On August 6, at around one o'clock in the morning, Baiyunshan Airport woke up under the illumination of hundreds of lamps of various types. In the snowy light, the ground crews were busy refueling the fighter planes, checking the mechanical conditions, and one after another. A trailer towed the fighter planes out of the hangar. Soon, the apron was filled with fighter planes.
At around 3:30, the ground crew's preparations were completed. Immediately, a sharp bell rang in the pilot dormitory area. Less than five minutes after the bell rang, more than 400 pilots came out of the fish ladder. At the gate of the dormitory area, the dining car was still there. The service staff in the base canteen have already been in place. When every pilot passes by the dining car, he will receive a breakfast including a can of soy milk and two meat buns.
Tielin Fei and the heads of various departments of the Air Force stayed up all night on the tarmac. When the pilots led by Xue Changkong walked over while eating breakfast, they greeted him, "Commander." They saw Tielin Fei. ,Xue Changkong instinctively stopped chewing and raised his hands in salute,
The pilots following him also raised their hands in salute. Seeing this, Tielin Fei quickly waved his hands and said: "Brothers, please, we have no other purpose here. We just hope to give everyone a little encouragement."
A quarter of an hour later, as a Baiji roared into the sky, then, on the three take-off runways, one after another Baiji and the Sky Fortress rose into the sky one after another. The fighter jets were all Baiji, a total of thirty-eight in the sky. There are a total of twenty-one fortresses, including eight that are assembled from imported parts from the American Boeing Company. Behind the Baiji Dolphin and the Sky Fortress are forty-six medium bombers. Among them, there are Xuebing 1H type bombers manufactured by the Xuebing Army themselves. , there are also various new bombers imported from the United States and the Soviet Union,
There were a total of 105 fighters, including more than 20 fighters from the Qiongzhou Flying Group of Blue Volcano. After all the fighters took off, under the command and dispatch of Xue Changkong, they formed three clusters and flew towards the preset destination. Soon, he disappeared from the sight of Tie Linfei and others.
The dark blue east began to turn into a fish belly white, and a few minutes later, red-orange clouds quickly formed. Ijuin Matsuji stood on the deck of the Kongo. After doing a set of morning exercises, he looked at the beautiful scenery where the sea and the sky meet in the east and said with emotion: "What a beautiful morning."
Inside the Dahuajiao radar station, Du Xin, Wu Wenwen and others were busy, constantly answering or making calls. However, inside and outside the radar station, a battalion of cadets were waiting with guns and live ammunition.
The combined fleet has returned to the waters of Hachisho Port. On the Kaga, Yamamoto Isoroku was standing on the deck with his coat on. He looked at a coconut grove on the land in the distance in a daze. Koizumi walked up to him and handed it to him. He cupped a cup of hot tea and said softly: "Sir, you are worrying about those bastards in the Osaka Division again."
Yamamoto came to his senses. He glanced at Koizumi, took the tea cup from his hand with a smile, and said: "No matter what, it is always the army of the empire. Koizumi, do you think I have gone too far in doing this? If I am attacked by China If people knew about it, this would bring disaster to the Osaka Division."
"Even if the Chinese people knew about it, they would not dare to take drastic measures. Commander, you have not given up on the Osaka Division. Otherwise, why would we come back here? As long as we are within the range of naval guns and aviation, the Chinese people will not You'd be stupid enough to come here and die."
Just as the two were saying this, Tsukahara Er43 came over. He greeted them from afar, and then said to Yamamoto: "Sir, according to the schedule, Ijuin-kun and the others should have arrived in the South China Sea. Wait a moment." In two days, we can launch a new round of offensive."
Ever since he led the Combined Fleet on the voyage to conquer Hainan Island, Yamamoto had always had a bad feeling in his heart. This feeling bothered Yamamoto and made him unable to eat well or sleep well. After successfully destroying the Jianling "Radar Station", this bad feeling disappeared from the depths of his heart for a time, but now, because of Tsukahara's words, this feeling came to mind again, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Yamamoto His face turned a sickly red color as a result. He shook his head vigorously and suddenly said loudly: "That's not right."
The words were loud enough and appeared extremely suddenly. Koizumi and Tsukahara were startled at the same time. They turned to look at him with surprised eyes. Something flashed in their minds. Yamamoto concentrated on trying to catch it, but it was in vain. He Suddenly he let out a heavy breath, stared at Tsukahara and asked: "How many Type 99 fighters do we have in total?"
Tsukahara replied: "Thirty-one."
"Let them attack immediately, target the Nagasaki supply fleet."
Tsukahara and Koizumi looked at each other and immediately responded respectfully: "Hai." Then they turned around and ran back.
Koizumi looked at Yamamoto and asked cautiously: "Commander, are you worried that the Nagasaki supply fleet will also be attacked by the Chinese?"
"Yes, Xiaoquan, the Nagasaki supply fleet is too involved, so I have to be cautious. I have dealt with Ouyang Yun more than once or twice. This person is cunning and cunning."
Xiaoquan was very dissatisfied with Ouyang Yun at first, thinking that the latter was able to repeatedly cause trouble for the empire just because he did not show up. But after this period of experience, he put away his contempt and nodded and said: " You are right to be cautious. This is a serious matter and we cannot be too cautious."
Baisha, on a forest path near the Western Front Headquarters of the Fifth Army, Ouyang Yun, Pan Meiren and Chen Jiayao were walking slowly. He suddenly said to Chen Jiayao: "Jiayao, go back to Guangzhou first and find Tiange. Tell him about the war situation in Hainan, and then talk to him about our past affairs."
Chen Jiayao blushed. She looked at him doubtfully and said, "It's not appropriate. He must not want to see me now. Besides, I don't have the nerve to go see him alone."
Ouyang Yun stopped, looked at Chen Jiayao quietly and said: "After arriving in Guangzhou, I have had too little contact with Tiange. Some things are no longer convenient for me to say to him in person. You are different. After all, you have known each other for many years. , Tiange is not a petty person, before you go to see him, go to Guo Biao first, Guo Biao will give you some advice."
These words were ambiguous and contained too many meanings. Chen Jiayao was confused at first, then she couldn't help but feel frightened when she thought about it. She said: "Brother, have you heard something? Tiange has always been loyal to you. Which, and, and..." Due to issues of position and identity, she was unable to say some words.
Ouyang Yun knew what she was worried about. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if it doesn't reach that point, even if it really comes to that point, unless it is a matter of principle, I will not care about Tiange. You, you are thinking too much." .”
Chen Jiayao's face turned red.
The reason why Chen Jiayao is thinking wildly is that the news coming from Guangzhou recently is too complicated and sensitive. Although she doesn't care much about these things, she spends all day with Pan Meiren and Ouyang Yun, so she knows a little bit about it through hearsay, and because she doesn't know much about it, thorough, so she would make a fuss out of it, for fear that something big would happen between Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange.
