Chapter 176: The Last Madness
Yesterday afternoon's air raids were sudden and intense. Japanese air raids generally occur around 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. This time, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. And because there were no air raids at 10 o'clock or 1 o'clock, the air defense units in Baisha and other places behaved a little laxly, and even did not sound the air defense siren until enemy planes appeared in the field of vision.
A swarm of Japanese fighters roared from the sea area around Hachisho Port, and Yang Chuntai and Yecheng Yan, who were evacuating to the rear, were surprised, thinking of the evacuation of the little devils, they naturally thought that the target of the little devils was them.
More than 20,000 people were scattered on two main roads that were only about 800 meters apart, and if the little devils came to bombard intensively, it would be chilling to think about. After exchanging opinions through walkie-talkies, the two division commanders Yang and Ye made a unanimous decision: Regardless of whether the devil fighters have discovered them or not, they will hide themselves first.
"Hide first, if you really can't fight!"
The good discipline of the cadet corps and the concealment function of the camouflage uniforms played a key role at this time, and more than 20,000 cadet soldiers hid on the spot under the command of the officers, and they were stunned to hide the cluster of enemy planes that rumbled in the sky.
The lack of reconnaissance on the ground made Yamabegawa Sanjian, who was in charge of commanding the bombing, not realize that on the ground, three thousand meters below the fighter group, more than 20,000 cadets were lurking in fields, small ditches, and woods.
When carrying out today's air raid mission, the mountains did not know that this would be their worst madness. Baisha and Qiongzhong were the key bombing targets, and they went straight to these two places, neglecting to do reconnaissance along the way, and then began a crazy show under the limited ground anti-aircraft fire.
In view of the characteristics of the Combined Fleet and the Osaka Division, which are fighting separately, the current strategy adopted by the Cadet Corps is to resolutely fight one and give in to a limited extent. Therefore, since the establishment of the Hainan Land Command of the Japanese Army, the air defense units in Baisha and Qiongzhong have surfaced and begun to resolutely counterattack.
Enemy planes swooped down with a sharp whistle, and bomb after bomb fell on the air defense positions and suspicious targets near Baisha City. The sound of explosions was heard one after another, and Ouyang Yun, Chang Geng and the others hid in the underground bunker of the headquarters, but their faces showed a relaxed look. The target of the little devils is not the lurking troops along the coast, and it doesn't matter how frequent the bombardment is. No matter how powerful the little devil air force is, if it wants to reap the results, it always depends on the ground forces. And with the Nagasaki supply fleet suffering heavy losses, the presence of the combined fleet in Hainan has entered the countdown. What Ouyang Yun is most worried about now is whether the Osaka Division will follow suit.
"Deputy military seat, the telegram just sent by Division Commander Yang, they have withdrawn to the area of Wang Xiaxiang. Division Commander Yang asked whether to continue to retreat or lurk on the spot. ”
Ouyang Yun turned around and walked to the map, found the location of Wang Xiaxiang, and said to Chang Geng: "Since the target of the devil fighter is not them, then, let them lurk on the spot." The distance between Wang Xiaxiang and Changjiang to Hachisho Port is about the same, and with the speed of our soldiers' advance, if both sides set off at the same time, they will definitely be able to arrive in advance. ”
The reason why Ouyang Yun let them break into the Osaka Division and the coastline was to prevent the Osaka Division from escaping at a critical time. Therefore, the distance between them and Hachisho Port, the landing site of the Japanese army, should not be too far, at least not too far from Hachisho Port of the Osaka Division. Otherwise, once the little devils suddenly open the way, then they will not be able to launch an encirclement and annihilation war, but can only fight a chase and escape war.
Chang Geng turned around and looked at the map and said, "Commander-in-chief, I agree with your point of view. Then he said to the staff officer who came to report: "Call back, tell Yang Chuntai and Ye Chengyan, let them lurk in the area of Wangxia Township, and in addition, maintain a reconnaissance presence in the southwest and southeast." As soon as there is any new discovery, report it to Command. ”
"Yes!"
This round of Japanese bombardment lasted about twenty minutes. When the last group of devil fighters left the battlefield and flew towards the southwest, Ouyang Yun and Chang Geng walked out of the underground bunker and stood at the gate of the headquarters to watch the enemy planes leave. Chang Geng said: "The little devils can still maintain an air attack of this intensity, don't they know that the Nagasaki supply fleet was attacked by our army?" ”
Ouyang Yun was also a little puzzled. And at about 9:50 p.m., he finally understood the reason.
The Dahuajiao radar station had been monitoring the signs of the Combined Fleet, and when he discovered that the Combined Fleet had suddenly left the waters of Hachisho Port and was heading east, Duhin immediately reported to Solo Xiong. Because the left-behind fleet stranded in the vicinity of Dazhou Island also began to move eastward, Solo Xiong felt that the little devil's action was extremely suspicious, and immediately reported to Ouyang Yun.
"The little devil wants to escape!" Ouyang Yun immediately made a judgment.
"But there is no sign of the Osaka Division's withdrawal?" Chang Geng said incomprehensibly. In order to monitor the movements of the Osaka Division, he sent a company of scouts to the Changjiang area, so many elites in the army, with the combat strength of the Osaka Division, it was impossible to quietly clear them. Changjiang is forty or fifty kilometers away from Hachisho Port in a straight line, and if the Osaka Division really wants to evacuate, it will have to act at least five hours in advance. Five hours was enough time for the scouts to report the information.
Ouyang Yun didn't answer his words, he calmly ordered: "Immediately give an order to Yang Chuntai and Ye Chengyan and let them advance towards the area of Bashogang." Don't worry about the ambush of the little devils, without the support of naval artillery and aviation, the devil marines, who lack enough heavy weapons, are simply vulnerable. ”
"Yes, I'll go and send electricity to Yang Chuntai and them."
"Bian Jingdao!"
"Commander-in-Chief!" Bian Jingdao should take two steps forward.
"Go and call Li Senran."
"Yes!"
After these days of recovery, Li Senran's injuries have healed ninety percent. When he appeared in front of Ouyang Yun again, his face was ruddy, his eyes were sharp, and he already had the temperament of a soldier king. Walking up to Ouyang Yun, he stood up and saluted: "Commander-in-chief!" ”
Ouyang Yun looked at him twice, smiled and said, "Take a break!" Will be well raised. What do you think? Can you get an armed off-road 5km now? ”
Li Senran replied honestly: "I don't know what to do." ”
Ouyang Yun ran: "There is a task for you." It may be life-threatening, dare not take it. ”
Standing upright again, holding his head high, Li Senran replied loudly: "As long as it is an order, resolutely carry it out." ”
"Good. Well, let's go for a walk over there," Ouyang Yun said, walking towards a nearby glade. Li Senran followed, Bian Jingdao and You Xiaolian also followed, but they were stopped by Ouyang Yun. He glanced at Li Senran and smiled: "With Xiao Li following me, what are you worried about?" ”
Bian Jingdao wanted to say that he was worried because he was following us, but after glancing at You Xiaolian, the two of them stopped with a wry smile.
Li Senran's heart was not as calm as it appeared to be. After experiencing life and death, he realized the preciousness of Professor Ouyang Yun's special warfare knowledge. When he thought that Ouyang Yun was only one or two years older than him, but he was in such a high position and had such a wealth of actual combat experience, his scalp was a little numb.
