Chapter 155: The Fisherman¡¯s Game In the world map of the 1940s, the small town of Arsenyev was just an inconspicuous dot. It was remote, cold, and desolate. The combination of these factors made people who had heard of this place name Very few. On the other hand, Vladivostok, located about 200 kilometers southwest of Arsenyev, has gradually evolved over the decades from a purely military fortress into an important strategic stronghold on the west coast of the Pacific. For a small city that originally had only a few hundred residents, hundreds of brand-new houses seemed too luxurious. Their roofs are all painted dark gray so that when viewed from the air, they seem to be raised earth bumps on the ground, and these "earth bumps" of basically the same size form a large ring as a whole, with several holes in the center. A large, straight and wide "road" with many domed sheds covered with m-color camouflage netting on both sides. Except for Vladivostok, the existence of Arsenyev Base hardly threatens any strategic location of the Russian Republic. However, it is adjacent to the Sea of ??Japan and is only more than 100 kilometers away from the coastline. The direct flight to Tokyo is less than 1,000 kilometers. It is deployed here. The German JU-86 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft can cover most areas of the Japanese archipelago, including three of the four major bases of the Japanese Combined Fleet. Weather permitting, these reconnaissance aircraft will conduct high-altitude reconnaissance of the Japanese military's main naval bases every two to three days. With a practical ceiling of 14,400 meters, they are able to avoid the interceptions of the Japanese Zero fighter jets and high ground altitudes. The interception of artillery fire is not even easily detected by the human eye. In the first three months of 1943, this kind of reconnaissance was carried out more than 80 times, most of which were single-plane activities. According to reports from German pilots, the Japanese conducted 37 air interceptions, but none of them were successful. The ground anti-aircraft artillery tried to intercept 14 times, but also failed to achieve any results. Later, they gradually gave up this kind of action, which could only in turn disturb the people. April 1, 2018, another war April Fool¡¯s Day, 29 days have passed since the Second Battle of the Marianas. Although the weather was a bit gloomy, the JU-86R painted in dark green of the Russian Republic Air Force took off from Arsenyev Base early in the morning. As usual, it crossed the Sea of ??Japan very smoothly and was only discovered by the Japanese air defense forces when it passed over Hokkaido. When the Japanese fighter jets appeared in the gray sky, the German pilots had adjusted their flight altitude to 14,000 meters. The scene that followed was like a big European guy playing basketball with a short Japanese guy. Even if I jump with all my strength, I can't reach the edge. During this process, the radio technicians on the German reconnaissance planes also intercepted and recorded the communications between the Japanese fighter pilots and the ground bases - of course the Japanese would not be stupid enough to regard these reconnaissance planes painted in olive green as Russian goods, after experiencing the defeat of the Great War, the Russian Republic did not have the ability or need to conduct such frequent reconnaissance of the Japanese archipelago. However, international disputes also require evidence. The Japanese military is eager to shoot down a reconnaissance aircraft to obtain the physical body of the aircraft and the pilot. However, the height difference of 4 kilometers is not a barrier that the Bushido spirit can overcome. Even if they risk their lives to climb up, those Zeros Fighters were still unable to pose a threat to the German twin-engine high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Three hours later, a brand new f
