The moment he saw Doolittle, to be honest, Kong Jie was still a little excited in his heart.

This is a real celebrity!

The ruthless man who bombed Tokyo, a special engineer in the field of aviation, a doctor from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

This title is destined to be extraordinary in Doolittle's life.

The most important thing is that such an extraordinary legend will soon be fooled by him Kong Jie...... No, it's time to do something under your command.

Kong Jie felt excited when he thought about it.

Under Kong Jie's butterfly effect, the team has developed to the present, and the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army basically have them.

What the little devils don't have, a team also has a bond through the American merchant Old John.

But there is always a vacancy, and that is that the troops of the Eighth Route Army still do not have their own air power so far.

Not even a decent fighter capable of taking off.

The officers and men of the Eighth Route Army are not without dreams of flying, and every time they are bullied by the bombers and fighters of the little devils, they have also thought in their hearts that it would be good if one day our Chinese army could also have such combat effectiveness.

It's just that in an environment surrounded by strong enemies behind enemy lines, it is too difficult to achieve this goal.

There are even some fanciful meanings.

A year ago, when Kong Jie said that his team would also have fighter jets in the future. Many generals just looked at each other and laughed, thinking that Lao Kong was bragging.

It wasn't until Kong Jie did what he said, first searched for pilots everywhere, and also asked some pilots from Yan'an to be on the team.

In addition, over the past year or so, three small airfields have been secretly built in a detachment.

Only then did everyone realize that Kong Jie was not joking, this was serious.

It's just that the pilot is there, the airport is there, and the corresponding fuel resources have all been prepared, but the core plane still hasn't landed.

Therefore, although the cadres did not say that they were unwilling to speak out against Kong Jie, they did not have much hope in their hearts that the Eighth Route Army would build its own air force.

After all, even with the financial support of the Central Army, plus the support of many international countries, the air force it has is still weak, and it is not the opponent of the little devil at all.

"Now we really don't have our own air force, not even a decent fighter, even if we are too far behind the little devils now.

But we must believe that one day, China will also have its own powerful air force, even stronger than the Japanese army! ”

The development of the cause requires dreams, even if the air force system belonging to the Eighth Route Army may have just started, or it may not even be a bud.

But when giving a speech to the pilots, Kong Jie still tried his best to instill the seeds of the dream of flying in the soldiers.

Originally, all this was still very arduous, even so arduous that even Kong Jie, the founder of instilling hopes and dreams in everyone, could not see any opportunity.

Hey, Doolittle is here!

Kong Jie was indeed overjoyed, this Doolittle is definitely a top talent in the aviation field, coupled with the success of his plan to lead a sneak attack on Tokyo, he has become an international celebrity.

If he is willing to stay in China, stay in the Eighth Route Army, stay in a team, and help the Eighth Route Army build its own air power.

Whether it is the impact that his celebrity benefits can bring, the sponsorship he has brought in, and the call for reinforcements from international countries, as well as his own technology, it will be a milestone in the rise of the aviation field of the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Jie is very sure of this.

"Brother Du, you miss me!"

The black-faced man had a smile on his face, and hugged him directly and enthusiastically, and his stubble chin was almost attached to the side of Doolittle's face, almost pricking him.

was stunned and helpless, and inexplicable.

Until Ye Min on the side introduced with a smile: "Lieutenant colonel, this is our detachment leader!" ”

Doolittle came back to his senses, but he hadn't been able to adapt to Kong Jie's enthusiasm.

In his impression, the Chinese have always been very reserved, and don't they always shake hands when they meet?

How could this captain of the Kong detachment be more open and enthusiastic than they Americans?

But I have to admit that this hug did shorten the distance between the two sides in an instant.

The sentence "Brother Du" is like an old friend who has not been seen for a long time, and it seems to be a confidant who has been admired for a long time.

Doolittle was born in 89, a few years older than the brigade commander, and nearly 20 years older than Kong Jie, but revolutionary comrades-in-arms, it is not an exaggeration to call an old brother.

Then, Kong Jie warmly invited Doolittle to visit the base of the team.

The generals of the Eighth Route Army accompanied him, and reporter Shen filmed and reported on the incident as the accompanying reporters.

Kong Jie's enthusiasm came like a tide, almost directly submerging Doolittle, until he came out of several factories, Doolittle almost never came back to his senses.

When the group of US military pilots who followed Doolittle came out, their hands were already full, holding 50,000 special drinks produced by a detachment in their left hands and fried chicken and French fries in their right hands.

After a full meal, they all showed happy smiles.

"How is it, Brother Du, how are the 50,000 special drinks produced by our Eighth Route Army compared to your U.S. Army's favorite Coca-Cola?"

Needless to say, the favor of Coca-Cola in the United States is that when the GIs go to the battlefield to fight, they have to fill up the empty Coke before they have a pistol in their left hand and a Coke in their right hand.

Although there are some artistic processing joke ingredients, it also shows the popularity of Coca-Cola as a drink in the US military.

Doolittle finished the 50,000 special drinks in his hand in one go, and then said with a long sigh of relief: "It's not bad at all!" ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Our drink can not only quench thirst, replenish energy for soldiers, but also play a role in clearing heat and detoxifying, dissipating heat and cold."

When the soldiers are fighting, if they don't have time to replenish food, they only need such a can of drink, and they will be full of energy immediately. ”

Doolittle nodded again and again, and the fried chicken in his hand was also very happy, and the corners of his mouth were full of oil and water.

And at this moment, he already had the greatest confusion in his heart.

"Kong, how exactly did you do that? Why did I hear that your Eighth Route Army was in an environment behind enemy lines, and its life was extremely difficult, and you couldn't even eat enough, but what I saw in front of me was not like that! ”

Kong Jie did not answer Doolittle's question directly, but said instead:

"Brother Du, if you want to know this question, our detachment will stay for three days, and in three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Doolittle nodded, and for now, their group of American pilots could only stay here first.

Moreover, what they saw here was indeed surprising and delightful, and they had to wait for Duan Peng to rescue the remaining flight members.

……

Detachment command.

Kong Jie finished asking Shen Wenyue, and Shen Wenyue said with a smile: "Old Kong, don't worry, we will prepare a special report this time." ”

Kong Jie said: "It must be remembered that Dulittle must come to our team and our Eighth Route Army base this time to make it a special grand occasion."

Even if it's a headline for reporting the news, it's okay to use the form of a gimmick. ”

What is a gimmick?

Kong Jie once discussed this topic with Shen Wenyue in private, the so-called gimmick, that is, the use of particularly eye-catching news headlines to attract readers to read it.

Take Doolittle coming to visit and exchange with a team this time.

There are "shocked" versions:

"Shocked! The lieutenant colonel of the US Air Force was amazed at the development of the base area of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"Shocked! Doolittle, who bombed Tokyo, was as close as brothers to Kong Jie, the commander of the Eighth Route Army! ”

There are also special titles for the party:

"Why did Doolittle visit the team?"

"Doolittle's savior!"

Regarding the method of using this method to attract the attention of readers, after Kong Jie proposed it, it also made Shen Wenyue stunned for a long time at that time.

Most of the reporters in this period also paid attention to the spirit of seeking truth from facts.

In particular, war correspondents like Shen Wenyue will especially respect the facts of the battlefield and strive to present the cruel face of the battlefield in a true way.

How can it be as slippery as Kong Jie thought?

In this regard, Shen Wenyue also said with a smile that once she opens this precedent, I am afraid that the atmosphere of the entire journalist industry will be damaged from now on.

And if we talk about the initiators......

"Lao Kong, you must stand up and clarify for me at that time, but you can't carry this black cauldron on my head!"

Kong Jie nodded hurriedly and smiled: "That's for sure, I'm the one who is pitting, pitting Li Yunlong, pitting him Ding Wei, that can't pit our own wife!" ”

In addition, since he had made up his mind to leave Doolittle in the Eighth Route Army and stay in the team, Kong Jie naturally had to spend some money and use his brains.

At the moment, there isn't much to do with him and Doolittle.

First, Kong Jie is the commander of the rescue team sent by Duan Peng and Ye Min this time, and from this point of view, he can be regarded as the life-saving benefactor of Doolittle and his party of US pilots.

On the other hand, the U.S. military and the Chinese military are now considered international alliance forces.

Right now, they're all fighting with the little devils!

As the old saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Just as Doolittle and his entourage bombed Tokyo and made a temporary forced landing in China, when these blond-haired, blue-eyed American veterans suddenly fell into a Chinese village, which frightened the local Chinese people.

The secret escort team built by the people immediately surrounded these old Americans.

It's just not sure if it's friend or foe.

Until Doolittle took out the Japanese plaster flag, and then smashed it with a fierce punch, putting on a face full of anger.

The two sides immediately clarified the misunderstanding, and the local Chinese people even took all kinds of risks to help cover and hide Doolittle and his party, and deal with the little devils.

Not to mention that the Chiang junta has always been colluding with the United States, and is basically still a junior brother.

Of course, just these connections are far from enough to keep Doolittle in the team.

A talent and hero like Doolittle cares about his honor, his reputation, and whether his talent and ambition can be displayed.

And the premise of all this, in addition to the fact that he has a good impression of the Eighth Route Army and the team, is willing to stay here.

More importantly, a team that can show enough investment value to impress a talent like Doolittle and convince him that under his Doolittle, China can indeed build its own aviation force.

With these words, it is very likely that Independence is willing to choose to stay.

Therefore, Kong Jie did not hesitate to show some of his family background, and during these three days, he took Dolittle around to visit some of the core industrial development and military production of the team.

And this is undoubtedly another feast full of shocks for Doolittle and his party.

If it is said that since entering the base area, these US military pilots have been greatly shocked by the development of agriculture, economic prosperity, the stability of the people's livelihood, and the development of the military that belong to the base area.

After visiting the more core industrial production system and the military production system of a detachment.

Doolittle, who was shocked at the time, had this to say:

"Kong, I suddenly feel a little sad for the Japanese now, with a group of Chinese talents like you in him, Japan wants to win this war of aggression against China, it is just wishful thinking!"

In this regard, Doolittle also sincerely said:

"Originally, I thought, including me, and a large number of my compatriots would have thought that if our US military had not intervened and the Pacific War had not broken out, you China might not have been able to hold out for too long.

He will even be completely defeated in this protracted Sino-Japanese war and become a slave of the country.

It wasn't until today that I realized what a stupid mistake I made.

With Chinese soldiers like you, I think that even if the United States had not intervened, and even if the Pacific War had not broken out, you China would have won this just war against aggression after all. ”

In the past few days, Kong Jie has not only led Doolittle to visit some of the industrial base, military industrial base, and agricultural development of the detachment.

In addition, he also took these US military pilots to learn about the development history of the Eighth Route Army.

It also made these American veterans understand what kind of group such a group of pure soldiers who are behind enemy lines and in the most difficult environment, but who are still not afraid of death, and who are fighting the Japanese army to the end.

Such a great, pure, goal-oriented, fearless spirit, for the independence of the nation, for the strength of the country, for the prosperity of future generations, for the dignity and faith in the bones, for the totem of the Chinese nation to take off forever.

They are the loveliest people!

They are the most determined people!

They are the most awe-inspiring people!

After the three-day visit, none of the dozens of US pilots, including Doolittle, asked to leave in a hurry and rushed to Chongqing to meet Chiang's junta.

Doolittle rushed to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army with emotion, and after seeing the boss, he said with admiration:

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the biggest gain of my Doolittle on this trip is not that he led his team to successfully attack Tokyo, but that I got to know you pure and great revolutionaries!" ……
