Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 272 Capture the pilot of the Eighth Route Army for me!
"There is a bug in the previous chapters. Saburo Endo should be the major general of Army Aviation. The commander of HNA can't be found, so I will name it at random first, and then change it when I find it. I wrote more than 100 characters. Duan is free."

Yichang, Army Aviation Base.

"Hurry up! Fill up the aviation fuel needed by all fighters!"

"In addition to the [-] heavy bombs and [-] single-light aerial bombs, the [-] fighter jets also need to be loaded with bombs! Every extra bomb is one more possibility!"

"If the group of navy red deer take away all the credit, where should we put the face of our big Japanese brother Lu Hang!"

Hearing the roar of his major general, every ground team showed a bitter and helpless expression.

In order to speed up the preparation, the staff of the entire Yichang Airport are very busy.The devils have been working since the afternoon, and they only hate that their parents gave birth to their own hands.

It stands to reason that a normal commander at such a speed would not be able to find any faults.

However, Saburo Endo is not a professional in aviation. He has been in charge of the artillery of the Kwantung Army for a long time. It can be said that he is a typical layman leading an expert.

This old devil is not only a badass, but also humbly learning. As a major general of Lu Hang, he doesn't even understand the most basic maintenance process, and he just beats and scolds his subordinates blindly on weekdays.

In fact, in the Japanese Army Aviation, many senior generals were transferred from different arms.Lieutenant General Toshiki Kinoshita, the commander of the Third Flying Group and the defeated subordinate of the First Air Division, was originally from the infantry.

Frequent random points are also one of the reasons why Army Aviation is not as good as Hainan Airlines.

Just as Saburo Endo was about to return to his command post, a Chief of Staff hurriedly came to him.The other party's face was extremely pale, and he could tell at a glance that an accident had happened.

"Major General, something serious happened!"

"The First Air Division of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield and fought an air battle with the No.11 Air Force of the Red Deer Navy on the outskirts of the mountain city."

"According to the intelligence fed back from each sentry point, the enemy has now gained an advantage across the board, and it is estimated that it will not take long to eat up HNA's first batch of offensive troops!"

"Nani!?"

As soon as these words came out, Saburo Endo suddenly turned pale with shock.

This is not because the old devil suddenly realized what it means to have a cold lips and teeth, but he is simply afraid that the Eighth Route Army Air Force will attack them at Yichang Airport.

After the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, the army aviation in various regions basically changed color with the first division of Wenkong.

The opponent is not only far ahead in terms of the performance of the fighter, but also very disrespectful of martial arts every time, and fights in groups as soon as the battle starts.

When the quality and quantity are not as good as the enemy, the entire dispatched army is not qualified to fight the air force of the Eighth Route Army except the Kwantung Army Army Aviation.

At present, there are three flying teams stationed at Yichang Airport, with more than one hundred fighters of various types.

However, since Army Aviation has collected the basic information of the Hurricane and Spitfire fighters, it can be judged from the voyage that the First Air Division of the Eighth Route Army has no possibility of supporting the mountain city.

As a result, among the three flying teams, only the No.60 team is a combat division.

The remaining No.12 and 98 teams are all heavy bomber formations composed of [-] heavy bombers.

If the Eighth Route Army came to surprise them without saying a word after finishing the navy red deer, the three flying teams would definitely not escape the fate of being wiped out.

After all, there are only more than 30 fighters, and they are a force composed of pure fighters.

We can't let more than 70 [-] heavy bombers take off forcibly, jump to the enemy's head and throw aerial bombs.

Those two flying teams are the treasures of the Kwantung Army, and they were established to deal with the torrent of steel in Maozi in the north.

Once the precious plane is destroyed at Yichang Airport, I am afraid that Commander-in-Chief Hata Toshiro will come forward in person, and he will inevitably commit seppuku and apologize.

Thinking of this, Saburo Endo immediately said to the chief of staff and the communications soldier beside him:
"Raise the air defense alert! Let all the fighter jets go into the air immediately! Take strict precautions against the enemy attacking from the west!"

"All [-] heavy explosions and [-] single-light unloaded aerial bombs! Don't worry about the rest of the problem, take off and transfer to Dingjiazhou Airport and Yanglinshan Airport."

"I will inform the superiors, you are only responsible for retreating!"

The order to evacuate immediately reached the ears of every pilot through the broadcast at the airport.

Under the threat of death, all the devils broke out with [-]% cohesion.One after another, Type [-] fighter jets took off into the sky one after another, and then scattered around to undertake security work.

The ground crew also began to remove the hung bombs and strictly followed the orders of their major general.

Due to the shortage of fuel and ammunition, the [-]st Division has no plans to attack Yichang Airport immediately.Otherwise, with Saburo Endo's coquettish operation of unloading bombs before the battle, it will definitely become a joke that later generations will talk about one step ahead of Nagumo Tada.

······
Hankou, No.11 air force base.

"Baga! What do you all eat!"

"Why haven't we contacted the first batch of attacking teams yet? Could it be that the fruit still has a hidden aviation force that can kill the ninety-six land attack fleet escorted by more than a dozen Zero fighter jets!"

"Trash! It's all trash! Spread your legs! Raise your hands! Grit your teeth!"

As a war machine designed for the Pacific Ocean and Southeast Asia, the Nine-Six Land Attack is equipped with a radio station for long-distance communication.

When the attack aircraft group was about to arrive at the mountain city, the commander who led the attack sent back a telegram according to the rules.

But now nearly an hour has passed, and the battle report that should have been sent back a long time ago has not been in place for a long time.There are various indications that our advance troops are likely to encounter accidents.

In a fit of rage, Tsunayoshi Tsuchida directly pulled out the Naval Heirloom Spirit Infusion Stick.He was going to use this group of unlucky communication soldiers in front of him to vent his grievances!

Seeing the signal soldiers obediently getting ready, Major General HNA nodded with satisfaction.

The spiritual infusion stick in Tsuchida Tsunayoshi's hand is half a meter long and five centimeters wide. In order to increase the weight of the wooden stick, he specially injected mercury into it.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for a tortured soldier to walk out of the door standing up, and the bruises on his buttocks will never fade within ten days and a half months.

But the old devil doesn't care about such trivial matters. In his opinion, only physical punishment can instill the concept of victory in the soldiers, and only the mentally weak and incompetent will make mistakes due to lack of will.

"Snapped!"

The first stick fell, and the communications soldier staggered a step forward.

When soldiers were punished, not only could they not cry out in pain, but they had to shout out loudly while being beaten.Otherwise, the spiritual infusion was unsuccessful, and the punishment would have to be increased.

Obviously, Tsuchida Tsuna played a little high.He didn't care about the painful expressions of his subordinates at all, and even wanted to change to a thicker and bigger spiritual injection rod.

"Have a good understanding of the spirit of our navy!"

"Learn to be ashamed and be brave! Enter the noble battle order! You must take the corresponding responsibility!"

Serving in the No.11 Air Force of Hainan Airlines is a very torturous thing.

The major general who was originally in charge of training the aviation force was Yamaguchi, who was famous for his strict training and unkindness.

During the 101 combat record last year, several pilots died in training accidents in order to complete Yamaguchi's demanding and difficult training subjects.

Privately, the soldiers called him the murderer commander.

After finally looking forward to the stars and the moon to send Yamaguchi Tamon away, the lunatic Tsuchida Tsunara came from the mainland again.

It seems that the old devil suffered severe bullying during school and when he first served in the army. Every time something went wrong, he would intensify the corporal punishment of the soldiers.

When receiving the spirit injection stick, the devils will be ridiculed and ridiculed, and often have to bear the insults of other people's words.

Such double torture, both psychological and physical, caused the signal soldier who was beaten to gradually have the idea of ​​fighting against the enemy.He clenched his fist tightly, as if he would turn around and fight back in the next second.

But at this moment, Admiral Shigetaro Yuta, the commander of the Chinese fleet, walked into the communication room.

The sudden arrival of the immediate leader made Tsuchida Tsuna stop his corporal punishment of the soldiers.And he waved his hand to signal all the messengers to leave the room.

"Commander Yuta! Are you here to inquire about the attacking troops?"

"I have just punished the communications soldiers responsible for the communication. It is estimated that the battle report from the front line will be sent back in a short time. Please wait for a while."

After speaking, the whole room fell into a full half minute of silence.

With Yuta Shigetaro's sigh, a big fight was firmly drawn on Tsuchida Tsunayoshi's face, in a sense, it was tit for tat.

"Baga! You are also a waste!"

"The first batch of attacking troops have been completely wiped out! Do you know who the enemy is? It is the Eighth Route Army that you have promised not to appear on the battlefield!"

"The news came back from the army! My face is going to be lost by you!"

As soon as these words were said, Tsuchida Tsunayoshi instantly fell into panic.

The meaning in the words of my superiors is very obvious, and the blame for the failure of this combat mission must be borne by myself.The loss of a total of fifty fighters of various types can definitely make a major general be beaten to the end.

"Your Excellency, Commander! Please give me another chance!"

"In the days to come, we will also implement Operation Plan No. 102! You need a front-line commander to formulate various complicated combat plans!"

"Please save my life! As long as the more advanced Type [-] land attack and more Zero fighter jets arrive at the Hankou base, I will personally lead the team to wash away the shame."

The so-called Operation Plan No. 102 was actually a bombing operation aimed at further destroying Guoguo's will to resist the war, thereby forcing the people of the Republic of China to submit.

The plan was put forward by Shigetaro Yuta, the advocate and implementer of the use of air power to force the surrender of the fruit.

The old devil has also uttered nonsense in public many times, believing that in order to quickly deal with the Sino-Japanese Incident, it is necessary to deal a devastating blow to the mountain city, and the aviation force is the main force of the attack.

It has to be said that he definitely has a common language with Meyer, who is quitting his lollipop addiction.After all, in Dunkirk, the Air Force of Desan also thought so.

Under normal circumstances, Tsunayoshi Tsuchida's proposal just now was definitely a successful flattery.

Even if he couldn't keep his military rank because of the failure of the mission, it would definitely be no problem to save his own life.

But when Commander Shigetaro Yuta heard about the No. 102 battle plan, he immediately showed a very unhappy expression on his old face.

"Operation Plan 102 will soon cease to exist, and our superiors may be writing new orders!"

"Those damned army red deer, actually put forward the theory that bombing mountain cities is useless because of some small losses! They are all sinners of my brother's country! They are moths!"

"After you die, I will take care of your wife, so don't worry about it."

Although Saburo Endo is only a major general, as a senior officer who has worked his way out of the grassroots, it can be said that his whole body is full of hearts.

Ever since he came to Yichang and was in charge of commanding Lu Hang to attack the mountain city, he began to prepare himself for the back road.

After receiving the information about the disastrous defeat of HNA's No.11 Air Force, the old devil directed the troops to move to a safe rear, and at the same time submitted the "Opinions on Inland Offensive Operations" that he had prepared long ago to his superiors.

In the letter, Saburo Endo pointed out that the bombing effects reported by the troops have been exaggerated.The mountain city has not turned into a ruin at all, but has been developing from the peninsula area to its surroundings.

After years of baptism, the people of the Republic of China seem to have acquired immunity, and they no longer feel much about the bombing.The idea of ​​bringing it to its knees simply by the power of aviation is absolutely impossible.

Coupled with the Eighth Route Army Air Force, there is already a way to increase the range of fighter jets to support mountain cities at any time. Even if the Army Aviation is equipped with a large number of Type [-] Fighting Falcons, it does not make sense.

This move is really a draw from the bottom, not only let the upper echelons of the army dispel the idea of ​​continuing to bomb the mountain city, but also allows their own troops to be transferred away from the dangerous Yichang Airport.

He also blamed HNA for the failure of the mission, and even wiped out the crime of retreating without a fight in a few words.

After explaining everything, Yuta Shigetaro left the communication room without looking back, leaving only Tsuchida Tsunayoshi like a puddle of mud.

······
The perspective returns to the mountain city.

Half an hour after the No.11 Air Force of the Japanese Army was wiped out, the lanterns in the urban area were changed to green one after another, and the citizens hiding in the public air-raid shelters were seen again.

Thanks to the First Air Division's clean resolution of the battle, the oxygen in the large tunnel was barely sufficient, and no large-scale suffocation tragedy occurred.

When the door of the air-raid shelter was opened, only a few frail and sick citizens fell into a coma inside.

After learning the truth from relatives and friends outside the city, the common people cheered and ran to tell each other in the city.After three full years, everyone has finally waited for the Wudu Eagle who is capable of protecting the airspace.

All of a sudden, the prestige and word-of-mouth of the border area ushered in another surge.Only the world with bald heads and injuries has been achieved.

In Huangshan Villa, the treacherous gentleman and General Pig stood in front of their boss uncomfortably.

"It's too much to deceive! It's too much to deceive!"

"The desperate battle fox has crossed the border, where is the mountain city where the Eighth Route Army ran wild!"

"You military commanders, get moving! Arrest a few people to make an example of them! You can't let them continue to spread propaganda in the city! Otherwise, what will I, the chairman of the committee, do?"

"The Air Defense Command is also on the move! Didn't some Eighth Route Army pilots parachute? You have to find them first, and ask me who gave them the plane!"

　This chapter can be regarded as paving the way for the second battle of Tanzhou, so that the people in the central and southern regions will suffer less.

　　A new book will be opened tomorrow, till 1942, prepare for the Great Famine
