Age of Rebirth

The request of Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special warfare detachment, was purely accidental. In all Tang Qiuli's plans for the South Pacific battlefield, the special warfare detachment was not dispatched to go deep into the battlefield where Japan and the United States were fighting to obtain information. Tang Qiuli Li can't risk the lives of the special forces members.

Therefore, it was impossible for Tang Qiuli to approve Chutian's request for a war.

Tang Qiuli signaled the emotional Chu Tian to sit down, and then said gently: "Chu Tian, ​​you have a good spirit to take the initiative to fight. Are you a soldier? You should have such a vigor. Although there are thousands of people, I will Hey! No matter how dangerous the battlefield environment is, you still have the courage to go through fire and water!"

"However, there are many ways to obtain battlefield intelligence. Your plan is not the only way, nor is it the best way. I don't tell you the specific reasons. Well, your plan is just as a backup plan. When I need it, I will naturally consider it.”

"Why, after withdrawing from East India and Dongba, I haven't fought for a few months, and I'm so quiet? It's not good to be impatient! Chutian, from Mandalay to Yangon, hurried all the way, lunch Haven’t eaten yet? Xinlan, ask the cooking team to cook some good dishes, and I’ll have dinner with Captain Chu!” [

It seems that Tang Qiuli didn't want to talk too much about this issue, so he changed the topic. Everyone in the office knew in their hearts that what the teacher said was a backup plan. It was a disguised denial of Chu Tian's request to fight, but it was more tactful. Everyone's eyes were on the young colonel detachment leader.

Chu Tian didn't get emotional or eager to argue as imagined, but sat down.He said in a calm tone: "Master, before I came to see you, I met Director Yu of the Intelligence Department and Director Shen of the Investigation Department. Information, but worried, I think about it. The same is true for you, sir!"

Tang Qiuli suddenly realized, no wonder Chu Tian came up with such a plan as soon as he arrived in Yangon.It turned out to be the bottom of Yu Deshui and Shen Junlu, but he didn't think about what Chutian said, but looked at it with gentle eyes.This brave and resourceful general under his command, let's see if he has any reason to impress and convince himself.

Chu Tian went on to say: "Master, the two specialized intelligence departments both have such a headache about the situation in the Pacific battlefield. As the supreme commander of our army, you can imagine how you feel. Moreover, after I came in. Seeing all kinds of information in the room, it can be seen that, Commander, you urgently need to have detailed information on the battlefields where the Americans and Japanese are fighting in order to make accurate deployments."

Said here.There was a hint of cunning and complacency in Chu Tian's eyes. Tang Qiuli said calmly: "Observe carefully, draw inferences from one instance, and can tell the essence of things from ordinary details. In the shortest time, Come up with a solution, yes, I do need information in this area, but, Chutian, these alone are not enough, there is no reason to send a special warfare detachment to take risks!"

Chu Tian smiled brightly. He was not impatient because of the commander's refusal. He continued, "I understand the meaning of the commander. The biggest concern is how to ensure the safety of the special warfare detachment after it goes deep into the battlefield. , Master, I proposed this plan not on impulse, the specific implementation plan, after listening to my report, it is not too late to deny it!"

Tang Qiuli nodded, a little curious in his heart, Chutian is very confident, with a confident posture, what can he do?

Chu Tian went on to say: "Master, my plan is to draw 50 combat-experienced veterans from the entire detachment, basically above the squad leader, to form four groups, each with [-] people, to sneak into Luzon Island, The team members drawn from Mindanao, Kalimantan, and Sumatra battlefields are all proficient in Japanese and have actual combat experience with the Japanese army many times.”

"I am very familiar with the Japanese army's formation, combat habits, and living habits. Each team disguised itself as a small Japanese army and mixed in with the Japanese army. In this case, the more troops the United States and Japan have at war, the more beneficial they are to us. Hundreds of thousands How many numbers are there on the battlefield of the troops? The mobilization is extremely frequent and the battlefield situation is chaotic. I am afraid that the Japanese army headquarters does not fully understand where the troops are attacking. Who cares about a small army of more than 50 people."

"We are just fish, swimming in the sea of ​​the Japanese. Commander, our special operations detachment has carried out a lot of similar actions. We are familiar with the road and are veterans. It's just that the scale of this battle is larger. The skills of our special operations members , You still don’t know, you look more like a Japanese than a Japanese!” After speaking, Chu Tian was amused by his own words.

In all fairness, Chutian's plan is extremely maneuverable. With the special operations detachment's capabilities and previous performance, among the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, it is completely possible to come and go freely. Regarding this, Tang Qiuli did not care about it at all. There is no doubt, and this is not a cruel tug-of-war. The two sides rely on the lives of soldiers to fill in, and there is a high chance of danger.

The current battle situation is one-sided, the Japanese army is aggressively attacking, and the maneuvering space of each battlefield is limited. If it is not expected, the battle for islands in the South Pacific will end within a week. Without detailed battlefield information, it is impossible to grasp the best Chutian's plan is the best way to send troops. Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he was still hesitating.

At this time, Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Division, and Shen Jun, the director of the Investigation Division, came hand in hand. Without waiting for Tang Qiuli to ask what was the matter, they said, "Master, Captain Chu's plan is currently the latest plan." It is feasible, both of us support Captain Chu's plan, and the intelligence stations in various battlefields will also provide necessary assistance!"

Tang Qiuli looked at the three young colonels standing side by side, with sly eyes in his eyes, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, dare to say, these three people had already discussed it in private, Chu Tian came forward, Yu Deshui and Shen Jun Beating the side drums, to be honest, I have already been persuaded by Chu Tian.

Tang Qiuli made a serious face on purpose, and said: "Okay, the three of you have already colluded. If I, the teacher, don't agree, I will be outraged by the public. Okay, Chutian, I will order the special warfare detachment to immediately Form several teams, go deep into the battle area, obtain intelligence, and Yu Deshui and Shen Jun's departments will fully assist!"

Chu Tian, ​​Shen Jun, and Yu Deshui all stood at attention with joy on their faces, and replied loudly: "Yes, resolutely carry out the order of the teacher! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to make sure, I ask the special warfare detachment to carry out the mission this time, and the casualties should be zero. If the casualties are too large, Chutian, you have to give me an explanation. Also, the reconnaissance The focus is on Luzon Island, do you understand what I mean? There will be the most intense competition between the Americans and the Japanese.”

Chu Tian nodded thoughtfully, and Tang Qiuli then asked, "Chu Tian, ​​when are you going to act?"

Chu Tian replied: "Teacher, the task is urgent. The four reconnaissance teams have been formed and are ready to go. They can set off tonight!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "It seems that you guys have been prepared for a long time! How can you convince me that I will approve your actions?"

Chu Tian replied honestly: "I'm not sure, but we have to work hard. After discussing with the two division chiefs, Shen and Yu, I will call the detachment immediately. No matter whether the division commander approves our plan, we must prepare first. Once you approve it, you can pull it out immediately, don’t fight a battle of confidence, don’t you often warn us like this!”

At midnight on June [-]th, in the Andaman Sea outside Yangon Port, the waves were calm, and the night was as thick as ink, shrouded in the surrounding sea. Four speedboats with Japanese sun flags parted ways here, heading towards their respective destinations. Chu Tian watched the three speedboats leave, and disappeared into the darkness beside him for a moment. He let out a sigh of relief, and said to a young officer wearing the uniform of the Japanese Army Major, "Order to go down, Go to Luzon Island as fast as possible."

At the same time, Luzon Island, Manila, the headquarters of the U.S. Army in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, and the whole city were in a state of panic. The lights and skirts were flying in the past, and there was a glitz. The young women passing by, the American soldiers whistling wildly, and the drunken American soldiers disappeared without a trace.

The officers who came in and out of the compound of the U.S. Army Headquarters looked panic-stricken. From time to time, a jeep came galloping and stopped abruptly in the courtyard. In the long corridor, the tense atmosphere was even more tense. Needless to say, it must have brought bad news. Since [-]:[-] am on June [-], the US military headquarters has been in a panic like this.

In an office, General MacArthur, the commander-in-chief, and General Stilwell, the chief of staff, sat opposite each other. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces. .

Just now, the two ended an unpleasant conversation. The cause of the incident was a serious disagreement over a specific campaign deployment, or in other words, a bold decision that might reverse the situation in Luzon Island.

The 14rd and 200th Divisions of the No. [-] Army of the Japanese Army that attacked Luzon Island attacked Batangas and the suburbs of Amohill in the west of Manila on the afternoon of June [-], and the distance between the two places was only [-] kilometers from Manila. It is a key barrier for the defense of the north of Manila. Once lost, the north of Manila will be very dangerous. Both the commander-in-chief, General MacArthur, and the chief of staff, General Stilwell, are aware that Batangas and Amoshi Er importance.

However, a disagreement arose because of this, and this disagreement made the two commanders of the US military quarrel red-faced and in a mess.
