Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tang Qiuli's feeling is absolutely justified, because the Japanese do this, which is against the norm. The so-called abnormal things must be "monsters"

    Judging from the advantages gained by the Japanese army in the Pacific islands, the US military has lost its ability to resist. The so-called scattered US and Dutch soldiers are not too many in number. They are just frightened birds and fish that have slipped through the net. It is too late to escape.  How much of a threat does it pose to the Japanese troops occupying the entire island?

    It was too late to hide. How could they have the courage to cause trouble to the Japanese army? Even if the American and Dutch Indian soldiers who escaped the fate of being annihilated had the will to resist, imitated Mao Zedong and organized guerrillas, the Japanese army would only need to leave a very small part of their troops.  Can they drive these foreign guerrillas to a pulp and beat them to a pulp? What's more, how can the US and Dutch soldiers who have lost their organizational structure and are like bereft dogs be able to fight guerrilla warfare?

    Even if you fight to the death, you won¡¯t believe it. Guerrilla warfare is so easy to control. Looking at the military masters from all over the world, only China¡¯s great Mao Zedong relied on this powerful political party to bring the essence of guerrilla warfare to a proficient and vivid level. Furthermore,  Having said that, Europeans lack the ferocity of Easterners, especially Chinese, to fight to the death.

    How hard can those foreigners endure fighting guerrilla warfare?  If Tang Qiuli is to say, those fleeing American and Dutch Indian soldiers may not have found anyone to surrender to. In fact, there is no need to conduct a large-scale search. They only need to put up a few notices, or send out propaganda vehicles and use loudspeakers to shout  After a few days, those distraught and distraught American and Dutch Indian soldiers didn't rush to surrender?

    It is obviously a thankless effort for the Japanese to do this. It smells like bluff and plunders the natural resources of the occupied areas. This is absolutely possible. Japan lacks these war materials. Otherwise, it would not have launched successive attacks on China, Indochina and the South Pacific.  Troops have been deployed in the area. 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 and Americans to compete for control of the Pacific region.

    The Japanese base camp has so many troops idle in areas where the war has ended. Is it because the war on Luzon Island is over?  The Americans were defeated miserably, and there was no need to mobilize troops. So, why did Chutian and the others have no news? If the battle on Luzon Island was still going on, why didn't the Japanese troops press on the Luzon Island battlefield and completely drive the Americans out of the area?  ?

    These questions of not knowing the situation were enough to make Tang Qiuli struggle. He then asked: "Yuhe, apart from these situations, what else does the intelligence say?"

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander, the intelligence of the special operations team also reflects a situation. The Japanese army in various places collected a large number of various motor boats and refitted them in several major ports. Because the Japanese army was heavily defended, each refitting site was operated by  The gendarmerie troops are under strict guard, and ordinary Japanese officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter. Our special operations team is unable to conduct more in-depth reconnaissance, and the specific situation is unknown."

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

    Zhao Yuhe had obviously made his own judgment before sending the telegram, and immediately replied: "Commander, I think that the Japanese army's actions are abnormal, strengthening the security of the occupied areas, and taking over and military control of industrial and mining enterprises.  There are many troops, not to mention that the battle situation in Luzon and Mindanao is unknown. The most likely possibility is that after the war, the Japanese troops took a short rest to prepare for the next large-scale military operation."

    Zhao Yuhe paused and then said: "Commander, there is another possibility, that is, the battle on Luzon Island is over, the Japanese army has occupied the island, and there is no need to mobilize troops. In this case, Captain Chutian and others  . . . " Zhao Yuhe didn't say anything further. This was probably the worst guess. The Americans were defeated and Chu Tian's group disappeared into the whirlpool of the war.

    Tang Qiuli understood what Zhao Yuhe meant. It was not that he had never thought about it. However, he still could not convince himself that neither his trust in Chutian's abilities nor the abnormal behavior of the Japanese army were enough to support him.  Make a judgment that the entire Chutian team is killed or missing.

    Tang Qiuli no longer had any appetite, so he enjoyed the meal carefully prepared by Mei Xue. He walked to the large map of the Pacific Ocean, folded his hands on his shoulders, frowned, and thought hard. Even deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng came in without noticing.

    Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly, and began to pack away the military lunch boxes on the desk, but Liu Xinlan thought more, "He is so anxious now, and I have to distract him from his own affairs. Am I too ignorant?"  ?" After cleaning up, Mei Xue took Liu Xinlan's hand, and the two of them silently said hello to Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe and left.

    After more than ten minutes, Tang Qiuli slowly turned around, saw Tang Qiusheng, smiled, and said: "Brother Qiusheng is here. Just in time, several special operations teams sent intelligence one after another. Yu and I  He is analyzing and judging the next move of the Japanese army. There are several judgments, and you can also"Listen"

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

    Tang Qiuli said: "My judgment is that the Japanese army cannot have two purposes for doing this. First, the battle on Luzon Island is not over yet. At the very least, MacArthur still holds certain footholds. The Japanese commander  , that is, the plan of Commander Ito Genzaburo of the South Pacific Expeditionary Force should be like this. The purpose of not rushing to occupy Luzon Island is to attract Americans to continuously invest 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 fighting took place are tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland of the United States. Whether it is the deployment of troops or logistical supplies, it is quite difficult.  The Japanese army can use the existing resources in the occupied areas to provide logistical supplies nearby. This alone will cause the Americans to suffer a lot. "

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

    Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "It is very possible. Otherwise, the Japanese troops that have finished fighting on other battlefields will press towards Luzon Island. At this time, MacArthur's troops will have only one way to retreat southward to Australia except being completely wiped out.  But he has no choice but to leave.¡±

    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 is very successful. The Americans will never give up on the South Pacific Islands.  , will inevitably 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. It is also where the US military headquarters is located. Now, it depends on the Americans. They cannot  I don¡¯t see through Ito¡¯s plan anymore.¡±

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

    Tang Qiusheng replied with a smile: "It's very simple. In order to avoid the fate of being completely annihilated, all the troops on Luzon Island will be withdrawn south to Australia. The local reinforcements will also use Australia as a gathering place to reorganize and organize the troops.  Be prepared for a long-term confrontation, and once the strength permits, we can counterattack the islands in the South Pacific. In terms of the national strength of the United States, it can be done within one or two years."

    Tang Qiuli clapped softly and said: "Brother Qiu Sheng, it's a good thing that you are not MacArthur. Otherwise, Ito Yanzaburo would have to lament that it is indeed the most correct thing to do when there is a good thing. With Australia as a base, and the South Pacific islands  Being so close, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack cities and territories in the Pacific without restraint. For the Japanese, it is not only a containment, but also a drain. "

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

    Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "Master, you are determined, no matter whether Ito Yanzaburo's strategy succeeds or not, a bloody fight between the Americans and the Japanese is inevitable. By the way, there is another  What could it be?¡±

    Tang Qiuli's eyes jumped, and his tone suddenly became bitter, and he said: "Because of this, I came to my second conclusion. The Japanese army collected motorized ships in the occupied areas with only one purpose, to attack Australia and knock out the United States.  It is the last springboard for people to counterattack the islands in the South Pacific. At the same time, it is also to eliminate the hidden dangers you mentioned, Brother Qiusheng."

    Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe were both shocked by Tang Qiuli's judgment. The Japanese army was now in full bloom on the islands in the South Pacific, and it was on the doorstep of Americans in the Hawaiian Islands. Their appetites were not satisfied?

    Australia is the strongest piece of land run by the British. Unlike other colonies, almost all of them are European immigrants. They have cohesion and centripetal force. It is easy to form hundreds of thousands of troops. Moreover, the land area is not what the Japanese army currently occupies.  Compared with other islands, the strategic space and battlefield room for maneuver are huge. 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 withstand such consumption. Therefore, Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe cannot  Agree with the teacher's judgment.

    Tang Qiusheng was about to retort when Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, strode in without even knocking on the door. He held a telegram and said with joy on his face: "Report to the division commander and deputy division commander, good news. Chu just received it."  Telegram from the Captain of Tianzhi"
