After a large number of aircraft took off that day and came for reinforcements, the F4U Pirate fighter group piloted by Su Feiyang quickly escaped even after several of them were destroyed by volleys.

However, the Japanese river gunboats Fushimi, Sumida, Seta, Hira, Hozu, Katada, and Toba were all sunk by them.

Went to the bottom of the Yangtze River to feed the fish.

"Bagaya road!"

"Immediately send all the planes that can continue to fly to chase the groups of enemy planes that have escaped. Be sure to shoot them all down!"

"We were bombed and sunk a total of 8 river gunboats. Such huge losses must be paid with blood, otherwise I will not be able to explain to His Majesty and the Navy Headquarters!"

When Commander Hasegawa Seiichi received the damage information of the Third Fleet under his command, he immediately roared angrily.

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

Then all the senior naval officers around him quickly nodded and bowed in agreement.

The order to pursue was quickly conveyed to all the Japanese aircraft that were still able to continue flying operations, so that their Japanese pilots immediately drove their fighter jets to continue to pursue the remaining F4U pirate fighter groups led by Liu Feiyang.

...

...

However, these Japanese aircraft groups did not pursue the remaining F4U pirate fighters commanded by Liu Feiyang.

So the furious Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa immediately increased his fleet of carrier-based aircraft and bombers, and continued to bomb the Madang Fortress indiscriminately.

Regarding such crazy retaliatory actions by the Japanese army,

Jiang Defense Commander-in-Chief Liu Xing, the 53rd Division, the 167th Division and the Madang Fortress Headquarters and all the national officers and soldiers were almost crying.

Because the Japanese army had never experienced such crazy retaliatory bombing, their casualties continued to increase. As for all the air defense fortifications on the Madang Fortress, they were also bombed and destroyed.

"Are the Japanese going crazy? Or are they already ready to attack us?"

"Why are the air strikes so frequent and intensive today?"

"Our defenses have been blown up by them. What should we do now?"

"If we continue to be bombarded by them like this, our casualties will become more and more serious!"

After the Japanese army's fourth bombing was completed, Li Yunheng, the commander of the 16th Army who originally looked nonchalant, was also impatient and asked Liu Xing, the commander-in-chief of Jiang Defense.

Although this officer did not become an officer like Xue Weiying of the 167th Division who was ordered to go to aid Madang, delayed with excuses, did not obey orders, and suffered heavy military losses during the Anti-Japanese War, he was the second officer to be captured during the Anti-Japanese War after Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division.

The first batch of graduates of Whampoa Military Academy who were executed under military law.

But because he did not actively fight against the Japanese army, he was eventually dismissed by the chairman of the committee.

"Report to the Chairman immediately!"

"The current battle situation is so complicated, we can only wait for the Chairman's instructions!"

"In addition, after the Japanese aircraft fleet stops bombing, all troops must be prepared to prepare for the Japanese fleet to launch the next attack at any time, especially to prepare for the landing operations of the Japanese Marine Corps. We must not be fooled by their landing on our country.

Fortress!"

Regarding the inquiry from Commander Li of the 16th Army, Liu Xing, the commander-in-chief of Jiang Defense, immediately issued the order without thinking.

Because at this moment, he was also in a very irritable mood, because it was also the first time for him to face such intensive and crazy bombing by the Japanese army. The worst thing was that when the Japanese army conducted bombing just now, he did not carry out the bombing here at Madang Fortress.

Follow the command layout to counterattack,

Therefore, he was also very worried that if something went wrong at the Madang Fortress, the Chairman would probably cause trouble for him once he was held accountable.

He didn't want to be punished by military law.

After issuing the order, Liu Xing, the commander-in-chief of Jiang Defense, had no time to pay attention to Commander Li of the 16th Army. Instead, he was busy looking at how to build the fortifications of Madang Fortress that were destroyed by Japanese aircraft.

And look at how many officers and soldiers were injured or killed. In short, there are still many things that need him to deal with.

But while he was doing this,

"Commander! Something bad has happened!"

"Xiangkou has fallen!"

"The Japanese aircraft group also bombed there, and the Japanese Marine Corps and the Botian detachment also conducted landing operations there!"

"The place has fallen!"

"More than 7,000 people from the Botian detachment, as well as more than a thousand Japanese Marines, have successfully defeated the 313th Regiment of the 53rd Division that defended Xiangkou. Many soldiers were killed, and the remaining ones also escaped with injuries.

We’ve arrived at the Changshan area!”

However, the communications officer Yan Zhengsheng hurriedly ran to him with a panicked expression to report.

"What!"

"Where is their commander?"

Hearing this, Liu Xing, the commander-in-chief of Jiang Defense, felt his heart sink immediately and immediately asked.

"Isn't their commander called by you, Commander, and Commander Li to attend the college graduation ceremony for fighting against the Japanese?"

In response to Jiang Defense Commander-in-Chief Liu Xing's questioning, communications officer Yan Zhengsheng was surprised for a moment, and then with cold sweat on his head, he responded bravely.

"Ah! This..."

After hearing this answer, Commander-in-Chief of Jiang Defense Liu Xing suddenly became embarrassed and his old face burned.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

...

...

And at this time,

The troops led by Li Jinjiang and Yang Bo had already arrived in the mountains and forests near Madang, hiding, waiting for Liu Feiyang's next combat instructions.

However, it was at this time that Li Jingang received the bad news that the Japanese Botian detachment had cooperated with the Japanese Marine Corps to capture Xiangkou.

"Xiangkou was really captured by Japanese troops!"

"It's amazing that Tuanzuo guessed so accurately!"

When Li Jinjiang read the telegram, he immediately admired Liu Feiyang again.

Because Liu Feiyang guessed correctly this time, Xiangkou would eventually fall under the clutches of the Japanese army.

"Then what should we do next? We have been hiding here for almost two days!"

"Our food is limited! Chief Li!"

But at this time, Yang Bo was very worried.

"I don't know if this will be announced! But I believe that our regiment agrees that there will be new combat instructions. It's just that he may be busy with something and didn't contact us right away!"

"And didn't the leader say that if he hasn't contacted us in three days, then we can find a way to go back to our base camp?"

"So don't worry too much. Many people are looking at us officers now! Once we are too worried and timid, we will affect the morale of these soldiers to kill the Japanese!"

"So we have to set a good example and behave!"

Regarding Yang Bo's worries, Li Jinjiang trusted Liu Feiyang very much and persuaded and reminded Yang Bo.

"Ah! This... I understand, Chief Li!"

When Li Jingang said this, Yang Bo, who held the same position, said awkwardly.

Although his current military position was the same as Li Jingang's, he knew very well that that was because Liu Feiyang's military position was only that of a regiment commander, which meant that Liu Feiyang had no choice but to be promoted to Li Jingang again.

But he knew very well that if Liu Feiyang's official position was higher, then Li Jinjiang would be his superior now, because he knew very well that Liu Feiyang was very optimistic about Li Jinjiang, an old subordinate who had been following him.

The most important thing is that Li Jingan was loyal to Liu Feiyang, so he was valued and promoted by Liu Feiyang.

...

...

But while Li Jinjiang and Yang Bo were chatting, the citizens of the three towns in Wuhan were once again shocked by the latest anti-Japanese frontline news from major newspapers.

"Big news! Madang Fortress suffered large-scale repeated bombings by Japanese aircraft, causing heavy casualties. Madang Fortress is in danger!"

"The Japanese army has begun a large-scale attack on the Madang Fortress. Xiangkou has fallen under the iron heel of the Japanese Botian Detachment. The next place to be attacked by the Japanese is likely to be Xiangshan and Madang Fortress!"

"Bad news, bad news! After the fall of Anqing, Xiangkou also fell to the Japanese army. Now even the Madang Fortress is constantly experiencing large-scale air raids and bombings by the Japanese army. The frontline situation is very critical!"
