The person who reported the situation to Koga was Osa, who was stationed outside the airport and was in charge of airport security, and after hearing the gunshots in the airport, he hung up the phone to Koga Mineichi while organizing a rescue of the airport.

Of course, at this time, Eguchi Daisa thought that it was Yamamoto Isoroku who was talking to him, and Koga Mineichi was also playing the role of Yamamoto Isoroku.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Osaku Eguchi reported: "The airfield was attacked by the enemy...... No, it's the enemy who has stormed the airfield! ”

"What?" Hearing this, Koga Feng couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" How could the enemy hit the airfield?! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Eguchi replied: "They disguised themselves as North Korean sappers, and now that I think about it, those should be Chinese!" ”

"Bastard!" Koga Feng couldn't help but scold: "Why are you so easily deceived! ”

But at the same time, Koga knows that this is not the time to hold him accountable, and the most important thing now is to minimize the damage.

So he immediately ordered again: "Quick, take the airport back immediately, at all costs, but also protect the safety of the pilot and the plane, I will send reinforcements to you immediately, understand?!" ”

"Yes!" Eguchi answered, and at the same time, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead.

Eguchi realized that his last moment had come...... This is not to say that Eguchi did not have the confidence to retake the airfield, in fact, from the knowledge of his subordinates, he knew that there were only 1,000 Chinese troops who entered the airfield.

A one-man force was nothing to the tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Rabaul, and with reinforcements arriving, Eguchi believed that the airfield would soon be recaptured.

But...... Everyone knows that the airport is not the focus, but the planes, pilots and fuel in the airport are.

Eguchi knew very well what this meant, and if any of these three things went wrong, it would mean that Rabaul and the surrounding islands would lose air support, and it would also mean that the Japanese army would completely lose air supremacy, so it was foreseeable that Rabaul would soon be besieged by the Allies.

Can planes, pilots, and fuel be saved?

Of course not, these things are extremely fragile, such as airplanes...... As long as the Chinese casually set up machine guns and shoot at the neatly arranged group of planes, then few of those planes will be able to go to the sky smoothly; Fuel, for example, is just a matter of a match.

Therefore, Eguchi understands that even if he succeeds in recovering the airport in the end, he will end up with a disembowelment and apology.

But even knowing this, Eguchi gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates: "Attack, kill all those Chinese, and recapture the airport!" ”

It was a fool's dream, with a force of more than 200 against a Chinese army of 1,000 men, and the Chinese troops were still inside the wall and the Japanese army was outside......

But the Japanese were so arrogant that they launched an attack on the airfield with a shout of bayonets, and this attack was carried out without fire cover...... The Japanese had grenadiers and mortars, and they could bombard them through the wall. But they can't do that, because the result is killing the pilot or damaging the plane.

Therefore, the Japanese army rushed inward with bayonets...... This may be because of the spirit of bushido, or perhaps because they believe that they are fully capable of defeating five times the Chinese with their own strength.

But soon they found out that they were wrong.

Bullet after bullet knocked them to the ground, and the gates of the airport were soon piled up like a hill of corpses.

At this time, the Japanese army seemed to suddenly open up again, blowing up the nearby wall with explosives packs and then rushing into it again...... This did catch the Chinese army off guard, mainly because the airfield was too wide to predict where the Japanese would open a breach.

But the Japanese charge was soon beaten back.

There were only more than 200 Japanese troops in total, not to mention that they couldn't rush in at all, and even if they rushed in, they would be sent to death, not to mention that Park Chung-hyung also took a few Korean sappers to activate the newly captured tank, and after turning around, he used a machine gun to shine on the gap is a burst of indiscriminate beating, and once again beat the Japanese army to the ground.

As soon as Koga put down the phone, the other phones rang again.

After answering the phone, Koga Fengichi couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "What? Enemies were found both in ports and in anti-aircraft bunkers? ”

"How is that possible? How can it be?! Koga said to himself, "How is it possible to sneak in so many enemies?!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The staff officer reminded him: "Perhaps, this is planned by the enemy a long time ago!" ”

"You mean ......"

"The enemy's offensive in the direction of our islands and New Guinea may be just a deception!" "Their purpose is to divert our forces and divert our attention to the outlying islands," said the staff officer. Just when our Rabaul forces were empty, they took advantage of the weakness! ”

Hearing this, Koga Feng couldn't help but nod silently.

However, this was not the time to discuss this, and the next second he immediately said to the staff officer: "Pass the order down immediately, and you must recapture the airport!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer immediately passed on the order.

Koga Mineichi was of course right to do this, because the most important thing was the airport, and Yamamoto Isoroku had looted most of the fighters that could be used in his hands in order to be able to carry out the "Operation I" plan, and concentrated most of them in Rabaul, if Rabaul's plane was lost...... That would almost mean that Japan would completely lose air supremacy in the future war.

But in fact, even if Rabaul Airport is not lost, or Koga Mine succeeds in rescuing Rabaul Airport, Japan's air supremacy will also be lost.

Because the new American fighter "Hellcat" is about to be put into service...... This fighter was designed for the shortcomings of the Japanese army's zero war, and its performance comprehensively exceeded that of the Japanese army's zero war, plus the US military also had high-quality and experienced pilots, and the Japanese pilots were basically rookies, so the Japanese air force has been in a slump since then.

Of course, Koga Mine didn't know anything at this time, and he tried to take back the airport first, and then stop the crisis from the inside out.

Even Koga foresaw that the plan of the Sino-US coalition would probably not be so simple...... It is very likely that the Chinese and American coalition forces will take advantage of the chaos in Rabaul to launch a landing battle against Rabaul.

Koga Mineichi had indeed guessed this correctly, because the other two regiments of the new 1st Division were on their way to Rabaul.

And in order to prevent such a landing of the Sino-US coalition forces, it is necessary to recapture the airport.
