Age of Rebirth

On the way back to the voyage, the Le Yiqin fleet took advantage of the sheep and smashed the Yulin Base of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force Air Force to pieces, and killed a dozen reconnaissance planes and all the anti-aircraft firepower positions of the Japanese army's last brigade. , Returning triumphantly, the teacher Tang Qiuli came to the door.

Hearing Le Yiqin's rambling words, Tang Qiuli changed the subject and asked, "Le Yiqin, please report truthfully. How about the casualties of the fleet? Is the Japanese army's resistance fierce?"

Hearing this, Le Yiqin became more energetic. He was undergoing violent training there, and he was almost elated, "Reporting to the commander, as soon as our fleet was injured or killed, we destroyed the Japanese army's Hainan Island field airport. There are more than ten reconnaissance planes, and all the anti-aircraft firepower positions, the resistance of the little devils is not worth mentioning, and there is no effective air defense firepower network in the air above Hainan Island. I guess, that old devil in Nomura is trying to crying!"

Tang Qiuli didn't say much, "Le Yiqin, let's put aside the matter of your private actions. After the Battle of Yangon is over, we will settle the score. Listen carefully. After returning to the voyage, let the pilots take a rest , There is still a combat mission in the early hours of tomorrow, and the specific order will be issued immediately after you land."

In the earphones, I heard Le Yiqin howling like a wolf: "Guys, hurry up and go home, there is still work to do tomorrow!" Tang Qiuli said for a while, in fact, he liked Le Yiqin's aggressive pursuit In today's air raid on the Japanese airport on Hainan Island, a fire reconnaissance was conducted accidentally, and the details of the Japanese defense situation on Hainan Island were roughly found out. [

He had new ideas about the use of Hantie's Marine Corps to capture Hainan Island. From this point of view, the Japanese army on Hainan Island was very weak and vulnerable. The two battles of attacking Yangon and capturing Hainan Island, Is it possible to do both at the same time?It is not necessary to wait until after the Battle of Yangon is over.After the fleet captured the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, it was when the Battle of Yangon was launched, and it could not be delayed any longer. Chutian's special warfare detachment had been lurking in Yangon for more than ten days.Not a long term solution.

On Hainan Island, at the Yulin Base of the Japanese Air Force, the underground command post of the Air Force Headquarters, Major General Takahashi, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, came to the ground accompanied by more than a dozen staff officers after hearing the signal that the alarm was cleared.As far as the eye can see, the soaring fire is mixed with billowing black smoke, and it rushes straight into the air with a whirring sound. Under the light of the fire, the fire truck is spraying water jets in vain, which looks ridiculous in front of the raging fire.

The ground buildings of the airport suffered minor losses.But on the tarmac, the dozens of reconnaissance planes that had been burnt into wreckage were on the runway.In the open space, there are scattered corpses of soldiers, bloodstains on the anti-aircraft position, and blood holes on the soldiers. If it doesn’t hurt Takahashi’s heart, the air force of the Southeast Asian Expeditionary Army of the Empire of Japan really doesn’t even have a single plane. Was beaten by the Chinese Air Force.

This is still in the China fleet, without the use of bombers, otherwise.What Chief of Staff Takahashi saw should be ruins, and why did this independent division fleet composed of fighter jets choose to carry out air strikes in the evening when there were no bombers? It was a deliberate move.Or a planned air strike?Or is it a prelude to a large-scale attack on Hainan Island?

With Takahashi's current state of mind and brain, he can't judge the truth of the facts. He can only report to Commander Nomura for a decision. At this time, Takahashi realized that he hadn't seen Commander Nomura for a long time. Have you seen Commander Nomura?" Takahashi turned around and asked a group of staff officers following him.

A staff officer replied in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, two hours ago, I saw Commander Nomura, alone, and entered the office. In the airspace near the Nansha Islands, when the whole army was wiped out, Takahashi was somewhat dissatisfied with Nomura's behavior in his heart.

"No matter how you say it, you are the supreme commander of the air force. You were beaten up by Chinese fighter jets outside. It doesn't matter if you don't come out. For the sake of safety, you should come out to take a look at the mess after the fight, right? Many things, It's not that I, the chief of staff, can decide, and hiding is not an option.

Takahashi walked towards Nomura's office with a large group of staff officers. When he got close, the door was closed tightly, and there was no sound inside. He asked the guards who were still in shock and learned that Commander Nomura had not come out. Takahashi signaled to the staff They waited at the door, stepped forward to knock on the door lightly, "bang bang bang", there was no echo at all inside.

Takahashi knocked on the door again, but there was still no movement. He tried the door and found that the door was locked. An ominous premonition flashed across Takahashi's heart, and he slammed it. The door did not move at all. A few guards came over and smashed the door. The Japanese Empire samurai's ability to smash the door and search the house was innate, and the tendency to violence was born in the womb.

A guard with a big arm and a round waist went up and "boomed" his feet. The door slammed open, and Takahashi saw at a glance that Commander Nomura was lying on the large desk. With the smell of blood, he waved these staff officers out, and then closed the door and walked to the desk.

Lieutenant General Nomura, the commander of the air force of the Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force of the Empire of Japan, committed suicide. In addition to a dagger on his stomach, there was also a pistol on the table. There was a bloody hole on the commander's right temple. It seems that the real What is fatal is not the dagger in the stomach, but the fatal shot in the temple.

Takahashi was not at all surprised by Nomura's suicide. The entire aviation team was wiped out and lost miserably. For whatever reason, as the supreme commander of the air force, Commander Nomura cannot escape the severe punishment of the base camp.

With sadness in his eyes, Takahashi looked at Nomura, who was already a cold corpse, and thought to himself: "Perhaps choosing to commit suicide is the best way to preserve the honor of the Imperial Japanese Empire. Other than that, don't let others die." Will he be sentenced to death by the base camp, or spend the rest of his life in a cell under the dark sky?"

Takahashi can even imagine the entire process of Commander Nomura's suicide. First, he cut open his abdomen with a self-cutting knife. Unable to bear the severe pain, he shot himself in the temple, seeking the fastest relief. , eliminating the pain of sharp blades cutting off organs.

Takahashi saw a piece of letter paper under Nomura's left arm. He picked it up, and it was Nomura's suicide note, "His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters, Nomura has been in the army for more than [-] years. The Empire of Japan dominates the world and devotes all its energy to His Majesty's Great East Asia Jihad. Although he sacrificed his life and regretted it, he is also proud of being a member of the Imperial Army."

"However, since entering the Indochina Peninsula theater, he has encountered a powerful opponent that he has never seen in his life, and has suffered repeated defeats. The elite division of the Imperial Air Force has been defeated by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli and his hero Le Yiqin. Today, it is desperate to use the last force of the air force to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese fleet. Unfortunately, all the bombers of the air force were smashed in the sky over the South China Sea."

"Subsequently, the Yulin base was attacked again, and the foundation of the empire in Hainan Island for several years was destroyed. Thinking of this, Nomura was devastated and desperate to live in the world. He had to die as an apology. He was a sinner of the empire. Even though he died, he could not atone for his sins. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli and his air force commander Le Yiqin are indeed the most dangerous enemies of the empire. He made a statement on his deathbed and concentrated all the power of the empire to wipe out the independent division Tang Qiuli. Otherwise, the Empire of Japan will be destroyed Southeast Asia and even the South Pacific region will be a place where we will gain a foothold, and Nomura will never write."

After reading Nomura's last letter, Takahashi couldn't hold back the tears, and his heart was like a knife. Lying in a pool of blood was his benefactor. He himself was promoted from an ordinary lieutenant and staff officer to an aviation officer within a few years. The second person in the team, the major general's chief of staff, was promoted by Nomura-kun. Now, Nomura-kun is lying here with his help. How can Takahashi feel so embarrassed?

He went forward, cleaned the blood off the desk, wiped the blood off Nomura's face, and put away his pistol. He didn't want other officers to see the fact that Nomura shot himself. For the imperial warriors, The best way to die is to commit suicide by caesarean section. Shooting yourself to death will be regarded as a cowardly act, despised by others, and does not conform to the traditions of the imperial family. [

For your mentor, do your last bit of human affairs!Then, Takahashi called the guards in. Seeing the dead body of Nomura, who was covered with a white cloth and carried out, Takahashi felt deep-seated hatred in his heart. Le Yiqin, put their heads in front of Nomura-kun's grave, and pay homage to their benefactor.

Of course, it's just a rage in my heart. When the aviation team won all the games, they were all beaten to ashes by the independent division Southern Aviation Group. Now, I don't even have a few plane wheels in my hand. What can I do to vent my hatred?What he is thinking about now is how to deal with the aftermath.

Back in the office, Takahashi ordered the communication officer to report the news of Commander Nomura's suicide to the headquarters as soon as possible, and attached his last letter with the telegram. In terms of sequence and affiliation, Takahashi should first report this news to the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army and the direct superior of the air force, General Ito Gensaburo.

But Takahashi just didn't want to, and he didn't want to. Then, he personally dictated the telegram and sent it to the General Staff of the base camp, reporting the current location of the independent division fleet, as well as the purpose and intention of his own judgment.

This independent division fleet was the last straw that crushed Commander Nomura. Takahashi would not let it go. The point of no return.
