The General Headquarters of the Japanese Army on Okinawa Island looked at the commander of the Air Force who stood in front of him without saying a word, and as the supreme commander of the elite 100,000 Japanese troops on Okinawa Island, he had an urge to shoot him directly.

The fleet of 350 bombers and fighters not only did not hurt the Chinese expeditionary fleet, but was completely lost and annihilated. In his eyes, this was simply unthinkable. It should be clear that these three air divisions are the only remaining air force in the entire island of Okinawa. And now, it's all gone......

The commander, who was panting with anger, slowly calmed down his nervous mood and asked, "Where is the Chinese expeditionary force fleet now?" ”

"It has already broken away from the combat radius of our Okinawa air force...."The air force commander, who had personally buried three entire air divisions, replied with a weak face after wiping the beads of sweat that appeared on his forehead.

"Even if we do not leave the combat radius of the aviation, we do not have the aviation to continue the offensive ....", the commander said with a dissatisfied face.

Immediately, no matter how nervous the air force commander in front of him was, he ordered directly to the chief of staff in front of him: "Chief of staff, immediately telegraph to Your Excellency the Prime Minister that our defenders of Okinawa Island have lost the battle and have failed to complete their mission... The Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet directly bypassed our garrison on Okinawa Island and advanced at full speed toward the mainland, and the specific target of the attack is unknown....In addition, the losses of our air force units will be reported to His Excellency the Prime Minister, and His Excellency the Prime Minister will be asked to make a final ruling...."

"Hayi. Your Excellency, Commander...", faced because of anger. The commander, who could break out at any time, as the chief of staff of the adjutant, hastened to answer.

Looking at the chief of staff who was about to leave in front of him, the commander who was in deep thought suddenly changed his face, as if he had thought of something. Hurriedly called back the chief of staff who was about to leave: "Chief of staff, wait a minute..."

Looking at the chief of staff with a puzzled look in front of him, the commander spoke directly.

"The Chinese Expeditionary Force bypassed the heavily defended island of Okinawa and attacked directly on the imperial mainland. And in order to deal a fatal blow to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, His Excellency the Prime Minister has gathered almost one-third of the country's elite here..."

At this point, one of the commander's faces turned pale in an instant. After thinking about it, he directly ordered: "Order the 78th Division to assemble at the port immediately....At the same time, prepare sea ships." Gather all the ships on the island, and as soon as the landing point of the Chinese expeditionary force is confirmed, we will immediately set out to return to the mainland..."

"Hayi..."

Since the two main divisions left for the interior to suppress bandits, the peaceful streets of Tokyo have once again been filled with all kinds of terror. Even the well-equipped Guards Division directly replaced the police force in the city for patrols, and the sporadic gunshots and grenade explosions also rang out from time to time on the streets of Tokyo, which extended in all directions, constantly increasing the tension in the city....

Headquarters of the Japanese General Staff. The same is shrouded in this tense atmosphere. Especially after the Chinese expeditionary force fleet entered the combat radius of the Japanese air force on the island of Okinawa. Everyone's faces showed a solemn look.

In the face of this big war related to the fate of Japan, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, who has already commanded the military and political power of Japan, has been staying in the war room of the staff headquarters, pacing back and forth, waiting for the final result...

Hideki Tojo raised his head again and looked anxiously at the telecommunications room. The deputy chief of staff, with a solemn expression, walked out quickly, and after thinking about it, he said helplessly: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister." The Air Force interception failed...."

"What... Failed... How is it possible, those are the three most advanced aviation divisions in the Empire...."Hideki Tojo, who was like a thunderbolt from the sky, asked rhetorically with a shocked face, and his words were full of suspicion...

After quickly reading the telegram handed over by the chief of staff, Hideki Tojo had doubts on his face. It was replaced by shock in an instant. However, since becoming prime minister. This failure was no surprise to him. It only lasted less than ten seconds, and the nervous heart slowly calmed down. Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he asked in a deep voice. ..., "Chief of Staff, in the entire country, how many fighters can we at most draw out to meet the enemy...."

After less than five seconds of thought, a simple and clear data came out of the mouth of the deputy chief of staff: "Two aviation divisions, this is the limit of using all strategic reserves ..."

"The three air divisions on Okinawa Island can't help the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet, let alone two divisions..." After a short period of contemplation, as if he had made a difficult decision, Hideki Tojo continued: "These two air divisions, as the last bit of air force we can rely on, must not continue to fall into the tiger's mouth..."

Hideki Tojo's reason, although the deputy chief of staff agreed. However, when I think of the mighty Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet, my scalp is a burst of hair. He directly opened his mouth and asked rhetorically: "However, Your Excellency, if the air force of these two divisions is not used, the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet can enter the coastal waters of the empire without hindrance and launch a landing campaign..."

The deputy chief of staff was worried, and Hideki Tojo nodded whether the arrangement was acceptable. However, at this time, Hideki Tojo, facing this critical juncture of life and death in Japan, has already considered the question of whether to use the last killer weapon of the Japanese government.

One minute, two minutes, the deputy chief of staff looked anxiously waiting for the Prime Minister's response. A look of determination finally flashed on Hideki Tojo's face. Speak directly.

"Use kamikaze...."

"Although the fighters equipped by the kamikaze drones are already lagging behind, they are superior in numbers..."

"In the face of a steady stream of suicidal attacks, I believe that even if the Chinese fleet is equipped with more anti-aircraft artillery, it will not be able to stop the attack of the imperial warriors...."

"In addition, while kamikaze drones attack from the sky, coastal gunboats, torpedo boats, can also take advantage of the situation to launch suicide attacks from the sea ...."

Looking at Hideki Tojo with a murderous face in front of him, the deputy chief of staff immediately felt a trace of chill and fear in his heart. To be clear, once this order is given, it means that the empire will lose more than 3,000 pilots as a result.

However, as Hideki Tojo said before, as long as this Japanese government can be saved, the final victory in the Pacific theater will be achieved. The enormous benefits that the empire can obtain are definitely not comparable to these thousands of pilots and thousands of old fighters that have been decommissioned.

Thinking of this, the deputy chief of staff, who was still holding a trace of unbearable resistance just now, immediately showed a firm look, and replied very affirmatively: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is wise, in order to defeat the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet, even if you pay a big price, you will not hesitate..."

"Yo Xi, order all airports along the coast to immediately refuel all fighters, and once the landing point of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is determined, all kamikaze fighters will immediately assemble at the nearest airport..." With the affirmation of the deputy chief of staff, the confidence on Tojo's face was even stronger. Facing the deputy chief of staff in front of him, he continued to order.

"Inform all radar stations along the coast, from now on, to a state of combat readiness of the first level. As soon as the traces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet are discovered, they will be reported immediately..."

Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, who has a sufficient understanding of the temperament of the Japanese in later generations, knows very well that although the air defense battle a few hours ago was won, there is still a long way to go before he actually lands on the Japanese mainland.

"Commander-in-chief, are you saying that our formations will also be attacked by the Japanese air force and even the naval forces?" Zuo Quan asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression.

According to pre-war intelligence, Japan's air force was almost completely wiped out in the East China Sea. In terms of the navy, not to mention....Japan's only offshore fleet, after suffering two consecutive defeats on the Chinese battlefield, could not even take out a light cruiser, how could it be able to stop its huge naval formation with a full four cruisers. …,

"Commander-in-Chief, I also promise on the naval side. As long as the remnants of the Japanese coastal fleet come to send them to their deaths, I will definitely let them come and go...."Chen Shaokuan followed closely behind, confidently assured.

"That's what you all think?" Liu Hua asked with a solemn face.

After getting everyone's confirmation, Liu Hua said directly: "What any of you said is not wrong, the remaining air force and navy in Japan are indeed not our opponents. However, you have all forgotten that the Japanese army has a very powerful killer weapon."

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, Liu Hua continued to speak: "You are also very familiar with this killer feature, that is, the 'suicide attack' that we can often see on their army...."

"Suicide attacks..."

In an instant, the two people, who were still full of confidence just now, immediately showed worried looks.

Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, the first thing that came to mind was what kind of picture would appear in the face of the 'suicide attack' of the Japanese Air Force once his fleet entered the coastal waters of Japan....

Hundreds of Japanese fighters, like shells with eyes, smashed at their own fleet....And their own formation, although they have countless anti-aircraft artillery, but they are also overwhelmed by the raindrops of 'shells'....Once these 'shells' are allowed to hit their targets, these ships full of soldiers will pay a heavy price.

Thinking of this, a trace of fear and fear instantly rose from the bottom of Zuo Quan's heart. With a worried face, he said: "If the Japanese government's killer weapon is really a 'suicide attack'." Then our expeditionary force formation will face a new catastrophe...."

"It's indeed an unprecedented catastrophe...."Liu Hua nodded noncommittally. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
