Chapter 918 A wide river flows, the wind blows the fragrance of rice blossoms on both banks.
About three minutes later, Section Chief Ma came in and asked everyone to get out of the car to see the effect.
After Chu Yunfei got out of the car, he found that both cars were completely covered by a mysterious fabric, and the color of the fabric was similar to the surrounding environment.
"Section Chief Ma, what's the explanation for this? Can simply covering a bus with a sheet really serve as an air raid tactic?"
“Commander Chu, we are so close that it is easy to spot our flaws. But if it is an enemy plane flying high and fast, it would be difficult for the enemy pilot to spot our stationary vehicles from above.”
“We have tested it with a special aircraft. If you don’t pay special attention, it is difficult to spot the buses on the ground, so you can use them with peace of mind.”
"In addition, our base also has its own aircraft, so it is not an easy task for the Japanese planes to break through our air defense network."
"Actually, our air defense emergency response mechanism has been in operation for a long time. To be honest, apart from exercises, it has never been put into actual combat."
In fact, the Japanese planes were closely monitored by our ground-based air defense radar. As long as any plane dared to intrude into our airspace, it would be caught up and shot down by our advanced fighter jets.
Even if they occasionally sneak in, they will usually attack our important targets. Buses are not even tactical targets, so the enemy has no interest in them at all.
But we dare not gamble. We must prepare for the worst, after all, there are thirty lives on the bus, which is something that no amount of money can buy.
“Nip problems before they happen.”
This is something that Kong Hao has been advocating, and it has also received unanimous approval from all the leaders.
When we had nothing, there was no way to properly protect the people. But now that we have the strength, we must put the people first.
Fortunately, the technology for making this camouflage fabric is mature, and the cost has been reduced to an extremely low level. In addition to military use, it is understandable that it is widely used in civilian applications.
However, Section Chief Ma's unintentional words deeply stung Chu Yunfei.
In fact, the first thing he thought of when he saw this thing was its greatest use: camouflage on the battlefield.
Especially for artillery positions and command posts, which are very vulnerable to enemy aircraft attacks, even reducing casualties by 10% would be a remarkable achievement.
But, but such a good thing, the Eighth Route Army actually used it on civilian buses, is there any justice in this world? Isn't this a complete waste of good things?
However, this is also a good thing. Since this kind of thing that can be used for battlefield camouflage can be used in civilian facilities, it proves that this kind of fabric has been mass-produced and the price should not be high.
After we meet Li Yunlong, we need to find a way to get him to provide a batch for trial use. If it works well, we'll ask Commander Yan to buy more from here.
This is actually the intention of the leaders. Many things, once produced, must circulate in order to achieve development.
There's no point in talking about things; people will only buy in large quantities when they truly experience the benefits.
After the exercise was over and the camouflage cloths were taken down, the convoy continued its journey.
Chu Yunfei asked curiously, "Section Chief Ma, I have another question. How did you know that enemy planes would be coming to this area?"
"Commander Chu, each of our vehicles will have a dedicated radio. The announcer will regularly report enemy activity. Whenever enemy aircraft appear in our area, all nearby buses must take cover."
"Even if it means waiting for three to five hours, we cannot allow passengers to face life-threatening situations."
Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement. He had long heard of the Eighth Route Army's benevolence and righteousness, and these details showed it. No wonder they were able to win the support of all the people.
Unfortunately, the Jin-Sui Army couldn't learn it, nor were they willing to.
"By the way, Mr. Wang, let's play a song. Everyone must be tired after such a long ride."
"Ok."
Chu Yunfei and his adjutant were puzzled when they heard this. In their minds, a radio was only for receiving information, not for playing music.
At that moment, a soaring yet deeply moving song filled the car:
"A great river flows wide, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice blossoms on both banks."
"This is the motherland of heroes, the place where I was born."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei was so shocked that he was somewhat incoherent.
"This is 'My Motherland'."
"My goodness, I never expected to hear such a popular song here."
After he finished speaking, he also sang loudly along with the beautiful melody.
This song only recently appeared in China, and it became an instant hit across the country.
Especially in enemy-occupied areas, even though the Japanese had explicitly forbidden singing it, many ordinary people would still secretly sing it at home.
We also took the opportunity to use the radio station to broadcast the same thing repeatedly every day. Many families with radios would even put them under the covers and listen to them quietly.
This song greatly aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Students from all over the country came to the base areas to participate in the construction of the motherland, listening to its beautiful melody and singing "If the jackals come, they will be greeted with hunting rifles".
Factory workers, farmers in the fields, and even primary school students can sing it and like to sing it.
The same was true for the Jin-Sui Army. I can't speak for other troops, but Chu Yunfei's troops were extremely encouraged. This song represents the spirit of the Chinese people, a spirit of never giving up.
In the 358th Division, any soldier who could sing this song would be rewarded with an extra can of meat, so everyone was very enthusiastic.
Most importantly, this song is best suited for group singing; the more people there are, the more powerful the performance and the more it can move those around you.
Sure enough, as Chu Yunfei and his adjutant Sun began to sing softly, the others gradually found the melody, and their voices grew louder and louder, even drowning out the sound from the radio.
But nobody cares. Even if someone sings a little off-key, it doesn't matter much. It's a way to vent emotions, and genuine feelings are more important than anything else.
To be honest, today's scene was unexpected by everyone, including Chu Yunfei. What was supposed to be a difficult long march was turned into a tour group trip.
If they prepared hot pot in the car, they could eat hot pot, sing songs, and comment on the scenery along the way – that would be the ultimate enjoyment.
In Chu Yunfei's eyes, this scene felt like a distortion of time and space. This was a chaotic world, and he had been a soldier for more than ten years. He had never enjoyed such treatment before.
Moreover, judging from the situation, this kind of thing is not unusual for the Eighth Route Army, so there's a lot to explain about it.
