Chapter 1117 Ning

At around ten o'clock in the morning, when the evacuation of residents along the southwestern coast of Qiongnan was in full swing, two reconnaissance planes flew away from the Kaga, which was only about [-] kilometers southwest of Dongfang City.

At the same time, the diversion fleet began to turn around, and then rushed towards the offshore waters where Dongfang City was located.

Seeing the two fighter planes sinking into the sky, Yamamoto 56 on the bridge put down his binoculars and asked Koizumi Toshiichiro, "Has there not been a telegram from Arima yet?"

Koizumi Toshiichiro nodded. He looked at his watch and said, "The appointed time is 10:30, and there is still half an hour left. Your Excellency, you seem a little nervous."

Yamamoto smiled wryly and shook his head, and said, "It was too painful to be hit by 'sink it'. Koizumi, if we only talk about the land area and population, compared with China, the empire is actually a child challenging an adult. So , as long as we can, even if it is a light cruiser or even a fighter plane or even a soldier, we must cherish it very much. Do you understand what I mean?"

Koizumi nodded: "Your Excellency, I admit that at the beginning, I dismissed the Chinese people. However, after these few days of confrontation, I now think that at least Ouyang Yun is worthy of our respect."

"It's not just Ouyang Yun," Yamamoto corrected: "We should give at least respect to all opponents. Because only in this way, we will treat them seriously, discover their weaknesses and deal a heavy blow. Koizumi, this match In the war between China and Japan, the empire was taking a gamble with the fate of the country for the next 50 years. If it wins, the empire will have no worries for at least 50 years, but if it fails——” Maybe because this topic is too heavy, let’s talk about it here , Yamamoto failed to continue.

In Japanese history books, most of the evaluations Koizumi read about Yamamoto were said by gamblers, but this was incompatible with the side of Yamamoto presented to him.At this time, Yamamoto behaved more like a poet who worried about the country and the people.Yamamoto's words were too pessimistic, which made Koizumi uncomfortable to hear. He suddenly remembered the period of history he was in, and the process of Japan's re-emergence. He couldn't help smiling, and said, "Your Excellency, this war is It’s a gamble, but it’s far from enough to affect the empire for 50 years. Don’t worry, the Japanese people are hardworking and honest. Even if this battle is really lost, the empire will rise soon.” He said, looking at Looking far away at the junction of the sea and the sky, he said in his heart: "Although it is not in the field of force, the rise of the economy can also change a country's status in the world—whatever is gained, what is lost is still favored by Amaterasu." Japanese."

There are several paragraphs of such dialogues between Yamamoto and Koizumi almost every day.Through the dialogue, Koizumi gained Yamamoto's command experience and strategic vision, and Yamamoto also benefited a lot. At least, the self-confidence damaged by "Sink It" has gradually recovered.

At 10:30, it was still on the front line of the Wanning Dazhou Fort. Under the command of Arima Masamune, after a three-day cessation, the flames of war ignited again.The first to appear are more than [-] ships of various types, including a battleship.The sound of the guns rumbled, and in an instant, fireworks rose near the Dazhou Fort. Soon, all the suspected fortifications were shattered into pieces or even turned into burning fires under the gunfire.

The headquarters of the 38th Brigade is still under the scrapped Ozu Fort. Because of the early warning from the Dahuajiao radar station, when the United Fleet left Arima with an aircraft carrier "Ryujo", "Ryujo" loaded a total of 48 fighters, 43 of which can be put into combat.In order to achieve the effect of "large-scale attack", Arima released all 43 fighters into the sky.After the 43 fighters took off, they immediately extended their bombing range and began search bombing and strafing.Half an hour later, not only Wanning City was bombed again, and turned from ruins into a burning sea of ​​flames again, even Dongshan Ridge was favored by the little devil pilot.At least [-] bombs fell on the Dongshan Ridge, and more than a dozen students were affected by the explosion and lost their lives, including three soldiers from the Taiwan Special Warfare Brigade.

The Japanese planes flew over the Dongshan Mountain one after another. The officers and soldiers of the Niangziyun Guard Regiment and the Guangzhou Security Force behaved fairly calmly, but a group of soldiers from the Taiwan Special Operations Brigade behaved quite unbearably.

At this time, Guo Dai showed the qualities of an excellent commander. He lay down with the soldiers, taking care of those who were ready to move from time to time: "If you don't want to die, just lay down for me! What? Are you afraid that the little devil can't see you? !"

The Taiwanese soldiers thought about it and it was true. Although they were terrified, they didn't dare to move.

Ouyang Yun was originally standing at the entrance of the command department to investigate the situation, but as the sound of bombs piercing the air rang above his head, You Xiaolian quickly dragged him in.

"Boom!" A bomb exploded at the entrance of the command department, which made all the students hiding nearby break out in a cold sweat.

Because the mountains in the Middle East had not been bombed in previous battles, Chen Shichang thought of Li Senran's escape in the early morning, and couldn't help wondering if he had provided the Japanese army with Ouyang Yun's location.He immediately suggested to Ouyang Yun that Dongshanling could no longer stay, and called Shan Renxiong to inform him of the situation.

It is related to the commander-in-chief's safety, even if he is catching wind and shadows, he has to guard against it. After Shan Renxiong received the call, he did not dare to take it lightly. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately called Zhang Dali, General Yun Dian and Qiu Hongsheng respectively, and asked them to Immediately dispatched the armored regiments directly under each brigade to Dongshanling to protect the safety of the commander-in-chief.

Among the armored regiments directly under the three brigades, the armored regiment of the Xue 38th Brigade was the closest to Dongshanling. Zhang Dali immediately gave orders to the regiment commander Cai Xiaosheng after receiving the call. Start heading towards the East Ridge at full speed.

The 43 fighter planes released by the "Longxiang" raged in the Wanning area for about half an hour before Shi Shiran left. While they were still on their way back, the Japanese landing force set off.More than 10 landing ships of various types carrying more than [-] devils rushed towards the Dazhou Fort. Ten minutes later, the first wave of a brigade of devils, carrying various types of light and heavy weapons, was attacked by a major named Toshio Hashimoto. Under the command, boarded the land near the Dazhou Fort.

Yamamoto left Arima with a total of four brigades, and he invested in three brigades at once in order to cause the misunderstanding of the Xuebing army, thinking that their main attack direction is still in Wanning.

Arima's strategic guiding ideology is naturally good, but because Yamamoto left him with soldiers from the Osaka Division, people have to doubt whether this strategic attempt can produce real results.Of course, at this time, Arima still doesn't know what the virtues of the Osaka Division are.

Twenty or ten minutes after the start of the landing battle, everything that happened on the beach near the Ozu Fort almost made Arima pissed off——
