Conference Room of the Headquarters of the North China Garrison

Umezu Mijiro is organizing a military meeting of officers at and above the division commander level, which is attended by military commanders of more than 10 divisions and regiments subordinate to the North China Garrison Army.

At this time, an intelligence staff officer was briefing everyone on the latest information: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Generals, since yesterday, Chahar has sent a large number of troops to the border with our two provinces, Rehe and Liaoning. However, according to the instructions of the Chahar lurking in the air, at least ten divisions of troops, all of them carrying heavy weapons, moved towards the border under the guise of exercises, and the Kwantung Army command had alerted us to be careful of a sudden attack on us by Chahar. ”

"Well, gentlemen, everyone has heard the information, what do you think?" Umezu Mijiro asked with a gloomy face.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander." A lieutenant general stood up and said: "I think this is just a normal transfer of Chahar, the reason, everyone knows, that is, the general of China is getting married, he is guarding against us, and this information is known to everyone." ”

Look, oh! It turned out to be the division commander of the 12th Division, Lieutenant General Koiso Kuniaki.

Lieutenant General Ito Masaki, commander of the Third Division, flashed a trace of disdain, glanced at Lieutenant General Koiso Kuniaki again, and said: "Koiso-kun's words are very reasonable, but we also have to guard against it, so I suggest that it is better to order the troops to enter a state of combat readiness." ”

Lieutenant General Fumio Oyama, commander of the 13th Division, frowned and said, "Ito-kun, you know that if you order the troops to enter a state of combat readiness, it will have a great impact on the material consumption, morale and morale of the troops, so I think you must think carefully before giving this order." ”

A trace of sorrow flashed in Umezu Mijiro's heart, when did the warriors of the Great Empire fall to the point where a military meeting attended by the military commanders of more than a dozen divisions was specially held for the purpose of the exercises of several divisions of the Chinese army? And the officers are all in the shadow of a bow and a snake, and they just show up their faces, and their own people start to mess up.

At this time, a communications staff officer hurriedly ran in, "Report that the air force of the China Army began to make large-scale sorties, and began uninterrupted patrols along the line with Liaoning, Rehe, and Beiping, which were actually controlled by the empire. At present, there is a tense confrontation with our imperial air forces. ”

"Nani?" Umezu Mijiro stood up in surprise, and said indignantly, "What does this Shina general want to do?" ”

"Report, Su Tong, commander of the 37th Group Army of the China Army, sent a telegram in clear code to the headquarters of our North China Garrison Army and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army." Another staff officer ran in with a telegram.

"Read!" Umezu Mijiro said impatiently.

Su Tong, commander of the 37th Group Army of the Republic of China, sent a telegram to the commander of the North China Garrison Army and the commander of the Kwantung Army: In order to test the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command, Chahar will carry out a series of exercises along the Rehe, Liaoning, and Beiping lines. At that time, there may be some movements that are different from the past, so don't panic and don't make any unfriendly moves, otherwise the Chahar political axe will not dare to guarantee the personal safety of your soldiers."

In fact, everyone could hear the meaning behind this telegram, this was Su Tong warning them. Su Tong is saying that my buddy is going to get married soon, but he is not very relieved about you, for fear that you will make small moves behind your back, so he transferred the troops to the front line. But what about you? It's best to get acquainted, but don't learn from me, if you also mobilize the troops, it will make me have a bad judgment, then the consequences, the telegram didn't say it, but everyone knows what it means.

As soon as the message was read, the conference room immediately exploded. How can the commanders of the various divisions who are conceited and brave in peacetime stand such a bird spirit.

"Yaga Yalu, robber, robber logic" Even Umezu Mijiro, a self-proclaimed Confucian general, was so angry that he dropped his glass. Su Tong, you don't have to settle troops at the junction of the two sides, and you dare to openly warn the Great Emperor that this empire is not allowed to increase troops to the front line? Don't take you to bully people like this!

"Yaga! Dead, dead, dead! "The one who said this was a man of urgency.

"Too much deception!" Well, judging from the tone of this buddy, it must be a Huaxia expert.

After losing his temper, Umezu Mijiro took a breath before ordering his staff officer: "You quickly order the air force to exercise restraint, and to exercise restraint before our empire has developed a new aircraft that can resist the political axe of Chahar." ”

"Hey!" The communications staff officer turned around and was about to go out.

Another officer of the Confidential Section ran to the door, and as soon as he ran to the door, he shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander, our Air Force has exchanged fire with the China Air Force!" ”

"Nani?" Umezu Mijiro only felt a darkness in front of him, his body shook, and he showed his age, which was seriously out of pace, rushed to the officer of the Confidential Section, grabbed his collar, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and order the air force to retreat immediately, and don't entangle with the planes of the Chinese people." ”

"It's too late, the two sides have been entangled together, and now they can't be withdrawn." The confidential officer said sadly.

"Can't get out?" Umezu Mijiro's face turned blue and white at this time, and he asked, "How many Shina planes are entangled with our department now?" ”

"There are only eight."

"Hurry up and order the air force to immediately support the front line, and when the reinforcements arrive, don't entangle with the Chinese planes, and quickly retreat to the cover circle of the preset anti-aircraft artillery positions." Umezu Mijiro was visibly relieved when he heard that the scale of the air battle was not large.

But can the situation of the air battle really be as Umezu Mijiro envisioned?

Su Tong has never relaxed his vigilance against himself, and he has commented that his vigilance is so high that even Jiang Baili has gone too far.

For example, even if Su Tong went to the Siberian front line to fight Lao Maozi, he would rather take the newly formed Second and Third Air Divisions with him, and he never had the idea of taking the most elite Air First Division away. So much so that the people of the First Air Division said that Chief Su was too partial to Leng Yuan and Wang Dongzhi.

Today, Xiao Feipeng, who belongs to the 1st Air Force Division, is patrolling along the Line of Actual Control of the two sides with a total of eight P-47s in three squads.

"Captain Xiao, do you think I will come over today?" Xiao Feipeng's wingman asked boredly.

"How do I know? I'm not a roundworm in my belly. Xiao Feipeng rolled his eyes in the cockpit.

"Alas, it's still the luck of Team Xiao, just after graduation, he was assigned to the 'Rangers', and he also shot down two devils' planes, you see? This rank is also going straight up! It's been less than half a year since I graduated, and now I've risen to a dime. Another pilot said enviously.

"Hey, that's a brother's good character, you know?" Xiao Feipeng has always thought that his character is excellent, otherwise why would a few buddies who graduated with him, some of them have better flying skills than themselves, and they still have a dime and a dime card until now, that is, they have not encountered a chance. To paraphrase the words of Commander Su, that is, everything is fine with good character.

"Vomit" The sound of vomiting came from the headset at the same time, and Liang Yong, who graduated with Xiao Feipeng, said with disdain: "If Xiao Yueben's plane appears here now, I will believe in your character." ”

At this time, the familiar voice of the commander of the command tower came from the public channel: "Attention of the Hummingbird team, twelve Ki-12 Nakajima fighters have been found ahead, flying towards you, it is expected to meet you in fifteen minutes, and the command orders you to destroy them immediately." ”

The internal channels in the team collectively lost their voices for a while, and after a long time, they heard Liang Yong's 'sincere' words: "Brother, you will be my brother in the future, and I will follow you firmly in the future." ”

"So do we!" The team's communication channel said in unison.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get to work, everyone come with me." Xiao Feipeng ordered.

"Yes!" Command, no one dares to joke anymore.

The leader of the flying formation of the army who came over this time was Xiao Feipeng's old acquaintance, and he was Captain Daiki Ito, who ambushed Xiao Feipeng last time.

Although the last time he designed an ambush against Xiao Feipeng, he was dragged by Xiao Feipeng to play with two planes, and the one-to-two record made Captain Ito really feel a little embarrassed.

But in any case, Captain Ito Daiki he succeeded, he did shoot down a Chahar P-47 fighter, although his own side also lost two planes, from an economic point of view, it seems that he suffered a loss, but in the opinion of the said side, this account can not be counted like this, as long as the Chahar plane can be shot, then the myth of the invincibility of the Chahar plane can be broken, and the morale of this unit is greatly increased.

So Captain Daiki Ito was honored to be promoted to a higher level and became a freshly baked junior officer.

Well, this person says that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Captain Ito Daiki, who just got up from Yiji today, is in a good mood, well, it should be Ito Daiki Shaozo who received an order from the team commander, ordering him to lead twelve fighters to the front line to patrol along the border between the two sides, if, if, if possible, it would be better to reconnoiter the movement of Chahar's ground troops by the way.

So, I suddenly remembered that when I woke up this morning, I didn't seem to wash my hands, and Ito Daiki Shaosa's mood suddenly turned a 180-degree bend. He suddenly regretted why he forgot to call the captain when he went to the art office last night to have fun. This is truly an unforgivable crime.

It seems that he is still immature, and this lesson must be remembered firmly in mind, Ito Daiki Shaosa thought so.
