Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1945 The Wolves
Soldiers, only when they fight can their value be reflected.By the same token, the value of an army's existence is also related to war.The situation in China at this time is definitely not good. At this time, Young Marshal Zhang led an army of nearly 20 but was nesting in the border area between China and Myanmar. No matter what reasons he had, it was not advisable.If the Northeast Army could stick to the Burmese defense line at the beginning, the cadet army could use Bangkok as a supply point to squeeze the Japanese army out of the southeast peninsula. Unfortunately, at the most critical moment, the Northeast Army slipped away without saying a word.This is the reason why Ouyang Yun decided to hang out with the young commander for a while.Of course, it was precisely because the Japanese army invaded Burma and defeated the British Indian troops assembled in Burma that Ouyang Yun was able to coerce a lot of benefits from the British by sending troops to aid and providing Baiji dolphins, etc. From this point of view In other words, it seems that Shaoshuai Zhang's contribution is the most important.

Bai Liusu dug out the telegram from the young marshal, Ouyang Yun looked at it, walked to the map, and used a red pencil to mark the main defense direction of Chu Tiange's department. He asked Bai Liusu, "Let Tiange and How about the young marshal's defense?"

"Can the Northeast Army withstand the Japanese attack? After the Japanese army switched to Type [-] semi-automatic rifles, their combat effectiveness has improved qualitatively. The weapons of the Northeast Army are too backward, and they lack large-scale artillery and anti-aircraft weapons..."

"Why is the main direction of the Japanese attacking India?"

"Will the Japanese give up opening the Western Front against me?"

"Whether it is southern Zhejiang, northeastern Jiangxi, Southeast Asia, or Taiwan, all our strategic arrangements must be based on the premise of ensuring that the Pacific Fleet will not be attacked. The reinforcement of the Philippines by the Japanese Army's Honma Yaharu shows that the Japanese navy has lost its control over the Southeast Asian war. The right to decide, let the Japanese army win one or two victories in the Indochina Peninsula to help them consolidate their say in the Southeast Asian war..."

Air raids on Sasebo and Nagasaki naval ports, and air raids on the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet parked in Manila Bay. After Masaharu Honma went to the Philippine Islands, the Taiwan Strait Air Corps even unscrupulously spied on the Japanese escort fleet composed of three aircraft carriers. The military air force has grown into a decisive air force, which is showing its muscles to the world, but few people know that the intention of the student army is to attract the attention of the Japanese, so that they have no time to estimate the air force in the Arabian Gulf. It's just the Pacific Fleet of the student army that has grown up quietly.

In Tokyo, in the office of the Minister of the Navy of the Ministry of the Navy of Japan, Yamamoto 56, Inoue Narumi and a group of more than ten people sat together and were having a heated debate over a telegram sent back by Koizumi Toshiichiro.

The defeat in the Philippine war, especially the annihilation of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet, is tantamount to announcing Koizumi's death sentence on the way to command a large-scale battle.After Koizumi was hit hard, he learned to think quietly, and then on New Year's Day, when the little devil was staring at a world map in a daze, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he actually attacked the Sasebo and Nagasaki naval ports and the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet. It was connected with the construction of the ocean-going fleet by the Xuebing Army in Karachi.

It is no secret that the Xuebing Army built an ocean-going fleet in the Arabian Sea. The Japanese even knew that the fleet had two US-made aircraft carriers under its jurisdiction and merged with the French Far East Fleet.When the name of this ocean-going fleet reached Koizumi's ears, as a member of a traditional naval power, he had the same reaction as Admiral Kim of the United States, thinking that it was bound to be a joke.But now, after experiencing the failure of the Philippine war, especially after being forced to leave the front line due to the annihilation of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet, the little devil has changed psychologically and began to look at this issue more calmly.Koizumi's eyes first fell on Hainan Island and the surrounding seas under the jurisdiction of the Xuebing Army, and then westward. When he finally found Karachi on the edge of the Arabian Sea, the little devil's heart twitched, his eyes shrank into needles, and he blurted out in surprise: "Ouyang The cloud will really find a place!"

To develop an ocean-going fleet, a large-scale supply port is essential.The Yellow Sea and the Taiwan Strait facing the Xuebing Army's jurisdiction, although it seems to be under the control of the Xuebing Army, are actually always under the threat of the Japanese Combined Fleet.Although the current air force of the Xuebing Army is strong enough and has once achieved a brilliant record of sinking two Japanese aircraft carriers, if the joint fleet raids a certain port or a certain sea area at any cost, then the joint fleet must win in the end. fleet.

"I think the British laid mines in the western part of the Strait of Malacca should also be ordered by Ouyang Yun—" Koizumi thought of this, and his heart jumped in disappointment—no matter what method Ouyang Yun took to make the British People are willing to obey his orders. By extension, have Ouyang Yun and Xuebing Army's influence in Southeast Asia surpassed that of the Imperial Army?Thinking of this, Koizumi suddenly felt a sense of urgency.To this day, if you continue to use the reason of competing for development speed to cover up your ineffectiveness in fighting against the student army, then you are truly deceiving yourself.The cadet army has actually developed an aircraft carrier fleet. No matter whether this fleet can finally go out of the Arabian Sea, it is certain that this has formed a potential threat to the empire's maritime hegemony in Asia.It is urgent to kill the Xuebing Army, but the facts have proved that whether it is at sea or on land, it seems that it is not easy to directly capture Fujian and Guangdong and destroy the bases that the Xuebing Army relies on for development by launching one or two major battles. .It seems that the only way to deal with the so-called Pacific Fleet is first...

Based on the above thoughts, Toshiichiro Koizumi sent a telegram to Yamamoto 56 "full of affection", describing his concerns about the development of the ocean-going fleet by the Xuebing Army in Karachi.He also pointed out that the reason why the Xuebing Army uncharacteristically and frequently dispatched aviation units to actively provoke is to divert attention and make the empire ignore the fact that the Xuebing Army is developing an ocean-going fleet in Karachi.Finally, he made a suggestion that it should be resolutely killed while it was still in its infancy.

The Western Expedition Fleet under the command of Koizumi was not good for the Philippine operations. This not only forced Yamamoto to give up the dominance of the Navy in the Philippine war, but also made him constrained by Hideki Tojo in some major military strategic decisions. .Therefore, although he very much agrees with Koizumi's suggestion, he feels that the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army must be killed before it can leave the Arabian Sea, but when it comes to deciding whether to enter the Indian Ocean, he must unify the strength of the navy in the military department. OK.

Originally, with Yamamoto's status and prestige in the Japanese navy, it was not difficult for him to achieve this.He was even more arbitrary, and could directly ask other people to sign his order.However, since the defeat of the Zhoushan air battle, the entire Navy Ministry and the senior officials of the United Fleet are busy with how to retaliate against Fujian and Guangdong with air strikes, and the United Fleet has divided three aircraft carriers and several ships to support Masaharu Honma To use troops against the Philippines, so if he wants to send troops to the Indian Ocean immediately, he needs the cooperation of others to spare no effort, and he has to pay attention to everyone's opinions.
