Although the roar of the engine was not loud, it could be heard far away in such a quiet environment, and soon both guards and prisoners in the prison camp noticed it.
"Look...it's a plane!"
Everyone followed the sound of the plane and looked, and soon a small and exquisite figure appeared in front of everyone.
As time goes by, the Canghe ultralight reconnaissance aircraft, an aircraft known for its dexterity and ruggedness, has become more and more popular among the officers and soldiers of the Liantai Militia.
It can not only carry out medium and short-range reconnaissance, but also has the performance of concealment, lightness and flexibility, especially in complex terrain, it is like a duck in water.
Especially those highly skilled pilots have maximized the performance of this aircraft.
For example, after discovering the prisoner-of-war camp on the ground, the plane in the sky quickly lowered its altitude, and the entire plane flew almost close to the treetops and passed over the prisoner-of-war camp.
It was only then that the guards in the prisoner of war camp hurriedly raised their guns and shot into the sky.
"Bang...bang bang..."
"Dong dong dong..."
For a while, the sounds of Type 38 rifles and Type 92 heavy machine guns came one after another, making it very lively.
But it is a pity that, let alone the Type 38 rifle, it is almost impossible for a heavy machine gun like the Type 92 to deal with the aircraft that are constantly moving flexibly in the sky.
In the prisoner-of-war camp, tens of thousands of prisoners-of-war watched this light aircraft flying over the prisoner-of-war camp at low altitude like a dragonfly in an almost provocative manner. You can imagine the excitement in their hearts. of.
Especially when they clearly saw the bright and dazzling blue sky and white sun badge under the wing of this reconnaissance plane, bursts of warm cheers broke out in the prisoner of war camp.
"idiot"
The top commander of the prisoner of war camp, Major Ryu Kuribayashi, who hurriedly ran out of his office, looked at the Sokaku ultralight reconnaissance aircraft that almost passed over his head and cursed in anger.
"Are you all stupid pigs? Give me the correct answer!"
After that, he grabbed a Japanese soldier who was passing by him, grabbed the Type 38 rifle from his hand, and fired all the bullets in the barrel toward the plane in the sky.
However, Ribayashi Kashiryu's behavior was just venting his anger at best.
Although the Canghe's maximum speed is only 175 kilometers per hour, it is not easy to hit an aircraft that maneuvers in a snake-like shape and flies close to the treetops, disappearing and appearing.
While all the Japanese troops were desperately shooting at the reconnaissance plane, no one noticed that the plane had already flown over the prisoner of war camp.
Immediately, a flash of fire was seen at the tail of the aircraft, and the MG 15 7.92mm machine gun installed on the tail of the Canghe reconnaissance aircraft fired.
A dense barrage of bullets was fired at the Japanese soldiers who were shooting at it. At this time, hundreds of soldiers who had just arrived from various places were standing in the open space of the prisoner of war camp.
After a dense stream of bullets fell, a burst of screams rang out in the prisoner-of-war camp, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were holding rifles and shooting into the air fell in a pool of blood.
And what made the Japanese army most angry was that after the reconnaissance plane flew over the prisoner of war camp, it slipped away without looking back... slipped away...
Actually, the Japanese in the prisoner-of-war camp were not given any chance to regain their position.
This wave of operations directly made all the Japanese guards in the prisoner-of-war camp extremely angry, especially the person in charge of the prisoner-of-war camp, Kuribayashi Hashiryu, whose face turned purple with anger.
On the other hand, the prisoners in the prison camp were exactly the opposite. Although they did not dare to cheer loudly, there was a hint of blush on their originally numb and haggard faces.
It is the desire for life and the yearning to leave here.
A few minutes later
Ribayashi Kashiryu finally raised his eyes from the body lying in a pool of blood. With a ferocious look on his face, he pulled out his command sword and walked to a prisoner of war. Just as he was about to raise his command sword and strike him down, something came to his ears.
Come on a voice.
"Major Kuribayashi Ryū, I wouldn't do this if I were you!"
When Li Linqiaolong looked up, he saw Qi Xueqi standing looking at him quietly.
"Baga, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Seeing Qi Xueqi, Li Linqiaolong's anger that he couldn't vent seemed to have found a target. He walked up to Qi Xueqi in three steps and said fiercely.
"Have you forgotten what I told you just now?"
Without waiting for Qi Xueqi's reply, he roared ferociously: "I said that as long as you try to escape or do anything that harms the prisoner of war camp, you will be punished.
If you run away, I will kill ten people. Now thirteen warriors of the empire have been killed by your planes, so we have to kill one hundred and thirty of you, do you understand?"
Instead of being afraid, Qi Xueqi sneered and pointed to the south: "If you want to kill people, you can go south, it's less than a hundred kilometers away.
You will definitely encounter the troops of our expeditionary force. When the time comes, you can kill not only 130 people, but 1,300 people.
I just ask you if you dare to lead your troops to find our expeditionary force for a decisive battle?"
Qi Xueqi's words immediately stopped Li Linqiao Long from questioning, and he was speechless for a moment.
Today, the size of the Japanese guards in the Mandalay Prisoner of War Camp is a brigade with a total of more than 1,100 prisoners. Such a number of people is naturally enough to guard more than 10,000 prisoners of war.
But if he really led these people to fight against the expeditionary force as Qi Xueqi said, no matter how smart he was, Ribayashi Qiaolong knew that it would definitely be a death-defying act.
He stared at Qi Xueqi, his nostrils constantly shrinking, like a ferocious jackal staring at his prey, as if he was about to pounce and tear it into pieces at any time.
But Qi Xueqi still looked calm and calm when facing Li Linqiaolong's fierce gaze, as if he was saying: Come on, kill me if you can.
Of course, Li Linqiaolong did not dare to kill Qi Xueqi. He was not stupid. Of course, he knew that Qi Xueqi, as the captured expeditionary force, not only had the highest rank, but also registered in the 33rd Army. If he really wanted to kill him, he would
Lieutenant General Duo Zhengcai will never spare himself.
He turned around and strode towards his office.
Seeing that Li Linqiaolong finally left, Qi Xueqi and the surrounding prisoners also breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when they thought everything was alright, Kuribayashi Hashiryu, who was walking next to a prisoner of the expeditionary force, suddenly pulled out his command sword and struck him with a sword.
The sword flashed and blood spurted out from the prisoner's neck. Then the prisoner fell to the ground without saying a word.
And just when Ribayashi Qiaolong was killing people to vent his anger.
Rangoon Expeditionary Force Headquarters
"What, you said we discovered that the Japanese army had a prisoner-of-war camp in Mandalay, where a large number of prisoners were held?"
"Yes, sir."
A staff officer replied, "This is the intelligence sent back by our reconnaissance plane an hour ago. Here are the developed photos."
After that, the staff officer handed a stack of photos to Gao Hongming.
