Fang Lang, who was far away at the Natal Naval Base, was holding a phone and looking out the window at the ten C46 transport planes parked neatly.
Ground crews are changing the US military logo on the fuselage to the Brazilian Navy logo.
"Don't worry! I will definitely arrive in time! Remember that when you get to Rio, you have to treat me to experience the enthusiasm of Rio girls."
After saying that, he smiled and pressed down the phone and started dialing again.
"Hello! Help me pick up General Dutra. I am Fang Lang, commander of the Navy's First Fleet."
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
"Fang, I'm Dutra."
"Your Excellency General, Fang Lang is leading five hundred Marines to report to you."
Dutra was obviously taken aback by Fang Lang's words, because the last time he talked to Fang Lang, although everyone was in the same camp.
However, it did not indicate that it would lead troops to directly support it!
Of course, General Dutra must be very satisfied with Fang Lang's statement.
After pondering for a long time, General Dutra asked:
"Where are you?"
General Dutra's words made Fang Lang curl up his lips and make his heart come true.
"Within four hours, my people can arrive and take control of the Rio airport, ensuring that no plane will take off from the Rio airport."
Fang Lang's strength directly exceeded General Dutra's expectations. What else is there to say?
He stood up directly, stood in front of the map, looked at it for a while and said:
"At eight o'clock tonight your people are responsible for occupying the airport and taking control of the Voice of Rio radio station."
I didn't expect that there would be two tasks. It seems that General Dutra does not have enough manpower!
However, Fang Lang didn't care. With the combat power of his men, he controlled the airport and then drove into the city. Controlling a radio station shouldn't be too easy.
"Understood, sir."
..................................................
At 7:30 on the night of October 29, police were confronting Japanese people outside the presidential palace in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Rio de Janeiro Police Chief Lechner, who weighs more than 250 pounds, was sweating profusely while answering the phone in a booth in front of the presidential palace.
The seriousness of the matter on the phone could be seen from his panicked expression and the large beads of sweat on his face.
After he put down the phone, he seemed to have gone crazy. He seemed to have completely forgotten the tense situation outside the presidential palace, and shouted directly to his subordinates outside:
"Everyone, load your bullets and build fortifications on the spot! Protect the presidential palace. The rebels are entering the city!"
The police stationed outside had been confronting the armed Japanese outside for almost a whole day.
Both the police and the Japanese were in high spirits for the whole day.
The police officers who heard the order moved without hesitation. The sound of the gun bolt firing and the bullet being loaded was heard, as if a fuse was lit.
Takase Haruhiko, a Japanese expatriate who came from Sao Paulo to defend the presidential palace, is a mint factory worker and a senior member of the winner team of the Chendo League.
Although he is only twenty years old and has no military experience, Brazil's no-gun policy also allows him to have good marksmanship.
Every time he went out hunting during his break, he would always be able to enjoy a hearty barbecue on the weekends.
As a fervent Tianhuang believer, he was simply ecstatic when he heard that President Vargas was about to surrender to Japan.
Once Brazil surrendered to Japan, he was not prepared to continue working in the factory.
Instead, he went directly to the suburbs to occupy a farm of his own and let those Brazilians work for him.
Therefore, he must ensure that President Vargas can surrender to Tianhuang smoothly and must not be stopped by the Brazilian army.
Therefore, he did not believe that anyone other than Japanese would sincerely protect President Vargas as they did.
He had been standing in the crowd, aiming his gun, and he sensed danger as soon as he saw the policeman on the opposite side pull the bolt of his gun.
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger of his shotgun.
At the same time he shouted loudly:
"The police are going to take action. Kill them and protect Vargas."
Then a second shot was fired.
The Japanese people around him also saw the actions of the police on the opposite side and pulled the triggers one after another.
The police were caught off guard, but after all, they had undergone certain training.
The uninjured personnel immediately began to seek cover and fight back.
In just one moment, both sides fired hundreds of bullets.
The companions around Takase Haruhiko kept falling down, which shocked him.
The prey wasn't going to shoot him on a weekend hunt.
At this time, Takase Haruhiko began to tremble in his heart and wanted to lie on the ground to avoid the bullets.
I am also afraid that I will be treated as a coward by my peers.
If you want to retreat, you can't retreat at all due to the dense crowd behind you.
He could only bite the bullet and continue shooting, and soon a bullet hit his thigh, causing him to stagger and almost fall.
The pain in his legs made him cry out "Ah!"
However, in this chaotic environment, the pain in his legs actually aroused his ferocity. He crouched down and retreated, and continued to fire regardless.
Soon, another stray bullet hit his right eye and emerged from the back of his head.
He felt that his vision went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.
At this time, Police Chief Lechner realized that he had made a fatal mistake. Just when he was about to come forward and explain a few words, he was frightened by the stray bullets and fell to the ground.
The usual arrogant and domineering attitude of the police chief was completely lost, and he was trying to find cover with all his hands and feet.
As a result, he was too fat and got stuck between two obstacles, unable to move forward or retreat.
He kept mumbling:
"It's over, I'm dead, I made a big mistake!"
Unfortunately, some mistakes once made are irreversible.
He knew that it was impossible for him to call for a ceasefire at this time. As long as he dared to issue such an order, a large number of his police team would be killed and injured immediately.
The only way is to first eliminate all the Japanese who surround the presidential palace, and then organize defense against the incoming rebels.
Therefore, he no longer hesitated and shouted loudly:
"First kill all these Japanese thugs, use machine gun fire to kill them, quickly."
Originally, the police were only responsible for guarding the outer defense line. The real guard force of the Presidential Palace was a guard battalion.
I don’t know if the guard battalion received intelligence about the rebel attack and came to help defend, or was attracted by the gunfire from the outside.
Soon he also came to join the police team and began to suppress the Japanese mob on the periphery.
However, the number of Japanese mobs was too large, with more than 40,000 people, and all of them were armed.
There were less than a thousand policemen and soldiers in the guard camp. Facing the mob surrounding the presidential palace, they were like a small boat in a violent storm, in danger of capsizing at any time.
Fortunately, the firearms in the hands of the mob were all single-shot firearms, and after the machine gun firepower of the military and police began to fire, a large section of the Japanese mob that had already rushed into the isolation zone finally fell.
Unfortunately, these Japanese mobs were not frightened by the machine gun firepower of the military and police.
Death squads are constantly being organized and advancing forward.
This battle has no tactics at all, it is all a collision of blood and fire, a battle between bullets and flesh.
The Brazilian military and police had obviously never experienced such a big scene, and they were frightened by the fierce fighting style of the Japanese mob.
Deserters were the first to appear in the police force. After all, they were just police officers who maintained law and order and supported their families.
They are not soldiers who have undergone rigorous training.
Therefore, less than ten minutes after the war started, the Japanese mob actually began to take advantage, breaking through the first line of defense of the police and guard battalions, and approaching the presidential palace.
Colonel Teach, who had just led his Marines and rushed out of the Rio de Janeiro Naval Base, was confused at the moment.
Didn’t you say that I would join the siege of the Presidential Palace? Why did our team just set off, but the Presidential Palace was already fighting in full swing?
General Dutra of the Army Command was even more ecstatic when he received the news.
Originally, he heard that the Japanese organized a mob of 40,000 people and prepared to help Vargas defend the presidential palace, and he was worried about whether it would have a negative impact on his plan.
But it was unexpected that these Japanese people actually exchanged fire with the guards defending the Presidential Palace first.
Since this is the case, can I directly declare to the outside world that it was a Japanese mob that attacked the presidential palace?
And he is the righteous soldier who represents the Brazilian government to put down the Japanese mob rebellion!
General Dutra, who thought of this, directly issued an order to all troops to eliminate the Japanese mob and rescue the kidnapped President Vargas.
As early as four hours ago, Fang Lang, who was far away at the Natal Naval Base, had gathered all his marines.
Against a map of the Rio de Janeiro airport, a detailed occupation plan was drawn up.
Everyone knows what they need to do.
Then he boarded the ten C46 planes that Fang Lang had just bought. Ten pilots who had been trained at the base and ten flight instructors who followed the planes were transported directly to the airport in Rio de Janeiro.
Civilian airports in this period were far less advanced than those in later generations. Airports with a cement runway were considered quite advanced airports.
Rio de Janeiro Airport is the first airport built by Pan American Airways in Brazil. Therefore, it is an advanced airport with a cement runway.
Just now, Pan Am staff responsible for operating the Rio de Janeiro airport discovered ten uninvited passengers on the radar.
However, in this era, there is no precedent for directly using aircraft to occupy civilian airports.
And there was no war in Brazil, so this anomaly did not attract the attention of air traffic control personnel and report it.
Anyway, there were no planes taking off or landing at this time, so the air traffic controller walked out of the office and looked at the sky in the distance.
I saw ten small black dots in the night sky in the distance, aiming at the runway in turn.
Begin an orderly landing.
With the help of the airport lights, the air traffic controller saw the Brazilian Army logo on the military green fuselage.
He was so angry that he cursed and said:
"Damn it, these bastards, did they come to the wrong place? This is a civilian airport, what are you military planes doing here?"
