Imperial Overlord

Kanda Masataka was really depressed, but he had to accept the order of the base camp and stick to this island that could no longer be maintained.

The Japanese army in New Guinea has come to a dead end, and the remaining days can only be counted in days.

"Shimada-kun..." After waiting until the destroyer Yamashita Fengwen was on left the simple dock, Kanda Masanune turned to his side and called out to Colonel Shimada, who was standing at the far end of his right hand.

"Your Excellency General Kanda!" Hearing his current top boss calling him, Shimada Zhongzuo immediately walked over, bowed his head and said, "What is your order?"

"Sigh..." With a sigh, Kanda Masataka remembered the order he received only last night, and looked at Zhongzuo Shimada in front of him with complicated eyes.

In his heart, he can't help but sigh that if a person's life is good, he can really save his own life.

After he sighed, he slowly ordered: "I received an order. This afternoon, you and Colonel Iijima will command all the planes to leave New Guinea and fly to Malaya for standby!"

This order was really a life-saving order, saving the lives of all the Japanese pilots and ground crew on the islands of New Guinea.

With this order, they will move to the relatively safe Malayan island before the island is captured by the US military.

"What? Stop fighting? Retreat?" Although he had been looking forward to this order in his heart, when the order really came, Zuo Shimada was still surprised.

On the one hand, he can't show a happy expression on his face, after all, this expression is too hateful for Kanda Masanami.

On the other hand, he really still wants to fight, hoping that through his own fighting, he can stop the US military's counterattack and help his motherland regain the initiative.

But the reason in his heart has repeatedly told him that his insistence is useless, even if it is killed in New Guinea, the fate of Japan cannot be rewritten.

"Let's retreat? What about the air defense mission?" Said Shimada, who was standing aside, pressed his command knife and asked eagerly.

Although he didn't want to surrender his life in this place, he was also frightened by such an order.

Abandoning his compatriots on the ground, and then driving his own fighter jet off the battlefield, this is definitely a kind of humiliation for the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire.

This is the attitude of the Japanese soldiers in the face of war. They do not want to die, but they are willing to die on the battlefield for their Majesty the Emperor.

"Air defense? New Guinea no longer needs air defense." Kanda Masataka sneered, and then said, "Execute the order!"

Shimada Zhongzuo glanced at Iijima Zhongzuo, and then the two of them had to stand at attention and bow their heads, and took the order: "Hi!"

Then, watching Masataka Kanda leave, the two of them glanced at each other, and they seemed to see each other's relieved expressions in each other's eyes.

"We must preserve our strength and fight to the death with the enemy in Malaya!" Said to Saito Saitou Iijima, also holding the command knife.

Whether it is the Navy or the 6th Army, whether it is the Naval Aviation or the 6th Army Aviation, Japanese officers like to bring a samurai sword to prove that they have not forgotten the glorious tradition of the Japanese samurai.

Even in the cramped cockpit of a plane, Japanese pilots like to carry a samurai sword that gets in the way.

These outlaw-like pilots would rather not carry a life-saving parachute or a burial long knife, not to mention senior officers like Shimada and Iijima.

"Real samurai, obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor!" Iijima also found a high-sounding reason for his retreat.

Then, the two walked back and said the retreat order from the base camp to their subordinates.

After returning to the base, the branches used to block the line of sight were removed, exposing the airstrip. The ground crew of the Japanese 6th Army Air Force desperately launched the fighter jets hidden between the woodlands.

New Guinea still has about 20 me-1o9e fighters and 30 kI-43 Falcon fighters left at this time.

Ground crews overcame the difficulties of maintaining the aircraft on the tropical island, keeping these planes in attendance.

The pilots, including Naka Shimada and Naka Iijima, all boarded their own planes, flying these precious equipment, and getting ready for takeoff.

Ground crews waved from the edge of the airstrip and watched the fighter jets take off, just as they would watch them take off to meet American planes.

And this time, the Japanese planes were no longer there to intercept American bombers taking off. They will form in the air and never return.

"What about these ground crews?" Before boarding the plane, Iijima saw those ground crews who had become yellow-faced and skinny because of the worsening food, and asked Shimada who was packing his bags~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Shimada He also glanced at the ground crew who had worked for him for 20 days in the distance, and said, "I heard that they will leave on the next transport ship. They are not combat personnel and should not be left here."

Because the order was too urgent, Shimada, as the commander of the 6th Army Air Force, did not receive the dispatch order from the ground crew.

So he is also guessing, and only heard about it. The specific order message was in the hands of Kanda Masanune, who told Mr. Shimada that the ground crew would leave New Guinea by boat.

One Japanese fighter jet after another took off, forming formations in the sky. The Japanese soldiers on the ground had not seen such a large-scale take-off of their own planes for a long time, and they all cheered enthusiastically.

It is a pity that the cheers only lasted for less than ten minutes, and then stopped abruptly - because the Japanese infantry on the ground realized that the direction of these friendly planes was the west side of New Guinea.

The American airport was in the south, but the Japanese planes flew west. What this means, in fact, everyone knows.

I have to say that this lowered the morale of the Japanese defenders on the ground to the extreme, and the U.S. military's attack that day was also very smooth.

The Japanese retreated several kilometers, abandoning large areas of the plains. After the U.S. military completed the advance task of the day, they did not continue to attack. They were also afraid that the Japanese army would launch a large-scale counterattack like a few days ago.

Sailor Shimada and Iijima, who flew to Sulawesi on standby, never waited for their ground staff.

Because the transport ship that picked up these ground crew members was sunk by a US submarine, these unfortunate ground crew members could only pick up weapons and join the ground battlefield as ordinary infantry...
