Chapter 233 Race against time
"Chief of Staff Nakamura..."
After receiving the order, Director Yin didn't say a word. He was about to state his request, but Chief of Staff Nakamura closed the door of his office and didn't give these traitors any face at all.
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Director Yin was also very angry. You just want me to return to the front line. You don’t dare to face the people of the 72nd Brigade, so do we dare to do that?
"Director, what should we do? I just received a call from my security team. The people from the third group are even more powerful than before. They all came here in those strange vehicles, the armored vehicles you mentioned before. There's not even a single person walking."
A sharp-faced and monkey-faced county chief under Director Yin said that since this guy heard about it, he moved his entire family to Tianjin and didn't dare to go back.
"You ask me how I know this, but Chief of Staff Nakamura has already said that everyone should return to their bases. If anyone continues to stay in Jincheng and gets caught by these people, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
Director Yin said speechlessly that they couldn't stay in the Japanese headquarters anyway. The people under his command also rolled their eyes. Seeing that the territory could not be saved, they could not risk their lives. There were many places to hide in Tianjin. Let's find a place to wait for the result.
In fact, Chief of Staff Nakamura also knew that it was a pipe dream to expect these traitors to return to their own territory to resist the 72nd Brigade, but he could not let them stay in Tianjin openly.

"Brothers, hurry up! We just received a message from our intelligence department that the Watanabe Battalion has received an order and is retreating to Jincheng at a rapid speed. The brigade commander has not authorized it. If we can break into Jincheng and catch up with them before they retreat, we will get the credit. If we can't outrun them, then we will be ridiculed by the brothers in the first and second regiments."
Zhao Tiezhu said anxiously that it was not difficult for him to kill a Japanese infantry battalion in a long-distance raid. He had done it before, but the problem was that the Watanabe Battalion was trying to escape.
Strange things happen every year, but there are more of them this year. In the past, when we heard about the Japanese army, they would fight you to the death. No matter what the situation was, they would never run away. But now, the Watanabe Battalion came out of Tianjin in a triumphant manner without firing a shot, but now they have to run back in disgrace.
I have just spoken to Li Shaoyi. Li Shaoyi doesn't care about this. Anyway, the mission has been given to you. Whether you can catch him or not is the business of your Third Regiment. Don't say that I am partial. The First and Second Regiments have done what they should do. If you can't do it, it means that your Third Regiment is incompetent.
Who could stand this? So Zhao Tiezhu ordered his men to rush forward.
"Report to the commander, there seems to be a plane in the front left direction."
When Zhao Tiezhu was getting angry, the sound of airplanes roaring in the sky was heard. The Japanese were trying to stop us from attacking the Watanabe Battalion, and they had all kinds of dirty tricks.
"Disperse in anti-aircraft formation, and all units halt their advance."
Five planes appeared in the sky, and Zhao Tiezhu felt nervous. If he continued on his way, he might be attacked by them. Our armored vehicles also have anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns. If these five planes really want to bomb us, we are not without the ability to fight back. It is hard to say who will live and who will die at that time.
It's like a rainy day. We didn't have enough time to pursue, and now you damn planes are here to cause trouble.
The target on the ground was very obvious. After the reconnaissance planes discovered it, two of them immediately came down with their wings flashing. Although they were only equipped with two 50-kilogram bombs, they had to make some noise to delay for a few hours so that the Watanabe Battalion could run back.
But before the two planes could find the best bombing route, the anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns on the ground opened fire first.
"I was shot on the left wing, I was shot on the left wing..."
A Japanese pilot howled loudly, saying that they had been in Long Country for quite some time and had always been conducting reconnaissance and taking photos in a swaggering manner. Apart from some light machine guns on the ground, there was no strong firepower at all.
The situation in movies and TV shows where a few people with a light machine gun can shoot down a plane is basically impossible. But if there are more than a dozen heavy machine guns on the ground, plus a 20mm cannon, it will be very easy to shoot it down.
Another plane saw its comrade's heavy load and immediately prepared to take off, but below it, several armored vehicles had already been prepared. Black smoke appeared one after another around the plane. The pilot knew very well that this was the result of the explosion of anti-aircraft shells.
Some shrapnel penetrated the cockpit directly and made the pilot's arms unable to move. The guy let out a howling sound.
But this was not the end yet. A heavy machine gun on the ground fired directly from the nose to the tail of the plane.
The pilot was hit by two bullets in the sky and had no control over the plane. He crashed into a farmland with black smoke billowing out of it. He was dead.
The first two planes launched the attack and now they have gone to report to Amaterasu. The remaining three planes did not dare to continue the attack. They took a few photos from a distance and flew away.
"These damn guys know that our wheels can't catch up with them. Order all troops to continue observing and speed up."
Zhao Tiezhu pounded the roof of the car hard. If we were fast enough, these three planes would never have escaped.
However, after these three planes realize how powerful we are, they should not continue to cause trouble, unless they have a problem with their brains. Our air defense firepower is really strong to a certain extent.
After learning that Zhao Tiezhu had shot down two planes, Li Shaoyi quickly ordered follow-up reporters to go over. If we had filmed it at the time, it would have been a great encouragement to us. After all, this was the first time that a Japanese plane was shot down on the ground in North China.
The symbolic significance is even stronger than that of Japan's Watanabe Battalion.
But Zhao Tiezhu was too lazy to care about this at the moment. In his eyes, there was only the 1,300-man Watanabe Battalion. Li Shaoyi's words were still repeating in his head. I have assigned the combat mission to you. If you can't deal with the Watanabe Battalion, it means that your Third Regiment is not good enough...
