Age of Conquest Reborn

On the other side of the 83rd east longitude line, in Yangon on the Indochina Peninsula, in the office, Tang Qiuli, who was looking through the statistical reports, was also smiling, and he was smiling very proudly and happily, with the face of an old fox who had succeeded in his scheme.

Looking at the Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe opposite, I felt a chill in my heart.

The immigration plan went very smoothly. The East India Military Administration Committee lifted the ban on immigration to the West India. In just a few days, more than 10 million indigenous people crossed the nearly 1,000-kilometer border.

Influxed into the West Indian side, the reports of the border troops unanimously used the following words to describe this wave, "Starting from July 31st, the inflow passing through the border is like a crucian carp crossing the river, which is spectacular.

There’s an endless stream!”

In this regard, Tang Qiuli's instructions to the East India Border Guards were: "Only make statistics on the number of entries, be kind and polite, and reflect the style of a middle-class immigrant. No checks, no body searches, no identity checks on immigrants.

Let them cross the border, but entering the country is more difficult than entering the country. In a word, you are allowed to leave but not allowed to enter. I feel that under the hands of the British, I have not been able to get along well in my original place. If I want to come back, there is no way!"

As time entered August, Tang Qiuli turned his attention to the Southwest Pacific battlefield again, especially on Luzon Island. He could not guess what the United States was thinking. Regarding the Duli Division troops and regaining Hong Kong, it was closely related to the United States.

Benefit, Jingran didn't react at all. No matter from any angle, Tang Qiuli's military action against Hong Kong would involve part of Japan's energy, which was tantamount to indirectly supporting MacArthur, but the Americans just kept silent.

, this made it difficult for Tang Qiuli to make the next move.

In contrast, the British government made some small moves. They failed to ask for Hong Kong and could not get a reply from Tang Qiuli. The governor they were about to appoint did not dare to take office. They had to submit a symbolic submission to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

issued a protest letter.

The reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China is quite effective, "The National Government has entrusted General Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, with full authority to handle the matter of your country's resumption of the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong. Please discuss with General Tang. If Vice Chairman Tang agrees to return the

In Hong Kong, the national government has no objections. "In a word, you and the British can come in and deal with Tang Qiuli. He can do whatever he likes. The national government will not interfere at all! There will be no further consequences if the British come in."

On the other hand, the big bosses of various factions in the national government almost regretted hearing that the British did not dare to send a governor to Hong Kong. Tell me, why were you intimidated by the name of the British in the first place? What are you talking about now?

It’s too late, Hong Kong administration and

The military management rights have been settled. If we fight for it at this time, we will really take food from Tang Qiuli's mouth. If the ruthless Vice Chairman Tang gets angry, the consequences will be too terrible.

To the point of imagination!

Tang Qiuli couldn't figure out what the Americans were thinking, so he decided to set off another signal flare, preparing to attack Singapore to stimulate the Americans' nerves.

On the morning of August 3, in the large conference room of the rear headquarters of Duli Division in Yangon, a meeting was held consisting of the commanders and chiefs of staff of each corps, the commander of the aviation Southern Flying Group, the chief and deputy commander of the naval fleet, the chief of staff, the armored commander, and

Each secondary department under the division headquarters is responsible for participating in the military meeting. The specific content of the meeting is to discuss the campaign plan to capture Singapore and the specific military deployment.

Before the meeting officially started, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe made a detailed analysis of the current situation in the Southwest Pacific battlefield. In fact, there is nothing new. The United States and Japan are on Luzon Island, just like the two sides of the top shelf.

Like a bull, no one wanted to break the deadlock. Zhao Yuhe used a few words to summarize the situation in the Southwest Pacific battlefield, "Looking at the overall situation, the Luzon battlefield has become extremely boring.

The Japanese army seemed to be waiting for an opportunity."

Next, Colonel Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Department, reported nothing new about the enemy situation, but there were two that caught Tang Qiuli's attention and said: "According to the intelligence collected by the Intelligence Department, the Japanese army behaved abnormally, as long as

Concentrated in two places

First, the Japanese troops on Luzon Island have been mobilized more frequently recently and have increased their logistics supplies. Second, the Japanese Yokoyama Brigade stationed in Singapore has recently designated thousands of military restricted areas in the city. What are the specific areas?

The intention is being detected!"

Tang Qiuli frowned slightly, thinking about the content of the intelligence. After finishing the briefing, he said: "Based on these two pieces of intelligence, can we judge that the Japanese army on Luzon Island is planning an attack to break the current situation?"

The main purpose of the stalemate was to put pressure on MacArthur and mobilize British and Australian troops from Australia to reinforce the Luzon battlefield. Otherwise, it is unexplainable that more than 800,000 Japanese troops stood still on the occupied islands.

fact!"

"As for the unusual behavior of the Japanese Hengshan Brigade in Singapore, it is not difficult to see that our capture of Hong Kong had a great impact on the Japanese army. Singapore is an isolated corner of the Indochina Peninsula. The Japanese knew that they could not defend it, but they were reluctant to do so.

Give up and prepare to evacuate at any time."

After saying this, Tang Qiuli paused for a moment, seeming to grasp something vague, but not really. He frowned and thought hard. In the eyes of the generals of Duli Division, the division commander was distracted again.

, Tang Qiusheng, who was sitting next to him, pushed him quietly.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Tang Qiuli's eyes, he slapped the table, and said urgently: "It is certain that the Japanese Hengshan Brigade is preparing to abandon Singapore, but the Japanese army is also preparing to destroy Singapore.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the Japanese army’s sudden move to establish a military restricted zone!”

Having said this, Tang Qiuli cursed fiercely, "The Japanese are doing the same things as Hong Kong again, asking us to ignore them. They are really fucking stupid!"

Now that the plan of the Japanese army in Singapore has been judged, the combat meeting centered on how to conduct the campaign. After intense discussion, Tang Qiuli made the following deployment, "There are successful combat examples in Hong Kong. All special operations detachments are in

Under the command of Chief of Staff Qi Hanzhi, we sneaked into Singapore in advance. The only mission is to destroy the Japanese army's plan to blow up Singapore. Director Yu, your intelligence department must cooperate with this sneak operation to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"You two will discuss the specific details of the operation and report them to the Chief of Staff. I think you can make use of the relationship between Mr. Huang Lao, the president of the Singapore Chinese Entrepreneurs Association. This old man has a good reputation. It is said that he

In Singapore, it is still very popular!”

Qi Hanzhi and Yu Deshui stood up at the same time and replied: "Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the task!" Yu Deshui did not sit down, but continued: "Commander, since the last time, Mr. Huang has been forced to serve as

After a messenger from Ito Yanzaburo, our intelligence office established a single-line connection with Mr. Huang. Huang's house is the secret base of the intelligence office's Singapore station. The information about the establishment of a military restricted area by the Japanese army was provided by Mr. Huang!"

Tang Qiuli was in a good mood, nodded and said: "Okay, if you form good karma, you will get good results. If you hadn't had a long talk with Mr. Huang last time and realized his patriotism, you wouldn't have

With Jin Yao’s intelligence and his assistance, the safety of the infiltrating special forces team members will be guaranteed!”

Tang Qiuli continued: "As for the troops used to attack Singapore, I decided to use several brigades that participated in the Hong Kong campaign. However, this time because the Japanese army defending Singapore only had one brigade, Liu Qiu, who was directly under the corps,

The three brigades of Hongzhang Brigade, Chu Ziye Brigade, and Liao Zhenbang Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps can participate in the Battle of Singapore. Do you have any objections?"

Naturally, the generals had no objections. The division commander had just finished commanding the Hong Kong Campaign, and it was a time when he was familiar with it. No one was more familiar with urban combat than him. Tang Qiuli continued: "Battle, your armored troops should still be deployed according to the Hong Kong Campaign."

, However, using one tank brigade is enough. Singapore’s terrain is narrow and too many tanks cannot be deployed, which will affect the progress of the battle!" Battelle nodded.

Tang Qiuli turned his gaze to Le Yiqin, the commander of the Aviation Southern Flying Group, and said: "Yiqin, I heard that you recently formed a paratrooper regiment. How many troops are there? Can it be put on the battlefield now?"

Le Yiqin "suddenly" stood up and replied loudly: "Report to the division commander, in order to strengthen the size of the regiment, this paratrooper regiment has a full strength of 2,632. It was established a year ago. After rigorous training, now

, can be put into the battlefield completely, and can still ensure normal combat effectiveness. Thank you to the division commander for giving the parachute regiment the opportunity to practice combat!"

Tang Qiuli was so happy that he shook his head and said: "You Le Yiqin, you are really good at climbing along the pole. When did I say that I would pull the parachute regiment up? I just asked out of concern."

Just ask!"

Le Yiqin became anxious and said: "Commander, the paratroopers have been training for more than a year, but they are short of actual combat experience. This is a rare opportunity. You have to give it to them no matter what you say! You don't say it often, you have never seen soldiers with blood."

, cannot be called real soldiers, and if the paratrooper regiment does not go to the battlefield and fight a real battle, it will not be able to grow!"

Tang Qiuli looked at the agitated Le Yiqin intently, and asked seriously: "The paratroopers are a special branch of the military. The equipment they require is very different from that of the army. Have these been solved? If your

The Parachute Regiment uses infantry equipment, and I would not trust it to be used in the Battle of Singapore!"

Le Yiqin grinned happily and said with some pride: "So you are worried about this. Don't worry. Before forming the parachute regiment, I went to Dingbian and talked with Wang Xu from the Special Equipment Research Institute.

Commander, we had an interview, and it happened that there were several foreign experts who were engaged in this field. The equipment of our paratrooper regiment was all produced by the Dingbian Military Factory. I can’t say it is world-class, and it can even be ranked first in Asia!
