736 Welcome the Heroes Home
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Jifei and the last batch of P38 fighter pilots, as well as the British and American pilots flying bombers.
We arrived at Chaozhou Airport together and landed.
"Commander, we are back."
Meng Jifei brought a group of pilots from the aviation team to Ye Qingshan and saluted in unison.
"Well, you came back just in time.
You have made great contributions in this battle.
Destroying the enemy's flying regiment is equivalent to removing the biggest obstacle for our counterattack against Guangzhou."
Ye Qingshan was very excited at the moment.
The success or failure of this battle was the second key point that determined whether his counterattack in Guangdong Province would be successful.
The first is to seize eastern Guangdong.
And in the future, there will be more difficulties waiting for Ye Qingshan to overcome one by one.
Ye Qingshan didn't believe that the Japanese would easily give up Guangdong Province and Guangzhou.
Next, the Japanese will definitely try their best to support the Japanese defenders in Guangdong Province.
But no matter what conspiracies and tricks the Japanese are using.
Ye Qingshan was not afraid. He firmly believed that he had a way to break through the devil's tricks one by one.
"Commander, we are not the ones who have made the greatest contribution in this battle.
We just flew a little further.
The ones who deserve the most credit should be the brothers from the second team."
Meng Jifei shook his head and said.
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan nodded slightly: "You are right.
That’s settled then. Team Two deserves the most credit for this battle.
But you guys did a great job.
This is your contribution and it cannot be erased."
"By the way, have you seen Leng Tiancheng's fighter plane?
The rescue team on the front line never found his parachuting location.
I don’t know where that guy flew to.”
Ye Qingshan looked at Meng Jifei and asked.
The rescue teams on the front line have been doing their best to rescue the aviation pilots who parachuted from the sky.
Even at Chaozhou Airport, Ye Qingshan was always paying attention to the progress of rescuing these pilots.
Many pilots survived thanks to the search and rescue efforts of the rescue teams.
But Ye Qingshan never received any news that the rescue team had found Leng Tiancheng.
This made Ye Qingshan feel a little worried.
At this time, when Meng Jifei heard Ye Qingshan ask this, his face suddenly showed sadness and his eyes turned red.
"Commander, Lao Leng...died.
I saw it with my own eyes.
The fighter plane he was flying flew far to the west.
We were almost close to the border of Guangzhou, so it was normal that our search and rescue team could not find the place where he crashed."
Meng Jifei told Ye Qingshan the truth.
Ye Qingshan, who had originally had a relaxed look on his face, froze instantly after hearing this and remained silent for a long time.
It was not until half a day later that Ye Qingshan cursed in a deep voice: "This stinky boy is really not trustworthy.
Promise me you'll survive."
Ye Qingshan was also very sad at the loss of a great general.
"Xiao Wusheng, go get the map."
After a while, the young warrior came to Ye Qingshan with a map.
Ye Qingshan spread out the map, looked at Meng Jifei and said, "Point out the location where Leng Tiancheng crashed.
I asked Deputy Commander Wu to send a telegram, asking him to send an elite assault team to infiltrate.
Bring back Leng Tiancheng’s body.”
"Even if he died, his body couldn't fall into the hands of the Japanese.
Let’s take him home!”
"Yes!"
Meng Jifei's eyes were red as he looked at the map carefully.
After a moment, he pointed to a group of mountains between Yangcheng and Echeng and said, "It should be in this area.
I can't determine the exact location.
But our search and rescue team only needs to arrive at this area and find the local people.
It should be easy to find the site of the old cold crash.
His plane crashed and exploded, causing a huge noise.
The surrounding villagers will definitely find it.”
"Xiao Wusheng, go send a telegram to Deputy Commander Wu.
Tell him that this mission must be accomplished at any cost.”
Ye Qingshan said to the young martial artist next to him with a cold face.
"Yes, Commander."
The young warrior put away the map and turned to send a telegram.
“Commander, I request to be in the air to cooperate with this mission.
I want to personally welcome Lao Leng home."
Meng Jifei volunteered.
"Yes, Commander.
Our captain is right, let us go."
Other pilots also shouted.
"But you just came back..."
Ye Qingshan originally wanted to refuse.
After all, pilots like Meng Jifei had flown all the way from Lashio Airport and had just experienced a fierce air battle.
It must be extremely tiring.
At this time, it would be a bit unreasonable to let them continue to fly the plane into the air.
"Commander, we are not tired."
“Yes, we are not tired.
We will personally welcome Deputy Captain Leng home."
Everyone shouted.
Leng Tiancheng’s sacrifice not only made Ye Qingshan and Meng Jifei sad, but also made all the pilots of the aviation team very sad.
As the most senior figure in Ye Qingshan’s aviation team.
Leng Tiancheng's prestige among these pilots is second only to Ye Qingshan and Meng Jifei.
In fact, many pilots in the aviation team were taught by Leng Tiancheng personally.
Ye Qingshan looked at everyone with an eager gaze and nodded immediately.
"Okay, since you want to go, then go ahead."
"Thank you, Commander!"
Anyway, at this time the Japanese flying regiment in Yangcheng had been annihilated.
There were no more Japanese Zero fighters in the sky to pose a threat to them.
Meng Jifei and his team took off in their fighter planes and were now safe.
In this situation, Ye Qingshan felt embarrassed to refuse Meng Jifei and others' request.
Moreover, Ye Qingshan also felt that the sacrificed Leng Tiancheng deserved this treatment.
Immediately, Meng Jifei brought a group of pilots back to the airport.
Meng Jifei shouted to the airport ground staff: "Refuel immediately!"
"what!"
The ground crew were a little confused.
They thought the battle was over and were preparing to inspect the fighter planes.
“Ah what, come on.
We will do the maintenance when we come back."
Meng Jifei glared and shouted.
However, to be on the safe side, he added: "If a fighter plane is hit by too many bullets, don't take off."
He tried his best to fly undamaged fighter jets into the air to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Unfortunately, in the previous fierce air battle with the Japanese Zero fighter group.
There were only twelve fighter planes whose fuselages were still intact and not seriously damaged.
The other fighter planes almost all had bullet holes on their fuselages and wings.
In the end, Meng Jifei selected twelve pilots and flew these twelve relatively intact fighter jets into the air.
Fly to the location where Leng Tiancheng crashed into the plane.
"Send a message to Deputy Commander Wu and tell him.
I have solved all the troubles in heaven for them.
Let them immediately launch a final attack on the remaining Japanese troops on the Echeng defense line.
After annihilating them all, take over Goose City.
Open up a channel for us to attack Yangcheng."
After watching Meng Jifei and others fly away, Ye Qingshan immediately gave orders to the ground offensive forces on the front line.
