Chapter 388 Preparing for a Full-Scale Army Advance
The flight officer said in a trembling voice that after Lord Jiro lost his temper at noon, he initially thought that the three pilots had neglected their duties and gone somewhere after bombing the South Station.
However, after locating the location, no trace could be found, which is very strange.
For some reason, he felt a vague unease, as if something bad was about to happen.
So when Jiro-sama said he would send ten fighter jets, he became suspicious.
After the fighter jet took off, we tracked it all the way. Everything was normal at first, and the communication with the pilot was normal. Nothing strange happened.
However, just when he was completely relieved and felt that there would be no problem with the mission, an unexpected event occurred.
When we were still several kilometers away from the bombing site, several screams came through the internal communications one after another.
The screams were terrifying, as if the pilots were being subjected to some kind of inhuman torture, which made him shudder.
However, when they came to their senses and checked the situation, there was no sound in the internal communication system, and even the ten small lights that were originally on the instrument had all disappeared.
Upon seeing this, he hurriedly reported it to Lord Jiro, wondering if the Chinese had mastered some kind of advanced technology.
If it can shield the fighter jets from tracking, then those thirteen pilots are likely doomed.
"Ha! Cutting-edge technology? Is this the answer you gave me? Would you believe me if I told you?"
Even the United States doesn't have such technology, so how could a mere China possibly have it!
If there were any, how could we have managed to get you all here? In the end, it's because you guys are too incompetent and neglect your duties!
This is one last chance for you to redeem yourselves. If you still mess things up, then there's no point in you staying!
Yamano Jiro's sinister voice rang out in the tent. He felt dizzy with anger today. He was still very unhappy about the battle a few days ago.
Originally, I sent out fighter jets today to make myself feel better, but I didn't expect that the people in the flight department are all useless and can't even do such a small thing well.
And now they're telling him that China possesses some kind of advanced technology? He really wanted to laugh at this guy. If China really had such advanced technology, they wouldn't be able to keep up with them.
So he didn't believe in any of that "black technology" stuff at all; he figured it was just a few pilots in the flight department neglecting their duties.
If he hadn't only been allocated 20 fighter jets, he would have loved to send them all out right now.
However, there are only 7 aircraft left at the base. If they are all sent out, it will be difficult to handle an emergency. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the soldier on his right and said:
"Go and send a message to Kino-kun, tell him to send a few more fighter jets over, and be quick!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the Japanese soldiers nodded hurriedly and quickly ran out of the tent.
As the Japanese soldiers left, silence fell again. All the Japanese officers present secretly glanced at Yamano Jiro.
Seeing him deep in thought, the officers exchanged glances, signaling to each other what to do next.
At noon, Lord Jiro had already lost his temper once. I originally thought that after sending out ten fighter planes in the afternoon to bomb the South Station and bring back good news, Lord Jiro would definitely be happy.
However, what they didn't expect was that their idea, which was quite good, would lead to the mysterious disappearance of the fighter jet, along with the crew.
They were at a loss for what to do about this bizarre situation.
Although they didn't believe that China had any advanced technology, their fighter jets had indeed disappeared.
But now that we see Lord Jiro asking Lord Kino for fighter planes, does this mean... we're preparing for war again? Thinking this, an officer mustered his courage and asked:
"Lord Jiro, you asked Lord Kino for fighter planes. Are you preparing to attack in the next couple of days?"
Yamano Jiro was pondering what was to come when he heard this sound. He then realized that he had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he had almost forgotten that these people were still here.
However, since someone had asked, he no longer hid it. In front of everyone, he nodded and said:
"That's right. Once the fighter jets arrive, we'll set off with the main force advancing. The fighter jets will bomb first, and if all goes well, they should arrive here tomorrow."
Go and prepare now, make sure the soldiers are properly strapped to their boots. We'll set off tomorrow and set a good example for the other legions!
We must make a good start and not disappoint the Imperial Army. Alright, let's leave it at that for now.
If anything goes wrong tomorrow, don't blame me for settling all the old and new scores with you! Go and prepare!"
Officers: "Yes, sir! We will not disappoint you, nor will we fail the expectations of the Imperial Army! We will take City A in one fell swoop!"
The crowd's voices were loud and clear, and their morale was extremely high, which made Yamano Jiro nod in satisfaction. All the anger he had felt that day seemed to have vanished in that instant.
He had been considering another surprise attack that afternoon.
However, after hearing the report from below about the fighter jets, the idea of a surprise attack was abandoned.
Regardless of how China managed to destroy his thirteen fighter jets, this action was a slap in the face to Yamano Jiro, and he could not swallow this insult.
Another advantage is that his base has advanced weaponry and a large enough number of soldiers, so a large army could advance quite a bit.
After all, according to the intelligence he had received, the 52nd Division of China, which was closest to their base, only had a few thousand men left, probably less than three thousand.
His army numbered a full 30,000, which was more than enough to defeat their 52nd Division. He was so angry that he wanted to attack the 52nd Division that very night.
But attacking like this is really nothing new. A few thousand against tens of thousands of people is simply incomparable. Even if he manages to take the city, it won't really quell his anger.
That's why it was decided to send some fighter jets over to bomb the area.
He loved watching skyscrapers collapse, smoke billowing, and heart-wrenching cries.
Upon seeing that scene, he felt his blood boiling; the sensation was simply exhilarating.
Since he's been so unhappy these past few days, then don't blame him for massacring City A!
