Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli's feeling is absolutely justified, because what the Japanese do is unconventional. If something is abnormal, it must be a "monster"

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 American and Dutch Indian 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 the most proficient and vivid level. Furthermore,

Having said that, Europeans lack the ferocity of Easterners, especially Chinese, to fight to the death.

How can those foreigners endure the hardships of fighting guerrilla warfare? If Tang Qiuli was to say it, those American and Dutch Indian soldiers who had fled might not have found anyone to surrender to. In fact, there was no need for large-scale arrests, as long as a few notices were posted.

Or if we send out a propaganda vehicle and shout with loudspeakers for a few days, the distraught American and Dutch Indian soldiers will not rush to surrender?

The Japanese are obviously doing this in a thankless and somewhat bluffing manner, plundering the natural resources of the occupied areas. This is absolutely possible. Japan lacks these war materials. Otherwise, it would not have attacked China, Indochina and the South Pacific successively.

It seems that the Japanese army has made plans to occupy the area for a long time and 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 suffered a disastrous defeat and there is no need to mobilize troops. Then, why do Chutian and the others have no news? If the war on Luzon Island

The fighting is still going on. Why don't the Japanese troops press on to the Luzon battlefield and completely drive the Americans out of the area?

These questions about the unknown situation were enough to make Tang Qiuli struggle. He then asked: "Yu He, 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. It is not necessary to do so."

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 has ended, the Japanese army has occupied the island, and there is no need to mobilize troops. In this case, Captain Chutian and others...

...." Zhao Yuhe did not go on. This was probably the worst guess. The Americans were defeated, and Chu Tian and his 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, 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 with helpless smiles and began to pack away the military lunch boxes on their desks. However, Liu Xinlan thought more, "He is so anxious now, and I want 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. Come and 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. There is no rush to occupy Luzon Island in order to attract Americans to continuously invest troops and consume the strength of the U.S. 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. For this reason alone, the Americans will 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 could 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, apart from 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.

Make preparations 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 there is no better way to be good than good. This is indeed the most correct approach. With Australia as a base, and the South Pacific islands

Being so close, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack cities and seize territory in the Pacific without scruples. 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 Yanzaburo Ito's strategy succeeds or not, a bloody fight between the Americans and the Japanese is inevitable. By the way, there is another kind of fight."

What could it be?”

Tang Qiuli's eyes jumped, and his tone suddenly became serious, 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 still 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, the 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, deputy division commander, good news. Chu just received it."
