There is only one update today.

I took some medicine for my low back pain. I have been standing and not sitting down for a while, and it has improved a lot. I will work harder next month.No way, I have to support my family...

********
Yuncheng Airport.

3rd Flying Group Command.

Major General Hideo Hirago couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief watching the planes make an emergency landing at the airport.

"Your Excellency, Major General!" The staff officer stepped forward and reported: "A total of 56 planes have returned, and the other fighter planes are too late to take off, already..."

Needless to say after that, the flames of Beixiang Airport can be seen clearly in Yuncheng.

Hideo Hiirago was silent for a while, and asked, "Hayashida-kun news?"

"I'm very sorry, Major General!" The staff officer replied cautiously: "We have lost contact with Beixiang Airport! We haven't received any news about Mr. Lin Tian!"

Hearing this, Hiirago Hideo knew what it meant.

Hayashida Chikage used to be Hideo Hirago's bodyguard, and it was Hideo Hirago's intention to arrange him to be stationed at Beixiang Airport. Hideo Hirago wanted to promote him, but unexpectedly threw him into the flames.

But looking at the fighter planes that returned safely, Hideo Hirago was relieved.

Hayashida Chikage's sacrifice was worth it, after all, he saved so many fighters.

This also shows the correctness of his appointment of Hayashida Chikage.

"Hayashida-kun is a real imperial soldier!" Hideo Hirago sighed: "He gave up his life at the last moment to preserve the combat effectiveness of the imperial air force. This is what an imperial soldier should do!"

"Yes!" The staff officer stood up and answered, with a look of fascination unconsciously showing in his eyes.

But at this moment, there was a whistling sound like a rag being torn open in the darkness.

There was only one sound, and it wasn't noticeable amidst the noise of the plane's engine, but it still caught Hideo Hirago's attention.

Hideo Hirago looked in the direction of the howling sound as if being pricked by a needle, and saw a shell exploded with a "boom" one kilometer away from the airport.

Hiirago Hideo immediately understood what happened.

This is enemy artillery firing, and the target is clearly... the airport.

"Everyone turn off the lights!" Hideo Hiirago shouted, "Turn off the lights!"

In order to guide the plane to land safely, Yuncheng Airport turned on dozens of searchlights to illuminate the runway, but these searchlights also pointed out the target to the enemy artillery.

"Turn off the lights!" The staff immediately conveyed the order: "Turn off all the lights!"

In just a few seconds, the searchlights, including all the lights used for lighting, were turned off one after another. The airport, which was brightly lit just now, fell into darkness in an instant, and the engines of the fighter planes also stopped for standby.

All the officers and soldiers seemed to be aware of the imminent danger, and looked up at the dark sky without daring to take a breath, as if they were waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Contact the artillery immediately!" Hideo Hiiragi yelled at the communications soldier: "Order them to suppress the enemy artillery! No matter what method you use, immediately!"

"Yes!" The communications soldier responded, grabbed the phone in the dark and called nervously and hurriedly.

Although the order was given like this, Hideo Hirago knew that it would not have much effect.

The reason is that the target of the enemy's first and second rounds of test firing is too small, and the test firing is still in the dark, and the fire is fleeting. If you are not prepared to stare in this direction, you will not be able to find the position of the enemy's artillery.

Therefore, the Imperial Airport at this time is very passive, and it seems that the only hope is that the enemy artillery cannot accurately guide the artillery fire into the airport.

After thinking about it, Hideo Hiiragi gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly: "Bastard, we were fooled! This is a conspiracy by the Eighth Route Army!"

At the beginning, the staff did not understand what this meant.

But when he turned his gaze to the airport, he saw that the originally small airport was crowded with fighter jets and bombers, almost one after the other, and he understood.

Then another shell came with a howling sound, and exploded with a "boom" at a position more than 100 meters away from the airport. The flames of the shell illuminated several nearby fighter planes red.

Hideo Hirago gave a series of orders almost the moment he saw the fire:
"The target is five kilometers to the southwest, immediately send the coordinates to the artillery!"

"Lights on, fighter jets take off, immediately!"

"Everyone evacuated!"

……

The airport quickly became lively again, the plane that had just landed immediately started its motor again, and the ground crew waved the flag and hurriedly commanded the fighter plane to enter the runway and take off.

Hideo Hiiragi is indeed a major general who was born as a pilot, and his series of commands can be said to be flawless.

But there is a saying that "tactical victories can never make up for strategic mistakes".

Hirao Hideo's command will never make up for his mistake of being tricked into concentrating fighter jets at one airport.

If he was cautious enough, or if he didn't underestimate the enemy, he should have thought that this might be a serial trick.

It would be much better if he could make the fighter planes circle a few more times in the air than to gather them together.

It's just that, at this time, the fuel of Devil Aviation is extremely precious, and Yuncheng Airport is in the hinterland of the defense line. Hideo Hirao thought that it was impossible to be attacked by the enemy, so he made this mistake.

Until the last moment, Hiirago Hideo was still thinking about a question:
"These artillery, where did the enemy's artillery come from?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The imperial soldiers have cleared the airport for more than ten miles. How could there be an artillery?"

"There are no mountains around, how can the artillery escape the search?"

……

In this regard, Hideo Hirago is actually right.

There are no mountains at Yuncheng Airport, and the devils did search the surrounding area for more than ten miles, but they almost didn't plow all these lands deeply.

It is indeed impossible for a large-scale artillery to hide in this situation.

The issue is……

The artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army was hiding in an abandoned mine ten kilometers away.

Laojiu and his party hid in the mine for more than ten days, without seeing the sun for more than ten days, eating dry food and drinking spring water seeping from the rock wall of the mine.

During this period, the devil wanted to search the mine several times, but he gave up because the mine was blocked by gravel... The gravel looked like a natural landslide, and the devil was worried that digging in would cause a larger collapse. Let it go.

Finally, after receiving the order from their superiors, Laojiu and others dug up the gravel from the inside, and they changed into devil clothes and drove a car in the dark night. They only drove more than ten miles in the target direction before entering the rocket launcher. range.

After the test firing was completed, Lao Jiu ordered more than a hundred rockets to be launched towards the target.

Suddenly there was a howling sound in the darkness, and shells flew away like raindrops, blowing up Yuncheng Airport into a sea of ​​flames in a short while.

Most of the devil's fighter planes are filled with fuel, so that they can take off at any time.

At this time, they were densely arranged in several rows, and when one plane was blown up, it immediately spread to the surrounding area, and as a result, one plane was connected to the other.

Especially those planes that were taking off and wanted to escape from the airport, they were suddenly hit by pieces of artillery shells while they were accelerating, and the air waves they raised brought them to hit other fighter planes fiercely, and the impact was a big one.
