Taiyuan, Wusu Airport.

Today is the day when the Tiger in the Forest and the Liver Fire King set off for the eastern seaboard. The two of them were accompanied by hundreds of medium and large transport planes, carrying a sufficient number and variety of supplies.

In view of the fact that the flight would pass through enemy-occupied areas, the General Headquarters also specially dispatched heavy fighters of the 1st Air Force Division to escort the entire flight.

"It's a nice plane, it's a good thing."

"When our strategy shifted back then, if the troops could have dozens of medium and large transport planes, the casualties of the comrades would definitely be much smaller."

After speaking, the tiger in the forest stroked the fuselage of the air train, and his face was full of emotion.

The mood of everyone present also became a little depressed, everyone had experienced that difficult and special period, and they could naturally understand the sadness in the sentence just now.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little heavy, the deputy general staff patted his friend on the shoulder and said:

"When you get there, you must"

At this point, he stopped abruptly.

Originally, the deputy general staff wanted to say a few sensational words, after all, the two of them have been working together since the period of strategic transfer, one is the chief of staff and the other is the commander of the corps, and the relationship is very close.

Now the old comrades-in-arms have to go to the eastern coast several hundred kilometers away to cooperate with the air force to complete a high-intensity and difficult strategic bombing, and this task is not an ordinary complicated task.

As a big brother, I have to tell a few words.

But after thinking about it carefully, the deputy general staff retracted the idea just now.

What age is this?

Large-scale battles were difficult, and that was in the past.

Right now?

With the natural resources and manpower reserves in the Qilu area, coupled with the weapons and equipment sent by the headquarters, Tuqiao of the Twelfth Army was the one who should be feared.

After all, the old devil has only three divisions and four independent mixed brigades available.

It's really a fight.,The book is the disadvantage.。

What's more, after the two sides fight, the Air Force can also send hundreds of transport planes to take charge of logistics.

This means that in the early days of the war, you can get nearly 1,000 tons of supplies every day.

With such logistical support, coupled with a morale-boosting army, what else do you have to worry about?

So, the last words of the Deputy General Staff were:

"When you get there, you must listen to the doctor and pay attention to your health and health. Eat less seafood, too, because it's easy to induce your old wounds. ”

As if he had guessed the thoughts of his old comrades-in-arms, the tiger in the forest immediately laughed.

"Haha, I see! You just wait for my good news, I will try to end the battle before September, and then we will go to see Baotu Spring together! ”

In a pleasant atmosphere, Comrade Yongjian and the King of Liver Fire boarded the sky train.

After seeing the transport plane take off, the deputy general staff officer and his entourage also left Wusu Airport one after another. At present, the work of the headquarters is busy, and it is their limit to be able to spare a little time.

······

After more than an hour of long-distance flights, the escort crew and transport plane formation successfully landed at the Yongbei airfield built by the 115th Division.

After the comrades walked out of the cabin door one after another, the military saint walked to the tarmac under the escort of the guards, and then shook the hand of President Chang with a happy face.

"Chang, thank you for your hard work."

"It's still the old rule, I asked the cooking class to order noodles, and you guys go to rest and rest after eating."

"As for the unloading, just leave it to the fighters of the logistics department of the division headquarters. They're seasoned veterans and they won't go wrong. ”

During the whole year of 1941, in addition to training pilots for the troops at the aviation school, President Chang often led the transport plane formation to travel between the border area and the base area.

It is precisely because of their silent dedication and efforts that the soldiers everywhere can use advanced weapons and equipment, and have a reliable air supply line.

The concern of the old friend made Principal Chang smile.

But unlike before, he first rejected 102's proposal, and then patiently explained:

"Let's talk about eating and resting later, I have to help the ground crew with the preparation work first."

"The formation has a bit of a heavy task today, and it has to run a round trip next. Headquarters told us to go back early and get the second batch of supplies to your division headquarters before the sun went down. ”

Compared with a year ago, the Air Force's efficiency has improved significantly, both in terms of sending people and transporting goods.

In the past, when carrying out long-distance missions, due to the short legs of the escort fighters and the threat of the Japanese army aviation, the comrades had to make a transit at the base along the way, and it took two days to travel more than 600 kilometers.

Right now?

The devil's army and aviation in North China have long been gone, and they have to make a detour when they see the fighters of the Eighth Route Army.

Twin-engine heavy fighters and medium- and large-sized transport aircraft, combined with radar and mature radio technology, have given the Air Force the ability to fly point-to-point long distances.

If it weren't for the physical strength of the pilots, flying three times a day would not be difficult.

Hearing this, the military saint nodded. Anyway, the old comrades-in-arms will come back later, and there will be time to catch up with the old days.

"By the way, our division commander and Xiao Liu, why didn't we see the two of them. Didn't the telegram from the headquarters say that Lin and Liu would come with the transport formation? ”

As soon as these words came out, Principal Chang's expression immediately became a little strange. He gestured to the sky train behind him, as if he had thought of something interesting.

"Chief of Staff Liu was airsick all the time, and he should rest in the belly of the plane now."

"And on the way, he also vomited his leather shoes, and there is a high probability that he will have to wipe them clean before coming out."

"I don't know much about Mr. Lin's situation, you should ask yourself later. His face was ugly when he got on the plane, and he didn't know if he had witnessed any plane crashes before. ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Just when Principal Chang and the military saint were talking about Lin and Liu, a man with inverted broom eyebrows and a man in a black leather coat walked out of the cabin door one after another.

"Lao Luo, you don't know the rules of LYL. You see him vomiting like this, he has to polish his shoes first, and things like washing his face have become secondary. ”

"To be decent, but not to pay attention to façade, this is the fine tradition of the Frunze Military Academy."

After complaining to his old comrades-in-arms, the tiger in the forest slapped 103 on the back again, and then pretended to be fierce and said:

"You kid will take more planes in the future, and get used to this bumpy feeling sooner. If you still vomit like this in the future, don't mention anything about the number one leader of the Air Force. ”

"Hahaha."

After a brief greeting, 01, 02, and 03, escorted by the guard platoon, rode together to the headquarters of the division. The three of them were all doers, and when they arrived at their destination, they went straight to the combat conference room.

Looking at the military map hanging on the wall, the iconic inverted broom of the tiger in the forest frowned slightly, and said with a little dissatisfaction:

"It seems that the work in this area is a bit complicated, no wonder the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy general staff have sent me to the town. We have limited time, and we have to complete the merger within the next month. ”

"Yes, this is the letter of appointment from the headquarters. In the future, you will have to worry more about political work. ”

In the entire Qilu, there were two armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, namely the column and the 115th Division. Both of them are strong soldiers, and they can launch a general attack on the devil when the right time comes.

Of course, there must be a certain problem in this, that is, the relationship between the two sides is not too close, and it is quite a bit scattered.

This time, the reason why the border region and the general headquarters transferred the tigers in the forest is very simple, that is, they want them to complete the establishment of the new military region with the saints in the army.

As the commander of the 115th Division, he was naturally handy in commanding the old troops.

As for the column's side?

Who doesn't like a veteran military commander with a record of achievements and qualifications.

After receiving the letter of appointment handed by the partner, the saint in the army showed a very curious expression, he looked at Lin and Liu and said:

"You should have seen Director Huang, that person is really an amazing person."

"If it weren't for his proposal, Lao Zhu would not have gone to the artillery academy of the headquarters, and Lao Xu would not have taken the troops south to open up a new base in Henan Province."

"I don't know if he was intentional or self-defeating, I must ask people face to face when I have the chance."

As soon as these words came out, a confident face appeared in the minds of the Tiger in the Forest and the Liver Fire King. Thinking of the style and habits of the Yellow River in the past, they all suspected that this was another precautionary arrangement.

In fact, the two of them were right, Huang did reveal his thoughts to the border area in the first week of his departure to Suiyuan.

The Qilu region is a treasure trove of land, not only for its long sunshine hours but also for abundant annual rainfall, which is very suitable for the growth of various crops.

Together with the gold mines and coal-producing areas, the troops are completely self-sufficient in terms of economy.

Except for a certain runaway general surnamed Han, it is estimated that no force will ignore such an important place.

In the plan of the Yellow River, if the saints in the army can be allowed to explode here as soon as possible, and then let the tigers in the forest be responsible for commanding the battle, then I really don't know how beautiful the scene will be.

Well, it's time to show the book and the bald head, the strength of the combination of 01, 02, and 03! (End of chapter)
