9.169 Creating chaos

The commander of the 3rd Flying Regiment, Major General Hara Michita, was temporarily ordered to serve as the air commander of the Japanese airdrop operation, and he was to take off from the front-line airfield in Wuhu with his flying regiment, and the 3rd Flying Regiment was mainly responsible for carrying army officers to carry out airborne missions on the 6th Division. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but this task seems to have been very difficult from the beginning.

On the night of April 29, on the airport shrouded in night, the first batch of Japanese troops to serve as air cover began to enter the runway, and the motor roared throughout the airport, which was deafening. And the group of paratrooper transport planes waiting for the take-off signal is also moving slowly on the airport runway like a giant python. As the three green signal flares took off from the tower, one after another 96 Land Battles quickly rose into the air.

The two reconnaisance planes returning home misjudged the direction in the dim sky, and the airport commander did not let the reconnaisance planes land on the alternate runway in accordance with the regulations, and as a result, they collided head-on with the 96 th Marine Group, which had just taken off, over the same runway. Two planes exploded in the air on the spot, and the other two collided and landed on the airport together, immediately igniting a sky-high fire, causing several other planes that had not yet taken off and the nearby alert detachment and field personnel to be killed in the flames. For a while, the screams of fire extinguishers and ambulances rang out, and the entire airport suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Major General Haramichi, who claimed to be unfazed by the accident, was also stunned by the accident at that time, and he was finally relieved, so he hurriedly commanded the Japanese troops to restore order and urgently clear the runway, but the take-off time of the 3rd Flying Regiment was delayed by two hours.

But as a result, when Major General Yuan Dao arrived at the predetermined airspace to complete the assembly formation, he actually found that the 3rd Flying Regiment was not the most unlucky, and through the light signal, Major General Yuan Dao learned that there was a flight group that departed from Wuxi Airport, and it was actually lost on the way, and in the end he could only decide to let this group withdraw from the operation directly. Otherwise, just waiting in the air will run out of fuel for the aircraft.

Next, the huge fleet sent by Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi continued their bad luck. On the way to their destination, they were attacked by at least fifteen rounds of attacks by the Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Air Force for China, and suffered heavy losses!

Hundreds of fighter jets are basically all the money of the Wuhan government! From this, Major General Michita Kanhara came to the conclusion that the Chinese had already learned about the Japanese airdrop operation against the 6th Division, otherwise it would not have been possible for so many Chinese fighters to intercept it!

Since the Japanese planes were not equipped with radios, Major General Haramichi was unable to count the actual losses suffered by the fleet, but the number of Japanese planes of various types shot down by Major General Haramichi alone was already more than 40! It made his heart ache! Fortunately, such losses were borne by the entire aviation regiment, and if all of them fell on the head of which flying group, I am afraid that the brigade could directly revoke the number!

Several transport planes carrying officers and non-commissioned officers opened their hatches immediately after being hit by Chinese fighter jets, and the army officers on board jumped out in a line. Looking at the umbrella flowers that opened in the night sky, Major General Yuan Dao could only wish those people good luck! Skydiving is a highly dangerous act, and only God knows how many of these army officers who have only received a few hours of paper instruction will be able to successfully open the parachute and eventually fall to the ground!

What's more, there are still a large number of Chinese fighter planes cruising in the sky, and the Japanese Army Air Force has never done such a thing as strafing and parachuting Chinese pilots in the past, and now, it is their turn to be treated like this.

And even if those army officers successfully fell to the ground, it was not something to be happy about, judging from the position shown by the compass, this piece of soil under the night sky was the defense area of the 5th war zone of the Wuhan government.....

Finally, after going through a lot of hardships, the aircraft arrived at the predetermined airdrop area, and then, they only need to throw the materials and personnel out of the cabin, and they can return to the original road....

What Major General Haramichi never expected was that when the aircraft group entered the sky above the 6th Division and was about to look for ground signals and prepare for airdropping, they found that the entire airborne area was full of white fog barriers, and almost nothing could be seen except the black ground. Due to the heavy fog, the Japanese pilots could not find the fire signal from the ground, and the entire group had to fight a "circle battle" in vain in the air in an attempt to find an opportunity to land in the air.

Looking at the height of the pointer of the fuel gauge dropping lower and lower, the heart of Major General Yuan Dao was about to freeze into a popsicle!

"Your Excellency, General! Look! ”

Finally, the co-pilot of Major General Haramichi found a few small bright spots on the ground, and they quickly flew over to lower the altitude and counted them carefully. That's right! It's three fires! This is the agreed airdrop ground signal.

"Great! Your Excellency, General! Here is the 6th Division! ”

Under the control of Major General Haramichi, the fighter began to rise again, and then climbed in height, more and more fire signals began to appear in the field of vision of Major General Haramichi, Amaterasu bless! The fog is starting to get thinner!

"Let's start the airborne operation! Your Excellency ..... General"

The co-pilot Hirata Nakasa looked a little anxious, as time went by, the fuel was becoming less and less, he silently calculated in his heart, and now the remaining fuel was not enough to fly back to Wuhu Airport after the operation.

It really can't be delayed any longer!

"Nope! Take a closer look! Huang Haoran is a very cunning opponent! ”

Major General Hara Dao stubbornly interrupted Hirata's proposal, all because of a name that the Japanese army hated, Huang Haoran.

At this moment on the ground, Sasaki and his Japanese traitors were frantically destroying every telephone line they could find, and the infiltration of the 99th Division's special service battalion was not going well, and there were exchanges of fire in many areas. However, in this way, Sasaki, who stayed in the hinterland of the 6th Division, was much safer, and the gunfire at the front made them completely a "shadow" that no one cared about, and the Japanese traitors could finally use their destructive abilities to their heart's content!

Even, the actions of the 99th Division's special service battalion became a prop for Sasaki to create chaos within the 6th Division.

"Yaga! Don't you understand! This is an order personally given by His Excellency the Division Commander! Listen to the gunshots outside, the people of China want to sneak in! The contact signal must be replaced! Yes! Four fires! Change to four! Go for it! ”

Of course, this is not the real order given by Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba, but the fake news issued by Sasaki and they stripped the telephone line and connected the interphone, and they kept calling the various brigades and squadrons that could be connected, ordering them to change the original three fires to four, five, or six or seven, in short, how chaotic to say, the roar of the planes in the sky has been ringing for a long time, and the Chinese army has set up the correct ground signal, and now, as long as the Japanese themselves make mistakes, it is okay!
