At around seven o'clock in the evening, when night gradually fell, Yamamoto's flagship Kaga aircraft carrier, surrounded by more than a hundred ships, appeared behind the vanguard fleet. On the screen of the Ohanakokura radar station, Du Xin watched
The dense black dots and the small group of black dots representing the vanguard fleet finally gathered together. He breathed out a sigh of relief and said to Liu Hui, another observer on duty: "Okay, we are finally here. From now on,
Make a record every quarter of an hour, and wake me up immediately if there is a change in the Japanese fleet, OK."
Liu Hui: "Got it." Then he picked up a pen and wrote down this new discovery in his observation log.
Du Xin took a deep breath again, picked up the phone and asked for a direct line to the military headquarters. The person who answered the phone was Yang Minghao, leader of the communications staff group of the Fifth Military Staff Department. Yang Minghao learned that the main force of the Japanese fleet had appeared and immediately transferred the call.
At Shanrenxiong, Shanrenxiong, Huang Ye and others were lying on the huge Hainan Island sand table, looking for possible loopholes in the defense line. This was the first time that the Fifth Army had independently defended an area, and it was also the first time that Shanrenxiong had taken on the responsibility.
In the true sense of the word, the military chief, therefore the Fifth Army attaches great importance to this defensive battle from top to bottom.
When Dan Renxiong answered the phone, everyone heard a few words and roughly understood what was going on. Everyone looked at him intently. Dan Renxiong put down the phone, looked at everyone and said: "The main force of the Japanese ships has merged with the advance fleet.
, If nothing else happens, the focus of the first stage of the Japanese attack should be in the Wanning area, Zhang Dali."
"arrive."
"You guys go back to the front line and keep the communication open, Xiao Huang."
Zhang Dali responded and left the temporary headquarters. Huang Ye took two steps forward and asked, "Military seat, what is my mission?"
"You are responsible for radio detection. Although our anti-espionage work is quite good, but just in case, from now on, we will closely monitor all telecommunications near Hainan Island and never let go of a suspicious target."
"Okay, I'm in charge of radio detection." Huang Ye said, taking his guards and several staff officers and leaving.
Shan Renxiong looked at Chang Geng and Guo Yucheng, and said: "Let's divide the work between the three of us. I will follow the main force of the Japanese ships. Lao Chang, you will be responsible for setting up ambush in the southwest. If the Japanese fail to attack the southeast,
, we must try to break through from the southwest, where the final land battle is very likely to take place. Xiao Guo, you are responsible for communicating with the local troops, you have always been responsible for this."
In addition to the two regular armies of the Fifth Army and the Navy Hainan Base on Hainan Island, there are also local armed forces similar to the Renqiu Self-Defense Force. Unlike Renqiu and other self-defense forces organized in townships and counties, Hainan’s self-defense forces
Taking ethnic settlements as units, they are actually the independent armed forces of each ethnic minority fortress. No matter what level the Renqiu Self-Defense Force is, the final command power belongs to the Xubing Army. The same is not true for the Coast Self-Defense Force. Although the Xuebing Army sponsors
They have weapons and instructors, but they do not have any command power. Hainan's Self-Defense Forces existed when Chen Ce took charge of Hainan, and their scale was only recently established. Shan Renxiong is not sure of the specific size of the Japanese army.
, so he was not sure whether he would eventually seek help from these ethnic armed forces. He did this just in case.
Huang Ye and Guo Yucheng were both in their early twenties. They came to prominence during the Battle of Nanjing. During this battle, they led tens of thousands of army laborers to disguise themselves as regular troops and successfully diverted the attention of the Japanese army, thus providing the basis for the military training camp to eventually leave Nanjing. They have made great contributions. One of them is the chief of staff of the Fifth Army and the other is the political director. They are like Chen Shichang and Chu Tiange, who are in high positions at a young age. They are also role models in Guangzhou. The target that the girls were chasing after, Huang Ye received the task and left without any hesitation. Guo Yucheng looked at the single hero, but he looked full of doubts.
"What, is there a problem?" Dan Renxiong asked,
"I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this task well. Military position, can you replace me with another person? Huang Ye and I will switch positions." Guo Yucheng pondered the words and then said,
Shan Renxiong frowned. Those who have been in the Wolf Fang are most particular about obedience to the orders of their superiors, because many times, the critical situation does not allow them to question the orders and conduct reviews. Although, since the establishment of the Xuebing Army, , has always created an atmosphere where officers and soldiers are equal, and subordinates can question the orders of their superiors. However, in Langya, the probability of this happening is too low. They are used to the subordinates shouting "Yes" to the orders they give. "Guo Yucheng's current behavior is unacceptable for Shanrenxiong. If the other party was not a senior general at the same level as himself, he should have cursed loudly at this moment. He tried not to curse. He He said without any doubt: "You have always been responsible for the Hainan Self-Defense Armed Forces. What time is it now? The little devil is only a few dozen kilometers away from Wanning. This matter is settled."
"Yes." Seeing that Dan Renxiong was really angry, Guo Yucheng knew better and didn't bother anymore.
Guo Yucheng left with his guards and some of his men. Looking at his back, Chang Geng, who was about to leave, stopped and said to Shan Renxiong: "Old Dan, I can't blame Xiao Guo for this. "
"Yeah." Dan Renxiong looked at him,
He didn't know what he wanted to say, but before he could say anything, Chang Geng laughed out loud. Then, feeling Shan Renxiong's strange gaze, he straightened his expression and said seriously: "That's what happened, that Miao village." Do you still remember the little pepper?"
Shan Renxiong nodded. The so-called Miao Village Little Pepper is Ou Baoshan, a Miao girl who made a sensation at the Ethnic Minority Games two months ago. At that sports meeting, Ou Baoshan won the archery, rope skipping, shuttlecock kicking and climbing by herself. The champion of four high bar events, because she is the only daughter of Baoshan, the leader of the Miao ethnic group, and because of her fierce and bold personality, she was nicknamed "Little Pepper".
"'Little Pepper' has taken a liking to our Director Guo."
"This is a good thing. Aren't we always thinking about how to achieve national harmony? This is already available."
"But Guo Yucheng doesn't want to do it. He has a girlfriend in Guangzhou. By the way, it's Xue Lin from the Xuebing Army Research and Development Institute."
"It's not his fault. Baoshan is now the chief of the Hainan Self-Defense Force. I'm trying to get close to him. What a great opportunity. I'll do Xiao Guo's job. 'Little Pepper' is very beautiful. A woman from my country is so infatuated with him, I wonder if this guy is stupid."
What Shan Renxiong said was highly bureaucratic. Chang Geng obviously disagreed with this view. He coughed twice and said, "We outsiders shouldn't get involved in matters like feelings."
"What outsiders? We are now comrades and brothers in the same trench. Besides, didn't the commander-in-chief say that we are all organized people now? When doing something, we should not just do it from a personal perspective, but also consider the entire situation. The interests of the organization have been decided like this, and I will be the one to decide on this famous person."
Chang Geng smiled bitterly and walked out of the temporary headquarters. He slapped himself hard and spat: "It's over. I originally wanted to help Xiao Guo, but now I'm not helping him."
