Chapter 173 Energized Commendation

Kaga. Yamamoto woke up fifty-six slowly, and he had suffered blows in the past few days, and Rao was as strong as iron, but he couldn't bear it. He struggled to get off the ground, but was immediately stopped by Sanada: "Your Excellency, the doctor told you to rest in bed. ”

"Help me up!" Yamamoto said in an unquestioning tone.

Sanada didn't dare to disobey and helped him up.

"Where's Koizumi?"

"He's out there with Tsukahara."

"Call them in."

"Hay."

Koizumi and Tsukahara walked in, both looking haggard. They first saluted Yamamoto and then asked about some information. Yamamoto looked at Koizumi, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said, "Koizumi, this time the Hainan strategy is only afraid that it will fail." ”

Koizumi said respectfully: "It's not at the moment, no matter what, the Osaka Division has successfully landed and captured Changjiang City. If we can develop Changjiang Castle into a stronghold, we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop the next time we visit. ”

"Don't kid yourself, don't you know the strength of the Osaka Division? Can they hold Changjiang? Tsukahara-kun! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander?" Tsukahara bent down and bowed his head, complying with a respectful voice.

"The air raids haven't stopped, have they? I remember that we had three more days of ammunition. ”

"I'm sorry, it's stopped."

"What time is it?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Let's organize an air raid, be stronger. Sanada, you go and send a telegram to Lieutenant General Sawada, inform him of the news that we are evacuating, ask him to immediately integrate his troops, and then leave with us in the evening. ”

"Hay!" Tsukahara and Sanada answered one after another, and then left in turn. Tsutsuhara glanced at Koizumi as he passed by, and there was a hint of encouragement in his eyes. Koizumi nodded at him without a trace.

"Commander, are you really okay?" Koizumi walked towards Yamamoto, and the mother stopped him, and asked softly.

"What can it be? It's just that I can't accept it for a while. ”

"Your Excellency, I have something to report to you, two hours ago, I sent a telegram to the military headquarters."

"What?" Yamamoto's eyebrows were raised, looking very excited.

Koizumi lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "I'm sorry, without your consent-" As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "But, Your Excellency, I don't think we can afford to lose such a good navigator as you under the current situation." The existence of these guys of the Osaka Division will only become a laughing stock and a burden to the empire. But you are different, I dare not imagine, if you are not in the Navy, then there is a future for the Imperial Navy? Your Excellencyβ€”"

The more Koizumi spoke, the more excited he became, and his words became more and more extreme. Yamamoto's brows furrowed deeply, he pushed Koizumi's hand away, stared into his eyes and interrupted, "Koizumi, you are wrong. First of all, I'm not as great as you think. Secondly, regardless of the combat strength of the Osaka Division, they are soldiers of the Empire after all, and in this regard, any of them are actually no different from me. The empire has little impact on me alone, but if you lose 20,000 people in the Osaka Division at the same time, do you know what kind of monstrous shock this will cause? Koizumi, there are some things that are not as simple as you think......" Yamamoto said, his emotions slowly calming down, "This thing can still be saved, I will generate electricity for the base camp." ”

After he said this, he was about to call out to Sanada, when Sanada walked in with a strange look on his face. Bowing slightly towards Yamamoto, he presented the folder and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, the new telegram from the base camp and Lieutenant General Sawada." ”

Yamamoto took the folder and saw the telegram from the base camp first. It was actually a telegram of commendation, but the object of the commendation was the Osaka Division. The telegram reads: Just a week after the establishment of the Hainan Land Command, the Osaka Division captured Changjiang, an important town in the southwest of Qiong, and gathered heavy troops to surround Baisha...... At the end of the telegram, there was a mention of the Combined Fleet, but it was a quick return. After reading this telegram, Yamamoto glared at Koizumi angrily. He then looked at the telegram sent by Shigeru Sawada, and as he looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but widen. Raising his head, he glared at Sanada and asked, "Is this telegram really from Lieutenant General Sawada?" ”

Sanada replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

"Go and bring me the original telegram."

"Hay."

Sanada left quickly, and Yamamoto suddenly glared at Koizumi and shouted: "Hachige, it's too nonsense, do you know that in this way, the Osaka division may be wiped out by the Shina people?" Koizumi, you have disappointed me so much. As an imperial soldier, for your own selfishness, you actually entrap friendly soldiers like this, how is it different from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? ”

On the deck below, the roar of the plane's engine suddenly sounded, and in the midst of this loud noise, Koizumi stood quietly and silently.

A Type 99 fighter roared into the blue sky, and Sanada walked up to Yamamoto with the original text of the telegram, but Yamamoto did not reach out to take it. He suddenly seemed to be ten years old, and said dejectedly: "The matter has come to this, and that can only be like this." On my orders, at nine o'clock in the evening, we returned home. ”

At about 3:20 p.m., Changjiang went to Nanqinghe, Donghe Town, 12 kilometers west-south, and two students in full camouflage watched more than 300 devils running towards the coast from a distance of 100 kilometers.

Such a scene not only occurred in Donghe Town, but also in the southwest coast of Changjiang and the southeast coast of Ledong, and many cadet reconnaissance teams detected this scene. They reacted to Lu Shang layer by layer, and soon, Yang Chuntai and Ye Chengyan learned about it. The two men summarized the intelligence and concluded that this was an orderly and large-scale transfer of Japanese troops, but the reason for the transfer was really puzzling. They telegraphed the situation to the command of the Western Front, requesting instructions on the next course of action.

Chang Geng received the telegram and immediately reported to Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun inquired about the current situation of the Osaka Division, and learned that the devils in the department were all standing still, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

Yang Chuntai and Ye Chengyan's two divisions crossed several towns occupied by the Osaka Division and appeared on the southwest coast, and their mission was originally to snipe the marines belonging to the Combined Fleet, but now that the devils of the marines have all withdrawn, this naturally makes them wonder: What does the little devil want to do?

Sniping at the Marines within the range of the combined fleet's large-caliber naval guns, thereby isolating the Osaka Division, although Ouyang Yun's established strategy could be achieved, it would definitely have to pay a huge price in casualties. However, because of the presence of Marines, the cost should be acceptable. The reason why Ouyang Yun dared to make such a bold stroke was precisely for this point. Therefore, when he learned that the devil marines in the coastal area had withdrawn one after another, he couldn't help but suspect that the lurking troops had been detected by the little devils, who were clearing their own troops for artillery bombardment. In that case, it would be possible for these two divisions to be annihilated under the double-barreled bombardment of naval guns and fighters.

Ouyang Yun and Chang Geng thought about it, and finally did not dare to take risks, and immediately called Yang Chuntai and Ye Chengyan, asking them to immediately lead the troops to retreat.

The troops on both sides were retreating, but only the Osaka Division, which was kept in the dark, stood still.

The atmosphere of the Hainan battlefield is getting weirder and weirder.
