my bright sword career

Chapter 238 Expectation
"Aircraft support?" The deputy commander was stunned for a long time before suppressing the shock in his heart, and murmured, "I never thought that our Eighth Route Army would be able to call for air support one day. It's not easy...it's not easy..."

The left deputy chief of staff didn't speak, he was careful and could clearly see that the eye circles of the deputy commander in chief were a little red.

He has known the deputy commander-in-chief for more than ten years, and apart from the tragic Battle of Moujiang in the Long March, this is the first time he has seen him so moved in so many years.

But he can also understand the mood of the deputy commander. Over the years, from the Red Army to the Eighth Route Army, from the Kuomintang to the Japanese army, the enemy has always used planes to bomb them indiscriminately. Like this, he can actively call for air support It was the first time, so how could the deputy commander-in-chief not be excited?

After a long time, the deputy commander said with emotion: "Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I didn't expect this kid to be a lieutenant general."

"Yeah, I think so too." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said with a smile: "Thinking about last year, our Eighth Route Army's life was so poor. Since Li Yunlong met Gao Hongming, he just gave us weapons. The equipment and weapons and ammunition are enough to equip a brigade. After the last battle of Qingyuan River, you and I jointly sent a thank you telegram to Gao Hongming. Gao Hongming said in his reply that he had seized more than 1 Type [-] Rifles and hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, Type [-] infantry guns, mortars, and millions of rounds of bullets and ammunition.

He was willing to sell it to us at a preferential price, and asked if we were interested. I didn't answer immediately, saying that I would consider it for a while.The main reason is that we are too poor now to dare to say this. "

The deputy commander first laughed, and then sighed: "Yes, our Eighth Route Army is really too poor. Even if they sell half and give it to us, we can't afford it."

The left deputy chief of staff also smiled and said nothing. In fact, both he and the deputy commander in chief knew that as long as they asked, Gao Hongming would definitely give them something as soon as possible. But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Forget it, if you take things from others for nothing, you will be in a big debt. The deputy commander is just like him, worried about not being able to pay back.

However, both of them are open-minded people, so they simply didn't want to think about these things. The deputy commander called the chief of the communications section, "When you arrive at the destination, call Li Yunlong immediately and ask him to disengage from the enemy tomorrow and tonight, and return home." After a while, I will reward him personally."

"Hey...wait a minute."

The left deputy chief of staff was so frightened that he hurriedly called to the communications section chief, "It's nothing else, don't tell him that the deputy commander personally gave him a commendation. This guy Li Yunlong can't help but praise. Make sure something happens."

"That's right, I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me. Listen to Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, don't mention the award, let's just quietly write him down in the credit book." The deputy commander also suddenly thought Come to think of it, Li Yunlong is well-known in the Eighth Route Army for his audacity. He belongs to the kind of temper that would turn his tail up to the sky if he looks good, so no one can praise Li Yunlong.

Not to mention that the deputy commander-in-chief and the left deputy chief of staff were leading the people directly under the headquarters to circle in the ravine. Huang Kebiao and dozens of students drove dozens of aircraft and returned to the No. [-] airport on the outskirts of Liantai County after completing their missions. .

Dozens of Bo-2 planes parked one by one, and the trainees got off the plane one after another. The whole group burst into laughter from time to time while talking about the bombing operation just now.

Just as they were discussing where to get some food and drink for tonight, a serious voice suddenly sounded.

"Sir...all stand at attention!"

"Hoohoo!"

Accompanied by this voice, the students who were still chatting and laughing all stood in place reflexively and straightened their chests.

"salute!"

"brush!"

The students gave a military salute in unison.

Amid the sound of footsteps, Gao Hongming walked towards them surrounded by the flight captain Huang Huaimin, the Japanese instructor Harada Akihisa, and more than ten guards.

Seeing Gao Hongming approaching, the students shouted in unison: "Hello, group seat!"

"Hello, brothers!"

Gao Hongming raised his hand to return the salute, walked up to the students with a smile, looked at them for a long time, and then said loudly: "Brothers, you have successfully completed the task this time. I also want to announce good news to you.

Tomorrow, your new planes will arrive, and 24 of you will be fighter pilots, and 12 of you will be dive bomber pilots.So I want to congratulate you, starting today, you have got rid of your rookie status and officially become a part of the flying brigade. Compatriots pay their own lives, are you all ready? "

As Gao Hongming's voice fell, Huang Kebiao and dozens of students all raised their hands and shouted in unison, "Always be ready!"

"it is good!"

Looking at this group of young people who were ready to fly into the air and fight the Japanese invaders at any time, Gao Hongming only felt a little stuffy in his chest and a little hot in his eyes.

In the long history of China, there has never been a shortage of hot-blooded men. It is precisely because of these people that China can go all the way through the historical trend of more than 5000 years to the present. Although China is now at a low ebb, but Gao Hongming knew very well that this was only temporary, and in the future, Huaxia, an ancient oriental country, would surely burst into light that would make the whole world tremble.

That night, all the trainees in the flying brigade lost sleep.

A total of 120 students were recruited by the flying brigade this time, and only 36 of them were able to stand out as pilots of fighter jets and dive bombers in the end. Except for dozens of people who were eliminated, the rest were unable to meet the requirements due to their technical level. I have to continue to study. If I still can't meet the requirements, in addition to doing logistics work, I can only drive aircraft such as transport planes and bombers.

Before dawn the next day, Huang Kebiao got up from the bed. After washing up, he came to the side of the runway alone, sat on a bench next to him, lit a cigarette, and watched the beginning quietly while smoking. A sky that glows with mist.

After more than half an hour like this, the sky finally brightened, and the students also got dressed and came to the side of the runway. All eyes were on the end of the runway, where hangars stood. They knew, If a new plane comes, it must be there.

When the sun rose completely, the warehouse door finally opened, and tractors came out of the warehouse one after another. They formed a long line and began to walk along the runway towards Huang Kebiao and the others...
