Commander Feng thinks it's best for Woody to come forward with him, and I won't come forward. This shows that it becomes at least the idea of the Americans, or the ideas of the Chinese in the United States, and can give the Kuomintang a reason to accept it. If the American volunteers agreed to cooperate in the negotiations, he personally went to the talks and provided information on the actual combat of the Japanese planes.

Call back to Woody and tell Dawu to organize a 100-member volunteer team and prepare to join the American Volunteer Team to fight; In addition, a team of 40 pilots was organized to prepare to return to the base to participate in the war. He was asked to contact Chennault, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Air Force's American Volunteer Corps, and told Woody that he was ready to donate his planes and organize personnel for him if the other party agreed to cooperate. The specific content of Commander Feng will go to visit and talk with him, and bring information about the relevant Japanese planes, and ask not to mention himself.

By the afternoon of the 3rd, Ma Biao reported that the devils had begun to retreat. The report said that last night Ma Biao organized more than 30 sniper squads and mortar squads to fight against the enemy at night, destroying at least 300 enemy troops in one night. In addition, the devil burned down the house himself, and the devil naturally suffered a lot. After resting this morning, the retreat began directly in the afternoon.

The counter-"sweep" is over. The devils left behind a no-man's belt with a width of 10 to 15 kilometers, burned down more than 300 large and small mountain villages, lost at least 4,000 houses, destroyed at least 30,000 acres of land, and left more than 20,000 homeless people. The people who died still need to be investigated.

The guerrillas fought in blocking and night battles, killing and wounding about 600 enemy troops. The guerrillas suffered 187 casualties and 459 wounded, of whom more than 130 were seriously wounded or disabled, and were not captured or captured. Ma Biao regretted that he did not lead the devil to the core position, and as long as it was consumed, it would add the burden of more than 20,000 homeless people.

According to Commander Feng's assessment, it is not bad to be able to play a one-to-one record. I estimate that one-third of the devils I have eliminated is estimated to be the most, even if it is the most, I am afraid that the puppet army is the majority.

He personally drafted a telegram to direct Ma Biao to help. The first is to set aside the alert troops, and dispatch teams, especially engineers, to help the people restore their houses; the second is to subsidize a piece of ocean per household; the third is to replant autumn vegetables; Fourth, the purchase of deflated grain to the farm as feed, guide the people to make green fodder, and the farm will purchase the affected people at a high price, and the rest will not be collected; Fifth, we should keep enough rations for the troops and distribute 20 catties of relief food per person. If there is any difficulty in communicating with Commander Feng, the base will try to help solve it.

Woody telegraphed that he had been in contact with Chennault and that he was interested. I plan to find time to visit the base in person in the near future, and Woody will accompany me.

The telegram was given to Commander Feng for preparation. When I returned home, I thought about how to help the people in the disaster area, only 20,000 people needed 200 tons of food, and it was difficult for me to do it myself. There is no channel for large-scale disaster relief to purchase food, and airdrops are even more unimaginable. It can be said that in addition to what the government can do, it is to save itself, and the current government does not seem to be interested in disaster relief.

Since ancient times, China has suffered frequent disasters, especially floods, droughts, and locust plagues, which have taken turns and even superimposed, and Chinese history is almost a history of disaster resistance. The common people have always struggled to fill their stomachs, and hunger has continued almost until after the reform and opening up. The fundamental reason for this is that China's agricultural infrastructure is weak and unable to resist natural disasters, and man-made disasters are even more cruel. Especially since the Opium War, the imperial court and the government have not added more bricks and tiles to the agricultural infrastructure, and some of them are destroyed, and the warlord wars for many years have almost destroyed the construction of the feudal dynasty, and the situation has been even worse after the Japanese invasion. It is not surprising that the ability of China's agricultural infrastructure to resist disasters has been reduced to a minimum, and that disasters have become more and more severe in recent years.

The three major disasters are a collateral problem, and there is no single treatment that can be cured at the root, and the construction of water conservancy is the core. At the end of the 50s, a scientist (tribute to Mr. Ma Shijun) put forward a proposal to eradicate the locust infestation in Hongze Lake and Weishan Lake, starting from the source of locusts, fundamentally curbing the mass reproduction of locusts, and only then can it be regarded as solving the root of locust control.

It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the state did its best to carry out agricultural infrastructure construction. More than 80,000 reservoirs were built alone, and tens of thousands of kilometers of canals were built, laying the foundation for the later resistance to the three major disasters.

In his previous life, when he returned from North Korea, the troops had to participate in disaster relief and support agriculture every year, and there were no exceptions. Before the fundamental solution to the problem of locusts was found, every year before dealing with the locust plague, scientists went to the army to explain the new methods of fighting the locust. It was not until the 70s, when there had been no locust plague for 10 years, that China announced that it had completely cured the locust plague.

If you can't solve the fundamental problem, let's guide yourself in the face of the locust plague. Even if you only save one person, your efforts are not in vain. Try to think about what scientists said back then, how they executed it, what proved to be useful, etc. I didn't pick up my pen until the next day, and I first wrote a book title: "Locust Mouth Hunting"! After thinking about it, I feel that the catastrophe has risen, and it is impossible to take food, so I can only take my life, so let's change it to "Locust Mouth". The author, of course, is Li Ya.

Make an outline. If you have a preface, you must always be humble first; Meet the locusts; Prevention is more important than cure; monitoring and early warning of locust plagues; Chickens and ducks are of great use; methods of catching locusts; Locusts are also good food; Locusts can also cure diseases; The cure lies at the source; Post-disaster epidemic prevention and relief for the people in the disaster area. I don't lack resources now, I find someone to draw the illustrations, and I send someone to find the old Chinese medicine doctor to check the prescription! For more ways to eat, ask the soldiers in Guangdong for advice.

I wrote it for a few days, and when the first draft was completed, I estimated that it would be more than 20,000 words. Coupled with the large number of illustrations I requested, it can be regarded as a booklet with pictures and texts. The manuscript was corrected by Commander Feng and he guided the drawing. Commander Feng is very interested in having another "masterpiece" coming out! Seeing the title of the book, I became serious! also specially saluted a military salute, hateful! You have to return the favor! It took 10 days to finalize the draft.

Woody accompanied Chennault to the base on the 20th. As Commander Feng's interpreter, he participated in the reception. At the beginning of getting off the plane, they didn't talk about anything, but first referred to the inspection. It may be the first time that I have inspected the aviation implementation of the base in such detail. Commander Feng introduced it in great detail, and he was worthy of being an expert, casually evaluating all aspects. What needed to be improved, what needed to be rearranged, and of course many that he highly praised, interested in Soviet bombers, fighters, and devil's planes. Of greatest interest are aircraft navigation and radar warning systems.

Ask Commander Feng to arrange a real battle and let him see it for himself. In the evening, Commander Feng arranged two bombers to bomb the freight yard in Shijiazhuang again, and arranged for two transport planes to airdrop 50,000 oceans from Yunmengshan, 50,000 of his own "Locust Mouth" and nearly 30 tons of compressed biscuits.

With the basic approval of the people, the negotiations went smoothly on the whole. It's just that this Yankee is very good at bargaining, asking for two command planes, and asking for the establishment of ground navigation base stations and radar bases in Kunming and Chongqing. He asked for 100 fighters, 20 of which were allocated for his own use, and he also told himself the limit of what the base could accommodate, and promised that if he lost it, he could apply for a supplement. Bombs and fuel can only be allocated from his base, and he needs to transport them himself. There are also pilots who organized more than 100 people for him. Of course, I purchased 2 more in the name of the volunteer team.

gave a nickname, called "Shaanxi Squadron of the American Volunteer Corps of the Chinese Air Force", Commander Feng was naturally the squadron leader, and the right to fight independently was the most disputed place, and in the end they reluctantly agreed. As for the exchange of intelligence, the exchange of bases, and so on, these are all small things. The agreement was signed by Woody and Commander Feng, and the two men executed the contract separately.

After arranging for Chennault to rest, he communicated with Woody about the situation and listened to Woody's briefing on the situation in the United States and Woody's trade. On the whole there were no major problems, and on the question of trade between Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union, he gave Woody a principle. Under the premise that Isaac's funds allowed, he could give low-interest loans to Britain and France, but the Soviet Union could not, and when it was especially needed, he would arrange donations in the name of Daria. As for when he will return to the United States, he decided to consider it after the squadron is determined and the base is stabilized.

In the end, Woody was given a blueprint to purchase at least 100,000 locust nets in the United States. In addition, 500 parachutes and 5 million grenades, 3 million mines, 1 million rocket launchers and 1 million mortar shells from the San Francisco Arsenal were procured.
