The coup d'etat was to have broken loose the next morning. Between the hours of 6 a.m, and noon, with grenades and revolvers, the plotters were to rush government offices. A fleet of Japanese aeroplanes was to bomb promiscuously, and there would be a reign of terror such as Canton has not experienced in years.
Most of the morning after the plotters had been foiled, the pi were on hand. In groups of five and. three and two they incessantly came and went and took long chances for big guns and small kept battering away at them as never before, Continually they circled over Fengehun Lut the awaited signal never came, Taipans came out of their offices to look on and were much puzzled at the strange antics of these fliers whose bombs never came down. Taking their lives in their hands, the Japanese pilots came down to little more than 1,000 feet, and gae of them failed to climb back if ito the clouds fast enough. This plane only managed to gain some distance before it zigzagged downwards, and two days later was found miles beyond Canton.
