Qiongshan County, later Haikou City was expanded based on this.
But in the 1940s, the county seat was just a small town covering an area of about five or six square kilometers, with relatively complete city walls and defenses.
Qiongshan Middle School in the city was founded in April 1913. By 1937, it had become the most famous school providing secondary knowledge education in the northern part of Hainan Island. After the Japanese army launched the war of aggression against China, Qiongshan County repeatedly
It was harassed by Japanese bombings. For the safety of teachers and students, the school moved to Longtang Market in Qiongshan County.
The Japanese army established a colonial government and forced Qiongshan County back to the county seat as proof of jointly building the "Promised Land of Kings". The Wang Puppet Government moved south to Hainan, and the Ministry of Education did not have much school guidance, so it regarded Qiongshan Middle School as its most important political achievement.
As of April this year, Qiongshan Middle School has enrolled more than 3,000 students through free education.
By 8 a.m., various parts of Hainan Island were attacked by successive waves of missiles from the Anjia Army, and most important areas had been burned to the ground.
Under such circumstances, Hainan Army Commander Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro no longer cared about dignity and propriety, and took the initiative to avoid dangerous areas and hid in the two-story wooden office building of Qiongshan Middle School, surrounded by desks on the ground floor.
Military meetings of several grades are held in a circle of conference rooms.
At nine o'clock in the morning, as the army and navy generals arrived one after another, the meeting was officially held.
Uchiyama Eitaro looked around at the generals and generals with bright eyes and said loudly: "Gentlemen, the Anjia Army suddenly launched a missile attack on our army, causing heavy losses to our troops stationed in various places. Based on various signs, we can fully surmise that the Anjia Army will soon general
Launching a landing operation on Hainan Island, how do you think we should handle it?"
"What else can be done?"
Lieutenant General Takahashi Tagaji, commander of the 57th Army of the Japanese Army, who hurriedly came to the meeting, gritted his teeth and said: "The losses are so great. Only our 57th Army, the death toll known so far has exceeded 3,000... Anjia
Our hands are stained with the blood of the Imperial Army of Japan. We can only retaliate with tooth for tooth. Eye for eye. To reward the soldiers for their heroic spirit in heaven!
"What a shame. Three lieutenant generals were attacked at the same time. The loss of major generals and officers reached 36 people! This is not only a shame for our 57th Army. It is also a shame for all the officers and men of the Hainan Army. It is also a shame for the Imperial Japanese Army.
! We must give the Chinese people a head-on blow in order to vent our endless grievances!
"Your Excellency, Commander. I think that from now on, the entire island should strengthen its defenses and give the Anjia Army a head-on attack at any time when they land, so as to avenge today's shame!"
"What kind of head-on attack?"
Lieutenant Colonel Harayama Noboru, the intelligence staff officer of the Fifteenth Navy Air Fleet stationed in Hainan Island, glanced at Vice Admiral Takahashi and said in a sinister tone:
"Now we have given away three division commanders without even noticing the shadow of our opponent. It is hard to imagine what disastrous consequences this war with no chance of winning will bring if it continues! I need to remind everyone here that in
In the previous attacks, the Imperial Army's aviation force was almost completely lost, and the vital air superiority was lost. How should we deal with the Anjia Army's next offensive? Should we only rely on ground troops? Wake up!"
At this point, Yuan Shandeng's expression became solemn: "Gentlemen, I will not elaborate on the terrifying aspects of fighting in a hail of bullets. We still don't know the An Jiajun's next action plan, but I can be sure that we will
It will face unprecedented challenges, and it is very likely that a wave of terrible air strikes will come.
"Between life and death, I recommend that the necessary evacuation of the troops be carried out immediately, and the irrelevant imperial industrial workers and non-combatants serving in the mining, shipyards and railways be sent away. At the same time, the battle plan should be revised, and the coastal areas must be fully considered.
The situation after the fall and the interruption of internal and external transportation, because next we are likely to face an unprecedented deadly battle!"
The Japanese Navy deployed a small fleet on Hainan Island that could only provide escort and transportation. The land-based air force squadron was transferred to the Central Pacific region to fight, leaving only a few observation liaison officers, and Lieutenant Colonel Hara Yamatoro was the representative.
the voice of the Fifteenth Air Fleet.
Chen Qun, the traitor leader who was attending the meeting, was in high spirits and was about to echo his words when an angry roar came out.
"Baga!"
Rear Admiral Masanori Hasegawa, the chief of staff of Lieutenant General Takahashi Taga II, stood up, waved his fists, and roared at Noboru Harayama: "Cowards who are afraid of death! Is this the position and attitude of your navy? Looking at this
With the evolution of the war situation in the past three or four months, your navy has not only been afraid to dispatch main warships to Hainan, but also emphasized the objective unfavorable factors anytime and anywhere, saying that deploying a fleet in Hainan is no different than risking death. It is clearly a passive avoidance of war!
"Now the enemy and we have not yet engaged in battle, and you are actively trying to escape! You cowardly naval officers should all be punished as national traitors!"
"presumptuous!"
Seeing a group of naval officers standing up angrily, indicating that a civil strife was about to occur, Lieutenant General Eitaro Uchiyama quickly stopped Hasegawa Masanori:
"When Ishihara-kun served as chief of staff, he had already reached an agreement with the Navy Command to integrate the army and navy. Within the military and political system of the empire, any behavior that provokes conflict between the army and the navy is not allowed! It will lead to confrontation between the army and the navy.
Collectively and individually, the punishment ranges from demerits to canceling the united flag, to ordering caesarean section!
"Besides, the Fifth Air Force of the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet has just won a major victory over the U.S. Navy in the Central Pacific. Judging from the current situation, another great victory is just around the corner! We should cheer for the great achievements of the Navy, not
Groundless accusations here!
"Hasegawa, if you don't want to lose your position as chief of staff, apologize to Mr. Hara now!"
A group of navy officers looked at each other in disbelief, but when they heard Eitaro Uchiyama's praise for the navy, they all looked pleased, looked at each other, smiled, and sat down consciously.
For the noble navy, the clamor of the Army Red Deer is not worth mentioning at all. After all, since the outbreak of the Pacific War to the present, the Japanese Navy has not suffered a defeat except for its attack on the Bohai Bay under Tojo Hideki's wrong order.
The failure was also caused by the mistakes of the Japanese Army Chief of Staff, which further aggravated the superiority mentality of naval officers and soldiers.
"Hi--"
Hasegawa Masanori lowered his head in grievance, his eyes full of stubbornness, but he apologized: "Mr. Harayama, please forgive Hasegawa for being rude!"
Lieutenant General Takahashi Taga II hurriedly smoothed things over for his chief of staff: "Hainan Island is surrounded by sea, and the Qiongzhou Strait in the north is even closer, but the Imperial Navy is always reluctant to send a fleet to assist our army in defense. Hasegawa has some complaints.
It’s understandable! And we haven’t engaged in a fight yet. Thinking about escaping first is not a normal reaction, right?”
At this time, a staff officer walked up to Eitaro Uchiyama and handed him a telegram.
Eitaro Uchiyama frowned after reading the telegram, called the communications staff officer and whispered a few words in his ear, then waved his hand and asked the staff officer to leave.
Lieutenant Colonel Hara Yamato was not affected by this episode at all, and said categorically: "Commander, I must carefully warn that if we don't seize the time to organize an evacuation, I'm afraid we will never be able to leave again! Think about the war in the Far East and Northeast, it's exactly
Due to excessive optimism before the war, a large number of expatriates were unable to evacuate in time. Now these people have become free labor for the Anjia Army to build the Far East and the Han Peninsula!
"Based on my long-term understanding of Anjiajun, Anjiajun's navy must be on its way to Hainan Island at this time. And its air force is expected to fly over our heads within half an hour, and once again launch an attack on us who have lost the support of our air force.
After indiscriminate bombing, our exposed military camp has become a defensive position. It is the focus of the opponent's attack! Even due to the lack of air supremacy, it is difficult for us to mobilize our troops! In this extremely unfavorable situation, we must think about how to deal with the aftermath!
"Everyone here should know that the main force of the Imperial Navy's Combined Fleet is engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the U.S. Navy in the Central Pacific region, and in the Indian Ocean region, one of our naval fleets is dueling with the Anjia Army's naval fleet approaching the Western Indian Ocean to prevent it.
An attempt to march on Madagascar.
"This also means that we cannot hope to obtain the support of naval ships in a short period of time. It is simply unrealistic to block the Qiongzhou Strait. The opponent can choose to land at any time and at any place! In this case, relying solely on land defense
, can it withstand the trinity attack of Anjiajun's navy, land and air?
"If it were before the missile attack today, Yuan Shan would have thought that with our military strength, we would not dare to let the Anjia Army take advantage of it, but it would be no problem to sustain it for three to five months. After all, landing operations are a worldwide problem, and coastal areas
We have been operating those fortifications and bunkers for a long time, and due to the implementation of mobile defense, no matter where a crisis occurs in any direction, our army can quickly assemble, form a local superior force, and drive the enemy into the sea.
"However, after today, this problem has become very small. I wonder if you have ever thought about how you can deal with such unpredictable missiles? If our troops are being assembled and are attacked by missiles, how should we respond?
?No! Not to mention that because the Army Air Force lost all its airports and fighter planes, the Anjia Army Air Force fighter planes were allowed to wreak havoc!"
As if to confirm Yuan Shanden's words, the shrill air-raid sirens sounded inside and outside Qiongshan County. The faces of all the participants changed drastically, and they panicked and wanted to leave the conference room to hide in the air-raid.
Uchiyama Eitaro stopped the commotion at the scene and said calmly: "Why panic? This is a school, a sacred place for Chinese people to teach and educate. An Jiajun, who always prides himself on fairness and justice, will not take action here.
!”
The Japanese general Zuo who attended the meeting sat down with the traitor who was attending the meeting, but he still seemed uneasy.
Chen Qun took out his handkerchief, wiped the drops of cold sweat from his forehead, and discussed in a low voice with another traitor Chu Minyi, then Chen Qun said to Uchiyama Eitaro:
"Your Excellency, Commander, I think General Yuanshan's suggestion is very reasonable. The war is coming soon. At this time, it no longer makes any sense for us National Government officials to stay on Hainan Island... Baiwuyi is just a scholar, and we people are still
Why not temporarily evacuate to Australia, unite tens of millions of overseas Chinese, and serve the great cause of the Imperial Paradise of the Japanese Empire!"
"this--"
Lieutenant General Eitaro Uchiyama hesitated for a moment, and his expression became extremely solemn.
At this time, as the commander, Uchiyama was very reluctant to let Chen Qun and others leave, because this would directly affect the war preparations of the Japanese troops stationed in Hainan Island. After all, once these people left, in addition to the instability of the Wang puppet regime, the five divisions
The puppet army may also have ideological confusion. Instead, the Japanese army will separate some of the already nervous troops to watch these Chinese people to prevent them from causing trouble behind their backs, or they may simply turn to the Anjia army.
However, today Chen Qun saved his own life after all. Although it was unintentional, this move prevented the Japanese army in Hainan from losing their commander at the beginning of the war. Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Uchiyama believed that he should repay this.
Love.
Just when Eitaro Uchiyama was hesitant, Colonel Kinoshita Yoshizo, commander of the Japanese Navy's Nanhai Detachment, asked curiously: "Commander, I wonder who sent the telegram earlier?"
Eitaro Uchiyama was unwilling to respond directly to Chen Qun's suggestion, so he took the opportunity to change the subject and said cheerfully: "It's a telegram sent from Yaxian, the commander of the 12th Flying Division of the Army Aviation Corps. As a coordinator of Hainan, Taiwan and Ryukyu
The commander of the Army Aviation Air Force in the airspace. He hopes to understand the strength of the Anjia Army Air Force on the ground and make targeted combat plans.
"No one expected that he just arrived at Sanya Port yesterday. He was hit by a missile attack early this morning and could not get in touch with the airports in various places in time, so he sent me an anxious message to ask for details. I have asked the staff to send him the latest battle report.
It’s passed…”
Before he finished speaking, the roar of the aircraft engine outside was already heard. The Japanese generals got up from the conference table one after another, came to the wall, carefully went under the window and looked outside, and saw only six or seven hundred meters in the low sky.
, a dense fleet of silver-gray aircraft flew over like a dark cloud.
"boom--"
A huge explosion sounded. The "White House", which had been ravaged by a wave of missiles in the early morning, was once again the target of bombers. Although it was still three or four blocks away from the "White House", the fire was clearly visible. Black smoke columns shot straight into the sky.
.
In the southeast direction of Qiongshan Middle School, one after another explosions continued to be heard. Everyone knew without guessing that those sounds came from the Japanese army's Qiongshan camp.
"What is this? Bullying that we have no aviation force and trying to destroy our fighting spirit in one fell swoop?"
Takahashi Tagaji looked very ugly. He returned to the conference table and said to Eitaro Uchiyama: "Your Excellency, Commander, now my army is being attacked by the Chinese air force. In order to avoid greater casualties, I must rush back as soon as possible.
Deploy various departments for air defense and concealment. I will not attend this meeting. If you have any orders, just call me!
"However, before leaving, I hope Mr. Uchiyama will try to think more carefully. The base camp requires us to delay the attack of the Anjia Army on Hainan Island as much as possible, instead of retreating without a fight! If we fail to execute it well, or even collapse thousands of miles away, what is most needed
It is Mr. Uchiyama who takes responsibility!
"For Takahashi who is at the forefront, if he stays on Hainan Island for one day, he will continue to fight until he fulfills the oath of 'see you at Yasukuni Shrine' that he made when he left the Japanese archipelago by boat and will never back down... Farewell
Got it!"
After that, Takahashi Tagaji and Chief of Staff Masanori Hasegawa bowed to Uchiyama and then left in a hurry.
"The courage of an ordinary man!"
Colonel Kinoshita Yoshizo glanced sideways at the backs of Takahashi and Hasegawa, and said disdainfully: "In modern warfare, sea control and air control have been raised to unprecedented heights. I only have four destroyers, six torpedo boats and twelve gunboats in my hands.
Once the Anjiajun navy attacks, we will be completely powerless to stop it.
"In order to preserve our strength, our Nanhai Detachment can only choose to temporarily evacuate Hainan Island. Your Excellency, Commander, I also ask you to think twice before you act and try to leave a way out for the emperor's people!"
Uchiyama Eitaro snorted coldly: "What if I don't agree? Does Kinoshita-kun want to bear the charges of being a coward and a deserter?"
"What's so scary about death? It's just a temporary pain. What I'm worried about is that the great cause of the empire will be ruined because of our ignorance!" Kinoshita Yoshizo raised his head stubbornly: "Commander Uchiyama, there are hundreds of thousands of emperors on Hainan Island.
If people are used on other battlefields, they will play a greater role! Since we know that we can't win the war, what's the point of persisting? In fact, the best battle plan is to evacuate from now on!"
"Baga!"
Uchiyama Eitaro's voice was stern: "Before the official order from the base camp is issued, Uchiyama can only choose to live or die with Hainan Island! Kinoshita-kun, if you want to leave, you should leave early and take Chen Jun and Chu Jun away together. I have long suspected China."
There is a traitor hidden among the people, but we don’t know who revealed the empire’s military secrets. This time we can solve the problem once and for all!”
Chen Qun did not argue, and gratefully said to Lieutenant General Uchiyama: "Thank you very much, Uchiyama-kun... I suggest that the relatives of the imperial warriors, the Army Air Forces who lost their weapons, and the injured imperial officers and soldiers should be sent away together to preserve them for the empire.
A trace of vitality..."
"Yoshi!"
Eitaro Uchiyama nodded happily: "Over the years, the empire has moved more than 3,000 immigrants to Hainan, and there are more than 5,000 skilled workers here engaged in mining, road construction, weapons and ship repairs, etc. Let's send them all away this time.
!”
Listening to the constant sound of explosions outside Qiongshan Middle School, Uchiyama smiled bitterly: "Looking at the duration and scale of the air strike, the Anjia Army will definitely want to eliminate all threats before launching a landing operation. We will use this gap to move."
