Chapter 568: Dive Bomber

Takashi Sakai was an absolute militarist, and he was more murderous and reckless in nature than other Japanese generals. It can be said to be a typical example of unscrupulous means to achieve the end. Although Japan has now shifted its strategic focus to Southeast Asia, and has issued several orders in succession not to allow various departments to provoke without authorization, even Hu Zongnan hit the city of Taiyuan and almost recovered Shanxi, they have endured it. But Takashi Sakai didn't think so, and always wanted to find a chance to fight. Just like now, he is trying to seize the opportunity of the Fourth Theater of Operations to confront the US military and take Hong Kong.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Chinese troops engaged in confrontation exercises with the US military are only a division of Du Yuming's division in North Vietnam, and they are also far away from Guangdong, so they should not affect the entire war situation. But Takashi Sakai doesn't think so. As a China expert, he thinks he knows the character of the Chinese very well. If it is not for themselves, the Chinese will never let themselves lose face at their doorstep, and similarly, the US military has already lost a battle, how can it be willing to lose again? Even military exercises are impossible. Therefore, on the surface, there are only two divisions in total, but the amount of effort explicit by both China and the United States is absolutely far exceeded. And he is confident that the exercise will attract the attention of many top figures in the Chinese military, including the Fourth Theater. In this way, as the most frontal enemy in the Fourth Theater, the Japanese 23rd Army led by him will inevitably attract the attention of the Chinese military.

The average person would certainly not move in such a situation. But Takashi Sakai is different. He's been waiting for an opportunity to take the initiative, and now, he thinks he's waiting.

He believes that the Chinese will only care about whether there are any changes in the Japanese army that has come into contact with various units in the Fourth Theater, and will not care about Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong had both British defenders and reinforcements from China...... For such a small place, this amount of defense is more than enough. The Chinese will not pay attention to the situation there. But that's exactly what he needs. Hong Kong has both British and Chinese troops, which in fact weakens the strength of the defense. Because of the deep contradictions between China and Britain, the Chinese army, under the guise of helping to defend Hong Kong, has made it clear that it wants to recover Hong Kong. When entering Hong Kong, he brazenly ordered warships to open fire...... Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Chinese and British armies to work together to defend Hong Kong.

Therefore, he first deliberately withdrew part of his troops from the vicinity of Hong Kong and supported them to the area in contact with the Fourth Theater of Operations, which attracted the attention of the Chinese military and paralyzed the Chinese and British defenders in Hong Kong by the way. It made him think that the Japanese army would not attack Hong Kong anytime soon. At the same time, however, he secretly gathered the 38th Division, which was undergoing combat training in the swamps, and took advantage of the negligence of the Hong Kong side to plan to conquer Hong Kong with lightning speed.

The commander of the 38th Division, Tadayoshi Sano, was an old subordinate of Takashi Sakai. He was well aware of what he was capable of. In his opinion, Tadayoshi Sano should be able to conquer Hong Kong in less than a month. Of course. This can be a bit long. The military exercises between China and the United States have been going on for several days, and it is believed that it will not be long before they end, and this has not involved other troops, and if it detects his abnormal movements, the Chinese side should be able to respond quickly. But he didn't need to care about that at all. His defenses in all directions have not weakened, on the contrary, they have increased. It is completely possible to resist the "counterattack" from the Chinese army, and as long as Tadayoshi Sano can take Hong Kong within a month, he can quickly support the front line, and at that time. Seeing that it is unprofitable, the Chinese will definitely die down. In order to guard against the possible appearance of the Chinese Navy in Hong Kong, he also specially prepared several minelaying boats, intending to lay mines in Victoria Harbour, the only way for the Chinese Navy to come to help......

Takashi Sakai thinks that he has thought of everything, and Hong Kong will definitely win it smoothly. But he never imagined that Sano Tadayoshi had just arrived in Hong Kong, and before he could start attacking, the Chinese airborne troops suddenly killed in the city of Guangzhou.

……

"Regain Guangdong, they want to recover Guangdong!"

How many troops there are in China's airborne forces, few people know. But everyone knows that this force is what the Chinese military sees as a killer force. As long as the airborne troops appear, it often means that they will kill with one hit. This is true of Okamura Ninji and Tada Jun...... And that's not even counting the Chinese warlords who were also planted in the hands of the Airborne Forces, Ma Bufang in Qinghai and Long Yun in Yunnan! And now, Sakai Takashi sent most of his troops to the front line of contact with the surrounding Chinese army, and there were not many troops left in Guangzhou, but at this time, the Chinese airborne troops suddenly arrived, and landed directly in the city of Guangzhou, this is not to capture him Sakai Takashi, take Guangzhou, and then recover Guangdong, what else can it be?

"Boom"!

"Boom-"

"Immediately order the garrison reinforcement headquarters, immediately-"

The bombing of the Air Force continued, and while bombing and clearing the field, it was "dropping people" down. Looking at the landing site, which was only three or four blocks away from the headquarters at most, Takashi Sakai only felt his legs and stomach tremble. He was sure that the other party did not want to drop the bomb there at all, although it was a Japanese expatriate area, but he was sure that the target of the Chinese was actually his headquarters. It's just that there was a deviation at the time of the bombing. But he was lucky enough to avoid the bombing, how could he be able to dodge the airborne troops who were constantly landing from the sky? As long as he fell to the ground, those elite soldiers could kill him in a few minutes. And look at the number, at least one or two thousand! That's about the strength of a brigade.

"The anti-aircraft guns opened fire immediately. Block the sky of the whole Guangzhou for me. ”

"The fighters immediately take off to meet the battle, and they must disrupt the airborne operations of the Chinese!" Hurry—"

Governor Tada did not answer, and after receiving Takashi Sakai's order, he hurriedly dialed the phone and notified them one by one. Before he could call the phone, the sound of "answer, answer" came from the periphery of the headquarters, and the light of the fire was clearly visible through the window.

"Yo Xi, who commanded the anti-aircraft guns? I'm going to give him a reward. ”

Watching one parachute after another in the sky being pierced by anti-aircraft guns, and the people under the umbrella smashed down almost straight, Takashi Sakai felt a lot more stable. Originally, I was going to go out to avoid it, and I didn't plan to work on those lap legs at this time.

"Commander, the city defense forces have sent reinforcements to the landing site! It will be there soon. Governor Tada said to him again.

"Speed up," Takashi Sakai said in a deep voice, "tell them." I don't want to be kicked out of my headquarters by the Chinese. That would be a shame for me that will be hard to wash. ”

"Hey!"

Governor Tada replied and dialed the phone again.

"Airplanes, what about our planes? Haven't you been notified from the airport yet? How can the speed of aviation be so slow? Seeing that the anti-aircraft guns in the city began to form a large network of firepower, effectively clearing the unsightly parachutes in the sky, Takashi Sakai became more and more calm, but he saw that there were still many complete parachutes that fell near the headquarters, and his brows tightly squeezed out the word "Chuan".

"I'll ask them." Governor Tada had just notified a city defense force, and when he heard this, he hurriedly dialed the phone towards the airport, "Moxi Moxi...... This is the headquarters of the 21st Army, what are you doing for it...... What——? ”

"What's wrong?" Takashi Sakai listened on the side. Unexpectedly, Governor Tada's face suddenly changed greatly, and his heart suddenly tightened: "What happened?" ”

"The airfield is under attack by Chinese troops!" Governor Tada's face turned pale.

"Impossible!" Takashi Sakai's eyes widened, "Look at the sky, where is the shadow of a Chinese plane in the direction of the airport?" ”

"Not the Airborne Forces. It was the periphery, the Chinese troops that suddenly appeared on the periphery of the airfield. Governor Tada held the microphone tightly. While listening to Takashi Sakai's roar, he relayed the airport's answer: "There are many enemies...... There is also at least one brigade of troops. The airport was defenseless. Runway...... The runway has been occupied! ”

"The runway has been occupied?" Takashi Sakai sat down in a chair. The two eyes began to wander around aimlessly, "How so?" When the airport is occupied, the Chinese will be able to transport their troops to the city of Guangzhou by air! What to do? What are we going to do? ”

"The airport is asking for support." Putting down the microphone, Tada's eyelids were also a little blank. Because they have long known the power of the Chinese Air Force and the Chinese Airborne Forces, they have arranged a large number of precautionary measures at the Tianhe Airport in Guangzhou. Especially anti-aircraft guns. More than half of the anti-aircraft guns in the city of Guangzhou were concentrated there. But I didn't expect that the Chinese would suddenly kill outside the airport, and directly killed the airport defenders by surprise. But where did these obviously elite Chinese troops come from? It can't be all Tuxingsun, right?

"Support? Where do I go to support them? Takashi Sakai's eyes were already red. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to take Hong Kong and show off his prestige as General Sakai, but now ...... "Contact Tadashi Sano immediately." Let him come back immediately! Immediately return to Guangzhou! ”

"Hey!"

Governor Tada didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly picked up the phone again, asking people to immediately notify Sano Tadayoshi. And not long after he put down the phone, the phone rang sharply again. Governor Tada thought that there was an echo from Tadashi Sano, and hurriedly picked up the microphone, but before he could speak, the news from the other party made him stupid:

"All the people who are airborne are dummies?"

"What mud?" Sakai stood up again, "Dummy? ”

"How can it be a dummy?" Governor Tada put down the phone in a daze. The Chinese attacked Tianhe Airport and had already initially occupied it, obviously trying to take Guangzhou, but what could it be a group of dummies that they parachuted into the city of Guangzhou? Don't they want to be inside and out?

"Ding Yu ......"

Today's phone was particularly busy, and before Takashi Sakai and Tada Governor could figure out the Chinese's intentions, the phone rang again. The two who were thinking were startled at the same time, and they looked at each other, and Tada Governor picked up the microphone again. Soon, his face, which had relaxed a little because he had learned that the "invasion" of Guangzhou was just a group of dummies, began to turn pale again.

"What happened?" Takashi Sakai couldn't help but ask with a weak heart.

"The 38th Division has been attacked by the Hong Kong side and cannot be withdrawn!" Governor Tada was a little distracted.

"Impossible! How dare the British ......" Takashi Sakai did not believe.

"It's not the British," Governor Tada swallowed, "it's the American army!" A full division of the American army! ”

"Americans? Could it be, is it...... MacArthur? "Takashi Sakai is stupid. American Army? If it was the American army, then only the men of the imperial army would be defeated. What would be the U.S. military? Does that mean that China and the United States are playing a game at the same time in order to deceive him? And he thinks he is smart, but in fact he is stupid to follow the wishes of others and almost draw out the troops near Guangzhou?

"It should be." Governor Tada's mood was not much better, "Only MacArthur could have drawn so many troops, and only when his troops were mobilized would not attract our attention...... He's here for revenge! ”

"Horn Quack—"

Takashi Sakai suddenly roared loudly and slammed the desk in front of him to the ground.

"I'm not going to let them get their way, no, absolutely not!"

"Commander ......"

"Hum—"

After dropping a large number of dummy airborne troops, the original bomber group had left, and the sky was much quieter. But just as Governor Tada was about to persuade Takashi Sakai, the roar of planes sounded outside again, and this roar was a little different from the bomber group just now, and it was much sharper. Hearing this voice, Governor Tada also took care of Takashi Sakai and hurriedly ran to the window, and then, his eyes were split:

"Dive Bomber——" (To be continued......
