Chapter 364 Starting from Duolun
Toronto Airport
Originally, this was just a small airport, not many people paid attention to it, and there might not be more than two planes taking off and landing in a month. Who knew that Marshal He would call everyone here today? No one knew what had happened, but it was definitely not a small matter.
"What's wrong with our Marshal? A few days ago, he was trying to resist the 72nd Division's advance northward. After all, if those people come, our Marshal won't have a peaceful life anymore. Why did he let their plane land today?"
A ground crew soldier said in surprise that he was carrying a refueling hose on his body. He hadn't used this thing for a long time. Fortunately, he checked it just now and it was fine.
"You know nothing, kid. This is a different time. Look at the newspapers. They all say that the cavalry of the foreign Xiongnu is coming. Our Marshal He is also a man of honor. The 72nd Division wants to kill those cavalry of the foreign Xiongnu. You have an airport here and you don't let them use it. Then you are either a traitor or a traitor."
Another older soldier said disdainfully that in his opinion, these young soldiers were just soldiers and didn't use their brains at all.
"But what if they come and don't leave? Even though the 29th Army has provided a guarantee, can the 72nd Division recognize the 29th Army's guarantee?"
The young soldiers thought of another thing. They were local warlords. Although Chahar was under the control of Japan, Duolun was still their world.
"I tell you, you have a brain like a pig. Can't you see? Just to help, can you find all of us? I've never seen this kind of situation before. Since the establishment of the airport, the only time we've had the most complete one is now. Our Marshal isn't here to help, he's here to surrender."
The older soldier smacked his lips.
If you still can't see this situation, you have lived in vain all these years.
"How is that possible? Whether it was the Japanese or the 29th Army, so many people came at the beginning, all trying to make our Marshal obey them, but weren't they all driven away? The 72nd Division has never even met us. Do you think our Marshal can surrender to them?"
The young soldier didn't believe it, because he knew his commander-in-chief's temper. He was used to being free and undisciplined, so how could he find a retired emperor for himself?
"Your head is simply stuck on your ass. What can the 29th Army and the Japanese do to us? They can't do anything except talk. But what about the 72nd Division? How far away are they from us? Haven't you heard of a long-distance raid of hundreds of miles to wipe out an entire Japanese infantry regiment?"
The veteran went up and kicked him. He had been in the army for so long, but his brain was still dull. What had he learned from me?
"Our fighting power is only about the same as a Japanese infantry regiment, maybe even worse. If we upset Commander Li, we'll be wiped out in one night. Why would he even need to borrow from us? What's more, the Russians in the north are unstable, and this place will soon be a troubled place. Commander He also understands that since we can't hold on, we might as well sell ourselves for a high price."
The veteran looked at the recruit who was covering his buttocks and explained to some extent that it was normal for him to not be able to make correct judgments after staying in such a remote place for a long time and not knowing what was happening in the world.
The recruits nodded, not quite understanding, but they were still a little unconvinced. After all, they knew how much their commander cherished this piece of land.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't just stand there, the plane will arrive in ten minutes."
Just as the two were talking, their company commander spoke loudly in the distance.
"Why are you here so quickly? Shouldn't you go find those Outer Xiongnu people first?"
The veteran looked at the sun and saw that it was an hour earlier than the originally scheduled time.
"They've changed their strategy. They'll fly over from Chengde first, unload some fuel, and then wait for their fighter jets to arrive. They'll refuel here before heading north. This way, they can stay in the air longer."
The company commander's explanation made them understand that the original combat plan was to take off from Chengde, then search for the troops that had crossed the border in the north, and then land in Duolun when the fuel ran out.
But now we can just fly over Duolun, refuel after landing, and then search for the troops that crossed the border. This will take even longer.
Just using transport planes to transport fuel? Don't you know how much it would cost?
Of course, there is nothing that can be done about it. Others may not know the situation at the airport, but the veterans and the company commander do. Even though there are several oil depots around, there must be several rats starving to death inside. It has been empty for who knows how many years.
The airport now has enough fuel stored to fill up two planes, and that's all luck.
Just as a few people were talking, a large iron bird appeared in the distant sky. The roar of the plane stunned the ground crew below. They had seen planes during training, but they had never seen so many planes. There were more than a dozen planes circling in the sky.
After receiving the landing signal, the first plane to arrive dived at a large angle, then made a hard contact with the ground, and then quickly slid to the tail end of the runway. The second plane also landed smoothly.
The local soldiers were shocked. Your landing frequency is too high. The second plane has already touched the runway before the first plane has even left. We only have one runway here, and we have never seen such a queue landing.
"Hurry, hurry, help us unload the oil."
While the veteran and several of his men were still stunned, the cabin door of an airplane had already opened, and inside were all iron fuel tanks filled with 4.5 tons of fuel.
"Your mother really was flown in by plane..."
The old soldier muttered something and quickly took his men to help. They were all square iron buckets, each weighing about 40 kilograms.
These guys are really brave, lined up neatly in the cabin.
The two pilots did not unload the cargo. Instead, they grabbed four fuel drums, ran quickly to the aircraft's refueling port, and refueled them. They transported a total of 4.5 tons of fuel, but half of it was fuel for their return trip, so one aircraft could only unload two and a half tons of fuel.
Everyone at Duolun Airport also saw that the people of the 72nd Division were really heroic.
The cost of four tons of fuel for the round trip is just to drop two and a half tons of fuel here for the fighter jets.
You guys are awesome!
You guys are awesome!
Subsequent planes landed quickly, and almost all the people who could help at the airport came over, forming more than a dozen conveyor belts to quickly help the planes unload fuel.
When the plane was halfway down, a dozen fighter jets arrived in the sky. Fortunately, there was plenty of space at this airport; the airport in Jinling might not be able to accommodate them...
