Age of Rebirth

As for the commander of the left-wing position, Lieutenant General Oshima of the 30rd Division suddenly called himself, Kagao Jichu, the commander of the No.[-] [-]th Division of the Japanese and Korean Garrison No.[-] defending the second line of defense in Mokpo General, confused, this guy Oshima usually doesn’t deal with him very much, he belongs to the kind of old and dead. The sudden call is probably because of him, kindly reminding him that all the troops have been transferred to underground fortifications, and Come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?

With the bad temper of that guy in Oshima, it is very possible that he felt that he had lost face. Lieutenant General Kaga, who took the call from the staff officer, was still very nervous. The big battle was imminent. It is completely unnecessary, and it will affect the cooperation between the two divisions.

"I'm Kaga Oji, am I the head of the Oshima Division? What can I tell you about the call?" Lieutenant General Kaga asked politely, he didn't want to quarrel with this headstrong and stupid guy.

On the other end of the phone, Lieutenant General Oshima's tone was unexpectedly kind, "Oh, Kaga-kun, what did you say to enlighten me, I thank you, thanks to your reminder, my troops have entered the underground fortification, the first The lessons of the Third Brigade are vividly remembered. Kaga-kun is worthy of being a famous general of the Imperial Army with great foresight. In the following days, you and I will fight side by side to serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan together. I also hope that Kaga-kun will give tactical guidance to the Third Division from time to time!"

Lieutenant General Kaga was confused by what the uncharacteristically Lieutenant General Oshima said. He didn't use a word of the words he had thought up in his stomach. It was so sudden that he didn't know how to respond. The guy suddenly showed modesty and enthusiasm, so he could only laugh passively.

After a few more polite words, he put down the phone.Lieutenant General Kaga was still puzzled. On the other end of the phone, Lieutenant General Oshima slammed down the phone, his face was ugly, and he thought angrily: "If Commander Tanaka hadn't warned himself repeatedly, when defending the second line of defense in Mokpo , Listen to that guy Kaga’s opinion more, focus on the No.30 Seventh Division, so I won’t hold back my nausea and waste so much talk with that guy Kaga!”

"Hmph. The cowardly guy, before he saw the shadow of the Chinese soldiers, he ordered the brave soldiers of the Japanese Empire to hide in the underground fortification like a mouse. He also reminded himself like a dog, I am ashamed! To join this fellow who lacks courage!"

Lieutenant General Oshima who was secretly sulking.Suddenly heard.There were bursts of low roaring sounds in the sky, and his attention was suddenly attracted, and he rolled his pale yellow eyeballs suspiciously, "Look at it. What's the situation?" He shouted at a staff officer .

The staff officer lay down next to the lookout hole in the shelter, held up the binoculars and looked up into the sky. As he watched, his hands suddenly trembled.In the twilight of dawn, in the northwest sky, under the blue sky, a group of small black dots, quickly before his eyes, turned into murderous planes, pressing down like dark clouds, coming from that direction Yes, it can only be the fleet of the independent division!

"Report division commander, here we come! Here we come!" The staff officer jumped up and shouted without thinking.

"Huh? Baga! What's coming?" Lieutenant General Oshima was very dissatisfied with the panic of his subordinates, and cursed angrily.

"The head of the division, it is the plane of the independent division, countless planes! They are flying over our position!" The staff officer hurriedly added.

"Haney?" Lieutenant General Oshima stared at the staff in surprise. At this moment, all the officers in the bunker had heard the deafening roar of engines.

More than 400 independent division bombers were divided into two attack waves. In the first attack wave, more than [-] bombers immediately entered the bombing channel. In the sky, there was no threat of Japanese fighter jets, and on the ground, there was no obstruction of anti-aircraft artillery fire. Just like the training, the bomb hatch door under the belly of the aircraft opened, and huge aerial bombs roared down from the sky, reflecting the luster of metal under the light of the eastern dawn.

"Boom!—Boom!—Boom!" Groups of flames suddenly appeared, and the huge fireball rolled, carrying thick smoke and soil, stirring up a column of smoke that soared into the sky. The trembling sound of metal, the Japanese army's position, seemed to be hit by countless iron fists from the sky, and huge craters appeared one after another. The continuous explosion sound shook the dawn air and carried echoes, spreading far away on the sea.

Even if he was hiding in the underground bunker, the huge shock wave penetrated the soil layer, shaking Lieutenant General Oshima's heart beating wildly. If it wasn't for the staff to support His Excellency, Division Chief, Lieutenant General Oshima would almost fall to the ground. At this moment, he felt that Commander Tanaka's foresight and wisdom, and the luck of partnering with that guy Kaga, if he hadn't pinched his nose and followed the advice of that guy Kaga, it would be this wave of bombing, his 53rd Division The regiment will lose at least a few thousand people.

The shelter trembled amidst the explosions one after another, and the soil on the roof "rusted" down, "Kaga-kun, I, Oshima, admire you!" Lieutenant General Oshima felt the huge shock waves and muttered to himself, Never before have I admired someone from the bottom of my heart like now, especially the guy I still look down on.

At Mokpo Port, Ma Chaoyang listened excitedly to the sound of explosions, his eyes lit up, "Commander, what do you think the effect of this bombing will be? The situation is not small!" He couldn't help asking, and kept Tang Qiuquan was resting with his eyes closed.

Tang Qiuquan opened his eyes slightly, smiled, and said, "Commander Ma, you wouldn't think that the Japanese army's position would be destroyed after the first round of bombing!"

Ma Chaoyang also shook his head with a smile, and replied: "Commander, I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. I estimate that the casualties caused to the Japanese army will not be large, but they will not be too small. It is still possible to kill tens of thousands of little devils." Made it!"

Tang Qiuquan smiled and said: "Don't have too much hope. Under the attack of our overwhelming air and sea artillery fire, the Japanese Third Brigade was wiped out, which is enough to wake up the Japanese commander. On the surface of the Japanese army in Mokpo, I am afraid that the Empty!"

In the sky, Le Yiqin was driving a fighter plane, observing the situation on the ground, "Report to the commander, the first wave of bombers has dropped bombs! Please return!" The voice of the commander of the bomber formation came from the headset.

Le Yiqin looked at the Japanese positions on the ground, rolling dark red smoke clouds, and said: "You can return, the second wave of formations will start bombing!" Then, he turned on the communication channel of the escort fighter formations, "Before the first regiment, the second regiment Sixty kilometers out of the Mokpo battlefield, guard towards Kyushu Island, the third regiment, after the bombing is over, evaluate the bombing effect!"

From the bottom of his heart, Le Yiqin is not satisfied with dispatching more than 10 bombers and only bombing for [-] minutes. According to his idea, repeated bombing for one and a half hours, even a little devil hiding in an underground fortification , I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties, I don't believe it, if hundreds of tons of heavy aerial bombs are dropped, won't the little devil's underground fortification collapse?

However, the theater command only gave the bomber fleet three 10 minutes of bombing time, and the air superiority could not be manifested. Is it a waste?Le Yiqin secretly slandered, which made him very upset. Although the situation of the Japanese army's position was not known because of the smoke cloud caused by the bomb, which blocked the view, he concluded intuitively that the effect of the bombing was It would not be very ideal. The surface positions of the Japanese army must have disappeared. What about the underground fortifications?

However, these are not the focus of Le Yiqin's attention. The bombers have not achieved any effect. The artillery fire on the ground and sea will also make the little devil suffer. His attention is on the direction of Kyushu Island. The commander of the little devil's air force will not remain indifferent!

"Qingdao Ground Air Commander, I'm Le Yiqin, Japanese aircraft in the direction of Kyushu Island, is there any sign of dispatch?" Because the detection range of the airborne radar is limited, he still called the Qingdao Ground Air Commander.

Liu Cuigang smiled slightly and picked up the microphone in the Qingdao Ground Air Commander, "I am the Qingdao Ground Air Commander. So far, radar stations around the world have not found any signs of Japanese aircraft taking off in the direction of Kyushu Island!" That's enough, old man The buddy commanded the air battle, and to the level of proficiency, sending some fighter jets to the direction of Kyushu Island for reconnaissance and security is a matter of common sense, and there is no need to remind yourself.

Liu Cuigang was also puzzled. The Japanese Army Air Corps on Kyushu Island did not respond when the Mokpo Japanese army position was bombed so violently?

Hearing Liu Cuigang's words, Le Yiqin frowned. His puzzlement was the same as Liu Cuigang's. Could it be that the little devil's air commander on Kyushu Island just watched the Mokpo camp being bombed?

Major General Sato, Commander of the United Air Force on the Korean Peninsula, Kyushu Island, Japan, Saga Air Force Base, looked at the telegram just sent by General Tanaka, his eyes flickered. In the telegram, General Tanaka announced that the Mokpo Imperial Army The position is being violently bombed by the bombers of the Independent Division. Preliminary observations from the forward positions show that the number of bombers dispatched by the Air Force of the Independent Division has reached more than [-]!

General Tanaka requested that the Korean Peninsula Air Force earnestly fulfill its mission and dispatch fighter jets to attack the bombers of the independent division that were bombarding the Imperial Army's positions indiscriminately. If you are in the mood to avoid war, the commander will report the real situation directly to the base camp!

"Threatening me?" Major General Sato sneered. In his opinion, General Tanaka's request was simply a layman among laymen. More than 400 bombers, according to the basic principle of escort, the Air Force of the Independent Division At least [-] fighters were dispatched. The number of fighters in the independent division far exceeded the number of fighters in the own division. It would be foolish to fight now.

Major General Sato was also afraid for a while, but thanks to a telegram from the headquarters, otherwise, the bombers and fighters he sent out would have collided head-on with the fleet of the Independent Division over Mokpo, and he knew very well what the consequences would be.
