Chapter 643: Nani?
The devil officers in the cabin suddenly panicked, and their faces became very ugly.
The situation was extremely bad when they were attacked by anti-aircraft guns at this position and height.
The pilots of the devils immediately increased their horsepower, wanting to get out of the area of fire from the air guns.
From the devil pilot's field of vision, you can see more clearly, and the surroundings are densely packed with anti-aircraft shells.
The pilot of the devil's co-pilot glanced down, only to see hundreds of bullet chains on the ground, like the whip of death, towards the plane.
"Yaga!"
"Those idiots of the First Army, how can there be enemy anti-aircraft fire here?"
In the cabin, Gu Shoufu couldn't help but scold.
However, there was not much time for him to think about it, and in just a few seconds, the bottom of the plane was pierced, and a devil Dazuo was smashed into pieces of meat by a machine shell.
Immediately afterwards, the engine of the plane was hit and caught fire, completely out of control.
On the ground, in the field of view of Li Yunlong's telescope.
After he gave the order to fire, 140 anti-aircraft guns opened fire almost simultaneously, and the dense anti-aircraft bombs suddenly filled the sky.
In just two or three seconds, the devil's transport plane was hit.
Then a large hole was opened in the belly of the devil's transport plane, the left wing was broken, and the belly was full of bullet holes fired by 20-mm machine guns.
The engine was hit and caught fire, and the transporter dragged a long black tail of smoke and fell diagonally downwards at a breakneck speed.
All 140 anti-aircraft fires were fired at the Devil's transport plane, and in front of the Devil's transport plane, an airtight anti-aircraft fire network was formed.
The devil's transport plane crashed headlong into the anti-aircraft fire net, and then was shot into a sieve.
The moment the two escorting Nakajima fighters discovered the anti-aircraft fire, they swooped down towards the Purple Mountain, preparing to take out the enemy's anti-aircraft fire.
But looking at the starry firepower points on the ground, the devil pilot couldn't help but gasp.
There are too many anti-aircraft fire points on the ground, which one to hit first?
With such a hesitation, the devil's transport plane had been beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground.
The two fighter pilots immediately pulled the joysticks to pull the plane into the air.
Today's weather is cloudy, and as long as you pull the plane into the clouds, the plane will be safe.
However, it was too late, and most of the anti-aircraft fire was already eyeing the fighters of the two devils.
The two Devil fighters first dived downward, and then found that something was wrong and pulled upwards, and at this time the Devil fighters were only about 1,000 meters away from the ground.
And when pulling upward, even a fighter is at its weakest.
Then, under the dense rain of shells, the two devil fighters were hit one after another, exploded in the air, and various parts fell one after another.
The devil's transport plane fell headlong into the ground and crashed into a nameless hill.
Immediately afterward, an orange-red flame burst out, and a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the explosion.
Duan Peng led the sword squadron to ride a horse towards the location where the devil transport plane fell for the first time.
During the shooting just now, the Sword Squadron has been watching to see if there are any devils who have parachuted.
Of course, in that case, once a devil parachutes, he will definitely be smashed into pieces and fall by the machine gun in the air.
Li Yunlong also followed, and followed with the guards on horseback.
Five minutes later, Li Yunlong arrived with the guards, and the Sword Squadron had already arrived one step ahead and surrounded the crash site of the devil transport plane.
It's just that the devil's plane ignited a raging fire, and the members of the Sword Squadron didn't get too close.
"Duan Peng, have you found any living devils?"
Seeing Duan Peng coming up to him, Li Yunlong looked at him and asked.
"Report to the head of the regiment, no living devils have been found." Duan Peng replied crisply.
"Hahaha..."
Li Yunlong looked at the wreckage of the devil transport plane wrapped in flames, with a hearty smile on his face:
"Well done."
Whether Gu Shoufu was on this plane or not is not 100% sure at the moment.
Although there has been no mistake in the information provided by Boss Chen, after all, Boss Chen gave the information half a month ago, and whenever there is a little change during this period, the information will be wrong.
All three planes have been shot down, and Li Yunlong ordered the soldiers to take pictures of the crash.
Without the slightest hesitation, he led his troops to retreat.
If Gu Shoufu was on this plane, he didn't have to think about it, then he would be dead, and his body would be in ashes.
……
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
Wujuku Airport.
Kazuki Yamamoto raised the watch in his hand and looked at it with a cold expressionless face, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
The chief of staff of the First Army on the side, Hanaya Masa, also looked at the watch in his hand with a shocked face.
He looked up at the northeast sky with a telescope, but did not see the plane appear, nor did he hear the sound of the plane.
Since there were several mountains in between, the explosion of the devil's plane crashing to the ground did not come over, so it was impossible for Kazuki Yamamoto, Hanaya Masa, and others to hear the explosion.
The two looked at each other, carried the command saber on their shoulders, and jumped into the armored car together.
Kazuki Yamamoto said to the devil driver, "Go to the airport tower!" ”
"Hey!"
The devil driver drove the armored car to the airport tower.
After a while, the armored car stopped in front of the airport tower, and Kazuki Yamamoto and Hanaya were rushing into the tower at the same time.
Hua Gu Zheng said loudly: "Contact the special plane of the observation group immediately!" ”
"Moxi Moxi, Moxi Moxi, Moxi Moxi......"
The devils of the tower also discovered that something was wrong at the same time, and before Kazuki Yamamoto and Hanaya arrived, the devils of the tower were already calling continuously.
"General!" The devil liaison stood up and said with an ugly face, "The plane between the tower and the observation group has lost contact!" ”
"How is this possible?" Hanaya's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Yamamoto Kazuki's expressionless face gradually became gloomy, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
There is a good chance that something happened to the plane that the group was flying!
Was it shot down by an enemy plane?
Kazuki Yamamoto's face was cloudy.
Hanaya was saying comforting words: "Maybe Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu is going to take a plane to take a turn in other places, and then he will return to the airport later?" ”
"Impossible!" Yamamoto Kazuki shook his head slightly, and his tone was affirmative, "If this is the case, it is impossible for the tower to be unable to contact the aircraft of the observation group." ”
Hanaya said again: "What if the radio equipment of the transport plane happens to be broken?" ”
"There aren't so many ifs and whatevers." Kazuki Yamamoto said, "The plane of the observation group is likely to have an accident!" ”
Hearing what Kazuki Yamamoto said, the last trace of luck in Hanaya's heart was gone.
Then, Kazuki Yamamoto looked at the liaison officer of the tower, grabbed him by the collar, and asked viciously, "When was the last time the plane of the observation group contacted the tower?" ”
"Report to the General, it was five minutes ago!" The devil liaison officer was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The plane of the observation group has descended to 2,500 meters, which is about 26 kilometers away from the airport. ”
Yamamoto Kazuki let go of the devil liaison and said to Hanaya Masa: "Chief of Staff, please contact the headquarters immediately and send the 1st Cavalry Brigade to search in the northeast direction." ”
Hanaya was immediately walking towards the tower's telephone.
He first quickly shook the handle, then put the phone to his ear, and said, "Moxi Moxi, this is the airport, immediately connect to the commander's office." ”
A moment later.
In the office of the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu was reading information behind his desk.
He had ordered his subordinates to prepare for the reception banquet of the observation group, and he would personally attend and accompany him later.
If Gu Shoufu can take the position, then make friends with Gu Shouo in advance, which will be beneficial to Iwamatsu Yoshio and the First Army.
Ding Ding Ding –
The phone on the table rang, and Yoshio Iwamatsu picked up the phone casually and put it to his ear: "Moxi Moxi, this is the commander's office, and I'm Yoshio Iwamatsu." ”
Hanaya's gloomy voice sounded in the ears of Yoshio Iwamatsu: "Your Excellency Commander, I am Hanaya Masa, the plane of the observation group did not arrive at Takejuku Airport, and lost contact with the tower, and now Yamamoto-kun suspects that something has happened to the plane of the observation group, and requests to send the 1st Cavalry Brigade to the northeast to search!" ”
"Nani?"
Iwamatsu Yoshio's eyes widened and he stood up abruptly.
After a while, Iwamatsu Yoshio digested the news and said in a deep voice: "I'll give the order to the First Cavalry Brigade!" ”
Then, Iwamatsu Yoshio first hung up the phone, then shook the handle, and put the phone to his ear: "Moxi Moxi, immediately pick me up the headquarters ......of the 1st Cavalry Brigade."
With the order of Iwamatsu Yoshio, the 1st Cavalry Brigade, which was stationed and trained in the Fenhe Plain, under the leadership of Major General Kuribayashi Tadamichi, headed towards the northeast of Wusu Airport.
The 41st Wing of the 238th Division also searched northeast.
About two hours later.
The crash site was in the mountains, and a few kilometers away, the devil's cavalry saw the smoke rising into the sky.
Tadamichi Kuribayashi led the 1st Cavalry Brigade and finally found the crash site along the smoke of gunpowder.
Looking at the wreckage of the plane all over the ground, the brigade commander Kuribayashi Tadamichi was so angry that he dismounted and slashed with a knife.
After a while, a cavalry squadron leader rode a horse to Kuribayashi Tadamichi and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, a 20-mm machine gun shell was found over there. ”
Although most of the bullet casings were picked up by the soldiers of the new regiment, there were always some missing.
"Where did you find it?" Tadamichi Kuribayashi asked.
The cavalry squadron leader pointed in the direction of Purple Mountain.
Soon.
A ghost cavalry came to report that a large number of aircraft fragments were found in the dense forest over there, as well as a large number of hoof prints of mules and military horses appeared on the abandoned horse roads nearby.
At this time, Kuribayashi Tadamichi was 100 percent sure that the plane on which the observation group was traveling, as well as the two escort fighters, must have been shot down by the air defense units of the Eighth Road.
And the initiator must be the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
At that moment, Kuribayashi Tadamichi ordered a telegram to the headquarters of the First Army, and at the same time ordered the 1st Cavalry Brigade to pursue along the horse road.
……
About half an hour later.
Peiping.
Iron Lion Alley.
Command of the North China Front.
A communications staff officer walked into the commander's office with a solemn face, bowed his head to Okamura Ninji and reported:
"General!"
"The First Army is in a hurry!"
"Huh?"
The word emergency electricity surprised Okamura Ninji.
Urgent telegrams generally represent that bad things have happened or are about to happen, at this time the First Army sent a telegram, could it be that the Eighth Route Army attacked Taiyuan?
"The transport plane on which the observation group was traveling, as well as the fighters accompanying the escort, were shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire about 20 kilometers northeast of the Wusu airfield."
】
"All the members of the observation group, including Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu, are shattered!"
After saying this, the devil's communication staff officer looked sad and bowed his head to express his condolences.
Bow your head in mourning, this is the standard action of the devil after the officer's jade is broken, in order to show respect for his jade shattering.
However, when the devil staff officer raised his head, he was shocked to find that Commander Okamura Ninji not only did not bow his head in mourning, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly?
Nani?
