"However, this time the Guangzhou airport was attacked by an air raid, and a full seventy or eighty fighters were lost, and the number of fighters in our battlefield in China has been seriously tightened!"

Hearing this general's suggestion, several Japanese staff officers said in a sullen voice: "At present, the total number of fighters in our army is only more than 100 in the China battlefield and the Taiwan side fighters, and it is estimated that the number of fighters in China launching air attacks will never be less than 70 or 80 sorties, which is not inferior to our air power. ”

"Once we mobilize all the fighters to cooperate with the attack on Hong Kong, once the rest of the battlefield China launches a counteroffensive, we will no longer have air superiority, and I am afraid that the casualties of our army will increase exponentially!"

Several staff officers went on to say that when they heard these words, the generals who knew the situation were also silent, they never expected that the campaign to attack Hong Kong would suffer such heavy losses before it was launched!

These generals all know that the empire has a large number of fighters, and because of the sufficient degree of industrial development and mature fighter research and development technology, the island can also complete the annual production capacity of more than 1,000 fighter sorties, but due to the blockade of the Pacific Ocean by Britain and the United States in the past year, all kinds of raw materials are being consumed sharply, and this production capacity can only be on paper at present.

In view of the fact that the war situation in the Chinese theater tends to be confrontational, and the number of fighters in Chongqing is pitiful, many Japanese fighters have been transferred to support the battlefields in Malaysia, India and other theaters.

Therefore, at present, the number of fighters in the Chinese theater of operations is only more than 200 sorties, and the original number is completely sufficient.

But what they never expected was that Lu Yuan would complete his work in one battle, mobilize almost all the fighters from Chongqing, plus their own fighters from Hong Kong, and suddenly launch a frantic air raid, destroying seventy or eighty fighters at once!

This preemptive air raid is like activating dominoes, magnifying those hidden crises infinitely!

They were horrified to find that the situation of the Imperial army was so dangerous that it looked like a fortified and golden castle on the outside, but it was already rotten on the inside.

If you don't pay attention, there will be a total collapse!

What does it mean to move the whole body?

That's it!

Okamura Ninji smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that you only think about the battlefield in China, but have you ever thought about the root cause of this situation?

If Prime Minister Hideki Tojo hadn't insisted on going his own way and going to war in an all-out way, how could the situation have deteriorated to this point if it had gone wrong at all?

But now, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo has supreme prestige among the main battle faction in the country, and the success of this sneak attack on Pearl Harbor will push his prestige to infinite heights, not to mention His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that even the gods dare to refute Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, those crazy imperial people and soldiers, I am afraid they dare to attack it en masse!

Therefore, although he Okamura Ninji never wanted to continue to attack Hong Kong at this time, he had to agree with the opinions of those radical generals - if he did not agree, it would be tantamount to being an enemy of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, and the saliva of the people of the empire could drown him alive!

The order was issued quickly, and it didn't take long for Taiwan, Qiqihar, Northeast, Shanghai and other places to take off and rush straight to the area of Guangzhou!

At the same time, the group of planes led by Chen Tianmin and others in Guangzhou and Bao'an County was frantically going back and forth between the Changsha airfields, loaded with ammunition, and immediately took off, once again rushing to various Japanese strategic targets in Guangdong, especially those in Bao'an County, and bombing indiscriminately again and again, as if they wanted to vent all the evil anger that the Chinese Air Force had received at the hands of Japanese fighters for several years in just a few hours!

The black curtain gradually fell, and the blood-red morning sun slowly jumped out of the horizon.

From the territory of Hong Kong, you can see black smoke rising into the sky everywhere along the border, the sound of explosions, or the figure of warplanes that are rapidly passing by from time to time.

The people gathered in the square and waited for the delivery of rice and grain screamed and jumped excitedly, and they had already witnessed the continuous explosions in Bao'an County last night, and they also saw the fighter planes that constantly took off and landed from Kai Tak Airport and then rushed into the sky, so the news about the preemptive strike on the Hong Kong side and the air attack on the Japanese army had already spread.

These days, hundreds of thousands of people in Hong Kong are living in the shadow of the Japanese army all the time, and they can't live in fear all day long.

This air raid gave them endless hope, and they began to believe that the British troops on the island would not tolerate the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong so easily.

But there are also many people who are wondering, how did the British suddenly dare to take the lead in attacking the Japanese army? Who gave these Brits the guts?

In the headquarters, Lu Yuan, Xu Yun, Lone Wolf and others stood in front of the window, looking at the gunpowder smoke rising in the morning sun on the border line and the explosions that were still coming from time to time, as if they were looking at a beautiful scenery that they had never seen in their lives, their faces were filled with happiness and bright smiles, because they knew that this time they really blew up the little devil!

I'm even about to cry!

The same is true of the soldiers who came with them and were scattered all over Hong Kong at this moment, laughing back of their teeth out, carefully savoring the hearty pleasure of pressing and beating the other party with the devil they hated the most, but they didn't even have a chance to fight back.

It's just that at this moment, Yang Muqi, Mard Heberworth, and other British generals obviously can't experience the pleasure, they only experience horror, endless horror!

In their topcoat, there was the latest telegram - not long ago, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the US Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, several battleships were sunk, and a large number of battleships were seriously damaged and no longer operational.

The huge Pacific Fleet was crippled directly in the air raid!

President Roosevelt has urgently contacted Prime Minister Winston Churchill to discuss countermeasures, and there is a possibility that war will be declared on Japan at any time, and the Imperial War Department has called, and is ready for a possible Japanese attack on Hong Kong at any time!

These news are like thunderstorms one by one, and Yang Muqi and others are dizzy and star-popping.

Originally, they used shameless means to control Hong Kong by Lu Yuan, and took the lead in carrying out air raids on the Japanese army without their permission, and they were worried that this would bring extremely serious consequences, that is, the Japanese army, which had no intention of attacking Hong Kong, would retaliate madly against Hong Kong!

Although they were forced by Lu Yuan's deterrence, they had to cooperate with Lu Yuan or obey orders, but each of them had already prepared in their hearts that as long as they had the opportunity, they would ruthlessly sue Lu Yuan - even if they didn't listen to who Lu Yuan was talking about, no one could help him.

But they had to sue for this, because it was the only way for them to maintain their gentlemanly dignity!

But now, the Japanese army has attacked Pearl Harbor and shattered all the resentment in their hearts!

Because of their fear at this time, Lu Yuan seemed to have expected the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor, so he would bomb the Japanese strategic targets in Bao'an County in advance, the crux of the question is, how did he know? If he knew, why didn't he inform the Americans and take precautions in advance?

What does he want to do?
