Chapter 351 Reporter Observation Group

About 15:00 pm on July 3, 1939 AD

"Buzz buzz..."

A group of aircraft appeared in the sky. This was a group of four DC-3 passenger planes and twelve fighter planes. They were slowly moving southeastward in the sky of four thousand meters. [This article comes from]

In a DC-3 passenger plane in the middle, there are a group of blond foreigners sitting. They are both men and women. Most of them are wearing simple suits or vests. At this moment, many of them are sitting in their seats with great interest.

were discussing in English.

A young man with silver hair in his twenties pointed out the window and said curiously: "Hey... John, have you noticed? The shapes of the planes outside are really strange. I have never seen this type of aircraft before."

I have seen it, do you know which country it was produced in?"

John, who was sitting aside, shook his head, "Jack, you're asking me a question. I don't know about this either. This kind of aircraft first appeared in China's 300th Army. The Chinese called it the Thunder Fighter. As for what he is?

I don’t know which country it was produced in, but judging from its shape, it looks like our American style.”

Jack also frowned and said: "Yes, I also think these aircraft look familiar. Look at its fuselage, flaps, etc., the style is very similar to our American aircraft."

John also said: "Jack, it is similar to the style of our American aircraft, but it is just too ugly!"

"Haha..." The two of them laughed at the same time. The appearance of the escort fighter outside was indeed not very good. It was thick and short like a carrot. When it came to escort just now, it was made fun of by the reporters in the cabin.

.

While a man was discussing, a blond woman in her mid-twenties interrupted their conversation and asked: "John, Jack, I think you would rather waste your time discussing something you are not familiar with."

It’s better to think more about how to conduct interviews after arriving in Guangzhou. Otherwise, if you can’t get news that satisfies Old Tom and Old Bate, I’m sure they will kick you out on the street without hesitation.

.”

The woman's name is Caitriona Cullors, a senior reporter for the Associated Press. The two men next to her are John and Jack, reporters from the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. The old Tom and Jack that Caitriona said are

Old Bate is their respective editor-in-chief.

After hearing what Caitriona said, the two of them smiled sheepishly and stopped talking.

After a while, Jack couldn't help but ask: "Miss Caitlina, do you think the Three Hundred Army can really regain Guangzhou this time?"

Caitlina shrugged her shoulders. "Only God probably knows this question. We are just reporters, not generals. As long as we can truthfully report the battle in Guangzhou, don't you think so?"

John on the side couldn't help but praise: "Haha...Miss Caitriona is truly a senior reporter of the Associated Press. She sees the issues thoroughly."

In response to the compliments from her companions, Caitlina just smiled and remained silent. This time they came to Guangzhou very unexpectedly. Originally, their mission was to go to Chongqing to attend a press conference held by the National Government. Many reporters came in droves,

I wanted to personally take a picture of the captured Lieutenant General Saito Ritsaburo. You must know that this was the first captured general since the launch of Huari. Who knew that the situation suddenly changed and Saito Ritsaburo was actually captured?

Before they boarded the plane, the Nationalist Government was still arguing with the Japanese government. Both sides accused the other of killing Ritsaburo Saito.

Although the Japanese government also criticized the Nationalist government and said that he killed Saito Ritsaburo, there are not many smart people in this world. The Nationalist government has already captured him. Is it stupid enough to kill him?

I think only kindergarten children would believe such despicable lies.

Although everyone knows who did the good deeds, things in the world are so ridiculous. They know that the Japanese must have sent people to kill people. But before the matter was exposed and there was evidence, the media from various countries

Choose silence.

Moreover, the Japanese killed Risaburo Saito. The next person to be embarrassed was the National Government, the organizer of the press conference. They originally wanted to be impressive, but who knew that the protagonist was killed by someone else before the show started?

The face was lost to grandma's house. Many reporters from various countries who came here specially were waiting to see how the Nationalist Government explained this matter to the public. Among them, Caitriona was included. Who knows how long it would take?

, Caitriona and others received a notice from the government, asking everyone to change their route to Guangzhou for interviews. The government was responsible for the itinerary arrangements along the way. In this way, more than a hundred Chinese and foreign reporters were fooled into boarding a plane bound for Guangzhou.

"Oh, God... Look, everyone, there is a Japanese plane outside!" A sharp scream suddenly sounded in the cabin.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man pointing out the window and shouting excitedly. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and immediately saw four aircraft about three or four kilometers to their left.

The black dots were flying toward them quickly, and they looked menacing and malicious.

When everyone was panicking, the four Thunderbolt fighters that were flying quietly beside them broke away from the formation and began to rush towards the four black spots. The two sides soon started fighting. I saw both sides flying up and down in the air, fighting.

Extremely intense.

"Oh my God, that's a Japanese plane, they're going to kill us!"

"No, they are flying over! Stop them quickly!"

The reporters in the cabin probably watched an air combat for the first time in their lives. Seeing the battle so close at hand, their hearts were beating violently because their lives were at stake.

At this time, a man suddenly shouted loudly in the cabin: "Virgin Mary, I am so stupid, why did I agree to come to Guangzhou? It's okay now, we are going to die, the Japanese are coming to kill us."

We are here! Everyone, run away!"

The man stood up and ran towards the cabin door while shouting wildly.

Seeing this man's actions, Caitriona was shocked and shouted loudly: "No, grab him quickly and don't let him open the hatch! Otherwise we will be doomed!"

Everyone was also shocked, and then they realized that if this frightened idiot opened the hatch, there would be no good results waiting for everyone. In panic, Jack, who was next to him, rushed over and pulled the trapped man away.

Some people were so frightened that they threw themselves into the cabin.

Although the reporter was pinned to the ground, he was still struggling. Because he was bigger, Jack couldn't hold him down for a while. Jack was so anxious that he couldn't help shouting, "Come here and two people can help, tie this guy up!"

"

After hearing this, the people nearby quickly came out and two more male reporters helped Jack subdue the guy.

Looking at the man who was still shouting, Caitlina frowned, looked at the man who was still struggling on the ground with some disgust, and looked at the several planes still fighting in the distance with some worry, feeling in her heart

A trace of worry arose.

However, Caitriona's worries were quickly dispelled. In less than five minutes, two of the invading Japanese planes were beaten down. One of the remaining two planes fled away into the distance with black smoke, and the rest

One of them quickly disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the Japanese plane being repulsed, a burst of cheers and two whistles suddenly sounded in the cabin.

John, who had been worried all the time, breathed a sigh of relief and leaned heavily on his back chair. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his nervous forehead, and he said with emotion: "Thank God, these damn Japanese monkeys were finally caught."

Repelled."

Caitriona also took a deep breath, and her face that had been forced to be calm gradually calmed down. When the reporters calmed down from their panic, their thinking began to return to their usual level.

Someone nearby couldn't help but admired: "Hey, you really can't tell. Although those Chinese fighter planes don't look very good, their performance is really good. They beat the shit out of those Japanese monkeys!"

"Yes, those Japanese are so abominable that they actually sent people to attack us. Do the Japanese like to attack passenger planes?"

"It's just that the behavior of these Japanese monkeys is so abominable."

The reporters nearby started talking one after another. The scene just now made them a little scared. If a Japanese plane had just broken through the protection of the escort aircraft and fired a bunch of bullets at them, they would probably go to heaven for interviews now.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Caitriona thought of other things in her mind. Caitrina has been in China for three years and is very familiar with many things in China. As far as she knows, the National Government's air force is very powerful.

At the beginning of the War of Resistance, there were only some Hawker III aircraft purchased from the United States and German Junkers aircraft. They were helpless in the face of the Japanese attack. For this reason, the Nationalist Government specially sent people to the United States to purchase new fighter aircraft and

Spare parts. However, the U.S. government, which pursues isolationism, is unwilling to sell them the latest monoplanes. It only agrees to sell them some biplanes that are about to be obsolete. This cannot guarantee the supply of spare parts, so that the National Government

The Air Force gradually lost air superiority.

But the Chinese local army in front of her had such an advanced air force, from DC-3 passenger planes to those ugly-looking but advanced-performance Thunderbolts, everything was beyond Caitriona's expectation.

Caitlina murmured softly to herself: "It seems that this trip to Guangzhou should be very interesting."

While Caitriona was deep in thought, she suddenly felt that the plane was descending rapidly. She looked out the window and saw two yellow streaks appearing in front of her.

At this time, a pilot also appeared in front of the cabin and said loudly to them: "Ladies and gentlemen, Jiangmen Airport has arrived. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for landing..."

ps: Thank you to the expedition soldier, cjj71, and the priest for the reward!
