Chapter 942: Revenge After Escaping

On this night, the fleeing Japanese soldiers did not sleep peacefully, and after resting until midnight, they took advantage of the night to leave.

Although it was a little cold, they couldn't take care of it, they didn't have much fresh water, and there was no food, and if they didn't escape, they would die. And I don't know if the enemy will also start the pursuit in the middle of the night.

Yamamoto Fifty-six learned that the distance between the two sides of the army was only a few tens of kilometers, so he sent warships close to the coast to meet the retreating army and cut off the rear for them.

Forty or fifty kilometers away, the Japanese troops who fled for their lives in panic were unusually fast, and before noon, the vanguard troops escorted all the generals and officers to the boarding position first.

After crossing the interception position, these Japanese soldiers did not care about resting, ran onto the pontoon bridge with a dry mouth, boarded the landing craft, transferred them to the freighter or landing ship, and sailed to the opposite shore.

Knowing this, they lay on the boat like dead pigs, and knowing this, they finally relaxed, they were rescued, and they didn't have to run away.

Groups of Japanese troops crossed the interception position and rushed to the landing position all over the mountains. They were relieved of trouble, one by one only carrying weapons, no other heavy objects, although the scene was chaotic, but as long as they ran with the crowd.

As Hideki Tojo's troops arrived and began to board the ship, Seishiro Itagaki also fought hard and rushed to the landing site, and crowds of people began to pour onto the freighter and sail towards the opposite shore.

Due to the lack of ships, those freighters could not meet the needs of the cargo unloaded on the opposite shore, so fast ships also joined the ranks of transportation. The aircraft carrier, on the other hand, took off its planes and took off to see where the enemy was.

The advance party also seemed to be tired of chasing, and the reconnaissance plane soon saw the position of the enemy, which was only about ten kilometers away from the defensive line, and there was a large number of their troops fleeing for their lives in front.

Knowing that the enemy is already close at hand. Yamamoto Isoroku ordered the planes to support first, and the guns of the battleships were ready to shell at any time to support the interception position.

The bombers and attack planes on the aircraft carrier took off one after another and flew towards the enemy who was chasing and killing.

Qu Jun had long known that this would be the case, and he hid more than thirty anti-aircraft guns in the desert assault vehicle stack at the front end. All are vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft guns. Together with the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns on the assault vehicles, it was not difficult to deal with enemy aircraft.

The pursuing team was also one section at a time, and each section had anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft weapons, as long as the Japanese fighters dared to come, it was enough for them to drink a pot.

The planes soon roared in, and the moment they saw the enemy, they lowered their altitudes one after another, and the eagles preyed on them, and swept down. In a few seconds, you can start strafing.

But at this moment, clouds of smoke suddenly bloomed in the sky, and then the fighter plane broke out like rain hitting plantains, and then one by one the glass was shattered, and the pilot spurted blood first, and the battered plane then plunged its head to the ground. There was a loud bang and it exploded to pieces.

With the first plane out of control. More planes were shot down before they reached the firing range. Either the wings were broken, the engines were smoking, or the pilots were killed, and more than a dozen planes in the sky were all shot down in an instant.

The Japanese soldiers who saw their planes coming to help were cheering and waving their hats just now. Shouting and screaming, the plane disappeared in the blink of an eye, making them frightened, so that they had no strength and their legs were filled with lead. Unable to run, they were like being beaten with chicken blood, spreading their legs and running wildly.

"Build air defense, set up long-range artillery!"

Qu Jungang did not continue the pursuit, and when the Huya soldiers in front reported the distance to the coast, he knew that he had to stop, otherwise he would have to aim his artillery fire at the battleship in the sea.

The order was not to kill too much, to leave the Japanese army's combat strength, to tie the attention of the Japanese fleet to this, to gain space for the sea trials of aircraft carriers, and to win enough shooting ranges for new weapons experiments to avoid being discovered by enemy ships.

Stretching for more than ten kilometers of coastline, groups of Japanese soldiers in tattered clothes struggled to run on those pontoon bridges. They know. As soon as they got on the boat, they were alive.

During the escape, the scene was extremely chaotic, and people continued to fall into the water. Although he was rescued, he was scared half to death.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a sudden rumbling of cannon fire in the distance. Listening to the distance, it is not even ten kilometers, it is obviously the interception position there.

The enemy is attacking!

I had long been accustomed to the sound of the artillery of the advance army, and knew that after the shelling, it was a pursuit, and the speed of the Japanese army's escape accelerated again. Even the thirsty ones didn't bother to look for water to drink, knowing that they could only survive if they left the shore.

More than a dozen planes were shot down, and Yamamoto fifty-six did not dare to let the planes reinforce again. He knew how powerful the air defense of the advance army was, and when he was in Manchuria, hundreds of their planes went to bomb Harbin and there was no return, and the few planes left on the battleship were not enough to stuff his teeth.

"Be prepared for shelling, the reconnaissance aircraft should not get close to the enemy, provide accurate shelling coordinates!"

With his order, the ship's guns began to rise, and amid the rumbling of artillery on the shore, waiting for the coordinates from the rangefinder on the aircraft.

Enemy artillery was thirty kilometers from the coast......

When the coordinates came back, Yamamoto Fifty-six was helpless for a while.

Their naval guns have a maximum range of 22 km. Thirty kilometers, it is simply not enough. And the other side can wantonly bombard their interception positions, and even the situation with Seishiro Itagaki is the same.

The enemy's artillery did not cling to the coast, but was also built in a position of more than 30 kilometers on land to bombard their interception positions.

"Yaga!!"

Yamamoto didn't feel anything other than anger. He has miscalculated and lost repeatedly, and he is no longer so calm.

But what can he do, the gap between the manufacturers is the technological gap in weapons. The difference in speed is the scientific and technological content of the ship, not the problem of his tactics.

He had no better way than to speed up the troop movement,

Since the artillery bombardment could not help the troops on land, except for the slow battleships and heavy cruisers, a few necessary frigates to guard the aircraft carrier were left, and all the rest went into battle and joined the ranks of rushing to transport.

This time, the speed has been greatly accelerated. In addition to running the last distance of one or twenty kilometers on land, the Japanese troops boarded the ship. They quickly headed towards the opposite shore in groups, and the speed of the army decreased on the shore.

The defensive positions were no longer able to withstand the shelling and were ready to retreat. Their artillery didn't even have a chance to exert its might, just a few sounds, as soon as the test shells fell, their own artillery positions here were covered by heavy artillery fire, although they already had experience, the shells were not placed next to the cannons, but in the trenches, but the positions could not be held and would also be destroyed.

Fortunately, the naval guns on the other side's side were not too close, obviously waiting for supplies from behind, or looking for another plan to attack.

The 360-caliber cannon on this side is powerful enough to scare the advance army to death. With a killing range of tens of meters, not to mention people, even a tank is in vain.

symbolically fired a few cannons, at the front of their own positions, warning the opponent not to attack quickly, otherwise it would ......

Fortunately, the enemy did not attack until late at night. It seems, really afraid of naval guns, or rather, they did not have armor-piercing shells, waiting for the arrival of armor-piercing shells.

And the troops on the shore, at the last moment, all withdrew from the Arabian Peninsula, leaving a mess, not a single figure left, all to the other side.

This was the fastest time the Japanese army had ever transported, and hundreds of thousands of people were transported across the Red Sea to the opposite shore in nearly 24 hours.

After successfully rescuing the troops, Yamamoto Isoroku's depression was half gone, and he learned that Seishiro Itagaki and Hideki Tojo were both on the shore, and there were some generals he was familiar with, so he ordered to get close to this side of the coast, guard the sea, block the mouth of the Red Sea, and he went ashore.

Hideki Tojo and Seishiro Itagaki and other generals who had been on the run for a few months, had already eaten and drunk enough to rest all day, and in the second half of the night, they got up one after another, breathing in the air here, and at the same time, they knew of the arrival of Yamamoto Isoroku.

They met again after a long absence, and the gate of hell turned around, which was naturally very cordial. If Yamamoto Isoroku hadn't made a quick decision to transport them to this shore, they would have been wiped out by the advance army, and it would have been difficult for any of them to escape.

But when Sanmoto Fifty-six said that the fleet was British, Itagaki Seishiro's face was gloomy like dripping water, and he said hatefully: "At the beginning, in Tibet, the British were not allowed to enter India, and they were almost burned to death by the advance army on the top of a high mountain. This is all their fault, the contradiction that was triggered, this will be with the advance army again, vainly trying to exterminate the elite of our empire, how can this breath be swallowed? ”

Of course, Hideki Tojo also felt the same way, and he was chased and almost died in the Arabian Peninsula this time, not to mention how deep this vitality is.

"Can't it be so cheap, British!"

He said gloomily: "We seem to be not far from their gold and diamonds, in that case, why don't we go directly to South Africa, so that we can make up for the loss of jewelry along the way!" ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six had similar ideas, except for revenge against the British, this is indeed a good treasure place. The gold and diamonds are world-famous.

And their location, although desolate, was not very far from the British colonies. Within one month, it is designated to be able to enter South Africa.

As for the colonies of other countries. Seishiro Itagaki and Hideki Tojo have fled all the way and have become outright killers, so where do they care about one more enemy?

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, several people quickly came up with a plan. Leaving here, it will not work for a short time, and without the transfer of local troop carriers for a month, they cannot leave here. Rather than that, it is better to enter South Africa and rob the British army of gold and diamonds.

On the shore, Sun Tao didn't care what they thought, and quickly built shore defense artillery positions along the way. Although it was all tribal and had only a few towns, he was ordered to control all the lands except for the sovereign state of Iran. Even if it's a desert, no one else can touch it. Any colony, as long as it is not state-built and not independent, take it all. (To be continued......)
