Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

The Japanese captain quietly put away his surprised look, then said to Lieutenant Yamazaki with a smile:

"Haha, just kidding. Of course we can trust His Excellency Abe Taiji's arrangements, and he certainly won't joke about our lives. Of course, if the empire needs our sacrifice, then we will definitely die and be loyal to His Majesty!"

"Hayi!"

Lieutenant Yamazaki said nothing more, but led the way quietly in front, and then returned to the command room on the second floor, which was equivalent to a small control tower.

The command room is a room of more than 100 square meters with glass windows on all four sides, overlooking the entire airport.

As soon as Lieutenant Yamazaki returned to the command room, the remaining Japanese soldier saw a captain and two lieutenant pilots behind Lieutenant Yamazaki and quickly stood up.

Lieutenant Yamazaki waved at him and called him over.

"Senior, this is our airport command's capable officer, Sergeant Takeuchi! I still need him to take care of me here!"

I have never heard of a central guard needing a sergeant to take care of him.

"Yamazaki-kun, this Sergeant Takeuchi must be extraordinary, to be able to take care of you!"

Lieutenant Yamazaki and Sergeant Takeuchi both showed embarrassed expressions.

"Senior, you may not know that although I am the duty officer, I am still a layman in aircraft command. Because I was transferred from the Abe Battalion not long ago, I was originally an infantryman!"

Although it sounds unbelievable, Lieutenant Yamazaki did not lie. He was indeed transferred from the Abe Battalion to "support" the airport command center.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Since the Welfare Column approached Xilinhot, in order to unify the defense of the airport and the urban area, the North China Front Army Command ordered Abe Taiji to take over the airport.

Since he was taking over the airport, he had to arrange his own people in the airport command center. Leaving his old unit and joining the airport command center was not a good job.

According to the consistent style of the Independent Column, if they want to go to war, they must first blow up the airport, so the runway and the control tower will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt, and the airport command center is on top of the control tower.

The probability of being killed by the explosion is basically equivalent to committing suicide with a Nambu Type 14 pistol, about 50-50.

In addition, even if they were not killed in the explosion, the airport command center was a well-known "night-staying unit". Regardless of whether there were any planes landing or not, they had to keep an eye on the tower to prevent any planes from making an emergency landing.

Therefore, this difficult task was given to Lieutenant Yamazaki, the "goody-goody".

The reason why Taiji Abe gave this task to Lieutenant Yamazaki was, firstly, that no one was willing to come, and secondly, because Lieutenant Yamazaki did not do a good job in his place. He was like a wandering god every day, confused, and did not have the passion and enthusiasm of an imperial warrior at all.

Abe Taiji found an opportunity and stuffed him into the airport command center. Abe Taiji originally thought that he would not be harassed by Lieutenant Yamazaki, but he still thought too much.

Every time Yamazaki was on duty, he would pick up the phone and call Abe Taiji as if he was facing a great enemy as soon as there was any sign of trouble.

The cautious and cunning Abe Taiji would always jump out of bed, draw his sword and be ready to serve the emperor.

But later it was discovered that the so-called enemies were either a hare hanging on an electrified wire fence, a wild boar stepping on a landmine, or even a scarecrow wearing a straw hat, which would be regarded as an enemy by Yamazaki.

Taiji Abe got angry at Lieutenant Yamazaki countless times, asking him to stop harassing him and to get to the bottom of the matter first, but to no avail.

"Lieutenant Yamazaki, you are sent by God to torture me!"

Finally, Abe Taiji figured it out. Since he couldn't change others, he should change himself.

He established a rule that whenever Lieutenant Yamazaki was on duty, all calls would be handled by the Abe Battalion Headquarters, and the results would be reported to him.

The sensitive and alert Taiji Abe was forced by Yamazaki to become a rough man with dull sensitivity.

Yamazaki told his experience somewhat embarrassedly.

"Seniors, just treat this as a joke. It's my duty. Even if Captain Abe is annoyed, I still have to report all special situations according to procedures!"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The Japanese captain laughed.

"Yes, Lieutenant Yamazaki can still maintain a rigorous style in this big melting pot of the military. It is an honor for the empire. Perhaps one day in the future, Captain Abe may thank you!"

“I don’t have any extravagant hopes. I just hope I can return to my hometown and taste some authentic sashimi!”

When Yamazaki was imagining the delicious seafood, he suddenly saw Takeuchi making faces and looking as if he was hiding something.

"Seniors, you guys just walk around, I have something to tell Takeuchi."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy!"

After the Japanese captain finished speaking, he led two Japanese pilots around the tower. When they were far away from Yamazaki, he grabbed one of the pilots and said:

"Captain, I didn't expect it to be so easy to get in! Do you want to attack now?"

That’s right, one of these two dumb-like pilots is Duan Peng, the captain of the Liangshan Special Forces.

"Well, according to the exercise plan, we will control the control tower first. We are high up here and can command the overall situation easily! Also, we must take down the Japanese infantry artillery squad as soon as possible and find the truck loaded with explosives!"

"understand!"

"Act with my eyes!"

At this time, Lieutenant Yamazaki also began to look at Duan Peng and the others frequently, and his expression became more and more serious.

"Takeuchi-kun, are you sure?"

“Of course, it was just daybreak when the planes landed, so I could only see them vaguely, but now I can absolutely confirm that these three planes are not Zero transport planes!

Lieutenant Yamazaki, maybe you just came to the airport command center and can't tell the difference. But I have served in various airport towers for many years and have seen Zero transport planes many times. I am sure! "

After much thought, Lieutenant Yamazaki decided to report the information to the Abe Battalion Headquarters just to be on the safe side.

"Moses, this is Yamazaki. A special situation has been discovered at the airport. Requesting support!"

The other party was silent for half a minute, then yawned and said jokingly:

"What's wrong, Yamazaki-kun? Did you find any wild rabbits or wild boars? Maybe we can have another extra meal today!"

Although Lieutenant Yamazaki is a good guy, it doesn't mean he is stupid. Hearing the other party's ridicule, he did not get angry, but patiently said:

"Please inform Captain Abe that the three planes parked at the airport are not Zero fighters, nor are they Imperial planes. Perhaps they are enemy planes. Please send troops immediately to control them!"
