Chapter 1173 Flying Fox Flaps Its Wings

The deep sky, illuminated by the starry sky, presents a tranquil blue color. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe waning moon shimmered in the sky, and the wisps of light veil-like clouds slowly drifted, decorating the quiet starry night more and more beautifully.

At five o'clock in the morning, the silky morning light floated from the depths of the distant eastern waves, the shy morning glow, like the bride who stepped out of the boudoir slowly followed, the crescent moon in the sky has wandered to the horizon, the starry sky in the morning dawn at the moment, faintly fell into a deep sleep, two blue and red stars, from east to west, slowly across the beautiful sky.

Two blue and red stars were extinguished in the air dozens of kilometers away from the hazy Babutin Islands, and a silver plane without any sign appeared and disappeared in the fluttering clouds, its broad wings and huge fuselage had been dyed with the golden glow of the morning sun that followed.

In the cabin, two men in brown flight suits stared intently ahead, and with the command of the navigator behind them, they steered the plane firmly and calmly, adjusted the course, and gradually reduced the altitude.

When the white tide surging at the end of the vast sea below came into view, the pilot's eyes on the left flashed with excitement, his closed lips suddenly opened, and finally uttered a slightly trembling sentence: "Enter the target area, all ready!" ”

The navigator turned around excitedly and shouted to the rear, and the six men in the cabin moved when they heard the sound, and each took his place, and the plane lowered its altitude again to slow down and fly, and ten minutes later, finally saw the silhouette of the familiar oil tanker riding the wind and waves on the sea below.

"Target found, please confirm!"

"That's right, the bridge is at the back, and the special shape on the top of the control room is unique and very recognizable, it is indeed the 'Dingshan Maru'!"

"Preparing to drop a bomb—"

"Prepare to drop the bomb!"

On the surface of the sea, the 148-meter-long and 19-meter-wide Japanese oil tanker "Dingshan Maru" was heading northeast at a speed of 12 knots, and its huge body loaded with 12,000 tons of fuel oil broke through the undulating sea, drawing a long white line of water behind it.

On the bridge, the two crew members who had completed the shift rubbed their astringent eyes, slowed down, and bypassed the first mate, who got up early every morning to work, and suddenly heard the first mate's words full of questions, and immediately stopped, walked to the first mate's side in a few steps, and looked at the sky ahead.

"Huh!? Plane? Where did the plane come from? ”

"Is it a training aircraft of the Americans on a nearby island? Why is it so ......?"

"I've never seen an aircraft like this, flying so low, and the noise is so harsh...... Ah, it looks like the height has dropped again......"

The first mate suddenly exclaimed: "Not good! Rushing at us......"

There was a burst of screams on the bridge, there was chaos, all the emergency measures were too late, the large bombers without any signs flew lower and lower, the distance was getting closer and closer, the four propellers on the wings were clearly visible, and the unique roar of the high-horsepower aero engine pierced the eardrums.

More than ten seconds later, the large plane that was about to fly above the oil tanker opened its swarthy belly, and a series of black dots fell in the air with a huge roar, making a sharp whistling sound, and crashed into the oil tanker on the sea.

Bursts of earth-shattering explosions rang out, the 10,000-ton tanker "Dingshan Maru" was shot on the foredeck, suddenly cocked in the sky-high water column, a flame rose in the explosion, straight into the sky, the high upturned bow made a huge tearing sound, and once again crashed into the rolling sea, the entire hull trembled violently in the sky of water, and tilted helplessly on the boiling sea.

The bomber circled, turned back again, flew around the burning sea twice, then turned around and flew westward, and in the blink of an eye, it flew higher and smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the hazy sky.

......

At 7:40 a.m., Baoding Daying.

An Yi, who had not slept all night, washed his face back, took the cigarette handed by Huang Yingwu and lit the fire, took a deep breath, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and walked to the map of Nanyang marked with various dense symbols again.

Liu Qing, who was full of joy, ran to An Yi: "Commander, there is a call from southern Yunnan, after repeated confirmation, the 'Flying Dragon Plan' has been a complete success!" Aircraft Zero has flown over the sea off Sai Kung and returned according to the scheduled route. ”

When An Yi heard this, he punched the table excitedly and praised loudly: "Good! All right! I would like to reward the soldiers of the Air Sixth Regiment...... Record Now! ”

"Yes!"

The new confidential secretary Wei Changjie was taken aback.

An Yi excitedly ordered: "Give the Sixth Air Regiment a collective first-class merit, and a heavy reward of two million yuan!" promoted to the rank of colonel of the 6th Air Regiment, Major General Liu Songling, and concurrently served as the deputy chief of staff of the Southern Yunnan Joint Logistics Command; The air-ground personnel directly involved in the mission were promoted to the first level and awarded the Order of the Flying Fox, the highest honor of our army! ”

......

At 11:30 a.m., Chairman Luoyang set camp.

"What did you say?" Chiang Kai-shek's brush stopped in mid-air, his face extremely solemn.

Chen Bui put down the secret telegram and explained in a low voice: "Dai Yunong's secret telegram said that it has been confirmed again and again, and today's morning newspaper of the Shanghai Concession was published one and a half hours later than usual, and it was not published until an hour ago. In addition, officials of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai frequently visited the consuls of the United States, Britain, and France, and the intelligence officers of the Military Administration stationed in the French Consulate also promptly reported to the Shanghai Station the news that the oil tanker 'Dingshan Maru' had been bombed and sunk by unknown planes. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was extremely shocked, put down the brush, and muttered: "Niang Xipi! He kid did it, he kid really dared to do it......"

"The commission is right......"

Chen Bui looked at Chiang Kai-shek with some surprise.

Chiang Kai-shek came back to his senses and asked rather annoyedly, "Is there a telegram from An Yi's side?" ”

Chen Bui immediately understood: "Ah! Yes...... No, commission, are you saying that this was done by General An Yi's fighter plane? ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded heavily, stood up and whispered: "It's him, it's definitely him!" Last year, the Syrian Aircraft Factory developed a new type of bomber, which is equipped with only three large planes equipped with four thousand-horsepower engines, and is currently the most advanced large bomber in the world, and there are only two newly developed large transport planes in the world, the United States and Germany, which can stand shoulder to shoulder. Because one of them crashed into a mountain at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan a few months ago, killing six pilots and two American engineers, I only learned about this incident, and I thought that as An Yi said in the report, this kind of plane would be grounded, but I didn't expect him to dare to make a desperate bet.

"Alas! This An Yi is a little too bold! If one is not careful, it will lead to a conflict between China and Japan or even disputes between various countries, and all our plans will be deeply affected, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Although he was lucky to succeed this time, the chaos that was about to be caused was really difficult to predict, and the Japanese were likely to be suspicious of An Yi, because among our three aircraft factories, only An Yi's Sufu factory had the ability to design and manufacture aircraft. ”

Chen Bui asked incredulously, "Unlikely, right?" If it was really General An's doing, his plane could only take off from Syria or Yunnan Airport, and it would definitely not be able to keep it secret at other airports, but Yunnan and Syria are at least two or three thousand kilometers away from the strait north of the Philippines, and this is already the range limit of all planes at present, even if General An's plane can fly over and bomb, it will not be able to come back!

"My subordinates are suspicious, is this the British, American and French troops stationed in the South Seas doing it? Britain, the United States, and France have long been full of grief and indignation because Japan has forcibly occupied the fuel markets in North China and Shandong over the past year or so, and Britain, the United States, France, and the Netherlands have suffered huge losses. ”

"Nope! Although you are erudite and talented, your understanding of airplanes is still poor, do you remember the special plane that An Yi gave me? It is not the ordinary AN5 aircraft on the surface, but an improved version of the AN5 aircraft, with more engine power and lower fuel consumption, which is more advanced than the special plane used by An Yi himself, with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers when refueled at a time. In addition, the large transport plane newly developed by the Douglas Company of the United States has exceeded 3,600 kilometers in one way, and this is only a transport plane with two engines, so I am sure that An Yi must have done it. ”

When Chiang Kai-shek said this, he took a deep breath: "Besides, the confidential action plan submitted by An Yi some time ago includes the content of attacking Japan's sea transportation lines...... Don't be too surprised, for many years, An Yi and his father-in-law, Mr. Ou Yaoting, have been sending domestic disaster victims to various parts of Nanyang to make a living, most of them have entered rubber plantations, farms and factories in Nanyang, and have also set up marine fishing and ocean shipping companies, and the canned fish produced are being transported to strategic warehouses in southern Yunnan for storage.

"From the private security forces set up by Mr. Ou Yaoting and others, I am very suspicious that An Yi has installed his own intelligence officers among immigrants from all over Nanyang, secretly engaged in intelligence activities, and escorted his father-in-law's enterprise group, otherwise how could he have the confidence to attack the strategic transportation lines of the Japanese in the Nanyang region?"

Chen Bui was extremely shocked in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek had never told him these secrets, and he had never thought that An Yi's hand would be so long, in Chen Bui's impression, An Yi was already far-sighted and sinister and cunning enough, but he didn't expect to be cunning to such an extent and lay out such a big game in advance.

Chiang Kai-shek saw Chen Bui bowing his head and pondering, shook his head slightly and sighed, and commanded in a low voice: "Bulei, don't think about it anymore, slowly you will learn more about An Yi and the situation in southern Sichuan." This time, since An Yi intends to pretend to be stupid, we won't ask him, and it's best to hide it.

"In this way, later, you can ask the staff team to send a telegram to An Yi in my name, and ask him to assist Song Zheyuan's department to complete the exercise, and then come to see me immediately. Besides, if you call Chen Lifu and He Jinhan to me, from now on, we will collect a large amount of reports and public opinion from the Japanese and European and American countries, and we absolutely must not let the Japanese suspect us.

The Japanese have suffered such a big loss, and they must understand that their maritime transportation lines have been seriously threatened, so they will definitely not give up, and it is estimated that most of them will point the spearhead of suspicion at Europe and the United States.

"This matter is only known to you, it is classified as top secret, if there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately."

"Understood!"

Chen Bui nodded solemnly.
