Since ancient times, it has been said that it is difficult to travel on the plains and it is difficult to reach the sky. But it is undeniable that man can conquer nature. No matter how difficult it is, human wisdom can solve it. For example: airplane!
The Coral Dam Airport was completed in 1933 with a construction period of only fifty days. The total area is 35.33 hectares, with a standard runway length of 750 meters and a width of 46 meters. At that time, in order to facilitate passengers to take flights and load and unload cargo, a pontoon bridge was built between the coral dam and the urban river bank, and an aircraft terminal was built. Passengers only need to disembark from the pontoon and climb 322 steps to reach the main road and transfer.
What Sun Guoxin arranged for Fan Keqin was a military aircraft. This plane belonged to a high-ranking official who had returned from fighting on the front lines to recuperate. After recovering, he was appointed by Shangfeng to command the troops in Guangzhou and be responsible for city defense.
As the director of the Intelligence Department, Sun Guoxin, as a powerful figure in the military command, was naturally well-informed. He immediately contacted these senior officials and superiors. Fan Keqin and others were also arranged to be included in the temporary passenger list.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, it was still dark. Fan Keqin had already arrived at the intelligence office, bringing eight of his men who had been prepared, and Sun Guoxin personally escorted them to the dock.
While in the car, Sun Guoxin repeatedly told Fan Keqin to pay attention to safety. He also told him who would pick him up when he arrived at the airport, etc., and explained it to Fan Keqin in detail.
After arriving at the pier, Fan Keqin nodded to Sun Guoxin, who smiled and said: "Go ahead, I won't get off the car."
Fan Keqin opened the door and got out of Sun Guoxin's special car. The guide walked directly downhill, passed the pontoon bridge, and entered the airport. Qian Jinxun was wearing a suit, holding a big cigar in his mouth, and talking to a soldier wearing a flight jacket.
Fan Keqin arrived and said, "Brother, you are here too."
Qian Jinxun smiled and said, "That is, can I not come when you are on a business trip?" He handed over a bag in his hand, and then said, "You didn't bring much money, did you?"
Fan Keqin smiled and reached out to take it, saying: "I brought some, it must be enough."
Qian Jinxun said: "What's enough is enough. Take a look and take it." Having said this, he patted the man on the shoulder and said: "Miao Qi, we are one of our own. Old Miao, this is what I just told you." Yes, my brother, take care of me along the way."
Miao Qi said: "It's natural. The deputy seat is relieved. It's not like I haven't flown this line before. It's absolutely no problem."
Fan Keqin waved his hand, and the eight agents behind him also came over. So he said: "Okay, I'm leaving first. Help me look after the department. I'm afraid that during the business trip, these guys will herd sheep again."
Qian Jinxun smiled and said: "That's impossible. Didn't you explain it already? I'll keep an eye on you when you look back. Remember, go early and come back early."
Fan Keqin waved his hand and boarded a transport plane with Miao Qi. This aircraft looked familiar to Fan Keqin, and he felt that it should be an old German Junkers transport aircraft, but what model it was, he couldn't tell clearly.
Miao Qi led them into the cabin and said, "Sir, sit down, we may have to wait for a while."
"Thank you." Fan Keqin said, waved his hand, and followed the agents behind him to sit on the bench next to him.
Even though it is a transport plane, the space inside is not big, but it is quite easy to fit twenty people on and off. In the middle, there were several large wooden boxes with unknown contents, tightly tied with canvas straps to the hooks on both sides of the bulkhead.
After Fan Keqin finally sat down, he opened the small cloth bag and took a look. There was a stack of French currency and three large yellow croakers inside. He smiled and put them all in his suit pocket.
An action team agent named Wang Xingchao turned his head excitedly after sitting down and looked at the round window next to him, saying: "This is my first time flying. Captain, how fast do you think this thing can fly? In the blink of an eye." Get to the place.”
Jin Jia on the side said: "That's natural, but what you said is a bit too exaggerated. At the very least, you have to work hard."
Hua Zhang listened next to Fan Keqin and burst into laughter. Fan Keqin turned to look at her, and then said: "Be polite when the real owner comes. We are taking advantage of them. Otherwise, it will take five or six days to arrive by boat at the fastest." . We have to take trains and buses in the middle, which will make us miserable."
Although Fan Keqin didn't recognize this aircraft when he looked at it, this type of aircraft was ordered by the Nationalist Government in 1934. In fact, it was at that time. Germany only produced a total of eighteen Junkers 52s. Later, it partnered with the Nationalist Government to develop Eurasian Airlines, which had several routes including the Pingyue-Guangdong Line, the Baotou-Lanzhou Line, and the Shanghai-Lanzhou Line. Among them, two of the eighteen aircraft were invested by Lufthansa into Eurasia Airlines and were regarded as one of the shares.
Therefore, the plane that Fan Keqin and the others are riding now is one of the civil aviation planes that year. However, it was later transformed from civil aviation into a transport aircraft and then used for military purposes.
So at this time, little Japan has absolute air supremacy in China's airspace. Isn't it afraid of being beaten down?
This probability cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is indeed relatively low. The main reason is that the war on both sides of the front line is intense, and Japan's fighter jets have to be used closely on the front line. Moreover, China is so big, and little Japan wants to swallow the elephant with a snake. Although it is at the top for a while, after a series of battles in Songhu, Taiyuan, Xuzhou, etc., little Japan still has the advantage. But the military strength has begun to become a bit tight. It is even less possible to send precious fighter jets to patrol behind the Kuomintang-controlled areas every day. Isn't that what you eat when you're full? Furthermore, little Japan is very crazy now. In addition to old man Jiang's landline, they will not think it is worth taking action on a single transport plane.
The flight range of Aunt Juncker is still good, but the speed is slower, only more than 200 kilometers per hour. In addition, it needs to follow the safe route and has to make some circles in the air. Therefore, it takes about six hours and nearly seven o'clock. . The plane finally landed at a secret airport outside Guangzhou.
Fan Keqin and others got off the plane and watched their companions, two lieutenant generals and three major generals whose names they did not know, get into military vehicles and leave directly. They were about to leave the airport and find a car to enter the city first. But they saw four cars driving in from the side and stopping in front of Fan Keqin and the others.
As soon as the door of the second car opened, a man about forty years old got out. This man was thin and had bags under his eyes, but he was slender and had his hair parted. He smiled and looked at it. After a group of people, they stretched out their hands to the leader Fan Keqin and said, "Dare I ask, are you Fan Keqin, Section Chief Fan?"
Fan Keqin also stretched out his hands to shake his hand and said, "That's right. Are you? Stationmaster Shi?"
Shi Baoguo was immediately dissatisfied and said: "Who is the webmaster and not the webmaster? Just call me Lao Shi. Keqin, you have worked hard all the way. Brother, I really appreciate it, I appreciate it!"
Shi Baoguo, Military Command Guangzhou Intelligence Station, Colonel. In fact, it won't be long before the Guangzhou station will become one of the largest state-owned stations, and the rights of the stationmaster will be no less than those of Shanghai, Tianjin, and other large intelligence stations.
Even though Dai Yunong is a major general, he has great power and is very generous in rewarding his subordinates. Therefore, after the fall of Guangzhou, in order to motivate the military agents lurking here, he personally upgraded the rank of the station commander of Guangzhou Station to the rank of major general. It has become one of the country’s largest Class A websites.
Shi Baoguo pointed to a round-faced man next to him with slicked-back hair and a shirt and vest, and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my director of the Intelligence Department of Guangzhou Station, Radar Gu." Then he pointed to another man wearing overalls. The strong man said: "This is the operations leader, Ouyang Fei."
Fan Keqin shook hands with them respectively and said: "Director Lei. Captain Ouyang, please take care of me when we meet for the first time."
After all, Fan Keqin is from the headquarters, and is an absolute confidant arranged by Big Boss Sun Guoxin to help them, so he doesn't dare to neglect it.
Fan Keqin introduced his subordinates, Zhang Zhikai, Hua Zhang and others to Shi Baoguo and others. After the greetings were completed, Shi Baoguo waved his hand and said: "Brother Keqin and the other brothers have worked hard on the road. When we get here, we are home. We have to eat at the reception banquet. I have arranged everything. Let's go."
Fan Keqin felt that since he got off the plane and saw this guy until now, he has been in a good mental state and does not look like he is about to live or die. So he nodded with a smile and said, "Then we'll just do as we please and listen to Station Master Shi's arrangements."
A group of people got into four cars respectively. Fan Keqin and Shi Baoguo were sitting in the back seat of the second car. There was no one else except the driver.
As soon as the car left the airport, Shi Baoguo lost his previous energy. He grinned at Fan Keqin and said, "Brother, we are all Virgos after all. You can't pull me away. Take it."
Fan Keqin was startled when he heard this and said: "Stationmaster Shi, don't worry, am I here? I will do my best."
"Hey!" Shi Baoguo sighed and said, "Brother, don't comfort me. How can Japanese spies be so easy to find? Brother, I don't mean anything by saying this. Virgo said you are from our intelligence department. The first detective, I admire you very much. I also believe that I will be able to catch the spy. But... but the key is time. Boss Dai gave me ten days in total. Three days have passed. Tell me, after Little Japan has finished publishing the newspaper, you can look wherever you want, where can you find such a big city like Guangzhou? Not to mention ten days, even ten or twenty days, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven."
Fan Keqin laughed and said: "Just do your best. I believe Boss Dai will understand when he sees our efforts, even if we don't complete it on time in the end."
