The special plane is draped in the autumn morning sun, flying into the sky, the high-rise buildings in Dingbian gradually disappear in the field of vision, looking down from the porthole, a dark green Dingbian City, embedded in the long Loess Plateau, like a pearl, that is the second hometown, come and go in a hurry, Tang Qiuli's heart, there are too many reluctance.

Before boarding the special plane, Mei Ting's mother and daughter, who saw off at the airport, were full of reluctance in their eyes, Xiao Jialin may have realized that this was another parting with her father, and finally shouted sweetly, "Dad!" ”

It was his daughter's call that made Tang Qiuli burst into tears, almost keeping the footsteps of the north, and never again fighting in the Quartet, just by his wife and daughter's side, but the responsibility on his shoulders and the fate of more than one million soldiers in the independent division were all tied to himself, and he couldn't give up or give up because of his children's affection.

The moment he turned around and boarded the gangway, Tang Qiuli's mind was full of his daughter's pink little face, clear eyes, and his wife Mei Ting's reluctant gaze.

The special plane continues to fly north, the earth under the wings, the autumn mood is getting stronger, flying over thousands of ravines, standing in the Taihang Mountains of North China, the endless Great Plain of North China, spread out in front of you, at noon, the special plane landed at Beiping Nanyuan Airport for refueling.

Previously, Tang Qiuli did not inform the military and political officials in the Pingjin area, and he did not want the news of his rush to the northeast to make the Japanese a little vigilant, so there was no large group of welcoming crowds at the airport, but the scale of more than a dozen fighters escorting these two special planes still gave the airport personnel a strong visual impact.

At this time, the Pingjin area was already the rear of the independent division, and the smoke of the war a few years ago had gradually faded out of people's memory, and there were sporadic gunshots outside Shanhaiguan. It seems to be very far away and does not disturb the peaceful life, but after all, the Nanyuan Airport in Beiping is an important base of the Northern Flight Group of the Independent Division's Air Force, so the roaring fighter planes attracted all the officers and soldiers on the airport to stop and look.

The quiet life does not dilute the characteristics of these soldiers. They were all colleagues of the air force, and when more than a dozen fighters roared down, the rushing killing aura made the officers who had seen a big battle stare at each other. This is a group of pilots who have just come off the battlefield, bringing momentum and murderous aura. It's like substance. And who are the mysterious characters in those two special planes?

Just stopped at Nanyuan Airport for a short time to refuel, and everyone, including Tang Qiuli, did not leave the cabin, and through the porthole, Tang Qiuli looked at the ancient capital of Beijing in the distance. That was the place where he and his wife Mei Ting met for the first time, and the past was vivid, as if it were yesterday. From this point on, my heart was like ashes, and began a tortuous emotional journey, and now I think about it, maybe it is providence.

Mei Xue looked at her husband, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, and asked softly, "Qiuli, what do you think?" ”

Tang Qiuli turned his head, looked at his wife's delicate face, and replied leisurely: "Xue, this is the place where Sister Ting and I met, got to know each other, and fell in love, there are too many memories, many of which have been blurred, but I will never forget the situation when I met Sister Ting for the first time." ”

Then, Tang Qiuli told Mei Xue the details of the first meeting with Mei Ting, Mei Xue listened attentively, and finally asked, "You guy, answer me honestly, did you have a ghost idea when you were shocked when you saw your sister?" ”

Tang Qiuli replied with an aggrieved face: "Xue, how can there be such a thing, at that time, Sister Ting's identity, but the dignified lieutenant colonel of the Military Control Bureau, Boss Dai's student, Chairman Jiang's loyal believer, and my political training director, came with the mission of monitoring me, I can't wait to use a qiē means to squeeze Sister Ting away, in a word, stay away, and dare to fight Sister Ting's idea, in other words, at that time, Sister Ting's eyes were like staring at a guy with a backbone in the back of his head, do you say anything else can happen?" ”

Mei Xue smiled, trembling with laughter, although she did not have a legendary experience like her sister, but without her sister, she would not have the happiness she has today, nor would she have such a man who entrusted her life.

The special plane took off and continued to fly northeast, and in the afternoon of the same day, it landed at the Jinzhou Field Airport, which was already the front line, and the atmosphere was completely different from that in the Pingjin area.

As soon as the two special planes of the two special planes of the independent division, the Southern Flying Group and the Northern Flying Group, had their own different symbols, the escort fighter group painted with the logo of the Southern Flying Group, escorted two special planes as soon as they appeared in the sky above the Jinzhou Field Airport, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

To tell the truth, these pilots who have been dealing with the Japanese Kwantung Army Air Force all day long are, on the one hand, curious about why the fighter group of the Southern Flying Group, a brother unit, suddenly arrived in Jinzhou, and on the other hand, they are also unconvinced.

Killing a little devil's fighter plane piecemeal, that will produce a sensational effect within the whole group, and Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group, which often has thousands of fighters dispatched together, and hundreds of little devil planes in each battle are very shabby, however, Liu Cuigang's subordinates are not convinced, they think that if it is their own troops, pull the Indochina Peninsula, the West Indies or the Southwest Pacific Theater, they should do a better job than those brothers in the Southern Flying Group, It's just that there's no chance to prove it!

Due to the needs of concealed purposes, the only people who came to greet division commander Tang Qiuli at the Jinzhou Field Airfield were Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, deputy division commander of the Independent Division and commander-in-chief of the Northeast Advance Command, Major General Yang Ketian, chief of staff of the East Division, and Major General Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Flight Group of the Independent Division's Air Force.

As soon as Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan met, the two didn't say anything, first they had a man-like hug, and then, they took a step back from each other and looked at each other.

The two looked at each other silently, understanding the meaning in each other's gazes, and after a long time, Tang Qiuli said: "Brother Tiehan, you have worked hard in the past few years, such a big mess in the north has been lost to you alone, I won't come back for a few years, it's really ashamed to come!" ”

Liu Tiehan smiled heartily and replied loudly: "Division commander, my own brother, if you say these things again, it's boring, you don't know, the entire northern region, I have the final say, there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals under my command, and I am pressing the little devils of the Kwantung Army to fight, that taste, it is similar to being the emperor, not to mention more energetic, it is Zhang Dashuai back then, and he does not have the prestige of my old brother, what kind of hard work do you talk about!" ”

Tang Qiu smiled, he knew what Liu Tiehan meant, and deliberately used a witty tone to dilute the sadness of the brothers meeting, the solemn atmosphere, for so many years, the situation in the north was supported by Liu Tiehan alone, in addition, there were more than one million elite Kwantung Army troops in the Northeast, the Soviet Union, and the Far East, maintaining a delicate regional balance, and preparing to attack at any time, the responsibility on his shoulders was not much easier than himself.

Looking at the wrinkles on his face, the little silver threads flashing in his black hair, and the tiredness he tried his best to hide in his blazing eyes, you can see how much pressure Liu Tiehan has, and entrusting the entire north of the Republic of China is a trust in Liu Tiehan, and it is also pressure.

Tang Qiu swallowed a hot current in his throat without revealing a trace, pulled Mei Xue beside him, and introduced: "Brother Tie Han, this is Mei Xue, my second wife, Mei Ting's own sister, Xue, come and see Brother Liu!" ”

Mei Xue, who was dressed in military uniform, first stood up and saluted, and said crisply: "Report to Deputy Division Commander Liu, Lieutenant Colonel Mei Xue, Director of the Information Department of the Division Headquarters, salute the commander!" Then, he bowed deeply again, and then said, "Mei Xue has seen Brother Liu!" ”

Liu Tiehan's eyes were shining, and he was a little at a loss, he didn't know whether to return the courtesy, or stop Mei Xue's bowing, rubbed his big hands, laughed and said, "Okay!" All right! Mei sisters, sure enough, they are all national colors and fragrance, heroic and cool, my brother, I am really blessed, brother and sister, you came just right, there is a mouth, brother, I went to the mountains this morning, I went around the mountains, my luck is good, I hit a roe deer, today at noon, I will use our game in the northeast to catch the wind for my brother and sister! ”

After speaking, he spread out, Liu Cuigang stepped forward, looked at Tang Qiuli eagerly, saluted, and said: "Report to the division commander, Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flight Group of the Independent Division, welcome the division commander to Jinzhou, please give the division commander instructions!" ”

For this young division commander, Liu Cuigang's respect and love are from the heart, it is he who has changed the trajectory of his life and Le Yiqin, if he does not appear, he and Le Yiqin, now, is nothing more than a number of pilots of the Aviation Administration of the National Government, two unknown, not always nested in Chongqing, in the southwest, and there is no chance to go to the battlefield to fight little devils.

This young man gave himself a completely different life, he could fly over the blue sky, beat the little devils freely, and guard the sky of the motherland, not to mention commanding more than a thousand planes, and shocking the north.

Tang Qiuli returned the salute and said with a smile: "Cuigang, I look at your face, your face is red, the false fire is rising, and the liver fire is quite strong, this is a typical sign of impetuousness, why, is Deputy Division Commander Liu tying your hands and feet and making you feel aggrieved?" ”
