Yamamoto Isoroku thought that his unit's reconnaissance operations were unnoticed, but unexpectedly, everything was under the control of a single hero.
Three reconnaissance planes inserted into Hainan Island from Hainan, which they thought was remote. Let alone the two that were flying to the southwest of Qiong, let’s just talk about the one that was flying to the northeast of Qiong. The Japanese who flew the reconnaissance plane was named Kubota Keiji. After what happened that day, Kubota changed the unscrupulous flying method of his predecessors in Chinese airspace, and instead chose a very cautious way of advancement. He controlled the height of the fighter plane and maximized his field of vision at all times, and what they did The reason is to prevent the white-tip dolphins that may suddenly appear,
Kubota's caution soon paid off, "What is that?" Suddenly he saw a row of green grass moving forward quickly on the ground in front of him, and he said to himself in surprise,
What he discovered was the convoy led by Ouyang Yun.
Because all the cars were camouflaged and painted in camouflage colors, Kubota couldn't tell what was going on when he looked at them from a distance. Kubota carefully observed the surrounding airspace again and confirmed that there were no Chinese fighter planes. Then he lowered his altitude and flew towards the moving queue.
He came a little closer and was discovered immediately. The first soldier who was discovered immediately informed Bian Jingdao that it was related to the commander-in-chief's safety. Bian Jingdao did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered the convoy to stop, then got out of the car and took out his binoculars to look over. Soon, he reported his findings to Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-Chief, a Japanese reconnaissance plane was spotted in the sky above the left front. What should we do?"
Ouyang Yun was shocked when he heard that not long ago, the Qiongzhou Flying Brigade led by Lan Huoshan just flew over their heads. Could this Japanese reconnaissance plane be following them? No, the distance is too far. This plane The enemy plane was afraid that it had other missions. It was impossible to choose this place as the landing site. This place is so close to Guangdong. Yamamoto Isoroku shouldn't be so stupid. After thinking about it seriously, he replied: "No matter what." It, moves on.”
"yes."
In the sky, when Kubota discovered that this was a huge convoy, he was not surprised at all by Ouyang Yun, "This should be the reinforcements of the Chinese people. They are all moving forward in a mobile way. Is the Xuebing Army so rich? Well, I have to go back quickly and report this information to the superiors." He thought like this, without daring to stop any longer, and immediately turned the plane around and flew towards the direction it came from.
On the ground, after the convoy restarted, Bian Jingdao commanded several anti-aircraft tanks to prepare for battle. Seeing the enemy planes suddenly leaving, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful and said: "Granny, this devil is too cowardly. He still wants to fight." Invite him down for a cup of tea."
More than half an hour later, Yamamoto Isoroku learned of the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Xuebing Army. He laughed at that time. The destination of this reinforcement army must be Wanning. It seems that the Chinese people have concluded that they are going to Wanning. After landing, Wanning's defense force has been strengthened, and accordingly, the defenses in other places will definitely be weakened. This is conducive to his implementation of the battle plan of "building a plank road in the open and crossing Chencang secretly". Then he remembered something and went to fly in person. On the deck, he asked Kubota about the number of the unit. He learned that the latter just glanced at it from a distance and then returned immediately. He was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him, cursing: "Ba Ge, you are holding that person's military flag." Haven't you seen it? This is how you usually perform reconnaissance missions."
Kubota's face turned red with embarrassment, he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Kubota was a soldier under his command, and he was a relatively outstanding one. Tsukahara Er4san also felt ashamed. He took a few steps forward and said to Yamamoto: "Your Excellency, they may have been frightened by the fierce battle in the morning. Although they were not Obtained detailed information, but after all, we learned the size and destination of the China reinforcements. Your Excellency, you still have the foresight. Now it seems that the China people must have determined that we will land in Wanning. As a result, they are in other places. The defense must be weak."
"Take a day off today, and start tomorrow to officially implement the combat plan of 'building a plank road and crossing Chencang secretly'. Tsukahara-kun, while I am away, the remaining warships will be under your command to maintain pressure on Wanning and let the Chinese think that our attack target is ours." It’s still here, it all depends on you.”
Tsukahara bent down and bowed, and said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will definitely make Wanning's Chinese army panic all day long."
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Yun arrived in Qiongzhou.
At that time, Qiongzhou's streets were in a state of depression due to the approaching war. As early as the 13th, when Wanning became a sea of fire, the wealthy people in Qiongzhou were worried that Qiongzhou would also be bombed by the Japanese army, so they all chose to retreat. Although the poor people in the inland towns a little far away from the Hainan line could not afford to leave, they also began to move to the countryside, thinking that the little devils would ignore them because of the poverty of the countryside.
Worried about disturbing the local people, the large army did not enter the city. Ouyang Yun drove into the city with more than thirty people and six vehicles. He saw a desolate scene along the way, and his face began to look ugly.
Pan Meiren knew what he was thinking, and she said: "Qiongzhou is too close to the battlefield. It would be a good thing for the garrison if the people evacuate early. If they are attacked by the Japs, they will have less worries during the battle."
After Shan Renxiong led his people to the front line, the military headquarters only left one guard battalion, and the person in charge of the work here was a deputy political director named Geng Lushan. A group of guard battalion officers and soldiers who maintained public security in the city were far away. They saw six military vehicles driving slowly. They didn't know that this was the commander-in-chief's motorcade. The leader asked the others to continue patrolling, and he brought a cadet to greet them.
Standing at attention and saluting, he introduced himself and asked politely: "May I ask which section you are from? Do you have a pass or identity certificate?"
When the convoy stopped, Bian Jingdao got out of the car and handed over his military officer ID. He said: "We are the garrison of the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief is going to your military headquarters. If you have time, brother, please show us the way."
"Ah, Commander-in-Chief." The little guard squad leader panicked. He quickly stood at attention again, saluted, and then said to Bian Jingdao: "Sir, please come with me."
"Get in the car."
"Ah, no need."
"Come up, the Commander-in-Chief is in a hurry."
Following the example of the Fifth Army Headquarters, Geng Lushan was discussing with several of his subordinates how to take measures to dispel the panic of the residents in the city. Suddenly someone came to report that the Commander-in-Chief had arrived.
"Commander-in-Chief." Geng Lushan didn't react.
At this time, Ouyang Yu had already walked in, and several of his men immediately stood up, stood at attention, and saluted, shouting: "Commander-in-Chief." Only then did he react, and immediately stood up and saluted.
"You are Geng Lushan." Ouyang Yun actually still remembered him,
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, you still remember me."
"Of course, I'm not old yet."
"hey-hey."
"Commander Shan has gone to the front line."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please sit down and I will make you tea."
"No, I'm going to the front line in a minute. I came to you to ask if Qiongzhou Airport can still be used."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, we have always protected Qiongzhou Airport very well. How about I take you to have a look?"
