Time flies, and five days have passed in a blink of an eye.

At four o'clock in the morning, Changjiang, Hainan Island, the headquarters of the No.19 Division of the Island Army.

Chief of Staff of the No.19 Division, Major General Terao Mitsu, eagerly knocked on the door of Commander Lieutenant General Ozaki Yoshiharu: "Ozaki-kun, get up quickly, there is an emergency, there is an emergency."

The voice was urgent and flustered, and a wooden door was banged loudly by him.

"What are you panicking about?" There was an unpleasant scolding sound from inside the room, and then there was a "click", a gleam of light came through the crack of the door, and then there was the sound of getting up and getting dressed, without hurry or hurry.

The No.19 Division of the Island Army is one of the seventeen permanent divisions, and it is also the only remaining permanent division of the Island Army.

As the backbone of the island army, most of the permanent divisions have been annihilated by the national army, and they have basically been wiped out in an organized manner. Many divisions have not been spared, such as the sixth and ninth divisions on Mantou Mountain. Regiment, the Second Division in Mandalay, the Fifth Division in Huangshan, and so on.

Right now, only one-third of the seventeen permanent divisions are left, and basically they have never met Jiang Haoran's troops. The No.19 division is one of the surviving divisions. By.

This unit is also one of the few units in the island army's permanent division that has not participated in the frontal war of aggression against China.

The most recent battle I fought was the Battle of Zhanggufeng back then. I fought against the Soviets. At that time, I didn't get any cheap, and was repaired by the Soviet Red Army to nothing.

After the fall of Hainan Island, the No.19 Division was transferred to serve as the island's garrison. From the perspective of the island army's senior management, the No.19 Division was a force that was good at defense, especially island defense.

All this stems from their division commander Yoshiharu Ozaki, because he graduated from the German Army Officer Academy, artillery department, and has a lot of experience in coastal defense.

After stationing on the island, relying on the superiority of sea and air, Ozaki Yoshiharu personally deployed a set of three-dimensional defense around the island, which was a trinity of sea, land and air, and named it "Ozaki Line of Defense" after himself.

Although there are two divisions of the island army stationed on Hainan Island, there is also a No.30 Division, but Hainan Island has a vast area of ​​30 square kilometers, and the resistance forces in various places have not stopped. The No.19 Division basically All of them were stationed in various places, and the main defense was on the No.[-] Division.

But this is not pressure for Ozaki Yoshiharu, but motivation, the trust of Tianlocust, and his glory. He is full of confidence in his Ozaki defense line.

The door opened, and Ozaki Yoshiharu, dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, appeared at the door, looked at Terao Wu with displeasure on his face, and said, "What's the matter with panic, tell me." The words were clean and neat, like a soldier The spirit and majesty of the superior.

Terao Wu slightly adjusted his breath, and said: "The maritime patrol force just sent an urgent call. In the direction of Yuelan, about [-] nautical miles in front of Basuo Port, a large number of warships are approaching us."

"Nani?" Yoshiharu Ozaki frowned, and said immediately, "Impossible, since the navy is all in the Riau Islands, where did they get a large number of warships? It must be that the submarine in front was scared by several transport ships."

"But... Ozaki-kun, the Zhina army is full of tricks, we should take any trouble seriously, this is an extraordinary period." Terao Wu still worried.

Ozaki Yoshiharu hesitated for two seconds, and said: "Order the 'Flying Eagle' to dispatch immediately to check and annihilate them."

"Hay!" Terao Wu bowed his legs together, then turned and went out.

"Flying Eagle" is a light aircraft carrier, and it is also a light aircraft carrier converted from a civilian ship. It belongs to the Sixth Aviation Team of the Southern Fleet and has more than [-] warships of various types under its command.

After Ozawa Jisaburo transferred most of the sea forces away, the Sixth Aviation Team became the last defensive force in the waters of Hainan Island, enough to deal with ordinary ships and fishing boats.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the air force could not see the target clearly, so the navy could only be mobilized to check.

Ozaki Yoshiharu lost all sleepiness after being disturbed by Terao Wu. He sat down at the desk, picked up the phone, but did not dial the number for a long time, and finally put down the receiver.

Originally planned to report this situation, but considering that the news was unconfirmed and it was still too early, if there were really a few fishing boats by then, then the joke would be a big one. The general in the temple didn't think he was scared out of his wits?

An hour later, Terao Wu walked in again and reported to Yoshiharu Ozaki that enemy fleets were found in Haitou Beach and Huangsha Beach, and the submarines had large-scale battles with enemy submarines. The number of enemy submarines was significantly higher than that of the locust army. , The locust army lost and was forced to retreat.

Only then did Yoshiharu Ozaki become more cautious, and paced back and forth in the office. The national army would not mobilize submarine troops to attack on a large scale for no reason. The fleet was organized by the army.

Although Ozaki Yoshiharu still couldn't figure out where the national army got the fleet, he still ordered the Sixth Aviation Team to speed up and block the coastline to prove the authenticity of the national army's fleet.

At the same time, order the frontier troops to enter the first level of combat preparation.

Terao Wu took the order to leave, and Ozaki Yoshiharu would no longer care about the time being too early, so he decisively picked up the phone and dialed.

……

Hainan, Wenchang, Island Army Southern Army Command.

Terauchi Shouichi was wearing pajamas and slippers, took the phone from the staff officer on duty, and said in a calm voice: "Ozaki-kun, is there anything that must be reported at this time?"

Ozaki Yoshiharu's urgent voice came from the phone: "Commander, something is wrong. A large number of Chinese fleets were found in the Beibu Gulf, rushing towards our defense line of Hachisho Port, Haitou Beach and Huangsha Beach from three directions."

"Baga." Terauchi Shouichi cursed angrily, almost dropping the microphone from his hands in fright, and then roared: "All eight of their aircraft carriers are in the Riau Islands, including the East India Fleet. The army was beaten to pieces, where did the navy fleet come from?"

There was a brief silence on the phone, obviously, Yoshiharu Ozaki couldn't answer this question either.

Siuchi Shouyi said again: "Has the news been confirmed? Has the aviation team had any actual visual inspection?"

Ozaki Yoshiharu said: "It's not yet five o'clock, and the aviation troops can't see it clearly, but the submarine has fought against them, and I can indeed see the shadow of the fleet, but I can't be sure whether they have an aircraft carrier."

Terauchi's face turned pale immediately, and the hand holding the microphone trembled slightly. He ordered Yoshiharu Ozaki to verify the information immediately, hung up the phone in a hurry, sat down at the desk and remained silent for a few minutes, and then ordered the staff officer on duty to immediately check the information. Find Chief of Staff Tsukada Ko.

When Terauchi Kotoshi returned to his room and changed into his military uniform, Tsukada Kou was already sitting in his office.

Without too many pleasantries, Terauchi Shouichi immediately explained Ozaki Yoshiharu's report in detail.
