The weather in July is changing, the sky was clear just now, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the sky became cloudy, and then the wind blew up.

Yamabegawa looked at the fuel scale and whispered to himself, "My perseverance should have been rewarded with expectations!" As he spoke, he picked up the fighter plane, turned a corner, and flew towards the sea where the fleet was anchored. Seeing this, the other pilots followed the plane and flew away. And after they left, a scene that Yamabe didn't expect appeared-all the people of the Osaka Division who were still in a fighting state just now, except for Sawada Shigeru and the officers and soldiers directly under the division headquarters who surrounded him, everyone else actually ignored the change in the weather and sat on the ground. And among them, there are many people who hold their throats and vomit.

If Yamabe and his men had participated in the battle just now, the Osaka Division would not have died so many people at all. After Xue Dehuai led his team to rush out of the hiding place, he rushed towards the Japanese army, precisely to create a melee scene so that they could throw a mouse trap. Little did he know that the main responsibility of the Yamabe was not to participate in and lead the battle.

In this way, Yamamoto wanted to adapt the officers and men of the Osaka Division to the bloody battles and awaken in them the courage that is unique to the Yamato nation. Judging from the scene just now, it seems that his goal has been achieved, but what the effect will be is still unknown until the next battle begins.

"It's going to rain!" Shigeru Sawada looked up at the sky, and then said to a few of his subordinates.

"Let's go to Qifang Town to take shelter from the rain," an adjutant suggested.

"Clean up the battlefield first, and bury the people of China."

"Your Excellency, this matter must not be settled like this, we are only being borrowed temporarily, and even if Yamamoto Isoroku is the Minister of the Navy, he will not-" Chief of Staff Okushima Fangqing said hatefully, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sawada. Sawada glared at him fiercely and said, "Okushima-kun, it's useless to talk about this now. Now we belong to the command of the Navy, so let's not talk about what happened afterwards. Moreover, Commander Yamamoto is not wrong, and we can only blame ourselves for being too uncompetitive. ”

"It's just that this guy Yamabegawa Sanjian is too blind. Your Excellency, in any case, you are a lieutenant general, and he is a ......."

"Well, don't say anything if it doesn't work. With this kung fu, you should think carefully about how you can avoid today's scene from happening again. It's one thing for us to make such a beautiful attack ourselves, but if we are under the pressure of the Combined Fleet Air Regiment, we will build up a great feat, and at the end we will only make a wedding dress for others. ”

"But—"

"Don't be, Yamabegawa Sankey, I remember this name!"

"Hay!"

Yamanbe flew over Sawada's head several times in his 1003, which was a great insult to Sawada. A lieutenant general teased a young man, once this kind of thing spreads, he doesn't want to mix in the army anymore.

A brigade of devils was sent out to clean up the battlefield, and the other devils began to form a team under the command of the commander. Looking at the corpses of the soldiers who were set on fire not far away, Sawada waved his hand to drive the others away, and then whispered to Okushima: "We must not let those guys from the aviation regiment follow me anymore, in that case, we will not be able to use any tactics at all." It takes courage to fight a war, but it also requires wisdom. Okushima, do you understand what I mean? ”

Okushima understands it. With fighters overhead, all troops can only maintain a forward offensive posture, which is not only a problem of not being able to use tactics, but the most serious thing is that once they encounter the main force of the Cadet Army, then they will be ready-made cannon fodder. Since the birth of the Osaka Division, it has never had to turn other units into its own cannon fodder on the battlefield, and when has it encountered such a situation? Although Yamamoto Isoroku's excuse is high-sounding and the means are concealed enough, his real intentions cannot be concealed from Sawada Shigeru and Okushima, the old and the young. No matter how poor the Osaka Division is, there are more than 20,000 people, even if they can't kill a single student army, at least they can consume a large amount of ammunition from the other side. And because of the existence of superior aviation units, once the cadet army really has a heart for the fat of the Osaka Division, then they will be greeted by overwhelming bombing and intensive strafing. If the Osaka Division is sacrificed, it can inflict heavy damage on the student army, and at that time, the marines will be able to reap the final results without much effort.

"Your Excellency, I will now go and send a telegram of good news and apply for an independent battle."

"It's not an application, it's a notification. Now that we are on land, then everything will go according to the procedures of the army. At the same time, Okushima, you sent a telegram to His Excellency Sakagaki, saying that we need his wise guidance. ”

"Hay!"

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Osaka Division, led by Sawada Shigeru, left the battlefield of Qifang Town and turned to Qingsong Township to march, in an office of the Qiongzhong City Government, Ouyang Yun looked at a deciphered telegram presented by Pan Meiren and fell into meditation.

This telegram was sent by Tonichiro Koizumi in the name of Yamamoto to the Governor of Taiwan, Kobayashi Tatsuzo. The telegram asked Kobayashi to organize ships to deliver supplies to the Combined Fleet, and the last part of the telegram specifically reminded Kobayashi to pay attention to the aviation units of the Scholar Army.

The significance of intercepting this telegram to the Xuebing Army is self-evident, even if there is no reminder of the text at the end of the telegram, Ouyang Yun will definitely let Tie Linfei organize fighters to carry out air strikes, and the reason why he is meditating on the telegram now is to find out Yamamoto's motive for sending this telegram to Xiaolin.

"The Combined Fleet needs to be restocked, and apparently Yamamoto wants to extend the detention of the Combined Fleet in the waters of Hainan. But why did he want to prolong his stay? Is it because he noticed the arrangement of our army in the southwest of Qiongnan and realized that this battle would be more difficult? If this is the case, then will our army have to adjust accordingly? The Combined Fleet may destroy the current layout of the single hero, and the means that can be relied on is the aviation force, so should an air force be transferred over? ”

Ouyang Yun was meditating with all his heart, Pan Meiren went and returned, she stood behind him, and said while helping him knead his shoulders: "Big brother, Baoshan, the commander of the Hainan Self-Defense Force, is here, do you want him to wait for a while or let him in now." ”

The position of "Commander of the Hainan Self-Defense Forces" was newly sealed by Ouyang Yun, and he opened his eyes and said, "Let him in." ”

Pan Meiren pinched it twice and went out. Soon, she walked in with a middle-aged man about forty years old and an extremely burly figure.

Ouyang Yun had already stood up, he didn't wait for Pan Meiren's introduction, greeted him with a smile, stretched out his hands to Baoshan and said, "Commander-in-Chief Baoshan, I've been looking up for a long time!" ”

In Baoshan's heart, Ouyang Yun was a big man of the same level as those governors in the past. The big man took the initiative to greet him, which flattered him, and he shouted: "Baoshan has seen an adult," stepped forward, and couldn't help but want to bow down and bow half-kneel.

Ouyang Yun hurriedly held him up. He smiled and said: "Commander Baoshan is welcome, we are now a family, I am far younger than you, but I don't deserve such a big gift from you!" ”

"My lord—"

"Commander-in-Chief," Pan Meiren reminded softly.

Baoshan immediately came to his senses, he laughed twice, and said: "Commander-in-chief, I'm really sorry, I used to shout smoothly, and I forgot that you Xuebing Army is not called this kind of name." ”

Ouyang Yun pulled him to sit down on the chair and said, "You Xuebing Army, Commander Baoshan, your words can be seen. Flattering, pour tea. ”

"Ugh."

Baoshan scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Yes, yes, I didn't say it right, I forgot that I was also a cadet." ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Commander Baoshan, I have heard all your deeds from Commander Shan. Thank you for everything you have done for the Self-Defense Forces, and I am relieved that the Self-Defense Forces are led by you. ”

"My lord, no, Commander-in-Chief, it is my honor to do something for the Cadet Army. I can see that the Cadet Army is different from the troops of the imperial court in the past......"

Although the activities of the fox pupil in Hainan are not strong, Baoshan, as the local head snake, has still been submitted to the general headquarters in great detail, so Ouyang Yun knows everything about him very well. Baoshan is not a good person, but he has a characteristic, that is, once he feels that you can make friends, he will trust him with life and death. Mastering this characteristic, Ouyang Yun's words and deeds were all right medicine, so he quickly got along with him very well.

Ouyang Yun came to Baoshan in the hope that he could directly incorporate the Self-Defense Forces into the command system of the Fifth Army, while Baoshan came in the hope of getting the support of the Army's firearms and equipment, so that the Self-Defense Forces could be reborn into an armed force in the true sense.

Both sides have their own needs and rely on each other, and the most important thing is that Baoshan has a good impression of the student army, so after some testing on both sides, they happily entered the topic.

The meeting lasted about forty minutes, and because Baoshan had "happily" accepted Ouyang Yun's appointment, it was easy to reach a consensus. The Cadet Corps has been given command of the Self-Defense Forces, and the Self-Defense Forces will enjoy the same treatment as the Self-Defense Forces in Guangdong, Fujian, and other places. In order to show that the Cadet Army cares for ethnic minorities, the Cadet Army Government will fund the construction of schools and the erection of power facilities in the forts of several ethnic minorities.

This meeting was very pleasant, and this was also the first achievement of Ouyang Yun's second visit to Hainan. After settling the relationship between the self-defense forces, he became more confident in winning the battle of defense. After all the armed forces in Hainan are unified with the command system, the Japanese army will not only face nearly 80,000 cadet troops (more than 60,000 army, nearly 20,000 navy), but also more than 3 million Hainan people.
