Devil's Army

The sentry told Captain Zhang that they had captured two Japanese scouts.

"Did you get any information from the interrogation?" Captain Zhang asked the sentry.

"We just captured these two Japanese scouts. We came here to report to you right away, but we haven't had time to interrogate them yet."

"Hurry up and interrogate!" Commander Zhang ordered.

The soldiers used every possible torture method and the two Japanese scouts were tortured to the point of being on the verge of death, but no useful information was obtained from them.

Since the Japanese army sent scouts to gather information, they must be preparing to attack them.

The artillery assigned to them by the headquarters could no longer be relied upon.

Captain Yin comforted:

"We will strike first and attack the assembled Japanese troops. Besides, we will not return to Kunming for the time being, so the Japanese air force will not dare to act rashly. We can also provide you with firepower support."

At two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Captain Yin led the fighters and bombers from Sanya Airport and Lingshui Airport to rush towards the Japanese base in Haikou, north of Hainan Island.

At that time, the Japanese army happened to have a fleet and a troop transport ship docked at Haikou Port to unload strategic materials.

Captain Yin arranged six bombers to bomb the Haikou port, the Japanese military camp, and the material warehouses, which had no chance to fight back...

Other fighters and bombers attacked the Japanese fleet and troop transports.

The commander of the Japanese warship saw from afar a large number of fighter planes and bombers rushing towards him, and the air defense alarm immediately sounded sharply.

The artillerymen quickly ran to the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun positions.

Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were raised up into the sky.

Soon, the terrifying roars of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns continued. Anti-aircraft gun and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets formed dragons of fire and flew into the sky.

The bombers of the First Army continued to dive and drop bombs despite the fierce anti-aircraft fire from the Japanese.

The exploding bombs pushed the Japanese warships to the peak and then to the bottom.

From time to time, Japanese warships were hit and caught fire. The soldiers on the Japanese warships were busy putting out the fires while shooting at the First Army's planes.

From time to time, the First Army's planes were unfortunately hit and crashed, leaving a trail of black smoke.

The Japanese troop transport ship, which had no air defense capability, was bombed by several I Army bombers. The deck and bridge were already on fire in many places, and the ship was tilted to the right.

Some Japanese soldiers who had not had time to get off the ship were busy boarding the landing ship and heading to the port, while others jumped directly into the sea and swam towards the port.

A bomb landed among the soldiers who jumped into the sea. The huge shock wave pushed the soldiers to the top of the wave, and then more than half of the densely packed heads disappeared.

The commander of the Japanese fleet directed the fleet's air defense while quickly evacuating Haikou.

The bombers and fighters of the First Army continued to pursue, bombing and strafing the Japanese fleet.

The First Army's aircraft focused on bombing and strafing the flagship of the Japanese fleet.

This resulted in the heavy cruiser serving as the flagship of the Japanese fleet being hit in multiple places.

The sinking of the Japanese flagship was a severe blow to the morale of the Japanese fleet.

Captain Yin still focused the bombing on the Japanese flagship.

The Japanese troop transport ships, which had no air defense capabilities, were the first to be bombed and sunk to the bottom of the South China Sea.

The Japanese heavy cruiser, which served as the flagship, suffered multiple waves of bombing and was badly damaged, and its speed slowed down significantly.

The ship's anti-aircraft firepower was also destroyed by the bombers and fighters of the First Army. The only two remaining anti-aircraft guns were spitting out flames like an old man in his twilight years.

In the end, the other five Japanese warships quickly left the Haikou area with damage.

The Japanese flagship was severely damaged and its hull tilted to the right.

Captain Yin launched the final attack on the Japanese flagship.

The bombers' bombs and the fighters' machine guns continued to attack the heavy cruiser.

The wheelhouse of the Japanese flagship was also hit by a bomb. The flagship, which had already slowed down, suddenly lost power and drifted on the sea.

The Japanese flagship tilted more and more to the right, and more and more Japanese soldiers on board jumped into the sea to escape.

After a while, the Japanese flagship finally sank to the bottom of the South China Sea with a huge whirlpool.

In this battle, Captain Yin and his men sank a Japanese heavy cruiser and a troop transport ship.

This battle also killed and injured more than 200 Japanese soldiers, and the ammunition and supplies in the two warehouses that the Japanese army did not have time to transport were also destroyed in this air raid.

The major counterattack that Commander Yoshino had been preparing for was also forced to be postponed.

This battle also hurt the Japanese navy, and they no longer dared to easily consider occupying the six southern counties of Hainan Island.

However, Captain Yin and his men also suffered heavy losses, with six bombers, four fighters shot down, and ten young pilots sacrificed.
