When receiving an urgent telegram from Taiwan's supply fleet. Yamamoto Isoroku was discussing the next battle strategy with senior officers of the First Combined Fleet. After the establishment of the land command, the Osaka Division could not be counted on. Originally, it was thought that by reducing the supply of the department, it could be forced to submit, but judging from the situation in the past few days, the Osaka Division had no intention of compromising at all. These scoundrels actually saved their physical strength by reducing the activities of the troops, which made Yamamoto 56 and others directly speechless about them. The Osaka Division can't count on it, so it can only rely on the marines. However, after this period of battle losses, the 22,000 Marine Corps now has only about 16,000 left. After deducting the number of guards that must be reserved on the fleet, there are only about 13,000 people who can be sent out to fight, and how to use this to gain a foothold on Hainan Island is a severe test. In order to achieve this goal, then the superiority of the fleet and the air force must be fully brought into play, and in order to give full play to these two advantages, the detention time of the combined fleet must be extended.

"When Taiwan's supply fleet comes, we will start the next round of combat operations!" As soon as Yamamoto Isoroku finished saying this, Yuri, a communications staff officer, turned scorched and handed him an urgent telegram from the supply fleet. Yamamoto first swept through the ten lines at a glance, and then was startled and couldn't help but stand up. After reading it carefully, his face was bruised, and then he slapped the telegram on the table with a "snap" slap, and scolded breathlessly: "Eight grids! Ouyang Yun deceived people too much! ”

The others looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.

Koizumi took the telegram and looked at it, and his face instantly turned pale.

Seeing this, Tsukahara 243 took the telegram, and after reading it, he said, "No, how did the Shina people do it?" This sea area is so vast, even if their fighters have a long range, but if they don't have precise guidance......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Koizumi, Koizumi's hands clenched into fists, and he said hatefully: "Radar, it's radar!" The Cadet Army actually invented radar. He then bowed his head and pleaded guilty to Yamamoto: "Your Excellency, it was my fault, I should have noticed it a long time ago." Ouyang Yun was able to successfully plan 'sink', relying on radar warnings. Your Excellency, since the Taiwanese supply fleet has been captured by the Chinese people, the supply fleet from Nagasaki will certainly be captured as well. Your Excellency, it seems that we have to revise our established strategy. ”

Fifty-six Yamamoto had heard of radar. He even knew that some companies in the United States were studying this technology. Originally, he was surprised that the Cadet Army was able to seize the fleeting opportunity to successfully carry out the "sunken bar", but now he realized that the actions of the original side were under the surveillance of the Cadet Army. He took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood, then narrowed his eyes and said, "I see." With that being said, all of our current operations are under the watchful eye of the Shina people. Koizumi, can radar monitor both sea and air targets? ”

"Different types of radars can do it."

"If you want to monitor sea targets, the radar should be set up at a high place, right?"

"Yes. What do you mean, Sir? ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six sighed and said: "Gentlemen, you know the way, the base camp is not very favorable to the Hainan strategy, if we return in vain, then it will be extremely unfavorable to the future development of the navy." In other words, because of our own insistence, this operation will only succeed and not fail. Now, we're actually having a hard time riding a tiger. The Cadet Army has the secret weapon of radar, and all the actions of our army are exposed to their sight. Don't think that I am worrying about the sky, destroying my own prestige and growing the ambition of others, all that has happened has proved that the student army has actually been carefully arranged...... Don't doubt it, our actions against Qiong Nannan should also be under the surveillance of the Scholar Army, so why did they take the initiative to avoid the war? I think there must be a conspiracy behind this. As long as our actions are still under the surveillance of the Scholar Army, then no matter what we do, we will be in a passive position, so the most important task for our monarch at the moment is to find the radar of the people of China and destroy it. Sanada, go and call Koji Otomo—"

Koji Otomo was the quartermaster of the Combined Fleet, and he was in charge of the preservation and distribution of armaments and provisions. Soon, Otomo walked in with Sanada.

As an officer in charge of logistics, it was the first time that Otomo had the honor to participate in this kind of meeting attended by the military commanders of the front-line troops, which made him look a little excited, and even trembled slightly when he bowed to Yamamoto, looking flattered.

Yamamoto asked straight to the point: "Otomo, how long can we support the existing materials?" ”

Otomo was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully: "If the consumption level of the previous days is followed, the combat materials can still support three days, and the supply is enough for two weeks." ”

"From now on, the daily food supply for each person will be halved, except for the fighters."

"Hay!"

Yamamoto turned to the others and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if we can't get supplies, we will only be able to stay in Hainan for a week, and after a week, if we can't effectively occupy Hainan, we will have to return in vain." ”

Everyone looked at him with a surprisingly silent expression.

Yamamoto thought for a moment and then said: "The next combat operation is first to find and destroy the radar station. After successfully achieving this operational objective, we will devote all our combat strength to a blitzkrieg landing operation. Tsukahara! ”

"Your Excellency!" Tsukahara two-four-three stood up.

"The success of the next operation depends on your aviation forces. So, I want you to be able to concentrate the best pilots to find and destroy the radar stations of the Cadet Corps in the shortest time possible. ”

"The lowly will do his best to accomplish this task."

"It's not about trying, it's about getting it done."

"Hay."

"Lieutenant General Aikawa!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, if there is anything you need me to do, please command!" Aikawa Tsunoda stood up and answered.

"Sawada Shigeru can't count on it anymore, I can only ask you for attack and defense on land!"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured. I will do my best! ”

Yamamoto glanced at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Imperial Navy has reached the most critical moment, and how to survive this crisis requires us to be in the same boat. Ladies and gentlemen, please! With that, he bowed his head to the crowd and bowed.

Everyone stood up in an uproar, and immediately bowed and said in unison: "Your Excellency, this is what we should do. ”

The war in Hainan seems to be getting more and more complicated.
