Chapter 142 Flight Students
Suixi.
Looking at the donkey carts passing through his defense zone, Ma Hongbing asked Ma Hongkui beside him with a grim expression.
"How is this going?"
"Why were you able to bring back so much Japanese military equipment from Baotou?"
Ma Hongkui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I bought this with my own money! As you know, the recent war with the Communist bandits has been a bit unfavorable."
"Since you won't help me, I can only find a way to buy some weapons and equipment myself to strengthen the strength of the troops!"
"real or fake?"
Ma Hongbing looked at Ma Hongkui with suspicion.
"Of course it's true. This is the weapons and equipment of an entire army. Can the Japanese give it to me for free?"
Ma Hongkui defended himself confidently.
"makes sense!"
Ma Hongbing scratched his head, thinking that with the stingy nature of the Japanese, even if they wanted to win over Ma Hongbing, they would at most give him weapons and equipment for a division.
"I guess I misunderstood you."
Ma Hongbing said sincerely: "But I have no objection to you buying weapons to fight the Eighth Route Army, but don't collude with the Japanese, they are foreign enemies!"
"Do not worry!"
Ma Hongkui patted Ma Hongbing on the shoulder and said, "I know! I would never be a traitor!"
Ma Hongkui quickly obtained weapons and equipment, and immediately replaced the equipment of his 81st Army. He then sent them to Sanhe Town to support Ma Guangzong's 11th Army.
In order to unify the deployment of the two armies, he also let his son Ma Guojin be in charge of the command of this operation.
At the same time, the commander-in-chief, who was far away in Guyuan City, also got some special photos.
"These are photos taken by comrades from Baotou and Ningxia at the risk of their lives."
Chief of Staff Zhang Zhongxun pointed at the photo and the envelope in his hand and said, "That kid Ma Hongkui recently received assistance from the Japanese army, which gave him weapons and equipment for a division."
"A division?"
The commander-in-chief asked with a serious face: "Is there really a division?"
"They call it a division, but in fact they only have the equipment of a brigade. They don't have field artillery, howitzers, tanks, etc. like the Japanese divisions are equipped with!"
"That is not bad!"
The commander-in-chief breathed a sigh of relief.
If Ma Hong really got the equipment of a division, he would have to reveal some powerful weapons in advance.
"However, this guy actually dared to collude with the Japanese, so we shouldn't be polite."
"Find someone to collect detailed evidence. When we launch the general offensive in January, I want him to be completely discredited."
Originally, according to the instructions of Yan'an, for the purpose of unified resistance against Japan, Ma Hongkui could have been spared, but given the current situation, it is completely unnecessary.
"It has been reported to Yan'an."
The chief of staff said: "Yan'an just needs us to fight a good defensive battle, and leave the rest to them."

Huangya Cave.
"Everyone should work hard and harvest all the sweet potatoes and potatoes today."
Zhao Tianyang encouraged Liu Ding and others.
"Chief, why don't you give the workers a holiday?"
Liu Guifu dug up a big red sweet potato, said with a bitter face: "There are still more than 20 acres of sweet potatoes that have not been harvested!"
"With just over thirty of us, it would be strange if we could collect all the items!"
"Oh, if you can't finish collecting, just come back tomorrow!"
Zhao Tianyang laughed: "The workers have to complete the production tasks, and now the comrades in Guyuan are waiting for our weapons and ammunition!"
"Are you willing to keep them waiting just for some sweet potatoes?"
"Forget it, I'll just try my best!"
Liu Guifu gritted his teeth and continued to dig sweet potatoes.
In April, they planted a total of 38 acres of sweet potatoes and 39 acres of potatoes. Now it is November and it is time to harvest.
"Chief, what do you have planned for these potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
Liu Ransheng on the side asked.
"I've already thought about it. I'll keep half of the sweet potatoes for vermicelli and the other half for making sweet potato soup and rice wine."
"Same with the potatoes. Half of them go into vodka, and the other half we keep for ourselves."
Zhao Tianyang answered without raising his head.
"That's great. I like eating vermicelli the most."
Liu Ransheng said happily.
At this moment, Niu Erli ran over panting: "Chief, there's news from headquarters, asking you to call them back!"
"knew?"
Zhao Tianyang put down the hoe in his hand in confusion and walked down the mountain.
In the tent, Zhao Tianyang shook the phone handle and called the headquarters.
"Hello... I'm Zhao Tianyang, looking for the deputy director of the Political Department."
After a moment, a gentle voice came.
"Is that Section Chief Zhao?"
"It's me! Director, I heard you guys have something to talk to me about?"
"That's right, the factory in Yan'an has been built. The commander asked you to prepare the machines. Comrade Huang Zhefu will come to pick you up in a transport plane the day after tomorrow!"
"no problem!"
Zhao Tianyang nodded happily.
In the evening, Liu Guifu and others finished work and returned to the small basin. Zhao Tianyang called Liu Ding over and told him that he would go to Yan'an the day after tomorrow to improve the arsenal.
"Don't worry, Chief. I'll leave the arsenal to you!"
With Liu Ding's assurance, Zhao Tianyang began to prepare with confidence.
Two days later, looking at the dozen young men who flew over with Huang Zhefu, Zhao Tianyang asked in confusion: "Who are these people?"
"These are all students from our flight school. They came here to fly the transport planes that are piled up here."
Huang Zhefu explained with a smile.
Since the invention of the transport plane in May, the arsenal has been producing it at a rate of one per month.
Huang Zhefu used to run the business alone, but I didn’t expect that he would bring students with him this time.
"No wonder you said you wanted to wait after the planes were produced in August. I didn't expect this was your purpose."
Zhao Tianyang suddenly realized.
"There's nothing we can do. When we were in Yan'an, we could only practice short-distance flights. This time, we'll take advantage of the opportunity to transport the plane and let them try long-distance flights."
Huang Zhefu spread his hands helplessly.
There is no way. Their aviation strength is weak, and every flight plan requires full cooperation from comrades from all parties.
He felt really embarrassed to use that precious long-distance route for the students to practice.
"It will be fine!"
Zhao Tianyang consoled him and pointed to a cave not far away: "There are three transport planes in total, all in the cave, go and drive them!"
"If I don't open it, my cave will be full."
"no problem!"
Huang Zhefu nodded and said to the quiet students beside him: "This is your first long-distance flight. I hope you won't be nervous."
"If you have a problem, call me on the radio!"
"Teacher, rest assured, we will work hard!"
All the students said in unison.
"Well, let's go!"
Huang Zhefu said with relief: "As we said at the beginning, two people will be responsible for driving, and the rest of you will stay in the transport cabin and experience the flight process carefully."
This time Huang Zhefu brought a total of thirteen students, among whom only the six best students were able to sit in the driving seat.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Tianyang felt a little sad, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must speed up the production of transport aircraft so that all these students could drive a transport aircraft.
After loading some machine tools, generators and boiler machines onto the transport plane driven by Huang Zhefu, Zhao Tianyang took Shen Hong into the transport cabin and sat down.
After a while, Huang Zhefu and the students, who were ready, drove the transport plane onto the runway, took off one after another, and flew towards Yan'an.
