The solo male learns from intercepted Japanese telegrams that it was a white-sided dolphin that sank the Yamashiro in a strange way.

The sinking of a battleship is definitely not a trivial matter, you must know that at this time, the Japanese generally still have a serious battleship complex. If something so big happens, he will definitely be held responsible, and in order to evade the sanctions of the military court, Arima Masamune can only play word games to reduce his guilt. Under Koizumi's protection, Yamamoto released Arima and Ichima, so the telegram intercepted by the radio reconnaissance team of the Fifth Army was very interesting.

A total of three ciphers were intercepted, the first and third of which were sent by Arima to Yamamoto on another battleship. However, the messages were so different that even the cadets in charge of deciphering them were confused. In the first secret message, Arima truthfully reported the reason for the sinking of the Yamashiro. Later, a secret telegram read: A white-sided dolphin fighter plane of the China people was hit by our anti-aircraft artillery fire, and the China pilot immediately took a suicide attack, although all the officers and men of the ship tried their best to block the attack, but the China fighter plane was too close to the battleship, and as a result, the China fighter plane hit the port side, causing the hull of the ship to be torn apart......

"Youtang, why did the little devil change his mind?" The single man pondered, and then went to the Qiongzhou Flying Brigade to consult.

When Man Jiang received the secret telegram, he immediately understood what was going on. He didn't rush to let his subordinates call back, but first informed Lan Volcano of the matter: "Old Lan, the reason for the sinking of the Shancheng came out, yes, it was hit and sunk by Xiao Zhu!" ”

Because it was a public channel, everyone heard it, and when it landed, there was an exclamation in the channel: "What? "It's Xiao Zhu!" "Little Zhu ......"

Blue Volcano spoke later, and he defined Xiao Zhu's behavior: "Xiao Zhu saved face for us!" Brothers, if the General Headquarters does not hold us accountable this time, Xiao Zhu should be the first to take the lead. Brothers, let's remember Xiao Zhu, a good brother! ”

Before departure, he was counting on the possibility of "sinking it" again to inflict heavy damage on the Combined Fleet, but the result was the opposite, losing so many fighters, sinking only one frigate and damaging a few, which is really unacceptable. If it weren't for Xiao Zhu's sinking of the Shancheng after the most reluctance, then their combat operation this time would definitely be a fiasco.

Manjiang's feedback telegram was sent to Shan Jixiong, and he learned how the Shan Castle had been sunk. He was silent at that time, and later, he immediately called Ouyang Yun to report the news of the victory. In the telegram, he didn't mention Xiao Zhu, nor did he mention the battle damage, he thought in his heart, if the battle damage was reported together, he was afraid that Xiao Zhu would die in vain. The performance of the white-sided dolphin is excellent, far surpassing the devil fighter, and the loss of so many planes at one time, the commander-in-chief is so calculating, he is afraid that in anger, not only will he not reward the blue volcano, but also criticize them. "Xiao Zhu must be rewarded, otherwise I'm too sorry for the hero, well, let me command the ground troops to fight a few more big victories," he pondered, so Ouyang Yun received a telegram that only reported good news and not bad news.

The aviation unit returned in vain, but the Yamashiro was blown up and sunk by the people of China in an extreme way, which made the faces of the senior officers of the combined fleet a little ugly.

The Hainan Campaign lasted only two days, and the Marine Corps lost a brigade and lost a number of warships and planes, especially the sinking of the Shancheng, which seriously damaged the morale of the troops, and if no progress could be made in the future, the battle would only become more and more difficult to fight, and there would be no need to continue.

Koizumi, who had hoped to use this battle to establish himself as a behind-the-scenes military advisor of the Japanese Navy, was hit the hardest. Didn't the history books that I came into contact with before crossing say that the current branch is vulnerable and the imperial army is devastated? Why does it seem to be reversed now? By the way, it is a student army, and in the past, there was no such an armed force. Now that it has appeared out of thin air, it seems that if he really wants to change the fate of the empire, he will have a long way to go! With this understanding, Koizumi became much more cautious and modest, which also made Yamamoto feel a little relieved while being annoyed.

No matter what others think, Yamamoto has the most contact with Koizumi and has received a lot of things from him that can really change the status quo of the empire, so he has always had high expectations and even a little superstition about Koizumi. Seeing Koizumi's frustration, he took him aside for enlightenment before deciding on his next combat move.

"Don't worry, it's not out of control yet. You are not familiar with the current way of warfare, so it is inevitable that you will make a wrong judgment. Ouyang Yun is also a descendant, he came a few years earlier than you, and it is normal to be able to crush you now. But I'm sure you'll be better than him with time. ”

Yamamoto's words warmed Koizumi's heart, and he said movingly: "Your Excellency, I have disappointed your expectations, I'm sorry!" After speaking, he bowed deeply. Raising his head, he asked, "What are we going to do next?" It can be seen that the sinking of the Yamashiro has dealt a great blow to morale, and if I can't make a breakthrough, I feel that this battle will not be able to be fought. ”

Yamamoto let out a long sigh, then collected his mood and said, "You said too much, if you can't make progress, this battle really can't continue." Well, I think it's time to carry out the second line of operations in advance. ”

The so-called second combat plan, to be specific, is to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly cross Chencang, and still launch a fierce attack on the Wanning area, but secretly send a detachment to choose a place where the defense of the student army is relatively weak.

Koizumi agreed with Yamamoto's decision, and with the previous experience, he did not dare to despise the student army anymore. He believes that since the Cadet Army has been prepared, they must have spare means to be used.

Tsukahara 243 and Arima Masafumi were skeptical, and their view was that the Combined Fleet had already invested so much in the Manning area and had inflicted heavy losses on the Shina people, and that it would mean that the previous efforts would be in vain if they abandoned the landing at Manning and moved elsewhere.

Because the Yamashiro was blown up, Arima had to lower his profile, and although he objected, he did not point it out in public. Tsukahara was different, he said bluntly: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you think that the people of China still have a backup defense in Wanning, but I really can't think of how they can defend themselves. Fort? Fighter? I admit it, the people of China are cunning and hide deep enough, but haven't they been destroyed by us one by one? Next, what else can the people of China do? Flesh and blood? Hmph, without the corresponding heavy fire suppression, our naval artillery can destroy everything, not to mention the aviation in which we still have superiority. Your Excellency, we have all made such great sacrifices, can it be said that the blood of the warriors who died before should be shed in vain? ”

Tsukahara also had good reasons for opposing it, but it could not shake Yamamoto's decision. Eventually, he issued the order directly in the name of the commander of the Combined Fleet.
