Agents of the Republic of China

Yu Chengwan was powerless to Lin Xiaotang's request. The current Changde has become a ruin, and it is very difficult to find a few cars that can still operate normally. However, Lin Xiaotang wants to rush back to Chongqing in the shortest time. If you want to use a car, It will take at least four or five days to arrive.

Plus, there's the biggest problem.Lin Xiaotang's visit to Changde to supervise the battle this time was based on the order of the military headquarters of the base camp. Although the battle of Changde has come to an end, the base camp has not clearly requested Lin Xiaotang to be transferred back.Lin Xiaotang hastily returned at this time, if someone with a heart knows about it, he will definitely not be able to escape the charge of leaving his post without authorization.

Yu Chengwan thought over and over again, and finally made up his mind, "Youzhong, I can send a statement to Shangfeng and ask Commander Xue of the Ninth War Zone for instructions. I believe there will be no problems with him. The statement states that you were bravely wounded in the Battle of Changde , I need to go back to Chongqing urgently for treatment. I will say hello to Chief Xue and send a copy to the base camp. You can return to Chongqing in this name. Even if someone wants to arrest you, this notice is issued by our Changde garrison Yes, all the consequences will be borne by us."

Lin Xiaotang didn't expect Yu Chengwan to take such a risk to help him, and he was very grateful for that, "Master, for me, how can I let you take such a risk?"

Yu Chengwan waved his hand, "There is no need to be polite between us brothers. I don't know why you want to rush back to Chongqing immediately, but since you are a brother, that's all I can do for you. Anyway, at the stop of Changde, I also It’s a small attack, but at worst the merits and demerits will be offset!”

Yu Chengwan frowned, "How do you go back to Chongqing, that's a tricky question."

Company Commander Yu, who followed from the side, saw that the two were in a dilemma, but he came up with an idea. "Master, Mr. Tang, I have an idea. But it takes some risks. We have a military airport in the northern suburbs of Changde, which has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. The Japanese army retreated, and the airport became empty. I just don't know. How is the situation now? Right now, the only one closest to us is the Zhijiang Military Airport. The two officers might as well talk to the Americans to see if they can borrow their planes. This time we have done them a great favor. The United States People may agree. In this way, Chief Tang can rush back to Chongqing as quickly as possible."

Lin Xiaotang's eyes lit up, and he secretly scolded himself for being confused, how could he forget these Americans.I have a relationship with Chennault, the chief officer of the Flying Tigers at Zhijiang Airport, and this time he saved the American pilots and paratroopers. Chennault should sell his face.

Without further ado, Lin Xiaotang immediately found Tom Hanks and Sean, and told them about his difficulties.The two immediately agreed to contact Zhijiang Airport.

In less than half an hour, the reply call from Zhijiang Airport arrived. The telegram was sent in the name of Chennault, and there were only a few words on it, "No problem, a plane will be dispatched in one hour, please sort it out as soon as possible. Get off the runway."

After receiving the call back, Lin Xiaotang went down the mountain accompanied by Yu Chengwan and others. Hearing that Lin Xiaotang was going to clean up the runway at Changde Airport, Zhang Yaoguo stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted. The guys from the 188th regiment didn't need any mobilization. When the big guys heard that it was Lin Xiaotang's business, they immediately packed up and went to the airport to help.

Yu Chengwan smiled and nodded, "Just right, what we need most at the moment is manpower. Since the brothers of the 188th Regiment are doing their part, all the brothers of our 57th Division must not fall behind." Yu Chengwan immediately sent a message to Chai Yixin in Changde A telegram asked him to summon all the people to rush to the airport in advance.

As a result, a strange scene appeared in Deshan and Changde. The soldiers who emerged from the ruins, without caring to wipe off the dust on their faces, ran to the Changde military airport under the leadership of officers at all levels. A rapid march in a war environment is spectacular.

Lin Xiaotang was moved, and thanked Yu Chengwan and Zhang Yaoguo again and again.

In fact, Lin Xiaotang had already learned from the previous telegrams that the military command had cracked down on the hidden Japanese spies, including some areas that the Japanese army would focus on bombing.Lin Xiaotang sensitively sensed that this might be a sign that the Japanese were about to act.In connection with the collusion between the Kwantung Army and Pei Zhongyan, as well as the connection between the Kwantung Army spies and the hidden spies in the Sichuan Army previously analyzed by Yu Gong, Lin Xiaotang boldly judged that this time it will definitely be an unprecedented big action by the Japanese, although they are not yet known. What is the specific goal, but Yugong also revealed his wish that Lin Xiaotang would come back as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

The scale of Changde Military Airport is not large, there are only two runways dedicated to takeoff and landing.The previous offensive and defensive battles had little impact on this place. This is an open land with no value for defense. Therefore, the Japanese army did not spend too much effort when they captured this place, and the entire airport was completely preserved.

After the soldiers of the 57th Division and the 188th Regiment arrived, they quickly began to clean up the rocks and bomb craters on the airport.Since the total number of people who came to support was close to 800, the clean-up work went smoothly. By noon, the clean-up work of the entire airport was coming to an end. Also cleaned up.The temporary radio stations of Lin Xiaotang and others were also set up.

At twelve noon, a military transport plane of the US military landed at Changde Airport on time.The few people who came were also very familiar with Tom Hanks and Sean, and they were the pilots who had dropped the supplies before.Captain Parker led the team, plus Kobe and O'Neal, a total of three members.

The tall pilot, Kobe, patted Tom Hanks on the shoulder, with a smirk on his face, "Old Tom, it seems that you are in good spirits. How about it, our Miss Star must have helped you a lot!"

Everyone laughed, but Tom Hanks looked upright, "Don't forget that we are soldiers, and all my energy was spent on the battlefield during the war. When you complete this mission, I will let you know What is a real man!"

Captain Parker and Lin Xiaotang met, "Sir Chennault has given an order to send you back to Chongqing Airport safely, and the airport will fully cooperate. In addition, in view of the Japanese bombing, the Hell's Angels Flying Brigade at Zhijiang Airport will dispatch Fighter escort, please rest assured!"

"Thank you very much!" Lin Xiaotang was no longer courteous to the Americans, this is still a battlefield after all.

Lin Xiaotang bid farewell to Datou, Huoyan and Yu Chengwan, Zhang Yaoguo and others.After boarding the plane one by one, Chang Huan packed up the radio station, finally boarded the plane, went directly to Lin Xiaotang, and handed him a telegram with a solemn expression, "Seventh Brother, I just received it, something happened at Nanjing Station!"

Before Lin Xiaotang sat still, he stood in the cabin and opened the telegram, his face turned pale, and he grabbed Chang Huan's skirt, "Are you sure? When did this happen?"

Chang Huan nodded, "It's a telegram sent by Lin Huaibu himself just now, it's been confirmed, Mr. Shang has, already died for his country!"

Lin Xiaotang's body couldn't help shaking a few times, he slowly let go of his hands, and walked towards the seat in the cabin, but his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, before everyone could support him, Lin Xiaotang already let out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow" , Suddenly passed out.

Datou and the others panicked, helped Lin Xiaotang up with all their might, and leaned against the cabin wall. The American pilots didn't know why, so Huoyan had to explain briefly, let them take off as planned, and hurried back to Chongqing, and asked them A first aid kit came.

The big head pressed Lin Xiaotang hard, and it took a while for Lin Xiaotang to wake up.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, big tears came out of his eyes. Lin Xiaotang was about to send a telegram again. After reading it carefully, he burst into tears.

For Lin Xiaotang, Shang Huaishi is both a teacher and a friend. As soon as Lin Xiaotang arrived in Nanjing, Shang Huaishi joined the organization. It can be said that he single-handedly facilitated the rapid establishment of Nanjing Station. Over the years, he has always insisted on Working in Nanjing Railway Station, in addition to repaying Lin Xiaotang's kindness, on the other hand, it is because of Shang Huaishi's inner persistence.

For several years, Shang Huaishi worked tirelessly and fought in the most dangerous places. A large amount of information with extremely high value was passed to the rear through him. How could Lin Xiaotang not feel extremely sad.

Lin Xiaotang struggled to sit up, "How is the situation in Nanjing?"

Chang Huan replied: "Before Mr. Shang died, he had arranged for Lin Huai's department to temporarily take over the various tasks of the Nanjing Station. All the staff have been hidden. Ke Hua's side is operating normally. The affairs of the Nanjing Station have nothing to do with Ke Hua, so everything is currently The situation is stable. According to the investigation, this incident was caused by personnel sent by the military command. Li Shiqun found Shang Lao through the traitors among them, and the Lin Huai Department is currently doing all it can to find the traitors. All insiders are safe."

Lin Xiaotang nodded. Although Shang Huaishi sacrificed suddenly, with his character, he would definitely make the most careful and proper arrangements. "Telephone to Lin Huai Department, we must stabilize the overall situation, and wait for a while to find the traitor. I will mobilize the relationship to deal with it. What he has to do now is to ensure the normal operation of the Nanjing Station, as well as the morale and hearts of all members."

……

A few hours later, the plane had already flown over Chongqing, and the six fighter planes coming from Zhijiang Airport also joined the transport opportunity, cruising around the transport plane and escorting it.

The Japanese have already started air raids on Chongqing. In a short while, Japanese fighter planes also discovered the existence of the transport aircraft formation and began to attack the US military aircraft fleet. According to their judgment, at this time, there must be The presence of big figures in the national government.Fortunately, the incident happened suddenly, and only a small number of Japanese Zero fighters escorting the bombers came to attack.

Cannon fire kept ringing in the air, Lin Xiaotang looked at the clouds outside the window, as if he had never heard of it, Shang Huaishi's sacrifice was like a broken arm for him, and he lost a good teacher and friend by his side, Shangzhi in Chongqing I don't know if I got the news, but thinking of Shangzhi's heartbroken look, Lin Xiaotang's heart was overwhelmed again.

Under the cover of the escort fighter planes, the transport plane began to prepare for landing, but the number of Japanese fighter planes gradually increased, and one of the six escort fighter planes had been damaged, but the remaining planes were still fighting fiercely to buy time for the transport plane to land.

The three pilots, including Captain Parker, had stopped laughing at each other, and concentrated on controlling the huge fuselage to fly to the runway. The moment the plane touched the ground, the huge turbulence almost caused everyone in the cabin to be bombed. Get up, the seat belt tightly hugs the body, as if to tear people apart.The radio station brought by Chang Huan had fallen badly, and everyone had to pray while bouncing up and down with the ups and downs of the fuselage.

Finally, the speed of the plane slowly slowed down. The moment the plane stopped, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately, Captain Parker's words tensed everyone's nerves again, "The plane is on the runway. He is a living target for the Japanese, if you don’t want to die, get out of the plane as soon as possible!”
