Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated - Chapter 425

“Due to special circumstances, Xuesheng can only be replaced by reserve forces in this chapter.”

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

Since the establishment of the school in the last century, it has continuously supplied elite talents in various fields to the United Fleet.

 In a sense, it is the cradle of the navy.

 It was afternoon, and the sunlight enveloped the luxurious dormitory with a red brick structure. The reservists who had just finished eating walked together in twos and threes towards Furutaka Mountain south of the school.

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

At present, we are at a critical juncture of the start of war between Japan and Japan. They have recently been eagerly discussing relevant military developments and actively analyzing the future trend of the Pacific War.

While the Japs were still talking freely and fantasizing about the beauty of smuggling across the Pacific Ocean in a bathtub, an unsociable voice suddenly sounded among the crowd.

“Gentlemen, I personally believe that the enemy is not a pig with a weak will to fight and is vulnerable to attack.”

“Let’s not mention Dai Ying, who has a profound foundation, and Chou Country, which has strong industrial strength and rich resources. The recent rise of the Republic of China alone is enough to attract the attention of our younger brother country.”

“In my humble opinion, the next time everyone analyzes the possibility of a future war, it would be best not to be too optimistic.”

 One thing to say, staying rational at all times is indeed one of the necessary prerequisites for deduction.

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

Just like the upcoming Battle of Midway, if Yamamoto’s Seven by Eight can listen to the suggestions of his subordinates and don’t threaten Yamaguchi and others with suspension and leave the ship if they object, it will not destroy the four main aircraft carriers at once.

After all, before the mobile fleet set off, senior officers held a meeting on Yamato for four days and three nights. They used war games to deduce the possibility that the Ugly aircraft carrier might be waiting for an opportunity and finally kill Akagi and Kaga in a wave of raids.

 This is true for professional soldiers, not to mention students who are more impulsive and easier to be brainwashed.

Sure enough, just as the voice of reason sounded, a fourth-year veteran reserve soldier wearing a corporal (corps leader) uniform walked out of the crowd menacingly.

“Snapped!”

With the crisp sound of flesh colliding, a classic spiritual slap hit the first-year reserve on the face. The huge force caused him to stumble to the ground.

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

“The navy of the Locust Kingdom is the best in the world. Neither the British nor the Chou Kingdom are our opponents, let alone the Republic of China which does not even have a single warship!”

　　”Stand up! Confess your sins to all your classmates!”

At the Etajima Naval War School, the classes are not the same as the common reserves at the same time. Instead, a mixed system of different grades is adopted.

As soon as these words came out, several senior elder brothers in the surrounding area immediately responded to the call and surrounded him from different directions, with the intention of continuing to inject spirit if they disagreed.

With the idea that a good man should not suffer the immediate consequences, the first-year reserve stood up with great grievance, and then began to apologize to his big brother.

“Hi!”

“I’m very sorry, I shouldn’t have said those words that would inflate others’ dignity and destroy my own prestige! Please forgive me!”

 Obviously, the senior big brothers are not satisfied with the younger brother’s confession.

Perhaps in order to show off their status, or to rectify the bad atmosphere on campus, they looked ferocious and shouted louder than the other:

 “No energy!”

 “Can’t hear clearly! The sound is too soft! Can’t hear! Can’t hear at all!”

 “Do it again! Say it again! So quietly! Still want to fly a warship!?”

As a newcomer to Etajima, swallowing your anger is a skill that you must learn. Once someone disobeys the reprimands and spiritual infusion from the senior class, the final outcome will definitely be isolation from all peers.

Of course, if you are a person like Yamaguchi Tawen who is good at boxing and kicking, let’s talk about it differently.

Seeing that Big Brother was already surrounding him, the newcomer from the 72nd period, who was from a humble background, had no choice but to repeat the apology at the top of his lungs.

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

 “Okay! You’re very energetic! I won’t argue with you this time. Come back to the team quickly!”

 “Thank you, Big Brother!”

Just as the farce was coming to an end, an instructor wearing a navy lieutenant’s uniform came over. This man had a serious face, and the reservists around him looked at him with obvious awe.

 “Instructor Hirata!”

In order to avoid being scolded, the fourth-year representative took the initiative to say hello and told the flight theory instructor in front of him the cause and effect of the incident.

After figuring out the ins and outs, perhaps thinking of his big brother, Corporal Morikata (corps leader), Ichiro Hirata said to the first-year reserve with a smile on his face:

“Oishi-kun, don’t hold a grudge against Toichi-kun in your heart, he is actually thinking about your future.”

“I had a big brother back then who helped me a lot in my study and life. It’s a pity that Morishita-kun died in a flight accident.”

“Cherish the people in front of you and don’t regret it after losing them.”

“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 navy based on seniority.

 In February this year, during the mission to attack the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier, Hirata cooperated with his wingmen 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 recuperating from his injuries, the second-ranking 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 object of love of everyone present. After a meal of chicken soup for the soul, all the reservists felt like they had 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 the Etajima Naval War School.

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. They can’t even arrange the local air defense force well!”

  “.!”

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

 In fact, the old Japanese did not want to publicize the attack on the rear at all. If there was a choice, it would be a better choice for the school to organize a nearby evacuation directly.

However, the sudden action of the Zhudao fleet and the comprehensive alert in Wu City 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, the Etajima Naval War School 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 Fuying 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 school for the deaf and mute began to face Halsey’s horrific bombings.

 So, 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 spiritual infusion of senior students 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.

 It only took five minutes for hundreds of people to assemble, group and roll call.

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 Furutaka Mountain air raid shelter, and the task assigned by our superiors will be completed.

But at this moment, the sharp and ear-piercing air raid siren and the thumping sound of anti-aircraft artillery sounded at the same time.

The sky over Wu Port 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.

 Pinch a soft persimmon, how difficult can it be?

Faced with a school that has no systematic anti-aircraft firepower and no aviation team to protect it, just use your face to deal damage, and it will be no 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 school.

 Both 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/sea aviation grassroots commanders. In a sense, this is the mortal enemy of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

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 let me tell you something ugly up front. 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 artillery positions. After the bombing is over, immediately join the friendly forces next door!”

“receive!”

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

Since this was the first time the school had been invaded by war, inside the school, as Jiang Daoping said, there were 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, comrades directly use mosquito attacks to retaliate.

 “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

With several loud noises, the British-style red brick dormitory was directly hit from the roof by several heavy high-explosive bombs.

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

Facing the Japanese reserve forces that had not yet dispersed, the combat hero Jiang Daoping swooped down with extreme ferocity, firing four deadly chains of fire into the crowd.

After setting off a **** storm of minced meat, he first raised his height and turned around, and then swept towards the armored command tower-shaped podium with unfinished thoughts.

Any one of the grass deer will die!

  The new principal and general English tutor are in place!

 Looking at the oncoming fighter jets spitting flames. Most of the Japanese were at a loss. Some were so frightened that they froze in place, while others screamed and fell to the ground and hid in the grass.

Although these guys are reserve forces, they basically attend classes in military schools and sit in classrooms. 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 fight against powerful enemies with their youthful passion.

 But generally speaking, they obviously lack reasonable organization. The firepower of the crooked handle and the Type 92 heavy machine gun is not dense enough and lacks organization.

Hundreds of tons of high-explosive bombs and napalm bombs blew Etajima into a large area of ​​charred ruins. It was as if we were holding the most glorious, splendid and grand abolition ceremony for this naval cradle of the school. (End of chapter)
