The attack on Yuncheng Airport happened too suddenly, although the Japanese army in Yuncheng had already carried out a clean-up operation in the surrounding area, but because the Japanese army used its main energy to deal with the local national army and the Jin Sui army, it also relatively relaxed its attention to the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and said that they did not look down on the pitiful combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army at all.

Moreover, even if the Japanese army had the intention to rectify the law and order of this generation, it was also powerless at that time, and most of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, the largest garrison of the Japanese army stationed in Yuncheng, had been transferred to Hebei to clear out those guerrilla columns, and the only remaining troops on the Yuncheng line were the puppet army and the Japanese army with a squadron size, if it weren't for the fact that there was an airport in Yuncheng, I am afraid that there would be no Japanese troops with a large brigade in Yeshan's hands.

There is always only one way for the Japanese army to deal with the anti-Japanese forces, that is, the encirclement and suppression of the large army, forcing the anti-Japanese forces to move outward or break through with superior forces, and if the devils have sufficient troops, they will also set up several blockade lines on the periphery. Now there are only a dozen squadrons scattered in various places on the long-range front-line devils, and the largest number of them is the Japanese army and more than 800 imperial troops stationed in Yuncheng and the control of Yeshan at the airport.

However, Yeshan still sent troops to pursue for a while along the traces left by Tang Lei, not to mention that such a powerful anti-Japanese armed force appeared in his jurisdiction, which made it difficult for Yeshan to sleep, let's just say that the airport was destroyed for such a big thing, if Yeshan didn't have a prevarication on the top, the guy who ate on his neck couldn't really move. The Japanese squadrons and the Imperial Allied Army troops stationed on the front line of Yuncheng received instructions from Ye Shan, asking them to launch a new round of clean-up in their own areas and try to reduce the living space of the anti-Japanese forces on the front line of Yuncheng.

After all, Yuncheng Airport was one of the bridgeheads for the Japanese air force to attack Chongqing, and now it is a bit difficult to rely on Hanzhong Airport alone. For this reason, for Yeshan's dereliction of duty, not only the military headquarters in Taiyuan, but even the Japanese army base camp sent a severe reprimand, fortunately, Yeshan still has some upper-level relations in the base camp, plus he himself is also a brilliant record, and in the end, Yeshan was transferred back to the mainland and discharged from the army early.

The candidate to take over Yeshan's post was a lieutenant who was temporarily transferred from Taiyuan, and he was accompanied by a Japanese engineering brigade, whose main task was to restore the use of Yuncheng Airport as soon as possible, and the Japanese army originally planned to mobilize a number of fighters from elsewhere at the end of March to transfer to Yuncheng, but now it seems that it will not be possible in the short term, and the current condition of the airport is not suitable for the landing and routine maintenance of fighters at all, so they continue to rebuild the airport and provide a bridgehead for the Japanese air force to continue to bomb Chongqing.

The change of the commander of the Japanese army in Yuncheng and the stationing of the engineering brigade did not know about Tang Lei, who was recuperating from his wounds in a small mountain village, and Zhao Zhi, who was far away in Zhangwu County, also did not know. The Japanese army did not have any intelligence officers in Yuncheng until the civilians of Yuncheng, and the fact that they had obtained the plan of the airfield in advance was that those attackers would not have just blown up places like oil depots, weapons depots, and hangars. Therefore, this time, when the engineering brigade was stationed at the airport, it did not pass through Yuncheng at all, but went directly over the mountain road, and entered the Yuncheng airport directly from a place dozens of miles away from Yuncheng.

"Mr. Zhao, there is not much food in the city, there are more and more people in Zhangwu County, if you don't want to get some food back, I'm afraid someone will have to go hungry" Early in the morning, Zhang Lan blocked Zhao Zhi in the barracks in the west of the city. Zhang Lan couldn't see Zhao Zhi for a few days, and if it was half an hour late today, Zhao Zhi would take someone to the airport construction site in Qinglongping again.

Food has always been a problem for Zhang Lan, as the temperature rises, more and more people come to Zhangwu County to ask to join the base, the little food saved earlier is about to be eaten clean, the only thing that can solve this matter is Zhao Zhi, so Zhang Lan will come to block Zhao Zhi early in the morning to find a way. The people outside the city who shouted all day long to fight devils made Zhao Zhi also extremely headache, the weapons produced by the Kunming base arsenal were not enough for Zhao Zhi to arm so many troops, especially Zhao Zhi now looked down on the people who had just put down their hoes, and it was simply a waste of resources to shoot such people.

"Hey, do you want people from the Eighth Route Army? Do you think it's okay for us to arrange for these people to go to your base area? There are tens of thousands of people, can't your Eighth Route Army expand by several units? Looking at Zhang Lan who was holding the car door, Zhao Zhi who was sitting in the jeep was cynical with a hippie smile. Yu Dazhi's people have found more than once among those people that there are people like the Eighth Route Army doing small actions, Zhao Zhi's focus now is to complete the construction of Qinglongping Airport, and transport the materials from the Kunming base as soon as possible, as long as the hand of the Eighth Route Army has not reached into his training camp, Zhao Zhi just didn't see it.

"How can it be done, there is no surplus grain in the base area" After Shanxi came in from the Japanese army, the output was reduced year after year, and the little food in the people's homes was only enough for them to make a living. Since the Eighth Route Army marched out of Shaanxi and entered Shanxi in the Japanese army, it has raised a lot of military rations from the people, but this is still not enough for the main forces of the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army, so Yan'an has to mobilize food from the northern Shaanxi base area to the Eighth Route Army, so Zhao Zhi said that he would get the tens of thousands of people outside the city to the base area, which would simply kill the base area.

Looking at Zhang Lan's annoyed eyes, Zhao Zhi suddenly felt a little bored to tease such a woman, "Don't worry, I will mobilize some of the military rations for you, and in 10 days, your confusion will be solved" Zhao Zhi left and went to the construction site of Qinglongping Airport, but Zhang Lan was still standing in place and did not move. Zhao Zhi's words just now were a little ambiguous, but with a sharp edge, the clever Zhang Lan heard what Zhao Zhi said, but she just couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhi said to solve the food problem in 10 days, what could he do?

Zhao Zhi is not talking big, Qinglongping Airport has been basically completed, in addition to the hangar, oil depot and other infrastructure is still under construction, the runway and tower have been completed, the new arrival of large transport planes and bombers may have to wait a few more days, those P40 fighters can land at Qinglongping Airport at any time. The food problem, Zhao Zhi knew that he would face this matter one day after retaking Zhangwu County, so he was ready to mobilize the Jewish army to move to the Suiyuan area after the Qinglongping Airport was put into use.

Zhao Zhi's action time for Tang Lei is until this afternoon, there are 20,000 Jewish soldiers and tens of thousands of national troops in the barracks, and a large amount of materials are being consumed every day, even if Zhao Zhi has money in his hands, he can't conjure up so many materials empty-handed, and it takes time to spend money to sell them and transport them to Zhangwu County, Zhao Zhi's most scarce thing now is time, he can't afford to wait. "When we get to the airport in a while, you will arrange for someone to send a report to Tang Lei and them to inquire about the progress of the operation" Tang Lei and they have been gone for 6 days, and they have not taken the initiative to contact Zhangwu County, Zhao Zhi's heart is a little faintly worried.

"I know, when I get to the airport, I'll do it" Yu Dazhi, who was sitting in the front row of the jeep, nodded, afraid of exposing Tang Lei and they were not allowed to send a report casually, this was an order given by Zhao Zhi personally, this would suddenly change his mind, Yu Dazhi knew that Zhao Zhi was worried about Tang Lei and them. To be honest, only 40 people were given to Tang Lei to attack Yuncheng Airport, Yu Dazhi also felt that the number was a bit small, but there were more than 200 mercenaries who could be used in Zhangwu County, and those newcomers in the training camp did not have the strength to run long distances, and his own husband had no way to make that decision.

"Sir, Tang Lei has sent a telegram from there, the operation has ended, all the targets set in advance have been blown up, more than half of the squad has been killed and wounded, 9 people have been killed in battle, and 12 people have been seriously injured, and they are asking about the next plan of action" Zhao Zhi's jeep just drove into Qinglongping Airport, and Ye Kong, who stayed here, greeted him. The first thing Tang Lei did when he returned to the village was to send a report to Zhao Zhi, but Zhao Zhi had already left the county, and Luo Lin, who received the message, had no choice but to forward the telegram to Qinglongping, and Ye Kong had just received the message, just when he saw Zhao Zhi's car coming.

"Half of them were killed or wounded, it seems that Tang Lei and they were in a battle to escape death" The mercenaries that Tang Lei took away are not all elite, but they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers, as their commander, Zhao Zhi knows very well how their combat strength is, they can kill and kill half of them, I am afraid that the remaining half of them will also be injured. "Call back to Tang Lei, there is no next step, let them stay put, heal their injuries first, and then say, the ashes of the brothers who died in the war will be brought back, one less, I will skin him Tang Lei"

"Sir, but the telegram sent by Tang Lei only mentioned the places of oil depots, hangars, weapons depots and towers, and did not mention the destruction of the airport runway, do you think you can check with him again about the bombing of the target?" Ye Kong deliberately lowered his voice. Ye Kong is a person who has received a German-style military academy education, and he knows that in wartime, as long as those pilots are given a flat place, they can land fighters, not to mention that as long as the fighters can land safely, whether there is a hangar, a fuel depot or something is not the key at all, as long as the Japanese still have an airport runway in their hands, they are storing oil in the open air, and they can also ensure that the fighters take off, and Tang Lei's telegram did not mention the runway.

"No need, I already have arrangements for this, you just let Tang Lei and them take care of their injuries" Zhao Zhi looked at the dozen or so P40s parked on the airport runway, a hint of cunning suddenly flashed in his eyes, and an idea flashed in Zhao Zhi's mind.
