Chapter 137 Japanese Army at Zhengzhou Airport
Chapter 137 Japanese Army at Zhengzhou Airport
With a quick thought, Zheng Xian immediately understood what the girl in front of him was thinking.
He smiled and began to explain.
"There's something I forgot to tell you earlier. The reason Xiao Luo and I came to Zhengzhou this time is because of this poison gas bomb."
With Hu Mengyan looking somewhat surprised, Zheng Xian explained the whole story to her.
He added at the end, "Speaking of which, Xiao Luo should also be considered my savior."
Hu Mengyan didn't expect that the investigation order that the organization had just issued would have results so soon.
He immediately returned to the house and sent the information Zheng had provided back to headquarters.
Red Party Headquarters, Telecommunications Section Office.
Bai Xiumei is currently the head of the propaganda department of the Red Party, responsible for the Red Party's external propaganda work, including some communication with the Blue Party. However, she is also the direct leader of three first-level intelligence agents in private.
He also served as the head of the headquarters' telecommunications department, responsible for summarizing and verifying the intelligence he obtained.
At this moment, Bai Xiumei looked at the telegram that Zheng City had just sent, which said that Bai Luo had been found, and she was both surprised and delighted.
The good news is that we finally have news about the little one.
To her shock, she had just received news from her comrades in the Northern Anti-Japanese United Army that the Japanese were very likely to use poison gas in the battle of Yangshi.
This made Bai Xiumei worry about the situation of her two children.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Bai Xiumei quickly composed herself and began to speak.
"Enter."
Upon hearing Bai Xiumei's voice from inside, the person at the door immediately pushed the door open and entered, quickly speaking to Bai Xiumei.
"Section Chief, Paper Kite has sent word that they have poison gas."
Bai Xiumei was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "So fast? The order was just given and there's already news?"
Surprised as she was, Bai Xiumei reacted quickly, immediately taking the intelligence from her subordinate.
Upon seeing the report from Zhiyuan, Bai Xiumei cursed under her breath again for this troublesome little brat, always running off to wherever there's danger.
Knowing that Zhiyuan and Bailu had already met, the two even planned to bomb the Japanese airfield to delay the Japanese from using poison gas.
This will buy time for the rear to prepare for the possibility that the Japanese might use poison gas on the battlefield.
Bai Xiumei couldn't help but start to worry about Bai Luo again.
But thinking of Bai Luo's abilities, Bai Xiumei breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At that time, Bai Luo led several men with little fighting ability and fought his way through the encirclement of a large number of Japanese soldiers.
We're just quietly bombing a Japanese airfield, and with someone as experienced in combat as Zhiyuan nearby, there shouldn't be too much danger.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiumei gradually calmed down and regained her composure.
“Send a telegram to the kite and tell it to act according to the situation, and to proceed only when it is safe to do so.”
"Yes."
After her subordinates left, Bai Xiumei walked to the window and took out a somewhat worn photograph from her bosom.
Looking at the two smiling children in the photo, Bai Xiumei couldn't help but smile slightly.
After receiving the reply from the organization, Zheng Xian did not stay with Hu Mengyan for long. If the Blue Party's intelligence agency noticed him, who knows what trouble might arise.
After saying goodbye to Hu Mengyan, Zheng Xianxian went to the alley where Bai Luo had hidden his equipment. He picked up all his equipment and his eyes unconsciously looked at the marks left by Bai Luo.
He cursed the rascal in his heart, then erased the smug grin that Bai Luo had drawn.
They hurried out of the town and headed towards Zhengzhou. The Kuomintang intelligence station in this town was not equipped with a radio and could not directly contact the Kuomintang's rear.
Normally, it is only used as a transit station and a logistics warehouse for Zhengzhou.
He estimated that Bai Luo would act at night, so he needed to go to Zhengzhou to prepare some things first, and at the same time report the news that the Japanese had a large number of poison gas bombs in Gongxian County.
Bai Luo, after finishing his third bowl of spicy soup and eight baskets of soup dumplings, patted his belly contentedly and paid the bill.
The breakfast stall owner felt somewhat relieved to see Bai Luo's belly slightly bulging after eating so much.
Thankfully, my son isn't that extravagant. Otherwise, I really couldn't afford to raise him.
After eating and drinking his fill, Bai Luo determined the direction and then quickly ran towards the east of Zhengzhou.
Less than 3 kilometers outside the east gate of Zhengzhou, Bai Luo heard the roar of an airplane.
Bai Luo turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw two Japanese planes that had just taken off in the distance to his left front, circling one after the other at low altitude.
Then they formed a formation and flew straight west.
Judging from the direction of the flight, the destination is probably Gongxian County or Yangshi City.
Watching the Japanese plane gradually disappear from sight, Bai Luo was overjoyed. He had found it as soon as he left the city. He was really lucky.
Quickly averting his gaze, Bai Luo turned and sprinted towards the direction where the Japanese plane had taken off.
Bai Luo was running at full speed, like a snow leopard on the hunt, but the tiger-head hat on his head was a bit out of place.
Within ten minutes, the Japanese soldiers' insignia appeared on Bai Luo's mental radar. Bai Luo raised an eyebrow.
He thought to himself, "We're almost there."
Carefully avoiding the minefield laid by the Japanese in the woods behind the airport, Bai Luo slowly made his way to the outer perimeter of the airport.
He found a small mound with a good view and thick with withered grass, lay down, and took out his binoculars to observe the defenses of the Japanese airfield.
Bai Luo immediately noticed that this airport was much larger than the airport in Gongxian County.
There are three runways in the middle of the airport for aircraft to take off and land.
The runway is about 500 meters long and 20 meters wide. There are a total of 6 watchtowers around it, which stand at the four corners of the airport and at the two exits.
Under Bai Luo's high-powered binoculars, the machine gun barrel protruding from the watchtower's observation port was easily spotted.
Bai Luo counted that each observation post contained at least three heavy machine guns.
Each tower was also topped with an anti-aircraft machine gun, clearly to prevent attacks from Blue Party aircraft.
There are also many searchlights on the watchtowers. The six watchtowers can basically ensure that there are no blind spots for attack around the airport.
Moreover, the airport is surrounded by barbed wire, and there appear to be landmines laid in the surrounding wasteland.
Although the number of Japanese defenders seen by the monitoring radar in Bai Luo's mind was not large, only about 400 Japanese soldiers, their firepower was by no means weak.
At the end of the three runways was a huge apron, filled with all kinds of Japanese aircraft. Bai Luo estimated that there were more than 30 bombers alone.
After recording the coordinates of Zhengzhou Airport, Bai Luo returned the way he came.
Through his observations over the past few days, he discovered that the Japanese soldiers took off the least frequently during dinner time.
Furthermore, bombing airfields at night makes it easier to conceal the smoke trails produced by rockets.
After determining the attack time, Bai Luo slowly retreated, preparing to find a suitable launch point, and then waited for night to fall.
But three hours after Bai Luo left, the Japanese airport welcomed another uninvited guest.
Zheng Xian lay down on the earthen slope where Bai Luo had been lying, looking at the withered grass on the slope.
Although it has been treated, some signs of bending due to heavy objects can still be found.
Zheng Xian smiled inwardly, knowing that Bai Luo should have already come.
