7.130 Airport

Perhaps because Han Fuqu was nostalgic for the years he spent in Jinan, the chairman of Shandong Province did not carry out large-scale destruction of the facilities in Jinan City when he fled with his troops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info As a result, the Japanese North China Front picked up a big bargain.

Because Jinan Airport is well-equipped and well-maintained, and can take off and land relatively large aircraft, it has become the station of the 9th Brigade of the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the Japanese North China Front. Along with the 9th Brigade, there was also an airfield service squadron, an antiaircraft artillery unit, an automobile squadron, and a radio communications squadron stationed at Jinan Airport.

The planes of the 9th Group are heavy bombers, and at least two-thirds of the bombshells that have fallen on the land of Taierzhuang these days have been dropped by the 9th Group. Ryosuke Isoya, the commander of the 10th Division, would frequently request air assistance whenever an attack did not go well, but the Japanese pilots of the 9th Group were tired enough.

Only on days when the weather was not suitable for flying and at night could the Japanese pilots of the 9th Group stop their busyness and return to the base to rest.

"Command! Command! Urgent mission! Pilot emergency gathering! ”

The shouts of the 9th Brigade herald officers and the sharp military whistle suddenly broke the silence of the night, and the Japanese pilots who were awakened quickly jumped out of the bed, and after confirming that they had heard correctly, they quickly packed up their equipment and rushed out of the dormitory building.

Lieutenant Wasase drank some alcohol last night, so he slept relatively deadly, and if it weren't for the fact that his roommate specially woke up Lieutenant Wasase before leaving, Lieutenant Wase would definitely be severely punished by Captain Hagiwara Nakasa!

"Damn it! How can there be an urgent mission at night? Do you want our bombers to have searchlights? ”

Lieutenant Wasase jumped into the hallway with his boots on his feet, and after the commotion earlier, the corridor of the pilot's quarters had returned to silence, and it seemed that Lieutenant Hayase would be the last person to participate in the emergency assembly.

"Gotta hurry! I don't want to upset this guy Hagiwara Nakasa......"

Lieutenant Wasase, who was about to turn around and speed up while complaining, was suddenly pushed from behind, and the man used a lot of strength, and Lieutenant Hayase rushed forward five or six meters away before he staggered and stabilized his body.

"Yaga! ......”

The angry Lieutenant Wasase turned his head and cursed, but when Lieutenant Wasase saw clearly who was attacking him, the latter words were swallowed alive by Lieutenant Hayase!

"Captain Endo! You've done a great job! “

Standing upright, bowing, greeting, Lieutenant Hayase's series of actions only returned to the other party's fluttering sentence: "Roar!" ”

Captain Endo: This can be regarded as saying hello to Lieutenant Sakase.

"Endo-kun! Let's hurry to the runway! It's not a good thing to be the last person in an emergency gathering......"

Lieutenant Hayase's attitude towards Captain Endo was very respectful, this is because Captain Endo, who pushed him from behind just now, is the ace pilot of the 9th Brigade, and even the captain Hagiwara Nakasa's flying skills are far inferior to Captain Endo, and there were rumors among the pilots a long time ago that Captain Endo would sit on the throne of the captain of the 9th Brigade after Hagiwara Nakasa was promoted.

"An urgent mission at night? Isn't that really interesting? Bub! When was the last time you took part in a night flight? ”

Captain Endo is like he didn't hear what Lieutenant Wasase said at all, the world of pilots is completely different from the Army. Often, good pilots always have some unique personalities.

In order to protect these "ace pilots", the captains of the Japanese air forces will always open up to them. In short, these "ace pilots" are a group of people with privileges.

This is the reason why Captain Endo is so arrogant.

But Lieutenant Wasase did not have such privileges, he was just an ordinary co-pilot.

"Never before in real combat...... Endo-kun! Let's get to the runway first! “

It may have been Lieutenant Hayase's almost pleading tone that played a role, Captain Endo actually nodded, and walked with Lieutenant Hayase to the door of the dormitory building.

Because he was walking with Captain Endo, Lieutenant Hayase did not dare to walk in front of Captain Endo, and he always kept a distance of half a body from Captain Endo.

Captain Endo, who was almost pacing and walking, noticed Lieutenant Sakase's anxiety, he first laughed, and then said:

"Little one! Don't be so nervous! Even when strongly requested by the commanders of the divisions, the Tokugawa shogun would usually only send light bombers or fighters to carry out the bombing. It was an extremely unwise decision to send a heavy bomber at night when visibility was extremely low! Empire-made bombshells should not be wasted like this! So tonight... It should just be a rational exercise! Our Hagiwara Captain is really idle! ”

I have to admit that what Captain Endo said is very reasonable, since the formation of the North China Front, the 9th Brigade has never attacked at night, which is why Lieutenant Hayase can drink at dinner.

After accepting Captain Endo's inference in his heart, Lieutenant Hayase's pace also slowed down, and he was not in a hurry now!

In order to prevent a surprise attack, the pilot's dormitory building was built next to the runway of the airport, and it was only less than a hundred meters from the dormitory gate to the meeting place, but Captain Endo and Lieutenant Hayase walked for three minutes!

Captain Hagiwara Nakasa finally became a little impatient when he saw Captain Endo pacing slowly.

"Hurry! Endo! This is not a drill! It's a combat mission! ”

The timid Lieutenant Wasase was so frightened by Hagiwara Nakasa's voice that he hurriedly ran out, and he didn't care whether the next captain would have a bad impression of him, after all, Hagiwara Nakasa was the current captain and could decide Lieutenant Saise's future.

Lieutenant Hayase's movements were fast, and in a few seconds, he completed a series of actions of sprinting, standing, reporting, and blending into the queue, and then quickly lowered his head to avoid Captain Endo's aggressive gaze.

In the last twenty meters, Captain Endo still walked for more than ten seconds, and Hagiwara Nakasa gritted his teeth in his heart and asked himself, did he spoil Captain Endo too much?

"That's it! Now start announcing the order! First of all! The speed of your emergency assembly is terrible! ”

Hagiwara Nakasa still didn't dismiss his trump card in the end, and for tonight's night flight, he needs a good hand like Captain Endo. So Hagiwara Nakasa could only use an extremely vague criticism to find himself under the stairs.

Captain Endo, who was standing in the first row of the queue, smiled arrogantly.

"This is an order personally given by the commander of the aviation regiment, Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi! Our 9th Brigade will go to Zaozhuang on a special mission! All on deck! The ground crew is refueling and loading your plane, and it will take off in thirty minutes! Hurry up and mark the charts now! Disband! ”

After the pilot was disbanded, Lieutenant Hayase wanted to explain to Captain Endo, but was defeated by Captain Hagiwara Nakasatsu.

"Captain Endo! You're on top tonight! The whole brigade depends on you to lead the way! The weather is not too good and you have to pay attention to some ......"

Hagiwara Nakasa put Captain Endo's bomber in front as a navigator, which was indeed the safest arrangement, and in the entire 9th Brigade, Captain Endo's night flight experience was the most abundant! When Captain Endo was in Japan, he was a famous madman "pilot".

"What special task? Does it need to be so mysterious? ”

As soon as Captain Endo came up, he threw out a very taboo question, since Hagiwara Nakasa didn't explain the content of the mission just now, it should be a top secret that can't be said.

Hagiwara Nakasa took care of his trump card again, he first looked around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to him and Captain Endo, Hagiwara Nakasa said in a low voice:

"Ryosuke Isoya's 10th Division was encircled by the Chinese army and was about to run out of ammunition and food, General Terauchi Shouichi directly found General Tokugawa and asked the air force to dispatch planes to Zaozhuang to carry out airdrops, and tonight the planes were not loaded with bombs, all of them were food and ammunition! The 3rd Independent Flying Squadron will also airdrop 200 middle- and lower-level officers to the Isoya Division, what do you want me to say about such a thing? ”

It turned out that the so-called "top secret" was nothing more than a fig leaf that Hagiwara Nakasa had prepared for himself! Who would have thought that after Lishui in Nanjing, the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield would usher in another painful defeat so soon?

"Isoya Division? Didn't the military newspaper say that they were still attacking Taierzhuang? Why did you retreat to Zaozhuang now and fall into the encirclement of the Chinese army? Relying on these planes of the North China Front, how could it be possible to supply the entire 10th Division? It's just a joke......"

"Say no more! Captain Endo! We don't need to bother with the Army's affairs! All you have to do is take care of tonight's piloting mission! The battle situation in Zaozhuang is very complicated, and General Terauchi Shouichi does not want the airdropped materials to fall into the hands of the Chinese! The Isoya Division has lost the face of the Imperial Japanese Army! Lu Hang, we must not be ashamed anymore! ”

Hagiwara Nakasa interrupted Captain Endo's words, some things are better in the stomach! Regardless of whether the Isogu Division can break through in the end, this battle in Taierzhuang will become a scar on the North China Front, and if anyone squeezes out the pus behind the scar, the army will go crazy!

You must know that the Central China Dispatch Army has not admitted that the 114th Division was severely damaged by Huang Haoran in Lishui, and still continues to slander Huang Haoran in Japanese newspapers, calling Huang Haoran "China's most lying general".

It is a Japanese tradition to cover up past failures and mistakes!

"I need some flares, and! It is necessary to get the cooperation of the Isoya Division! There must be a guidance signal on the ground! ”

Captain Endo finally put away his hanging, his arrogance can only be tolerated within the 9th Brigade, and a small Army Aviation Captain goes to challenge the entire Army? Only a madman would do that!

"No problem! Team 1 will send a reconnaissance plane to accompany us, and flares will be mounted on the reconnaissance plane! They will make the sky of Zaozhuang light up in advance! There will be three piles of flames in the airdrop area, which is the mark agreed upon by the Aviation Regiment and the Isoya Division! ”

Hagiwara Nakasa had long known that Captain Endo would ask about this, and he answered quickly and neatly.

"And the problem of escort! The Chinese Air Force seems to have crawled back from the brink of death! We can't afford to take it lightly......"

Captain Endo's first request had just been fulfilled, and he made another request, and suddenly heard the name "Chinese Air Force" at night, which made Hagiwara Nakasa feel a little uncomfortable!

Not long after the start of the all-out war against China, the Chinese sky became the backyard of the Japanese pilots! Groups of "Type 88", "Type 94", and "Type 96" planes, flapping their wings proudly, flew around in the Chinese sky.

When modern warfare suddenly comes, the Chinese Air Force can put into combat a pitiful few!

China's policymakers have paid a heavy price for their stupidity and short-sightedness! While the "Air Force Victory Theory" has gained a large number of supporters in Japan, China's warlords and politicians are fighting endlessly for pieces of land and piles of money to force their soldiers. China's army is malariously inflated. But the Chinese Air Force has not been developed accordingly.

Although the heroic Chinese pilots used their spirit of treating death as if they were at home to narrow the gap with the Japanese Air Force, and there were such feats as the glorious "August 14", such feats as Shen Chonghai and Chen Xichun driving planes to ram into Japanese warships, and warriors like Yan Haiwen who swore to die and were respected by the Japanese army, but with the passage of time, the colorful and complicated models of Hawker, Douglas, and Martin frequently rose and fell, and the loss of Chinese fighters soared with an unstoppable momentum.

The Japanese Air Force has finally taken over the skies of China! They flew the advanced fighter planes, skimmed over the treetops, flew lower, exploded harder, and swept more fiercely!

Flying and fighting in the skies of China is like walking on a sunny and refreshing green space.

Clumsy bombers can even strike alone without fighter escort. The Japanese pilots never returned with bombs, and there were bombs at the base anyway. After bombing the positions of the Chinese defenders, piles of extra bombs flew towards the city and flew towards the unarmed Chinese people.

The terrible screams and the flying flesh and blood turned into the cruel jokes of the Japanese pilots after tea and dinner. The Japanese Air Force, as if holding a blood-stained sword, kept waving it above the heads of the Chinese. They want to wield this sword to the fullest, and they want to paralyze the Chinese under this sword.

At that time, Hagiwara Nakasa was also one of the thugs, in his opinion. The Chinese Air Force has been completely wiped out by them!

During those happy times, the Japanese pilots often lowered the nose of the plane and tore at the nerves of Chinese soldiers and civilians who had rarely seen an airplane with the shrill roar of the plane as it dived. Tons of bombs, with terrifying roars, flew towards the positions of the Chinese defenders, flew towards peaceful cities, flew towards the crowds of fleeing people on the main roads.

The Chinese on the ground could only look up at their distorted faces, their eyes wide with horror and fear, revealing the horror of this sword of war.

What Hagiwara Nakasa didn't expect was that the "happy period" would end so suddenly!

With the help of the Soviets, the Chinese Air Force was reorganized. On February 18, 1938, the 26th Wing of the Japanese Naval Air Force was once again challenged by the Chinese Air Force in Nanchang, and Captain Shigeaki Nango, known as the first of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Japanese Navy, was shot down in the engagement! From that moment on, the Chinese Air Force made a strong comeback!

The Japanese naval aviation was defeated in the "218" air battle in Wuhan, and was shot down by the Chinese air force 13 fighters in one fell swoop, losing several ace pilots, and greatly losing vitality! After that, he could only dare to occasionally sneak attack Wuhan and other places at night, and often under the joint attack of the Chinese Air Force and ground anti-aircraft artillery, he indiscriminately dropped a few bombs and fled in a hurry!

Not long ago, the Chinese Air Force even took the initiative to send fighters to bomb the North China Front Army Division on the northern line of Jinpu Road, which also shows from one side that the Chinese Air Force already has a considerable number of aircraft! They are no longer satisfied with being passively beaten, but have set their sights on the Japanese Army in the war with the Chinese army!

China's skies are dangerous again!

So Captain Endo's worries are very reasonable!

"The Kato Brigade of the 16th Wing of the Army Aviation will provide air cover for our 9th Brigade! They fought against the Chinese Air Force in Taierzhuang and are more familiar with the Chinese Air Force! ”

Hagiwara Nakasa's expression was a little unnatural when he said these words, especially when he said the number of "Kato Brigade", he obviously sped up his speech, trying to fool the past.

Captain Endo is not an easy master to deal with, and he ruthlessly debunked the true thoughts of Hagiwara Nakasa.

"Brigade Kato? Is that the Kato brigade that was shot down by the Chinese Air Force with 6 planes in the sky over Guide? Why not let our Army Aviation fighters come and cover us? Those guys from HNA! I don't know how to fly at all! It's a bunch of utter idiots! ”

Hagiwara Nakasa felt a little headache, in fact, he was also a little dissatisfied with the arrangement of Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, the commander of the aviation regiment! In order not to affect the morale of the 9th Group, Hagiwara Nakasa had to conceal the number of the fighter unit, and only wrote in the battle plan that their 9th Group would be covered by a fighter group.

"Captain Endo! Obey orders! Chinese pilots should not strike at night! The Kato Brigade is just for show! After all, only an air elite like you can adapt to such a difficult task, and the pilots of the Chinese Air Force are basically novices......"

Unable to provide a convincing answer to Captain Endo, Hagiwara Nakasa could only say vague words to appease Captain Endo, who looked up at the dark night sky, and he felt that the night above his head was much more reliable than that of Kato's brigade!

"Got it! I'll do what I ordered......"

Captain Endo was halfway through his words when he saw Lieutenant Hayase circling not far away, and because the conversation between Hagiwara Nakasa and Captain Endo had not ended for a long time, Lieutenant Hayase never dared to come over.

"I'll get myself a co-pilot, that's fine, right?"

Although Hagiwara Nakasa didn't know why Captain Endo said this, out of habit, Hagiwara Nakasa still agreed to Captain Endo's request.

Captain Endo grinned and beckoned to Lieutenant Wasase and shouted, "Little guy! You can come over now......" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
