It takes half a day to go from Dagu Town to Shanyin to the ancient town by horseback, but it is only a short trip by plane.
It was the first time for Hu Zhiyong and the four of them to fly in the sky on an airplane. Watching the mountains and rivers passing by beneath their feet, the haze in their hearts caused by the Zhangzhuang gas bomb was immediately swept away, and they were chattering excitedly in the cabin.
Hu Zhiyong boldly ran into the cockpit to watch Xie Tian fly the plane. Xie Tian seemed to want to change his mood. He looked back at Hu Zhiyong and asked, "Do you want to learn to fly a plane?"
Hu Zhiyong nodded repeatedly and said one word clearly: "I want to."
Xie Tian pointed at the co-pilot: "Sit there and I'll teach you."
Hu Zhiyong's face was so excited that his face was filled with blood. He hurriedly sat in the passenger seat, but he didn't dare to touch anything with his hands.
Seeing Hu Zhiyong sitting in the seat to fly the plane, the other three guards all crowded to the door of the cockpit and shouted noisily: "Commander, I also want to learn to fly a plane."
Xie Tian's eyes widened: "Then you have to come one by one, stand there and watch me, I will tell you from the beginning..."
Xie Tian taught with all his heart, and Hu Zhiyong, the four of them, studied with all their heart. Learning to fly an airplane is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but Xie Tian was anxious.
There are still two unmanned Zero fighter jets parked at Zhangzhuang Airport. With these two planes in hand, Xie Tian is like a golden cudgel in his hand. He is confident that he can turn the northwest of Shanxi upside down.
Feeling that these four guys had understood the basic operating procedures of airplane piloting, Xie Tian tentatively transferred the driving rights to Hu Zhiyong. As a result, as soon as he got started, this guy forgot all about what Xie Tian just said and almost got into trouble. One of the planes crashed and everyone was killed. Xie Tian was so frightened that he hurriedly took over the piloting rights and pulled the plane up again. He glared at Hu Zhiyong and yelled: "You are driving the plane like a fucking tank. Go behind it. Do you dare to touch the plane again?" I’ll beat you into a pig’s head.”
This is no joke. Tanks run on the ground and hit wherever they hit without any pain or itching. It would be ridiculous if a plane really hit it.
It seems that we still need to make a simulated cockpit for them on the ground, at least to let these guys get familiar with the operating procedures first.
Hu Zhiyong frightened himself into a cold sweat. Now he finally calmed down after being scolded, and he was eager to try. He looked at Xie Tian eagerly and said cautiously: "Master, why don't you let me try again? I feel like I touched the door."
Xie Tian's eyes widened: "If you fucking try again, the four of us will all confess."
No, you can't mess around like this, someone will die.
An entry-level assessment is required.
Xie Tian now has tens of thousands of troops. It would be great if he could find a few more geniuses like Zhang Xingsheng among these tens of thousands of troops.
Flying over Shanyin, Xie Tian's mentality calmed down a lot.
There is no war in Shanyin. Xie Tian knows that Xu Shiyou is not in Shanyin now. The others have not interacted with each other for a long time, and they simply did not contact him and flew directly to the ancient town.
It didn't matter that Xie Tian made this circle over Shanyin, but it shocked the leaders of the 386th Brigade. Zhao Gang almost kidnapped the leaders into the tunnel.
With such a big guy flying over, how many bombs would have to be thrown down?
A few Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers could tell the difference between bombers and transport aircraft, and naturally they believed that the larger the aircraft, the more bombs it could carry.
Nowadays, people's awareness of war is still stuck in the concept that guns are king. Don't you know that the transport plane above you can carry weapons more terrifying than the 200 kilogram bombs of the bombers? Just such a small one-piece cyanide grenade We can clear out half of Shanyin County, even if you hide in a bunker, it won't work.
The transport plane flew over the ancient town. Japanese troops were stationed in the ancient town, including the two hills outside the town. There was no obvious battle on the ground, but Xie Tian knew that the battle between Li Yunlong and Nakamura's division was still going on.
In fact, the Nakamura Division is now in a dilemma. After continuing to fight so many sky battles, it finally broke through the Pingxing Pass and reached here. However, most of its soldiers were lost, and supplies of food and ammunition were also beginning to be in short supply. As a result, Li Yunlong was again I was entangled in a small place like the ancient town.
Abe's brigade was completely wiped out in Zhangzhuang and Shanin, and the Japanese's original plan had been disrupted. Now the Nakamura division can still receive support from North China, but if it continues to move forward, it will fall into a situation of fighting alone.
Although the Nakamura Division and the Japs in Yangquan, Datong and Taiyuan still maintain this strategic posture of echoing each other from a distance, it is still a bit far away. If they want to echo, it will take ten days and a half.
Therefore, to put it nicely or to put it poorly, the three Japanese divisions entrenched in northwest Shanxi and the two Kwantung Army divisions that came to support have been divided by the various departments of the Second Theater. Likewise, the Second Several legions in the war zone are also in a state of division. Everyone is feeling very uncomfortable now, and they are unable to organize an overwhelming force to break the current deadlock.
However, wars still have to be fought, but they all turn into local wars. Sometimes the east wind prevails over the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overpowers the east wind. The pressure comes and goes, and the wind leaks out everywhere.
Xie Tian circled around the ancient town for several times and got a rough understanding of the battle situation. He tried to contact Li Yunlong on the radio, but after calling for a long time without receiving a response, he simply gave up and flew to Dagu Town.
The temporary runway outside Dagu Town has also been built. It just leveled the land and removed some obstructive trees. Now there are thousands of recruits gathered in Dagu Town. With more people and more strength, this project will be completed quickly. .
The plane slowly landed on the runway, and Qin Fen and others trotted to greet Xie Tian.
Qin Fen has already spoken to Wu Wenhua on the phone and knows how the battle of Zhangzhuang was fought.
This gas bomb was so terrifying. In just a few minutes, it killed a regiment of Japanese soldiers and a security group of puppet soldiers. That was several thousand people.
After Qin Fen learned the news, he only informed Li Changshun and a few key people. They were talking about the same thing before Xie Tian came back, and everyone felt chills on their backs.
Xie Tian got off the plane, glanced at Hu Zhiyong and others who were carefully carrying the ammunition box behind him, turned to Qin Fen, who was jogging to meet him, and asked: "Have the soldiers been arranged to set up defenses outside Zhangzhuang?"
"The second regiment has already rushed over after receiving the order. Ma Dong just called back and has completed the deployment. They also brought some live poultry and livestock from Dagu Town and placed them within the cordon. No poisonous gas has been found yet. scope."
The Second Regiment has many veterans and is resolute in executing orders.
Qin Fen did not dare to let the newly established Bu San Regiment carry out such an important task.
Xie Tian nodded: "Go to the division headquarters and help me prepare some cement."
"cement?"
Qin Fen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly agreed loudly.
