Seiichi Kita is Japan's top spy agency chief in China after Madoka Doi, and he is especially good at collecting all kinds of intelligence. It's not that he didn't collect information about Xie Baoqing, but he just glanced at that information and threw it directly into the trash can. It didn't even have any value in archiving.
Li Yunlong's troops of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army exterminated Xie Baoqing's troops, a bandit from Heiyun Village, to vent their personal anger...
How could a bandit who had been wiped out still attract the attention of Kita Seiichi?
There must be someone else.
Who is this Xie Baoqing, that he can cause so much harm to the imperial army?
Since 1937, the defeat in Taiyuan has done more harm to the Japanese army than the Battle of Taierzhuang, seriously affecting the morale of the Japanese army and the strategic deployment of the entire North China War.
So this time General Okamura Neiji personally came to Taiyuan to take command. Kita Seiichi took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany him. He wanted to personally know who Xie Baoqing was.
The special plane was about to arrive in Taiyuan. At this time, the radio received a call from Ono Luer, one of the three fighters in charge of the right-wing escort formation: "General team, general team, I am Xiaoye Luer, a 193 fighter plane, and my formation is over Qizhou. Encountered enemy planes, fighter planes 192 and 194 were shot down by enemy planes, please support, please support.”
Even Neji Okamura, who had been sitting on his seat without moving, suddenly opened his eyes. Seiichi Kita rushed directly to the radio station and grabbed the microphone and asked hurriedly: "Enemy plane? Is it an enemy plane? Not Xie Baoqing?"
"Not sure, it's our Zero fighter. The man piloting the plane is in his thirties and has a rough face. The fuselage is painted with a red flag."
"It must be Xie Baoqing." Kita Cheng turned his head to look at Okamura Neji.
Neji Okamura ordered in a deep voice with an unchanging expression: "Order the escort formation to shoot him down. I want to see his body in my office today."
Kita Cheng exulted and conveyed the order through the microphone: "The commander ordered that the escort formation shoot down Xie Baoqing. The commander wants to see Xie Baoqing's body in the office."
Nishimura Mizuta, captain of the Army Aviation Brigade in charge of the escort, immediately named three people and led the team himself. The four Zero fighter jets broke away from the formation and turned towards Qizhou. Onoji managed to escape with his life. Second, I was ordered by Nishimura Shuitian to turn back and lead the way. Although I was very reluctant, I couldn't disobey the military order. Besides, this time it was a five-machine formation, so I became more courageous.
High in the sky, Xie Tian saw four Zero fighters breaking away from their formation and flying back in the direction they came from. He hurriedly steered the planes into a larger cloud and hid them, grinning widely.
His grandma, after following that little devil for a long time, I finally found your formation. I was having a headache and it was difficult to deal with it. As a result, you abandoned your martial arts and mobilized four fighter jets to fly back.
Although Xie Tian couldn't understand what the little devil was saying on the radio, he guessed that the planes leaving the team must be going back to seek revenge on him.
Haha, I'm right above your head. Go back and look for it slowly.
This place is not far from Taiyuan, so it's no wonder that the little devil dared to give up the escort mission and go back to seek revenge on him.
Walk quickly, fly farther, I'm going to start attacking.
Xie Tian didn't know that the transport plane below was carrying Okamura Neji and Kita Seiichi. If he had known, he would definitely not have waited patiently for such a long time.
Even if he was asked to use this Zero fighter to collide with the transport plane that Neji was riding in the village, he would be willing to do so.
Damn it, if you kill Neji Okamura, even if the War of Resistance Against Japan cannot end early, it will definitely destroy the arrogance of the little devil and directly affect the strategic situation on the Chinese battlefield.
Now there are three Zero fighters, two Type 99 bombers and two Zero transport planes below. Although they can still pose a threat to Xie Tian, Xie Tian has already had the courage to give it a try.
Thank God for knowing that there must be a big shot in the Japanese transport plane, otherwise there would not be such a powerful escort formation.
There is a great possibility that this escort formation is an aircraft supplemented by the Japanese to the Army Aviation Group of the First Army, otherwise there would be no bombers accompanying it.
Xie Tian waited patiently for a while, waiting for the Zero fighter jets to fly out of the radio's contact range. Xie Tian saw the right moment and pushed the joystick fiercely. The Zero fighter jets rushed out of the clouds and headed towards the formation below. Dive down.
The Japanese formation below was unaware that the danger had quietly arrived, and still kept moving forward in the convoy formation.
Damn it, you sneak attacked me. Today I will also sneak attack you a big one. Let’s call it even.
Xie Tian controlled the Zero fighter and aimed at the two transport planes in the middle and rushed directly towards them. The danger of destroying one or two fighters with a sneak attack would naturally be less. However, Xie Tian was worried that the transport planes would take the opportunity to escape. After comparing the two, He decided to fly the transport plane first. After all, there was a high possibility that the transport plane was carrying a high-ranking Japanese official.
Killing a high-ranking official is more valuable than killing a Japanese fighter jet.
The diving Zero fighter quickly approached the optimal shooting distance and shooting angle. At this moment, a Type 99 bomber in the Japs flying formation, which had been ignored by Xie Tian, was so idle that the rear crew who was looking around suddenly discovered that it was diving down. Xie Tian's plane, he shouted in terror, controlled the airborne machine gun and pulled the trigger at Xie Tian's plane.
"Damn you," Xie Tian cursed angrily and had no choice but to take evasive action and at the same time pressed the machine gun firing button.
Xie Tian only had a dozen rounds of 20mm machine gun ammunition left, and now he was ready to go all out, firing out seven or eight rounds in a row.
Machine gun bullets flew past Xie Tian's Zero fighter. The rear-seat crew member of the Imp bomber's marksmanship was quite accurate. One bullet hit Xie Tian's wing during the evasive maneuver and punched a hole in the wing.
Xie Tian's bullets also hit the Japanese transport plane at the same time, three hits, one on the wing and two on the fuselage.
The power of the 20mm machine gun is not comparable to that of the 7.7mm machine gun. The two shots that hit the fuselage instantly tore out two football-sized holes in the fuselage of the transport aircraft, while the other bullet that hit the wing was a European bullet. Possessed by God, it directly hit the oil line of the left wing engine, and the transport plane's wing quickly ignited a fire.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
Only then did the screams of terror come from the Japanese plane radio.
Xie Tian was not willing to miss the good fighter plane brought by the sneak attack. The plane only slightly avoided the machine gun interception of the crew in the rear of the bomber, and immediately aimed at another transport plane flying in front.
The fighter jets hit the large and slow-moving transport aircraft. The transport aircraft was simply a living target for the fighter jets and had no power to parry at all.
