"What? The master seat can fly a plane? Haha, it's amazing!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Liao Youtian and others ran over from the hiding place, and saw four black spots flying quickly in the night sky.

"Spread out, we're going to land the helicopter!"

Yang Fan and others quickly and steadily parked the helicopter in the open space, and then quickly extinguished the fire, lest the devils find the target and kill it after a few shots.

"Okay, don't get excited! We still have important things to do, and I will explain to you in detail later!"

Seeing the crowd crowding around excitedly and curiously, Yang Fan quickly waved his hand to stop him, and ordered the crowd to quickly fasten the other end of the cable to the river bank with a steel braze!

After finishing business, Yang Fan continued to refuel the helicopter non-stop!

The straight-line distance from Xiaguan, Nanjing to Gaomi, Shandong is more than 480 kilometers. Yang Fan purchased these four helicopters with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 860 kilometers, so he can only bring his own gasoline tank!

Thank you for your monthly pass, very happy!

Chapter 246 Persistence is Victory

"Wow, what kind of plane is this in the division seat? It's amazing. It can go straight up and down without even using a runway?"

"It's amazing, I didn't expect that we have only been away for a month, and we even have a plane at home!"

"Master, I want to be a pilot when I go back!"

"Yes! Yes! We all want to be pilots, and it's exciting to fly a plane to fight little devils!"

Seeing Yang Fan jump off the plane and helicopter after refueling, Liao Youtian, Meng Wuan and others, who had been holding back their words for a long time, surrounded him again, looking at Yang Fan eagerly.

These four big guys going straight up and down, the visual shock they gave them today is too great!

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it later!"

Yang Fan still waved his hand, and then continued to order: "The action team sends a signal to the opposite side! Liao Youtian, you quickly take people off the helicopter to carry all the baijiu, wait for them to swim over, and each give them a warm drink body!"

Seeing three long and two short bright flashlight signals coming from the opposite side of the river, Wang Liguo quickly bent down and pulled the cable hard and found that it was already tight.

"Okay, the cable for crossing the river has been fixed! Everyone, don't panic, put life-saving traps on your body, don't take all your guns and ammunition and throw them into the river. Escape is the most important thing now!"

"Line up well, don't be chaotic! If there is a chaotic situation, no one can cross the river alive!"

"The river water is cold and the current is fast-moving. It's hard to soak in the water! But everyone must persevere to the end and don't give up!

Because only after crossing the river can I go home alive to see my parents! "

"On the opposite side of the river, there is not only wine and drinking, but also your wives and children waiting for you to go home! Brothers, persistence is victory!"

Wang Liguo, Liu Qiang and other four people mobilized everyone's thoughts with hissing voices, and used their greatest efforts to stimulate everyone's will to survive!

You must know that the width of the river is as high as 1.8 kilometers, the river water is bitingly cold and the current is fast, even with the aid of a lifebuoy and a cable crossing the river!

But these cold and hungry remnant soldiers, if they want to climb across the Yangtze River in one breath, it will be a test of physical fitness and willpower!

"Whoa, I want to go home!"

"Father! Mother! The child must come back alive to see you!"

"Brothers, you are not afraid of beating devils, but are you afraid of swimming across the river? Go!"

"Thank you to the brothers of the Shandong Independent Division, for your great kindness and great virtue, I will never forget it forever!"

"If we can go home alive, we will definitely give Chief Yang a longevity card!"

Grinding their guns in front of the battle is not fast, but a few simple words of encouragement instantly made the hungry and cold remnants of the national army burst out with a strong desire to survive and tears of gratitude!

Soon, the first national soldier in line resolutely threw his rifle into the river, then grabbed the rope and walked step by step into the icy cold water!

"Plop! Plop!"

The officers and soldiers behind threw their guns and ammunition into the river one after another, and then pulled the cables one by one like dumplings to swim to the center of the river!

It was already 12:12 on the night of December [-]th, and the river was bitingly windy. Soaking in the water was almost like falling into an ice cellar. The severe cold made your scalp numb and your body covered in goose bumps!

However, the fire of hope rose in the hearts of all the officers and soldiers, and they were not afraid of the severe cold and darkness, and swam forward unswervingly pulling the cable!

"Brother Er Niu, I can't do it! Please tell my parents when you get home, I'm sorry for my son's unfilial piety!"

A wounded Sichuan Army soldier gritted his teeth and persisted until Jiangxin, but at this time he had no strength to go any further, so he could only say goodbye to his fellow countrymen in front of him!

Er Niu yelled at the back and said, "You son of a bitch, what nonsense are you talking about! Are you dumb, won't you go home and tell your parents? Hurry up and give me your hand! We're going to cross the river soon!"

"I'm sorry, I really don't have any strength! I don't want to hurt you, everyone! Brothers, don't give up, I'm going to take a step first!"

The wounded soldier from the Sichuan Army shook his head, resolutely used his best strength to let go of the air in the lifebuoy, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the river!

Because, he knew that at this time, there was no way to pull the rope across the river with only one hand. He didn't want to drag his fellow countrymen down, and he didn't want to get stuck in the middle and delay the escape of other brothers!

"Damn, you idiot! You bastard! Woohoo! These goddamn dog officials only know to run away by themselves, and they don't treat us soldiers as human beings!"

Er Niu was crying, but at this moment he was powerless and could only continue to swim forward with tears in his eyes and full of anger!

"Ugh!"

"Sad brother!"

"Come on, everyone! Living is the most important thing!"

The officers and soldiers of the national army before and after felt the same. They could die for the country and the nation, but they could not accept being regarded as abandoned children and dying worthless!

The distance of more than 1800 meters, if placed on land, is only a short walk of more than ten minutes, but at this time on the icy and icy Yangtze River, it is an extreme challenge full of dangers!

Many national army officers and soldiers closed their eyes in despair as they swam, let go of their hands, and let the rushing and icy river wash them away!

No one wants to give up easily. Everyone knows that only by crossing the river can they survive, but there is a limit to human physical strength and will after all!

In many cases, not everything can be conquered by will alone!

"Hurry up and get ready, prepare wine to warm everyone up!"

Anxiously waiting for nearly half an hour, Yang Fan finally saw that the four cables had been adhered to the riverside one after another.

"Brothers, you are suffering! Drink hot wine to warm up!"

After the first national army officer and soldier was helped to the shore, Liao Youtian handed him a bottle of strong liquor in his arms!

"Thank you, sir! If it weren't for you, we people wouldn't be able to survive at all!"

Qian Chenxue took the warm wine bottle with trembling hands, raised his head and took a sip of the wine before pushing the bottle out!

However, at this time, the extremely spicy wine tasted like a fire burning from the throat to the internal organs, and the chill on the body was driven a lot!

Not daring to use open flames, Yang Fan ordered people to warm dozens of boxes of wine on the shore with self-heating materials. Maybe one sip is not enough for everyone, but it is a thought, and it counts as much as it can help!

"Brother, take your time, don't stay by the river for too long! It's better to go ahead, the little devil's gunboat may appear at any time!"

Liao Youtian nodded lightly, then turned and walked towards another brother from the national army who had just landed!

"Reporter's seat! There is a Japanese army coming to Xiaguan Wharf, and there is still 1.5 kilometers away! Please instruct!"

At 12 o'clock in the morning on December 13th, the rescue crossing of the river was still in progress. Liu Qiang, who was on guard at the Xiaguan Wharf on the opposite bank, discovered a Japanese army team rushing towards him with torches.

Chapter 247

"Don't exchange fire, stay hidden, and be ready to retreat to the river at any time!"

Yang Fan immediately told Liu Qiang to be calm and not to be impatient, because in Yang Fan's eyes, even if Liu Qiang traded for a hundred or eighty devils alone, it would be a blood loss!

Immediately, Yang Fan dialed the intercom to Wang Liguo and asked: "Wang Liguo, how many people are there by the river? The devil will touch it in half an hour at most!"

"What, the little devil came here in the middle of the night, you are quite courageous!"

Wang Liguo raised his sword eyebrows, and then quickly replied: "Please rest assured, Master, there are no people by the river, and the retreat mission can definitely be completed within half an hour!"

"Very good! Tell everyone to pay attention to your own safety, and don't leave anyone behind!"

Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that there would still be a large number of stranded national army brothers on the other side of the river. In that case, it would be a real dilemma. Knowing that he would die and watching him being killed were two completely different concepts!

After more than three hours of intense rescue, more than 5000 remnants of the national army successfully crossed the river, and more than 100 soldiers of the national army died in the process of crossing the river!

Most of these people are weak or disabled soldiers.

Yang Fan actually thought about using a helicopter to rescue those disabled soldiers first, but it would easily cause riots. Maybe a group of people would flock to catch them, and he would really catch himself!

In addition, the movement of the helicopter is not small, don't recruit the little devil in advance and it will be a bad dish!

What's more, the spare gasoline I brought this time is only enough for my own return journey, and it can't stand much trouble!

So you can't be soft-hearted at this time, you have to make a choice!

During the daytime, there were more than [-] soldiers and civilians gathered near the Xiaguan Wharf. However, after killing each other, trampling on each other, and forcibly crossing the river, most of the extremely disappointed and desperate soldiers could only return to the city!

Because at this time, most of the outside of the city and even the city walls were occupied by the Japanese army. For these 10,000+ abandoned soldiers of the national army, the only hope was the international safety zone marked by the German Rabe!

As early as five days ago, the Japanese devils had spread leaflets and shouted that as long as they put down their weapons and ended the hostility, their safety would be guaranteed!

So at this time, most of the defeated national army took advantage of the night to return to Nanjing City, took off their military uniforms, threw away their weapons and hid in the international safety zone.

And because of the momentary hesitation, the national army was defeated and stranded on the riverside of Xiaguan Wharf. They were undoubtedly lucky, although many of them fell during the process of crossing the river!

When the brothers of the national army were all in the water, Liu Qiang, Wang Liguo and other four were ordered to knock the steel drill into the ground thoroughly, and then jumped into the river holding the severed cable!

"Brothers, hurry up and help, and pull the rest of the brothers over!"

At this time, Yang Fan on the other side of the river immediately asked Liao Youtian and others to pull the rope directly, and pulled the remaining hundreds of people over.

There are many people and strong strength, coupled with the buoyancy of the river water, although each rope is pulling 400 people, but it is not laborious, and the speed of pulling the rope is very fast!

"Nani! How come the riverside is so quiet, and there is no resistance? Is there not even a Chinese defeated soldier by the riverside?"

As soon as Wang Liguo and others left, thousands of little devils carefully touched the riverside in a line of skirmishers with guns in hand.

Because during the day, the Air Force's reconnaissance plane discovered that there were no less than [-] Chinese routs gathered at the Xiaguan Wharf. Although they retreated a lot later, logically there must be many stranded!

"Baga, have they all retreated to the international safety zone in the city?"

"Yoxi! These idiots should have thrown themselves into the trap!"

"Alright, so we don't have to catch them one by one!"

These ghost soldiers quickly searched the riverside, and seeing the empty river beach and the continuous flow of the river, they confidently believed that all the defeated soldiers of the national army had entered the city!

"It's dangerous! Let's go a few minutes late, and the little devil will kill him!"

"Haha, from now on we are also a member of the Huben Army!"

"Haha, this is what it means to survive a catastrophe!"

"Master, you saved our lives! We, the remnants of defeated generals, are grateful to you for taking in us, and we will do our best in the future!"

At this time, on the other side of the river, more than 2000 defeated national army soldiers who survived the catastrophe had gathered, all shivering and thanking Yang Fan and others at the same time.

These more than 2200 routs of the national army chose to join the independent division, and the other more than 3800 routs of the national army chose to leave and go home, because their fighting spirit was dead!

"This place is not suitable to stay for long! Liao Youtian, you continue to work hard, take these brothers to a safe place to hide, we will send some brothers back first and then pick you up! Each helicopter is limited to 60 people, hurry up, organize people to board the plane!"

Yang Fan did not procrastinate, and immediately began to organize the first wave of evacuation.

The helicopters purchased by Yang Fan have a maximum take-off weight of 13 tons. Excluding the weight of the aircraft and the weight of fuel, it can hold more than 4 tons of cargo!

Based on the average weight of 130 catties per person, that is more than 60 people!

"Wow, can we fly?"

"My God, it's amazing! It's worthy of the Tiger Army!"

"Is this a helicopter? Why have you never heard of this kind of aircraft?"

"Haha, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds! We are just ignorant!"

"Hey, it's a pity for those brothers who choose to go home! Being able to become Master Yang's soldier is a blessing that we have cultivated in eight lifetimes!"

"Forget it, don't talk about it! People have their own ambitions, and their hearts are dead!"

The first batch of defeated soldiers of the national army who took the helicopter were all excited and dancing, feeling fresh and exciting, especially after the helicopter slowly ascended to the sky, they were so excited that they were dying!

"Okay, I'm home now! Brothers, take a hot bath first, change into dry and warm clothes, and then have a good meal! We have to pick someone up later!"

An hour and a half later, Yang Fan and others drove the helicopter back to Gaomi County, and the logistics support department, which had been notified long ago, immediately placed the rout of the national army properly.

Filled up with fuel and some supplies, Yang Fan and others took off again to pick up people.

In this way, there were a total of 10 times back and forth, using the method of moving ants. It was not until the morning of December 12 that Yang Fan brought all the more than 14 defeated soldiers of the national army to Gaomi!
