The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 299 Arriving in Teng County to Shoot Down Planes

"Did you guys even bring planes to fight?" Division Commander Wang Mingzhang felt like the world was becoming unrecognizable.

Or rather, he didn't recognize the world before him.

It wasn't just him; all the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division headquarters around him were dumbfounded.

If they were only surprised when the anti-aircraft guns of the Special Operations Brigade were dragged out of the planes, then the last plane was an unexpected surprise.

"What use is one plane? During the day, the Japanese devils had more than twenty planes bombing Teng County. You need to hide this plane well!" Wang Mingzhang reacted.

Lin Fan didn't explain!

Sometimes, a thousand words are not as good as firing a shot!

Facts speak louder than words; that's the most important thing.

Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian watched as no fewer than two hundred soldiers, along with a dozen women, walked out of the four transport planes.

The long braids behind the soldiers' heads revealed their gender.

He pointed to the distinctly different soldiers and asked, "Brigade Commander Lin! Do you have female soldiers in your unit?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "They are doctors and nurses!"

The officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division present heard Lin Fan's words.

It was as if thunder had exploded in their ears.

Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian swallowed hard, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse due to nervousness.

"You have doctors?"

His hand unconsciously grabbed Lin Fan's arm, as if afraid that Lin Fan would run away the next moment.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Yes! We do!"

"Can you treat our brothers? They've suffered too much!" Zhao Weixian's breathing became rapid.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang also said from the side, "Brigade Commander Lin! If you can treat our six hundred wounded soldiers, the entire 122nd Division, no! The entire Sichuan Army will remember you. *Pao ge ren jia*, we never fake it!"

Lin Fan would certainly not refuse to treat the wounded, especially those fighting the Japanese.

In any case, Lin Fan would treat them.

But hearing that there were more than six hundred wounded, this completely exceeded the capabilities of Motoi Aya and the others.

Although these people kept calling themselves his slaves, Lin Fan still couldn't bring himself to treat them like true slaves.

Lin Fan's contemplation was seen as reluctance in the eyes of these Sichuanese men.

Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian felt that he had been too excited just now.

He let go of Lin Fan's hand somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I spoke too soon! I'm sorry! I've made things difficult for Brigade Commander Lin."

Seeing that people had misunderstood him, Lin Fan quickly grabbed Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian's hand and said, "Chief of Staff Zhao, what are you talking about? I was just thinking that we only brought twenty doctors and nurses this time. It's impossible to treat more than six hundred wounded in a short period of time. These brothers are the bravest people on the battlefield. We can't let them shed blood on the battlefield and then shed tears when they return to the rear."

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang said, "Sichuanese brothers are never afraid of shedding blood or tears. Brigade Commander Lin doesn't need to worry; just treat as many as you can. The 122nd Division! No! The Sichuan Army up and down, including all the elders and folks in Sichuan, will be grateful to the Special Operations Brigade."

Lin Fan said cautiously, "I have an idea, and I don't know if I should say it."

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang said with a wry smile, "At this time, what is there that shouldn't be said?"

Lin Fan said, "We have a field hospital in Jurong with more than eight hundred doctors and nurses. If possible, let the brothers who can persevere squeeze onto the plane. It's three and a half hours to Jurong. Go there for hospitalization and treatment. The brothers with serious injuries who cannot be moved will have surgery in Teng County. What do you think, Division Commander Wang and Chief of Staff Zhao?"

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang grasped Lin Fan's hands again, this time with much more strength.

"Good! Good! Thank you so much, Brother Lin! It's just that this plane... Brother Lin needs to help negotiate and negotiate!"

Lin Fan said, "In that case! You transfer the wounded here. I'll report to Commander Li!"

After Lin Fan finished speaking, Liu Ziqian opened the transmitter on the side.

Lin Fan orally drafted a telegram: "Fifth War Zone Headquarters! The Special Operations Brigade has arrived according to plan. The target location has six hundred wounded. Request permission to transfer them to Jurong!"

This telegram was immediately sent to Li Zongren. Tonight, Lin Fan traveled thousands of miles to Teng County.

Li Zongren was also somewhat worried.

After all, Teng County was not like the previous northern Shaanxi.

The current Teng County was under the watchful eyes of the Japanese devils, and accidents could happen at any time.

After seeing the telegram, he immediately connected to the phone at the 122nd Division headquarters.

Knowing that Division Commander Wang Mingzhang was in the west of the city.

The telegram was sent to the west of the city again.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang repeated Lin Fan's proposal to transfer the wounded to Jurong for treatment.

Li Zongren thought that the Sichuan Army was fighting on the front lines and didn't even have medical soldiers.

After being injured, they could only persevere. Now that Lin Fan had such an action.

Although it made the Fifth War Zone's three transport planes take on some more risks, it could let the Sichuan Army know that the Fifth War Zone was specially using transport planes to transport the wounded to the rear.

The help to the morale of the entire army was very great.

On the phone, he finally agreed to the request to let the three transport planes fly once more.

After hanging up the phone, a smile finally appeared on Wang Mingzhang's face.

He loudly ordered, "Immediately notify: All wounded soldiers will gather at the runway in the west of the city. Move quickly."

Lin Fan added, "Let our doctors follow along. Those with serious injuries should not aggravate their injuries due to movement. The four transport planes can transport all the wounded if they squeeze in."

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang waved his hand, "Don't worry! The brothers have been able to withstand it for so long, and they can persevere for just three hours. If something happens, that's fate! As long as the plane can carry them, take all the wounded away!"

At this time, the aura of the division commander finally came out.

Lin Fan could only let Motoi Aya and the others guard the runway here.

Those with particularly serious injuries could be treated if possible.

Wang Mingzhang looked at the hesitant expression on Lin Fan's face and asked with a smile, "Brother Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Lin Fan said, "The Sichuanese brothers are the people I admire the most. After these brothers recover from their injuries in Jurong, can they stay with us?"

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang smiled, "Why not? You healed them and gave them a second life. They can sell this life to you. To be honest, out of so many people, only you and Commander Li treat us like human beings. Before we joined the Fifth War Zone, no commander was willing to take us in."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "A *qianlima* is often seen, but a Bole is not. Those people only saw that the Sichuanese brothers had poor equipment and poor discipline, but they didn't understand the truth. They also disdained to understand. It's just that the brothers have suffered. But face is earned by oneself. As long as the brothers fight a few tough battles and hard battles, the world's perception will change."

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang also smiled.

"Let's start this change with me, with my 122nd Division."

The temporary decision to send a group of wounded to Jurong delayed the departure time of the Jing Mingda and his air group by a full two hours.

Lin Fan had already sent a telegram to Li Xian, first to report the news that he had arrived safely.

Second, to notify Jurong to be prepared: More than six hundred wounded soldiers were returning on transport planes.

After the transport plane disappeared into the dark night.

The bonfires on both sides of the entire airport runway were also slowly extinguished, but the torches on both sides of the runway increased.

Although it was at night, the Special Operations Brigade! Now it should be called the Special Operations Company.

Lin Fan only brought one company.

As soon as the Special Operations Company arrived in Teng County, it sent more than six hundred wounded to the rear.

Jurong was still very unfamiliar to many Sichuanese soldiers.

When it came to the rear, they could all understand.

This made all the soldiers still on the battlefield very moved.

And they also heard that: "This Special Operations Company, which travels a thousand miles overnight, also has a medical team. From now on, they don't have to persevere after being injured. They can also have a doctor to treat their illnesses. In any case: This team, which came all the way to Teng County to fight the war of resistance. Is loyal enough! And rich!"

Lin Fan never thought he was a tycoon!

Although he had always insisted that his team must eat meat every day.

Because the Special Operations Company brought its own reconnaissance plane, Division Commander Wang Mingzhang handed over the defense task of the west gate of Teng County to Lin Fan.

This made it easier to protect the entire runway and their own plane.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang didn't expect that overnight, there were planes and anti-aircraft guns in the team he commanded.

Although there was only one of each!

At six o'clock in the morning on March 12th, Lin Fan received a telegram from Jurong.

"Safe!"

That was enough; the four transport planes had arrived safely in Jurong.

Lin Fan did not delay and immediately reported the news to the 122nd Division headquarters by phone.

Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian, who answered the phone, heard that the wounded brothers had arrived safely in Jurong.

He repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Lin Fan on the phone.

Lin Fan repeatedly said that he should, he should.

He inquired about the situation of County Chief Zhou of Teng County, saying that he had something to discuss with County Chief Zhou.

Lin Fan's decision to send the wounded to Jurong in the early morning won the support of the entire Sichuan Army.

The weapons and ammunition they unloaded from the plane were swarmed by enthusiastic Sichuanese brothers.

They were all moved into the city before dawn.

At 9:23 a.m. on March 12, 1938.

The Japanese devils' attack on Teng County continued.

All the routines were no different from yesterday.

They did not relax their attacks on Shiqiang, Shimapo, and Xiangcheng in the slightest.

It was still artillery bombardment and infantry charges.

When they couldn't break through, they would send planes.

Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke led the entire squadron, just like in the previous days.

They continued to bomb and strafe the entire Teng County Sichuan Army defense area.

Pilot Usagawa Hideki deliberately detached himself from the flight squadron and lowered his altitude to look at the runway in the west of the city.

As soon as he arrived at the runway, he shouted in surprise.

"Squadron Leader Sakaishita! Come and see, planes landed here last night."

Fujiyama Sota, who was following him, also echoed, "Yes! Yes! There are ashes from bonfires on both sides of the runway. Those bonfires are distributed very evenly. What did these people send by plane?"

"Secret weapon!" Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke joked nonchalantly.

Joking?

In the next moment, all the Japanese devils on the twenty-one planes in the entire flight squadron in this sky laughed.

"Secret weapon? Is it used to shoot down planes?" The voice that spoke was somewhat cheap and lewd.

The Japanese devils in the entire flight squadron laughed even louder.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang was in the county command headquarters, looking at the enemy planes in the sky.

His guard company commander, Wang Siyuan, looked at so many planes of the Japanese devils.

He said worriedly, "Don't let them discover our plane."

He had already regarded the reconnaissance plane of the Special Operations Company as belonging to the 122nd Division.

Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian smiled and glanced at this nephew of the division commander.

"They put the plane outside the city and built a grass fence. It can't be hidden at all."

Wang Mingzhang sighed, "The city gate is too small, and the plane is too big. There is no way to hide it in the city. I hope the Japanese devils don't discover that plane."

Usagawa Hideki, who was driving the fighter plane, suddenly shouted.

"Plane! I found the Sichuan Army's plane! It's at the end of the runway; they hid it in a shed."

"We saw it too! This must be the plane of the Sichuan Army commander. Shoot it down, and then notify the division commander that there must be a big shot from the Sichuan Army here. Fujiyama Sota! You go back and report immediately."

Military orders are like mountains!

Fujiyama Sota reluctantly turned around and flew away.

Wu Xiaobao said in surprise, "Brigade commander! A plane from the Japanese devils ran away."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "It can run away on the first day, but it can't run away on the fifteenth. It will come back."

The plane at the end of the runway suddenly became the common target of the entire Sakaishita Shunsuke flight squadron.

Usagawa Hideki was the first to discover the target.

He was also flying in the front. The plane was parked there quietly.

Usagawa Hideki laughed and said, "This plane will be blown up. Those people on the city wall will be heartbroken and jump off the city wall!"

Another Japanese devil pilot echoed, "I don't know if they will jump down, but they will be blown up by me."

The atmosphere in the air was very harmonious and relaxed now.

That's very good! Very good!

The Japanese devils of the Sakaishita Shunsuke squadron had been dispatching hundreds of sorties every day for these days.

They spent more time in the air every day than on the ground.

The Japanese devils of the entire flight squadron were already very tired.

Today, such a suddenly appearing plane gave them something to laugh at.

Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke was filled with gratitude for the plane that was about to be blown up.

Just now, a plane had left the formation and returned to report the situation to Division Commander Isogu Renjie.

Twenty enemy planes were diving in the sky west of Teng County.

Wang Siyuan's expression changed. "Oh no! The Japanese devils' planes are all diving to the west of the city. They must have discovered our plane!"

Wang Mingzhang and Zhao Weixian watched as the Japanese devils' air group all lowered their altitude.

What did this mean?

They were very clear!

The defense of the west of the city was the Special Operations Brigade.

Lin Fan operated the anti-aircraft gun, aiming at the diving enemy plane.

"Fire!" He gave himself the order in his heart.

An Ping, the platoon leader of the artillery platoon, was by Lin Fan's side.

He concentrated on watching Lin Fan's operation, watching Lin Fan's aiming.

The first shell flew out, flying towards Usagawa Hideki's plane at a speed of eight hundred and sixty-two meters per second.

Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke did not expect that today he would really encounter a "secret weapon" here.

He saw a streak of fire flying out from the west city wall of Teng County.

It was not a shell; it was a string of shells.

There was only one type of gun that could fire at such a speed.

Anti-aircraft gun!

"Be careful! They have anti-aircraft guns!"

Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke reminded loudly, but his actions did not change.

It was true that anti-aircraft guns were used to shoot down planes.

It was just that the chance of it hitting a plane was only one in ten thousand.

It was really only one in ten thousand.

On average, an anti-aircraft gun had to fire twelve thousand shells to shoot down a plane.

The probability of one in ten thousand, most of the Japanese devils in the Sakaishita Shunsuke squadron were not afraid.

Usagawa Hideki was an exception. There was the word "Hide" in his name.

Now he was in the front of the entire squadron, showing a flower.

A firework that exploded with red light and black smoke.

Gu Xiuming led a company of soldiers, watching the Japanese devils' plane pounce towards the west of the city with a smile.

An Ping only focused on Lin Fan's operation.

County Chief Zhou Tong of Teng County was notified by Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian of the 122nd Division that Lin Fan, the brigade commander of the newly arrived Special Operations Brigade, had something to discuss with him.

However, Brigade Commander Lin had something to do and could not leave, so he wanted to invite him to the city wall in the west of the city.

County Chief Zhou was also a busy person. Teng County, which he managed, was being ravaged by the Japanese devils, and he was also very worried every day.

If it weren't for Chief of Staff Zhao saying that this Brigade Commander Lin had airlifted more than six hundred wounded to the rear as soon as he arrived, County Chief Zhou would not have time to come to the west of the city all day long.

When the Japanese devils' plane came over, he was in the west of the city.

He saw the figures on the city wall, who were more burly than the Sichuanese soldiers.

This was County Chief Zhou Tong's first impression of the Special Operations Brigade.

Then he saw the gun on the city wall shake.

The sound of thunder was also constantly ringing.

Then the enemy planes, which had been wantonly strafing and throwing bombs everywhere in Teng County these days, exploded in the air.

It was like a firework blooming in the air.

County Chief Zhou felt that this scene was beautiful; it was too beautiful.

If there was a scene more beautiful than this!

Then it must be the opening of a second such firework.

The scene that was more beautiful than he imagined appeared.

In mid-air, the Japanese devils' planes turned into fireworks one after another.

"County Chief! Ten of the Japanese devils' planes have been blown up!" Zhou Jishen, who was following him, reminded him.

"County Chief! Danger!" The entourage beside him reminded him.

Zhou Tong had unknowingly walked onto the city wall, completely exposing his body.

At this time, if the Japanese devils' plane rushed closer and launched a wave of strafing.

He would be in danger.

Zhou Tong pointed to the Special Operations Brigade soldiers on the city wall and said, "What danger is there? Look at them. The professional soldiers didn't even hide!"

I don't know how he could tell at a glance that these soldiers under Gu Xiuming were professional.

But his reason was irrefutable.

None of the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade hid.

Usagawa Hideki showed the last scene of his life.

It made the Japanese devils of the Sakaishita Shunsuke flight squadron, who were following behind him, feel half cold.

They didn't know that Usagawa Hideki was setting an example for them and setting an example for them.

They would follow one after another.

The pilots of the Sakaishita Shunsuke flight squadron followed one after another like moths to a flame.

Mizugaki Sho, whose heart was half cold, looked at the distant path that was attacking his plane straight on.

He finally couldn't bear it; he couldn't bear such a reality.

He was so frightened that he screamed loudly: "Ah!"

He became the second plane in the Sakaishita Shunsuke flight squadron to be destroyed.

Mizugaki Sho's scream was like opening a valve.

All the Japanese devils of the entire Sakaishita Shunsuke flight squadron felt like they had stepped into the gates of hell.

Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke ordered urgently, "Leave! Leave here! They really have secret weapons."

Although the opposite weapon could be seen to be an anti-aircraft gun.

But experts had investigated and studied that it took ten thousand shells to shoot down a plane.

The experts knew about this, and the Sakaishita Shunsuke squadron knew about it.

Did the Sichuanese brothers below know?

Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke didn't know now.

He just ordered all the planes to disperse and leave this airspace.

If time could be reversed, he would definitely prevent his flight squadron from approaching Teng County by even half a step.

"It's coming! It's coming!" Pilot Kaneshiro Hyuga's terrified voice rang in the ears of the Japanese devils who were still alive in the entire flight squadron.

It was as if a lamb to be slaughtered had suddenly discovered the reality.

Squadron Leader Sakaishita Shunsuke was neither the first nor the last to be destroyed.

The moment the plane was hit, he suddenly fell from the clouds, his whole body as light as a feather, and he was shattered by countless fragments.

When all twenty Japanese devils' fighter planes in the air were shot down.

The Special Operations Brigade's anti-aircraft guns also stopped firing.

Just now it was full of thunder, but at this time it suddenly became extremely silent.

At this time, County Chief Zhou Tong could no longer care about restraint, nor did he care about the demeanor of a scholar.

He strode towards the young man who had just come down from the cannon.

When he came to the front, he was full of smiles.

"May I ask your honorable name, officer? You fought so well just now. The people of Teng County thank you. We have suffered from these Japanese devil planes for too long. Just now, this was revenge for the people of the entire county."

"Lin Fan! May I ask who you are?" Lin Fan asked with some doubt.

Today, he had an appointment with County Chief Zhou to come to the west of the city to talk.

Because he had to stay by the anti-aircraft gun at all times, Lin Fan could not leave.

Otherwise, he would not have done such an impolite thing.

County Chief Zhou Tong looked at the young man in front of him again.

Judging from his appearance, this young man would not be more than twenty-five years old.

This was still his best effort to overestimate his age.

It was really because Lin Fan was born in a new era and grew up in a happy people under the red flag.

He had never suffered a loss in life since he was a child. Even in this era.

Although his life was the same as that of all the soldiers in the Special Operations Brigade, the Special Operations Brigade's days of eating meat every day were already considered the lives of rich people in this era.

Therefore, his whole appearance looked very young and full of vigor.

Zhou Tong thought that the person who could be the brigade commander of the Special Operations Brigade would not be this young man.

He couldn't help but say with a smile, "My name is Zhou Tong; I am the county chief of Teng County. Lin Fan! What a good name; sure enough, heroes come from young people. This name is the same as your brigade commander's name! Your brigade commander asked me to come over, saying that he had something to discuss. That's why I came."

Lin Fan said somewhat embarrassedly, "County Chief Zhou Tong! I have admired you for a long time! I have admired you for a long time! I am Brigade Commander Lin; I am really sorry. I am not pretending to be arrogant; it's really... You also saw the situation just now. We only have this one gun, and I have to guard this gun. I am waiting for the Japanese devils' plane to come over so that I can shoot them down. That's why I can't leave here. Please understand, County Chief Zhou."

Lin Fan really admired this county chief.

After the entire 122nd Division was martyred, Teng County was occupied by the Japanese devils. He felt deeply that as the county chief of the entire county, he could not protect the peace of the county.

It was actually occupied by the Japanese devils, and he was unwilling to live under the rule of the Japanese devils.

He jumped off the ten-meter-high city wall, which was a very heroic act.

Lin Fan only had respect for such a person.

Now that he saw Zhou Tong in person, this feeling was even stronger.

Zhou Tong could tell from Lin Fan's powerful handshake and the emotion he saw in his eyes that the Brigade Commander Lin on the opposite side was serious about what he said about admiring him.

Zhou Tong did not expect that he was just a county chief in a small place and had never been a star county chief.

What was there about him that was worthy of this young Lin brigade commander admiring him?

It was just that this Brigade Commander Lin was too young. He had become a brigade commander at such a young age; he really had a bright future.

In particular, he also specially explained the reason why he did not go to the county government office.

Judging from the situation just now, this should be the truth.

If he knew that this Brigade Commander Lin was to shoot down planes that he had asked someone to bring a message to himself.

Don't say running half the city, even if it was running a hundred miles, I would be happy and willing.

Zhou Jishen, who was beside Zhou Tong, was also shocked: This brigade commander was too young.

The action of shooting down the enemy plane just now was too unrestrained.

He cupped his hands to Lin Fan and said, "I am Zhou Jishen; I have met Brigade Commander Lin."

Lin Fan quickly returned the salute. "Mr. Zhou is too polite. I am a soldier; please forgive me for any lack of etiquette."

At this time, Zhou Tong came back to his senses. "Brigade Commander Lin! Hello! Welcome to Teng County. I don't know what you need me to do today when you asked me to come here?"

He was very clear that the soldiers would definitely not come to him for nothing when they arrived here.

They were only looking for him for one thing: to get supplies!

However, after seeing Lin Fan's share of shooting down twenty Japanese devils' planes at one time, he was willing to give him these supplies.

He would give it to him happily!

Lin Fan said with a smile, "County Chief Zhou! It's like this; our entire company has two hundred and thirty people. We have brought our weapons and ammunition all the way from Jiangnan here by air. Only food and mules and horses could not be brought. I asked County Chief Zhou to come here to ask County Chief Zhou to be an intermediary and introduce us to a boss. We want to buy some food, meat, mules, horses, and carts."

Zhou Tong heard Lin Fan say so modestly. According to the policy of the National Army, Lin Fan and the others would arrive in Teng County to fight, and these supplies would be provided by the local government.

Why did they still want to buy them?

At that moment, he said somewhat hesitantly, "Food is what we should supply locally. It's just that Brigade Commander Lin, you have to know that there are large armies around Teng County now. It is indeed somewhat difficult to supply this small county. Therefore, please forgive us for some places where there is insufficient supply."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "County Chief Zhou has misunderstood! I am not looking for County Chief Zhou for supplies; I want to ask County Chief Zhou to be an introducer. Our requirements are relatively high, so we just want to spend money to buy food, meat, hire carts, and guides!"

This time, Zhou Tong heard that the overly young Brigade Commander Lin on the opposite side was serious.

He also said seriously, "Brigade Commander Lin! Now is a time of war. The price of food is not low, and meat is even more so. It is cheaper to hire mules, horses, carts, and guides. The main thing is that there are not many jobs to be found now."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "That's right! We are prepared! County Chief Zhou, just introduce us and give us a reasonable price."

County Chief Zhou Tong pointed to Zhou Jishen, who had just greeted him, and said, "This is Zhou the Rich. He has everything that Brigade Commander Lin just said."

Zhou Jishen quickly said, "Brigade Commander Lin showed his great power today and shot down twenty Japanese devils' planes in one fell swoop. These planes have been flying over our heads every day for some time. From time to time, they drop a few bombs and strafe the villages. The people of Teng County have suffered a lot from it. Today, Brigade Commander Lin has eliminated this great harm for the people of Teng County. When I go back, I will have someone kill a pig and bring it over to reward the army."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "We appreciate Mr. Zhou's kindness. I will accept this pork first, but the price must be calculated according to the market price. In addition, if you have good grain from last year, please sell us five hundred kilograms of it. From today onwards, we will have one pig and five hundred kilograms of grain every day. We will set it down: money first, goods later. If we suddenly leave one day, these pigs and grain will be stuck in your hands."

County Chief Zhou Tong then truly understood that this Brigade Commander Lin was really serious.

Zhou Jishen also understood.

He quickly said, "Brigade Commander Lin, you are being too polite. You have come all the way here to fight the Japanese devils and help the people of Teng County. How can we let you spend money to buy food?"

Lin Fan said with a bitter smile, "The Japanese devils are attacking and occupying our territory because we soldiers are incompetent. If we were strong enough, how dare the Japanese devils spy on our territory? How would the people suffer such a disaster? At this time, we also have no face to freeload."

Zhou Jishen insisted on not accepting money.

Zhou Tong acted as a mediator in the middle, "How about this! The first day's meat and grain will be considered Mr. Zhou the Rich's kindness in rewarding the army. From the second day onwards, charge according to the market price. Mr. Zhou the Rich will find the carts, mules, horses, and guides."

The two sides took a step back and reached a happy deal.

Lin Fan pointed to the burning wreckage on the runway outside the city.

"This runway will also require County Chief Zhou to organize people to clean it up. Our plane is about to take off as well."

Only then did Zhou Tong see that there was a plane outside the city.

"Yours?"

Lin Fan nodded.

Wu Xiaobao reaped full pride from the shock of County Chief Zhou Tong and his entourage.

"We have also built planes ourselves. It's just that we didn't bring them this time." He said proudly.

It was as if a child with a beloved toy would feel that the toy had no soul and lost its meaning if he didn't take it out to show off.

County Chief Zhou was obviously stunned for a moment. "Brigade Commander Lin, do you have many planes?"

"Not many, not many; only twenty or so!" Lin Fan answered very honestly.

A brigade commander has more than twenty planes under his command; that's not much?

Alright! You got to show off again today!

After Zhou Tong and Zhou Jishen and the others walked down the city wall.

After walking past West Street, Zhou Jishen said.

"This Brigade Commander Lin is different from others."

Zhou Tong nodded in agreement.

"It's a bastard not to take advantage when you can. He doesn't seem to be willing to take advantage," Zhou Jishen continued.

Zhou Tong laughed. "You rich man, you only care about whether people are willing to take advantage. I saw that the soldiers under his command are different from other soldiers. Very different! I looked at them carefully when they were standing there just now. Every soldier, no matter how tall or short, had a very healthy look on their faces. This shows that these people's food is really good. No wonder they want to eat meat every day. Fortunately, they are paying for it themselves. If we really had to supply it, just these one hundred people, the county could afford to supply it. But if there were tens of thousands of troops, who all had to have meat every day, I, the county chief, would only be able to jump into the pot myself."

Zhou Jishen said with a smile, "They came from Jiangnan and have money in their hands."

"That's true. Their weapons are all made by the Japanese devils. Where did their money come from?" County Chief Zhou asked.

Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division headquarters was all worried about the Special Operations Brigade's plane.

When the sound of artillery firing came from the west of the city, even Wang Mingzhang himself walked out of the command headquarters.

He looked towards the sky west of the city.

The first plane exploded in mid-air, and the second plane exploded in mid-air.

The officers and soldiers of the entire 122nd Division headquarters were all stunned.

They couldn't believe what was happening in the sky.

The so arrogant Japanese devils' plane was shot down so easily?

Wang Siyuan, who was still worried about the Special Operations Brigade just now, said.

"Well done! These days, the damned plane has made the brothers suffer. That gun is so evil! It hits every time! Division Commander! When will we get one back?"

Chief of Staff Zhao Weixian said with a wry smile, "A gun, some people can hold it in their hands and hit the target every time. Most people can hit the target seven times, which is remarkable. When you really get to the battlefield, it's not easy to hit ten shots with a hundred bullets. This is skill!"

Speaking of this, he remembered Lin Fan's phone call asking him to invite County Chief Zhou to the west of the city.

He then came back to his senses.

He said to Wang Mingzhang, "Division Commander! I estimate that the person who fired the gun is Brigade Commander Lin. In the morning, he wanted to discuss things with County Chief Zhou. He specially asked County Chief Zhou to go to the west of the city to find him. At that time, I was thinking that it was too much. Now I see that he is probably guarding the cannon, waiting to shoot down the Japanese devils' plane."

Wang Mingzhang finally understood the expression on Lin Fan's face when he asked yesterday night, who was smiling but not saying anything.

It turned out that he was waiting for himself here.

"Facts speak louder than words, using facts to tell himself and the entire Sichuan Army. The strength of the Special Operations Brigade!"

He personally called the west of the city and heard that Lin Fan was talking to County Chief Zhou Tong.

He asked Lin Fan to call back later.

Lin Fan reported the results of the battle just now on the phone and also mentioned his request to County Chief Zhou to repair the runway.

Wang Mingzhang immediately said, "Do you want the soldiers in the city to go and help?"

Lin Fan quickly said, "County Chief Zhou has already said that all the Sichuanese soldiers worked together overnight to repair this runway the night before last. Now, we only need to clean up the wreckage of the Japanese devils' plane that was shot down. Fill in those pits; it doesn't take many people. It's not that my team isn't doing these things. It's just that we just arrived in Teng County, and my team still needs to go around to get familiar with the environment."

Lin Fan explained specially.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang could understand getting familiar with the surrounding environment.

Getting familiar with the environment is the terrain.

Division Commander Wang Mingzhang excitedly reported the good news that the Special Operations Brigade had just shot down twenty Japanese devils' planes to Commander-in-Chief Sun Zhen.

On the phone, he said excitedly, "Commander! The monks from outside can chant scriptures. This is really true. Brigade Commander Lin of the Special Operations Brigade only arrived in Teng County with two hundred and thirty people in the early morning.

Please convey to Commander Li: Take back what I said before. Forgive me, Wang Mingzhang, for being narrow-minded."

Sun Zhen was now the commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army Group.

Hearing his division commander laugh so happily for the first
