I am helping

Beiping Xijiao Airport.

A KI57 transport plane and 24 Zero fighters landed on the runway of the airport one after another.

The Kwantung Army's 1st Flying Division Flying 1st Squadron was going to Peiping.

Therefore, the commander of the Kwantung Army arranged for the Flying First Team to escort Yoshimoto Sadaichi to Peiping.

As for after arriving in Peiping, Yoshimoto Sadaichi and the Flying 1st Squadron all belonged to the North China Front Army.

The door of the plane was opened, with a lieutenant general's sword on his left waist, a yellow woolen coat of the Kwantung Army, a lieutenant general's rank on his shoulder, and the same round-frame glasses as Okamura Neiji, an unsmiling Yoshimoto Teichi Appears at the hatch.

The devil's ground crew hurried forward to set up the ladder.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi walked down the ladder expressionlessly with a lieutenant general sword in his hand.

Yoshimoto Teiichi was born as a senior staff officer. He once served as the chief of staff of the 11th Army, the chief of staff of the Central China Dispatch Army, and the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.

When he was the chief of staff of the 11th Army, the commander of the 11th Army was Ningji Okamura.

Together with Ningji Okamura, he planned the Xiangdong offensive in the Fifth Theater and the Hunan-Jiangxi Battle in the Ninth Theater, that is, the Battle of Suizao and the first Battle of Changsha.

It's just that they failed to complete the mission due to insufficient combat troops and restrictions on the combat area.

This time, Okamura Ningji also applied to the base camp to transfer Yoshimoto Teichi from the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army to Shanxi as the commander of the First Army.

"Jimoto-kun, you have worked hard all the way."

As soon as he got off the plane, Yoshimoto Teiichi heard a deep and penetrating voice from behind.

Behind Jeongichi Yoshimoto, followed by an officer holding a major general's saber, Tadao Hironaka. Although this man had no real power in the Kwantung Army, he was Yoshimoto Jeongichi's confidant.

When Yoshimoto Sadaichi took office in the First Army, he naturally brought Major General Hongzhong Tadao along with him, as well as several combat staff officers.

Hearing this voice, Yoshimoto Sadaichi knew that Okamura Ningji had come to pick him up in person.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi turned around quickly, and sure enough, he saw Neiji Okamura, Moritake Tanabe, and Seizo Arisue standing on the other side of the transport plane.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi walked over quickly, with a look of surprise and excitement on his face:

"Your Excellency the Commander personally came to pick me up at the airport, which made me very excited."

But Yoshimoto Sadaichi felt a little indignant in his heart, the old guy Okamura Ningji was a little out of character!
Specially cheat old acquaintances.

The current First Army is a mess, and the Eighth Route Army may launch a large-scale offensive at any time to wipe out the First Army in Shanxi.

Even if the base camp mobilized five divisions to enter Shanxi.

With the main force of the First Army already wiped out, it is still difficult to change anything.

At this juncture, the lieutenant general who was transferred to the First Army as the commander will be blamed.

And it's a small matter to take the blame, and there is the danger of losing one's life.

Jeongichi Yoshimoto thought of last night when General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, held a farewell wine for him, his eyes seemed to send him to the execution ground, and Yoshimoto Jeongichi felt chills in his heart.

but.

Driven by the spirit of bushido and the mission of being loyal to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, Yoshimoto Teiichi never complained, and immediately rushed from Manchuria to North China to take up his post when the stipulated time came.

If someone else said that he was ill for a few months, or even shot himself and said that the gun had misfired, he would not have to be the commander of the First Army in North China.

Seeing Yoshimoto Teiichi's expression, Okamura Ningji was very excited: "Yoshimoto-kun, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your style is even better than before!"

"Your Excellency, General, praise."

Yoshimoto Sadaichi had a flattered expression.

"Yoshimoto-kun is tired from the long journey." Moritake Tanabe said, "The general has arranged banquets and singers for you, to welcome you."

Yoshimoto Sadaichi looked at Neiji Okamura: "Thank you, General!"

then.

The armored convoy was driven over, Yoshimoto Sadaichi was invited to board the armored vehicle, and the convoy, armed to the teeth, drove in the direction of Beiping City.

When he arrived at the North China Front Army Command, Okamura Ningji gave him a warm reception.

room.

Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo introduced to Yoshimoto Teiichi the remaining strength of the First Army and the situation they are facing.

If five divisions hadn't been transferred to Shanxi, only Taiyuan would be left in the First Army at this time.

Although he had heard about the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, but after he really learned the inside story, Yoshimoto Teiichi couldn't help but gasped.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi looked at Ningji Okamura and asked, "Your Excellency, when will I go to the First Army to be the commander?"

"It seems that Yoshimoto-kun can't wait to go to Shanxi to show his talents." Okamura Ningji smiled slightly and said, "In that case, Yoshimoto-kun will go to Taiyuan tomorrow and hand over to Iwamatsu-kun as soon as possible."

Hearing that he was going to Shanxi tomorrow, Yoshimoto Zhenyi panicked and pushed his round glasses:
"Your Excellency, I heard that the plane that Lieutenant General Kosao led the observation group was shot down by the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft artillery in Shanxi..."

With the lessons learned by Gushou, Yoshimoto was worried that he would be killed by the Eighth Route Army halfway.

After all, according to past experience, if a general goes to Shanxi, he will definitely be known by the Eighth Route Army.

He went to Shanxi to serve as the commander of the First Army, and he must be no exception.

If you want to be the commander of the First Army, you have to live to Taiyuan.

"You can rest assured, Yoshimoto-kun."

Neiji Okamura looked at Moritake Tanabe, and Moritake Tanabe, who was in charge of arranging the itinerary, had a confident expression:

"I have arranged for the air force to escort Mr. Yoshimoto with four of the most advanced Zero fighter jets. The route can be changed at any time. In addition, I have sent a telegram to the First Army. At that time, the 4th Division will deploy defenses around Taiyuan Wusu Airport. As soon as the plane lands, the most elite special agent team of the First Army will protect Mr. Yoshimoto 5 hours a day, so Mr. Yoshimoto doesn't have to worry about safety."

Generally, transport aircraft fly without fighter escort.

If there are important items and important people on the transport plane, it is usually escorted by 2 fighter jets.

This time there are actually 4 fighters, and they are escorted by the most advanced Zero fighters. This security level is already very high!

Even when Japanese Admiral Yamamoto 56 was shot down, there were only 6 Zero fighters escorting him.

"Yo Xi!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi:
"Then thank you Tanabe-kun!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi picked up the wine glass and bumped one with Neiji Okamura and Moritake Tanabe, and then drank the sake in the glass in one gulp.

On the side, Yusue Jingsan, the deputy chief of staff, ignored him and drank alone there.

Suddenly, Youmo Jingsan was stunned.

The conversation between Moritake Tanabe and Teiichi Yoshimoto gave him a sense of familiarity.

Back then when Gushou went to the North China Front in Beiping, he planned to go to the First Army to observe and inspect. That's how Moritake Tanabe and Gushou talked.

Almost exactly the same.

Yusue Seizo looked at Moritake Tanabe, could it be...

……

Zhaojiayu.

The regiment headquarters of the new regiment.

When Li Shaorong, captain of the aviation team, received the order and arrived at the regiment headquarters in a jeep, there was already a room full of people in the regiment headquarters.

Li Shaorong, who participated in the Xinyi Regiment's battle meeting for the first time, still didn't know what it meant.

He thought it was just a simple regular meeting.

But when Li Shaorong sat down, looking at the serious expressions on everyone's faces, he instantly realized that this was not a simple regular meeting, but a combat meeting.

"Head, is this a battle meeting?"

"About that combat mission?"

Thinking of this, Li Shaorong couldn't wait to ask.

On the day he led the flying brigade back in the plane, Li Yunlong revealed to Li Shaorong that the flying brigade would have a combat mission in the near future.

However, Li Yunlong didn't tell him too much at that time, he only told the flight team to be ready for battle at any time.

Li Shaorong is full of energy, the first battle of the flying brigade must be played well!

This wait is ten days.

"Yes, the task of your flying brigade is here."

Li Yunlong looked at Li Shaorong and nodded, without unnecessary nonsense, straight to the point, with a serious tone:

"Just received reliable information that Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi, the chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and a Japanese major general will fly to Taiyuan from Beiping Xijiao Airport at noon tomorrow."

"The combat mission of your flight squadron is to kill Yoshimoto Zhenichi and Major General Devil on the way!"

Li Shaorong's eyes lit up suddenly, the first combat mission of the flying brigade was to kill the devil lieutenant general and major general! ?
"Don't worry, Captain, our flight team promises to complete the mission."

Li Shaorong couldn't help clenching his right fist when he thought of flying a Saber fighter jet to kill the lieutenant general and major general carrying devils, and blowing them up in mid-air.

"You guys, don't rush to express your opinion. This is the detailed information about the travel of Yoshimoto Teiichi and Major General Guizi. You can take a look first."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong pushed a stack of intelligence materials in front of Li Shaorong.

In the intelligence data, there are not only detailed information on Yoshimoto Teiichi and Hironaka Tadao, but also the crimes committed by these two old devils in China.

More importantly, there are very detailed information about the transport plane that Yoshimoto Teiichi and Hironaka Tadao took, as well as the time of take-off from Beiping Airport, and the escorting Devil fighter jets.

Regarding air volleys, it is not an easy task.

The airspace, time, and flight speed of both sides of the interception must be accurate, and if there is a slight difference, the opportunity will be lost.

But after reading the intelligence materials, Li Shaorong's expression became serious: "Leader, I still say the same thing, the flight team promises to complete the mission."

"very good!"

For Li Shaorong's statement, Li Yunlong looked very satisfied:
"In addition to shooting down the plane that Yoshimoto was on, your flight team also has combat missions."

While speaking, Li Yunlong pushed another stack of information materials on the table to Li Shaorong.

"There are still combat missions?"

Li Shaorong's eyes lit up again.

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong's tone was harsh:
"As the saying goes, the first to strike first."

"While killing Yoshimoto Teiichi, all the fighter jets, attack planes and reconnaissance planes of your flying brigade were dispatched to raid the Japanese army's Taiyuan Wusu Airport, Baoding Airport, Xinxiang Airport and Beiping's Xijiao Airport."

"Most of the planes of the North China Front Army are at Xinxiang Airport in Beiping. The main combat objective of your flying brigade is to destroy the Beiping Xijiao Airport and the Japanese aircraft at the Beiping Xijiao Airport!"

After Yoshimoto Teiichi's plane was shot down, the devils would know that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with planes.

Once prepared, it will be difficult to attack the devil's airport again.

After listening to Li Yunlong's introduction to the combat mission, Li Shaorong picked up the intelligence materials again and looked at them.

In the intelligence data, there are information about the locations of the Japanese airports, the situation of anti-aircraft firepower, the distribution of hangars, oil depots, and hangars, as well as the number of Japanese aircraft, the serial numbers of the Japanese aviation units, and the number of infantry garrisons. Everything is available.

"Isn't this information too detailed!?" Li Shaorong secretly sighed.

Putting down the intelligence materials, Li Shaorong looked serious, and said: "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment and the political commissars, our flight team will definitely complete the task smoothly!" (End of this chapter)
