Li Senran made a miraculous return. not only solved the problem of the Japanese squad that plagued the single male these days, but also captured Sawada Shigeru's nephew, which in Ouyang Yun's opinion is simply "God help me". Later that day, in the temporary headquarters of the Western Front, he and the commanders of the Western Front sat in front of the strategic sand table in the southwest of Qiongxi to discuss the next course of action.

Ouyang Yun first said his brand new idea: "Everyone, I want to keep the Osaka Division in Hainan, what do you think? ”

These words were earth-shattering, except for Chang Geng, who already knew what he had in mind, everyone else was dumbfounded. Someone said, "Commander-in-Chief, please be specific. ”

Ouyang Yun nodded: "Based on the information we currently have, the winner or loser of this battle has already been decided. The failure of the Japanese plot is certain. However, just because you repel them this time doesn't mean you can repel them next time. For us, there is actually a great opportunity in front of us, and that is the Osaka Division. You've seen the combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division, right? Yamamoto Fifty-six probably didn't expect this elite of the imperial army to be so vulnerable, so instead of waiting for the little devil to send other divisions over next time, it is better to let the Osaka division stay in Hainan to obtain the name of occupying Hainan for them. ”

The Osaka Division used his performance to teach a vivid lesson to the generals of the Cadet Army present here: It turns out that Japan also has an army similar to the local troops of the Central Army? Chang Geng was afraid that everyone would not understand, and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division determines that they will only take a defensive position if they stay in Hainan, and as long as we use it properly, this unit will become an excellent shield." At that time, even if the Japanese army base camp realized this and wanted to send other divisions over, as long as we did it properly, they would be jealous because of the Osaka division. ”

This is to put it bluntly, if the Osaka Division is in Hainan, it will be left to the kneading of the cadet army, which means that the cadet army will fully grasp the initiative. Ouyang Yun continued: "Next, the formulation of our strategic strategy will revolve around this center - ruthlessly knock out the combined fleet, and gently welcome the Osaka Division in. To achieve this goal, there are two major problems that need to be solved, the first is to grasp the degree. Although the combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division is not very good, it has 20,000 men after all. If so many devils are allowed in, if one is not handled well, not only will the oil and mining industries, which we focus on protecting, be exposed, but also may cause other undesirable consequences. In addition, the combined fleet ships have a clear advantage in naval guns and aviation, and if we want to drive them away, we have to take other routes...... The best way to do this is to be able to get a tacit understanding with the Osaka Division. Reaching a tacit understanding with the enemy may sound like a fantasy, but it's not impossible. We now have in our hands a very good lobbyist - the nephew of the commander of the Osaka Division. It's unclear what their relationship is with their uncle and nephew, but it's definitely worth trying......"

At the meeting, Ouyang Yun did not mention how to take other routes to deal with the United Fleet, but in fact, the Cadet Army Air Force led by Tie Linfei was already executing.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning of the 24th, at Guangzhou's Baiyunshan Airport, under the command of the ground navigator, one silver fighter plane after another took off into the air, and the huge roar of the plane's engine startled all kinds of birds and birds in the forest near the airport, and half an hour later, all 60 fighters were lifted into the air.

It was Xue Changkong who was in charge of commanding this combat mission. After he took off in a Flying Fortress numbered 0008, the other fighters were immediately organized into three groups under his command, and then 24 White-sided Dolphins took the lead, 24 other bombers of various types were in the center, and 12 Flying Fortresses were the last.

Soon after Xue Changkong took off, he opened a communication channel with ground communication stations, which were responsible for providing information on Taiwan's supply fleet obtained from Dahuajiao, and after they provided this information to Xue Changkong, Xue Changkong adjusted the course of the fighter group accordingly and flew to the predetermined combat site at cruising speed.

Kobayashi's supply fleet this time included a heavy cruiser, two frigates, and forty-three supply ships. The commander of the supply fleet was Osami Osakami Oshikai, the captain of the heavy cruiser "Kako". As soon as the fleet left the Dongsha Islands, it was captured by the Dahuajiao radar station of the Cadet Corps, and after this information was transmitted to the Air Force Command, the combat group, which had been preparing for a long time, quickly took off, and then the air raid against the fleet, codenamed "Broken Cooking," officially began.

What happened in the air hundreds of miles away, Chengmei in the castle could not know. At this moment, he stayed in the captain's room of the "Kako", looking around at the vast blue sea and sighed to the adjutant Tetsuaki Sakurai: "We will be able to rush to Hainan in three days, and it is really a pity that we were not able to participate in this battle." ”

Tetsuaki Sakurai said with a smiling face: "Although we arrived late, we can be regarded as witnessing this battle." If Commander Yamamoto had just taken Hainan when we arrived, we would have been lucky. ”

Sakurai is still too young, Castle thought so, and said quietly on his face: "It won't be so fast, if it goes well, Commander Yamamoto will definitely not ask His Excellency Kobayashi to send supplies." And as far as I know, the supply fleet in Nagasaki has also departed. When the combined fleet goes into battle, the combat readiness materials are enough for at least a week's large-scale combat consumption, and most of the ammunition we have transported this time does not explain the problem. I just don't know if Commander Lu Dao will temporarily recruit us to participate in the war. ”

Sakurai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Your Excellency, is the Shina person so powerful?" Isn't their navy already completely destroyed in Dongshan? ”

"When we get there, we'll know the way."

"Oh!"

Chengmei's words in the city failed to answer the admonition, where to Hainan. Only three hours passed, and they learned the power of the student army.

When the first white-sided dolphin fighter on a search mission appeared in the eyes of the lookout of the "Kagu", this little devil thought that it was a fighter sent by the Combined Fleet to meet them, and happily passed on the information.

When the news reached Chengmei's ears, he looked at the chart and said to Sakurai: "No, we are still nearly 400 kilometers away from Hainan." ”

At this time, the white-sided dolphins had already flown close to the fleet, and it swept at a low altitude of about a thousand meters to the right of the fleet, and then flew back along the way.

Seeing the appearance of this fighter clearly, the face of the city immediately changed greatly, and he ordered Sakurai: "Order all ships to prepare for battle, the fighter just now should be the white-sided dolphin of the academy army." ”

Sakurai was startled, and he hurriedly answered the order and went out to deliver the order.

Soon, the mournful battle siren whistle sounded, and the devils on the three battleships began to enter the air defense positions in an orderly manner. Five minutes later, nearly 50 anti-aircraft weapons of all kinds were facing the direction where the white-sided dolphin had just left, revealing their claws. However, looking at these anti-aircraft weapons with teeth and claws, there is no sense of peace of mind in the city and Sakurai.

The words "sink" suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts, and the two of them couldn't help but shudder.

They don't dare to think about whether the supply fleet will become another "sunken", right?
