Commander Zhang of the Air Force was also unlucky. He came from Nanjing during the day to take command of the front line. When the enemy cavalry attacked in the early morning, he was dragged away into the night by two alert staff officers in his sleep. One of them was halfway He was hit by a stray bullet and fell to the ground. He and the staff member survived by diving directly into the water.
After soaking in the water for half the night, they didn't dare to come up at dawn. They were already exhausted. I don't know how much water they had poured. When Sun Dazhu found them, they didn't even have the strength to go ashore. Sun Dazhu and the others found a few sticks and threw them in the water. The long bamboo poles at the water's edge dragged them up.
After the two men finally regained their breath and put on clean clothes with the help of the team members, Commander Zhang had the energy to observe the group of ridiculously young saviors, but no officers with military ranks were found.
So he said: "Excuse me, which part are you from? Who is your commander? I want to ask your commander to take credit for you, and thank you for your help."
Zhou Wen immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Commander Zhang, we are the temporary transportation team of the headquarters. I am the captain Zhou Wen. We don't have a commander yet. The principal personally ordered us to come to the airport to investigate and search."
Commander Zhang's just-recovered sanity is a little confused again. What headquarters has temporarily organized a transportation team? What kind of organization is this? This young captain actually has no military rank, or was it ordered by the principal himself? When will the principal personally order a big soldier? This head is a bit messy and I'm going to faint again.
Zhou Wen now also knew that he often ruined people's outlook on life, and said quickly: "Commander Zhang, please get on your horse as soon as possible. We will wait until we get to the headquarters. The principal is anxiously waiting for us to report back."
But he didn't know that his words were still destroying Commander Zhang's sanity. When will the principal wait impatiently for a report from a top soldier? You're such a big shot and you actually get to meet the principal often? Oops, maybe I soaked in water for half the night and got confused.
Now the two men could not run fast, they could only sit on the horse and let the team members help lead the horse forward. Commander Zhang now saw the tragic situation at the airport and burst into tears all the way.
Suddenly, the staff officer named Wu Shaojiang shouted: "Wait a minute." After saying that, he jumped off the horse, staggered to a corpse, slowly knelt down and cried: "Zhijian, Zhijian!" Commander Zhang also came to the corpse and shed tears.
Wu Shaojiang choked up and said: "Zhijian has always been very strong, and his ability is a hundred times higher than mine. But because of one mistake, he has been depressed. I originally wanted to have a good talk with him after the next mission is completed, but now the hero has returned. .”
Commander Zhang held back his tears and persuaded in a low voice: "Shaojiang, please forgive me and accept the change. Zhijian died for the country and deserved his death. He should be a role model for our generation. Let's collect his body and bury him."
Zhou Wen and the others helped carry the body to the ground beside the runway and buried it first. Wu Shaojiang marked it and could only take care of it later.
On the way back, Zhou Wencai learned that this staff officer was named Lin Zhijian, and that he and Wu Shaojiang were both Air Force command and staff officers who had returned from studying in France and joined the army. Not long ago, when bombing the enemy's headquarters and artillery positions, the wrong map was marked. The target village was called Liuzhuanghu, but Lin Zhijian marked Liujiahu, which was 10 miles away.
As a result, the air force bombed, the artillery followed suit, and the infantry then launched an attack. The enemy's headquarters and artillery were unscathed, but the attacking troops on our side suffered heavy losses. The infantry commander was going crazy, and the lawsuit went directly to the principal. Lin Zhijian was dismissed from his post and transferred from his post to observe the consequences.
Zhou Wen was also sighing after hearing this. The names of these villages in China are really deceiving. You should also take this as a warning in the future.
While Zhou Wen and the others were still busy at the airport, Xuzhou's support force, a regiment of the Second Division of the National Army, arrived by train. The lieutenant general who came down first made arrangements for the regiment commander and several of his officers, and then hurried to see the principal.
The Second Division is the direct line unit of the principal. It has great military achievements and has always been extremely arrogant in the army. The 18th Regiment arrived first today. After getting off the train, the soldiers dispersed by unit and set up security around them.
The regiment leader led his people to patrol around and walked into the battlefield last night. Looking at the dead bodies of people and horses on the ground, I felt a sigh of relief in my heart. This principal's security company is really extraordinary. Looking at this scene, basically all the hundreds of people and horses who attacked last night are here. It's amazing.
Then he ordered his men to call people to clean the battlefield and bury the bodies. I walked casually and came to the high slope. I saw a group of young soldiers resting. The high slope was piled with guns and ammunition, and there were dozens of prisoners and wounded people. The key is that there are nearly a hundred war horses.
This regiment leader is also knowledgeable. He can tell at a glance that it is a genuine war horse. He knows that it was captured last night. When he looks at those guns and ammunition, his heart heats up.
So he showed off his power, stepped forward with his hands behind his back and asked, "Which section are you from? Where are your officers?"
Gao Xiaoshan stepped out from the crowd, stood at attention and saluted: "Sir, we are from the transportation team. Our commander is not here, so we went to the airport for investigation."
The team leader felt more relieved after hearing this. What is the transport team? It is the logistics of logistics. With that, things are yours. I have to thank the security company. I followed the principal and had never seen anything. How could I see something like this? You are all benefiting from this. When you go back, you must give Captain Sun some heavy gifts.
Thinking of this, he waved his hands casually as if to ward off flies and said: "Okay, what's the matter with you guys here? Go back to where you came from."
Gao Xiaoshan also saw that the officer did not want to see his group, and stopped talking. He turned to the team members and said: "Everyone is here, pack up, move all the captured items to the horse, and prepare to set off."
The regiment leader became unhappy when he saw it, and shouted loudly: "I am ordering you to leave, but keep your guns and horses. I'll give you my face. If you dare to touch my things, get out of here."
Now the young people understood that they were here to rob and seize. It was okay. We were all there to rob others. When would it be someone else's turn to rob us? Immediately, everyone's eyes became unkind, and the guy put everything at ease and looked at Gao Xiaoshan's intentions.
Gao Xiaoshan was also angry, but he was a stable person and could not get angry rashly yet, otherwise the brothers would lose control of their emotions and do bad things if he took the lead.
At this time, Xu Dacheng's high-pitched voice made him sigh in relief. At this time, someone had to come out to punch, so that he could have room for change from behind.
"Why? Why do we say that what we captured during the battle belongs to you? Sir, where were you during the battle last night? How many were killed?
Or are we saying that everything we fight for with our lives belongs to the chief’s family? That officer is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and is our enemy. We dare not carry out the enemy's orders. Brothers, we are not leaving. "
