Ever since the combined Japanese fleet was annihilated in the Chongjin naval battle, the Etajima Naval Academy has lost its status. The reason is simple: the navy is gone, so why should the school train naval officers?At this time, there were hundreds of midshipmen in the Jiangtian Island Naval Academy. After they heard that Lin Yuan's troops had launched an attack, they unanimously demanded: drive a training ship and attack Lin Yuan's landing troops!

The principal of the Naval Academy is the chief of staff of Togo Heihachiro, Akiyama Shinyuki, who has returned to Etajima at this time, and after hearing the petitions of the cadets, he slapped the table angrily and said, "No! Using the training ship to attack the Linyuan landing force is courting death! Tell the cadets to evacuate to Hiroshima immediately!"

The instructors at all levels of the Naval Academy immediately organized the evacuation of the cadets, but at this moment, the phone on Akiyama’s desk rang, and he picked up the phone, only to hear the voice of the Minister of the Navy, Ito Yuheng: "Qiu Shan, I heard that Lin Yuan's troops are about to hit Jiangtian Island, is that right?"

Akiyama Shinyuki hurriedly stood up and said, "That's right, their forward is less than fifteen kilometers away from Eta Island."

Ito Yuheng said: "Let the cadets in the military school go out!"

Hearing this, Akiyama Shinyuki was so surprised that he almost dropped the microphone in his hand. He said loudly: "General, it is absolutely impossible! There is Lin Yuan's fleet on the sea, all of which are the latest warships, and our training ships are all It's an old warship, and letting the cadets drive the training ship to attack is to die! These cadets are the future of our Imperial Japanese Navy, and it depends on them to rebuild our Imperial Japanese Navy!"

Yuto Ito sneered and said: "The Empire of Japan is about to perish. How can we rebuild the Navy of the Empire of Japan? Don't say any more, Akiyama, you are a China hand and understand Chinese culture very well. ' You know better than I do."

After Ito Yuheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and let Akiyama Shinyuki yell into the microphone: "General, please think twice!" Akiyama Shinyuki yelled a few times before stopping, found his instructor, and said: "Order Candidates, drive the training ship to attack!"

The instructor then conveyed the order, and the naval candidates were all elated, and drove the training ship towards the direction of Lin Yuan's troops. The training ships of the Naval Academy were all retired from the Japanese Navy. Although they were said to be retired, they had not yet been retired The reason why these warships were decommissioned was because the Japanese Navy wanted to catch up with the trend of dreadnought ships and replaced all the old warships with dreadnoughts, and these ships were converted into training ships.

Although these training ships have a certain combat effectiveness, but at night, these warships can't hit the Littoral Combat Ships of Lin Yuan's fleet at all. The ship lost its combat effectiveness and withdrew from the battle.

After the entire training ship was wiped out, the No.30 [-]rd Amphibious Combat Division landed on Jiangtian Island. Although the defenders on the island resisted desperately, they couldn't stop Lin Yuan's troops. Three hours later, the entire defenders on the island Lin Yuan's troops immediately occupied the entire island, and the senior officials of the Naval Academy headed by Akiyama Shinyuki withdrew to Hiroshima ahead of schedule.

In the next few days, Lin Yuan's troops searched and suppressed the entire island to clear away the remaining resistance forces. On August [-], several large islands such as Yashiro Island, Nakajima, and Eta Island in the south of Hiroshima were all captured by Lin Yuan. Troops take control.

The time came to August 2th, at one o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yingwu gave an order, and the troops of the 3nd, 5rd, 8th, and [-]th divisions were divided into ten groups and rushed to Ube, Zhoufang and other places. Hayao Iwasaki Yi's adjutant hurriedly woke him up from his sleep and said, "Division Commander, Ube, Zhou Fang and other places have discovered Lin Yuan's troops!"

Hayao Iwasaki asked in surprise, "Hasn't the Kanmen Strait Bridge not yet been repaired? Why didn't Lin Yuan's troops go through the Kanmen Strait Bridge?"

The adjutant was speechless. As soon as Hayao Iwasaki got dressed and came to the command post, the chief of staff had already marked the attack position of Lin Yuan's troops on the sand table with a red flag. On the defense line, Lin Yuan's troops had a troop every ten kilometers, advancing like a grate.

Hayao Iwasaki hurriedly said: "Chief of Staff, let's analyze, which direction is the main attack direction of Lin Yuan's troops?"

The chief of staff shook his head and said: "In my opinion: the ten routes are the main attack directions of Lin Yuan's troops. The only thing we can do is to divide our forces to resist the enemy."

Hayao Iwasaki nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, divide up and resist the enemy!" The order was then conveyed to the 17th Division and the 107th, 108th, and 109th Divisions. Strong, the division of the Japanese army dispersed its strength, and they were still fighting "mobile defensive operations", let alone being the opponent of Lin Yuan's troops.

"Mobile defensive operations" is one of the forms of defensive warfare. This type of operation places high demands on both the commander and the troops, because the mobile defense has no time to build fortifications in advance, so it can only use favorable terrain and find favorable terrain on the battlefield. Relying on the quality of the commander, quickly seizing favorable terrain depends on the quality of the troops. The 17th Division of the Japanese Army fought relatively well, but the three divisions formed later failed. It collapses quickly under blows.

The 17th Division, which was fighting alone, was quickly surrounded by Lin Yuan's troops. Lin Yuan's troops immediately launched a battle of annihilation. At the same time, the No. 30th Amphibious Combat Division landed from the south of Hiroshima and went straight to the city of Hiroshima. The Japanese Hiroshima Garrison They resisted desperately, but the 24th Division, 48th Division, and 49th Division of Lin Yuan's troops landed one after another. The Hiroshima garrison could not resist, and Lin Yuan's troops occupied Hiroshima at [-] o'clock in the evening on August [-]th.

At 17:[-] a.m. on August [-]th, the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army was defeated. The commander of the division, Hayao Iwasaki, died in the chaos. There are eight major regions, "China Region" is one of them, including Hiroshima, Shimane and other counties, and the Battle of Hiroshima ended victoriously.

The victory in the Battle of Hiroshima marked the entry of Lin Yuan's troops into Honshu Island and the final attack on Japan.

At 2 o'clock in the morning on August [-]th, a helicopter landed slowly in the central square of Hiroshima. When Fade Chen got off the helicopter, Zhou Xiao, the commander of the [-]nd Division, rushed forward to greet him, and said with a smile, "Old captain, why do you personally coming?"

Chen Fei smiled and said, "I'm here to perform a special mission, are you ready?"

Zhou Xiao nodded and said, "As soon as we received the news from Shuai Lin, we started to prepare. Now everything is ready and we are waiting for you to go in person."
