At the same time, Shanghai Hongkou.

The 13th Japanese Army Command.

Okamura Yasuji got up early and was having breakfast in the restaurant with Okurahara and Mitsuto Usa.

While having a meal, Okamura Yasuji said casually: "Kun, although the Chinese Air Force did not move all day yesterday, your 3rd Flying Regiment should not relax your vigilance."

"Don't worry, Commander." Guan Dahara said, "The six teams of our 3rd Flying Regiment, fourteen squadrons are on standby at any time and will never relax your vigilance."

"Well, then I'll feel relieved." Okamura Yasuji nodded happily.

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said to Usa Mitsuro again: "Usa Mikun, the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Field Artillery Guards United, must also be used to camouflage the artillery positions."

"Hayi." Usa Mitsuto paused slightly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the Chief of Information Staff Toshi suddenly walked in with a serious look on his face. After looking around, he found Okamura Niji and the others and then walked over quickly.

Seeing this, Usa Mitsuru immediately turned dark, "It's going to be bad, something happened!"

Sure enough, Nagatsuki quickly walked to Okamura Yanji and gave a first report: "Commander, Hangzhou Azabu Airport has just been hit by a large-scale air strike by the Chinese Air Force. The runway, hangar, tower and fuel tank were all destroyed. The 16th Fighter Team stationed at Azabu Airport and the 65th Fighter Team 69 Type 96 fighter jets, except for two of which were lifted out in advance, the remaining fighter jets were all blown up on the runway or hangar."

"Nani?" Usa Miro stood up suddenly.

"How is that possible?" Guan Dao even accidentally knocked the plate over to the ground.

Only Okamura Yasuji was still sitting steadily on the stool, looking calm and composed.

However, no one noticed that there were already blue veins on the back of Okamura's hand.

Not only the back of his hands, but also the blue veins bulged on Okamura's temple, and his head seemed to explode, which made him almost suffocate.

Because this news is so shocking!

Okamura Yanji could hardly believe that this was true!

But at the same time, Okamura Yasuji felt extremely regretful, regretting that he was too careless.

Why didn't he expect this floor? Why didn't he expect Zhong Yi to take a dangerous airstrike to Amaranth Airport?

If I had thought about it earlier, this air strike would not have been successful, and the 3rd Flying Regiment would not have suffered such a big loss!

At this moment, Okamura Yasuji really regretted it.

"Hayi." Changjun paused again and continued, "Unfortunately, the two Type 96 land fighters that took off were eventually shot down. In other words, the 16th and 65th fighters stationed at the Amaranth Airport have died in name only. The only thing that is to be grateful is that the pilots have little casualties, but..."

Guan Dahara said with a dark face: "But what?"

Changjun said: "But the flight instructor seconded from the Xiapu Naval Air Force, Kuroi Iron Rio, was unfortunately broken because he was one of the two pilots who took off the plane."

"Dang." Usa Mitsuru fell to the ground in his hand.

Kuroi Iwa is not only an instructor of the Kasumi Naval Air Force, but also a famous ace pilot in the Japanese Navy. The active pilots of the Japanese Navy are basically all disciples he brought out.

Unexpectedly, he died in Hangzhou Amaranqiao Airport this time.

This is definitely a major loss to the Navy Aviation Corps.

After the news was released, I still don’t know how the Navy would blame them.

It was also at this time that Usa Mirō finally recovered his calmness and sighed: "I didn't expect that the Chinese Air Force did not bomb the artillery group of the Guard Division, but instead ran away to bomb Hangzhou Amarantha Airport. Zhong Yi, this guy is so cunning that it can't be grasped!"

After a pause, Usa Mitsunobu said again: "We can't guess what he wants to do! Whenever we think we have already figured out his pulse and waited for him to take the bait, he can always create unexpected surprises for us! Oh no, it's a shock! I'm really worried that one day in the future I'll die of myocardial infarction."

"Usa Mikun, what are you talking about?" Okamura Yanji glared at him with some dissatisfaction.

At this time, is it really appropriate to tease yourself to raise your biggest enemy like this?

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said again: "However, you have something right. This failure was indeed because we were too careless. We just wanted to take advantage of the Chinese Air Force's way back when it was dealing with the Guard Division. However, we did not expect that the Chinese Air Force would dare to take the initiative and take the lead in air strikes on Amaranth Airport!"

Usa Mito nodded and said, "Commander, the situation is difficult now. The 16th and 65th Fighter Teams were destroyed. The remaining four reconnaissance aircraft teams and attack aircraft teams are not enough to provide protection for the Guard Division's artillery group. The Chinese Air Force can unscrupulously bomb the Guard Division's artillery group."

After a pause, Usa Mitsunobu said again: "In addition, there is ground guidance from the Chinese special forces, so I am very worried that the Guards Division's artillery group will suffer a decisive failure, but it is probably a matter of time."

"Then we will find a way to stop it!" Okamura Nishi said in a deep voice. "The Chinese Air Force can air strike at Hangzhou Amaranqiao Airport, and we can also air strike at their airports. Even if they have built hidden hangars and cannot find their planes, at least we can destroy their runways!"

After saying that, Okamura Yasuji said to Guandaohara again: "Guandao, I hope your 3rd Flying Regiment will not be discouraged. You will rush to Hangzhou Amaranqiao Airport for the aftermath, and at the same time, order the 60th team of the attack aircraft to prepare for attack and carry out a large-scale bombing on Quzhou Airport at 00:00 tomorrow morning!"

"Hayi." Guan Dayuan paused his head.

Usa Mitsuru also stood up and left.

Watching the Guandaohara Yamato Usa Mitsuki leave one after another, Okamura's face finally darkened.

The 16th and 65th fighter teams suffered heavy damage, which was not only a fatal blow to the 3rd Flying Regiment, but also a heavy blow to the entire 13th Army. Even the situation in the Second Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian may be reversed. Okamura Yasuji will definitely be scolded by the base camp for this.

However, this is not what Okamura Yasuji cares about.

The most headache for Okamura Yanji is now, he doesn't know where to go to find dozens of fighter jets that have made up for the losses.

Mitsubishi has no problem. As long as the funds are in place, they can quickly produce hundreds or thousands of fighter jets.

The problem is that the funds allocated to the Army Province this year have been used up, and even some of the funds for next year have been prepaid. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance is afraid that it will not be possible to allocate more funds. The only way may be to second the aircraft from the 1st Flight Regiment of the North China Front Army.
