Chapter 224: Back to Datong

The battle is over. The cavalry regiment Kong Tuan rode on the war horse and looked up to the sky and roared, many soldiers also raised their arms and shouted, this battle was really enjoyable, hundreds of little devils were like cutting turnips, all of them were hacked to death in just ten minutes, it really made people have a feeling of exhilaration.

Seeing that everyone was cheering, the cavalry commander shouted: "Brothers, clean up the battlefield and take everything you can with you." ”

"Commander, what about the corpse of the little devil?" One of the warriors asked aloud.

"You stupid guy", the cavalry commander scolded with a smile, several soldiers next to him let out a good-natured laugh, and the cavalry commander changed his words and said: "The corpses of the little devils are all piled up in a pile, let's see if there is still gasoline in the little devil's car, pour all the corpses of the little devils on gasoline, and burn them all." ”

Without the division of labor among their regimental commanders, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner, and all the bodies of the little devils were carried to the side of the road and poured gasoline on them for cremation.

Some of the soldiers were full of excitement to collect the weapons scattered on the ground, and the remaining bullets on the little devil's body were also taken down by one left, and the little devil had a motorized brigade, and there were six or seven hundred Type 38 rifles, and there were many crooked machine guns, and there were actually more than fifty of them, and most of these equipment, except for a few that were damaged, were relatively intact.

Looking at so many weapons and equipment, the head of the cavalry regiment, Kong's eyes lit up, and his face smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

Today, not only the Kong Tuan of the cavalry regiment is smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, but many other officers are smiling, including Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 59th Army.

Zhang Zizhong, who had just finished sending a telegram to the Fifth War Zone, was laughing in his dreams at night, not thinking that his sworn brother was so powerful, and in just one day, tens of thousands of troops of little devils would be wiped out......

The next morning, the weather at Yichang Airport was fine, and a large transport plane had been parked on the runway and could take off at any time.

Zhang Yunfei was about to leave, Zhang Zizhong was very reluctant in his heart, but knowing that Zhang Yunfei was busy with military affairs, Zhang Zizhong did not force him to stay, but took more than a dozen senior officers of the 59th Army to Yichang Airport to see Zhang off.

Zhang Zizhong held Zhang Yunfei's hand, his eyes were a little red, and he said very reluctantly: "Brother, I don't know how long it will take to see you again, I'm really reluctant." "Big brother, I'll come over to see you when I'm free." Zhang Yunfei comforted.

Zhang Zizhong knew that Zhang Yunfei was comforting himself, as the commander-in-chief of the group army, he didn't mean to come to Yichang when he came to Yichang, Zhang Zizhong shook Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, welcome to come to Yichang often." ”

The two exchanged a few more words at the airport, Zhang Yunfei shook hands with more than a dozen senior commanders of the 59th Army who saw him off, and then under Zhang Zizhong's reluctant gaze, accompanied by Liu Xing of the special combat team, Zhang Yunfei resolutely strode forward and boarded the plane without looking back.

Today's plane is Gao Zhihang, today not only Gao Zhihang personally piloted the plane, but also four Mustang fighters and an early warning plane accompanied the escort, in the 59th Army's reluctant eyes, Zhang Yunfei's plane took off, flew farther and farther, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

It wasn't until a few minutes after the plane left Yichang Airport that Zhang Yunfei gradually felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, just now at the airport, although Zhang Yunfei was very moved and reluctant in his heart, but he had a faint smile on his face, and it was not until this time that his emotions were written on his face.

This sworn brother of his own, he really didn't say anything to himself, Zhang Yunfei knew that he had added a big boost in this world.

At noon, Datong Airport.

The tarmac was already full of people greeting them, including Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff of the 36 th Group Army, Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, Comrade Fang Zheng, deputy director of the General Political Department, and some division and brigade commanders in Datong.

Everyone is full of expectations, smiling neatly standing on the airport and waiting patiently, now Datong Airport has been built into a large airport, huge apron and hangar, at the same time can park hundreds of aircraft, the airport's ten straight and spacious runways, can accommodate ten planes to take off at the same time.

While everyone was waiting patiently, a correspondent from Datong Airport came quickly, stood up in front of everyone, and said respectfully and loudly: "Chiefs, in ten minutes, the commander-in-chief's plane will land at the airport. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei's plane was about to land at the airport, everyone immediately stood up straight and waited respectfully, in less than ten minutes, there was a roar of planes in the sky, and a large transport plane appeared in everyone's field of vision, behind the transport plane, there were four petite Mustang transport planes, and an equally huge early warning aircraft.

The plane that Zhang Yunfei was riding on slowly lowered its altitude and slowed down, and began to land on the runway, as soon as the tires on the landing gear of the plane came into contact with the runway, there was a harsh and sharp friction sound, and the plane landed safely, and after taxiing on the runway for thousands of meters, it slowly stopped not far in front of everyone.

The ground staff of Datong Airport quickly put up a ramp for the plane, and Liu Xing of the special combat team personally opened the cabin door for Zhang Yunfei, and then silently followed behind Zhang Yunfei.

With a faint smile on his face, Zhang Yunfei's familiar figure immediately appeared at the door of the cabin, Zhang Yunfei, who walked out of the plane, waved his hand to the people who greeted him, and then calmly walked down the gangway.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, first held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly and said on behalf of everyone: "Welcome the commander-in-chief back to Datong. ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly.

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, also shook Zhang Yunfei's hand with a happy face and said: "Commander-in-chief, you have won a few battles in Jingzhou, which makes us also enthusiastic. ”

After Deng Wenping finished speaking, everyone, including Zhang Yunfei, burst out laughing.

At this time, the chief of staff of the left said again: "Commander-in-chief, this time we not only eliminated the little devil's Botian detachment and recovered Jingzhou, but also left the third infantry division in the land of Jingchu, as if we had inserted a sharp blade in the little devil's Central China Front, a sharp blade that would kill the little devil at any time." ”

Zhang Yunfei secretly admired the strategic vision of Chief of Staff Zuo, who was worthy of graduating from the first phase of Huangpu, and saw at a glance the important surname of leaving the Third Infantry Division in Jingzhou.

Zhang Yunfei praised: "Chief of Staff Zuo, what a wise eye, our Third Infantry Division is a tiger entrenched next to the Tenth Army of Little Devils. ”

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, also joked at this time: "Commander-in-chief, although this is the case, I think that Lao Jiang, who is far away in Yucheng, should thank us well, we have guarded the east gate of Yucheng for him for free, and if the little devil wants to attack Yucheng, he must first attack Jingzhou." ”

As soon as Comrade Deng Wenping finished speaking, everyone laughed again, the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious, and Zhang Yunfei also joked: "Then there is a chance, we have to find Lao Jiang to ask for the salary of guarding the door." ”

After everyone finished laughing, Zhang Yunfei held Liu Dazhu's hand again, and Liu Dazhu said a little excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, seeing you go back to Datong, my heart is much more steady, I think the little devils in the north don't dare to act rashly." ”

When Zhang Yunfei held Fang Zheng's hand, Fang Zheng also said excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, you can come back, I still have a lot of work to report to you, now the situation of the factories in Datong is very good, I will report to you in a few days." ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, patted Fangzheng's sturdy shoulder vigorously and said, "Old Fang, hard work!" ”

Zhang Yunfei exchanged a few words with everyone, shook hands with everyone who came to greet him one by one, and finally walked to an off-road vehicle under the support of everyone, boarded the off-road vehicle that had been prepared, and went to Datong City.

On the off-road vehicle, looking at the familiar scene on both sides, Zhang Yunfei was full of emotion, what he saw a few days ago, whether it was in Yichang or Jingzhou, was far worse than the prosperity of Datong, and the lives of people there were much harder.

Zhang Yunfei thought in his heart, it seems that he still has a long way to go, his anti-Japanese war cause has just started, and the great rivers and mountains of the motherland still need to be recovered.

Chief of Staff Zuo, who was sitting next to Zhang Yunfei, saw Zhang Yunfei's face full of emotion, and faintly guessed some thoughts in Zhang Yunfei's heart, and Chief of Staff Zuo, who had been working with Zhang Yunfei for several months, also thought a lot in his heart, and did not come back to his senses until the convoy reached the Datong headquarters.

When several cars arrived at the gate of the headquarters, several soldiers standing guard immediately came over diligently to pull the car door for Zhang Yunfei, and stood up and saluted, shouting loudly: "Good commander-in-chief!" ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly and gave everyone a military salute back.

Compared with the calmness of the soldiers standing guard at the door, many soldiers in the headquarters could not calm down, and several soldiers immediately cheered happily inside the headquarters, "The commander-in-chief is back, the commander-in-chief is back......"

Zhang Yunfei's performance to everyone was only a faint smile, and then he strode into the headquarters he was familiar with, and entered the gate of the headquarters, many soldiers inside were very happy to see Zhang Yunfei, and saluted Zhang Yunfei again and again, shouting "Good chief!" ”

Some civilian personnel also ran out one after another, and some communications officers and confidential officers in the confidential room were no exception, and they specially stood up in front of Zhang Yunfei and gave a military salute.

Just as Zhang Yunfei was cordially returning the salute with everyone, a crisp voice sounded in Zhang Yunfei's ears, "Good chief!" This voice is very beautiful and very familiar, Zhang Yunfei followed the voice and looked at it, only to see Lin Yuxin, who had not been seen for many years, dressed in a military uniform, looking heroic and sassy, looking at himself with a smile.
