It was still raining lightly in the sky, and mutilated corpses and debris were floating everywhere on the sea. The Hainan aircraft's attacks were not as fierce as at the beginning. The consumption of ammunition and fuel was no longer enough for them to continue fighting. They had to turn to fly to the secret base in Gaoping, Vietnam.
.where the ground crews have prepared everything needed, just waiting for them to carry out the second wave of air strikes.
Soon, in addition to the more than 20 aircraft destroyed by the French soldiers, the remaining 90 fighter planes turned to fly to the northwest. They had to rush to the Gaoping base as soon as possible, not only to continue the operation, but also to separate part of the Thunder and Lightning
It can be said that the task of the Air Force is very arduous.
Of course, there were more than 90 aircraft flying in the sky along the way. Such a big movement certainly could not be concealed from the local Vietnamese government. The Hainan Air Force flew over Caoping and landed in the nearby jungle, which aroused widespread concern among the Vietnamese people. When the subordinates reported, they could not find the camp.
General, we finally found him in Chunfeng Tower after questioning. At that time, he was doing "piston movements" happily. After listening to the report from his subordinates, the garrison general ran back to the military camp rolling and crawling.
As soon as the Gaoping County Magistrate got the news, combined with the widespread jungle haunting incident in the past few days, and the number of enemy air force planes he saw today, he knew that something serious was going on.
Then he hurriedly asked for help, found connections, and inquired about the situation for a long time. In the end, he only knew that the Haiphong Military Port had been attacked, and the losses to the Far East Fleet might be serious. The more he inquired about the news, the more he knew, the paler his face became. Especially when he knew that the enemy forces
The air force base was built right under his nose, so he had the urge to curse. This time, his worth and life might be gone.
After thinking about it, there were not even a thousand but eight hundred people who saw the enemy plane landing in the distance. Knowing this news, I would definitely not be able to hide it. The most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of the crime and make meritorious service. Otherwise, even if you don’t die, you will have to shed your skin afterwards. Choice
After a long time, he was still unsure about paying attention, so he quickly sent someone to ask the garrison general to come to discuss the matter. On the other hand, he quickly sent a telegram to the Governor's Mansion to inform him of the situation here.
"What? A Chinese plane landed in Gaoping County!?"
After receiving the telegram from Caoping County, Governor Freese's first reaction was that it was impossible. How could the Chinese air force base be built there? Gaoping is the center of northern Vietnam. The Chinese air force base fell from the sky.
!
However, Frese's guess is correct. It can be said that Gaoping Air Force Base did fall from the sky. First, special forces were airdropped to clean up the place, and then various materials needed to build the base were transported. Because
With a golden finger like the Destiny Base, a simple air force base that can be put into use can be built within a week.
The chief butler of Gaoping County Magistrate was anxiously walking around in front of the door. The county magistrate sent him here to wait for the camp general. But there was no one in sight, and his anxious eyebrows were almost on fire. Soon, the butler came.
He saw the battalion commander he was waiting for hurriedly running towards him, and he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Sir Camp Commander, you are finally here! My master has been waiting for you for a long time, please come here!!" The housekeeper saw the lip prints on the camp commander's neck that were still being wiped off in a hurry, and quickly pretended not to see it, and hurriedly came in
He bent down to lead the way. Although he didn't say it, he secretly said in his heart that he would die on the woman's belly sooner or later if he didn't know how to control himself.
"Brother! The situation is urgent. You must already know the matter. What do you think we should do now?" Gaoping County Magistrate said straight to the point without talking nonsense.
On the way to Lade, the camp general also knew the general outline of the matter. It was clear that no matter how unpleasant the quarrel with the county magistrate was in the past, they were now two grasshoppers on the same rope. Now he had to think about how to shirk responsibility and make up for his mistakes. If he could handle it together
No, it's very possible that the two of them are really done.
"Send troops! No matter what, we have to engage in a firefight with the enemy!" After all, the battalion general had experience in commanding operations, and he quickly thought of a way.
"This!? Look at those planes. You know the strength of the enemy, right? Can we defeat the enemy?" The county magistrate hesitated.
There is a total of one battalion of 400 troops in Gaoping County. After deducting the 100 men killed by the Langya Special Forces in the last jungle battle, there are only 200 or 300 troops left. How can we fight the enemy? Those people are not
It's a blessing to attack the county seat. Why do we have to look for the opponent to fight? If we don't have time and speed, we are looking for abuse?
The camp general was very depressed. How could the usually smart county magistrate become so stupid? Of course, he didn't show it on the surface, but he patiently explained, "You didn't understand! What I want to say is to find someone."
If we exchange fire with the other party, it doesn’t matter whether we can win or not. As long as we fight with the other party, we can give an explanation to the superiors!"
"Oh! I understand. It's not a hard fight! If we win, it will be considered a meritorious service! If we lose, it's because the other party is too strong. Anyway, it's even if we tried our best!" The county magistrate is not stupid either.
At first, it was because he was flustered and confused, which affected his judgment. Once prompted, he quickly understood what the general wanted to say.
"Okay! Without further ado, let's do it like this!" Gaoping County Magistrate nodded in agreement with the camp general's approach.
The two discussed and came to the conclusion that the battalion general would lead the troops to go out to find the enemy troops. He chose to quickly contact the people who could help and pay them some money to let those people find a way to save them. The two of them performed their respective duties and acted separately.
.In the end, the county magistrate took out a sum of money from his own money. Yan Ming was rewarded with a hundred gold coins for bravery in all battles, and used this to stimulate the morale of the soldiers.
The Gaoping Hainan Secret Air Force Base is a bustling scene. The open spaces on both sides of the airport runway are filled with various types of fighter jets that have just landed. Except for a few aircraft that were seriously damaged and cannot continue to take off, the rest of the aircraft have to rely on the base.
Ground crews refuel and load ammunition.
There are already relatively few ground staff at the airport, and this time the Air Force has landed a particularly large number of aircraft, which has made the already very tight human resources even worse. Moreover, the order from the headquarters is to allow the Air Force to continue investing as quickly as possible.
Taking off for combat, and they also knew that the return of the air force to the battlefield would increase their own chances of winning, so these ground crews worked hard!
"Quick! Hurry up! Give me all the strength to feed you!" Wang Tiezhu, a member of the cooking class, was carrying a box of bullets and was still wearing a white oil skirt that he had to take off for cooking. He was spitting.
Xingzi vigorously encouraged his comrades who were also in the cooking class.
Because the manpower of the base was very low, and the special operations team members guarding the base outside were not available to help during this period, Niu Meng had no choice but to order other logistics personnel to help, just like the soldiers in the cooking class.
Of course, they won't be able to do things that require high skills, but they can still carry some ammunition or lift something.
The ground staff at the base were hard at work, but they didn't know that in Gaoping County, a team of 300 Vietnamese soldiers was heading straight for them.
