Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and a happy atmosphere filled the airport. It was only among the brothers that such unrestrained chatting and laughing could occur. The generals all knew that the division commander had always treated

I stay away from Western food and seafood, and what I love most is eating meat in large chunks.

Tang Qiusheng suppressed his laughter and replied: "Sir, after more than two months in Outer Mongolia, I still haven't eaten enough. However, in Singapore, there is no authentic hand-made meat. I asked Hou Zhi's cooking class to prepare a table

The taste of Northeastern food is not satisfactory, so let’s give it a try!”

In the afternoon, after resting for a while, Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiusheng, Li Honggang, Ma Chaoyang and other corps commanders and chiefs of staff, as well as the fleet commander Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, who came back from the special aircraft carrier fleet, came from Varanasi, East India.

Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the division's logistics chief, and others who rushed back, held a small but high-level military meeting in the conference room of the rear headquarters, focusing on listening to the generals' reports on the Australian war.

First, Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng, who presided over the overall work of the independent division's rear headquarters, spoke: "Division Commander, in the past two months, on the Australian battlefield, the Japanese Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force and the Allied Forces have been in a stalemate. However, the Allied Forces are in a stalemate.

On the defensive, in October, the Japanese army dispatched more than 400,000 troops, divided into three groups, and launched the autumn offensive, pushing the front to southern Australia."

"The Japanese army of about 120,000 people on the west route advanced to the east of the Victoria Desert and the northern foothills of the Musgrave Mountains. The Japanese army of about 130,000 people on the middle route advanced to a line west of the Barrier Mountains east of Lake Eyre. The east route

The Japanese army, numbering around 150,000, has targeted eastern Australia and has crossed the Australian Basin and entered the area north of the Barwon River. At present, the Japanese army has occupied more than two-thirds of the Australian continent."

"The Allied forces were compressed to the southeastern Australian plains, the Victoria Desert, and the area west of the Gibson Desert. They were divided into two parts. Their main force was building fortifications along the Barwang River. If the Barwang River defense line was lost, the main Allied force would

Forced to fight the Japanese army in the plains, the situation is worrying!"

Tang Qiuli interjected. "It seems that Allied Commander-in-Chief Fernandez is having a very difficult time. Brother Qiusheng, what are the casualties on both sides?"

Tang Qiusheng said a few words with emotion, "The battle was fierce. Blood and flesh were everywhere, and casualties were heavy. The sky was turned upside down. In several battles, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Allies realized that if they lost Australia, they would lose their territory.

The foothold in the South Pacific, and the more than one million Japanese troops freed up, will pounce there next. There are two directions, one is the Indochina Peninsula, and the other is the United States on the other side of the ocean. The feasibility of attacking the Indochina Peninsula

Not big."

"The Japanese currently do not have the strength or ability to compete with our three main corps with 700,000 to 800,000 troops. We are just waiting for work. We wish that the Japanese would come to attack. The only direction left is the United States. Therefore, facing

The resistance against the Japanese attack was very fierce, and it could be said that they refused to give up an inch of ground. Among them, the US military suffered the worst. The troops that had withdrawn from Luzon Island were almost exhausted."

"In several major battle directions, the Allied forces and the Japanese army fought repeatedly. Taking a battle from October 16th to 20th as an example, the number of Allied casualties in the five-day battle reached more than 120,000.

The Japanese suffered more than 40,000 casualties, but the initiative and rhythm of the battlefield were in the hands of Genzaburo Ito. The prospects for the war situation were not optimistic for the Allies!"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "The Japanese army will never stop until they occupy Australia. How long will the Australian battlefield have to fight before we see the outcome? According to my judgment, the results will not be seen in a short time, at least in the

There will be no results before the end of 1941. The Allied forces will be defeated on the Australian battlefield sooner or later. By the way, Brother Qiusheng, have the Japanese troops on Kalimantan and Sumatra done anything?"

Tang Qiusheng smiled contemptuously and replied: "You dare to take action? You are more honest than a rabbit. The Japanese are always on tenterhooks. Please beg their bullshit Amaterasu, let us not send troops to the Southwest Pacific battlefield. Therefore, the Japanese army and navy

The air force's patrol aircraft, even in the air patrols in the Malacca Strait and the southern part of the South China Sea, were frightened and automatically drew the air boundary line to the end of the area close to their occupation."

"According to the report of the Southern Flying Group's air patrol fleet, Japanese fighter jets, when performing air patrol missions, tried their best to avoid encounters with our patrol aircraft. Even if they encountered them, they would stay away and run faster than rabbits for fear of irritating them.

Us, hahaha!"

As Tang Qiusheng spoke, he couldn't help laughing loudly. The laughter was full of confidence and heroism. Not only himself, but also all the generals participating in the meeting laughed. The laughter echoed in the conference room, and the police outside were on guard.

The special guards secretly thought to themselves: "What's so happy about it? Making these big guys laugh?"

Tang Qiuli felt like spring breeze. It seemed that he was absolutely right to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. He let the Japanese and Allied forces fight to the death. He stationed three main field corps in the Indochina Peninsula. After the situation became clear, he would

Send troops to the Southwest Pacific battlefield. By then, the Allied troops on the Australian battlefield will definitely be killed by the Japanese army, and the Japanese will also lose too much blood and become weak. They will take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Roosevelt was a wily politician. Even though the Allied forces were badly beaten in the Australian battlefield, he gritted his teeth and endured it, but he never asked him to send troops to the Australian battlefield. His calculations were really too clever. It seems that Roosevelt made a miscalculation and walked away.

He probably didn't expect that the Japanese attack would be a bad move.

The situation is so fierce that the sea and air traffic in the United States and Australia are blocked by Yamamoto Isoroku's combined fleet. No matter how wealthy the Americans are, they are still anxious and helpless, without the main artery for blood transfusion.

Australia, hanging alone in the southwest Pacific, cannot hold on for long!

As far as the significance of the Australian War itself is concerned, from Tang Qiuli's perspective, he never wants it to end too early or end with a complete victory for one side, whether it is the Allies or the Japanese. In a word, it does not meet Tang Qiuli's views.

Interests, the best outcome of the Australian war, should be that the Allies and Japan, regardless of their human, material and financial resources, must continue to consume them until the two behemoths are anemic and until the time is suitable for them to take action.

The rhythm of this war can be controlled by oneself. The secret is that the logistical supply lines that the Allied forces rely on for survival, and the maritime routes from West India to the Australian continent, all rely on the independent division's aircraft carrier task force to protect them.

Convoy, to put it figuratively, is the blood vessel of the Allied Forces. It is in your own hands. Since the Americans and British are in a tight situation right now, you might as well give them some tonic.

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Brother Qiu Sheng, I didn't expect that you, sitting in Indochina, know the war situation on the Australian mainland very well!"

Tang Qiusheng shook his head and replied: "This is all the credit of the Intelligence Department. Before Yu Deshui went to Outer Mongolia, he handed over the intelligence network of the Intelligence Department in Indochina and the Southwest Pacific to me. This can be regarded as a good thing.

It’s time to go back to my roots, don’t forget, when I was in the Northeast, I was the founder of the Blood Hand Regiment’s intelligence system!”

This is true. The originator of the independent division's intelligence system is Tang Qiusheng. When he was in the Northeast, he served as the deputy commander of the Blood Hand Regiment and the director of the intelligence center, including the now famous Director of the Intelligence Division Yu Deshui, and Director of the Investigation Division Shen Jun.

, as well as a large number of high-level and middle-level cadres of the two departments, all came from Tang Qiusheng's disciples.

Tang Qiuli turned around and asked: "Brother Qiuquan, how is the situation of your escort fleet? Hasn't the Japanese Navy tried to cut off this maritime supply line?"

Tang Qiuquan was wearing a straight navy lieutenant general's uniform, probably because he had been floating at sea all year round. His face was dark and rosy, and his body was stronger than when he was the leader of the special warfare detachment. When the division commander asked him, he answered in his usual concise and concise manner.

style said.

"Division Commander, the situation of the escort fleet is not that complicated. In the early days of escorting the Allied logistics supply lines, there were several small-scale naval battles with the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet in the East Indian Ocean near the west of Sumatra Island.

There were winners and losers, and after the establishment of the Eastern Indian Ocean Cruise Area of ​​the Southern Flying Group, Chagos Island played an extremely important role as a land and sea base."

"Wu Zhenjiang's mixed fleet of fighters and bombers taught the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet two harsh lessons. Since then, the Japanese Navy has never shown up again. Now, the routes are unimpeded, providing logistical supplies to the Allied forces and

There are three main ports of call in Australia for the transportation of troops, one is the Port of Perth located in Geograffi Bay, Western Australia, and the other is the Port of Melbourne located in Bass Strait, southeastern Australia."

"There is also Port Adelaide located in Spanga Bay. However, judging from the situation provided by Brother Qiu Sheng just now, the purpose of the Japanese army's autumn offensive this time should be to seize these three areas that are related to the life and death of the Allied forces.

Ports included, if the war situation continues as it is, the escort mission of the aircraft carrier task force will probably end before the end of this year, but that’s fine, dealing with the British and Americans will be really unpleasant!”

As he spoke, Tang Qiuquan shook his head again and again. It seemed that dealing with the Americans and British was more tiring than fighting a large sea battle. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but smile. Hearing Brother Qiuquan's wishes, he was really a little reluctant to accept this task.

, especially the British, are fighting fiercely with the Independent Division troops in northern Myanmar. Now, it is really unpleasant to escort their logistics supply lines!

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Brother Qiuquan, the money you earn from the British and Americans is real money. Just bear with it. Besides, we can't let the Allied forces be killed by the Japanese so quickly."

, a good person will do his best to help others!"
