Itagaki Seishiro saw that Ishihara, who had always been high-spirited, was like this, and his heart suddenly burned with anger, and he just wanted to order his heavy artillery group to immediately retaliate and suppress the artillery fire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, there was a discolored, shrill roar in the distance.

Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara, two good friends, looked up at the same time, their faces changed greatly, and Ishihara Waner said even more urgently: "It's not good, it's the air force of the Shina Army!" ”

As soon as Ishihara's voice fell, a large number of fighters appeared in the sky as far as his eyes could see.

Zhang Xinghua piloted a Zero fighter and led the flight formation to dive down like locusts and began a fierce dive strafing at the Japanese position.

Behind him were dozens of Zero fighters, and behind the Zero group were hundreds of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers.

It turned out that Zhang Xinghua and his comrades-in-arms had just finished participating in the decisive battle between the sea and the air at sea, and the Japanese Navy was almost completely annihilated, and the more than 500 fighters of the Air Force were almost completely lost.

Just as they were about to return home, they happened to receive a telegram from Wang Tiehan asking for help, and without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xinghan ordered them to immediately fly to the Guanmen Strait to provide air fire support for the vanguard troops.

At this time, the benefits of the ultra-long range of the Zero fighter and the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber were fully realized, and although the Tsushima Strait was only a distance of more than 200 kilometers, they had already been engaged in a struggle with the Japanese Navy and Air Force at sea for nearly two hours.

If it weren't for their strong endurance, they wouldn't have been able to rush to the Guanmen Strait to help in the war without flying back to the base to replenish fuel.

The dense dive strafing of dozens of Zero fighters was like locusts in transit, and countless devil soldiers on the Japanese position fell screaming.

Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner, who were at the forward observation post, were also pressed by the guards on the side.

The dive of the Zero fighters was just foreplay, and the real climax was the hundreds of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers that came with them.

In the just-concluded decisive battle between the sea and the air, the large number of aerial bombs they carried were almost useless, and now they have finally found a place to use.

Tons of aerial bombs slammed down on the Japanese positions with a sharp and piercing whistling sound, producing a violent explosion after a mass of smoke everywhere the blast wave went. The devil's various bunkers and fortifications were destroyed in an instant, and all kinds of stump fragments were raging and shooting out.

The devil soldiers suffered heavy casualties and blood flowed like a river.

The Devil's heavy artillery positions not far away were also carpet-bombed by dozens of flying fortresses, and several artillery positions were all blown into a sea of fire and ruins without exception.

The huge heavy artillery was blown into piles of scrap metal, and thousands of devil artillerymen and logistics soldiers were torn to pieces by the raging shock wave before they could even scream.

In the forward observation post, Itagaki Seishiro Ishihara, who was lying on the ground, felt the violent vibration from the ground below him, and his heart was shocked, and he looked at each other, Ishihara Waner couldn't help but exclaim: "How can the air force of the Shina people still have the strength to attack us?" Could it be that our Navy and Air Force have already been defeated? ”

Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly got up, his eyes red like a wounded bull, and said, "No." It is absolutely impossible, our naval combined fleet of the Great Japanese Empire is the first fleet in Asia, and its combat power is invincible in the world, how can it be defeated by the weak Shina in the naval battle that we are best at? That's impossible! ”

Ishihara was speechless, and he didn't want to believe that this was true, but if it weren't for the defeat of his own navy and air force, how could the people of China send such a large air force to participate in the Battle of the Guanmen Strait?

"General be careful!" One of the guards suddenly jumped to his feet and threw Seishiro Itagaki to the ground.

"Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly sounded around them, and the violent shock wave instantly swept away the bunker above the entire observation post, and the raging shrapnel hit the people inside.

Among them was Ishihara and several guards. The devil soldier who risked his life to save Seishiro Itagaki was even more bloody in the back, and he vomited blood and died on the spot.

Seishiro Itagaki turned a blind eye to all this, and was still in the shock just now and couldn't come back to his senses, as a high-ranking military officer. He knew what it would mean for the entire Japanese Empire if the navy was defeated.

In the end, it was Ishihara's screams of pain that pulled him back to reality.

"Yaga, it's killing me......" Ishihara Wan'er lay on the ground and touched his ass with one hand, but he touched a hand of blood.

"Ishihara-kun. What happened to you? Seishiro Itagaki was taken aback and crawled over with a concerned face, and the guard behind him who had died trying to save him rolled to the side.

Come to me. Seishiro Itagaki noticed that his buttomo's ass was a blur of flesh and blood, and the blood had soaked through his pants, staining it a striking dark red.

"Medic! Medic! Itagaki Seishiro shouted as if he turned his head frantically.

However, at this time, the bombing and strafing in the sky was still raging, and the medical guards could not pass at all, and no one paid attention to itagaki Seishiro even if he shouted to cut his throat.

The bombing did not last long, after all, all the fighters and bombers had flown nearly 2,000 kilometers, and if it continued, they would not be able to return smoothly.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xinghua and his group of planes stopped the air raid and began to return with a swagger, and before leaving, they also flew to the defense position on the south bank of the Guanmen Strait and circled for a while.

Tens of thousands of officers and men of the Northeast Frontier Army on the south bank jumped out of the trenches and cheered, waving their hands to pay tribute to their air force.

On the other hand, the Japanese army, the landing force of a reinforced wing was successively attacked by the intensive fire coverage of the Katyusha rocket artillery of the Northeast Frontier Army and the bombardment of some air force flying fortresses.

Hundreds of landing craft and ships, large and small, were almost destroyed, and less than two-tenths of the thousands of attacking troops fled back to the north shore.

The devils on the north shore were even more miserable, and several artillery positions of the two heavy artillery brigades were hit by a carpet of powerful aerial fire and turned into a sea of fire.

The infantry defensive positions were also subjected to heavy strafing and bombardment, with thousands of casualties, and it can be said that the 100,000-strong army of Seishiro Itagaki had not even seen the shadow of the northeastern frontier troops on the other side, and the first attack, which had been prepared for a long time, ended in complete defeat.

South bank, the former enemy command post of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Before Wang Tiehan could make a phone call to encourage the officers and men of the regiments, especially the officers and men of the rocket artillery battalions, a communications staff officer rushed in.

"Commander, Commander, good news. Good news! ”

"What's the good news? Panicked like this? Wang Tiehan asked.

"The commander-in-chief has just received a telegram that the decisive naval and air battle in the Tsushima Strait has just ended, and the officers and men of the three armed forces of our northeastern frontier army have fought bravely to kill the enemy, won a great victory, and won a great victory in almost completely annihilating the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and a large number of air units.

The headquarters also said in the telegram that he had telegraphed the entire Jiaolong task force to dispatch to assist us in blocking the entire Guanmen Strait and the Guodong Peninsula.

It was no longer possible for the Japanese to enter Kyushu, and only when the second landing force arrived, they could launch an attack on Fukuoka, Kurume, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, and other places. Kyushu Island has been completely captured! The communications staff officer couldn't hold back his excitement.

"What? What did you say? Wang Tiehan couldn't react for a while.

The communications staff officer said with a happy face: "Commander, we won, we won!" ”

"Win?" Wang Tiehan came back to his senses and was overjoyed: "Great, great, immediately order Xing Zhanqing to immediately lead his troops westward and attack Kurume, forcing the 18th and 6th divisions of the Japanese army that are attacking Kitakyushu Island to retreat." In addition, the 117th Division must strictly defend the direction of the Enga River, and must not make any mistakes, and must ensure that the second echelon landing force smoothly joins our division! ”

"Yes!" The communications staff officer was also excited, and immediately responded, and immediately turned around and went away.

………………

Guanmen Strait. On the north bank, a field hospital of the Japanese army.

Ishihara has been sent over for treatment for a long time, and the shrapnel on his buttocks has finally been removed through the efforts of the doctors, and he is discussing the military situation with his good friends.

"Ishihara-kun. The Navy has just sent back news that our air force and the combined naval fleet have lost a decisive battle in the Tsushima Strait, and the main ships and officers and men of the naval fleet have been killed and wounded.

The aviation unit was completely wiped out......" Itagaki Seishiro's tone was filled with irrepressible sadness.

"Alas. Unexpectedly, the former weak and vulnerable Shina people became so powerful, and finally became the number one henchman of the Great Japanese Empire! Ishihara said with some helplessness.

"We were completely defeated in this attack, and almost all the landing craft were sunk and destroyed, and two heavy artillery brigades were also killed and wounded, and the losses were extremely heavy." Seishiro Itagaki continued.

"Ishihara-kun, what do you think we should do next?"

Ishihara said with a haggard face: "Now that the naval battle has ended, then we want to land on Kyushu Island next, and it can be said that there is little hope for supporting the 18th Division and the 6th Division." ”

When Seishiro Itagaki heard this, he immediately said, "Ishihara-kun means to give up reinforcements to Kyushu Island?" Wouldn't that be to give up millions of Yamato people throughout Kyushu? ”

"This is also a helpless move, the naval battle is over, the navy of the Chinese people, especially their submarine forces, is bound to be coming, and it may have arrived now, with their blockade of the strait, coupled with their air force and artillery superiority, it is almost difficult for us to land on Kyushu Island.

For now, the only way to do this was to immediately notify the 6th Division and the 18th Division to immediately stop the attack, quickly withdraw to Kurume and other places, and the troops were reduced to zero, relying on the millions of Yamato people on Kyushu Island, and persistently resisting the Shina until the last soldier!

We must not allow the people of China to easily capture the island of Kyushu, let alone allow the people of China to gain a foothold here, so that it can become an effective base for attacking and attacking our Honshu Island and other land! Ishihara sighed wistfully.

"We can't do this thing, I think it's better to report to the base camp immediately, please make a decision to the base camp." Itagaki Seishiro Road.

"It's necessary to generate electricity for the base camp, but the action can't really wait for the base camp to agree to start before starting, then everything will be too late." Ishihara said, "You can first inform the 18th Division and the 6th Division to prepare in advance." ”

"Yo Xi, that's it." Seishiro Itagaki nodded helplessly.
