At around ten o'clock in the evening, the first column, which had been equipped as a mechanized force, rushed to Caizhuang Airport. It effortlessly recaptured Caizhuang Airport, which was guarded by only one platoon of appeasement troops. It was able to use the radio to contact Xie Tian in the city. .
As an unexpected surprise, the soldiers discovered a Zero fighter that should be under maintenance in the hangar. Gao Cheng hurriedly reported the news to Xie Tian on the radio.
Xie Tian was overjoyed and ordered Gao Cheng to leave one company of troops to guard the airport, while the rest of the troops went into the city to support the Second Regiment and eliminate the remaining enemies in Taiyuan City as soon as possible, especially the power plant. They must find ways to protect the power plant.
He turned to thank Tian and ordered to Hu Zhiyong: "Go and ask the people where they can find a car nearby, and grab a car for me."
Hu Zhiyong ran away in a flash, trying to atone for his sins.
Chu Yunfei looked at Xie Tian and asked, "Are you going to fly a plane?"
Xie Tian nodded: "Brother Yunfei, you are here to take command. I will go to Caizhuang to take a look. If the fighter jet can be used, I will track the whereabouts of Gangmura Neji's troops, and maybe we can catch up. "
Okamura Neiji led a large force to stay day and night. He had left Taiyuan City three days ago. Xie Tian had already drawn three big circles on the map. Now there was still a glimmer of hope that he could catch up with Okamura Neiji.
It was impossible to march at night without even a single light for the entire army. As long as Okamura Neji dared to light a light, it would be easier for Xie Tian to pursue him in the air and find his whereabouts.
Chu Yunfei knew he couldn't stop Xie Tian, so he nodded and said: "Pay attention to safety, you are more important than Okamura Neji."
Xie Tian laughed and patted Chu Yunfei's arm: "Don't compare me with that old bastard. We will have several troops arrive before midnight. Then you can look at the dispatch and say, "Taiyuan City must be destroyed." It is firmly in our hands."
Chu Yunfei nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Taiyuan belongs to our People's Liberation Army. It won't be easy for other troops to come."
Xie Tian hummed: "I'm not worried about the south. We need to put more troops in the west and northwest."
Chu Yunfei smiled bitterly, Xie Tian was just in case Yan Xishan came to rob Taiyuan.
Yan Xishan is Chu Yunfei's old club. Based on Chu Yunfei's understanding of Yan Xishan, he will definitely come to rob Taiyuan, and he will not even hesitate to fight.
Yan Xishan was timid in fighting the Japanese, but he never showed mercy when fighting his own people. Otherwise, how could he have become the strongest among the ten warlords in the middle and late period of the Republic of China?
For this old club, Chu Yunfei could only sigh. After all, Yan Xishan had been kind to him, and he really didn't want to meet Yan Xishan in battle.
About twenty minutes later, two cars came honking their horns on the street outside Dayanglou. The people gathered on the street hurriedly gave way to the two cars.
Hu Zhiyong grabbed two police cars. Taking away a police station was easier for him and the soldiers of the mobile platoon than taking things out of pockets.
Xie Tian shook hands with Chu Yunfei and strode downstairs. The people gathered outside the door immediately became excited when they saw Xie Tian coming out of Dayang Building.
Xie Tian waved to the people and got into the car. The guard stood on the pedal, holding the door with one hand and holding an MP40 with the other to open the way. It was like a warlord traveling in a movie, so majestic.
Damn it, Xie Tian is now a warlord. He has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and controls tens of thousands of square kilometers of land. His strength is no worse than the top ten warlords.
The two cars squeezed through the crowd and drove out of the city in the direction of Caizhuang. It is worth mentioning that the people who had gathered outside Dayanglou dispersed soon after seeing Xie Tian leave, which made Deputy Master Chu feel uncomfortable. Not interesting.
When the car arrived at Caizhuang Airport, Gao Cheng had already led a large force into the city. There was only one company of soldier guards left at Caizhuang Airport. None of these soldiers knew anything about airplanes, and they didn't even dare to touch them for fear of being in danger. Broken.
Hou Kaide, the company commander who stayed behind at Caizhuang Airport, saw Xie Tian arriving and hurriedly led Xie Tian into the hangar.
Seeing the Zero fighter in the hangar, Xie Tian stepped forward to check.
Xie Tian always has a love for airplanes, even if the plane in front of him is a Japanese Zero fighter.
Since Xie Tian cleverly seized the first Zero fighter, fighter jets have made great contributions to the rise of the People's Liberation Army and played a vital role in several wars.
Xie Tian carefully inspected the plane from beginning to end, with a smile on his face.
There is nothing wrong with this aircraft. It is probably just undergoing routine maintenance. Even the fuel tanks and ammunition compartments are full. The only regret is that there are no aerial bombs loaded.
As for why the Japanese didn't take the plane away, didn't they have time? Or did the pilot burp? Only ghosts will know.
Xie Tian climbed into the cockpit along the ladder and tried to start the plane. It started successfully once. He checked the status of the instruments and found that everything was in good condition.
Xie Tian nodded with satisfaction and stuck his head out of the cockpit to give instructions to Hou Kaide, Hu Zhiyong and others below the plane: "Open the hangar door, I'll go after Okamura Neji, you stay here and protect the airport. "
Caizhuang Airport has already been severely damaged by Xie Tian. He attacked him again and again. Even the control tower, oil depot and ammunition depot were destroyed by Xie Tian. As a result, now that the airport is in his own hands, he has to spend all his efforts to rebuild it. This can be regarded as his own fault. Well, no matter what, the ownership rights have changed.
Hu Zhiyong and others hurriedly ran over and opened the already open hangar door completely. They were envious as they watched the Xie Tian stance fighter slowly drive out of the hangar.
When Xie Tian trained pilots, they were selected throughout the army. Almost all of these people participated in the selection. Many of them were rejected in the first round of selection. Hu Zhiyong barely made it to the third round of selection and was eliminated. But after all, this guy was also the first person in the People's Liberation Army besides Xie Tian to fly a plane. He almost caused a plane crash and even Xie Tian was almost reimbursed by him.
The Zero fighter taxied on the cleared runway, accelerated into the air, and quickly disappeared into the night.
With airplanes came radio stations. Xie Tian first circled around Taiyuan to have a rough look at the battle situation. He couldn't see anything in the dark. He mainly talked to Chu Yunfei and Li Quan on the radio to understand each other. Check out the battle situation.
Then Xie Tian made another big circle in the air, checked the situation of the troops coming to Taiyuan, and called each other to inquire. Only then did he feel confident and pursue the direction in which he presumed that Okamura Neiji's troops had escaped.
He had been escaping for more than three days, and it was still unknown whether he could catch up. However, Xie Tian was sure that Okamura Neji would not be able to escape the limit cruising distance of the Zero fighter in three days.
