Chapter 504 Let’s Just Let It Go
Xiang Chu pointed at the dispatch room and yelled, "Brothers! Destroy everything."
"Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
Xiang Chu took Gan Rong and ran out of the dispatch room and down to the navigation control building.
Zhang Linmao rushed forward and pointed at a Japanese Type 2998 light bomber and said, "Chief! The bomber has plenty of fuel, machine gun bullets, and aerial bombs. I'll keep them for you."
"very good!"
Xiang Chu nodded with satisfaction and instructed,
"Lin Mao! You will lead the others to cover the retreat and clear all traces."
"understand!"
Zhang Linmao nodded heavily and said in a choked voice,
"Sir! Take care of yourself and Daoist Master Gan."
"Take care of yourself!"
Xiang Chu and Gan Rong nodded at the same time, turned around and rushed towards bomber No. 2998.
The journey was extremely dangerous, but for the sake of the country and the nation, the two men had no hesitation.
The War of Resistance lasted for more than a year, with countless cities and territories lost and countless sacrifices.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiang Chu piloted the No. 2998 bomber and took off into the air under the admiring gaze of hundreds of comrades, flying towards the northeast.
After hundreds of Shadow Agency agents took a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the airport's ammunition depot, they immediately evacuated the airport and ran back the way they came.
Zhang Linmao and others were responsible for covering the rear and clearing away all traces along the way.
Hundreds of agents quickly ran to the lake where Li Tong was, and following Xiang Chu's instructions, they boarded the motorboat and headed north and south.
30 minutes later, 15 bundles of time bombs began to explode one after another.
Each of the Japanese Type 12 bombers was carrying a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, and the time bombs were placed underneath the aerial bombs.
"Boom! Boom!"
Twelve time bombs detonated the aerial bombs, with a deafening sound. The 12 planes were blown to pieces and it was impossible to tell which was which.
The ammunition in the ammunition depot was detonated, and explosions occurred one after another. The weapons and ammunition inside were naturally destroyed.
The 30 cars nearby were overturned by the series of explosions and were all scrapped.
The oil depot was ignited by the explosion, and a raging fire broke out, lighting up half the sky.
People within a hundred miles saw and heard the fire, smoke and explosion. Naturally, the Chinese people were happy while the Japanese were crying in sorrow.
In Jiujiang City, the command post of the commander of the 11th Army.
Okamura Ningchi was showing off to Doihara Ken'er in his office, using the four treasures of the study given by Xiang Chu to write the phrase "long-lasting military fortune", and he was only missing the last stroke of the pen to complete the task.
Doihara Kan'ei was also very happy because Okamura Ning'a agreed with his marching strategy and was ready to change the direction of the attack to a full attack on Wuhan.
"Boom!" Several loud noises.
The brush in his hand fell on the rice paper, turning the word "久" into a black mass.
Okamura Ningchi roared loudly: "Baga! What on earth is going on?"
"Commander! Doihara, go out and investigate."
Doihara Ken'er said anxiously, turned around and ran out of his office.
Soon, he ran back, crying, "Commander-in-Chief! The Chinese airport in Duchang has been attacked by Chinese agents. All the planes, ammunition depots, oil depots, and cars are gone."
“Is it all over?!”
Okamura Ningchi exclaimed, and after a long while he uttered,
"Intelligence Officer Doihara! Aren't you a super agent of the Empire? Why didn't you stop the sabotage of the Chinese agents in the rear of our army?"
Doihara Xian'er rolled his eyes and immediately passed the buck, "Commander! Doihara's Bamboo Agency hasn't arrived yet, so the Shadow Agency should be in charge here."
Okamura Ningchi sneered and said, "All the Shadow Organizations have gone out to conduct reconnaissance. The rear should be your Bamboo Organization and the Special High Section."
At this time, a Japanese lieutenant colonel officer appeared at the door and reported loudly: "Your Excellency the Intelligence Officer! The Nancang arrived at Jiujiang Port at 5 pm. Takahashi specially brought the bamboo agency here to listen to your command and dispatch."
"You won't come over later?!"
Doihara Kenji was so angry that he roared loudly.
Okamura Ningchi said angrily: "Doihara-kun! Stop yelling here, please take your people to quickly find out who bombed the Duchang Bomber Airport."
Doihara Xian'er said anxiously: "Commander! We must concentrate on attacking Wuhan."
Okamura Ningchi shook his head and said, "Once Duchang Airport was lost, the ammunition and fuel were severely damaged, and we were unable to concentrate on the attack."
Doihara Xianer said unwillingly: "Some of the Chinese high-ranking officials have close private contacts with Doihara. If Wuhan is attacked, they may turn against us. As for the fuel! Isn't there the Qintannan super-large oil depot in Anqing?"
"That's it!"
Okamura Ningchi couldn't help but hesitate.
At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the shocking explosion at the airport of the 14th Air Force of the Japanese Army.
Xiang Chu was flying bomber No. 2998 and rapidly approaching the super-large oil depot south of Qintan Lake in Anqing.
The sun has already set below the western horizon, leaving only a ray of light in the sky.
This ray of light made Xiang Chu stare at the devil's super-large oil depot, which was engraved in his mind, and he vowed to bomb it to the death.
There are several Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions around the oil depot. If their intention is discovered in advance, they will inevitably launch an attack.
Xiang Chu began to lower the altitude and said solemnly: "Gan Rong! You listen to my orders to drop the bombs. If the two aerial bombs miss, I will open the hatch, you parachute to escape, and I will drive the bomber into it."
Gan Rong said anxiously, "Leader! Please don't do that. You helped Gan Rong to avenge his blood feud. Your kindness is as great as a mountain. Besides, you are extremely important to the country. There are so many people who care about you. Gan Rong will take control of the plane and you will parachute to escape."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "A plane is not a car, how can it be so easy to control. There are indeed many things in this world that I care about and that I care about. At this time when the survival of the country is at stake, I should just let it go!"
Gan Rong said firmly: "Leader! Gan Rong is willing to die with you."
At this time, the plane approached the Qintan oil depot, which was under the no-fly zone, and the Japanese anti-aircraft guns on the ground began to fire tentative warning shots.
Xiang Chu said no more, and quickly calculated the bombing parameters according to factors such as wind speed, flight altitude, and aircraft speed to come up with the best bombing time.
Gan Rong held the bomb button in his hand with a determined look, waiting for his order to drop the two-pound heavy aerial bomb.
On the ground, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units discovered something and began to frantically shoot at their own bombers in the air.
However, they had lost the best opportunity to intercept Xiang Chu's plane.
项楚按照计算，大声喊道：“甘荣！投弹20秒倒计时，20、19......10、9......5、4......1，投弹！”
"bomb!"
Gan Rong shouted.
He pressed the bomb button hard, and the first aerial bomb limiter opened and fell to the ground.
Immediately, the limiter of the second aerial bomb also opened, and it fell towards the ground below while spinning.
"Boom!" a sound.
An anti-aircraft shell hit the side of the left wing and almost hit it.
Xiang Chu remained calm, glanced at the two aerial bombs below, quickly pulled the plane up and away, and said with a smile: "Lao Gan! We don't have to commit suicide and attack the oil depot."
"Hmm! The bomb fell in the center of the oil depot."
Gan Rong nodded, paused, and asked with a smile,
"Leader! Should I send a telegram to contact my sister-in-law?"
Xiang Chu happily said: "Contact her! Tell her that the airport is under martial law. No one else can know about this except her."
