Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli's feeling is absolutely justified, because the [Japanese] people do this, which is unconventional in itself, and the so-called abnormality must be called a "demon!"

Judging from the advantages gained by the Japanese army in the Pacific islands, the U.S. military has lost its ability to resist. The so-called scattered U.S. and Dutch-Indian soldiers will not have too many soldiers. How much threat did it pose to the Japanese army occupying the entire island?

It's too late to hide, how can anyone have the guts to cause trouble to the Japanese army? Even if the soldiers of the US Army and the Dutch-Indian Army who escaped the fate of being wiped out have the will to resist, follow the example of Mao Weiren and organize guerrillas, the Japanese army only needs to leave a very small part of their troops. Can these foreign guerrillas be driven to the ground and beaten to pieces, not to mention, how can the soldiers of the American and Dutch Indian soldiers who have lost their organizational system and are like bereaved dogs know how to fight guerrilla warfare?

I don’t believe it, guerrilla warfare is so easy to control. Looking at the military masters of all countries in the world, only Mao Weiren of [China] relies on the powerful party of the CCP to bring the essence of guerrilla warfare into full play. Furthermore, Europeans lack the ruthlessness of Orientals, especially [Chinese] Chinese to fight to the end!

Fighting guerrilla warfare, can those foreigners endure the hardship?If Tang Qiuli were to say, the fleeing US soldiers and the Dutch and Indian soldiers probably did not find anyone to surrender. In fact, there is no need to search and arrest, just post a few notices, or send out a propaganda vehicle and use a loudspeaker to shout For a few days, those six god masters, the desperate American and Dutch Indian soldiers, still rushed to surrender? [

[Japanese] doing this is obviously thankless, a bit of bluff, plundering the natural resources of the occupied area, which is absolutely possible, [Japan] is short of these war supplies, otherwise, they will not attack [China China, Indochina, and the South Pacific region have used troops. It seems that the Japanese army has made plans for long-term occupation, and wants to turn the current occupied area into a base for the [Japanese] to compete with the Americans for control of the Pacific region.

The Japanese base camp has left so many troops idle in areas where the war has ended. Is it because the war on Luzon Island has ended?The Americans suffered a disastrous defeat and there was no need to transfer troops. Then, why did Chutian and the others have no news? If the fighting in Luzon Island continued, why didn’t the Japanese troops press on to the battlefield in Luzon Island and completely drive the Americans out of the area? ?

These questions about not knowing the situation are enough to make Tang Qiuli entangled. He then asked: "Yuhe, apart from these situations, what else is said in the intelligence?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Master, in the intelligence of the special warfare unit, there is also a situation that the Japanese army collected a large number of various motorized ships and refitted them in several major ports. Because the Japanese army was heavily guarded, all refit places were made by The gendarmerie is strictly guarded, and ordinary Japanese officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter, and our special operations unit cannot conduct more in-depth reconnaissance, and the specific situation is unknown!"

Tang Qiuli frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Yuhe, what do you think of the actions of the Japanese army?"

Zhao Yuhe obviously had already made his own judgment before sending the telegram, and immediately replied: "Master, I think that the actions of the Japanese army are abnormal. It is not necessary to strengthen the security of the occupied areas, as well as to receive and military control industrial and mining enterprises. What's more, the battle situation in Luzon Island and Mindanao Island is unknown, the biggest possibility is that after the war, the Japanese army took a short rest to prepare for the next large-scale military operation!"

Zhao Yuhe paused, and then said: "Teacher, there is another possibility, that is, the battle on Luzon Island has ended, the Japanese army occupied the island, there is no need to mobilize troops! In this way, the leader of the Chutian detachment and the others. ..." Zhao Yuhe didn't continue, this should be the worst possible scenario, the Americans were defeated, Chutian and his team disappeared in the vortex of the war.

Tang Qiuli understood Zhao Yuhe's meaning. It's not like he didn't think about it. However, he still couldn't convince himself that neither his trust in Chutian's ability nor the abnormal behavior of the Japanese army were enough to support him. Make a judgment that the entire Chutian team was killed or disappeared.

Tang Qiuli no longer had an appetite. After enjoying the meal cooked by Mei Xue, he walked to the large map of the Pacific Ocean, folded his arms, frowned, and thought hard. Even the deputy teacher Tang Qiusheng came in without noticing.

Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan looked at each other with wry smiles, and began to tidy up the military lunch boxes on the desk, while Liu Xinlan thought more, "He is so anxious now, I still want to distract him from his own affairs, am I too ignorant ?" After tidying up, Mei Xue pulled Liu Xinlan's hand, and the two greeted Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe and left.

After more than ten minutes, Tang Qiuli turned around slowly, saw Tang Qiusheng, smiled, and said: "Brother Qiusheng is here, just in time, several special warfare teams have sent information one after another, Yu and I He is analyzing and judging the next move of the Japanese army, there are several kinds of judgments, you should also listen to them!"

Tang Qiusheng smiled and said kindly: "Master, what about your judgment?"

Tang Qiuli said: "My judgment is that there are two reasons for the Japanese army to do this. First, the battle on Luzon Island is not over yet. At the very least, MacArthur is still holding certain footholds. The Japanese commander , that is, the plan of Ito Gensaburo, the commander of the South Pacific Expeditionary Force, should be like this, not rushing to occupy Luzon Island, in order to attract the Americans to continue to invest in troops, and consume the strength of the US military on the battlefield.”

"My basis is this. From a geographical point of view, the islands in the South Pacific where the battle took place are tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland of the United States. Whether it is deployment of troops or logistical supplies, it is quite difficult. The Japanese army can use the existing resources in the occupied area to provide logistics supplies nearby, and the Americans will suffer a lot from this point alone."

"The U.S. military reinforced the South Pacific battlefield from the mainland and traveled long distances, while the Japanese army waited for work. In comparison, controlling the battlefield in the existing area is definitely beneficial to the Japanese army. MacArthur's troops on Luzon Island will not be wiped out immediately. At the same time , It was also to reduce the pressure of attacking the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army in the Hawaiian Islands, using MacArthur as a bait to disperse the strength of the US military, but the main purpose was to use the advantage of the home field to gradually consume the US military."

Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "It is very possible, otherwise, the Japanese troops that ended the war on other battlefields pressed on Luzon Island. At this time, MacArthur's troops, apart from being completely wiped out, had no choice but to withdraw to Australia. He can go, he has no choice!"

Tang Qiuli sighed and said: "Ito Yanzaburo is a guy who knows military strategy very well. He dug a hole for the Americans. As far as his strategy is concerned, it has great success. The Americans will never give up the South Pacific islands." , it is bound to compete with the Japanese army for this area, and the focus of the competition is Luzon Island. The geographical location of Luzon Island is backed by Australia, which is convenient for reinforcements, and it is also the headquarters of the US military. Now, it depends on the Americans. I don’t see through Ito’s scheme anymore.”

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli suddenly asked: "Brother Qiusheng, if you were MacArthur and faced with the current situation, what would you do?"

Tang Qiusheng replied with a smile: "It's very simple. In order to avoid the fate of being wiped out, all the troops on Luzon Island will be withdrawn to the south to Australia, and the local reinforcements will also use Australia as the assembly point to reorganize and organize the troops. Make preparations for a long-term confrontation, and once the strength allows, you can counterattack the islands in the South Pacific. In terms of the national strength of the United States, it can be done within a year or two!" [

Tang Qiuli applauded lightly, and said: "Brother Qiusheng, fortunately you are not MacArthur, otherwise, Yanzaburo Ito would have to lament, since Shengyu and Shengliang, this is indeed the most correct way, with Australia as a base, and the islands in the South Pacific It is impossible for the Japanese army to be so close at hand, and to siege cities and lands in the Pacific Ocean with fear, for the [Japanese] people, it is not only a restraint, but also a consumption."

"In that case, the outcome of the war, the final victor, must be the Americans. It depends on whether MacArthur can see through Ito's strategy. For us, it is not a bad thing to hope that MacArthur will be fooled and consume the strength of the Americans! "

Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "Master, you are a fisherman. As for the success of Ito Gensaburo's strategy, a bloody fight between the Americans and the [Japanese] is inevitable. What is one possibility?"

Tang Qiuli's eyes jumped, and his tone suddenly became a little heavy, and he said: "It is precisely because of this that I come to my second judgment. The Japanese army wantonly collected motorized ships in the occupied area for one purpose, to attack Australia and knock out the Americans. It is the last springboard to counterattack the islands in the South Pacific, and at the same time, it is also to eliminate the hidden danger you mentioned, brother Qiusheng!"

Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe were both shocked by Tang Qiuli's judgment. The Japanese army is now in full bloom on the islands in the South Pacific, and they are attacking the Americans in the Hawaiian Islands. Are their appetites not satisfied?

Australia is the most solid piece of land managed by the British. Unlike other colonies, almost all European immigrants have cohesion and centripetal force. It is easy to form an army of several 10 people. Moreover, the land area is not the few that the Japanese army is currently occupying. Compared with two islands, the strategic space and battlefield have great room for maneuver, and investing hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not help at all.

Once the Japanese army really attacks Australia, the Americans and British will fight back desperately and frantically. The war will inevitably be long and cruel. The [Japanese] cannot afford such exhaustion. Therefore, Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe, Do not agree with the teacher's judgment.

Just as Tang Qiusheng was about to refute, Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, strode in without even knocking on the door. He held a telegram and said with joy on his face: "Reporting to the teacher and deputy teacher, good news! I just received it." A telegram from the leader of the Chutian Detachment!"! ! !
