At 6:20 a.m., the sky gradually brightened, and at this time, the C47 fleet was still 150 kilometers away from the target, that is, half an hour away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, the battle actually started at this moment...... The reconnaissance plane, which had been waiting in the air for a long time, flew to the so-called "Army Chemical Research Institute of the Kwantung Army" at dawn to carry out low-altitude reconnaissance, and after taking a series of photographs, it sent the building, terrain, and terrain of the institute to Zhang Chi on the plane in the form of codes.

Zhang Chi immediately forwarded these codes to his fellow villagers and asked them to assign combat tasks, such as which unit was mainly responsible for which building, which unit was mainly responsible for where to build defenses, and so on.

The reason why the word "main" is used here is that parachute troops are not ordinary operations: ordinary operations can generally ensure the integrity and clarity of the formation, but paratrooping troops jump down from the air...... Even if they are in the same row and the same shift on the plane, they are scattered when they reach the ground.

Under normal circumstances, it will take time for the paratrooping troops to return to the army after they are airborne, and simply put, it is to find the officers and officers in the shortest possible time, and then implement the next plan.

But this parachute operation is special...... The troops were directly parachuted to the "Army Chemical Research Institute of the Kwantung Army", which means that as soon as the feet hit the ground, the battle began even before they landed.

This type of parachute operation is uncommon because it is dangerous for parachute troops...... The paratroopers hung in the air on parachute lines had little defense against enemy fire on the ground.

The reason why Zhang Chi wanted to carry out this kind of operation in the "research institute" was ......

On the one hand, because the "institute" is built on the outskirts, and the terrain is open and flat for parachuting.

On the other hand, this is because the task requires the troops to be taken by surprise and thrown into battle as quickly as possible...... If, as usual, parachute down and assemble at a distance from the "Institute", and then launch a surprise attack on the "Institute...... It is very likely that the Japanese army will be given time to prepare, so that the Japanese army can fire "poison gas bombs" one after another into the parachute troops of the expeditionary force.

But if the parachute troops had been parachuted directly into the "research institute" from the very beginning, not only would the Japanese army not have time to prepare, but the poison gas bombs would not have been able to play a role...... If the Japanese army fired poison gas bombs, they would poison themselves to death, which made them throw rats.

What's more, Zhang Chi also arranged covering troops on the ground...... That is, a team organized by scouts who had infiltrated the puppet Manchukuo in advance.

The same applies to the so-called "water purification plant" in Harbin.

However, Zhang Chi thought that this was not enough, and after a moment of silence, he contacted the pilot of the reconnaissance plane through the walkie-talkie......

"Tom!" Zhang Chi shouted.

The mission was carried out by a U.S. military pilot.

"Yes, sir!" Tom replied.

"I need to know where the Japanese warehouse is!" "You know, they have an underground warehouse, and this warehouse is very strong, and it may be very large, and it may be some distance from the residential area...... They use this warehouse to store gas bombs, so they will stay away from residential areas! This is important for our mission! ”

"Uh...... Apologies, sir! Tom replied, "We didn't find this warehouse, you know, it's an underground warehouse, and we're in the sky...... It's almost impossible for us to find it! ”

"Nope! You can! Zhang Chi replied: "I believe it...... There will inevitably be people or cars walking between the warehouse and the living quarters, so all you have to do is look for footprints or wheel prints in the snow, and the location of the warehouse should be at the end of those tracks! ”

"Great idea!" As he spoke, Tom flew back over the "Institute" in the reconnaissance plane, and after a while Tom replied excitedly, "Wow...... Sir, we've found its location, and you're amazing, it's like you can see it! ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, it was much easier to know the location of the warehouse, otherwise there would be too many variables in it.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that the return of the reconnaissance plane had alarmed a person in the "research institute," and he was Professor Yoshida, who was on a research mission at the "research institute."

Professor Yoshida didn't sleep all night, and his mind kept echoing the news that he had learned from Ohara Shozana last night that the Chinese army had reached Xinjing.

"What? The Chinese army has already reached Xinjing?! ”

"yes!" Ohara Shaosa looked around and said, "Please don't say it, professor, it may affect the work of the institute and cause unnecessary trouble!" ”

Professor Yoshida, of course, understood this, so he nodded, and after a while he asked, "But...... There won't be any problems! ”

"No problem!" Ohara Shaozo laughed: "They have been blocked by us in Xinjing!" Speaking of which...... His Excellency Lieutenant General Sazo is really powerful, the enemy has no way to deal with him! ”

"Ohara-kun!" Professor Yoshida looked around and said, "The enemy has already reached Shinkyo, why didn't I see the 'Research Institute' increase its troops!" You know that the 'institute' is important......"

"The professor is too worried!" Ohara Shaozo replied: "Xinjing is still far from here!" Let alone...... The enemy doesn't know this place either! ”

Saying that, Ohara Shaozo puffed up his chest, then bowed slightly, and said, "Please rest assured, it is our responsibility to protect the 'research institute', and the professor will concentrate on research!" Please! ”

"There's Lao Xiaoyuan-kun!" Professor Yoshida replied.

Although he had Ohara Shaosa's assurance, and at the same time knew that the "research institute" was very secret and far away from Shinkyo, Professor Yoshida could not rest assured, so he tossed and turned in bed all night.

As dawn approached, Yoshida faintly heard the sound of an airplane engine in the air, and Yoshida didn't pay much attention to it at first...... During this time, enemy bombers were bombing nearby railways and roads, and it was not uncommon to hear the sound of aircraft.

But after a while, Professor Yoshida felt something unusual...... The plane seemed to circle nearby, and then flew over the "Institute" at dawn.

Could it be that the "institute" was exposed?

The thought made Professor Yoshida break out in a cold sweat, and he jumped up from the bed and looked out the window.

At this time, the plane flew away...... Professor Yoshida thought to himself that maybe this was just a coincidence! Or maybe it's because I'm too careful.

However, after some time, the plane again turned back and circled over the "Institute...... As a result, Professor Yoshida was convinced that the "research institute" had been exposed, and that it was very likely that even the enemy was attacking the idea of the "research institute".
