Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Pride of the Sky

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, after listening to Zhang Dali's latest report on the enemy situation, Shan Renxiong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Brother Guo Lai: "Okay, tonight is over, now go to sleep."

Brother Lai blinked at him with two big eyes and stared at him in confusion. The single male smiled: "The little devils must have been frightened by Dazhou Island, at least until they figure out the situation on Dazhou Island, it is impossible for them to launch an offensive again." Hurry up and go to bed, from tomorrow onwards, we won't want to sleep well again. ”

In the artillery lounge under the North Slope Fort, Zhang Dali stretched his waist and said to Xu Sanpao, the commander of the fort company: "Sleep, there is no battle and no drama tonight." ”

Xu Sanpao was on high alert from the moment he received the order to prepare for war, and his eyes were already bloodshot at this time. Still, his spirits were high. He asked puzzledly, "Brigade Commander Zhang, are you so sure that the little devil will not launch another offensive?" ”

"Of course. The little devils should now know who the enemy who fought them for most of the night was, but they would never believe it. Hehe, Lao Tzu used to be very afraid of snakes, but now, I think these long worms are too cute. ”

"But aren't serpents afraid of brimstone? So many shells smashed on, even if they didn't kill, such a strong smell of sulfur, the snake should be dormant, right? ”

"It's good that sulfur can repel snakes, but after the sound of the earth shaking for a while, the snake's brain has become confused. So, at this time, the snakes on Dazu Island are actually a group of crazy people. Alas, don't talk about this, hurry up and make up for sleep, otherwise you won't be able to bear it later-" Zhang Dali said and covered his head and fell asleep. Xu Sanpao was still a little puzzled, but by the time he sorted out his thoughts and was ready to ask questions, Zhang Dali had already fallen asleep.

Half an hour later, Yamamoto 56 received a telegram from Onizuka Shomuro again, and after learning the real situation on Ozu Island, a group of devils immediately became stupid. Koizumi Tonichiro's eyes widened and he stammered, "Snake? After a long time, General Onizuka and they actually fought with a group of snakes for most of the night? This, is this possible? ”

"It's ridiculous, Onizuka wants to shirk responsibility, and he should find a decent reason. This reason is so far-fetched! Arima Masamune followed up and said.

Tsukahara 243 cautiously did not express an opinion.

Yamamoto gritted his teeth in pain, and said in a deep voice: "Let's wait until dawn." This is the end of today's operation, my lords, regardless of the situation on the island of Dazhou, you should know by now that our enemies are not good at it. Ladies and gentlemen, if Hainan Raiders wants to achieve Chen Gong, there are still many things we need to do! ”

"Your Excellency, will you still carry out the plan you made before tomorrow?" Tsukahara asked.

Tsukahara is in charge of the air force, and according to the original plan, the air force unit will begin to participate in the landing operation starting tomorrow. Tsuka was originally full of confidence, but after hearing what happened on Ozu Island, he became cautious and had other ideas for tomorrow's actions.

"Let's talk about tomorrow, now, rest. Only when we have rested well and recovered our energy can we better devote ourselves to tomorrow's battle! Yamamoto replied.

Koizumi agrees with Yamamoto's concept. He then said, "Your Excellency, gentlemen, then I will go back first. Yes, we'll see you tomorrow morning! ”

Arima Masamune followed and left. Tsukahara walked to the door, turned around and saw Yamamoto still frowning and standing against the window, he groaned for a moment, turned back and said, "Your Excellency, although you will be upset when you say this, I think what happened on Ozu Island tonight has reminded us that our original battle plan must be changed. Don't you think, Your Excellency? As if he had already calculated that we would attack Hainan Island, Ouyang Yun had already made careful arrangements. Your Excellency, Ouyang Yun is so far-sighted, he will definitely take into account the importance of cities like Wanning in Hainan, and I think that the focus of our operations in the next stage should be to concentrate on gathering intelligence at all costs, so as to seek the weakness of the Scholar Army's defense on Hainan Island. Your Excellency, that's right, our troops and armaments are definitely superior, but the Scholar Army has these two advantages: the geographical advantage and the people - Your Excellency, I think that if you go head-to-head, the Imperial Army is destined to suffer in the case of my open enemy and secret enemy! ”

Tsukahara's words were sincere, Yamamoto Fifty-six was a person with a strong human touch, and he felt warm in his heart when he landed. He smiled and said: "If you want to take Hainan, it is inevitable to fight hard." But as you remind, even then, it's not without skill. What happened on Dazhou Island is a wake-up call for us. At this stage, the collection of intelligence is too important for us, so in the next stage of operations, aviation will be the top priority. Tsukahara-kun, I'm going to work hard for you! As he spoke, he bent down and bowed.

Tsukahara hurriedly got out of the way, bowed down and said, "You are too polite, as a member of the Imperial Navy, this is what I should do." ”

The battle of Dazhou Island was a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese army. The elite of the two brigades of the imperial army actually fed the snake's belly in a daze, which in the eyes of some particularly superstitious devils, this is a warning from heaven and a manifestation of the final result of this Hainan raid.

As for who was hit hardest by the first battle on Dazu Island, it was none other than Koizumi.

Just as Yamamoto had expected, Koizumi himself saw himself as a gift from heaven to Japan. Because of the existence of the emperor, of course, no one dares to describe Koizumi as "the pride of heaven", but in the hearts of some people, Koizumi plays this role.

The Hainan Raiders is Koizumi's debut when he officially enters the military circles. No matter what other people think about this, at least Koizumi himself attaches great importance to this.

exposed Ouyang Yun's identity as a "traverser", and Koizumi once maintained a psychological advantage over him. Although Ouyang Yun appeared in this time and space earlier than him, because Japan has a huge advantage in both national strength and military strength in China and Japan, Koizumi naturally thinks that he will make better achievements than Ouyang Yun. He was so eager to promote the implementation of the Hainan Raiders, and an unknown intention was to show Ouyang Yun his existence through this incident - weren't you Ouyang Yun undefeated before? That's because I'm Koizumi Tonichiro hasn't appeared yet, and now that I'm here, the myth of your Ouyang Yun's undefeated will come to an end, isn't this more able to show your identity as a "proud son of the sky"?

There are two main reasons why Hainan should be taken first, firstly, the current economic strength of Hainan is definitely the worst among Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong, and secondly, because it is surrounded by the sea and far from the inland, it is also more able to give full play to the advantages of the imperial navy. For these reasons, Koizumi looks at the Hainan strategy with a relaxed attitude.

The fact gave him a resounding slap in the face - Hainan may be the worst economy and defense under the control of the Xuebing Army, but it is such a wild land, after Ouyang Yun's hands, it can still cause great trouble for the Imperial Navy. Let's see, even a small island on the continent can make the Imperial Navy lose troops, so if you still insist on Hainan Raid, even if you can really capture Hainan Island, what price will the Imperial Navy pay?

Thinking of this, Koizumi was visibly confused.
