Chapter 172 Battle of Madagascar 13

Immediately after the navy won the naval victory, Jarvis, as the commander of the navy, sent a victory telegram to the Ministry of Defense in Feijing, which was far away from the battlefield: "At seven o'clock as soon as possible, all the remaining warships of the French Navy have formally surrendered to our department, and the landing operation can begin." ”

After receiving the news of this victory, Li Puyu, who was far away in Feijing, stood up excitedly and said: "Quick, immediately send a telegram to Durabo and the deputy commander of the navy and tell them to leave immediately, I will end the battle of Madagascar in a week." I'm going to make the world blow a black whirlwind. ”

The sun had just risen in the east like an orange-red flame, and a large number of warships and civilian steamers had gathered at a military dock in the African People's Republic. Among these ships stood out from the crowd was a huge warship, the only aircraft carrier of the African People's Liberation Navy. He is the joint command of the Navy and Army for the liberation of the island of Madagascar, and he is also the flagship of the operation. All the generals of the Navy and Army know that the aircraft carrier is the leading warship in the future, so the large warship such as the battleship will naturally not be sought after by them, although this aircraft carrier is the first generation of aircraft carriers. But this also does not affect their liking. In the words of Wu Suifeng, the captain of the Hope, no matter how powerful your battleship is, can it withstand the repeated bombing of my aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft? So you have a cannon barrel in thick white. This is the Navy, not the Army, so take a break. Du Labo naturally agrees with this truth, but he is not as arrogant as Wu Suifeng. In order to collect first-hand information on the front line, he pulled his command directly to the aircraft carrier Hope.

Soon after landing on the Hope aircraft carrier, Durabo received an order for the Navy to win and the army to attack, so Durabo called all the military cadres at the level of commander and division commander under his command to the conference room of the Hope. Although Durabo has only experienced less than a year of military career, he has grown into a qualified general by this time. Although the whole heart was very excited, there was no trace of expression on his face. The sharp eyes quickly swept a glance at the people below, and at this time, the stars on the shoulders of the dozens of officers in army uniforms sitting neatly in front of him shone in the light, and the quiet atmosphere in the conference room was frozen as if it could be overwhelming.

After looking around, Durabo withdrew his gaze. In a very solemn voice, he said, "Comrades, allow me to call you brothers today. Speaking from the big up, because we are all black compatriots, from the novel we are all a soldier of the African People's Liberation Army. Today we are about to regain the island of Madagascar, which has been occupied by the French for hundreds of years. Today we are going to tell the world in a dignified manner that you will return our African land to us. Otherwise, the mighty African People's Liberation Army would not have agreed. ”

All the generals collectively looked at their commander intently, and let his voice echo throughout the conference room. This can be heard in his voice that he is unwilling and angry about the history of Africa. I can also hear his vision for the future.

"Since the President led us to fire the first shot against the Europeans in Tanzania. It means that the time has come for us to renaissance Africans. Today we liberate the island of Madagascar. It also represents the end of our history of humiliation. Durabo continued:

Just as Durabo finished speaking, the dozens of high-ranking generals collectively stood up and shouted: "There will be no head if you don't lose your ground." ”

"Well, I will have no thought of life with a mortal heart. Let's go and regain the island of Madagascar together. I want to go forward on the island of Madagascar. Durabo said:

After the Army meeting, Roderick, as the deputy commander of the Navy, also held a military meeting with the commanders and fighters of the Navy in the conference room of another heavy cruiser. Of course, as the deputy commander of the navy, Roderick did not give these naval officers a bloody blow, but only arranged some detailed problems and told them some problems to pay attention to: "I know that everyone has been assigned to the Third Detachment and is holding back the fire, and I can tell you that today our commander has led the main force of the navy to annihilate the French navy. The chairman ordered our third fleet to cooperate with the marines to occupy the beachhead of the French in one fell swoop and open up the main battlefield for the army. Especially your Marines give me the prestige of our navy, don't lose the face of all of us. There's nothing else to say. Tawau go and prepare. ”

The naval officers returned to their ships for a brief pre-war mobilization meeting, and all the ships began to start their own warship engines. For a time, the entire military dock was lively. Be ready to go at any time.

The departure was led by the Navy's cruisers, as well as destroyers and frigates, which protected the Navy as an aircraft carrier, and then the Navy's Hippopotamus-class amphibious landing ships, which weighed more than 10,000 tons. Their task was to cooperate with all the main forces of the Marine Corps to take the beachhead of the French in one fell swoop. Behind them were armed transport ships that transported the main forces of the army.

This landing operation can be said to be the largest large-scale military landing operation since the founding of the African People's Liberation Army. It involves more than 50,000 people in the navy and more than 200,000 in the army. There are hundreds of large and small steamships and more than 1,000 aircraft. In order to successfully complete this operation, the Ministry of National Defense mobilized more than 500 staff officers of the navy and army to coordinate with the landing operation. For a time, the Ministry of Defense was overcrowded, and the logistics personnel of the Ministry of Defense were very tired. Because they mobilized more than 1,000 radio stations, 3,000 telephones. There are also problems such as eating, drinking, and Lazar.

"We want to be better in this operation, and I don't want to have any problems like that. If there is a problem, report it immediately, and I will start arranging it immediately. Li Puyu stood in front of the huge map and said: When the African People's Liberation Army Navy and the First Army Corps were collectively dispatched, other units of the African People's Liberation Army also made tactical adjustments in order to prevent accidents. For a time, the African People's Republic was mobilized.

With a loud whistle, a heavy cruiser led by it slowly made a circle and began to slowly move eastward, followed by an aircraft carrier and countless landing craft, destroyers, frigates, and transports. Countless soldiers sat quietly in the cabin, quietly wiping the weapons in their hands and listening to the commander tirelessly explain the location and precautions of the landing. Although it was not the first time they had heard from the Commander, none of them showed impatience, and they all knew that what the Commander said would probably save their lives in the near future.
