At about 8:30 a.m., at the airfield on the north side of the east side of San Francisco, five reconnaissance planes rose into the air with the roar of motors. Gao Xiang, the commander of the newly formed Marine Corps, stood on the tarmac with his whole body draped and watched the reconnaissance plane soar into the sky. According to the order of the command, the land air force should meet the maximum of 60 fighters, and at present, 30 fighters, including 5 reconnaissance planes, are deployed at the northern airfield. The Maritime Fighter Factory is working non-stop to assemble aircraft to meet the needs of land operations.

Assembling a land combat aircraft is slightly different from a carrier-based aircraft, where the wings can be lengthened, which increases lift and makes it easier to carry more bombs. In addition, the tail has been slightly modified to increase the agility and maneuverability of the fighter. Gao Xiang was appointed captain of the Marine Air Corps, and his subordinates were from reserve pilots. At this time, all the pilots and crews of the fighters were neatly draped and gathered on the tarmac ready to go for the battle. The command ordered them to dispatch US reinforcements as soon as they found them, and to use air strikes to intercept US reinforcements and ensure the smooth progress of the grain seizure operation.

Gao Xiang himself did not expect that after stepping on land as the captain of the army aviation group, it would be convenient for him to say goodbye to the sea from then on, and he never returned to the aircraft carrier battleship. At this moment, Gao Xiang looked up at the eastern sky, waiting a little urgently. "Captain, the reconnaissance plane from the northeast is back." One of the pilots shouted. Gao Xiang glanced at his watch and said, "I came back in less than 20 minutes, indicating that there is a situation in the northeast." All pay attention: immediately enter the fighter plane and stand by to attack at any time. Immediately, the pilots and crew members who were on standby on the lawn immediately ran to the fighter plane, and the ground crew also took their places.

After the reconnaissance plane landed and came to a standstill. The pilot climbed out of the cabin and jumped off the plane, and immediately ran to Gao Xiang to report: "Report to the team leader, a large number of US military convoys have been found in the northeast. Advancing towards Orran. The location of the US reinforcements is about 20 kilometers from Auckland. "Immediately report to the headquarters that US reinforcements have been found northeast of Auckland, and our team will attack!" After Gao Xiang finished speaking, he immediately ran to the fighter. As the fighters took off one after another, Gao Xiang first led 10 fighters in the air formation, and then immediately flew to the northeast.

About 10 kilometers from Auckland, Gao Xiang saw a convoy on the road from the air. The railroads in the United States are well-developed and the transportation is fast. And yet. With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the highway has also formed a scale in the past two years. When the United States developed its western region, it formed highways extending in all directions. Although these roads are not concrete, asphalt roads, they are dirt roads. Even the sandy roads provide the conditions for a rapid response for the maneuver of the US military. Gao Xiang saw the US convoy in the air and immediately took the lead in attacking.

The U.S. military spotted a warplane in the sky. The convoy immediately stopped advancing. The US officers and men quickly got out of the car and evacuated, and the highway was in chaos. The target of the attack was naturally a truck on the road, and the land planes could carry 40 25-pound aerial bombs, and the natural bombing intensity was increased by 3 percent. Fighter planes dive and drop bombs, almost like a military exercise. Dense bombs fell on the road, and the smoke from the explosion formed puffs of smoke. Soon, Gao Xiang pulled up the nose of the plane, and the crew behind told him. All the bombs were dropped. Looking at the masterpiece of the air raid, Gao Xiang hovered in the air. Wait for the other fighters to rain down all the bombs.

The 65th Brigade of the U.S. People's Army was the first time to see an enemy fighter plane, and it was also the first time to suffer such a blow. In a forest on the side of the road, the fat US brigade commander looked at the sky in horror, panting heavily, obviously running too fast when he fled the highway just now. The chief of staff said worriedly: "General, no wonder our air force has been wiped out, and now we have truly seen what the devil in the air is." Compared to this, our fighters are simply toys. ”

"Order the troops to hide quickly and not to run around." As soon as the US brigade commander gave the order, a violent explosion was heard on the highway, and a truck was torn apart, and debris and smoke flew in the air. "It's an ammunition truck!" The chief of staff exclaimed. "Recapturing the dock and burning the grain, the command is also too naïve. The enemy's plan of action was carefully prepared, and now we are unable to protect ourselves. The troops were ordered to hide in place to avoid casualties, and we went straight into the city after dark. The U.S. brigade commander snorted angrily.

The chief of staff was apprehensive: "If we enter the city without permission and disobey the order, Commander Shaq will be angry and held accountable. "Enemy aircraft are heavily attacked, and our radio station is destroyed." "General, I see what you mean."

Gao Xiang led 10 fighters to return after dropping bombs, and met the second wave of fighters on the way. It means that the second wave of air raids will start immediately, and after Gao Xiang led 10 fighters to land on the deck, the last 10 fighters rushed into the air to launch the third wave of air strikes.

When Gao Xiang launched the fourth wave of strikes and flew over the battlefield, the US troops basically grazed sheep along both sides of the road. Some US soldiers even fled several kilometers of the highway to take refuge, while the fighters continued to chase and fight fiercely. At first, the American soldiers spontaneously fired into the air, and then simply burrowed into the barley and remained silent. The vegetation on both sides of the road is lush, but the fighters are always circling in the sky looking for targets, dropping a few bombs from time to time until they are finished.

It's very lively over there, and it's very lively. The Auckland grain terminal seems to have turned into a busy freight yard. Cargo ships and transport ships lined up at the berths of the docks, all kinds of hoisting machinery were in line, and the most striking thing was that the soldiers were carrying food on their shoulders and racing to deliver food to the cargo ships. With fighter planes in the air as cover, Li Tie ordered three detachments to be on guard, and the rest of the men were all carrying food. The sailors on the transport ships and the crews of the freighters also organized themselves to join the army of transporting grain, and the wharf suddenly became a sea of labor. Preliminary estimates show that at least 5,000 people have joined the grain transport army.

The loading and unloading machinery was insufficient, and the sailors, crews, and soldiers set up a gangplank between the dock ground and the cargo ship, and then lined up in a long line to transport bags of flour and wheat onto the ship.

Li Tie put the two bags of flour on the ground, and then trotted all the way to carry them. The flour generation of the US military is 50 kilograms, and two bags are 100 kilograms. Li Tie has carried more than ten trips and carried nearly 1,000 kilograms of flour.

At the beginning, Chen Zhiqiang carried a bag of flour, and saw that the special forces were alive and well, carrying two bags of flour. He tried to resist two bags of flour, but he didn't have to go a few dozen meters before he staggered. Chen Zhiqiang gritted his teeth and persevered for more than ten meters, and fell to the ground. This kung fu Nangong just returned, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly helped Chen Zhiqiang up. "Don't do porcelain work without diamonds, see if your small body can compare with us? You can rest for a while, if you are tired, I won't be able to eat and walk around! After Nangong finished speaking, he easily put the flour on the ground on his shoulder, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

It happened that Xiao Sheng arrived with two bags of flour: "Ha Luha, the kid is tired of the bear!" Your future brother-in-law feels sorry for you, you have to appreciate it! Chen Zhiqiang's face was flushed, and he turned over and ran back. Li Tie put down the two bags of flour and raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was already half past twelve. "Tell me to go down, rest for half an hour, eat something and then do it." With the whistle, the soldiers sat on the ground in twos and threes, took out their own food and began to eat. Chen Zhiqiang's legs were sore, as if they were filled with lead, and he was weak and groggy. When I saw the compressed biscuits (for special forces) and beef jerky in front of me, I had no appetite at all. He drank a few sips of water and fell into a deep sleep.

A freighter docked, loaded with sailors. A naval officer stood in front of Li Tie: "Report to the deputy captain, Captain Ma ordered more than 500 soldiers to be transferred to the battleship and handed them over to you for command, and Captain Ma ordered that the grain on the dock must be emptied before dark." "Great, welcome." Half an hour passed quickly, and the soldiers were again engaged in the food delivery operation. At this time, Chen Zhiqiang was still drowsy, and the noisy movement did not affect him at all. Nangong was just about to step forward to wake up Chen Zhiqiang Li Tie stopped: "Don't wake him up, he's tired, let him sleep!" ”

When Chen Zhiqiang woke up, the sky was already dark, and the hot scene around him was gone. At this time, the shadow of cargo ships and transport ships was no longer visible on the dock. Several destroyers stopped at the pier one after another. Everyone staggered aboard the boat. Chen Zhiqiang got on a destroyer, and saw the special forces lying on the deck tiredly, and some of them fell asleep and made a loud nose. Nangong was examining his wounds, and his arm was visibly swollen. "Captain Nangong, I'm really sorry, I'm asleep." Chen Zhiqiang stepped forward to accost.

Nangong glanced at him without squeaking, and Li Tie walked over and said, "Chen Zhiqiang, you behaved very well today." Such a high-intensity extreme sport, we are specially trained to stand it, let alone you, so don't blame yourself. "General Li, have all the food been shipped?" "It's unbelievable that the entire dock has been emptied by us."; As soon as Li Tie's voice fell, a subordinate reported: "Report, all personnel are on board, please instruct!" "Send a report to the captain, and our department will evacuate after the last one." The battleship slowly left the dock, and there was a sound of noses on the deck.

On the battleship Baodao, Ma Kai received a report from Li Tieyu: "Division Commander Hu, order the troops on the shore to board the ship and evacuate, our mission has been completed." With so much food rushed and a guarantee to hold on to San Francisco, 501 should rest assured. Two red flares rose into the sky, and the infantry regiments that were on guard at the rear of the shore came ashore one after another, and the dark sea was illuminated with brilliant colors by the brilliantly lit warships. The waves gently lapped the side of the ship, like a rocking car, and the extremely tired soldiers and sailors seemed to show a sweet smile in their dreams.

All the cargo terminals on this side of the harbor, including the military port terminals, are piled up with grain. The grain carried here was carried by all the officers and men of the Marine Brigade, and they also completed the task excellently, ensuring that the grain transported was quickly ashore. From a distance, the mountains of grain piled up on the wharf are like undulating mountain bags, which makes people excited. On the deck of the battleship Baodao, Ma Kai, Hu Biao and others listened to the rumbling cannon sound faintly coming from the south, looked at the shining firelight, and began to worry about the war in the south. (To be continued......)

PS: There is no danger in the operation to seize food.
