7.133 The Japanese Air Force fell into the trap

The Type 93 heavy bombers of the 9th Brigade and the 96th Marine of the Kato Brigade did not leave after completing the formation in the assembled airspace, and they were still hovering in the air. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info to complete the task of airdropping supplies, they still need a few helpers.

Twenty minutes later, the mixed formation was joined by four reconnaissance planes responsible for dropping flares.

This group of 16 Type 93 heavy bombers, 24 96 land battles, and 4 reconnaissance planes is a very powerful air force! It's a pity that these Japanese pilots were not on an attack mission tonight.

With the 96th Marine War on guard and the reconnaissance plane in front of the guide, Captain Endo's pilot mission came to an end. After a huge formation of planes had been in the air for some time at night, the reconnaissance group at the front sent light signals to the fighters and bombers behind.

The rapidly flickering heading lights announced that the flight formation was about to arrive at the airdrop predetermined area.

"Front machine gun turret, pay attention to the ground signal! Our current location should be not far north of Zaozhuang! ”

Captain Endo shouted to the machine gun shooter sitting in the machine gun tower at the front of the nose, and from there he observed the ground situation most intuitively and accurately.

"Understood!"

The machine gunner answered cleanly, and Lieutenant Hayase also ran inside the fuselage from the co-pilot's position, ordering the bombardier to open the compartment door and observe the situation on the ground.

On the position of the 10th Division in Zaozhuang, the anxious commander of Ryosuke Isoya kept raising his binoculars to observe the night sky, while Chief of Staff Tsutsumi Butsuki Osaku stood next to Ryosuke Isoya, and all the senior officers of the 10th Division around the two of them.

"Yaga! Why hasn't our plane appeared yet? Is this how Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi's subordinates served the Army? I see that the guys in HNA are more punctual than them! The embankment is not clamped! Look! It's past the scheduled time......"

Tsutsumi Bu Gui Daisa did not reply, he knew very well why Isoya Ryosuke was so excited, and his division commander complained so much because he was worried that the army aviation would not be able to complete the airdrop operation.

But what's the use?

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Reporting Division! The forward anti-air observation post said that they had spotted the fleet of the Army Airlines! Just flew over their heads! I think it's time to send a signal! ”

At this time, the commander of the 8th Brigade, Major General Se Takehei, suddenly emerged from the trench next to him, and he brought good news to Ryosuke Isoya.

"Mixi! Hurry! Order the soldiers to light the fire! Signal the plane! Commander of the Sebu Brigade! Once the people of China find out about our airdrop plan, they will definitely launch a fierce attack on the area where we will receive airdrop supplies! The survival of the division depends on your 8th brigade! ”

The task of receiving supplies and protecting the airdrop operation was given by Ryosuke Isoya to the commander of the 8th Brigade, Major General Setakehei. At present, three of the four main infantry wings of the Isoya Division have lost more than half, and the only remaining infantry wing that is still fully formed is the 8th Infantry Wing under the 39th Brigade.

The Chinese army will definitely not let the 10th Division receive this batch of supplies smoothly, and a fierce battle is inevitable! Among the combat units of the Isoya Division, only the 39th Wing can barely fight the Chinese army!

The lifesaver of the 10th Division is now protected by the 39th Wing!

"Don't worry! Your Excellency, Division Commander! Numata Takazo Osa is a cautious man, and the 39th Wing is ready! ”

Major General Setakehei's words calmed Ryosuke Isoya's mood a little, and he could only trust his men now. After getting this batch of airdropped supplies and reinforcements, maybe the 10th Division will be able to hold out until the arrival of the army division of the North China Front!

"Ignition! Hurry up and ignite the fire! ”

The Japanese sappers who were guarding in front of the firewood and straw pile received the order of the superior officer, and immediately pulled open the tarpaulin covering the firewood and straw pile, and then began to pour gasoline and fire oil on it!

The commander of the engineer wing, Suma Gakuno, personally commanded at the scene, and it was Suma Gakuno Osaku who suggested not pouring fuel on the firewood and grass piles in advance, lest the Chinese troops surrounded by the 10th Division smell the smell and feel abnormal.

The pile of firewood and grass wet with gasoline and fire oil was set apiece, and in less than a minute, the fire was soaring! Suma Gakunoshi Osa led the sappers to retreat to the rear trenches, while the 39th Wing Numata Takazo Osa ordered his soldiers to be on guard and ready to meet the attack of the Chinese army!

*************************************************

Looking at the dark earth from above is a different story. Strong air currents passed under the belly of the plane, and Lieutenant Hayase would not have been able to open his eyes if it weren't for the goggles.

You can imagine how difficult it is to search for things on the ground with your eyes like this! signal, the Army Aviation and the 10th Division agreed on a very eye-catching signal!

The reconnaissance plane in front of it began to turn left, which was the signal to start circling, and the instruments on the plane told the Japanese pilots that if they did not turn back, they would soon appear in the sky over Xuzhou City!

Damn the Army, why hasn't it signaled yet?

Suddenly, a little light flashed from the pitch-black ground, and then it grew bigger and bigger! Immediately after that, the second and third points also lit up! These jumping flames seemed to shout to Lieutenant Wasase, here we are! We're here!

Finally found you! Idiots of the 10th Division!

"Captain Endo! Ground fires have been spotted! Three piles! It's three fires! It should have been a signal from the 10th Division! The airdrop area is here! ”

Lieutenant Hayase's shouts were full of excitement, and he felt very proud to be the first person among the six crew members to discover the ground signal!

"Mixi! Bub! I'm starting to like you a little bit now! But to be on the safe side, you'd better double-check! ”

Captain Endo kept his composure, but to Lieutenant Sayse, what Captain Endo said just now was already a compliment!

Lieutenant Hayase leaned down again to confirm his discovery, but he saw something he couldn't imagine!

I don't know when it started, several more points of light appeared on the ground, and after Lieutenant Hayase looked at it for a while, he found that the other points of light were actually some fires! And it's all three, too! There are actually many "airdrop areas" on the ground!

"Yaga! Yaga! ”

The angry Lieutenant Wasase stomped his feet vigorously, if he didn't know what was going on by now, then he was an idiot!

There is only one real "airdrop zone"! The rest of the "airdrop areas" must be a suspicious array posed by the Chinese army!

It is obviously impossible for the flight formation to confirm the location of the "airdrop zone" by relying on ground signals!

What to do!?

"Wase! What are you doing! I need your reply! Have you confirmed the airdrop location? ”

Captain Endo in the cab didn't wait for Lieutenant Wasase's confirmation message, so he let out a roar!

Lieutenant Hayase couldn't help but think that it would be nice if he reported his findings to Captain Endo a few seconds at night, so that he wouldn't be so embarrassed as he is now!

In such a panic that Lieutenant Hayase didn't even notice that Captain Endo didn't call him "little guy" for the first time.

"Captain Endo! There were multiple false signals on the ground, and I couldn't tell them anymore! ”

Lieutenant Hayase stumbled back to the cab and told Captain Endo the bad news with a sad face.

"It's not an easy task......

Captain Endo's reaction was very strange, neither wanting to be angry nor feeling happy. To be exact, Captain Endo seems to have suddenly become excited!

"What do we do now? If you can't find an airdrop area, you can't implement an airdrop! Are we going to return to Jinan in disgrace? ”

Lieutenant Sayse's question made Captain Endo feel bored, and Captain Endo pointed to the reconnaissance plane in front of him, and then spoke:

"Have you forgotten? The reconnaissance plane is fully loaded with flares! Can the Chinese still all change into the clothes of the imperial army? ”

Captain Endo's guidance made Lieutenant Hayase suddenly! Captain Endo is right! As long as the reconnaissance plane drops flares and then takes turns to dive for reconnaissance, it is not too difficult to see the flaw! I believe that the Army, when realizing all this, will definitely react and prove their identity to the Army Aviation planes in the air!

Sure enough, as Captain Endo expected, after the group circled twice over these "suspected airdrop areas," the four reconnaissance planes took the initiative to break away from the group and went to identify ground targets.

When the Japanese Army Aviation formation in the air was in trouble, the commander of the 10th Division on the ground, Ryosuke Isotani, was already completely berserk! He waved his fist and roared incessantly into the night sky:

"What's going on! What the hell is going on! The embankment is not a noble Dazuo! Could it be that my eyes are looking at it wrong? Our plane actually flew over my head twice! Twice! Is it because the fire we lit is not big enough? Do those idiots want me to set the whole hill on fire before they will drop the supplies! Bastard! These bastards! I'm going to accuse them to General Shouichi Terauchi! ”

After tossing and turning for a while, Ryosuke Isoya got the reason for the anomaly in army aviation from Major General Setakehei, the commander of the 8th Brigade, and several burning fires suddenly appeared on the position of the 25th Army north of the 10th Division! It's the same as the signal agreed between the 10th Division and the Army Airlines!

That is to say, in the eyes of the Japanese Army pilots, there are several identical "airdrop areas" in the area north of Zaozhuang, and they don't know which "airdrop area" to drop the materials on the plane in!

"Yaga! Cunning Shina people! He was able to come up with such a way to disturb the sight of Lu Hang! Fire! Fire now! Extinguish all the fires on the positions of the Chinese army! In the eyes of the army aviation, there can only be our 10th Division in the airdrop area! ”

"Hay!"

Ryosuke Isoya ordered the surviving artillery units of the 10th Division to immediately open fire on the positions of the 99th and 100th Armies, trying to extinguish the burning false signals with artillery fire. When the first Japanese shell fell, the Chinese artillery, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately counterattacked!

***************************************************

The 25th Army and the 10th Division engaged in a fierce artillery battle!

Shells of various calibers kept streaking through the night sky, then falling and blooming, and the light and heavy machine guns on both sides also opened fire! Shen Laoer and Wang Shankui, who had long studied the tactics of dealing with the 10th Division, did not stop doing anything, each sent a regiment to storm the forward positions of the Isogu Division, and covered the airdrop area prepared by the Japanese army with artillery fire.

At this moment, the signals sent from both sides disappeared, and the Japanese pilots in the air could only see a huge battlefield, with bullets everywhere!

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Japanese reconnaissance planes dropped flares, and they couldn't wait to figure out the front of the 10th Division and the Chinese army. It is not possible to drop supplies in the pre-prepared area, and it is the same to throw them on the positions of the 10th Division!

The flares emitted a dazzling blue-white light, illuminating the dark earth. After Wang Shankui discovered that the Japanese reconnaissance plane was roaring towards the position of the 139th Division, he immediately ordered Li Yuhe, the commander of the 139th Division, to carry out a confusing operation!

With Li Yuhe's order, all the officers and soldiers of the 139th Division on the ground went into the depths of the trenches and never showed up again. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the 139th Division wearing Japanese military uniforms rushed to the center of the open space with a roll of things, and then spread it on the ground and opened it!

As the roll was fully opened, the Japanese pilots in the air saw the contents!

It's a giant plaster flag! The length and width are more than 20 meters! In order to make up this plaster flag, many officers and soldiers of the 139th Division donated their white sheets!

The Japanese reconnaissance plane that swooped down bounced as if it had been electrocuted, and Wang Shankui seemed to see the Japanese pilot pulling the joystick in the cockpit!

The little devils of dog day should believe it! Why don't you hurry up and throw the good things down for Lao Tzu!

After completing the rapid lifting action, the Japanese reconnaissance planes circled the air twice and sent a signal to the bomber formation, and then the huge bomber group flew to the position of the 139th Division and began to "lay eggs"

After Wang Shankui in the headquarters of the 139th Division saw this scene, he couldn't even close his mouth with a smile, he waved his fist in the direction of the 99th Army's position, and said excitedly:

"Shen Er, Shen Er! I don't even have soup for you this time! Let's see what other tricks you have!! ”

****************************************************

Seeing the Japanese planes running to the position of the 139th Division to "lay eggs", Shen Laoer's heart felt like he had been stabbed with a knife! He really didn't understand how the little devil just regarded Wang Shankui's troops as the 10th Division!

The establishment of the 99th Army is nearly twice as large as that of the 139th Division, and the 189th Division is on the side to help, occupying more than twice the area of the 139th Division! It stands to reason that the probability of getting the Japanese army's airdropped supplies should also be twice as high as that of the 139th Division!

Under such an absolute "advantage", he still lost to Wang Shankui, and Shen Lao Er was unwilling!

Shen Yunlong scolded and walked to the phone, and then called the 139th Division.

After all, the 139th Division is from the 99th Division, and those officers from the 99th Division dare not not give face to Shen Yuanlong, the "old commander".

"What? You repeat! Wang Shankui actually made a big plaster flag? Grandma's! I said why was he so proud when he ran to Lao Tzu's position today! It turned out that I had prepared this hand early! Fortunately, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian either! Qian Guoliang! You don't even do it! By the time the little devils put all the good things on the territory of the 139th Division, it will be too late! ”

As long as the 25th Group Army fights a battle with benefits, Shen Yuanlong can always lead his troops to perform extraordinarily! This time, in order to snatch the devil's airdrop materials from Wang Shankui, Shen Yunlong put a lot of effort into it!

After Qian Guoliang, the commander of the 99th Division, received Shen Laoer's order, he immediately notified Shi Jincai to start the action. Prior to this, the anti-aircraft artillery unit of the artillery regiment was arranged by Qian Guoliang at the junction of the 99th Army and the 100th Army early on, and waited for a long time.

Under Shi Jincai's order, all the anti-aircraft guns of the artillery regiment fired at the sky, and with the assistance of the anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by the 99th Division, the night sky suddenly rolled up.

This batch of sudden anti-aircraft fire threw the 139th Brigade that was airdropping supplies over the position of the 9th Division into chaos.

The Japanese pilots operated the cumbersome Type 93 heavy bombers to climb up desperately, and the ground anti-aircraft fire was left to the 96 land battle to solve!

After the 9th Brigade left the range of ground anti-aircraft fire, the 96th Marine of Kato's Brigade immediately turned around and roared towards the anti-aircraft artillery positions set up on the positions of the 99th Division.

Captain Kyogo Kato rushed to the front of the queue as usual, and he wanted to use this opportunity to prove his bravery!

The engine power of the 96 Land Battle was exerted to the extreme by Captain Kyogo Kato, and the 96 Land Battle that was diving at high speed let out a sharp whistle!

The opponent is an air defense position with anti-aircraft guns, and the loss of some fighters will be inevitable! Captain Kyogo Kato had already calculated in his mind what he could afford to pay.

The imaginable rain of bullets did not come head-on, and Captain Kyogo Kato immediately saw an incredible scene, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground did not gather fire on Kato's body after driving out the heavy bombers of the 9th Group, and they still maintained the direction of shooting, and kept firing at the airdrop materials floating in the air!

What's going on?

Captain Kyogo Kato subconsciously let go of the finger that was holding down the machine-gun firing button.

Well? Sun Flag! Pick the sun flag on the bayonet! A large number of sun flags are waving at him! Why are there so many sun flags on the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery positions?

Are you confusing me?

In a trance, Captain Kyogo Kato's 96 Marine Battle rushed through the sky above this anti-aircraft artillery position, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of Captain Kyogo Kato, who came to his senses!

If these anti-aircraft guns had just fired at Captain Kyogo Kato, Captain Kyogo Kato would have died!

But why didn't they fire?

Seeing that their captain did not fire, the pilots of the Kato Group, who then dived down, also stopped their attack and swept over the anti-aircraft gun position and pulled up the nose.

From beginning to end, the air defense positions on the ground did not fire a single bullet at the Kato brigade! Captain Kyogo Kato, who was piloting the 96 Land Battle, fell into doubt! Those waving sun flags lingered in the mind of Captain Kyogo Kato!

That's right! It's the Sun Flag! Herein lies the problem! The 10th Division is already in a desperate situation, where did they get such a big sun flag? And the attack on the 9th Brigade just now, not a single plane was hit! Is it a coincidence? Now it seems that this is not the case! That's the 10th Division preventing the Army from making a mistake! From the very beginning, those bullets and shells did not go to the landing planes!

The reconnaissance plane was deceived by the cunning Chinese! Then the 10th Division was forced to stand up!

As if to prove Captain Kyogo's inference, the air defense position on the ground was quickly attacked, and a large number of guys in the uniforms of the Chinese army rushed up from all directions! Judging from the direction, these Chinese troops really came from the area where the 9th Brigade had just carried out the airdrop!

"Eight Tooth Road! We were fooled! It was the 10th Division that fired at us! ”

Captain Kyogo Kato returned to the sky to report his discovery to the commander of the 9th Brigade, Hagiwara Nakasa, the reconnaissance plane was sent out again, and the "scuffle" on the ground proved Captain Kyogo Kato's inference, and at the same time, three piles of flames were again ignited in the rear hinterland of the air defense position!

"Turn! Airdrop our troops! Tomorrow during the day, we will teach the cunning Shina people a lesson! ”

This time, the 9th Brigade did not hesitate at all, they flew above the position of the 99th Army at an ultra-low altitude, and then began to airdrop supplies frantically!

Shen Lao Er hugged his stomach and laughed straight down in the 99th Division headquarters!

The "Chinese army" attacking the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the artillery regiment was Zhang Jing's 189th Division, and the 99th Army and the artillery regiment staged this monkey show and completely deceived the Japanese planes.

Now, the little devil has completely let down his guard!

Shi Jincai's anti-aircraft artillery unit is moving to the area where the Japanese army airdropped supplies, and the anti-aircraft machine guns of the 99th Army are also concentrating in that area!

When the little Japanese planes ran out of supplies, the 99th Army would attack! Shen Lao Er didn't want these Japanese planes to return to Jinan to load bombs and appear above the head of the 25th Army again!

Since you're here, stay for it!

***************************************************

Wang Shankui's phone call soon reached the headquarters of the 99th Division, and he loudly complained about what Shen Lao Er did on the phone, in Wang Shankui's opinion, Shen Lao Er did all this too unjustly! The distribution of supplies is an internal matter of the 25th Army, and it really shouldn't have been in order to lure Japanese planes and monopolize supplies, and blow up the supplies airdropped by the devils to the 139th Division!

"Didn't you say that whoever it falls on will be who's own? Shen Lao Er! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll go to the commander and denounce you!" ”

Wang Shankui's closing remarks are very high-pitched! In order to prevent his own eardrums from being harmed, Shen Lao Er held the telephone receiver far away and let Wang Shankui roar on the other end of the phone.

"Enough fire, right? Lao Wang! In your heart, am I, Shen Yuanlong, such a short-sighted person? ”

Shen Laoer's question stumped Wang Shankui, in fact, Wang Shankui wanted to say that Shen Laoer was this kind of person! But he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and be caught by Shen Lao Er and have the opportunity to cheat!

Shen Yuanlong cleared his throat and told Wang Shankui the reason why he did this:

"Lao Wang! What can those Japanese supplies be counted as? Even if I take it, I won't get rich! But resting the Japanese bombers was different! Lao Tzu is annoyed by the devil's bombers these days! I really don't want to do it again tomorrow! With your foreshadowing in front, and after the toss I just made, now the little devil's plane has identified Lao Tzu as Ryosuke Isoya! It's all about playing low-altitude flying on Lao Tzu's territory! Not to mention anti-aircraft machine guns, even the Czech ones can get them! This is a great opportunity! ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yuanlong deliberately paused, he was asking Wang Shankui to digest it well, which can be regarded as a kind of psychological warfare.

"Let me tell you, Shi Jincai's anti-aircraft guns are already moving to the airdrop area, and when the little devils finish throwing out the supplies, Lao Tzu will beat all these Japanese bombers down! If you send troops now, you might be able to catch up! ”

Wang Shankui obviously didn't expect Shen Lao Er to have this hand, he was very embarrassed and said: "Old Shen! Why didn't you say it earlier! If you can kill these Japanese planes, you won't have any supplies! I'm going to send troops over to help you! ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Shankui hung up the phone and personally rushed to the position of the 139th Army with the anti-aircraft machine gun unit of the 99th Division.

Captain Endo's flying skills were vividly displayed in this airdrop operation, the Type 93 heavy bomber he piloted flew extremely low, and the materials thrown could always fall to the ground quickly, and Lieutenant Hayase in the bomb bay was very busy, and he could even see the Japanese soldiers on the ground waving military flags to them!

Everything is going very smoothly, and in five minutes at most, all the supplies will be dropped!

****************************************************

"Fighters! Chinese fighters! “

The Kato Brigade, which was responsible for covering the bombers, suddenly received a warning from the reconnaissance plane, and in the night sky in the distance, a reconnaissance plane that had been hit by a bullet and caught fire had fallen into a spiral and fell towards the earth at high speed!

Rumble! A blaze rises from the ground! Fortunately, that reconnaissance plane fell on the positions of the Chinese army! It's a pity that it's next door to the airdrop area of the 9th Brigade just now!

In the eyes of Captain Kyogo Kato, the 99th Army is the 10th Division, and the 139th Division is the 99th Army.

Ryosuke Isoya scolded all the ugly words on the ground! Damn the army aviation, not only airdropped all the supplies to the Chinese, but the plane shot down by the Chinese also fell on the head of the 10th Division!

Captain Kyogo Kato led the Kato Brigade to meet the 96 Marines, and after two rounds, Captain Kato recognized that his opponent was flying an E-16 fighter, which was much more maneuverable than the 96th Marine, and the Kato Brigade was completely passive as in the past. In less than five minutes, Kato's brigade lost 4 96 land battles, while the Chinese Air Force tended to be unscathed!

It is necessary to block the fighters of the Chinese, not to let them get close to the bombers, the Type 93 heavy bombers with low-altitude airdrops are like huge whales, and there is no power to fight back in front of the light E-16!

"Boom! Boom! ”

A huge explosion sounded from behind Captain Kyogo Kato, and when he turned around, he was shocked to find that the Type 93 heavy bombers of the 9th Group were crashing to the ground one after another! And then explode and disintegrate!

Could it be that there are still Chinese fighters coming?

Captain Kyogo Kato jerked the nose of the plane and took seven 96 Marines to see what was going on, but they were intercepted by the E-16!

Captain Kyogo Kato watched as a Chinese E-16 crashed into a 96 landsman, and both perished. "The Chinese are crazy." Captain Kyogo Kato felt his body tremble for no reason!

Not long after, another squadron leader of Kato's brigade was also shot down by another E-16. Captain Keigo Kato, whose eyes were blood-red, was about to rush forward to take revenge, when an E-16 was killed while stabbing obliquely, and after a burst of gunfire, Captain Keigo Kato felt the sky and the earth spin, and his plane entered a spiral.

Captain Kyogo Kato took a closer look and found that his right flank of the 96th Marine had been shaved off by the bullets of the E-16. "It's over, I've ruined my reputation in China." Captain Kyogo Kato closed his eyes. At this point, he could have parachuted out, but Captain Kyogo Kato didn't.

With a loud bang, the 96 Land Battle crashed into the ground, and the fireball rose into the sky, burning Kato's landline and body, and also destroying his dream of rampaging in the Chinese sky. Not long ago, Captain Kyogo Kato was so invincible that he even threw a war letter to the Chinese Air Force. But now he is losing so fast, so finely.
