Second Lieutenant Sada flew for an hour before reaching the sky above Dongtian Village.
He also carried out the morning bombing mission and was very familiar with the terrain here.
After arriving in the bombing airspace, they did not conduct any reconnaissance. They started to dive when they were still two or three kilometers away from the target. Their thumbs were pressed on the bomb release button, ready to drop the bomb at any time.
The dive speed of the plane became faster and faster, and the screams that broke through the air became more and more harsh, accompanied by the roar of the engine, ringing in my ears.
As a pilot, this time is always his most exciting moment.
Because in the next second, he will press the bomb button, drop the bomb, and complete the bombing mission.
Getting closer and closer to the ground, Dongtian Village, which had been bombed into ruins, slowly came into view, becoming clearer and clearer.
Second Lieutenant Sada controlled the aircraft steadily and continued to dive, intending to increase the bomb's hit rate by shortening the bombing distance.
Just as a sneer flashed across his lips, he was about to press the bomb button and pull the plane up. Several plaster flags waving in the ruins appeared in his field of vision.
"It's the military flag of the Japanese Empire. The whole village is filled with imperial troops and they are our own people!" Second Lieutenant Sada made a subconscious judgment.
Quickly release the bomb release button, raise the fighter plane, and soar into the sky again.
"Baga, didn't you say that all the imperial troops in the village were killed by the Eighth Route Army? Why are there still so many imperial troops, and the whole village seems to have been occupied by the imperial troops!" Lieutenant Sada frowned and muttered to himself.
After hesitating for a few seconds and still unable to figure it out, Second Lieutenant Sada decided to conduct a thorough reconnaissance before deciding whether to drop the bomb.
If the village is really filled with imperial troops, and all the bombs he throws hit his own people, even if he carries out the bombing in accordance with the order, he will eventually be used as a scapegoat to calm the anger of the army troops.
So he must think twice before acting.
"Buzz buzz..."
Amidst the roar of the huge engine, the fighter plane flew lower and lower, then maintained a position of more than 100 meters above the ground, and quickly circled towards Dongtian Village.
"It's the Imperial Army. The whole village is full of Imperial Army. They are attacking the Eighth Route Army. There are only a few dozen enemies left in the encirclement!" Second Lieutenant Sada decided to believe what he saw before his eyes and made a judgment with a frown.
Since the village is full of imperial troops, it is definitely impossible to continue the mission of bombing Dongtian Village.
Second Lieutenant Sada made his decision in a blink of an eye.
The fighter jet swooped into the forest next to the village, knocked down all six bombs it brought, then swung its wings and flew away.
"What a risk!" Li Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed.
His nerves were tense throughout the whole process, and his eyes were fixed on the plane in the sky, fearing that it would drop bombs on the village.
Xiao Yuan also broke out in a cold sweat because of his nervousness. He took a long breath and replied: "Battal Commander, we deceived the little Japanese plane and took away it. All six bombs were dropped in the deserted forest. We didn't have any casualties!"
Li Hao slowly regained his composure, took a deep breath and ordered: "Continue to attack, end the battle within ten minutes, then leave half an hour to clean the battlefield, and strive to evacuate Dongtian Village within an hour!"
"Also, contact the people of Dongtian Village. Because of the fighting with the Japanese, all the houses in the village were destroyed!"
"In order to make up for everyone's losses, our Eighth Route Army decided to train them at the price!"
"Immediately contact Comrade Peng Chang, the newly appointed county magistrate of the base area, and ask him to send someone to organize a compensation notice!"
"Our Eighth Route Army is an army of ordinary people. We must not let the ordinary people suffer and become homeless just because we fight against the Japanese!"
"In addition, remember the location where the Japanese bombed just now. When you have time to come back later, you can pick up hundreds of kilograms of scrap metal and make some farm tools for the people!"
On the road less than 20 kilometers away from Lingqiu County, more than 400 Japanese infantry and more than 100 cavalry were marching in a hurry towards the county seat.
Everyone looked very ugly and panted, but no one dared to stop.
The independent battalion is too cunning, and no one can guarantee whether there will be any accidents after the troops stop.
This is especially true for Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe. When facing the independent battalion, he has reached the point where his face turns pale.
After being defeated again by the independent battalion, he had only one idea, to return to Lingqiu County as soon as possible.
With the protection of the county seat there, no matter how cunning the independent battalion is, they can't do anything to themselves.
"Sir, there's an urgent call from the brigade headquarters!" the radio operator caught up from behind and reported.
"Nani?" After reading the contents of the telegram, Watanabe had an expression of incredible shock on his face.
The adjutant was also frightened by the content of the telegram, and then asked with a hint of hope: "Sir, I think it is not impossible for the artillery and baggage trains to turn defeat into victory! Maybe what the aviation force saw is true, and they really did it!"
"Absolutely impossible!" Lieutenant Commander Watanabe confirmed after thinking for a few seconds.
"The independent battalion that besieged them had mortars, mountain cannons, and a large number of heavy machine guns! What did they want? Why should they turn defeat into victory?"
The adjutant hesitated and replied: "They have artillery, four mountain cannons, two infantry cannons, and more than ten mortars!"
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe snorted and asked, "If artillery had been effective in street fighting, our Watanabe Brigade would not have lost so many imperial troops in Dongtian Village!"
"They are surrounded by the independent battalion in the ruins of the village. The distance between the two armies is probably less than fifty meters. Even if they have artillery, it is useless. It is worse than a light machine gun!"
"Then what did the airmen see?" the adjutant asked closely, with a hint of unwillingness on his face.
"It's fake, it's all fake...it must be an illusion arranged by the independent battalion!" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe replied with certainty.
"They can only observe from a distance in the sky. As long as the independent battalion puts on the uniforms of the Imperial Army and waves the flag of the Imperial Army, they can easily create those illusions!"
"Immediately send a telegram back to the brigade headquarters and tell them that our artillery and baggage teams have been completely destroyed, and what the aviation force saw is all fake!"
"Dongtian Village has at least two infantry guns, four mountain guns, more than ten mortars, and a large amount of ammunition and baggage."
"To prevent these weapons and ammunition from falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, we kindly request the brigade headquarters to continue sending planes to bomb Dongtian Village to destroy those weapons and ammunition!"
Taiyuan Airport, Second Lieutenant Sada reported what he saw in Dongtian Village as soon as he returned to the airport.
In his opinion, if he had not been clever enough and reacted quickly, the hundreds of imperial troops who had turned defeat into victory and occupied Dongtian Village would have been blown away by him.
So in this matter, I definitely made a great contribution.
Even for the few hundred imperial troops who survived, Shangfeng should reward himself heavily.
Just as he was waiting for him to be awarded an award for his meritorious service on the summit, the squadron leader rushed over.
"Hello, sir!" Lieutenant Sada quickly stood up and saluted, subconsciously thinking that the squadron leader was here to reward him.
"Sada-kun, I have been ordered to inform you that because you failed to perform your mission, your flight qualifications have been temporarily revoked, and your rank has been reduced to warrant officer. You will be punished with meritorious service!" the squadron leader replied with a stern face.
"Why?" Second Lieutenant Sada asked anxiously, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Because you were fooled by the Eighth Route Army... The Imperial Army you saw in Dongtian Village were all pretending to be the Eighth Route Army. Because of your mistake, the Eighth Route Army may have obtained a large number of heavy weapons and ammunition from Dongtian Village that only the Imperial Army has!"
"Once the Eighth Route Army is equipped with these weapons, its combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly enhanced. If the Imperial Army wants to eliminate them again, it will definitely pay a huge price!"
"What!" Second Lieutenant Sada was dumbfounded. His whole strength seemed to be drained out of him in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground!
