When he heard Stanley say that the pension was nothing and could not be compared with Bob, Bob said: "Stanley, we are old friends. This time, I will give you an opportunity to make a fortune. I wonder if you are interested?"
Stanley's eyes lit up after hearing this. He was interested, and very interested. Although he has a good salary, and with the military support, he earns more than air force officers of the same level in the United States, but his wife is sick and rests at home all year round, with no income. Stanley has to bear a lot of medical expenses. fee. He has a son and a daughter who are currently in college, which is also a huge expense.
Stanley's little income is stretched thin, and he hopes to have a large amount of extra money like Bob to solve the family's predicament.
After listening to Bob's words, he raised his eyebrows and said expectantly: "Bob, I'm very interested. Tell me, what can I do to make a lot of money?"
Bob said: "I have been flying for so long and I am already hungry. Let's find a place first and let's eat and talk."
Stanley smiled and said: "That's no problem. When you come, I must give you warm hospitality. There is a good restaurant outside the aviation school, let's go there now."
The two of them drove to the town, where there was a Western restaurant opened by an overseas Chinese. There is a Western restaurant in the town. It is because there is an aviation school and there are many Americans that this overseas Chinese specially opened this Western restaurant here, and the business is very good.
At this time, there were rice staff from the airport dining in the restaurant. When they saw Stanley and Bob coming in, they all greeted them.
The two came to the second floor and asked for a private room. Bob still wanted to say a few words, but Stanley asked directly: "Bob, you said there is a way to get rich, what is it? Tell me quickly."
Bob laughed when he heard this and said, "I'm here to ask for your help this time." Then he told the purpose of his visit.
Bob accepted Xu Dalong's commission this time and hoped that the 15th Air Force of the US Army stationed in Yunnan would participate in the Malaysian war. The U.S. Air Force and the Korean Army formed a joint command headquarters. Although the general command is held by personnel from the Korean Army, they cannot be the masters of the Americans.
As long as Bob can convince the commander of the Fifteenth Air Force, he can mobilize the American air force to join the Malaysian battle.
Bob has nothing to do with the 15th Air Force, but Stanley is very familiar with them. The current commander of the 15th Air Force is Weidman, Stanley's instructor when he was studying flying at the aviation school.
Bob knew about the relationship between Stanley and him, so he came here to ask for his help.
Bob took out two large yellow croakers and gave them to Stanley, asking him to become a lobbyist. Bob said that this was just part of his gratitude, and he would be thanked again after the matter was completed. As for Brigadier General Weidmann and the 15th Air Force, Bob also brought a large amount of rice dollars and gold bars as payment for their dispatch of troops.
Seeing that Bob was so generous, Stanley agreed wholeheartedly. As soon as he returned to the aviation school, he called Weidman and briefly explained Xu Dalong's request.
Weidman did not refuse and asked Stanley to take Bob to the Air Force to meet him early tomorrow morning.
At 9 a.m. the next day, Stanley took Bob into Weidman's office on time.
Weidman had heard about Bob and was very interested in the situation in the Mawushan Military Division.
Bob gave Weidman a detailed report on his situation there. General Weidmann asked many questions, the most common of which was about Xu Dalong.
He had heard many legends about Xu Dalong, and most of the news came from Guo Jun. It could be said to be hearsay. Bob has followed Xu Dalong for such a long time, and the news from him is first-hand.
From Bob's introduction to Xu Dalong, Weidman could feel that Bob admired Xu Dalong very much. It can be said that he respected Xu Dalong twice, which deepened his impression of Xu Dalong.
Weidman grew up in the western part of the United States. He also has a Western cowboy mentality and admires heroes. He also admires people like Xu Dalong very much and is willing to help.
Seeing that Bob's offer was so generous, he immediately agreed, saying that he would send a liaison team to Malaysia to get in touch with the air force at any time to cooperate with Xu Dalong's combat operations.
Bob completed Xu Dalong's instructions and sent a telegram to tell Xu Dalong the good news.
Xu Dalong was also very happy and conveyed the good news to the various units of the guerrillas, as well as the units of the British Army, Yunnan Army and Yuanzheng Army heading to Malaysia.
Everyone was very excited when they heard the good news. They all knew that Xu Dalong had many connections and great reputation, and he was actually able to get the American air force to cooperate in the battle, which further enhanced their confidence in defeating the Japanese army.
For the anti-Japanese armed forces, the greatest threat was the Japanese air force. Destroying the Japanese airport in Kuala Lumpur was the primary task of the anti-mopping operations. So the first battle of the anti-mopping campaign started here.
The Tenth Air Force of the Japanese Air Force stationed in Malaysia currently has only one mixed flying group in Malaysia, which has 22 fighters, 18 bombers, 3 transport aircraft, two reconnaissance aircraft, and two training aircraft. The airport used to be The International Airport in Kuala Lumpur was built by the British and transformed by the Japanese army into a military airport. The airport is 15 kilometers away from Malaysia. In addition to the air force's own guard squadron, there is also a squadron of the Japanese army and a guard battalion of the puppet army.
Since the airport is very close to Kuala Lumpur, it will take at most 20 minutes after the battle begins to receive reinforcements from a large number of Japanese and puppet troops in the city.
Wei Dayong is responsible for carrying out the task of destroying the airport. This place is no better than the Mawushan base area. There are no rocket launchers and lack of other long-range artillery. It is difficult to destroy it from a distance. With the help of the Overseas Chinese Intelligence Team, Wei Dayong learned about the situation at the airport and conducted on-site reconnaissance.
He felt that it would be very difficult to forcibly capture the enemy's airport with his two special operations units and a squadron of guerrillas. He formulated a battle plan and sent a telegram to Xu Dalong to seek his advice.
Wei Dayong is preparing to lead people to attack the Japanese airport. The enemy situation there is very serious and it will be very difficult to complete the task. Wei Dayong is Xu Dalong's close comrade-in-arms, and his special forces members are also Xu Dalong's treasures. Xu Dalong is not willing to lose them there by attacking the Japanese airport.
Xu Dalong was very satisfied with the battle plan proposed by Wei Dayong after reading it.
Wei Dayong has followed Xu Dalong for a long time and has a broad vision. Most commanders will only consider how to make use of the existing conditions at their hands, but Wei Dayong's vision is obviously a head above them.
Bob, who was at the Kunming Aviation School, received the telegram from Xu Dalong, and immediately went to find Stanley, and drove with him to the 15th Air Force of the US Army to meet Weidman.
When Bob asked the American air force to help destroy the Japanese airport, Weidman frowned and was very dissatisfied.
Xu Dalong's request was a bit excessive. For him to dispatch the air force to deal with the Japanese army, the risk is relatively small, or even basically no risk. It can be said that it is a piece of cake, and he is still very happy. However, if the American pilots risked their lives to attack the Japanese airport as far away as Kuala Lumpur, they would inevitably be counterattacked by the Japanese air force and ground anti-aircraft artillery units. If heavy losses were caused, he would have no way to explain it to his superiors. There is no way to explain to the families of the injured and injured pilots.
Therefore, when Bob just proposed this idea, Weidman interrupted him directly, saying that he would definitely not agree to such a request, and emphasized that if Xu Dalong made excessive demands in the future, their previous agreement would be broken. void.
Bob was not in a hurry and begged Weidman to listen to what he had to say. Stanley also supported him.
Weidman listened patiently. After he listened to Wei Dayong's battle plan, he realized that Xu Dalong had no intention of posing any problems for him. This matter was very easy for the 15th Air Force. Not only that, This is still a good opportunity to make great achievements and make a name for yourself. He agreed without hesitation.
Xu Dalong received Weidman's promise and asked Wei Dayong to directly contact the liaison group of the 15th Air Force and agreed on a time for the 15th Air Force to dispatch aircraft to participate in the war.
At 4 o'clock in the morning that day, Wei Dayong quietly came to the outside of the Japanese airport with his special forces and guerrillas.
Wei Dayong summoned the commanders above the squad leader and explained to them the next combat tasks. After receiving the mission, the squad leaders quietly led their troops to lurk near their respective combat targets.
The runway of the Japanese airport runs north-south, and most of the airport's security forces are concentrated in the airport's buildings, aprons, hangars, etc. At the southern end of the airport runway, which is the direction from which the plane took off, there are several Japanese sentries and four anti-aircraft gun positions, and the defense is relatively weak.
Wei Dayong's plan was to seize these four anti-aircraft gun positions, eliminate the Japanese sentries, and set up obstacles on the runway to prevent Japanese aircraft from taking off for combat in a short period of time. This is less troublesome and much safer than attacking the core of the airport and destroying the aircraft and hangars on the tarmac.
At 5:40, the sky turned gray, and Wei Dayong gave the order to attack. The two special operations units and three guerrilla units that participated in the operation immediately launched attacks on their respective targets.
The Japanese army never dreamed that they would encounter an enemy raid in a place like Kuala Lumpur. When they were awakened and looked confused, the anti-Japanese soldiers had already rushed to them.
The first step of the combat operation went very smoothly. It took less than a minute for all the participating units to complete their tasks, and then they started the second phase of the operation.
The special operations team members adjusted the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns and used them as flat-fire cannons, firing violently at the aircraft and buildings parked at the airport.
Several guerrillas drove two trucks parked next to the anti-aircraft gun position to the middle of the runway, unscrewed the fuel tank caps, placed two grenades, and blew them into fireballs. Some special operations team members set up machine guns on the runway, preparing to block the attacking Japanese and puppet troops.
The guerrillas were not idle either. They piled everything that could be moved next to the airport onto the runway. The most important ones were the sandbags used by the Japanese army to build anti-aircraft gun positions.
Two of the team members were carrying a sandbag very quickly. It didn't take long, and there were many sandbags piled up and down on the runway. In addition, two cars were blown to pieces. If the Japanese plane wanted to take off, it would be impossible for the Japanese aircraft to take off in a short time.
It is not easy for anti-aircraft guns to hit planes in the sky, but it is much easier to hit planes parked on the ground. As the artillery fire from the four anti-aircraft gun positions continued, the Japanese aircraft that the special operations team members could see were reduced to scrap metal, and some even ignited raging fires.
After shooting the aircraft on the tarmac, the gunners went to attack the airport control tower and other airport buildings.
The Japanese and puppet troops were awakened from their sleep. They also did not expect that such a tightly guarded airport would be attacked. It was very chaotic for a while, and many people ran out without even wearing clothes.
By the time the Japanese commander came out to assemble his team and counterattack Wei Dayong and others, Wei Dayong had already issued the order to retreat, blew up all the anti-aircraft guns, and quickly evacuated the airport.
The Japanese commander led the team in pursuit for a while. The visibility was still low at this time, and the guerrillas had already predicted their retreat route in advance. They retreated very quickly, and soon the Japanese army lost track of them.
Seeing that they could not catch up, and worried that the airport would be attacked again, the Japanese commander could only lead his team back to the airport and set up security around the airport to prevent another attack.
The highest commander of the Japanese airport was the deputy chief of staff of the Tenth Air Force. He was very frustrated when he saw the destroyed aircraft and damaged buildings at the airport. He really didn't know how to explain such a huge loss to his superiors.
When he saw the Japanese squadron leader who was on guard duty approaching, he lost his temper at him. He kept roaring and scolded the Japanese squadron leader till his head was wet.
I have to say that the people of the island country are uneducated, and there are too few curse words. Over and over again, it is "Baga", and if it is more powerful, it is "Baga Yalu". At this level, if you find any old woman in rural China, you can beat them ten times.
The Japanese squadron leader was scolded and felt very unhappy. In order to prevent the deputy chief of staff from spitting on Xingzi again, he interrupted him and reported that the airport runway had been intercepted by the enemy. The enemy might have some conspiracy.
The deputy chief of staff hurried to the place where the guerrillas had set up obstacles to check and found that the runway had been completely blocked. He felt something was wrong. It's understandable for enemies to attack airports, shoot down planes on the tarmac, or destroy buildings. What does it mean to pile some obstacles on the runway?
The deputy chief of staff realized that this must be an attempt by the enemy to prevent the planes from taking off at the airport. Presumably they were worried that the planes at the airport would bomb the guerrillas after they took off.
To be honest, the airport had just been attacked and he was not in the mood to take revenge on the guerrillas right now. Therefore, he did not take it too seriously and ordered the squadron leader to send someone to clear the runway.
Just when the deputy chief of staff was about to return to the control tower and report the attack on the airport to his superiors, the staff officer on duty at the airport ran over in a panic and reported to him that the radar station located near the Myanmar-Malaysia border had detected an attack. The enemy plane is flying to Kuala Lumpur.
