    In addition to drowning the independent division fleet, this weak opponent, in the waters of the Southwest Pacific, Admiral Yamamoto's bigger goal is the eastern Indian Ocean and even the Andaman Sea. In addition to cutting off the maritime arteries of the China Independent Division,  In addition, there is also the idea of ????bringing the eastern Indian Ocean waters into the control of the combined fleet, once and for all solving the Chinese people's delusions about the Australian continent.  Point ¡ñ

    As for the naval and air force bases of the China Independent Division in the Andaman Sea area, Admiral Yamamoto did not regard it as a threat. With the strength of the combined fleet, there would be no problem in sweeping the Andaman Sea. He is absolutely confident and has the confidence to be confident. The fleet has  Twelve aircraft carriers and more than 500 main battleships, apart from being unable to land, are invincible at sea!

    In Trusan, Sumatra Island, where the independent division command is located, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked into the room of division commander Tang Qiuli, took out a telegram and said: "Division Commander, after receiving information from the intelligence office, all Japanese naval combined fleets  The main ship is currently docked at the Honiara base in the Solomon Islands for replenishment, and its next course of action is temporarily unknown!¡±

    After receiving the telegram, Tang Qiuli read it carefully several times. During the implementation of the Southwest Pacific Campaign, the two biggest variables were the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. Undoubtedly, this was a behemoth. With the current strength of the independent division fleet,  , cannot compete with it.

    The second variable is the question of when the more than 1.6 million elite Japanese troops on the North American battlefield will join the Southwest Pacific battlefield. Either of the two factors can affect the current battlefield situation.

    Judging from the intelligence from the North American battlefield, the troops of Japan's North American Combat Command.  Although there are frequent mobilizations within a small area, there are no signs of gathering on the West Coast of the United States.  In other words, the Germans who failed to achieve their goals.  He did not intend to let the Japanese leave yet. This could be judged from the telegrams exchanged with Hitler.

    If it were the Japanese Navy's combined fleet escorting millions of Japanese troops rushing over from North America, Tang Qiuli would have to consider adjusting the deployment of the Western Pacific campaign, because the independent division fleet was not in the Eastern Pacific.  The ability to intercept and escort the unprecedentedly powerful Japanese Army troop transport formations. More than a million Japanese troops pounced on them, and they had the ability to recapture any island or island.

    Fortunately, only the Japanese Navy's combined fleet came. Although it was not good news, it could not change the overall situation of the battlefield on the island land. At most, it was nothing more than dispatching aircraft carrier-based aircraft to support the various corps being attacked.  The Japanese defenders from all over the country were pressing forward step by step, and the warships could not get ashore!

    "What was coming has finally come!" Tang Qiuli said calmly as he put down the telegram.  "The next direction of action of the Japanese Combined Fleet is a crucial issue. What is your staff's judgment?"

    Zhao Yuhe thought for a while.  He replied: "Division Commander, the staff has made some judgments on where the Japanese Combined Fleet will point its next step!"

    Speaking of which.  Zhao Yuhe smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, Commander, judging from the current position of the Japanese naval combined fleet, any direction within the Southwest Pacific battlefield may become the target of its attack, such as the Banda Sea,  Sulawesi Sea, Arafura, Java Sea, Flores Sea, and even the Andaman Sea!¡±

    "There is only one reason. The current strength of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet is unmatched by us. With the current strength of our fleet, there is no way to prevent it from entering any sea area. Therefore, Yamamoto Isoroku can run rampant and unscrupulous!"

    "Phew!" Tang Qiuli couldn't help being happy and said: "Yuhe, you and the staff are really capable. Such a judgment is tantamount to no judgment! Several other sea areas may become the joint forces of the Japanese Navy.  The fleet¡¯s goal is only the Andaman Sea.¡±

    "There are no Japanese troops guarding the islands, and they are in the triangle between our Chagos Islands, Yangon, and Singapore Army and Navy bases. Why did Yamamoto Isoroku go to the Andaman Sea? Could it be that he was looking for death? It was just Le Yiqin's.  The Southern Flying Group is enough to make Isoroku Yamamoto¡¯s combined fleet despise the Andaman Sea!¡±

    What Tang Qiuli didn't know was that while he was teasing Zhao Yuhe, General Yamamoto, who was receiving a banquet from the local Japanese garrison commander at the Honiara base in the Western Pacific, had already set his next target.  , locked in the direction of the Andaman Sea, was nothing more than Admiral Yamamoto¡¯s idea. Later changes in the battle situation made Admiral Yamamoto¡¯s goal always remain in his idea.

    Zhao Yuhe's old face turned red, and he looked at Tang Qiuli who couldn't help laughing in embarrassment. Indeed, the staff's judgment was almost no judgment, but he really couldn't tell what the Japanese Navy's combined fleet would target next.  Point anywhere, because that direction is possible.

    "Forget it, Yuhe, you don't have to be embarrassed!" Tang Qiu saidHe suppressed his smile and said: "The Japanese Navy Combined Fleet is a combat mobile force of Japan. It can stand alone and enter any sea area. It is normal!"

    "However, when we consider the enemy's next move, especially when this enemy is very powerful, we often judge the problem from the most complex perspective. However, why not take a simple and direct approach? The purpose is to join the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet  What is the purpose of going to the Southwest Pacific battlefield?¡±

    "Isoroku Yamamoto commanded a huge fleet and came to the Southwest Pacific theater without accompanying Japanese army troops. What was its purpose?"

    "Escort!" Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Also, I'm afraid we will have to attack our fleet. After all, if the Japanese troops on the battlefields of various islands want to withdraw to Australia and do not solve the threat of our fleet, retreating will mean death.  !¡±

    "Yes!" Tang Qiuli said in agreement: "Yamamoto Isoroku has two purposes. One is to escort the retreating Japanese army, and the other is to destroy our fleet. Based on this, we can draw the conclusion where the retreat was.  The Japanese army suffered the most heavy blows from our fleet at sea, and that is Yamamoto Isoroku¡¯s primary target!¡±

    "Banda Sea and Java Sea!" Zhao Yuhe said with certainty.

    "We can't defeat it, we can afford to hide!" Tang Qiuli said easily: "Yuhe, please immediately send our judgment to Commander Tang of the Navy and remind him to pay attention to the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and take measures to avoid it.  With sharp tactics, we ordered the fleet to be gathered up and moved to the waters around the Gulf of Thailand on the Malay Peninsula, waiting and waiting! "

    "In addition, all corps are ordered to change the previous tactics of steady advancement and gradual oppression, and launch the most violent and rapid attack on the Japanese troops on each island, striving to inflict the greatest damage to the Japanese troops before the Japanese navy's combined fleet enters the battlefield.  !¡±

    "Remind the commanders of each corps that we will not have much time left. If we want to eat fat, we must use all our strength!"

    "Yamamoto 560 is here, and my interception and killing tactics at sea have come to an end. It's a pity, we just conducted one round, and I still have more to say!" There was regret and emotion in his tone.

    Zhao Yuhe twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself, "It's still not over. The fleet killed more than 180,000 Japanese soldiers with zero casualties. What else do you want?"

    If we say that in the previous Southwest Pacific battle, the Japanese garrison troops on various island battlefields felt great pressure. Some time ago, some troops of the Imperial Army who did not know whether they were alive or dead were stabbed in front, and the Japanese troops were able to  Leaving the battlefield, you have the opportunity to rush to the assembly point where you can board the ship, and you have the opportunity to retreat.

    So, now we are under strong pressure from the independent division.  The Japanese troops huddled in the southern part of the battlefield on various islands, eagerly waiting to board the ship and evacuate to Australia. They felt that a disaster was coming. Some time ago, they pressed the heads of the Imperial Army troops and beat them severely. Now, now  , and hit himself with his fist again.

    After receiving the order from the division commander and clearing the harassment of the Imperial Association Army, the independent divisions and several corps units on various battlefields immediately launched their efforts. The corps commander placed the most capable brigades at the front to form a  Attack Arrow, followed by other brigades, with the tank brigade as the forerunner, and with the cooperation of the Southern Flying Group bomber group and fighter group, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

    For a time, from Sumatra in the west to Luzon in the north, Irian in the east, and even Kalimantan, Java and Sulawesi, the flames of war suddenly filled the air.  Guns and artillery roared all day long, like a torrent, breaking down the blocking lines organized by the Japanese army, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army.

    The Japanese troops from various places who had already lost part of their strength were unable to withstand the ferocious attacks of various regiments of the Independent Division. The defense line shrank again and again. In the end, only the original boarding assembly point was left, which was still holding on. However,  , and can't hold on much longer.

    Urgent telegrams flew like snowflakes to the General Staff Headquarters in Tokyo, making General Mitsuru Yoneuchi, who was responsible for commanding the retreat, feel like his butt was on fire. He could no longer sit still. If the defenders on various islands in the southwest Pacific,  If all the troops of the Independent Division were eaten, even if he, the Chief of General Staff, would end his position, His Majesty the Emperor would not be able to spare him. Those were more than 400,000 Imperial Army troops, one of the assets to defend Australia in the future!

    Miuchi Minai first ordered the garrison on each island to use the existing ships to withdraw as many troops as they could. As for the naval interception of the China Independent Division fleet, don't worry, the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy is on the way.  Rush to escort.

    Then, with a humble expression and a series of urgent telegrams, Admiral Mitsui Yoneuchi once again ran to the residence of Navy Minister Nagano Osamu.  .  .  .  .  .

      The two-term Japanese military and political bosses still don¡¯t know what kind of deal was reached between the two old foxes. Anyway, Koichi Yonai came out of Nagano Osamu¡¯s official residence looking relieved and left in a car.

    More than an hour later, a telegram from the Navy Department of the base camp arrived in the hands of the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto.
