The reason of the Air Force seems reasonable, but in fact it is far-fetched, the absence of a few pilots and a few ground crews does not affect the operation at all, everyone knows that this is just an excuse, the real reason is that the Air Force has been wronged, and if they do not give an explanation, they will strike.

It is said that military personnel regard obedience to orders as their duty, and cannot be as casual as student strikes and workers' strikes, but the Air Force is different from ordinary soldiers, they are the pride of the sky, the trump card of trump cards, and it is good not to bully others in ordinary times, how can they suffer losses, and this time the conflict with the 89th Army caused deaths, even if the Ministry of Defense came forward, it could not be suppressed.

The war in Jiangbei is in full swing, the 265th Division and the ** fierce battle, the 267th Division encountered fierce resistance, can not advance half a step, if no longer get the support of the Air Force, both divisions will be finished, the situation is stronger than people, Ou Guangwu had to admit the species, first let the three pilots out of the confinement room, eat and drink and greet, and then let the chief of staff come forward, send the pilots back, and apologize to the Air Force by the way.

The chief of staff prepared a truckload of gifts, the 89th Army's poor jingle sounded, and there was nothing valuable, so he got some eggs, soybean oil, rice, white flour, pork or something, and drove them over, but he was humiliated by the Air Force, not only threw everything out, but also beat the chief of staff, saying that we had suffered such a big loss, so we sent a chief of staff to fool us, which is an insult to our Air Force!

The chief of staff returned to the barracks in embarrassment, the five finger marks on his face were red and swollen and eye-catching, Ou Guangyan was furious, but there was nothing to be done, the radio kept coming from the telegram asking for rapid reinforcements, he frowned and paced back and forth for half an hour, and finally made a decision, calling the old commander Gu Zhutong for help.

Gu Zhutong scolded Ou Guangwu first, it is not good to provoke anyone, go and provoke the pilot, these boys are all high-level talents, they can speak English and fly planes, the money spent by the party-state on them is worth the same weight of gold, Mrs. Jiang spoils them like her own sons, you are good, you are confined and confined to one person, and one is killed.

"Sir Gu, it was the ground crew who was killed." Ou Guangwu cautiously explained.

"Can the ground crew be killed?" Gu Zhutong split his head and covered his face and reprimanded him, Ou Guangwu was holding the phone and Nuo Nuo repeatedly, and at the end Gu Zhutong said: "This gang is really arrogant, let them sober up a little, I'll do some work above, you do your job." ”

"Thank you, Sir Gu." Ou Guangwu was already sweating, thinking that he was going to be removed from his post and investigated, but he didn't know that he was desperate, and the old chief was sympathetic to his subordinates.

Nanjing, Gu Zhutong began to dredge up and down, interceding for Ou Guangwu and the 89th Army, although the commander of the Air Force is Zhou Zhirou, but in fact the power is in the hands of Song Meiling, the relationship between Mrs. Jiang and the Air Force is extraordinary, the pilots are trained in the United States, can speak fluent English, usually eat Western food with knives and forks, and Song Meiling is the same kind of person, they are all impressed by Mrs. Jiang's charm, and they can't wait to die for her, Mrs. Jiang also loves these young men the most, and regards them as sons, the 89th Army and the Air Force conflict, she naturally stands on the side of the Air Force, Therefore, Gu Zhutong's face is not very good.

To put it mildly, the Ministry of National Defense finally made peace with the mud and asked the 89 Army to severely punish the murderers and punish the 89 Army in the district, but the Air Force did not buy it, and also sent a telegram to the whole country to expose the crimes of the 89 Army, they not only shot the ground crew of the Air Force, but also fought against the students who marched, and this account had to be calculated, and this move was immediately responded by the Air Force of the whole country, and all bomber and fighter groups and stations responded one after another, grounding flights in protest.

The civil war is in full swing, and the air force strike affects the war situation across the country, and the fun is great, and the Ministry of Defense has no choice but to coordinate and pacify, while ordering the Jiangbei Traffic Police Corps to send troops to rescue the 265th Division of the 89th Army.

……

Beitai, Chen Shou commanded, 10,000 elite traffic police were deployed in all directions, deep ditches and high bases, pillbox trenches, strict defense, friendly 265 Division in the vicinity of Nantai and the Jiangbei column of the Eighth Route Army fought fiercely for several days, the traffic police sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, has not shot.

Suddenly, a transport plane flew in the sky and dropped the letterbox, which turned out to be an order from the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense to let Chen Shou lead the army to relieve the siege of the 265th Division, Chen Shou was very puzzled, why did he not give an order directly to himself through the provincial capital, he hurriedly asked Chen Zikun for instructions.

Chen Zikun reinstated, just four words: "no disobedience".

Chen Shou was puzzled, because there was a conspiracy in advance, and the traffic police would never interfere in the affairs of the 89th Army, even if they died in front of him, they would not pull a hand, but at this time, he said that he could not disobey the order, what did he mean?

He found Xiao Lang, the mayor of Beitai, and asked him, Xiao Lang said: "The Ministry of National Defense overstepped the command, just to bypass Chief Chen's command, since he directly gave you an order, it is naturally not easy to disobey, otherwise who will not be able to save him if he asks for the crime." ”

Chen Shou said: "That is to send troops, but the 89th Army is our opponent, I would rather help the Eighth Road than help them, besides, I will have 10,000 horses, even if they are all scattered, they may not be able to do better than others, and then lose Beitai, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Xiao Lang smiled slightly: "Let you send troops, and I didn't say how many soldiers, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, even if you send troops, it is understandable, even if you lose, but if you don't send troops, you will not be saved, understand?" ”

Chen Shou suddenly realized: "Understood, hey, you scholars are really vicious, no wonder the ancient army had to be equipped with military advisors, it turned out to be this, Mayor Xiao, why don't you come and be a military advisor for me." ”

Of course, this was just a joke, and Chen Shou immediately ordered Liang Maocai to lead a company with a radio station to "reinforce" the 265th Division.

More than ten cars were moving slowly on the road, and Liang Maocai took the radio microphone and said lazily: "Division Commander Wang, our traffic police corps is already on the road. ”

There was a rustling sound in the earpiece, and then there was a crying cry from the commander of the 265th Division: "When will you arrive, we can't hold on, for the sake of the party and the state, pull the brothers." ”

Liang Maocai said: "Brother Wang, please hold on for another three days, and we will arrive in three days." ”

Putting down the microphone, Liang Mao ordered to camp on the spot, rest and eat, and talk about it early in the morning.

The soldiers set up tents, buried pots to cook rice, opened cans, and Liang Maocai sat on the marching bed and threw up poker with a few subordinates.

Two hundred meters away, several guerrillas quietly looked over here, led by a young woman wearing a floral cotton jacket and carrying a carbine, with a grass stalk in her mouth, squinting her eyes and secretly counting the number and weapons of this Kuomintang unit, and whispering: "It is the traffic police of Beitai, and it is the former anti-Japanese salvation army, Chen Zikun's soldiers." ”

A black and strong junior next to him rubbed his hands and said, "Sister Chunhua, let's fight, it's time for our district team to open meat." ”

Chunhua glanced at him: "Dog, the task of the district team is to investigate, not to block, understand it, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”

The dog pouted aggrievedly, fiddled with the old sleeve and said, "Our old gun, it should have been replaced a long time ago." ”

Chunhua said: "You just want to change the gun and guard it here for me." "Then get up and leave.

"Sister Chunhua, where are you going?" Dogan asked.

"I'm going to report to Commander Wu, Political Commissar Ye!" Chunhua jumped on a mule, let out a low snort, and headed south.

……

In front of the enemy's command post in the Jiangbei Column, the artillery rumbled, the telephone rang incessantly, the staff officers went in and out, and the sand table was full of small red and blue flags, indicating the situation of the enemy and us, although the Kuomintang 265 Division was not the main division, but there were nearly 10,000 men and horses, semi-American weapons and equipment, it was a hard bone to gnaw, the battle had lasted for several days, and our army paid a great price and finally surrounded the enemy.

Wu Changqing stood in front of the map in a military coat and pondered, the teapot in his hand was cold, Ye Xuefeng came over and said, "Old Wu, are you still thinking about how to eat the 265th Division?" ”

Wu Changqing said: "You see, the 265th Division has been surrounded by us, and the 267th Division was blocked by our army south of the Huaijiang River, but our strength is also close to the point of exhaustion. ”

Ye Xuefeng pointed to a point on the map and said: "Transfer the independent regiment back, the 265th Division can't hold out for half an hour." ”

Wu Changqing said: "The independent regiment is the most effective unit of our column, good steel should be used on the blade, if the enemy of North Thailand is dispatched, we will not only have to give up all our efforts, but also be bitten off a piece of meat, put the independent regiment here to fight and block, it is a foolproof strategy, and the risk of withdrawing is too great." ”

Ye Xuefeng nodded: "Yes, Chen Zikun's attitude is ambiguous and difficult to understand, but according to the intelligence of the provincial party committee, Chen Zikun's son was injured by the 89th Army, and I think with his character, he will not give up easily." ”

Wu Changqing said: "That's what I said, but we can't afford to gamble." ”

As he was talking, the guard came in and reported: "Chief, Ma Chunhua of the guerrillas has an important report on the enemy situation. ”

"Oh, Chunhua is here, please invite him in." Ye Xuefeng said happily.

The heroic female guerrilla leader walked in, because she was in a hurry, her face was flushed, her safflower cotton jacket was a towering breast, she was tall, her legs were long, her buttocks were big, if she wasn't carrying a carbine, she would have thought it was someone's new daughter-in-law.

Wu Changqing said: "Welcome, welcome, our militia model in the liberated area is here, little plum, pour tea." ”

Ma Chunhua said: "Commander, political commissar, I won't drink tea, I have an important situation report, the enemy in North Thailand dispatched a company, and he is resting halfway." ”

"Oh, isn't it the vanguard of reinforcements?" Ye Xuefeng immediately became vigilant.

"It's not." Ma Chunhua said, "There are no other troops behind, just one company, three small jeeps, five medium jeeps, and five ten-wheeled trucks." ”

"Mechanized troops, Lao Wu, what kind of medicine do you see sold in the enemy's gourd?" Ye Xuefeng's inquiring gaze turned to Wu Changqing.

Wu Changqing lit a cigarette and pondered: "If the reinforcements will not have only one reinforced company, let alone rest halfway, is it ...... Pretending? ”

"That's right! I judged that the enemy was just putting on a show. Ye Xuefeng was full of confidence, "The traffic police corps and the 89th Army have always been at odds, and it is too late to fall into the well at this time, how can they lend a hand, but if they don't rescue and can't explain to Nanjing, they acted in such a play." ”

Wu Changqing said: "Since this is the case, then let's accompany them to play a big drama and show Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing." ”

The two laughed heartily, and Ma Chunhua stared at her big eyes in confusion: "Commander, political commissar, what are you laughing at?" ”
