In fact, this is not something difficult to guess.

When the leader received the telegram, he felt a little strange. Li Yunlong's personality was like the king of the mountain, and he always won battles. If he usually didn't contact the headquarters unless there was nothing urgent, he was afraid that the headquarters would miss the little equipment in his hand.

.

Why are you suddenly asking about a pilot who can't even fight with the Independent Regiment today?

The chief handed the telegram to the chief of staff and said, "What is this Li Yunlong doing? Let him guard Yuncheng, but he asked about the situation of the Yingjiang pilot!"

The chief of staff thought for a while and then said: "Chief, Li Yunlong always tries his best to pull out a few hairs when he sees something good. Do you think he can be..."

"Why does he need a Yingjiang pilot?" The chief interrupted the chief of staff: "We don't even have anything that can fly. How can we build an airplane for him if he wants to go?"

The chief of staff was speechless, but after thinking for a moment, he added: "Chief, I think this matter may have something to do with Xiaodongbei!"

"How do you say that?" asked the chief.

The chief of staff replied: "Li Yunlong may not be able to get the plane, but that's not necessarily true for Xiaodongbei. His business with Yingjiang is booming. Li Yunlong must have smelled something, so..."

The chief said "Oh" and then nodded: "That makes sense. You need to have a pilot first, and then you can get the plane. Otherwise, you won't be able to find anyone who can fly a plane, let alone buy one."

!”

"It makes sense!" said the chief of staff: "So, we should strongly support this matter!"

The leader nodded heavily: "My opponent, I definitely support it! If we can still form an air force, it will be like replacing a shotgun with a cannon!"

Li Yunlong soon received a call back from the chief: "We have found twenty-three pilots and are doing our best to transfer them to the base!"

Sun Erwei looked at the telegram and couldn't help but look pleased: "Twenty-three, this is better than we imagined!"

Yingjiang originally didn't dare to hold out much hope because there were too many uncertain factors, including aircraft malfunctions, enemy anti-aircraft guns, getting lost, parachuting, Japanese pursuits, etc.

Therefore, Yingjiang's estimate is that of the 80 crew members of these 16 bombers, it would be good for 20 to survive.

But now, it is known that 23 people survived in the first batch, which made Sun Erwei a little surprised.

This is actually because Sun Erwei underestimated the power of the Eighth Route Army.

In the Eighth Route Army, as long as one person is assigned to the countryside, he can lead a team in a short time. The equipment may not be advanced enough, but the strength of the masses is very sufficient.

Therefore, after the chief gave an order, all townships and villages immediately arranged for manpower to spread out like beans...

This was also due to the previous large-scale raids against the Japanese.

The Japanese's major raids again and again enabled the Eighth Route Army to develop the ability to respond quickly. Observation points, information trees, etc. were already prepared.

Then, as soon as Yingjiang's plane entered the coastal area, news was immediately conveyed along the route through "earthly" methods, and then the Japanese were rescued and hid before the Japanese could react.

It's not surprising that the Japanese would be a step slower in reaction.

The main reason is that they didn't know that there would be Eagle bombers making an emergency landing in these areas... Although Tokyo was bombed, the Japanese didn't know where the Eagle bombers were flying. Some of them even thought that these planes would land there.

Returning to the aircraft carrier again, a large number of fighter jets took off and the warships left the harbor to search for the aircraft carrier instead of bombers.

Therefore, even Okamura Neji knew nothing about it.

It wasn't until Yingjiang's bombers crashed one after another in the Japanese defense zone that the Japanese realized something was wrong.

Okamura Neji's door was knocked by Yoshio Shinozuka in the middle of the night.

When Neji Okamura opened the door wearing a military uniform, Yoshio Shinozuka reported: "Your Excellency, General, a Hawk-chan bomber has been discovered!"

Okamura Neiji was shocked. This was China. How could the Eagle bomber appear here? What's going on! Could it be that the Imperial Navy had already been defeated? These bastards used the most money to say the biggest words, but they were like this

Vulnerable?

However, Shinozuka Yoshio's next words made Okamura Neji realize that he had wrongly blamed the navy.

"But it's strange!" Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Taka-chan's planes did not bomb us, they crashed in various locations one after another!"

"Crashed?" This made Okamura Neji confused. Is Taka-chan crazy? He flew here from such a distance and crashed without even dropping a bomb?

With doubts, Okamura Neji and Shinozuka Yoshio quickly walked towards the headquarters.

Several staff officers were planting small flags at different locations on the sand table under the lights... The Japanese were quick in their actions. They had already collected the crash sites of each bomber based on intelligence and marked them before Neji Okamura arrived.

Okamura Neiji looked at the small flags on the sand table and saw at a glance that they had no rules.

"A total of 14!" the staff officer reported.

"No, their target is not us!" Okamura Neji immediately made a judgment.

This is obvious, because if a target is to be bombed, the aircraft should be concentrated together and drop all the bombs on it.

But now, these bombers are scattered in the coastal areas, some even dozens of kilometers apart.

Yoshio Shinozuka felt strange: "If the target is not us, who else could it be?"

In addition to the imperial army, there are only stubborn troops and the Eighth Route Army on the land of China.

At this time, Yingjiang is all allies with the stubborn army and the Eighth Route Army, so it is of course impossible to target them.

Okamura Neiji thought for a while, then turned his attention to the map hanging on the wall, and said: "Shinozuka-kun, they probably flew to us after completing their bombing mission!"

Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help but be shocked. He followed Okamura Neji's gaze and looked at the domestic regions and said, "Is it... the local area?"

Okamura Neji nodded and said: "Contact Tokyo immediately!"

"Yes!" Yoshio Shinozuka responded and ran towards the electrical and mechanical room as fast as he could.

Not long after, Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly returned: "General, you are right, they bombed Tokyo and then turned to China!"

Tokyo also suddenly realized when Shinozuka Yoshio sent a telegram saying that a Hawk bomber had crashed in China... They did not fly back to the aircraft carrier, but to China. This also meant that their search for the Hawk aircraft carrier was in vain.

strength.

Because the Yingjiang aircraft carrier had already retreated the moment the bombers took off.

Okamura Neji gritted his teeth, it was actually Tokyo, they actually bombed Tokyo?
