Glorious Mission 1937

Today is undoubtedly a memorable day for the Japanese army. Hundreds of fighter planes were shot down and damaged in China in World War I. It would be more perfect if there was no fiasco in the first air battle.Despite this, General Bin Shanyuan still hosted a banquet for today's great hero Honda Takejiro and others at the headquarters of the Front Army.

Beiping. In the banquet hall of the North China Front Command of the Japanese Army, a grand celebration banquet was going on at this time. In order to highlight the importance attached to these air combat heroes, the banquet was of extremely high standards. The army must be the rank of major general or above.As for government officials, the level is even higher. Except for a few senior officials designated by the headquarters, no one else is eligible to participate.

Standing on the stage, General Bin Shanyuan is in a very good mood now. Originally, he didn’t know much about the new fighter jets, let alone trust him. Unexpectedly, the first battle of the new fighter jets in North China gave him a surprise. All the dozens of Chinese planes that came here were killed, and at the same time, the dozens of Chinese fighter planes that came for reinforcements were also killed one by one. It has not been so fun for a long time.

"Everyone, I'm very glad to be here with you today to celebrate the achievements of the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army. Now I'd like to announce a piece of good news for you all. In the air battle just three hours ago, our Great Japanese Empire Yamato Condor Squad We won more with less, and defeated the main force of China's Zhangjiakou front-line air force in one fell swoop with the weak strength of more than 159 fighters, shot down 142 fighters and damaged [-], and achieved brilliant results!"

As soon as Bin Shanyuan finished speaking, there was warm applause in the banquet hall.

Bin Shanyuan stretched out his hand and made a vain gesture.Then he said: "I will read out Order No. 241 of the North China Front Army Command: The Yamato Condor Squadron will be placed under the command of the North China Front Army from now on, and will be expanded to a brigade-level organization. In view of the outstanding performance of the Yamato Condor Squadron in today's operations It shows that the front army decided to promote Takejiro Honda as the commander of the Imperial Army (Japan does not have a separate air force), and at the same time he was promoted to the commander of the Yamato Condor Squadron. At the same time, he promoted Aso Jiro and Onozuka Yoshiro... to the Imperial Army and promoted Yamaguchi Bear Takeshi, Takeda Taro... are Major Commanders of the Imperial Army!"

"clap clap"

After reading the order, General Bin Shanyuan said: "Masters, the Yamato nation is one of the most outstanding nations in the world. Only the Germanic nation of Germany can stand with us in the forest of nations in the world. The Great Japanese Empire can handle the world's affairs smoothly. Knowledge and ability are the best in the world, since the Black Ship Incident. Although our Great Japanese Empire accepts foreign culture and civilization, it does not lose the common sense and coping ability with Japanese characteristics. It also faces the invasion and threat of Western colonists However, our Great Japanese Empire was able to face up to difficulties and achieve the dream of being the most powerful country in East Asia in a hundred years. This is the inherent courage, firmness and loyalty of the Japanese nation. Deal with it. But in the face of absolute strength, any resistance is meaningless and meaningless, just like today's air battle. Which admirable General Chen has accumulated hundreds of fighters in one battle? The whole army was wiped out. Therefore, I advise all Chinese resisters, including Mr. Jiang who is located in the southwest, to give up resistance and build a co-prosperous country in East Asia, and to resist the oppression of Western powers is the wisest choice!"

That night, the Japanese army in North China went completely crazy. When the North China Front Army Command urgently notified the frontline troops of the battle report of the air battle this afternoon, the 10,000+ Japanese and puppet troops on the frontline swept away the previous decline and their morale was greatly boosted.

The next day, many newspapers under the control of the Japanese army reported yesterday's big air battle in the form of front page headlines.

On the streets of Beiping, a boy selling newspapers opened his voice and shouted: "Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the front line of the eighth war zone suffered a disastrous defeat, hundreds of fighters broke their wings and competed for the city!"

"Extraordinary! Commander Bin Shanyuan urges the Chinese government to surrender!"

"Extraordinary and extraordinarily! In the great air battle, the eighth war zone lost everything!"

"Extraordinary, extraordinarily! The operation of the eighth war zone has been destroyed for several years, and thousands of fighter planes have been shot down!!!"

Guisui. Eighth Theater Command.

"Slap" After reading the Japanese army newspaper sent back from the secret channel by the intelligence department, Chen Feng slapped the desk with resentment.

"Commander, you don't have to worry about it. The old man Bin Shanyuan is too arrogant. He dared to urge us to surrender after only winning a battle. How arrogant!" Hua Rong said disdainfully.

"Why don't I understand this? In the characteristics of the Japanese nation, there is originally a spiritual trait they call "Yamato Soul". This spiritual trait is originally cruel and arrogant. As we all know, in this world There are tens of thousands of ethnic groups, but each ethnic group is not the same or homogeneous in terms of national quality due to their own evolutionary level and geographical environment. Some characteristics, which are most obvious among the inland peoples and island peoples."

Speaking of this, Chen Feng slowed down, and then said: "Japan is an island country located on the sea in the east of the Asian continent. It is one of the arc-shaped islands on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. The small plain is connected to the bay. This mountainous and narrow terrain has had a great influence on Japanese culture and history. The closed and exclusive spirit that is known as the root of the island country is produced from the geographical environment surrounded by the sea. It is also more serious due to the isolation of the internal terrain of the island country. The Japanese people who have lived in the island country for a long time, due to the geographical environment that is easily isolated from the surroundings, the progress of civilization is relatively slow, and the primitive tribes have strong beliefs in many gods and personal gods here. Being preserved for a long time, the changes, development and continuous extension of this original Shinto belief have formed a unique national character called Yamato Soul. Under the influence of this character, the Japanese not only lack interest in reason, speculation, reasoning, etc. and ability, and their emotions are less subject to rational norms, penetration and blending, or their degree of rationalization and rationalization is relatively low.”

"In our view, the Japanese are all contradictory bodies. They retain more of the original state of natural desire and instinctive impulse. The law of Japanese cognition is that sensibility is greater than rationality, concreteness is greater than abstraction, tradition is greater than truth, and myths and legends are greater than truth." Right and wrong, good and evil. On the one hand, they adhere to tradition, are stubborn and conservative, and believe in fate; on the other hand, they emphasize utilitarianism, adapt to reality, and are curious and enterprising. Self-restraint and suppression show respect for external rational constraints, that is, heteronomous coercion; on the other hand, they are brutal, brutal, cruel, aggressive and bloodthirsty, extreme self-indulgence and venting, showing respect for their own sexual impulses and desires. Internal irrational persistence. Bin Shanyuan is the representative of it!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Hua Rong was shocked. He didn't expect this young commander to have such a deep understanding of the Japanese national character, as if he had studied it specially.

"Commander, Bin Shanyuan's arrogant clamor has caused a great negative impact. The Japanese and puppet forces in major cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Nanchang responded one after another. Some Kuomintang troops defected to the enemy and treasoned the country, and became traitors with Wang Jingwei."

"Hmph, the mouse in the hole is short-sighted, and the frog in the well sits and watches the sky. Don't pay attention to them. The little devil slapped you in the face yesterday, so we have to pay it back. Even if the left cheek is still swollen, we have to cover it with our left hand and return it with the right hand." !" Chen Feng said coldly.

Zhangjiakou Airport. Air Force Combat Command Room!

"Report! The command of the theater command: order the combat aircraft group that can take off to take off immediately, and cover the bomber group to carry out carpet bombing on the front line of the Japanese army in Xiahuayuan!"

After listening to the order, there was a silence in the combat command room, and all the officers turned their eyes to Xue Chenghu, their expressions were full of shock and disbelief.They have seen the new Japanese fighters before, and the bloody facts show that their Yi-15 and 16 fighters are not at the same level as their opponents, and no matter how many fighters they send, they will die.

There are only a few things about new fighters in the theater, and Xue Chenghu is the only one who knows among the officers present, and he knows what these officers mean.Such an order to send someone to death is obviously not like the handwriting of the commander, and most of the officers doubt the authenticity of this order.

Xue Chenghu looked at the order carefully, then analyzed it on the map for a while, and finally picked up the phone and called the group army headquarters.

Xu Hu was very shocked by the fact that Chen Feng bypassed the 52nd Army headquarters and directly gave combat orders to the troops below. He knew that Generalissimo Jiang in Chongqing liked to do this, and the matter of leapfrog command had not happened in the Eighth War Zone so far. However, Xu Hu knew the radio security level in the war zone, and the aviation code would never be deciphered by the Japanese army, so the authenticity of this telegram cannot be doubted.

After talking on the phone with Xu Hu, Xue Chenghu considered for a few minutes, and finally decided to execute the order immediately, and he had to lead the team himself.

With Xue Chenghu as an example, the officers present no longer objected. For a while, the sirens at Zhangjiakou Airport rang loudly, and the pilots quickly boarded the plane one by one, and then took off.

Beiping. North China Front Army Command.

"Nani, the Chinese dispatched a combat fleet again today, and more than 200 fighters?" General Bin Shanyuan asked in shock.

"Hay! It's true. Just now the Chief of Staff Okabe personally sent a telegram saying that 10 minutes ago, more than 200 fighter planes of the Chinese Air Force bombed the Gujiaying position for more than 20 minutes. At the same time, the Chinese infantry launched a charge. The front line of the Imperial Army has been torn open a few big holes, and now the 114th Division is plugging the gaps, but the effect is very bad!" The adjutant staff replied.

"Baga, order Takejiro Honda's headquarters to set off immediately, and at the same time order Major General Toshiki Kinoshita to let all the bombers in his flight team take off immediately, and carry out retaliatory bombing under the cover of Honda's headquarters!"

"Hay!"
