Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 816: Foreigners Want to Seize Command of the Flying Squadron

The two talked in the reception room for more than an hour. When they came out, Zhang Yunhe invited General Chen to have lunch, but General Chen declined.

After sending the person away, Tian Tao couldn't help but ask, "Commander, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "I now have over 10,000 guns, planes, tanks, and powerful firepower. I also own arms companies, steel companies, metal smelting companies, and shipping companies. Naturally, those people in Jiangzhou want to win me over. Do you think they came to me for no reason to make friends?"

"By the way, I've already made an agreement with General Chen. We'll send two people to his 8th Task Force to share intelligence on deciphering the Japanese radio. But we must select loyal people to prevent them from being turned against us after they're sent there!"

Tian Tao immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yunhe was awakened by a rapid and shrill phone ring. He squinted his eyes and sat up to answer the phone: "Hello?"

Tian Tao's urgent voice came from the phone: "Commander, the Far East Armed Forces Intelligence Agency just intercepted a Japanese communication telegram. After decoding, we learned that the Japanese Type 89 dive bomber group has taken off from Tianhe. The exact number is unknown. The British Army Command believes that the target is likely to be us!"

Zhang Yunhe woke up instantly after hearing this. He took out his watch and glanced at it. It was exactly 6 o'clock in the morning. He immediately said, "Tell the radar monitoring station this news. If any unidentified cluster is detected in the airspace, sound the air defense alarm immediately. Notify the air defense forces to prepare for battle. Notify the flight squadron to prepare for takeoff to meet the enemy aircraft. I will rush to the headquarters immediately!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Zhang Yunhe quickly put on his clothes and woke up his wife and children. "Huilan, get up quickly! The Japanese fighter planes are about to fly over to bomb us. Take the children to the underground air-raid shelter immediately!"

"Ah? The Japanese planes are coming. Hurry up, son, get up quickly." Liu Huilan panicked and hurriedly woke up her son to dress him.

It was 6:35 when Zhang Yunhe arrived at the headquarters under the protection of the guards. He didn't even have time for breakfast, but the whole island was still quiet at this time. There was no tense atmosphere as if the Japanese planes were about to fly over and bomb.

"Commander, at 6:12, the people we sent to the 8th Working Group reported that they had intercepted 12 Japanese fighter planes taking off from Sanzao Island!" Tian Tao immediately reported when he saw Zhang Yunhe walk into the command center.

Zhang Yunhe looked at the time and asked, "First, how long will it take for the Japanese bombers that took off from Tianhe to arrive here?"

田涛估算了一下说道：“大约需要80分钟左右，情报署截获鬼子电文得知轰炸机群起飞的时间是5点50分，轰炸机群抵达这里的时间应该是7点30分左右！”

Zhang Yunhe nodded and asked, "Are all combat units ready for battle?"

"Yes, all combat units have received news that enemy aircraft are about to attack and the Japs are preparing to attack. The combat order has been issued. If the Japs dare to attack, they will be dealt a head-on blow!"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "Sound the air raid sirens around 7 o'clock to give the people enough time to evacuate to the nearest air defense facilities to avoid air raids!"

"Yes, sir!" A combat staff officer next to him stood at attention and saluted in response.

Zhang Yunhe walked to the battle map again, and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and asked, "What's the situation at the Governor's Office and the British Headquarters?"

Tian Tao said, "The news I received is that the British army has entered combat mode. Major Hill and Lieutenant Gray of the British Air Force proposed to Commander Modpi to launch the only two Antelope torpedo bombers and our 36 fighter planes to attack the enemy's Yuezhou Airport. However, Commander Modpi refused. He believed that was tantamount to suicide!"

"In addition, in addition to our 36 fighter jets, there are also 5 old British fighter jets and 8 civilian aircraft at the airport. Modpi has already ordered the evacuation of all outsiders!"

At this moment, the telephone at the headquarters rang urgently: "Ding-ling-ling..."

A combat staff officer walked over and answered the phone: "Merchant Corps Armed Command, OK, wait a moment."

"Commander, this is a call from Commander Modpi of the British Army!"

Zhang Yunhe walked over and answered the phone: "I am Zhang Yunhe"

"Commander Zhang, I need your command of the 36 fighter planes, pilots, and ground crew at Qide Airport. I believe you have also received our notification. The Japanese bomber groups have flown from Yuezhou and Sanzao Island respectively. The attack target should be us. We must launch these fighters to meet them!"

Zhang Yunhe sneered inwardly after hearing this and said, "Captain Modpey, your British army only has two Oryx bombers that can take off. The others are useless and can't handle the enemy's fleet. You should let me command those two planes!"

"My pilots and ground crew are all Chinese. They don't understand your orders, do you understand? And I have military air-to-air radar here, which can detect enemy aircraft from dozens of kilometers away. You only have civilian radar over there, and the search area is too small!"

"This is impossible. I am the highest armed commander on the island. You must obey my orders and hand over the command of your flying brigade to me!" Modpi roared on the phone.

Zhang Yunhe said calmly, "You are only the commander of the British army, not my superior. You have no authority over me. I only obey the orders of the Governor's Office. Even if the Governor's Office gave the order, I would never give you command of the flight squadron. You clearly deployed many fighter planes on the island, but you transferred them all away last year. You want my people to be cannon fodder for you? That is absolutely impossible!"

"Asshole, even at this time, you are still thinking about preserving your strength. We are allies, not enemies, and we shouldn't fight among ourselves!" Modpi shouted angrily.

Zhang Yunhe said, "Commander Modpi, you are wrong. I have never thought about conserving my strength. As long as the enemy aircraft group flies over, I will immediately order the flight group to take off and intercept the enemy aircraft!"

At 7 o'clock sharp, the air raid sirens sounded. When the residents of the entire island heard the sirens, their faces changed drastically. They packed up their belongings and ran to the nearest air raid facilities with their families.

The streets and alleys were in chaos, with adults shouting, beating and scolding, and children crying, and there was chaos everywhere.

"Ding-ling-ling..." The phone at the Merchant Corps Armed Command rang again urgently.

作战参谋接起后听了一下，挂断电话大叫：“雷达站报告鬼子机群来了，轰炸机群27架89式俯冲轰炸机位于北方40公里；12架战斗机在东南方向35公里！”

Zhang Yunhe immediately shouted an order: "Notify all frontline troops to evade bombing and strafing, and prepare to respond to the attack of the Japanese ground forces; notify the air defense forces to prepare for air defense, and notify the flight squadron to take off and meet the Japanese aircraft group!"
