Chapter 332 Takeoff

On July 26, 1945, the day seemed very calm. The weather is very good and the sky is clear. Parks has issued this tactical goal in the morning - to rescue and be detained in Shenyang, and the formulated tactics will have a clear task for each platoon. After all, this is a tactical cooperation.

The brothers didn't have any training tasks on this day. All the people gathered in the barracks or on the training ground, and no one wanted to leave the camp. Since Herman and Kaufman were transferred by Major Parks, no one wants to touch this. But the brothers are still full of clinging. This can be said to be the most depressing time for them. Compared with Europe, this makes people feel completely at a loss. In Europe, at least they will go to the homes of some residents to change something they like. Or find some whisky or rum, etc., or even exchange cigarettes for eggs, etc., but you can't do anything here, and you can't even go out to breathe.

"Isn't this the place occupied by the [***] team? Why are they hostile to us? Kaber lay slanting in the barracks, and his eyes squinted at Hubler opposite him and said, "Even if it's just ten days, I feel like it's been a year. It's really unbearable. It's even more unbearable than training.

"We are a group of stupid soldiers trapped in the concentration camp!" Hubler smiled. He was tidying up his military uniform and folding it neatly. "The boss has never been so strict. Maybe it has something to do with his Chinese complex. Dude, be patient. Everything will be easy to say after today. I hope God can bless me! "Amen!"

"To be honest, I don't like it very much. The girls here won't let you touch them easily, and I don't want to be beat like a pig's head by people here like Herman. That idea is so stupid!" Luz nodded and said, "Why are we here? Just because there are people here and the people that General MacArthur needs to find, I can't believe that so many of us are looking for a general!"

"Don't complain, Luz, this is a reflection of our value." When Toy walked in, he heard Luz's complaint. He smiled at him and said, "A general is equal to 126 commandos. But I like this task. I haven't killed the Japanese guy yet, but they all keep the blood of fascists, just like the Germans, right? With that, he sat down **, and then took out his favorite bayonet from his waist and wiped it with a cloth.

"Well, I decided to make my first commando company's mission more perfect. Maybe I can use this Luger." Hubler took out a Ruger pistol from his leg pocket, and then raised it and looked at the opposite Kab.

"Damn it, don't be at me!" Kabo snorted with some dissatisfaction, and then turned his sideways. His appearance made Hubler laugh and said, "Don't worry, there are no bullets in it!"

"No, no, Hooborough, I'm afraid that the thing in your crotch will shoot out. There are bullets there. It can be loaded at any time, isn't it?" Carper's words immediately caused a burst of laughter among the people in the barracks.

The atmosphere in the barracks is relatively relaxed, and Captain Parks and Wales are also making final preparations for tonight's action. At this time, there was a roar in the sky. Six C-47 transport planes arrived at Liuting Airport from Chengdu Airport. Each plane was equipped with three crew members, and they were properly placed.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army arranged around the airport also obviously strengthened the guard of the airport. All personnel were not allowed to enter the airport. The atmosphere around the whole airport was very tense, and an unexpected incident occurred in the afternoon. The sheep of a sheep herding farmer accidentally ran into the grass near the airport. The farmer wanted to go in to find the sheep, but was stopped by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. The farmer shouted for the Eighth Route Army to compensate the sheep, otherwise he would let him go to the airport to find the sheep. In the push, a miniature telescope and a Japanese military Southern Type 14 pistol fell from the farmer.

Parks didn't know about this situation, but in the afternoon, he met General Li Zmin, deputy political commissar of the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army again. I didn't say anything this time. I just asked Major Parks what else he needed, and discussed topics such as if the two militaries cooperate in the future, hoping to see Parks again. But these are not Parx's point.

"These days, there are people trying to enter the airport and your camp. It seems that some people are a little uneasy about your arrival!" In the end, General Li Zmin didn't know whether he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the things of these days. "Someone tried to sneak into the airport and your camp to spy on intelligence, but we were all sent away. Take today as an example, there is also a Japanese spy dressed as our farmer and trying to sneak in. Some people just can't see the cooperation between our two armies and try their best to destroy this cooperative relationship!"

Parks smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much for your help. Personally, I still hope to cooperate with your army, but you know, I'm just a major, and I have to follow orders. Of course, I will convey the sincerity you have shown this time to my superiors, if I can meet MacArthur.

Li Zmin wants this sentence. To be honest, the current situation of the Eighth Route Army is relatively difficult. Although they are now at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, their conditions have not improved much. Moreover, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the external contradictions will inevitably turn into domestic contradictions. At that time, the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China is inevitable. Now the Kuomintang is strong, and it is itself Weak, so how to find a way out of the predicament? Obviously, a good relationship with the U.S. military is one of the ways out. Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to risk huge losses to attack Yantai and take off the Liuting Airport. Although it may get the American equipment of the two divisions, it is likely to cause the rebound of the Japanese army and the jealousy of the Kuomintang. The military and political risks are very great, so General Yang Cwu specially instructed that, We must do a good job in this escort work. And take this opportunity to show an attitude to the U.S. military that the Eighth Route Army also wants to have a good relationship with the U.S. military, rather than confrontation.

"So, thank you, Mr. Parks first!" Li Zmin smiled slightly, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Parks's statement. Then he said quietly, "For the conflict that occurred some time ago, we have dealt with our relevant personnel. Wang Erhu was a secret agent in the army led by the Chinese Kuomintang, and platoon leader Zhang was just bewitched by him. So we dealt with Wang Erhu and removed Zhang's position as platoon leader to express our apologies!"

"Thank you very much!" Parks nodded. He knew what Li Zmin was thinking. But he can't make too much statement. This is not his duty, nor is it what he can do. The two said something more, and then when they said goodbye, Li Zmin sent an invitation to Parks again: "Mr. Parks, I personally invite you again in my name. If there is a chance, I hope you can come to our base to have a look. We can discuss some art of war. I have a great admiration for the honor you have achieved.

"Why not?" Parks nodded. This is a irresponsible promise, which may never be fulfilled. It doesn't matter if he expresses it verbally. He also knows that the Eighth Route Army must have investigated his own experience. And my experience is no longer a secret to the whole world. Now I just want to use my relationship and influence.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the company began to sort out the equipment. They could not bring extra things. They only carried the weapons and equipment for this mission. Then they will fly directly to the aircraft carrier Yorktown after the mission is completed.

Start boarding at 4:30 p.m. Each platoon was scattered into six teams and drove to Liuting Airport in a truck. On the way to the airport, there were security troops of the Eighth Route Army standing guard not far away all the way. The job arrangement is very intensive. In case there is a problem at the last minute.

The truck gradually left Liuting Airport, and Private Webberly closed his mouth tightly and looked at the camp that was gradually moving away without saying a word. Lieutenant Thomas, who was sitting next to him, looked at him and then patted his arm and said, "Hey, Webley, what are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything, sir!" Webley straightened his body like a spring, and then said seriously to Lieutenant Thomas. His hands were a little overwhelmed and he didn't know where to put them.

"Are you nervous?" Thomas looked at Webley with a smile. "How long have you been in Europe?"

"Three months, sir, just after the Battle of Baststone, I added it." When Webley answered, the expression on his face was still a little stiff. Obviously, he was really nervous.

"Ha ha, you are still a new recruit, but being able to join the commando is a compliment to you. Your shooting is quite good. You are a sniper. Keeping calm is the best way for you to defeat the enemy.

"Yes, I know, sir!" Webley nodded. He tried to smile at Lieutenant Thomas, but only the corners of his mouth. Lieutenant Thomas didn't care at all. He patted Webley on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I'm also quite nervous. By the way, Webley, do you know what our company commander, Major Parks, once said? In battle, only when you die will you not feel afraid. I don't know if the original sentence is like this, but the meaning is similar.

"Yes, sir. I've heard of it!" Webberly nodded.

"Very good, Private Webley!" Lieutenant Thomas said here and stopped talking. He looked in the direction of the barracks. He could no longer see the barracks, and the military car had turned a few turns.

Trucks entered the airport, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers were on guard with live ammunition near the airport. After the truck stopped, the soldiers jumped down and began to prepare to board the plane. Each platoon has two groups, one group and one plane.

"Poor me, you will welcome a hungry tiger released from the cage!" The moment Granary boarded the plane, he couldn't help saying loudly.

"Kone me!"

"I'm going to parachute to Tokyo and kill the emperor!"

"God, I'm going to be unlucky. It's because we're coming!"

......

The brothers were amused by Grenari's words, and then when everyone entered the cabin, they would shout loudly at the door of the cabin, which made everyone laugh.

At 5:00 p.m. on July 26, 1945, the engine of the plane roared, the propeller rolled up a huge wind, and the plane began to slide on the airport, gradually sliding into the sky!
