Chapter 1540: Shouichi Terauchi's troubles
Tsukada was shocked, his expression was also full of disbelief, Jiang Haoran has eight aircraft carriers known to the world, and it has been confirmed that seven of them are still in the Liaonei Islands, and one of them was sunk by the locust army not long ago, even if the remaining six ships are all sailed to Hainan Island, it will not be possible to do it in such a short time.
Where did the ships on the sea come from? Could it be that Jiang Haoran is ready to use the remaining aircraft carrier to attack Hainan Island?
This speculation was quickly denied by Tsukada himself, it is impossible for an aircraft carrier to support such a huge attack, even if Jiang Haoran has a large number of land aviation airports on the Indochina Peninsula, and the number of aircraft can cover the passage of steamers and fishing boats across the sea, but fools know that Hainan Island already has a mature fortress-type defense, and it is impossible to cross the fortress defense line without sufficient naval guns and landing ships, and he Jiang Haoran is not an idiot.
Both of them felt that the situation was serious, and immediately sent a telegram to Ozawa Jizaburo of the Dutch East Indies to inquire about the whereabouts of the Chinese Pacific Fleet.
Ozawa quickly replied that the Chinese Pacific Fleet was still near the Riau Islands, and that there was a skirmish between them yesterday, and the Locust Army shot down three of their carrier-based aircraft.
At this time, both of them were a little dumbfounded, and Tsukada Tsukashi, who came back to his senses, immediately ordered the special high class to collect all the news about the direction of Yuelan in the past few days. Especially the major ports.
But it's a pity that the national army's intelligence blockade of Yuelan has been very perfect, and the special high school has not collected any abnormal information from the major ports at all.
However, during this period, the troop movements in the Viet Lan and Siam areas were frequent, and troops were coming and going on the road every day, as if they were changing guards.
The two of them suddenly became alert, the national army was just preparing to attack the Dutch East Indies, what defense should they change at this time? Could it be just a pretense by Jiang Haoran, posing as an illusion of shuttling back and forth, but in fact, the troops are all moving in the same direction?
This kind of illusion is not difficult to create, it is too easy to fool the agents, as long as you keep planting soldiers to go back, and then follow the troops, you can't see the clue at all.
The Special High School immediately expanded the scope of intelligence collection and collected intelligence from Yunnan, Burma, and Guangxi.
The problem was soon discovered, and in the past few days, there have been planes from all over the country to airlift supplies over the Indochina Peninsula, and they don't know if they don't collect them, and the result really scared them.
There are dozens or hundreds of airports around the city, and there are materials sent to the Indochina Peninsula in the past few days, and the number of trains on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway has increased, all of which are full to empty cars, which are clearly transporting materials to Yuelan.
With the Viet Lan Haiphong Port, coupled with the huge sea transportation capacity in front of the national army, these materials will soon be able to reach every port in Viet Lan.
As soon as these news were summarized, Terauchi Shouichi and Tsukada immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Terauchi-kun, send a telegram to the base camp and ask for reinforcements and tactical guidance, right?" Tsukada attacked.
Shouichi Terauchi picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, trembled and took out one and put it in his mouth, struck three matches in a row before lighting the cigarette, took two puffs suddenly, and said, "Wait, wait, maybe all this is an illusion?" ”
Tsukada did not show great resoluteness, in fact, they all had a great luck mentality, the national army could not come up with a huge sea fleet to attack Hainan Island, and the "Ozaki defense line" was impregnable, and it was impossible to cross it without a strong enough navy.
For the rest of the day, the two of them sat still, anxiously waiting for the Navy and the Air Force to come with definite news.
An hour later, the Sixth Air Force departing from the port of Yaxian (Sanya) sent back the latest news: they were approaching the front line of the target, there was indeed a suspected presence of a fleet 50 nautical miles ahead, and the carrier-based reconnaissance plane had already taken off, and it would be able to obtain conclusive information immediately.
Terauchi Shou pushed open the window, there was a red cloud in the east, and the beautiful morning light had come, but every second next was very difficult for him.
After pacing back and forth in the room for I don't know how many laps, the phone on the desk finally rang.
Just after the first ring, Shouichi Terauchi had already picked up the microphone: "Moxi Moxi ......"
In the next second, Shouichi Terauchi seemed to be frozen by the immobilization technique, his mouth opened and his eyes widened, beads of sweat rolled out of his forehead, and his face was distorted to the extreme, which was very terrifying.
Two or three minutes later, there was a "click", and the microphone slipped out of his hand, but he still didn't know it, and kept his original posture motionless.
Tsukada stepped forward quickly, bent down and picked up the microphone that was shaking under the table, put it to his ear and listened, and there was a busy sound from inside.
Putting down the phone, Tsukada took Terauchi Shouichi's arm and shouted softly, "Terauchi-kun...... Teranachi-kun ......"
Terauchi Shouichi came back to his senses at this time, looked blankly at Tsukada and muttered: "It's over, it's over, Hainan Island is in danger." ”
"What the hell is going on, Terauchi-kun?"
Shouichi Terauchi sighed and said quietly: "The aviation has confirmed that the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group is real, and the number is amazing, the number of aircraft carriers is at least six or more, and there are countless warships of various types. They were frantically attacking the Sixth Brigade of the Locust Army, because they were too close to the advance, less than fifty nautical miles away from them, and the chance of escape was zero. ”
Tsukada opened his mouth wide and was completely dumbfounded, fighting against a battle group of more than six aircraft carriers with one aircraft carrier, and at a close distance of fifty nautical miles, fools understood that the Sixth Fleet had no possibility of escaping at all, and the carrier-based aircraft of the national army could blow them all up and sink them all with one take-off and landing.
There is no need for the help of shore-based aviation, nor does it need shore-based anti-ship missiles and missiles, and carrier-based fighters and aircraft alone can send them all to the bottom of the sea.
Where did such a huge aircraft carrier battle group of the national army come from?
This is probably the biggest problem in the hearts of the two of them at present, but this meeting can not be taken care of, and the two who came to their senses immediately went to the headquarters and urgently convened a military meeting of the staff generals.
On the one hand, report the situation truthfully to the base camp, request support, and request tactical guidance.
On the one hand, all the military forces on the island will be mobilized to support, and more than 100,000 expatriates will also be mobilized to contribute to the defense of Hainan Island.
The island's air force immediately rushed out of the nest and went to the sea to rescue the 6th team and dealt a severe blow to the invading enemy. Of course, Terauchi Shouichi and Tsukada Tsukashi both knew that this was just a scene and could only be used to boost morale.
At present, the locust army and air force in Hainan Island and the Liangguang region have only one Sixth Flying Division, and the total number of aircraft in possession is more than 820 planes. Among them, 120 planes were assigned to a brigade at Nanning Airport, 120 planes were assigned to a battalion at Hong Kong Airport, and there were more than 40 planes on the Leizhou Peninsula; a few days ago, Jizaburo Ozawa took another 200 planes, and now there are only 300 planes on the entire Hainan Island.
