Xie Tian frowned in deep thought, and Qin Fen and Wu Wenhua did not dare to disturb him. They knew that Xie Tian would definitely make big moves at such moments.
The problem is that you, the old man, made too much noise in Taiyuan this time, and we haven't had time to digest it yet.
At this time, Tang Haoer brought over a bowl of pimple soup and placed it in front of Xie Tian: "Let's eat something first."
I just asked, thank God I haven’t had dinner yet.
At the time of dinner, Xie Tian was singing Hao Hei Yo over Peach Blossom Island. Not only did he not eat, but the entire Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City who were dragged down by him did not eat dinner, and they were all still hungry.
On the contrary, Tang Haoer and the others came back one step ahead of Xie Tian and ate together with the troops.
Xie Tian absent-mindedly took the chopsticks and took a few bites. He had already made up his mind. He looked up at Qin Fen and Wu Wenhua in front of him and said, "The battle of the Eighth Route Army against Shanyin County is closely related to us. Why should I give Xu Xie The deputy brigade commander and Li Yunlong are here to help. Send my order, the first battalion will stick to Zhangzhuang, and the second battalion, the armored infantry battalion, and the artillery battery will set off early tomorrow morning to support the Eighth Route Army troops in the battle in Shanyin."
"Yes", Wu Wenhua responded loudly and excitedly.
The artillery platoon fought a beautiful ambush in Paektu Mountain, and assisted the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in repelling two Japanese regiments. As a reward, Zhang Xingsheng led the artillery platoon to a collective upgrade to the first level, and Xie Tian added dozens of veterans. , now the artillery company has three artillery platoons, one platoon has three squads, each squad has a capacity of nine people, and is divided into three combat groups. Each combat group is equipped with one 60 mortar or 70 mortar, and two A self-defense pistol, a 38-gauge gun. With such strength, Xie Tian dared to boast to Xu Lixin that the artillery battery was an artillery battalion.
Seeing Wu Wenhua's proud look, Qin Fen snorted and said: "Chief of Staff Wu, do you still think that you are the second battalion commander? Why are you so happy about leading troops to fight? You just stay here." Just keep an eye on the house, this time I will be responsible for leading the second battalion, the armored infantry battalion and the artillery battery to support the Eighth Route Army, right, commander?"
"No, I'm familiar with the second battalion. It's best for me to lead the team, right?"
Xie Tianzhan decisively ended the dispute between the two: "Deputy Captain Qin will lead the team in this battle. Wenhua will give you an important task."
"What mission?"
"Immediately arrange for someone to pick up Li Changshun. No matter what method you use, you must bring him back to me."
After following Xie Tian for so long, Wu Wenhua already knew Xie Tian's feelings for the soldiers, not to mention that the person he was going to meet now was Li Changshun.
Wu Wenhua responded: "I will immediately arrange for someone to set off overnight to pick up Battalion Commander Li."
Calculating time, if everything goes well, Li Changshun should be on his way back now.
It was already dark when Xie Tian came back, and he couldn't tell which one on the ground was Li Changshun.
Taiyuan is now in chaos. Maybe the Japanese will block the city, making it twice as difficult for Li Changshun to escape from Taiyuan.
Xie Tian doesn't want to play another drama of breaking into a prison and robbing a prison, that drama is not easy to perform.
Xie Tian nodded and looked at Qin Fen and said, "Go and deploy. Arrange for someone to fill up the plane with bullets and fuel. I will support you in the air tomorrow."
I don’t know how long this Zero fighter can be kept. Thank God, I am prepared to race against time to squeeze out all the value of this aircraft.
Hearing that Xie Tian was going out to fight without stopping, Tang Haoer secretly sighed in his heart and turned around to leave first.
The world is big, and fighting the Japanese is still the most important thing now. As for Xie Baoqing, this big liar, I will slowly interrogate him when he is free.
My big liar, what kind of person are you?
Tang Haoer left, Wu Wenhua also left, but Qin Fen looked at Xie Tian with a sad face, looked at Xie Tian embarrassedly and said: "Captain, this..."
Xie Tian looked at Qin Fen doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Qin Fen coughed twice and said awkwardly: "You'd better do it for us yourself when it comes to refueling the plane and replenishing ammunition. We've never done this before, so we don't know where to start."
Xie Tian woke up and laughed: "I was negligent. Let's go together after I finish eating."
Xie Tian used to be a pilot, so he basically didn't have to worry about ground operations, but that's not the case now. These soldiers have never even seen an airplane and don't know where to start, let alone check the status of the airplane.
Now the Zero fighter was dragged into the warehouse of Zhangzhuang Carriage and Horses by the soldiers. This is the only existing warehouse in Zhangzhuang that can fit this big guy. Even so, half of the wall was demolished when it was pushed in.
When Xie Tian and Qin Fen arrived, there were people standing inside and outside the warehouse. It was refreshing to see the plane at such a close distance.
Xie Tian walked through the crowd with a smile, greeted the soldiers and asked, "Want to learn to fly a plane?"
"I want to learn," dozens of people replied in unison.
Tiedan jumped over from in front of the plane and grabbed Xie Tian: "Godfather, I want to learn too."
No wonder I haven't seen this kid for a long time. It turns out that this kid came here to see something new.
Xie Tian smiled and said: "If you want to learn, it's easy. Learn all the words for me. When I get back, I will be free to give you a college entrance examination. I will teach you how to fly a plane if you get the top score in the exam."
There were boos inside and outside the warehouse. Reading was more difficult for the soldiers than fighting, especially this kid Tiedan. The two characters "Xie Jin" have not been completely written yet. Either there is a little less here or an extra horizontal line there. He lost his temper and started writing. Throw it away and say: I don’t want to learn anymore.
This guy even went to discuss changing his name with Xie Tian. He wanted to be called Ding Yi, and for no other reason than because of the few strokes in his name. As you can imagine, he got beaten up by Xie Tian.
You bastard, you still want to change your name to save fewer strokes. Believe it or not, I will change your name to Xie La tomorrow. I will kill you.
Hearing the boos, Xie Tian's eyes widened and he cursed: "You can't even recognize the words and still want to fly a plane? I'm going to tell you some common sense about flying, do you understand? Go back and have a rest." There is a combat mission tomorrow. If you don't have enough rest, go to the battlefield and let me pull you over to see how I deal with you."
The soldiers laughed and stepped back. Someone asked reluctantly: "Commander, do you have to be literate to learn to fly a plane?"
Qin Fen smiled and drove the soldiers away: "Go back and rest quickly. Tomorrow we are going to conquer the Japs. Everyone must be energetic and follow the regiment leader to kill the Japs tomorrow."
After dispersing the soldiers, Xie Tian explained to Qin Fen how to refuel the plane and replenish ammunition. Qin Fen had a headache when he saw the ammunition needed for the Zero fighter.
"We have a lot of 7.7mm machine gun ammunition, but we really don't have the 20mm machine gun ammunition, and we don't even have the aerial bombs. Commander, I think we should build an arsenal, even if We don’t yet have the ability to make our own weapons and ammunition, but a lot of the equipment we have needs an arsenal to repair it.”
Xie Tian nodded: "We will study this matter carefully later. First find me a few soldiers who know some maintenance and I will lead them. No matter what, the ground service must be started first. Every time the aircraft completes a mission, it needs Overhaul and ammunition replenishment.”
Qin Fen responded and hurriedly went to find someone. Now there are only a handful of soldiers in the army who know something about maintenance, and they are basically assigned to the armored infantry battalion.
