Naturally, the Japanese could not sit idly by and watch the umbrella take Jeju Island and build an airfield on a large scale, and after deliberations between the cabinet and the military, Japan decided to retake Jeju Island. Zhuo Fei, who learned of this www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", was not surprised, if the Japanese did not react, it would be beyond Zhuo Fei's expectations. The temporary fleet commanded by McHausen seized the time to transport another batch of supplies and ammunition to the island, and then quietly disappeared into the South China Sea according to Zhuo Fei's order.

The temporary fleet commanded by McHausen is the only maritime force under the umbrella at present, and Zhuo Fei did not want to put the temporary fleet into this plan, but because of McHausen's strong request, Zhuo Fei finally had to agree to McHausen's request and agreed to use the temporary fleet as a surprise soldier. How the Japanese army will carry out a counterattack, Zhuo Fei has generally inferred, and now he only waits for the intelligence officers deployed by the military commander in Japan to send back the news, as long as the specific movements of the Japanese defense fleet are confirmed, Zhuo Fei will make the next step.

Jeju Island is surrounded by water, and if the Japanese army in charge of the counteroffensive wants to recapture Jeju Island, it will never be possible without sea forces. Compared with the local defense fleet that the Japanese army may send to Jeju Island, Zhuo Fei is more worried about the aviation units from the Japanese mainland, thanks to the strong production capacity of the local aviation enterprises, the Japanese local aviation units can receive no less than 30 locally produced fighters every day, but the umbrella still does not have the ability to produce fighters. Most of the current fighters of the Umbrella come from the military aid of the US government, in addition, the old models that Zhuo Fei ordered from Europe at the beginning, compared with the Japanese army with abundant production and supply capacity, the fighters of the Umbrella are getting fewer and fewer.

"Therefore, we can't always think about fighting a tough battle with the Japanese air force, before the follow-up supplies arrive in Jiaodong, Jeju Island is a piece of bait I left for the Japanese air force, and all flight teams are not allowed to take to the air to fight without my orders." The war is about to kick off, and in the face of the commanders of the flight team who are eager to fight, the answer given by Zhuo Fei is obviously not what they want, but Merkel also has the same attitude, and the commanders of the flight team who came to the headquarters to fight have to wait patiently for orders.

In the eyes of Merkel and others, Zhuo Fei's combat orders are as unorganized as imaginative, but the record that the umbrella has maintained has made Merkel and others choose to believe in Zhuo Fei unconditionally, and they believe that these orders issued by Zhuo Fei are definitely not untargeted. "Although the record of our umbrella is good, there is still a big gap to compare it with Japan. If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese New Army and the US-Australian coalition forces in the Philippines had temporarily attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's current operational focus had shifted to the American continent, our protective umbrella might have been surrounded and intercepted by the Japanese army that was pressing the border. ”

"Compared to us, the Japanese are superior in terms of their strength and logistical supply capabilities, and their sea power and control superiority are stronger than ours. First of all, our new weapons and equipment are not available to them, and our soldiers are still far from a strong army, but they are at least better than more than half of the Japanese soldiers. ”

"Now that we know that there is still a gap between ourselves and the Japanese army, then we should bypass these advantages that we do not have but the Japanese army has, and instead use our advantages to fight the Japanese army. Our walkie-talkies have been delegated to platoon-level troops, which the Japanese army does not have, relying on a good communication system, our troops can be assembled and dispersed, you must not forget, our umbrella is an expert in guerrilla warfare. ”

Zhuo Fei's words finally made the serious-faced Merkel and the others laugh, "We do not have an advantage in a positional battle with the Japanese army in a head-to-head battle, so we have to fight a chaotic war, a wave war and a melee with the Japanese army, and the Japanese army does not have a communication system like ours." You can imagine what kind of situation the Japanese army will face if there is a problem with the communication of the Japanese army, and the combat orders issued by the higher authorities cannot be transmitted to the lower units. ”

"If the Japanese army cannot ensure the smooth flow of communications and the smooth transmission of orders, our advantages will be multiplied." Among the people present, the fastest reaction was still Vivian, although Vivian knew very little about military affairs, but after Zhuo Fei asked rhetorically, it was Vivian who spoke first.

"That's right, Vivian is right, the two warring parties, one side of the communication is not smooth so that the battle order can not be guaranteed to be delivered smoothly, while the other side can convey the battle order to the platoon level combat unit at any time, such two troops are engaged in a melee battle, you should all know who the final victor will be." Zhuo Fei agreed with Vivian's answer, while Merkel and the others fell into deep thought.

In order to ease the slightly tense atmosphere, Zhuo Fei immediately smiled, "It's too early to say this, the most urgent thing for us now is to wait for the Japanese counterattack force to show up, as long as the Japanese army opens its mouth to the bait of Jeju Island, we have the opportunity to beat the Japanese army." "Things seem to be similar to Zhuo Fei's prediction, while Zhuo Fei and the others are discussing countermeasures, the Japanese defense fleet deployed on the mainland has anchored and headed north, and the military command intelligence officers lurking in the Japanese mainland have also sent back a message.

"Hehe, the Japanese are really anxious this time, not only sent their native defense fleet to help in the war, but also mobilized more than half of their native aviation units to participate in the operation." After receiving the information sent by the military commander, Zhuo Fei was overjoyed, which already meant that the Japanese had finally entered the trap. "Send a telegram to General MacArthur, telling him that we have succeeded in attracting the Japanese home defense fleet to the north, and hope that he will intensify his attack on the Japanese forces in the Philippines, and it is best to send his fleet to attack the Japanese forces in Taiwan."

"Order the Dangkou army to immediately break through the Kaesong defense line and continue southward, hoping that they can drive the Korean Japanese army to the area south of Seoul as soon as possible." Zhuo Fei issued orders continuously, and the combat staff officer in charge of recording was already a little in a hurry. "Order, all units of the new expeditionary force immediately go north to Shandong to stand by, and at the same time mobilize 150,000 servant troops to accompany them to the north." Before Zhuo Fei issued these orders, he did not think about concealing them from the Chongqing side, in fact, before issuing these orders, Zhuo Fei had already used the radio to communicate with the Chongqing side, otherwise he would never have ordered hundreds of thousands of servant troops and the newly built expeditionary force troops to go north to Shandong.

After receiving the telegram from Zhuo Fei, Chongqing reacted differently, but everyone knew that the umbrella was making another big move. There was no request or negotiation in Zhuo Fei's telegram, and there was only one central idea in the telegram, that is, the umbrella was going to do something to the Japanese mainland. When the news of the Umbrella Force's raid on Jeju Island reached Chongqing, the top officials of the coalition government were surprised by Zhuo Fei's audacity and secretly pondered the purpose of the Umbrella's move.

At that time, no one thought that the umbrella would use Jeju Island as a springboard to directly attack the Japanese mainland, at least the commanders of the new army headed by Dai Anlan had already seen some suspicions, but the Chongqing high-level people did not think so. Although the troops under the umbrella are invincible, they are weaker than the Japanese army in terms of overall strength and superiority, especially the umbrella does not yet have a navy in the true sense, and the air superiority is far weaker than that of the Japanese army.

According to their understanding of Zhuo Fei, more than half of the high-level people in Chongqing did not think that Zhuo Fei would make a desperate choice, because attacking the Japanese mainland at this time would only break his head and bleed, and the gains outweighed the losses. But what they didn't expect happened unexpectedly, Zhuo Fei sent a telegram to Chongqing, saying very definitely that the umbrella was going to do something to the Japanese mainland, which had to make the Chongqing high-level look at Zhuo Fei differently, of course, some people said that Zhuo Fei was beyond his strength.

Whether he is confident or self-defeating, it is nothing to Zhuo Fei, anyway, he will not lose his flesh if he is sick for a few words. Zhuo Fei completely informed the Chongqing side of his intentions, so that when the umbrella was transferred to the north, he would not be held back by the local garrison or the government. Zhuo Fei's game of chess seemed to be very big, so much so that Chiang Kai-shek, who had been facing the sand table for several days, did not sleep well for several nights, and the operational staff officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs were even more choked by Chiang Kai-shek.

After repeated sand table deductions and the synthesis of all the information, almost no one is optimistic about the upcoming military operation under the umbrella. Chiang Kai-shek could not help but secretly worry that if there was no protective umbrella to assist him, the new army might be unable to support itself. Chiang Kai-shek, who wanted to persuade Zhuo Fei not to go his own way, immediately sent a telegram to Zhuo Fei, but he did not want to be politely rejected by Zhuo Fei, which made Chiang Kai-shek angry.

"Go back and tell Jiang Gong that the arrow has been wound, and now it has reached the point where it has to be fired. If the umbrella is withdrawn now, the Japanese army will also get a respite, and if you want to end this war as soon as possible, it is the best choice to attack Japan directly. Even if troops cannot be sent to directly land on the Japanese mainland to fight, the use of aviation units to bomb the industrial system along the coast of Japan can also serve the purpose of demoralizing the Japanese army, and there is no turning back for the protective umbrella. ”

In the face of the envoy sent by Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuo Fei's answer sounded like an understatement, but the meaning was quite heavy. Zhuo Fei can really be regarded as betting on everything this time, if in the next operation, the umbrella cannot achieve a decisive victory, then the umbrella wants to face the difficult situation that everything it has so far will come to naught. When Chiang Kai-shek and other high-level officials learned the news, they were all secretly worried about Zhuo Fei's ruin, but they didn't know that while Zhuo Fei was still methodically issuing various instructions, he was secretly having fun.
