Age of Conquest Reborn

(.)

Seeing that Zhao Yuhe was about to leave, Mr. Huang was not very happy and said hurriedly: "General Zhao, by having a simple meal in the cold house, I have done my best as a landlord. How can the general refuse? Isn't he afraid of what General Tang said?

Just kidding about bribery!" The old gentleman's last words were somewhat irritating, and one could see his shrewdness.

Zhao Yuhe looked at Tang Qiuli in embarrassment. He did have a lot of things to deal with. The Battle of Singapore had just ended, and he had to arrange troop security, maintain public security in the city, and other matters. There were so many things that he had to deal with.

The chief of staff went to sort it out. With such time and mood, he was eating and drinking here.

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Old sir, please don't try to keep me here anymore. I, the chief of staff, have a lot of things to deal with. Even if he stays here, his heart will already be gone.

In the face of fine wine and delicacies, wouldn't it be that he doesn't want to eat to his taste and is suspected of wasting things? Let him go!"

Mr. Huang gave up regretfully, and Zhao Yuhe left together with Ge Zhenzhuang and Chen Feng. After a while, the table was filled with local dishes. Tang Qiuli was not polite and tasted each dish one by one. Of course,

During the dinner, the guests and hosts frequently raised their glasses, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. The Chinese businessmen also relaxed their minds and rushed to clink glasses with Tang Qiuli and talk about their views on the future of Singapore's city government.

Tang Qiuli also gave a more detailed explanation on this matter. He also made a special point that the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the preparation and establishment of other government departments. Only the urban security organs have to transfer their main members from other regions.

And held a leadership position. Regarding this, his view was that China had just come to power, and lest those who were riding on China's head were dissatisfied and made trouble secretly or openly, then strong suppression was needed.

And these, don't count on the police team formed by the local people. They don't secretly communicate with each other and add fuel to the flames. Even if they have conscience, Mr. Huang and the Chinese businessmen naturally strongly agree with Tang Qiuli's proposal. In fact, they are also worried.

, I am afraid that local people will cause trouble, and I have no experience in city management before. Furthermore, I am not used to being a businessman who has always looked down upon me and suddenly rose to a high position.

Tang Qiuli also saw that after the initial excitement passed, Mr. Huang and the Chinese businessmen realized the real problems. In this regard, Tang Qiuli gave a solution that Singapore should implement military control.

Within a short period of time, the Military Control Commission will perform the functions of the city government, and then gradually transfer power after the situation stabilizes. Tang Qiuli's plan solved the biggest worry of Mr. Huang and the Chinese businessmen.

Next, everyone let go of their worries, and everyone's mood also rose. They changed glasses and changed glasses. Tang Qiuli naturally became the protagonist of the banquet. He drank to his heart's content. Xiao Tang Qiuli drank a lot, and he drank as much as

Floating in the clouds and mist.

Coming out of Huang's Mansion, Fu Qiang saw that his commander had drunk too much wine, and couldn't help complaining, "Look at you, you drank so much. If Captain Huang knew that I didn't dissuade you, I would be waiting for you."

Let’s train him! But besides Captain Huang, who can persuade you!”

Tang Qiuli's feet felt a little erratic. He heard that he said: "Fu Qiang, I'm telling you, don't tell Shan Hu what happened today!" Before he could finish his words, Fu Qiang couldn't open his eyes.

Seeing this, he hurriedly helped him into the car and drove back to the new office in a hurry. Tang Qiuli didn't even see what the surrounding environment looked like. He was so drunk that he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already dusk. He shook his dizzy head and thought to himself: "I haven't drank like this in a few years. It seems that my alcohol capacity has been greatly reduced. With that level of alcohol, it stands to reason that

, if you drink these, there won’t be any big problems. When I was in the Northeast, what I drank was pure grain braised food with a temperature of more than 60 degrees!"

After walking out of the bedroom, he saw the members of the division headquarters, all busy with their own affairs. When Zhao Yuhe saw that he had woken up, he first poured him a glass of water, and then said: "Division Commander, the results of the Singapore Battle have been calculated.

In more than five hours of fighting, a total of more than 12,000 Japanese troops from the Yokoyama Brigade were annihilated. From the brigade commander, Major General Yokoyama Kingoro, down, no one escaped. It was an extremely beautiful battle of annihilation."

"Among them, in the outer positions of Singapore, more than 3,000 Japanese troops were annihilated. In the Strait of Malacca, the fleet annihilated more than 8,000 Japanese troops and sank more than 30 Japanese troop transports. In addition, the fleet gunboat detachment also attacked Japanese troops on Sumatra Island.

The Fifth Army's shore-based artillery position conducted an attack, with unknown results."

Tang Qiuli nodded. Indeed, in terms of the results and the progress of the battle, it surpassed the Battle of Hong Kong. There are many reasons. The most important thing is that troops with experience in urban combat were used. He asked: "

What are our casualties?"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up and he replied: "Division Commander, our casualties are extremely light. We suffered more than 430 casualties in total, of which more than 100 were killed. Not a single tank in the tank brigade was destroyed. Mainly

The casualties occurred in the first brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps. They suffered heavy casualties in the process of clearing out Japanese skirmishers! In comparison, the casualties of the three main attacking brigades were very few!"

Tang Qiuli said with emotion: "The difficulty in urban combat lies in street fighting. If the Japanese army in Singapore had not abandoned the city and retreated, our casualties would have been several times more than what we are now, and there would have been no subsequent annihilation war."

Okay, Yuhe, how are the losses of the fleet formation?"

Zhao Yuhe replied even more energetically: "No one was lost, not even the sailors were injured. According to the report of the fleet's Chief of Staff Xin, the ship formation was covered by intensive artillery fire at the beginning of the battle. The Japanese troop transport fleet

, we have no power to fight back at all, our naval combat rocket launcher shows off its great power, and before withdrawing from the battlefield, it gives the Japanese army's shore-based artillery a hard blow!"

Tang Qiuli said: "Small boats can also fight big battles. It seems that Brother Qiuquan's formation of a gunboat detachment was a very far-sighted move. By the way, Yuhe and Le Yiqin's aircraft fleet, have they suffered any losses? They have not fought with the ri

There should be no losses in the battle between the military aircraft groups!"

Zhao Yuhe burst into laughter, and Tang Qiuli asked strangely: "Yuhe, why are you laughing?"

Zhao Yuhe was obviously overjoyed and said: "Commander, just because I didn't win the battle, I just returned to the headquarters when I received a call from Commander Le. Good guy, after this complaint, I severely sued the fleet Xin.

Chief of Staff Xin Yizhuang said that Chief Xin was living alone and sent hundreds of fighter jets and bombers to travel all the way from the Myitkyina base in vain, and he still wanted to file a complaint with you!"

"You also said that you are partial. He has no objection to the Southern Flying Group being assigned to the fleet command. But if it does not give it combat missions, then it is the fault of the fleet. If the aviation force is allowed to launch the first attack on the fleet of the Hengshan Brigade crossing the sea,

With the wave of attacks, the battle will end faster, and maybe even the Japanese army’s deep positions on Sumatra Island will be hit by bombs!”

In fact, Zhao Yuhe had already said it very tactfully. Le Yiqin's attitude on the phone was not like this. He was simply quarreling with Yao, as if he was the most unjust person under Yao, clamoring to come to Singapore and face him in person.

The division commander made suggestions and reported the matter to the fleet.

Le Yiqin was understandably angry. When the battle took place, he led a mixed fleet of more than 400 fighters and bombers in a circle over the Strait of Malacca for more than an hour, but did not see a single one.

The shadow of the Japanese fighter jets and the bomber formation that bombed the Japanese troop transport fleet at low altitude did not drop a few bombs. The civilian ship that was on fire but did not sink was blown to pieces by a torpedo from the fleet torpedo boat detachment.

!

Le Yiqin held back her anger and led the team back. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. That's when Zhao Yuhe answered the call.

Tang Qiuli was also happy and asked: "Yu He, how did you reply to him?"

Zhao Yuhe said: "I told you that the division commander is discussing the formation of the Singapore Municipal Government with the relevant officials. How about I take your phone number to the division commander?"

Tang Qiuli was very interested and asked: "How did Le Yiqin answer?"

Zhao Yuhe smiled again and said: "Commander Le said, let's forget it. I won't go and be punished. Chief of Staff, it's bad luck for me. Next time, I'll just be more thoughtful, and then,

The phone has hung up."

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "As for Le Yiqin, it's not that he doesn't know that the purpose of dispatching the aircraft group is to prevent the Japanese aircraft group from air raiding the gunboat formation, not as an attack force, Yu He, from this we can also see

It turns out that under the current circumstances, the Japanese army is absolutely unwilling to have friction with us. In Singapore and the Strait of Malacca, it annihilated the Hengshan Brigade, including the gunboat detachment shelling the Japanese army's shore-based artillery. The Japanese army did not respond appropriately.

."

"The top brass of the Japanese army will not take any action against us until the US military on Luzon Island is dealt with. What the Japanese are most worried about is that we will send troops to the Southwest Pacific battlefield and force them to fight on two fronts. However, we

The action of capturing Singapore will prompt the Japanese army to take new actions on Luzon Island. This is fine, breaking the battlefield deadlock on Luzon Island will be beneficial to us, but for MacArthur, it will be a bitter life!

"

The situation on the battlefield in Luzon Island was just as Tang Qiuli expected. On August 10, General Ito Yanzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, followed the orders of the base camp and ordered the 14th Army Chun Tian Yoshihiko.

The four main divisions of the Ministry, plus the two divisions transferred from Singapore, and the two brigades, with a total of more than 140,000 troops, under the cover of a large number of aircraft, attacked the White Army of the U.S. Third Army in the Calais Mountains.

Major General Mann's defense line launches a full-scale attack!

This is the largest offensive action taken by the Japanese army on Luzon Island since the outbreak of the Pacific War. General Ito divided all his forces into five offensive directions. According to his plan, he was to attack the Calais Mountains in the Calais Mountains.

The U.S. Third Army was divided, surrounded, and then completely wiped out. The Luzon battlefield, which had been silent for more than two months, was suddenly filled with smoke!
