Feng Dafei didn't know what the airstrip built by Liu Yimin looked like, but he knew that the airstrip built urgently at this time generally did not have navigation equipment, but it was just to find a piece of flat land, and the foundation was tamped and tamped, which was equivalent to a tarmac. In this case, it is necessary to light firewood and straw, and use thick smoke to indicate the direction of the airfield, so that the pilot can find the airfield and land smoothly. That's why he sent a telegram asking for smoke to indicate the location of the airport. This is also the local method.

After receiving a telegram from Liu Yimin from the airstrip to greet the first air brigade, Cai Zhong immediately called the Air Defense Command and asked Han Qianqian to personally organize and implement it to ensure the safe landing of the plane.

After making the phone call, Cai Zhong personally went to the Air Defense Command, and together with Han Qianjian, commander of the Air Defense Command and commander of the Air Defense Brigade, and Zhou Huan, political commissar, rushed to the Zhujiazhuangzi airstrip, and instructed the soldiers to light a few piles of dry firewood. It wasn't until he saw a few thick clouds of smoke floating into the air, forming a column of smoke, that Cai Zhong smiled and said, "Okay, Feng Dafei and they will definitely be able to see it." ”

After Feng Dafei led a large group of aircraft from the sea to Shandong, he flew northwest from Yuzhao and arrived over Dadian at 11:40 a.m. It was completely safe to get here, and when the plane came out of the clouds, I saw a few plumes of smoke not far away. Feng Dafei was full of joy and shouted to the intercom: "Comrades, we are home. Lower the altitude and get ready to land! ”

One after another, fighter planes landed at the Zhujiazhuangzi airstrip. Every time a fighter plane landed safely, there was a cheer on the ground, and it was not until the planes landed that Feng Dafei landed with the fighter.

After getting off the plane, Cai Zhong, Han Qianjian, and Zhou Huan greeted each other and exchanged military salutes with Feng Dafei, and then Cai Zhong stepped forward quickly, hugged Feng Dafei tightly, and said loudly: "Comrade Dafei, congratulations on your victory!" ”

Then, Cai Zhong, Han Qianjian, and Zhou Huan shook hands with the cadres and soldiers of the aviation brigade.

After the greetings were over, and without waiting for the cadres and soldiers of the first air brigade to make a move, Han Qianqian ordered the soldiers of the air defense brigade to push the planes into the hangar one by one. Feng Dafei smiled at a glance, it turned out that this hangar was a bit like a cave in northern Shaanxi, all of which cut the hillside into a cliff face, dug a hole in the cliff face, and reinforced the cave with bricks and pillars.

This time, Feng Dafei was completely relieved, and went to the division headquarters with Cai Zhong, Han Qianjian, and Zhou Huan.

By the time Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan hurried back to the division headquarters, it was already the morning of the next day.

The two of them did not care about resting, and first met with all the cadres and fighters of the first aviation team. Then Liu Yimin took Feng Dafei to the office and inquired in detail about the situation in Shaanxi and Wuhan.

According to Feng Dafei, the severe drought in Sichuan from the end of '36 to the spring of '37 affected most parts of Sichuan, except for the Sichuan Basin, and some counties even had no harvest. In the second half of '37, the phenomenon of cannibalism even occurred, and even the Kuomintang's "Central Daily" said that entering the hardest-hit areas was like entering hell on earth. Even in the Guangyuan area controlled by our army, there was basically no harvest, and the refugees basically flocked to Shaanxi, and in addition to the ordinary people who had evacuated from Shanxi and the young students who had come to Shaanxi from all over the country to participate in the revolution, Shaanxi was under great pressure on grain, and in addition, it was necessary to ensure the supply of front-line troops, and as a result, it was not enough to use up all the grain stored for 36 years and the summer grain for 37 years. After the instructors went to the front, the central authorities stipulated that the cadres of the organs at all levels who remained in Shaanxi should have 6 taels of rations per day, and the troops would have 8 taels of rations per day. Even [***] they are mixed with grain and wild vegetables.

Liu Yimin knew all these situations, but he still felt palpitations when he heard Feng Dafei say it, and hurriedly asked Feng Dafei how his situation was now.

Feng Dafei said that the situation improved after the autumn grain harvest in '37. Due to the early progress of the land reform, the common people have become the owners of the land, every household regards the land as the root of life, carefully cultivated, this year's harvest in Shaanxi is very good, especially the 800 miles of Qinchuan, it is simply a granary, that land, fertile to plant what grows. Only northern Shaanxi cannot be self-sufficient in grain, and has to transfer grain for relief. However, Shaanxi's population has grown rapidly in the past two years, and both Guangyuan and Gannan have been affected by last year's drought, resulting in a large grain shortage and great pressure. The farms originally established by the various departments of the Red Seventh Army Corps are now all handed over to the garrison division and the security division, which are mainly supplied to the central organs, the Shaanxi anti-Ming boiling political axe, the garrison division, and the security division. After he returned to Shaanxi, he went to see Comrade Chen Yun and Comrade Fuchun, and they all praised the division commander for his cleverness in carrying out military reclamation at the beginning. However, Comrade Chen Yun said that he wanted to come to Shandong to have a look, discuss with you, and see if he could find a way to get more grain and transport it to the Shanxi base area, but the little devils tossed Shanxi miserably, and it was too difficult for the 115th Division, the 120th Division, the 129th Division, and the Reading Division to raise military rations, and the soldiers were all hungry and fighting devils.

Liu Yimin knew that after the fall of the base areas in central and southern Hebei, it was tantamount to destroying the granaries of the front-line troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the supply of several divisions in Shanxi would be tight. But I didn't expect it to be so difficult. It should be said that after several years of continuous development, it should not be a problem to ensure the supply of front-line troops, and even if it is not good, it is possible to pay money to buy grain in Henan and other places. But when I thought about it, I laughed, even if the Shaanxi base area had a bumper harvest, after all, the grain output was limited at this time, and the people could not watch the Sichuan refugees suffer, so they must do everything to help, and Shaanxi's food would inevitably be insufficient. In addition, although it is now a joint resistance of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, if [***] and the Eighth Route Army want to buy grain from the areas controlled by [***], I am afraid that it is also a fool's dream. Especially now, the army regards Shanxi and Henan as the main battlefields, and wants to get grain from Henan and Shanxi, which is undoubtedly a tiger's mouth.

Liu Yimin wanted to know very much about the damage to Shaanxi's industry in the bombing by the Yue army, and Feng Dafei told him that the Mian County Ordnance Industrial Base was a mess by the bombing of the Yue army, and all the hard work was destroyed in one fell swoop. At present, the cadres and workers of the arsenal have used some of the salvaged equipment to be transferred to the deep mountainous area of the Qinling Mountains in an effort to resume production, but without the iron and steel plant and power plant, they can only produce ordinary ammunition, such as rocket launchers, rockets, and August 1 automatic rifles. Xi'an was also bombed beyond recognition, and the citizens were evacuated to various counties. The only consolation is that some of the civilian factories originally built in the Qinling Mountains have not suffered too much damage, and they can basically ensure the production and supply of people's livelihood goods. The gold mine in Tongguan, the coal mine in Yulin, and the Yanchang oil field are relatively remote and have strict secrecy measures, but there is no loss and they are in normal production.

Liu Yimin felt a little better when he heard this, because there were gold mines and oil fields, and the economy of the Shaanxi base area would have something to rely on. Then Liu Yimin wanted to ask about the situation of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, but the words stopped when his mouth came to his lips, one was that Feng Dafei did not necessarily know the situation discussed at the meeting, and the other was that even if Feng Dafei knew, he could not ask Liu Yimin if he didn't say it, this is the war years, and discipline comes first. I had no choice but to let Feng Dafei talk about the situation in Wuhan.

Feng Dafei reported on the situation of the First Air Brigade of the Eighth Route Army participating in the war in Luoyang, and then also made a detailed report on the situation in Wuhan. Speaking of the embarrassing situation when Chiang Kai-shek summoned him, Liu Yimin couldn't help but smile and said: "This old Chiang likes to play this hand the most." He doesn't look at who we are! ”

Feng Dafei saw that Liu Yimin was still in a good mood, so he reported on the situation of seeing Ni Hua. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ni Hua was mentioned, Liu Yimin lowered his head and remained silent. After a long pause, Liu Yimin asked Feng Dafei to report in detail on the bombing of the aircraft carrier formation of the Yuejun Longxiang.

Only then did Feng Dafei explain how he was ordered to bomb the airports in Wuhu, Anqing, and Nanjing, how he met the Wuhan army halfway through the attack, and how he decided to try his luck in the sea near Shanghai to find the aircraft carrier formation.

After Feng Dafei finished speaking, Liu Yimin inquired in detail about every link, including the formation of the aircraft carrier formation, communication and liaison, vigilance and protection, etc. In the end, Liu Yimin had a whim, and asked Feng Dafei with an expectant face: "Dafei, do you think we can go directly to bomb Tokyo?" ”

Feng Dafei didn't think about it, and directly said that it could work. He also explained the reason, saying: "On May 19, the two crews of Xu Huansheng and Tong Yanbo of the [***] Air Force flew Martin-139WC bombers to make a long-distance attack at night to avoid the air defense warning system of the Japanese army. If they can do it, we will do it. ”

Liu Yimin's eyes became more eager: "Dafei, [***] only went to two planes, and the plane was equipped with a radio direction finder, as well as Ningbo ground station navigation. Our army doesn't have either, it's very difficult! ”

As soon as Feng Dafei heard Liu Yimin say that he was bombing, the blood all over his body gushed up, and he was full of energy. Seeing that Liu Yimin said that there was no radio direction finder and ground navigation, Liu Yimin's army would be opened in turn: "Division commander, you are the legendary hero of our army, and the instructor is the first-class main force of our army." There are Jinan Airport and Qingdao Airport in Shandong, and Xuzhou Airport in the south, which are the backbone air bases of the army. As long as you take one, you can bomb the book right away. Think about it, if we blew up the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, would Xiao Yuben still be so rampant? Division commander, it's your business to get the navigation system and aviation ammunition, and I'm in charge of blowing up the palace, you won't let us down, right? ”

Liu Yimin was amused when he saw that Feng Dafei, who was eager to fight, turned against his own army, but when he thought that if he could really bomb the palace and kill Emperor Hirohito, the warmonger, maybe he could really change history again, his heart thumped.

patted Feng Dafei on the shoulder and told him not to get excited, quickly find a map to draw out the route, organize the aviation brigade to conduct training for the surname, and when the conditions are met, he must be allowed to go to the sky above the book.

Liu Yimin didn't expect that good news would come one after another. After Feng Dafei left, Liu Yimin was about to go to Qian Zhuangfei to ask for a telegram from this time, and Qian Zhuangfei accompanied the three of them to find him. After the introduction, Liu Yimin was so pleasantly surprised that he said what kind of thing it was today, and how good things came together.

It turned out that the three people brought by Qian Zhuangfei were all legends of our army. One is Li Qiang, a legendary talent in the history of our army's military industry and a well-known radio communication expert; One is Cao Xiangren, our army's radio code-breaking expert and legendary hero on the Long March; The other is Qian Zhidao, a legendary figure in the field of chemistry in our army's military industry.

Liu Yimin knew that Li Qiang had not returned to China for a long time after completing his studies in the Soviet Union, and that he was currently the deputy director of the Military Industry Bureau and the Radio Bureau of the Military Commission.

Li Qiang reported that although the military air raid destroyed the military industrial base in Mian County, the talent was retained. Due to the blockade of the army, Shandong's equipment and equipment could not be transported back to Shaanxi, and Zhou Enlai simply asked Li Qiang to lead the team and bring a group of engineers and technicians to Shandong. Moreover, in view of the fact that the army frequently changed the password in the hands of the instructor, which made it impossible for our army to decipher it, Zhou Enlai was ruthless and sent Cao Xiangren, one of the three masters of our army in deciphering the enemy's code and who had won the third-class Red Star Medal in the Central Soviet Region, to Shandong to serve as the political commissar of the instructor's intelligence analysis office, and became a partner with He Xinghua and was led by Qian Zhuangfei. It's a pity that I encountered the little devil on the road and sacrificed some comrades.

Liu Yimin knew that Li Qiang and Cao Xiangren were both people who had made great contributions in the history of our army.

Let's talk about Li Qiang first, this person is purely a genius. He was born in 1905, a native of Changshu, Jiangsu, his real name is Zeng Peihong, the word is a young fan, he was originally a student of the University Department of the Mining School on Nanyang Road in Shanghai, joined the party after the May Day Movement, participated in the armed uprising of Shanghai workers, and made explosives for the armed uprising. After Chiang Kai-shek's "April 12" coup, Zhou Enlai founded the Central Special Branch, and Li Qiang was the head of the communications section. At that time, in order to adapt to the situation of the struggle, the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China decided to establish a radio station, but due to the White Terror, the Kuomintang strengthened the blockade, and the radio station urgently needed by our party could not be bought on the market at all. There was no way, Zhou Enlai asked Li Qiang to develop a radio station, and sent Zhang Shenchuan, then secretary of the local party branch of the French Concession in Shanghai, to the 6th military radio station of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army of the Kuomintang to learn radio transmission and reception technology. After Li Qiang accepted the task, he bought a set of English radio textbooks for American universities, and in the name of radio enthusiasts, he made friends with businessmen from the Asian American Company and the Dahua Company, which were dealing in American radio equipment in Shanghai, and successively purchased radio equipment, tools, and related books and periodicals from them. Then, while the radio station had not yet started to operate, Li Qiang first assembled a few transmitters and quietly took them to the big steamers at various wharves in Shanghai to sell, which not only mastered the technology, but also made some money, and solved the urgent need of special science and technology to be financially constrained. In the second half of 1929, the central government officially decided to establish the first radio station, and Li Qiang and Zhang Shenchuan rented a three-story building at No. 9 Fukangli, Sifeier Road (now Wanhangdu Road) in western Huxi as the secret site of the radio station. After several tests, the radio worked well. After receiving the good news of the successful birth of our party's first radio station, Zhou Enlai personally compiled the first code book in the history of our party and our army, and decided that Li Qiang would be in charge of radio maintenance and Zhang Shenchuan would be in charge of newspaper affairs. By the end of 1929, Li Qiang took Huang Shangying, the first telegraph operator jointly trained by himself and Zhang Shenchuan, to Kowloon, Hong Kong to establish a second secret radio station. In January of the following year, Shanghai and Hong Kong successfully reported and became the first pair of notification radio stations made by [***] itself. By 1932, the voice of the Central Committee had been able to be transmitted to the major base areas across the country in a timely manner through secret radio stations. After Gu Shunzhang's rebellion, Li Qiang assisted Zhou Enlai and others in transferring organs and personnel and went to the Soviet Union via Harbin. He studied at the Academy of Communications of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the USSR, engaged in scientific research, did teaching work, devoted himself to the field of communication scientific research that he was good at, and became a famous communication scientist. During this period, he published the radio science paper "Sending Diamond Antenna", which caused a shock in the Soviet radio community, and was promoted to researcher by the Soviet political axe, becoming one of the seven radio experts in the Soviet Union, his name was included in the Soviet encyclopedic dictionary, and the research results were named "Li Qiang's formula".

Besides, Cao Xiangren is an intelligence warfare expert trained by our army itself. During the first anti-encirclement and suppression, our army seized a radio station and a half of Zhang Huizan and Tan Daoyuan's department, and Zhu De immediately decided to open a radio training course for the Red Army, and Cao Xiangren was a student of the first training course of the Third Army Corps of the Red Army. Later, he was transferred to the headquarters of the Red Army, engaged in reconnaissance code research, and in August 32, together with Comrade Zeng Xisheng, he deciphered the enemy's code for the first time and made great contributions. Later, in the previous anti-encirclement and suppression and Long March, Cao Xiangren became a radio reconnaissance expert of the Red Army, and was [***] became the "lantern" of the Red Army.

Cao Xiangren used to be Qian Zhuangfei's subordinate, but he specialized in art, although Qian Zhuangfei and He Xinghua were also code-breaking experts, they were mainly experts in translation and telegraphing. This Cao Xiangren specialized in code breaking, and historically he wrote the book "Introduction to Cryptography" in 1941.

With Cao Xiangren, the little devil's actions can't escape Liu Yimin's eyes.

Qian Zhidao is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Zhejiang University, majoring in theoretical chemistry. Historically, he only began to study poison gas and gas masks at the Nanjing Institute of Applied Chemistry and the Institute of Taihua in 1937, and only went to Yan'an in 1939. Historically, he built the first factory for the manufacture of basic chemical products and explosives in our army. However, now that history has changed, after Liu Yimin occupied Xi'an, he asked the central government to take measures to attract intellectuals to Xi'an, and Qian Zhidao's ideological progress was selected by the Zhejiang underground party and sent to Xi'an. When Liu Yimin founded the gunpowder factory of Mianxian Arsenal, Qian Zhidao participated in the work and soon stood out and became the director of the gunpowder factory.

With Li Qiang, Liu Yimin knew that the communication ability of the Eighth Route Army would be greatly improved. You must know that Liu Yimin himself is a top student of Peking University, and his stomach is too advanced in theory, design and technology than this era, but he can't say it. With a top expert like Li Qiang, as long as Liu Yimin gives a little guidance at a critical time, what radar and what radio navigation are all pieces of cake.
