Chapter 892 Low-altitude Reconnaissance Information Summary
At the frontline military airport in the Yamaguchi area, the morning mist had not yet dissipated. Li Haman stood on the control tower, his eyes sharp and his voice resounding throughout the airport through the loudspeaker: "All bomber formations, prepare to take off! Target - Dafeng Mountains, carry white phosphorus bombs and deal a fatal blow to the enemy!"
As his order was given, 240 Stuka bombers began to taxi with a roar, gradually accelerated, and finally took off, forming into three huge groups, like giant black birds, cutting through the sky and heading towards the target.
At the same time, twelve reconnaissance formations had already taken a step ahead. Each formation consisted of six light and flexible reconnaissance aircraft, which flew close to the ground and at a very low altitude between the mountains of the Dafeng Mountains. These reconnaissance aircraft were as silent as ghosts, looking for any clues of the Fuso army.
Wang Kong, as the general leader of this reconnaissance operation and also an experienced pilot, flew his reconnaissance plane through the formation. In his cockpit, there were no real-time images and thermal imaging equipment used in modern warfare, only a detailed map, a radio communicator and a pair of sharp eyes. Wang Kong observed every detail on the ground with full concentration, and kept in close communication with the ground command post and other reconnaissance teams.
"Team Wang Kong, report your position and findings." The voice of the ground command post came through the headset, calm and powerful.
"Team Wang Kong received the message. We are crossing 'Wolf Fang Peak'. We have not found any trace of the enemy so far, but we have discovered several suspected hidden positions. Request further confirmation." Wang Kong recovered quickly while observing the surrounding terrain.
"Confirmed, continue to conduct in-depth reconnaissance and pay attention to safety." The ground command post replied.
As the reconnaissance progressed, Wang Kong continued to issue new instructions to the reconnaissance teams, adjusting the reconnaissance routes to ensure that no suspicious points were missed. He maintained smooth communication with the pilots of each team, transmitting key information via radio. The entire reconnaissance operation was like a sophisticated machine, operating efficiently under Wang Kong's command.
"Attention, there may be an ambush in the valley ahead. All teams should be vigilant and adopt an S-shaped flight route to avoid being ambushed." Wang Kong made a quick judgment based on the terrain and past experience, and immediately informed each team of the situation.
The reconnaissance planes responded one after another, flexibly adjusted their flight attitudes, shuttled between the valleys, and successfully avoided possible dangers. Wang Kong continued to fly his own reconnaissance plane, shuttled in front of the formation, and provided key intelligence support for the entire operation.
As time went by, more and more intelligence was gathered to Wang Kong. With his rich experience and keen insight, he screened and analyzed the intelligence and finally formed a detailed battlefield report. This report would directly determine the attack strategy and strike targets of the bomber formation.
Wang Kong held the microphone of the radio tightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. The reconnaissance plane shuttled under the clouds, maintaining a delicate balance with the ups and downs of the ground. The voices of various reconnaissance teams kept coming from the headset, and every piece of information was crucial.
"Team Wang Kong, this is Team 03. We have discovered an area approximately five kilometers ahead where a large area of enemy forces are suspected to be hiding. There are obvious signs of fire on the ground, which suggests that someone has been active there recently. We are confirming this further, please give us your instructions." The anxious voice of the Team 03 scout came over the radio.
"Team 03, received. Please determine the detailed coordinates immediately and continue to monitor the area. Report any signs of trouble in a timely manner." Wang Kong responded quickly and adjusted his flight trajectory, preparing to approach the area to obtain more intuitive intelligence.
A few minutes later, the coordinate information of Team 03 came. Wang Kong quickly marked it on the map and attached a brief text description.
Afterwards, he sent this key intelligence to the headquarters through an encrypted channel: "Command, this is Wang Kong's team. We have confirmed that there is a suspected enemy hiding area five kilometers south of Yuncong Mountain. The coordinates are XX.XX, YY.YY. Please instruct us on follow-up actions."
Then, another message came, this time from Team 07: "Team Wang Kong, we accidentally discovered a river near Yuncong Mountain. When searching along the river, we found a large number of abandoned tents on the east side of the river, a total of 24 tents. There were military supplies left in the tents. It is very likely that this is one of the gathering places used by the enemy recently. We are conducting a more detailed search of the surrounding area."
"Team 07, great job! Please continue to investigate further, paying special attention to whether there are sentries or secret guards around the tents. Also, record the detailed coordinates and take photos, and send them back immediately."
After receiving the order, Team 07 acted quickly and soon sent back detailed coordinate information and several blurry photos.
Wang Kong carefully checked the photos, and after confirming that they were correct, he sent another report to the headquarters: "Command, Team 07 has discovered an important gathering place for the enemy. The coordinates have been confirmed and photos are attached. Please evaluate and formulate a strike plan as soon as possible. Team Wang Kong will continue to carry out reconnaissance missions and keep communications open."
In the deep valley on the south side of Yuncong Mountain, there is a huge natural cave hidden. The entrance of the cave is cleverly covered by dense vegetation. It is extremely difficult to discover its existence unless you look for it deliberately.
The interior of the cave was spacious and dim, with a few campfires emitting faint lights, illuminating the tense and serious faces.
Fuso Colonel, Ichiro Yamamoto, stood on a protruding rock, brows furrowed, staring at the faint light that occasionally came through the cave ceiling, which was the light and shadow left by the roar of airplane engines.
"Listening to the sound of the planes, they are getting more frequent and closer," he said in a deep voice, "We must be alert. The enemy may have seen through our guerrilla tactics and is stepping up its investigation of our position."
At the side, a young major, Tanaka Shunsuke, had a disdainful smile on his face. He turned slightly and retorted, "Colonel, you are too cautious. The Dafeng Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and the terrain is complex and changeable. Our troops are so scattered, like sand thrown into the sea. How can the enemy easily find us? Do they really dare to raze the entire Dafeng Mountains to the ground?"
Yamamoto Ichiro turned around, staring at Tanaka Shunsuke with a sharp gaze: "Shunsuke, I have always admired your courage, but on the battlefield, there is no room for negligence. The enemy must have a plan since they have made such a move. We cannot ignore the safety of the entire unit because of a momentary fluke. Immediately notify all teams to reduce unnecessary activities, strengthen concealment, and increase patrols to ensure that any disturbance is under our control."
Seeing this, although Tanaka Shunsuke was unwilling, he also understood the colonel's intention, so he bowed and agreed: "Yes, Your Excellency. I will convey your order immediately."
