Despite the infinite anger in her heart, Ouyang Huizi did not lose her mind. She made a variety of budgets for the Sino-US joint airport, but several plans were ruled out by herself.
Send someone to assassinate? No, not to mention that the pilots themselves are soldiers, vigilant and heavily guarded, and even if they can successfully assassinate one or two Chinese and American pilots, it will not help, and it will hardly have any impact on the overall situation.
Destruction of airports? I'm afraid not, the airfield is heavily guarded and constructed, and unless it is covered with a large number of aviation* or large-caliber shells, it will not cause any fundamental damage at all; Besides, won't people repair it after the destruction?
After thinking about it, Ouyang Huizi didn't have an idea in his mind that could be safe. She rubbed her temples, trying to keep her head awake.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a man on duty walked in and said, "Chief Keiko, Mr. Kikuchi is back." ”
"Kikuchi-kun! You're back. Ouyang Huizi swept away the melancholy just now, and said with a smile to the Kikuchi Shunichi who was wearing a short shirt and dressed like a Chinese peasant.
"Hayi!" Kikuchi leaned on his heels and bowed. Then he walked to Ouyang Huizi's desk, picked up a pot of tea that had been cold, and drank it with a clatter.
After a hearty drink, Kikuchi put down the kettle and wiped the water stuck to his mouth with his sleeve, "I'm sorry, Chief Keiko, I was a little out of shape just now." These days, in order to return, I have always dressed up as a beggar, afraid to take the main road, and finally got mixed in an ox cart to break through the blockade. If I hadn't run into one of our people at the door just now, I'm afraid the guards would have kicked me out. ”
Ouyang Huizi naturally understood his pride, not to mention that it was extraordinary for him to go with makeup alone, and the hardships and hardships could naturally be imagined.
However, Kikuchi feels quite proud, Kikuchi knows some Chinese, but after all, it is not a Chinese expert like Tufeiyuan, with the continuation of the Anti-Japanese War, all kinds of Chinese spies originally cultivated by the Japanese side have almost been strangled by the Reserve Cadre Department and other parties, and now the remaining intelligence proficient people are nothing more than some temporarily trained personnel in the mainland, not to mention that the four major intelligence agencies of Meilan Zhuju have been carved up, and what can be left for Ouyang Huizi is just some rookies, like Kikuchi who can understand Chinese, It's already a rarity.
Kikuchi naturally lived up to it
On this trip, he could only pretend to be dumb and mingle in the ranks of beggars, and only by inquiring and saying a few words of information could he get some useful information, for which he waited for several days in front of the Suzhou railway station, in order to find the Americans to get off from here as soon as possible.
Doolittle was targeted by him as soon as he got out of the car that day, and he didn't care at first, because Doolittle was dressed in civilian clothes and was just a person. Although there were officers who came to greet them, it was probably a private party or something.
But after looking at it, he decided to follow. In the end, after determining the direction of the other party's heading to the airport, he ran to a nearby high place to find out the location and basic framework of the airport. It is not a good idea to be able to accomplish such a task under such circumstances.
Kikuchi then took out a map he had drawn from the mezzanine of the collar of his clothes, and handed it to Ouyang Huizi with a smile on his face.
Ouyang Huizi was overjoyed when she saw it, "Is this the map of Suzhou Military Airport?" ”
"Yes, I drew it myself." Kikuchi said proudly. After saying that, he felt that he remembered something again, and said, "Oh, and this." ”
Kikuchi handed over the fiat currency that Huang Zheng gave him, and he smiled helplessly: "I didn't know these banknotes used by the government at first, but later I learned that these banknotes can also be circulated in Shanghai." ”
Ouyang Huizi naturally recognized that this was the legal tender issued by the Nanjing government before the war, referred to as legal tender. To be honest, this currency played a great role in stabilizing the economic order and achieving economic unification throughout the country. However, with the defeat of the Nanjing government, there was some depreciation. Now it is said that it has risen again, and even in the Japanese-occupied areas, the liquidity is very strong, and it is better than the central reserve bonds issued by the Wang Jingwei regime.
"Okay, Kikuchi-kun has worked hard! Go and get some rest, and I'll report what you get. After Ouyang Huizi and Kikuchi bowed slightly, Kikuchi walked out.
Ouyang Huizi walked to her desk, put away the map handed over by Kikuchi, she took a few fiat coins on the table and looked at it, an evil thought germinated in her heart.
……
Time marched forward day by day, into the furnace of June. At this time, the U.S. military defeated the Japanese Navy at Midway, successfully reversing the situation of the war in the Pacific, and the relieved U.S. Navy began to prepare for a counteroffensive against Japan. In order to improve the self-confidence of the people, Huang Ke and Roosevelt discussed and decided that the Sino-US joint bomber group would launch a bombing campaign on the Japanese mainland in the near future.
In order for the bomber groups on the Chinese battlefield to play a certain role, it was necessary to open the Yunnan-Burma road. After the Battle of Ren'anqiang, Sun Liren commanded the expeditionary force to simply leave aside the British army, and the large army gathered in Tonggu, preparing to start a desperate battle with the Japanese army's southern army.
At this time, Stilwell, the chief of staff of the Allied Forces, saw that the Chinese Expeditionary Force was highly motivated, so he no longer adhered to the previous plan of the battle of Mandalay, and agreed to Sun Liren's plan for the battle of Tonggu.
At this point, the 50,000 people of the 1st Army of the Expeditionary Force began to assemble on the Tonggu line. With Stilwell's support, U.S. aid and transportation forces were also used to allocate the expeditionary force.
On the highway leading to Tonggu, there is an unprecedented magnificent spectacle. Dodge ten-wheelers towing large-caliber guns, half-tracked armored vehicles full of soldiers, and rocket artillery vehicles covered in canvas form a long line.
The officers and soldiers also dressed differently because of the large amount of American aid they received. They all wore canvas jackets and tops, high-top cowhide boots on their feet, wore steel helmets or domestic jungle hats, chewed gum, and held American-style *, *, not to mention their combat effectiveness, even this momentum is much better than those short Japanese troops pushing bicycles and those British troops wearing and urine shells.
At this time, dozens of war eagles of the Sino-US Joint Air Force transferred from Kunming swept overhead, and these young men of the Flying Tigers deliberately lowered their altitude when they flew over the expeditionary force, and even came to an all-through field in an open place, and the formation group composed of P-40 and Lightning 3 roared past, blowing away the jungle hats on the heads of many people, and the officers and men hurriedly covered the hats on their heads and cursed, but in this laughter and scolding, no matter how you listen to it, it is a kind of pride.
Yes, I have been bullied by the Japanese for too long, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, China has been struggling to support, Nanjing was besieged for more than three months, and hundreds of thousands of brothers fought bloodily to defeat the Japanese army.
This time he went to the front, Sun Liren did not go with the team. He stayed in Mandalay, where there was to be a ceremony to reward the soldiers who had rescued the British at Ringanqiang.
Regiment commander Liu Fangwu was naturally among the commendations, but when the headquarters issued the commendation list, they were surprised to find that among the commended personnel was the name of the deputy regiment commander Lin Zhangyan, and his commendation also surpassed the regiment commander Liu Fangwu, and wrote in the commendation order: "Commend Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zhangyan for his heroic command and leading the way in the Battle of Ren'anqiang."
Mu Dan finally understood why the people in the regiment were disgusted with Lin Zhangyan, and dared to feel that this was a master who took the lead in leading the army. If other people are commended, it doesn't matter, at most it is an unfair distribution of credit, but this Deputy Regiment Commander Lin has not even been on the battlefield for a day, and he can appear among the commended personnel in a grand manner, which is really a great shame!
Mu Dan took the list of commendation orders and angrily found the head of the regiment, Liu Fangwu. Liu Fangwu had already led his troops to withdraw from Ren'anqiang at this time, and other troops had taken over his defense, and he was standing at the table, discussing with the staff officers the distribution of new reinforcements to the troops.
In the first battle of Ren'anqiang, although the 3rd Regiment won a lot of victories, it also suffered a lot of losses. The casualties and wounded of the whole regiment reached a third, and the loss of equipment was even greater.
After the withdrawal to Mandalay, the troops began to replenish and briefly repair. I heard that although the soldiers who were replenished this time were all new recruits, they could be mainly young people with knowledge, and I believe that they could learn modern equipment more quickly. Regiment Commander Liu was very happy, and followed the battalion commanders below and the regimental staff officers to discuss how to distribute.
"Captain Liu." Mu Dan walked in with a cold face.
When Liu Fangwu saw him coming in, he hurriedly beckoned: "Staff officer Cha, it's just right to come, come and help me take a look, these people write good English, do you say that you want to stay at the regiment headquarters as a translator, or send it to the grassroots troops?" ”
As he spoke, he took a few copies of the personnel qualifications and handed them to Mu Dan's hand.
"I'll tell you the truth, I really don't want you to go. However, your brother is the translator of the headquarters, so naturally he will not stay here for long, I think we will definitely have to deal with the British and Americans, and the regimental headquarters will have to leave a few translators who can speak English. Liu Fangwu pinched his cigarette and said to himself.
"Commander." Mu Dan put down the qualifications in his hand and said in an urgent tone: "Deputy Head Lin has been rewarded this time, and there are more commendation projects than you. ”
Liu Fangwu looked surprised, "I know this." ”
"Do you know why you're still sitting here? Go to the headquarters and explain the situation. Mu Dan was so anxious that he couldn't understand why Liu Fangwu was like this?
Liu Fangwu waved his hand, "Forget it, let him go." People are here to gild, and after receiving this military merit, they must be going back to China. Forget it. ”
"If you don't go, I'll go!" After Mu Dan finished speaking, he threw off his arms and walked towards the headquarters.
Liu Fangwu hurriedly stopped him.
