Chapter 1487 The Japs are starting to go downhill
On the streets of Shanghai, newsboys waved their newspapers and shouted:
"Doolittle bombs the Fuso mainland!"
This piece of news was like a bolt from the blue, attracting the attention of passers-by and causing them to rush to buy newspapers.
Xiang Chu ordered, "Nobi-kun! Stop the car. Xiaolang! Go down and buy two newspapers."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong and Zhang Fei hurriedly accepted the order.
"Creaky!"
The car stopped by the street.
Zhang Fei hurriedly got off the bus, bought two newspapers and got back on.
Xiang Chu flipped through the newspaper and smiled bitterly, "US Army Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle led 16 B25 bombers taking off from the USS Hornet and bombing military and industrial facilities in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe and other places."
Gan Rong asked with a smile: "Chief! Did the 16 planes escape after the bombing?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "After the bombing, they couldn't return to the aircraft carrier and flew to airports controlled by our army in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, etc."
Gan Rong exclaimed in shock, "The devils will surely launch a frenzied revenge against the Fifth War Zone."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! The Japs will definitely launch the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "The newspaper said that only 50 people were killed and 90 buildings were damaged. The effect was minimal."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! The Japs always like to report good news but not bad news, which greatly minimizes losses. This is the first time that the Japs' homeland has been attacked by air, which breaks the myth of the Japanese army's "absolute safety of the homeland", which is of great significance."
Gan Rong nodded and said, "Yes! The Japs are starting to go downhill."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "We haven't reached a turning point yet. The Allied forces are still in a passive position in North Africa, the Pacific, Southeast Asia, and other places."
Zhang Fei said thoughtfully, "Brother Xiang! I was just in Dongzi's office and saw the telegraph operator practicing receiving plaintext messages. He mentioned a place several times."
Xiang Chu asked with a smile: "What place did you mention?"
Zhang Fei blurted out: "Midway Island!"
Xiang Chu asked doubtfully, "It seems this is a telegram sent by the Japanese Navy. Midway Island is currently controlled by the US military. Could it be that the Japanese Navy plans to attack Midway Island next?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Who cares! I'll send it to Sister Caiwei."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Send it! It might be helpful to alert the allies."
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly took the order and sent a telegram.
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Chief! I heard from Ma Wei that because the US military has joined the war, many people in the Wang Puppet Government feel that the Japanese can't win and are starting to look for a way out."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Those Wang puppet regimes are good at taking advantage of opportunities. It seems they are quite good at judging the situation. It's a pity that they have taken the wrong path in this life."
At this time, Zhang Fei received a reply from Ning Caiwei, reporting:
"Chief! My sister-in-law has relayed the message to the Allies, saying this intelligence is extremely important and could very well turn the tide of the Pacific War."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "How can it be so mysterious?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "It's often this kind of inadvertent intelligence that can reveal a shocking conspiracy behind it."
At this time, Gan Rong had already driven the car to Hongqiao Airport.
The airport is under martial law and no vehicles are allowed to enter.
Xiang Chu scolded the Japanese guards on duty:
"Baga! Why aren't you letting me into the airport?"
The Japanese guard saluted him and reported loudly:
"Your Excellency, General! Our superiors have ordered that a batch of secret weapons be transported from the country to the airport. No one is allowed to approach the airport. Please be patient."
Xiang Chu praised: "Not bad! You are quite good at talking. Nobi-kun! Pull over. I will go into the terminal to coordinate the takeoff arrangements."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu got off the car and walked into the terminal.
He wore the rank of general and no one dared to stop him.
Soon, he walked into the terminal and went straight to the flight control center.
Many military aircraft were coming in and out, and the air traffic control center was very busy.
Xiang Chu heard the flight controller shouting on the loudspeaker: "Please dispatch tractor No. 22 and tow transport aircraft No. 2087 to the indoor hangar."
The driver of tractor No. 22 said unhappily, "Aviation Control! I haven't eaten yet. Can you wait a moment before towing?"
The air traffic controller said sternly, "No! Plane 2087 is transporting plague and cholera bombs. There can't be any mistakes."
"Hello!"
Tractor No. 22 hurriedly received the order.
Xiang Chu checked the aircraft route map and found aircraft No. 2087, which will fly to Quzhou at 3 pm today to carry out the mission of dropping biological weapons.
The air traffic control center was too busy, so Xiang Chu simply turned around and walked out.
He returned to the car, took the radio, and reported to Song Xi that plane 2087 was about to drop a biological bomb on the military and civilians in Quzhou, hoping that a plane could be sent to intercept it.
Not long after, Song Xi called back: "Brother! We've notified the US Air Force and are trying to shoot it down."
Xiang Chu and the other two waited outside the gate. At 3 pm, plane No. 3 took off and flew south.
The Japanese guard on duty rushed forward and said respectfully:
"Your Excellency, General! Please come in."
Xiang Chu said happily: "Yoshi! It's finally our turn. Nobi-kun! Enter the airport."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong hurriedly took the order, started the engine, and headed straight for the bomber.
A transport plane shaped like 2087 is taking off.
Xiang Chu was surprised and asked, "Could this transport plane also be used to drop biological bombs?"
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Chief! I can't care about so many things."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! We don't know where this plane is going."
Gan Rong drove the car all the way to the side of the bomber.
Xiang Chu boarded the plane, sat in the cockpit, and contacted the tower for takeoff.
The tower replied: "Captain Shadow! Wait a moment! One of our planes has just been shot down by a US fighter jet."
Xiang Chu said angrily, "I flew to Nanjing and arrived in half an hour. What can the American plane do to me? I have been waiting for most of the day. Now the runway is empty. You must let my plane take off immediately."
The control tower couldn't persuade him and said helplessly: "Okay! Please be careful."
"Isn't air superiority still in our hands?"
Xiang Chu muttered as he started the engine, slid the plane onto the runway, and accelerated forward.
Soon, his bomber rushed into the clouds and flew towards Nanjing.
Nanjing, Wang Manxue's residence.
Mrs. Wang persuaded her, "Manxue! Why don't you stay in Nanjing? Why do you want to go to Hong Kong Island?"
Wang Manxue shook her head and said, "People in Nanjing are dark and sinister. The people are pointing fingers and cursing at us. The American troops are joining the war and people are panicking. The Japanese are starting to go downhill."
Mrs. Wang scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! The Fuso army will never fail."
Wang Manxue didn't argue with her. She said softly, "Mom! My assets are all in Hong Kong Island. I can't just leave them alone."
Mrs. Wang said in disbelief, "What kind of property do you have in Hong Kong Island?"
Wang Manxue smiled and said, "In addition to the airline and shipping companies, I've now bought a large area of property in Hong Kong Island, as well as a large mine and port in Borneo. I must return them to my name."
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Yes! That guy has a lot of women, so don't let him suffer any loss. But now the Fuso Air Force is running low on fuel. Can he fly a plane to pick you and Nanfeng up to Hong Kong Island?"
Wang Manxue said confidently: "Of course!"
Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Don't get your hopes up too much."
At this time, the servant came in and reported:
"Miss! The movie star Gu Baoge is here. Please get in the car with the young master and go to the airport."
"it is good!"
Wang Manxue said happily, pulling her son away from this dangerous place.
