Chapter 505 The Trojans will tell us everything
"It's over! The Imperial Oil Depot is over."
Amid the screams of the Japanese soldiers, two 450-kilogram aerial bombs fell.
The two shells hit the center of the super-large oil depot south of Qintan Lake steadily.
"Boom!" Two earth-shaking noises were heard.
The super-large oil depot exploded, oil splashed everywhere, and flames rose into the sky.
Countless Japanese soldiers watched as the oil depot with hundreds of thousands of tons of storage capacity caught fire and cried out:
"Baga! Damn Chinese pilots."
"Why aren't the Imperial anti-aircraft guns attacking?"
"Why didn't the Imperial planes intercept?"
The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery kept firing frantically at the bombers in the sky.
However, this move would only waste artillery shells and the bombers could not even be reached.
As night fell, the Japanese fighter planes naturally could not take off and intercept.
Needless to say, Xiang Chu's choice of bombing time was also very reasonable.
Among the many war supplies, what the Japanese lacked most was oil.
The bombing of such a super-large oil depot brought about a chain reaction.
Doihara Kan'er took the initiative to suggest: "Commander-in-chief! Let's continue with the original plan of advance."
Okamura Ningchi waved his hand and said, "Intelligence Officer Doihara! You are an intelligence officer, so you should learn from the head of the Shadow Agency and stop interfering in the operations of the group army."
"Hello!"
Doihara Kan'er nodded shamelessly.
Wuhan, Ninth War Zone Operations Research Office.
After receiving the information provided by Xiang Chu, Minister Chen was discussing with other superiors how to eliminate the Hata special attack team that attacked the front-line command post, the Duchang Japanese bomber airport, and the super-large oil depot south of Qintan Lake in Anqing.
After much discussion from noon till 6:30 in the evening, no superior took the initiative to take over.
The Air Force major general who attended the meeting also said sarcastically: "The super-large oil depot in Anqing is guarded by not only a ground battalion, but also four anti-aircraft artillery battalions in the east, west, south and north. It is as solid as a rock."
An army major general also hurriedly said: "The Hata special attack team is elusive and it is really impossible to catch them. As for the Duchang bombing airport, it is better to send the air force to bomb it."
Minister Chen frowned and said, "Everyone! Let's not talk about the Hata Special Attack Team for now. If we can blow up the Japanese oil depot in Anqing and the airport in Duchang, it will greatly delay their attack on Wuhan."
The officers knew that it would be too difficult to advance deep into the enemy's territory alone, so they all kept silent.
At this time, Dai Nong ran in and said happily: "Everyone! According to reliable intelligence from our Military Control Commission, the Japanese Hata Special Attack Team mysteriously disappeared, and the Duchang Japanese bomber airport was attacked. 13 bombers, as well as oil and ammunition depots, and more than 30 vehicles were all blown up."
Xu Zeng ran in and said happily, "Everyone! According to reliable intelligence from our Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the Japanese's super-large oil depot south of Qintan Lake in Anqing was destroyed by aircraft bombing."
"real?!"
Minister Chen stood up excitedly.
Everyone asked in unison: "Who did it?!"
"do not know!"
Dai Nong and Xu Zeng said in unison.
At this time, Song Xi rushed in and handed a telegram to Minister Chen.
After reading the telegram, Minister Chen suppressed his joy and returned it to Song Xi, saying, "Secretary Song! Thank you for your Chaofaxizhi Airlines for helping me transport so many new weapons."
"You're welcome!"
Song Xi took the telegram paper, turned around and ran out of the meeting room.
Minister Chen said with a smile, "Everyone! Since someone has completed the task for us, today's meeting is over. Air Force Director Jiang, please stay."
Nishikura, captain's room.
Zhang Linmao wanted to bring more food and radios, and then drive the motorboat closer to Wuhan to pick up Xiang Chu, so he made a special trip back to the ship and was reporting to Yu Xiaowan and Xu Lai in the captain's room.
"Madams! When the commander led us to destroy the Hatan Special Attack Team, a Japanese soldier escaped and was chased all the way to the Duchang Japanese bomber airport... Finally, the commander took Daochang Gan to fly a plane to bomb the huge oil depot in Anqing, and said he would turn around and land at Wuhan Airport."
After Zhang Linmao finished his description, Yu Xiaowan and Xu Lai were already stunned.
Yu Xiaowan was surprised and asked, "You actually did so many things in one go?"
Zhang Linmao nodded and said, "Yes! All traces of exposure have been cleared."
Xu Lai ran to the radio and asked anxiously, "Lieutenant Colonel Zhang! Which radio station did Daochang Gan use as his call sign?"
Before Zhang Linmao could answer, a message came from the internal call sign radio of the film agency.
"Great!"
Xu Lai said happily, and quickly copied and translated the message:
"Headquarters! We have arrived in Chudu."
Yu Xiaowan took the telegram and read it, and said happily: "Our man is simply amazing!"
"Madams! I'll take the motorboat to pick up the commander."
Zhang Linmao said happily, turned around and ran out of the captain's room.
At Wuhan Airport, several bonfires have illuminated the runway.
A Japanese Type 98 light bomber flew through the night and landed on the runway.
The tower commander was extremely surprised, but he had received orders not to ask a single question.
Soon, the Japanese bomber slid onto the apron and stopped steadily.
A car rushed over in the night and braked under the bomber.
Song Xi opened the door and got out of the car, excitedly running towards Xiang Chu who was walking down the gangway.
"Brother! Sister Xi!"
The two hugged each other tightly and did not separate for a long time.
Xiang Chu and Gan Rong immediately changed into the uniforms of the National Army.
Song Xi drove the car and took them away from the airport quickly.
Two Air Force ground crew members immediately ran towards bomber No. 2998 with paint and brushes.
In accordance with orders from superiors, the plane was painted into the identification color of the Kuomintang bomber overnight.
At this time, at the Duchang Japanese bomber airport.
Doihara Kenji brought all the bamboo machine crew members here at night with torches.
The oil depot was still burning fiercely, illuminating the bombed airport which looked like a scene from hell.
The ground was littered with the charred and blown-up bodies of the Japanese devils, as well as the bodies of several Chinese soldiers, all of whom looked unrecognizable.
There were also wreckages of 12 planes and 30 cars, with spare parts and tires scattered all over the ground, which shocked the Japanese.
Doihara Kan'er held the airport information and asked in confusion: "Takahashi Taisho! Didn't you say there were 13 planes? Why are there only 12 here?"
The Japanese lieutenant colonel Takahashi Taisho said bitterly: "Mr. Intelligence Officer! According to the Imperial Anti-aircraft Artillery Unit in Anqing, an Imperial plane bombed the Qintan Lake super-large oil depot."
Doihara Xian'er yelled, "Baka! Don't mention the word super large again."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Taisho nodded hastily, pointing at the burning oil depot and said,
"Your Excellency the Intelligence Officer! Do you want to put out the fire at the oil depot?"
Doihara Xian'er roared, "Baka! Stop mentioning the oil depot. Hurry up and take people to find clues and find the culprit who attacked the airport. This intelligence officer will tear him into pieces."
Takahashi Daisho hurriedly took the order and led the Japanese agents to search for clues.
Finally, he came to a conclusion:
"Mr. Intelligence Officer! According to Takahashi's judgment, this was done by the Chinese regular army."
Doihara Xian'er was also busy, investigating various aspects and shaking his head, saying, "No! Based on the means used to kill the person at the scene, this should be the work of the Xiang Chu Supervisory Team. Only this unit can do this."
Gao Qiao Dazheng was surprised and asked: "Could it be that Xiang Chu is not dead yet?"
Doihara Kan'er rolled his eyes at him and scolded:
"Xiang Chu died a long time ago, but his supervisory team is still here!"
He paused, smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry! There are no unsung heroes in China. The 'Trojan Horse Man' in Wuhan will tell us everything!"
