Chapter 755: Song of the Cavalry

"Colonel Alexei Anatolysky, welcome!"

In the suite of the International Hotel, "Mr. Davis", a Soviet pilot and instructor of aid to China, Colonel Alexei Anatolysky, finally met this mysterious "Director Meng".

"Thank you, sir, for going to great lengths to keep us safe."

Anatolysky said seriously: "We went in a big circle to Hong Kong, and then took a British cruise ship to Shanghai, originally thought that there would be a lot of obstacles, but I didn't expect that you actually gave us such a perfect arrangement. ”

"I have to." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "You came to China from the Soviet Union to assist us in the war of resistance, I have no way to accompany you to fly into the sky, but at least I can escort you safely and provide you with a satisfactory environment." ”

After speaking, he took a bottle of wine: "Vodka? ”

Anatolisky's eyes lit up at once: "That's amazing, come to such a bottle, all the fatigue of the journey can be eliminated at once." ”

Lao Maozi's crazy love for wine is famous all over the world.

Meng Shaoyuan took two glasses, poured wine, and handed one to the other party: "Colonel Anatolisky, I will escort you to Wuhan as soon as possible, but in the past few days, in order to ensure your safety, please stay in the hotel, no matter what you want, just talk to my people, I will satisfy you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Meng." Colonel Anatolysky took a big sip of wine, and suddenly felt refreshed: "I accepted the task of my superiors, responsible for training Chinese pilots, and at the same time taking care of joining the volunteer air force, defending China's skies, and killing those Japanese fiercely, my greatest wish is to rush to Wuhan immediately." ”

"I will." Meng Shaoyuan smiled faintly: "However, the situation in Shanghai is more complicated, I must ensure that you leave Shanghai safe and sound and reach your destination, those Japanese spies will not allow you to go so easily." ”

Colonel Anatolisky shrugged his shoulders, and could tell that he was not very afraid of these Japanese spies.

A large glass of vodka, Anatolysky only drank a few sips before it bottomed out, and Meng Shaoyuan immediately helped him fill it again.

"Ah, Mr. Meng." Anatolysky was satisfied: "It's a pleasure to be able to drink such good vodka in Shanghai. Ah, Mr. Meng, I have a student who was one of the first to arrive in China, his name is Poleonin, do you have any news of him? ”

"Of course there is, don't you know?"

In order to welcome this group of Soviet flight instructors, Meng Shaoyuan specially asked people to get all the information, and these materials are top secret information in both China and the Soviet Union.

A lot of the content was top secret, and Anatolisky, who was far away in the Soviet Union, certainly would not have known what his students in China were doing.

"Captain Porunin, that's a great thing." Meng Shaoyuan held the cup in one hand and waved it vigorously with the other: "His name should definitely be remembered by everyone!" ”

The commander of the first Soviet volunteer air force to arrive in Wuhan, Colonel Rychagov, developed a very bold plan:

Bomb the Japanese air base in Taipei!

And it was Captain Poryunin who carried out this task!

Hankou is nearly 1,000 kilometers away from Taipei in a straight line, and the combat range of the fast bombers equipped by the Porunin squadron is only 1,200 kilometers.

Taking off from Hankow to bomb Taiwan meant that the fighters had to return immediately after dropping bombs, and any mistake could lead to the failure of the operation.

Matsuyama Airport is located in the middle of a valley and is heavily defended by secluded terrain.

To bomb such a key protected target, it would be difficult for the bomber formation to retreat without fighter escort. But in order to increase the concealment and suddenness of long-range raids, it was finally decided to abandon fighter escorts.

After careful planning, on February 23, 28 bombers laden with bombs rose one after another and climbed to an altitude of more than 5,000 meters to fly directly to Taiwan.

At this altitude, the aircraft consumes less fuel, but the crew has to endure low temperatures and lack of oxygen for long periods of time.

Two hours later, the plane crossed the Taiwan Strait.

The Japanese army never dreamed that China would have the strength to bomb Taiwan, and the Songshan airfield did not even engage in any camouflage, and the newly assembled planes were neatly arranged on one side of the runway, and on the other side of the runway were huge oil depots and engine rooms......

When they saw the bombers in the air, 280 aerial bombs fell from the sky, puffs of smoke rose from the apron and runway of the airport, and the sound of explosions was earth-shattering.

After throwing the bomb, the unwilling Poleunin ordered the crew to go through the field at a low altitude, strafe the target with an aviation rapid-fire machine gun, and then calmly return home.

After refueling in Fuzhou, the bomber group returned to Hankou airfield without any damage.

More than 40 Japanese planes were blown up, countless fighters were destroyed before they could be assembled, and the aviation fuel stored in the airport's fuel depot was enough to serve the airport for three years.

The Japanese Air Force suffered huge losses in this bombing!

And it was Captain Poliunin who created this result!

"Aha, what a good boy!" Anatolysky said that others were children, but he was happy like a child: "Poleunin kicked the Japanese barbarian in the ass so badly that he should have been awarded a medal, but unfortunately such a feat could not be made public." Sir, let's have a toast to Polyunin! ”

"Cheers to Poleunin, to the Soviet pilots, to Sino-Soviet friendship!"

Anatolysky drank so fast that he drank more than half of a bottle of vodka alone.

Meng Shaoyuan opened a second bottle of wine.

Fuck, the old hairy man is too good to drink.

"I will fight to the end for this country!"

Anatolysky's alcohol gushed and his throat grew: "Our children who are fighting for China, I will reward them with a bottle of vodka each!" ”

This guy drank red face, one in English, one in Russian.

"It's a pity." Meng Shaoyuan's alcohol consumption is not comparable to Lao Maozi at all, and his face is as red as a certain part of some animal: "Until now, many Soviet pilots have been killed, and some of the remains cannot be found......"

"Child, my child." Anatolysky clenched his left hand into a fist: "Sacrifice, in the war against the invaders, there will be sacrifices, and it will be a great sacrifice!" Our motherland and people will never forget them! Since the October Revolution, the great Soviet Union, the great soldiers, have never been afraid of sacrifice! ”

He shook his fist a few times, then began to sing in a low voice:

"The camp in the distance was lit up, and the sunset disappeared into the clear night sky. Mounted on their horses and spears on their backs, the young cavalry set off in full gear. There was silence in the vast field, and the soldiers were alertly searching for the enemy......"

Although his throat is not very good, he sings beautifully and movingly.

In this era, except for the Soviet Union, few people have heard this song.

But Meng Shaoyuan was too familiar, he didn't know how many times he had heard it:

"Far across the river".

This is the song of the Soviet cavalry.

He couldn't help but sing along in Chinese:

The warriors shouted and rushed towards the enemy, and a desperate struggle began on the steppe. A soldier was shot and rolled off his horse, he died for the happiness of mankind......"

Although I can't understand Chinese, the melody of the song is completely correct.

Anatolysky was extremely surprised: "You will also sing this song?" ”

"I will, of course I will!" Meng Shaoyuan drank it, but he was extremely excited: "I have learned the song of the cavalry." I also sing a lot of songs. ”

"Come on, my child, sing it!" Anatolysky raised his glass: "There is nothing more than vodka to burn the fighting spirit of a warrior, nothing is more invigorating than a song to boost the confidence of a warrior!" ”

Meng Shaoyuan's voice was also not very good, but he still sang:

"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, the river floats with a soft light veil; Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like a bright spring light. Katyusha stood on the steep shore and sang like a bright spring sun......"

Katyusha!

This is the Katyusha, which later became known as the "second national anthem of the Soviet Union"!

This song was written in September 1938, which means that until now, Anatolysky, a Soviet man, has not heard this song.

He couldn't understand Chinese, and he couldn't understand what Meng Shaoyuan was singing there, but when he listened to it, he only felt that the blood was boiling in his chest, and he couldn't help but hum along.

"The young warriors stationed on the frontier miss the distant girl in their hearts; Bravely fought to defend the Motherland, Katyusha love will always belong to him. Bravely fight to defend the Motherland, Katyusha love will always belong to him......"

The two of them gulped down wine and sang "Katyusha" loudly over and over again.

Sometimes they laughed, sometimes they burst into tears.

For the sake of those who have already died, or are about to die!

……

When Meng Shaoyuan left the hotel, his face was red, and Gan Ning and Xu Zhu dragged him one by one, and finally stuffed him into the car.

"Suo...... Sofia...... You, how are you in the car? Meng Shaoyuan was drunk and hazy.

"Madame, let me pick you up for a trip."

"Ah, drive, drive."

Gan Ning started the car.

"Sophia, how did I find you...... So beautiful......

As the saying goes, wine is bold and courageous, Sophia is already beautiful and sexy, Meng Shaoyuan has coveted it for a long time, and she usually doesn't dare to do anything in the Rose Mansion, but now in the car, she drank too much, and actually grabbed Sophia's hand:

"I'm telling you, Sophia......"

"Loosen."

Sophia said coldly.

"If I don't let go, I'll ......"

"One last warning."

"I won't ...... Hmmm......"

Sophia slapped Meng Shaoyuan's neck.

Meng Shaoyuan fainted with a muffled snort.

Sophia straightened her clothes and said nothing, just as if nothing had happened.

Gan Ning, who was driving, and Xu Zhu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at each other, and neither of them spoke.

The boss was beaten?

Well, the same thought came to their minds:

Deserve!
