Age of Conquest Reborn

Facing the rather complacent Le Yiqin, Tang Qiuli asked a question that he later felt was childish, "Le Yiqin, why didn't I know you made such a big fuss?" This was actually the truth.

, it was also after I returned to Yangon this time that Brother Qiu Sheng said this. Before that, I really didn’t know that Le Yiqin had such a big hand and put the construction of the aviation force ahead of him!

Le Yiqin explained with some embarrassment: "Aren't you busy? A year ago, you were commanding the troops to deal with Shouichi Temple and Fengfumi Yamashita in Guizhou and Yunnan and on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar. I originally planned to wait

After the paratrooper regiment is formed, I have a surprise for you. I took it out in advance when you asked. However, division commander, I submitted a report to the division headquarters a few months ago!"

"Report?" Tang Qiuli thought for a while. He had no impression of this report. He looked at deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng with doubts. This kind of matter is usually handled by Brother Qiusheng. Tang Qiusheng slapped his forehead and said

: "Oh, that's what happened. However, Le Yiqin, your report was to prepare to form a paratrooper regiment. I remember I approved it at the time, but after a long period of trouble, your plan has basically taken shape! What the hell are you doing?

oah?”

All the generals burst into laughter. Le Yiqin, let's cook the rice before it's raw. It's typical to kill first and then show off. Tang Qiuli also laughed and said: "Le Yiqin, I won't hold you accountable for cheating on Deputy Commander Tang."

Now, since your paratrooper regiment can be brought to the battlefield, I will give you an opportunity. The entire paratrooper regiment is on standby, ready to join the Battle of Singapore at any time!"

Le Yiqin replied loudly: "Thank you, Commander! The Paratrooper Regiment will usher in the day of its formation with the best record. However, Commander, please give the Paratrooper Regiment a title. It's best to be majestic and loud, so that

The little devil's heart trembles when he hears this!"

Tang Qiuli was a little helpless and said: "Le Yiqin, how did you learn to push the envelope? Well, the name of the paratrooper regiment of the Southern Flying Group of the Aviation Force is called Falcon. It is fierce, agile, attacks like lightning, and suddenly appears in front of the enemy.

!”

The generals applauded, and the first parachute regiment of the Duli Division Aviation Corps received an official designation. In the future, it really became a unit that frightened the Japanese army. Le Yiqin was even more happy from ear to ear, so arrogant, how many of them are there in the entire army?

In the regiment-level organization, there is only one paratrooper regiment with its own unique number, which is decided by the division commander himself, which is very shameful!

Tang Qiuli then said: "Le Yiqin, the fleets of your Southern Flying Group's bases in Yangon, Bangkok, and Phnom Penh must be ready for battle. However, this time you are not the main force, but you are cooperating with the fleet and assigned to the fleet.

The combat sequence and specific coordinated combat plan will be formulated by you and Fleet Commander Tang!"

Le Yiqin happily agreed. Seeing what he meant, he seemed to have taken advantage of him. To be honest, Le Yiqin didn't care at all. Whether he played the leading role or not, who would be assigned to the command, as long as there was a battle, it would be fine.

I have been holding it in for almost half a year, and all of my brothers are holding it in like hungry wolves. When there is no more blood, their hands are raw!

After the basic campaign policy was determined, the large-scale military conference was over. The commanders of the regiments who came here in the hope that they could command the war were all dejected and looked lost. Even the rear command headquarters prepared

We didn’t even eat lunch, so we each returned to our base. The scale of the Singapore Campaign was too small. In Indochina, there were more than one million troops from five regiments of Duli Division gathered in Indochina. Only three brigades were used in total. They guarded the division commander, and good things could still happen to them.

On the head?

Tang Qiuli left behind Vice Admiral Tang Qiuquan, Commander of the Naval Fleet, Rear Admiral Amosiev, Deputy Commander, Rear Admiral Xin Xiguo, Chief of Staff, Rear Admiral Le Yiqin, Commander of the Aviation Southern Flying Group, and Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng.

Lieutenant General, Major General Zhao Yuhe, Chief of Staff of the Division, Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, Director of the Division Staff, plus myself, a total of eight people. Such a small-scale meeting was mainly to determine the operational plan for the Singapore Campaign and the details of its implementation.

..First,

Tang Qiuli looked at a few people and said: "Brother Qiuquan, regarding the concept of the Singapore Campaign, my principle is to annihilate the Japanese Hengshan Brigade not on land but at sea. Specifically, not within the urban area of ​​Singapore.

But in the Straits of Malacca.”

Tang Qiuquan raised his eyebrows and roughly guessed what his cousin was thinking, and said: "Commander, is your battle intention like this? Use your superior strength to adopt a front-line push attack to force the Japanese Hengshan Brigade to evacuate Singapore.

The only direction for the Japanese army to evacuate is Sumatra and Kalimantan, and the fleet needs to intercept them along the Strait of Malacca and eat up this Japanese army at sea!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "No wonder veterans often say that dealing with smart people is effortless. That's exactly what I mean. In the urban area of ​​Singapore, the special operations detachment sneaked in in advance to ensure that the urban area would not be destroyed by the Japanese army.

The Hengshan brigade drove out of the city and avoided

In order to fight a street battle, the most important thing is to protect Singapore from the destruction of the war. My plan is that the fleet should not use large warships, so as not to alert the Japanese army. If there is another desperate struggle, the fish will die and the net will be defeated, the significance of the Singapore Battle will be lost.

!”

"The fleet dispatched light gunboats. I also know that Brother Qiuquan, your gunboat formation, called assassins, is equipped with naval combat thunder rocket launchers. The firepower is as fierce as a destroyer. Before the Singapore Battle was launched,

Hidden in the waters of the Gulf of Thailand, attack at the right time. Even if the Japanese naval fleet gets the news and rushes over, it will be too late. Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group will fully cooperate with your fleet."

Tang Qiuquan nodded, exchanged a few words in a low voice with Deputy Commander Amosiev and Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo, and then said: "Our fleet fully agrees with the division commander's campaign concept. Not only the fleet gunboat detachment will participate in the battle, but also the fleet torpedo boat detachment will participate in the battle."

, also participated in the battle at the same time, using the most ferocious firepower to sink all the Japanese transport ships in the shortest time. In this regard, the fleet is guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Tang Qiuli said: "Okay, plus Le Yiqin's fighters and bombers, the Japanese army has no way to escape. The launch time of the Singapore Battle is set at 3:00 a.m. on August 8, and there are still more than five days.

Brother Qiuquan, hurry up and prepare!"

Just when Tang Qiuli was mobilizing his troops and preparing to carry out the Battle of Singapore, US President Roosevelt, who was far away across the ocean, was extremely confused.

Tang Qiuli captured Hong Kong in a sudden move without warning. After the intelligence was immediately transmitted to the United States, President Roosevelt immediately recruited General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to

Secret talks were held in the White House's own office, and the content of the secret talks was only one: China's sudden action, its impact on the Southwest Pacific battlefield, and its impact on the Battle of Manila that MacArthur had already prepared.

Roosevelt was a man with a very sensitive political sense. He had already judged the message sent by Tang Qiuli. This Chinese man was telling himself in this way that I was fulfilling the obligations of the Allies. Roosevelt had to admire Tang Qiuli.

With Li's political wisdom, the move to capture Hong Kong can be said to be a double gain of fame and fortune. He not only gained benefits and took Hong Kong into his own hands, but also gained the upper hand politically. This was a beautiful move. From his own perspective,

Impeccable!

Now that Tang Qiuli has a clear attitude, if he sends a signal for help at this time, I believe that the Chinese will be happy to agree and send troops to join the Southwest Pacific battlefield to help MacArthur get rid of the current passive situation. According to Roosevelt's most ideal

The troops of the Duli Division had better go to the battlefield of Luzon Island and, together with MacArthur, attack the Japanese Fourteenth Army and secure the bridgehead for future U.S. counterattacks.

Of course, this telegram for help needs to be sent to Tang Qiuli in his own name. As for other players, including MacArthur, they are not of enough weight. China's participation in the Luzon battlefield can really change the pattern of the Southwest Pacific battlefield, especially

With the Pacific Ocean being blocked by the Japanese navy, President Roosevelt was so excited about this wonderful idea that he could hardly help but send this telegram.

But he calmed down and considered carefully what price the United States would pay if he asked for help from Tang Qiuli. He reviewed all Tang Qiuli's military operations outside China and came to a conclusion:

When Tang Qiuli's troops join the battlefield on Luzon Island, they can certainly defeat the Japanese army and save MacArthur's hundreds of thousands of troops, but the final result is that the wolves will be driven out through the front door and the tigers will enter through the back door!

A clear trajectory can be drawn for all of China's military operations. Whether it was the previous Indochina Peninsula, the large-scale battle that swept across the Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force, or the subsequent Battle of Hong Kong, Tang Qiuli's troops basically

It was after the Japanese army captured the area that he sent troops. Tang Qiuli followed a route. The Japanese defeated the British. Then, Tang Qiuli defeated the Japanese again, and logically incorporated the areas occupied by the Japanese into his own.

Control scope.

Of course, there is also the East India region. However, in President Roosevelt's view, the United Kingdom brought the blame on itself. If Tang Qiuli asks for help and his troops enter the Southwest Pacific region and the United States' sphere of influence, after defeating Japan, will it be like dealing with it?

Is the UK going to take the Southwest Pacific as its own?

Judging from Roosevelt's political wisdom, the answer is yes. The ambitious and territorially obsessed Chinese will definitely do this, and will do so without hesitation. As a lesson to the British, President Roosevelt,

I broke into a cold sweat because of my childish and dangerous thoughts just now. My already weak body seemed unable to bear such intense thinking and worries, and it became increasingly uncomfortable.

When General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chief of Staff of the United States' Supreme Wartime Command, came to the President's Office, what he saw was His Excellency the President, with a sallow face covered in sweat!
