Chapter 1197 From the rear to the front

"Report to the division commander, Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flight Group of the Independent Division's Air Force, lead the escort group, report to you, please instruct!" Le Yiqin looked at Tang Qiuli's special plane, and said with a trembling voice, Obviously, Qing Xù was very excited.

Tang Qiuli's heart, a warm current surged through, the concern of the old subordinates was not only a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also a kind of brotherly affection in it, "Yiqin, with you in the sky, I am completely relieved, but it's too exaggerated, right?" You got all the belongings of the Southern Flying Group to the sky, didn't you make the Japanese angry? ”

Le Yiqin laughed embarrassedly, "I still can't hide it from the division commander, if the little devil dares to fly to the sky to find trouble, I will simply take their bullshit Yulin base, if it weren't for the special order of the division commander to take action against the Japanese airfield for the time being, it would be impossible to see the little devil's plane in the sky over the South China Sea." ”

For four or five days, none of the senior generals of the independent division who remained in Myitkyina did not know what kind of tricks the Americans would play, and no one knew that the division commander would go to Manila, and he would be in danger alone, and any accident could happen, and Tang Qiusheng, who took over the command of Tang Qiuli, could not sleep well every day.

On the one hand, to appease the generals, and on the other hand, to pay attention to the situation in Manila, he ordered Yang Ketian, chief of staff, to report all the situation of the division commander in Manila more than three times a day, and to turn on the contact radio station 24 hours a day.

Receiving the news that he was about to return to China, Tang Qiusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, he came back safely, he knew this younger brother too well, the arrogance in his bones, when it came to the dignity of the country and the nation, he would never give in.

But the Americans were so enthusiastic, but it saved a lot of trouble, escorted by the American Air Force, others didn't say anything, Boss Le Yiqin was not satisfied, he found Tang Qiusheng, "Deputy division commander, let the Yankees escort the escort, why don't I have a bottom in my heart?" The Americans don't play any tricks, do they? ”

Tang Qiusheng looked at Le Yiqin and handed him Tang Qiuli's telegram, after reading it, Le Yiqin stopped talking, Tang Qiusheng ordered: "Yiqin, according to the order of the division commander, your air force will take over the US escort aircraft group on the middle line of the South China Sea, until the division commander lands safely at Kunming Airport, the specific deployment, you are an expert, I will not interfere too much, just remind one point, the Japanese will not give up, to ensure the safety of the division commander, is the first, you go and prepare!" ”

According to his thoughts, the two air battles a few days ago had already terrified the little devil's air force and greatly damaged its vitality, and the large aircraft group of several hundred fighter planes was overwhelming, even scaring the little devil half to death.

This is what I want, knowing that the division commander passed over the heads of the Japanese, I can only watch with my eyes helpless, the disparity in power, the little bit of family background in the Japanese Southeast Asian dispatch army at the moment, is not enough to plug the gap between my teeth, Ito understands this, and the commander of the Japanese air force, Lieutenant General Nomura, also understands this.

Although they knew that the group of planes flying in the dark in the sky was the escort group of Tang Qiuli's special plane, and the Japanese could only be on the ground, watching with their eyes blank, not long after the arrival of the escort group of Le Yiqin, Yang Yongtai's escort group also arrived.

There are only eight old fighters that are obviously behind the aviation of the independent division, and the fighters equipped with half generations of fighters rushed over with fear, and the fighters of the independent division covered the sky in front of them dazzled and dazzled several fighter pilots of the Central Army.

Speaking from the heart, after receiving the order to escort the convoy, these eight pilots of the Central Army even wrote a suicide note, who does not know that the sky over the South China Sea is the world of the Japanese, and these few slow-moving fighters flying in the airspace of the Japanese are no different from suicide, and when they see the fleet of the independent division air force, their hearts have settled down, and at the very least, there will be no danger.

At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Qiuli's special plane landed at Kunming Airport without any danger, in addition to the two special planes at the time of going, there was also a special guest's special plane, which also landed at Kunming Airport at the same time, that is, Yang Yongtai's special plane.

But Tang Qiuli was warmly invited, Yang Yongtai couldn't shirk it, along the way, it was borrowed from other people's lights that he returned safely, and it was not good to insist too much, besides, looking at Tang Qiuli's posture of escorting fighter groups, if his special plane did not land in Kunming, I am afraid that it would not be able to fly off at all, and it was a semi-kidnapping.

Tang Qiuli asked Yang Yongtai to land in Kunming together, and he had his own plans, and the Americans pinched their noses and signed a war agreement against Japan, making it silent, and trying to downplay the attitude of the United States toward Japan, but Tang Qiuli didn't want MacArthur to pass the test so easily.

Before leaving Manila, he had already ordered Shen Jun and Yu Deshui to hold a press conference according to the scale of the time they went, and to invite as many foreign reporters as possible, even if Japanese reporters wanted to come, they were strongly welcomed, which was Tang Qiuli's original words in the telegram to Shen Jun and Yu Deshui.

Speaking alone, not convincing enough, just right, Yang Yongtai returned together, then I'm sorry, accompany me to finish singing this play, whether you Yang Yongtai agrees or not, you have to stay in Kunming for one night, if you want to go, even if you make a forced landing, you will be put on the ground, Le Yiqin understood and specially arranged sixteen fighter jets, close to Yang Yongtai's special plane, in the name of protection, but in fact, he was afraid that he would run away halfway.

Tang Qiu got off the plane, didn't even take a breath, and drove directly to the press conference, Yang Yongtai had to pinch his nose and follow behind reluctantly, with Yang Yongtai's shrewdness, how could he not guess Tang Qiuli's intentions, but he was helpless.

The scene of the press conference was quite hot, including foreign reporters, there were hundreds of people, and the conference room was packed, Tang Qiuli was not polite, he came up to report on the situation of the highest military meeting of the Allied forces in Manila, and then took out the agreement.

Needless to say, the agreement in black and white was a testament to the fact that Chairman Chiang's special representative, Yang Yongtai, who was by Tang Qiu's side, can further prove the reliability of this matter, and tomorrow, the major newspapers in various localities and countries will certainly publish articles in this regard in their entirety.

Tang Qiuli couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth on the way back to his residence, tomorrow, there will be a few people who are troubled, one is MacArthur, the other is probably Emperor Hirohito, or in other words, the whole of Japan has to be troubled, even if on the surface, the US-Japan relationship still maintains the status quo, behind the scenes, with the suspicious character of the Japanese, can they not be extremely wary of the Americans?

Mutual distrust and suspicion are inevitable reactions, Tang Qiuli planted a few thorns one after another, the effect will gradually appear, the Americans and the Japanese will fight, inevitable, and, will be advanced, therefore, Tang Qiuli was in a very happy mood, personally sent Yang Yongtai to the hotel where he stayed, and then returned to his residence.

He only stayed in Kunming for one night, and the next day, Tang Qiuli hurried to Mogok in Burma with the mountain tigers and the special guards, Manila made such a big movement, the Japanese could not have reacted, when he was in Manila, he had already received a telegram from Tang Qiusheng, "The Japanese army under Ito has not made any major moves in the near future, and in our rear, the line of communication from Myitkyina to Mogok has been repeatedly harassed by unknown armed forces, and I have ordered the Sulu Mobile Corps to transfer a brigade of troops to increase the protection of the line of communication." ”

Tang Qiuli was very puzzled, unidentified armed? In Burma, in addition to the Japanese army, that is, their own troops, I have not heard of the existence of the third force, these armed forces are strange, specifically aimed at the traffic line, if it is bandits and stragglers, it is not a concern, but in case it is a sabotage force sent by Ito, the problem is worth pondering.

Does this mean that Ito is going to take a large-scale military operation in the near future, first destroying his own logistics supply lines, Ito, this guy, can't fight hard head-on, and he starts to play shady tricks, Tang Qiuli is almost certain that these unidentified armed forces must be Japanese, and in Burma, only the Japanese dare to fight the idea of independent division troops.

In Brother Qiusheng's telegram, there was no explanation of what the effect would be after sending troops, which shows that the small units sent out by Ito to attack the logistics supply line of his troops this time are very experienced veterans, and this is the main reason why Tang Qiuli hurriedly returned to the front line of Mogok, and the contest with Ito has extended from the front line to the rear, which is a new form of combat.

Despite Mei Xue's reluctance, Tang Qiuli still forcibly left her in Kunming, because the Japanese army attacked and harassed the troops, frequently appearing between Myitkyina and Mogok, this road has become unsafe, how could Tang Qiuli let Mei Xue, who had just recovered from her injuries, once again be in danger, looking at Mei Xue's reluctant gaze, Tang Qiuli hardened his heart and left without looking back.

The car drove far away, Tang Qiuli could still see Mei Xue's vague figure, and felt her burning gaze, which was so hot that he felt distressed, and the convoy left Kunming and went straight to Myitkyina.
