Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the happy atmosphere permeated the airport. It was only among the brothers that there was such restrained chatting and laughing. Western food and seafood should be kept at a respectful distance, and what I love the most is to eat large pieces of meat.

Tang Qiusheng suppressed a smile and replied: "Teacher, I haven't eaten enough in Outer Mongolia for more than two months. However, in Singapore, there is no authentic hand-meat meat. I asked Houzhi's cooking team to prepare a table. Northeast cuisine, does it taste good? It’s not satisfactory, let’s just settle for it!”

In the afternoon, after a short rest, Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiusheng, Li Honggang, Ma Chaoyang and other corps commanders and chiefs of staff, as well as the fleet commander Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, who came back from the special aircraft carrier fleet, arrived from Varanasi, East India. Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the head of the division's logistics department who rushed back, and others held a small-scale but high-level military meeting in the conference room of the rear headquarters, focusing on listening to the generals' reports on the Australian war.

First, Tang Qiusheng, the deputy commander who presided over the overall work of the rear headquarters of the independent division, made a speech. He said: "Master, in the past two months, on the Australian battlefield, the Japanese Southwest Pacific Expedition Army and the Allied Forces have been in a stalemate. However, the Allied Forces are in a state of stalemate. On the defensive, in October, the Japanese army dispatched more than [-] troops, divided into three groups, and launched the autumn offensive, advancing the front to southern Australia."

"About 12 Japanese troops on the west route entered the east of the Great Victoria Desert, at the northern foot of the Musgrave Mountains, about 13 Japanese troops on the central route, entered the line west of the Barril Mountains east of Lake Eyre in the North, and 15 Japanese troops on the east route With about [-] people attacking eastern Australia, they have crossed the Australian Basin and entered the area north of the Barwon River. At present, the Japanese army has occupied more than two-thirds of the Australian mainland.” [

"The Allied Forces were compressed to the southeast Australian plains, the Great Victoria Desert, and the west of the Gibson Desert. They were divided into two parts. The main force was on the Barwang River line to build fortifications. If the Barwang River line of defense fell, the Allied forces would Forced to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the plains, the situation is worrisome!"

Tang Qiuli interjected. "It seems that Fernandez, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, is having a hard time. Brother Qiusheng, how are the casualties on both sides?"

Tang Qiusheng said a few words with emotion, "The battle was fierce. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the casualties were heavy. The sky was overturned. After several battles, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Allied forces realized that if they lost Australia, they would lose the The foothold in the South Pacific, with more than 100 million Japanese troops freed up, will rush there in the next step. There are two directions, one is the Indochina Peninsula, and the other is the continental United States on the other side of the ocean. It is not feasible to attack the Indochina Peninsula. big."

"The Japanese do not have the strength and ability at present. With the 80 million troops of our three main corps, we are waiting for work. We hope that the Japanese will come to our door. The rest of the direction is the United States. Therefore, in the face of The Japanese attack. The resistance was very fierce, and it can be said that they did not give up an inch of ground. Among them, the U.S. military fought the worst. The troops withdrawn from Luzon Island were almost wiped out."

"The Allied forces fought repeatedly with the Japanese in several major battle directions. Take the battle from October 12 to [-] as an example. In the five-day battle, the Allied casualties reached more than [-]. There were more than [-] casualties, but the initiative and rhythm of the battlefield are in the hands of Ito Gensaburo, and the prospect of the battle is not optimistic for the Allied forces!"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "The Japanese army will never give up until they occupy Australia. How long will it take to fight in Australia? According to my judgment, there will be no results in a short time. At least in the There will be no results before the end of [-]. The Allied forces will retreat in the Australian battlefield sooner or later. By the way, brother Qiusheng, did the Japanese troops on Kalimantan and Sumatra take any action?"

Tang Qiusheng smiled contemptuously, and replied: "How dare you make any moves? They are more honest than rabbits. The Japanese are worried all day long. I beg their goddamn Amaterasu, let's not send troops to the Southwest Pacific battlefield. Therefore, the Japanese Army and Navy The patrol planes of the air force, even the air patrols in the Strait of Malacca and the southern part of the South China Sea, are frightened, and automatically draw the air demarcation line to the end close to their occupied area."

"According to the report of the Southern Flying Group's air patrol fleet, Japanese fighter jets tried their best to avoid encounters with our patrol planes when performing air patrol missions. Us, hahaha!"

As Tang Qiusheng spoke, he couldn't help laughing loudly. The laughter was full of confidence and boldness. Not only himself, but all the generals who participated in the meeting laughed loudly. The laughter echoed in the meeting room, and the vigilance outside The secret guards thought to themselves: "What's so happy about it? Make these big guys laugh?"

Tang Qiuli is like a spring breeze. It seems that the move of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is absolutely correct. Let the Japanese and the Allied forces fight to the death, and station the three main field regiments in the Indochina Peninsula. Sending troops to the Southwest Pacific battlefield, by that time, the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield will definitely be killed by the Japanese army, and the Japanese will also lose too much blood and become weak, taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

Roosevelt was a scheming politician. Although the Allied forces were battered in the Australian battlefield, they gritted their teeth and endured it, but never said anything. Asking him to send troops to the Australian battlefield is really too clever. It seems that Roosevelt miscalculated and left for a while. He probably didn’t expect that the Japanese army’s offensive would be so fierce. The sea and air traffic between the United States and Australia would be blocked by Yamamoto 56’s joint fleet. Looking at the ocean and sighing, without the main artery for blood transfusion, Australia, which is hanging alone in the southwest Pacific Ocean, can't last long!

As far as the significance of the Australian war itself is concerned, from Tang Qiuli's point of view, he absolutely does not want it to end too early, or to end with a complete victory for one side. Whether it is the Allies or the Japanese, in a word, it does not conform to Tang Qiuli's vision. Benefits, the best outcome of the Australian war should be the allied forces and Japan, in terms of manpower, material and financial resources, they must continue to be consumed until the two behemoths are anemic, and until the time is right for them to act.

And the rhythm of this war can be controlled by myself. The secret is that the logistical supply lines that the Allied forces rely on for survival, and the sea routes from the West Indies to the Australian mainland, all rely on the aircraft carrier task force of the Independent Division to protect them. Escort, figuratively speaking, the blood vessels of the Allied forces are pinched in our own hands. Since the Americans and British are in a tight situation right now, we might as well give them some tonic.

Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Brother Qiusheng, I didn't expect that you, sitting on the Indochina Peninsula, know the battle situation in the Australian mainland like the palm of your hand!"

Tang Qiusheng shook his head and replied: "This is all thanks to the Intelligence Department. Before Yu Deshui left for Outer Mongolia, he handed over the Intelligence Department's intelligence network in the Indochina Peninsula and the Southwest Pacific to me. Back to my old ways, don’t forget, when I was in the Northeast, I was the founder of the Bloody Hands Intelligence System!”

This is true. The originator of the intelligence system of the Independent Division is Tang Qiusheng. When he was in the Northeast, he served as the deputy commander of the Blood Hand Regiment and the director of the intelligence center. , as well as a large number of high-level and middle-level cadres of the two departments, all came from Tang Qiusheng's disciples.

Tang Qiuli turned his head and asked again: "Brother Qiuquan, how is the situation of your escort fleet? Didn't the Japanese Navy try to cut off this maritime supply line?"

Tang Qiuquan was dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general in the navy, probably because he had been floating on the sea all year round. His face was dark and red, but his body was stronger than when he was the captain of the special warfare detachment. style said.

"Master, the situation of the escort fleet is not that complicated. At the beginning of escorting the Allied logistics supply line, there were several small-scale naval battles with the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy in the East Indian Ocean near the waters west of Sumatra Island. There are winners and losers for each other, and after the establishment of the Eastern Indian Ocean cruise area of ​​the Southern Aviation Group, Chagos Island has played an extremely important role as the sea base of the Army Aviation.”[

"Wu Zhenjiang's mixed fleet of fighter jets and bombers taught the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy two hard lessons. Since then, the Japanese Navy has never shown up again. Now, the route is unimpeded, and the logistical supply of the Allied Forces and There are three main ports of call in Australia for troop transport, one is the Port of Perth in Geographe Bay, Western Australia, and the other is the Port of Melbourne in Bass Strait, Southeastern Australia."

"The other one is the Adelaide port in Spanga Bay. However, judging from the information provided by Brother Qiusheng just now, the purpose of the Japanese army's autumn offensive this time should be to take these three things that are related to the life and death of the Allied forces. Ports, including the war situation, if the situation continues like this, the escort mission of the aircraft carrier task force will probably end before the end of this year, but it’s okay, dealing with the British and Americans is really uncomfortable!"

As he said that, Tang Qiuquan shook his head again and again. It seemed that dealing with the Americans and the British was more tiring than fighting a sea battle. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but smile. Listening to Brother Qiuquan, he was really reluctant to accept this task. , especially the British, fought with the Independent Division troops in northern Myanmar. Now, it is really unpleasant to escort their logistics supply line again!

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Brother Qiuquan, earning money from the British and Americans is real money, so just bear with it, not to mention that the Allies can't be killed by the Japanese so quickly. , A good person will do it to the end, and help others to the end!"
