The next day, a ray of light appeared at the junction of the sea and the sky in the east, and Onizuka Shomuro, who was sitting on a chair, opened his eyes." I actually fell asleep! He whispered self-deprecatingly, standing up and stretching.

Adjutant Matsushita Ren had already waited outside early, nodded at Onizuka through the glass, pushed open the door and slowly walked in.

"Aikawa-kun's remains must be found!" Onizuka said, "However, we don't know how many people are ambushed on the island. It seems that the only way to ask for help from the aviation is to ask. ”

"Your Excellency, I'll let Captain Noma send a telegram."

"Also, help me call Sama Shaosa."

"Hay!" Matsushita Ren bowed and retreated. Five minutes later, Sama walked in. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, what are your orders?" ”

"From now on, the Kurata Wing is under your command. Go and prepare, it won't be long before we launch another landing battle! The remains of the Imperial Army soldiers who died in battle must always be recovered. ”

"Hay!"

At around seven o'clock, on the deck of the "Kaga", Tsukahara 243 personally sent the Yamabegawa Sankey to a Type 1003 fighter No. 99. As one of the few ace pilots in the Combined Fleet Air Force, Yamabegawa Sankey is no longer easy to carry out such a reconnaissance mission that is not very difficult. However, what happened on Ozu Island last night was so weird that in order to find out, Yamamoto personally ordered his general.

Tsukahara attached great importance to this reconnaissance mission, and personally conveyed the order to the mountain, and personally sent him on the fighter plane.

Yamabe was not interested in this new prefect who had parachuted in, but he was very touched by the fact that Tsukahara attached so much importance to himself. "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the pilot who was able to shoot me down hasn't been born yet!" He said this to Tsukahara, and then pulled down the hatch.

In the face of his confident words, Tsukahara stood on the deck and gave him a military salute.

As soon as 1003 rose to more than a kilometer, inside the Wuzhishan radar station, Fang Xueliang immediately picked up the phone and called the military department. Shan Xiong received the report, and said to Brother Guo Lai with a smile: "It must be Dazhou Island, hehe, I don't know what kind of expression Yamamoto Fifty-six will have when he gets detailed information and learns that there are only snakes on the island." ”

"Do you want to send Blue Volcano to meet them?"

"Of course, if the little devil wants to cross the border to reconnoitre, he must be expelled."

Blue Volcano is the commander-in-chief of the Hainan Air Force. At this time, he was taking a group of pilots to do a morning class, and after receiving a call from Brother Kuanglai, he immediately sent two white-sided dolphins to fly in the direction of Dazhou Island.

The Kaga is only about 30 kilometers away from Ozu Island, and at a speed of more than 570 kilometers per hour in the 99 style, it arrived in a few minutes.

Onizuka wanted to know the secret of Dazu Island too much, he paid close attention to 1003, watching it first maintain an altitude of more than two thousand meters and fly around Dazhou Island, and then reduce the height step by step, until it dropped to a height of three or four hundred meters and flew around the mountains of Dazhou Island, his heart beat faster, and he was actually more nervous than Yamabe himself.

Ten minutes later, nothing happened, and 1003 pulled up again and left. Onizuka couldn't help but feel a little disappointed - there was no anti-aircraft gunfire, and 1003 did not attack, was it that the people of China on Ozu Island were too well hidden, and 1003 did not find the slightest thing, or was there no one on the island at all? If there were no hidden troops on the island, could it be said that all the officers and soldiers killed on the island last night were actually buried in Shekou? In that case, last night would not have been a defeat but an accident-Onitsuka thought, feeling extremely complicated.

1003 landed lightly on the flight deck of the "Kaga" under the maneuvering of Yamanbe, who pushed open the hatch and stood up from his seat, greeted by the thumbs up of the lead pilot: "Your Excellency Yamanbe, beautiful!" ”

Yamabe's expression was tense. Tsukahara greeted him, and he couldn't wait to ask Yayamabe, who was walking down the gangway, "What did you find?" ”

Yamanbe gritted his teeth and spit out a line of words: "Snakes, the island is full of snakes!" ”

"What?"

"Judging by my experience, there are absolutely no people on the island!" Yamabe added, "Your Excellency, we have been tricked by the Shina people. No, or, we fooled ourselves! ”

"All snakes? Could it be that Dazu Island is a snake island at all?! Tsukahara asked, the expression on his face suddenly becoming weird.

Not only him, but also Yamamoto Isoroku, Koizumi Toshiichiro, Arima Masafumi and others After hearing this report, their expressions were strange, and no one expressed any opinion for a long time.

Shame, I was so angry that I was entangled with a group of long worms for most of the night, and I paid a great sacrifice. If this matter is reported back to China, what will those army bigwigs in the base camp think of this matter?

Koizumi Toshiichiro deserved to come from the next generation, he was the first to react, he glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Yabu is definitely wrong, how can a group of snakes defeat the heavily armed Imperial Army?" This is simply a conspiracy of the China! I thought those snakes were kept in captivity by the Chi Na people! The people of China have always been chattering, and there may be snake repellent masters among them. I've heard that in Indochina, there are people who can tame even a venomous snake like the king cobra. ”

Koizumi's words reminded the others, and except for Yamamoto, the others echoed their words, and soon reached an agreement, blaming Onizuka for last night's defeat, believing that it was Onizuka's carelessness that caused the attacking troops to fall into the siege of the Shina people, which caused the Marines to suffer such a large battle loss.

Since the responsibility belongs to the ghost mound, it is natural to dispose of it to show that the imperial army is strictly disciplined. Of course, for unknown reasons, the disposition had to be just right, so Koizumi took the initiative and telegraphed the whole army in the name of Yamamoto: "On the night of the 12th, Major General Onizuka should take the main responsibility for the defeat of Ozu Island in the first battle. However, considering that the decisive battle was imminent, the Marine Corps did not have a more suitable commander, so he was allowed to continue to command the troops despite his guilt and meritorious service. I hope that Major General Onizuka will be able to learn a lesson and learn from it in his subsequent commands-to! Commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto. ”

Because it is not known for a reason, although Onizuka repeatedly sent a telegram to Tsukahara 243 to obtain reconnaissance information on Ozu Island, the latter used various excuses to shirk it.

At around a quarter past eight, after the study of Yamamoto Fifty-six and others, the combined fleet's offensive against Wanning finally started again. One fighter after another took off from the "Kaga" and "Soryu", and the next moment, they formed two formations in the upper left of the fleet, and then flew towards Wanning.

On the morning of the 13th, after being silent in the second half of the night, the battle broke out again in the sea, land and air space of Wanning, Hainan.
