Looking at their commander in the co-pilot seat, who was grinning heartlessly and grinning with big white teeth, political commissar Zhao Gang and deputy brigade commander Xing Zhiguo both shook their heads helplessly.
It is said that as a pioneer of paratroopers in the Eighth Route Army and even in the Republic of China, Lao Li not only had outstanding learning and command skills, but also exuded a unique personality charm.
Unfortunately, no one is perfect.
While he has many advantages, his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is usually too energetic and energetic.
If there is no one around to cooperate and let it play out, there is a certain chance that an accident will happen in the end.
Recalling the scene that just happened, Zhao Gang couldn't help but sigh, and then said in a caring and serious tone:
"All-rounder? All-round talent? At this juncture, you, Li Yunlong, are still in the mood to joke. Do you really not think about what to do if the rain fails?"
"The starting point of man being able to conquer nature is a positive one, but we shouldn't issue a military order in front of hundreds of people!"
"As soon as you arrive at the command post, you quickly use a high-power radio to contact the border area and Taiyuan headquarters and ask comrades to prepare the tools and equipment needed for rainfall in advance."
After being keenly aware of his partner's concern and anxiety, Li Yunlong immediately retracted his smile.
Since he dared to stabilize people's hearts in the form of military orders and also limited the specific time period for artificial rainfall, he naturally has sufficient confidence.
"Old Zhao, don't worry. I am the commander of the airborne troops. How can I fight a battle without complete preparation?"
"What's more, even if you don't have confidence in me, you still have to believe in Lao Huang. Matters related to artificial rainfall are the knowledge he gave me in his spare time, so just take a look!"
From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have always attached great importance to arable land resources and agricultural production.
In order to regulate droughts and floods, control the timing of precipitation, and reduce the destructive power of various disasters, Guanghua Farm in the border area teamed up with the Arms Experimental Research Bureau as early as 1941 to develop related tools for artificial rainfall.
The so-called artificial rainfall, in fact, is to use artificial intervention to affect the clouds that may rain or are raining in the sky to increase precipitation.
Judging from the current scientific research level of the Eighth Route Army, whether it is refrigerants and artificial ice nuclei used on cold clouds, or hygroscopic agents acting on warm clouds, they can be easily mass-produced.
After all, the technical content of the above-mentioned things is not high. Even before 1939, when the Yellow River had not returned to China, the craftsmen in the border area could make it.
However, the troops at that time lacked a series of effective delivery methods such as anti-aircraft artillery, fighter planes and rockets, and were unable to deliver the catalyst to specific locations as needed at a suitable time period.
Seemingly sensing that his political commissar was still worried, Li Yunlong added confidently:
"According to previous years' experience, the flood season in Henan Province begins in mid-May and slowly ends at the end of September. The reason why I chose June is because that period is a prone period for rainfall, and there are more or less rains in the sky. Some cumulonimbus clouds.”
"At that time, we will first arrange for an anti-aircraft artillery battalion to fire at Wanxianshan. If the effect is not good, we will ask comrades from the Air Force to help. In the future, we can sum up our experience while fighting, and pick up rain clouds wherever they appear."
"Tsk, tsk, sprinkle it in at the beginning of June, and the white flour steamed buns will kill the dog. With the various measures taken by the new military region, maybe the year of great disaster can turn into a year of minor disaster."
Obviously, the confident tone of their commander completely dispelled the worries of Zhao and Xing. Of course, part of the credit here is due to the Yellow River. Behind us is a strong man who responds to every request and never fails. This is how confident we are.
"Okay, then this matter is over for now. I hope that the artificial rainfall operation will go smoothly and reduce the losses of the people of Henan Province!"
"I will definitely do it. We will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties together!"
While the three were talking, the delegation from the 1st Marine Brigade finally arrived at its destination, and the convoy parked steadily in the temporarily planned parking lot.
The building complex in front of me was originally the headquarters of the Japanese Cavalry Fourth Brigade.
After the Japs fled Henan Province, infantry experts transformed this place into the command post of the new military region based on the principle of rationally utilizing existing resources and not placing additional burdens on the people.
Just as Li, Zhao, and Xing were preparing to enter the gate under the leadership of the military region guards, a slightly surprising voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Brigadier Li? I really didn't expect to see you in Yu Province today. Let's say goodbye to each other in the Hetao. We haven't seen each other for several months."
"Thanks to you for leading the paratrooper troops to attack thousands of miles and extending a helping hand to us in time. Otherwise, the brothers in the Eighth Theater will probably end up with a bitter end."
"After the meeting is over, I hope the three of you can have a meal together so that I can have the opportunity to formally express my gratitude."
As soon as these words came out, the three commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade immediately looked in the direction of the source of the sound. I saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes greeting them warmly.
Yes, this person moved his family to Qilu and live in the border area just to avoid being held accountable and under house arrest.
Hearing that the Eighth Route Army was going to send troops to deal with the disaster in the Yellow River Flood Area, he, who was currently unemployed at home, decisively recommended himself and applied to go to Henan Province with the Guanghua Farm expert advisory group.
This trip is not only to hand in a petition, but also for the local people.
Considering that the former deputy commander of the Guofu War Zone had rich experience in managing the Mother River during his tenure in Suiyuan, Desperate War Fox agreed to the other party's request.
"Hey, it turns out to be Commander Fu. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Thank you for thinking about the people and taking the initiative to come to Henan Province."
"As for the meal, let's wait until the meeting is over. After all, the army has just taken over more than 50 counties in northern Henan, eastern Henan, and southern Henan. It is estimated that Mr. Xu will have to assign many tasks soon."
"Please, let's go to the venue together."
Although his proposal for a small gathering after the meeting was rejected by Li Yunlong and others, there was no trace of dissatisfaction on Qilu Ban's face. He always kept a smile and walked into the command post of the new military region hand in hand with the three commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade.
"Haha, I'm no longer a war zone commander. I don't think about eating anymore. Let's get down to business first. Please!" (End of Chapter)
