"Baka!!"
"Baka Yalu!!!"
Upon receiving news of the annihilation of six divisions, the Japanese cabinet was enraged, and Prime Minister Tojo Umedo erupted in a tirade of profanities.
Six elite divisions were defeated just like that?
"Ah—!!!" Prime Minister Tojo Umetoku let out a mournful roar.
At this point, he had completely lost his mind. It wasn't because he had lost six elite divisions, but because those six elite divisions hadn't even managed to capture the island; they had all been reclaiming land from the sea!
State Minister Sakon Seizo couldn't help but frown: "Your Excellency, you should now find a way to stabilize public sentiment."
"The National League forces possessed missiles from the Hans, which was unexpected. They attacked indiscriminately, and now houses, factories, and farmland in various places have suffered severe damage, and even hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives as a result."
"Moreover, we also lost six elite divisions..."
Upon hearing this, Tojo Umetoku grew increasingly angry, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood before fainting.
He clenched his fists, his teeth grinding together, wishing he could tear the National League army to pieces immediately!
This battle was incredibly frustrating.
After a long silence, he turned his gaze to Yamamoto Isoroku. "Yamamoto-kun, you are the empire's strategist. Do you have any ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Isoroku stood up and bowed respectfully: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I believe we should consider this matter at length."
"How does it grow?!" Tojo Umetoku glared at him angrily.
Yamamoto Isoroku replied, "Prime Minister, we suffered heavy losses in the landing operation, which shows that the enemy has deployed a large number of defensive facilities on the island, as well as powerful weapons such as missiles. A direct assault will only further increase our losses!"
"During the day, we tried bombing with bombers, but the results were not ideal; the enemy's reaction speed was much faster than ours..."
Isoroku Yamamoto spoke eloquently, offering his own analysis.
"Yes, continue." Tojo Umetoku slowly calmed down, looking at him with a gloomy expression.
"So we should change our strategy, blockade the waters southeast of their Shikoku Islands to prevent them from transporting supplies there, and then... we should lock down the islands..."
"Without supplies, even if they brought enough weapons and equipment last time, they can't withstand this kind of ordeal. In just a few days, their missile stockpile will be completely depleted."
"That will be the best time for us to seize the island."
"Great idea!"
Tojo Umetoku patted Yamamoto Isoroku on the shoulder approvingly, "Yamamoto-kun, let's do as you say!"
"Hi!" Yamamoto Isoroku bowed slightly and responded softly.
On the night of May 20, 1942.
Inside the secret waterway of Yuheyu Mountain, Late.611 seaplanes and Potai Po.637A3 reconnaissance planes were loaded with bombs as Yang Chunrong gave the order.
Reconnaissance planes carrying bombs took off along the water and launched carpet bombing of Japanese factories and cities within a radius of tens of kilometers.
"Boom boom boom~~~!!"
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
The bombs fell, causing violent explosions, flames soaring into the sky, boulders tumbling, and thick smoke billowing.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Help!!"
"Waaaaaah...!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Why are we bombed even when we're on our own soil?"
"Help me—!!!"
"Emperor, save us—!"
"Where are our troops?!"
An epic bombing continued until sunrise the next day.
The cities closest to Awaji Island were the first to be affected, including Kobe, Osaka, Nara, Wakayama, Kochi, Okayama...
Busy industrial zones were devastated one after another; factories, warehouses, workshops—everything was blown up and burned.
The fire devoured everything.
Industrial infrastructure was destroyed, and a large number of residents, including children and women, were killed in the explosion.
Their homes were razed to the ground, and the casualties were devastating.
Lin Feng returned the fear that the Japanese devils had once inflicted on the Chinese people to them, exactly as it had been.
This was only the first day. On the second night, a formation of seaplanes began bombing more distant cities such as Hiroshima, Kyoto, Tsu, Nagoya, Miyazaki, and Fukuoka...
Factories, houses, and even boats along the way received special attention.
Upon encountering civilians, regardless of morality, they would unleash a burst of bullets, completely disregarding accidental casualties.
The ground is full of enemies.
The Japanese high command could no longer contain themselves. They had originally intended to deplete the resources on Awaji Island, but they did not expect Awaji Island to launch its trump card first, bombing the surrounding industrial area and destroying it completely.
Without these factories, the soldiers on the front lines would have no weapons, and those Japanese devils would have to fight the Chinese army bare-handed!
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Therefore, the Japanese army devised two plans: to bomb Awaji Island during the day and to send troops to land on the island at night. Lin Feng saw all of this.
On the night of May 23, Lin Feng sat in the command center, observing the surrounding movements through binoculars, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Heh, so they can't hold back anymore?"
A division of Japanese soldiers slowly approached the coastline in kayaks. This time, they were smarter and brought mine detectors, ready to evacuate quickly if they detected anything unusual.
Lin Feng stood in the command post, waiting for the right opportunity.
However, as soon as the Japanese soldiers landed on the beach with their detectors, they were terrified.
