"idiot!"
Second Lieutenant Takao Doi slapped him.
"Hi!"
Cao Chang's legs were beaten together, his left and right middle fingers were pressed against the seams of his trousers, and he lowered his head in response. Five red fingerprints were left on the left side of his face.
Takao Doi is so cruel! The corner of Zhou Zhihan's mouth twitched. The two slaps he had just slapped on the sergeant's face were too light. He had known how to aggravate his head and swollen it.
The hierarchical system of the Japanese military is really extremely strict. Superiors often punch and kick subordinates, and beatings and scoldings are commonplace. However, subordinates dare not complain and can only obey unconditionally.
This is a really weird country.
However, perhaps it was because subordinates obeyed their superiors unconditionally that the Japanese were able to sweep across Asia during World War II.
What is the concept of a small country sweeping across Asia?
Although his atrocities are heinous, why does it have such strength? Shouldn't it be worthy of everyone's pondering and learning?
The commander Cao who was beaten was the observer of the reconnaissance aircraft, responsible for drawing and surveying geographical maps, enemy firepower, and defense maps of fortifications during the flight.
In the early days of World War II, the radio signals on all military aircraft were extremely poor, especially Japanese military aircraft. In order to reduce the weight of the aircraft, the military did everything possible to dismantle as much as possible. Many fighter jets were almost made of wood except for the engines. Fuselage wings tail.
Take the Zero fighter, for example. Its power is actually not dominant among all fighter jets in the late World War II. However, because the Japanese military significantly reduced the weight of the Zero fighter, the turning radius of this fighter is very small and flexible, and it can climb quickly during air combat. , turn, bite the tail of the enemy plane, and gain the advantage of firing first.
The flight speed of reconnaissance aircraft is generally relatively slow. It is designed in this way so that it can fly farther with the same amount of fuel and the scope of reconnaissance is larger.
Sometimes lookouts also have to act as transmitters.
Most reconnaissance planes fly far away, and the radio signals are even worse. Some Japanese reconnaissance planes simply remove the radio equipment to reduce the weight of the plane, save fuel and speed up the flight. The pilot directly uses the compass and compass on the plane to identify the direction. Departure or return flight.
When an enemy situation is discovered, the reconnaissance aircraft will never engage in combat with the enemy aircraft until they reach the end of the mountain. They usually turn around and run away when they see the enemy fighter jets. The lookouts use transmitters to communicate with the headquarters.
Chief Cao was beaten so much that he dared not speak. Although the "Yamato 05" reconnaissance plane was delayed in taking off today, it had nothing to do with him. It was because the pilot on duty, Genji Hiraga, had bad food in the morning and suddenly had diarrhea before boarding the plane and was unable to get on the plane. Combat pilot Wada Sanzheng went out to fool around and could not find anyone, so the reconnaissance plane was delayed for nearly 15 minutes and did not take off.
But no matter what, the "Yamato 05" reconnaissance plane has not taken off at this time, and a reconnaissance vacuum zone will be exposed between the "Yamato 03" reconnaissance plane that took off previously.
Second Lieutenant Takao Doi's face could be filled with rain. He knew that there was a vacuum zone between the two reconnaissance planes. Once an enemy plane seized the opportunity, it might be a devastating blow to the entire fleet.
That Chief Cao was also very pitiful. He was beaten so hard that he didn't dare to raise his head. He could only bend down and look at his toes.
Takao Doi stared at Commander Cao with a sinister look: "This morning, the fleet's defense level was raised. Don't you know? At this time, Wada Mimasa did not stay on duty to prepare for war, but he actually dared to go out and fool around. What a difference between you crew members?" We must remind each other not to make mistakes. Didn't your instructors teach you during the training? If the "Yamato 05" reconnaissance plane does not go out on time, who can take the responsibility once the enemy is discovered in the air?"
"Hi!"
Chief Cao lowered his head, "I have sent people to find Wada Sanzheng!"
"Snapped!"
Takao Doi slapped him again, "The 05 Yamato reconnaissance plane should have taken off 10 minutes ago. Do you know what time it is now? It has been more than 10 minutes. How long will it take for you to find Wada Sansei? If this happens Let your Excellency the Commander know the matter, and you will know the consequences."
"Hi!"
Mentioning the commander, Commander Cao was obviously afraid. The reconnaissance plane would not take off on time. Once enemy fighter planes were spotted around him, the fleet would not be warned, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Five more red fingerprints were left on his right face, but he did not dare to go. Huh, being slapped in the face is nothing. If the commander knew about it, everyone in the entire investigation team would be implicated in a rage.
"The reconnaissance plane doesn't take off on time. If the commander finds out, you guys will be severely punished and sent to the infantry regiment to charge. I will also be dismissed from my post and investigated!" Doi Takao slapped him twice and walked back and forth quickly angrily. Just now He hurried over after receiving a call from his friend who was also serving on the ship, saying that the reconnaissance plane did not take off on time.
Fortunately, today's flight commander was a classmate and friend, and could help him hide it. If it had been anyone else, the reconnaissance plane had not taken off for more than ten minutes without any reason, and it would have been reported to the fleet commander.
Doi Takao was extremely impatient. He knew that no matter how hard he beat this Captain Cao, it would be useless. The top priority now was to let the reconnaissance plane fly into the sky. Even if it flew out for a while and did nothing and then came back, it would be better than parked on the ship.
When a reconnaissance plane flies out and fails to detect enemy conditions, it is because the scope of the reconnaissance is too wide to take into account all aspects of the situation. If the enemy is not discovered, it will not be blamed. Sometimes the airspace is too large and the number of reconnaissance planes and the number of takeoffs cannot fully cover it. Perhaps the reconnaissance planes It is common for enemy planes to attack just after flying over.
However, if the reconnaissance plane did not take off at the specified time, it would be a breach of duty. If it was only lightly punished in peacetime, but if it happened in wartime, it would be a mistake to miss the fighter plane.
The July 7th Incident happened last night. Who knows whether the Chinese will launch a retaliatory sneak attack.
At this moment, another second lieutenant officer walked quickly from the deckhouse. Seeing that he looked a little panicked, Takao Doi hurriedly greeted him: "Kei-kun Hara!".
"Takao-kun!" The second lieutenant named Hara Kei was very anxious. "You have killed me. The Yamato 05 has not taken off yet. In 15 minutes, Captain Yamada will accompany the commander to the ship to check combat readiness." , if you see the "Yamato 05" still parked on the ship, you will definitely be furious."
Hearing that the commander-in-chief was going to personally inspect the war readiness on the Izumo ship, Takao Doi secretly said it was unlucky, and the sweat on his head immediately rolled down like soybean grains.
He was at a loss for a moment.
This morning, the combat readiness of the entire Shanghai Marine Corps has just been raised to Level 2. As the leader of the reconnaissance team, he has not yet dispatched the "Yamato 05" reconnaissance plane. The commander-in-chief blamed him and pinched Takao Doi to death. It's as simple as squeezing a small ant to death.
In the morning, Captain Yamada of the Izumo came ashore to the Marine Corps headquarters for a meeting. He had already explained that the July 7 Incident occurred last night. To prevent the Chinese from launching a surprise attack to retaliate against the Imperial soldiers, all four reconnaissance planes must be sent out one after another. The safety of the fleet must be ensured.
"What should I do?" Doi Takao touched his chin, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, constantly looking towards the shore. He hoped that Wada Mimasa, who should be punished, could come back now.
"Mr. Long Xiong, who is this?" Second Lieutenant Yuan Jing had never seen Zhou Zhihan before. Seeing him wearing a student uniform, standing on the deck with great dignity, he felt curious as to why a student-looking man was here, so he asked.
