On the third day, there was still no movement from the little devil's plane.
The sky in northwestern Shanxi is silent except for the occasional plane of Boss Chen passing by, transporting goods to the New First Regiment, New Second Regiment and Independent Regiment.
But that was on a small scale, and the Japanese's large-scale bomber group still did not appear.
The fourth day.
Beiping.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
At around five o'clock in the morning, the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji, suddenly woke up from his dream.
Just now he had a dream, in which he cut off Li Yunlong's head with his own hands, made a specimen of Li Yunlong's head, and put it on his desk to admire.
Although he didn't know what Li Yunlong looked like, Okamura knew clearly that the person in the dream was Li Yunlong.
After putting on his military uniform, hanging his gun and general's sword, Okamura Neji washed up casually.
This dream is very real, and it feels like it is real in the dream.
Okamura Neiji felt that this dream might be giving him some kind of reminder.
It's time to send Li Yunlong on his way.
Okamura Neji was in a good mood today. He was wearing a new military uniform, which looked a bit formal. He was not impressed by his general epaulette.
Okamura Neiji's goal is to lead more than 1 million Japanese troops in China to conquer the entire China for the Great Japanese Empire and the Locusts, establish immortal meritorious deeds, and become famous in the annals of Japanese history.
With this goal in mind, Okamura Neji walked into the operations hall under the protection of several expert guards.
"Your Excellency General..."
A combat staff officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Saber who was on duty quickly stood up and saluted Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neiji raised his hand slightly in return, and then ordered: "Iwashita-kun, immediately notify the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff... to come to the operations hall."
Neji Okamura hesitated whether to inform Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo.
If these two people were spies of the Eighth Route Army, wouldn't it be possible that the information about the bombing of Dagu Town would be leaked in advance?
But Okamura Neiji still ordered the two men to be summoned. As long as no one was allowed to leave the operations hall before the bombing of Dagu Town was completed, there would be no big problem.
"Hi!"
Operations Staff Officer Eikichi Iwashita paused, then reached for the phone, shook it a few times, and then put the phone to his ear:
"Moxi moxi..."
At this time, Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo were still sleeping, so they could only send guards to wake up Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo.
As soon as Iwashita Eikichi hung up the phone, Okamura Neji ordered again:
"Immediately order the 16th Flight Regiment and the 20th Flight Regiment at the airport to attach aerial bombs to all aircraft and fill the aircraft with fuel and be on standby."
At that moment, Rong Ji quickly shook the phone handle, put the phone to his ear, and asked the switch to transfer the call to the airport, giving orders to the 16th Flying Group and the 20th Flying Group.
After that, Okamura Neiji issued another order to prepare a convoy.
Shortly after issuing three orders in a row, Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe and the Deputy Chief of Staff hurriedly walked into the operations hall. Behind them, several combat staff officers followed closely.
"General, what happened?"
Tanabe Moritake asked with a puzzled expression and eyes.
"Nothing happened." Okamura Neiji turned around and said calmly, "I am planning to bomb Dagu Town this morning."
Tanabe Moritake and Yumo Seizan looked relaxed. The General thought something had happened when he woke them up so early.
But the next second, the two people were shocked again, and Mo Jingsan said: "Your Excellency, the general, is finally going to take action against Dagu Town?"
Although the information from Pangolin said that the headquarters of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was suspected to be in Dagu Town.
However, according to the analysis of the staff department, Dagu Town is very likely to be the headquarters of the new regiment.
That's why Okamura Neji was so desperate to bomb Dagu Town.
According to Okamura Neiji, the pangolin is a senior agent trained by Doi Madoka Kenji himself, and he only has a single line of contact with him. Although Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo know the existence of this person, they do not know the specific identity of the pangolin. .
so.
Okamura Neiji believed that the pangolin could not be exposed, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route New Regiment did not know that the location of the regiment had been exposed.
There's a lot to be done.
The reason why Okamura Neiji carried out the sudden air attack was mainly because he was afraid of encountering the air support called by the Eighth Route Army and the anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
If Dagu Town is really the headquarters of the new regiment, then Dagu Town will definitely deploy a lot of anti-aircraft firepower.
But if it is a sudden attack and the plane drops the aerial bombs and then runs away, the losses of the plane and the pilot will be smaller.
Deploying two flying groups could completely wipe Dagu Town off the map.
"That's right!" Okamura Neji looked at Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo with an expressionless face, "I'm going to personally fly to Dagu Town to observe the battle. Which of you is willing to accompany me?"
Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo were suddenly startled and secretly asked, Commander, are you stupid?
Don’t you know that flying to Dagu Town is dangerous?
Even if you risk your life, you still want to drag the two of them along. Who dares to go?
"General, please think twice." Tanabe Moritake advised, "This is really too dangerous. If it encounters a plane called by the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid..."
"Your Excellency, General." Arimoe Seizo also quickly advised, "Don't go there in person. If you have to go to the front line to observe the battle situation, I and Tanabe-kun can go there on behalf of Your Excellency, General."
Tanabe Moritake glanced at Yusue Seizan and thought to himself, don't take me with you if you want to die, but there was an expression of approval on his face.
"I have made up my mind." Okamura Neiji said coldly, looking at Yusue Seizo, "Since Yusue-kun also wants to go, then you can accompany me on the transport plane to Dagu Town to watch the battle."
"Hi!"
Okamura Neiji's orders were given, and even though he didn't want to go, Yusue Seizan had to bite the bullet and lower his head and obey, and he couldn't show an expression of not wanting to go on his face.
If Neji Okamura and Moritake Tanabe see that he doesn't want to go, he will be in big trouble.
"Tanabe-kun, please stay at the headquarters and keep in touch with me at all times."
Then, Okamura Neji looked at Tanabe Moritake again:
"I have ordered the guards to protect the operations hall, and no one is allowed to enter or exit the operations hall."
"Then can the communications staff enter and leave the operations hall?" Tanabe Moritake asked. He knew very well that the general said he was protecting the operations hall, but in fact he just didn't trust them.
The Operations Hall is located within the North China Front Army Headquarters. It is the safest place in North China. Does it still need protection?
Okamura Neiji said: "The communications staff and communications department will work in the operations hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps at the door. The communications staff officer and several telegraph soldiers came in carrying several radios.
The communications staff saluted Okamura Neiji and others with a military salute. With Okamura Neiji's permission, the telegraph soldiers put the radio on the table and started working.
After the explanation, Okamura Neji looked at Arisu Seizo: "Arimu-kun, let's go."
"Hi!"
Yu Suejing ordered two combat staff officers, followed behind Okamura Neji, and walked out together.
Arriving at the gate of the headquarters, a convoy with a very abnormal security level was on standby.
Okamura Neji, Arisu Seizan and others got into the bulletproof armored vehicle and drove towards the Peking Airport.
More than half an hour later, the convoy drove safely into Beiping Airport.
At this time, the 16th Flight Regiment and then the 20th Flight Regiment had just finished loading aerial bombs and filling the aircraft with high-grade aviation fuel.
Seeing Okamura Neji arriving in person, Watanabe Mitsuo and Amakasu Saburo came to greet him in person.
Knowing that Neji Okamura was going to take a transport plane to watch the battle above Dago Town, Mitsuo Watanabe and Saburo Amakasu were both shocked and advised Neji Okamura not to go.
However, Okamura Neji had already decided to leave, and Watanabe Mitsuo and Amakasaburo had no choice but to send five fighter jets for protection, arrange for a veteran pilot to fly the transport plane, and instruct the transport pilot to never get close to the sky above Dagu Town.
Okamura Neiji's order is to make Dagu Town completely reduced to scorched earth without a single piece of intact rubble.
Then, Mitsuo Watanabe and Saburo Amakasu gathered the pilots and crew members of their respective flight groups.
Just like Mitsutake Hosono, the two old Japanese soldiers gave speeches and mobilized before the war, mobilizing the pilots' bushido and fanaticism.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
"..."
And when it was learned that the commander of the North China Front, General Okamura Neiji, would personally fly to the sky above Dagu Town to watch the battle.
As soon as these words were said, the Bushido and fanaticism of the Japanese pilots and crew members were completely ignited.
Your Majesty the General came to watch the battle in person, so the Japanese pilots were naturally prepared to show off.
After the pre-war mobilization was completed, the Japanese pilots and crew members got into the cabin one after another, waiting for Okamura Neiji to personally issue orders.
Time passed as the Japanese pilots waited anxiously.
"Set off!"
In a KI57 transport plane, Neji Okamura gave the takeoff order in a cold tone.
As Okamura Neji's order was issued, the Japanese pilots started the aircraft engines one after another.
At this time, it was still dark, and the propellers of fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance planes suddenly turned, and under the guidance of the Japanese ground crew, they took off with a huge roar.
After the planes took off, they formed a flying formation in the sky and flew towards Dagu Town in the black night sky.
When the two flight groups arrived over Dagu Town, it was just dawn, which was just convenient for the air raid on Dagu Town.
Okamura Neiji took off with some orders.
…
at the same time.
In the tunnel position of the new regiment outside Dagu Town, the telegraph machine at the regiment headquarters started ticking.
Not long after, a telegram from two Japanese flight groups taking off from Peiping Airport and heading for Dagu Town was translated by the decoder.
Li Yunlong was woken up by the combat staff officer on duty: "Captain, Boss Chen has called to report that the Japanese plane has taken off, and two Japanese flight groups are flying towards Dagu Town."
He jumped up, took the telegram from the hands of the combat staff, read the contents of the telegram under the oil lamp, and looked slightly happy.
"Fuck..."
"It's finally here. I thought I wasn't coming! Go and wake up the political commissar, chief of staff, and deputy commander immediately!"
"Notify all air defense groups and prepare for battle!"
At this moment, Li Yunlong's eyes became as sharp as an eagle.
…
