223 calls from Tokyo
But at this moment, the machine guns in the rear of the plane were almost unstoppable, and the glass was covered with ever-extending cracks. The enemy reorganizes fire and tests this piece of glass.
"I'm done here, come and help."
Ouyang Shou shouted.
Chu Aiyun ran out of 400 rounds, turned away from the smoking machine gun, and ran towards the nose of the machine. The enemy's had not yet come to their senses, and they continued to shoot at the machine-gun turret instead of the engine.
In the process of running through the cabin, Chu Aiyun took out the radio.
"Team leader, I've thought about it, the only way is to take off with Ouyang Shou, and I will parachute when I get to the air."
“…… No, skydiving at night is too dangerous, you go with him and then figure it out. ”
Lin Xiuxuan could only leave this sentence behind, if they took off successfully, it was unlikely that they would land once in the lake in the enemy-occupied area, and they would definitely fly directly to the rear, but it was not a desperate thing, there was still a way to come back.
Chu Aiyun hid the hand table and made it to the co-pilot position.
"Hold the steering wheel, the two throttle valves on your left, follow me and push it slowly later, remember not to rush, if you move too hard, the engine may gasp."
Another problem, of course, was that the plane would tilt towards the side of the engine that was producing more power, the pilot cautioned.
"What else?"
"You'll have to help me look at the meter down there. Alert me when the speed exceeds 200 km/h. After takeoff, help me navigate. ”
"Understood."
As the engines increased their output, the planes rumbled forward into the dark sea ahead, and at this time, the sluggish Japanese troops in the base also saw the signs that someone was going to steal a plane.
The commander in command thought more far-reaching, if the plane took off and managed to escape, it would be a major victory for the enemy's propaganda and a great humiliation that the Japanese Navy had never experienced before. He had just called Sifang Dazuo, who was sitting in Fengcheng, and a squadron of cavalry was coming through the night, but it seemed that it was too late.
There were still Japanese troops who tried to fire at the seaplanes, but the situation just now made it impossible for them to organize their firepower for a while. As the plane went farther and farther, its silhouette became darker and darker, and finally it disappeared into the night, and only it could be heard in the distance.
Zhu Yamin lay on his stomach in the grass, and by the light of a sea of fire, the plane that could be seen was leaving. He shook his head sincerely, and let out a long sigh, his surprise was not much smaller than that of the Japanese, who were the people behind this Mr. Lin?
Someone walked up to him and reminded him: "Instructor, it's time to withdraw, or the enemy's cavalry may come at any time." ”
Zhu Yamin turned to Lin Xiuxuan's location, where it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. He didn't know if Mr. Lin was still there, and he couldn't hear the gunshots for a while.
"Mr. Lin, we'll have a meeting later." He turned to the warrior on the side, "Whistle, let's go." ”
The mournful whistle echoed in the night sky, and the gunfire faded away. That night, they knocked out a whole base of ammunition to help Mr. Lin. It was a diversionary battle that was destined to be uncaptured, and the ammunition consumed was usually enough for them to ambush the security regiment seventeen or eighteen times. But there are people who they have to help.
The guerrillas quickly withdrew from their positions and disappeared in a few moments.
Inside the seaplane.
Chu Aiyun stared at the speedometer, the Japanese use the metric system, which saved him the trouble of conversion. The speed has increased to 180 kilometers per hour. He reminded Ouyang Shou. Ouyang Shou slowly pulled back the heavy Xiang Plate. The plane didn't seem to be moving much, and it didn't seem to be fast enough. But that's just why it's too sluggish, and after a few seconds the seat starts to tilt and climb upwards. Chu Aiyun felt the cold wind blowing on his cheeks, the cabin of this plane was not very closed, and they did not carry oxygen tanks, so they were destined to fly not too high.
"What time is it?"
Ouyang Shou asked.
"About 4:30."
"Soon it will be dawn, and you must hide quickly."
"Don't you fly along the Yangtze River? You might be able to see the lights of the boats. ”
"If nothing else, the Japanese fighters will chase along the Yangtze River. The plane was too slow. We have to go from Jiangxi to Hunan. ”
"Brother Ouyang, can you stop at some lake on the road and put me down?"
"What are you kidding, you think it's a rickshaw? Moreover, once we return to our own place, it will definitely cause a sensation. The Chairman will definitely see you personally. Do you know the significance of what we're doing today? ”
"What's the point?"
Chu Aiyun pretended to be ignorant, what he was mainly anxious about now was how to go back. The chairman of the committee could not see the other way.
"Hehe, we have created a miracle in military history, which is no less significant than a Taierzhuang or Kunlun Pass. Look at it, this time it will definitely make the Japanese half angry, maybe a few guys will have to wash their seppuku and apologize. To disgrace the Japanese is the greatest encouragement to the anti-fascist war around the world. Of course, if we get back safely. ”
Ouyang Shou was overly excited and began to talk endlessly.
"I didn't think that far."
"Where are you now? Dude, you help me keep an eye on the magnetic compass. ”
"Bearing 105."
Ouyang Shou was stunned for a moment, and he found that the way the person next to him expressed his direction was a bit professional. But whatever.
"By the way, big brother, isn't there also a Japanese army in Jiangxi?"
"That's right, an offensive is underway. But they want to catch up with us, and they're going to take off at this point, so they can only guess. So, it will definitely go along the Yangtze River. ”
"I'll go to the back to see if there are any extra bullets, if the enemy plane chases after me, I can resist for a while."
"Okay."
Ouyang Shou agreed, he was completely unaware of the pain in his foot now, needless to say that he was just shot, even if he lost a leg, it was not worth it.
Chu Aiyun had to seize the last chance to make the last contact with 419, he knew that 419 was in the dark sea below, and according to the plane's speed of 250 kilometers per hour, it only took a few more moments to fly, and his hand console would not work.
The No. 419 submarine was driving in Hangzhou Bay, and when the plane got up from the sea, it began to track the whole process. I watched it pass over its head and fly in the direction of Zhejiang. Even if you know that there is the sea below, it is difficult for a seaplane to land at night, not to mention that it is not Chu Aiyun who flies the plane.
"Call the Black Dragon. Call Black Dragon......"
When the deputy captain shouted for the fourth time, Cheng Dayang finally replied.
"Black Dragon waiting for a call."
"Captain, commissar, plans have changed, I think I'll have to go to the rear for a while."
"I'm sure you'll be able to handle all the odds."
"I will find a way to restore contact as soon as possible and report that I am safe."
"Maybe I'll see you in the newspapers." Cheng Dayang's eyes suddenly appeared in front of the headline of the Central Daily, and Chu Aiyun stood beside Chiang Kai-shek. Standing next to him was Chennault, "I believe in your abilities, take care of yourself." ”
"I'll come back alive."
"Nobody is worried about your accident. And also...... Don't leave the desk with you. ”
The sound on the radio began to be choppy, and after a while it was completely impossible to communicate, apparently far beyond the rated communication distance. He turned off the hand, went to the side of the hatch, and pushed a crack open, and the cold wind searched and poured into the plane. He reached out of the gap with his hand holding the station, then gritted his teeth and threw the radio into the sea below. From now on, all of his contact with 419 is severed. He knew that Cheng Dayang was right, it was difficult for him to keep this thing, no matter where he landed in the rear after dawn, or even if he was shot down by a pursuing Japanese plane in Jiangxi, this thing was no longer useful, only trouble. As for how to restore communication with 419 in the future, he has not yet figured it out, he knows that with 419's electronic surveillance capabilities, it can listen to most radio stations and broadcasts. As long as they find a radio station with enough power to send out a secret message, they are likely to be accepted and arranged, but of course this is a story for another time. If Ouyang Shou's prediction is right, he is likely to come up with some nicknames, and he can use this identity to achieve some purposes. He had claimed to be a member of the Loyal Salvation Army, and his resume behind enemy lines could not be verified, but it helped him to quickly gain a foothold and manage to get close to the station. Of course, before embarking on the next magnificent move, it is necessary to make sure that you can escape from the pursuit of the Japanese planes.
He searched around, found the ammunition box in the iron cabinet at the tail of the plane, and reloaded the two machine guns. The sea level to the east is already faintly brightening, and the cover of night is disappearing. The aircraft had two machine-gun towers and several machine-gun firing holes. The best in the firing range was the one in the back, and if necessary, he had to sit there and take advantage of the caliber advantage to drive the enemy planes out of range.
In the barren countryside of Fengxian, the cavalry squadron of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was thinking about a sea of fire galloping in the distance. However, the gunfire had already stopped, and the cavalry hurried and hurried, still a step late. They borrowed naval telephones from within the base and established contact with the command. Ryo Daisa of the Quartet ordered them to immediately split up and attack in pursuit of every fleeing enemy. At this moment, it has been a full hour since the enemy withdrew. They could only find some traces from the positions where the enemy had just been, and there was also a vague image in all directions that the enemy would run by sea, which he had come to after analyzing the last few strange attacks.
In the Hongkou Army Headquarters, the two big people of the four directions walked around the communication room, so that they could get first-hand information faster than sitting in the office and waiting for a telegram.
His presence exerted invisible pressure on the communications staff who were receiving and receiving telegrams. Osa creatively came up with two tactics: aerial reconnaissance with the long-range advantage of water planes and chasing guerrillas in the countryside with the mobility of cavalry. But tonight, all attempts failed, and even the military port that had just been built by the navy was destroyed by the enemy. He became more and more aware of the difficulty of this group of enemies, and every time they appeared, they would inevitably stir up a chicken.
I thought that the sweep in August had achieved initial results, and this group of arrogant enemies disappeared from the vicinity of Shanghai, which was a great achievement, but how did it appear again in September, and how could I explain such a bad situation to my superiors in Tokyo? He was not lacking in political sensitivity, and the fact that the plane was snatched could be equated with events such as the sinking of Izumo or the bombing of the headquarters, which would have a rather sensational propaganda effect.
"Dazuo, Line 1 has your phone."
"What?"
Quartet couldn't help but shudder, he knew what that direct phone to Tokyo meant, there was only one person from the Ministry of War who would call at 5 a.m., and that was the big guy who sent him here to brush his resume. As the most important overseas base, every failure in the security war around Shanghai will affect Tokyo's nerves, and he has obviously disappointed his mentor again.
