Chapter 318: The Battle of Changde

At dinner, a few dishes were added, and Commander Feng took his son and a few field workers to arrive. The matter was decided, and the rest was the division of labor, and it was determined that I would take Peng Chengfu to India first, and I would be responsible for coordinating with Woody, and Peng Chengfu and Cousin Wei would be responsible for controlling the personnel in the past. Commander Feng of the base is responsible for the overall retreat of the airport, Tian Gong is responsible for the retreat of the arsenal, and Li Da is responsible for the retreat of the escorts. For those base personnel who do not go abroad, Li Da is responsible for resettlement and pacification. Daria and I are in charge of the nursery school. So tomorrow morning after processing, in the afternoon to India.

There are always people who interrupt things, and as soon as things are said and done, everyone can drink freely. Captain Yin handed over a telegram saying that he would arrive tomorrow in the afternoon and must see him. A few people summed it up, since Shen Zui can come, it means that there is no essential change in things, and he is waiting for him. The decided plan remains unchanged and continues to be carried out! asked Commander Feng about the investigation of Zhao Hanhong in the nursery, and Commander Feng said that he had not found any abnormalities, and he felt that there was no need to pay attention, and it didn't matter if he had no background or no background.

The next morning, Zhao Hanhong was specially found. and Dalia listened to Zhao Hanhong's report again. He proposed that the nursery be renamed "American Overseas Chinese Orphanage", Zhao Hanhong was very smart, and proposed it: "The Orphanage for the Masses in the Disaster Area of Henan Province Funded by Overseas Chinese in the United States", the name is verbose, but it is also accurate. The annual cost per person is 120 silver dollars, which is equivalent to 40 US dollars, that is, more than 1.2 million US dollars per year, one-third of which is the salary of employees, and the rest is the living expenses of children. The part of the capital contribution can be deducted with materials, such as grain, meat and other foodstuffs and stationery. Don't think that $40 is not much, now a Kuomintang pilot's military salary is one dollar, and it will not exceed $20 for a whole year.

The grain from several warehouses allocated by the base is owned by the orphanage, and the ownership of several factories is donated to the orphanage, etc., and the formalities need to be handled by arrangers. The contract stipulates that the funder undertakes to raise each child until the age of 15 and not to accept any additional orphans or any other donations. The sponsor shall conduct regular inspections twice a year and inspect the implementation of the hospital several times a year, and punish or reward them according to the situation. The contract will be brought back to the United States to be notarized, and the contents will be published in full, which has been reported by the media recently, and social and media scrutiny is welcome.

The orphanage guards are separate from the orphanage and are responsible for both protection and supervision, and have the right to inspect and seize people and materials entering and leaving the orphanage. The airport is also under the management of the orphanage guards, which is the only channel to and from the outside world to support the orphanage. The captain was personally selected by Commander Feng, a retired veteran who had returned from behind enemy lines, named Qi Weiyang, a stereotypical soldier who was nearly forty years old.

In short, try to prevent possible accidents in orphanages.

In the afternoon, Shen Zui brought a letter from Dai Li and a colonel liaison officer, describing the extremely dangerous combat situation in Changde and sending planes to support. He handed the letter to Commander Feng and nodded. After Commander Feng saw it, he agreed to support and directly made a request: "We will dispatch 3 long-range bombers and 5 fighter-bombers to cooperate in the operation. One asks you to be responsible for ammunition and fuel, and we have no weapons here to support the operation, the other asks for the right to use your airfield, and the other asks for independent combat rights, that is, you can attack without asking for instructions. "The combat habits of the base may have been known for a long time, and they did not hesitate to agree. Now that there was a consensus of opinion, Commander Feng took the colonel liaison officer to the command post.

"Are you here to oversee execution, or are you just delivering letters?"

"Pick someone up? Rest assured, the communication is smooth, and you will leave after the battle begins! ”

"Let's go, go home! I'm going to have to take you a couple of meals. ”

Commander Feng came by himself at the end of dinner, and he arranged for the chief of staff to pick up the colonel. Commander Feng introduced the basic situation, today on the 19th, the devils have approached the periphery of Changde, and they are expected to advance to the city of Changde on the 21st or 22nd, and the defending troops hope to delay this process and buy time for reinforcements. The government planes have been fully supporting the operation, and they have also played a big role. They also hope that we can fight at night, and they find that in order to avoid bombing, the devils often march at night with torches. He asked for his own operational opinions, and after thinking about it, it was not good not to say anything, and said: "Suggestion: If we cooperate with the position to fight, there is often a great possibility of accidental bombing because of communication and other problems. One is whether they can bomb their airfield in Hankou by surprise, and if it is successful, it will greatly reduce the time for the devil's plane to stay in space. Then there are the devils who bomb the marching army at night, and Shen Zui arranges the material reserve and temporary troop position of the reconnaissance devils. These should be our main goals, and the other tasks should be done by government aircraft as much as possible. How to act well, Commander Feng has taken care of it himself. "I just give him one more possibility, and once I get used to the way of thinking, the wrong choice will become the right insistence. Therefore, I will not go to this problem, and leave the choice to the professionals, so that I can better make the right choice.

Holding Jiahui's iron pillar back from the orphanage, he entered the house and stared at Shen Zui, almost making Shen drunk lose his temper, and when Tiezhu entered the bedroom, Shen Zui asked: "It's so murderous, how many people have you killed?" ”

Commander Feng said lightly: "Not much! More than a thousand! ”

Shen Zui heard the words and said, "Enough! ”

Ordinary people are not drunk and sensitive, and most people don't feel murderous, they will only be uncomfortable, but they don't know what the reason is, and they don't have a sense of quantification.

"I know from the newspaper that you are evacuating the personnel of Yunmeng Mountain, how much do you plan to retreat, and how much time will it take?"

Commander Feng said: "It is expected that more than 1,000 people, but as the retreat begins, those who are not ready to come back will also be shaken to sign up, and now it will not be completed in twenty days!" ”

"Your control is so tight, the base is no longer capable of supporting them. Ma Biao still has to insist, he can only follow him, he was specially called to talk about it a few days ago, he didn't listen to persuasion, he was reluctant to give up the power in his hands, he could only live and die! ”

"Hehe, it's hard to break through the power barrier! It's all the same, and you don't need to talk about people? ”

"Drink and say!" At the wine table, He Shen Zui informed the base of the decision to retreat and asked him to take care of the orphanage. About the arsenal, let him ask the Ordnance Industry Department if it is willing to lend!

"Aren't you going to make it all into a bomb? Why did you change your mind? ”

"After all, a little capital for domestic resistance against Japan, it can be said that things still can't be done like this!"

"Admire, Mr. Li is a bit open-minded!"

"In the future, we can only see if we can get some information about our contribution to the domestic war of resistance. If there is, it will be passed to you through Captain Yin, and you can contact her if you have something personally! I was going to India today, but you're here, I'll leave tomorrow afternoon! ”

On the afternoon of the 20th, I saw Commander Feng's smooth contact with the battlefield, Shen was drunk and said goodbye, and he also flew to India, accompanied by Peng Chengfu and Commander Feng's son Feng Tao. When I got off the plane, I saw Woody, this guy was also elusive, he came to buy from the American officers and join in the fun, but people didn't want to deal with him.

The second operation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, I remember it, and I know that it was a victorious battle, so there is no need to participate. Woody came over this time, people were not as enthusiastic as last time, he was very depressed, and this guy didn't know how to avoid military secrets, so he ran around.

In the living room, he thought it would be better to lead him and Cousin Wei to discuss his problem, and said, "Mr. Woody, this problem is easy to solve, and I will talk about it later." Brother Wei first talked about the situation, how many people did we arrive, and how was the arrangement? ”

"There are more than 25,000 people in total, 11,000 people are now serving road repairs and airports, more than 5,000 people are stranded in Australia, and more than 5,000 people are stranded in Mumbai. At present, the British are admitted as refugees, but fortunately, Mr. Woody has a good relationship with the British, and he has issued refugee certificates and issued his previous passports, which is to constantly urge us to leave. These people don't have work, they don't feel comfortable idle, and they are generally stable! ”

"Brother Wei arranged for someone to organize and let them clean up, at the airport, at the manor, even in a public place! Mr. Woody, what is the situation on the small island of South Africa? ”

"Mr. Li Zhenwu took more than 500 people, the progress is not bad, and he has purchased more than 30 square kilometers of land, and it will be difficult to buy again, not the price, but mainly no one has sold it!"

"Now we need to find a way to evacuate people stranded in India and Australia, is there any way?"

"Mr. Li, the main thing now is that there are not enough ships, all our ships have been requisitioned, and we can't control them. It turned out that when I walked the Cape of Good Hope, I could take people on the return trip, but now I can go to the Mediterranean, so there is a problem. ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Do neutral countries like Portugal have sea vessels?" Hire or simply buy it. ”

"I really haven't paid attention to this!"
