Age of Conquest Reborn

MacArthur felt very good about himself. His foresight of the development trend of the war was ahead of the domestic military and political leaders. The defense of Manila was something that had been planned for a long time.

The idea coincides with that of General Jeff Field, the heavyweight in the military and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Moreover, he is one step ahead, which makes him quite complacent and has the pride of seeing the same thing as a hero. As for

It is unclear whether Admiral Jefferfield is willing to stand side by side with this self-esteemed general, who is both called a hero.

As soon as domestic reinforcements arrive, Luzon Island becomes the battlefield where he makes great achievements, and his power is infinitely expanded. All land, sea and air forces in the theater are under his command, including the Pacific Fleet. I really want to see Nimitz.

With a reluctant look on his face, MacArthur felt so happy when he thought of this!

He took out the Manila defense plan from the safe, handed it to the acting chief of staff, Colonel Kleister, carefully and carefully, and warned: "Kleist, this is the battle plan to defend Manila. Enable the top secret code immediately.

, report it to General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is related to our future destiny. You must personally supervise the transmission of confidential radio stations. No one is allowed to contact except you and the radio operator. Do you understand?"

Colonel Kleist walked out with a solemn expression as if he was holding a peerless treasure, not forgetting to call two fully armed military police as personal guards.

All matters have been dealt with. The country is actively forming new troops for the South Pacific battlefield. In three days at most, the Pacific Fleet will have two Marine divisions. It will arrive at the Laoag Military Port on Luzon Island.

Reinforcements were about to arrive, and the safety factor of the Manila Defense War was greatly increased. The imminent crisis had a solution. MacArthur's nerves relaxed.

Lighting his pipe, MacArthur's mind couldn't help but think of the formidable and very hated Chinese Tang Qiuli. What was he doing? Is he busy consolidating his occupied areas on the land of East India, or was he just here?

On the other side of the South China Sea, are you watching the Japanese with schadenfreude, beating up their own soldiers, waiting to take advantage?

MacArthur really wants to know, what is Tang Qiuli doing? The most true feeling in his heart right now is that this unruly and resourceful Chinese is one of the most troublesome people for General MacArthur, who thinks highly of himself.

One, or it can be said to be the only, MacArthur's gaze. Through the window, across the vast sea, looking at the continent across the sea.

On the evening of June 5th, in Yangon, Indochina Peninsula, the rear headquarters of the ** Division. Tang Qiuli, the division commander who was never forgotten by MacArthur, was looking at the man from the Chongqing National Palace with a rather interesting expression in his office.

order.

Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe were also in the office, looking at Tang Qiuli intently. Their expressions changed with his changes.

Tang Qiuli put down the telegram, looked at the two people, and said: "It's interesting. MacArthur used the trick of beating a cow across the mountain. Chairman Chiang responded with a big move. One wanted to use the government's hand to suppress me, and the other wanted to

I directly competed with Zheng in the ring, and Chairman Chiang had made up his mind not to contribute. This order and authorization statement came at the right time!"

"In the face of the devastating Japanese offensive, the U.S. military was beaten to pieces. MacArthur was obviously furious, but he still half-hidden his pipa and covered his face. Why did this happen? Could it be that he felt good about himself and thought that he could do it alone?

How can it withstand the Japanese attack?"

Hearing Tang Qiuli's somewhat sarcastic and disdainful words, Tang Qiusheng smiled and did not respond. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe asked: "Commander, since this matter has been made clear in the country, we have no choice but to face MacArthur."

Okay, look, should we respond? Even if it’s just to find an excuse to explain why we can’t send troops immediately, otherwise, we will be very passive with the alliance and mutual assistance treaty there!”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Yuhe, MacArthur is putting pressure on me through the government. The reason is very simple. His Operation Tiger Shark plan is to let our Army Division troops take the lead. To put it bluntly, it is for

The Americans worked hard to eliminate potential threats for them. As a result, the Japanese cooperated and launched an attack on the Americans in advance!"

"Moreover, as soon as he took action, it was a fierce attack that knocked the U.S. military around. This disrupted MacArthur's wishful thinking. He knew clearly that ordering me to send troops would have no effect, but he still came through the national government and came like this

On the one hand, it is obvious that he wants to put me at a disadvantage, and on the other hand, he believes that with the strength he has in hand, he can still compete with the Japanese."

"The more direct reason is that he still can't let go of his arrogance and refuses to ask me for help in a low voice. Yuhe, at this time we responded proactively and explained something, which made it appear that we were guilty and flattered MacArthur. MacArthur didn't

He would not ask me for help when he was beaten to the point of being exhausted by the Japanese and unable to hold on anymore. It is also possible that the United States responded and gave MacArthur the confidence."

"The war has only broken out for five days. The contest between the Americans and the Japanese has only just begun. Unless the strength of both sides is exhausted to a certain extent, we will absolutely stand still. Also, we need a legitimate reason and opportunity to join the South Pacific battlefield.

, and the reason is that MacArthur directly asked me for help, and the timing is that the Americans are completely driven out of the South Pacific islands by the Japanese."

Zhao Yuhe nodded thoughtfully, Tang Qiusheng smiled meaningfully, and Tang Qiuli continued: "Brother Qiusheng, Yuhe, what we need to do is to watch the fire from the other side, watching the two opponents with red eyes, and fight.

He was bruised and exhausted, and MacArthur was not in a hurry, so why should we be in a hurry?"

The three people laughed knowingly. Tang Qiuli paused and said, "Brother Qiu Sheng, the future main battlefield between the United States and Japan must be in the vast Pacific. The battle for islands is only the first stage. I have such a

For this reason, the military strength of the Americans lies not in the army but in the navy and air force, especially the American navy. In this regard, the Japanese are far inferior."

"Can we do this? Send the fleet's submarine force secretly deep into the Pacific waters. Whether it is a US warship or a Japanese warship, we can take advantage of it and make a strike to muddy the water. However, the risk of doing so is extremely high. We

The fleet has not yet entered this sea area, and supplies and reinforcements cannot be provided in time. The submarine force is fighting alone. If not, it will become the target of the US and Japanese navies."

"Moreover, if our identity is discovered, we will be in big trouble. Therefore, I have been unable to make up my mind. This is definitely a dangerous move. Brother Qiu Sheng, what do you think?"

Tang Qiusheng shook his head slowly and said: "It is impossible to do anything. Not only is it taking great risks, but in the sea area where the huge fleets of the US and Japanese navies are fighting, how effective can dozens of submarines be, let alone

, the submarine force operates alone, which is extremely dangerous. As long as one of our submarines is sunk, or a sailor is captured, things will become out of control. Division commander, give up this idea as soon as possible, the gain outweighs the loss!"

Tang Qiusheng's words were both warning and advice. At the same time, they also showed his firm opposition. Tang Qiuli could not ignore it and sighed with regret. However, this idea of ​​fishing in troubled waters tempted him like a man possessed.

, "If you have a chance, talk to Brother Qiuquan and Amosiev and see what he says," Tang Qiuli thought to himself.

Zhao Yuhe did not interrupt. This was a conversation between two division commanders. It involved military strategy. The division commander did not ask for his opinion. However, Tang Qiuli's eyes immediately turned to him.

Tang Qiuli asked: "Yuhe, how is the progress of Battelle's formation of armored clusters? Has the training officially started? By the way, I remember that when Battelle formed the troops, you went to inspect him on behalf of the division headquarters. Tell me about you.

views?”

Zhao Yuhe's face turned red, and he replied: "I have been back for a few days, and I am sorting out relevant information. I have not reported it to the division commander in time. Division commander, frankly speaking, I have learned about the tactical drills of Major General Battelle's armored forces and the tactics used.

I can't understand or understand it, it's very different from the tank battle I imagined."

"In general, it uses a large-scale armored group with extremely high mobility to carry out uninterrupted rapid and continuous assaults in a certain direction to achieve continuous attacks before the enemy has organized an effective and solid defense line.

Penetrate the enemy's defense line and create favorable conditions for the following infantry units to divide and surround the enemy to achieve the purpose of the campaign. Of course, this is what Commander Battle told me, and I am still digesting it!"

Zhao Yuhe didn't quite understand, but when Tang Qiuli heard it, he understood what was going on. Battelle had transferred the German armored assault group tactics to the Asian battlefield intact. To put it bluntly, it was blitzkrieg.

, to deal with the Japanese army that lacks tanks and other equipment, it is an indestructible weapon used to break through the Japanese defense line.

But the future combat goals of the Japanese Army are not necessarily limited to the Japanese troops. When the conflict of interests reaches an irreconcilable level, war is the only solution. No one knows what results can be achieved once it fights with the US military. Blitzkrieg is used

Can it be effective against the U.S. military with strong armor?

If I have time, I would also like to remind this boy that he should not just focus on the Japanese, but also put more effort into the Americans. Perhaps, his younger brother's future opponents will not be the Japanese but the Americans, he thought to himself.

Seeing Zhao Yuhe looking a little ashamed and embarrassed, which was rare, Tang Qiuli was about to make a joke when there was a knock on the door of the office. Unexpectedly, at such a late hour, Director of the Intelligence Department Yu

De Shui, Bai Luoyu, deputy director of the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Intelligence Department, actually came together.
