Xu Dalong sneered and said: "You guys are not convinced, are you? If you have a heel, come up and let me teach you a lesson."
Bob had practiced Western boxing in the United States, and he immediately started to fight Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong stretched out a finger and shook it, and said contemptuously: "Bob, you can't do it. Let your people come with you."
When Bob saw Xu Dalong despising him so much, he immediately became angry. He rushed up and punched Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong did not dodge, he stretched out his hand and punched Bob directly with his fist.
Monk Wei knew how powerful Xu Dalong's punch was. At this moment, he seemed to feel that it was hitting his own fist, and he grinned involuntarily.
Bob screamed, with big beads of sweat on his forehead. He was holding his fists and jumping around. It was obvious that he had suffered a great loss.
The American pilots saw that Bob was no match, so they rushed forward and wanted to beat Xu Dalong in a group.
The guerrillas and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade became angry when they saw that Xu Dalong was about to be besieged by these foreigners. They were shouting and cursing, but they also wanted to step forward and besiege these Americans.
Just listen to Xu Dalong shout: "Don't move any of you."
Everyone stopped when they heard Xu Dalong's voice.
Xu Dalong stood in the middle of the field, waiting for the American pilots to approach. He raised his right foot, turned his body around with his left heel as the axis, and kicked out his right foot like lightning.
Those Americans who were close to him flew out immediately, lying on the ground unable to get up one by one.
"Okay, okay! Well done!" The guerrillas and the officers and soldiers of the Independence Brigade burst into warm applause and cheers.
Xu Dalong stepped forward and came to Bob.
When Bob saw him coming, he couldn't help but shrink back, afraid of being beaten again.
Xu Dalong smiled and stretched out his hand, pulled Bob up, and patted the dust on his body. At the same time, he said to the Americans who fell to the ground: "Anyone who is a hero should get up on his own."
The American pilots were frightened by Xu Dalong's power, climbed up in a gray manner, and stood there without daring to say a word.
Xu Dalong said: "We invite you here because we treat you as good friends, but you are not allowed to disrespect us, let alone disrespect women. Some of your behaviors may be normal in the United States, but you have to do as the Romans do in the country. When you get here We must respect our customs and habits. If anyone dares to do such a thing again in the future, I will definitely punish them severely."
Having said this, Xu Dalong slowed down and said: "We welcome you to help us fight the Japanese. I believe that in the future we will fight side by side, we will establish a deep friendship and become sincere friends. From now on, as long as you are brave In battle, I will never treat you badly. In addition to wages, bonuses, and war participation subsidies, if you have made meritorious services, I will give you more rewards to ensure that you can live a prosperous life in the United States.
As for your life, we will also arrange it properly..."
As he spoke, Xu Dalong deliberately lowered his voice so that only those Americans could hear him clearly. Zhao Gang and others are not good at English, so they don't know what Xu Dalong said.
The Americans were very excited, some applauded vigorously, and some even whistled.
Americans admire heroes. Not only were they not angry when Xu Dalong beat them, but they deeply admired Xu Dalong's skills. Xu Dalong promised to give them benefits, which made these Americans happy immediately.
Zhao Gang and others were originally very worried that they would no longer be able to cooperate with these Americans in the future. I didn't expect that Xu Dalong could resolve the embarrassing situation so easily, and I couldn't help but admire him.
After the dance, the Americans were sent away to rest.
Zhao Gang quietly asked Xu Dalong: "Captain, my English is limited, what did you say to those Americans? They were so happy."
Xu Dalong knew that Zhao Gang was an upright man, so he couldn't tell him in too much detail some things.
He smiled and said: "The way to deal with these American western cowboys is very simple: carrots and sticks. Don't be polite when it's time to deal with them, but you must also give them enough benefits. Don't worry, these Americans will definitely fight in the battle. Showing their courage.”
Zhao Gang said with admiration: "Captain, I really don't know where you learned so much knowledge. I can't understand you more and more now."
The reason why Xu Dalong recruited these American pilots to join the Mawu Mountain guerrillas was because he wanted to implement a special plan to destroy the Japanese Taiyuan Airport.
Next, Xu Dalong accompanied the pilots as much as possible, chatting with them to increase their familiarity with each other and enhance their relationship.
These American pilots had heard about Xu Dalong's deeds and were very curious about him. After communicating with him, they found that Xu Dalong's profound knowledge, especially his understanding of the air force, completely exceeded their imagination and made them even more admired.
On this day, Xu Dalong saw that the fire was almost over, so he told the pilots his plan.
After finishing speaking, he deliberately used the provocation method and said, "How about it? Do you dare to implement this plan?"
Bob was a brave pilot, even a desperado. After hearing Xu Dalong's plan, he felt very excited and said excitedly: "Xu, your plan is really crazy, but I like it very much and I must go."
The other pilots are similar to Bob. Since they want to go abroad to become mercenaries, they are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Everyone had similar ideas to Bob, and expressed their willingness to participate in this combat operation.
Xu Dalong was very happy and praised them as heroes from the United States. He would work with them to continue to create miracles of war. When they return to the United States in the future, they will definitely be welcomed as heroes, and their descendants will tell their stories with great pride.
In order to encourage these pilots, Xu Dalong said that as long as those who participate in this operation will be rewarded with 400 meters of gold in addition to the wages promised to them.
The pilots were very happy. They were all professionals and very dedicated. They immediately started preparations for the war. They asked Xu Dalong to mobilize 50 guerrillas, and they taught them the experience and technique of throwing bombs in the air.
Under the guidance of the US military pilots, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade seized the time to repair the airport. In accordance with Xu Dalong's requirements, they built the airstrip in just 16 days.
On this day, Xu Dalong led Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron to escort seven pilots including Bob out of the Mawushan base. The reason why only seven pilots participated in this operation was because they wanted to leave one pilot at the airstrip to assist with future aircraft takeoffs and landings.
Taihang Mountain base area, brigade headquarters.
Xu Dalong and others arrived at the brigade headquarters. In order not to attract everyone's attention, he did not let the Americans get out of the truck. The truck compartment was covered with a tarpaulin so that no one outside could see what was going on inside.
Xu Dalong came to the brigade headquarters alone and reported his combat plan to the brigade commander and chief of staff alone.
The World War II District Chief's Department and the Zhongtiao Mountain Command requested Xu Dalong's headquarters to assist in destroying the Japanese Taiyuan Airport. The headquarters had already notified the brigade commander.
After careful study, the brigade commander believed that this operation would be difficult to succeed. After all, Taiyuan Airport has suffered three attacks, and the Japanese army will definitely take strict preventive measures. In this case, no matter what tactics are used, it is difficult to succeed. Therefore, he was also worried about Xu Dalong.
After listening to the battle plan reported by Xu Dalong, the brigade commander said with emotion: "Xu Dalong, you are really a man. You can even think of such a plan. I think there is a 80% chance of success. I agree with your opinion. Just follow this battle plan."
Independent regiment headquarters.
Although Li Yunlong became the regiment leader and political commissar as he wished, the main task of the independent regiment was still to guard the headquarters. The days without fighting made him very difficult.
That day he received a call from the brigade commander, saying that a combat mission was to be assigned to him.
After Li Yunlong heard this, he jumped up from the kang.
While putting on his shoes, he called the guards to prepare their horses, and then he hurried to the brigade headquarters.
Kong Jie, the leader of the new second regiment, also received the order at the same time. He and Li Yunlong arrived at the brigade headquarters at the same time.
After entering the brigade commander's office, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie saw Xu Dalong and immediately understood that it was Xu Dalong who was conducting combat operations again.
The two group leaders were very grateful for this. They both thought that Xu Dalong was a good brother, and they would always think of the two of them no matter what good things happened, so they became particularly close to Xu Dalong after meeting him.
The brigade commander quickly announced a combat order, asking Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment to cooperate with Xu Dalong's combat operations. This operation was under the unified command of Xu Dalong.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie felt that as long as there was a battle, it didn't matter who would take command. Of course, they trusted Xu Dalong very much, so they happily expressed their obedience.
Soon after, Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, and Kong Jie led the troops and set off. Their target is Houma City, another big city in Shanxi. There is another major airport of the Japanese Second Air Force here, and their goal is to use this airport to make a fuss.
Xu Dalong's plan was for the troops of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment to make a surprise attack and capture the Japanese airport. Then Xu Dalong and the American pilots would fly the captured bombers to bomb the Japanese airport in Taiyuan, and then fly to Wancheng. The county's airstrip.
The Japanese bombers took off from Houma Airport and could actually reach the Mawushan base area directly. But why did the Japanese army never bomb the Mawushan base area?
This is because the fuel in the fuel tank of the Japanese bomber can indeed provide a range from Houma to the Mawushan base. But it's only enough for one way, which means that if they go on a bombing mission, it's impossible to fly back, so no one is willing to do such a stupid thing.
The airport built by Xu Dalong in Guancheng County can solve this problem.
The reason why Xu Dalong did not bring the main force of the Mawushan guerrillas to carry out this combat mission this time is because the Japanese army is now keeping a close eye on the whereabouts of the Mawushan guerrillas. If a large force of the Mawushan guerrillas is dispatched, it will definitely cause the Japanese army to of alertness.
The Taihang Mountain base area is very close to Houma. The dispatch of the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party from here will not arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army. Even if it aroused the alert of the Japanese army, they would not have imagined that the enemy's target was the airport in the direction of Houma, let alone the final target. It's Taiyuan Airport.
The brigade commander attached great importance to this combat operation. He had contacted the underground party organization in Houma in advance, and they sent liaison officers to provide Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong and others with corresponding intelligence. guide.
At 3 o'clock in the morning that day, officers and soldiers of Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment launched an attack on the Japanese army's Houma Airport.
The Japanese army had never been attacked at the Houma airport, and its defenses were extremely lax. There was only one reinforced infantry squadron in the guard force around the airport. They were no match for the two main regiments Li Yunlong and Kong Jie. In just half an hour, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment took control of the entire airport.
Pilots such as Xu Dalong and Bob entered the Japanese airport. While they refueled the plane, they listened to Xu Dalong's explanation of the operating essentials of Japanese bombers.
The bombers at the Japanese airport were Type 96 medium bombers. Although the pilots of the Mi Army have never operated such an aircraft, they are all experienced pilots. Xu Dalong briefly introduced the operating characteristics of this model to them, and they said there was no problem.
After the plane was filled with fuel and aerial bombs, Xu Dalong took the lead in getting on the first plane.
Xu Dalong not only has to participate in the battle in person, but the most important thing is that he has to serve as the pilot of the bomber fleet. The US military pilots were not familiar with the terrain of Shanxi, so this task could only be completed by Xu Dalong.
Seeing that Xu Dalong was not only familiar with the Japanese Type 96 bomber, but also able to fly it himself, the American pilots felt incredible.
However, after these days of contact with Xu Dalong, they have begun to become accustomed to Xu Dalong's magic and trust him.
They got on the plane one after another, and then followed Xu Dalong's bomber into the sky and flew towards Taiyuan.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie commanded the troops and seized the time to seize weapons, ammunition and things that could be taken away at the Japanese airport. When they saw Monk Wei coming over, they did not see Xu Dalong, so they asked: "Where is brother Dalong? "
Monk Wei pointed to the sky proudly and said, "Our captain is flying to Taiyuan in a plane."
Li Yunlong asked in disbelief: "He's really gone off the rails. When will Xu Dalong fly a plane?"
Monk Wei smiled and said: "Captain, what's so strange about this? Our captain doesn't know anything except embroidery."
