The matter of renting Jeju Island was finally completed. Kang Dongyeo discussed with Kim Ying-sun, an anti-Japanese coalition forces far away in North Korea for two days. After all, it was a very distant thing for Kim Ying-sun and others to drive away the Japanese and make North Korea independent or form a government. Now we agree to get the aid first, which is the most realistic.

After thinking it through, on July 7th, Jiang Donglie finally signed an aid clause with Su Rui. In this aid clause, Su Rui used airdrop or sea transportation to assist the North Korean Anti-Japanese Alliance in the name of the Fourth War Zone by airdrop or sea transportation, 300 Mauser rifles, 300 mp38 submachine guns, 100 Maxim machine guns and several food and clothing. The subsequent aid will be determined depending on the situation, and the North Korean Anti-Japanese Alliance promised to give the Jeju Island Concession to China after obtaining power, and after the war, China also had priority exploration and mining rights for North Korean minerals.

On the surface, this treaty seems to be full of loopholes and is also unreliable. After all, Su Rui signed an agreement with Jiang Donglie in the name of the Fourth War Zone rather than the central government. This will lead to more variables in the future, and it is easy for North Korea to find excuses if it wants to deny it.

But Su Rui didn't care, because he just needed a name for a name that would be able to enter North Korea in the future. With this agreement, it was enough. After all, what could be said in the end was strength, not an agreement. And just after Su Rui and Jiang Donglie signed this agreement, looking at the excited Jiang Donglie, while he smiled on his face, he thought to himself: "It's time for the Japanese to come to pick up the fleet of the 2nd and 3rd Division, right? It's time for them to know how powerful we are..."

From July 7th at 10:00 am, the weather is clear

On sunny days, the sea always looks particularly gentle. It is like a passionate girl, shyly showing her charming and gentle side to people. The waves sway gently, as if the girl gently stroked her lover's face with her gentle hands.

General Endo Kiichi, the commander of the First Task Force, stood in the command room of the Akagi, and looked at the Akagi aircraft carriers, the more than ten destroyers and sixteen large transport ships sailing on both sides of the Akagi, not only did he not have a trace of satisfaction in his heart, but he showed a faint feeling of melancholy.

In fact, Kiichi Endo agrees with this voyage to rescue the Japanese army trapped in Fuzhou, because the cost of this operation was too great. Others don’t know, but Kiichi Endo knows it very well. Although the Japanese Navy is now known as the third in the world, its own family knows its own affairs and how much moisture is in this third place.

To outsiders, the aircraft carrier formation is very imposing when it is opened. Ordinary people will only see its mighty power when they see it. But as the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement and experts look at the tricks. This aircraft carrier formation looks like an aircraft carrier and a battleship. It seems very majestic, but in fact, the fuel consumed by an aircraft carrier formation is very amazing. The fuel consumed every hour is calculated in tons. In addition, the fleet's weapons, aircraft maintenance, and various supplies and other supplies are provided, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the navy is a gold-swalking beast.

Japan, a barren island country, has raised a navy called the third in the world. The national strength it will consume can be imagined. Therefore, although Japan's military expenditure is allocated to the navy every year, those naval generals still have to make careful living, just like this operation to rescue the Second Third Division was disapproved by many naval generals. But in the face of the order directly suppressed by the base camp, they could only surrender.

Shaking his head vigorously and trying to throw away the distractions in his heart behind him, General Kiichi Endo said to Ugaki, the chief of staff of the fleet who had been standing behind him, "Ugaki-kun. When was the last time we contacted the 2nd and 3rd Division?"

Ugaki said without hesitation: "The last time we contacted Fuzhou was two hours ago. The second was that the regiment commander Yoshimoto Satoshi said that their situation was very bad. They just repelled a large-scale attack by the Chinese people last night. Now they can fight only more than 20,000 troops. Only more than 16,000 people can fight. And there is no clothing and bullets, and the morale of the troops is extremely low."

Endo Kiichi sighed lightly and said, "Their situation is not optimistic. Although I have never learned infantry tactics, it seems that if there is no support, they will be able to support them for up to three days. Now all we can do is to try to rush to Fuzhou and pick them up." Speaking of this, Endo Kiichi's voice became very low. Although the Japanese army and the navy were fighting fiercely, they should be happy to hear that the two most elite divisions of the army were beaten so badly, but when they thought that these two divisions, which were supposed to have 60,000 elite troops, were beaten to only more than 20,000 people, even if they fought hard, they couldn't help feeling sad.

Yu Huan Chan didn't think so much. He thought about it before saying, "Master Commander, if it goes well, we can arrive in Fuzhou tonight, so that we can take advantage of the night to pick up the 2nd and 3rd Division and leave here as soon as the sky is dawn. Otherwise, we will be in trouble when the Chinese plane arrives."

When it comes to aircraft in the Fourth War Zone, even the Japanese Navy, which has always been arrogant, has changed its temper. In recent years, both Japan's China Airlines and HNA have suffered too much in their hands. Although Japan relied on its own national strength to supplement Sun Hao's flight troops, Japan's aircraft and pilots were not blown by strong winds, especially the rapid loss of pilots, even with Japan's talent reserves, it was difficult. Especially HNA, they have always pursued an elite policy. Their naval pilots are far higher than those of China Airlines in terms of experience and quality, but the replenishment of personnel is even more difficult, so the navy is most distressed about the losses of personnel.

Endo Kiichi thought about it in his mind. Now the three aircraft carriers he brought, the Achimasa, Kaga and the Dafeng, had more than 200 carrier-based aircraft, of which about 150 fighters. If he encountered the Chinese, as long as large-scale air battles occurred from time to time, the fighter jets in his hand could still ensure the safety of the fleet.

Thinking of this, Endo Kiichi said: "This is indeed a problem, but I don't think the Second and Third Division can all withdraw in one night. After all, the Chinese people have surrounded them on all sides. If there is any abnormality in them, it will be easy for the Chinese people to detect it, so it will be difficult to say."

Yu Huanzang said viciously: "How much can you withdraw? After all, we cannot take the precious warships of the empire to take risks for those 'mud legs'."

"Well, that's true." Although Endo Kiichi was a little unbearable, he still agreed with Yu Huan Chan's words. After all, Japan is an island country with poor resources. They used the national strength to build a third-largest navy in the world. How could they take risks for those mud legs on the road worth only eight cents of stamps?

Just as Endo Kiichi and Yuhuan Chan were discussing how to rescue, on the clouds more than 6,000 meters above the Japanese fleet, an F-6a type reconnaissance aircraft painted with sky blue was quietly observing the movements on the sea above the clouds more than 5,000 high.

The f-6a reconnaissance aircraft is a two-seat reconnaissance type of the P-51 Mustang fighter. It canceled the weapons on the aircraft and equipped with cameras and large long-wave radio stations. The communication distance increased from more than 100 kilometers to more than 300 kilometers. It is an excellent reconnaissance aircraft.

Seeing the vast fleet on the sea, the observer sitting in the back seat of the F-6a reconnaissance plane holding a telescope looking down with a look of shock and surprise on his face, he immediately shouted loudly, "Sir, look, discover the fleet!"

The pilot sitting in the front row was shocked and asked loudly: "Report their heading number and ship model immediately!"

The observer shook his head: "No, our current flight altitude is too high and we can't see clearly. We must lower the altitude, but if we lower the altitude, we may be at risk of being discovered by the Japanese."

Although the F-6a reconnaissance aircraft was modified from the P-51, it was not armed at all. If the Japanese were caught up, they could resist the only weapon they could resist was a pistol hanging around their waists.

The pilot in front gritted his teeth, "I'm afraid of being discovered. If you're not sure, we can turn around and run away immediately. Even those Japanese can't catch up with us."

After saying that, he pushed the joystick, and the blue and white fighter plane immediately turned into a light flying swallow and rushed towards the lower. When the plane descended to a height of three thousand meters, the observer sitting behind opened the radio and connected the base while taking pictures of the fleet below.

"Base! Base! I am Haiyan 5. We discovered the Japanese fleet, repeat it, and discovered the Japanese fleet!"

"Haiyan 5, report the position and scale of the enemy fleet immediately, right away!"

"Yes! According to preliminary observations, the Japanese fleet below has three aircraft carriers, fifteen warships of various types and sixteen destroyers. The current location is 3514, 5484, and they are heading towards Fuzhou! Repeat..."

Ten minutes later, the telegram was placed in front of Su Rui's desk.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, a trace of light appeared in Su Rui's eyes, and he clenched his fist with his right hand and slapped him on the table loudly: "The Japanese are finally here. I will order Cheng Sheng immediately. All submarine troops will immediately rush to the sea at full speed. Be sure to give them some colors..." (To be continued...)
