Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1851 Counterattack
Ouyang Yun learned about the information related to the Bohe Sea naval battle about three hours later than the White House.After reading the urgent telegram sent by the Second Expeditionary Army Headquarters, after setting off from Guangzhou, he forgot about the Pacific Fleet for the first time, and began to seriously consider matters related to the Philippine campaign.

Japan successfully attacked Pearl Harbor and wiped out the US Pacific Fleet, which was in line with his vision.Familiarity with the history of this time period made him very clear about what kind of war monster the United States would become once it entered a wartime system.In this way, if the Japanese army can gain the upper hand in the contest with the US military at the beginning, and if they can take the lead for a certain period of time, then the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army can play a decisive role, and it can even grow into an allied force that resists the Japanese army. The leading force gradually drives the rise of China as a whole.However, the occurrence of this unplanned naval battle in the Bohe Sea led to the Philippine campaign directly entering a situation where the Japanese army fully took the initiative, which exceeded the bottom line of his idea.

After the Japanese army took over the Philippines, the next thing to do is to attack the areas controlled by Tainan and Taichung Xuebing Taiwan Corps. Now, the Pacific Fleet has not yet formed a complete combat force, and the Dongshan Fleet and Haikou Fleet are not enough to compete with the Japanese Navy. In the second battle, when the Taiwan Corps had not yet completed its defense system, the progress of the Philippine campaign was actually related to whether the Taiwan Corps could smash the next Japanese offensive.

The U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines plus the local troops in the Philippines totaled only about 15, and now 5 have been wiped out at once. In addition, the combat troops of Sharp's three divisions have basically lost their combat effectiveness. The aviation unit suffered heavy losses again, and the resistance force controlled by MacArthur was actually only about [-] people left.Ouyang Yun is well versed in American morality, and knows that under such circumstances, even if MacArthur still has the heart to fight, the US government and military will definitely consider retreating.As a result, the situation of the Second Expeditionary Army would be embarrassing.Should I stick to it alone or withdraw as well?He suddenly couldn't make up his mind.

Let Xin Bao call Jiang Huangyong, Bai Liusu and Shui Hongxiu, and he gave them the telegrams to read one by one, then frowned slightly and said: "The Americans will definitely retreat next, tell me, Lao Guo and the others What's next?"

"Destroyed 7 people in one battle? Did the Americans make paper? So vulnerable?" Jiang Huangyong sighed while looking at the telegram.

Shui Hongxiu continued: "I've read the information about the U.S. military. In terms of overall combat power, the U.S. military is not bad, but its individual soldiers are far inferior to ours. Moreover, the Americans are better at fighting with the wind. The commander’s estimate is correct, and I also think that the Americans will retreat next. The most fundamental reason why we sent troops to the Philippines was to slow down the speed at which the Japanese army took the Philippines, so as to buy time for Taiwan and Hainan to prepare for war. Therefore, Even if the Americans want to withdraw, the Second Expeditionary Army must stay behind and continue to slow down the Japanese army's attack speed. I personally think that the biggest problem our army is facing now is how to balance these two points—how long will it take for the Taiwan Corps to move forward? Completing the preparations for the battle, and more importantly, in order to achieve this goal, it is cost-effective for our army to pay a high price!"

The Xuebing Army entered Guangzhou in 36. After five years of operation, the military and political system has become more complete.One of the most distinctive features is a series of officer training systems.Thanks to this training system, Shui Hongxiu, the former head of the bandits and now the commander of the Lady Yunwei Army, has grown into a qualified senior commander despite his low cultural starting point.She can say these words, it is obvious that she has specialized in research on issues related to the combat power of the US military, so she appears very professional.

Jiang Huangyong continued: "I agree with the Sailor Seat's point of view. However, I think it may be a bit difficult to achieve this goal with the Second Expeditionary Army alone. It is best to let the Haikou Fleet cooperate! Little Sir, our army's submarines Isn't the technology ahead of Japan? If we make full use of this, we may not be able to prevent the small fish from eating the big fish, and causing enough trouble for the little devils."

The submarine force in the Haikou Fleet, especially the Song-class submarine, is another secret weapon of the Xuebing Army.Since the establishment of the submarine force, it has participated in two battles before and after, which can be regarded as accumulating a certain amount of combat experience.Among them, in the first battle, two Song-class ships traveled thousands of miles, attacked the Western Expedition Fleet under the banner of the British Far East Fleet, and achieved a good record of sinking the "Kaga" aircraft carrier.

Ouyang Yun also knew that without the support of the navy and air force, it would be very difficult for the Second Expeditionary Army to rely solely on the ground forces and the Japanese and Western Expeditionary Fleet.After hearing Jiang Huangyong's suggestion, he was moved, looked at Bai Liusu and said, "Tausu, tell me too."

Bai Liusu exchanged glances with him, then looked at Jiang Huangyong and Shui Hongxiu, and then said in her characteristic hoarse voice: "If the U.S. military really withdraws from the Philippines, of course we will give support to Brother Guo and the others. However, I don't agree to go to Haikou Fleet. The Japanese Combined Fleet attacked Pearl Harbor on the 14th. Should we return at this time? If we expose our naval power prematurely, we will definitely be counterattacked by the Japanese army. With the weak naval combat strength of the Haikou Fleet and Dongshan Fleet , We are not strong enough to resist the combined fleet. I think it is more appropriate to dispatch the air force from Hainan to support. How to do it, you can ask President Ji and Commander Tie to discuss it.”

"Do you want to invite De Gu to come over and ask for his opinion?" Jiang Huangyong said.

Ouyang Yun shook his head and thought for a while, "Personally, I prefer to send out the air force for support. Ge Laozi, it's only been a few days since the agreement of 'dividing land and defending' was reached, and the Americans actually came out to me. -"

"Support by the Air Force? In that case, timeliness cannot be guaranteed. After all, the Philippines is more than a thousand kilometers away from Hainan, so it can guarantee the smooth communication of telecommunication, but even the Baiji dolphin needs to fly for more than two hours. Arrive at the battlefield. And I think there will be a hidden danger in this way, once the Japanese army starts a battle for the airspace in the South China Sea, will it drag us into endless air battles?" Jiang Huangyong said.

What Jiang Huangyong said is also true.The main purpose of the Japanese army's attack on the Philippines was to counterattack Taiwan and Hainan, but at the same time it was also to ensure the smooth flow of waterways in the mainland and Southeast Asia.If the cadet army really dispatched a large group to support the Philippines, then even if the Japanese army wanted to ensure the safety of the waterway, they could only dispatch aviation troops to compete for control of the South China Sea airspace.The Baiji Dolphin and the Sky Fortress actually had a technical advantage, but after the Japanese army had a zero battle, this advantage was no longer overwhelming. The Japanese army could completely offset or even counter it with its numerical advantage.And once the scale of the air battle is expanded, then the student army may really be dragged into an unlimited air battle——Ouyang Yun frowned and thought deeply, and after more than ten seconds, he met Jiang Huangyong and others' eyes and said heavily: "Pure defense can only be passively beaten. It seems that we must launch a counterattack properly! Well, let's properly show our strength to the world!"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"Ningbo Airport is ready for use. Ningbo is less than [-] kilometers away from several military ports in the southwest of Japan. Let the little devil taste the fury of the sky fortress again!"

"Brother, you want to bomb the Japanese mainland?" Bai Liusu asked in surprise.

Ouyang Yun said firmly, "Yes!"

Jiang Huangyong, Shui Hongxiu and Bai Liusu looked at each other, and the expressions of all three became excited.
