Chapter 224 Back to Datong
The battle ended. The cavalry regiment was riding on the war horse and roared to the sky. Many soldiers also raised their arms and shouted, "This battle was really exciting. Hundreds of Japanese devils were chopped down by everyone like radishes. They all saw them all in just ten minutes, which really made people feel refreshed.
Seeing that everyone had finished cheering, the cavalry commander shouted: "Brothers, clean up the battlefield and take away everything you can."
"Captain, what should I do if the Japanese devil's body?" a soldier asked loudly.
"You stupid guy",
The cavalry commander laughed and scolded, and several soldiers next to him laughed kindly. The cavalry commander turned around and said, "The corpses of the Japanese are piled up in a pile. Let's see if there is still gasoline in the Japanese car. Sprinkle gasoline in all the Japanese corpses and burn them all."
Without the division of labor by his own regiment commander, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment began to clean the battlefield in an orderly manner. All the Japanese corpses were carried to the roadside and gasoline was poured on to burn the corpses.
Some soldiers collected the weapons scattered on the ground with excitement on their faces, and the remaining bullets on the Japanese were taken down by no other left. The Japanese had six or seven hundred Type 38 rifles, and there were a lot of crooked machine guns, with more than fifty ones. Except for a few of them, most of these equipment were intact.
Looking at so many weapons and equipment, the Cavalry Regiment Commander Kong's eyes shone brightly and his face was as smiling as a Maitreya Buddha.
Today, not only the Kong regiment of the Cavalry Regiment smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, but many other officers were smiling, including Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 59th Army.
Zhang Zizhong, who had just sent a telegram to the Fifth War Zone, was laughing in his dreams at night. He didn't expect that his sworn brother was so powerful that he could destroy the Japanese troops of tens of thousands of people in just one day.
............
The next morning, the weather at Yichang Airport was clear, and a large transport plane had already stopped on the runway and could take off at any time. Today is the day when Zhang Yunfei returned to Datong. Zhang Zizhong and the senior executives of the 59th Army came to the airport to see Zhang Yunfei off.
Zhang Yunfei was about to leave, and Zhang Zizhong felt very reluctant to leave, but knew that Zhang Yunfei was busy with military affairs, so Zhang Zizhong did not force him to stay. Instead, he brought more than a dozen senior officers from the 59th Army to Yichang Airport to see Zhang off.
Zhang Zizhong held Zhang Yunfei's hand, his eyes were a little red. He said reluctantly: "Brother, I don't know how long it will take to see you again today. I really can't bear to leave."
"Brother, I will come to see you when I have time." Zhang Yunfei comforted.
Zhang Zizhong knew that Zhang Yunfei was comforting himself. As the commander-in-chief of the group army, he did not mean that he would come to Yichang when he came to Yichang. Zhang Zizhong tightly held Zhang Yunfei's hand, but said repeatedly: "Okay.{http:

Friends upload updates} Welcome to Yichang often to check it out.”
The two exchanged a few more greetings at the airport, and Zhang Yunfei shook hands with more than a dozen senior commanders of the 59th Army who were seeing him off one by one. Then, in the reluctance of Zhang Zizhong, accompanied by Liu Xing, the special forces team, Zhang Yunfei resolutely walked forward and boarded the plane without looking back.
Today was Gao Zhihang. Today, not only Gao Zhihang flew himself, but also four Mustang fighters and an early warning aircraft were escorting. Under the reluctance of the 59th Army, the plane Zhang Yunfei was riding soared into the air, flying further and further away, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.
It was not until several minutes after the plane left Yichang Airport that Zhang Yunfei gradually felt a little wet in the corners of his eyes. Just now, although Zhang Yunfei was very moved and reluctant to leave, he kept a faint smile on his face. It was not until this time that he wrote his emotions on his face.
This sworn brother of his is really nothing to say to him. Zhang Yunfei knew that he had added a lot of help in this world.
At noon, Datong Airport.
There were already many people who were welcoming the apron, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of General Staff of the 36th Army, Comrade Deng Wenping, Director of the General Political Department, Comrade Liu Dazhu, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Comrade Fang Zheng, Deputy Director of the General Political Department, and some commanders of the division and brigades in Datong.
Everyone stood neatly on the airport with a smile and waited patiently. The current Datong Airport has been built into a large airport, with a huge apron and hangar. At the same time, hundreds of planes can be stopped. The airport's ten straight and spacious runways can accommodate ten planes to take off at the same time.
Just as everyone was waiting patiently, a correspondent from Datong Airport ran quickly, stood attentive in front of everyone, and said respectfully: "Dear leaders, in another ten minutes, the commander-in-chief's plane will land at the airport."
Seeing that Zhang Yunfei's plane was about to land at the airport, everyone stood up and waited respectfully. In less than ten minutes, the roar of the plane came from the sky, and a large transport plane appeared in everyone's sight. Behind the transport plane, there were four petite Mustang transport planes, and an equally huge early warning plane.
The plane Zhang Yunfei was riding slowly lowered the altitude and slowed down and began to land at the runway. As soon as the tires on the plane landing gear contacted the runway, it made a sharp and sharp friction sound. The plane landed safely. After slid on the runway for thousands of meters, it slowly stopped not far away in front of everyone.
The ground crew at Datong Airport quickly put the gangway on the plane rack, while the special forces Liu Xing personally opened the cabin door for Zhang Yunfei, and then followed Zhang Yunfei silently.
With a faint smile on his face, Zhang Yunfei's familiar figure immediately appeared at the cabin door. Zhang Yunfei, who walked out of the plane, waved his hands with the people who were greeting him, and then calmly walked down the gangway.
Everyone took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhang Yunfei with a smile on their faces. Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of staff, first held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly and said on behalf of everyone: "Welcome the Commander-in-Chief back to Datong. We have been waiting for each day and night these days, and we hope that Commander-in-Chief will come back soon."
"Thank you all for your hard work." Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly.
Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, also held Zhang Yunfei's hand with joy and said, "Commander-in-Chief, how many battles you won in Jingzhou have made us excited. I really regretted it at the beginning. I didn't go with you, so we can only enjoy our work at home."
After Deng Wenping said that, everyone, including Zhang Yunfei, burst into laughter.
At this time, the Chief of Staff Zuo said again: "Commander-in-Chief, this time we not only destroyed the Japanese devils' Hata Detachment and restored Jingzhou, but also left the Third Infantry Division in Jingchu, just like inserting a sharp blade into the Japanese Central Huafang Army, a sharp blade that can kill Japanese devils at any time."
Zhang Yunfei secretly admired Chief of Staff Zuo's strategic vision. He deserved to be a graduate of Huangpu first class, and he could see the importance of leaving the Third Infantry Division in Jingzhou at a glance.
Zhang Yunfei praised: "Chief Left, he is really wise and has a torch. Our Third Infantry Division is a tiger entrenched next to the Tenth Japanese Army."
Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, also joked: "Commander-in-Chief, despite this, I think Chiang Kai-shek, who is far away in Chongqing, should thank us well. We guarded the Dongda Gate of Chongqing for free. If the Japanese want to attack Chongqing, they must first attack Jingzhou."
As soon as Comrade Deng Wenping finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. The atmosphere was very warm and harmonious. Zhang Yunfei also joked: "When you have the chance, we have to ask Chiang Chiang to get some salary for the gatekeeper."
After everyone laughed, Zhang Yunfei held Liu Dazhu's hand again. Liu Dazhu said excitedly: "Commander-in-Chief, when I saw you back to Datong, I feel much more at ease. I think the Japanese in the north dare not act rashly."
When Zhang Yunfei held Fang Zheng's hand, Fang Zheng also said excitedly: "Commander-in-Chief, you are back. I still have a lot of work to report to you. Now the situation in various factories in Datong is in great shape. I will report to you in a few days."
Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, patted Fang Zheng’s strong shoulder and said, “Old Fang, thank you for your hard work!”
Zhang Yunfei exchanged a few greetings with everyone, shook hands with everyone who came to greet them one by one, and finally, surrounded by everyone, walked to an off-road vehicle, boarded the off-road vehicle that had been prepared, and headed into Datong City.
On the off-road vehicle, looking at the familiar scenes on both sides, Zhang Yunfei was filled with emotion. What he saw a few days ago, whether in Yichang or Jingzhou, was far worse than the prosperity of Datong, and people's lives there were much more difficult.
Zhang Yunfei thought to himself that it seemed that he still had a long way to go, his anti-Japanese war career had just begun, and the great mountains and rivers of the motherland still needed to be restored. Zhang Yunfei secretly made up his mind to drive away the Japanese and build a strong and prosperous Eastern power.
Chief Zuo, who was sitting next to Zhang Yunfei, saw Zhang Yunfei's expression full of emotion, and he also vaguely guessed some of the thoughts in Zhang Yunfei's mind. Chief Zuo, who had been working with Zhang Yunfei for several months, also thought a lot in his mind. It was not until the convoy reached the Datong Command that he came to his senses.
When several off-traffic vehicles reached the command department entrance, several soldiers on guard immediately came over diligently to open the car door for Zhang Yunfei, stood attentively and saluted, shouting loudly: "Hello Commander-in-Chief!"
Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly and replied to everyone with a military salute.
Compared to the calmness of the soldiers standing guard at the door, many soldiers in the command center could not calm down. Several soldiers immediately cheered happily inside the command center, "The commander-in-chief is back, the commander-in-chief is back..."
Zhang Yunfei only smiled faintly when he showed everyone, and then he strode into the familiar command center and entered the gate of the command center. Many soldiers inside were very happy to see Zhang Yunfei, and saluted Zhang Yunfei repeatedly and shouted "Hello, Chief!"
Some civilians also ran out, and some communications soldiers and confidential personnel from the confidential office were no exception. They stood attentively in front of Zhang Yunfei and gave a military salute. Everyone's behavior was mainly to see Commander-in-Chief Zhang, who had not seen for many days and was beloved in their hearts.
Just as Zhang Yunfei was returning the gift to everyone, a crisp voice sounded in Zhang Yunfei's ears, "Hello, Chief!" This voice was very beautiful and familiar. Zhang Yunfei followed the voice and saw Lin Yuxin, who had not seen for many days, wearing military uniform, looking heroic and handsome, looking at him with a smile.
