Chapter 1378 Quzhou Airport
Quzhou Airport
Quzhou Airport.
Quzhou Airport was first built in the Beiyang period and was first built by Zhejiang warlord Lu Yongxiang. However, its specifications are low and it can only take off and land fighter jets.
After the September 18th Incident, the National Government built an aviation base around Nanjing, and Quzhou Airport was expanded for the first time, but it only expanded the surrounding environment.
It was not until the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War that Quzhou Airport carried out a second expansion, extending the airport runway from the original 500 meters to the current 800 meters, and widening the width to fifty meters.
Nowadays, ordinary bombers and transport aircraft can be taken off and landed.
At this moment, a jeep was parked on one side of the main road that had been widened to 800 meters long.
There were more than a dozen people standing in front of the jeep, surrounded by a group of people in the middle of the National Army.
This general of the national army was not someone else, but Yu Liangzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone who had just taken office. Surrounded by him were several senior generals from the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone and officials from the Quzhou area.
Seeing the sun rising higher and higher in the east sky, there was still no movement in the sky, a hint of worry could not help but surge on Yu Liangzhen's face.
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Liangzhen finally couldn't hold back.
Yu Liangzhen said: "Brother Si'an, what time is it now?"
Tao Guang next to him raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's already ten o'clock in the morning."
"It's ten o'clock?" Yu Liangzhen's face became even more worried and he whispered, "It's been two hours."
According to the agreement, the Hawk-3 trainer plane driven by Zhong Yi should have flew to Quzhou more than two hours ago, that is, at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Yes, this time, in order to hurry, Zhong Yi did not drive, but decided to fly the plane.
Although Yu Liangzhen strongly opposed it, it was useless. No one could stop what Zhong Yi decided, so the only thing he could do was to help Zhong Yi coordinate the Ninth War Zone and let the Ninth War Zone arrange the maintenance and refueling of Hengyang Airport.
But even so, Yu Liangzhen was still very worried, worried that Zhong Yi would have an accident.
By now, Yu Liangzhen’s reliance on Zhong Yi is beyond reliance. Not only Yinjiang, but also for the entire Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone, it is completely different from Zhong Yi and without Zhong Yi. With Zhong Yi, Yu Liangzhen would have confidence in his heart, but without Zhong Yi, Yu Liangzhen would have no confidence to fight the Japanese invaders.
Tao Guang comforted him, "Don't worry, the chief officer, maybe it's because the cheers from Hengyang have been delayed."
"I hope." Yu Liangzhen breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "By the way, has the county magistrate of Quzhou not arrived yet?"
"It's here, the job has arrived." A middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed top hat quickly trotted forward, nodded and bowed to Yu Liangzhen, and said, "Your job Cao Yinglong has met Chief Yu."
"County Magistrate Cao." Yu Liangzhen said, "Have you received the official letter?"
"I received it, I have received it." Cao Yinglong hurriedly said, "The work has been arranged. Tomorrow, no, as long as Chief Yu gave the order, construction can start today."
"That's good." Yu Liangzhen said, "but don't hurry today."
Before he finished speaking, a buzzing roar suddenly sounded in the western sky.
A sharp-eyed guard immediately pointed at the sky and shouted: "Look, our plane!"
Yu Liangzhen and a group of senior generals looked up quickly and saw an airplane with the blue sky and sun logo painted under the wings had already penetrated from the thin clouds and was coming to the airport.
In an instant, Yu Liangzhen breathed a sigh of relief and Zhong Yi arrived.
In less than a moment, the plane flew over Quzhou Airport. It first flew around the airport twice, then aimed at the airport runway and plunged down.
After more than ten seconds, the plane was parked steadily on the runway.
Then, before the airport ground crew stepped forward, the plane's flight was turned on, and the pilot wearing a flying cap came out of the cabin and jumped down on the wings.
After landing, the pilot took off his flight hat again. Who else could it be if Zhong Yi wasn't?
"Zi Ren, my brother Zi Ren!" Yu Liangzhen stepped forward and shook hands with Zhong Yi, and finally complained, "You really don't worry, why do you have to fly back?"
Senior generals such as Tao Guang and officials from Quzhou saw it and were inexplicably envious.
I am afraid that this is the only one who can get such courtesy from Chief Yu in the entire Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone.
"Let the chief worry for Bei Yi." Zhong Yi smiled slightly, stood at attention again, and respectfully paid attention to Yu Liangzhen. The etiquette must be fulfilled.
Yu Liangzhen replied to the ceremony and asked again: "Is there any problem along the way?"
"No problem." Zhong Yi said, "It was just that something happened when flying over western Hunan, so I spent some time during the maintenance of Hengyang Airport, which made the chief executive and his colleagues worry."
"It's fine." Yu Liangzhen said gladly, "It's fine when you come back."
Zhong Yi said again: "Master, time is tight, so let's not talk nonsense. Has the magistrate of Quzhou arrived?"
Yu Liangzhen turned around and greeted: "County Magistrate Cao?"
Quzhou County Magistrate Cao Yinglong hurried forward and said respectfully: "I am not in charge of Quzhou County Magistrate Cao Yinglong, and I have met General Zhong."
Zhong Yi said lightly, regardless of the airport, there were so many people there, so he started working directly: "County Magistrate Cao, you must have seen the official letter issued by the war zone. I just want to emphasize one thing now, time is very tight! The expansion of the airport must be completed within half a month!"
Cao Yinglong said with a sigh: "As long as the building materials are in place, there will be no problem for half a month!"
Yu Liangzhen said: "There is no problem with building materials. The wood and ash required for expansion are expected within three days! If a piece of wood or a ton of ash is missing at that time, County Mayor Cao, just call me Yu Liangzhen!"
Zhong Yi nodded and said to Yu Liangzhen: "Master, let's go to Longyou now?"
"Let's go now?" Yu Liangzhen said in surprise, "You have just driven a plane for seven or eight hours. Are you tired? Should you go to Quzhou County to rest for a day first, and let's go tomorrow?"
"No need, I'm not tired at all." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Besides, there is no time to rest now. The Japanese are about to launch the second Zhejiang-Fujian Battle. We must race against time to prepare for the war! Now we are delayed for a day, and when the war starts, thousands of people are likely to die more!"
"Zi Ren, you are right, let's go here." Yu Liangzhen nodded in horror and turned around and said, "Adminton Zhang, hurry up and drive the car, and let's go to Longyou." After that, he said to Cao Yinglong, "County Magistrate Cao, call Longyou County Office and ask them to prepare quickly and we will arrive in the afternoon!"
"Yes, yes." Cao Yinglong nodded repeatedly.
Chapter completed!
