James also fulfilled his duties as a flight instructor.

"Yes, in the United States, if students want to go to the sky, they must have the consent of the instructor, and let the instructor accompany them to fly up 5 to 10 times. Only when there are no operational mistakes can they practice flying alone."

The brigade commander laughed loudly: "Look, it's not that I don't let you fly, it's that this instructor James doesn't let you fly.

Since you asked him to be your instructor, you have to submit to him, at least you have to submit to him while flying.

We have an old saying that you have to specialize in art, maybe you are better at fighting than him, but he is better than you at flying! "

Good at flying, Chen Shanhe admits this sentence, although he has a photographic memory, although he has the experience of flying for 60 or [-] hours after more than [-] years.

But compared with James, he is a younger brother, so the brigade commander said that James is better than him, which is not wrong.

Chen Shanhe was helpless.

"Then our flight academy doesn't have a trainer plane, so why can't students go to the sky?"

James is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt: ​​"No, sir, you can't fly to the sky without a trainer, this rule is only valid for you.

After all, you are the key person, you can't make mistakes, and you can't make mistakes.

As a student, you can still take a risk! "

The brigade commander nodded, it seems that Chen Shanhe still has a lot of weight in the United States.

Chen Shanhe was helpless: "Send a telegram to General Stilwell, I need two trainer planes, this should be no problem, right?
Let him make a price! "

Although James' insistence is a bit unreasonable, it is the safest approach.

It's not just for him, Chen Shanhe. After the flight academy starts, if there is no such trainer plane, the lives of the students may be safe, and the current three planes may be in danger of falling down.

So the trainer is very important, but for the Americans, the trainer is not important.

Trainer planes are generally transformed from relatively backward planes.

It is no longer possible to fight. Since they have given these three planes and recognized that Chen Shanhe has a production line of p40 Tomahawk fighter jets here, they don't need to be stingy, so two trainer planes.

This is what Chen Shanhe thinks.

James nodded. It is of course good to have a trainer. Without a trainer, it is too cruel for new students.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army doesn't have so many planes to drop, only three planes, how many days do you want to crash?

"I will send a telegram to the general, but whether the general agrees, or what price to ask, is beyond my control!"

Chen Shanhe nodded: "Okay!"

Back at the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang, who was so busy farting that he hit his heels, came up to salute.

"brigadier!"

"Zhao Gang, I heard that a female student in the medical school has a crush on you, but you ignore her?"

The brigade commander joked about Zhao Gang with a smile. Of course, the source of the news must have come from Chen Shanhe.

"Brigade Commander, this is a rumor!

Recently, our regiment leader has been doing nothing serious, and I made a small report. He will definitely take revenge on me!

This word of revenge!
Can't take it seriously! "

Of course Zhao Gang denied it.

This Chen Shanhe is not happy: "If you want to spread rumors, I will not admit it!

...

I have heard that he used to be a top student of Nanjing Girls' School, so he is more than enough to match you with a Yenching University graduate!

Why can't I think about it! "

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gang did not let go: "Now is the period of war, the world is not settled, why should we do it at home?"

Looking at the double-standard Zhao Gang, Chen Shanhe was delighted: "You didn't say that when you found you, the political commissar, about Li Yunlong!

You said that our Eighth Route Army is not unreasonable. If we can't finish this battle in 10 years and 8 years, shouldn't people be married in 10 years and 8 years?
How did it come to me? The world is still uncertain, so what should I do at home?

This is unreasonable! "

The brigade commander listened cheerfully: "Okay, okay, Zhao Gang, if you think it's ok, then the organization will get to know the students from the Nanjing Girls' School. If the background is decent, then this matter is settled?"

Zhao Gang still wanted to say something, but the brigade commander didn't want to waste time on these matters of love between children.

After the three of them sat down, the brigade commander said to Chen Shanhe seriously: "This time, I actually have a task for you. It's hard to talk about this task on the phone or in the telegram, so I will do it in person."

As soon as he heard that the task required the brigade commander to come to the door in person and say that Chen Shanhe's spirit had come, he just said, how could it be possible for the brigade commander to personally supervise him for such a trivial matter as flying a plane to the sky?

Now that I heard that the brigade commander has a task to explain himself, I finally feel that all this is reasonable.

Even Zhao Gang sat up straight in an instant.

"Brigade Commander, what mission?"

Chen Shanhe asked, it must be very important for the brigade commander to come down in person to explain the task, so he was more curious about what task he could not say on the phone or in the telegram.

The brigade commander said slowly.

The thing is this, this year there is a severe drought in Henan, to what extent is the drought?
In fact, there has been a severe drought since last year, and most places have lost their harvest since last year.

So since last year, many places have begun to eat leaves and bark, and even more often they are eating soil.

Perhaps, instead of saying that there is a severe drought in Henan, it should be said that the northern regions are suffering from severe droughts.

Even the border of Hebei is very dry, and because of Neiji Okamura's destructive raids, last year's autumn harvest did not actually receive much food.

This spring, some base areas in Hebei suffered from drought and food shortages.

Chen Shanhe and even northern Shaanxi have basically solved the food problem because of the high yield of corn.

However, the ministries in the Jinchaji base area surrounded by the enemy did not have this treatment.

Don't say that the seeds can't get through, even if the seeds have passed, but the Japanese army carried out a destructive sweep, the crops in the field will not grow at all.

Therefore, many soldiers and civilians in the base areas have to rely on eating leaves to survive this spring.

"Leaves Order" comes from such a background.

In the garrison where the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is located, there are thousands of soldiers and civilians in total. The common people and the garrison all pluck leaves for food.

In order not to affect the relationship between the military and the people, the military command issued a special order: order all the troops in the region to give up all the leaves within 15 miles around the village to the common people, and the troops to pick leaves far away from the village to satisfy their hunger.

...

Later, the commander of the military region wrote in his memoirs: "All food units in the army are not allowed to pick poplar and elm leaves near the village, and they must leave them for the masses to eat.

The troops of the whole border region strictly implemented this instruction, and would rather go hungry than compete with the people for food. "

After the order was issued, the commander of the military region specially convened a meeting with the comrades in charge of supplies.

At the meeting, Nie Shuai, the commander of the military region, said: "The enemy has been 'sweeping' continuously, and the supplies of the troops are indeed very difficult, and the food from the west cannot be transported.

However, we must also see that the lives of the people in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei are more difficult.

These days, villagers are plucking leaves and peeling bark in groups of three or four. Those children tortured by hunger, with a big head on their scrawny body, leave their hometown and beg along the village.

However, there is a famine in every village, let them go to beg for food..."

Speaking of this, Nie Shuai had a sore nose and couldn't continue.

After a while, he continued: "We are soldiers of the people. In difficult times, we must find ways to reduce the burden on the people. Not only can the troops not pick leaves, but they also need to use the gaps between battles to help the people do a good job in production.

The organs of the military region have to do it themselves and cut down on food and clothing. "

The "Leaf Instructions" was posted around the village in the form of notices, and the people were deeply moved. Some people even went to the government of the military region and the border region, met Nie Shuai, the commander of the military region, and begged him to take back the instruction.

The villagers took Nie Shuai's hand and said, "Commander Nie, you are too difficult for the soldiers. The devils killed our Eighth Route Army soldiers and opened their stomachs with bayonets. The intestines were full of bran and vegetables, and there were only a few jujubes in the satchel. My son...now there is a famine, the Eighth Route Army is hungry, and they can't even pluck the leaves, how can they do it?"

Nie Shuai replied: "It's the Eighth Route Army's discipline not to take needles from the masses. Please rest assured, folks, we are trying to find a way to solve the food problem for the troops."

Later, the "Leaf Instructions" not only was not withdrawn, but was also conveyed to other units of the Jinchaji Military Region for implementation.

This can be seen.

Not only did Henan suffer from drought, but even Hebei, Shanxi and other places also suffered from drought. The entire North China region, in the two years from 1941 to 1942, was very difficult.

But the hardest part is Henan and other places. They have been hit by disasters for several years, and many people have starved to death.

Chen Shanhe understands this very well.

Historically, the severe drought in 1942 killed at least 400 million people in that place.

least.

So today the brigade commander suddenly came to talk about this matter, and he probably understood what it meant.

"Brigade Commander, do you want me to move the victims over there?"

The brigade commander shook his head: "This year, most of our base areas, as long as they don't encounter destructive raids by little devils, can guarantee self-sufficiency, and even have a surplus of food.

For example, in your place, I heard that meat is eaten twice a month, and the landlords and riches are not as luxurious as you!
It is precisely because there is still a surplus of food, the ancients said that if you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world!

Since we still have a surplus of food, of course we cannot just sit idly by and watch the common people suffer.

So for the work of relocating refugees, we have already had people doing it very early, and people have started to do it since the beginning of the year. "

...

This time Chen Shanhe really understood: "It's not going well?"

It was definitely not going well. If it was carried out smoothly, the brigade commander would not find him, and he would personally go to his regiment headquarters to explain the task, without even calling or sending a telegram.

The Brigadier nodded.

"The Japanese army and Tang Enbo's troops were facing each other there, and our work was very difficult to carry out. The most important thing is that neither the Japanese nor Tang Enbo's troops were allowed to move a large number of people.

Because they still need these people to farm, and they still need these people to exploit.

Now there, the common people are singing that there are four evils in Henan, flood and drought yellow soup, and the soup is Tang Enbo's soup.

Even our staff reported that the local people even led the way for the Japanese army, and even ambushed the soldiers of the Central Army who were singled out.

It can be seen that I have hated it to the extreme!
But even so, Tang Enbo did not allow the victims of disasters in those places to flee to other places.

Therefore, we have no way to relocate the victims.

I can only watch them starve to death by the roadside, and many of them starved to death.

Our underground workers even saw them cut each other's dead flesh to stew.

According to the summary of all the intelligence, in that area, the number of people who may starve to death this year is between 300 and 500 million.

It's miserable! "

The brigade commander has already talked about this, what else can Chen Shanhe say?

"Commander, what do you want me to do?"

The brigade commander was a little hesitant. In fact, even the headquarters was a little hesitant. This matter was too risky.

But in the end, he said it out: "Actually, the headquarters has been studying this matter and this task for a long time, and even the northern part of Shaanxi has also studied it for a long time. Do you want to let you do it.

Because your safety is too important to us, these factories above the base of the Second Independent Regiment will only develop their maximum potential when you are here.

Maximum productivity, and more importantly, the future direction of development. I think the entire Eighth Route Army estimates the direction of industrial development, and no one is better than you.

So your safety is our biggest concern.

But it's up to you!
What the headquarters considers is whether it is worth it to exchange you for these millions of people, and the lives and deaths of millions of disaster victims for you!

If you don't go, there will be 500 million people who will starve to death. If you go, you can save these 500 million people!
I have studied it in northern Shaanxi, and think you should go, and I have also studied it in the headquarters, and I think the lives of ordinary people should be put first.

However, when the bosses called me over, they still hesitated, and finally told me.

After I come here, I will tell you the mission, whether to go or not depends on your wishes! "

After saying this, Chen Shanhe felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavier, like pressing down on a mountain.

"Brigade Commander, you have to tell me what the mission is first?"

The brigade commander suddenly realized: "Didn't I say?"

Zhao Gang replied from the side: "Brigade Commander, you really didn't say that!

You have to talk about the task first, let the team leader see if it can be done, and then decide whether to go or not!

Three to five million people, life is very precious, but there must be a possibility of completion, even if there is at least a 500% probability of success, let's go or not! "

...

Then the brigade commander said: "It seems that the mind is a little confused, that's it, that area is Tang Enbo's territory, so he ordered the troops to restrict the migration of ordinary people!

The task given to you by the headquarters is to find a way to sneak into Tang Enbo's military headquarters as a guest, that is, to control Tang Enbo.

Let his troops open their mouths, so that our underground staff can organize the relocation of the victims to our base.

We can even transport food over there, and first relieve the victims, and we are migrating! "

Zhao Gang was stunned: "Brigade Commander, does this seem like friction?

If Principal Jiang is held accountable, if the World War II District Chief's Department puts pressure on us, can we bear it? "

He didn't care about Chen Shanhe's safety immediately, but found a reason and wanted to refuse this task for Chen Shanhe.

Sneaking into Tang Enbo's military headquarters as a guest, this mission is too risky.

He didn't want to see Chen Shanhe take such a risk.

The brigade commander smiled: "The Second Independent Regiment alone can split out seven or eight regiments, and it is a regiment with strong combat effectiveness.

In addition, we have also changed our shotguns, and we can still bear the pressure exerted by the World War II zone chief's department.

However, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party clashed and clashed, the little devils must benefit in the end.

This is the conflict we need to avoid!

So this action was Chen Shanhe's own private action, not as Chen Shanhe, the head of the Second Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

But in the capacity of a person in the quack, an assassin, a chivalrous man who can't stand the suffering of ordinary people, to control Tang Enbo, the request is not too much, all he needs is for him to open his mouth, and he only needs to allow us to enter to rescue The people will do. "
