Chapter 363 Northeastern Eighth Route Army Base
After listening to Gundam's introduction to helicopters, the chief nodded with satisfaction.
"Commander Gao, the helicopters manufactured by Ping An Arsenal are a revolution in weapons and equipment for the Eighth Route Army."
"We must vigorously develop new equipment to strengthen the Eighth Route Army. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask. The headquarters will help you solve them."
Gundam said hurriedly: "Thank you, Commander. The Independent Column will unswervingly develop and manufacture more advanced weapons to enhance the strength of our army."
"Hahaha! Okay, I believe you can do it." The leader said with satisfaction.
Gundam smiled and said, "Commander, do you want to go and experience the helicopter?"
"Great! Let me, a peasant, experience the charm of a helicopter."
Afterwards, Gundam took the leader and chief of staff and several others on the helicopter.
The helicopter's rotor began to rotate slowly, making a roaring sound. As the speed increased, the wind created by the rotor made the surrounding dust and debris fly.
As the speed increased, the helicopter began to slowly rise into the air, and the scenery on the ground gradually became smaller. Finally, they reached an altitude of more than 1000 meters.
Everyone gradually became excited from their initial nervousness, and they all leaned against the window to look at the ground below.
In their vision, the endless mountains appeared particularly majestic and magnificent, and the houses and people on the ground became as small as ants.
The chief said with emotion: "Gao boy, thanks to you, a peasant like me can also go up to heaven and take a look."
"This helicopter is amazing. It can fly high into the sky so quickly," said the chief of staff.
Gundam smiled and said, "Commander, when the helicopters at the arsenal are in mass production, I will have people drive five helicopters to the headquarters. Then, wherever you want to go, you can take a helicopter to go quickly."
"Hahaha! This is great. With a helicopter, I can go to the front line more often. I'll be waiting for your helicopter, Commander Gao." The leader said happily.
The helicopter flew steadily in the air. The leaders, chief of staff and others were experiencing a flying feeling they had never experienced before. They felt both excited and curious.
From high altitude, they can see more terrain, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for military command.
The helicopter carried the leader, Gundam and others and flew several circles in the sky, allowing the leader and others to fully experience the joy of flying and the maneuverability of the helicopter.
The helicopter then began to descend slowly and eventually returned to the headquarters safely.
As soon as the leader got off the helicopter, he excitedly said to Gaoda: "Commander Gao, this flight experience is great. The maneuverability and speed of the helicopter are of great significance to our future operations.
You must speed up research and development and production, and put the helicopters into actual combat as soon as possible."
Gundam nodded firmly: "Yes, Commander. We must live up to your expectations and make helicopters a sharp sword for our army as soon as possible."
This helicopter flight experience not only allowed the leaders and others to feel the charm of flying, but also gave them a deeper understanding of the power of the new equipment.
.........
Rehe Province,
Yangshu Village, Nandashan, Pingquan City, is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army base in Northeast China.
The village is surrounded by lush trees and hidden among the mountains, making it difficult to be found.
Commander Zhao Da stood in the command center, studying the map with a frown. The situation of the Eighth Route Army in Northeast China was very dangerous.
The Kwantung Army continuously mobilized heavy troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in the Northeast, and many small bases had been destroyed by surprise attacks by the Kwantung Army.
If this continues, the Eighth Route Army in Northeast China will be wiped out, and other troops must quickly move to the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the Kwantung Army.
Chief of Staff Chen Jiang walked in quickly.
"Commander, good news. Headquarters called and said the Central Government is sending an independent column to the Northeast to establish a new base."
Zhao Da raised his head, a gleam in his eyes: "Great, I didn't expect that it was the independent column that came. Now the strength of our Eighth Route Army in the Northeast will be greatly increased, and we don't have to be afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the Kwantung Army anymore."
Zhao Da was also well aware of the strength of the Independent Column. As the strongest main force in the Eighth Route Army, the reputation of the Independent Column had long spread throughout the army.
Chen Jiang continued, "Commander, the advance troops sent by the independent column have already set out and will arrive in Rehe Province soon."
A smile appeared on Zhao Da's face: "Okay! Chief of Staff, arrange for our comrades to go to the mountains to pick up the comrades of the independent column."
"Yes, Commander!"
"Chief of Staff, there is something I want to discuss with you. I plan to move all our bases to the mountains. Yangshu Village is likely to have been exposed. Many of our small bases have been raided by the Kwantung Army. The Japanese spies must have infiltrated our army."
Chen Jiang nodded: "Commander, you are right. In times like this, we must be cautious. I agree to move the base."
"Okay! Without further ado, I will immediately notify all troops to prepare for transfer."
Zhao Da said decisively that he would immediately let the messenger notify all the troops in the base to prepare to move to the mountains.
As the transfer order was issued, the troops in the Northeast Eighth Route Army base quickly took action.
The soldiers began to pack their luggage, and the logistics soldiers packed all kinds of supplies and loaded them onto the carriages. The entire base was plunged into a bustle of activity.
"Comrades, pack your things quickly. We are moving our base to the mountains. Take everything with you and hurry." Commanders and fighters at all levels shouted in the barracks.
The soldiers quickly packed their luggage and equipment, talking among themselves.
A young soldier asked his comrade next to him while packing: "Comrade, do you know why we have to move our base?"
"I don't know the specific situation." The comrade next to him answered.
"I heard that several small bases were raided by the Kwantung Army and all of them were killed.
The headquarters must be worried that our base has been completely exposed, so they moved urgently."
"Oh! So that's how it is. We have to move our base quickly. These little devils are too abominable. Sooner or later, I will destroy them."
"Hey, stop talking nonsense and pack your things! The Japs are not that easy to deal with." An experienced veteran interrupted their conversation.
The soldiers immediately stopped talking. Now was not the time for discussion, but the time for action.
They quickened their movements, loading weapons, ammunition, clothing, food and other supplies onto the carriages, ready to set off at any time.
