Zhang Yunfei's truck and off-road vehicle were temporarily parked in Guojiayu. The other two platoons of his guard company also rode over to join him early this morning.

Originally, Zhang Yunfei wanted to meet Commander Liu of the 129th Division, but seeing that it was not the same as before, he had to give up. When he had the chance in the future, he would talk to Commander Liu and talk to him well...

Zhang Yunfei and his party had nearly 200 people, accompanied by Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, and several Eighth Route Army guards, rode eastward toward Jinsha Town on the east side of Taihang Mountain.

Zhang Yunfei's large group of people followed the rugged mountain road, and they did not leave the Taihang Mountains until the next day was almost noon. They went out of the Taihang Mountains more than ten kilometers ahead, and the destination of this time was Jinsha Town.

Now, although it is still in the mountainous area, the mountain is significantly smoother, and the surrounding mountains are no longer those steep mountains, but just some low hills.

Comrade Xiao Zhengguang had been to Jinsha Town before and was quite familiar with the road. Seeing that he was about to leave the Taihang Mountains, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang smiled slightly and said enthusiastically: "Comrade Zhang, we will go a little more than ten kilometers ahead, and it will be Jinsha Town."

Zhang Yunfei nodded, then said loudly: "Everyone speed up, we will try to arrive at Jinsha Town before 12 o'clock. Then I will treat you to a big meal."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers burst into laughter, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers next to them also laughed.

Yesterday, everyone rushed for a day and basically slept in the open air. Last night, they stayed in a small village for one night. Many soldiers ate the dry food they carried with them.

Comrade Xiao Zhengguang next to him saw that Zhang Yunfei was preparing to treat him, and immediately said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, you will not have to spend money. Our New Fifth Regiment of the 129th Division stationed in Jinsha Town is probably already preparing meals."

Zhang Yunfei smiled and said enthusiastically: "Chief of Staff Xiao, today we are meeting the comrades of the New Fifth Regiment for the first time. Today, I will pay for the money and ask the soldiers to buy a few big fat pigs from the homes of the nearby people, and let them have a good meal together."

Upon hearing this, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang hurriedly said, "Commander-General Zhang, this is not possible. You are guests, why are you embarrassed to ask you to pay for a treat?"

Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department of the 36th Army, smiled and said to Comrade Xiao Zhengguang: "Comrade Zhengguang, don't save money for our Commander-in-Chief. Our Commander-in-Chief is not short of this ocean."

Deng Wenping said the truth completely. Zhang Yunfei is not short of these oceans. Before coming to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Zhang Yunfei brought hundreds of oceans. Now, these oceans are placed on several of his personal guards. In addition, Zhang Yunfei also carries a few gold bars on his body.

But today Zhang Yunfei is preparing to treat him. The main purpose is two.

The first purpose is that Zhang Yunfei believes that it is indeed not easy for the Eighth Route Army soldiers to fight against Japan, and the conditions are arduous. His accompanying guards have worked hard with him for a day or two. Now that he has reached Jinsha Town, everyone can improve their food so that these Eighth Route Army soldiers can have a good meal.

The second purpose is that Zhang Yunfei is planning to build an airport in Jinsha Town, and may garrison troops here in the future. In the future, the soldiers of the 36th Army stationed here will spend some time with the Eighth Route Army soldiers here. Now, it is just right to invite everyone to have a meal to promote their relationship.

Comrade Xiao Zhengguang saw Comrade Deng Wenping say this, and said gratefully: "Then thank you Commander-in-Chief Zhang. Today our soldiers are also very involved in Commander-in-Chief Zhang's official position."

As the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang knew the situation of his troops. Nowadays, the soldiers can only barely eat enough. This is because the 36th Army supported a lot of food from the Eighth Route Army, otherwise many soldiers would have to starve.

Although the soldiers can barely eat enough now, the food standards are not high and it is difficult to eat a meal a month. Today, Commander-in-Chief Zhang treats him, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang also wants to take this opportunity to let the soldiers of the New Fifth Regiment have a good meal.

After hearing Comrade Xiao Zhengguang's words, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, and then said loudly: "Comrades, hurry up, everyone." After that, Zhang Yunfei grabbed the horse's belly and rode his horse forward.

When the rest of the people saw Zhang Yunfei taking the lead, everyone followed suit. The terrain here gradually became smoother and the road was much more spacious than the mountain roads in the Taihang Mountains, which was just right for riding horses and galloping.

Not long after, everyone gradually left the mountainous area. In front, looking around, there was a flat plain. This plain could not be seen at first sight. It seemed that the North China Plain was ahead.

Some villages and houses began to appear on both sides of the road. Two or three kilometers ahead, there was a large area of ​​houses, which seemed to be Jinsha Town.

Comrade Xiao Zhengguang next to Zhang Yunfei also introduced: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, Jinsha Town is not far ahead. Let's go to the New Fifth Regiment's headquarters first."

The New Fifth Regiment's headquarters is not in the town. At present, the New Fifth Regiment's headquarters and the First Battalion are stationed together, just less than two kilometers north of the town, a small village with dozens of families.

In this small village, a large ancestral hall was built as the headquarters of the New Fifth Regiment. When Zhang Yunfei and others were about to reach the headquarters of the New Fifth Regiment, at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Commander Sun of the New Fifth Regiment and several Eighth Route Army soldiers were already greeted by the door.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei and others coming over, although Commander Sun did not know Zhang Yunfei, Commander Sun knew his deputy chief of staff Comrade Xiao Zhengguang. The young man next to his deputy chief of staff must be Commander-in-Chief Zhang.

Commander Sun, with his chief of staff, political commissar, deputy chief of the regiment, walked quickly to Zhang Yunfei and shouted excitedly: "Hello Commander-in-Chief Zhang! Hello Chief of Staff Xiao! Hello everyone!"

Xiao Zhengguang, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, smiled and said, "Hello, Captain Sun, everyone has been waiting for a long time."

Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly and said cheerfully: "Hello comrades, thank you for your hard work."

After a few greetings from everyone, Leader Sun welcomed everyone into the regiment headquarters. Fortunately, the regiment headquarters was relatively spacious, and there was a large courtyard in the entrance. Zhang Yunfei's entourage also followed him in. Naturally, everyone's horses were led by soldiers from the New Fifth Regiment. Nearly two hundred people stood in the yard, and it didn't seem crowded at all.

Of course, Zhang Yunfei's entourage also received warmly by comrades from the Eighth Route Army. Captain Sun brought Zhang Yunfei, Deng Wenping, Liu Xing, Xiao Zhengguang and others into his command center, the main hall of the ancestral hall.

Comrade Xiao Zhengguang looked around and praised: "Captain Sun, I remember that I came to your regiment once two months ago. There were a lot of people last time. This time, there were a lot of fewer soldiers like this. Do the soldiers have tasks?"

Commander Sun quickly replied respectfully: "Chief, we received a telegram from the headquarters the day before yesterday, and the headquarters ordered us to choose a location near Jinsha Town and build an airport as soon as possible. Most of our soldiers have gone to build the airport, and less than half of the soldiers at home are there."

Upon hearing this, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang suddenly realized that two days ago, Xiao Zhengguang heard the deputy commander-in-chief mention it, but he did not expect that the soldiers would act so quickly.

When Zhang Yunfei saw that many soldiers were going to build the airport, he was secretly happy about the new Fifth Regiment's quick action.

Zhang Yunfei asked with concern: "Captain Sun, how is the airport being built now? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei cared about him so much, Commander Sun was a little excited and immediately said respectfully: "Chief, the airport is progressing relatively smoothly. However, the soldiers have never built the airport. Only a few soldiers have seen the Japanese airport before. Everyone was a little unsure in the construction process center. I don't know if the construction meets the requirements. In addition, we don't have much cement, so we can only build a cement runway."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei said, "Captain Sun, you just need to level the ground. After leveling the ground, our planes can take off and land. At that time, our 36th Group Army will send technicians and experts to guide you."

"Really! That's great." Captain Sun said in surprise.

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and continued, "As for cement, this is indeed a problem. Captain Sun, is there no cement nearby?"

Commander Sun hesitated and said, "Chief, there are thousands of tons of cement in the county town in the distance. These cements were used by the Kuomintang army to build fortifications. However, in the first half of this year, after the Japanese occupied the county town, these cements fell into the hands of the Japanese. The Japanese also built some fortifications outside the county town, but according to reliable information, the Japanese only used half of these cements."

There is so much cement in the county town. Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei was delighted. Zhang Yunfei had already made the worst plan. If he couldn't get cement nearby, he could only use a plane to transport cement from his base.

Since there is so much cement in the county town, just take it over. If it is not enough, transport it by plane and transport it a little more. I guess it would be enough to build a small airport.

Zhang Yunfei's plan is that after completion, Jinsha Town Airport can accommodate 20 or 30 aircraft and have two or three runways. After all, this place is just a transitional airport and a transit station for transporting materials.

So, Zhang Yunfei said seriously: "Captain Sun, since there is cement in the county town, that's great. Let's knock down the county town and take the cement over to build our airport."

Upon hearing this, Commander Sun was very surprised and said with some uncertainty: "Chief, there is a Japanese infantry corps and a regiment of puppet troops stationed in the county. Although there are several regiments of our Eighth Route Army on the vast periphery and in the countryside of the county, we all lack the weapons to attack the city, so it is difficult to defeat the county."

Zhang Yunfei laughed and said proudly: "Captain Sun, there are only more than 3,000 Japanese devils. I will destroy them in a few days."

Captain Sun opened his mouth so hard that he couldn't react for a long time. Just over three thousand Japanese devils? That's more than three thousand Japanese devils, not more than three hundred Japanese devils.
