In the evening, outside Jining City.

An hour ago, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers from the 6th Infantry Division of the 36th Army had already arrived at the city. Now the main traffic roads on all sides of Jining City are controlled by the soldiers. On the grassland outside Jining City, many soldiers are building field tents. Tonight, everyone will camp outside the city.

Not far outside the city, on the grassland in the east, the command center of the Sixth Infantry Division had been built. Several regiment commanders, deputy division commanders and political commissars of the division were already in the command center. Everyone was in a good mood when they saw that they had successfully controlled Jining City. An hour ago, they received another telegram from the enemy's front command center 30 kilometers away, and the division commander Chu Tianming would come in person.

Everyone was busy and greetings in the command center. The entire command center was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, without the slightest tension of war. There were only a few hundred puppet troops in Jining City, which was no longer a concern.

At this time, a soldier came in and reported that Commander Chu's car would arrive within five minutes, so everyone immediately went out to greet him. Chu Tianming's off-road vehicle, covered in night, was slowly coming from a distance, and the soldiers next to him saluted. As soon as the car stopped in front of everyone, Chu Tianming personally pushed open the car door and got out quickly.

"Hello, commander!" everyone next to him shouted loudly.

"Hello comrades!" Chu Tianming stepped forward and shook hands with everyone one by one. Then everyone surrounded his own division commander and entered the temporary division command headquarters. As soon as everyone was seated, Chu Tianming said happily to everyone: "Comrades, the armored registra of the Cavalry Division and the Armored Division, with the cooperation of the Flight Brigade, has basically wiped out the Japanese cavalry 1st Brigade, and the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander Ying Senxiao was also annihilated by the Flight Brigade."

As soon as Chu Tianming's words finished, everyone cheered, not as rigorous as usual. Everyone's cheers stopped, Chu Tianming looked at everyone with a smile, and then said: "Comrades, the brothers have completed the task of the commander-in-chief deployment, and our division has also come to the city of Jining. This is the first great victory since the establishment of our 36th Army. Tomorrow morning, the commander-in-chief will visit Jining City in person and participate in everyone's entry ceremony."

"Oh, it's so good, so excited, the commander-in-chief is here!" Everyone shouted happily.

Chu Tianming raised his hand and signaled everyone to keep quiet. He still said, "Comrades, we will enter the city tomorrow, but the puppet army in the city will be destroyed. The commander-in-chief instructed to send an infantry regiment into the city tonight. If the puppet army surrenders, it will be disarmed and controlled. If the puppet army resists stubbornly, it will be eliminated."

"Okay! I will definitely complete the commander-in-chief's instructions." Several main team leaders replied with a loud bang.

Just as Chu Tianming was about to make arrangements to enter the city, the outside of the command center suddenly became noisy, and Chu Tianming frowned. The deputy division commander, political commissar and several regiment commanders were also a little uneasy. At this time, the soldiers from the guard battalion of the division headquarters reported loudly at the door: "Report to the leader, several puppet army company platoon leaders in Jining City came to surrender and said they wanted to see the division commander."

When the puppet army was mentioned, the puppet army came to surrender, and everyone's faces suddenly relaxed again. Chu Tianming also said to the guard soldiers with great enthusiasm: "Bring them in!"

Several puppet army platoon leaders were brought in by soldiers. There were only five puppet army members. When they saw the military rank, they should be two company commanders and three platoon leaders. Several puppet army soldiers looked a little panicked, standing there with their heads hanging down, not daring to make a sound.

Chu Tianming looked at the puppet soldiers and said, "I am Chu Tianming, the commander of this division. Just tell me what you have!"

Several puppet soldiers knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed several times before saying loudly: "Sir, we are here to surrender. We used to work hard for the Japanese devils, but we just made a living. We have never killed the Chinese people."

"We will naturally find out whether you harmed the people before. Now our army is tens of thousands of troops, and we are already at the city. If you surrender, you should also have some sincerity to surrender." Chu Tianming replied seriously.

"Sir, let us tell you all the situation in the city we know, and we can lead your army into the city. We guarantee that our soldiers will not resist." A puppet army company commander said anxiously. Seeing Chu Tianming nodded, the puppet army company commander told all the situation in the city like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

In Jining City, there was a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment, each with thousands of people. The commander of this puppet legion was Wu Deshui. Because there was a scar on his face, everyone called him Wu Dachuangzi. Wu Dachuangzi usually bullies the people and works hard for the Japanese devils, and does a lot of things that harm the world.

Since the Japanese cavalry received the order to retreat today, the cavalry regiment was taken away by the Japanese. The only remaining in the city was Wu Dacazi and an infantry regiment. Many soldiers in this infantry regiment were frightened to run away when they saw the Japanese. Many of them left behind, became deserters, and fled around. At present, there are only about five or six hundred puppet soldiers left.

Wu Daccazi is a greedy person who is afraid of death and loves money as his life. After the Japanese evacuated, they also wanted to escape. However, Wu Daccazi had a wife from six houses, with more than a dozen large and small properties, and there were a lot of gold, silver and fineness. It took a lot of time to pack up. When Wu Daccazi packed up the money, tens of thousands of soldiers from the 36th Army had already begun to siege the city. Wu Daccazi couldn't escape. Now Wu Daccazi was in the city, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and was in panic all day long.

After hearing what these puppet soldiers said, Chu Tianming said solemnly: "Captain 1!"

"Here!" A burly middle-aged man stood up and replied loudly.

"You gather the team immediately and take your regiment into the city overnight to capture Wu Dacazi alive. In addition, bring these puppet troops into the city. No puppet soldiers who voluntarily surrender will be killed and will be controlled first."

The commander of the regiment gave Chu Tianming a solemn military salute, and then said confidently: "Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed." After saying that, he turned around and left the command center, gathered the team, and immediately entered the city.

The next morning, Datong City was still as quiet as usual. In the airport outside Datong, a small transport plane had already parked on the runway and had made all preparations to take off at any time.

Zhang Yunfei, who was wearing majestic clothes, came to Datong Airport surrounded by several guards. The three golden stars on Zhang Yunfei's shoulders shone brightly, and the new military uniforms on his body set off Zhang Yunfei's tall and mighty figure. Gao Zhihang, who was greeted at the airport gate, saw that Zhang Yunfei had gotten out of the car and walked, immediately trotted a few steps, stood at the sight of Zhang Yunfei saluting, and said loudly: "Hello, chief, welcome to Datong Airport, the captain of the Flight Brigade Gao Zhihang reported to you."

When Zhang Yunfei saw Gao Zhihang who was in good spirits, he smiled kindly and said, "Zhihang, how are the plane ready? Let's fly to Jining immediately."

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the plane is ready and can take off at any time." Gao Zhihang replied.

"Let's go to the airport."

Gao Zhihang led Zhang Yunfei to the airport runway and walked towards the transport plane that had been prepared. This was a transport plane that was seized by the Japanese before. The plane was relatively new, but now it has been painted with beautiful camouflage paint and is lying quietly on the runway.

Arriving next to the plane, Zhang Yunfei quickly walked into the cabin. After entering the cabin, Zhang Yunfei roughly looked inside the plane. The inside of the plane was obviously modified and was relatively warm and comfortable. The cabin was not big, so he could only sit in a dozen people. However, Zhang Yunfei had not many entourages, only a few guards.

Taking a plane to Jining was also Zhang Yunfei's sudden idea last night. Originally, Zhang Yunfei wanted to take an off-road vehicle to Jining, but it took several hours to take a bus, while taking a plane only took half an hour. The only inconvenience to take a plane was that Jining City did not have a special airport and could only land on the grassland outside the city.

Although the grassland also has a very flat and wide place, it still has certain dangers. At first, everyone opposed it and persuaded Zhang Yunfei to go by car. In the end, Zhang Yunfei still convinced everyone. However, despite this, Chief of Staff Zuo was still worried and called Gao Zhihang specifically to pay attention to safety and protect Zhang Yunfei.

Today, Gao Zhihang was flying the plane. Zhang Yunfei had originally thought about flying a plane. As Zhang Yunfei's status grew higher and higher, he had not shot a gun for a long time and had not fired a plane for a long time.

However, Zhang Yunfei's request to fly the plane himself was still "rejected" by Gao Zhihang. Gao Zhihang sincerely persuaded Zhang Yunfei to give up the idea of ​​flying the plane himself. Zhang Yunfei had no choice but to become a passenger.

After everyone entered the plane, they closed the cabin doors, Gao Zhihang started the plane, and the plane began to taxi slowly. The two piston engines drove the propeller to rotate rapidly, making a deafening roar, which made everyone feel a little uncomfortable. The aircraft of this era are far inferior to those of later generations in terms of comfort.

The plane was taxiing faster and faster. After taxiing for hundreds of meters, the plane finally left the runway, flew towards the blue sky, and flew farther and higher, and then turned into a small black dot, slowly disappearing into the sky.

Outside Jining City, on a wide and flat grassland, Chu Tianming and a large group of officers and soldiers of the Sixth Infantry Division were anxiously waiting for Zhang Yunfei's plane to arrive. Last night, Chu Tianming received a telegram from the Group Army Command, saying that this morning, the commander-in-chief would take the plane to Jining, almost thinking that he had read it wrong. You must know that Jining has no airport yet, so how will the plane land then?

To this end, Chu Tianming also specially generated a power back to the Group Army Command for confirmation. Not long after, the Group Army Command called again to inform that the commander-in-chief was indeed going to Jining tomorrow morning, and asked Chu Tianming and others to choose a flat and wide place as the place where the plane landed and put obvious signs on it.
Chapter completed!
