Chapter 705: On Meritorious Deeds

Ningbo, Lishe Airport.

Meng Shaoyuan hadn't slept all the time, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He knew that the paper bomb bombing would be successful, but if he became a party and was in this scene, his mood would be completely different.

What if?

If someone who did not belong to this era appeared in this era, would it change the normal trajectory of history?

In the Battle of Songhu, the 500 students of the military command should have died heroically, but most of them were rescued by themselves.

This has quietly changed history.

The butterfly flapped its wings...... No one knows where a storm will be set off.

If it is true that this bombing failed because of his appearance, then he is really a sinner.

No news at all.

Luo Liangjian was just as anxious.

He was persuaded by his men to go and rest for a while, but after two hours, he came again.

He didn't say much, his eyes stared straight at the sky, and he didn't say a word.

But everyone knew what was waiting for him there.

When I was having breakfast, I greeted him several times, and there was a person who looked like an official who was about to be hungry, so he took a baked cake, and only after taking a bite, he heard Luo Liangjian say coldly:

"Are you so hungry? Hungrier than a pilot who flew all night? ”

The official was holding this baked cake in his hand, and he couldn't eat it, nor did he put it, how embarrassing it would be.

Time seemed to stand still, and every second passed so slowly.

May 20 at 10 a.m.

"Emergency electricity, emergency electricity, Wuhan emergency electricity!"

Suddenly, Luo Liangjian's secretary rushed all the way with a telegram in his hand.

"Read!"

Luo Liangjian tried his best to keep his composure.

"Wuhan Electric Plane: My fighter plane No. 1404 landed at Yushan Airport in Jiangxi Province at 8:40 a.m. At 9:24, aircraft No. 1403 landed in Nanchang via Linhai...... Chinese Air Force, long live! ”

It was just a short period of astonishment, and in an instant, Ningbo Lishe Airport erupted into cheers that soared into the sky:

"Chinese Air Force, long live! Banzai! ”

The whole airport is completely crazy.

Everyone is venting their inner excitement to the fullest.

Chinese Air Force, long live!

Meng Shaoyuan kept saying this sentence over and over again in his heart.

Long live, Chinese Air Force!

Luo Liangjian's tense face finally showed a smile.

It worked, it still worked.

All the hard work before was worth it.

"Ah, breakfast, breakfast."

Luo Liangjian was in a good mood at this time, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone has worked hard all night, eat, first pad the stomach, at noon, let the canteen prepare a big meal, by the way, there is wine, and wine, all drink it happily!" ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of baked cake and handed it to the official who had been reprimanded by himself before: "Old Gu, eat a baked cake, it doesn't taste much." ”

The official took the cake and couldn't laugh or cry.

Meng Shaoyuan looked at all this, slowly turned around, and slowly left the airport.

I have personally experienced this great scene and experienced this exciting day!

China's counterattack has begun!

……

On May 20, 1938, the No. 1404 Special Bombing Squadron of the Chinese Air Force landed at Yushan Airport in Jiangxi Province via Ningbo. At 9:24, aircraft No. 1403 landed in Nanchang via Linhai.

At 9:30, all the crew members were notified to go to Hankou to rendezvous.

At 11:30, two Martin-139WC bombers landed at Wangjiadun Airport in Hankou after forming in the air.

Kong Xiangxi, president of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, and He Yingqin, minister of military affairs, also greeted them at the airport.

On May 22, Zhou, Chen, Wu, and Luo of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Workers' and Peasants' Party and the office of the 18th Army (the Eighth Route Army, all future chapters will be called the 18th Army), personally went to the Air Force Headquarters to express their condolences to the triumphant pilots and present them with a pennant with eight large characters written on it:

"Dulwich is used together, wisdom and courage are both complete".

Zhou Gong also gave a speech, praising their achievements and heroic deeds, and posing for a photo with Xu Huansheng and Tong Yanbo.

The news that the Chinese Air Force had successfully used paper bombs to bomb the Japanese mainland quickly spread throughout the country.

This is shocking news.

This is also a good news that the people of the whole country are excited about.

The bombing of the Chinese Air Force has greatly encouraged the determination of the Chinese people to resist the war to the end!

On May 23, the 74th issue of the famous "War of Resistance" published an article by Zou Taofen entitled "Air Force Expedition to Japan and the New Anti-Japanese Forces." Yu Zhonghua, a well-known critic of the magazine, pointed out in the "War Trends" column of the same period:

The leaflet gave Japan a warning that a million leaflets could be turned into a megaton bomb!

On 21 May, Ta Kung Pao also published an editorial on its front page entitled "Air Force Night Raid on Japan."

Abroad, this incident also caused a huge sensation.

The British "News Chronicle" editorial: "The Chinese Air Force recently flew to Japan to distribute leaflets to awaken the Japanese people to overthrow the warlords. ”

The Soviet Union's "Moscow News" did not hesitate to praise: "The Chinese Air Force played an important role in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and will undoubtedly play an even more important role in the future." ”

Other mainstream media in the world also believe that the Chinese Air Force's night attack on the Japanese mainland has completely broken the false claim that "Japan's sacred airspace cannot be attacked", ruthlessly extinguished the arrogance of Japanese imperialism, and greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese struggle of the people of the world.

The good image of the Chinese pilots was also fully demonstrated. In particular, Commander Xu Huansheng has won the reputation of "world-class pilot" of foreign counterparts.

……

Meng Shaoyuan did not attend the noon celebration banquet.

It's so tired, it's really tired.

It's not that I haven't rested for a minute since yesterday, but the anxiety in my heart when I wait.

When the good news comes, the spirit suddenly relaxes, and the whole person becomes exhausted.

When I woke up, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

Good guy, how long have you been asleep?

"Director Meng, are you awake?"

Gan Ning was already waiting outside, and as soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan coming out, he immediately greeted him: "Chief Luo has called a few times, I heard that you are sleeping, let's not disturb you, so let you go to him after you wake up." ”

"Got it."

Meng Shaoyuan yawned......

……

"Report to the chief, Meng Shaoyuan overslept and asked for punishment!"

"Young man, what good is it to not sleep all night and not wake up all day?" It can be seen that Luo Liangjian is in a pretty good mood: "I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat with you." ”

He asked the secretary to bring the dish hot, and brought a bottle of wine: "There were too many people at noon, and I didn't drink well, let's drink some more." ”

I found two cups to drink water, poured the wine to the brim, and took a sip with Meng Shaoyuan: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Young people should sleep well and eat well. ”

Today's Luo Liangjian is the unsmiling Chief Luo from before, as if he was a different person, approachable and quite kind to the elderly.

"Shao Yuan." Luo Liangjian even became affectionate: "This time, you have made great contributions, although you do not take credit or take credit, but I know in my heart that I have carefully said this in the telegram and with Dai Li." You are alone, coming to Ningbo for the first time, and in a short period of time, you can clear the Japanese special organization, which is not simple. ”

"These are all things that are within Shaoyuan's responsibility." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly politely said.

"Don't be too modest, merit is meritorious." Luo Liangjian took out his cigarette case: "Originally, I was going to apply for a reward for you, but Director Dai said that there are some small things, and there is no reward that will not be rewarded." also said that you Meng Shao was originally a monkey, and as soon as you give you a good look, you will be lawless and higher than anyone else. ”

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't cry or laugh.

Is Dai Li, scolding himself or boasting about himself?

But he also understood the meaning of Dai Li's actions.

Helping the committee to do things, doing it is guilty, and it is natural to do it.

Now the most deserving reward is for those pilots, as well as for the staff who served in the special bombing squadron.

As for the merits of the agents, they can be put aside for the time being.

The intelligence front should not be too high-profile in the first place.

Moreover, such a lack of merit can leave a good impression on the top.

To put it even more excessively, although Meng Shaoyuan was not publicly commended this time, whether it was the chairman of the committee or Luo Liangjian, they naturally felt that they owed him a reward.

With his Meng Shaoyuan's character, God knows what else he will do in the future, and when that day really comes, he may be able to save his life.

Luo Liangjian didn't expect this, he took out a cigarette from his cigarette case: "I thought, this bombing was successful, and the commendations and awards in the future will be wave after wave, so it's okay to put your affairs aside for the time being." However, the government will not forget you, the government will not forget, the committee will not forget, and the people of the whole country will know about it sooner or later. ”

Meng Shaoyuan knew that the opportunity to pat himself on the back had come again: "In fact, if you really want to say that you have merit, the first meritorious thing is the commission, and the wise leader without the commissioner will definitely not succeed." ”

Luo Liangjian nodded.

"The second meritorious one, of course, is Chief Luo." Meng Shaoyuan is full of like a traitor in a script: "Commander Luo personally sits in Ningbo, commands properly, and is not chaotic in the face of danger, so that my bombing squadron can take off smoothly in Ningbo." ”

Luo Liangjian had a smile on his face: "It's been said, it's been said." ”

Meng Shaoyuan then said: "The third meritorious person is naturally Xu Huansheng, the leader of the bombing squadron. ”

"Why him, and not the whole bombing squadron?"

"Because he is the pilot of the special plane in the chamber of the chairman."

"You're a little too smart."

Luo Liangjian pushed the cigarette case in front of Meng Shaoyuan: "Smoke a cigarette." No wonder Dai Li likes you so much, it's done, this matter will be put aside for the time being, and there is another thing, when we were busy bombing Japan, the war situation in Xuzhou also changed significantly. ”

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became attentive.

"Just yesterday, Xuzhou fell."

When Luo Liangjian said this, Meng Shaoyuan was actually mentally prepared for a long time.

The fall of Xuzhou is only a matter of time.

It's just that I've heard it with my own ears at the moment, and it's still a little bit unpleasant.

"The soldiers fought hard, but it was also good."

Luo Liangjian said.
