Even with Neji Okamura's scheming determination, he couldn't help but look horrified at this moment.
The information about the suspected headquarters of the new Eighth Route Army regiment in Dagu Town came from senior agent Pangolin.
The First Army discovered the airport of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army near Zhaojiayu.
Immediately, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, sent planes to blow up the airport of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and nearby villages. This showed that the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment was near the airport.
Dagu Town is only about 10 kilometers away from Zhaojiayu.
As soon as the information about the pangolin came in, combined with the previously synthesized information, the North China Front Army Headquarters determined with a high probability that the headquarters of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was in Dagu Town.
Intelligence is like this, true or false. When a commander gets the information, the first thing he has to judge is whether it is true or false.
If the information is true, if you take action, you can achieve your goal. If the information is false, you may miss the point or even fall into the enemy's trap.
Of course, there is a third situation, which is the current situation.
The information is true, and the enemy knows that the information has been leaked, so he deliberately set a trap for you to get into it.
In order to kill Li Yunlong, Okamura Neji did not hesitate to use all the fighters, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft of the 16th Flying Group and the 20th Flying Group.
On the way to northwest Shanxi by plane, Okamura Neiji had reviewed it many times in his mind and felt that there was nothing wrong with this bombing mission.
The Eighth Route Army will never know the information in advance.
But in the current situation, Okamura Neji knew that he had fallen into Li Yunlong's trap again.
What went wrong?
Could it be that the pangolin was captured by the Eighth Route Army and then betrayed the empire?
Pangolin is a native of Kenji Enji, and Okamura Neiji has only seen brief information about pangolins. He doesn't know what pangolins look like, what kind of education they have received, and what kind of experiences they have.
idiot!
Various thoughts passed through his mind like lightning. Okamura Neji, who couldn't think of a clue, could only curse bitterly in his heart.
"idiot!"
"What are you doing standing still?"
"Why don't you hurry up and inform Colonel Saburo Amakasu to lead the flying regiment to leave the enemy's air defense fire network..."
Seeing the combat staff officer holding the receiver and microphone, seemingly frightened by the scene in front of him, Youmo Jingsan became furious.
"Hi!"
The combat staff quickly picked up the receiver and microphone of the radio and called: "Call Colonel Amakasu Saburo, call Colonel Amakasu Saburo..."
"Protect Your Majesty the General and leave here immediately."
Mitsuo Watanabe, the leader of the 16th Flying Regiment, glanced in the direction of Dagu Town with a gloomy look.
In just a few seconds, Mitsuo Watanabe saw that several aircraft of the 16th Flight Regiment were blown up by ground anti-aircraft fire.
Ordinary heavy machine guns do not have that effect. At most, they will make a bullet hole in the aircraft. If it does not hit the mailbox or explode the aerial bomb, it will never explode the aircraft in the air.
At least 20mm machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns.
The Eighth Route Army actually has so many 20mm machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns.
This firepower is simply terrifying...
Even Mitsuo Watanabe, who was experienced in flying combat operations, couldn't help but take a breath.
He really wanted to lead his fighter jets to the rescue, but he had more important things to do, which was to protect Okamura Neji.
What's more, the enemy has deployed at least a thousand firepower points on the ground. The five fighter jets they sent to rescue them were just delivering food to the Eighth Route Army.
Even if all the aerial bombs and machine gun ammunition carried by the five fighter jets were used, it would not have the slightest effect.
The enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was too much, and the 16th Flying Regiment and the 20th Flying Regiment were trapped.
And if General Okamura Neiji's plane is shot down here, then the pilots who protect Okamura Neiji may all have to commit seppuku.
As Mitsuo Watanabe's order was issued, the other four fighter jets protected Neji Okamura's transport plane, while Mitsuo Watanabe's plane was hung firmly behind the transport plane.
From the perspective of Mitsuo Watanabe.
Directly in front is Okamura Neiji's transport plane. As long as he presses the launch button of the 12.7 mm machine gun, Okamura Neiji's plane will be blown up by the volley.
…
"Captain, there are Japanese planes over there too."
Huang Erhu from the guard camp said to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong turned around and asked, "Where?"
Huang Erhu pointed in a direction. Li Yunlong looked and saw a few small black spots in the sky six or seven kilometers away. He quickly raised his telescope and looked again, and six aircraft appeared in his field of vision.
Because almost all of Li Yunlong's attention is in the direction of Dagu Town.
So I didn't notice that there were several Japanese planes in the distance watching secretly.
Li Yunlong adjusted the focus and saw clearly that they were 1 transport plane and 5 fighter jets.
On the side, Zhang Dabiao, Wang Dehou, Zhao Gang and others also raised their binoculars and looked in the direction of the six Japanese planes.
"Be a good boy." Zhang Dabiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "There are five fighter jets protecting one transport plane. Is there some Japanese high-ranking official in that transport plane?"
Among the weapons and equipment provided by Boss Chen, there are many telescopes.
The product produced by the system must be a high-quality product. Each commander of the new regiment squad leader and above is equipped with a high-precision 7x Zeiss telescope.
In addition to telescopes, regimental personnel are each equipped with a pair of high-power artillery scopes capable of measuring range.
Xing Zhiguo's expression changed and he said tentatively: "Could it be that old devil Okamura Neji in that transport plane?"
Li Yunlong said with sharp eyes.
"The one who can be protected by five Japanese transport planes must be a high-ranking Japanese official."
"At least a major general or a lieutenant general."
"Chief of Staff, immediately order the 88mm anti-aircraft gun battalion to shoot down the Japanese plane over there at all costs."
This distance is beyond the range of the Oerlikon 20mm machine gun and M2 heavy machine gun.
Even the 37mm anti-aircraft cannon can't reach it. Only the 88mm anti-aircraft cannon can be used to barely reach it.
"yes!"
Wang Dehou immediately grabbed the handset of the mobile phone and ordered:
"This is the regiment headquarters, calling the 88mm anti-aircraft gun battalion..."
"This is the regiment headquarters, calling the 88mm anti-aircraft gun battalion..."
"Your troops immediately fire at the six aircraft in the northwest sky and shoot down the transport plane at all costs!"
The 88mm anti-aircraft gun battalion and the 37mm anti-aircraft gun battalion were deployed on the mountains around Dagu Town and were firing at the Japanese aircraft over Dagu Town.
at this time.
The 88mm anti-aircraft gun battalion commander received the order from the regiment headquarters and immediately ordered the soldiers of the anti-aircraft gun battalion under his command to turn the muzzle direction, and the observers immediately reported the distance and orientation of the enemy aircraft.
Not long after, a series of rapid muffled sounds were heard from the position of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun battalion.
As the 88mm anti-aircraft gun fired in the direction of the Japanese aircraft, explosions continued to occur around the Japanese aircraft, and smoke filled the air.
A Japanese fighter jet on the left side of the transport plane was hit by shrapnel and caught fire. The plane lost control and plummeted toward the ground.
A moment later, four fighter jets covered the transport plane as it penetrated into the thick clouds, and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun fired in the direction of the clouds.
The Japanese fighter jet that was hit fell to the ground, hitting a ball of orange-red sparks on the hill, and the bomb under the belly of the aircraft exploded.
…
at the same time.
In the sky northwest of Dagu Town, in the Japanese transport plane, Okamura Neji's face was full of shock.
As a Japanese Army General, Okamura Neiji, who was assigned to the North China Front Army Headquarters, was so frightened that his heart was in his throat just now.
Youmo Jing was almost scared to death at three o'clock in the morning.
If the fighter jet on the left hadn't blocked the shrapnel for the transport plane just now, the shrapnel would have flown into the cockpit of the transport plane.
When the time comes, even Amaterasu will be unable to save her.
Yousue Seizan couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Okamura Neiji. What do you think the dignified commander of the North China Front, a general of the Imperial Army, was doing here to watch the battle?
Looking for excitement?
Can't we just leave this matter to Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe?
Okamura Neiji also had some regrets at this time. He wanted to see with his own eyes that Dagu Town, where the new regiment headquarters was located, was wiped off the map under the bombing of two aviation groups of the Locust Army.
Prepare to enjoy a wave of pleasure and feast your eyes.
Seeing the northern part of Dagu Town being bombed by aerial bombs, Gangcun really enjoyed the pleasure and was feasting his eyes.
More than 1,000 anti-aircraft firepower points of the Eighth Route Army opened fire at the same time. It was a Star Wars-like scene that even Okamura Neiji, who was in a high position, rarely saw.
However, the pleasure and happiness are short-lived, followed by endless pain.
"Your Excellency, General." Deputy Chief of Staff Youmo Seizo calmed down and said in a deep voice, "The New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and has the ability to defend against high-altitude fighters. The caliber of its anti-aircraft guns is at least 75 mm."
After a pause, Youmo Jingsan added: "In the past, there has never been any intelligence showing that the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army possesses anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of more than 75 mm."
Okamura Neiji looked gloomy when he heard this. The Eighth Route Army actually had more than 75 mm anti-aircraft guns. This was not good news for the aviation force of the North China Front.
In the past two years, every once in a while, a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army would emerge with some new weapons with powerful firepower.
20mm machine guns, large-caliber heavy machine guns, 75mm mountain guns, anti-tank guns, 105mm howitzers, 150mm howitzers, every time a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army appeared with new weapons, the Japanese Army Staff Department recorded them.
This time, an anti-aircraft gun with a caliber of 75 mm or more actually appeared. They were so far away that they were almost hit by the anti-aircraft gun.
Even Okamura Neji and Arisu Seizo almost ended up in Dagu Town.
Seeing Okamura Neiji's ugly face, Arisue Seizo said again: "But fortunately, the Eighth Route Army's new regiment does not have many anti-aircraft guns above 75 mm, and their anti-aircraft artillery soldiers lack combat experience."
If they were experienced anti-aircraft artillerymen, they should have fired at the six planes when they were circling over Dagu Town.
Instead of waiting until they are about to slip away before shooting, and the accuracy is not good.
"Arimatsu-kun." Okamura Neiji said angrily: "Order the 16th Flight Regiment and the 20th Flight Regiment to return to Peking Airport immediately!"
"Your Excellency, the order has been issued." Youmo Seizan responded, but he was thinking secretly that the 16th Flying Group and the 20th Flying Group might suffer heavy losses this time.
Not only was there no profit in this battle, but there was also a loss of blood, and it was the kind of loss that went to grandma's family.
