The Japanese pilot of KI57 pulled the control stick and the nose of the aircraft sank downwards. The transport aircraft roared through the clouds and lowered its altitude.
Feeling the plane sink slightly, Naosaburo Okabe woke up from his sleep.
Naosaburo Okabe had a dream just now.
In the dream, he commanded the North China Front Army to defeat the Eighth Route Army in North China, and was later promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Expedition Army.
He led the empire's army of more than 1 million to conquer China, and he succeeded Hideji Tojo as the next prime minister of Japan, and his popularity was unprecedented.
Just when he was about to order the Imperial Navy to land on the west coast of the United States, he woke up from his dream.
He looked around and found that he was still on the transport plane, and outside the plane were escorting Falcon fighter jets.
"It turned out to be a dream."
Okabe Naosaburo murmured to himself that the dream was somewhat real, so real that he even felt that it was not a dream.
"Perhaps this is the guidance Amaterasu gave me to work hard in that direction. God bless our Yamato nation."
Think of this.
Naosaburo Okabe immediately clenched his fists, feeling full of energy and having a goal to strive for.
First conquer China, then land in the United States, conquer the United States, and finally dominate the world.
"General, are you awake?" asked a staff officer with the rank of colonel on his shoulders.
"Um…"
Naosaburo Okabe had a cold look on his face:
"Why do I feel like the plane is descending? Is it almost arriving in Peiping?"
The colonel's staff replied: "Yes, Your Excellency, General, we are almost arriving in Peiping. The pilot just came over to send a message and we will land at Peking Airport in about 10 minutes."
"Yoshi."
When he heard that he was about to arrive at Peiping Airport, Naosaburo Okabe smiled slightly.
It seems that as long as the information about your itinerary is not known to the North China Front Army Headquarters, it will be safe.
The colonel's staff asked: "Your Excellency, General, would you like to call the control tower of Peiping Xijiao Airport? We can ask the North China Front Army to prepare to protect the convoy. After the plane lands, the convoy will escort you to Iron Lion Alley."
Naosaburo Okabe thought carefully, waved his hand and said, "No need!"
"There are high-level enemy agents hidden in the North China Front Army Headquarters."
"Once the senior agents of the North China Front know that I am coming to Peiping, we will be in danger."
"This senior agent only needs to notify the Eighth Route Army, which will send planes to bomb my convoy at the airport on the way to Peiping."
"No matter how elite the escort force is, it is no match for the Eighth Route Army aircraft."
"After arriving at the airport, I will take an ordinary car to the headquarters. It will be safer."
"Hi!" The colonel immediately said no more.
Sitting in the transport plane, Naosaburo Okabe looked at the ground, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Judging from various intelligence data, the water at the North China Front Army Headquarters is very deep.
Okamura Neji was still Showa Miwa Karasu, and it seemed like that. Okamura Neji even did espionage work, but Okamura Neji knew nothing about the enemy's senior agent lurking in the North China Front.
What about water depth?
After I took office as the commander of the North China Front, I replaced all staff officers and security personnel, even the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff.
How should you respond?
In the final analysis, Okamura Neji is more cautious than courageous.
If we replace Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisue at the North China Front Headquarters as soon as possible, Lieutenant Generals Yoshimoto Teiichi and Miyano Michichi will not die.
It seems that after taking office as the commander of the North China Front Army, he will have to make drastic reforms.
Just when Naosaburo Okabe was looking forward to the future of the North China Front.
Changes occur suddenly.
"Boom boom…"
"Da da da…"
The sound of firing from 20mm aircraft cannons and aircraft machine guns could be heard in my ears.
"Nani?"
"what's the situation?"
Naosaburo Okabe looked out through the plexiglass of the cabin and saw more than 20 enemy planes appearing a few hundred meters above the front, rushing down towards the Japanese flying formation, diving and firing.
Lieutenant Colonel Onda Kenshige almost immediately spotted more than 20 Eighth Route Army aircraft flying at an altitude of 500 meters above the front.
Before he had time to think too much, Onda Kenshige immediately made two gestures to the surrounding fighter pilots.
More than 10 Falcon fighter jets next to the transport plane immediately engaged and flew towards the enemy plane.
Before the two sides could engage in a fight, three Falcon fighter jets were blasted in mid-air by dense machine guns from enemy aircraft.
The weapon system of the Falcon fighter is equipped with two 7.7mm machine guns, while the Saber fighter and Hellcat fighter are equipped with a 20mm cannon and a 12.7mm M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun.
In terms of weapons, the Falcon fighter was directly defeated.
The visitor is not good!
Naosaburo Okabe's expression suddenly changed.
He looked around, and fortunately, there were seven or eight Falcon fighter jets around.
These pilots did not run up and fight with the enemy like Leng Touqing.
Onda Kenshige piloted the lead aircraft and flew next to the nose of the transport aircraft, and gave the pilot of the transport aircraft a sign of landing immediately and escorting us.
The pilot of the transport plane nodded, then pulled the control stick, and the nose of the plane suddenly sank down.
The plane roared towards the airport on the ground.
However, at this moment, 10 Saber fighter jets suddenly emerged from the clouds behind them and rushed towards the transport aircraft and the surrounding Japanese Falcon fighter jets at extremely fast speeds.
…
at this time.
The Japanese flight formation was almost approaching Peiping Xijiao Airport.
The air battle attracted many civilians and Japanese troops on the ground to watch.
"Which plane is fighting the Japanese plane?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like a National Army aircraft."
"It's an Eighth Route Army plane."
"Eighth Route Army?"
"Didn't you see the Chinese character "horoscope" written on the fuselage?"
"Last time, it was these No. 8 planes that blew up the Japanese airport and planes in the western suburbs."
Seeing the Japanese planes being shot down one after another, the people in Peiping on the ground applauded and shouted.
"Well done!"
"Fuck him!"
…
Inside Peiping City.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
Ding ding ding——
The phone in the war room suddenly rang, and a combat staff officer on duty picked it up: "Moxi Moxi, this is the war hall of the headquarters."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Nani?"
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.
A moment later, Naosaburo Okabe's plane was unable to hide amid the large number of 20mm shells fired from the attack. The plane burst into flames, burning all the way, and plummeted towards the ground.
