The other party is a fisherman...

I am not usually very conspicuous and dare not provoke the Japanese.

However, at this moment, the sharp dagger ruthlessly opened Suga Yoshijiro's throat...

Blood surged...

The water is rippling...

Suga Hikojiro struggled desperately, hoping that someone would notice this.

However, with the explosion of the cruiser, the river surface was already in chaos.

Many Japanese invaders struggled in the water, shouting for help desperately.

No one noticed what was going on here.

The fisherman who succeeded in one blow drew his dagger, dived, and quickly fled far away.

It seems that it has never appeared before.

Only Suga Yoshijiro's body was left floating with the river...

In the darkness, besides this fisherman, there were others. They silently assassinated the Japanese invaders in the water.

The shore is also very chaotic.

The Japanese invaders who rushed over after hearing the news could only shout by the river.

No one dares to go down to save people. They don’t understand the nature of water.

What's more, the naval red deer falls into the water. They are the army. How can the army rescue the naval red deer?

It would be good to inform the other party’s boss with kindness.

"Nani?"

"The cruiser was sunk?"

The fleet commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi who received the report was also unbelievable.

There are no battleships in the third fleet organization, because the battleships have no place to use their power.

There are three aircraft carriers, carrying more than 100 carrier-based aircraft.

In addition to aircraft carriers, the five light cruisers have the most powerful combat power.

Seven 140mm main guns have a range of more than 15 kilometers and are very lethal. The key is that they have extremely fast firing speed.

If it weren't for the concern that there were mines on the waterway, they would have gone up the river and occupied Hankou directly.

Several destroyers had been sunk before, so the Navy Command ordered the cruiser to come in.

In addition to intimidating the Chinese, it also means demonstrating to the Army Malu.

As a result, he was sunk again.

The blow was very big.

This is the first time that the Imperial Japanese Navy has a cruiser sunk in front of outsiders. This is seriously related to the face of the navy. It cannot be concealed. The one that sank before was not known by outsiders. The news of the blockade was blocked. It does not count.

"Where did the enemy plane come from?"

"It should be Hankou..."

"Baga! Hankou is dead!"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi vowed that after dawn, he would definitely level the Hankou Airport.

But, the problem is...

The range of carrier-based aircraft is not enough.

If it takes off from an aircraft carrier, you can only use the 97-ship attack (Type 97 carrier-based aircraft).

Hankou was barely within the combat range of the 97 ship's attack, but it was on the verge of extreme. The 97 ship's attack reached over Hankou and stayed for up to 20 minutes.

Obviously, this is a very large limit. With 20 minutes of air stagnation, it is difficult to perform important combat missions.

However, Hasegawa Kiyoshi was determined to take revenge.

The sunken light cruiser cost 30 million yen! Someone must be responsible for such heavy losses.

Or it's yourself.

Or an enemy!

"chief of staff!"

"Please give me instructions."

"Order the aircraft carrier formation to travel west immediately and arrive at the Yangtze River Estuary tomorrow morning. Then take off all the 97 ships to attack Hankou."

"Tie!"

The Chief of Staff agreed. He wanted to speak but stopped.

It wants to ask, do you want to notify the Army Red Deer Air Force?

After thinking about it, I just let it go. The wastes of Army Red Deer have suffered consecutive setbacks recently.

After fighting for so long, I didn't even take Hankou. What's the use?

The Navy can handle it by attacking alone.

...

Jinling Daxiaochang Airport.

The remaining Japanese invaders were also furious and irritable. They could not control themselves.

After being attacked, the airport in Daxiaochang was in a mess. A large number of planes were damaged and more injured.

There were also casualties. More than 100 bodies were initially cleared.

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

They shouted wildly.

Move all the remaining fighter jets and bombers out.

All are full of oil. All are full of bombs. Wait for dawn to take off immediately and take revenge on Hankou.

They swear that Hankou must be razed to the ground.

"quick!"

"quick!"

A large amount of oil was transported.

A large amount of ammunition was dragged.

One plane after another, filled with oil, filled with ammunition, waiting for dawn...

A very small number of Japanese pilots who were anxious even entered the cockpit and were ready for battle.

Just wait for the sky to be dawn, they take off immediately.

Then take revenge in a wild way!

Step on Hankou!

Step on Hankou!

...

high altitude.

Zhang Yong returned with the Flying Tigers.

It's still early, and it's not even eight o'clock in the evening.

Many ordinary people may not have dinner at home.

In winter, the day is short and the night is long.

I returned to Hankou Airport at the cruise speed, which may be around 10 o'clock in the evening.

Suddenly, a sudden whim...

perhaps……

Can you do it again?

After returning, come on and go out again.

Those Martin bombers don't need to refuel. They won't be able to use them for the second time. There is no suitable target.

The Hawke-3 fighter planes were mainly dispatched in the middle of the night.

The main purpose is to go and go back quickly.
To be continued...
