Just like a group of flies that were being swatted by a fly swatter, the Japanese bombers began to flee in all directions. Except for the three that were shot down at the beginning, all 11 bombers actually escaped.
Do the Japanese care about their lives? It’s a joke. As long as you act strong enough, you can subdue the Japanese and become the most loyal dogs. No matter how good the Blue Volcanoes are in their tactics, given the prestige of the military and air force in the past, the current Japanese army The aviation force has learned this lesson a long time ago. Moreover, Tsukahara 243 repeatedly warned: Your task is only to lure the enemy. In this case, with the bomber's only machine gun, its clumsy body and the best white-tailed dolphin in the world at the moment, Dueling, the Japanese who dare to do this have not yet been born.
On the east mountain ridge, the single hero shook his head and left the telescope. What a great opportunity. What a pity. He is a novice after all. If Tie Linfei or Xue Changkong led the team, the result of the battle would never be only three.
If the Japanese aircraft escapes far away, there is no value in pursuit, because no one knows when the fighter jets released by the Japanese aircraft carrier will arrive on the battlefield. The distance is too close, no more than 50 kilometers away, for an aircraft that can easily reach hundreds of kilometers per hour. , it’s only a matter of a few minutes, let’s see if it’s possible to create another miracle and sink a few more warships.
The Japanese fighter jets flew to the northeast, and the fighter jets began to reorganize, and then escorted the bomber group quickly back to the aircraft carrier. On the Kaga, under Tsukahara's dispatching command, the fighter jets in the hangar were attacked one after another. Drag it out, immediately start refueling, perform basic checks, and then roar into the blue sky one by one.
"Quick, quick, quick," Tsukahara shouted, wishing he could personally fly one into the sky to meet the enemy.
The bombardment that lasted for nearly twenty minutes made Arima Masabumi very excited. Several towns along the coast and nearby towns had completely turned into a sea of flames. Through the telescope, he saw Chinese people running and struggling in the sea of flames and smoke. There was a smile on his face. He smiled cruelly, "Xinxi, that's it. Although China has a large population, it can withstand several such bombardments." He said to Rear Admiral Hidezaburo Ishikawa, the captain of the Yamashiro standing next to him,
Ishikawa Hidesaburo pursed his lips and said nothing. Although the battle situation was developing in a direction favorable to the Japanese army, seeing the shoreline fort suddenly become silent, Ishikawa suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
Ishikawa's intuition was always accurate, and his uneasiness was soon confirmed. The China Aviation Force, which had been reluctant to show up but shot down two of its own fighter planes, finally appeared. When it appeared, it was three squadrons in size.
He immediately suggested to Arima: "Your Excellency, retreat. There are so many Chinese fighter planes that the aviation forces in front may be unable to withstand them. If they cannot hold on for long or even flee, we are very likely to become the target of a second strike by the Chinese." .”
Arima didn't take it seriously at first. Arima knew Yamabekawa Sankune. He always believed that the latter was one of the best pilots in the Japanese naval aviation. He felt that with him leading the team at the front, although it was impossible to defeat the China Air Force, he persisted. Ten minutes is absolutely no problem, and within this time, the fighter planes on the Kaga and other aircraft carriers should have arrived on the battlefield to help, so he said: "If the Chinese dare to attack us, that is exactly what Japan wants. The battleships of the Imperial Navy are not paper. As long as we can hold on for a while and wait for the main force of our aviation force to arrive, it will be the death of the China aviation force. I think the China commander will not be so stupid. The Chinese people If you can't fight, you still have a good way of escaping." After saying that, he glanced in the direction of the main aircraft carrier fleet in the distance, and a thought flashed through his mind. If he had been in charge of command at that time, Ouyang Yun, that Chinese man, would never have been able to do so. If he succeeded in "sinking", "It's a pity that we will never have such an opportunity again. Only by defeating the enemy in adversity can we best demonstrate the outstanding command quality of a commander." He thought like this, and immediately ordered the battleships of the squadron. Adjust the formation from a long snake formation to a circular formation. At the same time, several main battleships retreat slightly, and warships such as light frigates advance forward. Fortunately, if there are torpedo attack aircraft, they can help the main battleships. block torpedoes,
Arima Masabumi is arrogant, and he will soon see what his arrogance has brought to the squadron.
When Ouyang Yun appeared at the Haikou Naval Base in Hainan, Chen Ce and others were doing war games in the squadron headquarters based on the intelligence coming from Wuzhishan and Dahuajiao radar stations on a regular basis.
"This defensive battle shouldn't have anything to do with us, but it is a rare opportunity for us to learn. Japan's modern navy has been taking shape for some time, and it must be very experienced in island offensive and defensive battles. Today, we can only hide in the rear base, but In the future, we will one day fight our way out of Hainan. Everyone, cherish this opportunity." At the beginning of the war game, Chen Ce lectured his young men like this,
This is Ouyang Yun's second time in Hainan. However, because the student army has the most powerful public opinion propaganda tool in the world, the base students are no strangers to their young top officer.
While he was still on the other side of the strait, the commander of the ferry garrison asked him whether he should notify the other side, but Ouyang Yun vetoed it. "There is no need. I am here just to take a look. I have no other intention." This is how he directed the ferry. The official said, and then as the first batch of people crossing the sea, they boarded the "Dongshan" ferry that can carry about 1,000 people at a time.
The "Dongshan Series" ferries are medium-sized ferries designed and built by the Xuebing Army themselves. They can ferry up to 1,000 people plus ten military trucks or ten Jiguang-type conventional tanks at a time. Four "Dongshan Series" ferries have been built so far. There are three ships on duty at ordinary times. There are two brigades with nearly 7,000 people accompanying Ouyang Yun to Hainan. Counting some tactical vehicles, four batches can complete the crossing.
As soon as I set foot on the land of Haikou, the smell of war hit my face. In the waters within five kilometers of Haikou Ferry, all fishing boats and other civilian vessels that could normally pass through were missing. One after another, high-speed patrol boats went to and from the base military dock near the ferry. , a little further away, if you look closely, you will see a periscope protruding out of the water. It should be a submarine of the Haikou Naval Squadron performing strategic duty.
Bian Jingdao opened the way in front, followed closely by about a platoon of the Detachment of Women. They were dressed in military uniforms and looked particularly heroic. As soon as the Detachment of Detachment appeared, the commander of the ferry, Shangguan Yunhai, immediately greeted him. As the Detachment of Detachment became Ouyang Yun's The guards are armed. Anyone who knows a little bit about the personnel structure of the Xubing Army knows that as long as they show up, the commander-in-chief will most likely also arrive.
Not far after Shangguan Yunhai walked out of the duty room, cheers came from the ferry checkpoint: "Commander-in-Chief." "The Commander-in-Chief is here." He couldn't help but feel excited, subconsciously stopped, packed up his military uniform, and then strode away Going up, behind him, all the trainees in the platoon stood upright. In an instant, their energy and energy were completely different from before.
