Chapter 425 The Most Spirited Chapter

"Due to special circumstances, this chapter can only use the reserve to replace Xuesheng."

The Etajima Naval Academy, or the Etajima School for the Deaf and Dumb, is located on a small island west of Kure City.

Since its establishment in the last century, it has continuously supplied elite talents in various fields to the Combined Fleet.

In a sense, it is the cradle of the Honko Navy.

It was afternoon, and the sun enveloped the luxurious red brick dormitory. The reservists who had just finished their meal walked in groups of three or two, heading towards the Furutakayama south of the school.

Compared with the future Reiwa otakus who are indifferent to the explosion of their own rockets, the Showa men are obviously more concerned about various national affairs.

At the critical juncture of the start of the war between Japan and the Ugly, they have been eagerly discussing relevant military dynamics and actively analyzing the future trend of the Pacific War.

While the devils were still talking freely and fantasizing about the beautiful scenery of sneaking across the Pacific Ocean in a bathtub, a voice that was not very gregarious suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"Gentlemen, I personally think that the enemy is not a pig with poor fighting will and vulnerable to attack."

"Let's not talk about the profound Daiying and the powerful industrial and resource-rich Ugly Country. The recent rise of the Republic of China alone is enough to attract the attention of our brother country."

"In my humble opinion, next time you analyze a possible war in the future, it is better not to be too optimistic."

To be honest, staying rational at all times is indeed one of the necessary prerequisites for deduction.

However, in the operational staff of the Japanese Navy, personal fanatical emotions and the hot-headed all-in gambling addiction often override reason.

Just like the upcoming Battle of Midway, if Yamamoto Shichiba could listen to the suggestions of his subordinates and not threaten Yamaguchi and others with the words of suspension and departure if they objected, he would not have ruined four main aircraft carriers at once.

After all, before the mobile fleet set off, senior officers held a meeting on the Yamato for four days and three nights, using war games to deduce the possibility that the Ugly Country's aircraft carriers might wait for an opportunity to move, and finally a surprise attack to kill Akagi and Kaga.

Professional soldiers are like this, not to mention students who are more impulsive and easier to brainwash.

As expected, the voice of reason just sounded, and a fourth-year old reserve in a corporal (sergeant) uniform walked out of the crowd aggressively.

"Pah!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of flesh collision, a classic spirit injection palm hit the face of the first-year reserve. The huge force made him stagger and fall to the ground.

"Baga! You coward, do you know what you are talking about?"

"The navy of the locust country is the best in the world. Whether it is the British or the ugly country, they are not our opponents, let alone the Republic of China that does not even have a warship!"

"Stand up! Confess your crimes to all classmates!"

In the Etajima Naval Academy, the class is not a common reserve of the same period, but a mixed system of different grades.

As soon as this was said, several senior brothers around immediately responded to the call and surrounded him from different directions, with the intention of continuing spirit injection if there was a disagreement.

With the idea that a hero should not suffer a loss in front of him, the first-year reserve first stood up very aggrievedly, and then began to apologize to his big brother.

"Hey!"

"I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have said those words that boosted others' morale and destroyed my own prestige! Please forgive me!"

Obviously, the senior big brothers were not satisfied with the younger brother's confession.

Perhaps to show their status, or to rectify the bad atmosphere in the campus, they shouted with ferocious faces and louder voices:

"No power!"

"Can't hear it! The voice is too soft! I can't hear it! I can't hear it at all!"

"Do it again! Say it again! So soft! Still want to drive a warship!?"

As a newcomer to Etajima, swallowing anger is a skill that must be learned. Once someone disobeys the reprimand and spiritual injection of the seniors, the final outcome is definitely to be isolated by all peers.

Of course, if you are someone like Yamaguchi Tamon who is good at boxing and kicking, it's another story.

Seeing that the big brother had already surrounded them, the 72nd rookie of humble origin was forced to repeat the apology in a hoarse voice.

Hearing this, the leader of the fourth grade nodded with satisfaction. They always believed that hysterical shouting can exercise courage and obedience to orders.

"Good! Very spirited! I won't bother with you this time, hurry back to the team!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

Just as the farce was about to end, an instructor in a naval lieutenant uniform came over. This person had a serious face, and the eyes of the surrounding reservists looking at him were obviously different with awe.

"Instructor Hirata!"

In order to avoid being scolded, the fourth-grade representative took the initiative to greet and told the flight theory instructor in front of him the cause and effect of the matter.

After figuring out the whole story, perhaps thinking of his big brother, Corporal Morishita (Sergeant), Hirata Ichiro said to the first-year reserve with a smile:

"Oishi-kun, don't hate Fujiichi-kun in your heart, he actually cares about your future."

"I had a big brother back then, who provided me with great help in study and life. It's a pity that Morishita-kun died in a flight accident."

"Cherish the people in front of you, don't wait until you lose them to regret it."

"Hi!"

That's right, the person currently in charge of flight theory classes at the Etajima Naval War School is none other than the spiritless Ichiro Hirata.

As a second-seat graduate of the 65th class who was awarded a saber by Tian Locust, Hirata was promoted to captain of the land-based air force in just four years after joining the army.

This kind of promotion speed is absolutely unparalleled in the senior-based navy.

In February of this year, during the mission to attack the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Saratoga, Hirata cooperated with his wingman to shoot down three Buffalo fighter jets. But the guns were merciless, and he was forced to return to China for treatment because of an injury to his left arm.

While he was recovering from his injuries, the second-ranked junior officer of the Hammock was sent to his alma mater, Etajima, by his superiors to temporarily take over the position of theoretical instructor.

It is precisely because of his excellent performance and record that he can become the beloved object of everyone present.

After a meal of chicken soup for the soul, all the reservists seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. Seeing that the situation was under control, Hirata started to talk about the business.

"Notification to the whole school, please gather in the open space in front of the auditorium. Lieutenant General Caolu has important arrangements!"

······

Ten minutes later, the auditorium of Etajima Naval Academy.

Facing hundreds of pairs of curious eyes, Principal Kusuka Renyi stepped onto the podium in the shape of an armored command tower. The old devil cleared his throat and then said to all the teachers and students:

"Everyone, I just received news from General Yamamoto that our rear area was attacked by an unknown enemy!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became boiling. Because the news just announced was so exciting, even the instructors who had been on the front line couldn't contain their surprise.

"Nani?"

"What on earth is going on? The Army Red Deer is such a waste. It can't even arrange the local air defense forces well!"

".!"

The messy scene made Caolu Renyi's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

In fact, the old Japanese didn't want to disclose the attack on the rear at all. If there was a choice, it would be a better choice for the school to directly organize an evacuation nearby.

However, the sudden action of the Zhudao fleet and the comprehensive alert on Wu Shi's side could not be concealed from the reservists who were close at hand.

Considering that the enemy was likely to bomb Etajima, in order to prevent the entire school from being caught off guard by the sudden attack, he was forced to tell the truth.

"Quiet! Quiet everyone!"

"From now on, Etajima Naval Academy will enter wartime control. Anyone who disobeys the arrangements will be dealt with according to military law!"

"Pass my order! Everyone is divided into groups according to the enrollment time and specialized subjects, and under the leadership of the instructor, go to the Furutaka Mountain Air Raid Shelter to take refuge! Let's go!"

In the original timeline, when the Benzi Navy was losing ground in the Pacific battlefield, the deaf-mute school began to face Halsey's horrific bombings.

Therefore, when the reservists heard that their school was about to be bombed, most of them were extremely frightened.

However, it turns out that the daily energy injected by the senior class is really useful at critical moments.

Under the leadership of the fourth-grade big brother, everyone quickly moved according to the principal's order and lined up in front of their respective instructors.

The assembly, grouping and roll call of hundreds of people took only five minutes.

At this point, Caolu Renyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and put his hanging heart back into his stomach. Now we only need to rush to the Furutakayama air raid shelter, and the task assigned by our superiors will be completed.

But at this moment, the sharp and harsh air raid siren and the thumping anti-aircraft gunfire sounded at the same time.

The sky over Wugang not far to the east was filled with black clouds, firelight and strange groups of bombers.

······

Compared with the aircraft fleet that attacked the First Fleet and Kure Port, the comrades who attacked Etajima were definitely the easiest group.

How difficult can it be to pinch a soft persimmon?

Facing a school with no systematic anti-aircraft firepower and no aviation team to protect it, just use your face to deal damage, and it won't be a problem if you want to lick the ground.

"Captain Chiang, the Japanese military academy is just ahead of us. Is there anything we should pay attention to in this operation? How should we fight?"

Comrades have no psychological burden at all about attacking a military academy.

The two sides are life-and-death enemies, and attacking your reserve forces is a matter within the strategic bombing force.

What's more, Etajima is the only institution in the country that can train noncommissioned officer pilots/basic commanders of Hainan Airlines. In a sense, this is the mortal enemy of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

Upon hearing his wingman's question, combat hero Jiang Daoping said lightly in the communication channel:

"How to fight? Just flatten it! If the school is bigger, the high-explosive aerial bombs and napalm bombs we carry will definitely be enough to grind it into powder."

"But I'll say it first. We are all veteran pilots who have experienced many battles. I don't want you to be shot down by crooked weapons and Type 92 heavy machine guns."

"Start taking action! Be careful of the enemy's hidden anti-aircraft gun positions. After the bombing, immediately join the friendly forces next door!"

"receive!"

After finishing speaking, the comrades of the 1st Air Division relied on their faster speed to launch a dive attack ahead of the bomber formation.

Since this was the first time that the school had been invaded by war, its interior was exactly as Jiang Daoping said, with only a few light and heavy machine guns carrying the banner of air defense missions.

To deal with this kind of counterattack that is not even a mosquito bite, the comrades directly retaliate with the mosquito style.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by several loud noises, the red brick dormitory with British style was directly smashed through the roof by several heavy high-explosive bombs.

The whole house swelled up like a balloon, and all kinds of bricks, wood, broken glass and metal components were blown away by the shock wave and fell like raindrops.

Facing the Japanese reserve forces that had not yet dispersed, the combat hero Jiang Daoping dived down extremely wildly and shot four deadly chains of fire in the crowd.

After a bloody storm of minced meat, he first pulled up and turned his head, and then swept towards the armored command tower-shaped podium with unsatisfied intentions.

Cao Lu Renyi, dead!

The new principal, the general English tutor, is in place!

Looking at the oncoming fighter jets spewing flames. Most of the Japanese were a little at a loss, some were so scared that they froze in place, and some screamed and fell to the ground and burrowed into the bushes.

Although these guys are in the reserve force, they basically attend classes in the military academy. Target shooting and judo training are all courses related to actual combat. They have never experienced such a big scene.

Of course, some big brothers and instructors will still rely on their youthful blood to raise their guns and fight against powerful enemies.

But in general, they obviously lack reasonable organization. The firepower of the Type 99 heavy machine guns and the Type 92 heavy machine guns is not dense enough and lacks rules.

Hundreds of tons of high-explosive bombs and napalm bombs turned Etajima into a large area of ​​charred ruins. It was as if they were holding the most glorious, brilliant and grand school closing ceremony for this cradle of the navy. (End of this chapter)
