to Liaocheng in order to continue transporting tanks and personnel and equipment.
Han Xing said to Xue Yue again: "Commander-in-Chief Xue, I have one last request, I don't know if you can approve it, right?" ”
