9.170 Misleading

"General! Flashing lights everywhere! What's going on? ”

As the altitude increased, the fog cleared, visibility was restored, and the co-pilot, Hirata Nakasa, finally noticed that something was wrong! The ground under the night sky was full of fire signals, and the length of it stretched for dozens of miles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf these chassis are really all from the 6th Division, then there is no need for the aviation regiment to spend blood to implement the airdrop......

It must have been the Chinese army that discovered that the 6th Division was using fire to guide the airdrop, so it also tried to mislead the air group in the air!

"Calm down! Hirata Nakasa, take a good look at it again! ”

Compared to Hirata Nakasa, Hara Michitai seems to be much calmer. Under the reminder of the words of Major General Hara Michi, Hirata Nakasa squinted his eyes and observed for a long time, and finally found out the difference in those fire signals on the ground!

"Ahh Another fire was lit! This is already the sixth pile! And over there, there are four fires! Quantity! Varies in quantity! ”

If it weren't for the low height of the cockpit, Hirata Nakasa would have been eager to stand up and count the number of fires on the ground, and he had gradually understood at this time that except for the fire signals in one area, which were all standard three, the number of fire signals in other areas was very different, basically from one to nine There were any numbers, some exaggerated, and even two-digit fires!

"That's right! It should be the sentinels of the people of China who discovered our air contact method, but they couldn't guess the specific number, so they simply bloomed everywhere, trying to try any number, trying to disrupt our vision! In fact, only the area where the three fires were lit was the position of the 6th Division! ”

Major General Haramichi said his judgment very firmly, and the firmness in his words made Hirata Nakasa ashamed! A general is a general! I'm still far from the general!

"Give the light command! Airdrop and airdrop to the area where the correct airdrop contact signal is being sent! ”

The courage of Major General Haramichi when he issued the order simply made Hirata Nakasa feel dizzy! It's so heroic! He could only shout with all his strength: "Hay! ”

A few minutes later, the formation of planes in the air began to frantically dump people and supplies on the ground.

Seeing his aircraft formation flying towards the hinterland of the Chinese army, and then starting to carry out airdrops and airdrops without hesitation, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, fell into a complete frenzy! He held up the binoculars and jumped to his feet and scolded loudly:

"Baga Crush! Eight Ga Pressure! Come back! Come back! You're in the wrong place! ”

But even if Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba screams out his throat, can the plane in the sky be heard?

The chief of staff on the side, Shigeta Shigetoku Osa, the commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade and Major General Katsuji Imamura, and the commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade and Major General Mitsuru Ushijima were all dead at the moment, and they all knew what the loss of this airdropped material and airborne reinforcements meant to the 6th Division!

It stands to reason that at the critical juncture of the 6th Division's survival, the Reich should have sent a real airborne force to carry out the rescue, rather than having inexperienced army officers serve as "air test subjects".

The Airborne Forces are a special type of troops that are parachuted and airborne into ground operations, and they are not something that ordinary people can do!

But now it was only October 1938, and Japan at this time did not have regular airborne troops at all!

It was not until November 1940 that Japan began to "import" from Germany to form paratroopers, in a vain attempt to reverse its decline in the quagmire in the Chinese theater and prepare for the next sweep of the Pacific theater.

"Division Commander! You should send a newspaper to Nanjing! Send a report to Prime Minister Ninji Okamura! Send a report to the six generals of Shun Hata! Please stop the stupidity of aviation! ”

The person who spoke was the commander of the 6th Cavalry Wing, Koga Kuzo Nakasa, and although his voice was loud, it didn't mean that he was right! And just the opposite, Koga Kuzo Nakasa made a common-sense mistake!

That is, at this time, the Japanese plane was not equipped with a radio, and even if Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba moved to the Japanese emperor now, he didn't want to change the farce that was happening in the air in the slightest!

"Koga Nakasa! You better go back and feed the horses! You idiot! ”

Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro had rarely been angry with his senior officers before, but now when he heard Koga Kuzo Nakasa's proposal, he really couldn't help it!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Now let's ask the co-captain below what's going on? Is there a problem with the contact signal? ”

In the end, it was the chief of staff Shigeta Shigetoku Osaku who thought of the idea, and as the phone calls were connected one after another, the truth gradually surfaced.

"Division Commander! The reason has been found! Not long ago, many brigades and squadrons received strange orders to change the ground contact signal, due to the failure of the telephone line at that time, the squadron leaders and group leaders below could not confirm each other, and many troops carried out the order! In other words, now our planes are in the air and see that we are sending the wrong ground signals! ”

Shigeta's report made Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba stunned! It was just a few phone calls, and the airdrop operation he had been looking forward to for a long time became like this!

"Don't order them to change it back yet!"

After the shock, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba issued an order in a rage, but before Chief of Staff Shigeta could issue this order, another worse news came!

"Division Commander! The Chinese army suddenly launched a fierce attack on us from the south! There are hundreds of artillery pieces put into operation alone! And a large number of vehicles have been added! Iwasaki Mino Osaku called for help, and the 47th Infantry Wing was about to be overwhelmed! ”

What the! Hundreds of guns! And a large number of tanks! Who else can such an opponent be besides Huang Haoran's 25th Army! Launch a general offensive on this airdrop night! Huang Haoran! You're so ruthless!

"Reinforcements! Immediately order the chariot brigade to reinforce Mino Iwasaki! Major General Katsuji Imamura, you should go to the front line to supervise the battle now! ”

The 47th Infantry Wing was attached to the 11th Infantry Brigade, and as the brigade commander, Major General Katsuji Imamura was supposed to preside over the operation. To be on the safe side, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba also transferred the 11th Brigade to the 6th Field Artillery Wing of Ken Daisa, Fujimura.

After dealing with the problem of the 47th Infantry Wing, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro began to continue to ask Chief of Staff Shigeta to carry out his previous orders, and after many phone calls, Chief of Staff Shigeta said to His Excellency the Division Commander with some helplessness:

"Division commander, because the telephone lines have not been repaired yet, many troops need manpower to transmit the news, and I am afraid it will take a while for the order to be transmitted......"

"For a while? At that time, all the supplies will go to the Zhina! Order them to send out all the heralds! I want my contact signal to be back to normal! (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
