Invincible from the sword

Chapter 437 Absolutely Not Allowed

Inside the No.15 Army Headquarters.

Anan's hands trembled as he held the telegram.

Capture one hundred thousand troops of the Queen's Kingdom!
Queen's Forces Commander Douglas captured! !

Yoshi! !

well! ! !

Anan was trembling violently from excitement.

flushed.

I can't wait to hold the big tree and take two bites.

The Mikawa army and Hyakutake Haruki are worthy of being the excellent commanders of our island country, and they stabilized the situation in Winton so quickly.

What surprised him even more was that such a big victory was won!

This time, the defeat in Birdsville now seems to be nothing at all.

Anan felt a lot more at ease in his heart.

I originally thought that the opponent's troops were very powerful.

After a long time, it was not the case at all.

The No.30 Third Division of Birdsville was annihilated, which shocked Anan into a cold sweat.

I have always suspected that the other party gave him a lure to lure the enemy deep.

Otherwise, there is no explanation for Birdsville's failure at all.

That's why Anan ordered Winton's No. 15 Division and No. 30 Division [-] to stop attacking and strengthen defense.

But I didn't expect that the troops attacking Winton had such rubbish combat effectiveness.

One hundred thousand troops captured in minutes.

Even their commander was captured.

This made Anan think that the failure of Birdsville's No.30 Third Division was just a coincidence.

It is estimated that Mikami Yuya's command ability is too poor.

This allowed the other party to take advantage of it.

However, for the sake of caution, Anan Weiji did not order the No.15 Division and the No.30 First Division to continue to advance south.

Instead, let them continue to build fortifications in Winton.

Anyway, now his No.15 Army has only three divisions.

The military strength is a bit stretched.

Let's wait until the reinforcements of the Second and Fourth Divisions arrive.

After all, after losing the No. 30 First Division, the strength of his No. 15 Army is now only more than 7 people.

But the other party's combined forces still have 30 troops.

And according to the telegrams from Mikawa Junichi and Hyakutake Haruki, this captured army launched an attack from the front of Winton.

The defensive line on Winton's flank was not attacked.

This shows that the opponent Birdsville's troops have not yet appeared.

Have to guard against.

As the commander of the No.15 Army, Anan Weiji has a good understanding of the troops of the Queen's Kingdom.

That combat power is really not very good.

He had heard of this.

Okamura himself said that when in Burma, the troops of the Queen's Kingdom retreated all the way.

Then he was captured by Okamura.

If it wasn't for the expeditionary force to rescue them, the entire Queen's Kingdom troops would have to be caught fishing in Hokkaido.

Therefore, Anan Weiji still has a bottom line in his heart about these captives.

It's only one hundred thousand troops, which still surprised Ananwei a little.

If his No.30 Third Division is still there, then he doesn't need to defend at all, and can attack with all his strength.

However, there are not enough troops now, so I can only urge Terauchi Shouichi to give him reinforcements as soon as possible.

The Second Division and the Fourth Division have not been seen yet.

He quickly sent a telegram to Temple Shouyi.

After receiving Anan Weiji's telegram, Shousuichi in the temple was greatly lifted.

Suo Ga...

Anan Weiji, the great eunuch, is indeed quite capable.

Actually captured the opponent's [-] troops!
However, there is nothing he can do to reinforce the matter as soon as possible.

Now the aircraft carrier and warship that Yamamoto 56 has transferred to him to transport troops has not yet appeared.

According to Yamamoto, it will take at least five days to reach Dutch Indonesia.

five days...

too slow.

After the aircraft carrier arrives at the port, the soldiers have to be boarded.

In addition, there are weapons and equipment and logistical supplies.

In this case, when the Second Division and the Fourth Division arrive at Darwin Port, it will be ten days later.

The day lily is cold.

Although Anan Weiji's No.15 Army captured [-] troops, Terauchi Shouichi was quite clear about it.

These [-] troops are not the opponent's main force at all.

Coupled with the loss of the No.30 Third Division in Birdsville, the strength of Ananwei's few hands is not enough.

If the opponent concentrates all their forces to attack Winton again, it is hard to say whether his No.15 army can hold on.

After all, Anan's No.15 army is seriously short of logistics supplies.

According to the most optimistic estimate, it can last for seven days.

No matter how long it takes, you will have to eat shit to get by.

The most important thing is that Terauchi Shou has always felt that it is very unusual to annihilate his No.30 Third Division troops in Birdsville.

It was terrifying to be able to wipe out a division of their Japanese army within five hours.

After figuring this out, Terauchi Toshiichi immediately sent a telegram to Yamamoto 56.

Drop drop drop.

blah blah blah.

The telegram was sent, but nothing happened.

Ok?
Shouyi in the temple was very depressed when he heard the report from the devil's telegrapher.

This bastard Yamamoto is too much.

Not even answering my telegrams!

At this time, Yamamoto was upset on his battleship Yamato.

Holding a telegram from Terauchi Shouyi in his hand, his face was all black.

idiot.

Doesn't Terauchi Shouichi know that my fleet is implementing radio silence?

This big idiot!
Now his fleet is secretly driving towards Rabaul Island, the forward base of the United Fleet.

The newly formed Eighth Fleet has now arrived at Rabaul Island.

After resupply, the Solomon Islands will be attacked.

And Nimitz's Pacific Combined Fleet is very likely to appear in the Solomon Islands.

At this time, you need to be careful.

Yamamoto 56 tore up the telegram with one thrust.

Terauchi Shouichi was too much.

He has dispatched two aircraft carriers and ten destroyers to Dutch Indonesia.

Now Terauchi Shouichi is urging again, he is crazy.

How far is the distance on the sea, doesn't he have a little calculation in mind?
And Yamamoto 56 didn't want Shouichi Terauchi's troops to fight so smoothly in Kangaroo Country.

It's good to be stumbling.

Only in this way can they show the importance of their island navy occupying the Solomon Islands and Guadalcanal.

If Ananweiji's No. 15 Army's attack in the Kangaroo Country went too smoothly, then their joint fleet would not be responsible for the final credit.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Now his joint fleet needs this battle very much.

The battle of Midway Island almost made him lose face of Yamamoto.

If it wasn't for Naotomi Hattori's death insurance, Yamamoto would definitely be kicked out.

So this time, the importance of their island nation's navy must be highlighted.

If the No.15 Army occupied the entire territory of the Kangaroo Country, then his Yamamoto plan to occupy the Solomon Islands is a joke.

Now, more than half of the airport on Guadalcanal has been built.

It only takes more than ten days to complete the work.

And the infrastructure is almost done.

In order to improve the quality of life of the pilots, a refrigeration plant was even built on Guadalcanal.

Popsicles can be made.

This is an absolute luxury.

Yamamoto decided to go there to inspect the work after the airport was built.

Nimitz's No. 16 and No. 17 task forces have now reached two hundred nautical miles from Guadalcanal Island.

The commander of Task Force No.16 was Fletcher, and the commander of Task Force No.17 was Spruance.

The entire task force is under the command of Spruance.

The command of the Battle of Midway was just the opposite.

Spruance was also a little uncertain about this landing battle.

Without Zhang Lei's judgment and analysis, Spruance always felt powerless.

The warships of the Japanese army are definitely in the waters of the Solomon Islands.

It's just that the reconnaissance plane he sent out has not been found yet.

What Spruance is most worried about now is that when the troops landed on Guadalcanal, the Japanese army launched an attack.

This is when his fleet is at its weakest.

No one knows what is going on around Guadalcanal.

This battle is not easy to fight!

Spruance strongly suggested that Nimitz let Zhang Lei return to the Pacific Fleet.

Zhang Lei is an excellent staff officer for naval warfare.

Let him go to Kangaroo Country, what a waste!
Besides, hasn't Stilwell already gone?

But it didn't work at all.

Nimitz also had a headache.

He already knew about this problem.

During the battle of Midway Island, Nimitz did not agree to let Zhang Lei go to Kangaroo Country.

But wheelchair Luo and Nestor are very firm.

Clearly told Nimitz that if Zhang Lei did not go to the Kangaroo Country, the Japanese army would most likely occupy the entire territory of the Kangaroo Country.

This is very serious.

So Nimitz has no good way.

I can only hope that Stilwell and Zhang Lei will kill the Japanese troops who landed from Kangaroo Country as soon as possible.

However, although Zhang Lei is not there, it is always possible to send a telegram to Zhang Lei.

After all, Zhang Lei's analysis and judgment are too important.

Soon, Nimitz's telegram arrived in Zhang Lei's hands.

Let Zhang Lei stand out.

Has Spruance's fleet landed from Guadalcanal yet?

Zhang Lei quickly asked someone to find a map of the Pacific Ocean.

I set my sights on Guadalcanal.

According to my own knowledge of the Guadalcanal Battle, when the First Lu Division of the Pacific Fleet landed, it would not encounter any decent resistance.

The fierce battle is behind.

What Spruance needs to pay attention to most now is the sneak attack of the Japanese army.

Although in this situation, Zhang Lei is not sure whether the Japanese army will send the main fleet there.

But according to his estimation, Yamamoto should not send all the main force to Guadalcanal.

After all, the attention of the Japanese army should still be on Kangaroo Country.

Now the No.15 Japanese Army has occupied such a large area in the Kangaroo Country, which has greatly exceeded the psychological expectations of the island country's base camp.

Therefore, the focus of the island country's base camp attack will definitely be on the kangaroo country.

As for the Solomon Islands, the strategic value has been greatly reduced.
