Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 278 Mutual Benefit
At the Phoenix Mountain base, the headquarters of the new Second Division, and the officers of the brigades and regiments were already waiting in the conference room, looking intently at Wu Ming, who had stepped into the chairmanship.
Wu Ming presided over the last meeting before departure.
Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning first introduced the orders of the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters, and then reported the itinerary of the whole division, and Wu Ming explained the precautions. At the end of the meeting, the generals all bid farewell to Chiang Ching-kuo, who was left behind, hurriedly walked out of the conference room, and rushed back to their respective units.
Wu Ming was not too worried about Chiang Ching-kuo.
Chiang Ching-kuo was deeply influenced by Soviet Russia and had a very strong sense of collectivity, and even if he received Chiang Kai-shek's order, he would never make small moves behind his back at the critical juncture of the War of Resistance. Besides, Wu Ming and the Lu brothers helped watch Jiang Jingguo, coupled with the monitoring of the intelligence department of the new Second Division, even if there was a change, it could be controlled in time.
After the meeting, Wu Ming led the headquarters of the new Second Division to Changshan by boat.
At half past six the next morning, all units of the New Second Division gathered at the Changshan camp, Wu Ming gave a speech to 15,000 soldiers on the field of the 10,000-person colonel, and Chiang Ching-kuo also made a passionate mobilization.
At noon, the troops arrived in Quzhou, but at this time, the four special trains allocated by the Quartermaster Department were still on their way, and they did not arrive until 10 o'clock in the evening, and the troops began to get on the buses in droves.
The next morning, the dawn began.
Amid the rumbling sound of the train, Wu Ming opened his eyes and saw Sun Chengyuan who was pushing him at a glance.
Sun Chengyuan met Wu Ming's intimidating gaze and scratched his head: "Master, our special train is almost at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Railway Station...... Two hours ago, the radio station of our division headquarters received a telegram that General Zhou Zhirou would welcome us at the railway station. ”
Wu Ming said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did you wake me up now?" ”
"I-"
Sun Chengyuan just wanted to explain, but suddenly closed his mouth, lowered his head and said, "Not next time." As Wu Ming's adjutant, Sun Chengyuan knew how hard Wu Ming was, he didn't sleep well the night before yesterday, he was busy until three o'clock in the morning last night, and now the time is only six o'clock, Wu Ming only slept for three hours before and after, Sun Chengyuan wanted him to sleep a little longer, so he didn't wake up.
"Remember, if there is anything important in the future, you must notify me as soon as possible"
Wu Ming's tone was a little heavier, he knew that Sun Chengyuan was completely out of good intentions, but now that the war between China and Japan is getting more and more intense, any slight changes in the front line may affect the development of the overall battle situation, Wu Ming must understand and make a judgment in time, and he must be responsible for the safety of all the personnel of the new Second Division.
Half an hour later, the train pulled into Xiaoshan Railway Station.
Wu Ming got off the train with the main generals of the division headquarters, and several soldiers wearing air force uniforms walked on the platform, headed by General Zhou Zhirou, director of the First Department of the Aviation Committee and director of education of the Air Force Officer Academy.
Zhou Zhirou walked quickly to Wu Ming and greeted him: "Brother, it's finally time for you!"
"Brother, how can I ask you to bend down to pick up the car? The little brother came to visit" Wu Ming hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Zhirou's outstretched hand.
After shaking hands, Zhou Zhirou hugged Wu Ming vigorously, then let go, looked at Wu Ming twice, nodded and said: "I haven't seen you for two years, my brother has seen the spirit, you have helped my brother a lot, if it weren't for the report on the advanced fighters of the European and American powers you submitted, as well as the analysis of the future situation, where could our air force buy the advanced fighters of the Germans?" ”
Wu Ming suddenly became interested, and asked softly: "Brother, the fighter plane purchased from Germany has been shipped back to China?" ”
Zhou Zhirou smiled mysteriously, poked her head out and whispered in Wu Ming's ear: "It's all at Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport now...... Pilots are trying to adapt and it won't be long before they'll be able to take to the skies."
"Good...... Brother, can I go and see it? ”
For the most advanced Hfl09 fighter and 87 bomber in the world, Wu Ming really wants to see it with his own eyes, after all, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, Wu Ming has not had close contact with combat aircraft, especially whether the air force is strong or not is directly related to the next Songhu battle of the new Second Division, so he can't afford not to pay attention to it.
"That's what I'm here for, and you can't go if you don't go...... However, you can only bring two or three people, otherwise I will not be able to explain to all aspects," Zhou Zhirou said with a smile.
Wu Ming nodded. He understood what Zhou Zhirou meant, and now the Hfl09 fighter and 87 bomber imported from Germany were regarded as baby bumps by the Air Force, and Zhou Zhirou wanted to surprise the Japanese army and navy air force head-on, and secrecy was a must.
Wu Ming left Zhang Dongning with the staff officers of the division's staff office and logistics office to distribute the breakfast and combat materials sent by the Xiaoshan military station, and waited for the ferry to cross the river, while he took Dai Ziran, Luo Yuming, Yang Sixian and other generals to follow Zhou Zhirou to Xiaoshan County to enjoy breakfast.
When he came to the century-old Gongxiulou Hotel, and saw the sumptuous breakfast that was full of them, Wu Ming shook his head and said to Zhou Zhirou: "Brother is bothered"
"Sit down and eat and say, I'll take you to see our fighter plane when I go back" Zhou Zhirou smiled slightly, patted the chair, and said to Wu Ming and the generals beside him: "Everyone sit casually, don't be polite"
Wu Ming sat next to Zhou Zhirou as a matter of course.
Zhou Zhirou picked up a cup of tea, turned his head, and said to Wu Ming: "If you want to say thank you, in fact, it should be my brother Xie Lu Xie You, you have made great efforts to buy fighter planes, the Aviation Committee has built a military airport in Quzhou, and the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, which is responsible for the construction, not only did not cut corners, but also posted a lot of ...... The person stationed in Quzhou told my brother that our air force has received a great favor from my brother. Come, brother replaces wine with tea, toast you"
Zhou Zhirou's words are sincere and sincere.
After all, businessmen are naturally profit-seeking, and the envisaged Quzhou airfield is not only small in scale, but also has poor facilities, and the runway can only take off and land light fighters, and bombers can only be stationed at other airfields.
However, after the official start of construction, it was beyond everyone's expectations, such as the purchase of reinforced concrete and other building materials, the air force only gave 200,000 yuan, but the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce pulled back 400,000 yuan worth of materials, and the progress of the project was also tightened.
Now that the completion of the Quzhou Military Airport is imminent, the person in charge has found that this airport, which has a total cost of only 500,000 oceans, will definitely be better than Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport after completion. It is important to know that Nanjing, as the capital of the Republic of China, Dajiaochang Airport is the face of the central government, and two million oceans have been specially allocated for this purpose.
When the person in charge reported the situation to Zhou Zhirou, Zhou Zhirou naturally counted the matter on Wu Ming's head.
Wu Ming waved his hand and said disapprehantly: "Quzhou is the station of our new Second Division, the foundation of our new Second Division is in Quzhou, and the airport, as an important military facility, plays the role of protecting the blue sky for the soldiers in wartime. We help the Air Force, in fact, for ourselves...... Brother, you said yes, right? ”
Zhou Zhirou couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and admired Wu Ming more and more in her heart.
Originally, as long as these construction projects were done a little bit of manipulation, there would be a lot of money in the account, but Wu Ming not only endured it, but also posted money to build it, which is really not comparable to those corrupt officials who are vegetarian and vegetarian.
Wu Ming picked up the tea, touched it with Zhou Zhirou, and then said: "Brother, if you want, I can also configure some anti-aircraft guns for the Quzhou military airport, so that even if the devil fighter attacks, we are not without the power to fight back." ”
Zhou Zhirou looked at Wu Ming movingly, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Brother, you have solved my brother's urgent need."
After breakfast, Wu Ming took Dai Ziran, Lu Kuiyuan and Sun Chengyuan, followed Zhou Zhirou into the car, and went straight to Jianqiao Airport in the east of Hangzhou.
