Zhang Ercheng hurriedly said to the fat man: "Kill all those lights, the distance is too far, the machine gun can't reach it, only use these mountain cannons of mine to solve it" It turned out that Zhang Ercheng was going to use mountain artillery to hit the lighting lights on the runway, and the fat man admired Zhang Ercheng's improvisation, worthy of being an artillery expert in our team, the machine gun can't hit, and the mountain artillery has a long range, so use the mountain artillery to talk and solve the problem Zhang Ercheng gave an order, and the 75 mountain guns immediately let out a thunderous roar, and the shells flew out of the barrels with a whistling whistle and smashed on the runway, so that the simple lights were immediately extinguished, and the runway was pitch black, and those planes that were desperately starting the planes to take off and fleeing were like drunk drunks on the runway, swaying from side to side and rushing out of the runway, resting on the grass and rising thick smoke and raging fire In order to prevent the take-off of those planes, Zhang Ercheng deliberately added some material to the mountain artillery shells, and after a burst of intensive bombardment, I saw that the runway was full of potholes and craters, of different sizes and densely packed In this way, it can hurt those planes that are taxiing on the runway to take off, hurriedly emergency braking, dodging those craters, but the front is black, nothing can be seen, several transport aircraft tires are stuck in the crater, but the huge inertia of the plane makes the fuselage turn forward, one after another fires flash, thick smoke rises, most of the planes on the runway are damaged and burned, those pilots inside quickly ran out, before they came to their senses, they were caught alive by the fat man who caught up.
There were two fighters because of the fast speed of gliding, luckily ran out of the runway, flew into the dark night sky, turned a corner in mid-air, and quickly fled in a hurry to the southeast, the airport below was full of flames and smoke from the explosion of the planes, and when the fat man and they all occupied the airport, most of the planes on the runway had been damaged, and a few of the planes that did not explode and caught fire were also broken wings, and it seemed that they could not take off.
The fat man grabbed a few pilots and asked them: "What about the planes in your airport are just a few on the runway" The fat man didn't believe that such a large temporary airport, Li Mi's regiment relied on it to run away, how could there be so many planes When the pilots saw the fat man's fierce look, they were so frightened that they hurriedly said to him: "There are only these planes on the runway, and there are a few transport planes in that hangar." ” When the fat man heard this, this trip was not in vain, and it was better to have a few transport planes left, which was better than nothing, so he ordered these captives to get the planes out of the hangar, and he was going to come in handy.
The second regiment commander beside the fat man hurriedly said to him: "Division commander, we can't let these prisoners fly planes, what if they run away in these planes, we can catch them on the ground, but when they fly into the sky, then we can't catch them." ” The fat man was right when he thought about it, and hurriedly ordered his brothers to take these pilots back to take prisoners, and he hurriedly reported to Zhou Wu: "Commander, our first division has captured the enemy's airstrip here in Ping'an Town, and captured two large planes, but we won't get it, and we hope to send personnel who can fly planes to come here in Ping'an Town, so that these planes can come in handy."
When Zhou Wu heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, where did he have the talent to fly a plane, and hurriedly asked the fat man: "What kind of plane do you have there, I don't have such a capable person here, I have to ask Commander Li to go." ” When Zhou Wu heard that the fat man had captured two transport planes of the Kuomintang army, he hurriedly called Commander Li: "Commander, Commander Liu of our First Division, they have captured two transport planes of the enemy at the enemy's airstrip in Ping'an Town. ” As soon as Commander Li heard that Zhou Wu's subordinates had actually captured the Kuomintang plane, he said to him at that time: "Okay, Comrade Zhou Wu, your business is getting bigger and bigger, when we were fighting Jinan, we captured a group of enemy pilots, but they were all sent to the rear liberated areas to train our pilots, and now even if you rush over immediately, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the time, haven't you also captured a group of enemy pilots, and immediately educate them ideologically, and let them fly planes for our use." ” When Zhou Wu heard this, there was only one way at present, and it was obviously too late for those pilots in the liberated area to rush over, so they had to use their brains to find a way from those pilots captured by the fat man.
At this moment, the sentry outside ran in and reported: "Army commander, the commander of the first division Liu sent someone to escort down a group of enemy prisoners" When Zhou Wu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Is it a prisoner of the enemy's pilots?"
"It seems that their military uniforms are different from those of the Kuomintang soldiers, and we have never seen them."
The sentry replied.
"Okay, let them in" Zhou Wu was a little anxious, the battle to besiege Li Mi's corps had begun, but Li Mi did fight twice, and was counterattacked by the East China Liberation Army and the Central Plains People's Liberation Army, and there was no panic as they expected, but the team attacking Caozhuang Ji was orderly shrunk to the east of Caozhuang Ji, relying on the fortifications that had been dug before, desperately resisting the onslaught of the People's Liberation Army, Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng and Huang Shuisheng's three divisions attacked the frontal position of Li Mi's corps three times in a row, and they were all defeated, The casualties were not small.
Commander Chen of the Independent Corps also launched an attack on Li Mi's corps on the left and right flanks, but with little effect, Zhou Wu and Commander Chen discussed, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity at night to attack in many ways and harass everywhere, and wait for the fat man's first division to cut off Li Mi's southern escape route and capture Ping'an Town, and then throw all the reserve teams into it and launch a general attack on Li Mi's 13th Corps At this time, Commissar Niu began ideological education for those pilot prisoners, we are all Chinese, fighting a civil war is a last resort, it is really to let foreigners see effect, relatives and enemies are quick things we can't do, since you have laid down your arms, it is our brothers, now the 13th Corps is still stubbornly resisting near Caozhuangji, but their days are definitely not long, there are hundreds of thousands of PLA troops gathered there around Caozhuangji, and more than 70,000 people and horses in the Li Mi Corps are like mantis arms as a car, It is hoped that the pilot brothers can recognize the situation, break with the old Chiang dictatorship, and defect to the ranks of the People's Liberation Army.
Political Commissar Niu deserves to be a political worker, and the education of these pilots was effective on the spot, and several pilots immediately expressed their willingness to defect to the PLA.
Zhou Wu saw that there was a play, and hurriedly said to them: "Okay, you three brothers are happy, I have decided to form a flying team, with the three of you as the captain and deputy captain, regimental level, I will give you a task now, do you have the confidence to complete it?"
As soon as the three pilots heard this, they were immediately appointed as regimental officers by the commander in front of them, and they were energetic at that time, and hurriedly saluted and replied: "No problem, sir, have the confidence to complete the task."
I'm a Soviet national, lieutenant navigator. ” The other two pilots hurriedly introduced themselves: "I'm Zhang Chengfei, captain of the captain."
"I'm Mei Xingguo, second lieutenant gunner" Now I can regret the other pilots to death, I knew that if this was the case, I should have been the first to stand up and make a statement, but now it's good, people have suddenly become regimental officers in the team, and it is really more important to look at the direction of the wind and stand on the other side than anything else.
Zhou Wu nodded, and said to the other pilots, "Who of you are willing to join our team now?"
Immediately, more than half of the pilots expressed their willingness to come over, Zhou Wu looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said to them: "Okay, I believe in you, you won't change your mind halfway, there are two transport planes in Ping'an Town, you drive him out, we are useful, if this mission is completed well, not only will we not pursue your previous affairs, but also will give rewards according to your performance, as for how to perform, it depends on your own efforts."
Zhou Wu said this, and the remaining pilots also said that they wanted to defect, and Zhou Wu told them not to participate in the operation, but to go back to the liberated areas and receive ideological education for a period of time.
Zhou Wu said to the captain Zhang Cheng: "After arriving at Ping'an Town, find Division Commander Liu of the First Division, you are under his leadership and command, is there a problem?"
"No problem" "Okay, then set off immediately, come here, and send them to Ping'an Town in a jeep" Zhou Wu hurriedly said to the brothers beside him.
The fat man was worrying about how to get the two transport planes out of the airport in Ping'an Town, when someone came to report that the pilots had returned from captivity, which was the meaning of the military commander.
As soon as the fat man heard that Zhou Wu wanted these pilots to return, he felt that there was a play, and hurried over, and the captain Zhang saw that the fat man was coming in a hurry, and hurriedly reported to him: "Report to Division Commander Liu, we are ordered to come here and accept your command."
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said to them: "I knew this earlier, why did you run around, okay, this is fine, the commander has made it clear to you."
"Yes, Commander Ma wants us to obey your command of Senior Commander Liu."
Captain Zhang still said this.
"Okay, then I will order you to drive out the two big planes in the hangar here, load bombs and bomb the Kuomintang positions on the outskirts of Ping'an Town" The fat man was quite neat, and immediately assigned a combat mission to Captain Zhang and them, and asked them to drive the transport plane to drop bombs on the position of the Kuomintang Army Reinforcement Regiment t1706231537:
