Yang Shufeng had already read Lin Sanqi's information and had photos, so he recognized him at a glance.
Lin Sanqi got out of the car, and after exchanging a military salute, they walked together to an empty corner.
"Hello, Commander Yang. You know the mission is top secret. I'd like to ask what the current situation is at the Black Tiger Mountain Airport up ahead."
Yang Shufeng also lowered his voice and said:
"We have cleared the Heihushan Airport and the runway is intact and can be landed. However, there is no staff on site, so when the plane lands directly, the pilot needs to search visually, which is a bit difficult.
My suggestion is that you go to Heihushan Airport and, if it's daytime, you can set off smoke screens. If it's nighttime, you can light torches along the runway. We have all the supplies ready and they'll be stacked along the runway."
Lin Sanqi was worried and asked again, "How's the evacuation going?"
Yang Shufeng replied:
"All herders, including border troops, have evacuated. Our outpost is a full 70 kilometers from the Black Tiger Mountain Airport. That means there are no inhabitants within a thousand square kilometers, including the Soviet side."
Now Lin Sanqi felt relieved. There was no one nearby, so he could explain it however he wanted.
Heihushan Airport is only 10 kilometers away from the border. Theoretically, an airplane flying from the Far East can land at the airport in just a few minutes.
"Okay, comrades, thank you for your hard work. I'll go to the Black Tiger Mountain Airport and wait. When the plane arrives, I'll light the black smoke. You just need to keep an eye out. Don't approach until you see the black smoke."
Yang Shufeng suddenly rubbed his hands and said excitedly:
"Minister Lin, can you help us get a few MiG-21s this time? Our entire army is waiting for them to come in handy."
Lin Sanqi was a little surprised and asked:
"What's wrong? The country has been quite peaceful lately. I haven't heard of anything big happening."
Lin Sanqi had looked up some information and knew that there seemed to be no major war in China since the Korean War that began in 1950.
Even in the war in the west that was going to happen this year, India was beaten and fled in panic by our army, but we did not use our air force.
So it seems that we haven't suffered any losses in any war.
Yang Shufeng knew that Lin Sanqi had a special identity, so he didn't hide it from him:
"Minister Lin, you don't know that while you can focus on construction in Bao'an County, you don't know how many foreign aircraft are monitoring us day and night in the southern sky, repeatedly invading our borders.
Some of them were even more arrogant and flew directly over North China, which showed that they did not take us seriously.
We had several small-scale engagements before, and we shot down several enemy planes.
But then the enemy got cunning and started using supersonic aircraft or high-altitude aircraft. Our J-5s and J-6s couldn't hit them or catch up, which was really frustrating."
Lin Sanqi understood immediately and patted Yang Shufeng on the shoulder.
Although Yang Shufeng is 20 years older than Lin Sanqi and one level higher in rank, Lin Sanqi is Jun Wei's man and is three levels higher than him when they meet.
"Alright, Commander Yang, don't worry. It's your responsibility to defend our country. I'll take care of the plane. I won't let you down."
Yang Shufeng also chuckled and saluted:
"Then we will wait for good news from Minister Lin."
In fact, it was not only Yang Shufeng who was waiting. In fact, in Hulunbuir City, 100 kilometers away from Lin Sanqi, Leader Jing and other leaders were also waiting.
It is said to be a 70-kilometer road, because there are no roads on the grassland, and it is definitely not the flat road like you see on TV.
In order to show Lin Sanqi the way, the Air Force used wooden poles to mark the way along the way, guiding Lin Sanqi all the way to Heihushan Airport.
Three hours later, Lin Sanqi finally parked the small jeep on the runway.
The airport is actually not located on the prairie, but in a huge valley on the border, so its location is somewhat hidden.
Lin Sanqi got out of the car, walked around, and looked at some architectural ruins up close, and he understood.
No wonder the Heihushan Airport is so simple and dilapidated. It turns out that it was built by the Japanese invaders.
Fortunately, the cement quality is up to standard. Although the runway has weathered over the years, there is no problem for aircraft to take off and land. In addition, the Air Force has cleaned it in advance.
Lin Sanqi sat down, ate a little, and waited for it to get dark.
Although he repeatedly stressed that no one should be arranged around, there was still a chance that someone might be lurking and watching.
So Lin Sanqi drove another drone, turned on the infrared thermal imaging mode, and carefully searched the area within a radius of 10 kilometers.
After making sure there was no one around, he built a simple door and released a J-7 fighter jet and a Xian MA60 aircraft.
In order to avoid wild animals appearing in the middle of the night, Lin Sanqi climbed onto the Xianzhou plane and had a good sleep inside.
The next morning, Lin Sanqi was still sleeping soundly in the cabin.
Leader Jing and a group of leaders were waiting on the prairie early, looking at the valley in the distance.
Liu Xingchang of the Air Force was getting a little anxious. He called the lookout post for the umpteenth time that morning:
"How is it? Is there any black smoke?"
"Report, not yet."
Liu Xingchang slammed the phone and cursed:
"What the hell is Lin Sanqi doing? The whole night has passed, and there's no sign of him alive or dead."
Liu Xingchang, probably many people don’t know him, but as long as a line from 101 is mentioned, everyone will suddenly understand.
At Zhengjiatun Railway Station, 101, wearing a military coat, paced back and forth while calmly saying:
Liu Xingchang, please remember this: I'm making the following deployment adjustments: the 4th and 11th columns plus two independent divisions will reinforce the Tashan defense line; the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 8th, and 9th columns plus the 6th column's 17th division will secure the capture of Jinzhou... Repeat this to me...
The above passage needs to be memorized in its entirety.
Another passage that needs to be memorized in full is what a bald man said:
"I don't understand why everyone is talking about Xiang Yu being trapped at Gaixia, as if this ancient battlefield in the Central Plains doomed us. Twenty years ago... no matter what, the battle was 800,000 to 600,000, and the advantage was mine!"
This Liu Xingchang is the old man who is anxiously waiting now.
Leader Jing was also anxiously waiting, but he was more afraid of something happening on the border. If the Soviet Union discovered that his fighter jets had been stolen, it would be a big trouble. Everyone was quietly waiting for news about the plane.
Lin Sanqi was awakened by the cold. The weather in this part of Northeast China cannot be compared with Bao'an County. Winter has already arrived in November.
After waking up, Lin Sanqi jumped off the plane, lit the fuel in a diesel barrel, and piled some dry cow dung next to it on top.
Soon, black smoke billowed into the sky. A soldier at the lookout post 20 kilometers away, who hadn't slept all night, saw the black smoke and excitedly made a phone call:
"Leader, the black smoke is rising. It's rising."
Yang Shufeng on the other end of the phone stood up happily when he heard this:
"Great, great, the plane has arrived. Hurry to the airport and ensure the safety of the plane and Commissioner Lin."
The soldier at the lookout put down the phone and muttered to himself:
"I didn't hear any plane landing tonight. That's strange."
Yang Shufeng came to Leader Jing and Liu Xingchang and shouted excitedly:
"We got a signal. It's black smoke. I think the plane has arrived. Let's go check it out."
When Leader Jing and Liu Xingchang heard this, they were also excited:
"Come on, get in the car and hurry out to Heihushan Airport. Oh, and seal off the border. We absolutely can't let the Russians see anything."
In a flash, more than ten small jeeps and large trucks at the scene stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed towards Heihu Mountain as if they were risking their lives.
Lin Sanqi was also making preparations at the airport.
The plane has arrived, but we can’t run out of aviation kerosene.
In the 1960s, China was unable to refine its own aviation kerosene and relied almost entirely on imports, so Lin Sanqi worked all morning and got a full 100 barrels of kerosene.
A barrel of kerosene weighs 130 kilograms, enough for several flights.
After the kerosene arrived, before Lin Sanqi could take a break, the sound of cars began to be heard in the distance. The air force had arrived.
Yang Shufeng leaned half of his body out of the car, looked at it from a distance, and then shouted excitedly:
"Two, there are two planes, one big and one small. Haha, this Lin Sanqi is really a talented person."
Liu Xingchang frowned when he heard this: "Only two?" (End of this chapter)
