Chapter 842 Air interception!(2/2)
The combat staff officer suddenly widened his eyes and stood up suddenly.
Neji Okamura, Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisu, who were discussing the battle plan, all turned to look at the battle staff.
The combat staff officer glanced at Neji Okamura and the others with a guilty conscience, and then said: "I will report to the Commander immediately."
After hanging up the phone, the combat staff quickly walked to Okamura Neiji and paused: "Report to the commander, the Xijiao Airport just called to report that an air battle occurred over the airport!"
Because the airport is far away from Peiping City, and the location of the North China Front Army Headquarters is almost in the center of the city.
Therefore, when there is an air battle at the Xijiao Airport, neither the Japanese nor the Chinese people in Peking City can see it.
Unless it is the explosion of a heavy aerial bomb, it is possible to hear it in Peiping City.
"A dogfight?"
Okamura Neji, Tanabe Moritake, and Yusue Seizo all had their expressions change.
Wuwuwu——
At this moment, a rapid and shrill air raid siren sounded in Beiping City.
"what is going on?"
Okamura Neji frowned, anger appearing on his face.
There was an air battle over the western suburbs airport. He, the commander of the North China Front, didn't know what was going on. It was simply ridiculous.
The operational staff officer quickly replied: "The airport said that a Locust Army plane was approaching the airport from the northeast, and suddenly more than 30 enemy planes appeared to attack the Locust Army plane!"
"By the way, the Locust Army has about 20 fighter jets and 1 transport plane!"
Coming from the northeast, it must be a Kwantung Army aircraft.
But when the Kwantung Army's plane comes to Peiping Airport, why doesn't the Kwantung Army Headquarters tell the North China Front Army Headquarters in advance?
Yoshijiro Umezu doesn’t trust me, Neji Okamura?
While Okamura Neji was thinking about the TV sparks, Tanabe Moritake's expression changed slightly: "General, your Excellency, that transport plane is probably the plane of General Okabe Naosaburo..."
Okamura Neji nodded in agreement.
The only explanation is that last time the base camp sent a telegram saying that Naosaburo Okabe would arrive in Peiping within three days.
It is now the third day, and today is the day when Naosaburo Okabe finally arrives in Peiping.
But.
Naosaburo Okabe flew to Peiping from Manchuria without giving any notice. This clearly shows that he cannot trust me, Neji Okamura?
The fact that the Eighth Route Army dared to intercept in the sky near the airport in the western suburbs of Peiping showed that it had obtained information about Naosaburo Okabe's itinerary and the escort fighter aircraft.
Then, there is a high probability that Naosaburo Okabe's life will not be saved.
This was not only unexpected by Okamura Neji, but also reasonable.
"Immediately send the air defense forces in the city to reinforce General Okabe Naosaburo!"
Although he had anticipated the general outcome, Okamura Neiji still dispatched air defense troops.
certainly.
By the time the air defense troops in the city gather and rush over, the day lilies may be cold, but what needs to be done is still done.
"Immediately contact the Kwantung Army headquarters and ask the intercepted transport plane whether General Okabe Naosaburo was on that plane!"
"Hi!"
The combat advisors, Tanabe Moritake and Arisum Seisan, bowed their heads in unison.
…
The sky near Xijiao Airport.
Ten Saber fighter jets emerged from the clouds in all directions and headed straight for Naosaburo Okabe's plane like an arrow.
Although the Japanese fighter jets covered the KI57 transport plane's rapid landing.
But the distance between the two sides is still closing rapidly.
Soon, the Japanese fleet came within the range of the Sabre fighter's 20mm cannon, and the Eighth Route Army pilots immediately pressed the shooting button.
Boom boom…
Blue flames appeared on both wings of the plane, and the dense 20mm shells fired turned into twenty fire whips in the air, wrapping around the Japanese plane like the whip of death.
Boom, boom, boom...
The Japs pilots were focused on descending altitude and the air battle in the distance.
It wasn't until he saw the fighter jet beside him being blown up in the air that he came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that he had been attacked and had his asshole blown up by an enemy plane.
The Japanese pilots' expressions changed greatly and they quickly pulled the control sticks. The Falcon fighter jets quickly rolled in the air to avoid the hail of bullets.
Fighters were able to evade quickly, but transport planes were not so lucky.
Two Saber fighter jets fired continuously at Naosaburo Okabe's plane.
