February 4, 1941, Taiyuan Airport
The next day, Baron Kuroshima Morita led a large advisory group of more than 500 people to board several TB3 bombers of Yamamoto's troops. At this time, the physical advantage of the Locust Army was reflected. A large group of little Japs were densely packed. They were squeezed into the cargo hold, which was as crowded as a sardine can. Although the taxiing distance of the plane was increased a lot, these planes still flew into the sky unsteadily.
Looking at the transport aircraft group gradually disappearing from sight, Yamamoto Kazuki was already thinking about how to use these aircraft to conduct a large-scale airborne operation behind enemy lines. Even without gliders, Yamamoto's troops also have the ability to deliver five weapons at once. With the ability of a hundred people, five hundred people placed on a suitable battlefield can often be a force that can determine the outcome of a war.
Kuroshima Morita and the others did not fly directly to the southwest, but flew all the way to the southeast, and then converged on a group of KI-57 transport aircraft in southern Zhejiang. Like the TB-3 transport aircraft of the Yamamoto unit, these transport aircraft are rated to carry 15 passengers. There were actually 25 people crammed into the cabin of the KI-57 transport plane, and there were more than 500 people in the twenty transport planes.
These people are all "military advisers" that Zhao Gang found from the Jinling puppet army system. The operation is very simple. Just recruit the puppet army officers who are worried about the secret service directly in the name of Yamamoto's troops. The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is greatly reduced. However, the quality of these grassroots officers is still very interesting. Those from Huangpu, Baoding, various martial arts schools, Army primary schools, and even the former Qingshui Division Academy. These people are not incompetent, they just don't want to do it on their own. , if you change the stage, it will be much more interesting.
A huge fleet of transport planes flew directly to Yunnan Province, then refueled there, and flew directly to Tianzhu via the skies of Southeast Asia. Japan has not yet launched the Pacific War, so there is no need to challenge the hump route to Tianzhu, as long as it avoids the British almost undefended route Airspace is enough, as for being discovered? Don't be ridiculous. If a large fleet of aircraft appears in the sky over Southeast Asia, it can only be a fleet of the British Royal Air Force. There is nothing strange about it.
Even so, Kuroshima Morita's journey was not so smooth. When he was in western Yunnan, an inexperienced Japanese pilot drove a KI-57 transport aircraft off the runway when landing, causing the aircraft to be scrapped. Fortunately, the personnel Nothing happened. As a last resort, Kuroshima Morita had to ask the military advisers of the Jinling government to transfer to a Li-2 transport plane of the Eighth Route Army. Just looking at the transport plane belonging to the Yamacheng government in front of him, the puppet army officers were in a daze. Are the anti-Japanese slogans on the edge of the airport just slogans? That's not right, the biplane fighter made by Gui is still on alert.
When the fleet over Myanmar encountered thunderstorm clouds again, a TB-3 transport plane was struck by lightning and one engine stalled. This plane happened to be Kuroshima Morita's plane. At that time, he thought he was really going to die. , I was even thinking about whether to leave a last message or something.
Fortunately, the plane did not catch fire, nor did it crash. The experienced Japanese pilots tried their best to stabilize the plane, but this also slowed down the speed of the fleet, causing them to almost encounter a patrol fleet of the British Royal Navy. .
After the fleet arrived in the predetermined airspace, the formation used the frequency band provided by Zhao Gang to contact the ground. After a while, several old-fashioned Camel fighter jets swung their wings to greet them. It turned out to be the air force of King Yasha Tu. Kurojima Morita, who had doubts about the strength of the two earth kings, was delighted. Although the model of the aircraft was very old, it was really a good start, wasn't it?
After a while, they came to the sky above Assam. Through the hanging window, looking at the continuous derricks and densely packed small distillation towers below, Kuroshima Morita's heart was finally completely relieved. It was nothing else but just The existence of this oil field is worthy of the empire's investment. Although the navy is interested in the oil in Southeast Asia, no one would mind that they have too many resources, right?
The war has not yet broken out, and the empire uses foreign exchange and gold to purchase oil from Bald Eagle. This is one of the reasons why the empire wants to go to war. But if it can exchange yen and industrial products for crude oil, it will be extremely beneficial. Greatly relieve the pressure on the empire, allowing the empire to import more other resources.
The Red Earth Airport was very flat. Under the guidance of Camel fighter jets, a huge fleet of transport planes began to land. After the plane landed, countless naked Tianzhu slaves came over and dragged the plane aside. The organization was very smooth and the speed was very fast, even None of them affected the landing speed of the planes, allowing all the planes to land on the ground before running out of fuel.
Kurojima Morita felt that he was about to cry. From Taiyuan to Assam, he actually brought the entire army over. Although one plane was lost, there was no attrition - in fact, he has not yet I know that 12 people in the fleet died of hypoxia and 8 died of high altitude hypothermia, and all of them were noble locust soldiers. There is no way. Apart from being bigger, this thing tb-3 is really incomparable to the KI-57 transport aircraft. .
The King of Hyderabad and the King of Asa were ecstatic when they learned that His Excellency Kuroshima Morita would personally lead the advisory group. Although the Japanese and Jinling governments have spared no effort to support them, there has never been a particularly high-level person. The arrival of personnel made them feel that they might be abandoned by the Japanese at any time, and they felt very unsure of themselves.
It’s different now. His Excellency Kuroshima Morita, a nobleman of the Japanese Empire, a senior intelligence officer, and a senior military officer, actually came in person, and personally brought a huge advisory group of more than a thousand people. What is this? This is the attitude. At the same time, it also shows their weight in the hearts of Japanese people.
In the future, when they overthrow the British colonial rule, they will definitely establish an independent country. At that time, the recognition of Japan and the Jinling government as an Asian power will become crucial. They are very important to the Japanese now, so This means that they will also receive more and stronger support in diplomacy in the future.
The airport was cleaned overnight, and slaves would search hand in hand every hour to remove foreign objects blown by the wind at any time, and also compact all unsafe places. Finally, in order to prevent smoke and dust, the airport would be cleaned by The airport is manually sprinkled with water to prevent dust when the plane lands from affecting the landing of subsequent planes.
As for those Camel fighter jets, they are the best fighter jets in their hands. Mobilizing them and taking the initiative to respond is also showing their strength to Kuroshima Morita. After all, they still want to buy aircraft and chemical weapons from the Japanese. Woolen cloth.
