Ida failed to complete the task and returned to Changjiang to report to Sawada Shigeru in despair. He handed back the remaining half of the pack of broadsword cigarettes to Shigeru Sawada's adjutant, and said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, those barbarians are getting more and more excessive, and Inoue was hung up and whipped after just two more glances at a woman. Your Excellency, in the long run, the people of China will gain an inch, but I am afraid, I am afraid—"

As he said this, Sawada's lieutenant was counting the remaining cigarettes in his bag. The Osaka Division has lost supplies to help, and now all the living supplies it needs come from credit, and it has already signed a debt. This pack of cigarettes is also one of the items on credit, which is a special consumable item that only officers above the rank of brigade commander are eligible to consume. And Ida was able to carry a bag today for public relations needs. It's just that he returned empty-handed, and the cigarette was lost in vain. The adjutant counted the cigarettes, just counting the losses this time.

What Ida said, Sawada Shigeru naturally knows. Many people in the Osaka Division thought that it was really the local mountain people who dealt with them, but he knew that they were definitely the elite of the Cadet Army. I regret that I shouldn't have put the Osaka Division in this dangerous situation in order to fight with Yamamoto Fifty-six in the first place. However, who would have thought that the control of Hainan by the student army was so complete, and even that the military and civilians in Hainan were integrated, and they had no chance of dividing and breaking through at all. The Osaka Division is really not good at fighting, and the soldiers' excessive attachment to peace (in fact, they are greedy for life and afraid of death) leads to their defeat in every battle - and Ouyang Yun has obviously discovered this characteristic of the Osaka Division, and then made a decisive move, pinching the two softest things on the Osaka Division at once, and then it's okay. Life is pinched in the hands of the cadet army, and they naturally play with it as they want. Just seeing through this, Sawada Shigeru's idea can be regarded as noble - in order to help the empire save the Osaka Division, what is it to endure humiliation and suffer some grievances? Moreover, as long as the Osaka Division can maintain its military presence in Hainan, then once the empire makes a breakthrough in the direction of Fujian and Guangzhou to encircle Hainan, then the value of the Osaka Division will be immediately reflected.

Shigeru Sawada underestimated the Cadet Army and overestimated the Japanese Army. The Japanese army has always maintained the establishment of the South China Front, and has retained at least three divisions of elite armed forces to stay in Zhejiang, but even though the veteran Matsui Ishine personally led the army, they have not been able to open up the situation for a long time, but have been harassed by the guerrilla tactics of the student army dizzy and exhausted.

Shigeru Sawada's face was gloomy, the light in his eyes flickered, and the chief of staff next to him, Okushima Fangkei, saw it, stepped forward and said, "Ida-kun, you go down first." Since that big mountain said that Shen Gen'er will contact you when he comes back, then you can wait quietly for news. ”

"Hay!" Ida bowed to the two of them and retreated.

When he left, Okushima said to Sawada Shigeru: "Your Excellency, it's really not possible, ask the military department for help." After all, we are only alone, and once the army of students gathers heavy troops, then we are certainly not an adversary. ”

Sawada Shigeru shook his head: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but if it weren't for the attack on the Guards Division, maybe through the mediation of Minister Sakagaki, we might have been able to withdraw completely." But now - Okushima, don't you think it's weird? Why is it that the Cadet Army is always able to predict the prophet and dispatch warplanes to attack our fleet at the right time? If you think about it, we can only leave Hainan by ship, but then we have already offended the Minister of the Admiralty and stood on the front line of the army and navy operations, do you still expect His Excellency Yamamoto to provide a strong escort fleet for our retreat? Although I don't know what kind of intentions Ouyang Yun has for us, I am sure that if we evacuate now, I am afraid that it will be even worse than now. Okushima, we haven't worked together for a long time, but you also know that I am a person of a major situation, and for the sake of the nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division, let's endure the humiliation and hold on for a while. ”

"But the supply is not enough, if the base camp doesn't supply us again, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we will collapse without a fight-"

"Go ahead and give credit to the people of China. You also know the situation of the troops, as long as the Xuebing Army dispatches one division, it is estimated that it will be able to annihilate us completely, but that single man has been holding his troops for a long time, he should have received some instructions from Ouyang Yun and what he was planning. However, what else is there to plan for our Osaka Division? This time, you personally went out to talk to the people of China, and you must owe another ten tons of rice on credit to save the emergency. In addition, the order is to be ordered to cut the supply of military rations by half for everyone from tomorrow, and the officers are no exception! ”

Okushima sighed and said, "That's all there is to it. ”

Okushima packed his bags and was preparing to go to the town of Nanibo the next day to discuss the matter with the representatives of the Cadet Army, when the Osaka Division finally received a telegram from Japan that night. The devil messenger who received the radio signal was overjoyed when he realized that it was a telegram from Japan, but when he deciphered the contents, he cursed again and again, looking dejected.

The telegram was sent by the Combined Fleet to Shigeru Sawada in the name of Yamamoto, and after more than two weeks of rescue by several of the Japanese Navy's most brilliant doctors, Koizumi Toshiichiro was finally pulled back from the Yellow Springs Road. Although he will henceforth be a cripple and will lose his basic function as a man, he is alive after all. Yamamoto was overjoyed, and immediately put down other things at hand and rushed over to visit. And what moved the old devil extremely was that the first thing Koizumi said when he saw him was to ask if he had used Seiichiro Kuroda to smuggle electronic components to the Cadet Army.

The raid by Jiang Yonggang and others not only destroyed the Kaga to the point of insignificance, but also made Yamamoto 56 aware of the various shortcomings of the combined fleet's active system. During this time, he was busy reorganizing the army, and he had to pay attention to the development of several cutting-edge weapons that Koizumi was responsible for, and he also had to exchange opinions with the bigwigs of the military department on the phone, trying to persuade them to agree to launch a general attack on the student army.

Unexpectedly, Koizumi just came to his senses and cared about this matter, Yamamoto couldn't help but feel sad at the same time, and said angrily: "Your task now is to recuperate from your injuries, and only by recovering your health can you better serve the empire." I'll arrange for someone else to do those things. ”

This attack hit Koizumi hard. As a traverser, he knows the history of World War II in Japan, and knows that in the real history, Chinese have never appeared in Japan itself. But now, they have all killed the lair of the navy, and what does this mean? This shows that Ouyang Yun has completed the process of transforming from a small butterfly to a hurricane, which makes him feel more and more urgent to develop science and technology.

He didn't know that he had lost his basic ability as a man, so although he was missing half a leg and his body was injured, he was still psychologically normal. He thanked Yamamoto for his care and re-emphasized the importance of electronic components to Japan. And because of his insistence, Yamamoto asked Soma to bring Kuroda to Koizumi's hospital room, and decided to deal with this matter first.
