    For the commander of the left-wing position, Lieutenant General Oshima of the 53rd Division, he suddenly called himself. Kaga, the commander of the 37th Division of the Japanese and Korean Garrison Army who was defending the second line of defense in Mokpo,  Lieutenant General Oji was confused. Oshima was a guy who usually didn't deal with him very much. He was the kind of person who never got along with each other. Could it be that he called him suddenly because he kindly reminded him that all the troops have gone underground?  Fortifications, come to raise troops and question the crime?

    With the bad temper of that Oshima guy, it is very possible that he felt that he had lost face. Lieutenant General Kaga, who took the phone from the staff officer, was still very worried. The war was about to happen. If there was a big quarrel because of this matter,  It is completely unnecessary and will further affect the cooperation between the two divisions.

    "I'm Oji Kaga, am I the commander of the Oshima Division? What advice can you give me on the phone?" 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, Mr. Kaga, what are you talking about? I am grateful to you. Thanks to your reminder, my troops have all entered the underground fortifications. The first  The lessons of the Third Brigade are still vivid in my mind. Mr. Kaga is worthy of being a famous general of the Imperial Army with great foresight. In the coming days, you and I will fight side by side and serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan.  I also hope that Kaga-kun will give the 53rd Division tactical guidance from time to time!"

    Lieutenant General Oshima's uncharacteristic words left Lieutenant General Kaga confused. He couldn't use a word of response he had thought of. This was too sudden. He didn't know how to deal with Oshima.  The guy's sudden humility and enthusiasm can only be passively laughed at.

    After saying a few more polite words, I put down the phone.  Lieutenant General Kaga was still puzzled. On the other end of the phone, Lieutenant General Oshima slammed the phone down with an ugly expression on his face. He thought angrily: "If Commander Tanaka hadn't warned him again and again, when he was defending Mokura's second line of defense,  , listen to that guy Kaga¡¯s opinion, and with the 37th Division as the main force, I won¡¯t hold back my nausea and talk so much with that guy Kaga!¡±

    "Hmph. The guy who is as timid as a mouse, before he saw the shadow of the Chinese soldiers, ordered the brave and capable soldiers of the Japanese Empire to hide in the underground fortifications like mice. He still looked like a dog to remind himself, I am so embarrassed!  Not to be associated with this guy who lacks courage!"

    Lieutenant General Oshima is sulking secretly.  Suddenly heard.  There were waves of low roars in the sky, and his attention was suddenly drawn to it. He rolled his yellow eyes suspiciously, "Observe. What is going on?" he shouted to a staff officer.  .

    The staff officer lay down next to the observation hole in the shelter, holding up the telescope and looking at the sky. As he looked, his hands suddenly started to tremble.  In the dim light of dawn, in the northwest sky, under the dark blue sky, a group of small black dots quickly turned into murderous planes in front of his eyes, pressing over like dark clouds, coming from that direction.  Yes, it can only be a fleet of independent divisions!

    "Reporting to the division commander, here we come! Here we come!" The staff officer jumped up suddenly and shouted in a confused voice.

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

    "Division commander, these are the planes of the independent division. Countless planes! They are flying over our position!" the staff officer hurriedly added.

    "Hani?" Lieutenant General Oshima stared at the staff officer in surprise. At this time, all the officers in the shelter department had heard the deafening roar of the engine.

    More than 400 independent division bombers were divided into two attack waves. In the first attack wave, more than 200 bombers immediately entered the bombing channel. There was no threat from Japanese fighter jets in the sky, and there was no obstruction from anti-aircraft fire on the ground. The bombing continued.  Just like training, the bomb-dropping door under the belly of the aircraft opened, and huge aerial bombs roared down from the sky, reflecting the luster of metal under the dawn of the east.

    "Boom! - Boom! - Boom!" Balls of fire suddenly appeared, huge fireballs, rolling, carrying thick smoke and soil, stirring up smoke pillars that towered into the sky, and the smoke pillars carried whistling and rotating shrapnel.  With the trembling sound of metal, the Japanese army's position seemed to be hit hard by countless iron fists from the sky. Huge craters appeared one after another. The continuous explosions shook the dawn air, carrying echoes and spreading to the distance.  on the sea.

    Even if he was hiding in the underground shelter, the huge shock wave penetrated the soil and shocked Lieutenant General Oshima's heart. If the staff hadn't supported the division commander, Lieutenant General Oshima almost fell to the ground.  Only at this moment did he feel that Commander Tanaka's foresight and wisdom, and his luck in partnering with that guy Kaga, had he not pinched his nose and followed that guy's suggestion, it would have been this wave of bombings, and his fifty  The Third Division will lose at least several thousand people.

    The shelters are rising and falling hereTrembling amid the explosions, the soil on the ceiling fell with a rustle, "Kaga-kun, Oshima admires you!" Lieutenant General Oshima felt the huge shock waves and murmured to himself, "It has never been like this before."  Now, I admire someone from the bottom of my heart, especially the guy I still look down on.

    At Mokpo Port, Ma Chaoyang listened excitedly to the constant explosions, his eyes shining, "Commander, do you think the effect of this bombing will be any? The battle is not small!" He couldn't help asking, and kept asking.  Tang Qiuquan closed his eyes and rested.

    Tang Qiuquan opened his eyes slightly, smiled, and said, "Commander Ma, you don't think that the Japanese position was destroyed in the first round of bombing!"

    Ma Chaoyang also smiled and shook his head, 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. We can still kill tens of thousands of little Japs."  Done!¡±

    Tang Qiuquan smiled and said: "Don't hold too much hope. Under the attack of our absolutely superior air and sea artillery fire, the entire Japanese army's third brigade was wiped out, which was enough to alert the Japanese commander. I'm afraid that on the surface of the Japanese army's position in Mokpo,  Empty!"

    In the sky, Le Yiqin flew a fighter plane and observed the situation on the ground. "Reporting to the commander, the first wave of bombers have dropped bombs! Please return!" The voice of the bomber formation commander came from the earphones.

    Le Yiqin looked at the Japanese positions on the ground, where dark red smoke clouds were billowing, and said: "You can return, the second wave of formations will start bombing!" Then, he opened the escort fighter formation communication channel, "In front of the first and second regiments  Sixty kilometers away from the Mokpo battlefield, be on guard in the direction of Kyushu Island. The third regiment will wait for the bombing to end and evaluate the bombing effect! "

    From the bottom of his heart, Le Yiqin was not satisfied with the dispatch of more than 400 bombers for only 30 minutes of bombing. According to his idea, repeated bombing for an hour and a half, even the little Japanese hiding in the underground fortifications  , I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. I don't believe it. If hundreds of tons of heavy aerial bombs are dropped, will the Japs' underground fortifications not collapse?

    "However, the theater command only gave the bomber group thirty minutes of bombing time, and the air superiority could not be demonstrated. Is it a waste?"  Le Yiqin secretly complained that this made him very unhappy. Although the smoke and clouds caused by the bombs blocked his view and it was not known what the current situation of the Japanese positions was, he concluded based on his intuition that the effect of this bombing would be  It wouldn't be ideal. The Japanese army's surface positions must be gone. What about the underground fortifications?

    However, these are not the focus of Le Yiqin's attention. The bombers have not achieved results, and the artillery fire on the ground and sea will also make the little devil suffer. His attention is that in the direction of Kyushu Island, the aviation force dispatched such a large bomber group.  The little devil's air force commander will not remain indifferent!

    "Qingdao ground air controller, this is Le Yiqin, are there any signs of Japanese aircraft dispatching in the direction of Kyushu Island?" Because the range of airborne radar detection is limited, he still called Qingdao ground air controller.

    In the Qingdao Ground Air Controller, Liu Cuigang smiled slightly and picked up the microphone, "I am the Qingdao Ground Air Controller. So far, radar stations in various places have found no signs of Japanese military aircraft taking off in the direction of Kyushu Island!" That's enough, old man.  The guy was so proficient in directing the air combat that he sent some fighter jets out in the direction of Kyushu Island for reconnaissance and warning. That was a matter of common sense and he didn¡¯t need to remind himself.

    Liu Cuigang was also puzzled. The Japanese army position at Mokpo was bombed so fiercely, but the Japanese Army Air Force on Kyushu Island did not respond at all?

    Hearing Liu Cuigang's words, Le Yiqin frowned. His confusion was the same as Liu Cuigang's. Could it be that the little Japanese air commander on Kyushu Island just watched the Mopu position being bombed?

    Major General Sato, commander of the Korean Peninsula Joint Air Force at the Saga Air Force Base in Kyushu Island, Japan, looked at the telegram just sent by General Tanaka Shinichi with flickering eyes. In the telegram, General Tanaka Shinichi reported that the Mokpo Imperial Army  The position is being violently bombed by independent division bombers. Preliminary observation from the forward position shows that the number of bombers dispatched by the independent division aviation this time has reached more than 400!

    General Tanaka requested that the Korean Peninsula Air Force earnestly fulfill its mission and dispatch fighter jets to attack the Independent Division bomber group that was bombing the Imperial Army positions indiscriminately. If General Sato could preserve his strength, or  If you are in a war-avoidance mood, this commander will directly report the true situation to the base camp!

    "Threatening me?" Major General Sato smiled coldly. In his opinion, General Tanaka's request was something only a layman would say. More than 400 bombers, in accordance with the basic principles of escort, the independent division aviation  At least 600 or more fighter jets will be dispatched. The number of independent division fighter jets has far exceeded the number of its own fighter jets. It would be foolish to fight rashly now.

      Major General Sato was also frightened. Fortunately, he received a telegram from his headquarters. Otherwise, the bombers and fighter jets he sent would have collided head-on with the independent division's fleet over Mokpo. He knew the consequences very well.
