Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1836 The cooked duck flew away

After discovering the Xuebing Army during the attack on Zamboanga, Toshiichiro Koizumi had the feeling that the biggest obstacle to their occupation of the Philippine Islands would no longer be the Americans, but the Xuebing Army.Koizumi was not surprised by the cadet army's expedition to the Philippines.The strategic position of the Philippines is too important. It can attack Hainan Island to the north and Tainan to the east. Moreover, if Taiwan is regained, it will be able to complete the naval blockade of the Xuebing Army.There is no doubt that after the Western Expedition Fleet took over the Philippines, with the return of the United Fleet, it will definitely use troops against Tainan and Hainan, and this is naturally not what Ouyang Yun wants to see. It is also reasonable for him to send troops to help out matter.The reason why Koizumi did not rush to advance in depth after taking Rabazon and Siaton was to spend a lot of energy on "goodwill" in order to be able to bring the Philippine The archipelago has developed into an unsinkable "aircraft carrier" bridgehead for attacking the cadet army, so that it can continue to use Luzon Island as a springboard to launch attacks on Tainan and Hainan Island.

When the Ryujo aircraft carrier fleet showed goodwill to the Filipinos and engaged in goodwill activities, the Marine Corps led by Shigeru Sawada also made targeted military deployments.After merging about one division of the Indonesian National Independence Army, the Fourth Division of Osaka divided into two groups, blocking the Liyi line all the way, and capturing an important military town about [-] kilometers away from Kapatagan without bloodshed. Pagadian, and relying on Pagadian's special geographical location, established three blockade lines, intending to take the besieged U.S. military and cadet army in the northwest peninsula first, and achieve a big victory to show the Filipinos the imperial army's martial arts .

As a time traveler, Koizumi is very aware of the nature of the Fourth Division of Osaka, but he did not discriminate against the Division because of this, but adopted a series of targeted measures to reform it.The Fourth Division did not disappoint him. Not only did it perform well when attacking Sibuco, but it also did not break up when facing the surprise attack of the Xuebing Army.Therefore, when the No.14 Brigade broke through from Ipil, Koizumi did not get angry and blame the defenders stationed in Ipil. Instead, he sent an order to Sawada Shigeru to keep the camp, as long as the enemy troops were not allowed to attack from Paga. Dean formed a breakthrough on the line.

In Koizumi's plan, the No.14 Brigade must be annihilated, and he decided to hand over the task of annihilating the cadets to Yamabe Chuan Sanjian.When the news of the defeat came from Yipil that night, he called Yamabe and taught him the opportunity: "I admit that the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Division is really not good, but if the Chinese people think that they can jump out of the encirclement It would be a big mistake to go out. In modern warfare, the role of infantry has been greatly weakened, and aviation is the trump card. Yamabe-kun, I will entrust you with the task of annihilating the students in this department. The Chinese do not have aviation troops , even if there is air defense capability, it is very limited, we will use high-pressure tactics to consume them alive!"

Yamabe understood, and immediately stated: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured. We will immediately launch a combat operation to search for and annihilate the apprentice army at dawn. We have [-] hours to start this operation, which is enough for The cadets dealt a devastating blow."

The Western Expedition Fleet has absolute air supremacy in the Mindanao area, which is the confidence for Koizumi to implement high-pressure tactics.Theoretically speaking, as long as the Fourth Division can firmly hold the Pagadian line of defense, then the No.14 Brigade seems to be in danger of being chased by the Japanese Air Force and then annihilated step by step if it fails to break through by force. .

What about the real situation?

The next day, the genius came to light, and more than [-] fighter planes of the Kisarazu Air Force took off from the "Ryujo" aircraft carrier.Yamabe personally drove a Zero Fighter, and formed six groups of fighters under his command in the air, with four Zero Fighters and two bombers in each group, and flew towards Ipil in a net shape.

Don't look at how vulnerable the Kisarazu Air Force was when it escorted Zhou Fohai to the preparatory meeting for the "Global Army Asia Camp". The real level is still quite high.For example, now, including Shanbu, after they flew to Ipil, they immediately lowered their flight altitude, then maintained an altitude of 600 meters, and started a drag-net search flight.

Although the mountains in the northwestern peninsula of Mindanao are not high, they have large ups and downs. Pilots need considerable skills to keep flying at a certain altitude.Judging from the performance of the 26 Zero Fighters, the Devil Aviation can maintain this flying attitude very well. It can be seen that it is not accidental that the Kisarazu Air Force has a place in Japan's HNA.

Yamabe led a battle formation by himself, and the zero combat flight he controlled was at a lower altitude, just over 300 meters.And after flying from Ypil to Wood Lake for about a quarter of an hour, he found that there was no report of enemy situation in the walkie-talkie, and his brows could not help but tighten.

The No.14 brigade broke through from Ipil around 2000 o'clock last night, that is, they went to the Bakongan area with more complicated mountains to break through without sleep all night. Moreover, there are still about [-] people in the department, so it is not easy to hide them all, so why didn't they find it? He thought about it carefully, and ordered the formations to widen the distance. Then the plane turned right and flew in the direction of Oludangya Island.

Half an hour later, Yamabe and other ghosts had already turned around twice within a radius of 14 kilometers around Ipil, but they still couldn't find the No.[-] Brigade. Now, not only Yamabe was in great confusion Even Koizumi felt incredible.Koizumi's brain is better than that of Yamabe, and he gave a suggestion: Is it possible that the Chinese people hid in the Filipino villages, and let Yamabe and the others concentrate on searching the nearby Filipino villages.

Yamabe complied, and under his command, dozens of Japanese planes visited more than a dozen nearby villages, but the result was that the Filipino villages were so frightened that they still didn't find anything. Now, Including Koizumi, the Japanese couldn't help being messy collectively.

"The cooked duck flew?" Koizumi said to his adjutant Hatono Shaotoshi.

Hatono didn't dare to answer at all.

"Bage!" Koizumi cursed, and had no choice but to order Yamabe and the others to come back first.

Yamabe was persistent. He asked his men to go back first, and then flew the Zero Fighter around Ipil by himself. He did not find any valuable targets, so he stepped on the accelerator hard and set off The fighter plane pulled up and flew towards the "Longxiang" aircraft carrier.
