Chapter Seventy-Four: The Pilot's Affair

"Huh? Three days, such a time, can it be a day! ”

"You think this is a vegetable market, bargain, this is a barracks, you are a soldier, obey orders!"

This incident gave Liao Fan a good idea, which is also the reason why Zhang Cuihua was not blown away, this era is not like the 21st century, pheasants and wild boars are protected animals. For this reason, Liao Fan set up a professional hunting team the next day, digging traps and traps, as long as you don't use a gun, you can use anything, because the bullets are too expensive, and one less is missing. The condition of the wounded has also improved a lot.

Liao Fan asked some local villagers what is the best thing to raise in the mountains nearby, there are not many big rivers, but small rivers are everywhere, Liao Fan asked the soldiers to dig a fish pond in an inaccessible place, although there is no feed, the fish breeding cycle is a bit long, but it is stronger than nothing, and finally found some meat for the soldiers, at least it can ensure that the wounded can be used.

In the past few days, Liao Fan caught a wild boar, which was not big, just enough to raise it, and when Liao Fan was building a pigsty with a squad of soldiers, Liu Chundao came with Political Commissar Liu.

"I didn't expect that Commander Liao is not only an expert in war, but also a mason, and my old Liu admires you more and more." Political Commissar Liu said with a smile.

"Haha, let Political Commissar Liu smile, take Political Commissar Liu to the headquarters, I'll wash my face and come later."

"No, I also learned the mason's craft from Captain Liao, maybe it will be of great use in the future." Political Commissar Liu rolled up his sleeves and began to build a pigsty with Liao Fan.

"I don't know, what is the purpose of coming to Political Commissar Liu this time?" Liao Fan went straight to the point.

A division political commissar will not run to this side for no reason, although he helped himself transfer the people, but since then he has not shown his head, he must have been entangled in other things, when the people moved back, Sun Boyong was busy by himself, and it took fifteen days.

"Hehe, the last time I transferred the people, it was indeed my negligence, and a notice came down from above, let's go to Yan'an for a meeting, I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to tell you in a hurry, this matter is indeed our dereliction of duty, and we are sorry for the people."

"This is a mistake, they are the people of our defense area, it is our problem that we have not been able to protect them, and it is also urgent to ask the Eighth Route Army for help, and besides, you have helped us temporarily settle the people, and we should express our gratitude to your department." Liao Fan knew that they were not responsible at all for this matter.

"Since Commander Liao is straight to the point, I won't talk nonsense, the content of this meeting is about Soviet pilots, Chongqing and the Soviet government jointly put pressure on the government of our border region to hand over the Soviet pilots, and it seems that we will be responsible for this matter." Political Commissar Liu pretended not to know where the Soviet pilots were.

"Don't hide it from Political Commissar Liu, the Soviet pilots were indeed rescued by my troops, and they are still in our troops." Liao Fan knew that this time the matter could only be handled through the Eighth Route Army, so he didn't want to continue to hide.

Liao Fan said bluntly that this was beyond the expectations of Political Commissar Liu: "Brother Liao, I will not continue to detain international friends and not return them." ”

"It's not going to happen, you also know how difficult it is to fight with the little devils in the mountains, we have no logistics, no supplies, everything has to be taken from the little devils, and I heard that the Soviets have a lot of good things in their hands." Liao Fan smiled, "As long as Political Commissar Liu reports what he has learned to you, I believe that your problem will be solved." ”

"Brother Liao wants to make a deal directly with the Soviets?" Political Commissar Liu is a little uncertain about Liao Fan's pulse, which is different from what they think.

"The Soviet pilots are international friends, and sending pilots and planes to help us defend Wuhan is more reliable, and I think it is more reliable to make some deals with the Chongqing government." Liao Fan said.

Political Commissar Liu knew that Liao Fan would not easily let himself take away the Soviet pilots: "It seems that Brother Liao has already planned it, and I am here for a long time." ”

"There is one thing that I would like to ask Political Commissar Liu to help with."

"Oh, Brother Liao has something to say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Political Commissar Liu saw that things had taken a turn for the better.

"It is inconvenient for our department to have direct contact with the Chongqing government, and you may need to be an intermediary in the matter of Soviet pilots." Liao Fan said directly.

"Oh? Brother Liao, this is embarrassing for us, the credit is obviously yours, but we are suspected of robbing the credit of friendly forces. ”

"Actually, I don't plan to ask Chongqing for many good things, 1,000 rifles, 20 machine guns, 200 bullets for each rifle, if Political Commissar Liu doesn't agree, I will send the pilot to Chongqing by my own means." Liao Fan said.

"I still don't understand why Brother Liao did this." Political Commissar Liu said bluntly.

"Does Political Commissar Liu think that this price is too low, I don't want an ordinary rifle, I want a Soviet-made Mosina dry rifle." Liao Fan handed over the work in his hands to a soldier, "As for what your ministry wants, even if you open your mouth to Chairman Chiang, I believe that under the pressure of the Soviets, Chairman Chiang will definitely agree." ”

"Brother Liao, this is a huge benefit to my department, which is exactly what I can't understand." Political Commissar Liu also stopped what he was doing.

"Haha, in the words of Political Commissar Liu, we are all devil-fighting troops." Liao Fan said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll report the matter to HQ when I get back, and if they agree, I'll do my best to help you with this, but I still have a question."

"We have already told the Soviets that people are not here at all, and if they suddenly come out of us again, they will be a bit suspicious of blackmailing international friends."

"Bandits, according to the report of my subordinates, now the bandits in Taihang Mountain are rampant, the bandits are profitable, if they don't take the money, the bandits will tear up the ticket." Liao Fan said nonchalantly.

"Haha, Brother Liao laughed, you are anti-Japanese heroes, not to mention anything else, there are more than a thousand little devils eliminated in this recent battle. If you were to be charged with a bandit, it would be difficult for me. "Political Commissar Liu didn't intend to describe Liao Fan's troops as bandits.

"If Political Commissar Liu doesn't say that it was done by bandits, I'm afraid Chairman Jiang's things won't be good." Liao Fan knew better that Chairman Jiang would not hand over so many weapons and equipment to Yan'an.

"Haha, in that case, I'm in vain." Political Commissar Liu is also a cheerful person, and their troops are also short of supplies, since Liao Fan has sent them such a big benefit, the next is, "Can I meet the pilot?" ”

"Chundao, take Political Commissar Liu to meet the Soviet pilots, and tell the cooking squad to have lunch at noon today." Since a preliminary agreement has been reached with Political Commissar Liu, Liao Fan is not hiding, and he is not a treasure.

Political Commissar Liu met the Soviet pilot, confirmed that his identity matched that of the missing pilot, and told him that he was safe here and that it would not take long to send him back.

"Political Commissar Liu transferred my station today, do you have any good suggestions?" Liao Fan asked at lunchtime.

"From the sentry post to the barracks, from the barracks to the headquarters, I have walked through many stations, and you are the best station I have ever seen." Political Commissar Liu said, "It's not ......"

"Political Commissar Liu, but it doesn't matter, you are a teacher for all of us in governing the army."

"Haha, don't you dare to be a teacher, I think if the little devil's plane is coming, how do you know in advance?"

"Political Commissar Liu is talking about the issue of air defense, and we really lack experience in this, not only in our troops, but also in the entire Chinese army." Liao Fan was heartbroken, and the planes of the Chinese Air Force fell one less and one less, and there was no production capacity at all, "I don't know what good way Political Commissar Liu has?" ”

Political Commissar Liu also sighed: "Hey~ The entire air supremacy is in the hands of the Japanese army, and we have no good way so far." ”

The two chatted for an afternoon, and Liao Fan told Political Commissar Liu that he only wanted to fight the little devil wholeheartedly, and he didn't want to get involved in politics, unless he had to. At this time, Political Commissar Liu knew Liao Fan better, and Liao Fan also gained a lot in military affairs, and it was not until the evening that Political Commissar Liu said goodbye and left.
