"Brother, I want to find Li Hang, Li Hang from the 23rd Squadron."
"Chief Li? He's not here."
"Brother, can you help me find Liang Tiancheng? He's also from the 23rd Squadron."
Chen Rong arrived at Hankou Airport, parked his car on the side of the road, got out of the car and went to the guard box, took out a pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into the hands of the soldier on duty.
When he heard that Li Hang was not at the airport, Chen Rong's heart sank and he became a little worried.
Could it be that what the little devil’s leaflet said was true?
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment when he saw the pack of Golden Brand cigarettes, and hesitated whether to accept them.
This cigarette is not cheap, it is a very famous cigarette in Wuhan.
After the fall of Shanghai and other places, many good cigarettes in Shanghai were affected.
Although they can also be sold to Wuhan through smuggling or sea routes, the price is much higher. Therefore, in Wuhan’s cigarette market, Golden Brand cigarettes have become the most popular.
In addition, Jane Brothers’ Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes are also very popular.
The Chen family also has its own cigarette factory, but it is not Golden Brand or Yellow Crane Tower. It is an unknown small brand. It ranks among the top five local cigarette brands and has a certain market.
"Who are you, Chief Liang?" Zhao Dahai was a little confused when he heard that Chen Rong in front of him spoke with a local Wuhan accent.
You must know that Liang Tiancheng’s ancestral home is Fujian, and he is not a native of Wuhan.
"Brother, I am Li Hang's eldest brother. I heard that something happened to Li Hang and my family is worried, so I came to inquire about it.
Isn't Squadron Leader Liang Li Hang's colleague? So I wanted to ask him about the situation. "Chen Rong said politely.
"Chief Li's eldest brother? He is an overseas Chinese. Where does the eldest brother come from in China?" Zhao Dahai was a little confused.
"You are confused. Chief Li has no eldest brother, Miss Chen! Is this gentleman the eldest brother of Miss Chen?"
"Brother, I am Chen Lu's eldest brother."
"Mr. Chen, wait a moment. I will send someone to notify Chief Liang. Dahai, what are you still doing? Go call Chief Liang and tell him that Chief Li's uncle is here." Chen Yang kicked Zhao Dahai. , the latter quickly ran away.
When Chen Rong saw this, he immediately took out a pack of Golden Brand cigarettes from his entourage, looked around, and put it into the pocket of the soldier in front of him.
"Mr. Chen, what are you doing?"
"It's just a pack of cigarettes. My brother is tired from duty. I found a leaflet at home. I heard something happened to Li Hang, so I came to ask."
"Mr. Chen, this is what happened. Chief Li's plane was shot down, but he is fine." When he heard that this was the case, Chen Yang touched the cigarette in his pocket and told him what he knew.
"Is it really okay?" Chen Rong was a little excited when he heard this.
"It's okay. Chief Li is such a powerful person, how could a kid harm him?" When Li Hang was mentioned, the look of admiration on Chen Yang's face was directly revealed.
"So what's Li Hang's situation now?"
"Mr. Chen, this is not something we little people can know. But Chief Li is really fine. I can guarantee you this."
After hearing this, Chen Rong felt more relieved.
It was true that the plane was shot down, but the people were fine.
After a while, he waited for Liang Tiancheng, who had also met Chen Rong and immediately knew his purpose of coming here.
After confirming the authenticity of the news from Liang Tiancheng, Chen Rong was really relieved.
"Captain Liang, when will Li Hang come back?"
"The squadron leader may not be able to come back soon. He should stay in Xuzhou for a few days. When he comes back, I will tell him about Mr. Chen's arrival."
"Then I'll trouble you, Captain Liang! I saw the flyer at home today and was so frightened."
"Mr. Chen, don't worry. It's just a trick that the little devil can't win head-on. It won't work on the stage."
Liang Tiancheng was indeed right, Li Hang wanted to stay in Xuzhou for a while.
The reason was naturally caused by the flyers.
Because this move of the Japanese was really destructive, the leaflets were not only scattered in Wuhan, Nanchang and other cities along the Yangtze River Basin, but were also thrown on the front line in Xuzhou.
There was no way, in order not to affect morale, Li Hang had to show up on the Xuzhou front line to clarify.
"Li Hang, go back early. You caused a lot of trouble this time. I heard there was even some commotion in Wuhan. The little devil's dirty tricks this time are really damaging."
At Xuzhou Airport, Chief Lin, one of the four great kings of the civil engineering department, came to see Li Hang off in person, which was considered as giving Li Hang face.
"The little devil's move is indeed a bit insidious, but it is something that cannot be put on the table. This time the little devil has suffered such a heavy loss. I think the pressure here will be much less in the next period of time in the Xuzhou battlefield. At least there will be no planes in the sky. Yes." Li Hang said with a smile.
"You can still laugh, but you almost died this time. Momofuku came here specifically to inquire about your situation. I have never seen him so anxious."
"I didn't expect it would cause so much trouble."
"You can be considered as having made a great contribution, and you can be of great help to our group of people in Xuzhou."
Li Hang knew what the other party meant. After all, if something happened to the micromanager, it would be a big deal.
However, after what happened this time, I am afraid that the other party may not dare to come to the front line later.
"Mr. Lin's words are serious. Those are what a humble official should do."
"You have only been promoted to captain a few months ago. It is not easy to be promoted to colonel in a short period of time. For your great achievements this time, there should be other rewards from the government.
Haha, don’t tell Momofuku that you knew it from me. "Chief Lin smiled.
"Thank you sir for the reminder, Li Hang will keep it in mind."
"Okay, I won't say much. The war on the front line is tense and I have to go back. See you in Wuhan tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Chief Lin left, Li Hang boarded the Italian-made CA101 transport plane at the airport.
China bought 14 of this aircraft a few years ago. Because of its poor performance, it is now generally used only for general transportation tasks.
As the plane took off, Chen Guimin's I-16 fighter jet, which had been simply repaired, also took off to act as an escort.
When Li Hang's transport plane landed smoothly at Hankou Airport, everyone waiting at Hankou Airport breathed a sigh of relief.
"Squadron Captain! You are finally back!"
"Just come back!"
Everyone came over excitedly and hugged Li Hang. Even Dong Mingde, who didn't have a good relationship with Li Hang, couldn't help but come over and hug Li Hang tightly.
You must know that in the air battle on the 27th, Li Hang alone contained three Type 97 fighter jets and three Type 95 fighter jets, which relieved a lot of pressure on others.
Without the desperate interception by Li Hang and others, Dong Mingde and others might not have been able to successfully escort the passenger plane back to Wuhan.
"Ahem!"
Mao Bangchu couldn't help coughing, and then everyone dispersed with smiles.
Li Hang and Chen Guimin strode towards Lao Zhou and Mao Bangchu, came to the two men and performed a military salute, "Report to Commander Zhou and Commander Mao that Li Hang and his team member Chen Guimin have returned from completing their mission and are here to return."
