my bright sword career

Chapter 666
"Your Excellency, as of now, the east side of Tululu Mountain has been completely lost, and most of the defense line on the south side has been breached. It is only a matter of time before the complete fall." A staff officer reported Tulu to Haruki Momotake with a dejected expression. Lu Shan's latest battle report.

"Actually, I've already expected it."

Haruki Hyakutake sighed, "In this war with the Americans for the Pacific islands, the empire has fallen too far behind. Now it is not more than 20 years ago (World War I), and the current war has lost air supremacy It is very difficult for one side to win the war.

For a specific example, you only need to look at the war between the Empire and China to understand. "

The staff officer was a little unwilling and said: "But... what about Mount Tululu? Once we lose Mount Tululu, the Americans can safely build an airport and fortifications there, and it will be even more difficult for us to compete with them for control of Guadalcanal Island. Right."

"Skills are inferior to others, what can I do?" Haruki Hyakutake shook his head helplessly.

"For the current plan, we can only order the troops to retreat into the depths of the jungle and wait for the mainland to replenish our weapons and soldiers before launching a counterattack.

Now if troops are sent out to compete with the Americans and Chinese to compete for Mount Tululu, it will be a tactic of refueling, and the result can only be to consume all the last remaining forces. "

After careful consideration, Hyakutake Haruki decided to abandon the important stronghold of Tululu Mountain, and waited for the reply to replenish the troops and supplies before making any plans.

In this way, under the voluntary abandonment of Hyakutake Haruki, the Second Marine Division of the United States finally occupied the southern position of Mount Tululu three days later, and then sent the corps and the Second Marine Division together to fight on November [-]. All occupy Mount Tululu.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gao, you have successfully completed the task of capturing Mount Tululu!"

Gao Hongming looked at Lieutenant General Spruance who was holding his hand tightly in front of him and said seriously: "Your Excellency, the occupation of Tululu Mountain means that the Allied forces have mastered the ground in the battle of Guadalcanal. The initiative, the next thing is up to the Fifth Fleet."

Spruance was slightly taken aback, "Mr. Gao, I don't quite understand what you mean, can you explain in more detail?"

Gao Hongming explained patiently: "Mount Tululu has fallen into our hands, which means that we have already occupied the commanding heights of the entire Guadalcanal Island. As long as we set up an artillery regiment on it, the entire southern side of Guadalcanal Island will be fully controlled. in our hands.

Even if the Japanese make any small moves, they will be exposed to our sight. As long as we firmly hold Tululu Mountain and Henderson Airport, we will be invincible on land.

The next thing we have to do is to use Guadalcanal as bait like fishing to lure the Japanese fleet to continuously deliver supplies and troops to Guadalcanal, and then we will keep attacking their fleet and transport ships at sea, slowly Just let them bleed. "

After listening to Gao Hongming's words, Spruance looked at Gao Hongming with a very strange expression.

Contains surprise, surprise and emotion.

After a long time, he let out a long breath, and said seriously: To be honest, these days, General Nimitz and I conducted a detailed discussion and research on the battle situation in Guadalcanal Island, and then made a plan against the Japanese.And this plan is surprisingly consistent with what you just said.

If I didn't know very well that you have been directing the battle at the front these days, I thought you had been witnessing it with my own eyes when I made the plan, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence in the world. "

"No, no...it's not a coincidence." Gao Hongming smiled and said, "We have an old Chinese saying about this kind of situation, which is called Heroes see alike."

"That's right... the hero sees the same thing." Spruance laughed.

Gao Hongming could clearly feel that his smile this time was obviously different from before. In previous contacts, although Spruance's attitude towards Gao Hongming had always been very polite, he could feel that this kind of politeness carried a trace of everything. No alienation and pride hidden in the bones.

But today is different, his smile is obviously more kind and friendly.

Spruance asked again: "Mr. Gao, I heard that you plan to return to China?"

"Yes."

Gao Hongming nodded, "I have been here for almost a month, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the country. There are also three wives and several children at home who are definitely looking forward to my return. I can't wait to go back now." Saw them."

"Wait..." Spruance interrupted Gao Hongming, "Excuse me, what did I hear just now? You seem to have mentioned your wife, and if I heard correctly, three?"

"Yes, you heard correctly, there are indeed three."

Gao Hongming shrugged his shoulders, "General Spruance, although our country promulgated a law on monogamy a few years ago. But you know that this thing is the same as your country's 1920 alcohol prohibition law. A few people will strictly abide by it.

Of course, there may be a day when it will be implemented in the future, but right now..."

Gao Hongming spread his hands and showed a smile that you understand.

"Oh...God..."

Spruance opened his mouth wide, and this excellent American admiral who never lost his composure no matter how disadvantaged he was, was astonished at this moment as if he saw God.

After a long time, he patted Gao Hongming on the shoulder with envy and jealousy: "Well, I have to admit, you are a lucky guy. I believe your wife must be very beautiful, otherwise you wouldn't have married three at once. .

I really can't imagine how you coordinate such a complicated relationship at home, which is even more troublesome than me commanding 10,000+ troops. "

Gao Hongming laughed loudly when he heard the words, "This is another story. If I really want to tell it in detail, I'm afraid it will take several days. But it's okay, I believe we will meet again in the future, and then I will invite you to my house as a guest , let’s talk about how to deal with the relationship between the wives in the family.”

Spruance shrugged his shoulders, "I'm afraid I won't be able to use this kind of experience in my life, and my beliefs and customs will not allow such a thing to happen. But I would be happy to see your wife and children, By the way, ask them why they are willing to marry the same man."

"There will be such a day." Gao Hongming smiled and stretched out his right hand towards him.

Spruance also held out his hand, and the two shook hands firmly.

Both of them knew that today's meeting was both a dialogue and a parting, at least for a year or two, they would not see each other again.
