As the minutes passed, Tu Mengben in the command headquarters was closing his eyes and recuperating, while Su Zongzhe was nervously waiting for news from all sides.

The most important killer of this book, the Combined Fleet, is now nowhere to be seen, which has always made Su Zongzhen extremely uneasy. If they do not appear, neither can the Wehrmacht fighters and Chen Shaokuan's combined fleet.

Otherwise, if there is a mistake, it will affect the overall strategy. The attack on the beach was actually stopped with Su Zongzhe's approval. And now the transport fleet is constantly transporting people and supplies to the beach.

As chief of the General Staff, Su Zongzhen must be prepared for everything possible. He had to make sure that there were enough fighters to land, and that they had enough supplies and ammunition.

300,000 people, as long as 300,000 people land up, then the Wehrmacht will have the initiative! Su Zongzhe has been calculating how many troops he has landed now.

As long as an area can be occupied, the Defence Forces will be able to move supplies and troops into it through the air force. This was calculated by the General Staff.

Occupy Fukuoka and open an airfield. Even if the navy loses, or even if the entire army is destroyed, the air force will be able to support the troops to continue fighting.

Although the Wehrmacht's transport aircraft force is not very strong at present, it is enough to transport about 1,000 soldiers to Fukuoka every rì. The rest of the transport planes can send large quantities of ammunition supplies to Fukuoka.

The combat capability of the Air Force's fighters also gave Su Zongzhe confidence that he could ensure the safety of air transportation.

"Uncle Qiliu, don't be so nervous. Yamamoto and his combined fleet are only a few moments late, so there is no need for us to be in such a hurry. Tu Mengben opened his eyes and comforted Su Zongzhen with a smile.

And Su Zongzhen smiled bitterly, where can he come down with peace of mind?! The battlefield is changing rapidly, and he shoulders the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Wehrmacht.

It can be said that every step is like walking on thin ice, how can you easily come down?!

"Before the fight, we were nervous. We have to deal with war readiness and plan operations. We need to calculate the details and think of any situation that may arise......"

Tu Mengben stood up, looked at Su Zongzhen and said, "But now that the fight has started, everything has almost become a certainty." There are not many unplanned situations. ”

"And in this case, we have to be more stable. Because one of our orders and words is likely to be related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people. Tu Mengben looked at Su Zongzhen and said softly: "So, we need to be more stable than anyone else." ”

At this time, thinking that the staff officer hurriedly walked into the command room and gave a military salute to Tu Mengben and Su Zongzhe. Road.

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, reconnaissance planes from the Air Force have found the Combined Fleet! They are more than 30 kilometers away from Kagoshima! According to what the Air Force observed, they were from Fukuoka, about fifteen hours away! ”

As he spoke, the staff officer handed the telegram in his hand to Su Zongzhe. Su Zongzhe, who got the telegram, hurriedly looked at it, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief until it was confirmed.

Finally, there is news! Finally found Yamamoto Isoroku and his fleet, as long as they are found, then don't worry. Everything can be rescheduled according to their voyage.

"Let the Air Force keep an eye on it, but don't get spotted by the Rì Army fleet. Inform Chen Shaokuan's combined fleet that Yamamoto Fifty-six's whereabouts have been discovered! Command them to draw up a new battle plan immediately, which must be seen within an hour! ”

Tu Mengben issued seven or eight operational orders in one breath, and the headquarters and staff of the National Defense Force, which had been silent, began to operate at full speed. The staff officers began to calculate the current situation of the army based on the information provided by the Air Force.

All the reconnaissance aircraft units of the Air Force and Navy were informed. Some of the reconnaissance planes went to Fukuoka to conduct reconnaissance, while the other part of the Jīng Rui reconnaissance planes were sent to the waters off Kagoshima to monitor Yamamoto Isoroku's fleet.

Within ten minutes, the news of the appearance of Isoroku Yamamoto and his fleet had spread throughout the Wehrmacht. The Army, Navy, and Air Force all knew about the appearance of Yamamoto's fleet.

"Fuck! I thought he had gone somewhere, but it turned out that he had gone to Kagoshima to replenish supplies. Chen Ce, who had a violent temper, laughed: "No wonder we didn't see those rì warships when we attacked Fukuoka, it turned out that they all ran to Kagoshima to hide!" ”

Chen Shaokuan smiled and did not speak, the navy had been guarding against the fleet left on the mainland by the navy. That fleet is not big, but it will be a problem if it is entangled with the combined fleet.

Perhaps frightened by the previous bombardment by the Wehrmacht, the fleet ran to Kagoshima and hid. This made the Wehrmacht fleet attacking Fukuoka wonder and be prepared for a while.

Now all the doubts were solved, and it turned out that this fleet was not ambushing itself. Instead, they hid in Kagoshima, where they joined the combined fleet of Yamamoto Isoroku and headed for Fukuoka.

"Now that Yamamoto has appeared, it's up to us to see if we can eat it!" Chen Shaokuan smiled and said, "Talk about it, talk about it!" How do we eat this piece of fat! ”

As soon as Chen Shaokuan's words fell, the captain and staff officers buzzed into a mess. Some people advocate that they should continue to take it with them in Fukuoka and wait for work! Wait for Rì himself to arrive, and then work with the Air Force to completely kill them.

Others, on the other hand, believe that the fleet should not just stay there. You should take the initiative and go directly to the Rì army. Calculate the time and cooperate with the air force to take out Yamamoto's combined fleet in one fell swoop.

There are also those who believe that the Wehrmacht did not know the location of their fleet at the moment, and that a rash move would attract the attention of the Rì army. When the time comes, the news leaks a little, and the Wehrmacht fleet is passive.

It's better to wait for Rì himself to jump into the ditch, and when they are almost ready, they will completely kill Yamamoto's combined fleet with the air force at anchor.

The captains and staff officers in the fleet still obeyed some rules, and everyone did not have an argument like the army did. But the sound was not much smaller.

There was a lot of noise, and Chen Shaokuan's ears buzzed......

"That's it! Don't make any noise! In desperation, Chen Shaokuan could only stop these quarrels under Chen Ce's smiling eyes.

"What you said is very reasonable, we must first ensure that our combat intentions will not be discovered by the Rì army. Second, we must ensure that we take the initiative in operations. Chen Shaokuan looked at these captains and said in a deep voice: "Only by winning the initiative can we win." ”

There was no disagreement about this, but there was disagreement about what kind of attack should be used.

"Yamamoto hasn't noticed that we've detected their movements right now, but I'm sure they won't fail to think about countering us."

Chen Shaokuan's hand pressed the table, and he said in a deep voice: "Our fighter planes can fly to Fukuoka, which means that we can at least get the support of the air force." ”

"And this place is closer to the Rì Honpo mainland, and Yamamoto is likely to mobilize the air force of the Rì Honko Army to support him!" After a pause, Chen Shaokuan said: "According to the intelligence of the General Staff Headquarters, there are more than 2,000 fighters deployed on the mainland. ”

"In the operation some time ago, they lost about two hundred fighters. The rest shrank back. Just cruising in Tokyo and Kyoto. ”

"Our air force units, on the other hand, took into account the issue of range and did not strike at them. I believe that in this battle they will definitely cooperate with the navy and try to annihilate us in one fell swoop! ”

Everyone was shocked, and they realized that they seemed to have directly ignored the air force of the army. In fact, they are not to blame, the presence of the army's air force is really low.

Since the Wehrmacht Air Force began to equip the Tiger Shark, the air force of the Army and Navy has not earned a profit in front of Wehrmacht fighters.

The two sides were even evenly matched, and most of the time it was the Rì Army that was defeated by the Wehrmacht fighters and finally retreated. In such a situation, how do you get the admirals of the navy to take them into account?!

Subconsciously, these fighters forgot about the Army Air Corps.

However, this time, Chen Shaokuan's combined fleet is likely to face a joint attack by the army and navy. The war has been fought to this extent, and even if there are any differences between the army and navy, they can only be put aside temporarily.

The bottom of the stove is going to be removed, can the pot on the stove be safe and sound?! At this time, all they can do is to unite, at least to keep the country first, and then it is possible to talk about anything else.

"So, in addition to dealing with Yamamoto, we will probably have to face the Rìmoto Army Air Corps!" Chen Shaokuan sneered and said: "Let's calculate others, but don't forget that others are also calculating us!" Don't be stabbed in the back by someone at that time, and then you will know how to regret it! ”

Everyone was silent, and everyone knew what Chen Shaokuan's words meant. This battle is about the life and death of the Combined Fleet and the entire Wehrmacht Navy!

One omission could well lead to the annihilation of the entire army. If they have problems, it will be difficult for the Wehrmacht Navy to rise again in twenty years......

"Report! The Navy has sent a request for us to conduct a reconnaissance of the Fukuoka area! The staff officer handed a telegram to Su Zongzhe, who frowned and took it over to look at.

When he finished reading the telegram, his frown loosened. Chen Shaokuan hasn't dizzy so far, which is a good thing. Knowing that the rì army has an air force, it is true that it should be jǐng ti some.

"Refer it to General Chen Haihua and ask the Air Force to transfer the direction of reconnaissance to Fukuoka. Pay attention to whether there is any movement in the air force of the rì army, and return to the air as soon as it is discovered, and do not reconnoiter the nearest place to expose the target......"

At this time, Yamamoto Fifty-six did not know that his whereabouts had been exposed, and he was looking at the dark sea from the side of the ship and secretly calculating the voyage.

Yamamoto did not dare to send a reconnaissance plane, and was also worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, so he completely shut down the radio. Now that they have lost contact with the rì mainland, everything can only be carried out by relying on the predetermined battle plan of the base camp.

Even if this plan brings a dead end, they can only go on with it.

"How many fighters have the Army Airlines transferred?!" Yamada Otozo asked the staff officers around him with red eyes. The staff officer looked through the documents and said.

"Twelve hundred warplanes have been transferred. 830 fighters and more than 300 bombers......"

"What about ammunition readiness?! Where are the other troops supporting Fukuoka?! Yamada Otozo walked to the map and asked in a deep voice.

"Kenichi Miyashita of the 157th Division is about to arrive, and the other divisions are still some distance away......" The staff officer looked at the phone and said with a frown.

Yamada Otozo sighed and continued to look at the map. The blue line above Fukuoka formed a gear-like shape, defending against the attack of the red arrows.

And around Ziah, the blue sè arrows pointed straight to Fukuoka.

And in the strait on the other side of the map, the dotted line of the plane also points to the Fukuoka area. Of course, the dotted line of planes on the island has also arrived in the predetermined area.

"How far is Yamamoto's fleet from Fukuoka?!" Yamada continued to ask without raising his head. The staff officer looked at the large stack of documents in his hand.

"General Yamamoto can't be contacted, they should be on radio silence. According to our plan, they are now about ten hours away from Fukuoka......"

Yamada Otozo pressed the corner of the table and did not squeak. Everything that should be prepared is ready, and the rest is up to providence. Win or lose, just look at this fight......

In the early morning, the morning sun in Fukuoka gently drifts on the ground. The Rì Army and the Wehrmacht, which had been repaired all night, also began to prepare for the next round of the offensive.

After a night of repairs, both jīng gods have recovered a lot. But no one fired the first shot, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the 157th Division's Ken Miyashita's three wings totaling 21,000 men arrived in Fukuoka. Subsequently, the troops of a wing quickly entered the third-line position to set up the defensive line.

At the same time, a brigade entered the second-line defensive positions to assist in the defense. The 157th Division brought mortars and grenadiers and distributed them to the units below, and the rest went into the dugouts as reserves to wait for orders.

At eight o'clock, warplanes began to be pushed out of the hangar at a hidden airfield on the outskirts of Kurume City. The pilot put on a flight suit and waited quietly outside the field.

Ground crews began to fuel the planes while carrying ammunition.

At 8:30 a.m., the first batch of warplanes began to buzz and roar from the airfield on the outskirts of Kurume City! Then more than 30 fighters formed a formation and rushed towards Fukuoka!

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" and at this time, the Wehrmacht Marines in the Fukuoka area began an offensive against the Rì Army. A large amount of artillery fire fell on the positions of the Rì army.

There was a burst of gunsmoke, and the Rì army was forced to retreat into the artillery shelter for defense. The shelling lasted for an hour, after which the Wehrmacht launched an attack on the positions of the Rì Army with a roar.

The fighters rested for the night, but the transport fleet did not. It was impossible to bring in all 300,000 troops overnight. However, after a night of work and the assistance of a special transport ship, all 130,000 troops were finally sent to Fukuoka.

Now the transport continues, and with the experience of the first two landing operations, the transport of a large number of troops is not a problem for the Wehrmacht. As long as they can ensure the smooth passage of waterways, then they will be able to send troops ashore in a steady stream.

"Report! The Combined Fleet of the Navy, fifteen minutes into the attack area, asks for instructions!! "In the Wehrmacht headquarters, the staff officers panted and delivered this extremely important news.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing. Everyone looked at Tu Mengben, who was slowly standing up, waiting for his order.

"So what are you waiting for?! Tell the two commanders of the army and navy, I just want to win! Tu Mengben smiled: "Let's fight!" ”

"Kill!!" There were excited shouts from the staff officers and officers at all levels from the headquarters, and they now only had two words in their hearts: go to war!!

At nine o'clock, the combined fleet of the Rìmoto Navy finally arrived at the battlefield. Yamamoto divided the fleet into two parts, one of which went with the fighters to Fukuoka to attack the Wehrmacht naval fleet.

The other part is to escort the aircraft carrier with the front line of the aircraft carrier.

However, they did not fly in front of the Wehrmacht Combined Fleet as smoothly as expected, nor did they encounter the Wehrmacht's reconnaissance aircraft as calculated by accident.

What they encountered was directly the fighter unit of the Wehrmacht! Moreover, it is the fighter unit of the Air Force!

"Damn it! Fight! Fight!! Fujita roared angrily over the communicator, which was beyond everyone's expectations. They had not expected to encounter the Wehrmacht's air force so quickly.

They had thought that the most they would encounter was a Wehrmacht reconnaissance plane. Even if the aircraft is about to take off from the aircraft carrier, it still needs a certain amount of preparation and warm-up time.

North Korea is not close to Fukuoka, and it will take a lot of time to prepare for their air force to come back. At the same time, it takes time to fly over.

......The warhawks of the Wehrmacht didn't give these Rì fighters time to prepare, and they smirked at the Rì Army fighters and slaughtered them.

One squadron of Rì fighters came up directly, and the other two turned around and ran. They had to go back and report the situation to the fleet.

The communicator on the Rì military fighter is as bad as it gets, let alone contacting the battleship. It's all about how they connect with each other.

They want to escape, but will the Wehrmacht allow it?! The warhawks of the Wehrmacht, of course, will not allow it! The four fighters separated from the group and killed the fighters who wanted to escape after the Rì Army!

The sky was filled with the roar of aircraft engines and the explosion of cannon shells. The fighters of the Rì Army rushed to the left and right, trying to shake off the pursuit of the Wehrmacht.

The Wehrmacht's eagles were biting and trying to shoot them down from the sky......

Air battles are being fought off the coast of Fukuoka, and air battles are being fought over Fukuoka at the same time. Pang Li never thought that he would encounter so many Rì Army fighters here.

The entire sky was almost completely covered with the fighters of the Rì Army, and there were at least a hundred of them here. And its own fighter unit is only more than 30 aircraft.

"Fight! Let's rush on! Kill them!! Pang Li glanced at the Wehrmacht fleet in the distance behind him, turned around and shouted at his team members through the communicator.

"Wehrmacht! Kill!! (To be continued.) )
