    But Feng Jiwu understood better that the first thing he had to do was to dispel the division commander's concerns about transferring the direct corps away from the middle battlefield. Otherwise, the next step of the plan would not be carried out. He smiled very relaxedly and said: "Division Commander, direct subordinates  Don¡¯t worry about the pressure the Niangziguan garrison will face after the corps leaves the battlefield!¡±

    "For more than twenty days, the Japanese army in the middle has become a frightened bird, busy with passive defense step by step and unable to take care of itself. As long as the Niangziguan garrison continues to maintain its original offensive, that old devil Ito Yanzaburo will not notice any change in the battlefield situation!  "

    "It is not difficult to do this. I can appropriately reduce the force, choose several main attack directions, and increase the intensity of the attack, thus giving the Japanese commander the illusion that we are eager to break through their defense lines and attack northern Australia. As long as the Japanese army  Focus on defense and think about other things!¡±

    "Furthermore, the division commander is hesitant to choose to attack from the east and west. I personally think it is better to choose the west route for the Japanese attack. Didn't our ancestors say in the art of war that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten of them?  ! 'The strength of the Japanese army on the West Road is weak. The direct-affiliated corps plus the Sulu Mobile Corps of Deputy Division Commander Tang will have nearly twice the strength of the Japanese army. w¡òww. Another flank attack will completely wipe out the Japanese army on the West Road.  It¡¯s not impossible!¡±

    Tang Qiuli nodded and agreed very much with Feng Jiwu's suggestion, which was also in line with his usual concentration of superior forces.  The practice of fighting a war of annihilation, and.  There is another advantage to flanking the Japanese army on the west route.  Don't worry about reinforcements from the Japanese troops transferred from the North American battlefield.

    Just as Tang Qiuli was about to speak, the artillery commander Zheng Yong stood up and said, "I agree with Commander Feng's suggestion, but there is a practical and difficult problem. There is a large sandy road between the middle battlefield and the west battlefield.  How to cross the desert, directly under the corps, artillery and armored units, for a long-distance attack?"

    "Especially our artillery unit, which is all mechanized equipment, with heavy artillery of several tons or more than ten tons. They are all huge. In addition, there are many vehicles. It is no problem to travel on highways and mountain roads. But crossing the desert may be too difficult and there is no way to go.  , that¡¯s all I¡¯m saying!¡±

    "Hey! Zheng Yong, who has always been brave and good at fighting, is also in trouble?" Tang Qiuli joked. Zheng Yong's face turned red and he was about to stand up to defend himself.

    Tang Qiuli waved his hand to stop him.  He said to Zhao Yuhe and Battelle, who were whispering to each other, "Yuhe, Battelle, please stop holding small meetings below. What do you two think?"

    Barter raised his head.  He said clearly: "Division commander, my opinion is that the troops directly under the corps can withdraw to the Gordon Downs and Billiluna areas, and then march westward covertly on the northern edge of the Dasha Desert. That area is sparsely populated and also  Without a large number of Japanese troops stationed, the whereabouts of the directly-affiliated regiments can be minimized!"

    "Then, we quickly captured Sanggu and La Grange and other places to cut off the Japanese army's retreat on the west route. Even if they wanted to run away, they would not dare to enter the Dasha Desert. In front of them was Deputy Commander Tang's Sulu Mobile Corps, and behind us were us.  More than 100,000 little devils are like turtles in a jar.¡±

    Battle¡¯s opinion surprised Tang Qiuli and at the same time made him infinitely gratified. His younger brother had grown up step by step in the flames of war. With his words just now, he already had the qualities to be a general on his own.

    He smiled gently at his younger brother, and then turned his eyes to Zhao Yuhe. Yuhe was the chief of staff of the division, and his opinions were very important.

    "Commander, the opinion I just made was put forward by the chief of staff, but it was just me who said it!" Upon seeing this, Battelle said with a smile.

    "It's the result of the discussion between Commander Battle and I just now!" Zhao Yuhe hurriedly corrected.

    "Okay, whatever method you two come up with can be used as a battle plan for the direct corps' westward attack. After the meeting, the staff office will improve it!" Tang Qiuli said happily.

    Then, he looked at Zheng Yong and Battelle and said: "Zheng Yong, your artillery, except for the self-propelled artillery unit, the rest of the troops will stay in the middle battlefield. You will also stay and be responsible for commanding the artillery operations. The armored forces will leave four tanks."  The brigade is unified under the command of Jiwu. One corps has to exert the momentum of two corps. How can it be done without a large amount of heavy equipment? After tomorrow evening, the directly affiliated corps will begin to march westward! "

    Seeing that the division commander wanted to leave him on the battlefield in the middle, Zheng Yong had a grimace on his face and wanted to say a few words, but looking at the division commander's face, he swallowed his words back.

    The troops of the Corps directly under the Central Road violently attacked the Japanese defense line for another day. When night fell, Feng Jiwu commanded the troops of the Niangziguan Guard Corps to take over, and the brigades of the Corps directly under the Corps began to attack.?Turn towards Gordon Downs and Billy Luna.

    In the dusk, the smoke on the battlefield had not cleared up. Tang Qiuli and Feng Jiwu stood in front of the armored command vehicle. He looked at Feng Jiwu with gentle eyes and said, "Jiwu, I'm leaving soon.  The burden is on you. Remember my words. Once you find out that the Japanese army is trying to encircle you, or if you get reinforcements and start a strong counterattack, you must immediately order the troops to retreat. You must not be reluctant to give up, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place.  !¡±

    In the dusk, Feng Jiwu smiled silently and said, "Sir, don't you trust me yet? When have you ever suffered a loss in a war?"

    "Jiwu, take care!" Tang Qiuli hugged Feng Jiwu.

    "Commander, take care of yourself too!" Feng Jiwu felt the division commander's agitated emotions and whispered. Then, he watched motionlessly as the division commander's armored command vehicle disappeared into the dark night, and did not speak for a long time.

    Darwin in northern Australia is where the headquarters of the Japanese Australian Front is located. General Ito, the commander-in-chief who returned from the MacDonnell Mountains in embarrassment, fell into endless frustration and pain. Since the day he came back, he has locked himself in his office.  , often not going out for the whole day. Whenever military affairs are required, Major General Akutagawa, the chief of staff of the front army, will support and handle them.

    The Central Army, which had more than 900,000 troops, suffered a disastrous defeat and retreated all the way.  More than 400,000 people were lost, facing the relentless pursuit of the disaster division troops.  Only the parrying power of passive defense is left, and.  Looking at the posture of that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, it seems that he will not give up until he hits Darwin!

    There are two things that General Ito is most troubled about now. One is how to withstand the fierce attack of the division troops with the more than 500,000 troops in the Central Route Army with low morale and incomplete organization?  Second, how should we explain to the base camp that the Central Route Army returned in defeat and suffered heavy losses?

    Before launching a full-scale counterattack, the very disrespectful telegram I sent to the base camp now seems like it.  How ridiculous and stupid it was. It simply cut off its own path and offended all the big bosses in the army. General Ito understood that no one in the army could excuse himself, at least in this matter, because he  Offended everyone!

    So, after escaping back to Darwin.  General Ito never defeated the Central Army and returned home. He reported it to the base camp and knew that he had not considered the crisis in the face of it.  A considerable number of troops from the East and West Route armies were transferred to strengthen the defense forces in the middle route.

    Dangen¡¯s report from the commanders of the east and west troops.  It seems that the situation is not optimistic, and the division troops also launched an active offensive.  The battlefield fell into a stalemate, and artillery fire continued.  The two armies cannot be divided at present, and under this situation, General Ito cannot force troops to be transferred from the east and west battlefields to reinforce the middle battlefield. If the number of troops is reduced, and there is a disastrous defeat in the middle battlefield, he will have to commit suicide.  It's a sin!

    It was not possible to mobilize a small number of troops from the east and west battlefields. A dozen or two hundred thousand people could not change the passive situation in the middle battlefield. In desperation, General Ito could only put the troops that had just arrived in northern Australia into the battlefield immediately.  When a division arrived, they would pull up another one and constantly fill the holes in the defense line. It was impossible to form a heavy counterattack group, and it became a passive tactic of adding troops one after another.

    General Ito also knew in his heart that it was very stupid for him to do this, but apart from that, is there any other better way? Obviously there is not. Moreover, the division combat aircraft from the Southwest Pacific Theater recently attacked the northern Australia  Air raids are becoming more and more unscrupulous and frequent, which has endangered the safety of the troops transferred from the North American battlefield to the Australian battlefield. Every air raid, more or less, will cause certain casualties to the troops.

    For this reason, he often sent telegrams to denounce the commander of the air force of the Front Army, Okazaki. However, Okazaki also had his own difficulties. The imperial land-based aviation forces had to fight against the Chinese aviation forces from the north and south. Although the number of combat aircraft seemed to be quite large,  , but divided into two battlefields, the number is insufficient. Coupled with the losses in air combat in recent times, combat aircraft are increasingly stretched.

    Many factors were intertwined with pressure and failure. General Ito was so overwhelmed that he had no idea what to do. He was almost going crazy. Even after all his hard work, he could not think of a sure way to solve the crisis in the middle battlefield!

    General Ito knew that with the more than 500,000 troops who had returned from the central battlefield defeated and the passive defense situation maintained until the end of this year, it would not be a problem not to be beaten by the division troops to the Darwin area, but what would happen after that?  manage?

    Calculating, there are still about 380,000 troops in the North American battlefield who have not reached the Australian battlefield, as well as the second batch of Italian heavy equipment supplemented by the base camp. This is General Ito's last capital, which must be used in the most critical situation.  It is best to use it in future counterattacks. Unfortunately, the second batch of supplementary heavy equipment?, no combat aircraft.

    The Front Army Aviation Command did not have new combat aircraft to supplement, and it became impossible to control the air. Without air control, there was no counterattack. General Ito was in the office, thinking and weighing over and over again, sighing, and worrying about his hair.  White.

    "That damn Nagumo Chuichi has hundreds of carrier-based aircraft in his hands, and they are very close, and he just sits back and watches Imperial Army soldiers being massacred by China's combat aircraft!" Admiral Ito cursed fiercely, and he thought of Nagumo again  Chuichi.
