Xie Tian's favor was as smooth as water. He not only found a way out for his unattractive father-in-law, but also gave Xu Lixin a great contribution. Along the way, he also allowed the Second War Zone to move around and cause some trouble for little Japan.
However, Xie Tian didn't expect that his casual words would transfer Li Yunlong again.
The headquarters of the Second Theater Command sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighteenth Group Army (Eighth Route Army), ordering the 386th Brigade of the Eighteenth Group Army to cooperate with the Eastern Front operations and recover Sanin on the same day.
The only one closest to Shanyin was the Li Yunlong Independent Regiment that occupied the ancient town, so the order naturally went to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong scolded his mother as he gathered his troops and drove towards Shanyin. However, this time he did not scold Xie Baoqing because he did not know that Xie Tian was behind this and thought it was the commander of the Second Theater Command who was giving blind orders. .
There are Japanese soldiers, an infantry regiment and an artillery regiment in Shanyin. I only have a few battalions of troops. How can I fight this battle?
Li Yunlong didn't know that Xie Tian's men had blown up the ammunition depot of the Japanese Artillery Regiment last night, otherwise this guy would have screamed and pounced on him and taken a few bites.
What was even more surprising was that when the ammunition depot was bombed, the artillery wing captain Sato Osaka was taking his three captains to count the artillery shells in the ammunition depot. As a result, a huge explosion occurred from beneath his feet without any warning. Boxes of artillery shells The stronghold where the ammunition depot was located was dented, and the underworld received another group of confused ghosts who didn't even know how they died.
Let’s not talk about how Li Yunlong chewed the hard nut of Shanyin. Zhang Wannian, the captain of the Caizhuang Security Brigade, and a group of his subordinates were standing at the gate of the stronghold and were almost starry-eyed. Finally, a sharp-eyed subordinate pointed at the three cars that had just appeared on the road and shouted. Get up: "Coming, coming."
Zhang Wannian hurriedly arranged his military uniforms and ordered his men: "Move the deer and firewood."
Several of his subordinates took a moment to congratulate Zhang Wannian: "Congratulations to the captain on your promotion."
Zhang Wannian laughed and said, "You guys do a good job for me. I will help you if you have the chance."
At that time, Tang Jingyao personally called Zhang Wannian and told him that he would be promoted to commander of the Taiyuan Security Brigade and given the rank of lieutenant colonel. Otherwise, Zhang Wannian would have stood waiting at the gate of the stronghold for more than an hour.
The three cars quickly drove in front of Zhang Wannian and others. Zhang Wannian recognized the car of Tang Jingyao who was leading the car, trotted forward and followed the car for a few steps. When the car stopped, he fawningly helped Tang Jingyao open the door. He stood at attention and saluted, bent down and raised his hand to block the door. On the frame, a set of movements is also done smoothly.
Tang Jingyao got out of the car and casually returned the salute to the people who were saluting him, and introduced Xie Tian who followed him out of the car: "Let me introduce to you, this is Major Xie Baoqing, he will Take over Wan Nian’s job and serve as the captain of Caizhuang Security Brigade.”
Zhang Wannian's subordinates hurried forward to meet Xie Tian. They stood at attention, saluted and shook hands.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Zhang Wannian has been promoted. The Major Xie in front of them will be their immediate boss in the future. What's more, Commander Tang personally sent him to take up the post. He must have a strong background and need to be currying favor with him.
Zhang Wannian proudly invited Tang Jingyao to the stronghold to inspect and lecture. Tang Jingyao waved his hand: "I don't have time today. Commander Shinozuka has a banquet to attend in the evening. Wannian, you come with me tonight and I will introduce you to Shinozuka." Commander."
Zhang Wannian was overjoyed and stood at attention with an excited expression and saluted: "I would like to thank the Commander for your support. I will definitely follow the Commander's lead from now on and will not hesitate to do anything wrong."
Although Zhang Wannian is Tang Jingyao's subordinate, he is not Tang Jingyao's person. The two belong to different factions. Now that he is unexpectedly promoted by Tang Jingyao, it is simply pie in the sky.
Tang Jingyao smiled and took the letter of appointment from the adjutant and sent it to Zhang Wannian and Xie Tian respectively, and said: "Time is tight today, so I won't say more words of encouragement. I hope all colleagues will continue their efforts and make new achievements."
Zhang Wannian and others, including Xie Tian, all stood at attention and saluted: "Yes"
Tang Jingyao waved to Zhang Wannian: "Wannian, please follow me. Thank you, Major, for being so close to your colleagues. I'll leave first."
After that, Tang Jingyao and Zhang Wannian got into the car and turned around without even entering the stronghold.
He was very pressed for time and had to run away.
Xie Tian and others stood at attention and saluted and watched Tang Jingyao's two cars leave. Xie Tian then turned to the people around him to shake hands again: "Everyone, we will be colleagues from now on. I will treat you all to a big dinner tonight."
These deputy squadron leaders rushed to compliment Xie Tian. In short, they just said blah blah blah, and they said too much to be irritating.
Xie Tian laughed: "I'm not familiar with the situation of our team. Please accompany me to show around our defense area and get to know everyone."
"That's what it should be." Several people smiled and nodded. The deputy captain stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to guide Xie Tian: "Come here, please. Our Caizhuang Security Brigade is mainly responsible for the peripheral security work of the Imperial Army's Caizhuang Airport... …”
The Caizhuang Garrison Brigade is equivalent to a regular regiment-level establishment. The former captain Zhang Wannian liked his subordinates to call him regiment commander, and his subordinates adopted this title.
Li Changshun drove slowly behind Xie Tian and the others. The others followed to protect Mr. Tang and his family as well as Tang Haoer and the others as they evacuated towards Dagu Town. Only Li Changshun was left to follow Xie Tian. Now Li Changshun's identity is Xie Tian. The driver of this security brigade captain, Xie Tian only brought one car and one driver when he took office, which would not arouse any suspicion.
Even if only one person takes office, there will always be some luggage and belongings.
But no one noticed that the load capacity of this Ford car seemed to be a bit high. Could it be that the trunk of this car was filled with gold bars?
Next to the stronghold is the entrance to Caizhuang Airport. Through the barbed wire fence, you can see the Zero fighter jets and Type 99 dive bombers parked at the airport. However, you need to pass through two guards to enter the airport.
The first guard is responsible for the Caizhuang Security Brigade, which is mainly responsible for the outer security of the first barbed wire fence and the patrol between the first and second barbed wire fences. There is a guard every two hours, patrol every half hour during the day, and every ten minutes at night. Patrol once.
The Japanese airport squadron is responsible for guarding the second line. Chinese soldiers, except for a few privileged personnel, are strictly prohibited from entering the second barbed wire fence. Anyone who violates the order will be shot.
Xie Tian pretended to inspect a few sentry posts, and even stopped a group of patrolling soldiers to ask if there was anything unusual. It was all like that, but Xie Tian's ultimate goal was naturally the airport within the second barbed wire fence.
Smelling the familiar smell in the air, Xie Tian smiled.
