"Could it be their company that did it?" This question piqued everyone's interest.

"We hailed on that frequency, but there was no response.

However, we've been listening to that frequency non-stop for twenty-four hours now!" Enlai reported.

"They were able to repel an attack of over 8,000 Japanese soldiers with just over 500 men, and eliminate more than 6,000 of them.

So, a team of over a hundred people, taking them by surprise, using tactics properly.

Forming a local advantage in troop strength, using the method of ants gnawing at an elephant, attacking an airport and eliminating the Japanese devils at the airport, is not impossible."

The atmosphere in the room was relaxed when discussing this matter.

At noon, due to the tense situation in Shanghai.

When the commanders of the British and American countries were eating at the Peace Hotel.

They inadvertently talked about the open code telegram sent by "my unit."

British Ambassador Gilbert Osmond said with some regret: "I don't know if the information on this telegram is true, or just a prank by those radio enthusiasts.

After all, it's a bit unbelievable to attack an airport guarded by two thousand soldiers."

U.S. Ambassador to China Nelson Johnson smiled: "It's very easy to find out if this intelligence is true."

Sir Gilbert Osmond laughed: "Sir! Let's make a bet. If you can produce concrete evidence within two hours to prove whether this is true or false.

I will give you the porcelain piece that you particularly liked yesterday."

Johnson also laughed: "In return, if I can't produce evidence within two hours.

I will host the knight here for a month."

The two happily reached a bet.

Nelson Johnson immediately called Admiral Yarnell, commander of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet.

As a seasoned diplomat, lies had long become a habit.

Johnson earnestly asked Commander Yarnell to send a plane to scout the situation at Hongqiao Airport and take pictures of the entire airport's current situation.

"Please send it to the Peace Hotel immediately, this is very important!

It concerns the interests of our country's existence in the East."

Commander Yarnell, who received the request, immediately passed on the order.

The seaplane parked next to his flagship, the Augusta cruiser, immediately took off.

Petty Nelson, as a Navy fighter pilot, watched the battles of the two armies on the shore every day.

Witnessing evil triumphing over justice step by step, the belief in his heart has been confused: God! What's wrong with this world?

After receiving the reconnaissance mission, Petty Nelson took off immediately.

The American plane flew straight towards Hongqiao, ignoring the Japanese planes performing search missions in the air.

Strutting to Hongqiao Airport.

This is not personal heroism, it is just the confidence of a country with strong national power.

Petty Nelson spent a few minutes flying to Hongqiao Airport and saw that the entire airport was unrecognizable.

It had completely turned into ruins, and only then did he realize that this place had really been heavily bombed.

At this time, the fire at the airport's oil depot had been extinguished, but there were still some sparks left, and some places were still emitting black smoke.

Petty Nelson circled over the airport at ultra-low altitude, constantly photographing the current state of the entire airport.

From the time his plane flew into the airspace of Shanghai, two Japanese fighter planes were flying alongside him.

Petty Nelson ignored this threatening escort.

He circled the airport five times before returning to report.

When Petty Nelson was circling the airport, more and more Japanese planes were escorting him.

At most, there were six Japanese fighter planes surrounding Petty Nelson's plane from all directions.

Even so, not a single Japanese fighter plane fired.

And when Petty Nelson was circling the airport, there were two times when he almost collided with Japanese fighter planes, and both times the Japanese fighter planes urgently gave way.

No matter what, strength determines concentration!

When Sir Gilbert Osmond saw the photos taken by Nelson, these photos had just been developed.

Still warm.

As for the time, it had been less than an hour and a half since the two made the bet.

He looked carefully at the thick stack of photos in his hand: "Who would do this?"

"My unit!" Johnson smiled.

Sir Gilbert Osmond looked at him in surprise: "You?"

Seeing that his humor had caused a misunderstanding.

This was completely casting amorous glances at a blind man.

Johnson quickly explained: "Didn't the telegram say it: my unit!

This 'my unit' is not our Marine Corps.

First of all, we don't need to risk joining the current war.

After all, as long as it doesn't harm our immediate interests, those congressmen in Congress will not allow us to interfere in this war.

And they have no intention of interfering in this war.

The other thing is: for an airport guarded by two thousand Japanese soldiers, even if we attack with all our strength, we must cooperate with the air force, artillery, and army.

At least twice the strength is needed to occupy it overnight."

Sir Gilbert Osmond sat firmly in his chair again, he had reacted:

"The facts must be like this.

Could this attack have been carried out by the National Army?"

"That's impossible! According to the combat effectiveness of the National Army, it is impossible to eliminate two thousand Japanese soldiers without a force of ten thousand people.

I admire their will to fight, but war cannot be won with will alone.

Of course, it is even more impossible without will."

The two diplomats had a friendly bet and chat, and they didn't avoid the waiter in the room at all.

The two diplomats spoke easily and chatted happily.

The waitress listening to their conversation changed her expression constantly. When she heard them talk about more than two thousand Japanese devils dying at Hongqiao Airport and hundreds of planes,

Her face clearly showed a blush, which was excitement.

Sir Gilbert Osmond very gentlemanly picked out two photos: "Beautiful lady, you are very interested in our conversation.

I also deeply sympathize with the misfortunes your country has encountered.

These two photos are for you."

Xun Xiuyun never thought that she would have such good luck.

To be able to receive a gift from a British knight.

She took the two photos with trembling hands and said gratefully: "Sir! Thank you very much for your gift."

Johnson just watched Sir Gilbert Osmond give away these photos as gifts.

Sir Gilbert Osmond said with a smile: "They need some encouragement."

As soon as the two gentlemen walked out of the Peace Hotel, the photos in Xun Xiuyun's hand immediately spread among the waiters in the entire hotel.

They looked at the wreckage of planes and the ruins of airport buildings in the photos.

Everyone talked eloquently.

More than two months of continuous warfare had long made these ordinary Shanghai people see what the ruins after the bombing looked like.

These ordinary people don't know about the two telegrams sent by "my unit."

But it doesn't prevent them from being excited when they see the Japanese devils' planes turned into wreckage.

The discussions among these waiters were so intense that they finally attracted the attention of a diner eating here.

He took the photo and only glanced at it before smiling and saying casually:

"This is good news! Miss, I'll pay five yuan to let me have these two photos."

As he spoke, the gentleman took out five legal tender notes from his wallet.

Five legal tender notes was equivalent to half a month's salary for Xun Xiuyun.

She immediately agreed.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Fan had already woken up all the soldiers in the company and ordered everyone to eat dry food and open canned food.

Although the Ji family was also a local tycoon, they had not yet become so extravagant as to eat canned meat at will.

It's not that they couldn't afford it, but that they didn't have such a way of eating.

Now Ji Guochou has fallen in love with eating these canned goods.

He can eat two cans of meat at a time, and these two cans weigh more than a pound, almost two pounds.

The soldiers of the entire special company were actually similar to Ji Guochou.

They had never been like this before: the commander ordered everyone to eat more meat and more dry food.

Lin Fan especially targeted Ji Wudi and Ji Guohen, the two girls who originally only planned to eat one can of meat. Da Feng Novel

There is a kind of hunger that the company commander thinks you are hungry: Lin Fan now felt that the two of them were not full.

He forced them to finish another can of net meat before he felt relieved.

Lin Fan kept emphasizing to these soldiers: the ability to eat is combat effectiveness.

It was noon, and the entire company was not allowed to light a fire.

At noon, everyone used dry food and canned meat to deal with it.

Lin Fan especially emphasized: everyone must eat their fill.

The troop's ability to eat is directly proportional to its combat effectiveness.

After lunch, the entire company began to enter wartime training subjects.

Lin Fan no longer expected that his special company would be able to have a special training ground and time like in later generations.

He couldn't find a quiet piece of land in Shanghai in this era to calm down and train a special force.

Now what he can do is to combine the daily training of this team with combat.

Train in the breaks between battles! Immediately go to the battlefield to test after training.

Lin Fan knew that putting soldiers who were not fully trained into the battlefield.

Was irresponsible to these soldiers, but he really didn't have a better way.

Who told him that he got them first when he arrived in this world?

In the afternoon, the soldiers of the special company first wiped and maintained their weapons.

Weapons at any time, on the surface, look rough, durable and wear-resistant.

In fact, weapons in any period are particularly stingy things.

If it is a weapon after combat, it will start to rust on the surface in two hours in hot weather.

After seven or eight hours, it will start to corrode deeper.

Lin Fan had personally experienced this kind of experience when he was training in the army.

If a gun has sweat on it, and a sweaty hand grabs the barrel, after lunch, when you go back in the afternoon, you can see a layer of floating rust on the surface of the barrel.

Therefore, every time you touch the metal surface of a gun with your hands, you must wipe those metal surfaces with a rag.

If the inside of the barrel is not wiped immediately after shooting, the gunpowder residue in the barrel will begin to corrode the rifling after ten hours.

While wiping the weapon, Liu Laopao asked: "Company commander! It's already November, can the weapon disassembly and assembly competition start again?"

He still misses the mobile red flag!

Lin Fan said with a smile: "The last competition was in the last ten days of the month, and this month's competition will also be arranged in the last ten days.

Liu Laopao, if you want to grab the first place, you have to practice more usually.

At the same time, you should also train the experts in your class, the more people, the more security!"

Liu Laopao laughed loudly: "This time I have two guarantees.

My apprentice will definitely get the first place."

The apprentice he was talking about was Ji Guochou!

Hearing his master talking about him, Ji Guochou just sped up the disassembly of the weapon in his hand.

He really wanted to win a first place and show his face in this company.

Of course, the training in the afternoon was not just wiping and maintenance, but also training aiming.

This was the first time that the three Ji siblings had received formal training.

What was Lin Fan able to rely on to bring together these originally fragmented soldiers? Of course, it was his marksmanship that hit every shot.

As for Lin Fan's ability and level of commanding operations, these soldiers could not appreciate it for the time being.

The soldiers on the special side didn't know that compared to Lin Fan's level of commanding combat, his marksmanship was not worth mentioning at all.

Coming from the training of military academies in later generations, at least in theory, Lin Fan's art of combat command is the most complete in this period.

As for actual combat, the art of war command, actual combat is the standard for testing everything.

Of course, now Lin Fan is willing to teach all the soldiers marksmanship, and every soldier in the special company is ecstatic.

In this troubled world, with the company commander's marksmanship, the world is so big, you can go anywhere!

All the soldiers in the company were aiming at the distant target under Lin Fan's guidance.

This is a boring job, and in order to prolong the service life of the gun, Lin Fan also specifically stipulated: no firing is allowed.

At any time, firing an empty chamber is the most damaging to the firing pin.

This is also why a rubber primer training bullet must be installed in the chamber during training.

It is to protect the firing pin.

Everyone just aimed at the small target in the distance so boringly.

The current level of ability of all the soldiers in the special company.

In Lin Fan's eyes, it is still in the stage of a new recruit for two months.

All he can let them do is only the most basic of the basics.

The basic operation of aiming at the brick falling in front of the barrel has not yet been used by Lin Fan for these soldiers.

This is the next stage of the exercise subject.

For these soldiers under his command, now let them stand up straight and aim for ten minutes, and less than five people in the entire company can persist without shaking their hands or moving their guns.

In order not to alarm the Japanese reconnaissance planes that were constantly passing by in the air, Lin Fan taught the entire special company soldiers in-situ training.

Practice aiming for half an hour.

Next are push-ups and squats!

These are all in-situ training, and Lin Fan dare not train these soldiers too hard.

After all, the soldiers still have tasks in the evening.

Several training subjects, mixed practice.

Lin Fan has already made a decision about the next destination of the team: he wants to turn back and fight another battle inside the Japanese devils.

He wants to be a monkey and stir up the Japanese devils' belly upside down.

He wants to destroy the Japanese devils' airport.

Lin Fan didn't know whether the two telegrams he sent could work.

But he knew that if history developed according to its original trajectory, the National Army's retreat would turn into a rout.

In such a rout, the Japanese devils' planes played a decisive role.

Now he wants to destroy as many of the Japanese devils' planes as possible.

Now that Hongqiao Airport has been destroyed, Lin Fan is not very familiar with Shanghai, whether in his previous life or this life.

Fortunately, there is Li Xian, the know-it-all, in the city.

Hearing Lin Fan inquire about the remaining Japanese airports in Shanghai, Li Xian pointed to the map in Lin Fan's hand: there is a Japanese airport in Longhua.

It's just that Longhua Airport is surrounded by Japanese people. If you want to blow up the Japanese devils' airport, you will be completely surrounded by Japanese expatriates.

Lin Fan has a sober understanding of the Japanese people. It is true that there are anti-war people among them.

But Lin Fan doesn't believe that the ordinary Japanese expatriates he encounters when he bombs their airport will all be anti-war people.

Among those Japanese expatriates who discovered his company, as long as a few ran out to report, his small team would probably not be able to break out of the siege on the spot.

From this location to Longhua, it is all in the Japanese-controlled area.

And the area around Longhua Airport is already a Japanese concession, with many houses and many people's eyes and ears. This place is not easy to deal with!

Lin Fan suggested: change the target.

Li Xian pointed out another place for Lin Fan: Shanghai Racecourse.

"Since the beginning of the war, after the Japanese devils occupied this place, they turned the racecourse into an airport."

Hearing that it was a newly built airport, Lin Fan became interested: "Are there many people around?"

Li Xian organized his words: "There used to be many people there, but now all the people there have fled into the concession to take refuge.

There are few people, and that place has always been the focus of contention between the two sides, so there should be no people."

Lin Fan heard that it was the focus of contention between the two sides: "Are there still National Army troops there?"

"I don't know if there are any now. If you can find a phone, you can ask the colleagues at the newspaper." Li Xian thought for a while before speaking.

Lin Fan smiled: "I'm just curious, since they are in the same location, why didn't the National Army blow up that airport.

There is no other meaning.

We will attack this airport!"

At this time, Lin Fan still overestimated the combat effectiveness of the troops of this era.

In his eyes, the two sides were only a hundred meters apart, and the airport was only ten miles away, at most twenty or thirty miles away.

A shelling would be enough to make the entire airport disappear.

This was in the 1930s, and there were countries in the world that had this ability, but it did not include his own.

Lin Fan began to think about how to march in the Japanese devils' area. The entire special company was now carrying a lot of supplies. How could they pass under the noses of the Japanese devils?
