    What made Xia Boxun most unacceptable, and even angry, was that the Japanese army would ignore international practice and shoot parachuting pilots who had no resistance.  ¡¾.  !Hearing this report, Xia Boxun was furious, but he was helpless.  Now there wasn't even a Japanese plane in the sky, and even if I wanted to find a place to vent the fire, I couldn't find it.

    Although there is no Japanese plane in the sky, Xia Boxun believes that he must find a place to vent his anger.  Since there are no Japanese planes in the sky and the Japanese airport is the meat on the brigade commander's plate, it is not easy for me to compete with him for food.  Then the Japanese army is still stubbornly resisting on the ground, which is the best and only target he can choose.

    After forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart and secretly cursing a beast, Xia Boxun picked up the microphone and issued an order: "The planes with ammunition will stay temporarily to cover the evacuation of the brigade. The remaining planes will return to the airport to refuel and load ammunition. We and the brigade commander will  Let¡¯s get together and go find trouble with the Japs¡¯ ground troops and let them have a taste of being bombed.¡±

    Suppressing the anger in his heart that one of his men was shot dead by the Japanese army, Xia Boxun led the team back to refuel and replenish ammunition, preparing to go find trouble with the Japanese troops on the ground.  An empty Fang Ziyi was spotted at the Harbin Airport, and on the way back, the independent second garrison who came to support was sent directly back to Harbin.

    Compared to Yang Zhen's two subordinates, Lieutenant General Saburo Endo, the commander of the Kwantung Army Aviation Corps, who was standing at the edge of Harbin Airport waiting for the return of the air raid group, was looking at the sight of the blank, those cute fighter planes under his subordinates.  The figure never appeared in the sky and was in a daze.

    Although Saburo Endo had always held objections, his arm could not twist his thigh. After giving the order reluctantly, he was still worried about this battle.  In Saburo Endo's view, the opponent now has an aviation force, but where the base is, how many troops there are, and what the equipment is, are all unknown.

    Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to attack recklessly, and it is also extremely dangerous.  Therefore, after formulating the combat plan, he still couldn't let go. He rushed from Xinjing to Harbin as soon as possible, preparing to personally direct the air raid.

    Facing such an elusive opponent with endless means, Saburo Endo, who once commanded the strategic bombing of Chongqing, felt powerless for the first time.  They can dress up as Kwantung Army aviation personnel, go to their own airport to steal planes openly, and even use the Kwantung Army's own ground crew to load bombs onto planes, and then turn around and attack the airport.  What else can't this cunning opponent do?

    In fact, Saburo Endo, who was very dissatisfied with the commander's desperate behavior, did not expect that General Umezu Yoshijiro, who had always been steady, would ignore it this time, and even the aviation teams stationed in Nenjiang and Qiqihar to fight against the Soviet Union  Transferred.

    Although he also knew that the situation on the ground was extremely unfavorable to the Kwantung Army, Saburo Endo still felt that such a large-scale mobilization of aviation forces was still inappropriate.  Stubborn, he always believed that the Anti-League was just a case of ringworm.  The real enemy of the Kwantung Army is the Soviet Far East Military District with thousands of aircraft, not the resistance alliance like these bandits.

    Now that the Kwantung Army has lost its troops, if these bandits in Manchuria cooperate with the Soviet army in Jiangbei.  If the Kwantung Army's main force is attracted and takes advantage of the opportunity to attack, the aviation currently deployed in Northern Manchuria will be the last barrier to contain the Soviet offensive.

    Therefore, Saburo Endo firmly opposed Umezu Yoshijiro's order to dispatch all aviation forces stationed in northern Manchuria to support the 14th Division in combat.  But as a subordinate, especially when Umezu Yoshijiro firmly opposed it, he issued a special order through the Tokyo base camp. This time, even if Saburo Endo was dissatisfied, he had to carry it out.

    After just receiving the order, his heart was suddenly filled with a strong feeling of uneasiness. Saburo Endo, who decided to take command in person, rushed to the edge of the runway to see off the attack fleet early in the morning. When he watched the spectacular large fleet of aircraft passing over the airport, he was surrounded by people around him.  The cheering subordinates were different.  Looking at the fleet of aircraft gradually retreating, Saburo Endo felt a sense of danger keenly.

    The sense of smell developed through years of military service is quite sensitive.  Saburo Endo's worries soon became a reality.  Just an hour after the air attack on Fangzheng's fleet took off, a large fleet of aircraft passed over his head. Seeing the empty airport, he turned around and flew away again.

    Originally thought to be an air raid on Founder¡¯s fleet returning to Harbin Airport, it was not until those planes arrived overhead that they realized something was wrong.  When he saw that those strange-looking aircraft were painted not with the Hinomaru logo he was familiar with, but with the red star logo with wings, the commander at the airport, Commander Aoki Takezo of the 12th Flight Regiment of the Kwantung Army,  Then he pushed Saburo Endo into the bunker as if he had woken up from a dream.

    And he himselfThen he hurriedly mobilized the few 25mm anti-aircraft guns to fight.  What they didn't expect was that after discovering that there were no targets worth bombing on the airport, those planes shook their wings and turned around and flew away.  Obviously, people are not willing to use bombs to blow up an empty airport.

    After watching the enemy planes flying away from the air raid on the airport, Lieutenant General Endo Saburo and Colonel Aoki Takesan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time thought of the air attack on Founder's fleet.  There were at least sixty or seventy enemy planes that had just arrived at Harbin Airport, of which more than half were twin-engine bombers and more than twenty fighter planes.

    ¡°If we estimate that the ratio of bombers to fighters is at least four to six for an aviation force, then they still have at least a hundred fighters in their hands.  If the accuracy of this calculation is more than 70%, then where are the remaining fighters?  The two of them thought of the more than 200 planes that were attacking Fangzheng.

    Saburo Endo, who was the first to react and rushed over, ignored his previous gentleness and turned to Colonel Takesan Aoki in an angry tone: "Contact Major General Hashimoto Nobuhide immediately and ask him about the situation there. Also, tell the leader of the escort group.  Colonel Takeda Kinshiro must protect the bomber group at all costs."

    What Saburo Endo didn¡¯t expect was that his communications staff, despite all their efforts, could not get in touch with Major General Nobuhide Hashimoto, who commanded the air raid group.  And just when the anxious and furious Saburo Endo was worried about Major General Hashimoto Nobuhide and the bomber group he led, an even more unfortunate news almost completely defeated Saburo Endo.

    It was reported that Damintun Airport was destroyed in Qiqihar. The 31st and 45th light bombers and the 77th fighter squadron, which were concentrated at Damintun Airport in preparation for the second echelon bombing mission, were suddenly attacked by their opponents.  Among them, heavy losses were suffered.  Seventy percent of the planes were blown up, and more than half of the pilots were killed or injured.  All the oil bombs stored at the airport were destroyed.

    Before Saburo Endo was hit by an air attack from Qiqihar Damintun Airport, the fighter planes that were preparing to serve as the second echelon of air strikes recovered from the heavy loss.  A Type 98 dive bomber returning from the direction of Founder appeared again in everyone's sight at Harbin Airport.

    As if to confirm the uneasy premonition in Saburo Endo's heart, when the Type 98 dive bomber appeared in everyone's sight at Harbin Airport, it was already swaying, with black smoke coming out of its body, and the right rear of the fuselage was level.  The tail wing is gone.  The fuselage was riddled with bullet holes.  When landing, it was no longer possible to lower the landing gear, so we had to use the still intact belly of the aircraft to make an emergency landing at the airport.

    Looking at this plane, which was almost beaten to pieces, it only managed to fly back thanks to the pilot's skillful flying skills and the fact that the battlefield was not far from Harbin, which was the starting base, but it was actually scrapped.  As well as the pilot who was helped off the plane and covered in blood, Saburo Endo didn't speak for a long time.  The tragic situation of the only plane returning so far, and the disappearance of subsequent planes, had already made him understand something.

    The pilot, who was seriously injured and had to be helped by the ground crew to climb out of the plane, saw the military rank on Endo Saburo. Without waiting for Endo Saburo to speak, he quickly stood up unsteadily and saluted: "Your Majesty General, our army has just entered the square.  Within the territory, we encountered a large number of new enemy aircraft attacks.¡±

    "Those aircraft that attacked us are a new type of aircraft. Not only are they extremely fast, their bodies are strong and can carry out large overload maneuvers, but they also have extremely fierce firepower. The Type 97 fighter jets and Type 95 fighter jets of the Imperial Army Air Force were almost invisible in air battles.  There is no room for fighting back.¡±

    "Moreover, the enemy is extremely cunning and adopts aerial ambush tactics. As soon as we entered Founder's territory, a large number of enemy planes suddenly swooped down from high altitudes and used their powerful firepower to attack our fleet formation. Our army was unable to take precautions, and the first  We lost one-third in one round of battle. In the subsequent battles, due to the overall inferiority of the aircraft's performance, we were constantly being passively attacked. Under the desperate attacks of the enemy, our bomber group did not even have a chance to drop bombs.  "

    "Request Your Excellency, Commander, to send support troops immediately, otherwise Major General Hashimoto and the others will not be able to support them for much longer. The performance of enemy aircraft far exceeds ours. We cannot run away or fight in the air. If reinforcements are not sent out, Hashimoto will  The major general is probably in trouble."

    Having said this, the pilot took out a camera from his shoulder bag and handed it to Saburo Endo and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this was given to me by my dead bombardier before he died in action. How many enemy troops participated in the battle this time?"  This kind of aircraft we have never seen has been photographed by him, and he asked me to pass it on to my boss, hoping to find a way to deal with this kind of aircraft.¡±

    "It was precisely because I wanted to send this important information back that I did not make up my mind to work with Commander Hashimoto."The country, in return for the divine grace.  Now that the information has been sent, I ask Your Excellency, Commander, to severely punish me for leaving the battlefield and damaging the majesty of the imperial army.  "

    The pilot, who was already seriously injured, could no longer hold on after making this report, and his eyes fell into a coma.  Looking at the seriously injured pilot, his crew members who had been lifted off the plane, and the almost smashed Type 98 dive bomber, Saburo Endo's face suddenly changed.  The child became extremely pale.

    Facing the facts in front of him, an unexpected thought emerged in Saburo Endo's mind: "We were defeated, and it was a complete defeat. It's over. Now, except for a small number of survivors stationed in North Korea,  , the last remaining strength of the Kwantung Army Aviation Corps is gone."
