Chapter Seventy-Five: A Meaningful Recruitment (Ask for Support!) )

Compared with the headquarters of the Red Army and the independent divisions, they rejoiced at this great victory. Xue Yue, who was originally waiting for the return of the Air Force and informing the independent division of the heavy losses, did not expect the news that the two air force squadrons were almost wiped out.

Twenty-one planes were shot down by the Red Army, and such news is unbelievable to Xue Yue. Even the pilots of the Central Army, who had stayed at the airport before, were obviously a little unconvinced. But the truth tells them that it's true.

From the three planes that successfully returned to Guiyang Airport, the scars full of bullet holes can be seen. These three planes were lucky to be able to escape back to Guiyang alive. If those bullets hit the vital parts of the plane, the fate is self-evident.

Confirming that it was not a joke, even Xue Yue, who knew that Chairman Chiang would be angry again, could only bite the bullet and send this telegram back to Nanjing. You know, this time it was not one or two planes that were lost, but almost two squadrons!

At present, there are only three air squadrons in the entire Guiyang airport. Now that two squadrons have been lost, and with this squadron left, Xue Yue is only afraid of being favored again, and he will not dare to send the air force to bomb the independent division again.

Chairman Chiang, who was far away in Nanjing, was stunned when he received this telegram. In disbelief, he said, "Has the news been confirmed?" ”

'Report to the chairman, the news has been confirmed that in the area of Anshun Shuangbao, we did lose twenty-one aircraft. The remaining three were able to come back alive because the planes missed the vital parts. Otherwise, ,,,'

The adjutant of the guard didn't say the latter words, but Chairman Chiang knew. If they hit the vital parts, the three planes would not be able to fly back. Then these two air squadrons will become completely annihilated in the true sense of the word.

'Niang Sippy! What kind of battle is this? When was our Air Force so incompetent? ’

Looking at Chairman Jiang, who was furious, the adjutant of the guard could only stubbornly say: "Report to the chairman, according to the telegram sent back by General Xue." This independent division used machine guns and smoke to carry out an ambush.

Probably because our Air Force pilots are too careless. So much so that in order to carry out the bombing accurately, the height of the descent was very low. As a result, it turned out that the independent division organized such a large number of machine-gun anti-air strafing.

According to the accounts of the three surviving pilots, the number of machine guns that ambushed them at that time was at least three or four hundred. In that case, our air force was ambushed, and the commander who led the team was too careless. ”

'Twenty-one planes, a full twenty-one planes, and those pilots. With such a loss, how can a careless person shirk responsibility? Niang Xipi, why is this independent division again.

Send a telegram and ask Zhou Hunyuan, where is he now? Send a telegram to Xue Yue, ordering him to rescue our pilot at all costs. And, we must annihilate this independent division, or I will punish him! ’

For the first time since the establishment of the Air Force, Chairman Chiang naturally felt that his heart was dripping with blood again. Not to mention the price of an aircraft, the loss of pilots alone is enough for him to feel distressed for a while.

And at this moment, looking at the Air Force pilots who were captured one after another by the Red Army soldiers. He Zhengdao still arranged for the military doctor accompanying the injured pilot to give him emergency treatment.

As for those pilots who had already been killed, He Zhengdao also ordered the officers and soldiers to collect their bones. In any case, these pilots are the founders of the Huaxia Air Force, and it is necessary to enjoy some preferential treatment.

Even in the treatment of those captured pilots, He Zhengdao also gave some preferential treatment. The officers and soldiers who are guarding them shall not be subjected to any verbal insults or ill-treatment to them.

In these years, the guys who can become pilots can be described as 'talent'. As for how to deal with these pilots next, He Zhengdao felt that he would take them to march with the troops first.

It's just that just when the independent division continued to drive, He Zhengdao heard the guard's report. There was a man outside the town who claimed to be the leader of the Miao tribe and wanted to meet He Zhengdao. Moreover, there are many young Miao people around him.

He Zhengdao, who heard the news, quickly came to the town and met with the local Miao leader. He Zhengdao was also somewhat surprised by his intention, and even felt that this seemed to be an opportunity.

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao said with a very sincere attitude: "Ava leader, I feel very sorry for the trouble caused to Guizhai by the army fighting here. But the Boss should know that we don't want that to happen either.

In view of the damage caused to Guizhai, I decided to give the chief a gift with a hundred rifles and three thousand rounds of ammunition. It's just that I have a small request that I hope the leader will consider. ”

One hundred guns, three thousand rounds. For the Ava leader, who knew the role of the gun, it was really a bit of a surprise. In fact, when he looked for He Zhengdao, he was more grateful than guilty.

The reason for the gratitude was that in the previous air battle, the Red Army fighters who were on guard nearby, saved his son, who was watching the excitement outside the town. If it weren't for the Red Army soldiers who captured him in time, the downed plane would have killed the leader's son.

As for the trouble caused to the local Miao village, it was also because a plane crashed and fell into this Miao village with a large number of people. At that time, it also caused panic among many Miao villagers. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the Miao people.

Originally, he wanted to come over with a gift to thank him, but instead he was given a gift by He Zhengdao, and the leader of Ava also felt a little incredible. The Han commander in front of him seemed to be a little different from what he had been in contact with before.

So he quickly said: "General He, you don't need this, right?" ”

And He Zhengdao smiled and said, "Ava leader, this is as it should be." If it weren't for our one-headed division stationed in Shuangbao City, your village would not have suffered such an unwarranted disaster. As for my men saving your son, that's what we should do.

I believe that the Ava leaders also know that our Red Army is very poor, and it is itself a unit that fights for the poor. So, we can't get the money. But we still have a lot of these weapons and ammunition.

If you are the leader of Ava, I believe that our Red Army is the people's army, and I hope to recruit some young people from your village who can speak Chinese. After all, in the course of our next war, we will definitely deal with you Miao people.

If there are a few people in my army who know the rules of your Miao people, I can also avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Of course, if your young people are not interested in joining our army, we will not force it. ”

I know that in the southwest region, the Miao people are a large ethnic group. If you can recruit a group of Miao soldiers who can speak Chinese in the independent division. He Zhengdao believes that passing through some Miao gathering areas will play a role that cannot be ignored.

Not every Miao people in every place will be as good at talking as the Ava leader in front of them. Even in He Zhengdao's opinion, if it weren't for the soldiers under his command who saved his son's life, it is estimated that this Ava leader would not have talked to him at all.

In many areas in the southwest, the government is still very cautious about the control of Miao people. And the Miao people are still very wary of strangers to the Han people, especially the army passing through their territory.

After listening to He Zhengdao's words, the leader of Ava thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then I will accept the general's gift." Wait a minute, I will select twenty young people from my village who can speak Chinese, and follow your command.

I just hope that the general will be kind to my twenty people in the future. As much as I hate war, I know that the world is in turmoil. I also hope that they can follow the general to make a career. ”

'Thank you, Ava Chief! Rest assured, I will protect them. I'm sure they'll probably come back again in the near future, and thank you for the opportunity. ’

Wait until He Zhengdao and let Yao Shengjun prepare twenty more guns and two thousand rounds of ammunition. The leader of Ava also selected twenty young men from the young men he brought with him to join the ranks of the independent division.

For the joining of these 20 Miao youths, He Zhengdao also attaches great importance to it. Even when he said goodbye to the leader of Ava, he asked him to take care of the families of the twenty young men. The extra guns and ammunition given can also be regarded as a little sincerity of the independent division.

In this regard, the leader of Ava also felt that He Zhengdao was a very good general. In these days, the price of a gun is not cheap, let alone those bullets. If you exchange it for money, I'm afraid it's a lot!

What even surprised He Zhengdao and Yao Shengjun was that the leader of Ava, who learned of this situation, bluntly said that he could choose another eighty young men from the village. Although some of them are young and strong, they don't speak much Chinese, but simple communication is still no problem.

After all, there are not many Miao people living in Shuangbao City, and they usually deal with a lot of Han people in the town. It's just that in these years, the Han people have a hard time, and these Miao people are not rich.

If one person can get a gun and a hundred rounds of ammunition, in the eyes of the Ava chieftain, it is a very good deal. With these weapons and ammunition, it can not only protect the safety of the village, but also allow the village hunters to hunt more prey and sell.

And this kind of business, in He Zhengdao's view, does not suffer. After all, with the order of the leader of Ava, these young Miao people who joined the independent division did not dare to disobey the leader's arrangement.

What's more, these Miao people who usually stay in the village are also very yearning for the world outside the village. Now that they have such an opportunity, they still want to follow the independent division to feel what the outside world is like!
