Invincible from the sword

Chapter 261 This way of thinking, no problem
For such an important report, Nestor cannot make decisions by himself, and must report to Wheelchair Luo.

Wheelchair Luo has been in a bad mood these past few days, and every day is filled with bad news, which puts him under a lot of pressure.

This is completely different from the script he envisioned!
Before the island country attacked Pearl Harbor, Wheelchair Luo's idea was that as soon as the island country made a surprise attack, it would immediately declare war on the island country, and then forcefully intervene in World War II.

Quickly defeated the island countries and the majority countries, just like the First World War, their Lighthouse Congress became the leader of the entire war.

Then sit down and negotiate to get the maximum benefit for the Lighthouse country.

And his wheelchair will leave his name in history.

But the current situation is that their lighthouse country is being suppressed by the island country.

There is no fighting back at all.

And because the island country signed an alliance treaty with the Dazhong country and the boot country.

Declaring war on the island country is equivalent to going to war with the Dazhong country and the boot country.

Therefore, the Atlantic Fleet of their lighthouse country did not dare to act rashly at all, and was on full alert to prevent the Great Power from attacking their lighthouse country.

Although there is an Atlantic Ocean between the Dazhong State and the Lighthouse State, this does not make Wheelchair Luo feel at ease.

The strength of the Dazhong State can be seen by anyone, and it is unmatched in the whole of Europe.

Although Dazhong's naval power is still lacking, its strength should not be underestimated.

Especially in recent times, the submarines of the Great Power are almost everywhere.

Although the quality of Dazhong submarines is not very good, it can't stand the large number!
Even the Queen's Kingdom, all of them were annoyed by the submarines of the Dazhong Kingdom.

Speaking of Dazhong, the brain circuit is indeed advanced.

After suffering a big loss in the naval battle, he knew that his warship was not the opponent of the Queen's Kingdom, so he devoted his energy to the submarine.

There are too many submarines in the Great Power in the Atlantic Ocean.

And the results are quite fruitful, much easier to use than warships on the sea.

In order to reduce losses, the Dazhong State uses small submarines.

Good maneuverability and strong concealment.

A submarine, operated by a dozen people, was killed, and the loss was within the tolerance of Da Da Da Guo.

This is much cheaper than being killed by a warship.

Therefore, the Great Power has built a large number of small submarines, and now the Atlantic Ocean is almost becoming the back garden of the Great Power.

The Queen Kingdom was trembling.

Similarly, wheelchair Luo is also highly nervous.

Fearing that Da Da Da Guo would make a fool of himself, he suddenly gave them the Lighthouse Country.

Then play big.

Now the Pacific Fleet of their lighthouse country has been crippled, and it will take at least a few months to restore their combat effectiveness.

If there is another problem with the Atlantic Fleet of their lighthouse country at this time, then their lighthouse country will be in danger.

At this critical moment, Pipe Mike made such a fool.

The [-] troops who left their lighthouse country on the Filipino Maid Islands ran away.

This was something he didn't expect.

This bastard should be shot!
Wheelchair Luo was so exasperated that he smashed all the ashtrays on the table.

But anger is anger, he has to do this ass thing.

You can't really let the [-] troops of the Filipino Maid Islands die there! ?
In that case, he will be the head of the presidential palace.

This is a major matter related to the face of the Beacon Country.

Fortunately, there was Stilwell, otherwise, Wheelchair Luo's heart attack would have been frightened out.

Stilwell's handling method was very correct.

Let Wang, who is familiar with the Japanese army, serve as the temporary commander, defeat the Japanese army first, and then consider other issues of the army.

This way of thinking is fine.

But Stilwell proposed in the report that Zhang Lei be the commander-in-chief of this army...

This is a bit unreasonable.

Anyway.This is also the army of our lighthouse country. Letting an outsider command it will have a bad influence internationally.

Those who didn't know, thought that our Lighthouse Country didn't even have a qualified commander.

However, it is still possible to let Zhang Lei serve as the deputy head of the staff group.

Let Stilwell be the commander of the army, responsible for the specific command, and Zhang Lei as the deputy head of the staff group, to advise Stilwell.

In this case, the final command power is still in the hands of the Lighthouse people.

Zhang Lei can play its due role, and in terms of their lighthouse country's face, it is also justified.

The best of both worlds.

Moreover, Zhang Lei was indeed capable, and actually killed more than 4000 Japanese soldiers when he came up.

Not to repel, but to annihilate.

Stilwell made it very clear in his report that he used the word annihilation.

This is not easy.

Pipe Mike was beaten like shit by the Japanese army.

Dizzy.

I even ran to the kangaroo country, but Zhang Lei came up and commanded the troops to fight such a big victory.

Only a few thousand troops were used.

This is the gap.

Seeing that Wheelchair Luo didn't speak, Nestor thought that Wheelchair Luo would really agree with Stilwell's suggestion: "Wheelchair Luo, General Stilwell's suggestion is simply a fantasy.

I think he exaggerated Zhang Lei's ability.

The reason why we were able to defeat the Japanese army was mainly due to the capabilities of our troops.

If it weren't for the strength of our Lighthouse Army, no matter how powerful Zhang Lei's command ability is, it would be useless. "

Wheelchair Luo glanced at Nestor with deep meaning.

"Nestor, it's just the two of us, so don't use it to test me.

Stilwell's suggestion was good.

But political foresight is lacking.

If Zhang Lei is the commander of this force, what will the Queen Kingdom and the Su Kingdom think of our Lighthouse Kingdom?
The attitude here is very subtle.

So I am going to let Stilwell be the commander of the army and be in charge of the command of the entire army.

As for Zhang Lei, I think he is very much a replacement for Stilwell.

The deputy head of the staff group, the position is very important, but it will attract too much attention.

The task of the major affairs staff group is to provide combat opinions to the commander of the troops, and it has no decision-making power.

This position is suitable for Zhang Lei.

What do you think, Nestor?"

Nestor froze for a moment, thought about the idea of ​​the wheelchair Luo, and his eyes lit up immediately.

high wow!
In this case, not only can the troops defeat the Japanese army, but also allow the credit to fall on Stilwell.

Such an arrangement is definitely the best solution.

The boss is the boss, and consideration is thoughtful.

Nestor is absolutely and completely fine with Wheelchair Law's decision.

However, it was cheaper for Stilwell.

Judging from this report, Zhang Lei's command ability is definitely at the level of Doudi.

As for Pipe Mike, in Wheelchair Luo's opinion, it's not suitable to deal with him now.

Dealing with Pipe Mike at this time will arouse suspicion in other countries.

At the same time, it will also make the supporters of Pipe Mike very dissatisfied.

If not done well, it will cause domestic turmoil.

So Wheelchair Luo decided to deal with it coldly first.

Now that Pipe Mike is in Kangaroo Country, let him take it there.

Laozi out of sight, out of mind.

The appointment soon came to Stilwell, causing quite a stir.

For Stilwell to replace Pipe Mike as the new commander of the army, several generals in the Lighthouse Kingdom thought it was normal.

Among the current generals of the Mi Army here, there is also Stilwell who has this qualification.

Others, not at all.

But for Zhang Lei's new position, the generals of the Lighthouse Kingdom were still very surprised.

Deputy Chief of Staff.

This position has never been held by anyone who is not a member of the Lighthouse Country.

Moreover, Zhang Lei's military rank is only lieutenant colonel.

This is subtle.

Under normal circumstances, this position must be at least the rank of Major General of the Lighthouse Country.

It seems that the superior trusts Zhang Lei a lot.

The generals of the Lighthouse Kingdom paid more attention to Zhang Lei.

For them, Zhang Lei served as the deputy head of the staff group, which they couldn't wish for.

There is nothing to say about Zhang Lei's command ability.

In less than three hours, more than 4000 Japanese troops were wiped out.

Such ability, they think they can't do it at all.

Although Stilwell became the commander of the army, he did not make deployments without Ma Shan.

He would like to hear Zhang Lei's views on the next battle.

After all, in Stilwell's view, Zhang Lei was the real commander.

Zhang Lei is also welcome.

He had a good impression of Stilwell.

According to the historical process, Stilwell will go to Burma to participate in the Chinese Expeditionary Force's battle against the Japanese army.

Although this is a bit rigid, from a general perspective, Stilwell's help to the Huaxia Expeditionary Army is still great.

In the later period, in the Three Kingdoms of Ah, he helped the expeditionary force carry out targeted training, and also managed to obtain a lot of weapons and equipment from the Lighthouse Country.

Zhang Lei looked at the map of the Filipino Islands and said to Stilwell: "We wiped out more than 4000 Japanese troops in Bagac on the Bataan Peninsula.

This number is a very strange number.

Judging from the battle process, we wiped out the Japanese army completely, and no more than 100 Japanese soldiers escaped.

In other words, the strength of this Japanese army should be around 5000 Anwu to [-] people.

Such a scale of the Japanese army is very abnormal.

From 500 to 5000 people, this is neither the strength of one Japanese regiment nor the strength of two regiments.

Rather, it is about the strength of one and a half regiments.

In other words, there is an alliance that should have been split.

And most of our troops are now in the Bataan Peninsula.

I feel that the Japanese army already knows this.

There are only two reasons why the Japanese army attacked us this time with only more than 4000 Japanese troops.

One reason is that when the Japanese army attacked the Filipino Maid Islands, they adopted a pincer offensive.

All the way, the Japanese army landed from Apali in the Filipino Maid Islands.

Another Japanese army landed from Legazpi in the Filipino Islands.

The Bataan Peninsula is not far from Legazpi.

Moreover, General Wainwright also said that his division was attacked by the Japanese army on the way.

Wainwright's troops are in the north of the Filipino Islands and are currently located in San Fernando.

In other words, the Japanese troops who landed from Aparri, the Filipino islands, should now advance to San Fernando.

Then the Japanese army attacking us should be the Japanese army that landed from Legazpi.

As I said earlier, the total strength of the Japanese army was only about 4.

If calculated on average, the number of Japanese troops attacking us should be 2.

Considering that since the Japanese army landed from Legazpi, it has occupied a lot of territory and its forces have been dispersed.

The Japanese army attacking the Bataan Peninsula should be around 1 people.

But we wiped out only over 4000 Japanese troops.

In other words, there should be about [-] Japanese troops near the Bataan Peninsula.

Moreover, these five thousand Japanese troops should be the same as the Japanese troops annihilated by us, and they did not divide their troops again. "

watt?
Stilwell froze for a moment.

Near the Bataan Peninsula, there are still [-] Japanese troops!?
This is not good news.

Stilwell thought about what Zhang Lei said, and felt that what Zhang Lei said was probably correct.

If that's the case, then they still have another battle to fight.

But five thousand Japanese troops should not be difficult for Zhang Lei.

Stilwell said: "Zhang Lei, these five thousand Japanese troops, can you kill them?"

Zhang Lei looked at the map and thought for a while: "Stilwell, it's not a big problem if we want to wipe out these five thousand Japanese troops in one fell swoop.

But our casualties may be much greater.

The reason why we were able to annihilate [-] Japanese troops in less than three hours just now is because the Japanese army underestimated our strength.

Our troops have been retreating in the early stage, which created an illusion for the Japanese army.

Think that our troops have no combat effectiveness at all.

So when we counterattacked suddenly, they had no time to react.

But then, it's not so easy.

With so many people wiped out by the Japanese army, their commanders must be more vigilant.

And I estimate that the Japanese army is likely to let their navy cooperate next.

Use naval guns to bombard us on a large scale.

So next, we must immediately retreat from the Bataan Peninsula.Before the Japanese army could react, we should transfer our troops to the north.

Enter Manila.

Although Manila is now occupied by the Japanese army, there will not be too many troops by then.

We can easily kill the Japanese army there.

For us at present, the position is not the goal.

The goal of our campaign should be to mass-kill the vital forces of the Japanese army.

The total number of Japanese troops attacking the Filipino Maid Islands was only 4.

Replenishment of troops was difficult.

As long as we kill and wound the Japanese army in large numbers, it will be very difficult for the Japanese army to occupy the Filipino Maid Islands first.

Stilwell, the island nation's conscription has already gone wrong.

There are not many people who are suitable for conscription age in the island country.

In order to replenish its military strength, the island country has now revised its conscription regulations and directly adjusted the age of conscription from 15 years old to [-] years old.

Moreover, a large number of retired soldiers were recruited back to the army.

This shows that the human resources of the island country have problems.

As long as we annihilate these [-] Japanese troops, the entire Japanese army attacking the Filipino Islands will be seriously insufficient.

If you want to make up for the shortage of troops, you can only recruit troops from their island country.

But the quality of the soldiers is much worse.

Stilwell, as long as we command properly, one hundred thousand Japanese troops can be destroyed here.

Kill [-] Japanese troops.

Stilwell, you will become the most powerful commander in your lighthouse country. "
