Chapter 36 Chapter 35 Fuel

Those pages of documents were bilingual in Chinese and English, which contained a confidential plan. Hu Liang and I were probably the first ordinary soldiers to peep into the documents.At that time, we were in a dangerous situation, and we didn't think much about it at all, just wanted to satisfy our curiosity.Besides, if it is an important document, we must take it out if we have the opportunity, and we cannot leave it in the secret place of the snow mountain where no one has set foot. "Project Matter", the full name should be "Project Matterhorn". "Matterhorn" is a 4,478-meter-high mountain in the Alps. China and the United States use this name as the code name for bombing Japan.This plan originally planned to take off from India and bomb the Japanese mainland after the "hump", but it was too fuel-intensive and difficult, so it had to move its take-off location forward, and finally the military moved the base from India to Sichuan.

After the take-off location moved forward, fuel replenishment became a big trouble again.According to the "Mart Plan", the Indian base is not within the range of bombing Japan.Therefore, the planes at the Indian base must first fly to Chengdu, and then fly from Chengdu to Japan.As a result, the "Mart Plan" proposed that the aircraft at the Indian base should refuel by themselves. The confidential document we have seen is that after the "Mart Plan" was formulated, the plan of "self-supplying oneself" began to be implemented.That is to use its own transportation force to transport aviation fuel, bombs and other supplies to the Chengdu base to complete the fuel storage for air raids on Japan.However, due to various factors, the supply target was not fulfilled, which led to the change of the date originally scheduled for bombing Japan on May 1, 1944, to the end of May and June.

It was already a year (1944) after the implementation of the "Mat Plan". Hu Liang and I saw the prototype of the plan in advance, and Yang Ning and his group were exploring the way for that secret plan.Unexpectedly, they had an accident at the beginning.Later, I also learned that even if I worked overtime day and night to transport supplies by air, the goal was not achieved, so the "Mat Project" was postponed several times.You know, on average, for every gallon of gasoline delivered, seven gallons of gasoline are consumed in the air. It seems stupid to do this, but it is the only thing that can be done in war.In addition to the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States, there were repeated bombings in 1994 and 1945, which forced the crazy Japan to surrender.

Zhang Yicheng saw Hu Liang and I standing deep in the forest, unable to come for a long time, so he yelled and asked what we were doing.Yang Ning was already awake, so I turned around and went back with Hu Liang.As for the "Mat Project" that was forced to be exposed first, Hu Liang and I decided not to reveal half a word in front of them.This plan has been drawn up, and the military must have a reserve. If we say this, who knows if the plan will be leaked and lead to failure, although we don't look like traitors. Yang Ning has woken up, and his consciousness is much clearer than before, but he still doesn't talk much. I don't know if he doesn't want to speak, or he doesn't have the energy to speak.When Kuhn saw Yang Ning woke up, he told Hu Liang in German that Zhao Fei, like Yang Ning, was a very beautiful Chinese woman.I really want to say, Zhao Fei is not dead, you have not met her for 9 years, why do you only want to find Govorov, you don't fucking like men, do you?

Before I could say anything, Zhang Yicheng asked the camel corpse, "Tell me, why did this camel come up to the snow mountain?" "You ask me, who do I ask, there are a lot of strange things on the snow mountain." I didn't have the heart to get to the bottom of it. "At that time in the serac forest, a lot of smoke was blown out, we were all shooting into the sky, who would have noticed how the camel appeared." Hu Liang said, "I think the camel must have appeared out of thin air." "That's weird, it appeared out of nowhere, how did it appear?" Zhang Yicheng walked into a dead end.

Han Xiaoqiang, who was standing on the edge of the forest, stepped back and shouted: "No way, the stone statue is getting closer to the forest!" Looking at the group of stone statues, Yang Ning was hysterical. I was afraid that she would act aggressively and wanted to comfort her, but she hid in my arms and refused to let go of my hand.I thought to myself, I have already walked out of the snow valley, and the No. 1 peak on the map is behind. If there is any wreckage of the C-54 long-range transport plane, I will know if I retreat to the back.Kuhn was a little paranoid, thinking that Govorov landed on the side of the forest toward the ice tower when he parachuted, and he was unwilling to go to the side of the snow mountain.Hu Liang said a few words in German to Kuhn, which probably meant that the stone statue was surrounded, and now it is expedient to retreat to the snow-capped mountains, and it is not that he will not come back.

Communicating with people with mental problems is not difficult. As long as you find their weaknesses, it can be as easy as coaxing children.After hearing Hu Liang's words, Kuhn packed up his things and prepared to walk out of the forest with us. At this time, the sound of an airplane flying across the sky was heard again outside the forest.Earlier, there were three Type Zeros rushing up the snow mountain, but later they all got into the snow fog.Two planes have already died in the serac forest, and now there is another one, which is now flying out of the vast white snow fog and heading towards the forest area.

As soon as I heard that the devils were coming again, I was so anxious that I hid my feet. What are these devils doing in the snow mountain?Fortunately, the fir forest is very dense, no matter how low the zero machine is pressed, it is impossible to see us hiding in the forest.The devil first bombed in the ice tower forest, and after a while, released many stone statues, but none of the stone statues were blown up.The devil may have sensed the abnormality, so he continued to fly forward, intending to bomb the fir forest. "Look, the devils didn't appreciate it and buried their companions, and now they won't let us go!" Zhang Yicheng said angrily, wishing he could go back to the ice tower forest and dig out the devils again.

"Forget it, what is there to care about with the dead." I supported the crooked Yang Ning and said to them, "They have no conscience, do you want to learn from them?" "Don't talk big! If I hadn't shot their fuel tank just now, would you have a chance to show the truth of a scholar?" Zhang Yicheng snorted, although his words were rough, they really made sense. After listening to our argument, Han Xiaoqiang hurriedly asked, "When did I bury the devil, why didn't I know?" Hu Liang walked in the front with a big bag on his back. He turned his head and said, "You were still in the cave camp at that time. We encountered a Japanese corpse, the one that was in the oil drum at first. He was buried."

Han Xiaoqiang didn't say anything. After listening, he carried two bags and followed everyone to the end of the forest.When passing by the plane wreckage in the forest, Yang Ning reacted strongly and kept asking her if she was dreaming.I patted Yang Ning on the shoulder and told her not to be afraid, with us here, nothing will happen.Yang Ning seemed to remember something, and asked everyone if there were several oil barrels in the wreckage, and there were precious fuel oil in them, which were to be transported to Sichuan. Kuhn carried a long gun on his back. He swept the gun head here and flicked it there, and he really poked two full barrels of fuel.There are still a few empty, it is estimated that the plane was blown up when it crashed, and the other two fell far away from the wreckage and were not affected by the fire. Coupled with the impact of the low temperature environment, the two barrels of fuel were preserved. down.

"Make a mark, and you can ship it back later..." Yang Ning said weakly. "Don't worry, we will do it." I said perfunctorily. At this time, the Japanese devils had already bombed into the forest, and many trees were burned.The Zero has been attacking for a long time, as long as we persist, it will always run out of ammunition.Yang Ning urged us to quickly sell the oil barrels with Baixue, otherwise the devils would blow them up and there would be no fuel left in the oil barrels.But there are ghosts in the sky and stone statues in the ground, these two terrible things have already come to the forest.When we didn't pay attention, the stone statue knocked down several towering old trees, and the distance got closer and closer. "There is no hope now, why not use up these two barrels of fuel!" Zhang Yicheng said suddenly. "How can this work?" I thought that Zhang Yicheng wanted to burn to keep warm, so I shook my head and quit. While speaking, the Japanese devils shot indiscriminately again. Although they were not too close to us, the sound was right next to our ears.The situation is urgent, we can no longer bargain and insist on noble sentiments.Zhang Yicheng came up with a bad idea. The plan was to push the oil barrels to the foot of the snow-capped mountains so that the devils could see us on purpose.When the devils flew close, we were running away, and then we were shooting the oil barrels, detonating the fuel in the oil barrels. Hu Liang said bluntly, this method is too offensive, if he doesn't run away, he will die with the devil.What's more, the fuel has to be reserved for the front supply, so how can we make fun of it.Zhang Yicheng was furious, snorted, and scolded us for being unrealistic, now that we are going to die anyway, what are we doing with the fuel.Maybe, after a hundred years, no one will find out that the fuel has been left for such a long time, and it may be expired and unusable. "boom--" The devil started a new round of bombing, and the stone statue destroyed half of the forest. We were running out of time, and Yang Ning realized it, so she nodded first and agreed to use fuel oil as explosives, and everyone agreed in turn.The barrel was down, and with a light push we pushed out of the forest easily and without difficulty.But I was always terrified, because I was afraid that when the oil drum was pushed, it would cause sparks or something, and the devil would blow us up first instead of blowing up. The snow-capped mountains outside the forest are even more spectacular than the snow-covered valleys. Standing at the foot of it, we cannot see the top of the mountain, but only the foot of the snow-capped mountain.As soon as I got out of the forest, I checked to see if there was any C-54 wreckage, but I didn't even see one. The girl Yang Ning probably said something crazy, but I actually took it seriously.Except for me, no one remembers what Yang Ning once said, masked people, airplanes, etc., I am afraid everyone has long forgotten. The forest is connected to the snow-capped mountains, and when you come out, there is a slope full of white snow, which is much thicker and softer than other snow fields.The sharp-eyed Kuhn first found a series of footprints. Although it was difficult to identify, we could tell at a glance that they were human footprints.That is to say, when we fled to the other side of the forest, someone had already been there.Kuhn immediately shouted that it must be Govorov who parachuted nine years ago, but we thought it was Zhao Fei, a Shaanxi woman who also survived. Before everyone could talk about who left the footprints, the Japanese plane was approaching. We just wanted to push the oil barrel to a higher place to blow up the Zero plane.Even if it can't be blown up, it can ignite the fuel tank of the Zero machine, which is where the Zero machine is most prone to problems.Just as we were pushing two oil barrels together, I glanced up, but I didn't expect to catch a glimpse of the tank on the mountainside moving.
