November 30, 1940, Shancheng Airport
Li Yunlong's visit has been scheduled for a long time, but under the current situation, visiting Hans from the mountain city is by no means a simple matter. Even traveling by plane involves many problems, and the straight-line distance is nearly 8,000 kilometers. Passing through dozens of countries and involving hundreds of forces, airspace opening, weather monitoring, fuel replenishment, safety assurance, rescue preparations, and many other aspects need to be foolproof.
But how can it be so easy to implement this series of issues? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hansi and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Shancheng have been extremely busy these days, but negotiations still need to continue. The biggest problem lies in the alliance, because of their own For the sake of interests, the alliance will never allow Li Yunlong to travel on its own plane. If he has to use it, he will be replaced by an alliance pilot within the alliance.
Just when everyone involved felt that the Li Yunlong delegation would never be able to leave in November, Wang Yue, who had been in Rome for a long time, came back, and four large transport planes came back with him.
Ten transport planes were mobilized to fly to eight countries, refueled six times, and the total range was 14,000 kilometers. Are you kidding? Let’s fly non-stop!
Taking a reduced guard company to Hanslang? We are not kidding, let’s go straight to a fully reinforced company, with a uniform height of 175 and above, all equipment replaced by Teflon-coated high-end goods, and even the military uniforms were replaced by high-end military uniforms obtained by Wang Yue, just like in the drama The upright and outrageous Eighth Route Army uniform.
Even light infantry is definitely not enough. There are eight tL37 combat passenger vehicles, two Valentine infantry tanks, and four bA-10 armored vehicles. In order to spread the country's prestige abroad, Wang Yue also borrowed one from the Binzhou Museum. A Hongqi bulletproof car, this thing was definitely a top-level existence in the 1940s, even the bulletproof cars of the highest authorities could not compare.
At first, the government did not want to publicize this matter, but later, for some unknown reason, Hans actually took the initiative to release the news, and it was a very high-profile one. The Japanese government issued several protests in a row, which was very angry. Feel. Seeing this scene in the mountain city, come on, let’s stop hiding it and directly publicize it. Radio stations, newspapers, and magazines reported it one after another, promoting this visit as the biggest diplomatic victory since the Anti-Japanese War, and turning the Anti-Japanese War into a counter-offensive. Stage signs.
Today, Li Yunlong originally planned to take off directly from Qijiang County Airport, but the Ministry of Military Affairs strongly demanded that he must depart from Shancheng Airport. For this reason, he even agreed to station a regiment of Li Yunlong in the area surrounding the airport to undertake security tasks. On the further periphery, the secret service mobilized tens of thousands of people to control all areas around the airport that could threaten the airport. It was simply a fantasy for the Japanese to rely on one or two mortars to achieve success.
The Air Force was no ambiguity, mobilizing fifty of the latest fighter jets for air patrol, and there were still a hundred fighter jets on standby on the ground. As long as the Japanese dared to come, the Air Force would never give them any good fruits.
The Shancheng Air Force was really bullied by the Japs, and they have been holding back their energy to look good to the Japs these past few days. In the past few days, hundreds of bombers have been dispatched to fight, bombing the hinterland where the Japanese air defense forces were almost in a vacuum, mobilizing the Japanese Army Air Force to the greatest extent, and creating a situation that suppressed the Japanese army.
Of course, this is just an appearance. As poor people who are poorer than the Japanese army, the Yamashiro Air Force knows their own affairs. The fuel and ammunition reserves in their hands are seriously insufficient, and they have no strength to continue fighting. At present, this Alcohol is also added to the fuel, and even the bomb is a mixture of black powder and barium nitrate, which is a vivid interpretation of the word "poor".
Knowing that Li Yunlong was going to pay a high-profile visit to Hans, the Japanese would not stop. They used the few cards they had to make a few big moves, and even dispatched precious paratroopers. As a result, the dispatched fleet was defeated by the mountain city air force. The elite paratroopers who were forced to parachute midway were completely wiped out by a Sichuan Army division with less than 2,000 soldiers left. The casualties on the Sichuan Army's side were less than one-tenth of the Japanese army. As for the reason, you throw a group of paratroopers into it. In the virgin forest, you still have the nerve to ask why.
As the flower of the Imperial Army, Yamamoto's troops were naturally not idle. They sent out several waves of commandos, but without exception, they were all wiped out by the Military Command Action Team. According to the news from Kuroshima Morita, those so-called elites were all Kazuki Yamamoto was pulled out of the First Army Military Prison just to make up for the battle damage. Yamamoto Kazuki is busy building the Taiyuan defense circle at the moment. How can he have time to play death games with you?
Up to now, although the Japs are still shouting happily, they have actually given up. None of the Japs' military leaders want to continue to waste the little capital they have. Wouldn't it be nice to just show it off to Tokyo? With the resources, wouldn't it be nice for him to launch a few targeted defensive attacks?
The Japs were cheating, and the mountain city took advantage of the situation to make Li Yunlong's trip extra grand. Today, the entire mountain city turned into a sea of joy, and citizens' parades were held in almost every street.
Welcoming General Li Yunlong's visit to Hansi, praising the friendship between the two countries and promoting the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. More than 300,000 college and technical secondary school students and citizens directly participated in the parade, and nearly 100,000 military and police officers patrolling the streets. The grand march, which was comparable in scale to the restoration of Peking, not only inspired the morale of the military and the people, but also once again frightened countries around the world, forcing everyone to re-examine the mountain city government.
At the airport, the highest authorities and their wives personally saw Li Yunlong off and interacted cordially with members of the delegation including Li Yunlong. If you didn't know better, you would really think that Li Yunlong was a direct descendant of Huangpu.
However, after seeing the Eighth Route Army continuously loading heavily armed soldiers and tanks onto the plane, the top authority's mouth twitched unconsciously. It was too powerful. The power of the Eighth Route Army had begun to exceed his ability to control.
Equally frightened were the military and political officials who came to see him off. They were all not fools. Given the power of the Eighth Route Army, what would happen in the future? They have to think carefully about their choice. Of course, it has not yet reached the point where the tree has fallen and the hozen has dispersed. After all, the government has been growing stronger during this period.
Comrade Hu Bicheng, who was standing next to the highest authority, also took into account everyone's performance. Although the smile on his face remained unchanged, his mood was already different. It was just different from the thoughts of everyone in the mountain city. He thought What is more important is how to make good use of the current situation, for the benefit of the country and the people, to end this war as soon as possible, and to restore peace to the people, because we have always abandoned war.
