"It's really tiring to discuss things with these old men, and I will definitely not come next time I am killed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "When Zhuo Fei stepped off the plane, it was still bright in the sky, but when he walked out of the South Shore Villa, it was already full of stars. Zhuo Fei tried his best to persuade Chiang, Mao, and Zhou to concentrate on the war against Japan first, but he didn't want Chiang Kai-shek to summon all the high-level people to the South Bank Villa, so Zhuo Fei had to repeat what he had said before, and then discussed and argued with the high-level officials.

Fortunately, Zhuo Fei's efforts were not in vain, and after Zhuo Fei's patient explanations and explanations, the high-level leaders finally realized the danger of sending troops to aid the Soviet Union at this time. "Well done, my friend, let the vile Slavs fight the Germans to the last drop of blood, and we should set our sights on the Mediterranean." Sir James, who came to Chongqing from India after hearing the news, hurried and happened to bump into Zhuo Fei at the gate of the hotel.

The last time I met Sir James was 2 months ago, when Sir James was ashen and decadent, relying on Zhuo Fei to support a large number of supplies for the British army in Africa and hundreds of thousands of South Asian servants, now Sir James is quite high-spirited. Sir James suddenly came to Chongqing from India, Zhuo Fei knew what the idea of this thing was, so without waiting for Sir James to explain his intentions, Zhuo Fei preemptively said, "Mr. Sir, you came just in time, my side is about to launch an attack on Japan's Honshu Island, do you want to lend me your flying unit again?" “”

Sir James would suddenly come to Chongqing from India, in order to divert Zhuo Fei's attention to the North African battlefield, even if he could not get the full support of the umbrella this time, he would persuade the Chinese government to send troops to North Africa through Zhuo Fei to help in the war. "What? You're going to attack Japan's Honshu Island? Sir James, who was preempted by Zhuo Fei, subconsciously shouted in a low voice, although the umbrella has controlled Kyushu Island, but Honshu Island is the center of Japan, and the degree of defense is by no means comparable to Kyushu Island.

"Yes, Mr. Sir, we're attacking Honshu." Zhuo Fei smiled at the other party without any pressure. "Only by taking Honshu Island can the Japanese government have the possibility of surrendering, otherwise we can only continue to waste time with them. Leaving an extremely threatening enemy on our side is fundamentally not in the interests of our umbrella. The Chinese government has already sent troops to attack Taiwan, and General MacArthur's troops are fighting on Okinawa, so I don't want to watch it slip away as such a good opportunity to attack Honshu. ”

Zhuo Fei said that he was indeed going to attack Japan's Honshu Island, so that Sir James, who had come to Chongqing with expectations, was suddenly a little confused, and he suddenly did not know how to say his intention and purpose. At this time, Zhuo Fei, who was smiling secretly in his heart, took out a cigarette and handed it to Sir James, and then said with a smile, "Mr. Sir, I know that you have focused your main energy on the North African battlefield, but what I want to explain to you is that before we take the island of Honshu, our umbrella has no way to draw troops to help you." ”

In order to make his reasons sound more reasonable, Zhuo Fei took out a piece of information and handed it to Sir James, "Sir, this is some information about the Swinging Army under our umbrella, after reading it, you will know why I must attack Japan's Honshu Island." Although the Dangkou Army is a mercenary force, the vast majority of the Dangkou Army are regular officers and soldiers who were originally subordinate to the Nationalist Government, and they all have a deep blood feud with the Japanese army. If I ask them to give up attacking Honshu now, I think there's a good chance they'll choose to break away from the Bandus. ”

"Mr. Sir, in order to form this troop of bandits, we have spent a lot of energy, money and materials on our umbrella. If the Dangkou Army chooses to break away from the umbrella at this time, not only will all the energy, money and materials that our umbrella spent before be in vain, but it will also affect the future development of our umbrella. Zhuo Fei's explanation was so well-founded that Sir James couldn't say anything more.

"This old thing, if you don't say it to death, I'm afraid this thing won't die at all." Seeing Sir James walk out of his room with a pensive face, a smile immediately appeared on Zhuo Fei's face. Zhuo Fei had a good night's sleep, but Sir James tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, and went to the Ministry of Military Affairs with a team of dark circles early the next morning, but Zhuo Fei swaggered to the airport to prepare for Hangzhou Bay.

The temporary fleet commanded by McHausen has been helping in the war off the coast of Taiwan, and Zhuo Fei came to Hangzhou Bay to protect the newly formed Second Fleet, but the scale of this Second Fleet does not look very good. The temporary fleet commanded by McHausen consisted of 11 large and small warships, six aircraft and aviation converted from large ocean-going freighters, and auxiliary ships such as large transport landing ships and torpedo boats, and the entire provisional fleet had expanded to nearly 40 ships of various types.

The second fleet that Zhuo Fei saw in Hangzhou Bay at this time only had 6 pitiful ships and 3 submarines, including 5 warships, 1 modified aircraft aviation, and the largest battleship was just an old cruiser with a displacement of 2,000 tons. Zhuo Fei wanted to train the capabilities of the Kuala Lumpur shipyard on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this fleet to protect the transport fleet between Kyushu Island and the Jiaodong Peninsula.

After the Japanese government began its eastward relocation plan, there were no large ships on the mainland that could be used for long-distance raids, so Zhuo Fei naturally did not have to worry about the Second Fleet being intercepted by a strong enemy at sea. A week ago, Chiang Kai-shek used a trick to steal the sea and quietly transferred the New Second Army from the northeast. The Japanese retreated from the northeast, but they still left behind countless spies, but they could never have imagined that the New Second Army, which was originally stationed in Changchun, had quietly moved south to Hangzhou Bay.

In order to ensure that the troops fighting against Japan were sufficient, Chiang Kai-shek not only transferred the New Second Army south to Hangzhou Bay, but also sent his own First Guard Division to Hangzhou Bay to wait for the sea crossing. "Jiang Gong can be regarded as a bloody capital this time, if this battle is not fought, I will never have the face to go to Chongqing to see Jiang Gong." Looking around at the group of national army officers standing beside him, Zhuo Fei's face showed a hint of ridicule.

"Boss Zhuo, don't say that, a few of us are cowardly, but we can't help you scare people like this." Du Yuming, who was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, laughed along, and everyone else laughed. Zhuo Fei's command ability is not outstanding, but his grasp of the timing and battle situation is admired by Du Yuming and others, especially the battle process of the umbrella to capture Kyushu Island, which has long been repeatedly discussed by the officers of the New Army.

"Taking Honshu Island, the Japanese government will only have two ways to go, one is to surrender to us voluntarily, and the other is to abandon the mainland and settle down in the Americas." Zhuo Fei paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a few steps before turning to look at Du Yuming and the others. "According to the information we have so far, the Japanese government has been sending a large number of people and supplies to the Americas, while on the other hand, it has stepped up its efforts to recruit reserve troops on the mainland. It can be seen from this that the Japanese Government will absolutely not choose to surrender lightly, so we must show the momentum and determination of a lion fighting a rabbit and seize this opportunity to completely knock Japan to the bottom and not turn over. ”

"On our side is the New Second Army and the 1st Guard Division of Jiang Gong, and on the Korean side, I have ordered the Korean Restoration Army to launch an all-out attack on the Japanese army in the south. Two days later, the Provisional Fleet, which is cooperating in Taiwan, will go north to Kyushu Island, and while we attack Honshu Island, the Temporary Fleet will launch an attack on Tsushima Island to solve our worries. Zhuo Fei's words made Du Yuming and the others overjoyed, and they said in their hearts that this could be regarded as catching up with the big battle.

Xu saw something from everyone's expressions, Zhuo Fei reminded everyone with a smile, "Don't expect too much, the Japanese army is a local defense this time, and they will definitely use all their strength to block our attack." You commanders must be mentally prepared now, and our casualty figures will not be low in this attack on Honshu Island. "The casualty figure has always been a soft piece of soft flesh in the hearts of troop commanders, especially officers like Du Yuming, who were born in Huangpu and are now serving as commanders of the new army, are even more sensitive to the casualties of the troops.

"Fighting, how can you not die and not be injured, as long as you can completely kill the little devil, it is worth taking my life." Xu Yuanqing, who was in charge of the artillery division of the New Second Army, replied nonchalantly, Zhuo Fei turned around and glanced at it, and it could be seen that most of the young officers standing next to Xu Yuanqing also had this idea.

Zhuo Fei did not accuse Xu Yuanqing, but said earnestly, "Everyone, you are not ordinary soldiers now, and you are all commanding thousands of troops. War is changing rapidly, anything can happen on the battlefield, and as a commander, you should not look at the problem from the perspective and attitude of ordinary soldiers, because you are still carrying the lives of those soldiers under your command. In order to ensure the success of the attack on Honshu Island, we have stockpiled a large amount of supplies and ammunition on Kyushu Island, and I hope you will remember that these ammunition are far less valuable than the lives of any ordinary soldier under your command. ”

Looking at the transport ships leaving one after another on the dock, Zhuo Fei, who was standing on a high place, was full of excitement, and in two days, it was time to attack Honshu Island. At this time, Zhuo Fei didn't know if this attack on Honshu Island would be successful, but he knew that if he lost this opportunity in front of him, maybe he would live in endless regret for the rest of his life, so he had to give it a try.
