The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Chapter [-] Brothers Meet Again

At the end of September in Yichang, the weather was pleasant. The broad Yangtze River galloped eastward and flowed into the East China Sea. On a fort by the river, Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 9th Army, was holding a telescope and carefully inspecting the situation of Jiangfang. Several lieutenant generals beside him. The teacher accompanied the inspection.

Since the failure of the Battle of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek's "government" moved to Chongqing, the foggy capital, and handed over the defense of Yichang and other places to the 59th Army. Tentatively attacking the outskirts of Yichang, the little devil's ships often sail into the Yangtze River near Yichang.

Fortunately, Zhang Zizhong's command ability is excellent, and he built forts at several commanding heights and dangerous positions along the river, so the little devils did not capture Yichang, and the two sides are currently in a strategic confrontation.However, Zhang Zizhong felt that sooner or later, the little devil would concentrate his superior forces to attack Yichang, and the little devil had been eyeing Chongqing.

After inspecting Yichang's defense, the dignified Zhang Zizhong returned to the Yichang headquarters at noon. A message sent by the correspondent made Zhang Zizhong frown, and a long-lost smile slowly appeared on his face. [

The telegram was sent by Zhang Yunfei. The two have been separated for more than a year. They have not seen each other since they parted on the Xuzhou battlefield. After moving to most of China, Zhang Yunfei is also busy with military affairs, and the two have never had a chance to see each other again.

Today-< >-Zhong Zhang Yunfei said that he is going to visit tomorrow by plane. No wonder Zhang Zizhong is so happy. The brothers are going to meet again. Zhang Zizhong is in a good mood and immediately said to a staff officer beside him: "Call me immediately. Yichang Airport, get ready for the plane to land, there will be a plane flying from Shanxi tomorrow."

"Yes! I'll inform you right away." The staff officer stood at attention immediately, then turned and left the headquarters.

On the outskirts of Yichang, there is an airstrip where planes can take off and land, but there are basically no planes on the airport, only two old-fashioned transport planes, one of which is Zhang Zizhong's plane, and as for fighter jets, there is no one. All the fighter jets were completely lost in the air battle with the Little Devil's Central China Front Army a few months ago.

This morning, Datong Airport was breezy, the weather was pleasant, and the visibility was very high. The sky was blue and blue. On one side of the airport, there were at least a dozen brand-new planes parked. These planes were Datong planes. The factory's newest Mustang fighter.

On the other side of the airport, in addition to a dozen previously seized little devil planes, there are also several brand new transport planes parked, and a new early warning plane that has just been produced. The ground crew on the ground are refueling and inspecting the plane. Condition.Today Zhang Yunfei will fly to Yichang, and everyone is working in an orderly manner.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yunfei's off-road vehicle showed up at Datong Airport on time. Besides Gao Zhihang and Liu Xing, he was accompanied by Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of the General Staff, Comrade Deng Wenping, Director of the Political Department, Comrade Liu Dazhu, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Deputy Chief of the Political Department. Director Fang Zheng and others, Gao Zhihang and Liu Xing will accompany them, and the rest of No.30 Group [-] executives will see them off at the airport.

After saying goodbye to everyone at the airport and explaining the relevant matters, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by Liu Xing of the Special Forces, walked to a brand new transport plane parked not far away. Behind Zhang Yunfei, there were more than a dozen special forces. Warriors.

In the farewell eyes of everyone, the transport plane that Zhang Yunfei was on slowly drove onto the runway, taxied on the runway, and then flew into the blue sky, circled in the sky, and flew south.After the transport plane took off, six Mustang fighter jets and an early warning plane took off one after another, followed the transport plane, and flew towards Yichang together.

The six Mustang fighter jets escorted Zhang Yunfei's plane, and Gao Zhihang personally drove one of the Mustang fighter jets and followed closely behind.The formation of eight planes maintained a flying altitude of 8000 meters, and they were flying fast all the way.

After two or three hours of flight, the aircraft formation gradually approached Yichang City. Due to the good weather and high visibility, Yichang Airport, which is dozens of kilometers away, can already be seen. After the aircraft formation got in touch with Yichang Airport, the aircraft formation decreased. altitude, ready to land at the airport.

At Yichang Airport, Zhang Zizhong led his chief of staff and several division commanders to greet him at the airport in person.At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Zizhong was waiting for Zhang Yunfei's arrival at the airport. At this time, he heard the roar of an airplane faintly in the sky. Zhang Zizhong guessed that Zhang Yunfei's plane had arrived.

Just at this moment, a communications soldier from the airport trotted all the way, ran over, stood at attention in front of Zhang Zizhong, and said loudly: "Report to the military seat, Commander-in-chief Zhang's plane has arrived and is ready to land at the airport immediately."

"Okay, I already know." Zhang Zizhong agreed with a smile, then looked up at the sky.The few accompanying people next to them also looked up to the sky together, and saw eight planes in the sky, lowering their altitudes, slowing down and flying towards the airport.

Gradually, the outline of the plane became clearer and clearer. At the center and the front was a large transport plane, which was landing on the runway. The planes behind also landed on the runway one by one. The planes taxied slowly and finally. Stopped steadily.

Everyone was secretly surprised when they saw these brand-new planes. Let alone the two large transport planes, they were much larger than the two old-fashioned transport planes parked next to Yichang Airport. They were the six escorting fighter jets. You can tell that the "performance" is very good, and the spraying on the fuselage is also very beautiful. The nose of the machine is sprayed into the shape of a grinning monster with a big mouth, which gives people a great visual impact. .

It took a long time for the surprised crowd to come to their senses. Zhang Zizhong immediately led the crowd towards Zhang Yunfei's plane.

As soon as the plane came to a complete stop, some special operators opened the cabin door and lowered the gangway, and Zhang Yunfei appeared on the gangway. When Zhang Yunfei saw Zhang Zizhong approaching from the opposite side, he was also slightly excited, with a big smile on his face. , quickly walked down the gangway and walked towards Zhang Zizhong.

The two were still more than ten meters apart, and they opened their arms at the same time. Immediately, they hugged each other tightly. After a long time, they separated. Zhang Zizhong's eyes were slightly red, and he said affectionately to Zhang Yunfei: "Brother, Xuzhou, let's say goodbye together. In the blink of an eye, it will be almost a year and a half, and I, as the eldest brother, was born early, but fortunately, my younger brother has grown into a pillar of the country, a famous anti-Japanese general, and I am very relieved.”[

Zhang Yunfei's eyes were also a little wet, and he said with emotion: "Brother, you are also in your prime, we can still fight side by side, let's do it again vigorously, and drive the Oriental clowns out of our land."

"Okay, brothers are of the same heart, and their benefits can cut through gold." Zhang Zizhong stretched out his big hand, and held it tightly with Zhang Yunfei, his eyes were full of determination.

The two brothers were deeply in love, and they deeply moved the people around them. The generals who had experienced many battles for a long time were also deeply moved at this moment, and some people's eyes began to turn a little red.

The two met and exchanged pleasantries for several minutes. At this time, Zhang Zizhong introduced the people behind him to Zhang Yunfei one by one. All the senior officials of the 59th Army stepped forward to salute Zhang Yunfei and shook hands with Zhang Yunfei enthusiastically.

At this time, Zhang Zizhong began to look at the entourage behind Zhang Yunfei, and saw a dozen people standing in a neat row behind Zhang Yunfei, wearing mighty and generous camouflage uniforms, all automatic weapons, showing a A killing spirit.

Good guy, it's really good, Zhang Zizhong praised secretly in his heart, at this moment, seeing that everyone had finished shaking hands with Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Zizhong asked curiously: "Brother, these are your guards, they are really mighty, they are more powerful than our army." The Ministry Guard Battalion is much stronger."

Zhang Yunfei smiled lightly and said, "This is a member of our Spike Special Team."

Zhang Yunfei's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which shook everyone for a long time without recovering. Everyone thought in their hearts, this is the rumored member of the Spike Special Forces, this is the Spike Special Forces that made the little devil fearful.

Zhang Zizhong, who was slightly excited, held Zhang Yunfei's hand and said excitedly: "This is the Spike Special Fighter who successfully assassinated the little devil Kenji Doihara of the North China Front Army's special high-tech department two or three months ago, no wonder it is so powerful. "

Everyone was emotional again for a long time, Zhang Zizhong said: "Brother, let's go, go to my military headquarters, our brothers are going to have a few drinks at noon today."

Zhang Yunfei looked at the time, and before he knew it, it was already almost 12 o'clock, so he said, "Alright, we brothers have a few drinks today."

Zhang Zizhong invited Zhang Yunfei to get in his black car, and the rest of the staff got into the off-road vehicles or large trucks behind.Everyone went to the headquarters of the 59th Army in Yichang City.

Naturally, Yichang City is not as prosperous as Datong, nor is it as big as Datong. It took only [-] minutes for everyone to reach the gate of Zhang Zizhong's headquarters.Along the way, Zhang Yunfei saw many ordinary people in shabby clothes, and many of them were even pale and emaciated. It seems that the life of ordinary people here is not very good.

Along the way, I also saw teams of soldiers from the 59th Army. Many of them had very old uniforms, and their guns were basically made in Hanyang and around March 59th. The weapons were rather messy, and machine guns were relatively rare. The [-]th Army of Lao Jiang's direct line is also living a tight life. More than a year ago, he captured a train of weapons and ammunition and gave it to Zhang Zizhong. After so long, I am afraid that it has been exhausted.

Seeing these scenes, Zhang Yunfei was suddenly touched in his heart. He secretly thought that now that he is capable, he should try his best to help his elder brother. As a famous anti-Japanese general, his elder brother has military command ability and patriotic enthusiasm. There is nothing to say, if he can be provided with enough weapons and ammunition, then he will definitely be able to fight the little devil even more powerful.
