Chapter 1118 Complex
After Toshikazu Hashimoto, a native of Osaka, led his men to complete the landing, they did not attack in depth according to the established plan, but began to dig trenches on the spot.Watching the soldiers of the Hashimoto brigade constructing fortifications on the beach in an orderly manner, and the officers and soldiers of the other two brigades spreading out with their respective landing craft on the sea near the coastline, Arima was puzzled at first, and then finally couldn't hold back. Keeping the curiosity in my heart, I humbly asked the brigade commander Honda Inahui, who was assigned by the Osaka Division, "Mr. Honda, what are the officers and soldiers of your department doing?"

Honda Daohui is naturally aware of the virtues of his subordinates. His old face blushed slightly, and then he said seriously: "They should be preparing for the next attack."

"Huh?" Arima was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "The preparations before the attack? But what are they doing fortifications?"

"It should be to consolidate the beachhead. Arima-kun, we have seen the attack methods of the Chinese people before. There is no stable landing position. If the Chinese people launch a counterattack, how can they stand?"

"Worried about the counterattack of the Chinese people before they attack?!" Arima was almost choked by Honda's words. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice as much as possible: "But if this happens, we were so aggressive before. Your offensive will be in vain. Mr. Honda, with all due respect, when your ministry has done its defensive work, I am afraid that the Chinese people will have already prepared their defenses. In that case, your offensive command will encounter even greater resistance."

"Well, I think it's always good to be prepared."

"Preparation? But we are on the offensive side. If the Chinese really launch a counterattack like last time, I will use naval guns to beat them to the ground. Moreover, we also have aviation to provide fire support..." Arima As he spoke, he became more and more annoyed, and finally couldn't help cursing: "Ba Ge, is this a war? This, this is a child's play. Mr. Honda, please order your troops to attack immediately, otherwise, if you delay If the Commander is in serious trouble, you will bear all the responsibilities!"

His subordinates are so disappointing, Honda is actually very helpless, but the whole division is like this, and he is powerless to change anything as a brigade commander.Hearing that Arima was threatening, he was not happy anymore, and changed from his previous gentleness, he looked at Arima coldly and said: "Your Excellency, you have never been in the army, so you don't understand our army's combat methods. I don't blame you. But if you want to command our Army in the same way you command the Marine Corps, it won't work. I admit that, as His Majesty's people, we have the obligation to die for our country, but if that sacrifice doesn't What to change, I think, this kind of behavior is stupid..."

Before Honda finished speaking, Arima jumped three feet high in embarrassment, he waited for Honda and shouted: "Hachi, who are you calling stupid?"

Honda did not show any weakness, and said coldly: "Ignore the lives of soldiers and carry out indiscriminate shelling wantonly. Isn't this kind of behavior stupid?"

"Bage, Honda Daohui, you bastard, I want to fight you!"

"The duel is just a duel, but please wait until the battle is over. Huh, I don't want to lose the commander of the remaining fleet because of a mistake, and eventually lead to the failure of the false attack plan. I can't bear this responsibility!"

... Honda's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, the violent Arima was no match at all. If the two men hadn't separated them in time, it would not have been impossible for the two major general level officers to fight on the spot.

Zhang Dali and the others had no way of knowing about the verbal exchange between the two commanders of the combined fleet, the navy and the land, and he was not in the mood to meddle in such nosy matters right now.At this time, Zhang Dali and his subordinates were completely confused by Hashimoto's actions.

"What is the little devil doing?" Several cadet army officers from the 502 regiment and the 38th brigade headquarters watched the little devil busy on the beach, and couldn't help discussing curiously.

Zhang Dali said intently: "Could it be that the little devil really wants to land in Wanning? They are building fortifications so vigorously, as if they are going to fight a protracted war!"

The others were reasonable after thinking about it, and each of them couldn't help but become cautious.Zhang Dali watched it for a while, then went to the staff room to call Shan Renxiong to express his doubts.The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and after waiting for about 5 minutes, seeing that the Japanese army had not launched an attack for a long time, he immediately ran to the staff room to call Shan Renxiong and reported the matter.

Shan Renxiong was quite worried about the bombing of Dongshanling by the Japanese plane just now. Now that he heard about such a situation, he couldn't help being puzzled. Phenomena come.He first said: "The whereabouts of the Japanese army are very suspicious. If they are not playing tricks, there is only one possibility. The diversion fleet is just a decoy. No, the diversion fleet has always maintained a distance of [-] kilometers from the coastline. At this distance Navigation, we can't detect it with the naked eye alone. Could it be that the little devil already knows the existence of the Dahuajiao radar station?"

The existence of Wuzhishan and the Dahuajiao radar station is the top secret. Only officers above the brigade commander know about the existence of the Fifth Army, so the possibility of this secret being leaked is extremely low.And from the analysis of the previous actions of the Japanese army, they should not know about this.

The three discussed and discussed, but there was no conclusion. In the end, Shan Renxiong decided to remain unchanged. He said: "We are not afraid even if the little devil really uses Wanning as a breakthrough. We now have nearly [-] troops in Qiongdongnan. Well, with the self-defense force armed, there is absolutely no problem in sniping for a week. At that time, Qiongnan's troops will also be able to rush over. Dali, tell the brothers, as long as the status quo is maintained..."

The confusion of the single heroes did not last long, because around 10:30, the armed forces of the combined fleet diversion fleet finally began to appear in Qiongnan.

The first to attack were about 50 fighters.

The intelligence that the reconnaissance plane detected a large number of Chinese civilians fleeing did not make Yamamoto 56 think otherwise. On the contrary, because he found that the local Chinese people had already fled during the air strike in Wanning, he believed that this phenomenon just showed that the Xuebing Army The void in the Jonesinian defense.

The 50 fighters were divided into three formations and rushed towards Ledong, Dongfang City and Changjiang respectively. The next moment, these three cities were engulfed by the continuous explosion smoke.Amidst the shrill air defense sirens, the fleeing crowd immediately lost order, which made the evacuation work more difficult.

Seeing a large number of civilians falling under the machine guns of the devils, including some old people and children, Chang Geng couldn't stand it anymore.He said to Yang Chuntai, the commander of the [-]th Xueshi Division: "The commander-in-chief said that our Xuebing Army is the people's soldiers. Now, it's time for us to fulfill this duty. Pass my order, and the air defense forces everywhere are free to fight back!"

In the original combat plan, these air defense units were to wait until the time when the Japanese landing troops were encircled and wiped out to attack the Japanese planes. Yang Chuntai was worried that this would scare away the Japanese troops, but Chang Geng said: "If you can really scare them away, it will kill you a lot less." People, the situation is now clear, and the main direction of the Japanese attack is Qiongnan. Our counterattack will only make the little devil more excited! Execute it!"

The order was passed on, and soon, the air defense forces of a total of three regiments launched a counterattack.And just as Chang Geng expected, the appearance of the air defense unit of the Xuebing Army not only did not scare the little devil, but aroused the great interest of Tsukahara Two Four Three.

The first wave of fighter planes had not yet returned, and the second and third waves of fighter planes took off one after another. Soon, the sky in Qiongxi Southwest, centered on Changjiang, was covered by densely packed Japanese fighter planes.
