Chapter 1155: Exploiting Loopholes (First Update!) )
Weng hummed...... "The roar of the plane sounded over the battlefield as promised.
The sound was faint at first, then it grew louder, and after a few seconds, the plane's silvery-white fuselage appeared at the edge of the sky.
Second Lieutenant Fujino was the pilot of this reinforcement mission, and from the moment he entered the target airspace, he kept his eyes on the ground and searched for the battlefield he wanted to reinforce.
After making a big circle, he did not find the battlefield where his superiors asked him for reinforcements, except for a unit of the imperial army marching along the road.
Second Lieutenant Fujino decided to lower the flight altitude and close the ground to search again.
In order to prevent something from being missed, special aircraft flew over the heads of the ground troops, hoping to get some information from them.
It was an imperial army unit that escorted a large number of Jin Sui prisoners.
The escort troops held high the plaster flag, the uniform of the imperial army, and the neat marching pace were clearly visible.
Hundreds of captives marched with their heads bowed, some carrying weapons and ammunition captured by the Imperial Army on the battlefield, others carrying stretchers, like defeated roosters, advancing amid the shouts and curses of the Imperial Army.
It was exactly the same as the other Imperial Army units he had encountered along the way.
So they must have been the Imperial Army's pursuit force that had returned victoriously last night, and Second Lieutenant Fujino had no doubt about that.
Just as he was about to continue his search for the battlefield he was going to reinforce, the escort troops suddenly placed a contact sign on the ground.
Second Lieutenant Fujino piloted the plane twice to pass over the heads of the ground troops before he could see clearly.
"The battle is over!?" Second Lieutenant Fujino was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.
This is the message he got from the ground contact marking.
Although he wondered why the battle ended so quickly, he couldn't rush to the ground to ask what was going on, so he could only choose to believe it.
After circling the battlefield again, confirming that the battle was really over and that the winner was the Imperial Army, Second Lieutenant Fujino comforted himself.
"It must be that the plane is not equipped with a contact radio, and the airport has no way to contact itself after receiving the news of the victory of the ground troops, and then let itself run for nothing."
With this thought, Fujino could only return to the airport with regret and disappointment.
On the highway, everyone's nerves were tense.
Seeing that the devil plane no longer swept over everyone's heads, and flew farther and farther, slowly disappearing from everyone's field of vision, I finally took a long breath, and my tense nerves relaxed.
"Deputy battalion commander, the devil military uniform on our body is useful, and the little devil pilot has been fooled." The fourth company commander wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reported nervously and excitedly.
The deputy battalion commander also breathed a sigh of relief: "In addition to the skin on our bodies, what really works is the contact logo posed by the puppet army." ”
"If there is no contact signal, the devil pilot will definitely not trust us easily."
"But don't rejoice too soon."
"The devil's plane is not equipped with a radio station, so there is no way to get in touch with us directly, which is why we have taken advantage of the loophole."
"Wait for the plane to get back to the airport. The Japanese division headquarters will definitely send us a telegram to confirm whether the troops have really won. ”
"We don't have the contact code of the devils, we don't know the method and frequency of their telegrams, and they will definitely be exposed when the time comes, so the troops can't be careless yet, they must retreat as soon as possible, and then disappear from the battlefield."
At the headquarters of the Japanese division in Datong, the communications staff officer hurriedly walked in with a telegram.
"Sir, the aviation is in a hurry!"
"By the time the planes they sent arrived at the battlefield, the Imperial ground forces had already won the battle, and the fighters had returned in vain...... They questioned why we had not informed them of the victory of the ground forces, causing them to strike once in vain and wasting a lot of precious fuel. ”
"Nani?" A trace of incomprehension quickly flashed on the face of the division commander.
If memory serves, in the past hour, the division and regimental command did not receive good news of victory at the front.
The deputy chief of staff next to him also found out about this problem and hurriedly replied: "Sir, it must be that the front-line troops have forgotten, and let people contact them now to find out what is going on!" ”
The chief of staff returned to the war room a few minutes later, his face was unprecedentedly serious: "Sir, the radio station can't contact them, and it is humbly judged that the radio station they equipped was destroyed in the battle, and then they did not report the results to the command. ”
The division commander still had doubts in his heart, but in the end he chose to believe it.
He had confidence in his troops.
The telegram asking for help made it very clear that they had encountered a fish that had slipped through the net of the Jin Sui army.
The pursuing troops fought last night, and even if there were fish that slipped through the net on the battlefield, their strength would not be too strong, otherwise they would not be able to escape the eyes of the reconnaissance troops outside the city.
Therefore, even if the retreating troops encounter some difficulties in the battle, there will definitely be no problems in terms of security.
It's hard to figure out that they find the opponent's vulnerabilities in the battle, and then launch a fatal blow to take out the opponent.
"Boom ......"
The last round of shells smashed into the garrison's assembly area, billowing black smoke into the sky, countless dirt, logs, and torn tents were thrown into the sky in the flying firelight, and then the heavenly maidens flew everywhere like scattered flowers.
The thick smoke of gunpowder had already shrouded the battlefield tightly, and the chiefs of staff of the Japanese divisions and regiments standing at the front foot could not see anything.
But he believed that after 20 minutes of artillery fire, the village would not be able to see a single intact wall, if not to the ground.
As for the fortifications that the garrison wanted to use for street fighting, they must have been completely destroyed and could not be used any longer.
With this thought, the chief of staff directly ordered with a proud face: "The troops rush forward and destroy the remaining Eighth Route Army inside!" ”
The attack was very smooth, fast and even a little intimidating.
In less than ten minutes, a lieutenant of the attacking force rushed over from the battlefield: "Sir, the troops have occupied the garrison regiment assembly area, but we have not found a single Eighth Route Army inside, not even a single corpse. ”
"What?"
The chief of staff's eyes instantly widened, revealing a shocked expression of disbelief.
Then he looked at the commander of the reconnaissance unit on the side.
If the eyes could kill, this commander would have died several times.
Forcing himself to calm down, he asked in a deep voice: "This is what you call the main force of the garrison regiment?" Didn't you just swear that the garrison had not left and was in the village? Why isn't there a single person in it, they're human? ”
The commander of the reconnaissance force was more nervous than anyone else.
Since I found this assembly place, I have been staring at it, but the accident happened right under my nose.
In the face of the chief of staff's questioning, cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead like rain.
My mind was racing, remembering everything I had seen and heard here last night, trying to find some clues in the middle and get to the bottom of it.
