Chapter 903 It’s All Abe Hidenori’s Blame
After receiving the request from Division Commander Ike, Li Hamman immediately demonstrated his decisive and efficient command ability.
"Call the commanders of the Bird fighter formation immediately. We need them to take off immediately to carry out the interception mission." Li Hamman gave orders to the communications officer beside him.
The communications officer quickly tapped on the keyboard and conveyed the order to the Flying Birds formation through the encrypted channel. Soon, the voice of the formation commander echoed in the command room: "Flying Birds formation received, ready to take off to perform the interception mission, please provide detailed target information and interception coordinates."
"Very good," Li Haman nodded and said to the intelligence officer beside him, "Immediately send all the key information provided by the SS Division, such as the enemy's evacuation route, number of vehicles, and estimated speed, to the Flying Birds Formation. At the same time, inform them that our FW109 fighter group will serve as the main force for interception, and there is also a medium-sized transport aircraft on standby for possible air support or material transfer."
The intelligence officer acted quickly, organizing the information into clear and concise instructions and sending them to the Ascendant Formation.
At the same time, Li Haman continued to deploy tactics: "Let the FW109 formation adopt a tactical layout combining high and low altitudes. The low-altitude formation is responsible for interfering with the enemy's convoy and attracting firepower; the high-altitude formation is responsible for finding and destroying the enemy's command and communication vehicles, weakening its combat capability. Medium-sized transport aircraft maintain a high degree of flexibility, adjust their positions at any time according to the battlefield situation, and be ready to perform emergency tasks."
As the order was issued, the air base became busy, with pilots quickly running to their fighter planes to conduct final checks and preparations.
"Flying Bird Formation, this is the Air Force Command," Li Haman contacted the formation commander again through the communication channel, "You are the key to our interception operation. You must remain highly vigilant and respond flexibly to various emergencies. Remember, our goal is to ensure that the enemy cannot evacuate smoothly and buy precious time for the ground forces."
"Understood, Commander. The Flying Bird Formation is ready and awaits the order to attack at any time." The formation commander's voice was firm and powerful, revealing his confidence and determination in the mission.
With a strong vibration, the bird fighter formation took off into the air, like a black lightning cutting through the sky, and headed straight for the enemy's retreat route.
In the dusty and bumpy evacuation convoy, Koga Ryukata, the usually majestic minister in the Fuso military, seemed unusually anxious. He sat in a specially made command vehicle, which was decorated relatively luxuriously to show his status, but the atmosphere at the moment was unusually depressing.
Koga Ryuhe's face was ashen, his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness, his hands were clenched into fists, and from time to time he hit the armrest beside him, making a dull sound.
"That idiot Abe Hideki!" He cursed in a low voice. Although his voice was low, it was enough for everyone in the car to feel the anger in his heart. "It was his extremely stupid guerrilla tactics that put us in this predicament! It's simply unforgivable!"
The adjutant was sitting cautiously at the side, his eyes occasionally secretly glancing at Koga Ryukata's angry face. He knew very well that Koga Ryukata was like an enraged beast at the moment, and he might get burned if he was not careful.
After thinking for a moment, he mustered up his courage and whispered, "Sir, General Abe Hideki's guerrilla tactics were also reviewed and approved by you personally..."
Before he could finish his words, Koga Ryufang turned around suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with crazy anger flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand and slapped the adjutant hard in the face with a loud slap, causing the adjutant to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
"How dare you question my decision!" Koga Ryukata roared, his voice almost blowing off the roof of the car. "I was blinded by that guy Abe Hidenori! He was full of nonsense, making me mistakenly believe that his tactics could turn the tide of the battle, but the result was that we were defeated miserably! When I return to Kyoto, I will personally send him to a military court and make him pay for his stupidity!"
The adjutant covered his face with his hands, looking aggrieved, tears flashing in his eyes, but he did not dare to resist at all.
The adjutant prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that this disaster would pass as soon as possible so that they could return to Kyoto safely.
Koga Ryukata's chest rose and fell violently with his rapid breathing, his eyes were wide open and his lips were moving constantly, and his mutterings were mixed with vicious curses against Abe Hidenori. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of resentment.
"Abe Hidenori, you bastard! It's all your fault that I'm in such a mess!" He growled, but behind this roar, he hid his deep helplessness and fear.
He didn't know that Abe Hidenori, whom he cursed countless times, had actually turned into dust in the smoke of the battlefield and could no longer respond to any of his accusations.
"Why hasn't there been any news from the front-line command yet? What the hell is that bastard Abe Hidenori doing!" Koga Ryukata suddenly raised his voice, venting his dissatisfaction to the air.
He waved his clenched fists in the air in the car, as if this could vent the anger in his heart.
The driver secretly observed Koga Ryukata's expression through the rearview mirror. The face distorted by anger made him feel a little nervous.
He shook his head secretly, thinking that this high and mighty military minister was just a poor wretch who was forced into a desperate situation by the war.
"Sir, maybe we should consider changing our route to avoid being caught up by the enemy." The driver finally mustered up the courage and made a cautious suggestion. He knew that his words might anger Koga Ryukata, but his duty as a soldier forced him to do so.
However, Koga Ryukata seemed not to have heard his words. He was still immersed in his own world, muttering to himself and cursing.
The driver sighed helplessly and could only continue to drive the vehicle carefully, trying his best to protect this noble yet vulnerable passenger in this chaotic world.
Koga Ryukata's eyes suddenly became sharp and deep. He turned his head abruptly, and his gloomy face seemed to be able to swallow all the light as he stared straight at the adjutant.
The adjutant was frightened by the sudden gaze and trembled all over. His face turned pale as paper in an instant, beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, and his eyes were full of fear and confusion.
"Go back to Kyoto," Koga Ryukata's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "You better keep your mouth shut! Remember, I have no idea about any decision made by Abe Hideki on the front line, understand!"
The adjutant was so shocked by this sudden order that he stood there in a daze. He could almost feel the chill in Koga Ryukata's words, a fear and threat that penetrated deep into his bones.
He nodded subconsciously and uttered an almost inaudible "yes" in his throat.
Seeing this, Koga Ryukata curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, a smile full of desire for power and fear of failure.
If you want to survive in this political game, you must learn to shift the blame to others, while keeping yourself clean and without leaving any handle.
