The news of Hainan's victory had been circulating throughout the country a few days before Guzhuang Ganro had not arrived in Japan, but not many of the people who had lost confidence in the successive defeats of the Nationalist Army dared to believe it.

It was not until the defeated troops of the 21st Army landed at the wharf in Guangzhou, and everything that happened on the wharf was immediately discovered by the Chinese workers who were working on the wharf, and the news of the defeat of the 21st Army quickly spread in the city of Guangzhou.

It was at this time that the citizens of Guangzhou suddenly discovered that there were suddenly fewer Japanese soldiers making trouble on the streets, and there were no more Japanese soldiers who dared to shoot the people of Guangzhou at will.

What's more important is that after many merchants were forcibly pulled away by the Japanese soldiers, these Japanese soldiers even threw away a little money, although the money thrown away was far from enough for the losses they caused, but it was much better than taking what they saw before.

Also at this time, one morning, when the citizens of Guangzhou opened their homes, they found that the streets and alleys of Guangzhou were full of newspapers about the battle of Hainan.

Photographs of various war scenes in the newspapers clearly show that the legendary victory in Hainan a few days ago is true. Thinking of the situation in the past few days when the Japanese army has become extremely honest, the citizens of Guangzhou finally believed that the news of the great victory in Hainan was true.

Although everyone did not dare to celebrate in the streets, the neighbors still walked around each other, quickly conveying the joy of victory.

Soon, the whole country was vying to deliver the news of Hainan's great victory, looking at the newspapers about the tank units of the Hainan Army, and watching the rows of submarines parked at the Lingshui base. Then look at the huge fleet of Haikou Airport.

and the tragic appearance of the Japanese army on several battlefields in the Battle of Hainan. The people of the whole country feel that it has not been so happy for a long time. The leaders of the Red Army, who were far away in northern Shaanxi, were both happy and worried when they saw that the Hainan Guards had such a strong strength.

Happily, the stronger the Hainan Escort Army, the stronger it was to mark China's resistance to Japan. Because everyone knows that Li Tie and Wang Yaqiao, the leaders of the Hainan Guards, are out-and-out anti-Japanese elements.

As for why he was worried, it was because the victory of the Hainan Escort Army marked that Li Tie had embarked on the road of self-respect from now on, and at the same time, China had added a powerful warlord to its already chaotic state.

However, considering that Li Tie had always had a deep friendship with the Red Army, and at the same time Li Tie had always had positive patriotic feelings, the leadership of the Red Army generally believed that Li Tie was a patriotic warlord that could be won over.

At the same time, with his participation in the war, China's anti-Japanese form will be much better, because now everyone knows that Hainan has a strong army, not only the army, navy and air force are neat, but also all strong soldiers who can fight well.

When the news of Hainan's victory reached Chongqing, Commander Chiang, who was inspecting the US-aided flight group at the Chongqing airport, was shocked and then overjoyed.

"Is this true? The Hainan Escort Army actually defeated the Japanese 21 st Army, killing and wounding nearly 20,000 people, shooting down more than 100 enemy planes and more than 50 ships of various types.

Quickly, immediately generate electricity, electrify and commend the whole country, and let all the people know that under the wise leadership of our national government, the defense of Hainan has achieved a major victory.

This is the most symbolic victory for Hainan and for all of China, and he represents that our people are fully capable of defeating the Japanese. As long as the people of our country are sincere in the city, the day will soon come when a full-scale counterattack on Japan will come. ”

Commander Chiang delivered an impassioned speech at the airport, and the government dignitaries, military and political bigwigs, and foreign friends present gave Commander Chiang warm applause.

However, after Commander Chiang finished speaking these encouraging words, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Okay, you Li Tie, it turns out that you and Wang Yaqiao are hiding so deeply. A small Hainan has tens of thousands of horses and hundreds of aircraft, and the whole Hainan makes the two of you operate like an iron bucket.

If it weren't for the Japanese attack on Hainan this time, I wouldn't have known that you would have hidden so many soldiers and horses in private. Hundreds of planes, dozens of submarines, even tanks and armored units, what are you trying to do? Is it just for self-preservation? Don't you mean to win the Central Plains?

It seems that I have to guard against the Hainan Guards, Li Tie and Wang Yaqiao are rich and can fight, and these two guys are really tossing some tricks together.

But don't think that if you defeat the Japanese, you will be fine, the Japanese 21st Army has more than 70,000 people, and the Japanese army in the entire south has more than 300,000 people.

If the Japanese attack Hainan with all their might, Hainan will definitely not be able to hold it, if Li Tie and Wang Yaqiao can't hold it, the two of them will get on the plane and run away, and they will be at ease wherever they go, and a large piece of family business in Hainan will be cheaper for the Japanese.

No, I can't let the Japanese take all the cheap, and when I go back, I will tell Dai Li, let him go to Hainan, and secretly contact the generals of the Hainan Guards in the name of condolences, I don't believe that under the pull of money and status, the generals of the Hainan Guards will not be tempted.

So a few days later, Dai Li, with Commander Chiang's secret order, prepared to sneak into Hainan quietly.

While Commander Jiang was still thinking about how to pull Li Tie's hind legs, Commander Guzhuang Ganlang was already sitting in the emperor's palace.

At this time, in the meeting room of the Imperial Palace, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, the new Prime Minister Hiranuma Kiichiro, who had just been in office for a month, as well as the Minister of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and several important military and political officials in Japan were sitting together, and everyone was listening to the report of Lieutenant General Furujo Michiro.

Lieutenant General Michiro Furujo had already arrived in Tokyo two days ago, and after listening to Michiro Furujo's report, the Japanese military headquarters held that the current situation was very unfavorable to Japan and that it was necessary to hold a military meeting of the supreme leaders. That's why all of Japan's top officials are gathered together today.

Although Guzhuang Ganlang is the commander-in-chief of the 21st Army, his actual military rank is only that of a lieutenant general. Guzhuang Ganlang can't find any sense of superiority in front of the big guys.

Although he was old, he still had to bend over and patiently report the details of the battle of Hainan to the officials present.

After listening to the strength shown by Li Tie in the Battle of Hainan again, all the bigwigs present were silent. Guzhuang Ganlang didn't understand, could he be so thoughtful about dealing with a small Hainan?

Thinking that he should take the initiative to share the worries of the empire, he made a request for the emperor's approval of the plan to increase the number of troops in Guangzhou again, and he would personally lead a large army to sweep away Hainan and restore the reputation of the empire as invincible.

However, when Lieutenant General Furujo Michiro delivered his impassioned speech, he found that the atmosphere in the meeting room was very strange, and he saw that the expressions of both Emperor Hirohito and the new Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma were very intriguing. Even the dignitaries present had different expressions.

Just when Furujo was stunned and at a loss, Emperor Hirohito motioned to the head of the Japanese intelligence department next to him to get up and speak.

The intelligence director stood up helplessly and said apologetically: "General Guzhuang Ganlang, I'm afraid your request will not be fulfilled for a while. ”

"Why?" Guzhuang Ganlang asked strangely.

The intelligence director straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "According to the information sent back by Nanzao Yunzi, the head of the intelligence department of South China.

Today, Hainan has at least 50,000 well-trained regular armies, and these regular armies include most of the 19th Route Army, which was claimed to be the most powerful in the former Republic of China, and several units that repeatedly inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army in Shanghai and Nanjing.

At the same time, Hainan's air force is also very strong, they have at least five hundred fighters and more than a hundred bombers, as for the number of pilots is not clear.

However, in the past few years, Huaxing has been actively carrying out flight teaching in Shanghai, Chongqing, Hong Kong and other places. As their base camp, Hainan believes that there must be a large number of pilots, and it is conservatively estimated that Hainan has at least 2,000 skilled pilots.

Moreover, Hainan also has a certain number of tanks and armored troops, although the number is unknown, but the soldiers of the 104th Division who escaped from Sanya Beach learned that they encountered at least 100 tanks and armored vehicles on Sanya Beach alone.

According to this analysis, the number of tanks and armored vehicles in the whole of Hainan is no less than 200, plus the air defense positions that are now scattered all around Hainan. It will be very difficult for our aircraft to have air superiority, unless we send more than 1,000 fighters into battle at a time. ”

"What are you kidding, you need a thousand planes to deal with a small Hainan? How many planes are there in our empire? Lieutenant General Kojo Ganro was surprised.

"That's very correct, but please pay attention to my wording, I just said that it is possible to achieve the desired effect, not necessarily to achieve the desired effect, you know, we know that more than 500 planes have appeared in the battle of Hainan a few days ago, and we dare not guarantee that those 500 planes are all the planes in Hainan.

In addition, Hainan is full of air defense positions, and we suffer a lot from fighting in the skies over Hainan, but Hainan is only so big, they are surrounded by the sea, and they are not in a strategic place far away from it, so their planes will not fly out of Hainan to fight a decisive battle with us on the sea.

And there is an even more headache for the empire, which is that Hainan has an unknown number of navies, mind you, I am talking about the navy, not the submarine force.

With the special geographical environment of Hainan surrounded by the sea and surrounded by mountain peaks, we believe that the Hainan Escort Force has at least four or more secret naval bases around Hainan.

Because after the analysis of geographers, the geographical environment around the two photos of submarine bases published in Hainan newspapers is obviously from two places, which means that Hainan has at least two submarine bases.

In addition, a few years ago, Huaxing Company purchased small warships from Britain, France and other countries, as well as several large warships that were hijacked in Hong Kong a few years ago.

Our conservative estimate is that Hainan has at least ten or more large surface ships, plus a large number of submarines imported from Germany.

We believe that the strength of Hainan's navy is no less than that of a complete aircraft carrier fleet, and given that Hainan's navy is only on defense and is under the protection of Hainan's air force and land-based troops, it is impossible to defeat the Hainan navy without two or more task force formations attacking at the same time.

If you want to defeat Hainan, you must first defeat its navy, and if you want to defeat its navy, you must first defeat its air force, and data from all sides show that Japan does not have the strength to defeat Hainan Air Force in a short period of time. Unless their air force can leave the old ground and take the initiative. So we came to the conclusion that there could be no more war with the Hainan Guards. ”

"Even if Hainan has such a strong strength, what about it? Don't we want the reputation of the invincibility of the Imperial Japanese Army? Has the blood of tens of thousands of our soldiers been shed in vain? "Lieutenant General Guzhuang Ganlang was a little breathless, he came back to Japan to move the troops, not to report the funeral.

"Who said we won't attack Hainan anymore, just that it's not now?" The intelligence director said.

"When was that?" Guzhuang Ganlang asked.

"Half a year at the fastest, a year at the latest." It was the new Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma who said this.
