Jincheng coastal port.

The moment Koga Kawami came out of the air-raid shelter, flames were imprinted in his eyes, the flash of the explosion shone on his increasingly hideous face, and his eyes were fixed on the sea in the distance.

Huge flames continued to rage on the sea and on the ships. Explosions continued to be heard from the ships, and flames rose one after another.

More than sixty aircraft on a carrier were piled on the deck like burning maple leaves, constantly on fire.

In front of the right side of the mother ship's island, a hole shaped like a crater appeared on the flight deck, with flames constantly spewing out of it. The shells fell on the deck and penetrated it, and landed on the plywood before the modification, and the shells inside were detonated.

The flames were like a burning boiler, constantly scorching the takeoff platform above, and thick black smoke drifted into the sky.

Many Japanese soldiers on the deck jumped down in despair and jumped into the sea, and many Japanese soldiers were already floating on the sea.

But in front of the burning steel, everything seems so powerless.

The hull gradually tilted, and the planes on the deck fell down one by one, smashing the Japanese soldiers who fell into the sea with flames. The wailing sounds disappeared, and only the crackling sound of the collision between flames and sea water was left, which was covered by the sound of splashing water.

"Rescue!" Koga Kawai said in a low voice, gritting his teeth.

A man in his thirties, dressed in military uniform, lowered his head and immediately responded, "We don't have a boat at the moment. The sea rescue team is on their way. It will take about ten minutes."

As soon as these words came out, Koga Kawami's eyes looked gloomy. The rescue team would need fifteen minutes to arrive, but by that time, all the ships in the port would probably have sunk to the bottom of the sea!

boom!

Another explosion sounded on the sea.

When Koga Kawai looked over, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. A ship next to the mothership had already suffered a violent explosion.

The entire ship turned into a sea of ​​fire. At the moment the ammunition depot exploded, the entire ship broke into two parts, and the steel stood upright like a broken bridge floating on the sea.

Flesh and blood bodies fell from a great height, crashed onto the sea, and landed on the steel. Many bodies of the devils were hanging in the ships.

Then the roar of iron sounded on the sea, and the huge hull began to be swallowed by the sea.

The ship was slowly sinking right in his sight, and it wasn't just one ship; the other ships were not much better.

The wailing sounds and explosions have become the swan song of this sea area.

But this is just the beginning!

Because on the sea, in addition to the mother ship, there were two other ships that were on fire and experiencing large and small explosions!

The sound of the explosion continued. Standing on the shore, Koga Kawanami could only watch helplessly as he watched the ships tilting in the sea and slowly disappearing in the deep-sea port.

With artillery fire everywhere, everything seemed so powerless.

The bright red in the eastern sky is slowly rising above the sea level, and the waves on the sea in the distance are reflecting the red glow like the setting sun.

Under the sunlight, the sea surface was covered with colorful colors, all of which were the colors of oil, fuel, and blood.

Corpses were visible to the naked eye on the sea surface, or were clinging to floating objects, but flames were still burning in many places.

Everything happened so quickly that they couldn't move even if they wanted to.

Some of the surviving Japanese soldiers were sitting on a small boat, with fear in their eyes that could be seen clearly even from the Koga River on the coast.

"Sir, the army has suffered a setback since the defeat in Jin. They have not been able to annihilate the Tiger Brigade all the way to the three northeastern provinces. Within the army, the name Lin Tianchen has long been known throughout the army."

"But I think the army idiots know that we are resting in the North Sea, and they want to drag us into it." On the beach of Koga River, a middle-aged man in military uniform said in a very serious tone.

As the chief of staff, Nagano Chichu told Koga Kawai his guesses one by one, and also told them about the army's defeats one by one.

Although these were also spread widely within the navy and became their achievements that they laughed at.

But now, the mother ship has tilted and may sink at any time. Three warships have sunk into the sea, countless sailors have died, and more than 60 carrier-based aircraft have been destroyed.

This feeling was really frustrating for them. They hadn't even seen the enemy, but they had already suffered such heavy casualties so quickly.

In Nagano Chichu's view, all of this was the result of the army's collusion with the enemy and the use of the Konoe family's coordination to set a trap.

But after hearing this, Koga Kawai's gaze fell coldly on the sea. The sunlight in his eyes made him narrow his eyes slightly. He spoke in a very cold tone: "Block the sea area, send the Marines to Jincheng Port, and thoroughly investigate this matter."

"Put me on the Army Red Deer's line!"

..........

...

Jincheng, northern city area.

In the Japanese general command room, Mijiro Tani was sitting in the middle with a very serious expression.

Since the battle of Jincheng began, they have not been able to launch an offensive like the Tiger and Leopard Brigade. Instead, they have been blocked everywhere, and the resistance was very tenacious.

The buildings in the west of the city were bombed on a large scale, there were fewer shelters, and there were no streets or alleys. To put it more intuitively, it was no longer a street battle in that place, but more like a positional battle, or a position under the ruins.

The other side directly used artillery fire to clear the bunkers between each other, and just in this place, their advance was stopped.

At this time, the appearance of a figure made Mijiro Tani's face even uglier.

"Speak." Mijiro Tani saw Kudo Sanbon standing aside with his head down, so he lowered his voice and put his hands on the table.

"At Dingnanpo, the mechanized troops request tactical guidance." Kudo Sanben lowered his head and did not dare to look up at this time.

Because he was the one who personally mobilized the mechanized troops and he was the only one who knew the route, but now the Tiger Brigade was still ambushed.

This means that the Tiger Guards Brigade has outposts on every road leading to Jincheng. This also made Michijiro Tanii realize why this group of people were able to sneak into Fengtian Station under their noses and attack Chaocheng silently.

Mijiro Tani's expression darkened slightly, and he just looked at the map quietly, assessing the situation.

Less than three minutes had passed when a hurried figure once again walked into the combat command room from the side hall.

The telegraph operator handed the telegram to Kudo Sanbon, then stepped back with his body bent, not daring to stay for a moment.

Kudo Sanbon glanced down, his expression turned very ugly, he looked up at Mijiro Tani who was staring at him, and finally read it out quickly.

"Mechanized troops urgently requesting assistance, and an ambush at Changchun Ridge."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mijiro Tani could no longer sit still.

Fights broke out in three places at the same time, and there was still no news from Huludao. Mijiro Tani's expression was so serious that it could not be described.

Furious yet calm, Mijiro Tani, this time he calmly supported himself on the table with both hands and slowly stood up.

Under the watchful eyes of the Japanese officers in the entire combat command room, he stared at the map intently, with the sound of gunfire constantly ringing in his ears.

"How is the contact with His Excellency Konoe Lingsheng going?"

Mijiro Tani's voice was very low, and when he said this, almost everyone present lowered their heads.

When Mijiro Tani asked Kudo Sanbon to stay for this battle, he arranged for him to contact the people in the headquarters early on.

"I contacted the navy through His Excellency Konoe Lingsheng. It just so happens that the Chengchi aircraft carrier battle group, which was resting at Bincheng Port, arrived near Jincheng Harbor during the day."

Kudo Sanbon said this with his head lowered.

Within their ranks, it would be better for the army to commit suicide by cutting their stomachs rather than asking the navy for help. It can be said that the two armies are of the same roots but different branches, and are incompatible.

But everyone present knew, and people in the country also knew, how great the impact would be if Jincheng failed in this battle.

Mijiro Tanii also urgently needs to regain control of Jincheng, but of course he will not contact the navy directly, but will achieve his goal through a mediator.

Now even if the navy arrived at Jincheng Port, they would not take the initiative to contact us.

Just as Kudo Sanben finished speaking, a communicator pointed to the phone on the desk and said anxiously, "Urgent message from the Navy."

When the voice came out, a group of officers in the command room slowly raised their heads.

"Mr. Konoe Sosei indeed possesses a very high prestige." Mijiro Tani muttered, calmed himself down, and slowly picked up the microphone.

But the moment the phone was picked up, bursts of curses came from the receiver.

"Army idiot, I only agreed to assist you out of respect for Jinwei Lingsheng, and you actually teamed up with the locals to attack us!"

"The army is full of idiots.....Your army is full of idiots!!!"

The phone was filled with Koga Kawai's cursing voice, which instantly made Mijiro Tani unhappy.

"You idiot navy man, do you need to be responsible for what you say?" Mijiro Tani said firmly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, but there was a thorn in his calm tone.

But as soon as he said this, Koga Kawai on the other end of the phone became even angrier.

"If we find out that you're involved in this scheme, no matter how our headquarters mediates, the Army will pay the price. Army idiots..."

After saying a brief friendly greeting, the phone was hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Mijiro Tani's face was a little gloomy and looked extremely ugly. He didn't know what the navy's call meant.

What does it mean that he joined forces with the enemy to attack the navy?

Could it be that the Tiger Guards Brigade also has a naval fleet?

A group of self-righteous people who think the navy is superior to the army.

Although he thought so, Mijiro Tani had a bad premonition, and at this moment, a hurried figure entered again.

"The mechanized troops requested urgent support, hoping to get air support. They said... they couldn't hold on... any longer."

When the voice came, Mijiro Tani's face turned pale. He hadn't dealt with Jun's call, but now the bad news made him feel even worse.

The mechanized troops obviously encountered huge problems, but their troops in Jincheng could not leave now. Even if they could leave, they would be strongly blocked.

Outside, the sound of gunfire and artillery continued to be heard from Jincheng. The sound was so piercing that it made the Japanese soldiers in the command room feel uneasy.

Jincheng was constantly being eroded, and the reinforcements were ambushed and unable to get through.

Just in the silence, a burst of quick footsteps was heard. After looking at Mijiro Tani, he finally handed the telegram to Sanbon Kudo.

When Kudo Sanben took the telegram, his face froze for a moment and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

The hand holding the telegram trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the map on the table.

Jincheng, Changling Mountain, Dingnanpo, and even... Kudo Sanben's gaze also looked at the sea facing Jincheng.

"Read." Mijiro Tani said with gritted teeth.

Now he knows that it is most likely bad news, and he can only accept it now that things have come to this.

"The Cheng Chi was severely damaged by artillery fire... All sixty aircraft on the mother ship were destroyed, and the three frigates... sank into the sea... The Cheng Chi barely left the port and sank at sea..."

As soon as Kudo Sanbon said this, all the army officers in the command room looked surprised.

If they heard the news at other times, they might have gloated, but the situation is different now and they really need support.

For a moment, the group of Japanese officers who were originally afraid to speak looked at each other with serious eyes.

"Let the garrison troops in Chaocheng be fully mobilized to Jincheng. Encircle and annihilate the enemy in Changling Mountain. The troops in Jincheng will be assembled. If we fail to capture the west of the city, we will be held directly accountable."

There was no emotion in Mijiro Tani's voice, but it still made every Japanese officer present feel a chill in their hearts.

After this order, Mijiro Tani did not give any other orders, but instead stared at the location of Jincheng on the map.

This place, the choke point between the north and the south, has caused them too much loss.

Three airports, hundreds of aircraft, two mechanized units, and nearly 60,000 Kwantung Army troops. Now three naval ships have sunk. Although the mother ship has left the port, it still sank in the end.

When the light of dawn shone through the window onto the map, dense lines began to render the clean and neat map at the beginning.

In the corner of the table, where Mijiro Tanii often puts his hands, you can already see some sweat residue on it...

He was nervous...

Because he felt that the opponent he faced was always ahead of him, and the feeling that he had already lost as soon as he made a move was constantly invading him.
