Just as Mitsutomi Kamio was sitting there expressing his contempt for the Wehrmacht, an army officer suddenly walked in from outside and said to Mitsutomi Kamio and Yuzaburo Kato.

"Lieutenant General Kamio, Lieutenant General Kato..."

Looking at the embarrassed look on this officer's face, Yuzaburo Kato asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"This..."

Glancing at Kamio Mitsutomi, the officer was a little stumped.

Looking at the appearance of the officer, Mitsutomi Kamio, who was already a little unhappy because of Yuzaburo Kato, suddenly said angrily.

"What the hell is going on, hurry up!"

"Yes!" The Army officer replied loudly with his legs together. "After searching, it was found that there were less than 1,000 people in the city, including the old and weak, women and children, and I am afraid that they would not be able to muster the mules, horses, and strong men needed by the imperial army..."

Hearing the officer say this, Mitsutomi Kamio and Yuzaburo Kato both frowned.

Although there are almost 50,000 people in the expeditionary force sent to China this time, most of them are combat troops, and not many are responsible for baggage...

In addition, it is not fighting at home now, so both materials and labor need to be collected on the spot. Now, if we can't collect enough supplies in Huang County, it may cause some obstacles to the subsequent operations of the Yue army.

Thinking of this, Kamio Mitsutomi said in a deep voice to the officer.

"The people of China have just opened up Longkou as a new commercial port, how can you not find anyone?!"

Whether it is the information collected by the military first, or the opinion of Kamio Mitsutomi on the commercial port, a place like Longkou should be quite prosperous, at least it should be a very lively place. In addition, China has always been known for its large number of people, and a county town that has just opened up a commercial port has less than 1,000 people? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't conform to Kamio Mitsutomi's perception of the commercial port.

However, after listening to Kamio Mitsutomi's words, the army officer just smiled bitterly.

"The Humble Officials have already sent people to inquire about the people of China, and they say that they have been evacuated with the help of the Chinese army before the Imperial Army is dispatched. It's just because they don't believe what the Imperial Army will do to them after landing, so they sneaked back after being evacuated by the Chinese army..."

"Stupid Shina man." Kamio Mitsumi snorted coldly.

However, the army officer asked cautiously.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, since those people have already said so, do we still want to ......... Now there are less than 1,000 people in the county, and less than 300 of them can serve the imperial army..."

However, Shenwei Guan Chen shook his head and said.

"Even if there are 300 people, they can still serve the Imperial Army." As he spoke, Kamio Mitsutomi glanced at him. "Why, you're soft on those branches?"

Thinking of the pitiful appearance of those people, the officer hesitated for a moment, but then shook his head.

"Of course the lower officials won't..."

"That's good."

Kamio Mitsutomi nodded with satisfaction, his subordinates didn't need the kind of guy who would be soft on the Zhina's heart.

"In a moment, you will go and tell the people that the Imperial Army needs them to deliver supplies and ammunition for the Imperial Army, and ......... I want them to hand over all the food, and if they dare to disobey, the whole family will not leave a single one..."

Hearing Kamio Mitsutomi's words, the officer was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.

"Xia Guan understands."

After the officer left, Yuzaburo Kato also stood up.

"Since I don't need me here anymore, I'll retire first."

Kamio Mitsutomi waved his hand indifferently.

"It's good to go, don't send it."

Although Kamio Mitsutomi's attitude was quite bad, Kato Yuzaburo was not surprised, and after waving his hand, he walked out with a few admirals.

Not long after, the naval soldiers who had helped the army maintain order also returned to the ship one by one in small boats.

However, at this very moment, a group of reconnaissance planes suddenly flew over the Yue army, circled for a while over the port of Huangxian County, which had been occupied by the Yue army, and observed the situation of the Syrian army below, and the pilots on the plane suddenly threw grenades down one by one...

It can be seen that before departure, the pilots had loaded their planes with enough "cluster grenades", because the pilots had not finished throwing them for five or six minutes.

These "cluster grenades" also turned the people stranded in the harbor on their backs, and many Japanese soldiers began to find a place to hide under the air raids. It's just a huge port, but there aren't many places for them to hide, and in the end, they have no choice but to jump into the sea...

Fortunately, it was originally an island country, and most of the islanders in the island country were naturally familiar with the surname Shui, so after hiding in the water, they could be regarded as escaping.

After being bombed for a while, the troops in the port also reacted, mounted the Hatch Kais machine guns one by one, and then fired back at the reconnaissance plane formation that was still flying in the sky.

It's just that at this time, the pilots of the air force seem to have thrown it almost away, so the army has just racked up the machine guns, and those pilots in the sky have begun to return home.

"Bastard!! Bastard!!! ”

Looking at the formation of reconnaissance planes that were heading away, the soldiers who had just climbed up from the water jumped straight to their feet one by one, but...

Watching the guys in the army being blown up by the Chinese's "cluster grenades", those navy stranded on warships and boats laughed happily one by one.

"Look at the embarrassment of that horse manure, hahahaha."

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the army who climbed up from the water, the officers and men of the navy all looked happy. When some of the officers on the ship saw the appearance of their subordinates, instead of stopping them, they also laughed together.

When the reconnaissance plane flew by in formation, although a lot of "cluster grenades" were dropped, all these "cluster grenades" were used to patronize the Japanese troops in the harbor. On the contrary, the fleet docked not far from the harbor was not disturbed by a single plane, which also allowed the people of the navy to gloat on the ship without worry.

Moreover, just by looking at the appearance of the navy, one can see how big the contradiction between the navy and the army is.

In fact, in almost every country, the army and navy have all kinds of contradictions, and in the next ten years, there will be an air force.

However, it is extremely rare for the army and navy to want each other to die.

The schadenfreude of the navy on the warship was naturally seen clearly by the army in the harbor. So the army on the port and the navy on the warship quickly exchanged curses.

It's just that when the army and navy were scolding each other, Yuzaburo Kato, who was still on the dinghy and was heading towards the flagship "Hanoi," looked at the departing reconnaissance plane formation, but a hint of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Strange, why do you always feel that something is wrong?"

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Yuzaburo Kato didn't figure out what was wrong.

At this time, looking at the officers and men of the army and navy who were still scolding each other, Yuzaburo Kato, who boarded the "Hanoi", said with a calm face.

"The big war is coming, but there is infighting among my own people, what kind of system is this, go, tell them to stop."

"Yes!"

Hearing Yuzaburo Kato's order, the officer who accompanied him said with some reluctance.

Soon, the situation of the army and navy scolding each other ended under the orders of Yuzaburo Kato.

Just after the chaos gradually subsided, Vice Admiral Kato Dingyoshi on the battleship "Zhou Fang" also came over.

"Kato-kun, why is your face so ugly?"

As he spoke, Kato Dingyoshi looked at the chaos that had calmed down.

"Could it be that what just happened made you angry? Actually, there's nothing to be angry about, and the conflict between us and those horse manure is not a day or two, and what happened just now is actually normal..."

However, after listening to Kato Dingyoshi's words, Yuzaburo Kato shook his head.

"I'm not angry about what happened just now, it's just that the Chinese plane just now, I don't know why I have a bad premonition..."

"So—" Kato pondered for a moment. Actually, I also felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong..."

While the two Kato were discussing there, Mitsutomi Kamio on the shore was also furious with his subordinates.

“……… You bastards, the way you just look is a shame on the Army!! ”

Obviously, the scene of the army in the port just now, Kamio Mitsutomi has seen it clearly.

And looking at the thunderous Kamio Mitsutomi, the army generals standing below didn't even dare to say a word.

After a long while, when Kamio Mitsutomi's anger seemed to have almost disappeared, the commander of the 13th Division on the side, Akiyama Yoshiko, spoke.

"Alright, Kamio-kun, let's stop getting angry with them, let's talk about the war against the Shina people first..."

With that, Akiyama Yoshiko patted Kamio Mitsutomi on the shoulder and pressed him back into his seat.

Seeing that Akiyama Yoshiko didn't seem to be losing his temper anymore, the army generals below were also relieved.

After pressing Kamio Mitsutomi back, Akiyama Yoshiko glanced at the generals below.

“……… What are our losses in the attack of the China? ”

Although some countries have already begun to put their planes into actual combat, it is clear that Akiyama Yoshiko does not know what an air raid is, so he has to describe the scene that has just happened as an "attack".

By the way, the common name of the 13th Division is "Mirror".

The common name of the 18th Division is "chrysanthemum", the "chrysanthemum" of chrysanthemum.

After hearing Akiyama's question, the generals below glanced at each other and hurriedly replied.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, in the attack of the Gangzhina people, we probably lost more than 200 people..."

"That's right, there are almost more than 60 of them who died, and the remaining minor and serious injuries have not yet been counted."

"That's all?"

Akiyama Kokochi frowned.

"I remember when I was watching from the sidelines, it seemed to be chaotic over there..."

"It's really chaotic over there, but as long as the casualties were caused by the lack of timely reaction of the soldiers below at the beginning of the attack, and the soldiers reacted afterwards, the attack of the Shina people did not cause many casualties..." Moreover, the weapon that the Shina man threw down seemed to be a grenade bundled together, so it seemed to be very powerful, but in fact it was not very lethal. ”

"That's right, except for a few soldiers who were too close, the rest were basically unharmed."

"That's it..."Akiyama nodded. Let's go down and put your troops in order. ”

"Yes!"

After all the lower-level generals had withdrawn, Akiyama Yoshiko sat next to Mitsutomi Kamio.

"What? Still angry about what just happened?! ”

"Hmph." Mitsutomi Kamio slapped the table heavily. "Look at the arrogant look of those guys in the Navy just now."

That's right, Kamio Mitsutomi is actually not angry at the performance of his subordinates in the attack just now, because this is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing. If he had been in the harbor at the time, he wondered if he would have been any better than his men.

So what he was angry about was just the schadenfreude of those people in the navy just now.

However, listening to them, Akiyama sighed.

"Forget it, the contradiction between us and the Navy is not a matter of a day or two, what are you doing so angry..."

As he spoke, Akiyama took out a map of the Shandong Peninsula.

"Come, let's talk about deployment first."

Although Kamio Mitsutomi was still very angry in his heart, he still leaned his head over when he saw Akiyama Yoshiko take out the map.

"At present, the closest Chinese army to our army is in Laiyang, according to the information provided by the Black Dragon Society, there are at least two infantry divisions in Laiyang, two infantry divisions in Jinan, one in Weifang, and three in Qingdao..."

"Laiyang... Weifang..."

Mitsutomi Kamio's fingers slid across the paper of the map, and it was only after a half-sound that he turned to the Akiyama Kokodo.

"Which do you think we should hit first?"

Akiyama thought about it.

"It is impossible to go to Weihaiwei, because it is the territory of the British, and those cowards in the political axe will never allow us to offend the British. Other places are also unlikely due to distance and logistical constraints, so it's better to hit Laiyang first..."Akiyama Yoshiko said and pointed to the location of Laiyang on the map. "Although there are two infantry divisions of the Zhina people there, they are the closest to us, and if we attack Weifang, if we can't quickly defeat the defenders of Weifang, it will easily fall into the three-sided attack of the Zhina army in Jinan, Laiyang and Qingdao..."

"Laiyang..."

Kamio Mitsutomi nodded.

"That's right, it's really better to hit Laiyang first."

In fact, Kamio Mitsutomi and they also thought about defending it first, but after all, it is enemy territory under their feet, and the enemy will only fight more and more, if they just passively defend, they are likely to be pushed into the sea by the swarming enemy army.

On the other hand, although the expeditionary force consisted of only two divisions and one brigade, it was almost equivalent to four infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht. Coupled with the self-confidence of Mitsutomi Kamio and others in their own army and their contempt for the Wehrmacht, they didn't think there would be any problem in attacking the Wehrmacht.

At this time, after the turmoil just now, the army in the port has also restored order.

Treat the wounded when they should treat the wounded, and extinguish the fire when they should put out the fire.

Merely...

After such a humiliating incident just now, the Yue army in the port vented the anger in his chest on the people of Longkou. Soon the people who were stranded in Longkou suffered, and two families were stabbed to death in the street with bayonets by soldiers of the Yue army because they hesitated in the process of being recruited...

For a time, the county town was full of crying...

――――――――――

Although Mitsutomi Kamio and Yoshiko Akiyama had already chosen Laiyang as their target, they still gathered their staff officers together and asked for their opinions.

At this time, Cai Yi, who was still in Jinan, while personally leading an infantry division to Laiyang, also ordered the garrison in Qingdao to send a division to Laiyang.

Cai Ye has already made a judgment that the first target of the Yue army is likely to be Laiyang.

Of course, it would be better if the choice of the Yue army was to stay in Longkou and wait for follow-up reinforcements. Because in this way, Cai Ye could calmly mobilize troops from the Nanjing Military Region and the Yanjing Military Region, and then use superior forces to drive the Yue army from Longkou to the sea in one fell swoop.

Of course, this possible surname is too small, so Cai Ye thinks it is better to take the initiative himself.

First, Cai Ye has not a lot of troops in his hands, even if the necessary remaining troops in Qingdao, Jinan and other places are excluded, Cai Ye can almost have more than 50,000 people in his hands.

What's more, Jinan and other places, you can also consider leaving a brigade and a half brigade as appropriate...

Second, the troops in Cai Yi's hands at the moment are the kind that can be fought in the national defense force, and they also have a great advantage over the army in terms of equipment. Although Cai Ye did not fight with the Yue army in the past, Cai Ye once studied in Yue Ben and knew more about the military of Yue Ben.

So if you fight head-to-head, Cai Ye is confident that even if he can't win, at least he won't lose.

"The only thing to worry about now is my expeditionary fleet..."

Cai was proficient in land warfare and had little research on naval warfare. What's more, the gap between the navies of the two countries is too big, and even if Cai Ye is a famous admiral, there is no way to do this.

But just when Cai Ye was thinking hard there, Xu Tianchuan on the side said.

"Brother Songpa, I said that my fleet will be handed over to my subordinates to deal with."

"Oh? Brother Xu, do you have a way? ”

"Method..."Xu Tianchuan smiled bitterly. What can I do, it's just to try the method that the president said at the beginning and it doesn't work..."Saying that, Xu Tianchuan looked at Cai Ye with a straight face. "Please rest assured, Brother Songpa, even if the method taught by the president does not work, he will do his best to make his fleet dare not approach the coast."

Cai Ye nodded.

"Then it's all up to Brother Xu."

"Leave it to me." Saying that, Xu Tianchuan stood up from his seat. "I came here by train from Yanjing to this matter..."

Then Xu Tianchuan called several generals of the Air Force, and soon several people left the headquarters in Jinan together.

Looking at the back of Xu Tianchuan and the others leaving, an army general said with some hesitation.

"Commander, do you think Minister Xu can do it?"

Cai Yi shook his head.

"Anyway, even if they can't succeed, I hope their casualties won't be too big..."

"This commander doesn't need to worry, I just heard from a friend that an hour ago, a reconnaissance plane formation of the Air Force just attacked the Yue army in Longkou, which embarrassed those devils, and he didn't even have any casualties..."

"So..."

Cai Yi nodded.

"If that's the case, that's good..."

Just when Cai Yi and others were talking, Xu Tianchuan flew to Laiyang by plane―――――― there is naturally a train between Jinan and Laiyang, but if you take a plane, it is definitely faster than a train, not to mention that Xu Tianchuan is also the Minister of the Air Force, and it is also appropriate to lead by example.

Because the speed of the plane was fast enough, Xu Tianchuan quickly arrived at Laiyang by plane.

And in Laiyang, the two infantry divisions stationed in Laiyang are also ready for battle.

"But minister, why did you come to Laiyang in person?"

The commander of the Laiyang Air Base looked at Xu Tianchuan, who had just climbed down from the plane, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"I'm coming?" took a small glass of liquor from his subordinates, and after taking a sip, Xu Tianchuan said. "I'm here to execute Project 1..."

"Plan No. 1..."The commander was stunned, as the commander of the Laiyang Air Base, he should not have known about this plan, but at this time, almost all of the only more than 60 bombers of the National Defense Air Force were deployed in Laiyang, so he did not know that this plan was impossible.

But it was precisely because he knew about this plan that he was stunned.

"Minister, do you really want to carry out that plan?"

Glancing around, the commander said cautiously.

"Of course." Xu Tianchuan nodded. "Otherwise, what are we going to do with the devil?"

As he spoke, Xu Tianchuan patted the commander on the shoulder.

"You go and get ready, get all the bombs and fuel you need for the bombers. In addition, the reconnaissance of the Longkou army cannot be interrupted for a moment, and at this time, we must not lose the position of the expeditionary fleet of the army. ”

"Please rest assured, the minister understands."

With that, the commander of the base had already run down to prepare.

And after the commander left, Xu Tianchuan also walked to a room and sat down.

To be honest, although the speed of the plane is indeed very fast, it does not feel good to sit on him, especially in this era when the technology of the plane is still very backward.

In the early morning of the next day, after a busy night, the 63 bombers at the Laiyang Air Base were ready to go, and the bombers of this group were 128, that is, two full groups of Fokker planes...

Of course, the task of these Fokker aircraft was not to escort the aircraft, because at Longkou there were neither roadbed aircraft nor naval aviation, nor even the necessary anti-aircraft firepower.

So these Fokker planes only need to carry 100 kilograms of bombs, and then fly over the head of the expeditionary fleet...

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether or not we can change the status of our Air Force in the Wehrmacht, or even the entire history of human warfare, depends on our actions today."

As he spoke, Xu Tianchuan, who was dressed in a black military uniform, drank all the liquor in the cup.

"I'll leave it all up to you."

Looking at Xu Tianchuan, the nearly 1,000 pilots standing in front of him didn't say much, just drank all the liquor in the cup like Xu Tianchuan, and then quickly boarded the plane at the airport.

Under the guidance of the conning tower, these winged Ying Dragons are rushing into the sky one by one...
