1027 Rescue America – Pilots
If Kong Jie is here, he is no stranger to the so-called sticky tactics proposed by this old devil Tanabe.
Isn't it just a flexible application of the so-called magnetic tactics invented by the American general Xiao Lizi a few years later?
And just when the devil was studying how to use the so-called sticky tactics to carry out a sweep in the combat environment of the Eighth Route Army's base area.
On the other side, Zhejiang, Quzhou area.
According to the rescue mission secretly explained by Kong Jie, Duan Peng, the captain of the assault corps, and Ye Min, the deputy captain of the assault corps, personally led more than 40 members of the most elite assault corps directly under the detachment to secretly arrive near Tianmu Mountain Town.
According to the information gathered before leaving, plus some clues along the way.
Duan Peng and Ye Min were already convinced that the target that the commando team was trying to rescue this time, that is, the members of the US air team that attacked Tokyo, should have made a forced landing in this area.
The little devil also seems to have received information, and a large number of search and arrest units have also been dispatched in the past few days to search for these US pilots who have made a forced landing.
The General Headquarters of the Japanese Army in North China was dispatched.
As early as two weeks ago, when the news of the US air raid on Tokyo came.
The old devil Okamura's face turned pale, and then he scolded the United States for being despicable and arrogant, and dared to attack him directly in Kyoto, the Great Japanese Empire.
The Japanese military government was furious about this, and the people of Kyoto were affected by the disaster, accusing the military of being incompetent.
Eventually, the military determined that the U.S. pilots had struck Tokyo, escaped from the forced landing in China, and locked in the Zhejiang area.
The order was issued immediately, demanding that all parties in China send troops to join forces and ensure that all these audacity American pilots were captured.
This time, in retaliation for the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States sent a flight team to attack Tokyo and succeeded, which was a rather loud slap in the face for the Japanese army.
As far as the Japanese army is concerned, if it cannot completely wipe out this flying group and capture these pilots, Japan's international status will inevitably suffer a serious blow.
For this reason, the old devil Okamura, under the fury, immediately mobilized troops from all sides to pull a net to search for the Quzhou area, and issued an absolute order:
"According to the intelligence, there are at least dozens of pilots who fell into China by the US side this time, and we must find all of them, and we must see people alive and corpses when they die!"
…… Duan Peng and Ye Min set off very early, and after John found Kong Jie, Kong Jie reported to his superiors and sent a commando team to carry out this rescue operation.
Even so, when the assault team rushed to the Quzhou area according to the information given by Kong Jie, and with the cooperation of the local New Fourth Army troops, they searched for information everywhere, and finally rushed to the Tianmu Mountain Town area.
The Japanese army has launched a blockade outside the area to search for the American flying crew.
Originally, although the commandos were elite and very well-equipped, it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack if only 40 people wanted to find the American pilots who had dispersed and made a forced landing in Ruoda Quzhou.
Fortunately, there was help from the local New Fourth Army guerrillas.
The eyeliner of these comrades can be said to be widespread, and the identities of all walks of life in the entire southern region are available.
The whole area, as long as there is wind and grass, cannot escape their ears.
In the end, with the help of the comrades of the New Fourth Army, the commando team secretly crossed one blockade line after another of the Japanese army, successfully rushed to the area of Tianmushan Town, and successfully found the American pilot who was hidden and protected by the local people.
When the two sides met, because the commandos were well-equipped and had a suit of American-style equipment, several American veterans were frightened and immediately drew their guns, thinking that the Japanese spies had found this place.
Fortunately, there were local people and comrades of the New Fourth Army who explained that this made a few old Americans lift their guard.
It's time for both sides to introduce.
One of the old men in the United States, who was in his 40s, with thinning hair and an unattractive beard, enthusiastically shook hands with Duan Peng and Ye Min, who led the team, and then introduced himself:
"Hello, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle of the U.S. Army Air Corps, thank you very much for this rescue!"
There are still people in the old American team who understand Chinese, and perhaps because of the forced landing in China, he translated the English that Doolittle said.
Finally, we saw the goal of this rescue operation.
...... "Remember, Doolittle is an absolute talent, he is not only the commander of the US military flight unit, but also a senior engineer in aviation.
This old fellow, you must bring me back, if he doesn't come, he will be tied up, and he will have to be tied back for me! ”
Before leaving, Kong Jie's explanation was still in his ears.
The monk who was also on the side at that time was still a little puzzled, "Leader, just an old American, is it so exaggerated?" ”
Kong Jie said solemnly: "It's not an exaggeration at all, our Eighth Route Army is almost a blank sheet of paper in aviation now, and aviation engineers like Doolittle are really scarce."
If you can trick this old guy here, no, please help us develop our aviation business.
That can play a role that is not even less than three divisions.
So you should get the idea, right? ”
Back to the present, remembering Kong Jie's advice, Ye Min saluted Dulittle and immediately prepared to introduce himself.
"Lieutenant Colonel, hello, we are eight ......"
"We are the Chinese National Revolutionary Army's special rescue team, which regards you US military pilots as our closest friends, and my name is Duan Peng, and I am the leader of the special rescue team."
"Lieutenant Colonel Du, hello!"
The last greeting words, Duan Peng used English, which made Doolittle surprised.
"Captain Duan, do you know English?"
"I understand a little bit." Duan Peng replied, muttering in his heart, the English that he had worked so hard to learn had finally come in handy.
I remember that when Kong Jie asked the elite members of the commando team to learn English, everyone still didn't understand it.
On the one hand, I think that the biggest enemy at the moment is the Japanese army, and it is enough to learn Japanese, so why learn English?
Kong Jie's explanation for this is:
"Besides, the enemy is never static, who knows if he is a little devil today, and tomorrow he will become a bunch of English-speaking bastards?"
This explanation may not be well understood.
After all, the English-speaking and Chinese-speaking ones are still militarily allied.
Kong Jie went on to explain: "At present, English is the most widely used in the world, and many valuable military and civilian materials are written in English.
If we don't learn English well, if we are fooled, we will help others sell it for money!
Besides, now we are cooperating with the old American in many channels, so we can't even understand English, right? ”
In this way, the team members began the arduous road of learning English.
Kong Jie also specially invited some old American and British veterans as gentlemen.
After a period of study, although Duan Peng and his entourage are not proficient in English, there is basically no problem in daily communication.
In the ensuing exchange, Doolittle said that many of them were still hiding in the village, and they were now in the middle of the Japanese blockade, and they were having a headache about how to break out.
There are also many teammates who have completely lost contact during the crash landing and may be in a desperate situation.
Duan Peng immediately said that he would do his best to help rescue the American pilot, for which Doolittle expressed his deep gratitude.
After avoiding Doolittle, Ye Min asked in private, "Old Duan, why don't you tell this American old man that we are the Eighth Route Army?" ”
Duan Peng smiled: "Old Ye, why are you so sincere?"
In the eyes of these old Americans, the Central Army is obviously more credible than us, well-equipped, rich, and a regular army.
If we say that we are the Eighth Route Army, maybe this old American will refuse to leave with us, and we will really have to kidnap people.
It's not convenient to walk on the road.
Besides, we belong to the National Revolutionary Army now, so there's nothing wrong with introducing it like this! ”
Ye Min suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So that's the case, Old Duan, you can learn badly!" ”
"Haha, if you really learn badly, then you can also learn from the detachment leader!" Duan Peng said.
Since these U.S. pilots were successfully found, the most important U.S. Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle among the target figures was also found.
After Duan Peng and Ye Min discussed, they found Doolittle again, saying that the current situation was full of dreams at night, and the action team was ready to immediately take all the pilots, including the wounded, and set off to break through the blockade line of the devils.
Doolittle said that he and his team members could all be incorporated into the battle sequence and fight with Duan Peng and his party.
The old man was very stubborn about this, "Although we are pilots, we are not unable to fight without the plane, and we are all elites when fighting on land." ”
Duan Peng did not refuse, but made special arrangements for some team members to take special care of these US pilots, and he had to send back to the base area a lot of the talents that the detachment commander said.
When I was ready to leave at night, the villagers who helped cover Doolittle and his party rushed to see them off.
Doolittle and the villagers hugged and shook hands one by one, but they were in tears.
Before leaving, Doolittle and his entourage said that there was no other way to be grateful, so they left some equipment and supplies for the local people.
As a gift and as a souvenir.
Fortunately, Duan Peng still remembered Kong Jie's explanation before leaving, and hurriedly stopped this behavior.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you can't do this, the little devils are mad, they are secretly searching, if they can't find you, and they see the items you left behind among the people, most of them will spill their anger on the people, and even carry out wanton massacres.
You are well-intentioned, but if the situation is not right, and you harm the people again, it will be more than worth the loss. ”
Doolittle immediately woke up, and after explaining to the villagers, the two sides reluctantly waved goodbye.
Before leaving, Duan Peng also specially told the villagers to eliminate the traces of the flight team members, and never let the little devils find flaws.
In the final breakthrough process, Duan Peng, Ye Min and his entourage of commandos left a deep impression on Doolittle and his party with their superb military literacy and special coordination tactics.
After the inevitable outbreak of fighting, the combat effectiveness displayed by these Chinese commandos made these American veterans even more amazed.
So much so that after the team broke through the three anti-lock lines of the Japanese army in one breath and was temporarily safe, Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle said with heartfelt emotion:
"It turns out that you Chinese soldiers are so good?"
Then he wondered, "Then why did I hear that your War of Resistance against Japan was extremely difficult, and you often lost battles, and the land area was lost again and again?" ”
Duan Peng smiled and said nothing, he couldn't explain this.
Anyway, the black cauldron all depends on Jiang Jun's head.
But there is a straight American old man who said, "Lieutenant colonel, I heard that their Chinese army is a first-class soldier, a second-rate general, and a third-rate commander.
Perhaps it is for this reason that their anti-Japanese struggle was fought so hard. ”
Doolittle nodded thoughtfully and did not continue the topic.
Three days later.
Under the protection of Duan Peng, Ye Min and the commandos, a total of more than 40 US pilots were rescued, and they successfully jumped out of the daily blockade and arrived in a relatively safe area.
The process was quite smooth, and the occasional few times were also thrilling.
Under the leadership of Duan Peng and Ye Min, everyone traveled day and night, camouflaged all the way, and when they encountered a small group of Japanese troops, they directly eliminated them, so they quickly evacuated after setting up a suspicious formation.
The battle ended so quickly that the Japanese reinforcements simply could not catch up in time.
At night, some commandos took the lead in touching the Japanese troops on the position, crossing the position, and even using climbing ropes to climb over the city wall overnight.
The whole process is like a divine soldier.
Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle exclaimed: "If we pilots were able to attack Tokyo in the air, relying on thorough intelligence, excellent fighters and combat equipment, we can be regarded as a surprise force in the air.
Captain Duan, then you are the ace of the Chinese army. ”
At one point, it was necessary to break through the fortifications of the Japanese army stuck in the pass at night.
The commandos fired a salvo of bazookas, directly blowing up the devil's stronghold and turret, and forcibly broke through.
Coupled with that American-style equipment, Doolittle sighed that their country's equipment support was not wasted on the Chinese army.
Duan Peng just smiled, still not explaining anything.
On the fourth day, Duan Peng said to Dulittle: "Lieutenant Colonel, for now, you and my deputy captain will first transfer to our solid defense area.
I have also learned that some of your team members have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and I will find a way to rescue them.
Now we're going to take our leave! ”
Hearing what Short Peng said, Doolittle said without hesitation:
"Duan, let's go with you! After all, it's to save our companions! ”
Duan Peng refused: "Lieutenant Colonel, this is my mission, you will evacuate with my deputy captain, don't worry, I will definitely save your other pilots from the devil's hands, besides, you also have wounded." ”
"No, the wounded can stay, but others must take part in the battle!" Doolittle insisted, "As soldiers, when we decided to participate in this air raid, we no longer thought about life and death!" We didn't even think we'd survive. ”
"Lieutenant Colonel, when you say that, do you think that we Chinese soldiers are afraid of death?
In order to win this war against aggression, we don't know how much life we have paid, we are not afraid of death, but we are afraid that we will not be able to fight in the end.
The task I received this time is to rescue the lieutenant colonel and you a lot, and if you stay in our side in the future, you will definitely be able to play a greater role, instead of taking risks in the next operation! ”
Looking at the unusually resolute young man in front of him, Doolittle wavered.
He was shocked and admired by the Chinese soldiers in front of him, all of whom were determined.
He finally nodded and agreed to evacuate with Ye Min and his party......
