Devil's Army

The Guangzhou Bay Minister was so angry that he continued to put pressure on the Nanjing government to complain.

The leaders of the Nanjing government continued to negotiate with Leng Feng, asking him to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Leng Feng said that the punishment would be severe, but nothing happened next.

General Long asked Leng Feng with some concern:

"Aren't you afraid that the Nanjing government will do something bad to you?"

"During all these years of fighting the Japanese, when has he ever been nice to me? Has he ever given me a bullet or a grain of food? If he was as pro-Japanese as the Wang Puppet Government, I would have sent troops to rebel against him long ago."

Chairman Long smiled and said nothing. Now Leng Feng had many soldiers and generals, so he was naturally confident.

The French troops in Guangzhou Bay also had a hard time.

The Guangzhou Bay port transportation income that they had previously shared with the Japanese army was now all blocked by the First Anti-Japanese Army.

The tariffs collected from merchants doing business in Guangzhou Bay were also seized by the First Anti-Japanese Army.

The French commander came up with a crooked idea: you set up checkpoints at the city gate to collect customs duties, and I will collect exorbitant taxes inside the city.

French police began to collect taxes from vendors in the streets and alleys of Guangzhou Bay City.

Some vendors dared not speak out, while others reported the matter to the military garrison in Guangzhou Bay.

The battalion commander was furious when he heard this. This was simply banditry.

He immediately sent troops to arrest the French police who were collecting taxes on the streets, and forced these police to return the collected taxes door to door by force.

A French policeman was so angry that he waved his pistol and screamed.

A soldier from the First Army could not understand what he was saying, but seeing him gesticulating and irritating, he knocked him to the ground with the butt of his rifle.

The remaining French policemen behaved well and went door to door returning the money they had just received before their hands had even warmed up.

After this incident, the battalion commander stepped up patrols on the streets.

The merchants also trusted the First Army soldiers more and reported any incidents to the First Army patrol soldiers immediately.

The French soldiers and police, who have always been domineering, are now staying obediently in the barracks and police stations, and dare not go out into the streets to cause trouble.

The commander of the first battalion suggested to the commander of the second regiment that the French army be driven out of Guangzhou Bay. However, the commander of the second regiment disagreed. He told the commander of the first battalion:

"We need to eat one bite at a time and do things one step at a time. Guangzhou Bay has been a French colony since the Qing Dynasty. We now actually have control over Guangzhou Bay and will force the French army out of Guangzhou Bay step by step in the future."

Just as the 1st Regiment of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army recaptured Suixi County and Haikang County, the 4th Aviation Squadron of the 1st Army on Hainan Island bombed Guangzhou Tianhe Airport and Sanzao Island Airport in Zhongshan County.

At that time, the scale of Guangzhou Tianhe Airport was much smaller than that of Sanzao Island Airport in Zhongshan County.

When Captain Du led part of the fighters and bombers of the 4th Air Brigade to strafe and bomb Guangzhou Tianhe Airport, the only remaining Japanese planes at Guangzhou Tianhe Airport quickly took off to fight.

Since the Japanese Tianhe Airport had just been repaired but the anti-aircraft artillery units had not yet been stationed, the First Army Air Force shot down the few Japanese planes without much resistance.

And once again destroyed the Japanese Tianhe Airport.

A part of the 4th Air Squadron of the 1st Army, led by Deputy Captain Liu, came under heavy fire from the Japanese airport's anti-aircraft artillery unit during an air raid on the Sanzao Island Airport in Zhongshan County.

More than 52 new Type Zero fighters from the Japanese Army's Sanzao Island Airport also quickly took off under the cover of anti-aircraft artillery units to engage in combat, engaging in a fierce battle with more than fighters from the th Air Squadron of the First Army.

Although the firepower of this new type of fighter of the Japanese army is not inferior to that of the Chinese fighter of the First Army, its flexibility, especially its speed, is far behind.

So soon after the air battle, the Japanese fighter planes were at a disadvantage and were shot down one after another. However, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units posed a great threat to the First Army's air force.

Just as Deputy Captain Liu was preparing to shoot down all the Japanese fighter planes on Sanzao Island and bomb the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units on Sanzao Island with all his strength, more than 40 fighter planes from the Japanese Shantou Airport came to reinforce.

The situation in the air battle on Sanzao Island reversed instantly.

While leading the pilots to deal with the fighter planes at the two Japanese airfields, Deputy Captain Liu asked for help from Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang immediately ordered the air force stationed at the Weizhou Island Airport to take off and join the battle.

Soon, 54 fighter jets and bombers from Weizhou Island Airport took off and headed for Sanzao Island Airport in Zhongshan County.

At this time, the Japanese defenders in Guangzhou Bay requested air force support from Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi.

They were attacked fiercely by the devil's troops and were in imminent danger.

Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi was troubled when he received the telegram requesting help from the Guangzhou Bay garrison.

Ever since the devil troops gained a foothold on Hainan Island, he has not had a single peaceful night of sleep, and has received telegrams for help almost every day.
