For Yang Zhen's assurance, this time I witnessed him at the negotiation table this time, arguing with the chairman of the table. did not answer immediately, but quietly smoked a cigarette, and then looked at Yang Zhen with a lightning-like gaze for a long time before saying, "I believe in your promise, and I believe in your ability." ”

"But we have to pay attention to the methods and strategies, and we still don't want to be too rigid with the Americans at the moment. There are some issues that we must persist in struggle, but there are also some problems that require a certain strategy. We must do our best to do a good job of unity, but we must not give up the struggle, but still more we must adhere to our own principles. ”

"Remember one sentence, foreign aid can be sought, but the foothold should still be on our self-reliance and hard work. With a certain amount of foreign aid, we can indeed get twice the result with half the effort. But even without foreign aid, we have to build our own modern industry. ”

"Only when we dare to meet the challenges and difficulties of a qiē will we completely defeat the enemy of a qiē. This is true of a person, a country, and a nation in the process of development and growth. We can't walk like a woman with small feet, all the time with care. ”

"In some aspects, we must dare to make great strides forward and dare to face difficulties. I don't believe it, without them Americans, these Zhang butchers, we have to eat hairy pigs? As long as we base ourselves on the eight words of self-reliance and hard work, no difficulties will be difficult for us. ”

Although he was stared at by the chairman like lightning, he felt a little hairy in his heart. But the meaning behind the chairman's words, Yang Zhen, who understood it, nodded slightly. He knew that the chairman had not yet given up convincing himself and had done his best to concentrate his vital forces to launch a general offensive against South Manchuria and seize the industrial base in South Manchuria. In order to speed up the industrial process of the entire Northeast and prepare for the future.

Regarding the chairman's thoughts and determination, Yang Zhen could only smile bitterly in his heart. Even in the face of this great man, there is no way to say many things to him, and he can only suppress these things in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen finally nodded, indicating that he obeyed the opinions of the central government.

And during Yang Zhen's stay in the center, the Americans significantly accelerated the speed of mobilizing aviation forces to North Manchuria. However, compared with those bombers with amazing ranges, the C47 transport planes that carried US ground crew, navigation personnel, and a large number of combat materials were much worse.

Although most of them take off from the airfields of the 14th Air Force of the US Army such as Kunming, Chengdu and Chongqing, the range is much closer than those of the bombers that take off from India. However, these packed transport planes can only continue to fly to North Manchuria after refueling in Datong and Zhangjiakou respectively.

The Americans' transfer to Beiman this time also fully took into account the thoughts and feelings of Chongqing. All the fleets that needed to transit were carefully avoided in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, as well as the central cities of Taiyuan and Beiping. Instead, they chose Datong and Zhangjiakou, whose goals were not so obvious, to carry out landing refueling.

At the same time, it increased military aid to Chongqing, as the British and American forces had already invaded Burma. This time, the Chongqing side was given weapons and equipment for thirteen divisions at one time. Moreover, in addition to the replacement of rifles with Chuntian rifles, the heavy weapons and communications equipment in this batch of equipment are all weapons that are coordinated according to the standards of the US military.

The British also gave 2,000 Stern submachine guns and 100,000 British uniforms at one time. A batch of German-made 79 bullets captured in Sicily and the Italian mainland were transported from Italy to India and handed over to Chongqing. And speed up the supervision of the Canadian arsenal to complete the manufacture of the 79-caliber Bren light machine gun produced by the Chongqing side.

Regarding the US military's means of trying to cover up, Yang Zhen just smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, even if the US military does not do this, he will not allow the US military aircraft group to transfer to northern Shaanxi. The relocation of the central authorities to Beiping has just begun, and at this time, the US military aircraft fleet will pass through the airspace over Yan'an, which will pose a great threat to the relocation of the central authorities.

In particular, Yan'an Airport is the only airport in northern Shaanxi that can take off and land large aircraft, and it is extremely busy because of the central government's moving action. At this time, the Americans are participating in the merger, which will delay the relocation of the central government, and the sudden influx of so many US troops is also very detrimental to the security of the central government.

Moreover, barren northern Shaanxi cannot afford to supply so many American troops. Even if it is the burden required for the transit of the US military, it can bankrupt the economy of northern Shaanxi at one time. At present, the Americans chose Datong and Zhangjiakou by themselves, and brought their own supplies, but they avoided Yang Zhen's trouble.

At the same time that a large number of bombers and transport planes of the US army arrived at the Jiamusi and Yanji advance bases in the base areas of the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Alliance. The U.S. military escorted these B-29 bombers that attacked Japan, using P-51B and D-type fighters. As well as the P-38 fighter group defending the airfield, it also arrived in North Manchuria one after another.

In order to avoid interference from certain quarters, the US Army Air Corps aircraft group, which is well aware of China's domestic political situation, was transferred this time, except for the fact that it was loaded with transport planes with a slightly shorter range at full load and landed in Datong and Zhangjiakou for refueling on the way. The rest of the bombers and fighters all flew directly from India to Zhangjiakou or North Manchuria.

The performance of the US military aircraft fleet in this transition process, although for Yang Zhen, does not mean much. Especially for those B-29 bombers, Yang Zhen didn't think too much. However, among the fleet of planes transferred by the US military, there was one plane that aroused Yang Zhen's great interest.

This is the P61B night fighter squadron equipped with the 426th Night Fighter Squadron, which is responsible for the night air defense of the airport, during this US military transfer. This kind of aircraft and fuselage are equipped with the most outstanding airborne interception radar during the entire World War II, two engines with excellent performance, and although it is still very primitive, it is already the most advanced fire control system at the moment, which Yang Zhen values very much.

After receiving the photos sent by the intelligence department of the North Manchurian Air Force, Yang Zhen instructed the intelligence department and the air force to find a way to get this plane. Even if you can't get a complete plane, a wreckage can. Don't do anything else, the engines on this plane, especially the on-board radar and fire control system, you have to get your hands on it by all means.

Yang Zhen attaches great importance to this kind of aircraft, even above the B-29 bomber. Yang Zhen didn't care much about the plane itself, as far as he knew, although this kind of aircraft had relatively advanced performance, it was not in service for long in the U.S. military because its performance was too simple. But the radar and fire control system on the plane are what Yang Zhen values the most.

For the anti-coalition air force, this order was given by Yang Zhen for the first time since they began to deal directly with the Americans. However, Yang Zhen, who also knew that it was not appropriate to be too stiff with the Americans at the moment, did not urge. Just tell the air and intelligence services that they can get their hands on these planes before the US military withdraws them.

Yang Zhen's order made Chen Long, who knew that there was no room for bargaining in order No. 1, and the aviation troops were under considerable pressure. How to complete the task assigned by No. 1, Chen Long and the aviation can be said to have racked their brains. And after Yang Zhen gave this order, he did not rush to return.

During the arrival of the US bomber group preparing to participate in the air raid on Japan, Yang Zhen had several long late-night talks with the chairman after several more late night talks. Wilson, who was making excuses not to return to Beiman and wandering around Yan'an all day long, posing that he would not get Yang Zhen back, and was always uneasy, was constantly urged. Only then did he take the car unhurriedly, passing through Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe, all the way back to the headquarters of the Harbin Anti-Japanese Federation.

Although Yang Zhen chose to return to Beiman by land, instead of choosing a faster air route, he was very dissatisfied. But since Yang Zhen has made up his mind, knowing that the old friend in front of him, Wilson, who is difficult to convince, is not easy to say.

However, Yang Zhen didn't worry about this guy, he followed him all the way through, and now he has become the base behind enemy lines in the entire North China, Suiyuan, Chahar and Rehe in the rear. resolutely refused this guy's request to go with him, and threw him directly on the plane in Yan'an.

It was only after the plane took off that he took off in a jeep with a platoon of guards, escorted by two armored cars. In addition to the chairman, who knew what he was thinking, the central leaders were puzzled, and slowly returned to Beiman by land.

In fact, Wilson didn't know that Yang Zhen didn't want to fly directly to Harbin. It is because he wants to be alone and quiet and think about the conversation with the chairman these days, and the overall strategy of the next step of the Anti-Japanese Federation. It is fast to take a plane, but Yang Zhen knows that once he returns to Harbin, it will be difficult for him to calm down and think about the problem.

Anyway, I carried a radio car along the way, so it was convenient to keep in touch with the central government and the headquarters. I don't have to choose to return by land this time, it will affect my work. Therefore, he chose to return to the Northeast by land, rather than taking the plane that had already arrived in Yan'an.

As for the C47 transport plane, which flew from the northeast to Yan'an and came to greet him with a high-power radio station and could keep in touch with all sides during the flight, he left it for the chairman and the central authorities to use. Even after assisting the central government to complete the relocation, he did not return to Beiping.

Yang Zhen and his entourage set out from Yan'an via Yanchuan, crossed the Wuding River from the Suide line, went east along the line of the Outer Great Wall through Mizhi and Yulin, and entered Shanxi through Shenmu to reach Long Beach. After arriving in Shanxi, Yang Zhen did not cross the Yellow River on the spot at Long Beach. Instead, it went directly north into Suiyuan and crossed the Yellow River from the line of Lama Bay.

After passing through Liangcheng, Fengzhen and Jining, go north, enter Chahar through Tumutai and go north, go around after arriving at the border between China and Mongolia, and then turn east after going south from Ming'an to Jiabu Temple. Through Baokang, Shilangcheng and Duolun, enter the Rehe River and cross Chifeng, pass through Xiaohala Road and Kailu, and arrive at Tongliao, a major town in Ximan.

When the convoy drove into Tongliao City, Yang Zhen, who basically closed his eyes and rarely spoke along the way. It's like finally making up your mind on something, suddenly opening your eyes. Directly told the staff officers around him, and informed Tongliao Station to prepare immediately, and he was going to change to a train in Tongliao to return to Harbin.

But don't prepare a special train, just add two cars to the train from Tongliao back to Harbin. It doesn't matter if it's a truck or a bus, or a stuffy tanker, but it must be fast. When the staff officer asked whether to transfer a plane over, Yang Zhen did not agree and insisted on taking the train.

Yang Zhen was extremely rare to take the train back to Harbin, and the staff officers who received the notice did not dare to slack off, and immediately contacted the personnel of the Military Management Commission at Tongliao Station to attach two train cars and a flatbed car to a passenger car that was about to return to Harbin. And when Yang Zhen was pedaling, the guards were strictly arranged.

Although Yang Zhen is not a picky eater, it doesn't matter if he takes a stuffy tanker, but where will the military management committee below really add two stuffy tankers according to his requirements? Although he did not dare to be too extravagant because of the repeated admonitions of the staff officers who were familiar with Yang Zhen's habits, two passenger carriages and a flatbed car for carrying communication vehicles were also added
