mixed in the war

"Hainan Island, Hainan Island, why didn't we think of it before?"

Office of the Commander-in-Chief.

Xu Tingyao kept paced in the middle of the room.He is a veteran in the battlefield, and he didn't pay attention at ordinary times, but after Qin Wei reminded him, he immediately discovered the benefits of taking back Hainan Island...Sitting on Hainan, he can threaten the coast of Guangdong, and at the same time use the advantage of the air force to block the Beibu Gulf, thus ensuring Vietnam The traffic line to Guangxi.The reason why the Japanese were able to blockade the Beibu Gulf with their navy and cut off their external communication lines was not because their warships could approach Hainan and Vietnam at the same time, easily avoiding the threat from the Chinese Air Force?But if Hainan is taken back by them, the Japanese warships can only hide in the Vietnamese seaport, which is equivalent to doubling the risk of blocking the Beibu Gulf.In addition, after cargo ships from abroad arrive in China's waters, they can also go north along the coast of Hainan Island. They don't have to be attacked by Japanese warships from Vietnam and Hainan as before. greatly increase.One reduction and one increase, this is almost four or five times the income.

"In addition, once we occupy Hainan Island, the Japanese army will no longer be able to enter the Beibu Gulf directly from Guangdong through the Leizhou Strait, and its voyage will increase a lot. The Leizhou Strait is only twenty or thirty miles away from the Leizhou Peninsula. Hainan launched an attack, and they will inevitably increase their garrison on the Leizhou Peninsula... This is tantamount to holding back part of their strength."

The more Xu Tingyao talked, the more excited she became.Hainan Island, an island neglected by most people, has so many benefits.

"Not only that. The Japanese have always coveted Hainan Island. After occupying the island, they immediately invested a lot of energy in development. Therefore, if we occupy Hainan Island now, then the Japanese invested in the island in advance. It became something in our pocket, which is different from getting something for nothing!" Bai Chongxi sighed, "Besides, the air force departs from Hainan Island, and can easily avoid the various air defense posts set up by the Japanese army on land. Directly approaching the mouth of the Pearl River...the threat to the Japanese army in Guangzhou will be greatly increased, and it can even seriously threaten their naval ships off the coast of Guangdong!"

"It's not just Guangdong." Qin Wei added, "Attacking from the sea can easily avoid the enemy's eyes and ears. With the range of our air force bombers, the combat radius can reach Taiwan, Fujian, and even Zhejiang. If we consider our With the temporary airports being built in major war zones, the combat radius can even be expanded again, to Jiangsu and Shanghai! Of course, Vietnam is also included here... and this also means that the Japanese army's operation this time has basically become a hard work. Because even if they occupy Vietnam, there is an air blockade from Hainan Island, and it will be difficult for them to obtain supplies from the rear, and once the supplies are exhausted, that is the beginning of their downfall."

"..."

"It's a bit too much to take for granted to completely block the delivery of supplies by the Japanese to Vietnam. The sea area in the middle is so huge that the air force cannot completely block it." Bai Chongxi gave Qin Wei a contemptuous look and said. [

"I'm just thinking about it, can't you?" Qin Weibai glanced over.

"Of course." Xu Tingyao finally interjected, "If you want to do something, you must first dare to think. I think your idea, Mr. Qin, is very remarkable. Is this your original plan?"

"That's right." Qin Wei nodded, then rolled his eyelids in resignation, "It's a pity..."

"Don't be sorry." Bai Chongxi blushed slightly.Qin Wei's plan was really easy to implement before the war between Guangdong and Guangxi.One was that the Japanese were completely unprepared, and they never thought they would attack Hainan Island; the other was that they had sufficient troops, and as long as the airborne division successfully seized a place where transport planes could take off and land, troops could be transported there continuously; Third, with enough fighter escorts and a large number of bombers, the Japanese ships are not a concern at all, and they will never dare to approach Hainan Island easily... In this way, they only need to clear Hainan Island. enemies, you can complete the task.But now it’s no longer possible. “To take Hainan Island, in our current situation, we have to airborne. But if you carry out airborne without enough fighter escorts, you should know the consequences... If the airborne division loses too much, it will not be able to complete the goal , the entire plan will be paralyzed!"

Bai Chongxi looked at Qin Wei seriously, and raised his concerns.

"It's simple, I'll issue an order to call back all those 'Hellcats'." Qin Wei said: "As long as we have their escort, this mission will be at least [-]% successful!"

"No, absolutely not." Xu Tingyao shook his head again and again, "Yucheng is the wartime capital, and Changsha is also an important frontier. There must be no losses in these places, and the Japanese planes must not be allowed to run rampant there... We can’t take such a risk just because we need it.”

"Old Bai?" Xu Tingyao didn't support it, Qin Wei looked at Bai Chongxi again, "You don't want to be ashamed of this battle?"

"I'm not defeated, what shame?" Bai Chongxi was furious: "Although Du Yuming is struggling, our four armies are about to approach the city of Guangzhou. As long as Guangzhou is recovered, who dares to say that my plan is wrong?"

"Guangzhou is so important, do you really think that the first birthday in the temple will give you a chance? They have left a whole group of divisions!" Qin Wei curled his lips.He just couldn't understand Bai Chongxi's arrogance: "Unless you pull Li Hanhun's Eighth Army up now, otherwise, you won't be able to take Guangzhou even if you are killed."

"It's impossible." Xu Tingyao smiled wryly, "Without the escort of fighter jets, bombers are lambs waiting to be slaughtered against Type Zero. Therefore, the Japanese army can use ships to transport troops to the coast of Guangxi at any time. If Li Hanhun is withdrawn at this time, Even if Terauchi Shouichi loses Guangzhou, as long as he cuts off the retreat of our two armies, he will be considered victorious."

"It doesn't count?" Qin Wei was a little disbelieving, "Even if our two army groups are cut off, they can still go north to contact Hunan. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are in a desperate situation."

"If you say you're stupid, you're really smart; if you say you're smart, you're as stupid as a pig!" Bai Chongxi snorted coldly: "Guangzhou is taken back, but Guangxi is lost. Then the Japanese can go northward along Guangxi and attack Anan on both sides." Hunan can also attack Guizhou and Yunnan from Guangxi! At that time, not to mention the two army groups in Guangdong, the entire Southwest will be full of battles. If Si Nei Shou repeatedly puts all his eggs in one basket and concentrates more troops to take Yunnan and Guizhou, and then use Yunnan and Guizhou as the Springboard, attacking Sichuan and Chongqing... Do you want the Guominzheng ax to move to northern Shaanxi and follow the old path of [***]?"

"That's it, I'm sorry." Qin Wei sucked his teeth and apologized for his shallowness, "But if this is the case, wouldn't we have nothing to do?"

"If so, why did I ask you to come?" Bai Chongxi sighed again, only feeling sorry.If it wasn't for Baiwu Qingji's sudden chaos, Li Hanhun would have been encircled by the two divisions of Shouyi in the temple, and it would not take long to eat him alive, and then rush to support the front line of Guangdong, and join forces with the 35th Army Group, in one fell swoop Take Guangzhou and recover Guangdong.But there are no ifs on the battlefield.Baiwu Qingji made a "random" move, but not only avoided his ultimate move, but also forced him into such a dilemma... Li Hanhun's Eighth Army did not dare to move , because once it moves, Temple Shouichi can easily invade Guangxi.In that case, not only would it be difficult for the troops in Guangdong, but Du Yuming, who was fighting fiercely with the enemy along the Red River, would also be in a desperate situation.Because once the Japanese invade Guangxi, they will immediately divide their troops to guard the pass between China and Vietnam. Du Yuming will then face the enemies from the south of the Honghe River and Guangxi, and fall into a situation of fighting alone.In this case, unless Du Yuming tried his best to break through the enemy's block and break out of the encirclement, once the materials "medicine" were exhausted, the entire Fifth Army, one of the most elite troops in all of China, might be completely wiped out. [

"Chief Qin, you should have brought troops here." The plan was good, but unfortunately it was not realistic.Xu Tingyao couldn't help but secretly sighed again, pulling out her excitement from the joy of regaining Hainan Island in her imagination: "Guangxi is short of troops now. At least two armies are needed!"

"I actually brought soldiers. But they have to take a detour, and they may have to wait for a while." Qin Wei scratched his scalp, "So I asked Du Yuming to withdraw to Guangxi first. One is to rest and wait for the counterattack; two, it is also paralyzed Give Shousuchi a moment in the temple, let him be happy first, so as not to be too nervous, think too much, and be too shrewd."

"You brought soldiers? Which army?" Bai Chongxi's spirit lifted.He is actually short of manpower now.He asked the Military Commission and Chiang Kai-shek.But there are not many troops nearby in Guangxi.Guan Linzheng's [-]th Group Army was originally near Guangxi, but now it has gone to Yunnan. In order to prevent Yunnan from falling into the Yunnan warlords again, they cannot move lightly; Come on, after all, last time this guy almost took down Changsha with three divisions, and even Xue Yue almost lived and died with Changsha City, so we have to be careful; as for other places, such as Jiangxi, it is even more important. Impossible, just a distance away will negate everything.There is only one Yunnan... He was expecting Qin Wei to bring two Yunnan troops here, but he didn't expect that this guy came alone, and he claimed that one person can be worth thousands of troops... Just heard this At that time, he almost wanted to send someone to send this kid to the front line, and let him charge alone to see if he had the aura of thousands of troops.

"Which army do you care?" Qin Wei rolled his eyes, "As long as there are soldiers, I will not trust you this time. I will command myself this time!"

"You command?" Bai Chongxi looked at this guy without disdain, "You can command... Did you only bring one platoon?"

"Don't look down on people so much, okay?" Qin Wei was very depressed immediately, "I can command a platoon? Can you add another one?"

"..." (to be continued.)
