"What?"

Antenriji was taken aback, stared at Kondo Nobutake's face for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Kondo-kun, you're not joking!" Dozens of artillery pieces? How big is a cargo ship of less than 2,000 tons? Can you fit so many guns? ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Kondo Nobutake was a little annoyed and said: "I have already told the truth, if An Tengjun doesn't believe it, he can go to investigate it himself." ”

Antengriji hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't believe Kondo-kun, I just hope you can tell more details..."

Kondo snorted and waved at one of the attendants behind him. The attendant immediately opened the folder he was carrying, took out a telegram from it, and respectfully handed it to Nobutake Kondo.

Kondo Shintake said: "An Tengjun, this is a telegram sent back by the Haikou Coast Guard this morning, which tells the story of the naval battle in detail, if you don't believe what I said, take the telegram and take a look..."

Antengliji was not polite, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to take the telegram and read it carefully, and when he saw that it contained a description that "nearly 100 shells fell during a single shelling of a merchant ship of the Chinese army", the whole person was not good.

After reading the telegram, Antenriji was silent and looked at Nobutake Kondo in a daze.

Seeing this, Kondo Nobutake was even more angry, and frowned: "What? Do you still suspect that my subordinates are lying about the military situation? ”

Antenglige shook his head and said, "It's not that I doubt this, but I'm even more confused after reading the telegram. According to the telegram description, the number of Chinese reinforcements was not large, only about one regiment or so. You must know that the equipment of the Chinese army is generally very backward, let alone a regiment or a division, and it may not be able to have so many artillery. I really don't understand, what kind of troops are they? ”

As soon as these words came out, Kondo Nobutake also fell into deep thought. The two stared at each other and thought for a moment, and Antenriji suddenly seemed to suddenly realize, and said, "Kondo-kun, I think I know who they are..."

Nobutake Kondo also asked thoughtfully, "You mean..."

"The regiment directly under the military police in China?" Antenliji nodded and replied: "I suspect that it is them, according to intelligence, China is the only force that is equipped with such powerful firepower now, and it can also be matched in terms of numbers." ”

After a pause, he said worriedly: "I heard that the combat effectiveness of this unit is very amazing, although I have never fought against it before, but judging from the information given by the staff headquarters of the base camp, they have become the number one henchman of our Great Japanese Empire in China. Beginning with the Battle of Shanghai, this unit has repeatedly set back our army's offensive and operational plans, and has won almost many battles, and most of the time, it has won more with less, and all the units of our army that have fought against it have suffered heavy casualties. ”

Antengliji sighed: "If it is really this Chinese army that comes, I think we will be in big trouble." At present, the living force of our army on the island is only more than 10,000 people, and judging from the enemy's firepower and their previous combat examples, if they attack with all their might, I think it will be difficult for us to support it, let alone attack Haikou, and even whether we can hold the occupied area will become a problem. Kondo-kun, I suggest that you immediately request reinforcements from above, what do you think about this? ”

Kondo Shintake said: "I have also heard what you said, but whether the Chinese reinforcements on the island are them or not still needs to be confirmed, and we must not mess with ourselves." ”

"Why is that?" Antengliji asked.

Kondo Shintake explained: "Because a few days ago, I just received information from the first base of the T combat unit of the Navy on the Nanchang side, which shows that this unit called the regiment directly under the Chinese military police has been fighting in the Nanchang area recently, although they have made some obstacles to us in the process of our army capturing Nanchang, but in the end they have not been able to prevent our army from moving south to seize Nanchang. The most important thing is that, according to the latest intelligence, it seems that the Chinese military is now preparing a counteroffensive against Nanchang, and at this time, I think it is impossible for this force to cross thousands of miles in such a short period of time to support an island hanging overseas, after all, compared to here, I am afraid that Nanchang is more important..."

Kondo Nobutake analyzed it like this, just because Bai Fei's investment in Hainan has not yet spread. All the Japanese, including him, had no idea what Hainan meant to Bai Fei.

On the contrary, it was Antengligi who objected and said, "Kondo-kun, we have previously dispatched more than 30 planes to help in the battle in order to capture Haikou. But the result? Not only did it not make the slightest progress, but in a short period of time it was shot down by more than 20 aircraft by the opponent's anti-aircraft weapons. As far as I know, this advanced anti-aircraft weapon is one of the killer weapons of the regiment directly under the gendarmerie, and I have never heard of other Chinese troops equipped with it. Therefore, I conclude that Haikou's defense strength must also be related to it. ”

After hearing this, Kondo Nobutake also muttered in his heart. These days, the Navy's planes have not dared to participate in the war easily, precisely because of the previous fiasco at Haikou. It's just very strange, if the defenders are really the regiments directly under the military police, why have they always been defeated recently?

Antengie couldn't explain this.

After discussing for a while, the two sides finally decided to raise the vigilance of the troops on the front line first, and at the same time send several planes to reconnoiter and make a decision after obtaining the results. After all, even if it is not easy to apply for reinforcements, it is easy to give the impression of incompetence on the top, if it is just thunder and rain, and make a big fuss, wouldn't it be shameful?

As a result, it didn't take long for several Japanese planes to take off from the temporary airfield built after the Japanese occupation of Sanya and fly to the Danzhou area to carry out reconnaissance missions.

However, what people did not expect was that before the reconnaissance plane flew to Danzhou, the Japanese Japanese Taiwanese mixed brigade on the Danzhou side had already fallen into the encirclement arranged by Bai Fei on all sides. For a time, the brigade commander Iida Shojiro's report for help flew to Sanya like snowflakes, and when Anten Rikichi and Kondo Nobutake saw the telegram, they were shocked and restless, and hurriedly ordered Ma Yuanjiu, the captain of the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade of the Hainan Dispatch Force, who was attacking Ding'an, to withdraw troops and return to help, and rescue the Taiwan mixed brigade that was under siege from the flank.

When Ma Yuanjiu's gang received the order, they were organizing their subordinates to forcibly cross the Nandu River. Half an hour ago, Ding'an County, on the south bank of the Nandu River, had been occupied by him without difficulty. If you continue to make persistent efforts, you only need to crush the Chinese defenders defending along the river on the north bank, and you can go all the way to Haikou unimpeded.

Who would have expected that halfway through the task of crossing the river, it was about to be successfully landed, but they received an order to withdraw the troops, and Ma Yuanjiu's gang was in a mood like a dog, not to mention how bad it was. He wanted to ignore it, but the command's orders were like snowflakes, one after another, and the words became tougher and tougher.

As a last resort, Ma Yuanjiu's gang could only order the withdrawal of troops. Tossing back and forth on the river, the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, which had not suffered too many casualties along the way, left more than 800 corpses on the river at this time, and the distressed Ma Yuanjiuzhi Gang scolded all the way, but could only lead the troops to rush to Danzhou, 80 kilometers away.

However, Ma Yuanjiu's gang did not expect that what greeted him would be even greater casualties...
