    "Are you all under pressure?" In the silence, Tang Qiuli said with a smile, "The combat plan formulated by the Staff Office is very different from the previous ones, especially the attack targets of each corps.  Adjustment, so everyone is feeling the pressure, right?¡±

    The commanders of the corps below nodded in agreement with the division commander's words. Indeed, according to the original Southwest Pacific campaign plan, the attack targets of each corps had long been determined. The training plan of the troops was also aimed at specific targets. Now, let's take a look.  The attack was completely disrupted. We had to re-formulate the battle plan and adjust the offensive deployment of the troops. It was less than two weeks before the launch of the attack specified by the division commander. We were completely caught off guard!

    Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, stood up and said: "Division Commander, what I don't understand is why the division commander changed the original attack targets of each corps. Time is very tight. Now we are starting to overturn the original battle plan.  Isn¡¯t it too hasty?¡±

    There was a hint of complaint in Ma Chaoyang's tone. His words aroused the same sentiments from all the corps commanders. Among these corps commanders, Feng Jiwu was definitely a veteran, except for the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng.

    Feng Jiwu took over Ma Chaoyang's words and said: "I feel the same way. A regiment has hundreds of thousands of troops. From the moment we arrived in Indochina, each of our regiments began to formulate their own operational plans based on the Southwest Pacific Operation Plan Outline commanded by the division.  It took several months to take shape, and now, it suddenly changes to a new and unfamiliar attack target. It¡¯s so unprepared!¡±

    "For example, our Niangziguan Garrison Corps. The original attack target was Mindanao. All combat plans and troop deployments. Troop training were all conducted around the attack target. Now, it suddenly changed to the attack target with Commander Jiang's troops.  , attacking Kalimantan together means scrapping all the battle plans and starting over from scratch. If time allows, there is no problem, but the key is that time is tight! "

    "Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli suddenly laughed.  He joked: "Jiwu, the Niangziguan Guard Corps has become stronger in recent years. Have you learned how to complain?"

    Feng Jiwu's face turned red.  Explained: "Division Commander. I am worried that facing unfamiliar attack targets and insufficient preparation time will increase the casualties of the troops and affect the division commander's overall campaign arrangement!"

    Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "First of all, let me explain. This change of the original battle plan can be explained in four words: 'When the enemy changes, we will change!' The Japanese mobilized troops from Australia and the islands in the southwest Pacific.  A considerable portion of the force. This led to changes in the Japanese army's defensive strength. The new combat plan formulated by the Staff Office was made in a planned manner! "

    "You said that the attack target was changed and you were a little caught off guard. I don't think that's the case. The Division Intelligence Office and the Special Operations Detachment have massive intelligence support. Your original combat plan must be very complete. In this case, why not each get what they need.  Exchange with each other, and then make appropriate adjustments based on the actual situation of your own regiment. Wouldn't it be a perfect battle plan that suits you? "

    Yes, Tang Qiuli¡¯s words made the commanders of the corps who felt that time was running out and were a little unprepared because of the change in the original battle plan, suddenly realized. Why didn¡¯t they think of it?

    Suddenly, many generals began to get ready to make a move, "Commander Ma, our mission goals are completely different. Look" "Deputy Commander Jing, can you give up your combat plan first?"  Can I take a look? "" Commander Han, take out your treasure!"

    Looking at the generals below, as if they were doing business, Tang Qiuli suddenly felt funny and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. Today's meeting is mainly to announce the new combat objectives of each corps. The specific details will be discussed later.  , No matter how you exchange battle plans with each other, in the end, the division commander will review them together. This military meeting will last for two days, which is enough for you to communicate with each other! "

    "Today's meeting ends here. By the way, you are all generals with heavy troops. When you come to my place, you can't go hungry. I don't want you to go back and whisper behind my back that I am a stingy division commander who can't even bear to eat a few meals.  The Master's Office has prepared meals for you. If you have any questions, why don't you come to the dinner table to chat?"

    The generals burst into laughter. They found each other with whom they needed to exchange battle plans. While talking, they left the conference room. In fact, the content of today's military meeting was very simple. It was to announce the adjusted Southwest Pacific campaign plan and clarify the roles of each corps.  The key is to attack the target and the subsequent series of details.

    Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy division commander and chairman of the Indochina and East India Military and Political Committee, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, commander of the division fleet, Major General Battelle, commander of the armored force, and commander of the Southern Flying Group of the Aviation Force.Major General Yiqin was retained by Tang Qiuli, and together with Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the division, they held a small meeting.

    After asking the orderly to serve tea, Tang Qiuli looked at Tang Qiusheng and said: "Brother Qiusheng, the top priority of this battle is to attack Australia. I just thought about it. The Australian battlefield is a direction. In addition to strengthening your direct corps  With the strength of six brigades, you can make all operational decisions on your own without having to consult division headquarters.¡±

    "I am on Sumatra Island, far away from the Australian battlefield, and I may not know the actual situation on the battlefield better than you. So, Brother Qiusheng, you decide what should be decided!"

    Tang Qiusheng nodded, but he immediately raised another concern, "Division Commander, this time our troops are deployed in full force. The garrison strength in Indochina and East India is very empty!"

    Tang Qiuli immediately became alert and asked, "Brother Qiu Sheng, what are you worried about?" He knew that Brother Qiu Sheng had a very careful mind and would not worry for no reason.

    "Ever since the British government-in-exile arrived in the West India region, it is probably unwilling to be left alone. In the recent past, it has repeatedly provoked frictions in the border areas. I am worried that the British will take advantage of the situation and occupy the East India border areas!" Tang Qiusheng said thoughtfully.  .

    "British? Churchill!" Tang Qiuli said with a cold light in his eyes, "But he ignored this man and was ready to make a move. How dare he! By the way, Brother Qiusheng, why haven't I heard you mention such a thing?  "

    "It was also in the past few days that I received a report from the East India Garrison District Headquarters. I saw that you were accompanying your brothers and sisters, and I didn't want to disturb you!" Tang Qiusheng explained.

    "Brother Qiusheng, what's your response?"  Tang Qiuli knew that since his cousin raised his concerns, he already had a solution, just to remind himself.

    Tang Qiusheng smiled and said: "I am going to order the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th brigades in the East India border area to hold a large-scale military exercise before going to the Australian battlefield. By the way, they will also cross the border to  Fire a few cannons in the West Indian border area, and I think we can scare the British back!"

    Several people laughed, and Tang Qiuli said: "This method must be effective. Churchill is not willing to be lonely. He is seeking death. Brother Qiu Sheng, after the main force has departed, can the strength of the local garrison be guaranteed at the end of the Southwest Pacific Campaign?"  Was Indochina and East India safe before?¡±

    "As long as the British don't go all out, there's no problem!" Tang Qiusheng replied succinctly.

    "I'm relieved now. Let's put the British things aside for now, and wait until the Southwest Pacific Campaign is over before we settle accounts with Churchill!" Tang Qiuli said.

    Then, Tang Qiuli's eyes turned to Tang Qiuquan and said: "Brother Qiuquan, what I am most worried about is the navy. According to the original plan, we will launch the Southwest Pacific Campaign only after the four aircraft carriers ordered by Germany are put into service.  However, the time has come, and if you miss it, you can¡¯t get it back!¡±

    "After Akio commanded the troops to attack Australia, the Japanese combined fleet currently stranded on the west coast of the United States will definitely reinforce the Japanese army in Australia. In terms of strength, our current naval power is far inferior to Japan, so it is impossible to stop Japan.  The Navy¡¯s combined fleet is coming back, Brother Qiuquan, you have to be careful!¡±

    "Pfft!" Tang Qiuquan gave a rare smile and replied: "You don't have to worry about it. The fleet will not fight head-on with the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. Don't you know how much your own family has been robbed!"

    "My plan is to rely on land-based aviation forces to conduct several small-scale naval battles with the Japanese Navy's joint fleet in Australia's offshore waters to gradually weaken the Japanese naval strength. Then, when the time is right, launch another  A decisive battle!"

    "The Japanese Navy Combined Fleet has always been a serious concern for us. After the end of the Southwest Pacific Campaign, in the Eastern Pacific waters, if we want to occupy the Hawaiian Islands and other places, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet will be a hurdle that we cannot get around. Sooner or later we will have to  There¡¯s a showdown!¡±

    "Otherwise, we will not be able to leave the Southwest Pacific region. However, this will require the strong assistance of Commander Le!" Tang Qiuquan looked at Le Yiqin and said.

    "No problem, as long as there are enough field airports in Australia, the warships of the Japs will be living targets! If the old Japs named Isoroku Yamamoto dares to come, leave it to me! Kill as many as he comes!" Le Yiqin said confidently  Complete, he said in a comprehensive manner.

    Tang Qiuli glared at him and said: "Don't talk too much. If the factors of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet are taken into account, the combat aircraft of your Southern Flying Group are still slightly insufficient. In this case, I will immediately order Liu Cuigang to  , deploy ten fighter regiments and eight bomber regiments to support you. In addition, regarding the Australian field airport, you discuss with Deputy Commander Tang! "

      "Okay!" Le Yiqin said happily, "Now I can guarantee it! There will be no return for that old devil Yamamoto Isoroku!"
