At this time, the little devil was actually not idle.
He Zhongji had already noticed something was wrong.
The adjutant walked in and said to Commander Zhongji: "Your Excellency, Commander, would you like to have something to eat first?"
"I'm not hungry." He Zhongji subconsciously shook his head. The Type 008 Type 96 long-range bomber stolen by Langya was still missing. How could he be in the mood to eat
You know, the entire Third Flight Regiment only has a total of sixteen Type 96 long-range bombers.
For the Imperial Japanese Army, this kind of bomber with a range of more than 4,000 kilometers is definitely a strategic-level weapon, and the loss of each one is an unbearable burden.
If this Type 96 long-range bomber eventually falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be even more serious!
Although Takehara, the captain of the Shion Airport Guards, had committed seppuku and committed suicide, from a legal perspective, the plane crash incident had been resolved. However, legal principles are one thing, but the actual situation is another.
If this stolen Type 96 long-range bomber cannot be found and recaptured or shot down, then Commander Tokugawa Yoshitoshi will definitely be rated as incompetent!
He Zhongji still wants to continue to climb up, but he doesn't want to be judged as incompetent.
At that moment, He Zhongji cheered up and said, "Ogasawara-san, bring me the navigation chart."
"Hai." Adjutant Ogasawara paused heavily, then walked to the side and took out the aviation map of the Central China Air Force Aviation Corps, and spread it out on the table.
The aeronautical map is different from the operational map of the Sixth Army.
The operational map of the Sixth Army is an all-terrain map. Mountains, rivers, lakes, roads, railways, and bridges must all be clearly marked. However, aviation maps are not that complicated. They only need to mark flight routes and roads and plains suitable for emergency landings.
Adjutant Ogasawara said: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you suspect that the Type 96 long-range bomber hijacked by Langya did not return to Damei Mountain, but made an emergency landing on a road outside Damei Mountain? Or on a certain plain. ?”
He Zhongzhi looked up at the sky outside the window, shook his head and said: "It's still dark, and without ground guidance, forcing an emergency landing at night is courting death! So I'm sure that the aircraft hijacked by Langya The Type 96 long-range bomber should still be circling somewhere in the airspace and has not landed!"
"Hai." Adjutant Ogasawara paused deeply, convinced.
Crash landing in the wild is inherently a very dangerous move, because all it takes is a small accident during the crash landing, and the result is an immediate crash and death! For example, if a tree or a small ditch appears in the taxiing direction, it will cause the aircraft to roll over.
If it's a small plane, that's not a big problem.
But if it is a large aircraft, the consequences will be serious. Because the inertia of a large aircraft is very large, it can easily cause serious physical damage to the crew during the collision and rollover process. If a fire breaks out during the collision and rollover, the consequences will be even more terrible. The remaining fuel will ignite and explode, and the entire large aircraft will turn into a huge fireball in an instant.
An emergency landing in the wild is already very dangerous, and an emergency landing at night is even more dangerous.
Because it's dark at night, the crew can't see the ground clearly. You don't know whether it's flat land, a hillside, or a lake. If you forcefully land like this recklessly, you're just looking for death!
Therefore, Adjutant Ogasawara believed that Commander Tadashi Hega's judgment was reliable.
The Type 96 long-range bomber that was hijacked by Langya must be hovering in some airspace at this moment. I just don’t know where the Type 96 long-range bomber is hovering in the airspace
Thinking in his mind, Ogasawara asked his question: "But, Commander, where will this Type 96 long-range bomber hover in the airspace?"
He Zhongzhi smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "At present, the area controlled by the Dameishan Independent Regiment, except Dameishan District, is also the peripheral Pucheng, Shanxian, and Guanxian counties. Since there are no targets in the airspace of Dameishan, then, Unit 008, which was hijacked by Langya, must be hovering in the airspace somewhere in the three surrounding counties."
After a pause at this point, Shiga Tadashi said again: "Order."
Ogasawara immediately stepped forward and said with a heavy pause: "Hai."
He Zhongzhi narrowed his eyes while staring at the aviation map and said in a ferocious voice: "Each reconnaissance aircraft unit, immediately expand the peripheral search area and focus on searching Guanxian County northeast of Damei Mountain District!"
"Hai!" Ogasawara paused again and walked away.
(Dividing line)
Guan County, Jinjiaji.
Wang Husheng is personally leading the team, racing against time to dig tunnels.
After the last meeting, the entire Dameishan base area immediately started moving. In order to dig out a huge tunnel network within twenty days, Wang Husheng mobilized more than 150,000 laborers. In addition to workers and students in the industrial zone, almost everyone in the base area All the strong laborers were mobilized.
Wang Husheng himself led 50,000 people to Guanxian County, and cooperated with the militia organizations of Guanxian County to dig tunnels in various townships, towns and villages, and personally stayed in Jinjiaji to dig tunnels.
Because he was busy until midnight last night, Wang Husheng slept relatively deeply today.
In a daze, Wang Husheng heard his guard calling, and immediately turned over and sat up. While looking for his glasses, he asked, "Xiao Li, what's wrong?"
Guard Xiao Li took the glasses and handed them to Wang Husheng, and whispered: "Political Commissar, there is something wrong."
"Is there something going on?" Wang Husheng put on his glasses and frowned, "Are there any Japanese sneak attacks?"
"That's not true." Xiao Li shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Political Commissar, I can't tell. You'd better go outside and listen for yourself."
"Listen to this?" Wang Husheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. What do you mean? By listening
But soon, Wang Husheng understood what the guard Xiao Li meant.
After hurriedly getting dressed and hurried out of the door, Wang Husheng immediately heard the faint roar of an airplane engine. Moreover, as time went by, the roar got closer and closer, and became louder and louder. In the end, it was almost It flew over their heads.
"Is this a Japanese bomber?" Wang Husheng realized that this was not a fighter jet, but a large bomber. Because the roar of the aircraft engine was different, his face became a little weird and he said, "The little Japanese really spends a lot of money." , just to stop us from digging tunnels, they actually sent bombers to bomb? What's the matter?"
Guard Xiao Li said, "Political commissar, there is something fishy about this kid's plane."
"Something strange?" Wang Husheng tried his best to open his eyes wide, trying to see the plane in the sky clearly.
However, because the sky was too dark, even if Wang Husheng opened his eyes wide, he could not see even the outline of the plane in the pitch-black sky. He then asked: "What's weird?"
Guard Xiao Li said: "This plane has been circling this area for several hours."
"What did you say? Have you been circling for several hours?" Wang Husheng's face immediately darkened and he said unhappily, "Why are you reporting it now?"
Xiao Li scratched his head and said: "We didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that the Japanese plane was just passing by, because the Japanese plane never wastes bombs in a small village like Jinjiaji, so everyone didn't take it seriously. It's the same thing, but who would have thought that this plane would keep circling and never leave."
"If you put it that way, there is something really fishy about this matter." Wang Husheng was also confused, and then frowned and said, "Are the bombers of the Japs idle? They have been hovering over Jinjiaji without dropping bombs? Could it be that they are in the sky? Do you want to conduct reconnaissance? You don’t need to fly a big plane to conduct reconnaissance, right? Besides, it’s late at night, how about just doing reconnaissance?”
"Wool?" Security guard Xiao Ligang had not been with Wang Husheng for a long time, so he didn't quite understand.
Wang Husheng snorted and said, "This is a mantra that your commander often talks about. I was also influenced by him without knowing it. It's true."
Guard Xiao Li said "oh" and asked again: "Political Commissar, what do you think is going on with this plane?"
Wang Husheng frowned and thought for a moment, then ordered: "In this case, go and find Xiao Zhao for me immediately."
Xiao Zhao is a section chief of the communications office of the Dameishan Military Division. This time he personally led a communications team and followed Wang Husheng to Guanxian County so that Wang Husheng could contact the base area at any time and guide the work of the base area. After all, Wang Husheng was the political commissar of the military division. , you can’t just leave and ignore everything.
After Xiao Zhao arrived, Wang Husheng immediately asked him to try to contact Nanjing Teji.
That night, the comrades of the Nanjing Special Committee also stayed up all night, trying desperately to inquire and collect specific details about the bombing of the Caochangmen arsenal and the sneak attack on Ziyuan Airport by Langya. Therefore, Xiao Zhao quickly contacted Nanjing Special Committee and obtained first-hand information.
"Political commissar." Xiao Zhao took off his earphones and said excitedly, "The situation is very clear. The Langya team attacked Nanjing Ziyuan Airport, hijacked a Japanese bomber from the airport, and used this bomber to bomb Caochangmen. Arsenal! The 5,000 tons of arms prepared by the little devils to wipe out our Dameishan Army have all been destroyed!"
"Really? So Lao Xu has done it! Haha, Lao Xu is really good!" Wang Husheng banged his head in excitement, and then he looked up at the sky and said, "By the way, if you say so, there is something happening right above our heads." The large plane circling on board is most likely the bomber that Lao Xu hijacked!"
Security guard Xiao Li and communications section chief Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly when they heard this.
"Quick, quick! Follow me to find a flat open space!" Wang Husheng slapped himself hard in the mouth and said in annoyance, "Old Xu has been hovering in the sky for so long to remind me to find a place. It was an open area for him to land, but I was so ignorant that I let him hover in the sky for so long, I really deserve to die."
"Political commissar." Xiao Li asked blankly, "How do you know it must be the commander in the sky?"
"You idiot, do you even need to ask this?" In desperation, Wang Husheng said another one of Xu Rui's catchphrases, then lightly slapped himself in the face and said, "In our base area, except for the dozen or so pilots in the flight company, there are only Lao Xu and the veterans can fly. Now the flight company is at home and the veterans have gone to Feicheng. Who else can fly this bomber besides Lao Xu?"
"It seems so." Xiao Li suddenly realized. (To be continued.)
