Chapter 1740 Rescue Operation
The progress of history has not deviated from the original track. The major event that happened in that time and space on June 1941, 6 still faithfully happened-Germany invaded the Soviet Union in the early morning of that day, and the European War has fully unfolded since then.At noon that day, this explosive news spread all over the world.

In Singapore, after receiving relevant notifications from the Tokyo headquarters, Yamamoto imagined that the mechanized troops of the German Empire would rush into the Soviet Union like locusts. He slapped the table in front of him heavily, and finally made up his mind.He stated to Koizumi that after finishing the work at hand, he will fly back to Sasebo Naval Port to preside over the US strategy in person.Three days later, with the consent of the headquarters, he appointed Koizumi as acting commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Fleet, and after adjusting other personnel appointments, he prepared to return to Japan.That afternoon, in Port Mersing, he said to Koizumi before boarding the ship: "The industrial base of the United States is too large. Once it enters the wartime system, it will definitely become the decisive force in this world war. Since history has destined us and the United States to eventually There must be a war, so pre-emptive strikes are necessary. Mr. Koizumi, your idea is correct. If the empire wants to become an unsinkable aircraft carrier, it must obtain an engine that can continuously provide power--Dutch Indochina is simply It is tailor-made for this purpose - manage it well, whether the empire can finally win this game of the century depends on the development here. Don't worry about the base camp, no matter what happens, I will help you stand up - As for occupying Myanmar and opening up the western front against China," Ouyang Yun's name appeared in his mind at this point, and then continued with a sigh: "I won't give you hard targets, just do what you can. Don't worry, wait until it's resolved After entering the Pacific Fleet in Thailand, I will come to join you. At that time, no matter whether it is the British, the Chinese, or the Americans, they will not be able to stop our overall rise in Asia. Mr. Koizumi, please take care of everything!"

When Yamamoto was saying goodbye to Koizumi at the Mersing pier, a British camp in Chittagong, nearly [-] students from the Jungle Special Forces Brigade led by Guo Kui were getting off the helicopter and the Great Wall off-road vehicle in an orderly manner.

Clary and Captain Vicente of the "Gormandel" were in charge of receiving them. The two British men stepped forward to salute Guo Kui, Lu Zhibai, and Wang Changlong, and then embraced them warmly.Clary Xiong hugged Guo Kui and said with a smile: "I have heard that your army's Spike is the king of special warfare, and today I saw it and it really lives up to its reputation."

Having stayed in Hanoi for a while, Clary knew the true strength of Spike far better than Wavell.For the same reason, his enthusiasm for the standard weapons of the apprentice army far exceeds that of other generals in the Indian British Army Command.

Guo Kui wasn't too used to this kind of welcome, so he pushed him away without a trace and said with a reserved smile: "I don't dare to be the king of special warfare, but to deal with little devils, it is definitely not a problem for these young men under my command to be equal to ten."

Churchill and Eden were overwhelmed. In view of the fact that the "Bangkok Meeting Minutes" involved too many ulterior secrets, Ouyang Yun and Wavell deliberately avoided some sensitive items in the terms of the minutes that were made public. topic.This includes the part about the cadet army helping to rescue the captured British soldiers in Singapore.Of course, for the British, if the cadet army can really rescue the more than [-] British soldiers from the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Singapore, let alone an unfinished aircraft carrier and four "old V-class" destroyers , twice the price is worth it.

On the matter of rescuing the British prisoners of war in Singapore, Ouyang Yun was much more enthusiastic than Wavell because he coveted the Far East Fleet.Ever since Willie made this request to him, he has been considering the feasibility of this matter.He was engaged in special operations before crossing, and he had a lot of time to prepare, so the action plan he drew up himself was quite feasible.It was precisely because Wavell saw this action plan and felt that the Chinese were not just talking empty teeth, so he willingly accepted London's instructions and honestly signed his own on the meeting minutes. daimyo.

In the action plan formulated by Ouyang Yun, the cadet army participating in the operation was divided into two parts, one part was the jungle special warfare brigade led by Guo Kui himself, and the other part was the navy cadet provided by Chen Ce.Among them, out of distrust of the British, at the same time with the purpose of training troops.The naval part was imposed by Ouyang Yun's wishful thinking.In this operation, the navy will be in charge of two fronts at the same time: the submarine force commanded by Xu Kai of the Haikou Fleet will be responsible for the task of luring the enemy. In order to attract the attention of the Japanese army; the task of the naval officers and soldiers who are mainly engaged in driving and engineering under the command of Dongshan Fleet Deputy Commander Qi Minghao is equivalent to an actual combat exercise-they will cooperate with the naval officers and soldiers of the British Z Fleet to control the French Far East Fleet and the British Z Fleet A mixed fleet composed of several merchant ships went to the Strait of Malacca to pick up Guo Kui and the rescued British prisoners of war.

The conclusion drawn from the war game is that the key to the success of the rescue operation lies in whether the prisoners of war can be evacuated to the ship before the large Japanese troops arrive. You must carry quite heavy weapons.Thinking that the helicopter had been exposed, Ouyang Yun simply sent the helicopter brigade to assist in this operation.

Because the helicopter brigade had no experience of taking off and landing from the deck before, Guo Kui and the others arrived ahead of time, just in time for adaptive training related to this.

On June 6, the naval task force led by Qi Minghao arrived at Chittagong.Their arrival directly forced Wavell to ask Jean?De Gu and his French Far East Fleet started.That night, when Clarey, Watson and others were hosting a banquet to welcome Qi Minghao and others, Wavell hosted a banquet with Fleet Commander Phillips at the base of the British Z Fleet to entertain Jean?The captains and senior commanders of the French Far East Fleet headed by Degou.

Because the French West Indian colony, which was surrounded by the British colonies, did not have a large military port, and the Japanese and Western expeditionary fleet blocked the Strait of Malacca, no matter what attitude Degu and others had towards the British, they fled from the North Atlantic in embarrassment. After returning, they can only rely on the British in order to obtain a breathing space.

Life under the fence was not easy, especially since Degu's trip to Hanoi came back unhappily. Phillips, under the order of Wavell, directly ordered the blockade of Chittagong Port, restricting the freedom of large ships of the Far East Fleet to enter and leave the port.Although Degu has some criticisms about this, but because he is aware of the game between the high-level officials of Britain, France and Germany, he comforts himself and thinks that it is understandable for the British to do so.
