Fan Zigang lowered the nose of the plane and once again dodged another wave of bullet attacks. He thought that the ammunition of the Japanese fighter jets that were biting in the back of the pursuit should have been almost consumed. He also heard that Zhang Hanmou next to him had contacted Bengbu Airport, and he was very happy.
, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred:
A Japanese fighter plane suddenly appeared in front of the plane. As soon as they met, the enemy's nose spurted out crazy tongues of flames, causing fragments to shoot out from the front of the cockpit of the AN5 passenger plane. The high-strength bulletproof glass curtain wall was instantly penetrated, and there was a "clang" sound.
Everything was smashed into pieces, and the entire cockpit was quickly occupied by strong winds and torrential rain.
Almost at the same time, the co-pilot Zhang Hanmou had been shot. His chest and abdomen were almost covered with bullet holes, and he was bleeding profusely. The intercom in his hand fell with a "pop" and he fell down on the bridge.
His eyes widened with anger, and he passed away unwillingly and with hatred.
Fan Zigang was also hit by several bullets, and his head and face were scratched to pieces by glass fragments. Fortunately, he was not shot in the head. Although his clothes were instantly stained red with blood, he was still very conscious, which made people almost feel confused.
In the suffocating violent airflow, I pressed the nose of the plane almost subconsciously, and immediately the plane rushed straight downwards in a dive again.
Because the descent speed was too fast, the passenger plane that was falling in a straight line made a "whining" sound, and the entire fuselage immediately shook violently.
The Japanese fighter plane, which was originally at the back but luckily succeeded in bypassing the front, showed no mercy and continued to shoot wildly, hitting the tail wing of the A5 passenger plane that was already descending rapidly, sending out strings of sparks.
In the cabin, An Yi had just regained his composure and was comforting Ye Qing and Zhou Ziwei who had recovered their breath. He tried his best to reach out to Zhou Ziwei who was sitting on the other side of the aisle. Ye Qing's blue hand was trembling slightly.
Holding An Yi's hands tightly together, Zhou Ziwei didn't know what she was thinking, but she also covered her two cold little hands.
At this moment, our pulses are connected, and the distance between our hearts seems to have become closer than ever.
Before that, Shen Fengdao was collecting the bodies of the four dead guards, carrying them one by one to the seats in front, and then fastening their seat belts one by one on their bodies that were not completely stiff.
When the porthole broke, the wave of glass fragments was violently attacked by the strong wind. If the four guards hadn't stepped forward and absorbed most of it with their bodies, the rapidly rotating glass fragments would have been no less powerful than the sharp blades.
Know what terrible consequences it will bring.
Suddenly, the plane turned again and dived straight down. Shen Fengdao was stunned for a moment and tried his best to keep his body stable. He turned his head and looked out the window. He happened to see the fleeting afterimage of the Japanese fighter plane and screamed in fright.
:
"Everyone keep your heads down...the enemy is attacking..."
As soon as Shen Fengdao finished speaking, a "cracking" sound came from the rear of the fuselage, as dense as fried beans exploding. Fortunately, the AN5 passenger plane landed in time, and all the bullets fell on the tail fin, and did not hit the already overwhelmed cabin wall.
Bullet holes were left on it, causing Shen Fengdao to break out in a cold sweat.
"No, the plane keeps descending and doesn't lift... No, something must have happened to Fan Zigang and the others. I have to go take a look!"
In the sharp screams of Ye Qing and Zhou Ziwei, An Yi felt that his body was in a vertical downward state for a long time. He was shocked and wanted to reach out to unbuckle his seat belt.
At this time, Shen Fengdao rushed over with a strange figure, held down An Yi's hand, and shouted: "It's too late, the plane is only two kilometers from the ground... You can't unfasten the seat belt, otherwise you will It will fall straight down and hit the cabin wall in front... We can only listen to God's arrangements now..."
When the plane was more than 500 meters away from the water surface of Weishan Lake below, Fan Zigang, who was already dying, suddenly opened his eyes and once again used all his strength to yank the nose of the plane. The A5 passenger plane made a huge roar and miraculously crashed. When heading towards the water, it reversed its direction and rushed towards the windy and turbulent lake at an angle of thirty degrees.
At the moment it entered the water, the fuselage shook violently, splashing water tens of meters high. The portholes on both sides of the cabin could no longer withstand such a huge impact. They cracked "bang bang bang" and glass fragments shot everywhere. At the same time, , An Yi, Ye Qing, Zhou Ziwei and a group of guards were all in this violent impact. Together with the seat belts that were torn by the huge impact, their bodies were ejected high like a parabola and hit the rear of the cabin heavily. When they fell, He didn't even have time to hum before he lost consciousness.
Only Shen Fengdao kept his mind clear. At first, his feet were firmly nailed to the cabin wall like lead, and he tried his best to keep his body motionless. Later, when a huge earthquake came, he changed his mind and took advantage of the plane and the lake. With the huge impact accumulated during the collision, his legs suddenly moved like lightning and kicked hard towards the rear of the cabin. Only a dense and harsh pedaling sound of "dang, dang, dang" could be heard.
"Click——"
The entire tail of the passenger plane's cabin, together with the tail fin that was filled with holes left by bullets, separated from the fuselage. The cabin was completely opened, and dense rain poured down from the sky at once.
"boom--"
At this time, there was a sudden loud explosion on the lake more than fifty meters away from the crash site of the AN5 passenger plane. It turned out that the Japanese pilots who were following the passenger plane and attacking did not calculate the distance to the horizon in the rain curtain, and the fighter plane was not affected by it. Control, he also fell into the lake. Due to the excessive acceleration, huge energy was released, and the fuel in the fuel tank ignited quickly, causing a violent explosion.
At an altitude of 2,000 meters, I saw the flames splashing into the sky from the lake below. The two Japanese pilots circled around the lake in the violent wind and rain, quickly raised the altitude of the fighter plane, and left as if they were escaping from the plague. In the eyes of the Japanese pilots , a fighter plane and a passenger plane must have collided together to cause such a violent explosion on the lake. Two fighter planes were damaged in what was originally a very simple mission, making the Japanese pilots unwilling to stay too long in such bad weather. Can't wait to cross the clouds and enjoy the sunshine.
Shen Fengdao couldn't care so much at this time. He didn't even think about the threat of Japanese fighter planes in the sky. Looking at the lake water pouring in quickly from the portholes on both sides of the fuselage, he hurriedly took out two dry flat sheets from the emergency box of the passenger plane. The shrunken plastic air cushion and a woolen rope jumped out of the holed tail of the cabin like lightning, and stepped on the slowly sinking fuselage. First, I took out a plastic air cushion and took a deep breath, like a Taoist lion practicing on daily basis. Just like the roaring skills, a large amount of air is blown into the air cushion, and then the valve is held and another deep breath is taken in, and then quickly exhaled. Repeat this five or six times, and soon a hovercraft that can accommodate five or six people is formed.
Shen Fengdao pressed the valve tightly and hurriedly returned to the rapidly sinking cabin. With one arm in each hand, he first held An Yi and Ye Qing, who had blood on their faces, under his armpits. He yelled and put his feet on the cabin that was not yet soaked in water. He clicked on the back seat, shot out like an arrow from the string, and landed steadily on the hovercraft outside.
Shen Fengdao breathed a sigh of relief, spread An Yi and Ye Qing on the hovercraft, quickly returned to the cabin, put Zhou Ziwei and another guard, who were also alive and dead, onto the hovercraft, and then rescued two more guards.
Seeing that the passenger plane was sinking at an accelerating rate, Shen Fengdao did not dare to neglect and blew another hovercraft into shape. The remaining five guards who were still alive were also sent to the hovercraft.
At this time, the plane was already submerged, and the bodies of the four dead guards could no longer be rescued. Shen Fengdao paid a moment of silence to the water where a lot of bubbles were coming out, and hurriedly took out the woolen rope from his body and tied the two hovercrafts together. Then, braving the heavy rain, he used his hands and feet to lead the two boats and swam towards the faintly visible land in the distance.
...
Nanjing, Guofu West Courtyard on Zhongshan Road.
Listening to the sound of rain hitting the plantains outside the window, and looking at the hateful face of Japanese Ambassador Yoshida Shigeru opposite, Chiang Kai-shek felt a sense of irritation in his heart.
Starting at four o'clock this morning, in the waters above Jiujiang, the Jiang Defense Force dispatched all ships to intercept Japanese merchant ships. At the same time, they bombarded three Japanese warships that tried to break through, causing two to sink and another to suffer heavy damage. The remaining Japanese warships Under the threat of a large number of bombers dispatched by the Southwest Air Force, the ship did not dare to resist. It was detained by the Jiang Defense Force and then concentrated with the merchant ships towards Yichang. Nearly 10,000 Japanese expatriates were also sent to the refugee camp set up in Qiaobian Town on the other side of Yichang. .
At nine o'clock in the morning, Japanese Ambassador Yoshida Shigeru rushed to the national government and submitted a solemn letter of resignation to the Nanjing government. Only yesterday he delivered a "No Compromise" speech to the national media, emphasizing that the Chinese people would sacrifice together and leave no puppet seeds. No matter whether it is a big town or a remote village, it will turn people and the land into ashes, leaving the enemy with nothing. Wang Jingwei seems to have completely forgotten yesterday's impassioned speech. After some apology, he felt that he could not solve the Anjiajun matter. , he led Shigeru Yoshida to Chiang Kai-shek's office, and then Chiang Kai-shek enjoyed a hysterical feast of sound and sight.
From the bottom of his heart, Chiang Kai-shek was somewhat dissatisfied with Yoshida Shigeru's rebellion. Now the two countries are fighting life and death in North China, not to mention anything else, just the three northeastern provinces. I don't know how many Chinese people have fallen under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders. The Chinese Navy took coercive measures against Japanese ships and nationals who were preparing to flee, but it was nothing more than a big witch. Moreover, there was a bottom line for this operation. If the Japanese Emperor publicly promised not to take action in Shanghai, or the Japanese base camp publicly stated its position , in North China, if we actively withdraw our troops and make concessions in accordance with the requirements of the "Tanggu Agreement", we can achieve the release of hostages and ships.
However, at this moment, Yoshida Shigeru is nothing but intimidation. It seems that it is natural for the Japanese to initiate a war, and that the Chinese's preemptive strike is an open challenge to the international order and justice. It is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
However, Chiang Kai-shek had no way to express his dissatisfaction, because shortly after taking action against Japanese ships and foreign nationals in the early morning, U.S. Secretary of State Hull, British Foreign Secretary Eden, and German Ambassador Todd Mann all called or called Chiang Kai-shek to express their opinions. Britain, the United States and other countries are worried about the war situation between China and Japan, and require the Chinese government to exercise restraint on the issue with Japan and not to over-stimulate the Japanese government, causing the situation in the Far East to continue to deteriorate.
Shortly after Chiang Kai-shek arrived at the West Courtyard of the Kuomintang in the morning, U.S. Ambassador Johnson personally visited Chiang Kai-shek and expressed the U.S. government's intention to request the Nationalist Government to release people and ships, which made Chiang Kai-shek, who was in urgent need of support from the international community, extremely passive.
After enduring Yoshida Shigeru's roar for half an hour, the conference room door was pushed open from the outside. Qian Dajun, the first director of the Attendant's Room, rushed in with a panicked expression. Ignoring Yoshida Shigeru's eyes-rolling glare, he stammered a report to Chiang Kai-shek.
:
"School... Principal... An... General An's special plane... was... on the way back to Nanjing... was...
The Japanese fighter plane was shot down...and its whereabouts are unknown..."
"What!?"
Chiang Kai-shek suddenly stood up, feeling pain in his heart as if a piece of flesh had been cut out. The teacup he held in his hand fell on the desk with a clang, and the *** letter submitted by Kawagoe Shigeru was instantly submerged in the tea.
