Invincible from the sword

Chapter 421 How is this possible?
Stilwell's Sixth Army was very nervous.

Even during the advance, several Sherman tanks drove directly into the ditch and overturned.

When receiving the report, Zhang Lei couldn't laugh or cry.

As for?
The Japanese army only has such a small force, how many of you are afraid of it!

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhang Lei decided to go to the front line to command operations with Stilwell.

It just so happened that he hadn't killed a devil himself for a long time.

Kill a few devils to have fun!
So Zhang Lei and Stilwell directly moved the headquarters to the Tenth Infantry Division.

The commander of the [-]th Infantry Division, his name was White.

White was shocked by the arrival of Zhang Lei and Stilwell.

Fake!

Are Zhang Lei and Stilwell crazy?

He actually moved the headquarters directly to his Tenth Division!

This also makes him how to command the troops! ?
For the arrival of Zhang Lei and Stilwell, White refused in his heart.

In White's view, this is simply adding to the chaos.

His [-]th Infantry Division was basically recruits.

Although the troops had undergone certain training when they were in the lighthouse country, their combat capabilities were really mediocre.

And after arriving in the kangaroo country, I have never even seen the face of the Japanese devils.

Just received the order to retreat all the way.

Let alone the soldiers of his [-]th Infantry Division, even he, the commander, has never seen what a devil looks like.

Regarding the general appearance of the devil, White still listened to Pipe Mike.

According to Pipe Mike's description, the Japanese army was very vicious.

Although he is not tall, he is very fierce when fighting.

Just rush forward with a dull head.

Not afraid of death at all.

And it's very fast.

Before they were ready, the Japanese army had already killed them on a large scale.

There is no way to fight at all.

This made White always worried about this mission.

His Tenth Infantry Division, this time the task is to take the initiative to attack.

He didn't have much confidence at first, but now Stilwell put the entire coalition headquarters in his Tenth Infantry Division.

This made White a little flustered.

Zhang Lei told White: "Commander White, there is nothing to worry about.

This time we will win.

I can tell you for sure.

Our fight at Birdsville will not be over for more than a day.

After a day, your troops can be in Birdsville and beer. "

What the hell! ?
White thought he had heard wrong.

I am a Falk!
you sure?
White was shocked by Zhang Lei's optimism.

How is this possible?
The fighting power of the Japanese army is so powerful, my [-]th Infantry Division seems to be no match for the Japanese army at all.

Just when Zhang Lei and Stilwell led the Tenth Army to advance secretly, Anan Weiji was worried in the headquarters of the No. 15 Army of the Japanese Army.

There was a problem with his logistical supplies.

Because his troops were advancing too fast, his logistical supplies simply couldn't keep up.

This gave Ananwei several headaches.

Although their Japanese army also claims to be a mechanized force, it is only in name.

It's putting gold on your face.

In terms of the degree of mechanization, there is not a slight gap between the European troops and the troops of the Lighthouse country.

In the entire Japanese army, there are not many trucks in a division.

As for military jeeps, there is not even one.

The cars used by division commanders are all sedans.

This has to be the qualification of the commander of a first-class division.

The general commander of the Japanese army is not qualified to ride in a car at all.

Only on horseback.

Most of the materials of the Japanese army were also transported by mules and horses.

If it is along the railway line, it is even better, you can pass the railway.

If it is other places, mules and horses are also used.

Not very efficient.

And now the No.15 Japanese army is even worse.

Because of the lack of transportation capacity of the island country's navy, transporting Anan Weiji's [-] troops to the Kangaroo Country was already exhausting.

It is very difficult to transport materials again.

Therefore, the trucks and tanks transported to Darwin Port are even more pitiful.

There was a serious shortage of supplies at first, but now Anan's few troops have occupied a large area, so it is very difficult to supply supplies.

It's okay to eat.

Just grab it.

The problem is that ammunition is not easy to handle.

Now his No.15 army is very short of ammunition.

Especially artillery shells.

This made Ananwei very worried.

On this issue, Anan has already sent several telegrams to Terauchi, the commander of the Southern Expedition Army.

But Shouichi in the temple has no good way.

He can't command Yamamoto 56's joint fleet at all!

The discord between the army of the island country and the navy of the island country made Terauchi Shouichi very unhappy.

idiot.

The group of island navy guys have no strategic vision at all.

The combined fleet of Yamamoto 56 was beaten to shit at Midway Island, but this guy didn't repent at all.

This has fully proved that it was wrong to attack Midway.

Now Yamamoto's combined fleet should retreat across the board to support his southern dispatch army and occupy the entire Kangaroo Country.

The strategic position of Kangaroo Country is much stronger than that of Midway Island.

As long as you occupy the kangaroo country, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

It can even force the lighthouse country to sign an armistice agreement.

What a wonderful thing.

But this guy Yamamoto disagreed.

Don't want to occupy the Solomon Islands.

I am Nima.

Just an archipelago, how valuable can it be?
Now Anan's No.15 army is attacking like a broken bamboo.

However, the advance of the No.15 Army was seriously affected due to insufficient supplies.

This is very bad.

Without the transport ships of the island country, nothing can be transported up.

At present, there are only three transport ships traveling between Darwin Port and Indonesia.

Coupled with a cruiser escort, there are only four ships at full cost.

Yamamoto is too picky.

Yamamoto 56 sent a telegram to Terauchi Shouichi, saying that his joint fleet would support Anan Keiji's troops at sea.

Cut off the sea supply lines of the opposing coalition forces.

In this way, you can defeat others without fighting.

To this end, Yamamoto told Terauchi Shouichi that his combined fleet would establish an airport in the Solomon Islands.

Bomb the fleet of the Lighthouse Kingdom from the air.

In Yamamoto's view, this is a perfect plan.

Most of the ships from the lighthouse country to the kangaroo country are transport ships.

There is no fighting power at all.

And the main force of the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country is not here at all.

According to Yamamoto's analysis, the main Pacific fleet of the lighthouse country will still defend at Midway Island and the Aleutian Islands.

As for the kangaroo country, it is not the opponent's defense focus.

This plan, in the opinion of Terauchi Shouichi, is justified.

But there is no need to send the entire United Fleet there, right?
Is it that difficult to send troops to his south and transfer a few transport ships?
Yamamoto definitely did it on purpose.

After all, the glory of occupying the Kangaroo Country does not belong to his combined fleet.

So yamamoto acid is also normal.

Yamamoto is really sour.

I was very depressed.

His United Fleet was beaten so badly at Midway that even his own father couldn't tell.

However, Shouichi's ground troops in the temple are progressing very smoothly.

This made Yamamoto move his mind.

Such a great contribution cannot be taken by the island army.

His United Fleet should also get a share of the action.

If it's just helping the Southern Dispatch Army to deliver supplies, it's not considered a military exploit at all.

Only when their joint fleet fights a battle in a key place can they be recognized by the island nation's base camp.

So Yamamoto 56's plan is to occupy the Solomon Islands and the Marshall Islands.

As long as these two islands are occupied, in addition to cutting off the connection between the lighthouse country and the kangaroo country, it can also form a siege to the kangaroo country.

Tulagi's shore-based bombers can effectively support Anan Weiji's No.15 Army.

Only in this way can the island nation's navies gain the greatest benefit.

As for Anan Weiji's No. 15 army's supply difficulties, this is not within Yamamoto's consideration at all.

Even to some extent, Yamamoto hoped that there would be problems with the No.15 Army.

Only in this way can the importance of their joint fleet be brought out.

In order to ensure the success of this plan, Yamamoto 56 decided to direct it himself.

He will sit on the island of Rabaul himself.

Command this battle.

In Yamamoto's view, this was an opportunity to salvage the reputation of his Combined Fleet.

In order to show his importance, Yamamoto decided to send the newly commissioned battleship Yamato.

As this flagship.

In Yamamoto's view, the Yamato could not be more suitable as the flagship.

The decoration is luxurious.

Incredibly comfortable.

There is an eye-opening volume format KTV on it, and there are even female artists in island countries wearing maid outfits.

Suo ga.

That kind of taste made Yamamoto forget to go home.

Thus, the space battleship Yamato of the island country set off from Tokyo Bay amid the cheers of a fool in the island country.

Among the battleships, the Yamato of the island country is definitely the top number.

Not long after Yamamoto 56 set off, Nagumo Chuichi sent a telegram to Yamamoto 56.

It is said that another island was discovered south of Tulagi Island.

The name is Guadalcanal.

This island is more suitable for building an airport than Tulagi Island.

The construction time of the airport can be shortened by two-thirds.

This surprised Yamamoto.

Nani?

Shorten the time by two-thirds?
This is very important.

Yamamoto 56 immediately agreed to Nagumo Chuichi's request.

Construction of an airport on Guadalcanal.

As for the raw materials consumed, it was nothing to Yamamoto.

Orihime Inoue, the devil who was in charge of building the airport, looked bewildered.

Looking at the telegram sent by Nanyun Zhongyi, the whole body trembled.

It's really annoying.

The engineering unit led by him finally started construction on Tulagi Island.

It took a long time, but it turned out that the airport was going to be built in another place!
Isn't this playing tricks?
Orihime Inoue wanted to scold her mother very much.

Nagumo Chuichi, who is a grass-mud horse, I call your ancestors!

The entire Inoue engineering unit was devastated.
