Chapter 104: Be sure to find out
Meng Xiang is just not happy, but at this time, Ryosuke Isoya is already a little tragic.
"Stop attacking!" He hung his head slightly and gave the order for an armistice to the chief of staff, Umemura. There were still 11 Imperial planes in the sky that were constantly fighting to cover the retreat of 9 bombers, while the vanguard army still had about 20 planes with better surnames. The situation of the air battle has been decided, the supply of the rear of the army has gone wrong again, and the battle can no longer be sustained. Continuing the war will only increase casualties.
"We still have special ammunition!" The wing commander next to him, Nagano Yoshikuma, shouted closely, his wing was bombarded in the middle of the night, suffered heavy losses, and easily stopped the attack, he was unwilling.
As he spoke, another turkey fell from the sky.
"Bastard! Today, the wind on both sides of the Yellow River is strong, how to use special bombs! Ryosuke Isoya said angrily.
Nagano immediately bowed his head and said nothing, Ryosuke Isoya sat down slowly with his support on the table, and said word by word: "I can only leave it for later." When the time comes, when the river is crossed, all the bullets will be sent to the city of Jinan! ”
"Send a report to the headquarters immediately, the vanguard army has won a great victory in the air battle!" Lu Jianping witnessed the whole process of the air battle on the battlefield, wrote the manuscript while watching, and handed it to Huang Huanwen, who was waiting beside him.
Huang Huanwen, who had already run three times, took over the manuscript, shouted excitedly, and ran towards the telegraph office on his bicycle.
Lu Jianping also raised his fist excitedly. He had also seen the air battle in Songhu, and although there were also cheers of victory, at that time it was more about grief for the heroes and the country.
But today, it's too happy. Watching the flames burn and bloom in the air, he was so excited that he couldn't even write steadily, and he longed to turn into the plane that dived and attacked, to sweep over the burning red cloud.
"We have to hurry up and confirm what the final result is!" Lu Jianping hurriedly packed his bags and walked towards the division headquarters of the 41st Division.
It was not only him who saw the air battle, but also some people in Jinan who had not yet been evacuated also cheered in unison. I listened to the sound of the cannon in the middle of the night, and early in the morning there was a well-informed person who spread the word. On the banks of the Yellow River, the planes of the devils were bombing the positions of the vanguard army. The frightened people could no longer care about the groceries and coarse goods at home, and hurriedly accelerated the evacuation under the command of the relevant personnel of the vanguard army.
But when nearly 30 planes of the vanguard army flew like dark clouds in the air over the city of Jinan towards the Yellow River, everyone exclaimed in unison. Some of the do-gooders climbed up to watch, and although it was windy, the sky was clear, and the distant flocks of birds and huge fires could be seen clearly. Some of those who were close saw the fall of the plane and cheered in unison.
In this way, it was spread hundreds of times, and before I could retreat, the news was known both inside and outside the city.
Chen Guan and Yang Bo, who had just arrived in Jinan City, were listening to a lame man on the side of the road.
"Boom, the devil's plane fell. Then, another bullet shot down another plane. ……”
"Cripple Sun, where is there such an exaggeration, and one bullet destroys an airplane, you should be as thick as a cannonball!" The crowd shouted at him again.
"Don't make trouble, after listening to Sun Cripple, maybe the bullets of the vanguard army are as powerful as cannonballs, what are you talking about?" Someone next to him stopped him.
"That is, it's not okay to hit people with bullets? Killed someone, who will fly the plane? Isn't this just going to fall! Someone helped.
Hearing the support of the audience, Sun Cripple continued to speak with a red face.
"The commander of the vanguard army took out such a long rifle from the plane, and without aiming, he shot it, and the little devil fell down again. ……”
Chen Guan shook his head and said softly, "It's too much! ”
"It's even more exaggerated than that! That one is in ambush on the clouds with a cannon! Yang Bo said with a smile.
"If you want to find out, you have to go to the headquarters of the vanguard army!"
"How are you? Can it be faster! Huang Huanwen hurriedly urged a middle-aged man in front of him who had occupied the line for a long time.
The man turned around and glared at him, continuing to write unhurriedly.
Huang Huanwen was in a hurry to send the press release, and looked at the other positions, which were also occupied by people, and had to continue to wait for this middle-aged man who had been spent a long time.
The man had to consider every word, Huang Huanwen was anxious, and was about to change places, but saw two gendarmes of the vanguard army approaching.
Huang Huanwen saw that the man's writing hand seemed to be slightly sluggish, but he didn't care when he thought he was dazzled, but just looked enviously at the two majestic gendarmes with straight faces who came over.
"You are suspected of a security leak, please assist us in our investigation!" The gendarme said with a straight look, grabbing his hands towards the man's right hand.
The man obediently stretched out his hands, but when the gendarmes first touched him, he slammed into him, turned around and ran to the side.
Huang Huanwen, who was at a loss for what to do, suddenly became excited, and his years of errand experience made him subconsciously stretch his legs, and suddenly tripped over the middle-aged man who ran past him. The man didn't wait to get up before he was knocked to the ground by two plainclothes men next to him.
"Thank you for helping us catch this agent, little brother!" A plainclothes man walked up to him and stretched out his hand with a smile.
Huang Huanwen shook hands with the man in a dizzy state, and it wasn't until they walked away that he remembered that his manuscript had not been sent yet, screamed, and hurriedly turned around to occupy a seat. It just so happened that no one occupied the vacant seat of that person, so Huang Huanwen immediately sat down.
"The little devil is really willing, and he invested in 4 radio stations at once!" Meng Xiang was also very happy at this time, the devils would never have thought that the base had the function of detecting radio signals, but all radio communications that were not under control were targeted by dogs. After repeated arrests, a total of 16 spies who said they were arrested, including three of them.
Of course, this operation also touched more than a dozen strongholds of other forces. It seems that Jinan City is already a stormy meeting.
"Is this true?" If Meng Xiang was here, he would definitely recognize the identity of this questioner by virtue of that bald head.
"It's almost confirmed!" Dai Li, who was opposite, replied respectfully.
"I actually knocked out 67 of my planes at once, how strong is this vanguard army?" Lao Jiang stared at Dai Li and asked, "Who will be behind them?" ”
"The students are on the hunt!" Dai Li's sweat broke out all at once.
Lao Jiang didn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Check it out!" ”
……
"Great victory! Great victory! The vanguard army fought with a weak enemy and a strong enemy, shooting down 67 planes! ”
"Extra! Extra! The vanguard army won a great victory in the Yellow River, and General Meng vowed to stay in Jinan and not take half a step back! ”
"Enthusiastic young people responded to the call to go to Jinan to defend the mother of the Yellow River!"
The major newspapers published one after another, and in the midst of all kinds of reports full of retreats, such a thing as a victory was particularly inspiring and morale-boosting.
"What kind of team is this Vanguard?" The vanguard army rose too fast for many people to know. In Wuhan, a passer-by asked a shop owner who was reading a newspaper.
"Isn't there one up there? It's the 41st Division. The man pointed to the newspaper introduction.
"41st Division, I know. It's not the local army, the one who escaped in advance in Nanjing! Someone chimed in. But for all such festive things, Chinese people like to get together and share the joy with others.
"It's not that, the 41st Division was withdrawn, and this title was given to the vanguard army, I heard that people got this establishment because they fought devils in Nanjing City!" But whenever there is news, there is no secret time. The matter of the vanguard army in Nanjing has already been circulated.
"I heard that this vanguard army turned out to be a local militia group!" Someone whispered.
"Nonsense! Now there are rumors to slander our heroes of the War of Resistance against Japan with those incompetent militias! A young man who looked like a student shouted beside him.
"They are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!" A lively old lady interjected.
……
"Our planes are outdated, otherwise we wouldn't have sacrificed so many imperial elites!" Tokugawa Haomin said bitterly, 67 planes are small, the loss of imperial pilots makes him feel distressed, once the bomber is hit, it is not easy to escape, plus there are many people on board, the number of sacrifices is the largest.
"We must make Ryosuke Isoya apologize for his sins and lose the face of our empire!" Someone chimed in.
"He hasn't committed suicide yet, it's really shameless!" There is no shortage of people in the world.
This time it was not only the army aviation that lost, but also the artillery wing of the 10th Division, losing most of its artillery. Several heavy artillery brigades of the seconded 2nd Army also suffered heavy losses, and in the artillery battle, the vanguard army did not fall behind, and the later large-caliber heavy artillery caught the imperial artillery off guard and suffered a big loss. If you count the more than 500 people who were annihilated in the sneak attack on Lijiazui, and the loss of more than 1,000 people who were suddenly attacked by the infantry who were preparing to cross the river, this time Isoya Ryosuke had indeed put the hat of defeat on his head.
"Don't talk about it!" Shouichi Terauchi stood up one by one, stood up straight and glanced at the audience, before slowly speaking, "First find out, who is behind them!" ”
……
Not only domestic discussions, but also major foreign forces are also paying attention to this air battle of 100 planes, which is rare in recent years.
"Immediately find out where those people's planes came from. Are there leakers within the empire? Who's selling out the interests of the empire? The speed of the telegram made it possible for the news to reach Germany immediately. The battle of 100 planes attracted the attention of many people.
"The Germans' planes are so powerful, could it be that Huaxia is also the experimental site of their aircraft?"
"Probably, they have trained more than a dozen divisions of soldiers for Huaxia Political Axe, and their new combat ideas have been well tempered. But the eyes of some people in our British Empire have always stayed in the trenches of the First World War! ”
"The heavy artillery fortress of the Chinese people has proven the greatness of the fortress defense, and our Maginot Line is a strong protective shield for our French Republic!"
