However, there is another problem that has not been solved, that is, the bomber pilot is not familiar with the situation in Jinan City and cannot find the location of the Japanese 12th Army Command in the air. Even if Gao Jiu marked it on the map of Jinan City, the pilot still found it difficult for the pilot to fly accurately over the target.

In order to be able to carry out precise bombing, Gao Jiu decided to take the bomber pilot to conduct on-site inspections.

That afternoon, Gao Jiu and the bomber pilot flew to Jinan City in a reconnaissance plane.

Jinan, the 12th Japanese Army Command.

That afternoon, Commander General Haneda held a meeting to discuss the situation in the direction of Tai'an.

It was hot in summer and the windows of the conference room were open. Suddenly, everyone heard the roar of the planes coming from the sky.

General Haneda knew that there were no Japanese planes in this area. The biggest possibility of the planes here was the Taohuashan Guerrilla Air Force, so he immediately ordered people to go out to check.

The chief of staff came to the window and stretched out his head to look into the sky. He soon saw two planes. He was experienced and quickly determined that this was the enemy's reconnaissance plane.

He turned his head and said, "Your Excellency Commander, is the enemy's reconnaissance plane."

General Haneda felt very bad, and he ordered: "Order the air defense forces to open fire! Kill him down for me."

In order to defend the 12th Army Command, air defense artillery was deployed on the headquarters building and on the roofs of several surrounding high-rise buildings. After receiving the order, they opened fire violently at the reconnaissance planes flying in the sky.

The anti-aircraft artillery used by the Japanese army is a 37mm rapid-fire cannon, which is high and flat, with a maximum range of 2,900 meters. It can hit 2,200 meters in air shooting, and can effectively strike targets flying at low altitudes, especially bombers that conduct dive bombing.

Gao Jiu came this time, not to carefully reconnaissance the target on the ground. He just asked the bomber pilot to be familiar with the specific location of the Japanese 12th Army Command. Therefore, the two reconnaissance aircraft kept flying at 3,500 meters, and the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fired in vain, which could not threaten the safety of the reconnaissance aircraft.

Gao Jiu flew over the 12th Army Command of the Japanese Army on a reconnaissance plane. He used a wireless telegram to instruct the bomber pilots, asking him to carefully identify the location of the 12th Army Command and the surrounding reference objects. When the bomber pilot reported that he was already familiar with the target, the two flew away from Jinan on the reconnaissance plane and returned to Taohua Mountain.

After receiving the report, General Haneda asked in confusion: "What are the reconnaissance planes sent to come here?"

The Chief of Staff was also puzzled. The reconnaissance aircraft would be greatly reduced when flying so high. He didn't understand what the reconnaissance aircraft was going to do.

After thinking carefully, he said, "Master Commander, is it possible that Gao Jiu will send a plane to bomb our headquarters?"

General Haneda said: "This is unlikely. Jinan's city is densely populated, and most of our headquarters are civilian buildings. If bombers drop bombs, it is difficult to ensure that the people in Jinan will not be hurt.

Especially around our headquarters, there are a large number of anti-aircraft artillery, and enemy planes cannot dive bomb at low altitudes and cannot guarantee the accuracy of bomb drops.

Gao Jiu always claimed that he cherished the people, so the possibility of bombing was extremely small."

Hearing this, the Chief of Staff breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "What you said makes sense. But if Gao Jiu was not trying to carry out the bombing, what goal would he achieve?"

General Haneda couldn't figure it out for a moment and said, "Miura Jun's incident angered Gao Jiu, and he will definitely come to take revenge. What we need to do now is to strengthen the public security in the city and prevent Gao Jiu and others from sneaking in and carrying out damage.

If you inform, all garrison units should be vigilant. The military police headquarters strengthens public security in the city and does not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Hayi, I'll go down and arrange it now." The Chief of Staff nodded.

The appearance of the reconnaissance plane made General Haneda feel uneasy, and he felt a little irritated all afternoon.

After dinner, he finally couldn't help sending a telegram to Hamada Yoshihiko, reporting to him about the revenge that Gao Jiu had carried out in Shandong during this period. He also mentioned the emergence of the reconnaissance plane in the telegram, hoping that Hamada Yoshihiko could provide guidance.

After reading General Haneda's telegram, Yoshihiro Hamada felt very upset. He knew Gao Jiu so well that Gao Jiu was plotted by Miura Jun, so it was inevitable that he would take revenge.

Hamada Yoshihiro believed that Gao Jiu had a great possibility of sending a telegram to him and making some requests, hoping that the North China Front Army would compensate him.

Hamada Yoshihiro had already discussed with the commander of the Kok Village, how to reply if Gao Jiu came to the telegram. The result of their discussion was that they could negotiate with Gao Jiu, but in order to avoid Gao Jiu's lion talking, they could not take the initiative to come to the door.

These days, Gao Jiu did not contact Hamada Yoshihiro directly, but kept asking for trouble for the Japanese army in Shandong.

Hamada Yoshihiro guessed that this was Gao Jiu who wanted to force the Japanese army to negotiate with him.

Hamada Yoshiji decided to spend time with Gao Jiu to waste Gao Jiu's patience, so that he could automatically reduce his expectations for the negotiation goal.

Yoshihisa Hamada asked General Haneda to protect key targets, and General Haneda did the same. Over the past period of time, the important Japanese targets have indeed not been attacked.

The emergence of the reconnaissance plane shows that Gao Jiu is still not giving up and is still looking for a way to attack the 12th Army Command.

Hamada Yoshiji also considered that Gao Jiu might bomb the 12th Army Command. After careful analysis, the conclusion was the same as General Haneda. In order to avoid the injuries of the people in Jinan, Gao Jiu would not bomb the 12th Army Command.

Hamada Yoshiji was a cautious person. He thought about it over and over again, thinking that Gao Jiu would definitely attack the 12th Army Command. Although he didn't know what method Gao Jiu would use, he still reminded General Haneda to be more careful. It is best not to live in the headquarters compound in the recent period.

After receiving the reminder from Hamada Yoshihiro, General Haneda thought about Gao Jiu's elusive method and decided to obey Hamada Yoshihiro's opinion first. He left the headquarters compound that night and quietly moved into the Taishan Hotel in the west of the city.

The next morning, Gao Jiu flew to Jinan City in a bomber.

Jinan City.

That morning, the Chief of Staff of the 12th Army had something to discuss with General Haneda. He came to the commander's office. The receptionist told him that the commander had already gone to the Taishan Hotel and told him that the commander would live there in the near future. If you have any questions, you can contact him by phone.

The Chief of Staff was a little puzzled. He had not heard of any major incident in the 12th Army and did not understand why General Haneda went there.

He thought about it carefully, and couldn't help feeling dissatisfied. He guessed that General Yu Tian was worried that Gao Jiuhui would come to take revenge, so he hid himself.

The Chief of Staff was not stupid either. He did not call General Haneda and directly ordered someone to arrange a vehicle. He wanted to go to Taishan Hotel in person to discuss with General Haneda.

He had already made plans. After meeting General Haneda, he moved to Taishan Hotel by the excuse of being convenient for office work.

Before leaving, he issued an order to strictly block the news that the commander was at the Taishan Hotel, which is actually equivalent to blocking the news that he was also at the Taishan Hotel.

Shortly after the Chief of Staff left the 12th Army Command compound in a car, the roar of planes came from the sky.

The Japanese air defense forces originally thought it was an enemy plane to reconnaissance again, but they didn't take it seriously at the beginning. However, they soon discovered that the plane turned out to be a bomber. They immediately became nervous and quickly set up artillery and prepared to shoot at the air.

The officers and soldiers of the air defense forces stared at the bomber in the sky, preparing to concentrate their firepower to shoot it down when he dived.

However, the enemy's bombers did not lower their altitude. They flew from high altitude towards the 12th Army Command compound outside the range of artillery fire of the Japanese air defense forces.

Seeing that the enemy's bomber did not lower the altitude, the Japanese officers and soldiers did not care too much, because at such an altitude, the bomber could not accurately drop bombs. If they could accurately hit the 12th Army headquarters, the enemy's bomber would definitely dive.

The bomber was getting closer and closer and still kept flying high. Just as the bomber approached the 12th Army Command building, a small black dot fell from the sky. The small black dot became larger and larger, and flew straight to the office building of the 12th Army Command.

On the top of the 12th Army Command building, two 37mm rapid-fire cannons were set up. The officers and soldiers who operated the cannons had seen clearly that what was falling from the plane was a huge aviation bomb.

They were so scared that their faces were pale, and hurriedly fled from the cannon and ran to the skylight not far away, hoping to hide before the bomb fell.

However, how could the Japanese have run faster and faster with their two short legs? Before they could get into the skylight, the bomb had already landed on the roof of the office building.

The 240mm heavy mortar shell is very powerful, and it is known as an expert in building demolition, but the fierce explosives inside are only a dozen kilograms. The 623kg giant aviation bomb is dozens of times more powerful than the 240mm heavy mortar shell. The violent explosion of the bomb instantly razed the entire office building to the ground. All the buildings near the headquarters office building were also affected, and almost all the glass on the buildings within a range of hundreds of meters was shattered.

Gao Jiu's purpose was to warn the Japanese army and force them to negotiate with him, so he only threw a giant aviation bomb. They circled over the target and observed the effects of the bombing. They saw that the courtyard of the 12th Army Command of the Japanese Army was in a mess. They flew away from Jinan City with great satisfaction and returned to Taohua Mountain.

The violent explosions from Jinan City alarmed General Haneda and the Chief of Staff and others in the Taishan Hotel. They didn't know what happened, but based on the direction of the explosion, it can be roughly determined that the 12th Army Command was attacked. Since the office building of the 12th Army Command was completely blown up, all communications were interrupted, and no one reported the situation to them for a while.

So they sent people back to the 12th Army Command to check the situation.

More than forty minutes later, General Haneda's adjutant came back. Seeing his face full of horror, General Haneda asked, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

The adjutant wiped the cold sweat from his head and said in a terrible sense: "Commander, the enemy's bomber just now used the method of dropping bombs from high altitude to throw a bombshell at the headquarters compound! It happened to land on the roof of the office building, razing the entire office building to the ground, and all the office workers in the building were killed. Other houses in the headquarters compound were also damaged, with more than 20 casualties."

General Haneda and Chief of Staff were shocked by the words of the adjutant.

The adjutant said that more than 20 casualties refer to those who were active outdoors in the office building. In the office building is the headquarters, and there are at least 200 officers and service personnel at all levels. All of these people should have been killed. The losses of the headquarters are really tragic.

General Haneda looked pale and sat on the sofa.

The Chief of Staff took a long time to recover and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that the enemy was so powerful! It was incredible to use the method of dropping bombs at high altitudes to accurately hit the office building."

General Haneda smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "We have underestimated Gao Jiu's ability. He must have done this matter himself. This person is really a monster, and we are no match for him at all."

The Chief of Staff thought about it and said, "Gao Jiu threw a bomb, and it seems that he still gave us a face. For the sake of the current plan, I am afraid that the only way to take the initiative to find Gao Jiu to negotiate."

General Haneda nodded and said, "You are right. I will send a telegram to the Chief of Staff of the Front Army and request tactical guidance."

Beiping, North China Front Command.

Hamada Yoshiji wanted to compete with Gao Jiu patiently, hoping that Gao Jiu would leave Shandong.

What he was most worried about was the telegram from the 12th Army. As long as it was sent by him, it would definitely be bad news.

Sure enough, General Haneda's telegram brought about a complete bad news. Hamada Yoshiji was very depressed and came to the commander of the Minato Village with the telegram.

After reading the telegram, Gangcun was shocked and said with emotion: "Gao Jiu's ability is really unfathomable. In the densely populated Jinan city, it is really terrifying that he can accurately hit the target with an aviation bomb at a high altitude."

Hamada Yoshiji shook his head slightly and sighed, not knowing what to say.

The commander of Komura was silent for a while and asked, "Hamada, how should we solve this time?"
Chapter completed!
