In the early morning of December 17, 1938.

The mountain city was as quiet as usual, and the people had already fallen asleep. However, in the mountains of the South Bank area, countless people hid in the trees and stared at the dark night sky with wide eyes.

Zuo Zhong and Lao Dai were also among them. The master and apprentice stood at the entrance of a cave, stretching their heads out to observe the southeast direction from time to time, with anxious expressions on their faces.

This is already the third day they have been waiting for the Japanese bombers. Three days ago, Wei Daming, director of the Military Telecommunications Department, personally repaired three signal guidance towers and installed them in this mountain.

The military even spent a lot of money and mobilized three anti-aircraft units and dozens of German-made and Swiss-made anti-aircraft guns of various calibers, which were deployed on the nearby mountain tops to prepare for the arrival of the Japanese.

In someone's words, the Japanese must be taught an unforgettable lesson. It is understandable, after all, no one wants to be bombed into the sky while sleeping, and he does not want to have another slumber party.

Lao Dai looked a little irritated while looking at the twinkling starry sky. After a long time, he asked Zuo Zhong: "Shenzhu, do you think the Japanese will be fooled? What if the news of Wu Xiwen's arrest leaks and they stop coming?"

"Teacher, please sit down." Zuo Zhong brought a small horse and put it at Lao Dai's feet, and then patiently explained: "The student thinks this is unlikely. If it is true, Wu Xiwen will not be so nervous.

Besides, I have already had someone reveal to the public that our search of the official residence has yielded no results. The Japanese are so adventurous that they will definitely take a gamble when they receive the news, because the benefits of a successful bombing are too great."

Lao Dai nodded slightly. This is true. Once the assassination operation against the enemy's leader is successful, it will have a great change in the situation, especially since there is a certain Ji in the top brass of the national government who has an eye-catching relationship with the Japanese.

For Lao Dai, neither spies nor underground gangs are important. What is important is someone's attitude. If his immediate boss wants to kill someone with a knife, he will naturally not have any objection.

Gui Youguang waved his hand, and groups of agents equipped with submachine guns and police dogs rushed out. The continuous barking of dogs brought Lao Dai back to his senses and pulled Zuo Zhong aside.

They had trained this attack procedure countless times in Xiaoliuqiu and were very familiar with it. When the countdown clock jumped to the last frame, the navigator shouted without raising his head.

"Shen Zhi, very good. The Japanese have indeed fallen into the trap. We have finally lived up to the expectations of the commission. Setting the false target in the mountains and using the terrain to eliminate the enemy is a stroke of genius."

Lao Dai, who was on the ground with his hands on his hips, watched the streaks of flames passing by the Japanese planes swinging left and right. The smile on his face never stopped. After grinning in joy for a while, he turned around and looked at his proud disciple.

Feeling relieved, he sat down on the horse and chatted with Zuo Zhong about his daily life. This is also a kind of leadership art. Talking about personal matters can bring closer the relationship between bosses and subordinates than talking about business matters.

"Thirty seconds to prepare."

Upon seeing this, Zuo Zhong called Gui Youguang's name and ordered the other party to arrest them. At the beginning of the plan, he had anticipated the possibility of the Japanese parachuting and had already prepared a search team.

"Boom~"

Next to the rangefinder, a staff officer of the air defense force communicated with the observer while holding a microphone and passing the firing elements to the surrounding air defense artillery groups, ready to fire at any time.

Around 10 o'clock last night, a truck loaded with Mr. Ji's gold, silver, soft goods, daily necessities, important books and official documents left the mountain city under the escort of secretaries and guards.

Without the threat overhead, the air defense troops turned on their searchlights to scan the combat airspace, and soon discovered several white parachutes staggering towards the ground.

"Return to the light, take action."

The pilot wearing a flight hat listened to the sound from behind, looked out the window at the dark ground, adjusted the rudder flexibly with his feet, and accelerated little by little according to the route guided by the guidance console.

While the two were talking, a ball of fire suddenly lit up on the wing of the plane, and then it fell into the mountains. At this point, the two 96 land attack aircraft that the Japanese had placed high hopes on all crashed.

Thinking of the seriousness of this matter, he immediately wanted to report it to someone, but was stopped by Zuo Zhong. The master and the apprentice murmured in the corner for a long time, and Lao Dai's expression changed again and again.

Not to mention other things, the two 96 land attack aircraft carried 1,600 kilograms of aerial bombs alone. In order to completely kill someone, the Japanese, who had always been stingy, finally became generous.

As long as these two planes are shot down, the Japanese will definitely liquidate Wu Xiwen's family to ashes. Wu Xiwen will have to surrender unless he is willing to cut off his descendants.

After two loud noises, a large crater was blown out of an open space in the middle of the valley. A bright light flashed on the mountainside not far away, and the dull sound of explosions continued to echo in the mountains.

But Zuo Zhong had been preparing for so long, how could he let the opponent run away? Following the air defense staff's order, dozens of anti-aircraft guns unleashed their firepower into the sky, and the night sky was illuminated by countless tracer bullets.

The season is approaching heavy snow, and northwest winds are whistling and blowing from the fast-moving Jialingjiang. It is freezing and the heavily guarded Coral Dam Airport is full of patrolling soldiers.

The dive phase was fleeting. The pilot on one of the bombers glanced at the windshield at the last second before dropping the bomb. His pupils suddenly dilated, and he pulled the control stick with all his strength and roared at the top of his lungs.

After hearing this, Zuo Zhong looked around and whispered back: "Don't worry, teacher, I have sent Gu Qi and Song Minghao's second office there, and they sent back a message before.

Hiss~

Lao Dai's head was buzzing as he heard it. This was clearly an attempt to escape. No, if he was just escaping, there was no need to be so cautious. The second-in-command in the government was obviously going to surrender to the enemy.

According to the intelligence we have received, the destination is likely to be Kunming. In addition, there is also movement at the Coral Dam Civil Airport, and a passenger plane full of fuel is parked next to the runway."

"Touch the mountain!"

"Boom~"

Zuo Zhong shook his head modestly, and started to flatter me: "It's all teacher, you commanded well and won the battle thousands of miles away. The students just did a trivial job, so they don't deserve such praise."

"Twenty seconds to prepare."

Lao Dai asked with a serious expression. It is almost certain that someone Ji is colluding with the Japanese. Now that the Japanese plane has been shot down, the other party is likely to take any action. This is a serious political issue that military commanders must pay attention to.

According to the plan, the plane will fly over the target in ten seconds. As long as the aerial bomb is dropped, they will become heroes who change history and the war situation. All the Japanese in the cabin are excited.

The two 96 land attack aircraft immediately lowered their noses and dived toward the ground one after the other. The sweating pilot pushed the throttle to the bottom, held the control stick with both hands, and stared at the altimeter.

"assault!!"

Under the hazy moonlight, I saw a mountain ridge getting closer and closer. The pilot who struggled to control the plane to climb did not understand why there were obstacles on the flight path. There was obviously nothing during the last bombing.

According to intelligence from Xiaoliuqiu, Shanghai and frontline troops, the bomber currently used by the Japanese army is a Mitsubishi Type 96 land attack aircraft with a crew of 7, a range of 4,400 kilometers, a ceiling of 9,200 meters, and a maximum take-off weight of 8 tons.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a shout came from outside: "Night navigation lights were found in the southeast direction, two in number, altitude 3,000, distance 10,000, speed 160 knots, accelerating."

In the end, he did not go to find someone. Instead, he looked at Guo Jun who was cleaning the battlefield and said, "It's going to rain. My mother is going to get married." Then he left, and left all the tasks related to Ji to Zuo Zhong to handle.

At this time, each of the two Japanese bombers in the night sky had a navigator wearing an earphone, carefully listening to the signals from the signal control station, and constantly reporting to the pilots in the cockpit.

The other 96 land attack plane was lucky enough to not encounter any mountains on its route. After discovering that its companion had hit the mountain, it immediately dropped bombs to reduce weight and speed up in an attempt to escape. In this case, any fool would know that this was a trap.

"Hahaha, you." Lao Dai laughed and pointed at him, his eyes returning to the sky. The second Japanese plane struggled to hold on under the intensive anti-aircraft firepower, and its fuselage was hit in many places.

Zuo Zhong came to Lao Dai and quietly watched the bombers getting closer and closer. His heart was extremely calm. After waiting for several days, he finally saw the real owner. Now it was up to the air defense force.

"Twenty-five seconds to prepare."

The aircraft's maneuverability was enhanced after the weight reduction. It should have successfully recovered from the dive and ascended to escape. Unfortunately, it was too late. Amidst the pilot's desperate roar, the bomber directly hit the mountain.

"Is there any problem with people named Ji?"

"Yes! Deputy seat."

Three soldiers of the Fruit Army were lying on a long air defense rangefinder. They loudly reported the number, height, distance and speed of the targets. At the same time, they slowly adjusted the rangefinder and continued to observe. (There are easter eggs)

Lao Dai suddenly stood up, lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked outside. He soon discovered that there were several dim and bright lights in the southeast sky approaching quickly. Just as they guessed, the Japanese were really coming!

"Listen to my order and prepare tracer rounds."

As soon as the flight crew members heard the warning, their bodies were pressed tightly against their seats in the next second. Under the huge overload, blood flowed from the head to the abdomen and legs, and the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood increased rapidly.

Everyone's eyes began to darken, but as the elite of the Japanese Army Air Force, they still did not forget their mission at this time. The pilot suppressed his headache and pressed the bomb release button, and the bomb immediately detached from the bomb hook.

After confirming that the aircraft was on the correct course, the navigator stared at his watch, judged the distance between the aircraft and the target through the signal strength of the auxiliary signal guidance station, and kept counting down in his mouth.

"The teacher was so complimentary."

8:00 a.m. on December 18, 1938.

The engines are two 1075-horsepower air-cooled engines manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with a maximum speed of 375 kilometers per hour. They are equipped with three 7.7 mm machine guns, a 20 mm caliber cannon, and 800 kg aerial bombs or torpedoes.

A jeep drove quickly to the runway and stopped. Three men and one woman got out of the car one after another. They all looked around and moved furtively. Five minutes later, another black car came.

The frustrated Mr. Ji and his wife got out of the car and walked to the plane with his confidants who had arrived first. When the guards at the plane saw the arrival of the vice president, they did not dare to stop him and quickly pulled up the gangway.

Ji hurriedly boarded the gangway, looked back at Shancheng halfway, then sighed and got into the cabin, while the other people climbed onto the plane as if they were running for their lives, not daring to delay at all.

One minute later, the plane roared from the runway and leapt into the sky, flying to the distant Kunming, taking Ji, who said that he could make a quick start and lived up to his youthful reputation, into an unknown future.
