Chapter 36: The Most Spiritual Chapter

"Due to special circumstances, this chapter can only replace Xuesheng with a reserve."

The Etajima Naval Academy, or Etajima School for the Deaf and Dumb, is located on a small island on the west side of Kure City.

Since its establishment in the last century, it has been sending a steady stream of elite talents in various fields to the combined fleet.

In a sense, it is the cradle of the Benzi Navy.

It was early afternoon, and the sun shrouded in the luxurious red-brick dormitory. The reservists who had just finished eating walked in groups of threes and twos, heading towards Guying Mountain to the south of the school.

Compared with the abandoned houses of Reiwa in the future, which are indifferent to even the explosion of their own rockets, the Showa boys are obviously more concerned about various national affairs.

They have been eagerly discussing relevant military developments and actively analyzing the future trend of the Pacific War.

While the devils were still talking freely, fantasizing about the beauty of the bathtub smuggling across the Pacific Ocean, an unsociable voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"Gentlemen, I personally believe that the enemy is not a pig with a poor will to fight and is vulnerable."

"Let's not mention the profound Belt and Britain, as well as the ugly country with strong industrial strength and rich resources. The recent rise of the Republic of China alone is enough to attract the attention of younger countries. ”

"In my humble opinion, the next time you analyze a possible future war, you should not be too optimistic."

One thing to say, keeping sanity at all times is indeed one of the necessary prerequisites for deduction.

However, in the operational staff of the Navy, personal fanatical emotions and brain-hot stud-style gambling addiction often override reason.

Just like the upcoming Battle of Midway, Yamamoto can listen to the advice of his subordinates, don't threaten Yamaguchi and others with the words of suspending and leaving the ship if he opposes it, and he will not scrap four capital aircraft carriers at once.

After all, before the departure of the mobile fleet, the senior officers held a meeting on Yamato for four days and three nights, and used war games to deduce the possibility that the aircraft carriers of the Ugly Country might wait for the opportunity to move, and finally a wave of surprise attacks to kill Akagi and Kaga.

This is true for professional soldiers, let alone students who are more impulsive and more easily brainwashed.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice of reason sounded, an old fourth-year reserve in the uniform of a corporal (captain) walked out of the crowd with a menacing attitude.

"Smack!"

With the crisp sound of flesh colliding, a classic spiritual injection slapped the first-year reserve in the face. The force was so great that he staggered to the ground.

"Yaga! You coward, do you know what the hell you're talking about? ”

"The locust country has the largest navy in the world, whether it is a British or ugly country, it is not our opponent, let alone the Republic of China that does not even have a single warship!"

"You stand up for me! Confess your sins to all your classmates! ”

At the Etajima Naval Academy, there is no common contemporaneous reserve in the class, but a mixed system of different grades.

As soon as these words came out, several senior brothers around immediately responded to the call and surrounded them from different directions, with the meaning of continuing to inject spirit if they disagreed.

With the idea that a hero will not suffer immediate losses, the first-year reserve first stood up very aggrieved, and then began to apologize to his big brother.

"Hey!"

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said things that made others arrogant and ruined my own prestige! I beg your pardon! ”

It is clear that the senior big brother is not satisfied with the younger brother's confession.

Perhaps in order to show their status, or to rectify the bad atmosphere on campus, they shouted with hideous faces and louder voices than the other:

"No energy!"

"I can't hear clearly! It's too quiet! Inaudible! Can't hear at all! ”

"Do it all over again! Say it again! So quiet! Still want to drive a warship!? ”

As a newcomer to Etajima, swallowing your anger is a skill that must be learned. Once someone disobeys the reprimands and spiritual infusions of the seniors, the final result is absolutely isolation from all contemporaries.

Of course, if you're someone like Yamaguchi who is good at fist and foot kung fu, it's a different story.

Seeing that Big Brother had already surrounded him, the newcomer of the 72nd phase from a humble background was forced to be helpless, so he had to repeat the apology just now with his throat.

Hearing this, the leader of the fourth grade nodded with satisfaction. They always believed that hysterical yelling was a way to exercise courage and obedience to orders.

"Good! Very energetic! I won't bother with you this time, let's get back to the team! ”

"Thanks Big Brother!"

Just as the farce was about to end, an instructor in the uniform of a naval lieutenant came over. This person had a serious face, and the eyes of the surrounding reservists looking at him were obviously with a different kind of awe.

"Instructor Hirata!"

In order to avoid reprimanding, the representative of the fourth grade took the initiative to say hello and told the flight theory instructor in front of him about the cause and effect of the incident.

After figuring out the ins and outs, perhaps thinking of his eldest brother, Corporal Mori (Wu Chang), Hirata Ichiro said to the first-year reserve with a smile on his face:

"Oishi-kun, don't hold a grudge against Fuji Yijun in your heart, he is actually thinking about your future."

"I had a big brother back then, who helped me a lot in my studies and life. It's a pity that Morishita-kun died in a flight accident. ”

"Cherish the people in front of you, don't regret it until you lose it."

"Hey!"

That's right, the person in charge of the flight theory class at the current Etajima Naval Academy is none other than Ichiro Hirata, who has no spirit.

As a second-class graduate of the 65th class who was given a saber by the Locust Emperor, Hirata joined the army and was promoted to captain of the land-based air force in just four years.

This kind of promotion speed, in the book navy of seniority, it is definitely an existence against the sky.

In February of this year, during the attack on the USS Saratoga, Hirata and his wingman shot down three Buffalo fighters. But the guns were merciless, and he was forced to return home for treatment because of a wound in his left arm.

While recuperating from his wounds, the junior officer with the second hammock number was sent by his superiors to his alma mater, Etajima, to temporarily replace the position of theoretical instructor.

It is precisely because of his excellent results and achievements that he can become the object of love of everyone present.

A meal of chicken soup for the soul poured into the stomach, and the reservists all seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. Seeing that the scene was under control, Hirata began to get down to business.

"The whole school informs, please gather in the open space in front of the auditorium, there will be important arrangements in the grass deer!"

······

Ten minutes later, the auditorium of the Etajima Naval Academy.

Facing hundreds of pairs of curious eyes, Principal Kusaka stepped onto the podium in the shape of an armored conning tower. The old devil cleared his throat, and then said to all the teachers and students:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received news from General Yamamoto that our rear has been attacked by an unknown enemy!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became boiling. Because the news just announced was too vigorous, the instructors who had been on the front line couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts.

"Nani?"

"What the hell is going on? The army red deer is such a waste, even the local air defense forces are not well arranged! ”

“.!”

The chaotic scene made the corners of Cao Lu's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

In fact, the old devil didn't want to make public about the attack on the rear at all, and if there was a choice, it would be better for the school to directly organize the nearby evacuation.

However, the sudden action of the Pillar Island Fleet and the full alert on the side of Kure City could not hide the reservists who were close at hand.

Considering that the enemy was likely to bomb Etajima, he was forced to tell the truth in order to prevent the whole school from being caught off guard by the sudden attack.

"Quiet! Give me all the quiet! ”

"From now on, the Etajima Naval Academy will enter wartime control. Anyone who does not obey the arrangement will be dealt with by military law! ”

"Pass my orders! Everyone is divided into groups according to the time of enrollment and the subject they specialize in, and under the guidance of the instructor, they go to the Guying Mountain bomb shelter for refuge! Let's go! ”

In the original timeline, when the Benzi Navy was losing ground in the Pacific theater, the School for the Deaf began to face the horrific bombing of Halsey.

So, when the reservists heard that their schools were about to be bombed, most of them were terrified.

However, it turns out that the spiritual injection in the senior year on weekdays is really useful at a critical moment.

Under the leadership of the fourth-grade big brother, everyone quickly moved according to the principal's order, and lined up in front of their respective instructors.

Hundreds of people were assembled, grouped and roll called in just five minutes.

At this point, Cao Lu Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief and put the hanging heart back in his stomach. Now he only needs to rush to the air-raid shelter in Guying Mountain, and the task arranged by the superiors will be completed.

But at this moment, the sharp and piercing air raid sirens and the sound of anti-aircraft guns sounded at the same time.

The sky over Kure Harbor, not far to the east, was full of black clouds, firelight, and unfamiliar bomber groups for a while.

······

Compared with the aircraft group that raided the First Fleet and Kure Port, the comrades who attacked Etajima were definitely the easiest group.

What is the difficulty of pinching soft persimmons?

In the face of a school that does not have systematic anti-aircraft firepower and is not protected by the air team, it is okay to directly ride the face and output, and there is no problem in licking the ground if you want to.

"Team Jiang, there is the devil's military academy in front. What should we pay attention to in this operation, how do we fight? ”

As for the attack on a military school, the comrades did not have any psychological burden at all.

Both sides are your mortal enemies, and striking at your reserve forces is a matter for the strategic bombing forces.

What's more, Etajima is the only institution in the book that can train non-commissioned officer pilots/grassroots commanders of HNA Airlines. In a sense, this is the sworn enemy of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

Hearing his wingman's question, the combat hero Jiang Daoping said lightly in the communication channel:

"How? Just raze it to the ground! In the bigger schools, the high-explosive bombs and napalm we carry are definitely enough to grind it into powder. ”

"But I'm going to say it in the front, everyone is a veteran pilot who has been through a lot of battles, and I don't want you to be shot down by a crooked handle and a Type 92 heavy machine gun."

"Get moving! Watch out for the enemy's hidden anti-aircraft artillery positions. After the bombing, immediately join up with the friendly forces next door! ”

"Roger!"

After finishing speaking, the comrades of the 1st Air Force Division relied on their faster speed to launch a dive attack one step ahead of the bomber formation.

Since it was the first time that the school had been invaded by the flames of war, its interior was really as Jiang Daoping said, with only a few light and heavy machine guns carrying the banner of air defense mission.

To deal with this kind of counterattack, which is not even a mosquito bite, the comrades directly reciprocate with mosquitoes.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

With several earth-shattering noises, the red-brick dormitory with British style was directly smashed through the roof by several heavy high-explosive bombs.

The whole house inflated like a balloon, and all kinds of masonry, wood, broken glass, and metal components were swept away by the shock wave, and then fell like raindrops.

In the face of the devil reserve that had not yet dispersed, the combat hero Jiang Daoping directly swooped down with extreme rampant, striking four deadly chains of fire in the crowd.

After setting off a bloody storm of minced meat, he first raised his height and turned around, and then swept towards the podium of the armored command tower.

Grass deer any, pawn!

The new principal, the general English tutor, is in place!

Look at the oncoming fighter jet spitting flames. Most of the devils were a little helpless, some frightened and froze in place, and some screamed and threw themselves on the ground and burrowed into the grass.

Although these guys are reserves, they basically attend classes and sit in classrooms in military schools, and target shooting plus judo practice is all courses related to actual combat, who have experienced such a big scene.

Of course, some big brothers and instructors will still rely on the enthusiasm of youth to raise their guns one after another to meet the strong enemy.

But on the whole, they clearly lack proper organization. The firepower of the crooked handle and the Type 92 heavy machine gun was also not dense enough and lacked discipline.

Hundreds of tons of high-explosive bombs and napalm bombs blew Jiangtian Island into a large area of charred ruins. It seems to be giving this book the cradle of the navy, holding the most brilliant, splendid, and grand abolition ceremony. (End of chapter)
