"We will continue to provide you with support. But we will only provide it when we retreat to the sea. Please understand!"

Shunroku Hata immediately wanted to throw the phone down when he heard this. Now is the time when the Shanghai defenders are in the most danger. The group leader of the Third Flying Group, Toshi Kinoshita, who came to support him, was completely stunned.

His flying group now has less than a hundred fighters left. The huge losses made Kinoshita tremble. It can be said that the third flying group has almost lost the ability to continue fighting.

Tired pilots, hugely depleted fighter planes, and almost bottomed out fuel... Kinoshita Satoshi felt that if he went to war again, the only result would be that the entire army would be annihilated on the battlefield. And they would be surrounded and killed by the National Defense Forces.

"Your Excellency, Commander. Although our fighter planes can compete with the National Defense Force's fighter planes in combat, the unfortunate thing is that our pilots still have too little actual combat experience, and the number of fighter planes is also at a disadvantage..."

Lieutenant Colonel Gambashi Saburo of the 16th Flying Squadron, who had a bandage on his arm, said in a low voice: "Under such circumstances, we can only fight until now because of the immortal martial arts of the Imperial Warriors..."

Also listening to the Lieutenant Colonel's report was General Hata Shunroku. He knew that this was Kinoshita Toshita telling him that the Third Flying Group no longer had the ability to fight.

"Kinoshita-san, thank you for everything you have done for our China Expedition Force..." Shunroku Hata took off his glasses tremblingly. Kinoshita couldn't bear to look at Shunroku Hata's trembling hands.

"I hope you will evacuate to Zhoushan. I have contacted the navy. They will find a way to get you to evacuate..."
