At the end of September, the weather in Yichang was pleasant, the broad Yangtze River rushed eastward, flowing into the East China Sea, on a fort by the river, Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 59th Army, was holding a telescope, carefully inspecting the situation of the river defense, accompanied by several lieutenant generals and division commanders.

Since the defeat of the Battle of Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek's political axe moved to the foggy capital of Yucheng, and handed over the defense of Yichang and other places to the 59th Army, Zhang Zizhong, who was stationed in Yichang, felt a lot of pressure, and Wuhan in the east was stationed with tens of thousands of small devils, often trying to attack the periphery of Yichang, and the ships of the little devils often sailed into the Yangtze River near Yichang.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhang Zizhong's command ability was excellent, and he built forts at several commanding heights and dangerous positions along the river, so the little devil did not capture Yichang, and the two sides are currently in a state of strategic confrontation. However, Zhang Zizhong felt that sooner or later, the little devil would concentrate superior forces to attack Yichang, and the little devil had been eyeing Yucheng.

After inspecting the Yichang defense affairs with a solemn face, Zhang Zizhong returned to the Yichang headquarters at noon, and a telegram sent by the correspondent made Zhang Zizhong, who was frowning, slowly appear with a long-lost smile on his face.

The telegram was sent by Zhang Yunfei, the two have been separated for more than a year, since they were separated on the battlefield in Xuzhou, they have never seen each other, and the two have contacted several times through the radio, but Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army has been transferred to most of China, Zhang Yunfei is also busy with military affairs, and the two have never had the opportunity to meet again.

Today, in the telegram, Zhang Yunfei said that he was going to take a plane to visit tomorrow, no wonder Zhang Zizhong would be so happy, and the brothers were going to see each other again, Zhang Zizhong, who was in a good mood, immediately said to a staff officer beside him: "Call Yichang Airport immediately and prepare for the plane to land, and a plane will fly from Shanxi tomorrow." ”

"Yes! Notify right away. The staff officer immediately straightened up, then turned and walked out of the headquarters.

On the outskirts of Yichang, there is an airstrip that can be used for planes to take off and land, but there are basically no planes on the airport, only two old-fashioned transport planes, one of which is still Zhang Zizhong's plane, as for the fighters, there is none, and all the fighters were lost in the air battle with the little devil Central China Front a few months ago......

This morning, Datong Airport is breezy and pleasant, the visibility is also very high, the sky is blue, on the side of the airport, there is a row of brand-new aircraft, at least a dozen, these planes are the latest production of Mustang fighters by Datong Aircraft Factory.

On the other side of the airport, in addition to a dozen or so previously captured little devil planes, there are also several brand-new transport planes, as well as an early warning aircraft that has just been produced, and the ground crew on the ground are refueling the planes and checking the planes. Today, Zhang Yunfei will take a flight to Yichang, and everyone is doing their work in an orderly manner.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yunfei's off-road vehicle appeared at Datong Airport on time, accompanied by Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the Political Department, Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, and Fang Zheng, deputy director of the Political Department.

After saying goodbye to everyone at the airport and explaining the relevant matters, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by Liu Xing of the special combat team, walked to a brand-new transport plane parked not far away, followed by Zhang Yunfei and more than a dozen special combat team members.

In everyone's farewell eyes, Zhang Yunfei's transport plane slowly drove onto the runway, taxied on the runway, and then flew into the blue sky, circled in the sky, and flew south. After the transport plane took off, six Mustang fighters and an early warning plane took off one after another, followed by the transport, and flew together in the direction of Yichang.

These six Mustang fighters were escorting Zhang Yunfei's plane, and Gao Zhihang personally piloted one of the Mustang fighters and followed closely behind. The formation of eight planes maintained a flight altitude of 8,000 meters, and it was speeding all the way.

After two or three hours of flight, the aircraft formation gradually approached Yichang City, due to the good weather, the visibility is very high, dozens of kilometers away from the Yichang Airport can already be seen, the aircraft formation and Yichang Airport to get in touch, the aircraft formation reduced the altitude, ready to land at the airport.

At Yichang Airport, Zhang Zizhong led his chief of staff and several division commanders to greet him at the airport in person. At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Zizhong was waiting for Zhang Yunfei's arrival at the airport, when he heard the roar of the plane faintly in the sky, and Zhang Zizhong estimated that Zhang Yunfei's plane had arrived.

At this moment, a communications soldier from the airport trotted all the way, ran over, stood upright in front of Zhang Zizhong, and said loudly: "Report to the military seat, Commander-in-Chief Zhang's plane has arrived, and it is ready to land at the airport immediately." ”

"Okay, I already know." Zhang Zizhong agreed with a smile, and then looked up at the sky. Several escorts next to him also looked at the sky together, only to see eight planes in the sky, reducing their altitude and slowing down towards the airport.

Gradually, the outline of the plane became clearer and clearer, the middle and front was a large transport plane, which was landing on the runway, and the planes behind were also landing on the runway one by one, and the plane taxied slowly, and finally stopped steadily.

When we saw these brand-new planes, we were secretly surprised, not to mention the two large transport planes, which were much larger than the two old-fashioned transport planes parked next to Yichang Airport, that is, the six escort fighters, at a glance, I knew that the surname can be very good, and the spraying on the fuselage is also very beautiful, the nose is sprayed into the shape of a giant beast with bared teeth and grinning, with a bloody mouth, giving people a great visual impact.

The people who were surprised in their hearts came back to their senses for a long time, and Zhang Zizhong immediately took everyone and walked towards Zhang Yunfei's landline.

As soon as the plane stopped, some special combat personnel opened the hatch and lowered the gangway, and Zhang Yunfei's figure appeared on the gangway.

The two were still more than ten meters apart, so they opened their arms in unison, and then the two hugged each other tightly, and the two separated for a long time, Zhang Zizhong's eyes were slightly red, and he said to Zhang Yunfei affectionately: "Brother, Xuzhou is goodbye, it's been almost a year and a half in the blink of an eye, I'm the eldest brother who has been born early, but fortunately, the elder brother is in his prime, and has grown into a pillar of the country, and he is a famous general, I am very relieved." ”

Zhang Yunfei's eyes were also a little moist, and he said with emotion: "Big brother, you are also in the prime of life, we can still fight side by side, let us do it again vigorously, and drive the Oriental clown out of our land." ”

"Okay, brothers work together, and their profits are gold." Zhang Zizhong stretched out his big hand and held Zhang Yunfei tightly, his eyes full of perseverance.

The two of them have a deep brotherly relationship, and they are also deeply moved by the people next to them, and the generals who have been experienced in a hundred battles for a long time are also deeply moved at this moment, and the eyes of several people are also starting to be a little red.

The two met and exchanged pleasantries together for several minutes, at which time Zhang Zizhong introduced Zhang Yunfei to the people behind him one by one, and the high-level officials of the 59th Army saluted Zhang Yunfei one by one, and shook hands with Zhang Yunfei warmly.

At this time, Zhang Zizhong began to look at the entourage behind Zhang Yunfei, and saw more than a dozen people behind Zhang Yunfei standing in a neat row, wearing majestic and generous camouflage uniforms and automatic weapons, revealing a murderous atmosphere.

Good guy, it's really good, Zhang Zizhong secretly praised in his heart, at this time, seeing that everyone had finished shaking hands with Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Zizhong asked a little curiously: "Brother, these are your guards, they are really mighty, much stronger than our military guard battalion." ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly and said, "This is a member of our wolf tooth special combat team. ”

Zhang Yunfei's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and everyone thought to themselves, this is the rumored member of the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team, this is the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team that makes the little devil frightened.

Zhang Zizhong, who was slightly excited, held Zhang Yunfei's hand and said excitedly: "This is the wolf's tooth special operation that successfully assassinated the little devil North China Front Army two or three months ago, no wonder it is so powerful." ”

Everyone sighed for a long time, and Zhang Zizhong said: "Brother, let's go, go to my military headquarters, our brothers and sisters will have a few drinks at noon today." ”

Zhang Yunfei looked at the time, and before he knew it, it was almost 12 o'clock, so he also said, "It's okay, our brothers have a few drinks today." ”

Zhang Zizhong invited Zhang Yunfei to sit in his black car, and the rest of the personnel got into several off-road vehicles or large trucks behind. Everyone went to the headquarters of the 59th Army in Yichang City.

Yichang City naturally does not have the prosperity of Datong, nor is it as big as Datong, and it only took more than 20 minutes for everyone to reach the door of Zhang Zizhong's headquarters. Along the way, Zhang Yunfei saw a lot of shabby dressed people, many of whom were even yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and it seemed that the people here were not doing well.

Along the way, I also saw a group of soldiers of the 59th Army, many of their military uniforms are very old, and the guns are basically made in Hanyang and 38, the weapons are more messy, and the machine guns are relatively rare, it seems that it is not the 59th Army of the old Jiang Yan's line, and the son is also having a tight time, more than a year ago, he captured and gave Zhang Zizhong a train of weapons and ammunition, after so long, I am afraid that it has been consumed.

Seeing these scenes, Zhang Yunfei's heart was suddenly touched, and he secretly thought in his heart that now that he has the ability, he still has to try to help his eldest brother, his eldest brother is a famous general, military command ability and patriotic enthusiasm are not to be said, if you can provide him with sufficient weapons and ammunition, then the little devil will definitely be able to strengthen the wings of a tiger.
