After the Sino-Japanese War, especially the Chinese Navy's attack on Ryukyu, most of Japan's fleets were gathered there. Although the United States did not participate in the war, it also gathered the ships of the Seventh Fleet somewhere in the Pacific, waiting for the best opportunity.
At this time, Sasebo's naval strength was compromised. On the eve of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's landing in Nagasaki, the escort fleet raided Sasebo. Although the destroyers resisted vigorously, the final result in the face of the well-prepared and well-equipped Chinese navy was still
Leaving the sunken ship and fleeing hastily, Sasebo, the world-famous military port, no longer lives up to its name.
The Chinese navy sailed in the northern Gulf of Nagasaki with great force, while the army in Sasebo could only hide in the bunker and stare.
Of course, it is not enough for the Chinese navy to hang out in Nagasaki Bay. The unanimous idea of the navy officers is to swim in Tokyo Bay. Currently, they can only make do here in Nagasaki!
After receiving the mission to bomb Sasebo, the naval officers worked even harder, and shells flew all over the sky.
Having witnessed the bombing experience on the other side, the soldiers in Sasebo obviously did not have such strong fighting spirit. They were looking for hiding places. There was little cover near the dock, and many Japanese soldiers fled towards the city!
The bombing was in progress, and the transportation did not stop. A large number of transport ships were assembled to transport the soldiers of the Fourth Expeditionary Force from Nagasaki to Sasebo. Fine rain slowly fell from the sky.
A drop of rain fell on Colonel Abe's face. He opened his eyes and saw Lieutenant Ikeda resting next to a tree. A junior officer who was not a few years younger than him rested tiredly next to him.
Colonel Abe recalled his growth process. It took him three years to go from a lieutenant to a senior colonel, and finally he was appointed as the division commander of the Japanese star army. Now he recalls how much of his journey was supported by his father from behind.
.
It's ridiculous that I was still naive and thought it was all due to my own strength. Now that the entire army has been wiped out, I finally realize how naive and insignificant I was back then. After experiencing the disastrous defeat, Colonel Abe looked at the distant cities and towns and roared with blood dripping from his heart: "I want revenge!"
Colonel Abe, whose legs were numb, wanted to massage them with his hands, but found that he was still tied into a rice dumpling, and he hurriedly woke up Ikeda, who was still sleeping next to him.
The young lieutenant got up in a daze and found Colonel Abe looking at him with bright eyes. He helped him untie the rope sheepishly and apologized: "Colonel, I'm really sorry. I had to do it yesterday. Do you feel better?"
Colonel Abe continued what he said: "It's all my fault and it has nothing to do with you. Ikeda-kun, do you have the confidence to make a comeback with me? We will avenge our dead brothers!"
Ikeda looked at Colonel Abe with a firm and sad expression and said: "I will follow Colonel Abe to the death and avenge my brothers."
"Good!" Colonel Abe said with praise, and the two of them supported each other and struggled to explore forward in the long darkness and the slightest raindrops.
After walking through the woods, the sea washed up on the beach. Ikeda pointed at the black figure in front and said excitedly: "Colonel, there seems to be a boat in front of you?"
Colonel Abe witnessed the Chinese Navy blockading Nagasaki Bay with his own eyes. He said calmly: "Move there slowly and pay attention to concealment. The Chinese have surrounded Nagasaki Bay. How can there be a ship here?"
The two people walked carefully through the open space between the woods and the beach. Standing on the beach, Colonel Abe looked at the ship sailing slowly in the shallow sea. He hugged Ikeda excitedly. In the rain in the dark night, the white and red plaster on the ship could be seen.
The flag is still fluttering in the wind.
Ikeda stepped forward, sobbing hoarsely and shouting: "Here, Colonel Abe of the Japanese Independent Division is here..."
The sound reached the boat, and the lights were turned on. The strong searchlight stung Ikeda's eyes. The boat slowly turned its bow and headed towards the shore. The lights went out momentarily. A small patrol speedboat docked on the sea not far from the coast.
On the boat, the people on the boat jumped into the sea and awkwardly greeted this embarrassed future star of the Japanese army.
Colonel Abe finally sat safely on his boat. The speedboat turned off the lights again and sailed silently to the middle of the sea. The captain walked up to Colonel Abe, handed him hot tea and a towel and said: "General Tengtian is very concerned about your safety. China
After the general offensive begins, we are ordered to go to the north to search for remaining soldiers and rescue you."
Colonel Abe asked with concern: "What's the situation now?"
The captain said unhurriedly: "Sasebo's navy has basically been transferred away from the port. Otherwise, it would be the Chinese people's turn to be so impudent. Currently, the Chinese navy is showing off its power on the sea. Sasebo is not in danger for the time being. I heard that Lieutenant General Abe is already in charge.
Saga, the 14th Route Army has gathered on the line from Omura to Saga. Waiting for the end of the electromagnetic attack, 200,000 iron hooves will break through Nagasaki to maintain the stability and unity of Japan and crush the conspiracy of the China people."
Colonel Abe nodded. His father had already arrived in Saga. He should be able to unify the troop mobilization and coordination for the time being. He thought that he was also unable to control the Nagasaki garrison because of coordination and unity. Otherwise, the Chinese would never have been able to do so easily.
Ascend to Nagasaki!
The speedboat speeded up and made a slight noise. Colonel Abe, who stayed quietly on the speedboat, stared at the rippling water, thinking about how to get revenge in the future.
The roar of an explosion came from the distance, and everyone on the speedboat noticed the distance. The captain took out his infrared telescope and observed it. Suddenly he nervously ran down from the lookout, walked to Colonel Abe, and said anxiously: "The Chinese have begun to attack
The bombing of Sasebo, and the transport ship from Nagasaki is also preparing to land in Sasebo, what should we do?"
Colonel Abe looked at the gunfire and roaring sounds in the distance and said decisively: "Let's leave here and land near the village of Beibu Gulf. The Chinese ships are too big to enter the shallow bay?"
The captain asked: "Then we don't care about Sasebo? I am affiliated with the Sasebo local navy. It is not allowed by military law to flee before fighting."
Colonel Abe raised his head and asked word by word: "How many of you are there?"
The captain replied: "Nine!"
Colonel Abe asked again: "How many Shinas landed in Sasebo?"
The captain thought for a while and replied: "Judging from the number and size of transport ships, it should be no less than one division!"
Colonel Abe then asked: "Can you contact other troops now?"
The captain replied helplessly: "No, due to electromagnetic influence, the radio and satellite communication systems have been paralyzed."
Colonel Abe didn't wait for him to finish speaking and asked: "How many people are there in the Sase conservative army?"
The captain showed a thoughtful face and replied: "A little more than 10,000 people, and 3/7 of the soldiers have been transferred to Nagasaki."
