"Be more careful on the road. I always feel like something will happen this time."
Before boarding the plane, Li Hang gave Liang Tiancheng a reminder to the three team members.
"Squadron leader thinks someone has leaked the secrets of our mission?" Liang Tiancheng looked at the airport suspiciously.
The airport is tightly guarded, and outsiders are prohibited from entering or exiting at this time. Even if a spy sneaks into it, the news cannot be conveyed.
"That's not the case." Li Hang shook his head, "I'm worried about the Xuzhou side. Now that the war there is tense, we can't rule out that the little Japs can penetrate deeper there, so we still have to be careful."
In fact, Li Hang was still worried that he had hurt the Japanese army aviation last time and might retaliate heavily this time.
It can be seen from the Japanese bombing of Xuzhou two days ago that the Japanese Army Aviation was really angry.
With a record of 0-14, Tokugawa Haomin can't help but feel embarrassed about it.
"Okay, let's all be careful and make sure we don't make any big mistakes!" Liang Tiancheng thought it was nothing, mainly because he believed what Li Hang said.
Although Li Hang joined the Air Force later than him, the other pilots in the 23rd Squadron were convinced by his personal charm.
The other two pilots nodded as well.
This time, it was Li Hang and Liang Tiancheng who formed a fighting team.
The level of both of them is very high, so it is a bit inappropriate to do this, and it stands to reason that they should be separated.
But there is a problem, that is, letting other people act as wingmen for the two people may not necessarily be able to keep up with the two people's ideas, but will become a drag.
So the other two are a complete squad.
Li Hang was just a little worried, but he didn't tell Dong Mingde about it. After all, the latter was the deputy captain. If he said it without any basis, it would only cause more trouble.
He naturally wants everything to go well.
Once ready, the entire formation took off one after another.
During this period, what Li Hang was worried about did not happen. As long as the return trip went smoothly, there would be no problem.
The main reason why the micro-management expert suddenly came to Xuzhou today was because the fighting in Taierzhuang became fierce.
This morning, the Japanese troops in Lunan received reinforcements.
In addition to the Furong Wing, an additional infantry brigade, a field artillery brigade, a mountain artillery squadron and an armored vehicle squadron were added to the Sakamoto detachment.
As a result, the Japanese army in Taierzhuang had 12 more 75mm field guns, 4 75mm mountain guns, and 4 92 infantry guns.
Although the total number of Japanese troops was only five or six thousand, their combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced, and the pressure on Taierzhuang's defensive battle suddenly increased.
For the Xuzhou front line, this was the established plan to contain the Japanese army in Taierzhuang, then use military force to cut off the Japanese army's retreat in Taierzhuang, and encircle and annihilate it.
But the micromanager didn't want to worry about this. He was worried that Xuzhou would fall, so he hurried here.
After arriving in Xuzhou, he hurried to the train station south of Taierzhuang.
Not to mention, it is really courageous, but it will definitely boost the morale of the frontline soldiers.
. . . . . .
"There were a lot of planes landing at Xuzhou Airport just now. It seems that some Chinese fighter planes were escorting a German transport plane."
"What important supplies are you pulling?"
"What important supplies require ten China fighter planes? And according to observations, those China fighters are still new fighters, which are somewhat different from the previous bi-wing fighters."
"Do you suspect that the Chinese demon is here again?"
In a relatively secluded house somewhere in Xuzhou City, two men wearing ordinary Chinese gowns were whispering.
Needless to say, these two people are the intelligence agents of the Japanese.
The reason why they knew Li Hang was because of the newspaper on the 25th.
Many newspapers reported that on the 24th, Li Hang and others shot down 14 Japanese planes and damaged 1 in the air over the Taierzhuang battlefield, with 4 enemies against 15, and no losses of their own.
This report naturally greatly encouraged the soldiers on the Xuzhou battlefield, and the little Japanese who had penetrated deeply into China naturally also knew about it.
Although the Japanese Army Air Forces launched retaliatory bombings, they were not intercepted by the Chinese Air Force and failed to take revenge. It felt like a fist hitting cotton.
However, the Japanese intelligence officers also focused on Xuzhou and believed that there must be a reason for the short arrival of Li Hang and others.
"Whether it's the China Devil or not, I'm not sure. Our people can't get close to the airport. However, China's advanced fighter planes appeared at Xuzhou Airport again. They should be escorting someone, not pulling any important supplies.
What important supplies need to be escorted by 10 fighter planes? "
"Does Mr. Ishihara think that important figures from the Chinese people are coming to the front?"
"It's very possible. If the aviation force can attack in time, it may be able to achieve miraculous results."
"Yoshi. I will report it to my superiors immediately and let them seize this opportunity."
. . . . . .
"Li Hang, there's no need for you to go to the plane to eat, right? We're just escorting here. This time we didn't say we were going to the front line to boost morale."
During lunch, Dong Mingde felt a little funny when he saw Li Hang preparing to leave the canteen with his lunch box.
Because not only Li Hang, but also Liang Tiancheng and the other two people were like this. Li Hang was actually bringing food to the other two people.
"This place is too close to the front line. If you stay on the plane, if there is an emergency, you can take off in time." Li Hang smiled and went out with his lunch box without explaining too much.
He was a bit unconventional in doing so, but the Taierzhuang front line or the canal defense line were only a few dozen kilometers away from Xuzhou. Even if the front line discovered a Japanese plane that was attacking, it might not even take ten minutes to reach Xuzhou City.
It takes time for the plane to take off, and it also takes time for the pilot to run from his resting place to the plane.
Li Hang's move was just to save time.
"Captain Li seems to be really making a fuss out of a molehill." A pilot from the 21st Squadron couldn't help complaining.
Li Hang's doing this made them a little embarrassed.
"Actually, I think Captain Li's actions make sense and can shorten our reaction time." Someone suddenly said something.
When everyone took a look, they realized it was Yanagisaki, and no one doubted it for a while.
Yanagisawa was one of the new four kings publicly recognized by the government before. He was also the face of the 21st Squadron and is now a squad leader.
"Okay, eat quickly and go check in after eating. Captain Li is right about one thing. This place is too close to the front line. We are responsible for protecting the safety of the principal and must maintain a high degree of alert." Although Dong Mingde was a little unhappy Li Hang, but the other party was not wrong either.
At this time, he naturally would not ignore the overall situation just because he felt a little uncomfortable.
Dong Mingde said so, even if others were dissatisfied, they could only hold it in and speed up their meal.
When the fleet returned at around three o'clock in the afternoon, no accident occurred amidst the vigilance of all pilots.
But what they were afraid of would come as no surprise. Less than a minute after their entire fleet took off, without even forming a queue, a dark cloud appeared in the northern sky.
