    "Run!"

    At the same time that the Japanese troop transport ship was hit, Feng Xiaoming's voice also reached Luo Gan's ears.

    At this time, Feng Xiaoming almost used all his strength to push the throttle valve to the maximum gear. The sufficient fuel supply made the Merlin V-1650-7 water-cooled turbocharged V12 engine become almost crazy. The strong horsepower output made the engine go crazy.  The three-and-a-half-ton fighter suddenly became wild, as if it had been whipped, and it rushed forward violently. The aircraft galloped forward like a wild horse.  Luo Gan at the back was not to be outdone, and he also followed suit. The two planes were like two frightened swallows flying through the dense artillery fire. When they finally broke out of the fire net, Luo Gan finally  I found that my back was completely soaked with sweat at some point.

    Just as Feng Xiaoming and his two men were desperately trying to avoid the fire, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier "¤½¤¦¤ê¤å¤¦" (meaning Soryu in Japanese) was written on the side of the ship, the commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Keizo Ueno, was facing him and delivering a message.  Qi cursed loudly, "Baga Ya Lu, are you blind? You can't even shoot down two planes!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I'm really sorry, we"

    Another officer¡¯s explanation voice came from the communicator, but no matter how he explained, he could not hide the fact that the two planes that circled his head several times had escaped.

    "Ueno-kun, please stop blaming the warriors of the empire. Now is not the time to hold people responsible. The most important thing now is to quickly rescue the wounded on the two troop carriers!" At this time, a voice came from the side.  , this man is short and thin, with a Danren beard on his face, and a cunning and ferocious look in his eyes.  He was Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi, who was the commander of the Second Division at the time.  He suppressed his anger and said: "Ueno-kun, those two China planes have escaped. Please immediately order the emergency repairs of those two troop transport ships and rescue the wounded. Those imperial warriors should not die so needlessly!"

    Feeling that the noble navy like him had lost face today in front of the "mud-legged" army, Ueno Keizo was also very annoyed.  He gritted his teeth and spoke loudly into the transmitter: "Immediately order the hit troop carrier to report the hull damage, and at the same time, immediately rescue the sick and wounded, and at the same time send two more ships to approach to see if they need rescue!  "

    "Hai!"

    After a while, the information was quickly passed over from the front.  Although the two troop carriers were hit by several rockets each, fortunately they were not hit critically, and rockets are not known for their penetrating power, so the two troop carriers were not seriously injured, but the  The soldiers were in bad luck.  Some of the rockets exploded on the deck, while others penetrated some thin steel plates and then entered the cabin and exploded.  In addition, the Japanese have a tradition of not treating soldiers as human beings. In order to save space, each cabin is packed with soldiers as densely as sardine cans. Therefore, the effect of a rocket exploding in a cabin is no less than that of a rocket in a cabin.  A large bomb was thrown into the sealed space, and the Japanese soldiers in the entire room were directly blown into minced meat.  In this attack alone, the number of casualties on the two troop transport ships reached nearly a thousand.

    After receiving the news, Yoshimoto Sadao shook his body, and a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.  This is an army of thousands of people.  It's almost the size of a brigade. It's so frustrating to be attacked all at once without even firing a shot. This is really frustrating. When has the Second Division ever suffered such a big loss?  Therefore, even though Yoshimoto Sadatari was very scheming, he could not bear this blow. He gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice: "Ueno-kun, thousands of our imperial warriors lost thousands of people under the layers of protection of your navy.  You must give me an explanation, otherwise I will report the matter to the base camp and let the base camp handle it!"

    Ueno Keizo¡¯s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at the moment.  He was already in a very irritable mood and said impatiently after hearing Yoshimoto Seiichi's threatening words: "Don't worry, I will naturally take up this responsibility, but I would like to advise you, this is the sea after all, we  The Navy is not your babysitter. Sometimes you have to learn to take care of yourselves too!"

    "Nani, what are you talking about?" Yoshimoto Teiichi was furious. He was about to scold this guy loudly, but he happened to see Ueno Keizo's face that was darkened by the sea breeze. Then he remembered that he came here.  At sea, people like myself are still standing on other people's territory. If we really anger the navy guys in front of us, we will not get the good results.  Not to mention anything else, but when they landed, they only had to hang themselves out in waist-deep water, which was enough to make them, landlubbers, feel better.

    Thinking of this, Yoshimoto Teiichi swallowed the anger in his chest and said angrily: "I don't care what you do, but the first thing you have to do now is to rescue the wounded quickly. In addition, the fleet's whereabouts have been exposed, so let's continue  It is not appropriate to carry out the original plan, so I suggest that another emergency meeting be held.?? meeting to re-discuss the issue of our landing point.  "

    Forty minutes later, several generals from the army and navy were already sitting in a small conference room on the Chicheng aircraft carrier.  They include Lieutenant General Keizo Ueno, commander of the escort taskforce, Lieutenant General Yoshihiro Yamada, commander of the Akamai aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teichi, commander of the second division, Lieutenant General Fusotaro Toshima, commander of the third division, and others.

    Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi first broke the silence, "Everyone, everyone already knows what happened just now. The Chinese plane has discovered us. That means our whereabouts this time have been exposed. Our original plan to raid Putian  Can the plan continue? Please express your opinions."

    After Yoshimoto Seiichi finished speaking, there was still silence in the conference room. Several naval generals and officers just sat on the chairs with their arms folded. The expressions on their faces showed their indifference. It was obvious that they regarded the matter as none of their business.  The mentality of hanging up is very good. Anyway, for them, it is the same wherever they land. It is nothing more than moving the fleet to wherever they go.  Finally, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi, commander of the Third Division, said: "Gentlemen, I think that since the Chinese have discovered our whereabouts, the plan to log in to Putian is obviously no longer advisable. As for the waiting place for the landing, we  You can¡¯t make the decision without authorization, you should report it to the Central China Front Army Headquarters, and it won¡¯t be too late to wait for Commander Gangcun to make a decision before implementing it.¡±

    "But the problem now is that the Chinese have discovered us. Maybe their bomber group has taken off at this moment. Do we still have this time to wait any longer?" The person who said this was Yamada Yoshii, the captain of the Chicheng. Just now  The appearance of the two Chinese fighter jets had deeply stimulated his sensitive nerves. After being besieged by more than a dozen Zero fighter jets, the two Chinese fighter jets shot down a Zero fighter jet and dropped the bombs it carried.  Being able to escape calmly enough was no less than a slap in the face.  Therefore, at this time, he only felt that his stomach was bulging with anger.

    "Okay, now is not the time to argue. After what happened just now, I have reported what happened to Commander Okamura. I believe Commander Okamura's order will be issued soon, but before that we have to decide  One thing is that after the incident just now, in order to avoid the Chinese bombers, our fleet must be evasive, but where should we avoid it? Do you have an idea in your mind?"

    Ueno Keizo frowned and spoke while feeling a little headache.  Just now, the officers below came to report that the two troop carriers that were shot by Chinese aircraft not only suffered heavy losses in personnel, but also suffered some damage to the hulls. There was also something wrong with the power system, so the speed per hour dropped from  The speed dropped from 18 knots to 13 knots. It is estimated that it will take several days to repair. This will seriously slow down the overall speed of the fleet.

    Major General Katayama Riichiro, commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division, stood up and shouted loudly: "I think the fleet should immediately turn around and sail to Fuzhou, then land in Fuzhou, and rush to Minqing as soon as possible to join the 63rd of Minqing."  Reunion with the 93rd Division, and then defeat the entire army at lightning speed."

    Major General Kiguchi Seiichi, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division, retorted: "But Commander Okamura hasn't called back yet. If we do this rashly, if we are halfway through the march, Commander Okamura calls us and asks us to follow the original plan.  March, what should we do? Then turn around?"

    "Call back?" A major general in Katayama sneered: "Katechi-kun, even the Chinese people know that the general will not obey military orders abroad. As a major general, can you not even compare with those Chinese people?"

    "Baga Yalu!" As soon as Katayama Riichi said the words, the grumpy Kikuchi Seiichi immediately became furious. He stood up and slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Obeying orders is the most basic rule for a soldier. Do you want to  Are you disobeying the commander¡¯s order, or do you plan to explain it to the base camp with me?¡±

    "Just go, am I afraid of you?" Katayama showed no sign of weakness.

    "That's enough, you all sit down!"

    The commander of the second division, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teichi, and the commander of the third division, Lieutenant General Toshima Fuotaro, could not sit still. The quarrel was a trivial matter, but it would be too stupid to alarm the base camp, so they both had to go out at the same time.  Sound stops.

    After Yoshimoto Seiichi and Toshima Botaro looked at each other, Yoshimoto Seiichi said: "Now the Chinese may bomb our fleet at any time. For the sake of safety, I suggest that we turn the fleet around and head towards Putian, even if Commander Okamura  It won¡¯t be too late for us to turn around after the official¡¯s new order comes out. After all, everything else is secondary compared to safety, what do you think?¡±

    As soon as Yoshimoto Teiichi finished speaking, Toshima Fuotaro also nodded and said: "What Yoshimoto-kun said makes sense. I also think it is a good idea to return to Fuzhou now."

    When everyone heard this, since the two top commanders of the army had reachedIf they have reached a unified opinion, what else do they have to say? Then just make a U-turn (To be continued.
