Chapter 1042: Not Enough for Anti-aircraft Fire
Li Longyun felt very unhappy when he saw Lin Qiaoer staring at Xiang Chu's back.
He said unhappily: "Ms. Lin! Do you think Chu Xi is better than me?"
Lin Qiaoer said without hesitation: "Of course! No one can be better than him."
Li Longyun was jealous and said coldly: "Since he is so outstanding, you should go and become his concubine."
Lin Qiao'er sneered and said, "You are simply unreasonable!"
After saying this, she turned and walked towards the telecommunications department.
Li Longyun shouted: "Qiao'er! Don't leave in such a hurry."
He hurriedly chased after Lin Qiao'er, but was stopped by Jiang Yong:
"Colonel Li! You will be reporting into the conference room soon."
Li Longyun stopped helplessly and said indignantly:
"Major Jiang! Miss Lin has been asking me to go out with her every day recently. When she saw Chu Xi just now, she seemed like a different person. I really don't know what her relationship with Chu Xi is."
How could Jiang Yong discuss Xiang Chu with him? He advised him kindly, "Colonel Li! I advise you not to have any ideas about Minister Zeng's niece. You will suffer the consequences."
Li Longyun shook his head and said, "No! I'm determined to pursue Miss Lin. I will marry her in this life."
Jiang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "But don't you have a wife?"
Li Longyun said shamelessly: "Xiao Jiang! In this world, which powerful man doesn't have several wives? For example, Chu Xi, it's not too much for me to have one more Lin Qiao'er."
Seeing that his voice was a little high, Jiang Yong said hurriedly:
"Colonel Li! Keep your voice down. The people in the conference room are all important people."
Li Longyun said disdainfully: "Don't worry! I will be a big shot in a few years."
Governor Jiang walked out of the meeting room, pointed at him and scolded:
"You, your voice is louder than everyone else in the conference room. Do you want to be put in solitary confinement?"
Li Longyun was so frightened that his heart and liver were broken. He nodded and said, "Sorry! I won't dare to do it again."
Governor Jiang pointed at Jiang Yong and ordered, "Jiang Yong! If he dares to make a loud noise again, you will be held responsible."
"Yes!"
Jiang Yong hurriedly accepted the order.
Governor Jiang glared at Li Longyun fiercely, then turned and walked into the meeting room.
Some important people came to the conference room.
Because the level of the conference was higher than in the past, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Even Minister Chen, Commander Li, Commander Xue and others came from the front line.
Deputy ministers like Zeng Yun, as well as Chen Guo, Dainong and others are not qualified to attend the meeting.
Due to their special status, Xiang Chu and Song Xi could only sit at the back.
Xiang Chu closed his eyes and rested. He was too lazy to listen to the important figures on the stage who were slandering and worrying about the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Regiments Campaign and the New Fourth Army's Huangqiao Decisive Battle.
The Japanese have reached Yichang and blocked all exits. This statement is truly chilling.
Song Xi gently pushed him and said softly:
"Listen carefully! Otherwise you will be classified as an alien."
Xiang Chu nodded, took her notebook, picked up a pen and sketched her portrait on it.
Soon, a dignified and beautiful portrait appeared on the paper.
Xiang Chu returned the notebook to her and asked with a smile: "Sister! Do you like it?"
Song Xi was overjoyed and said coquettishly, "Hate it! He's in a meeting."
At this point, the meeting entered the free speech session.
The Red Party troops became the target of public criticism, and the White Party leaders echoed the criticism.
Xiang Chucai was too lazy to speak and carefully painted a portrait of his daughter Qi Tiao.
Song Xi smiled brightly and begged:
"Brother! Draw another portrait of you, me and Nanajo together."
Xiang Chu happily said, "Okay! A happy and complete family."
The two men were so immersed in painting that they completely ignored the nonsense spoken by the White Party leaders.
Governor Jiang walked up to them and said in a low and mocking voice:
"You two! Don't treat this venue like your home."
Song Xi said angrily: "Who is the head of the family?"
Governor Jiang did not dare to confront her in public, so he took out an envelope and handed it to her, saying:
"General Chu! This is the task you need to complete next."
Song Xi took the envelope, opened it, and read softly:
"Go deep into the enemy's rear to perform the duties of a battlefield supervisor, and report the situation of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army truthfully. Unlock the large amount of military supplies detained in Hong Kong Island and send them to Zhanjiang. Encourage the devils to attack the United States and Southeast Asia. Understand and report the movements of the devil's troops in a timely manner."
After Song Xi finished reading, tears welled up in her eyes and she was speechless.
Xiang Chu sighed helplessly: "Alas! We still have to go behind enemy lines."
Governor Jiang said angrily, "Boy! If you had gone to supervise the enemy's rear earlier, the Red Party's troops would not have made such a big fuss."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "There are 12 supervisors behind enemy lines. Why do you want to put the responsibility on me alone?"
Governor Jiang rolled his eyes at him and shook his head, saying, "You are indeed an intelligence officer. You know exactly how many people are being supervised behind enemy lines. Those 11 people have all been dismissed for failing to supervise properly. You can take care of yourself."
After saying this, he turned around and called out to Li Longyun outside the door:
"Colonel Li! Come in and report on the preparations for the air defense of the temporary capital."
"Yes!"
Li Longyun accepted the order excitedly.
He marched into the conference room and saluted the important figures on the podium.
Then he saluted the audience, which seemed very proper and capable.
Officer Feng, who was in charge of the anti-aircraft fire, praised: "Well! Quite good."
Li Longyun was overjoyed. He took out an anti-aircraft firepower deployment map and hung it up. He picked up the lecture notes, compared them with the map, and gave his report with a beaming face and gesticulations.
Finally, he clenched his fists and said firmly: "Commendations! The artillery fire of our air defense forces is impeccable. We will definitely be able to shoot down the bombing planes of the Japanese. Please rest assured!"
Minister He couldn't help but ask, "Colonel Li! Is the location of the air defense force deployment concealed?"
Li Longyun nodded and said, "Commander! The air defense forces are deployed in a very hidden place. Even if there are a hundred Japanese spies, it is impossible to find our air defense forces."
Minister Chen shook his head and said, "Li Shangxin! You are too confident. The Japanese spies are omnipresent. Lord Chu! What do you think of this anti-aircraft firepower deployment map?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The deployment is too scattered! There is no crossfire. Moreover, without the support of mountains to increase the shooting height, it is difficult to attack the Japanese bombers..."
Li Longyun interrupted him and said unconvincedly:
"Mr. Chu! You are wrong. If our artillery is too concentrated, it will definitely be discovered and destroyed by the Japanese spies. As for not relying on the mountains to increase the firing height, the Japanese bombers will have a large deviation when dropping bombs if they fly too high. These are very professional issues. You can learn more when you have time."
He blurted out these words, and it was obvious that he had a great prejudice against Xiang Chu.
Minister Chen sneered, "Boy! Mr. Chu is a top-class pilot. He has shot down more Japanese planes than the artillery of your army."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Minister! There is no need to praise me. But for safety reasons, the air defense forces should quickly move their positions."
Li Longyun said angrily: "It has been fixed for a long time, where should we move it to?"
Xiang Chu stood up and walked to the front desk, picked up the pointer and pointed to the location of the anti-aircraft artillery and said:
"The anti-aircraft fire here will be transferred to Gele Mountain, and the anti-aircraft fire here will be transferred to Shapingba..."
Li Longyun looked at him with disdain, but did not dare to refute impulsively again.
After listening to him, Commander Feng shook his head and said, "Chu Xi! What you said makes sense, but the current location of the anti-aircraft artillery fire was determined after careful selection, and it must not be changed."
At this time, the air raid alarm sounded outside.
Jiang Yong reported: "Commanders! The Japanese sent 30 bombers to bomb us."
Commander Feng looked at Li Longyun and asked, "Little Li! Do you think we can stop it?"
Li Longyun said arrogantly: "Only 30 planes have arrived, and they are not enough to withstand the anti-aircraft artillery fire."
