Stephen and Woody jointly telegraphed that two airliners had begun sea trials to the East. Although there is no concept of airspace in this era, there is airport control, and if there is no good connection, there is no good way for the plane to make a forced landing. And it is necessary to know the facilities of the airport in advance, at least the runway can carry the aircraft to land. The fast is 20 days, and the slow time is uncertain.

In addition to the matter of the chief of staff, the other is the matter of Da Tie Dan and his Sichuan child soldiers. According to Peng Chengfu, Tie Dan has a flexible mind, but his body movements are always half a beat, which is suitable for staff and not suitable for battle. And Tie Dan is a competitive and unyielding character, and he has to be handled carefully. When the chief of staff came back, he told the child soldier a place to go, but Da Tie Dan himself brought it back to the United States and let him continue to study. I was at the headquarters of the militia and invited squad leader Zhao and company commander Chang to drink. He said his plan for the iron eggs, and asked them to infiltrate slowly. Chang Lian Changman doesn't care, just tie it up and throw it in the car when the time comes, how can it be so strenuous! Let yourself feel like you are not entrusted. Finally, he asked squad leader Zhao if he wanted to go abroad with him and plan to go to the company commander, but the company commander still wanted to go to the front line and follow the chief of staff. Squad leader Zhao meant to continue to stay in the militia and live a happy life that he recognized, and said that it was already a blessing to meet Mr. Li, enough is enough, not to ask for more.

It took ten days for the plane to go east to get to Paris and is now in contact with Jordan and Iran. It is estimated that Jordan is more likely, and now it is a British colony, and then it is India and New Jiapo.

It was heart-wrenching to see the appearance of the chief of staff, and the cousin even asked the chief of staff to stay in the militia. There is more respect in the relationship between myself and the chief of staff, and it cannot compare with the depth and sincerity of the relationship between my uncle and the chief of staff. Don't say anything, drink first! The chief of staff was so drunk with a meal of wine that he sent someone to carry him back, and the cousin was still lamenting the cruelty of fighting behind enemy lines.

After he left Licheng County, the Eighth Route Army fought several battles nearby, and also provoked the devils to retaliate, and the people around Licheng County suffered great losses. Fortunately, more than 1,000 devils besieged Baiyun Cave without success, and they were blocked back by sapper mines and explosives when they wanted to make a detour, and the people in the north were able to avoid it. It's just that there are a lot of burned houses in Nanweiquan Village, but fortunately, there are tunnels, early warnings are timely, and there is basically no loss of personnel.

After that, the direction of the Eighth Route Army was to enter the Hebei Plain, and the chief of staff arranged for two companies to cooperate with the propaganda group of the Eighth Route Army in the form of small detachments. In the guerrilla areas of Hebei, the common people have tunnels and land mines, so that the devils are now easily afraid to enter the village.

The chief of staff has been at the headquarters in Licheng County, setting up small arsenals and breeding farms. According to the chief of staff, the local fertilizer has seen the effect, this year's crops are much better than in previous years, the people have basically accepted the fertilizer, and the local old farmers estimate that this year's output can increase by more than one and a half. Pig and chicken farming can now satisfy themselves, and it is expected that foreign assistance will be able in the second half of the year. At present, the arsenal mainly produces explosives and grenades, and other production is more difficult because there are no raw materials. Bullets are now mainly reloaded, which basically meet their own use, and their external supply is not enough.

The record of fighting devils is mainly the credit of the scouts, and the results of each group are good. The statistics have reached nearly 1,000 casualties of devils and puppet soldiers. The nearby devils and puppet soldiers basically did not dare to go out of the county seat and the artillery tower. More than 100 people were killed or wounded in the entire volunteer regiment, an achievement that even the Eighth Route Army praised and praised.

The next day, the chief of staff was not affected by drunkenness, and he was in good spirits to discuss the situation with us and think about countermeasures. Both he and his cousin introduced the situation and the possible prospects for future development. The chief of staff nodded but was not surprised, and said, "Sir, if there can be such a result, your grandfather can deal with it properly." Otherwise, you will be treated as a little warlord, and you will have no grievances, in fact, many parties should be worried about this, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch? Now this result is already the best. ”

"Chief of Staff, the current state will have a great impact on the Volunteer Corps, what are you going to do?"

"Sir, the impact is, not great! The surrounding area of Licheng County is already surrounded by the Japanese, and there are a few secret passages that are okay for people to leave, and the transportation of materials is a drop in the bucket and has no major use; Mr. Actual had expected this, so the impact was not very great. If the Japanese had compressed and besieged the forces of Nakajo Mountain, the passage would not have existed at all.

The environment of the war behind enemy lines is like this, and Mr. has laid a very good foundation for us, especially the few books you have written are good things, and the actual effect is greater than I imagined. What we have basically formed behind enemy lines now is the method of elite soldiers plus militia and ordinary people to protect themselves, and there should be no problem in persevering in it, and it is not surprising that hardship is the norm. ”

The insistence of the chief of staff was expected. The main question is how to strengthen and help them. "Chief of Staff, there are still too many people after the diversion of the militia group, you bring another group of people who are willing to go to the battlefield, otherwise they will not be able to keep them, and they will still be conscripted into the battlefield. Uncle Tang estimated that there were about 600 people, including Sichuan child soldiers, who originally planned to train for two or three years before going to the battlefield, but now they can't do it, leave the iron egg, that child is not suitable for being a soldier. Bring another batch of supplies, go to the Eighth Route Military Defense Zone, and pass from the north of Jin, it will be much safer, and Uncle Tang can ask the provincial government to coordinate in the name of the volunteer group. What to bring with the things of the arsenal, the chief of staff chooses himself. Peng Chengfu still stays here to continue training scouts, Han Ping, you know it in your heart. ”

"Yes, sir. I plan to leave in five days, and I am still not worried about the affairs of Licheng County, so I want to rush back as soon as possible. After the personnel and materials were prepared, I arranged for others to lead the team to northern Jin, and I returned to Licheng County from Zhongtiao Mountain, and then sent people from Licheng County to meet them in northern Jinbei. ”

"Good! It's up to you to arrange it! Sister-in-law, should I take it to the United States? ”

"Shaanxi is still safe now, I asked her, she doesn't want to go abroad yet, let's talk about it later."

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, I'll take care of it personally." Uncle Cousin played a package ticket!

The selection of the chief of staff was voluntary registration and selection, and the result was that more than 1,000 came from 600. The task of selecting soldiers was entrusted to Peng Chengfu, which was really fair and just. The selection rate of Sichuan child soldiers is very high, and less than 10 percent of them have been eliminated, including iron eggs. Seeing Tie Dan and more than 20 Sichuan children standing on the training ground in a daze, he knew that it was time for him to come forward. Seeing me pass, the tears in Tiedan's eyes could no longer stop slipping. hugged his head and quickly caught up with his iron egg, and said: "It's just not suitable for being a soldier, it's not a big deal." Iron egg, you said that the chief of staff made a great contribution to the war of resistance? Or did Aunt Liu contribute a lot to the war? ”

"It's the Chief of Staff! Aunt Liu is in the United States, she can't beat the devil! ”

"Haha, Tiedan, no, it's Aunt Liu who has made a big contribution! She has already contributed two divisions of equipment to the war of resistance. The chief of staff can't catch up, don't look at him with a gold medal, even my contribution is greater than his! You can ask the Chief of Staff in person! Some skills are talented, you don't have the talent to be a soldier, but you have the talent to learn, learn the ability to make contributions like Aunt Liu, okay? ”

Tie Dan tangled his little face, turned his head to look at the training ground again, and had no choice but to say, "I listen to my eldest brother!" ”

I will hand over the other 20 or so Sichuan children to Uncle Tang, and let the teachers arranged by Uncle Tang test their cultural foundation and learning potential, hoping to find a few to study in the United States with Tiedan! The rest will be arranged to the construction company.

It was not until the end of May that the American Airlines plane arrived in Hong Kong, and it sent people to Xi'an in a small plane to inspect the situation at the airport. It was called basic satisfaction, and then a tall antenna was erected, and a high-power radio station was installed. After being explained, I realized that I was guiding the plane, otherwise the plane would be blind in the sky.

On June 8, the first plane landed at the dedicated airport of Yongshou, and on June 9, the second plane also arrived. The crew are all two pilots and two navigators, one is the American pilot group and the other is the Chinese pilot team. Each with 4 maintenance personnel. The plane in front of me is basically very close to the modern aircraft seen in the previous life, with four engines, the first three-point wheel layout, the original design can carry 42 passengers, and the modified can only carry 30 passengers.

The pilot's rest and aircraft overhaul were negotiated, and the 12th was determined to be the day of takeoff. arranged for Tiegu to say goodbye to Hejiacun, and the grandfather drafted a farewell statement, and Li Da confirmed the accompanying security guards. Grandpa, second uncle, himself plus Aunt Tie's mother and son, Da Tie Dan and three little friends, Li Da brought 28 scouts. Make the plane full.
