A butterfly with its weak wings can sometimes set off a storm of time and space.

At that time, the Tokyo Guards Division was not expanded until 1943 to form the 1st Guards Division and the 2nd Guards Division, and in this time and space, it was only in 1939 that the Guards Division had been expanded to three, and among them, there was also a phenomenon that the reinforcement was not in Tokyo.

The Japanese military department was also forced to make this decision. At that time, because of the very smooth capture of Fujian and Guangdong and the arrival of troops in Guangzhou, the South China Front was disbanded less than half a year after its establishment. But now, because the student army is entrenched in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Qiong, the South China Front not only continues to exist, but also seems to have no possibility of disintegration.

In June, when Ouyang Yun led the Beishang Army to fight Okamura Ningji in Madang, the Jewish Independent Army, with the cooperation of the guerrilla forces, regained most of western Zhejiang. Zhejiang was mountainous and should have been easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Jewish Independent Army, with the support of the guerrillas, was able to get help from the local mountain people, so it was easy to break through the Japanese defense. For the same reason, after the mountainous area was mastered by the Cadet Army, it became the front-line fortress of the Cadet Army. Under the command of Chu Tiange, the guerrilla units of the Cadet Army grew rapidly, and now they have become a major problem for the commander of the South China Front Army, Matsui Shigen. In view of the frequent expansion of the Guerrillas of the Cadet Army into central and southern Zhejiang, Matsui Shigen did not dare to be careless, and he sent a telegram to the base camp, not only asking for the continued retention of the South China Front, but also asking for support. At that time, the Japanese army had a total of 36 divisions and regiments, and the South China Front went to four at once: the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 13th divisions.

On the evening of November 8, just after nightfall, all the lighting towers at Nagasaki Naval Port Piers 1 to 7 were lit up, and for a while, the entire Nagasaki Military Port was lit up as bright as day. About a quarter of an hour after the lights came on, two brigades of Combined Fleet gendarmes rushed into the dock in heavily armed columns, and they scattered in rows, and soon put martial law on the inside and outside of the dock. Immediately after them, thousands of Japanese soldiers dressed in regular clothes and unarmed entered the dock in a neat queue with sticks, ropes, and other items used to carry burdens.

Just when the rest of the unwitting Combined Fleet did not know what was happening, the roar of truck engines sounded from far and near, and soon, a long line of lights lit up on the main road leading from the military port to the outside - one after another trucks drove into the port area, and then under the command of several military police with armbands, they drove up to the seven docks in an orderly manner.

The Nagasaki Naval Port is located on the south shore of Nagasaki Bay, and on the north shore is the Nagasaki Shipyard. When the Nagasaki Military Port became brightly lit, on a hill more than 200 meters high about a few hundred meters to the west of the shipyard, Jiang Yonggang and the Ancient Emperor poked their heads out of the grass where they were hiding, took out a telescope, adjusted the double diameter, and carefully observed.

After it was determined that the Guards Division would sail from Nagasaki, all two groups of cadets came to Nagasaki. Now, Jiang Yonggang and the Emperor of the Ancients are squatting here, just to determine their departure time through their own eyes.

"That's a lot of boats!" The Ancient Emperor sighed softly.

"The truck is pulling military supplies - good guys, that's a hundred and fifty mm heavy artillery, right? The Guards Division even brought this kind of heavy artillery over because it wanted to completely solve the Taiwan Corps! Jiang Yonggang said softly while observing.

The truck was transporting materials from the railway station to the ship, seeing one crane after another spinning, lifting one cannon after another, military trucks and armored vehicles onto the ship, in addition, thousands of devils were sweating profusely carrying ammunition boxes and other objects, Jiang Yonggang put down the telescope and said to the ancient emperor: "Lao Hei, I estimate that after these materials are loaded on the ship, the little devils will board the ship." ”

Emperor of the Ancients: "Let's count the number of ships, so that the Air Force brothers can know what to expect." ”

The two men began to count the ships on the docks, and counted down the seven docks one by one, and when they finally counted them, they were horrified to find that there were actually seventy-nine ships, of which twenty-one were large ships.

"These are all transport ships, I don't know if there are frigates in Langdao."

"There must be frigates, I don't know how many will be sent. I reckon they'll be on their way by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. ”

"According to the voyage, it should be in the morning, in that case, it will be in the afternoon or the first half of the night when I arrive in Taiwan."

"Old Black, do you want to take a rest first?"

"I'm not tired, you are so tired that you can sleep for a while!"

"No, I'm going to take a good look, hehe, maybe I won't have a chance in the future!" As soon as Jiang Yong said this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

If the air strikes are successful, many of these ships will certainly never be seen again.

The loading and unloading of supplies continued until about three o'clock in the morning, and at twelve o'clock in the middle, the martial law gendarmes were replaced. After all the supplies were on the ship, seeing that the martial law gendarmes did not evacuate with the devils who worked as stevedores, Jiang Yonggang discussed with the ancient emperor and came to the conclusion that the departure time should be tomorrow morning.

Really. After the ships carrying the supplies left Piers 1 to 7, another group of ships approached. At about five o'clock in the morning, as the rooster sang and the engine of the military truck roared again—one after another, the devils loaded with black guns and ammunition went up to the docks—and the devils of the Guards Division began to board the ship.

Densely packed with devils, they boarded the ships one by one in large groups, and soon, nearly 30 passenger ships and warships were filled with them. Before seven o'clock, when only the gendarmes who maintained order were left on the dock, several cars drove up to the pier.

Through the binoculars, Jiang and Gu found that there were devil officers in navy uniforms running over to salute the devils who got off the car, and they immediately realized that these people should be the supreme commander of the Guards Division.

"Good fellow, four lieutenant generals, five major generals, a total of nine generals! There's a rear admiral who seems to be in the navy, strange—"

"It should be the commander of the naval escort fleet."

"No, how did that rear admiral go to the other docks?"

Twenty minutes or so, it was already dawn at this time, and it was found that the rear admiral had boarded an aircraft carrier, Jiang and Gu's expressions changed, they looked at each other, and shouted in unison: "Is there an aircraft carrier escort?" ”

The rear admiral Jiang and Gu saw was Tsukahara 243, and the aircraft carrier he went up to was the "Soryu", the sister ship of the Flying Dragon, which was sunk in the "Sink It" operation. They all guessed wrong, the "Canglong" will not only undertake the escort mission, but will also participate in this combat operation to aid Taiwan.
