my bright sword career

Chapter 458 Fly away
"Ring Ling..."

A burst of rapid phone ringing rang in the office of Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi. Yoshio Iwamatsu, who was buried in reviewing documents, picked up the phone in his notes, "Moses, I'm Yoshio Iwasatsu."

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 21st Reconnaissance Squadron reported that a Type 98 reconnaissance plane of theirs was attacked by a China fighter plane two hours ago during a routine reconnaissance of Liantai County, and then the fighter plane lost contact and is probably destroyed. . " Team 21 Captain Xiang Shan and Saburo Commander reported in a hasty tone.

"Then, did you call just to tell me such a trivial matter?"

After hearing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu became angry. A reconnaissance plane was shot down while performing a mission. This is really not good news, but he is a commander in charge of an army of [-]. The little things about the plane will bother him, so is there anything else he can do?
"No, Your Excellency, Commander."

Xiang Shan and Saburo were in a hurry. After Fujino Shigeharu, the captain of the 21st Flying Squadron, died in battle last year, he took over the position of the captain of the 21st Flying Squadron.

At first I thought it was a good job, but I didn’t expect to find out what kind of mess I had taken after I came to Shanxi. It can be said that if you choose any army aviation unit stationed in China, who is the most aggrieved, it is the 21st Flying Team.

The other army aviation units in China are not so beautiful, they can blow up whoever they want, and they can fly as they like in the huge sky, but Shanxi can't do it. This place seems to be cursed by the Chinese people. So far, there have been No less than [-] planes including the third flight group were lost in this ghost place.

Such a huge loss, not to mention the First Army, now even the local commander-in-chief shakes his head when he mentions Shanxi. Many people even say that Shanxi is the cemetery of the imperial army, and the cause is the Taiwan-linked flying corps.

When he first received the appointment, Xiangshan and Saburo were still ambitiously planning how to eliminate the Liantai Flying Corps, but when he came to Taiyuan, he realized how bad the situation was.

The 21st Flying Team, which used to be strong and strong, now has less than sixty aircraft, most of which are old Type [-] fighters and a small number of Type [-] fighters, and there is not even a single most advanced Type [-] fighter.

The reason is also very simple. Over the past year, the 21st Flying Team has suffered continuous loss of troops, and even the captain has lost one of them. In the words of the masters in the base camp, even giving them the most advanced fighter jets is still a gift. , might as well distribute it where it is most needed.

The fighter planes are old, but the most terrible thing is that more than half of the pilots in the flight team are rookies who have just graduated from the flight academy. The planes are worn out, and Xiang Shan and Saburo feel so miserable.

If a different person encountered this situation, he might just lie flat, but Xiangshan and Sanlang are ambitious people. He was unwilling to live in Shanxi for the elderly. He saw that the Sixth Division and the 108th Division began to attack Liantai County. After that, he immediately realized that his opportunity had come.

These days, he sent out all six reconnaissance planes in his hand. These planes kept wandering around in Shanxi, in order to detect the mobilization of the Chinese army in Shanxi in the first place.

Hard work pays off, just now he finally received a piece of useful information.

Listening to the roar on the other end of the phone, Xiang Shan and Saburo swallowed their saliva: "Your Excellency, although the reconnaissance plane may have been destroyed, they sent very useful information at the last moment."

"What information?" Yoshio Iwamatsu was startled. If major changes in Shanxi lead to an uncontrollable festering of the situation, he, the commander, would definitely be overwhelmed. His predecessor, Yoshio Shinozuka, was a good example.

"The reconnaissance plane sent information that they found the whereabouts of a large Chinese army about [-] kilometers east of Liantai County, and the direction of that army was Liantai County."

"Nani?" Yoshio Iwamatsu stood up immediately, "Is the situation true?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, in order to confirm the authenticity of the information, I immediately sent out all the reconnaissance planes on hand, and finally confirmed the result. An Eighth Route Army with a strength of about [-] people is marching rapidly towards Liantai County. , and is expected to arrive in Liantai County in two days."

"bump."

As soon as Xiang Shan and Saburo finished speaking, they heard the sound of something falling from the microphone.

"Is this absolutely impossible?" Yoshio Iwamatsu's voice was full of surprise, panic, disbelief and fear.

"Haven't the Eighth Route Army of China been divided and surrounded by the army sent by Commander Gangcun, and then firmly besieged in various parts of North China? How did they gather such a huge force?"

"Your Excellency, this is beyond what I can know." There was a hint of bitterness in Xiang Shan and Saburo's voices, "The biggest problem now is how we should deal with this new situation."

"Baga, how can these damned Tubalu give me so many problems?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was in a bad mood. He was very happy when he received the notification from the North China Command that the Sixth Division and the 108th Division came to Shanxi to wipe out the Liantai militia.

If this matter is successful, it will be able to eliminate the serious trouble of the Liantai militia for him. Even if it fails, it has nothing to do with him. After all, the Sixth Division and the 108th Division are not under his command. He only needs to do a good job in logistics. It is enough to work and encircle and suppress the Tuba Road in various places.

But now the situation has changed suddenly. As the commander of the First Army, he is too aware of the dangers of Gao Hongming. Originally, when he only had ten thousand people on hand, he made the whole of Shanxi restless. Wan's Eighth Route Army, the whole of Shanxi can be overthrown by him.

"No, I have to report to Commander Gangcun immediately."

At the No. [-] base of the Liantai Flying Corps, Lu Dayou, who had his leg re-implanted with plaster by the doctor at the base, was lying comfortably on the camp bed beside the lawn with a bottle of beer in his left hand. I used to take a sip from time to time while playing cards, the taste is not to mention how enjoyable it is.

It's just that his appearance has been collectively hated by other pilots.

"I said, Lao Lu, can you go back to your dormitory and drink again, do you know that you look like you deserve a beating?"

"Come on!" Lu Dayou pointed to his right leg fearlessly, "You hit here, and if you break this plaster cast, I will be able to fly a plane to the sky tomorrow to beat devils."

"Fuck... this kid is so stupid." The surrounding pilots laughed and cursed.

While the pilots were having fun, the harsh sirens rang through the airport. The pilots who were playing were slightly taken aback, and then they all dropped the cards in their hands and rushed towards the runway.
