Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 458 Air Rescue

Tang Qiuli changed his expression. Abe San, this bastard, is so ruthless in his actions. He always passes the sieve. Sooner or later, the Tang family's nest shop will be discovered by the Japanese. The villagers don't know that the danger is approaching. It's really scary. He continues to read the telegram.

"After much work was done by many parties, and the news of the Japanese gang's arrest of people surnamed Tang was also known to the villagers, after several discussions, it was decided to abandon the Tangjiawopu and move the village away. Now the villagers are unable to gain a foothold in the Northeast.

, including relatives of comrades, a total of 368 people need to leave the immediate Northeast to avoid being poisoned by the Japanese."

Seeing this, Tang Qiuli felt relieved. The villagers finally figured it out, but what happened next made his heart tighten again, as if a huge boulder was pressing on his chest, making him unable to breathe.

"The difficulty now is that the Japanese have tightly sealed the borders of Northeast China and do not allow a single person to leave the Northeast. There are nearly 400 people who cannot pass through the Japanese border lines anyway, and all the roads leading into the border are occupied by Japanese troops.

He traveled more than a thousand miles to occupy the area and was responsible for the lives of his fellow villagers. Qiuquan did not dare to take risks."

"A few days ago, we conducted a test with a small force and exchanged fire with the Japanese *** troops many times. Our unit suffered 13 casualties. The armed forces were able to fight through, but the unarmed and inexperienced villagers were unable to pass through. They were in disbelief.

The solution is helpless. Commander Qing will plan a good strategy as soon as possible. We also learned that the population census in Mijia Town has been completed. Within five days, we can go to Tangjia Wopu. If there is an emergency, Tang Qiuquan."

Tang Qiuli's head was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out. He shook his body a few times. When the old man saw his expression changed, he seemed to be stupid. Feeling the seriousness of the matter, he signaled Mei Ling to take the telegram.

Mei Ting and Mei Xue

, stood up in shock, Mei Ting supported her husband, she had never seen her husband so distracted, Mei Xue also ran to his side, and when she was about to stretch out her hand, she suddenly withdrew her hand, her eyes filled with tears.

worried concern.

Tang Qiuli woke up and saw the family looking at him with melancholy faces. He forced a smile and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm fine." In fact, Tang Qiuli had no idea at all now. Even in Shijiazhuang, the closest city to the northeast,

It was thousands of miles away to get to Tangjia Wopu in Eastern Manchuria. After fighting all the way, parents and fellow villagers, men, women, old and young, who had no combat experience, how many of them could make it to Dingbian alive?

Staying in the Northeast is also a dead end. The Japanese plan this time, secret agent Lei Huo, has made it very clear in the intelligence. It is to target the families of Tang Qiuli and his comrades in the army. Abe San's move can be regarded as a chokehold.

Tang Qiuli's lifeline was cut off, and he had hundreds of thousands of brave and capable warriors, but he was unable to save the lives of his parents and fellow villagers.

Should he lead the troops to fight all the way? The final outcome is that his parents and fellow villagers were not rescued. The troops were wiped out by the superior Japanese army and ended up being annihilated. Brother Qiuquan is fully capable of rescuing his parents alone.

, but what about the relatives of those comrades-in-arms? Just watching them fall into the hands of the Japanese, how can I face my friends who have been together since childhood and are today the commanders of the ** division at all levels?

Tang Qiuli was in despair. His face was pale, and he sat down on the chair helplessly. He looked blankly at the early winter night sky outside the window. There was nothing he could do. There seemed to be countless bees flying "buzzing" in his head.

After reading the telegram, the Mei family realized the seriousness of the matter. The old man never expected that the Japanese would do such a cruel thing to relatives they had never met. He could not defeat his uncle on the battlefield, so he used such despicable and shameless methods.

Means, "Japanese! Japanese!" the old man said bitterly with his thick eyebrows raised, and the old lady was so anxious that she wiped her tears.

Mei Ling looked at this and that at a loss. He could no longer predict the direction of things. Mei Ting hugged her husband's shoulders distressedly. This was not the first time she saw Tang Qiuli like this. Every time

Her heart ached almost to pieces. Her husband was a man of temperament, and the safety of his loved ones was more important than her own life. She was willing to put all this on herself, but there was nothing she could do.

Mei Xue really wanted to let this man, who was obviously about to collapse, lean on her chest and give him comfort and encouragement, but she couldn't do anything. With her sister by his side, she could only look at it with distress, her expression different from Tang's.

Qiu Li is as pale.

Yu Deshui was even more anxious and was rubbing his hands in the room. He knew very well that this telegram had a blow to his teacher. The so-called "concern leads to chaos", not to mention that they were his biological parents. He hesitated for a long time at first, but later he felt that something was wrong.

The situation was so serious that I rushed to Mei's house overnight.

Tang Qiuli recovered a little. When he saw everyone like this, he felt that he had lost his temper. He forced a smile. This smile made Mei Xue heartbroken. "Mom and Dad, it's okay. There will always be a way. Don't worry about me!"

he said softly.

He saw Yu Deshui who was wandering around anxiously, "Director Yu, is there any other news?" Yu Deshui replied: "Commander, there is no news yet. The Japanese army in North China maintains its original posture. There is no news at the moment.

When the war broke out, Chairman Chiang evacuated the defenders of Shanghai, leaving only the troops of General Zhang Zhizhong to be responsible for the defense of the entire Shanghai."

After Yu Deshui finished speaking, the room fell silent again. He suddenly seemed to remember something, and then said: "One more thing, the pilots from the Jianqiao Central Aviation School will test-fly a Japanese aircraft at our Dingbian Airport tomorrow.

, the captain named Gao Zhihang invited the division commander to watch their flight."

Plane? Tang Qiuli seemed to have caught something, "Wait, is it Gao Zhihang and the others?" He asked. Yu Deshui was a little confused. Didn't he make it very clear? Could it be that the division commander was stimulated and his brain was temporarily out of focus?

Really? He repeated what he just said again, this time speaking more slowly and enunciating the words very clearly.

Tang Qiuli suddenly understood, and his mind suddenly became clear. Yes, planes were used to take his parents and fellow villagers to Dingbian. However, this was an extremely risky move, and he didn't know if the pilots at Jianqiao were willing to do so.

Don't want to take the risk and visit the Japanese hometown?

This is the only way to rescue his parents and fellow villagers. If you don't give it a try, how can you know the result? He became calm and confident again, with wisdom in hand, and his whole person glowed with a strong confidence. The Mei family was all affected by this.

The sudden change made me dumbfounded. I wonder what good idea my uncle has come up with? It's like he has changed.

He briefly stated his thoughts, and everyone was stunned. The old man murmured to himself, unbelievable, unbelievable! Tang Qiuli said to De Shui: "Director Yu, follow me to Dingbian Airport immediately."

Seeing Tang Qiuli disappear, the Mei family looked at each other uneasily. However, only two people believed that he would succeed, and that was Mei Ting and Mei Xue. These two sisters had almost blind confidence in Tang Qiuli, and

In addition to worship, Meiling is worship.

When they arrived at Dingbian Airport, the pilots from Jianqiao Aviation School had already rested. They would have a test flight tomorrow. When they heard that Vice Chairman Tang Wei Ye was visiting, they were all surprised, thinking that something big had happened. Otherwise, this powerful man

I wouldn't condescend to come here late at night to convene everyone for a meeting.

When they arrived at the conference room, they discovered that there were only Vice Chairman Tang and an unfamiliar colonel in the room. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't guess what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd?

When Tang Qiuli explained his purpose, the room fell silent. As a pilot, he knew the route to the northeast and its complications. There were many Japanese field airports along the way. This was no joke. Maybe, go

Not one of them could come back alive, not to mention that they had to pick up 400 people, so how many planes and how many fighter jets were needed to escort them.

Tang Qiuli also understood their mood. This was indeed too risky, but there was no other way. This was the only way out. He looked at everyone with a smile and said: "I understand everyone's mood, but I don't believe that the Chinese Air Force,

You can frighten a few broken planes of little devils and even dare not save people, don’t you think? Captain Gao!"

He figured out Gao Zhihang's character. He was a person who would never admit defeat. As the saying goes, "it is better to challenge a general than to provoke him." Sure enough, when Gao Zhihang heard Tang Qiuli's words, his eyebrows raised, "Vice Chairman Tang, what are you doing?"

If you say anything, my brothers in the Fourth Brigade and I have already risked our lives. Besides, I am also from the Northeast, how can I ignore death?"

"But, Vice Chairman Tang, you also know that airplanes are not infantry. They can fly and land anywhere. Brothers are not bear bags. It's okay to go around in the belly of a little devil, but you have to do it."

Only by finding a place for the plane to land can we pick up the people who need to be rescued, don’t you think?” Gao Zhihang’s words were very cheerful and told the actual situation.

At the beginning with Gao Zhihang as the captain, these young pilots, those who were willing to show weakness, were all vying to go. Tang Qiuli added fuel to the fire, "Brothers, please rest assured, I, Tang Qiuli, will not let you take risks alone.

I will take one of the planes and fly to Northeast China with you. For the sake of the relatives of our North China Army comrades, how can we let you face danger alone!"

Gao Zhihang and the others were so frightened that they took the deputy chairman of the Nationalist Government's Military Commission, the second-ranking figure, to the northeast by plane. If anything happened, these people would lose their heads. Even if they returned to Dingbian safely,

Even if the higher authorities find out, there will be no good fruit.

Gao Zhihang said: "Vice Chairman Tang, you are looking down on our brothers in the Air Force. Leave this matter to us. Don't worry, as long as we find an airport that can land, we will take off immediately, just in time to test the performance of the Japanese aircraft."

Why, I encountered some unlucky Japanese planes and knocked down a few of them. My hands are itchy!" Gao Zhihang's words infected the others and diluted the somewhat tense atmosphere.

The matter was settled in this way. Later, the thousand-mile rescue was called a great feat of the Chinese Air Force, and was regarded as a lifelong shameful risky flight by the Japanese Air Force.

Under Qiu Li's instigation, the new plan was released, which also established the preliminary scale of the ** division's future air force. Northeast China is no longer a restricted flight zone for the Chinese Air Force.
