Invincible from the sword

Chapter 420 Zhang Lei is Very Displeased

Take the initiative?

Before Stilwell could say anything, Douglas stood up immediately.

A white face trembled.

Obviously very excited.

"My God, Zhang Lei, your plan is not realistic at all!
The fighting power of the Japanese army is too strong.

Our troops are not opponents of the Japanese army at all.

Regardless of the small size of the Japanese army, the Japanese army did not want to die at all when they fought.

If our troops can stop the Japanese army, will the Japanese army hit Winton?

Zhang Lei, I must remind you.

The current strength in our hands is not an opponent of the Japanese army at all.

Moreover, your judgment is completely wrong.

The Japanese army in Kangaroo Country was not 20 troops, but [-]! !

On the lines of Birdsville and Winton, there are at least [-] troops.

Zhang Lei, you have just arrived in Kangaroo Country, so you don't understand the whole situation of the war at all.

Your suggestion will turn us all into prisoners of the Japanese army! "

Douglas blushed from being so excited.

In Douglas' view, Zhang Lei's suggestion was simply crazy.

Actively attack the Japanese army?

Are you kidding me?
Our army is not good at all, okay?
Among other things, the servants of the Three Kingdoms in his hands looked tall and big, with beards on their faces.

But the combat power, that is scum.

Seeing the Japanese army will become a docile sheep.

The speed of surrender was astonishingly fast.

Douglas had learned this before.

When we were in Singapore, in the face of the Japanese attack, the soldiers of the three countries were just joking.

Awesome before the war.

Say one can hit ten.

As a result, as soon as the Japanese army came, they immediately raised their guns and surrendered.

He, Douglas, was tortured.

If it weren't for the fact that he had no soldiers to use, Douglas would have looked down on the troops of the Three Kingdoms at all.

As for the troops of the Lighthouse Country, the Sixth Army, although they are well-equipped.

But in Douglas' view, neither.

Otherwise, how could Pipe Mike go straight back to the Lighthouse Country?

Now Zhang Lei is going to take the initiative to attack as soon as he arrives. This young man is simply crazy.

Stilwell directly pushed Douglas on the chair: "Old Daoist, please don't talk, okay?
Zhang Lei's suggestion is very feasible. "

Stilwell frowned and thought for a moment.

If Zhang Lei's judgment is correct, then it is indeed time to attack immediately.

Now the Japanese army has gained a firm foothold in Darwin Port.

If this situation continues, the Japanese army will definitely increase its troops again.

In that case, the entire kangaroo country will really be over.

This is absolutely not allowed.

But what happened to the Japanese army, Stilwell was also confused.

He simply does not know.

He couldn't believe what the frontline troops said.

The entire Sixth Army, under the command of Pipe Mike, was beaten by the Japanese army.

Let alone fighting now, as long as they hear the Japanese attack, the troops will start to panic.

It is indeed difficult to attack under such circumstances.

Stilwell: "Commander Zhang Lei, are you sure that the combined strength of the Japanese troops in Birdsville and Winton is only [-] troops?"

Zhang Lei nodded: "Up to [-].

Old Shi, think about it.

From the Coral Sea to the present, we have fought against the Japanese combined fleet twice in a row.

The total time is ten days.

Moreover, during these ten days, most of the warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet were fighting the Pacific Fleet.

It was impossible for the transport ships of the Japanese army to send 20 Japanese troops to Darwin Port in such a short period of time.

And according to my understanding, the troops of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia are the newly formed Southern Expedition Army.

There are four armies in total.

The total force is only about 40.

If the Japanese army invested 20 troops to attack the Kangaroo Country, that would be the strength of the two Japanese armies.

In this case, the strength of the Japanese army in the entire Southeast Asia will be seriously insufficient.

This is very dangerous.

Southeast Asia is now an important strategic zone for the Japanese army.

Strategic materials such as rubber, iron ore, and petroleum are all transported to the mainland of the island country through Southeast Asia.

Such an important place, the Japanese army will not draw a large number of troops from here.

Another point.

The Southern Expedition of the Japanese Army was newly formed. Among the four armies, the No. 14 Japanese Army was stationed in the Philippine servant country.

Japanese No.16 Army, in Indonesia.

Japanese No.20 Fifth Army, in Malaya.

Among the three armies, the No.16 army of the Japanese army was newly formed.

The fighting power is not strong.

Relatively speaking, the No.16 Army and No.20 Fifth Army of the Japanese Army are the elite of the Japanese Army.

In addition to these three armies, the Japanese army also had an army.

At present, we don't know much about this army.

And this army, I guess, is the main force to attack the kangaroo country.

Although it is newly formed, if the divisions in this army are drawn from the Eastern battlefield, their combat effectiveness is not bad.

But if all of them are recruits, let alone your 20 troops, with [-] troops, I can kill this army of the Japanese army! "

Zhang Lei is really upset.

Obviously the joint force has 40 troops, and its equipment is several times stronger than that of the Japanese army.

But the Japanese army was stunned by making a sound.

He really couldn't figure it out, how did this guy, Pipe Mike, command?
Among other things, there are 20 troops under the Sixth Army alone.

Six infantry divisions plus two armored divisions!

And that's not counting the two flying regiments there in the joint forces.

These two flying regiments have more than two hundred aircraft.

There are many fighter jets and bombers.

As for the Japanese army, Zhang Lei estimated that it would be good if he could get together a hundred planes.

Now the mainland of the island country, due to the shortage of resources, the number of aircraft manufactured has been greatly reduced.

And even if the aircraft manufactured, most of them are carrier-based aircraft.

All are supplied to the joint fleet of the island nation.

The remaining aircraft are simply not enough for the Japanese army.

Therefore, the Japanese army invested no more than one hundred aircraft in the Kangaroo Country.

Moreover, these planes should have been transferred from other places.

Absolutely not the latest Japanese Zero fighter.

Maybe, there are biplanes.

Such a Japanese army should be easy to fight.

The strength of Pipe Mike is completely capable of hitting the Japanese army to the point of doubting their lives.

This means that it is not his own army, otherwise, Zhang Lei would feel ashamed to face others.

Just hit me and it's over.

What a simple matter!

The Japanese army's equipment was simply not enough for the Sixth Army of the Lighthouse Country.

Zhang Lei's words shocked Stilwell.

Fake!

I feel like I'm doing it again! !
Stilwell didn't bother to talk to Douglas anymore.

Anyway, Douglas' servants are responsible for logistics and supplies.

This problem is still not big.

So Stilwell immediately called a combat meeting.

In the conference room, all commanders above the division level of the joint forces were present.

In the combat sequence of the joint force, there is no army-level unit.

This is a bit different from the troops of the old man in Dongfangshan City.

Directly below Stilwell's Sixth Army were six infantry divisions and two armored divisions.

At the combat meeting, Stilwell directly issued an order: "Order, the Fifth Infantry Division, the Eighth Infantry Division, and the Ninth Infantry Division under the Sixth Army's jurisdiction should immediately move to Yaraka.

Build a defensive position north of Yaraka.

Prevent the Japanese army from going south.

The Tenth Infantry Division, No.20 Infantry Division, No.70 Seventh Infantry Division, Third Armored Division, and Seventh Armored Division under the Sixth Army immediately advanced to the area south of Birdsville.

Prepare to ambush the Japanese troops going south.

Command, Edgar's Kangaroo Country Third Army, moved north to Bundaberg.

Responsible for covering Yaraka's flank.

Douglas' new [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd divisions were responsible for the logistical supply of the combined forces.

Flying the first regiment and the second regiment are under the direct command of the headquarters.

Always ready to support ground forces. "

After the order was issued, all troops immediately began to move.

The other troops are easy to say, anyway, the task is not heavy.

So what does it feel like.

But the Sixth Army in Stilwell's hands, the soldiers below were all shocked by this order.

What the fuck?

Active attack?

General Stilwell, is this serious?
For the soldiers of the Lighthouse State, this order made them very worried.

Fighting against the Japanese devils, it seems that the ground troops of the Lighthouse Kingdom haven't won much yet.

Throughout Southeast Asia, the troops of their lighthouse country were chased and beaten by the Japanese army.

Although they were in the Filipino servant country, under the command of Stilwell, they also won a big victory.

But that victory was quickly ruined by Pipe Mike.

When they arrived at the Kangaroo Country, their troops from the Lighthouse Country also retreated all the way.

Now that they are going to take the initiative to attack suddenly, these soldiers are very scared.

Some soldiers were even too scared to walk.

Stilwell was also worried.

He still knows his troops very well.

Most of the soldiers in the Sixth Army had never even seen what a devil looked like.

Just pull up and attack directly, if something goes wrong, the entire Sixth Army will collapse directly.

At that time, even he, Stilwell, won't be able to bear it!
In Zhang Lei's view, there is no need to worry about this situation.

It's the same with recruits.

If you don't fight once, you will always be a recruit.

So offense is necessary.

Zhang Lei just wanted to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation in Birdsville.

In this way, the morale problem can be solved.

As long as the morale is up, the subsequent battles will be much easier to fight.

As a combat staff officer, Zhang Lei advised Stilwell to use long-range bombardment as much as possible when attacking.

Anyway, Stilwell and the Sixth Army had an astonishingly large number of artillery pieces.

Coupled with the aircraft of the Combined Forces, it would be no problem to kill one or two divisions of the Japanese army in Birdsville.

Moreover, according to Zhang Lei's judgment, the Japanese army in Birdsville will not exceed one division at most.

More likely, it was just a brigade.

Such a force is nothing compared to three infantry divisions and two armored divisions.
