The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 255 Bombing the Japanese Fleet, Jurong Reorganization

Xiao Jianying drove the bomber all the way back to Guangde.

This time, Lin Fan did not let He Haiqing and Zhu Qingmao take over on the way.

When landing, Lin Fan had to do it himself.

All three students watched Lin Fan's operation carefully.

Lin Fan explained while operating: Fly over the airport and wait for tower control.

Now the Guangde Airport tower is unattended, with no one to give instructions at all!

Lin Fan continued to explain: Align with the runway to reduce altitude and speed.

After a while, the landing gear touched the ground.

Continue to reduce speed!

Under Lin Fan's operation, the plane slowly taxied into the apron.

After getting off the plane, Feng Junya rushed up: "Company Commander! You're back!"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Safe!"

He was able to remain calm, but the three students who had flown a circle to Hangzhou with him were not calm at all.

They began to tell the brothers who came to greet them: They had just flown to Hangzhou and caught the Japanese by surprise, not only destroying more than a dozen Japanese tanks, but also disrupting the Japanese infantry's attack rhythm.

Most importantly, they also blew up seven Japanese warships.

It was a pity that they didn't know if those warships had sunk.

The Japanese warships did sink! But the Special Company soldiers wouldn't know that for the time being.

Commander Tsunehkawa Naoya now had time to think about how to find that damned plane.

The plane came from the shore and went back to the shore.

Of course, he could only turn to Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army Corps.

Lieutenant General Yanagawa, who was already furious, heard that the flagship of the fleet on Hangzhou Bay had been blown with two large holes by a bomber.

Completely losing its combat effectiveness, and another six warships were sunk.

Suddenly, he felt balanced again.

As for where the plane came from?

Of course, he didn't know!

Although he vaguely suspected that it might be a batch of planes captured by the Nationalists from Guangde Airport.

Then the Nationalists used those planes to carry out a sneak attack.

But Lieutenant General Yanagawa would never say such suspicions out loud.

Today, the attack on Hangzhou by his troops was disrupted by the suddenly appearing bomber.

It also reminded the Japanese in the 10th Army headquarters that the Nationalists still had the strength to fight back.

Why did the front lines have their entire attack rhythm disrupted by a single plane?

The staff officers of Lieutenant General Yanagawa's headquarters were already analyzing it nervously.

Half an hour later, looking at the analysis results: 1. A flying squadron that was originally scheduled to attack Hangzhou was urgently transferred to Guangde to provide support.

As a result, there were no fighter planes maintaining an offensive posture on the front lines for a period of time.

That bomber took advantage of this time to rush over.

2. There was a sense of arrogance and complacency within the Japanese army, believing that the entire sky belonged to the empire.

They paid very little attention to air defense.

From top to bottom, there was no awareness of air defense, and there were no air defense weapons in the frontline combat infantry units.

This allowed that bomber to achieve such results.

Since learning that the navy had lost six warships, Lieutenant General Yanagawa no longer cared much about the losses of his own troops.

The worst thing in the world is comparison!

When someone who has been punched ten times sees someone else being punched a hundred times.

They will immediately feel much happier.

Yanagawa Heisuke was now like that: Although his troops had lost some soldiers and twelve tanks.

But the navy had lost six warships, and another heavy cruiser had sunk.

Such losses were more than ten times higher than those of the army.

And the naval warships were very well-equipped with air defense equipment.

With such a comparison, the navy's incompetence and stupidity were even more apparent.

As long as he could prove the navy's incompetence and stupidity, Lieutenant General Yanagawa didn't mind the 18th Division suffering even greater damage.

Although he could think that way, it didn't mean that Lieutenant General Yanagawa could tolerate such arrogance from the Nationalists.

He issued a new order: "Organize the offensive on Hangzhou at all costs.

Strengthen the offensive against Hangzhou!

I want the soldiers to use the greatest sacrifice and the greatest courage.

To ensure that the empire occupies Hangzhou as quickly as possible."

Originally, the operational plan formulated by the headquarters of the Japanese 10th Army was to use a method of gradual advance.

To minimize casualties.

Now Lieutenant General Yanagawa wanted to prove the navy's incompetence, and he needed to take Hangzhou as soon as possible to prove this.

Since the commander had made a request, Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadaharu of the 18th Division could only execute it.

In order to achieve the goal of quickly occupying Hangzhou, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, commander of the 10th Army Corps, applied to General Matsui Iwane, commander of the Central China Army, for more than a hundred planes to assist in the attack.

With such preparations, the 18th Division was also urgently revising its plan to attack Hangzhou.

The Wuhan direction knew that the Special Company of the 83rd Army, the 66th Army, and the 88th Army had occupied Guangde.

And they had also captured seventeen enemy planes at Guangde Airport. Such a great victory would have been immediately reported to Chiang Kai-shek for his personal review in the past.

Now it was no longer necessary, because Chiang Kai-shek didn't like seeing battles involving the Special Company.

Although such results could not be reported to the highest level, the two transport aircraft crews needed by the 83rd and 66th Armies could be dispatched.

Chen Cheng personally arranged for the Air Force Commander to select two of the most reliable crews to send to Guangde.

The transport of these two crews was still done by the same transport plane that had delivered the telegraph operators a few days ago.

The pilot was still Hang Xingde, and he was still escorted by Andrei and his five combat teams.

This time, because Guangde Airport had been recovered, and after receiving news that the airport had fuel replenishment.

Andrei and the others were now flying I-15 fighters imported from the Soviet Union.

This fighter had a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 500 kilometers.

Flying from Wuhan to Guangde was almost its maximum range.

When they took off, they notified Army Commander Ye Zhao of the 60th Army.

Army Commander Ye Zhao quickly told Army Commander Deng Longguang the good news.

The two of them wanted to share the good news with Lin Fan, but they couldn't find him.

In Guangde City, they only found Platoon Leader Chen Sichuan.

Chen Sichuan immediately called Feng Junya at the airport.

Army Commander Ye Zhao and Army Commander Deng Longguang were already riding their warhorses towards the airport.

After Lin Fan landed safely, Feng Junya immediately reported to Lin Fan that a flight team from Wuhan was coming over.

Lin Fan heard that six planes were going to land in Guangde this time, and that pilots from two flight crews would also be sent.

He immediately thought of the saying: The boyfriend is getting married, but the bride isn't me!

When he needed pilots the most, the pilots came, but they weren't sent to him.

No matter how envious and jealous he felt, Lin Fan could only suppress this unpleasant mood:

You are all poaching from everywhere, I will train them myself.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately sent a telegram to Li Xian in Jurong: First, he told him the good news that he had occupied Guangde and captured eighteen planes.

He then assigned Li Xian a new task: to hold a meeting of all officers above platoon leader level in the company tonight.

Li Xian would notify the Special Company leaders in Jurong, Chunhua, Moling, Tangshan, Tianwangsi, and Lishui.

The remaining First, Second, Third, and Fourth Platoons, and the two newly joined regiments, would all be flown back to Jurong by Lin Fan to attend the meeting.

When Li Xian heard that Lin Fan was going to fly back to attend the meeting, he immediately understood: Lin Fan was going to reorganize the Special Company.

After reading the telegram, Li Xian immediately ordered the messengers to set off: Notify Regiment Commander Ding Zimin of Moling City;

Notify Regiment Commander Wu Yuan of Tianwangsi;

Notify Platoon Leader Li Daren of the Seventh Platoon of Tangshan;

Notify Platoon Leader Zhen Danxiao of the Fifth Platoon of Chunhua;

Notify Dean Ji Wudi of the Jurong Field Hospital;

Notify Platoon Leader Hui Jianming of the Ninth Platoon of Jurong;

Notify Platoon Leader Ye Dadan of the Sixth Platoon of Jurong;

Notify Platoon Leader Li Zhize of the Tenth Platoon of Lishui to attend a meeting in Jurong at eight o'clock tonight.

Lin Fan also ordered Chen Sichuan here: Notify all platoon leaders to gather at Guangde Airport at six o'clock this afternoon to fly back to Jurong for a meeting.

In Guangde, there was Platoon Leader Chen Sichuan of the First Platoon, Platoon Leader Liu Laopao of the Second Platoon, Platoon Leader Jia Shusheng of the Third Platoon, Platoon Leader Xiao Dongbei of the Fourth Platoon, and Platoon Leader Feng Junya of the Eighth Platoon.

There were also Regiment Commander Shang Wenxuan and Regiment Commander Shangguan Zhiwen, who had just joined the Special Company.

Originally, Lin Fan had also wanted to bring all the squad leaders back to the meeting.

But thinking that the current situation was not optimistic, if all the leaders in each county town were concentrated back for a meeting.

Wouldn't it be a mistake if something happened?

That's why he decided that all the platoon leaders would attend the meeting, and the spirit of the meeting would be conveyed back by the leaders who attended the meeting.

After Lin Fan had negotiated the deal to exchange two transport planes for two regiments with the 83rd and 66th Armies.

He hadn't even met the two regimental commanders yet.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately prepared to go and see his two regiments.

He had this idea, but before he could set off.

He heard a report: Army Commander Deng Longguang of the 83rd Army and Army Commander Ye Zhao of the 66th Army had arrived.

Lin Fan immediately invited the two army commanders in.

A group of officers also came in with the two army commanders.

Army Commander Deng Longguang said with a smile, "This is Company Commander Lin! I think you all know him.

It's easy for the public to recognize a hero, but it's difficult for a hero to recognize everyone!

You should all introduce yourselves."

Army Commander Ye Zhao smiled and stood aside, watching the officers of the 83rd Army introduce themselves, since Deng Longguang had taken the lead.

A lieutenant colonel stood out and gave Lin Fan a solemn military salute: "Subordinate Shangguan Zhiwen reporting to Company Commander Lin!"

Lin Fan immediately understood: "This is the regimental commander who was exchanged."

His face immediately showed the kindest smile, and he returned the salute in the same way, before warmly extending his hands.

He shook Shangguan Zhiwen's hand tightly: "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives!

I was just about to go to Guangde to meet Regimental Commander Shangguan and Regimental Commander Shang Wenxuan.

I didn't expect Regimental Commander Shangguan to come so quickly.

Welcome! Welcome!"

Army Commander Ye Zhao said with a smile, "Regimental Commander Shang is here too."

Another lieutenant colonel stood out: "Shang Wenxuan reporting to Company Commander!"

Lin Fan also shook his hand tightly with both hands: "It is an honor to have both regimental commanders join my Special Company at this time.

Lin Fan is extremely grateful, although it is the duty of soldiers to defend their country.

But for both of you to join our army when our troops are weak and small.

Neither I nor our organization will forget this scene today.

Rest assured, both regimental commanders! What other troops in my Special Company have, you will also have.

Everything that other regimental commanders have, you will also have."

He looked at the majors, captains, lieutenants, and second lieutenants standing behind the two regimental commanders.

He said with a smile, "Both regimental commanders, these are all your capable officers, right!

Introduce them one by one.

Regimental Commander Shangguan spoke first, so Regimental Commander Shangguan will go first."

Shangguan Zhiwen quickly stood out and introduced: "This is Chief of Staff Yan Kangle;

This is Battalion Commander Yang Wenguang of the First Battalion, and Deputy Battalion Commander Guo Feihong;

Second Battalion:..."

This time, the officers above the entire regiment of Shangguan Zhiwen followed Army Commander Deng Longguang here.

His regiment had a total of ten companies, twenty company-level officers, divided into three battalions, with three companies in each battalion, and a directly subordinate company in the regimental headquarters.

Lin Fan shook hands with each officer cordially.

Next, Regimental Commander Shang Wenxuan also introduced the officers he brought one by one.

They had all agreed to bring all the officers above the company level.

This was also because Army Commander Deng Longguang of the 83rd Army and Army Commander Ye Zhao of the 66th Army wanted to get along with Lin Fan and specially brought the officers over first.

Let them get to know each other first and connect with each other.

Both army commanders were old and shrewd, and of course they could see Lin Fan's ability.

It was just that both of them were now important figures in one area.

Although they tried their best to get along with Lin Fan, they had not yet been able to lower themselves to work under Lin Fan.

But sending some of their subordinates over was also a way to build a good relationship.

No matter how the situation develops in the future, having such a relationship could still play a role.

Lin Fan got to know all the officers of the two regiments.

Then he smiled and said to the two army commanders, "I have neglected the two army commanders.

How about I treat the two army commanders to dinner here tonight?"

Army Commander Deng Longguang said with a smile, "If you don't invite us to Guangde City, it's obvious that you're not sincere!"

Army Commander Ye Zhao also smiled: "We are not here for dinner, we are here to pick up the planes."

Lin Fan only knew that there were planes sending pilots over, and when he heard him say that, he quickly asked, "Are important people coming?"

Army Commander Ye Zhao explained: "No! I'm here to pick up my crew members.

Then let them carefully check the planes to see if they can be used."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "They should all be usable.

To be honest, I have test-driven two planes today.

Those two, their performance is not bad."

Army Commander Deng Longguang also smiled: "We saw you flying a fighter plane in the east of Guangde.

It's just that we didn't know it was you at the time. I was wondering why there was only one plane flying alone?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Wasn't I just trying it out?

That fighter plane is not bad. I just flew it into the sky and captured a Japanese plane.

The one parked on the far side needs to be repaired.

It was damaged by me in the sky.

The Japanese pilot had to make an emergency landing.

We captured this plane.

You two want to go to Ningguo, right!

I didn't go to Ningguo just now, but I went to Hangzhou.

The Japanese there are organizing heavy troops to attack Hangzhou."

Army Commander Ye Zhao immediately asked, "How is the situation?"

He and Deng Longguang did want to go to Ningguo today to report to Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone.

At the same time, they also wanted to coordinate some matters regarding their two armies entering Ningguo from Guangde.

But when he heard that Hangzhou was at war, he cared about the battle situation far more than he cared about Ningguo.

Lin Fan shook his head: "The situation I saw is not good!

Although our sudden appearance temporarily helped the defending troops to destroy the Japanese tanks.

And repelled their infantry attack.

And we also bombed the Japanese fleet anchored in Hangzhou Bay.

But this is only a drop in the bucket.

It still can't stop the Japanese from continuing to attack."

Lin Fan didn't say much, but the amount of information was particularly large.

Army Commander Deng Longguang and Army Commander Ye Zhao saw a plane flying alone over Guangde today.

Although they had some guesses, they were not sure.

Now that they heard Lin Fan admit it himself.

For a time, they also had the feeling of the Special Company soldiers: Is there anything Company Commander Lin can't do?

Can he give birth to children?

Regimental Commander Shangguan Zhiwen, Regimental Commander Shang Wenxuan, and the officers under them.

They had just joined the Special Company.

The Guangde Airport was occupied by the Special Company, and they had captured planes. All the officers knew this.

But they didn't know that Lin Fan had already flown out to participate in the battle.

Army Commander Ye Zhao asked, "How many Japanese warships did you blow up?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "The main thing was to try to sink its "Aoba" heavy cruiser.

Unfortunately, its skin was too thick, so it was probably heavily damaged.

And I blew up six smaller warships.

I was afraid of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns and their fighter planes coming over.

I bombed them and ran away, and I didn't dare to look back to see the results."

The two army commanders laughed: They didn't think Lin Fan's running away was a cowardly act.

The officers of the two regiments who had just joined the Special Company also didn't think that Lin Fan was showing cowardice at all.

Someone who could rush into the Japanese fleet alone to bomb them couldn't do it without the fearless spirit of "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go."

While they were chatting, the roar of plane engines came from the air.

Lin Fan immediately rushed out and climbed to the anti-aircraft gun position, ready to fight.

In this situation, although they knew it might be a Nationalist plane, Lin Fan and everyone present did not dare to take it lightly.

Soon everyone saw: It was a Nationalist plane.

After all six planes had stopped safely.

Seeing that the pilots coming down from the planes were all acquaintances, Lin Fan greeted them with a smile.

"Andrei, Yevgeny, Grigory, Leonid, Yekaterina, Hang Xingde, welcome to Guangde."

Andrei rushed up excitedly and gave Lin Fan a big hug: "Company Commander Lin! As you say: A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes.

We've only been separated for less than ten days, and you've captured so many planes.

Amazing, really amazing."

Lin Fan put on a sad face: "Andrei, my friend!

Now that I have planes, I also have new troubles.

I don't have pilots, I don't have mechanics.

These planes can't play the role they should have."

Lin Fan renewed his friendship with Andrei and the others, and more than twenty Nationalist soldiers had gotten off the transport plane on Hang Xingde's side.

They were communicating with Army Commander Deng Longguang and Army Commander Ye Zhao.

Andrei said with a smile, "Dear Company Commander Lin, is there anything you want me to help with?"

Lin Fan quickly said, "Help me train a group of pilots and mechanics here."

Andrei thought for a while: "What kind of pilots do you want?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Pilots who can take off and land."

"Such pilots, ten days is enough," Andrei said with a smile.

Lin Fan quickly settled it: "My friend, why don't you stay here for ten days?"

Andrei hesitated: "Company Commander Lin! Our actions have to be approved by the higher-ups."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Friends! You have been fighting for so long, and you can also have a pleasant vacation.

I would like to invite you to relax in Guangde for ten days.

We recently captured some watches and gold from the Japanese.

I feel they are very suitable for the five of you."

Andrei immediately became interested: "We can also discuss this vacation."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "The reward for training a pilot is fifty taels of gold.

I want thirty pilots.

The introduction fee for introducing a mechanic is ten taels of gold, and I want thirty mechanics.

My friend, what do you think?"

Captain Andrei considered for a while: "We can train pilots.

It's not that I don't want to introduce mechanics, but I can't do it.

The procedures for mechanics from the country to come here are very strict."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Having thirty pilots will help me a lot.

I will find the mechanics separately."

Army Commander Ye Zhao waved to Lin Fan, and when Lin Fan walked over.

He asked Lin Fan, "Which plane is mine?"

Army Commander Deng Longguang's eyes were also very eager.

Lin Fan pointed to two of the three transport planes with a smile: "This one belongs to Army Commander Ye Zhao, and this one belongs to Army Commander Deng Longguang."

Hearing the assignment, the two teams of crew members immediately walked towards the planes separately.

They carefully checked the planes.

Xiao Jianying, He Haiqing, and Zhu Qingmao all led a group of soldiers, closely following the two teams.

Carefully staring at their every move.

They wanted to learn from them.

Andrei and the others had completed their mission by sending these two crews to Guangde.

According to the mission order, they now needed to fly back to Wuhan immediately.

And their five fighter planes all needed to be refueled.

The Special Company soldiers enthusiastically pushed the five fighter planes to the oil depot.

Andrei had just discussed it with several members of his team.

He walked over and said seriously to Lin Fan, "Company Commander Lin! You choose the students.

We will come over for vacation as soon as possible."

Lin Fan nodded with a smile: "Then I will be waiting."

Captain Hang Xingde paid attention to the planes on the airport. When he saw the plane that Lin Fan had flown out this afternoon, he asked strangely:

"Why is there a tiger painted on the belly of this plane?"

Lin Fan explained with a smile, "This plane is exactly the same as the Japanese plane from the inside out.

Paint a tiger to show the difference!"

Captain Hang Xingde wrote it down.

He was especially grateful to Lin Fan when he was in Jurong last time.

Lin Fan had saved his life that time.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape the pursuit of the Japanese fighter planes with the transport plane he was flying.

Now, seeing that Lin Fan had led his troops to Guangde in less than ten days.

And he had captured so many planes.

He had also just heard that Lin Fan needed a mechanic.

In order to thank Lin Fan, he thought about it and finally said, "Company Commander Lin! Do you especially need a mechanic?"

Lin Fan nodded immediately: "We can train a group of pilots urgently.

Mechanics like this can't be trained in a few days.

So we especially need them!"

"Company Commander Lin! There are many such talents gathered in Wuhan and Chongqing now.

If you need them, you can recruit some in these two places."

Recruiting meant spending money.

Lin Fan immediately understood: "Captain Hang, you know people well. Do you have any acquaintances to introduce?

Don't worry, the treatment for those who come over will definitely be generous.

In addition, you will also get a ten-tael gold referral fee for introducing a mechanic.

We need thirty skilled mechanics, and we can also invite the families of these mechanics over."

Hang Xingde smiled wryly: "Guangde is now in the Japanese hinterland, and probably no one is willing to bring their families over.

They are only coming here for money."

Lin Fan immediately said, "Understood! Understood! The mechanics will get fifty yuan a month.

If they come here to see and don't want to stay, we will be responsible for sending them back and also give them five yuan for travel expenses.

The mechanics who stay to work will be sent back to reunite with their families for three days every month."

Hearing this, Hang Xingde smiled: "Company Commander Lin's sincerity is too great.

With such conditions, I want to come over too."

Lin Fan immediately said, "If Captain Hang can come over, he will get two hundred yuan a month and be responsible for the pilot training of the entire Special Company.

What do you think?"

Hang Xingde was immediately tempted. He did not refuse immediately, nor did he agree immediately.

He just said that he would think about it when he went back.

Lin Fan was not in a hurry to urge him. Hang Xingde thought for a while and asked, "If someone over there wants to come over, how can they contact you?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Our organization has an office in Wuhan. You can send the message to the office.

We can then contact you."

The five fighter planes were refueled and immediately returned with the transport plane.

After they left, Army Commander Deng Longguang and Army Commander Ye Zhao also took off from the Guangde Airport.

They had already contacted Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone.

They would go there on the Japanese transport plane that they had just captured.

When they left, Lin Fan didn't even know that the two of them were actually going to Quzhou.

The two old foxes had been keeping it a secret.

Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone had been busy these days directing his troops to defend Hangzhou.

Today, he also received intelligence from the front line: "There is a Japanese plane with a tiger painted on its belly.

It turned against the enemy on the battlefield and caused great damage to the Japanese."

As the commander-in-chief of a war zone, he was afraid that the Japanese would find out his whereabouts and come to bomb him.

Therefore, his news in Quzhou was strictly kept secret.

If it were not because the 83rd and 66th Armies were in Guangde, only 100 kilometers away from Hangzhou.

Li Zongren would not have met the two army commanders at this time.

The defeat in Hangzhou was already obvious, and the Nationalist army had decided to abandon Hangzhou.

Now Li Zongren was considering how to safely withdraw his troops from Hangzhou.

The entire Nationalist army now had experience in fighting positional warfare with the Japanese.

It was just that the casualties during the retreat were always more than during a regular battle.

Therefore, Li Zongren paid special attention to the retreat of the troops this time.

Since noon, he learned from Wuhan that the 83rd and 66th Armies had successfully broken through from Nanjing.

And they had captured cities and territories all the way, forcefully fighting from Nanjing to Guangde.

He had a strong interest in these two armies.

In the afternoon, he and his staff team also rehearsed on the map.

Guangde to Hangzhou was now only separated by Anji. If these two armies could show the courage to fight Guangde.

And capture Anji.

Then the 106th Division and the 53rd Division, which were defending Mogan Mountain and Deqing, could withdraw from Anji to Tianmu Mountain.

This would greatly facilitate the retreat of the troops. First, the retreat distance would be short.

The second reason was that the entire road was full of jungles and mountains, and the Japanese mechanized troops and planes would be restricted and would not be able to play much of a role.

It was with this idea that Li Zongren agreed to meet the two army commanders who were able to break through from the front in Nanjing.

After Army Commander Ye Zhao and Army Commander Deng Longguang flew away from Guangde Airport.

Lin Fan immediately gathered the two regimental commanders he had just met and ordered: "Tonight, the Special Company will hold a meeting in Jurong.

At that time, please all six of you officers above regimental level take the plane with me to Jurong.

To arrange the next stage of the mission."

Hearing Lin Fan's announcement, the faces of the six regimental-level officers present changed immediately.

They wondered if the Special Company was sending them away and then sending people to take over their troops.

Regimental Commander Shangguan asked, "When will we be back?"

He was afraid that this was a power grab by Lin Fan and that none of them would be able to come back.

In this situation, the six of them had already been separated from the officers under them.

And there were four or five Special Company soldiers guarding around.

Lin Fan saw that the faces of the six officers were uncertain and immediately understood that they had misunderstood.

He said with a smile, "You have all misunderstood. The Special Company already had tens of thousands of people before you joined.

It is still using a company's organizational structure, which is very inconvenient to command.

Therefore, we decided to reorganize.

Now that you have joined, this reorganization is even more necessary.

Please come over together so that you senior commanders can get to know each other.

In future combat missions, everyone can cooperate with each other.

As for your two regiments, and the Ding Zimin Regiment and Wu Yuan Regiment that came a few days ago.

There will be no changes.

Only our previous platoons, each of which had more than a thousand people.

This time, we plan to reorganize all of them into regiments, so that it will be easier for everyone to understand and command in the future.

The Special Company will also be reorganized into a Special Brigade.

The people attending the meeting today will have to return to their teams overnight.

We will have to return to Guangde tonight!"

Lin Fan said so much that he finally relieved the six officers of their doubts.

Regimental Commander Shangguan Zhiwen said with an embarrassed smile, "You must be laughing at me, Brigade Commander Lin.

We judged a gentleman's heart with a villain's mind.

Please forgive me, Brigade Commander."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, this is not the Nationalist army.

I am not a certain Chang either. We will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, nor will we kill the donkey after it has done its work.

Of course, all of this has a premise, and only one premise:

You must all guarantee that you will wholeheartedly resist the Japanese.

As long as your hearts to wholeheartedly resist the Japanese do not change, Lin Fan's heart for you will not change."

Shang Wenxuan and Shangguan Zhiwen quickly said, "Brigade Commander, rest assured: We traveled thousands of miles from Guangdong to Nanjing.

We came to fight the Japanese and defend our country."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "It's good that everyone understands this. Now you can go and arrange your troops.

When the other platoon leaders come over, we will set off."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, all the platoon leaders of the Special Company in Guangde received the order to gather at the airport and return to Jurong.

Xiao Dongbei, the platoon leader of the Fourth Platoon in Langxi, rushed over as quickly as possible after receiving the order.

Shangguan Zhiwen, Shang Wenxuan, and the other six people were truly relieved now.

At six o'clock, Lin Fan personally flew the transport plane and took off from Guangde Airport.

The straight-line distance was 120 kilometers, and it took Lin Fan 23 minutes to get there.

When the plane landed, Li Xian was already waiting by the runway.

At the same time, Sheng Shicai's family was also waiting here.

All of them had seen the bonfires burning on both sides of the road and came over to see what was happening.

They set off at six o'clock and arrived in Jurong, getting off the plane before six-thirty.

The time Lin Fan had agreed with Li Xian to start the meeting was eight o'clock.

Therefore, there was still more than an hour left.

Looking at Chen Sichuan's blushing face, Lin Fan said with a smile, "Go! Go! Go have fun!

Remember to start the meeting at eight o'clock, be there by seven-fifty!"

"Yes!" Chen Sichuan was happy all of a sudden.

He saluted Lin Fan and immediately ran towards the Sheng family trio.

Sheng Shicai looked at the son-in-law who had joined his family and felt satisfied.

The first thing he said to Chen Sichuan was: "Where have you fought to?"

"Guangde!" Chen Sichuan said as seriously as if he was reporting to Lin Fan.

Wang Yufen looked at his nervous look and gently pulled Sheng Shicai: "Let the young people go for a walk, we will go back and prepare some dishes."

She said to Chen Sichuan with a smile, "Sichuan! You go for a walk first, come to our house for dinner later."

Just as Chen Sichuan was about to say something, Wang Yufen added, "Dinner will be served at seven o'clock, it won't delay your meeting."

With such a mother-in-law, what else could Chen Sichuan say.

Sheng Menghan was very clear about her mother's ways.

But she had not seen Chen Sichuan these days, and she really wanted to ask him something.

When only the two of them were left, Sheng Menghan said softly, "Let's walk along Jurong City."

"Okay!" That was all he said.

The two walked silently for a few steps, and Sheng Menghan suddenly said, "We haven't seen each other for so many days, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Chen Sichuan thought for a while: "I have a lot to say, but I don't know how to start."

"Then just say whatever you want."

Chen Sichuan said, "We set off from Langxi to attack Guangde at dawn today.

When we passed Guangde Airport, we found that there were still many planes in the airport.

So we built a bridge and rushed into the runway.

We killed all the Japanese.

Our first platoon was in the front.

This plane was what we captured.

It took us so many days to walk from Jurong to Guangde.

Just now, it only took us 23 minutes to come back.

Wasn't it fast?"

"Fast! Can I take a plane?

I've never been on a plane in my life," Sheng Menghan said.

Chen Sichuan said with a smile, "If you want to take a plane, you can fly to Guangde with us later.

It's just that I don't know when there will be a plane back."
