Chapter 36: Let Go 1

That night, Lin Jun came to the nearby artillery battalion station alone and found Xie Weijin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As soon as he arrived at Xie Weijin's office and dormitory, and when he saw that he was the only one, Lin Jun said straightforwardly: "Old Xie, I have something to ask you to help with." ā€

Lin Jun's old thank you made Xie Weijin stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved, "Comrade Andre, if you have anything, you can say it, we are both comrades and brothers, as long as I can help, I will never refuse." To be honest, the title of "Lao Xie" by the Soviet guy in front of him made him feel extremely cordial, although this Andrei's Chinese sounded so awkward.

It's been a long time since anyone has called themselves such a cordial and standard comrade name, and the last time was when I was at home. During the period in the Soviet Union and Spain, other Chinese comrades also called themselves Comrade Xie Weijin, which still sounds like the old Xie Shun's ears!

"Come, sit down and talk, don't worry." Xie Weijin took a chair for Lin Jun, and then ran to his bedside to get a small iron can, "Last time you came, you were happy and forgot to entertain, I still have some tea brought from China, you can taste it." ā€

Lin Jun didn't interrupt Xie Wei's action of making tea, but just watched Xie Wei's action of pouring the iron can, and watched him pour the can upside down, just enough to make a cup. "Alas, he is reluctant to drink!"

Lin Jun looked at the steaming glass in his hand, and there were more than 20 tea leaves floating in the water, like green elves.

"Comrade Andrey, if you taste it, you don't know if it suits your taste, this is not the same thing as drinking vodka."

Lin Jun took the cup in his hand and smelled the faint fragrance of tea wafting out, closed his eyes and took a sip gently, feeling like a strange and long-lost familiar feeling.

"The best Ming Qian Longjing, it's a pity that it was last year. Thank you, old Xie, what you are reluctant to drink is cheaper for me. ā€

Xie Weijin's jaw of surprise was about to drop, this was given by a friend when he returned to China last year, and he was reluctant to drink the last point, originally wanted to make a thought, because he didn't know if he could return to China alive. This time, it was the painful cutting of love to let this Soviet comrade who has special feelings for China try it, but I didn't expect him to know it so clearly, and the action of drinking tea is so standard.

"Incredible, incredible! Comrade Andrey, you are the first European I have met to understand the authentic Chinese tea culture! It's incredible! How do you know? Xie Weijin was so surprised.

"Hehe, my neighbor taught me when I was young, but please keep it secret, I don't want anyone else to know that I know so much." Lin Jun was a little embarrassed, there was no way, he could only say this, he couldn't say: My fourth cousin is the largest high-end Longjing wholesaler in the entire Jiangnan!

"Oh, I see, it's amazing. Don't worry, I know it! You treat me Xie Weijin as a friend and brother, I know what to do. ā€

"Actually, after joining the army, no one knew that I could speak Chinese." Lin Jun simply wanted to solve the big problem of knowing Chinese once and for all.

Xie Weijin never thought that Andre in front of him was a bad guy or a hostile element, because from his loyalty to communism and the care and affection he showed every time he talked about China, Xie Weijin would never suspect that he was a person with a special background in espionage missions or something. Xie Weijin also has many years of experience in underground work and struggle, and when this Andre first met himself as a Chinese, he showed that kind of family affection beyond the ordinary, yes, it was the affection of seeing his family! He must have a very deep connection with China.

After sending Lin Jun away that day, Xie Weijin told Wang Gang very seriously that he must not tell anyone that Andre understands Chinese! Wang Gang has been by Xie Weijin's side for a while, and he knows that there are some things that should not be asked, and some things that cannot be said. Xie Weijin's answer to himself and Wang Gang was: Maybe the father or mother of this brave Soviet officer is Chinese, and Andrei doesn't have black hair, although his eyes are blue, this is the best answer Xie Weijin found for himself.

"Maybe it's a relationship by birth, he can't let others know that he has dragon blood." This was Xie Weijin's final answer, and every time Andre spoke of China, the tone and feelings that were like talking about his own relatives made him confirm this judgment, "Alas, poor boy! ā€

"Don't worry, Andre, if anyone knows that you can speak Chinese in the future, just say that you learned it from me. Wang Gang's side, I'll remind him that I can't tell anyone about your knowledge of Chinese. ā€

"Thank you, old Xie!" Lin Jun didn't explain much, and it was troublesome to explain more.

"By the way, Andre, what do you want me to help with today?"

Lin Jun told him about the discussion with a few other people in the afternoon, hoping that if the ground crew could not evacuate, they could temporarily join Xie Weijin's artillery unit to defend Madrid.

"Of course, comrades from the Soviet Air Force are welcome to us, you can rest assured. If that happens, I'd welcome it! Xie Weijin thought it was something, Lin Jun asked him to help with this favor, and he was very happy. You must know that artillery units are generally not at the forefront, relatively safe, and their own troops lack technical personnel and equipment, and the air force comrades can temporarily come to their own help when the time comes, Xie Weijin is very happy, they are all skilled technicians, although the aircraft and artillery are different, but the machinery is the same, multiple people have more strength.

Lin Jun also wanted to make the ground crew safer before asking Xie Weijin for help, you must know that they are the best technicians, but they are not suitable for charging into battle like infantry. That's why I found this artillery battalion commander, and I also think he is reliable, "I still have to be reliable!" ā€

After the two of them discussed their views on the current battle situation for a while, Lin Jun said goodbye and returned to the airport. He didn't know that just after he left, Xie Weijin found Wang Gang in his office.

"Wang Gang, if someone asks Comrade Andre about knowing Chinese in the future, you must say that I taught him."

"Yes, battalion commander, just shoot me, I say the same!" Wang Gang also knows why.

"Andrei is not easy, we rarely have a Soviet comrade who has special feelings for China, and it is reported that he is still a person favored by the Soviet high-level, you and I must protect him, this is a contribution to our party and country, and maybe he will be helpful to our cause. Even if we die, we will also take this secret to the earth! ā€

Wang Gang and Xie Weijin thought the same way, if someone said that Andre had Chinese ancestry, Andre would be ruined, which would be harmful to the party and the country. The harshness of the real struggle is like this, they know it all too well.

Lin Jun, who returned to the dormitory, saw Kobets waiting for him.

"Captain, this is the latest enemy briefing just sent by the Spanish Army comrades." Kobets pulled out a document.

"Oh, let's take a look and study it."

Lin Jun found the map and marked a few circles on the map according to the situation on the report." Tomorrow we will go and greet them, you go and arrange, tomorrow eight planes will be dispatched, half of them will be used for the I-16, all of which will carry bombs, and the other four will be the I-15. Lin Jun pointed to a rebel material build-up 250 kilometers southwest of the map.

"Also, tomorrow I will lead the team and attack at dawn."

"Yes, Comrade Captain. Let me be your wingman tomorrow. ā€

"No, it's still the old rules, you look after the house. Andlupuf is still recuperating from his injuries, and the troops will be under your command when I am away, so I can rest assured that you are in this position! Let Sergey be my wingman. ā€

"Yes, Comrade Captain." Kobets also knew that Lin Jun valued him so he stayed at home.

The next day, it was still dawn, and the Madrid airport was already busy, making final preparations for the sortie plan decided by Lin Jun. At the regular meeting before departure, Lin Jun told the pilots who were about to attack: This mission is to destroy the enemy's logistics and materials, and not to fall too far into war. The four I-16s loaded with bombs carried out dive bombing, and the other four I-15s took cover at high altitudes to prevent a sneak attack by enemy aircraft.

"Comrades, we have to make the momentum as loud as possible, do you understand the task?"

"Understood."

"Alright, let's go!"

Lin Jun deliberately arranged to take off at this time, just to deliver the bomb gift at the moment when the opponent was having breakfast.

Half an hour after takeoff, Lin Jun in the air had already seen the smoke rising from the rebel positions in front. Ignoring the scattered anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground, he rushed straight to the predetermined material assembly area.

It was a medium-sized military supply yard with fuel and ammunition, as well as German-made Henschel 33 3-ton trucks. In order to protect this important material staging area, a German company of Type 18 88mm anti-aircraft guns was stationed.

Lin Jun, who had just entered the 3,500-meter attack altitude, was about to command the whole formation to enter the attack, when suddenly clouds of black smoke exploded around the formation.

"Damn, it's a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun! The I-15 reduced altitude and retreated, and the bombing formation dived! Leave after the bombing, go from a low altitude! Fast! ā€

Lin Jun pushed the control stick and controlled the plane at a 70-degree dive angle, the speed of the plane increased sharply, and the earth was like a wall heading towards him.

"Unlucky, how can there be a large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery!" Staring at the mountains of materials piled up in front of him, Lin Jun gritted his teeth and thought. The intense stimulation of his senses, the hissing of the wind, made him throw aside the threat of the anti-aircraft artillery, and only thought about killing the miscellaneous pieces below.

At 500 meters, press the bomb button hard, pull the joystick, and increase the throttle to the maximum. The plane slowly raised its head, and a black 200-kilogram bomb fell on the target.

Lin Jun did not choose to climb, but ran at a low altitude and high speed after leveling, and the other planes also followed closely behind him after dropping bombs, not wanting to become a target for anti-aircraft artillery.

Left behind them was black smoke and raging fire from the bomb's explosion!

Since this was an attack material assembly site, Lin Jun had two of the planes carry incendiary bombs. Since the last night attack, he has loved the smell of "roast pig on fire".
