After Ouyang Jian saw off Lao Jiang in Fuzhou, he then sent off his wife Mei Fang (who went to Shanghai to settle down). Then Ouyang Jian, Gong Nan and the guards boarded the special plane, and no one knew where he went. About an hour later, the plane landed at Guangzhou Airport. There were only two people on the tarmac to greet them, one of them was Xue Yue, commander of the 5th Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, and the other was Li Dabao, captain of the Eighth Route Army's naval special operations brigade. The two sides did not have any extra greetings when they met, and went directly to the camp of Li Dabao's headquarters -- a temporary military camp on the south side of the airport.

The temporary military camp was set up as a military tent, and Ouyang Jian, Xue Yue, and Li Dabao walked into a tent. There were two high-power radios in the tent, and several radio operators hurriedly stood up and saluted when they saw the chief. "General Ouyang, after receiving the president's order, I personally selected the telegraph operator and placed the headquarters here, and no one knew that this plan included my subordinates." Ouyang Jian nodded and motioned for the operator to continue working.

Before going from Chongqing to Fuzhou for inspection, Ouyang Jian thought twice and decided to tell Lao Jiang about the plan to hunt Japanese warships and tell Lao Jiang. As for telling Lao Chiang about this plan, the reason was that Lao Chiang told the US military that he would send warships to help recover Hainan Island, and how to successfully implement the plan to hunt Japanese warships must be fully supported by Lao Chiang. Lao Jiang naturally had an unshirkable responsibility when he heard this. He telegraphed Xue Yue to personally assist in the implementation of this plan, and strictly ordered not to leak secrets.

After the victory in the Battle of Taiwan, the Japanese army in Nanyang was completely cut off from the Japanese mainland. In response to this critical situation, the Japanese army headquarters ordered the Japanese troops in Hanoi to retreat to the Malay Peninsula and be sure to hold the key points in the Strait of Malacca to cooperate with the decisive battle on the mainland. Since the entire South China Sea was still under the control of the Japanese navy, the Japanese base camp did not order the Japanese troops on Hainan Island to retreat. In order to prevent air bombing strikes by Chinese and US fighters, all Japanese naval warships located on Hainan Island were withdrawn to the Manila military port in the Philippines.

The most important part of this plan was to reveal to the Japanese the news that the U.S. military had sent warships to support Xue Yue's corps in recovering Hainan Island. At present, the Japanese army on Hainan Island has only one mixed brigade, with a total strength of about 6,000 people. Judging from the strength of the Japanese army on Hainan Island, if the Japanese army learned that the US military had sent warships to support the Chinese army in recovering Hainan Island, it would definitely choose to flee, because one brigade of Japanese troops was not enough to hold Hainan Island. According to intelligence, the Japanese army had 18 warships in the Manila military port in the Philippines, including two battleships, 8 destroyers, 4 frigates, and 4 gunboats.

If the Japanese army gets this information, it will definitely send a fleet to cover the Japanese army on Hainan Island and retreat to the Philippines. For this reason, Lao Chiang arranged for Dai Li, through the intelligence system, to deliberately disclose the battle plan for the recovery of Hainan Island to the Japanese. At present, Hainan Island has lost its strategic value, and there is only one Japanese brigade, which is enough to show that the Japanese army has long had the idea of abandoning Hainan Island. Ouyang Jian hurried to the Guangzhou airport because he deciphered the Japanese army's radio communications and confirmed that the Japanese army had dispatched a fleet from the Manila military port to Hainan Island. There is no doubt that this fleet was 100 percent covering the retreat of the Japanese troops on Hainan Island.

Due to the Chinese fighters located at the Guangzhou airport, the Japanese troops on Hainan Island were often bombed. The Japanese army had already lost air superiority, and the Japanese fleet was in danger of being attacked at any time when it went to Hainan Island, and it was self-evident what they were going to do. "General Ouyang, according to the deciphering of the Japanese radio, the Japanese fleet arrived in Sanya, Hainan Island, at dusk on the 23rd, which is tomorrow evening. According to the intelligence, the Japanese troops in Haikou had retreated to the south one after another, so it can be confirmed that the Japanese fleet came to cover the retreat. ”

Xue Yue continued: "The military intelligence personnel are already in place in Sanya, and once they find out that the Japanese fleet has arrived, they will report the situation back as soon as possible." "General Xue, I am very satisfied with your careful and efficient deployment." General Ouyang, when I heard the good news of the completion of the aircraft carrier fleet, my heart was very excited, and it was my duty to contribute to the strengthening of China's fleet. "Our aircraft carrier warships, in urgent need of escort warships, there is no way to be the only shortcut at the moment. The fighting in the north was in full swing, and the Japanese army would never have thought that our invisible hand would reach to the south. Surprise and attack unprepared, in order to achieve a win. After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, his eyes turned to Li Dabao.

The Japanese fleet consisted of one battleship, three destroyers, three gunboats, one tanker, five transports, and four freighters, and the fleet commander was Ichiro Ozawa. The Japanese base camp received the news that the Chinese army wanted to recover Hainan Island, believing that Hainan Island had lost the value of continuing to occupy it, so it sent a telegram to Yamashita Fengwen, commander of the Nanyang Front, to withdraw the Japanese troops from Hainan Island and strengthen the defense of the Philippines. After Yamashita Fumimi led his troops to withdraw from Taiwan, he was appointed commander of the Nanyang Front by the Japanese army headquarters. The purpose of this move by the Japanese base camp was to strengthen the defense of the Malay Peninsula and the Philippines, two strategic priorities in the South Seas.

Taiwan was recovered, and the Japanese army base camp did not predict it at all in advance. The maritime defense circle was torn open, disrupting the military deployment of the Japanese army, and it had to change its strategy and prepare for a decisive battle on the ground in advance. For this reason, the Japanese base camp decided to concentrate its forces and stick to the two strategic points of the Malay Peninsula and the Philippines, so as to curb the Allied forces to the maximum extent and reduce the pressure on the decisive battle at home.

In order to preserve its strength, it was imperative for the Japanese army to abandon Hainan Island. A touch of sunset hangs on the sea on the west side, and slowly sinks into the sea, ten thousand golden rays, sprinkled on the blue waves, like a layer of brilliant gold leaf, the scenery is very beautiful. A fleet appeared at the Sanya military port. The berths at the Sanya Military Port are not large, and only two ships of about 3,300 tons can be berthed at a time. From a distance, the goods on the wharf of the military port were piled up, and the Japanese army not only had to withdraw its troops, but also swept away all kinds of military supplies.

A fleet appeared on the sea, and on the bridge of the battleship Nagato, Ichiro Ozawa, the commander of the fleet, looked in the direction of the dock with a telescope, and dictated the order: "Order the destroyer and gunboat to enter the alert position, and order the transport ship and cargo ship to dock together." Send a report to the commander of the 137 Brigade and report the situation as soon as possible! "An officer was ordered to leave, and when it was almost dark, a telegram came from the headquarters of the 137th Brigade on the shore saying that the last retreating troops from the north would arrive at about midnight.

When the Japanese fleet arrived at the Sanya Military Port, the agents of the military command who were ambushed on the coastline immediately used the radio to transmit the information back.

The Japanese army listened to the radio and found the radio signal as soon as possible. However, the Japanese army was not worried, they knew in their hearts that the Chinese fighters deployed at the Guangzhou airport did not have the ability to bomb at night, so the Japanese army had plenty of time to retreat calmly. As early as two months ago, the Japanese army had delivered military supplies including food to the Sanya Military Port, but this time it only withdrew the Japanese soldiers from the north to the south, so the retreat was orderly and there was no panic at all.

At dusk, at Guangzhou Airport, 4 transport planes were on standby on the side of the runway, and the roar of the plane's propellers was deafening. The 300 special operations soldiers of the Eighth Route Army's Navy Special Operations Brigade lined up and waited, and the soldiers were all in black tight-fitting swimsuits and swimming caps, showing the characteristics of fighting in the sea. This time, except for a 30-man sniper squad equipped with sniper rifles, the rest of the soldiers of the navy's special operations group were all equipped with special weapons -- submachine guns. This submachine gun is specially tailored for the naval special operations group, and it has no butt, and it looks very much like a German submachine gun at a cold glance. The straight magazine has a load of 32 rounds, and the barrel is slightly shorter than that of the German-made MP40 submachine gun, with an effective range of 150 meters. The grab is equipped with a silencer and has an effective range of about 110 meters. In addition, each special operator is equipped with a pistol with a silencer, a multi-purpose dagger, and four grenades.

At this time, Ouyang Jian walked up to Li Dabao and said, "Your goal is clear!" "Report to the Chief of the General Staff, it's clear!" "Remember, don't be too greedy, or I'll ask you!" "Please rest assured that the Chief of the General Staff will complete the task!" "Good! Let's go! I await good news from you! "Get on board!" Li Dabao ordered loudly, and the team members boarded the four transport planes in order. Soon, the transport plane soared into the sky and disappeared into the night to the south.
