"Reporting to the audience, the tower correspondent said that the military plane has arrived over Nankan and will land in five minutes."
Liao Mingyu looked up. Although he could not see the shadow of the plane, the roaring sound still slowly came from the sky.
"Has the runway been cleared?"
"Don't worry, Sir, everything has been cleared up."
Ten minutes later, the C47 transport plane finally came to a steady stop on the runway. Soon the cabin door opened, and a fat man with big muscles and round waist got out of it first.
"Salute to Commander Fan!"
More than thirty soldiers from the guard camp stood at attention and saluted. Fan Shaozeng was stunned by this scene as soon as he got off the plane. His fat face looked very surprised.
Standing at the head was a young officer with a golden face and two stars, looking at him with a smile. You didn't need to guess who this person was.
"Oh, no need to be so polite, no need to be so polite. Is this brother Liao? He is such a personable and talented person." Fan Shaozeng quickly stepped forward to greet him warmly.
"Haha, you're welcome, Sir Fan. I've prepared a table of good wine and food to welcome you. Shall we go on first?"
While speaking, Liao Mingyu also began to look up and down at the "Commander Har" in front of him.
Fan Shaozeng is not tall but his body is extremely fat. His fat military uniform is obviously made to order in an extra-large size. Unlike Krupp's tall bear style, he looks more rounded. He has a naive and round face like a rubber ball, and he smiles like Maitreya. Buddha.
"Oh, thank you, brother Liao, but don't worry, I still have some teachers. Come on, Adjutant Fan! Bring me the autographed commendation order and medal."
Behind him, Fan Bao quickly took out the commendation order and an exquisite small box from his briefcase.
"Ahem... My beloved general Liao Mingyu has made meritorious service in battle and driven the enemy away from the country. He is indeed a model for Chinese soldiers and a great blessing to the nation. He is specially awarded the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun. I hope you will live up to the expectations and create greater glory...
Fan Shaozeng held the commendation order and talked eloquently. This was something the chief had specifically explained before coming here. After all, meritorious service should be rewarded.
This time, a total of two third-class Baoding Medals, five fifth-class Baoding Medals, and more Yunhui Medals and Loyalty Medals were obtained, all to reward Long Wenwen, Chen Jize and others who fought on the front line.
Liao Mingyu smiled and took it respectfully on the surface, but he didn't take it seriously on the inside. The bald man likes to do these frivolous things to win over people's hearts.
I already have several medals, but they can’t be used as food, so what’s the use of hanging them to look good? Might as well have some actual ocean.
Besides, the 1.8 million French currency is like toilet paper. It would cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy a chicken with this useless thing. The purchasing power is getting worse every year, and the degree of inflation can be imagined.
"In addition, the head of state also ordered you to serve as the deputy of the New 88th Army. This is the appointment document. From now on... you and I will have to cooperate sincerely."
This Fan Ha'er was indeed a familiar person, and he had already started to call him brother and sister before they even exchanged a few words, but his last words moved Liao Mingyu.
The head of state actually let himself serve as deputy in the army? This is really unexpected.
I originally thought that the transfer incident was somewhat offensive to the bald man, but unexpectedly, not only did he not get angry, but he even upgraded himself to another level, which was confusing.
"This time the Ministry of Military Affairs failed to transfer you to Jiangxi. Chiang Kai-shek was also afraid that you would be uneasy, so he gave you some sweeteners to stabilize your mind."
As if he could see Liao Mingyu's hesitation, Fan Shaozeng quietly came up and said mysteriously:
"Hehe... But your baby is really good. Several big guys came forward to protect her. I... uh... I have never seen anyone with such a big face."
Liao Mingyu smiled bitterly, Fan Shaozeng was really quick-tongued and told the truth.
When any military commander takes office, there will be a large group of people, and at least there must be a guard to follow him. Fortunately for him, he didn't have anyone with him except an accompanying adjutant, and he looked as bold as a skilled man.
But it was such sincerity and lack of pretense that won Liao Mingyu a lot of favor.
…
="Five-star Chef" Snake Butt has already prepared a table of wine and food. In order to cater to Fan Shaozeng's taste, he, a Cantonese chef, also started cooking Sichuan cuisine.
"Come here, Commander Fan. It's disrespectful to have light wine and light food. Try it to see if it suits your taste."
At the wine table, Liao Mingyu greeted him warmly and invited Meng Fanlie, Milong and others to accompany him. The table of delicious food was enough to give Fan Shao more face.
"Hey, brother, don't be polite. I don't hold my tongue and eat whatever I want. Otherwise, how could I have gained such fat?" Fan Shaozeng waved his hands indifferently and joked humorously.
"Haha... Commander Fan is so quick to talk. I admire you. Come and let me toast you!"
"Commander Fan, I'd like to toast you too!"
"Haha...fuck it!"
"Zi Liu... tut!" Fan Shaozeng took a nice sip of wine and said to Liao Mingyu with a smile: "I was born in the 20th year of Guangxu's reign. I'm probably a year older than you. It's not too much to take advantage of you and call me brother, right? "
"Hey...what are you talking about? Brother Fan really thinks highly of me."
Everyone exchanged glasses happily. After three rounds of food and five drinks, everyone was almost familiar with each other, and the conversation became less formal.
Especially Milong, a stubborn drunkard, he could hardly let go of the opportunity to drink. He just threw away the cup and exchanged it for a big bowl.
Liao Mingyu also held a cup and toasted repeatedly, and the generous Fan Haer did not refuse anyone who came. The jars of liquor quickly ran out, making the adjutant Fan Bao next to him twitch his eyelids.
Needless to say, the Northeastern man's drinking capacity was as strong as drinking boiled water. Next to him was Liao Mingyu, who had an unusual physique. Even Fan Shaozeng, who had been hanging out at the drinking table for a long time, was a little unable to resist and begged for mercy again and again.
"Hey...I have never drunk so much wine on my wedding day...Brothers, be careful and slow down..." Fan Shaozeng's face turned red and his tongue was numb.
"Haha, brother Haiduan, what does this little wine count? Come and let's have a drink." Liao Mingyu picked up the cup again.
What a fuck...Are these people all bottomless pits? How can you act like a normal person after drinking several jars of liquor?
Fan Shaozeng felt a little numb looking at the wine glass in front of him. If he drank more, he might have to lie down and go home today, but wouldn't it be shameful to say that he couldn't drink it?
Just when he was in a dilemma, Fan Bao couldn't stand it any longer and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Commander, you have drunk too much. You can't drink any more. If you drink any more, you will get under the table..."
"Fart! Who said I drank too much? You son of a bitch have the right to speak to me? Why don't you come over and stay with Chief Liao?"
Fan Shaozeng winked at Fan Bao as he spoke. The latter had been following him for decades and already had a good understanding. He immediately picked up the cup and said, "Sir Liao, you are so disrespectful in your humble position. You don't remember the faults of others. I will apologize to you." , I’ll do my humble job now!”
"it's okay no problem…"
With Fan Bao sharing the firepower, Fan Shaozeng suddenly felt much more relaxed. Although he put down his wine glass, he obviously talked more. He talked about everything from all over the world, and there was no twists and turns in his words. He was straight-forward and a bit like a man in the world. Human generosity.
Liao Mingyu looked at him funny, how could this golden cicada escape from his eyes be hidden from his eyes.
Commander Har's personality is indeed as upright and face-loving as rumored, but cunning as a fox. After all, his deeds have been filmed into many TV series in later generations.
When he was young, this guy acted recklessly and did many ridiculous and shocking things. In addition, he was extremely lustful. His wife and his wife married more than 40 people. He also built a "Fan Mansion" in Sichuan specifically to visit The placement of these concubines and concubines is a rare legend among male livestock.
But there is some truth in calling him "Ha'er". Before he started his career as a warlord, this guy had been what Sichuan people often call "a great second son".
A rich young man from a scholarly and well-established family actually fell into the trap of a bandit. It was like his family clearly had a mountain of gold and silver but they just wanted to play with it and had to go to the bottom to join the society. This in itself is an incomprehensible thing, but No one expected that there would be more trouble to come.
Once when the bandits got together, everyone was complaining that "business is difficult to do" and it was almost impossible to open up the blame. This was because these bandits were very good at stealing and could not rob poor people. However, the big families had private soldiers and it was hard to do anything, so they had a lot of imagination. Fan Shaozeng, who was excited, started to propose a fist fight to determine who would win or lose, and whoever lost would rob whose home, but it was he who lost in the end.
Seeing that he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off, when everyone told him to just forget it as a joke, this guy was stunned and said that a man meant what he said, and actually led the bandits to steal half of his own granary in the middle of the night.
Later, when the incident was revealed, the old man of the Fan family killed his relatives and was buried alive. Before "dying", he even scolded the old man. In the end, if Fan Bao hadn't dug him out of the ground during the chaos, his life would have been almost sealed.
There are countless incidents like this, which all prove that Fan Shaozeng is a wonderful and complex person. However, such a straightforward and loyal person is also an iron-blooded general who made great achievements in the Anti-Japanese War.
Now that he had eaten and drank enough, Fan Shaozeng was in a daze, tapping his chopsticks on the table, and said: "Brother, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Oh? Brother Fan, it doesn't matter." Liao Mingyu looked at him curiously.
Fan Shaozeng did not answer immediately, but looked around at the people on the table. The meaning was self-evident.
"Fan La, Mi Long, Know Knife... When you are full, go out for a walk first. Commander Fan and I have military affairs to discuss in detail." Liao Mingyu understood and stood up
At six o'clock the next day...it was already dark, the dawn had just lifted the veil of night, and the stillness of the morning was particularly quiet...
On the Myitkyina position, the Japanese were eating breakfast. During this period, the enemy would fire several rounds from time to time almost every day. If they didn't deal with it quickly, they might be hungry all morning.
"If you drink this stuff every day, when will you be the boss?"
"Hirata-kun, do you still have cigarettes?"
"It's long gone, but I heard that the squad leader..."
"Baga! Don't talk, hurry up and eat!"
Several Japanese soldiers gathered together and whispered to each other. When the sergeant next to them saw it, they gave them a scolding on the spot.
Due to the enemy's long-term blockade, the entire army could only cut down on food and clothing. Each person only had a bowl of gruel that could be seen to the bottom, and the officers only had one or two rice balls at most.
Looking at the clear soup porridge in the bowl, Sergeant felt very unhappy. If the situation continued to worsen, he might not even be able to drink this porridge in the end.
Buzz buzz…
"Enemy plane?"
"Hayaku! Sound the air raid siren!"
Suddenly, a roar broke the surrounding tranquility. Alarms sounded instantly on various Japanese positions. Uneasy Japanese soldiers ran back and forth in the trenches. The tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out.
Several small dots soon appeared in the fish-belly white sky. As time went by, those small dots became larger and larger, and the number doubled. Everyone knew what would happen next.
The huge fuselage of the bomber has now been seen by everyone. All forces have worked hard for this battle. In particular, the US military has also transferred 35 B17 air fortresses from the Pacific Theater, together with more than 50 bomber groups in Southeast Asia, to secretly attack the enemy. China is coming like a mighty mountain.
The three aviation groups dispatched a total of more than 200 fighter planes to escort them. As the planes roared loudly, the noise of the engines even covered up the Japanese sirens.
"Good guy... this is a strategic-level bombing operation. If I had all these assets, I would still be a bald guy!"
Outside the forward headquarters of the Third Division, Liao Mingyu stood at a high place with a telescope and watched. The mammoth scene in front of him made people extremely excited.
At this moment, all the officers around him were like him, looking at this scene with shock in their hearts.
"Junzuo, the Japanese plane has also taken off!"
Until now, the Japanese Army Aviation Group has less than fifty combat aircraft, and most of the pilots are injured, but it is obvious that they do not intend to sit still and wait for death. Almost at the same time as the alarm sounded, Myitkyina Airport Dozens of Falcon fighter jets rose up one after another.
The air defense positions on the ground were also fully prepared. The little devil took off his camouflage, revealing a series of anti-aircraft guns of various calibers underneath, just waiting for the enemy aircraft to come within range.
call out……
"Da da da da da!"
boom! boom!
The two sides soon launched a fierce air battle. The U.S. fighter planes had an overwhelming advantage. In order to clear the obstacles for the bombers as soon as possible, they used wolf pack tactics, chasing and intercepting the Japanese fighter planes in groups of two.
The Japanese are not to be outdone, because there is no way out now. They are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of fighter planes, but they are not inferior to the opponent in terms of momentum. With the cooperation of the ground air defense system, they fight tenaciously with the US military.
The swarming fighter planes were like dense flocks of birds, as if the entire sky had become dim.
Fire snakes rose up from the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun, blooming with dazzling colors in the sky before dawn, and the delayed fuse caused the shells to explode thousands of meters in the air.
Fighter planes roared past in the sky, deafening sounds resounded through the sky, and bullets flew wildly through them. From time to time, planes dragged black smoke towards the ground and fell to the ground. Fireballs exploded in the sky were everywhere...
Although it is not as good as the air battles that often involve thousands of sorties on the European battlefield, the melee of hundreds of fighters is extremely rare on the Asian battlefield.
At this moment, the eagles in the sky were fighting, and the troops on the ground became spectators. The Japanese even used their jade-breaking tactics in the sky, frantically manipulating the aircraft to crash into the US bombers.
Coupled with the blessing of various anti-aircraft guns on the ground, the US military also suffered considerable losses for a while.
