Chapter 497 Reconnaissance

It was not until this time that the Japanese army received some news about the expeditionary force.

The news was even transmitted to Chenyang by a landlord by a private phone... Although the scouts who were experiencing in with fellow villagers tried their best to cut the phone line and block the news, there were always some missed fish, so the news was transferred several times to Lieutenant General Fumiyuan of the Yamashita.

"What?" Yamashita Fumiya was shocked when he heard this information: "The information said that a Chinese army had already reached Yingkou? How could it be? Did they fall from the sky?!"

"Lieutenant General!" The staff officer replied nervously: "It is said... this force is the Chinese Expeditionary Force!"

"Chinese Expeditionary Force?" Yamashita Fumito shook his head and said, "No, no... The Chinese Expeditionary Force is in Iwo Jima, and they are preparing to attack Okinawa, and it is impossible for them to appear here!"

"Lieutenant General!" reminded the staff: "First, the Belt and Road lost contact with us, then the Matsumoto United, and then Yingkou... These units all have radio stations. This situation seems to be only one explanation, that is, the enemy captured these cities or troops at an extremely fast speed, so that they did not even have time to report with radio stations..."

Yamashita Fumiya couldn't help but open his mouth halfway: "Toyokawa, what do you mean... the Chinese team defeated them before they could send a telegram? Including Matsumoto United?"

"It's very likely!" The staff nodded: "If it was the Chinese Expeditionary Force... You should know that this unit is equipped with advanced American equipment and rich combat experience. The most elite second division of the Imperial Army was defeated under their hands, let alone us..."

Yamashita Fumiyama's face became more and more cautious. After thinking about it, he ordered: "Change two fighter jets immediately to reconnaissance!"

"yes!"

The two fighter planes soon took off from Dongta Airport and flew to Lushun...

In fact, Yamashita Fumiyama should have done this long ago. The reason why he did not do this was that there were few fighter jets left at Dongta Airport, only seven... and these seven were under maintenance with some minor faults, and the rest were all sent to the front line to support the battle.

Another is that aviation gasoline at this time was extremely tight strategic resources for the Japanese army. Even pilots could not use aviation gasoline in training, but used alternative oil with low ambient value. Therefore, in order to use this extremely lack of resources as much as possible on the battlefield, fighter jets at the rear airports were generally not allowed to take off.

Generally speaking, the puppet Manchukuo State belongs to the rear and does not require any reconnaissance, so it will be delayed until this time.

However, the two fighter planes flew together, and Zhang Chi quickly got news... A place as important as Dongta Airport, of course, was arranged to observe the nearby area.

Then, the Chinese Navy also received news, and soon several "Hellcat" fighter jets took off and headed towards the enemy plane given by intelligence...

This is an embarrassing part of the Chinese Air Force. The US S-type air-to-air radar can only detect enemy aircraft about 150 kilometers, and this distance should be a fleet of aircraft. If it is one or two enemy aircraft, the detection distance will be shorter.

At this time, the Chinese team was already more than 200 kilometers away from Lushun, so the air radar was completely useless.

But this does not affect the cover of the "Hellcat" fighter jets on Chinese troops... Because there is no need to think about it, the enemy planes must also reconnaissance along the railway line or highway line. This is the most likely place for the enemy to appear, so you can still set up an ambush without a radar.

Of course, there is a way to use radar. The reason is that Yingkou is also a sea-based city. As long as the Chinese fleet goes north and enters Liaodong Bay, Yingkou will be directly within the range of the Chinese Navy's naval gun.

However, this is very dangerous for the Chinese fleet... Because the Liaodong Bay is surrounded by Japanese-controlled cities, such as Qinhuangdao, Huludao, Jinzhou, Panjin, etc., they form a natural encirclement of the Liaodong Bay. Of course, there is no need for the Chinese fleet to take risks for this convenience.

As expected, the enemy and us were more than 200 kilometers away from the Chinese team, and the "Hellcat" was much faster than the Japanese Zero fighter jets, so we rushed to the designated airspace first and hid in the high-altitude clouds.

The two fighter jets that the Japanese army came to reconnaissance did not agree at first. They thought this was Manzhou State and how could there be enemies, so they just regarded this mission as a patrol similar to a mountain and water tour.

However, when they were about to reach the sky above Haicheng, they suddenly found a long convoy lined up on the road ahead...

"Well, what is that?" Yamaguchi Sergeant couldn't help but screamed in surprise: "Is that the target we are going to reconnaise?"

At the same time, Lieutenant Nasu also discovered the convoy. With his combat experience, he knew at the first time that it was a mechanized unit equipped with advanced equipment, so he couldn't help but gasp. If this was an enemy, it would be an enemy with what kind of combat effectiveness!

But Naruto was still cautious, and he ordered Yamaguchi: "Reduce the height and take a closer look!"

"Yes!" Yamaguchi responded.

The two fighter jets dived towards the Chinese convoy almost at the same time, but at this moment, several figures suddenly flashed above their heads, as fast and agile as an eagle diving from the sky.

"Enemy plane!" Nasu screamed, and at the same time realized that he was finished, because Zero War was diving at this time... Zero War's diving performance was very poor, and at the same time he didn't have time to turn to escape. Especially Nasu noticed that the speed of those "eagles" were not comparable to those of his old Zero War. He had no chance to escape.

Sure enough, with a gunshot, Yamaguchi's fighter plane was quickly hit and rushed to the ground.

At this time, Na Xu gritted his teeth and gave up the idea of ​​running away... He knew he had no chance, so he simply continued to hit the "suspicious convoy" on the ground.

Nasu's approach was correct, because it would make his plane just above the convoy, and the machine gun bullets fired from the "Eagle" from above would likely hit the convoy below... So the "Eagle" threw a mouse and was afraid of it.

But this does not mean that the "eagle" has no choice.

Just when Naruto thought he could hit at least one target... he was surprised to find that two "eagles" had already gone around his flank!

What kind of speed is this? It can easily go around your flank and turn the head when you dive at full speed...

Then, there was another gunshot, and Nashu felt his fighter plane lost control.

The moment he landed, Na Xu finally saw clearly that the troops on the ground were indeed the enemy.

(To be continued.).
