Chapter 588: Interception
Chapter 588 Interception and Killing
The straight-line distance from Jinan to Xi'an is more than 780 kilometers, and Liu Yimin took the Nakajima Ki-34 -- Army "97" transport plane seized from Xuzhou Airport, which has 2 to 8 people and a maximum speed of 360 kilometers per hour, and can reach Xi'an in more than two hours under normal circumstances. According to the plan of the aviation brigade, the plane took off from Jinan at four o'clock and arrived at the temporary airport in Xi'an at about 7 o'clock.
The aviation brigade received an order that Liu Yimin would take Tang Xingying's mother and son and Ni Hua back to Xi'an together, so they sent a transport plane. If only I had known that Liu Yimin was going alone, it would have been nice to send a light bomber, the speed would have been a little faster, and it would have combat capability.
Before the plane took off, the captain took out a parachute and told Liu Yimin, Li Chengyi, and Lu Wen how to parachute and how to save themselves after parachuting. As a result, Li Chengyi and Lu Wen told the captain that they had already learned it when they were in Dadian and did not need to teach it anymore.
After the plane took off, Liu Yimin's mood was slightly better, knowing that Tang Xingying, Lin Yueqin, and Ren Ying were not to blame for making trouble with him, it was his own fault, and this thing was too inauthentic.
Li Chengyi, the head of the accompanying guard regiment, saw that Liu Yimin was in a bad mood and did not dare to say much, but simply reported the names of the crew members who carried out the flight mission and the names of the fighter pilots who carried out the escort mission, and then handed Liu Yimin's sidearm to him.
Liu Yimin checked it and saw that the chambers of the Bayi automatic rifle magazine and sniper rifle were full, and the magazines of the two shell guns were also full, and in addition to bullets, there were binoculars, compasses, and maps in the canvas backpack.
Originally, I wanted to criticize Li Chengyi for a few words, why didn't he bring the loot, and went back empty-handed to see the chiefs, how did he speak, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, because he was dizzy from Tang Xingying's crying, and he didn't explain, Li Chengyi They must have seen that they were in a bad mood, and they didn't know if they could set off today, so they didn't prepare.
Lu Wen, deputy director of the division's radio station, who accompanied him, reported that he could contact the central authorities, the general headquarters, and the division headquarters at any time through the airborne radio, and that the division commander could not hesitate to give instructions to him.
Lu Wen turned out to be a newspaper operator at the base of Zhang Liang of the 16th Division of the Hunan Army and an underground party member. He returned to the Red Army during the Battle of Xiaoshui, and was a special hero during the Red Eighteenth Regiment, and now he has become the deputy director of the instructor radio station and He Xinghua's right-hand man.
Liu Yimin told Lu Wen that it was enough to keep in touch with the airport, and not to send more telegrams to avoid being detected by the Japanese army.
After explaining, Liu Yimin began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Li Chengyi has been serving as Liu Yimin's guard for several years, from the commander of the guard platoon to the head of the guard regiment, and the habit he has developed is to stare wide-eyed and observe the surrounding situation. Although it was his first time to take a plane, his eyes were still wide, looking at the stars in the sky, and he kept thinking in his heart, whether the heavenly palace that he heard the old people talk about when he was a child was on these stars, if the plane could fly a little higher, would he be able to see the palace in the sky? Will those fairy old men hold the elixir and jade liquid to make themselves full? If only I could marry a fairy in the sky, it would be even more beautiful, and this life would not be in vain.
Thinking of the fairy, Li Chengyi couldn't help but glance at Liu Yimin's face, feeling that the teacher was too powerful, Ni Hua, Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing, and the new female reporter Huang Wei of Wen Wei Po, which one is not the same as a fairy in the sky? The teachers were all married and had two sons, and the girls were all blushing when they saw him, crying and shouting and chasing after him to marry him. These girls, if others let them take a second look, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep for half a year. Look at our teacher, which station to go, all the beauties will be collected
Thinking about it, Li Chengyi felt that Tang Xingying and Ni Hua were a little annoying, they were already the teachers of the division, why did they have to fight for you without me, with me without you? What's wrong with living in a daze, the whole world knows that the division commander has two wives, who can not admit it? It's okay now, it's annoying the division commander, right? I won't take you back to Xi'an, right? Two stupid girls, who don't know the blessing in the midst of blessing, don't they know that Zhao Xiaoman, Jingjing and the newcomer Huang Wei are waiting stupidly on the side? You dare to let it go, if you don't regret crying every night, even if I, Li Chengyi, am blind.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengyi couldn't help but laugh, the teacher is so godly, he can even count what the little devil wants, can he still be uneven Ni Hua and Tang Xingying? annoyed the division commander, ignored them, and saw if they were still making trouble.
Counting the stars in the sky along the way, I was still thinking about Liu Yimin in my heart, and I unconsciously felt that there was a slight invention outside the window.
At this time, an accident happened, and the captain shouted "enemy attack", and the plane began to jolt up and down.
Li Chengyi was taken aback and hurriedly woke up Liu Yimin.
After receiving Sakura's order, Terauchi Shou was overjoyed, and after only one glance, he ordered the staff officer on duty to find Lieutenant General Kinoshita Toshita, commander of the North China Front Air Group, and he himself left Miss Masako's hot bed, draped it neatly, and went to the office.
When Kinoshita Toshitoshi arrived, Shouichi Terauchi had an evil smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth flowed, and he was imagining how to launch an offensive battle and level Shandong in one fell swoop after intercepting and killing Liu Yimin.
After Kinoshita Toshitoshi reported, Terauchi Shouichi patted him on the shoulder and said viciously: "Kinoshita-kun, your chance for revenge has come, and the opportunity for all the aviation of the Great Japanese Army and Navy to take revenge has come." Liu Yimin appeared, and the outstanding agents of the Japanese Empire found him to return to Xi'an by plane. This time, if you let Liu Yimin escape again, you will directly apologize to the emperor by caesarean section."
Kinoshita Min hurriedly took the telegram sent by Sakura, read it carefully, and immediately reported to Terauchi Shouichi: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander, this time Liu Yimin is dead." I'll go back and deploy immediately, please wait for the good news, Your Excellency, Commander" After speaking, without waiting for Terauchi Shou to speak, Kinoshita Toshi ran away in a hurry.
Looking at Kinoshita's hurried figure, Shouichi Terauchi couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he didn't go back to sleep anymore, and began to ponder the map.
After pondering for a while, Shouichi Terauchi suddenly remembered, what if Liu Yimin parachuted? What if Liu Yimin's landline was forced to land successfully?
Terauchi Shouichi immediately ordered the chief of staff, Yamashita Fumifumi, to send an urgent telegram to the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro, ordering him to immediately mobilize all units of the First Army, staring at the sky with wide eyes, and killing them immediately if they found that the planes of the Eighth Route Army had landed or the personnel had parachuted. Umezu Mijiro was asked to make it clear to all units that the imperial fighters were intercepting and killing Liu Yimin, and that if Liu Yimin was found to be parachuting, he should quickly surround the parachute jumping site and be sure to capture or kill Liu Yimin alive.
If you want to talk about the person who hates Liu Yimin the most in the world, Kinoshita Min can definitely be ranked in the top few, he and his North China Front Aviation Group have suffered too many losses from the Eighth Route Army, and it is too big. Counting the flying regiments under him, the personnel have almost changed two or three times, and the culprit is Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army. If Liu Yimin had not attacked and occupied Taiyuan, it would have been impossible for the Eighth Route Army to have planes, let alone sneak attacks on his airfield several times. Now, the cunning Liu Yimin left the ground and lifted into the air and sent it to the door, this time, Kinoshita Min is determined to kill Liu Yimin.
Standing in front of the aeronautical chart in the war room of the North China Aviation Group Headquarters, Kinoshita was full of ambition. He now has capital, the Second Flying Regiment has been transferred from the Kwantung Army, and the fighter flight regiment that returned with General Terauchi Shouichi is also under his command, and with the original flight team, the strength of the North China Front Air Group has exceeded any period since its formation. Except for the lost airfields in Shandong, other airfields in North China were full of fighters, waiting for orders to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army Air Force.
Kinoshita Min issued a series of murderous orders, and as a result, all the Japanese fighter planes at the airfields in Shanxi, northern Henan, and Hebei were mobilized, and even the Japanese fighter formations at the Beiping, Tianjin, and Shanhaiguan airfields received an urgent order: take off immediately, refuel at Shijiazhuang and Taiyuan airfields, and participate in the battle to intercept and kill Liu Yimin, the instructor and division commander of the Eighth Route Army.
In order to prevent Liu Yimin's formation from escaping, Kinoshita Min drew up a complete operational plan, dividing the Japanese planes into squadron formations, two squadrons in groups, dividing defensive areas, strictly guarding against stubborn defense, and blocking the route of Liu Yimin's special plane formation to flee west to Xi'an and east to Shandong.
Everything is ready, just wait for Liu Yimin's special plane formation to appear.
The escort mission of Liu Yimin's special plane was carried out by four fighters of the No. 1 Fighter Squadron of the First Aviation Brigade. Squadron Leader Wu Le, who was also one of the first batch of trainees who followed David to attack the major airfields of the Japanese army in North China after the attack on Taiyuan, was the backbone pilot of the First Air Brigade of the Eighth Route Army with the longest flight time and the most rich combat experience.
Receiving the task of escorting Liu Yimin back to Xi'an, Wu Le was very excited. Think about it, the Eighth Route Army Aviation was set up by Liu Yimin's order, and every fighter plane was captured by his command, and Liu Yimin is a well-deserved founder of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Corps. Feng Dafei and Chang Qiankun often told the pilots that General Liu Yimin, the legendary hero of our army, was the real commander of the Eighth Route Army's air force, and his orders were to be carried out to the letter at the cost of his own life. Being able to escort his commander, Wu Le has a sense of pride in his heart.
When he found out that he was intercepted by a Japanese plane, Wu Le's brain exploded: "The little devil knows the division commander's take-off time, and he wants to intercept and kill the division commander."
Wu Le ordered loudly through the throat transmitter: "I am Wu Le, all of them, the fighter planes seize the position, intercept the Japanese plane, and cover the No. 1 breakthrough"
After giving the order, Wu Le led the fighter jets and rushed towards the Japanese plane.
Liu Yimin was indeed closing his eyes at first, but he fell asleep after a long time. In his sleep, it seems that he is back in his home before the crossing, with red Fuji freshly plucked from the apple tree in the yard on the coffee table, and his mother is sitting on the sofa peeling apples for him. Liu Yimin couldn't wait, picked up the red apple on the table and took a bite, the sweet juice overflowed so that the corners of his mouth were white, which made his mother angry for a while, saying that he couldn't even wait for the apple to be peeled, and he was so anxious, if he married his daughter-in-law in the future, he might have a conflict with his daughter-in-law, so what should I do?
Liu Yimin smiled and said that if you find a good-tempered daughter-in-law, won't you get married?
The mother said that they are all only children now, and the girls are very pampered, and it is more difficult to find a good-tempered daughter-in-law than to find a tiger
Liu Yimin still smiled, didn't answer his mother's words, and ate the apple in a big gulp.
As soon as the picture turned, it seemed that he had arrived at home in Xi'an, and his mother-in-law Li Yun was holding He'er, who had just passed the full moon, and looked at him unwillingly, blaming him for being busy with work and not caring for his family, and not even coming back for such a big thing as Tang Xingying's birth, others didn't know, and they still thought that their daughter was abandoned
was dreaming, he was woken up by Li Chengyi, and when he opened his eyes, there were bright lights outside the small window, and Liu Yimin knew that it was not the sun's rays, but the rays drawn by bullets and shells fired by Japanese aircraft.
My heart was excited, **I met the Japanese machine. Unexpectedly, the encounter of Yamamoto Fifty-six in history fell on his head, and these Japanese planes must have received accurate information, and they ambushed here in advance to intercept and kill themselves
Little devil, you can do this trick
Liu Yimin's mind was in a flash, and he saw the captain turn around and shout loudly: "Report to the division commander, when the Japanese plane was ambushed, the fighter plane had already rushed up to cover the special plane to break through." Please indicate"
Liu Yimin sighed and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the number of Japanese machines?" ”
The captain shouted: "The fighter leader reported that there were now at least twenty-four Japanese fighters and ordered us to break through quickly. ”
Liu Yimin looked at the slightly invented sky outside the window, and asked, "Where are you now?" ”
The captain shouted: "It should have crossed the Taihang Mountain and entered Jinnan." ”
Liu Yimin no longer hesitated, and ordered: "Lower the altitude, parachute and order the fighter to fight with the enemy, seize the opportunity to break through, and if you can't do it, you will parachute." Ordered the Xi'an airport to immediately report to the central authorities, notify our army in Jinnan, and prepare to meet the parachutists. ”
After giving the order, Liu Yimin immediately put the sniper rifle and the Bayi automatic rifle on his back, carried the two shell guns on his body, pulled out the parachute from under his seat and tied it, grabbed the canvas bag containing the bullets, and beckoned Li Chengyi and Lu Wen to bring the radio and check the equipment.
Seeing that the division commander immediately ordered a parachute jump, the captain dodged the bullets of the Japanese plane, and began to descend rapidly. As a result, before the plane could descend to a suitable altitude, the bullets of the Japanese plane hit the wings and fuselage, and the plane was already riddled with holes.
The situation is urgent, and the captain shouts an order: "Prepare to stand up hooks"
Liu Yimin, Li Chengyi, and Lu Wen quickly hung the hook that fixed the parachute cable to the steel cable in the cabin, Liu Yimin took the lead, Lu Wen was in the center, and Li Chengyi finally stood in line at the door of the cabin.
Liu Yimin, Li Chengyi, and Lu Wen only know the basic knowledge of parachuting, but have not practiced it. However, by this time, they all understood that when the time of life and death came, the Japanese plane was prepared, and the transport plane could not escape the pursuit of the devil fighter anyway. In addition, they all crawled out of the mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and they had long regarded life and death very lightly, and they did not have that kind of fear.
Waiting for the cabin door to open, Liu Yimin immediately jumped out of the cabin door and jumped out in the direction of the tail of the plane, in order to adapt to the wind and relieve the impact from the left, behind him, Lu Wen and Li Chengyi jumped out of the cabin. After the captain and navigator parachuted, the plane was hit by devils and exploded in volley.
After blowing up Liu Yimin's landline, the Japanese plane that found that someone had parachuted immediately turned in the air and opened fire on the umbrella flowers one by one.
After Wu Le pounced on the Japanese plane with four fighters, he found that the number of Japanese planes was huge, a full twenty-four, and hurriedly reported to the captain of the special plane again, ordering him to quickly break through and lead the fighters to start fighting with the Japanese plane.
As soon as they saw the posture of the Japanese plane, the pilots all understood that if they wanted to cover the withdrawal of the No. 1 special plane from the battlefield, they could only fight to the death. Therefore, although the Japanese planes took the lead, the four fighters of the Eighth Route Army were completely fighting for their lives, and they were extremely ferocious, and they killed one Japanese plane as soon as they came up.
However, the heroes couldn't stand the large number of people, and it didn't take long for the four Eighth Route Army fighters to fall into the encirclement of the Japanese planes.
When Wu Le finally rushed out of the encirclement, he saw four Japanese planes chasing and killing Liu Yimin and others who had parachuted. Wu Le's heart was broken, he yelled "Protect No. 1", and rushed down as soon as he pressed the nose of the plane, and a string of bullets shot out, knocking out a Japanese plane that was triumphantly shooting at the umbrella flowers and planting it on the ground with billowing black smoke.
At this time, Wu Le's fighter plane shook, and the engine stopped working.
Wu Le knew that the fighter plane had been hit and could no longer cover No. 1, so he pressed the nose of the plane and slammed into another strafing Japanese plane. With a "boom", the two planes collided together. Before Wu Le sacrificed, he clearly saw the frightened face of the devil pilot, and shouted in his heart: "*** little devil, Lao Tzu will still be a good man in another twenty years, and I will come to you again to settle accounts."
Liu Yimin parachuted first, and he carried a lot of weapons and ammunition, and he fell quickly. When the parachute opens automatically, it sways in the wind and falls to the ground. At this time, there was the sound of gunfire from the Japanese plane, and Liu Yimin's heart tightened: *** little devil, what a ruthless method, this is to kill them all
Finally got to the ground, Liu Yimin relied on his good skills, and did not follow the correct landing action, kicked out with both feet in a row, and tapped on the crown of a big tree to reduce the impact of the fall, and then fell lightly, quickly untied the parachute, rolled continuously on the ground, and hid behind a big tree.
After landing, Liu Yimin's eyes glanced around through the morning light and found that he had landed on a small hill.
The machine-gun bullets of the Japanese plane swept towards Liu Yimin's parachute, breaking the parachute into rags, and the plane swooped down and swept the passing air waves, blowing the dead grass and leaves on the ground in all directions.
Without further detailed observation, Liu Yimin reached out and took off the sniper rifle from his back, loaded it, and looked up at the sky.
Dear book friends: Vote for it, and the mountain people look forward to it, thank you
