Chapter 138: Wanning

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, when the evacuation of residents along the southwest coast of Qiong was in full swing, two reconnaissance planes took off on the Kaga, which was only about 100 kilometers away from Dongfang City, on the southwest sea.

At the same time, the diversion fleet began to turn, and then it slaughtered violently in the coastal waters where Dongfang City was located.

Seeing that the two fighters had disappeared into the sky, Yamamoto Isoroku on the bridge put down his binoculars and asked Toshiichiro Koizumi: "Arima hasn't sent a telegram yet?" ”

Koizumi Toshiichiro nodded, he looked at his watch and said, "The appointed time is half past ten, and there is still half an hour." You look a little nervous, Sir. ”

Yamamoto shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It hurts too much to be hit by 'sink it'." Koizumi, if you talk about the land area and population alone, the empire is actually a child challenging an adult compared to China. Therefore, as long as we can, even if it is a light cruiser or even a fighter plane or even a soldier, we must cherish it immensely. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Koizumi nodded: "Your Excellency, I admit that at the beginning, I was dismissive of the Shina people. However, after these few days of confrontation, I now feel that at least, Ouyang Yun, a person from Zhina, is worthy of our respect. ”

"It's not just Ouyang Yun," Yamamoto corrected, "We should give a minimum of respect to all opponents. Because only in this way will we be solemn, in order to discover their weaknesses and deal a heavy blow. Koizumi, in this Sino-Japanese war, the empire is gambling on the national fortunes of the next 50 years. If it wins, the empire will be free for at least fifty years, but if it fails-" Perhaps because the topic was too heavy, Yamamoto could not continue.

In Japanese history books, Koizumi reads most of the comments about Yamamoto as a gambler, but this is incompatible with the side that Yamamoto presents in front of him. At this time, Yamamoto behaved more like a poet who was worried about the country and the people. Yamamoto's words were too pessimistic, which made Koizumi very uncomfortable to hear, he suddenly remembered the history in which he was in, remembered the process of Japan's re-rise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he said: "Your Excellency, this war is a gamble, yes, but it is far from the extent that it can affect the empire for fifty years. You can rest assured, the Japanese people are industrious and honest, even if this battle is really lost, the empire will rise soon. As he spoke, he looked at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance, and said in his heart: "Although it is not in the field of force, the rise of the economy can also change the status of a country in the world - the Sangyu is lost in the east, and the god Amaterasu still favors Japan." ”

This kind of dialogue is almost every day between Yamamoto and Koizumi. Through the dialogue, Koizumi gained Yamamoto's command experience and strategic vision, and Yamamoto also benefited greatly, at least, because the self-confidence of "sink it" has now gradually recovered.

At half past ten, it was still the front line of the Wanning Dazhou Fort, under the command of Arima Masafumi, after a three-day stop, the war was ignited again. First up were more than 20 ships of various types, including a battleship. The cannon rumbled, and in an instant, fireworks rose near the Continental Battery, and soon all the suspected fortifications were reduced to pieces or even into burning fires in the artillery fire.

The headquarters of the 38th Brigade was still under the abandoned Dazu Battery, and because of the early warning from the Dahuajiao radar station, when the combined fleet was left with one aircraft carrier "Ryuchamp", "Ryuchamp" was loaded with a total of 48 fighters, of which 43 could be put into battle. In order to achieve the effect of "large-scale attack", Arima released all 43 fighters into the sky. After these 43 fighters took to the air, they immediately extended their bombing range and began to search, bomb, and strafe. Half an hour passed, not only was Wanning City bombed again, turning from ruins into a burning sea of fire again, but even Dongshanling was also favored by the little devil pilots. At least 30 bombs fell on the Dongshan Ridge, and more than a dozen cadet soldiers, including soldiers of the three Taiwan Special Operations Brigades, were killed by the explosion.

The officers and men of the Niangzi Yunwei Regiment and the Guangzhou Guard Corps behaved quite calmly, but the performance of a group of soldiers of the Taiwan Special Operations Brigade was quite unbearable.

Guo Dai showed the quality of an excellent commander at this time, he lay down with the soldiers, and took care of those guys who were about to move from time to time: "If you don't want to die, lie down for me!" How? I'm afraid the little devil won't be able to see you?! ”

Thinking about it, the Taiwan soldiers were indeed so reasonable, and although they were terrified in their hearts, they did not dare to move around.

Ouyang Yun was still standing at the door of the headquarters to investigate the situation, but as the sound of the bomb breaking through the air sounded over his head, You Xiaolian hurriedly dragged him in.

"Boom!" A bomb exploded at the entrance of the headquarters, which made the students hiding nearby all break out in a cold sweat.

Because the mountains in the Middle East had not been bombed in the previous battle, Chen Shichang thought of Li Senran's escape in the early morning, and couldn't help but wonder if he had provided Ouyang Yun's location to the Japanese army. He immediately suggested to Ouyang Yun that he thought that Dongshanling could no longer stay, and called Shan Renxiong to inform him of the situation.

It is a matter of the safety of the commander-in-chief, even if it is chasing the wind and shadows, but it is impossible to take precautions, after receiving the call, the single male did not dare to ignore it, and immediately called Zhang Dali, Yun Dianjiang and Qiu Hongsheng after a little thought, and asked them to immediately dispatch the armored regiments directly under each brigade to Dongshan Ridge to protect the safety of the commander-in-chief.

Among the armored regiments directly under the three brigades, the armored regiment of the 38th Brigade was the closest to Dongshanling, and after receiving the call, Zhang Dali immediately gave an order to Cai Xiaosheng, the commander of the regiment, and Cai Xiaosheng immediately led the team to leave the hiding place of Wuzhishan and immediately began to advance at full speed towards Dongshanling.

The 43 fighters released by the "Longxiang" wreaked havoc in the Wanning area for about half an hour before Shi Shiran left, and while they were still on the way back, the Japanese landing force set off. More than 30 landing ships of various types carried more than 2,000 devils to the front line of the Dazu Battery, and 10 minutes later, the first wave of a brigade of devils carrying various types of light and heavy weapons landed on the land near the Dazu Fort under the command of a young man named Shunicao Hashimoto.

Yamamoto left Arima with a total of four brigades, and he invested three brigades at one time, just to be able to cause misunderstanding among the Cadet Army, thinking that their main direction of attack was still in Manning.

Arima's strategic guiding ideology is naturally good, but because Yamamoto left him with soldiers from the Osaka Division, it is doubtful whether this strategic attempt can produce real results. Of course, at this time, Arima still didn't know what kind of virtue the Osaka Division was.

Twenty minutes after the start of the landing battle, everything that happened on the beach near the Ozu Fort almost killed Arima-
