Under a clear sky, Masao Kato piloted a Mitsubishi 97 reconnaissance plane and was soaring over Dabie Mountain.

Not long after Masao Kato graduated from aviation school, not to mention participating in air battles, he didn't even go to the sky a few times.

It stands to reason that a rookie like Masao Kato would not have been able to get a chance to go to heaven so quickly, but a secret order issued by the Japanese army headquarters changed that.

Half a month ago, the Japanese army base camp secretly ordered the air regiment of the Central China Front Army to clearly ask pilots who lack flight experience to perform more missions so that they can grow up as soon as possible!

All in all, the empire needs more pilots with a lot of experience!

Tadaharu Oiga didn't quite know why the base camp gave such an order, but he faithfully carried out the order.

It is precisely because of this that Masao Kato had the opportunity to fly the Mitsubishi 97 reconnaissance plane, which had just been equipped with the troops, and of course, for the sake of insurance, the Corps Headquarters assigned him an experienced co-pilot!

Because it is rare to have such a good opportunity, Masao Kato flew one flight action after another in the air according to the knowledge he learned in aviation school, although it was only a basic action, but Masao Kato still enjoyed it.

Another pilot, Kenichi Takahashi, sat in the back seat, but he was about to fall asleep.

Takahashi Kenichi is a veteran pilot, since the Battle of Shanghai on August 13, he has been on the Chinese battlefield, fighting with the Chinese Air Force, this little devil has participated in six air battles, a total of six fighters or bombers of the Chinese Air Force shot down, can be described as a number of ace pilots in the Japanese Air Corps.

Masao Kato flew another barrel roll, and then said to Kenichi Takahashi through the communication channel: "Takahashi-kun, how did this barrel roll I just flew?" Is it in place? ”

"Nope." Kenichi Takahashi yawned and said, "As a newcomer, you're already flying pretty well." ”

"Really?" Kato Masao didn't know that Takahashi Kenichi was perfunctory, and said excitedly, "But I'm still far behind Takahashi-kun, I still need to work harder!" ”

Kenichi Takahashi just snorted twice, which was a response.

At this time, Kato Masashi suddenly snorted lightly and shouted, "Takahashi-kun, find the Shina Army!" ”

"Well, the Chinese Army?" When Takahashi Ken heard this, he hurriedly opened his sleepy eyes, and then looked under the wheelhouse window, and sure enough, he saw that the Chinese army with black pressure was advancing in the valley!

After slightly distinguishing the direction of movement of the Chinese army, Takahashi Kenichi reported to the headquarters through the communication channel: "Little Bird No. 1 calls the Eagle's Nest, Little Bird No. 1 calls the Eagle's Nest, and the coordinates xxxx and yyyy directions have found the Chinese army, with a strength of about 1,000 people; Bird 1 calls the Eagle's Nest, and Bird 1 calls the Eagle's Nest......"

Kenichi Takahashi called three times in a row before stopping.

However, less than five minutes later, Masao Kato shouted again: "Takahashi-kun, I found the Shina Army again!" There are also one o'clock in the eleven o'clock direction, Amaterasu Okami, and three o'clock in the direction! ”

Takahashi Ken's heart sank when he heard this, the Chinese army seems to have a big operation?

……

In Nanjing, the war room of the headquarters of the Central China Front.

Shunroku Hata hurriedly walked into the war room and asked, "Kawabe-kun, what's the situation?" ”

Just now, Shunroku Habata went back to the lounge to take a nap, but he didn't expect something to happen here.

Kawabe Shozo stepped forward with a few big sorbets such as Fair Kuangwu, Chang Yong, and Muto Zhang.

"Your Excellency, General!" Hebe Zhengzo said solemnly, "I really expected you, the retreat of the Chinese army is an illusion, and its intention is to find an opportunity on the way to encircle and annihilate the 22nd Division and the 27th Division, just now, the retreating Chinese Army suddenly turned around and launched an attack on the 22nd Division and the 27th Division!" ”

"Expected!" Shunroku Hata smiled coldly, then turned his head and asked Tadashi Duty Hoga, "The aviation scouts found out?" ”

"Hello!" He Zhongzhi shook his head heavily, and said, "I sent more than a dozen reconnaissance planes to closely monitor the entire Dabie Mountains, and sure enough, I discovered the abnormal movements of the Chinese army!" ”

"Yo Xi, send more reconnaissance planes to continue to carry out close monitoring!" Shunroku Hata nodded happily.

At this time, Hata Junroku had already walked to the edge of the sand table, only to see that a large number of small blue flags had appeared around Wuyun Village and Liuyan Mountain.

Needless to say, these little blue flags represent the Chinese army!

Hebe Shozo followed and whispered: "The information provided by the comprehensive aviation scouts, the 22nd Division and the 27th Division, there are at least more than 100 regiment-level formations, and they are launching centripetal attacks towards the 22nd Division and the 27th Division from different directions!" ”

Fair Kuangwu then said: "In addition, there is also a group army formed by the Zhi Na Army is interfering between the 22nd Division and the 27th Division, not surprisingly, the Zhi Na Army should want to divide and surround the 22nd Division and the 27th Division in Wuyunzhai and Liuyan Mountain!" ”

"Yaga!" Hearing this, Shunroku Hatata's face changed greatly, and he said in a deep voice, "This group army of the Shina Army must be blocked!" He must not be allowed to separate the 22nd Division from the 27th Division, otherwise the two divisions will be in real danger! In any case, the Zhina army in the Dabie Mountains has nearly 30 armies and 600,000 people! ”

"Hello!" Kawabe Shozo slammed his head and said, "Your Excellency the general, rest assured, I have ordered the 27th Division to send an infantry wing to block it!" The Chinese army will not succeed! ”

"It's not enough to send an infantry wing to block it!" Shunroku Hata shook his head and said, "Immediately order the 22nd Division and the 27th Division to move closer to each other." ”

Speaking of this, Shunroku Hatata's eyes quickly searched on the sand table.

After a while, Shunroku Hata stayed on a certain place on the sand table, and then said, "Long River Bay! Immediately order the 22nd Division and the 27th Division to move closer to the direction of Changhe Bay and join forces! ”

"Hello!" Riverside Zhengsan slammed his head, and then turned back to the fair Kuang Wu and bowed slightly.

Fair Kuangwu nodded slightly, then turned around and hurried into the communications office to deliver the order.

Kawabe Shozo withdrew his gaze from the fair Kuangwu, and said to Shunroku Hata again: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army is really bold, Okamura-kun's eleventh army and Gu Zhuangjun's twelfth army are rushing towards Wuhan from the north and south, and they are still trying to eat our two divisions!" ”

"Soga!" Shunroku Hata said, "It's called self-defeating! ”

"Hello!" Hebian Zhengsan paused and said, "If the Chinese army runs away desperately, no matter how bad it is, it will be able to retain more than ten or two hundred thousand people, but now, what awaits them is probably only the end of the entire army!" ”
