Chapter 354 The attack begins(1/2)
Because the Fernando de Noronha Islands are far away from the coastline, by the time the aircraft carrier fleet led by Fang Lang officially arrived off the islands, it was already early the next morning.
As the first ray of sunlight rises from the sea in the morning, the Fernando de Noronha Islands, which had been quiet for a day, regained its vitality.
In recent days, the Japanese on the island have been very happy.
As the prisoners on the island were cleared one by one, the entire island was completely in the hands of the Japanese.
Japanese young man Ryota Matsuura, who was awakened by morning pee, stretched himself,
Staggeringly, he was carrying a Mauser 98 rifle that was about as long as his height.
When he came to the cliff by the sea, he skillfully untied his trousers, revealing a piece of crotch cloth that was already yellowing.
After a while of groping, he released the overnight inventory directly to the sea.
As the inventory was released, the whole person let out a comfortable groan.
The orange-red sunlight on the sea level made Matsuura Ryota, who had half-squinted his eyes, simply close his eyes.
But suddenly, Ryota Matsuura closed his eyes suddenly, wondering if he had just had a hallucination.
He rubbed his eyes with his hands and carefully made a small slit.
But I saw there seemed to be several huge black shadows in the sunlight on the sea.
Because of the lighting problem, the view is not realistic.
Thinking that he didn't wake up from sleep, Matsuura Ryota rubbed his face vigorously with both hands.
He seemed to realize something and hurriedly raised his head again to look in the direction of the rising sun.
I saw several huge black shadows on the sea, which were slowly getting bigger.
Although he has never participated in the war, he knows very well what it is.
Regardless of whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, the other party's goal is obviously our side.
Matsuura Ryota, who understood all this, didn't bother to let go. With one hand, he picked up his pants that were wet due to panic, and with the other hand, he pressed the rifle that was as long as his height, and hurriedly ran towards the camp.
He yelled in panic
"Warships, warships, a large number of warships appeared on the sea.
Mr. Mizuno, Mr. Kobayashi, there are warships on the sea."
Everyone in the camp who had just woken up looked at his embarrassed figure from a distance and wanted to step forward and make fun of him.
But after hearing what he shouted, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
The entire camp was like a hot oil pan, poured a spoonful of cold water into it, and boiled instantly.
The people who had been calmly cleaning themselves up just now got into a mess, and some of them boldly ran to the seaside, wanting to confirm the news about Matsuura Ryota.
More people ran to their shacks like headless flies, wanting to tell everyone they could meet the news.
Mizuno Xinyi, who had just gotten up, also heard the whirring and chaotic movements outside.
Feeling very angry, I opened the door and shouted
"Baga! What's the ghost's name so early in the morning?"
Soon he saw Matsuura Ryota, who was running towards him in a panic, with a frightened expression on his face.
And the camp became chaotic because of his shouts.
He was so angry that he wanted to yell.
But before he could speak, he heard clearly what the other party was shouting, and his face changed instantly.
I immediately understood the reason why the camp was in chaos.
However, he still forced himself to calm down
"What's the ghost's name? Tell me slowly if you have anything to do."
When Matsuura Ryota saw Mizuno Nobui standing at the door, he rushed directly in front of Mizuno Nobui without stopping and pointed with his hand in the direction of the rising sun in the east.
Panting heavily
"Mr. Mizuno, warships, there are many warships on the sea."
At this time, Kobayashi Kusaku, who lived in the small shack next door, had also arrived at Mizuno Nobui's door.
After hearing Ryota Matsuura's words, his expression changed.
He quickly asked
"Which country's warship is coming towards us?"
Matsuura Ryota was completely frightened. He didn't know this. He just found out about the warship and rushed back to report it as soon as possible.
Now when I hear Kobayashi Jiuzaku's question, I can only shake my head in confusion
"Uh! I don't know!"
Mizuno Xinyi also asked quickly
"Have they landed?"
"Not yet, we are still a little far away."
After hearing Matsuura Ryota's words, Mizuno Nobui said dissatisfied
"Then why are you yelling? Maybe you are just passing by?"
But Kobayashi Kusaku on the side looked ugly. He was not as optimistic as Mizuno Nobui.
This is Brazilian territorial waters, how could there be warships from other countries passing by!
As if to confirm Kobayashi Kusaku's guess, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky.
Two reconnaissance planes were flying straight in the direction of their camp.
There were a few brave Japanese in the camp who raised their weapons and opened fire on the planes in the sky.
But the speed of airplanes is very fast. It is basically more difficult to concentrate the airplanes in the sky with a rifle than to win the lottery.
At this moment, the pilot of the reconnaissance plane flying in the sky is none other than Sam Dudley, a Brazilian naval aviation pilot who used an airplane to reconnoiter the Fernando de Noronha Islands for the first time.
Seeing the Japanese on the island firing at his reconnaissance plane, he smiled disdainfully and called over the radio without caring.
"The hummingbird calls the eagle's nest.
Confirm the location of the enemy camp, bearing 023.
Above the camp, the Japanese flag is clearly visible.
The enemy has weapons and is firing at our aircraft.
Apply for counterattack, completed!"
A reply came from the communicator
"Eagle's Nest Received, Hummingbird Strikes Back and Demands Dismissal.
Your mission is to ensure the safety of the reporters on the wingman and protect them from recording all the conditions on the island.
Done!"
Sam Dudley let out a sigh of dissatisfaction and helplessness, and glanced at the other reconnaissance plane behind him.
He knew there was a reporter carrying a camera up there.
At this moment, the camera above him should be filming the Japanese camp on the island.
Again, connect to the communicator
"Hummingbird, received.
The enemy is gathering in the enemy camp, and the bombing can begin. It’s over.”
"Eagle Nest received!
The bombers are taking off, hummingbirds please monitor the battlefield.
Report the enemy's location at any time and guide the target for attack."
"Hummingbirds understand!
Hummingbird is raising the altitude,
Waiting for the bombers to arrive, over!"
Just when Sam Dudley contacted the aircraft carrier, Kobayashi Kusaku in the camp already knew that he was in danger.
The afternoon before yesterday, when a plane was flying around the island, he felt something strange.
But as a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, he had no experience in air defense operations.
Therefore, there is no good way to deal with planes in the sky. I just instinctively increase my vigilance.
I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. The two planes in the sky today are obviously different from the last two planes.
It didn't fly around, but kept circling around its own camp.
To be continued...
