Invincible from the sword

Chapter 435 What does he want to do?
Shelling was out of the question.

Johnson couldn't help it either.

Now the positions of their three infantry divisions have been exposed.

You have to retreat.

As the only infantry division commander who had fought the Japanese army seriously, Johnson knew the Japanese army quite well.

At the same time, Johnson knows his troops well.

His fifth infantry division was expanded with the original fifth infantry regiment.

The original soldiers are now basically corporals, sergeants and even sergeants.

Overall combat capability is pretty good.

But the other two infantry divisions, Johnson is not optimistic.

All are newly built.

And there is not enough training.

Since those two infantry divisions arrived in Kangaroo Country, they have not undergone intensive training.

And those two infantry divisions knew nothing about the Japanese army.

Coupled with the fact that Pipe Mike retreated all the way in the early stage, the soldiers of the two infantry divisions were very afraid of the Japanese army.

At this time, if the Japanese army attacked aggressively, the two infantry divisions would probably not be able to withstand it.

Douglas, this idiot, is really beeping the dog.

What is he trying to do?
Johnson was very helpless, so he could only contact the Eighth Infantry Division and the Ninth Infantry Division, telling them to retreat as quickly as his Fifth Infantry Division.

And build fortifications.

At the same time, Johnson hurriedly reported the situation to Stilwell.

At this time, Stilwell and Zhang Lei were advancing towards Winton with the 20th, No.70 and No.[-] Seventh Infantry Divisions.

Behind them were the [-]rd and [-]th Armored Divisions.

The speed of advancement is very fast.

According to the current speed, they will reach the predetermined location in another five hours.

There are trucks and tanks everywhere in the army.

The rumble was deafening.

Zhang Lei was very greedy.

If his own troops can also have such equipment, then he can directly sink the island country.

What Tojo, what Okamura, what dog His Majesty, all thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

However, Zhang Lei is just YY.

These equipment basically cannot reach his troops.

Even if the lighthouse country agrees to give, it will not give too much.

And the old man Shancheng would not agree.

However, the equipment of the Japanese army can still be obtained.

Zhang Lei had already communicated with Stilwell, and all the Japanese military equipment seized in Kangaroo Country belonged to him, Zhang Lei.

When Zhang Lei returned to China, all these equipments were transported to Shanxi with the help of Kangaroo Country.

If it doesn't work, it can be transported to northern Jiangsu.

Regarding this point, Stilwell agreed without thinking about it.

It doesn't matter.

In Stilwell's eyes, the Japanese army's equipment was basically tattered.

It is simply incomparable with the equipment of their lighthouse country.

Even if it was in his Stilwell's hands, it would be useless.

And Stilwell also knew that Zhang Lei wanted to equip it to fight the Japanese devils.

For this reason, he, Stilwell, unconditionally supported him.

The Japanese devils are all damned!

If it wasn't for the lighthouse country's equipment, Stilwell couldn't make the decision, he would have given the lighthouse country's equipment to Zhang Lei.

In Stilwell's opinion, Zhang Lei beat the devil too hard.

Stronger than the commanders of their entire Lighthouse country combined.

Zhang Lei and Stilwell are discussing the next step.

In Zhang Lei's view, if they successfully wiped out Winton's Japanese army, the next step would be to divide their forces and advance.

Part of the force surrounded and wiped out the Japanese at Clark River.

Another part of the troops advanced directly towards Darwin Port.

But it's not about taking back Darwin Harbour.

Instead, build a defense line at Birdham, south of Darwin Port.

After attracting Japanese reinforcements to land at Darwin Port, they attacked at Bodham.

As long as the gap in Darwin Port is left, it will attract a steady stream of Japanese troops to land in Kangaroo Country.

The entire Japanese Southern Dispatch Army has only 40 troops.

And the number of troops that can reinforce the Japanese army in the Kangaroo Country will not exceed [-].

There is only one way to reinforce more troops.

Drawn from the Eastern battlefield.

Zhang Lei judged that if troops were drawn from the Eastern battlefield, the most likely possibility would be to draw troops from the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Now the Japanese army in the East has the strongest combat effectiveness, that is, the Kwantung Army.

The troops of the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese army have been beaten and replaced.

Although there are a lot of troops, the combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.

Only the Japanese Kwantung Army, and a dozen elite divisions.

In addition, the elite of the Japanese army has basically been exhausted in the eastern battlefield.

If several elite divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army can be killed in Kangaroo Country, it will be very beneficial to the future counterattack.

Of course, Zhang Lei didn't tell Stilwell about this idea.

Zhang Lei said to Stilwell: "It is only a matter of time before the Japanese army in Winton is wiped out.

If all goes well, we will be able to retake Winton in about two days.

At that time, the situation in the entire kangaroo country will have a big change.

In the next step, our troops will put the main force in Bodham to attract the Japanese Southern Expedition to continue landing from Darwin Port.In this case, the number of Japanese troops on the South Pacific Islands will be greatly reduced.

This is very helpful to Nimitz's Pacific Fleet and Marine Corps. "

Ok.

That's right.

Stilwell nodded in agreement.

Anyway, it's all about beating devils, it's the same for anyone.

Nimitz's Marine Corps targets islands occupied by the Japanese.

There will definitely be huge casualties in the fight.

After all, it is a landing battle.

The casualty rate is recognized worldwide as high.

Therefore, it is the best to be able to kill a large number of Japanese troops in the Kangaroo Country.

When the time comes, Nimitz will have to buy him a drink.

Stilwell immediately sent the idea to Nimitz.

Let Nimitz jump up and down excitedly.

Breakthrough!
Zhang Lei's plan is great!
Nimitz actually had no idea about attacking Guadalcanal.

From various aspects, his Pacific Fleet does not have an advantage.

The terrain is unfamiliar.

The [-]st Marine Division was poorly trained.

There are not many battleships.

The question of command.

All this gave Nimitz a headache.

And most importantly, they have lost the intelligence of the Japanese army.

After the Battle of Midway, the Japanese army upgraded the code.

So although his intelligence team could still monitor the radio of the Japanese army, it was impossible to decipher it in a short time.

If there is a month, it is still no problem to decipher the Japanese army code.

But now time is too short.

Nimitz's eyelids were twitching when he landed in such a situation where his eyes were smeared.

Now Zhang Lei and Stilwell have stabilized the situation in Kangaroo Country, and they can also help his Pacific Fleet relieve the combat pressure.

This reassured Nimitz a lot.

Not long after Stilwell sent the telegram to Nimitz, he received a telegram from Johnson.

Made Stilwell nearly fall off the jeep.

watt! ?
Stilwell's eyeballs were about to drop as he read the telegram.

Watt's star! ? ?
Douglas is a big idiot!
Is his mind full of shit?

Actually took the troops to attack the Japanese army in Winton!
Fake!

This completely disrupted his plans.

Zhang Lei frowned.

Ten thousand alpacas roared past in my heart.

This Douglas is such a fool.

How to have sex with that Alexander?
Are all the commanders of the Queen's Kingdom so capricious?
Zhang Lei looked at the map and urgently thought about how to deal with it.

Douglas' troops were no match for the Japanese at all.

There is no doubt about that.

It is estimated that in less than half a day, all Douglas' troops will have to surrender.

Without Douglas' troops, the entire Sixth Army's logistics supplies would be insufficient.

With insufficient logistical supplies, it was simply impossible to quickly annihilate Winton's Japanese army.

Stilwell's head has exploded.

An anxious look on his face.

Douglas' move directly messed up the entire battle plan.

Stilwell didn't know what to do either.

"Head Zhang, what should we do next?
Now we not only have to face the Japanese army, but also have to deal with logistical supplies.

And before long, I reckon we'll have orders to rescue Douglas's troops.

Oh, God.

Douglas was simply insane. "

Stilwell has a big head.

I feel like my brain is boiling.

"Head Zhang, can you temporarily take over my command?

In my current state, I can't command at all. "

Stilwell was panting heavily, obviously angry.

Zhang Lei nodded.

Not with Stilwell either.

Stilwell's current situation was indeed not suitable for commanding.

Zhang Lei thought for a while, and began to issue combat orders: "Order Edgar's troops to retreat immediately from the area south of Clark River,

The unit that replaced Douglas was responsible for the logistical resupply mission.

Let him Edgar, in one day, his troops must send logistical supplies to the Sixth Army.

Otherwise military law is engaged.

Order the Fifth Infantry Division, Eighth Infantry Division and Ninth Infantry Division to retreat [-] kilometers.

Order the Tenth, No.20, and No.70 Seventh Infantry Divisions, and the Third and Seventh Armored Divisions to suspend their advance.

Rest in place.

Order the flying regiment to carry out air bombing against the Japanese army in Winton. "

Without logistical supplies, Zhang Lei has no good solution.

Fighting is fighting for supplies.

This is especially true for the troops of the Lighthouse Country.

In the absence of supplies, the troops of the lighthouse country will surrender to the Japanese army at any time.

Although it was tense for Edgar in one day, he could still do it.

And Winton's Japanese army, during this time, will be attracted by Douglas's troops.

If Douglas still has some ability, it is still possible to last a day.

However, Zhang Lei is not optimistic about this.

Edgar was an honest man.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he quickly retreated from Clark River with his troops.

At this time, Douglas was ordering his troops to attack Winton in an all-round way.

Very imposing.

Douglas's force consisted of three divisions.

Each division has more than 3 troops.

Very huge.

The equipment is also ok.

Because it is unrealistic to transport weapons from the mainland of the Queen's country to the Kangaroo country, after negotiation, Douglas's troops are equipped with American equipment.

Of course, this requires payment.
