Age of Conquest Reborn

There was already a slight coldness in Tang Qiuli's tone. Although he appreciated Le Yiqin's fighting spirit, he was also worried that he would ignore the existing dangers in order to have a chance to fight, which would lead to unbearable consequences for the troops.

of maximum casualties.

Whether it can successfully cover 100,000 British and Australian soldiers and return to Australia is of course important. However, if it succeeds, it will not affect the overall situation. At most, it will just adjust the strategic direction again. However, if the troops suffer heavy casualties, this is

Tang Qiuli would never allow this, especially for the aviation unit.

Le Yiqin could also hear the coldness in the teacher's words. She couldn't help but shrink her neck, put away her careless and even arrogant attitude, and said politely: "Sir, the issues you are worried about are also included in my plan.

, and have the following solutions!”

Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe looked at each other and uttered the word "Speak!"

Le Yiqin tried his best to restrain his momentum and said: "Division commander, chief of staff, my plan is to gather all the fighters and bombers of our Southern Flying Group, use the Singapore Field Airport as the assembly departure point, and divide them into four batches to take off.

In this way, the capacity problem of the airport can be solved. The first batch to take off will all be fighter jets. The task of the formation is to attract the Japanese army to dispatch fighter jets to intercept."

"The only mission is to smash the interception of Japanese fighter jets and strive to shoot down all or most of them. The following three formations are the main force of the battle. Along the channel opened by the first formation fighter group, they can not be blocked.

After reaching the combat airspace, and the pilots of the first formation's fighter group are definitely experts in one-on-two combat, it is not difficult to complete this task."

Speaking of this, Le Yiqin suddenly showed a troubled expression and continued: "But Commander, there is an issue that cannot be avoided. The Southern Flying Group is fully mobilized. The air defense of the Indochina Peninsula and even Hainan Island will be an empty city. What if?

The little Japanese plane took the opportunity to make a sneak attack, and I, Le Yiqin, will be guilty of a big crime!"

"Another point is how to identify and confirm the identities of the ships transporting British and Australian soldiers and the escorting British ships. We have no experience in cooperating with the British. Don't let the British get involved when the time comes.

Treat this guy’s warship as a little devil’s warship

Fighting, that would be a disservice, division commander, you don’t know, at an altitude of several thousand meters, you can see the warships on the sea, they all look the same, if you really hit the British warships, it’s a kid’s joke, it will be embarrassing and embarrassing

If you don’t tell me, when you come back, Master, you are not allowed to skin me!"

Le Yiqin felt a little aggrieved by this last sentence. Tang Qiuli held back his laughter and asked, "Is there anything more?"

Le Yiqin rolled his eyes a few times and said cautiously: "My battle plan is basically like this. As long as these two problems can be solved, the plan will have no loopholes. I have also considered other plans, but

Without this, it’s impossible to have a surname of Gao!”

Tang Qiuli said: "Well, I will solve these two problems for you. I said that the fleet's carrier-based aircraft group will contain the Japanese land bases on Sumatra and Kalimantan for your operation.

The aviation force, at the same time, is responsible for air security from the Indochina Peninsula to Hainan Island, relieving your worries!"

"As for the problem of identifying British warships and ships that you are worried about, I will also solve it for you. Director Chen and Director Ge, come over here!" Tang Qiuli waved to Jean, who stood at the door and listened to Le Yi

Chen Feng and Ge Zhenzhuang came in while Qin was gushing.

Tang Qiuli said: "Director Chen, immediately activate the radio and inform the British-Australian Army Commander-in-Chief Fernandez of my decision to send a large number of fighter planes to cover the return of the British-Australian Army to Australia!"

After a pause, Tang Qiuli's tone seemed to be a little emotional, and he said: "Speaking of which, this Fernandez and I have a relationship. We had dealings with each other at the alliance [***] meeting held in Manila last year.

However, at that time, the Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in Australia believed that the war was far away from him and had no interest in participating in the war. However, the radio call signs and passwords for mutual communication were left. Today is the first time that they are used, even for the British.

What a surprise!”

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe said in surprise: "Division Commander, don't we report it directly to MacArthur? After all, he is the top commander of the American and British troops. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said: "There is nothing inappropriate. I deliberately snubbed MacArthur and asked him to come to me. Don't forget that based on the current situation on the Luzon battlefield, MacArthur has also made preparations to evacuate to Australia.

In our plan, the British will take the first step, and then the Americans will follow!"

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and said: "Commander, I understand. The British and Australian troops can successfully withdraw to Australia without the escort of our fleet. The same is true when it comes to MacArthur. If we don't take action, this Yankee will never dare to do it without us."

Under the escort of the fleet and aircraft, he crossed the sea and retreated. If he really takes it hard, he will be putting himself and the retreating US and Philippine troops into the mouth of the Japanese army. At that time, he will have to take the initiative to beg us to take action!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said to Le Yiqin: "According to the speed of the British-Australian troop transport fleet, they will reach the Coral Sea at noon tomorrow. The time left for you is less than twenty hours. Immediately follow your own

Let’s implement the plan!”

Le Yiqin's eyes shone brightly. After saluting, he walked away majestic and murderous. Looking at Le Yiqin's disappearing back, Zhao Yuhe said with concern: "Sir, this battle went well and there is no suspense. However,

What I'm worried about is that if the Southern Flying Group fights against the Japanese Air Force, which outnumbers itself, even if it wins, there will be greater casualties!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Yuhe, you are worrying too much. According to the current situation in the Southwest Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army tries its best to avoid conflicts with us. Therefore, Ito Yanzaburo does not dare to devote all the aviation fleet to it."

In the battle against our fleet, numerical superiority is out of the question, but the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy fleet will definitely fight with all their strength, they are indeed a formidable enemy."

Zhao Yuhe didn't understand. Tang Qiuli explained: "The British and Australian troops were able to successfully evacuate Luzon Island. It was obviously Ito's intention to release water. Looking at the positions of the Japanese Navy's Second and Fourth Fleets, it is not difficult to see that

, the mission of annihilating the British and Australian troops at sea should

It fell on the Japanese Navy, or in other words, it was a gift from Ito to the Japanese Navy. Considering the fact that the Japanese Army and Navy have always been at odds, it should be a forced cession of interests. Admiral Ito's mood at this moment,

I’m afraid it’s a mixed bag!”

Zhao Yuhe suddenly realized that Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group was attacking the Coral Sea. It seemed that it was surrounded by powerful enemies. In fact, after various factors canceled each other out, they were facing carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy.

Then what are you worried about? The teacher has already considered this!

General Ito Yanzaburo's mood at this time was not as mixed as Tang Qiuli had judged. The 280,000-strong army attacked Australia and was defeated in less than six hours with only minimal casualties.

The resistance of the British and Australian troops at various landing sites resulted in the victory of annihilating more than 20,000 people, and they successfully landed on the Australian continent. The war progressed smoothly, exceeding General Ito's expectations.

After all the Japanese troops landed, they divided into more than a dozen groups and advanced deep into the Australian mainland. On the one hand, they chased the remnants of the retreating British and Australian troops, and on the other hand, they were busy occupying various towns. The news of success came like a flake, and they flew to Ito's general headquarters. At this time,

The Japanese offensive can be described as overwhelming. If it continues at this speed, General Ito will judge that within three months, the vast and resource-rich Australian continent will all fall into his hands.

When every inch of land in the Australian continent is planted with the sun flag, the glorious myth of the Japanese Empire conquering a continent will be born in his own hands, and he will become a well-deserved famous general of the Japanese Empire. Therefore, at this time

General Ito's mood was exciting, expectant, and smug.

On the contrary, General Fernandez, the commander-in-chief of the British-Australian Army, is extremely anxious and anxious at the moment. The Australian continent, embedded in the vast Pacific Ocean, has never experienced a large-scale war, and is like a baby sleeping in the vast waves.

An Yi, for the sake of neither the indigenous people nor the later British, would think that wars on other continents would affect them.

But all this comfort and tranquility were ruthlessly broken in the early morning of August 25th. Nearly three hundred thousand Japanese soldiers attacked fiercely like a tide. In the sky, there were Japanese bombers, flying to their heart's content.

Drop this bomb on the sea

, the large-caliber naval guns on the Japanese warships poured huge metal projectiles onto the positions of the British and Australian troops. God knows, the garrison strength of the British and Australian troops at each port was less than one division. As for the hastily built fortifications,

It's almost papery.

Under the hail of Japanese warships and the rain of shells, the British, the later masters of the Australian continent, and the descendants of the British Empire, were left with blood and flesh. They had already led the remaining 40,000 troops to withdraw to Fernandez, deep in the continent.

The general was thankful that the only right thing he did was to order the British and Australian soldiers in various ports to abandon their current positions and move inland.

The nightmare six hours left more than 20,000 corpses of British and Australian soldiers at various landing sites of the Japanese army. Fernandez absolutely believed that if his order to retreat had been given an hour late, the 60,000 troops might not have been left.

Less than halfway down, he and the remaining soldiers were temporarily out of danger.

But General Fernandez knew very well that with the few troops he had, if he wanted to fight against nearly 300,000 Japanese troops, he would be throwing an egg against a stone. I am afraid that it would not even be enough for the Japanese to survive.

The bad news of the attack was reported to Prime Minister Churchill, who was also worried. He ordered 100,000 troops to reinforce Luzon Island and immediately return reinforcements. With 100,000 troops, it could at least last for a while.

However, a bigger problem has arisen. How can one hundred thousand troops safely return to the Australian mainland, with the vast sea between them!
