Age of Conquest Reborn

After putting down the phone, the special guards hurriedly went out to prepare the car. Tang Qiuli returned to the bedroom. Mei Xue had woken up and was sitting on the bed with her clothes on. When she saw Tang Qiuli coming in, she looked at him searchingly with her big black and white eyes.

.

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "If there is an emergency, I will rush to the headquarters immediately. Xue, you can continue to sleep!"

Mei Xue hurriedly got out of bed, brought him the military uniform, and said distressedly: "Qiu Li, please take care of yourself!" while carefully buttoning the military uniform for him.

With the beauty beside her, her arms full of fragrance, Tang Qiuli stroked Mei Xue's black hair and said with a smile: "Xue, don't you know how great my body is? Don't worry!"

Mei Xue blushed with embarrassment and said angrily: "Don't be shy, go quickly, don't let people wait for you!" The pajamas opened wide, revealing a pair of round and plump breasts, which made Tang Qiuli feel hot and fierce.

He stretched out his hand, kneaded it twice quickly, then brought his hand to his nose and took a deep breath, exclaiming: "It smells so good!"

Mei Xue's face was as bright as a peach blossom, and she was so angry that she raised her hands to fight. Tang Qiuli had already run away from the door with a chuckle. Mei Xue was lost in thought for a while, and then returned to bed, but she was no longer sleepy, thinking of the madness last night.

, couldn't help but smile sweetly.

When Tang Qiuli rushed to the headquarters under the protection of Fu Qiang and a small team of special guards, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Director of the General Staff Department Ge Zhenzhuang, and a dozen staff officers were already waiting for him in the war room.

Above, a large map of Australia hangs.

Tang Qiuli entered the war room and asked Zhao Yuhe as his first sentence, "Yuhe, does the Intelligence Department have the latest information on the war situation in Australia?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Report to the division commander, because the Australian battlefield is now in chaos, the Intelligence Division has ordered intelligence stations across Australia to actively collect intelligence. A copy just came. The situation of the British is not good.

It has only been more than an hour since the war started, and the Japanese troops have already successfully landed at two landing sites and are moving forward to attack in depth!"

Tang Qiuli said nonchalantly: "As expected, the regular British-Australian troops left to guard the landing in Australia only numbered more than 60,000. They had to defend so many ports. If divided, each location did not even have the strength of a division.

, the Japanese army took them by surprise and concentrated their forces, it is surprising that the British and Australian troops can hold on!"

Zhao Yuhe's face tightened and he said hurriedly: "Commander, if the war situation develops at this speed, in a few days, more than 60,000 British and Australian troops will be eaten by the Japanese army at various ports. This is not in line with your latest situation.

strategic idea, what should we do!”

Tang Qiuli looked away from the map of Australia, looked at Zhao Yuhe, and asked: "Yuhe, what do you think?"

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and said: "Division commander, I am thinking that if the British-Australian commander-in-chief Fernandez is not so stupid, what he should do now is to withdraw the troops from the first-line ports and move inland to avoid the Japanese army.

The sharp edge, taking advantage of the vastness of Australia

area, deal with the Japanese army, and then urgently call back the 100,000 troops to reinforce Luzon Island. In this way, the British can still hold on for a while. If they fight against the Japanese army at various landing sites, it will not take more than five days. In Fernandez's hands

, there will be no available soldiers!”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Yuhe, what you said is on point. I judge that the 100,000 British and Australian troops who are reinforcements on Luzon Island are already preparing to return to Australia at this time. Not only the British are doing this, I'm afraid

Even MacArthur has

Having already begun to think about quitting, the Japanese took a step back and completely shattered MacArthur's dream of holding on to Manila. If he didn't run away, once Australia fell into the hands of the Japanese, more than 200,000 U.S. and Philippine troops would become a turtle in the urn!

"

Zhao Yuhe said thoughtfully: "Commander, considering the situation on the Luzon Island battlefield in front of us, it is not easy for either the British-Australian Army or the US-Philippine Army to escape from Luzon Island. Now, about

There are 300,000 Allied troops concentrated on the front line of the Calais Mountains to implement MacArthur's counterattack plan. Now it seems that this is another conspiracy of the Japanese Fourteenth Army Commander Haruta Yoshihiko, which firmly entangles the Allied forces in

Luzon Island, so that it cannot return to aid Australia!"

"Furthermore, once the 100,000 British and Australian troops withdraw, the U.S. and Philippine troops alone will not be able to stop the Japanese counterattack. The next thing to be lost will be Manila!"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "The Japanese troops led by Yoshihiko Haruta will definitely hold on to the Allies. With so many troops retreating, it might be an uncontrollable rout. Analyze MacArthur's command of the battle.

Due to customs and the crisis situation in Australia, the only way the Allied forces can withdraw is to first send 100,000 British and Australian troops back to assist Australia, and then the U.S. and Philippine troops rely on the Manila Defense Line to gradually withdraw in batches."

"There is also a serious issue involved here. Whether the Allied troops covering the evacuation can withstand the Japanese attack, it seems that it only depends on God's will! However, even if MacArthur successfully evacuates Luzon Island, he will still have to pay an extremely high cost.

A heavy price!"

Zhao Yuhe shook his head and sighed and said: "MacArthur's plan to defend Manila has led to today's passive situation. This person's military strategy and strategic vision are really hard to compliment. It is not surprising that the US-Philippine army suffered such a defeat.

, It’s a pity that it also affected the British in Australia. Alas! MacArthur may wish himself well! Commander, are we just watching this situation happen and are helpless?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and continued: "Yuhe, how the Allied forces evacuate Luzon Island is not the most difficult thing. After all, the total strength is more than twice that of the Japanese army. The Japanese have the most ferocious trick.

Behind the scenes, the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Japanese Navy have recently appeared in the waters around the Coral Sea and Solomon Islands. Of course, they are to cover the Japanese attack on Australia. This is necessary fire support for the landing battle."

"According to my judgment, its real purpose is not just that, it is to intercept and kill the British and Australian naval fleets returning to Australia at sea. However, the British task force stationed in Australia has not suffered a devastating blow.

At this point, the Japanese Navy does not want to alert the enemy, so the 100,000 British and Australian soldiers can leave Luzon Island smoothly. However, in the waters around the Coral Sea and Solomon Islands, they will be fiercely attacked by the two fleets of the Japanese Navy.

!”

Zhao Yuhe was horrified when he heard this, and he let out a low voice and said: "The Japanese army was deployed in many places just for the decisive blow at sea. They were so ruthless that they not only wiped out the 100,000 British and Australian troops returning for reinforcements in one battle, but also killed them along with them.

I completely understand the British task force. No wonder the British and Australian troops were not intercepted by the Japanese navy at sea when they were reinforcing Luzon Island. They successfully landed on Luzon Island. This series of layouts are closely linked.

, there are experts in the Japanese army!"

After saying that, Zhao Yuhe seemed to realize that he had lost his composure to some extent, and added: "However, it depends on who is right, that is, MacArthur, a self-righteous guy, has been fooled one after another. If the layout is aimed at you, division commander, the Japanese will lose money."

He defeated his wife and defeated his troops!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe with a playful look and said: "Yuhe, you have learned to flatter yourself. We cannot let the Allies be at an absolute disadvantage, let alone let the Australian war situation end soon. Again, the same sentence

, it is not in our interests. The danger of the Allied forces returning to support Australia is at sea. You call Le Yiqin and ask him to rush to Singapore immediately. There is an important task for him!"

Zhao Yuhe called, and Tang Qiuli said to Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the General Staff Office: "Zhengzhuang, the General Staff Office will immediately make a sand table of Australia's terrain, and the General Staff Office's attention must be focused on the Australian battlefield.

The final battle in the Southwest Pacific will definitely be exciting!"

On the morning of August 25, in accordance with MacArthur's order, the 100,000-strong British-Australian First and Second Corps began to evacuate the battlefield in the Calais Mountains. Although MacArthur was not authentic, he still had experience in leading troops for many years.

We clearly know that the retreat of 100,000 troops is chaotic, especially on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting. The firing line is withdrawn and the Japanese army is rushing to attack Australia. If one mistake is not made, it will lead to a rout.

After receiving the telegram from General Fernandez, MacArthur never closed his eyes. He and Chief of Staff Wagner had many discussions on the phone, or it could be said that they had many quarrels, and finally convinced the ignorant British guy to take

In a cruel but absolutely necessary measure, news of the Japanese invasion of Australia was tightly blocked from all Allied troops.

Especially for the two British-Australian Army Corps that were about to return to support Australia, only the Corps Commander and the Corps Chief of Staff knew the news. After the withdrawal of 100,000 British-Australian Army soldiers, the huge gap left in the defense line in the Calais Mountains was

MacArthur could only use his own troops to block it.

At this point, he did not bargain with Chief of Staff Wagner at all. He also knew that even if he talked a lot and made wild claims, the British would not be able to leave a single soldier in Luzon. In other words, they wanted to

I can't keep it, so I'd better be more generous and it would make things better for both parties.

However, for the US-Philippine troops remaining in the Calais Mountains, MacArthur made tactical adjustments, including the First Philippine Army, the Third Army, the Third Manila Guard Division, the Quezon Guard Brigade, etc., with Filipino soldiers as the main body.

The troops were transferred to the first line, while the troops composed solely of American soldiers were withdrawn to the second line. The orders given to the troops on the two lines of defense were completely different.

The order given to the commander of the Philippine forces is, "All troops on the first line of defense must stand firm and not take a step back to resolutely repel the Japanese attack! If you retreat without authorization without receiving my personal order,

, will be severely punished by military law."

The order given to the commander of the US military forces on the second line of defense was, "All troops shall be prepared to evacuate the battlefield in the Calais Mountains, return to Manila, and wait for orders to board ships and evacuate Luzon Island."
