After the guests and hosts were seated, a piece of oatmeal, ham omelette, a cup of coffee, and a typical American breakfast were served on the table, for the sudden visit of Song Yuhang, the commander of the Kunming garrison garrison, Chennault felt a little strange, the First Mechanized Army took over the order of the 11th Army to attack Songshan, Chennault had already known in the request for ground-air cooperation, he really couldn't understand what could drive a general to put down his troops, run back to the rear and have breakfast with him "I hope the breakfast meets your appetite, you know, the chef at this base is really good" Chennault made a very uncomfortable look, then picked up the knife and fork and smiled at Song Yuhang, nodding in greeting.
Chennault was shocked by the speed at which Song Yuhang ate, two six-inch hams, four fried eggs, three oatmeal, two cups of coffee, and a cigar Looking at Song Yuhang's leisurely appearance, Chennault put down his knife and fork in surprise, there is no doubt that Song Yuhang is the fastest person he has ever seen, how does Chennault know that Song Yuhang, who is in the front line commanding the battle, does not have a fixed meal at all, and is basically so hungry that he can not do it, so he can just find some food pads, and in Song Yuhang's opinion, it is a crime for military commanders on the front line to spend precious time on socializing and chewing slowly.
After Chennault put down his knife and fork, picked up the napkin, Song Yuhang smiled slightly: "General Chen, there is an old saying in China called "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall, I think you know that first of all, on behalf of all the officers and men of the First Mechanized Army, I would like to thank you and the allied officers and men of the 14th Air Force for your selfless support and internationalist spirit for the great cause of the Chinese War of Resistance, and especially thank you and your troops for your great help to our army in Tengchong." ” At the mention of Tengchong, Chennault's face suddenly changed, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice in surprise: "Commander Song, where do you want to blow up?"
Song Yuhang saw Chennault with a nervous expression. recalled the tragic scenes in Tengchong City after being attacked by special incendiary bombs.
After frowning, he said: "Treat those enemies who invade our land, plunder my people, and kill my father, elders, villagers, brothers and sisters, their fate is only death, but their death must be decided by me, the invaders are destined to pay enough for their actions, this is justice and heavenly justice, whoever dares to stop our steps of revenge is our enemy."
Song Yuhang said it domineeringly, and his radical words made Chennault seem to see the second "European madman" But for friends, we Chinese have always paid attention to receiving the grace of dripping water as a spring.
General Chennault, you are the eternal friend of our Chinese people, and your deeds will be engraved in history, and future generations will remember your merits and friendship.
In Song Yuhang's view, Chennault is an international friend of the ancient way, but as long as these people who eat rough food and practice the ancient way and the warm intestines, they will definitely not do anything in the hope that they can be remembered by history.
"I hope you can help," Song Yuhang suddenly made a very formal request, which made Chennault slightly stunned.
Then Chennault nodded solemnly and said, "Please speak, it is incumbent upon you to do so." ” Song Yuhang nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I hope to be able to get three small transport planes to cooperate with our army in mountain parachute training."
And I need to airdrop at least 5,000 gallons of fuel to a 60-meter-diameter mountaintop." "5,000 gallons of fuel were airdropped to the top of a mountain with a diameter of 60 meters," Chennault looked at Song Yuhang in bewilderment.
Song Yuhang immediately added: "To be precise, the airdrop will be carried out at night.
There may be a small amount of flares to help.
However, the airdrop will mainly rely on the previous arrival stragglers to ignite the ground-to-air target designation. ” Chennault was full of questions.
But he didn't take the liberty of asking what the fuel was used for.
Just hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Then the airdrop geography, wind direction, temperature, and air flow direction." and whether the intelligence on whether the enemy has anti-aircraft fire and other information is perfect" Song Yuhang drew a small circle with a pen on a map of China that Chennault hung on the wall, somewhere in western Yunnan, and then said: "Everything depends on you, General Chen."
"Oh," Chennault stood up curiously.
Walk slowly to the front of the map.
Just positioned.
Suddenly surprised and shouted: "It's Matsuyama, it's Matsuyama."
Song Yuhang smiled and nodded.
Chennault quickly put together a few unrelated words for paratroopers, five thousand gallons of fuel, and the top of the main peak of Pine Mountain, a moment later.
Chennault gasped and said in surprise to Song Yuhang: "It's crazy, it's crazy, you don't want to use the entrance of the Japanese fortification tunnel to burn Songshan?"
Song Yuhang was amazed by Chennault's analytical ability, and at the same time said: "It's not the entrance to the fortifications, but the vents of the Japanese fortifications."
Chennault hesitated for a moment and said: "The Japanese fortifications are very strong and strange at the same time, I am afraid that a ventilation tunnel may not be able to burn out the huge Matsuyama, after all, it is difficult for a thousand pounds of heavy aerial bombs to be effective."
Song Yuhang shrugged his shoulders and said leisurely: "The fuel with special additives itself has strong permeability, and whether it can solve the Japanese army hiding in the Songshan fortifications depends on the specific effect."
Chennault knew that if Song Yuhang's very inhumane plan really succeeded, then the fate of the Japanese army's Songshan defenders would be extremely miserable, it can be said that there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth, but war is war, Chennault's compassion only made him slightly troubled for a few seconds, even after the special bombing of Tengchong, Chennault just prayed once, and then lay on the dining table with Song Yuhang and began to study the practical feasibility of the tactical plan brought by Song Yuhang.
After Song Yuhang said goodbye to Chennault with a satisfied smile and left the headquarters of the 14th Air Force, and returned to the garrison command, Song Yuhang first summoned the combat backbone of the former special rescue brigade that had returned to Kunming to standby, and one-third of these 50 team members had participated in the operation of rescuing Song Yuhang behind enemy lines, and it can be said that they were the core elite of the special rescue brigade.
Ye Chuan and Zhang Zheming were personally pulled out by Song Yuhang from the special operations brigade that was being trained in Kunming, and for the sake of these two troublemakers and living treasures, brigade commander Wu Weihua personally followed the headquarters and repeatedly told them, and finally even the old Tashi asked by Ye Chuan was also drawn out.
So much so that Song Yuhang suddenly found an extremely uncoordinated figure when he was reviewing the commando, Song Yuhang stood in front of Lao Tashi, looked up and down for a long time, turned around and glanced at Wu Weihua and said: "At such an age, the death distance of opening an umbrella at a low altitude of 200 meters at night, can it be done It's just nonsense."
Ye Chuan and Zhang Zheming just wanted to take a step forward to answer, Wu Weihua glared back at a glance, and said with a smile: "Junzao, don't underestimate this old bone, don't talk about the half-tone Tibetan doctor, a pair of Ying Qiqi beat that god, the group of monkey cubs in the sniper company of the brigade headquarters are admired to death, they have been running around on the plateau all their lives, and they are familiar with the way, and they are not born to be able to parachute jumping, so learn."
"Oh" Song Yuhang looked at old Tashi's wrinkled brown face and said, "Can you speak Chinese?"
"Report to the chief, yes" Lao Lizheng saluted with a gun, Song Yuhang took the unusual Ying Qiqi from Lao Tashi's hand, pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, looked at the shiny and shiny chamber without a trace of dust, and sniffed it gently.
After returning the gun to old Tashi, Song Yuhang said: "Ying Qiqi's performance is very average, and it is not very reliable, let's pick something else."
"Thank you, sir, it's easy to use" Old Tashi rejected Song Yuhang's kindness, Song Yuhang did not have a trace of anger, but smiled slightly, and when he saw the opportunity, the commandos below immediately coaxed: "Military seat, you just let the old guy stay, there is him on our big guy to hang a lottery, and there is a bottom in my heart."
Song Yuhang looked at Wu Weihua, pointed to his nose and said: "Four days, you only have four days of training, after four days you will be parachuted to the peak of the Songshan fortress held by the Japanese army, this will be the first time in Chinese history to use paratroopers to raid the enemy's heavily defended fortress stronghold, as the pioneer of Chinese paratroopers and special operations, you should be honored." ” All the commandos immediately snapped and stood upright, and then shouted loudly: "The first battle will be won, the attack is like a tiger, and the defense is like Mount Tai."
The military heart is usable, and the morale is like a rainbow, but after the formal training, four officers and soldiers were injured on the first night alone, Song Yuhang returned to the headquarters It was already midnight, but Suna and Shen Jieyi were still waiting for him, a table of hot and hot side dishes, a pot of hot and hot wine, Shen Jieyi, who was a first-time wife, could be described as glamorous and dazzling at the moment Warm side dishes and fine wine dispelled the fatigue of Hang's body, and suddenly, Song Yuhang remembered the sweater that Xiao Guodong brought to him on the Longling front line to be improved, so he smiled slightly, put his arm around Shen Jieyi's shoulder, and said in a joking tone: "Jieyi, why can't I find the collar of your sweater, but there are three sleeves?"
"Sweater" Shen Jieyi had a puzzled expression, and turned her gaze to Suna one by one, as soon as she heard Song Yuhang praise the three sleeves of the sweater, Suna's face suddenly turned red, and she looked at Song Yuhang hatefully and said: "You want to die, people are beginners, and you won't even let you see a woolen head in the future." ” "Ah" The sweater made with extremely immature craftsmanship turned out to be the work of the ingenious Suna Song Yuhang sighed deeply: "It's really unseemly":
