20_20434 Due to the strict secrecy of the flight path, coupled with the aviation power of the Nationalist Government at this time, the embers have been basically lost. The remaining limited air force has long lost the ability to compete with the Japanese for air supremacy on the entire front. The few remaining troops can only concentrate their forces to undertake the air defense task of Sichuan, the rear of the country. There were no planes of the Nationalist Government Air Force on the Northwest Battlefield for a long time.

Because there was no opponent, and the battle lines of the two sides were relatively calm at this time, there was no big war. The aviation units of the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, which were not equipped much, were also rarely dispatched. In addition, the Japanese army did not expect that Yang Zhen did not choose the usual route of refueling through Dharan Zadagade, and chose to fly to Yan'an through the sky over the Alxa grassland.

Instead, he boldly chose to fly from the direction of Saiyin Shanda, and flew directly from the front line of the confrontation between the Japanese army in the Mengjiang garrison and the Suiyuan area. The lack of radar and other modern observation equipment, coupled with the fact that the Japanese army here is too arrogant and because it is not on the main front, the number of aviation units under its jurisdiction is too small, and Yang Zhen's seemingly small aircraft group has not been found at all.

Since flying over this so-called national border, which represents the shame of the Chinese nation, although the group of planes led by Yang Zhen chose a direct route to pass through part of the Japanese-occupied areas because of the shortcut, they have not encountered any interception or harassment by Japanese planes. Not to mention fighters, not even a reconnaissance plane was seen.

Yang Zhen's fleet, due to the range restrictions of the aircraft, tried to take a straight line. After flying over the national border, only part of the route was in the Japanese-occupied area, and when the group crossed the Yellow River in Baotou and entered the Yikezhao League in the Suixi region, which had not yet fallen and was still controlled by the Eighth War Zone of the Nationalist Government.

The troops stationed in Suiyuan and Yulin are basically miscellaneous troops and their equipment is very poor. Ground anti-aircraft fire, with the exception of a small number of light and heavy machine guns used for air defense, was essentially a blank slate. Not to mention anti-aircraft guns, there were not even a few anti-aircraft machine guns. After the group flew across the border, it was not intercepted by ground fire, not even harassed.

He didn't encounter any interceptions along the way, and Yang Zhen's trip was very smooth. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the group led by Yang Zhen arrived safely in the sky over Yan'an. At 3:15 p.m., under the cover of the P-39 fighter planes still hovering in the sky, Yang Zhen's plane was the first to slide down and begin to land.

Although they were not intercepted in any way along the way, the Japanese air raids on the rear did not focus on Yan'an. Although on the hill around Yan'an Airport, eight Japanese-made Type 88 guns, 16 25-mm Japanese antiaircraft guns, and 30 anti-aircraft machine guns were already used on the hills around Yan'an Airport> but these fighter pilots still did not dare to relax in any way. When the transport plane landed, it was hovering in the sky all the time, ready to meet the Japanese planes at any time. It wasn't until all the transport planes had landed and been towed off the runway that the fighters began to land one after another, as there was not much fuel left.

However, four of the twelve fighters used to escort the escort were ready to be dispatched after only a brief overhaul after being refueled. After all, although Yan'an was not as good as Chongqing, Xi'an, and Lanzhou, the key areas of the Japanese air raids, Yan'an, which was within the operational range of the Japanese air force stationed in Shanxi, was not less patronized by Japanese bombers. Since the Japanese army occupied Shanxi, it has suffered a lot of bombs.

The rest of the planes will land, naturally someone will arrange them, and Yang Zhen doesn't need to worry about it. When Yang Zhen's plane stopped taxiing, and Yang Zhen walked off the plane with Yuan Zhiruo and two guards, he was taken aback by the size of the crowd that came to greet him at the edge of the airport. He did not expect that the commander-in-chief would personally come to the airport to welcome him.

Although he had never seen the real founder of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Yang Zhen, who had seen a lot of photos of the commander-in-chief in later generations, still recognized at a glance that the person waiting on the side of the runway at this time was the commander-in-chief himself, who was highly respected and known as the father of the People's Liberation Army.

I saw that because the airport facilities were too simple, except for a rather rudimentary ground navigation desk, let alone the terminal, there was no place to rest. And the commander-in-chief, who was standing on the edge of the runway waiting for his landing, hurriedly walked over after getting off the plane. Stand upright and salute in a standard military posture.

Although the great man in front of him, although he was very excited, his career as a commander for more than a year had already taught him to suppress all his thoughts in his heart. However, although he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, Yang Zhen did not miss any of the etiquette that should be done. After saluting an extremely standard military salute, Yang Zhen respectfully called the commander-in-chief.

It's just that Yang Zhen forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and he seemed very calm on the surface. But that's just the surface, but in fact, it's not exempt from vulgarity. When I saw the great man I had admired for a long time, although I didn't have such a faux pas when I first met Mr. Lin.

But in my heart, I was secretly looking at what this great man and later generations knew about the difference from what he had seen in the photos. It's just that while Yang Zhen was looking at the generous commander-in-chief in front of him in his heart, he didn't know that the commander-in-chief had also been looking at him carefully.

Looking at the body in front of him, there was no difference between the texture and the guards around him, compared with the military uniform on Li Yanping, who reported to Yan'an at the beginning of the year, there was only one more chic cockade and two military uniforms with shield-shaped red collar badges. Yang Zhen stood in front of him in a standard military posture.

Rao is a military career for many years, and he has seen many young and promising generals, and the commander-in-chief, whose military age is even older than Yang Zhen's, can't help but be amazed by Yang Zhen's youth. Thinking of Yang Zhen's previous achievements, the commander-in-chief secretly praised in his heart: "What a rare young and promising commander, and a good general with both wisdom and bravery." ”

Seeing that Yang Zhen looked somewhat restrained in front of him, the commander-in-chief smiled honestly, and used an authentic Sichuan accent to the wife next to him and the people who came to welcome Yang Zhen: "What a young and promising general." Even General Cai Songpo, who was famous all over the world back then, did not achieve such achievements as you at your age. ”

Speaking of which, the commander-in-chief did not have a secretary, but personally introduced Yang Zhen to the people who came to welcome him. Listening to these names that he was familiar with in later generations, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, feeling that almost all the central leaders in Yan'an were present today. He didn't expect that the central government would give him such a high courtesy.

Although it is already the end of October, even in Yan'an, which is located in the northwest, the weather is not as cold as Beiman, which has snowed at this time. But after all, it has reached the weather in late autumn and early winter, and the weather in Yan'an is already very cold. It's just that although the weather is already very cold, the people who came to greet him in front of him, and the names that have been heard of in the future generations, still make Yang Zhen sweat.

Fortunately, people at this time did not have the red tape and etiquette of later generations. After making a brief introduction, the commander-in-chief took Yang Zhen to the Jisi 110 high-level bulletproof car that was waiting outside the airport and was sent to Yan'an by Yang Zhen in a roundabout way. Seeing this car, Yang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, but at the same time, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Judging from the maintenance status of this car, Yang Zhen can easily judge that this car is definitely the first time it has been used after it is transported to Yan'an. Presumably, for this oil tiger, the central government is reluctant to use it. Today, this car appeared in front of him, and it should have been specially selected by the central government to meet him.

Seeing Yang Zhen standing in front of this car in a daze, the commander-in-chief seemed to guess what he was thinking and smiled: "Why Xiao Yang, is it a little unexpected to see this car?" You little one, it's embarrassing a couple of us old guys to get it here. This oil tiger, even the chairman is reluctant to use it. ”

"The central government doesn't have the kind of convenient conditions you have, and it's not easy to get some gasoline, so you have to give priority to the radio station. There is excess gasoline there, feed this oil tiger? This oil tiger has been sealed since it was transported. Knowing that you are here today, the chairman specially asked the driver to drive out to greet you, and used this car as your car during your stay in Yan'an. Even I borrowed your light to get a ride in this high-end bulletproof car. ”

Hearing that the commander-in-chief said that this bulletproof car, the chairman actually gave himself special permission to use it during the Central Committee, Yang Zhen hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Boss, this can't be helped." Neither the chairman nor you sit down, I am qualified to do it. Besides, when I get to the center, I'm going home. Now that you're home, what's the point of riding in a bulletproof car? ”

Seeing Yang Zhen shaking his head violently, the commander-in-chief smiled: "Xiao Yang, for little devils, you are now much more valuable than us people." I heard that now the Japanese Kwantung Army has offered you a reward of one or two meats and a pound of gold. You're the central babybump now, and your safety is quite important to the central government. The devils who have always been stingy are so generous, can't the central government even be reluctant to take out a little gasoline? ”

Speaking of this, the commander-in-chief pushed Yang Zhen onto the car and said, "Don't have any scruples, since this car is specially approved for you by the chairman, you can use it boldly and boldly." Get in the car, you've been waiting for you for a while, Chairman. It's too late, he should be worried. ”

Yang Zhen, who was dragged into the car by the commander-in-chief, could only reluctantly obey the commander-in-chief and get into the car. After getting into the car, the commander-in-chief said to Yang Zhen with a smile: "Xiao Yang, you fought very beautifully this time. But the actual situation cannot be clearly stated in the telegram. Can you take some time to give me and some military cadres of the Central Committee a good account of the details of your battle and how you made up your mind at the beginning? ”

Hearing the commander-in-chief's words, Yang Zhen hurriedly said: "Boss, if you have time, I can make a detailed report to you tonight." In addition, among the gifts I brought to the central government this time, there was a documentary of the battle we filmed. Wait a minute, it can be specially screened for the comrades of the Central Committee to watch. But boss, I'm used to talking to maps when discussing military issues. Do you think I can use a map when I'm reporting to you? ”

Although he has become the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, Yang Zhen not only did not feel uncomfortable and disgusted with a little Yang in the boss's mouth, but had a cordial and natural feeling for the gentle elder in front of him. As the commander-in-chief often called him that. Come from! r405。
