Not knowing what his opponent's name was, Lu Yu kept shooting bullets at Tokugawa's landline. Fighter planes, seaplanes, although the battle between these two planes is absolutely unequal, but Lu Yu does not have the slightest guilt in his heart―――――― in the end, these Japanese in front of him are not invited in by them after all, in Lu Yu's opinion, they are completely a group of invaders, since they are invaders, then there must be no guilt of bullying the weak.

And after thinking about it for a while, Lu Yu would not feel that if the other party changed to his current position, he would be merciful to his subordinates.

So while piloting the plane, Lu Yu kept shooting bullets at the other party.

Unlike more than a decade or twenty years later, seaplanes were usually sturdy, but now...

At this time, after all, it was the era when the aircraft was just starting, and it had not been long since the Wright brothers flew the plane into the sky for the first time, and the technology was still very weak, and the aircraft itself could not be expected to have the ability to resist machine gun bullets, so under Lu Yu's attack, Tokugawa's Falmont 1912 was soon full of holes.

Although Tokugawa was also trying to avoid the attacks of his opponents, and drove the plane back to Longkou Bay as much as possible―――――――――― although he did not feel that he would be safe there, in any case, there was always some psychological comfort, and there were still a large number of warships in Longkou Bay, and the opponent would always have some scruples.

And then...

――――――――――――――――――――

Despite Tokugawa's efforts to fly the plane in the direction of Longkou Bay, his car was still too fragile. And in terms of maneuverability, it is impossible to compare with a fighter at all, and there is not even a possibility of getting rid of Lu Yu at all. When this Falment 1912 was once again subjected to a barrage of bullets, he finally became like many pilots in later generations. I had to follow my plane and plunge to the ground in one go...

When Lu Yu saw his opponent dragging a puff of black smoke to the ground, Lu Yu whistled with some excitement.

As a pilot, he knew very well that no pilot had ever wrecked a plane at this time, in other words, he was the first ―――――― if not those who had an accident while piloting a plane.

Albeit...

There are many, many accidents, but accidents always happen, so at this time, there were many accidents in the process of forming the flight unit. In some of these accidents, even the pilots themselves suffered quite a few casualties.

The reason why it is said to be a flying unit is that at this time there were only two arms in the Wehrmacht, the army and the navy, and there was no such arm as the air force. Of course. Yan Shao also considered the formation of an air force, but in the end he also thought that this idea was too early, after all, at this time, the aircraft was still a new type of warplane, and the actual combat value was not very large. Even if the Air Force is to be formed. I'll have to wait until the technology is more mature...

After determining that the target was dead and could not die again, Lu Yu whistled, and then continued to drive the plane in the direction of Longkou Bay―――――― although he had already killed a target, he did not forget his original mission, that is, to reconnoiter the enemy forces in Longkou Bay.

As for the feelings when he saw his peers fall to the ground, except for the fact that he deserved it, Lu Yu didn't have any other feelings, not even the feeling of sadness when the rabbit died and the fox died.

――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Lu Yu was driving the plane towards Longkou Bay. In the temporary headquarters in the town, Mitsutomi Kamio and some other army officers also did not look very good. There is only one reason. That is, some of the army units sent out by Mitsutomi Kamio not long ago have just suffered some setbacks.

As mentioned earlier, air force reconnaissance cannot replace army reconnaissance, and army reconnaissance cannot replace air force reconnaissance. Therefore, after asking the navy to get the plane out of the sky, Kamio Mitsutomi also sent some small troops, intending to conduct a reconnaissance of the Wehrmacht in Linglong Town.

In the final analysis, as an army general, Mitsutomi Kamio does not particularly trust the emerging 'toy' of airplanes after all, and what really makes him trust is always the army unit. This is also one of the reasons why he sent ground troops, and he is in the command headquarters, and he is also expecting some good news, but...

Outcome...

Not particularly good.

Because of the small units sent by Mitsutomi Kamio, some of them had an encounter with the Wehrmacht's reconnaissance unit.

Like Kamio Mitsutomi, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili didn't particularly believe in the Air Force, so before the Air Force set off, they had already sent some ground troops in the direction of Longkou Bay to find out some information.

And in this case, the two groups collided together.

Of course, it would be nothing if it only came like this, but the vast majority of the troops that were encountered, except for a very small number of Japanese troops, were all beaten and fled by the Wehrmacht reconnaissance units that they encountered, and two or three or even the whole were annihilated.

Such a result was too much of a thrill for Kamio Mitsutomi and for the others present.

"Those damn cowards—" shredding the information in his hand, one of the officers said angrily. Those cowards should all be disemboweled, what face do they have to come back! ”

Not only him, but even other officers also have the same attitude, after all, such a record is really...

You know, when they landed, they were full of confidence...

At the same time, despite his not very good face, Kamio Mitsutomi suppressed their anger and turned to look at one of the pieces of information.

Unlike his own subordinates, Kamio Mitsutomi is very concerned about what the information says, and in his opinion, some of the above information is still very useful.

For example, in one of the pieces of information, according to the leader of the squad in charge of leading the team, they were confronted with an equal number of Wehrmacht.

Like many Japanese soldiers at this time, the squad leader and his subordinates did not pay much attention to the enemy forces in front of them, but thought that their good luck had come after the encounter. However, just as they raised their rifles and charged at the enemy. But he was hit head-on by an unexpected head-on.

"The enemy's firepower is very fierce, and it is not at all comparable to our army, under the rain of bullets. I have no choice but to lie down with my head down..."

The Japanese army was completely stunned, under the fire of many light machine guns, they did not even have a chance to raise their heads, and the grenades and so on afterwards also made them suffer enough.

They should be glad that this is a reconnaissance force, so they don't bring any particularly strong heavy equipment with them―――――― compared to the infantry.

At least at this time they did not bring the mortars that the army had already begun to install. You know, this thing has already begun to be mass-loaded with troops. Of course, limited to the relationship of productivity, so the number of troops armed with mortars at this time was not very large. There are only two or three main divisions equipped, but now in Shandong, there happens to be one of the main divisions...

At this time, although the Young Zhuang faction in the Japanese Army had begun to gradually raise its head, it was not the army dominated by the military headquarters in later generations. The officers inside weren't brainless guys. At least Kamio Mitsutomi wasn't an impulsive person himself, and he didn't think it would hurt Bushido or anything if he was equipped.

Is there anything wrong with using equipment to reduce casualties?

That's why he attaches great importance to the words of intelligence...

――――――――――――――――――――

After reading the description of several encounters on the intelligence, Mitsutomi Kamio quickly discovered a common denominator, that is, those small units were all encountered by their unimaginable super firepower, light machine guns, grenades, and although there was still a mortar, it was already very strong for the ordinary infantry of this era―――――― this era. At least at this time, no army had more machine guns than the Wehrmacht, not even those in Europe.

This. But Yan Shao is the proudest place.

At the same time, after determining this point, Mitsutomi Kamio also made a small decision, that is, in a short period of time, avoid short-handed contact as much as possible, so as not to have more defeats.

However, at this time, Kamio Mitsutomi had not yet realized the importance of the above information, and he, like everyone else, thought that this was just the defeat of a small army, and had nothing to do with the next battle. And as long as the defense line of the Wehrmacht in Linglong Town can be broken, the next battle will be much easier.

"Pass the order, let the soldiers rest well, and wait until all the troops have landed..."

"Yes!"

Hearing Kamio Mitsutomi's order, the officer standing behind him bowed his head and said in a respectful voice.

100,000 troops, Longkou Bay at this time is still just a simple bay after all, even if there is a wharf, the scale is pitiful. It is definitely not an easy task to unload all 100,000 people, of course, even so, this is already the best landing point for the Japanese―――――― after all, this is also a commercial port anyway, and the conditions of other fishing villages will only be more humble than here, as for Yantai and other places for the British...

Despite the fact that the Japanese had a more impulsive character, at least at this time, they did not intend to anger the British. And if it is borrowed, the British will obviously not agree either, because they do not intend to provoke the Chinese ...

――――――――――――――――――――

It was getting dark, and it was already the second day after the Japanese army landed at Longkou.

Since the ten battleships anchored in Longkou Bay and other ships, the Wehrmacht did not take the initiative to launch an offensive against the Japanese. After all, in that case, under the Japanese naval artillery attack, the casualties would be too great.

It was also in this quiet atmosphere that the troop carriers anchored in the bay continued to unload the soldiers on them, and the number of soldiers in the city gradually increased.

And on the sea, inside the bridge of the battleship 'Settsu', looking at the quiet atmosphere of the town, Yuzaburo Kato frowned slightly.

"Captain Tokugawa......... Haven't come back yet? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency," said the captain of the Wakamiya Maru, bowing his head and respectfully. Captain Tokugawa has been missing for more than ten hours now..."

"So..."

Listening to this news, Yuzaburo Kato had a slight bad premonition in his heart.

Although Tokugawa was only a pilot, because of the extremely scarce number, the rank of pilot at this time was not low, at least in the Japanese army, a captain was not a cabbage, you must know that in the Wehrmacht, a regiment commander is just a colonel.

Of course, there are still several levels behind each other...

"Your Excellency, maybe there's something wrong with Captain Tokugawa's plane, there's nothing to worry about..."

Seeing that Yuzaburo Kato seemed to be a little worried, an officer next to him laughed softly.

"It's not that simple," Yuzaburo Kato said with a slight shake of his head. I just got the information from the army that some of the army units sent out by Mitsutomi Kamio encountered quite a few Chinese troops, and they were in equal numbers......... They all failed..."

When he said this, Kato Yuzaburo's face also became stern.

"All failed?" Hearing Yuzaburo Kato say this, the officers next to him said in surprise.

"Of course it's not all," Yuzaburo Kato shook his head. But as long as they encountered the small units of the Chinese army, almost all of them failed, and the rest of them were just because they didn't meet them, and ――――――the most surprising thing is that the number of Chinese troops was almost the same as theirs, you can imagine what that meant..."

If Yuzaburo Kato's words just surprised them just now, then this time they completely lost their color.

Defeat the army with the same number, for them, if the number of Chinese troops is two or three times more than their own, then the defeat is still acceptable, after all, the other side does have more people, but with the same number...

"Those guys in the Army, are you depraved!"

Gnashing his teeth, one of the officers said.

Listening to his words, several other officers also showed expressions of approval. And thinking back about the content of the information, Kato Yuzaburo's face became a little complicated.

"It's equipment..."

Unlike the Army, the Navy has always been at the forefront of the world, and the Japanese Navy is also the most technologically advanced branch of the Japanese Army.

It is precisely because the opponent's equipment is better than theirs that they will suffer defeat.

Of course, in many cases, equipment does not mean a qiē, but more often than not, the better equipped side does have a much better chance of winning, all things being equal.

It's just that when I was thinking so in my heart, at this time Yuzaburo Kato didn't notice that on the water outside the bay, they were being targeted... (To be continued......)
