Chapter 132: Assembling Airspace
7.132 Convergence airspace
After sitting in the cockpit for a closer look, Lieutenant Hayase discovered that his flying skills were not on the same level as Captain Endo at all! It was the first time he had seen a guy who could handle an inferior Type 93 heavy bomber so easily!
There is a kind of person who is born to fly in the sky!
The word "genius" should be used to describe people like Captain Endo, right!?
Lieutenant Hayase now finally understands why Hagiwara Nakasa is so tolerant of Captain Endo, a flying team must have an outstanding guy to complete tasks that others can't accomplish! Attacking in such a starry night, Captain Endo is definitely the best choice to serve as the pilot mission of the 9th Brigade!
"Captain Endo! I would love to be a great pilot like you! Can you teach me? β
Excitement and excitement had completely dominated Lieutenant Hayase's brain, and he actually made a very rude request to the "trump card" of the 9th Brigade on the way to the mission!
"Teach you? Who taught me in the first place? Bub! As long as you fly for a few more years, you will feel that what you just saw is nothing remarkable! Compared to the guys who flew the fighters, bomber pilots like us were just lame goods! And then there's ..... A well-skilled pilot doesn't necessarily get promoted! I know that you are saying in private that I will be the next captain of the 9th brigade, which only shows that you are too naΓ―ve! As far as I know, the Tokugawa Shogun of the Air Corps did not say anything about using me......"
Fortunately, Captain Endo's thinking was "different from ordinary people", and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lieutenant Hayase's problem at all, and he gave Lieutenant Hayase some pointers. Lieutenant Hayase www.biquge.info Captain Endo's "kindness" in the pen "Fun" Pavilion made Lieutenant Hayase very moved, and Lieutenant Hayase's feeling for Captain Endo in his heart changed from simple fear at the beginning to fear and respect.
After being moved, Lieutenant Hayase felt that he should do something practical, so Lieutenant Hayase took out the charts from his purse and began to help Captain Endo correct the course.
After the 9th Brigade flew over Tai'an, it broke into the thick clouds, and the weather was getting worse and worse, if it weren't for the desperate situation of the Isoya Division, the Temporary Air Corps of the Japanese Army in North China would never have allowed their planes to attack at night with such poor visibility!
The Japanese pilots flying the Type 93 heavy bombers looked at the dark world outside the window, and their hearts began to drum! Fly a little further and you will enter the area of engagement between China and Japan, and in the event of a miscarriage, you may fall on the positions of the Chinese army!
That's no joke!
Captain Endo felt the concerned gaze from behind! Since the Type 93 heavy bomber was not equipped with a radio, Captain Endo was unable to direct the planes behind him through radio waves. In order not to let the plane behind him be lost, Captain Endo took the initiative to turn on the heading light on the tail of his plane.
The red "ghost fire" that suddenly emerged from the darkness immediately calmed down the pilots who were following Captain Endo's plane, and as long as Captain Endo, the "trump card" of the 9th Brigade, did not lose his way, he could always fly to his destination.
Captain Endo's Type 93 heavy bomber was like a floating lighthouse, and an hour later, Captain Endo led the bomber group of the 9th Group out of the clouds! Saw the huge moon!
Lieutenant Hayase checked the various instruments in the wheelhouse for a long time, and then lay on the chart and calculated for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that there was no yaw. He excitedly shouted at Captain Endo:
"Amazing! Terrific! Over here! It's already the realm of Qufu! In a little while, we will fly over Zaozhuang! Everything was as perfect as planned before departure! Captain Endo! We didn't go the wrong way! β
The fact that the 9th Brigade was able to reach the target area on time in such harsh weather conditions was definitely a remarkable achievement in the eyes of Lieutenant Wasase!
However, Captain Endo only replied lightly: "Isn't this a normal thing?" Hagiwara Nakasa is not a fool! β
Lieutenant Hayase smiled a little helplessly, he felt that with the character of Captain Endo, he was indeed not suitable to be the captain of the flying group.
According to the bombing plan formulated in advance, the 9th Brigade should converge with the Kato Brigade responsible for providing them with air cover in this airspace ten kilometers south of Qufu, Captain Endo raised his right hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, the time was just right, it stands to reason that the Kato Brigade should have appeared!
"Why didn't you see our fighters?"
Although Captain Endo did not like to see the Kato Brigade that had been defeated repeatedly in air battles, he still hoped that he could see the fighters of the Kato Brigade now. It's always reassuring to have fighter jets on a bombing mission.
"Maybe the Kato brigade is delayed on the road! The weather conditions in the airspace over central China are not very good tonight. Not all of them can be as good as you, Captain Endo! β
Lieutenant Sayase's little fart made a smile appear on Captain Endo's face, and Captain Endo turned his head to Lieutenant Sayase and said:
"Little one, you have a point! Let's circle around here a few times and wait for those fighter pilots......"
Before Captain Endo could finish his words, two planes suddenly rushed out of the clouds above his Type 93 heavy bomber, and after diving at high speed, they plunged into the sea of clouds below with the nose of Captain Endo's plane.
The two slender bodies showed that the other party was a fighter, which made the nerves of Captain Endo and Lieutenant Sayase tense at the same time! Although they all didn't quite understand why the other party didn't fire at them.
The bulky Type 93 heavy bomber will have no chance of winning on the fighter plane! If these two fighters are Chinese, then the 9th brigade will face a disaster!
"Captain Endo! They're back! Those two fighters are back! β
The nervousness made Lieutenant Wasase's voice sharper and sharper, if Lieutenant Hayase was maneuvering this Type 93 heavy bomber, Lieutenant Hayase would definitely climb high and return immediately!
"Don't panic! Look carefully! It's our own fighter! Made in Japan! β
Captain Endo once again showed his worth, and in just two face-to-face shots, he recognized the models of the two fighters in the high-speed movement of the night.
"Your own people? Why do your own people still use such dangerous actions? Aren't you afraid of machine crashes and deaths? β
Lieutenant Hayase was a little suspicious, and he glanced at the two fighters that had returned, his nose sticking to the front windshield.
In the end, Lieutenant Hayase discovered that those two crazy fighters were really the Type 96 land combat equipped by the Japanese Army Aviation! The Chinese Air Force has never been equipped with a Japanese fighter of this type! No need to ask, it can only be the arrival of the Kato brigade!
"Eight Tooth Road! Kyogo Kato, this bastard! What do you want to do? β
Captain Endo and Lieutenant Hayase in the Type 93 heavy bomber gritted their teeth with hatred, but Captain Kyogo Kato in the Type 96 land battle let out a burst of wild laughter!
Captain Kyogo Kato, who has been depressed for a long time, has finally found the object of teasing! These bulky bombers, as expected, are very interesting!
Captain Kyogo Kato was the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 16th Wing of the Japanese Invasion of China. Since the start of the all-out war between China and Japan, the number of stars marking the results of the battle on the body of his Type 96 land fighter has increased dramatically, and eight have been painted so far. Captain Kyogo Kato enjoyed the reputation of "expelling the king" in the Japanese Army Aviation
In addition to his flying skills and daring to fight in the air, Captain Kyogo Kato is also very cunning. In his Kato brigade, there are also a group of flying masters such as Lieutenant Kawahara, so the 2nd brigade of Captain Kyogo Kato has never taken the Chinese Air Force into account!
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the Japanese flying groups that fought against the Chinese Air Force belonged to naval aviation. In the face of the heroic Chinese pilots, the losses of the Japanese naval aviation were quite heavy.
This result made army aviation officers like Captain Kyogo Kato feel very complicated, and they were both a little gloating and happy to see the naval aviation make a fool of themselves, and a little annoyed, feeling that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese air force was beyond their imagination. After several ordeals, Captain Kyogo Kato decided to "pretend to be a knight" and stand out for HNA!
In fact, Lu Airlines wants to take this opportunity to completely suppress HNA!
At the end of January 38, Captain Kyogo Kato led 30 Japanese planes to attack Luoyang. After the indiscriminate bombardment, the Kato brigade threw down a white cloth war book, which read:
"Dear Chinese Air Force combatants,
I have deep respect for your fighting spirit. Contemptible people welcome the fighters of the Chinese Air Force to come to the battlefield to fight the victory.
Captain Kyogo Kato of the Japanese Combat Team "
Captain Kyogo Kato couldn't help but smile smugly when he thought of the embarrassing situation of the Chinese Air Force after receiving the war letter! What Captain Kyogo Kato never expected was that a few days later at Yanzhou Airport in Shandong, he actually received a letter of response from the Chinese Air Force, and his words were-for-tat!
"Japanese Air Force combatants:
The day before yesterday, I received a battle letter from your team, saying that I wanted to win or lose with our army, and my team welcomed it very much, and the contemptible people were also ready to learn it......
Chinese Air Force Combat Team"
Captain Kyogo Kato held the battle book in his hand, and he was pleasantly surprised, and every cell in his body was beating wildly! He was finally looking forward to the opportunity to overwhelm naval aviation!
The start of this contest was somewhat sudden. At the end of March, at the invitation of Huang Haoran, Qian Dajun sent the Third Brigade of the Chinese Air Force to bomb the forward positions of the Japanese army in the northern section of the Jinpu Road. On the way back, the 3rd Brigade accidentally encountered the Kato Brigade and knocked out 3 lone planes of the Kato Brigade.
As soon as they fought, Captain Kyogo Kato folded for a while! In a fit of rage, Captain Kyogo Kato personally planned an interception battle, and Kato's brigade planned to intercept the returning Chinese fighters in the skies over Guide. Unexpectedly, the interception turned into a rout in the end, and the Kato brigade also lost 6 fighters, including Lieutenant Kawahara, the "treasure of Kato".
Fearing punishment from Wing Captain Nitta Shaosa, Captain Kyogo Kato could only slap his swollen face and become fat, and secretly added a "1" in front of the results of the "3" frame. Finally let him get through the trick.
In the past, Captain Kyogo Kato had never done such a reputation-damaging thing.
It's really because the Chinese Air Force has driven Captain Kyogo Kato to the edge of the cliff! Captain Kyogo Kato made such a helpless move!
After the defeat in the ground battle at Taierzhuang, Isoya Ryosuke complained to the North China Front Command again and again, and Isoya Ryosuke believed that the loss of the sky by the Army Air Force was one of the important reasons why his 10th Division was in trouble! Before the 2nd Brigade set off for this mission to cover the bombers, Shinkawa Shosa exerted pressure on Captain Kato Keigo and clearly asked Captain Kato Keigo to answer whether he was capable of solving the problem of the Chinese Air Force in the theater!
Shinkawa's tone and attitude made Captain Kato Kyogo feel a little panicked, and if he told Shinkawa that he couldn't do it, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat. Soon the army aviation will send a newcomer to take over his position as captain! This kind of ending Captain Kyogo Kato can't even think of it!
Therefore, Captain Kyogo Kato could only grit his teeth and answer: If the Shina Air Force dares to come again, his Kato Brigade will wipe out all the Shina Air Force!
It's a bad day! Captain Kyogo Kato, who attacked with great pressure, arrived at the meeting point early with his 2nd Brigade, and looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Captain Kyogo Kato's mood was simply terrible!
So he decided to tease the bulky bombers of the 9th Group and change his mood!
Obviously, Captain Kyogo Kato achieved his goal! After he controlled the Type 96 land battle and roared past, the Type 93 heavy bombers of the 9th Brigade suddenly blew up the nest!
That scene at that time simply made Captain Kyogo Kato very happy!
After the deceleration, two Type 96 Marines danced in front of the bomber group, and Captain Kyogo Kato conveyed his identity to the 9th Group in this technical way. After the bomber group of the 9th Group regained its composure, from the clouds above, the 96 Land Battles of the 2nd Group came out one after another, one after another, a total of 24 planes.
All members of the Kato Brigade are here!
Now, let's go to Zaozhuang!
***************************************************
After arranging everything on the position, Shen Lao Er went into the underground bunker. Qian Guoliang, commander of the 99th Division, commanded the guards at the division headquarters to block all possible light leaks, and then escaped from the foreign fire and lit a horse lantern.
The jumping yellow flames brought the light into this underground bunker, and after Shen Yuanlong drank two sips of water, he suddenly thought of something:
"Division Commander Qian, have the people we sent to contact the artillery regiment come back? Whether you can eat meat tonight or not, it's all up to you! β
Qian Guoliang shook his head, and then said: "Xu Liang has been there for more than three hours, and he doesn't even have half a phone call now... Junza, do you think he will refuse to help us with artillery? β
"Don't help? Why? How many benefits did Lao Tzu give him Shi cannon before? Those Japanese howitzers that the 121st Division got back, Lao Tzu didn't even look at them! Don't forget to shoot his cannons! Lao Tzu's 99th Army also has an artillery battalion! What could he do if he didn't give him those howitzers? β
This is Shen Laoer's logic, if he doesn't rob other people's things, he is already giving others face!
"Bell ......"
The phone rang suddenly, and Qian Guoliang hurriedly walked over to pick up the phone, for fear of upsetting Shen Yuanlong.
"99th Division! I'm Qian Guoliang! The military seat is with me! What the....? It's done! Captain Shi agreed? Good!.. Good! I'll report to the military seat right away!
