Chapter 546: Overnight

When the sky was bright, the Japanese troops at Wuhan Airport were finally ready to take off, and the pilots entered the airport one after another, ready to board the plane.

Suddenly, there was a roar in the sky, and experienced pilots knew that it was a group of planes, not a few planes. The Japanese troops on the ground of the airfield began to look up one after another, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw that in the morning light in the eastern sky, dozens of black dots not much bigger than birds appeared and disappeared in the clouds. The Japanese troops at the airport were suddenly puzzled, they did not receive an order from their superiors, there were other planes to land at Wuhan Airport, the airport space was large enough, even if it was not a problem to land 100 planes, but they were not prepared at all, several runways were full of planes ready to take off, and naturally they could not land.

The Japanese did not expect that this was no longer their plane, the Chinese Air Force had already suffered casualties, and it was impossible to organize such a powerful air force, and although the distance was remote, it could be seen from the appearance and outline of the aircraft that it was a Japanese plane that flew in, so they did not think of defending at all, and even several anti-aircraft machine guns on the pillboxes were not put on guard, only the commander of the Japanese airfield hurriedly ordered the signal corps to ask the military headquarters for verification.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of planes were completely presented in the field of vision of the Japanese troops at the airport, the sun flag on the wings and fuselage was clearly visible, and the knowledgeable Japanese pilots began to shout, "Look, the escort is the Zero fighter, the Zero fighter of the Great Japanese Empire!" ”

The cheers of the Japanese troops were everywhere, and the planes in the air rumbled over the airfield, and without exception began to drop bombs, and countless light and heavy bombs fell like screaming raindrops, and in the sound of explosions that shook the ground, the entire airport instantly turned into a sea of fire, and all the planes that had just been neatly arranged were swallowed up by the fire.

?????? Wuhan, the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

The deafening explosion woke up Lieutenant General Anan Weiji, who had stayed awake all night last night, and was able to take a nap at dawn, and was still sitting in the office chair of the headquarters.

Opening his bloodshot eyes in panic, Anan Yuji ejected from his chair and exclaimed, "Where did it explode, what happened?" ”

A staff officer stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency in the report, I have just asked the military department for verification at the airport, and a group of imperial troops was found over the airport, and I asked the military department if there is a plane to land at Wuhan airport, and the chief of staff has already gone over to deal with it, and it is estimated that there will be news soon." ”

Anan Wei suddenly felt dizzy and weak, no matter how the imperial army's plane could not act without permission, something that he didn't know was definitely wrong.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Chief of Staff Kinoshita walked in quickly, the heavy expression on his face was better than that of his dead father, and he stammered: "Your Excellency, the Wuhan Airport of the Imperial Army has just been completely destroyed, and all the more than 70 planes have been bombed except for the four reconnaissance planes that have already gone on a mission. ”

"Yaga, Yaga! Why is this happening, why is this happening? Anan Wei's hands clenched into fists and flew in the air, and his face was twisted and deformed, making him look very hideous and terrifying.

The staff officers and generals in the room immediately lowered their heads, looking sincerely frightened, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, Kinoshita Yongya replied curtly: "Just before the explosion, Yamada Meiji from Jiujiang sent a telegram, they had just suffered an air attack, and it was the plane of the imperial army Jiujiang Airport that attacked them, and the plane of Jiujiang Airport had fallen into the hands of Jiang Haoran. ”

Anan Wei fell heavily on the chair, his face was dripping with cold sweat, and even his lips twitched slightly. He clearly knew that the status of the two flying brigades in the imperial army was the magic weapon for the imperial army to win, and there were only three flying brigades in the entire central China region, and two brigades were lost in his own hands, and an entire brigade fell into the hands of the enemy.

The most lethal thing is that there are still 12 Zero fighters, and the loss of hundreds of other types of aircraft alone can be bearable, but the Zero fighter is unforgivable, this is the latest cutting-edge weapon developed by the Imperial Army, it is the strategic weapon of the Great Japanese Empire to conquer the world, and it is also the capital.

After a long time, Lieutenant General Anan Weiji opened his eyes like a dead fish, looked at Kinoshita and muttered: "Report to General Nishio Shouzo in Nanjing, ask him to immediately support the Eleventh Army, and at the same time ask him to cancel my command, I am willing to bear a responsibility for this matter, and ask the military court to give me the most severe trial." ”

Anan Weiji knew very well that the planes at Jiujiang Airport had been successfully driven away by Jiang Haoran, and it was only a matter of time before Jiujiang was lost, and it was a big joke that the poor Skynet he had carefully arranged was so vulnerable in front of him. The process is no longer so important, the important thing is that once Jiujiang is lost, it is no longer a dangerous situation in Nanchang, but the retreat of the entire 10th Army will be completely cut off by the Zhina Army, if the troops of the Fifth and Ninth Theaters of the Zhina Government Army take the opportunity to attack Wuhan, Wuhan will be in danger, although the Nationalist Government has had several counter-offensive ideas in Wuhan, and even dispatched a large number of troops, but each time it has suffered countless losses and returned in vain.

The Eleventh Army, which originally had seven divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops, the Fifth Division and the Third Division were blocked in Jingdezhen, the Fourth Division was surrounded in Nanchang, and the Thirteenth Division was beaten by Jiang Haoran to the point that they could not take care of each other, and the other divisions and regiments were guarding the defense lines of Yueyang, Tongshan, Xianning, and the Yangtze River.

In the blink of an overnight moment, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Anan still couldn't figure out why the situation had turned out to be the way it was.

Jiujiang.

After dozens of fighters and bombers strafed the remnants of the Japanese army in Jiujiang, the Japanese army's psychological defense line began to collapse, its combat effectiveness plummeted, and it was defeated and retreated by the New Fourth Army and the Poyang Lake Independent Brigade, while the puppet army simply raised and surrendered. All the planes fell into Jiang Haoran's hands, where else in Jiujiang could the troops resist Jiang Haoran's attack?

At the headquarters of the 103rd Brigade of the Japanese Army in Jiujiang, the brigade commander Yamada Meiji had already burned incense and bathed, knelt in front of the portrait of the emperor on the wall, exposed his upper body, held a delicate command knife in his left hand, and held a snow-white towel in his right hand to repeatedly wipe the blade that had already been shiny.
