Chapter 380 Blue blood in the sky
Cheng Qianfan made a cup of coffee.
Having a tired look on her face.
He had almost no rest last night. He only came to the patrol room at around five o'clock in the morning and had less than two hours of sleep.
“Which one?” he asked Hao Zai.
“Tongfu Hotel.” Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan's tired eyes seemed to be radiating light, and his expression became solemn.
“Interesting.” Cheng Qianfan raised a smile and nodded.
Previously, Hao Zai said Lili led a team to inspect a number of hotels rented in Zhabei, including ‘Hongyun Hotel, Damin Hotel, Limin Hotel, Good Luck Hotel, Wenjia Hotel, and Baiyun Hotel’.
However, the latest intelligence now shows that the Japanese Rangers are not in those hotels, but have a new name:
Tongfu Hotel.
Unexpectedly, this fat old man Fei was secretly cheating on Chen Cang.
Cheng Qianfan speculated that during the first meeting with the Japanese, Tongfu Hotel should have been identified as a hidden stronghold for the Japanese.
With his familiarity with the jurisdiction, he already had a suitable choice in mind, and subsequent team inspections were more for the purpose of concealment and confusion.
"What's the reason for locking in Tongfu Hotel?" Cheng Qianfan picked up the coffee cup and drank most of it in one gulp. The black coffee without sugar was extremely bitter in the mouth, and he frowned.
"Team leader Mingjian." Hao Zai said with admiration, "After getting your reminder, we focused on the purchasing situation of hotels in Sichuan Hongbang area and found that Tongfu Hotel, which usually has a relatively average business, suddenly purchased a large amount of rice, vegetables and... There’s bacon.”
"The brothers on the periphery got word from the boy at the hotel. Last night, there were more than 20 guests in the hotel, all of them men." Hao Zai paused and thought for a while, "The number should be 23. Between 25 people, the details need further confirmation.”
“There are more than twenty grown men. Didn’t the hotel clerk find it strange?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"The boys also felt something was wrong, but the boss told them that these were national troops hiding in the hotel to fight the Japanese." Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan cursed "cunning" in a low voice.
Hao Zai thought Cheng Qianfan was scolding the Japanese for being cunning, but he didn't know that the team leader was scolding Li Li for being cunning.
These methods, in Cheng Qianfan’s opinion, are most likely to be the beginning and end of the effort.
"Target Tongfu Hotel." Cheng Qianfan tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice, "However, we must pay attention to safety and concealment. No one is allowed to act rashly without my order."
“Understood!” Hao Zai nodded solemnly.
…
After Hao Zai went out, Cheng Qianfan rubbed his brows.
Just as he feared, once a local snake like Li Li becomes determined to become a traitor, it will be extremely harmful.
There are more than 20 people in the special operations team at Ekou. These personnel should be elites of the Japanese army.
There are more than 20 people, almost equivalent to half a squad of the Japanese army.
On the frontal battlefield, a small Japanese army can eat up a company of the Chinese army, or even carry it with a battalion of the Chinese army.
So, if this half-detachment of elite Japanese soldiers suddenly sneaks out from the hinterland of the Chinese army in an anxious battle situation, the combat effectiveness it can unleash will be extremely astonishing, and it may even be able to change the situation of the local war.
This "big threat" to the Japanese special forces must be eliminated.
However, Cheng Qianfan was very clear about the situation of the Shanghai special situation group he led. Considering the strong combat effectiveness of the Jiangkou Rangers, if the special situation group took action, the most likely result would be that the special situation group would suffer heavy casualties and the operation would fail.
Cheng Qianfan decided to report the information and his own considerations to the Xufuxiang Secret Service Headquarters, and asked Director Dai Chunfeng to make a decision.
…
“Outside the number, outside the number, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought fiercely, and the National Army Brigadier Huang Mei Xing died for his country!”
In the afternoon, Li Hao drove Inspector Xiao Cheng home from get off work.
Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.
At this time, the sound of the newsboy's cries came.
“Okay, Brother Fan.”
Li Hao stopped the car, got out and bought a newspaper and came back.
“Huang Meixing, commander of the 264th Brigade of the Eighty-Eighth Division of the National Army, commanded the troops to besiege the Japanese troops defending Chizhi University. Facing the powerful offensive, the Japanese troops in Chizhi University began to fight and flee towards the Shanghai Law School.
Later, Brigadier Huang personally led his men to attack and charge to the Bazi Bridge. Unfortunately, he was shot and died heroically for his country. Brigadier Huang's Mei Xing will be immortal! "
Cheng Qianfan closed the newspaper and remained silent for a long time.
…
At this moment, Hongkou.
The air forces of China and Japan are fighting to the death.
After their tryst, Peter and Ruth returned to the rooftop of Sassoon House.
Other British, French, and Americans joked with the two of them, smoking cigars, drinking red wine, and pointing at the fight in the sky to comment.
“The Chinese Air Force is smarter than in the morning.” A British commentator said.
Northrop 2EC light bombers of the Chinese Air Force once again bombed key targets such as the OUHK Cotton Mill.
It seems that the Chinese Air Force has learned the lesson from the morning. This time, the Chinese Air Force is equipped with a prompt fuse bomb, which will explode immediately after hitting the target. The results are better than the delayed fuse bomb in the morning.
“That Chinese bomber is going to be doomed.” A Frenchman held a telescope with both hands and shouted excitedly.
…
This is a Northrop 2EC light bomber of the Chinese Air Force, with the number 907 on the fuselage.
This bomber had just completed dropping bombs and was preparing to continue shooting at the ground, but it did not notice that it had been targeted by a Japanese Nakajima Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft.
The Chinese Air Force Hawker fighter jets responsible for escorting still need to complete the attack mission. At this time, the enemy aircraft was not discovered at the first time.
Japanese planes were condescending and launched a surprise attack on the Chinese bombers.
The bullet instantly passed through the windshield of Unit 907.
"Yunge, I was shot." Zhu Hongxin, who was piloting the fighter plane, was shot in the arm and reported the situation to fighter gunner Sheng Yunge, "Shoot, you keep shooting, I am preparing to return. Whether we can return alive depends on our luck. "
Zhu Hongxin felt like he heard his comrade's answer, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft quickly climbed up after acquiring it.
A National Army Hawker III fighter jet arrived and opened fire to completely drive away the Japanese aircraft.
Zhu Hongxin endured the gunshot wounds and struggled to make an emergency landing of the plane at Hongqiao Airport.
Opening the cover of the machine, Zhu Hongxin struggled to crawl out, and Paoze on the ground quickly helped him out.
“Yun Pavilion.” Zhu Hongxin shouted loudly. On the way back, he realized that he had not heard the sound of Sheng Yun Pavilion and was worried all the time.
“Yunge.”
At this moment, Zhu Hongxin heard the cries of grief from others.
He struggled to get closer to see:
Shengyun Pavilion has been sacrificed.
His hands were still holding the machine gun tightly.
Zhu Hongxin’s eyes turned red and he kept calling Shengyun Pavilion’s name.
Unfortunate news came one after another.
After being shot, a Chinese military fighter plane crashed near Changzhou on its way back. The fighter pilot Li Chuanmeng, a 23-year-old young man from Liling, Hunan Province, died for his country.
