The night gradually fell, the night in early spring was not as short as in winter, but at about half past six, the sky began to gradually darken, and after seven o'clock, the visibility was already quite low, as for after eight o'clock, some people in the countryside who could not afford to use kerosene lamps and candles had already entered the state of sleep.

In Wuhan, in this secret airport, 8 o'clock, is the time when the real excitement begins, just after 8 o'clock, a huge large transport plane, one after another out of the hangar, this after several rounds of modification, some like the later American B17 aircraft, but in the engine and aerodynamics is higher than the B17, almost catching up with the B29.

Wuhan to Nanjing, but the distance is more than 600 kilometers, because there is also an airport opposite, the selected empty one-way flight mission, and do not need to carry self-defense firepower and part of the flight attendants, the overall carrying capacity has reached the highest, almost 12 tons.

A transport aircraft with a total load of about 12 tons, a transport aircraft that can transport 60 fully armed fighters, and transport all their equipment over, special operations brigades, reconnaissance regiments, paratrooper lions, the equipment of these troops, all of which are very unique, and it is inconvenient for Nanjing's arsenal to prepare, fortunately, the Northwest transport aircraft has a sufficient load capacity, a load of 12 tons, a fully armed warrior, a weight of 25 kg, with an average weight of 75 kg, basically 100 kg a person, in principle, With a load capacity of 12 tons, it can pull up 120 people. But what can be saved is materiel, 25 kilograms of weight, but with basic combat materials. The rest is also on average at the same weight, which is basically equivalent to 200 kilograms per person. It's exactly 60 people.

In order to make 18,000 people successfully pass, the Northwest prepared 400 aircraft. In Wuhan's hangar, there are almost 200 planes, and there are 200 planes that will fly to Wuhan from all directions, which also shows the convenience of aircraft, as long as they get air supremacy, the sky is their world.

The scout was the first to board the plane, and at the front, there was a special guest. He didn't fly on a large transport plane, he flew on a more reliable, unfinalized, small transport plane, although it only had a take-off weight of about 3 tons, but it flew higher and faster, basically, in this world. For some time, no one will threaten his height.

This is Yan Xishan, who made a decision from Baotou all the way to Wuhan. The staff were all persuading him to dispel this idea, but the stubborn Yan Xishan insisted on going to Jiangsu. There is no way, and the northwest is also weaving and letting it go. Fortunately, there is still the necessary protection. The reconnaissance group and some paratroopers will go ahead of schedule, and even if Yan Xishan boards the plane first, he will not take off, he will follow the special operations unit and go there together, and the ride is also the latest finalized new product.

Sitting in the small plane where the smell of paint has not yet dissipated, it has undergone a simple modification, and there is a small table fixed on the plane, which can be fixed with a glass pressure plate to fix the military map, even in the case of air flow disorder, it can also carry out some combat arrangements, Yan Xishan's staff officers directly under the military department have all boarded this small plane, a total of 21 people, because they have antidiarrheal belts necessary self-defense weapons, so 21 people are basically less than 2 tons of weight, This is a large margin compared to the maximum take-off weight of 3.5 tons of small aircraft.

After Yan Xishan went up, he devoted himself to the study of the battle situation, and the secret airport began to take off one by one, 10 runways, after careful design, facing different directions, all the pilots were well-trained, and it only took more than an hour to complete all the takeoffs.

The first group was the first to board the plane, as well as a small part of the paratrooper lions, the first batch of almost 11,000 people, a total of 200 planes, in a no-man's land dozens of kilometers away, after a simple reorganization, turned off most of the lights, lined up in a neat formation, and flew quickly towards Nanjing. The speed of this transport plane is about 453 kilometers per hour, which is a little more than an hour, and it takes less than two hours to reach Nanjing.

At about half past nine, half an hour after the previous planes took off, another 200 planes landed in Wuhan from all directions, and then pulled up thousands of soldiers and flew to Nanjing, but this time it was a little late, because it took time to land and load, basically around 11 o'clock, and most of the take-off was completed.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, in the suburbs of Nanjing, in the sky, there was a slight roar, in the silent night, it seemed so obvious, but in this era, the people went to bed early, and the route of the plane also avoided the densely populated cities, because of the existence of the northwest, most of the people in the whole of China were absorbed into the northwest, and there were only tens of millions of people in the south, distributed in the vast cities and rural areas, plus the northwest has been cultivating the land all over the country, and there is no problem of eating. If you do a little work, you will be able to survive, and to a certain extent, the northwest has even alleviated social contradictions.

The huge formation of planes slowly approached Nanjing, and in a racing circuit on the outskirts of Nanjing, the same thing happened as in Wuhan, and almost within a few hours, it changed from a desolate racing track to a temporary airport, with countless flashing lights, radios and straight channels, allowing planes to land.

This was the first large-scale use of airplanes after owning airplanes from the northwest, and at this time, whether it was the reduction of trains to zero, or ships, they were hundreds of kilometers away, and only these vanguard troops arrived first.

From 11 o'clock in the evening, the whole circuit was brightly lit, and it lasted until half past two in the evening, some of the returning planes began to fly back after refueling, and the rest, the planes left in Nanjing, entered the hangar, until tomorrow, when someone arrives here, when they look at this airport, they see that it is probably still a silent racing track, and everything is hidden underground.

Bright lights, perfect radio guidance, after the secret airport was built, these aircraft pilots also flew over, under the leadership of skilled pilots, in the guidance of lights, slowly landing, dozens of kilometers away, hidden in the dark, like a giant beast of Nanjing City, without the slightest reaction, the terminator who ended them, has slowly arrived in Nanjing, the leaders of the revolutionary party, are still immersed in, next, can be in the northwest of many railway nodes, get the harvest of the sweet dream.

The first batch of planes landed, the lights at the airport were turned off, and more than 2 hours later, another batch of planes landed, this was the last batch, and when this batch of planes flew away with emergency refueling, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the evening.

Yan Xishan was the second batch to come by plane, he was a little impatient in his personality, he was unwilling to stay in the rear, and after persuasion failed, Zhang Xiaohuai and Jiang Baili let it go. Not to mention the 18,000 people of the three regiments, let's talk about the 6,000-person special forces, scattered in the city, it is simply a big killer, caught off guard, even if it is the regular army in the northwest, it will be hit by a lot, not to mention the rabble like the revolutionary party, after the vanguard is discovered, it is impossible to endanger Yan Xishan's life, in the moment of crisis, even if the aircraft is exposed, most of the people must be transported back, especially the special operations regiment and paratrooper regiment, which are built at a heavy cost.

In the underground of the racetrack, there are 12 floors, the front 10 floors and 5 large compartments, used to load aircraft, 400 planes to transport these soldiers, 200 of which will fly back, and the rest, will be arranged in Nanjing, whether it is the next war, or the recovery of the south, this may be used, just in case.

The aircraft is considered a secret in the northwest, but if it is only used in the country, and then do a good job of secrecy afterwards, there should be no unique problems, even if it is leaked, it doesn't matter, with the current level of the powers, no matter how much they value it, at most they will make an airplane that is not as good as the northwest No. 1, the engine and the entire aerodynamic shape, this is a big problem, they have a long way to go.

Tucked deep underground, the 12th floor has a strong defense, and even the radio receiving antenna is extended to the outside through a pre-embedded line, which is not only strong, but also secret, making it the best choice for the headquarters......

The huge combat map was directly placed on the wall, and Yan Xishan began to receive information, with the General Staff as the intermediate node, there will be 12 channels, and the latest situation will be summarized here in Yan Xishan, from the beginning of the departure to the present, in such a factory time, the changes of the revolutionary party are in it.

In fact, there is really no change, the quality of the revolutionary party proves that they are slow, up to now, the fastest mobilized troops, have not yet completed the preparation for leaving the camp, more than 100 divisions, basically, are still in their respective stations, which makes Yan Xishan slightly depressed, according to the decision of the Northwest Military Commission and the General Staff, they will only do it after the revolutionary party has moved.

Fortunately, in 12 places around Nanjing, there are similar large-scale underground fortifications, not to mention hiding an army, an army of about 130,000 people, even if it is hiding 500,000, it is no problem, a few days of hard work, in terms of the degree of secrecy in the northwest and the dullness of the revolutionary party, it is impossible to find it at all.

The combatants, after a day's journey, slightly tired, left the necessary sentry posts, then entered the underground in different rooms to rest, not to mention a large number of small rooms, even in the hangar, there are a lot of places, when one by one the soldiers into sleep, the officers checked the sleeping situation, then concentrated in the largest war room, the map has been laid, the battle plan has also begun to be implemented, Yan Xishan simply informed them, in the next week, The biggest task is to lurk, of course, to maintain a high degree of vigilance, this is already at the last moment, not to capsize in the gutter.
