Chapter 1391 is a trap

At ten o'clock in the morning, the latest news about the Pudong airport of the Japanese army came:

After detailed reconnaissance by the reconnaissance squadron, it was discovered that the Japanese army had built an airfield in Zhuqiao Town, Heqing Town, and Laogang Town in Pudong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoPrior to this, the Japanese army had prepared a large number of grass-green tarpaulins in these places, and after the construction was completed at night, they used tarpaulins to cover the construction site in the morning, and from the sky, it was almost the same color as the rice fields near and far, so it was negligent.

Now after discovering the problem, the intelligence department quickly dispatched reconnaissance photos from various parts of Pudong over the past ten months, and finally discovered the secret of the Japanese army's camouflage, and there was an even more astonishing discovery, the Japanese army not only quietly built an airfield, but also built a road connecting Waigaoqiao, Chuansha, Laogang and other ports that were not known on the map before. Although most of these roads were not of high standard, it was clear that the Japanese had deliberately stored masonry, coal, and slag over the years, and now all the roads were paved with a thick layer of road, which was sufficient for cars and large-caliber heavy artillery. The Japanese army was very cunning, and all these roads were paved with thatch, and if you were not particularly careful, you would not be able to detect the Japanese soldiers' hands and feet.

At the same time, the number of Japanese fighters captured by the radar has been calculated, although it is not clear the specific type and model of the Japanese fighters, but it can basically be determined that the Japanese fighters flew directly to Shanghai after refueling on Jeju Island in the south of the Korean Peninsula, and the number of Japanese fighters is 178.

After figuring out the location of the Japanese airfield, An Yi immediately issued an order to send fighter planes to carry out a tentative attack on the Japanese airfield in Pudong, to determine the anti-aircraft artillery firepower of the Japanese airfield, the type, model and specific combat strength of the fighters, and to provide a detailed data basis for the formulation of the next combat plan.

......

And an hour ago, *** Tokyo, Hibiya Park Convention Center.

For the first time since the Lugou Bridge Incident last month, the government held a national mobilization meeting for the spirit of the national war in response to the war that took place in China.

"My emperor is prosperous, thousands of generations; gravel into rocks, covered with moss; Long-term peace and stability, the country is rich and the people are Taitai. When the music of the national anthem "Jun's Generation" played, tens of thousands of people attending the meeting sang in unison in the face of the plaster flag, which was magnificent and spectacular.

The congress was broadcast to the entire nation through the national radio station, which was formed by the merger of the three radio stations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, and was broadcast to the entire nation, and the banks, factories, shops, department stores, schools, kindergartens, and transportation companies in the country and in the colonies were all suspended from normal operation, and peasants from all over the country were guided in an orderly manner into gymnasiums, parks, squares, and other places to listen to the speeches of the principal cabinet officials and generals.

The meeting was presided over by the Minister of War of the Cabinet, General Sugiyama Moto, and Prime Minister Fumima Konoe, who had to change his stance and align himself with the Japanese Emperor, also attended the meeting and delivered a speech entitled "Carry out the Great East Asian Holy War to the End."

Today, a total of 74 representatives of civil organizations and national associations across the country, including the Imperial Soldiers' Association, the Shipbuilders' Association, the Coal Miners' Security Association, the Tram Workers' Association, the Bank Workers' Association, the Farmers' Association, the Students' Association, the Women's Support Association, the Buddhist Association, the Shinto Association, and the Monks' Association, all of them will be mobilized and agitated. Consciously and voluntarily, actively, and irrepressibly plunged into the so-called "holy war" of aggression and the Chinese people, another neighbor with a strip of water.

Facing the microphone, Fumima Konoe waved his hands and spoke impassionedly.

“...... The government of China despised our great empire, opposed Japan and Japan, killed our compatriots, caused more than 100,000 casualties to our counterinsurgency emperor's team, flew to our country by plane, bombed our people, insulted us in every way, intimidated by force, and then shot at our marines in Shanghai, causing many tragedies of separated families and broken families, and its evil deeds have reached the point of unscrupulous and outrageous.

"All this that happened during this period of time, our government has always been compassionate, could not bear to expand the situation, and under the communication of friendly countries, tried its best to reconcile with the government of China, but the government of China did not repent, but instead mobilized heavy troops, conspired to frame them, and successively caused our navy's aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers to be sunk or plundered, and what is particularly serious is that its government not only openly sent troops to confront the government, but also insulted the sacred glory of our eternal Emperor in daily life and entertainment...... See, this is a kind of playing card that is prevalent in the Chinese army, and my Majesty the Emperor has been deliberately scandalized by him, how can the people of my empire tolerate it? ”

A pair of poker issued by the deputy An Jiajun was passed in the hands of the people at the venue, and soon the angry voice of denunciation broke out with overwhelming momentum, at this time, the national feelings and self-esteem of the people were seriously injured by the shameful enemy on the continent across the strait, and they were filled with righteous indignation and anger.

In the eyes of the people, no matter where there is a war against the people of the empire, it is a serious violation and challenge to the interests of the people of the entire empire, especially an insult to the emperor, and it is an intolerable atrocity!

"Punish the tyrannical China army and the Nanjing government, and repay the blood debt to the rude and barbaric Chinans, the emperor is invincible, and the glory of the emperor of the Great *** Empire will surely shine on all the lands under the sun!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress, who are admired by all the people!"

"We will never compromise and vow to carry out the Great East Asian Holy War to the end!"

"Resolutely support the establishment of His Majesty the Emperor as the co-ruler of East Asia!"

The arrogant clamor was transmitted through radio broadcasting to the mountains and rivers of the archipelago and its colonies, to the gymnasiums, parks, squares and other places distributed in the cities and villages, and to thousands of ordinary families. With tears of emotion in their eyes, people listened to the voices coming from the capital city of Tokyo, where His Majesty the Holy Emperor resides.

Originally, because of the low morale brought about by the bombing of the Southwest Air Force, it was swept away, and all the people were inspired by the anger, and the war machine of the whole country was thoroughly mobilized.

......

Twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Twenty bombers of the 10th and 11th squadrons of the 2nd Squadron of the Southwest Air Force, under the protection of the A26 fighters of the two squadrons, slaughtered the Japanese airfield in Laogang Town, Pudong.

"Warning: Three groups of Japanese fighters have taken off! Warning: Three groups of Japanese fighters have taken off! According to high-altitude observations, the Japanese fighters include the latest KI43 Nakajima-Ichi fighter -- this aircraft has been named the Hayabusa fighter by the Army Department on the 8th of this month. ”

The voice of Lieutenant Colonel Li Tinglin, squadron leader of the reconnaissance plane, was heard on the airborne radio.

"Hell, how did the Japanese know we were going to bomb their airfield?" Captain Peter Liang, the pilot of the 10th Squadron, asked in surprise.

"The situation is unclear now...... Note: Japanese fighters are still rising into the air, according to visual inspection, the Japanese fighters include the Ki27 Nakajima 97 fighter, the Kawasaki 95 biplane fighter, this should be the last batch of old fighters produced by the first use of its aircraft production line, with the Ki43 Hayabusa fighter production line to increase production, the main fighters of the Air Force after the *** must be Falcon...... Now a new biplane fighter has been found that has never appeared in the Japanese combat sequence, judging from the appearance, it should be an Italian Fiat CR.32 fighter. I'm sure you know a lot about the performance of this fighter when you take a tactical class, so I won't talk nonsense.

"One final word of warning: we have lost the suddenness of the attack, and the commander of this operation is asked to think carefully about the tactics. Debriefing is over! ”

Li Tinglin's voice fell, and Colonel Liu Yuxi, deputy of the 2nd Air Regiment, who commanded the operation, gave an order to the microphone:

"Attention Squadron 7 and 8, your task is to attract and entangle the Japanese fighter group and create conditions for bomber bombing. Remember, although the Hayabusa fighter is very powerful, but there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, the dive performance is insufficient, we now try to climb the altitude, and strive to climb to an altitude of 8,000 meters when we reach the sky above the Japanese airfield, and then the fighters dive down first, attack the Japanese fighter group, and wait for the Japanese army to calculate, and then the bomber squadron will be dispatched, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Roger!"

A rambling reply came.

Ten minutes later, the group flew over downtown Shanghai.

"All attention, I am above you, the group of planes has turned its course uniformly, 45 degrees to the right, and the Japanese airfield is in front." The radio again heard a call from Lieutenant Colonel Li Tinglin, squadron leader of the reconnaissance plane and navigator of this operation.

Colonel Liu Yuxi said into the microphone: "Understood, the course is 45 degrees to the right." Immediately piloting the A26 fighter, he shook his wings a few times and quickly adjusted to a new course.

Lieutenant Colonel Li Tinglin's voice continued: "Now the cloud height above Pudong is 4,000 meters, and the Japanese fighter group is hiding under the clouds and is waiting for it, our reconnaissance aircraft squadron will closely monitor the airspace of the engagement, good luck to the brothers!" ”

The pilots were awe-struck in their hearts, and they swung their wings one after another to adjust the state of the fighter.

"Action!"

With Liu Yuxi's order, 20 A26 fighters roared and dived downward, and the bomber group circled in the air, waiting for orders at any time, rushing out of the clouds at the most appropriate time to launch intensive bombing of the Japanese airfield.

Breaking through the clouds and appearing in front of the A26 fighter group, there were dense Japanese fighters waiting for them. At the moment when the silver-gray fighter plane appeared, the Japanese fighter plane also quickly maneuvered, like a pebble falling into the calm water, quickly bringing up a circle of ripples.

Despite the timely evasion, three thin-skinned Japanese fighters still exploded in volleys, and the surrounding aircraft swarms pounced on the A26 fighters that suddenly appeared like sharks smelling blood. The afterimages of tracer bullets in the air flashed continuously, and the sound of aviation machine guns and machine barrels was heard incessantly.

According to the established tactics, hit and run, never love to fight, so the A26 fighter group continued to roar and dive towards a low altitude.

The combat experience of the air force is also accumulating in the battle, in this game of waiting for the rabbit, the Japanese fighters have a very good sense of hierarchy, twenty A26 fighters in the process of descending, constantly suffered from the artillery fire of the Japanese fighters at different altitudes, when they dive to an altitude of 1,500 meters, the Japanese six Falcon fighters were already waiting there, an A26 fighter could not dodge, was hit on the right wing, billowing smoke, immediately pulled down the altitude again, to 1,000 meters when suddenly turned to the west, full speed withdraw, The long smoke dragged on the wings was shocking.

Liu Yuxi was worried for a while, every pilot is a valuable asset, and he hoped that the pilot of the 7th Squadron, named Wang Hua, would be able to safely fly the fighter back to Taicang Airport, which was the closest to the airspace of the battle.

The air combat has suddenly escalated, and the two fighters with completely different specialties of China and Japan, which have little difference in performance, are entangled together, the A26 has thick skin and strong firepower, while the Ki43 is extremely dexterous, with a very small turning radius, and can make all kinds of incredible grappling actions in a very narrow space.

For a time, the fighters in the air were churning, and the Japanese pilots, relying on the good work of the fighters, avoided the machine guns and aviation machine gun bullets fired by the A26 fighters at critical moments, and suddenly went around the side or back of the A26 fighters to shoot accurately.

At this time, the wing of another A26 fighter was broken, and it staggered and struggled to get out of the battlefield, and the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns under the combat airspace fired intensively, and suddenly the fighter exploded in volley, bursting into brilliant fireworks in the air.

"Yu II—"

Liu Yuxi screamed sadly, tears gushing out of his eyes.

The pilot of the fighter plane just now was Huang Yuer, the second brother of Air Force Commander Huang Yuyi. The old man of the Huang family has no culture, and he has four sons under his knees, ranking the word "Yu", so he named them Huang Yuyi, Huang Yu, Huang Yu, Huang Yu, Huang Yu,

"No! We can't let our air force be consumed in this trap carefully laid by the Japanese army. Looking at the still orderly air strike group of the Japanese army, and then looking at the dense rain of bullets constantly sprayed by the underground Japanese anti-aircraft artillery, Liu Yuxi decisively ordered:

"The 10th and 11th squadrons, cancel this bombing operation and return immediately! Repeat, 10th and 11th squadrons, cancel this bombing operation and return immediately! Seventh and eighth squadrons, seek an opportunity to withdraw from the battle! Repeat, 7th and 8th squadrons, seek an opportunity to withdraw from the battle! ”

"Received—"

"Understood—"

Hearing the reply on the airborne radio, Liu Yuxi felt a little relieved, dodged the bullets fired by the fighters on both sides in time, found a gap in the rain of bullets and the blockade of the Japanese fighters, and rushed over like lightning.

The two Japanese fighters could not dodge and collided together, dragging long plumes of smoke and whimpering and falling to the ground with a loud explosion.

Seeing that there were no fighters chasing behind him, Liu Yuxi gasped slightly, and said into the microphone: "The situation is not right, the Japanese army has studied our tactics very thoroughly, and there are fighters waiting for them at almost all heights under the clouds. All personnel should not fall in love with the battle, pay attention to making full use of the thickness of the mecha of our fighters, reasonably evade them, and quickly withdraw from the airspace of the engagement.

"The 1st Air Regiment has already taken off and is rushing to the downtown area of Shanghai, so we will immediately go to the northern airspace to join the 1st Air Regiment, and then decide to attack and defend according to the actual situation."

"Yes—"
