Chapter 260: The Arsenal is Discovered, the Japanese Air Force Attacks
11 month 5 day.
On a small path near Wild Wolf Mountain.
An old man walked slowly forward, seemingly just an ordinary villager, heading towards Wild Wolf Mountain.
When he approached Wild Wolf Mountain, two soldiers suddenly rushed out from the intersection.
One of the soldiers said sternly, "Old man, this is a military stronghold. You can't go any further."
The soldier's eyes were full of vigilance.
The old man said slowly and calmly, "Eighth Route Army soldier, I am a villager nearby. I wanted to take a shortcut through Wild Wolf Mountain. I didn't know this was a military stronghold. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, the old man walked back carrying the firewood, looking towards Wild Wolf Mountain from time to time.
However, this seemingly ordinary old man is actually a traitor and spy for the Japanese.
He cleverly disguised himself and successfully sneaked into the base, secretly carrying out covert reconnaissance activities.
During this period, the Security Department of the Independent Column continued to interrogate suspicious strangers, and many spies were identified and captured by the Security Department.
However, this cunning old man successfully evaded the Security Department's rigorous searches time and time again with his superb acting skills and disguise.
After all, no one would easily suspect that an old man in his sixties was a deeply hidden spy.
When the old man accidentally noticed the abnormality in Wild Wolf Mountain, he keenly realized that important clues might be hidden therein.
So he took action without hesitation.
Now it seems that his guess has been confirmed - there must be a major secret of the Independent Column hidden in Wild Wolf Mountain.
It is even possible that the arsenal they have been looking for is hidden in this mysterious mountain range.
That night, everything was silent, and the old man sneaked into Wild Wolf Mountain quietly like a ghost.
He took every step carefully, afraid to make the slightest sound and alert the guards.
With his agility and rich experience, he successfully circumvented the sentry.
When he came to a mountain, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, illuminating the scene ahead for him.
He raised his head slightly, and what he saw was a thermal power plant standing in the Wild Wolf Mountain.
This scene shocked him so much that his eyes widened and his heart was filled with disbelief.
It was really beyond his expectation that the Eighth Route Army could build a power plant in this mountain.
However, before he could rejoice in this discovery, he noticed the approaching patrol team.
The presence of the patrol team left him with no chance to explore further, so he had no choice but to give up the idea.
After leaving Wild Wolf Mountain, he came to an unknown hill.
It was deserted and quiet here, and the only sound you could hear was the rustling of the grass in the breeze.
He skillfully found the radio station that the team had buried here in advance, quickly turned it on, and began to send messages to the Peking Headquarters.
.............
Beiping.
In the Intelligence Department of the North China Front Army Headquarters.
After receiving the telegram from the old man, the correspondent knew the importance of the matter and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He immediately stood up and reported to the section chief.
The messenger hurried to the section chief and said in a hurried tone: "Section Chief, I just received a telegram from the intelligence officer."
The section chief took the telegram and was overjoyed the moment he saw its contents.
They have been searching for the secret of the Independent Column for a long time. Although they have not found the secret weapon of the Eighth Route Army, the discovery of a power plant is also a major achievement.
Various thoughts flashed through the section chief's mind quickly, and he deduced: If there is a power plant inside Wild Wolf Mountain, then there must be an arsenal inside.
Otherwise, so many weapons and equipment of the Independent Column could not have appeared out of thin air. There must be a huge arsenal in Yelang Mountain, and the power plant undoubtedly exists to generate electricity for the arsenal.
Thinking of this, the intelligence chief could no longer suppress his excitement. He held the telegram tightly and immediately ran towards the headquarters with the intelligence.
After 5 minutes.
The intelligence chief walked into Ningji Okamura's office to report.
He straightened his body and said respectfully: "Report to the commander, our intelligence personnel have discovered a thermal power plant of the Eighth Route Army Independent Column in Wild Wolf Mountain. Its arsenal is likely to be in Wild Wolf Mountain as well."
When Okamura Neiji heard the news, he was overjoyed and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Finally, he found the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army Independent Column. This was undoubtedly the only good news he had heard in this period of time.
He said appreciatively, "Yoshi, the intelligence class is very good.
Keep working hard to find the Eighth Route Army's secret weapon. The headquarters is very eager to get the secret weapon."
"Hai."
The intelligence chief responded.
After the intelligence chief left, Okamura Neiji immediately picked up the phone on the table and called the First Army Headquarters.
After the call was connected, Ningci Okamura said seriously: "Yoshio Kozuka, this is Ningci Okamura, the intelligence personnel found that the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army Independent Column is in Wild Wolf Mountain.
Order the Taiyuan Air Force Brigade to attack immediately and bomb the thermal power plant and arsenal in Yelang Mountain."
"Hai."
After Yoshio Kozuka hung up the phone, he was ecstatic.
He thought to himself that he could finally get his revenge.
After destroying the Independent Column's arsenal, the Independent Column lost its supply of weapons and ammunition.
Next, he could mobilize a large army to wipe out all the independent columns and avenge his previous humiliation.
............
The next day, at 6 am.
The sky was just beginning to turn pale.
The atmosphere inside Taiyuan Airport is tense and busy.
The Japanese ground crew were like busy ants, nervously refueling and loading bombs on the fighter planes.
Their figures quickly shuttled across the airport.
On the runway, the Japanese pilots stood in a neat row, quietly waiting for the arrival of the captain.
Soon, the Japanese captain Xiao Linquan strode up to the pilot.
"Dear pilots, our mission today is to bomb the power plant in Yelang Mountain. In addition, we also need to find the Eighth Route Army's arsenal in Yelang Mountain.
This mission is very important, and I hope you will do your best."
"Hayi!"
The Japanese pilot responded loudly.
As the ground crew completed their preparations, the Japanese pilot quickly ran towards the plane.
After climbing into the cockpit, they began to check various instruments to ensure that the aircraft would not have any malfunctions during the flight.
When everything was ready, the Japanese pilot started to ignite.
The sudden and violent buzzing sound broke the tranquility of the early morning.
The aviation brigade's 20 fighters and 10 bombers were deployed in full force.
Plane after plane came onto the runway and began to taxi quickly on the runway, getting faster and faster, bringing up a gust of wind.
Then, he suddenly raised his head and flew into the sky.
10 minute later.
All the aircraft of the aviation brigade took off smoothly.
They formed a tight flying formation in the sky and flew towards Wild Wolf Mountain.
