With more than 200,000 troops and the firepower support of the three-dimensional defense system of the navy and air force, the locust army was completely able to block the attack of the national army, and it was very difficult for the national army to tear through the defense line of the locust army without increasing the number of troops for at least three months.

With these three months, the second island chain will be able to complete the construction of the entire defense line, and build permanent fortifications on all the islands between the Philippines and Hainan Island, such as the Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, and Scarborough Shoal, and successfully keep the Chinese Pacific Fleet out of their country.

At that time, the 26th Army in Guangxi will be able to retreat successfully, and as long as the locust army holds the Qiongzhou Strait, the Chinese Pacific Fleet will only be able to roam around the periphery.

The success of the war games made the atmosphere of the command very good, and all the generals celebrated with their crowns, as if victory was already in hand.

"Report, Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa, commander of the fleet sent by the South, arrived." A soldier's report came from the door.

"Hehe, Ozawa-kun is here, please hurry up!" Shouichi Terauchi laughed and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Ozawa Jizaburo escaped in the Battle of Midway, and after returning home, not only was he not punished by military law, but became the commander of the Southern Dispatch Fleet, which shows the importance of the island army's reliance on him.

In fact, the greater reason is that after the death of Nagumo Chung for a while, the island navy really could not come up with a general who could take on heavy responsibilities, and Ozawa Jizaburo's comprehensive ability was still good, and he was known for his calm and composure in command, and he was the leading air warfare expert of the island navy.

In addition, after experiencing the Battle of Midway, Ozawa was able to learn a lesson, carefully studied Jiang Haoran's naval battle tactics at Midway, and put forward the concept of a task force attack fleet centered on aircraft carriers.

The defense and construction of the second island chain is the most important part of the current island army, and it has also gathered the strongest naval force of the island army.

The Southern Dispatch Fleet has 12 aircraft carriers under its jurisdiction, which are divided into four task forces, each with three aircraft carriers.

Including the strength of aircraft carriers such as Xianghe, Zuizuru, Hayabusa, Flying Eagle, Dragon and Phoenix, etc., at the same time, the latest launch of the island nation and the world's largest displacement aircraft carrier, the Shinano, is also among them.

Even the second ship of the Yamato-class battleships, the Musashi, was incorporated into it.

This shows that the island countries attach great importance to the construction of the second island chain.

A short time later, Jizaburo Ozawa appeared at the door of the headquarters, and after a salute and greetings, Shouichi Terauchi invited him into the headquarters.

Before the buttocks were hot, Ozawa Jizaburo hurriedly said: "General Terauchi, the reason why I came overnight is because the situation is a little abnormal, and Jiang Haoran may really be preparing to attack the Dutch East Indies." ”

"Ah, this is unlikely, Jiang Haoran is a guy who can't afford to be unprofitable, there is no direct benefit to him in fighting the Dutch East Indies, his Pacific Fleet still can't go back to the country, and besides, it is impossible for him to swallow the Dutch East Indies, it is nothing more than to make a wedding dress for the Mi Army, can he do this?" Shouichi Fox in the temple said suspiciously.

"That's right." Jizaburo Ozawa nodded and said: "However, according to the information I have gathered, the Chinese Pacific Fleet has been dispatched, and all of them have been frequently active in the area of Zengmu Beach and Karimata Strait, harassing and compressing the locust army and navy, and it seems that they are doing preliminary cleanup work for the attack." Moreover, the Seventh Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army, which has disappeared for a while, also appeared in the Guava Sea, what do you think they are doing here? ”

Terauchi Shouichi frowned, judging from this information, it really looked like he was going to attack the Dutch East Indies, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he still replied affirmatively: "This is Jiang Haoran's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, we must not fall into the plan, once our sea and air forces are transferred, the entire defense system of Guangxi will be affected, it is difficult for us to ensure the land security of Guangxi, once the periphery is lost, the Zhanjiang fortress has not been completed, then the army can possibly take Zhanjiang and occupy half of the Qiongzhou Strait, Through the dense land airfields on the Indochina Peninsula, they will be able to blockade the waters near the Beibu Gulf, open up a water communication line, and smoothly pass through the Qiongzhou Strait to complete the strategic concept of entering the China Sea. ”

"Yes, I agree with the general of the temple, Jiang Haoran has always been very cunning, and the plank road is dark and Chencang, which is in line with his tactics." Tsukada also agreed.

Ozawa Jizaburo was a little helpless, but he still did not give up, and said: "Two generals, the Dutch East Indies is the last fuel supply place for the locusts army, and there must be no room for loss. ”

Terauchi Shouyi: "It's not that serious, the Mi army has dozens of aircraft carriers, hundreds of thousands of troops, and what kind of 'island hopping tactics' are used, what is the result, it's not in vain, even if he Jiang Haoran has good ability, it can't be more powerful than the Mi army, at least in the short term, he can't capture our fortress, no matter what, when it comes, it's too late to rescue." ”

Ozawa Jizaburo said: "Don't forget, when we defended against the Mi Army, all the fortifications and fortresses were built in the southeast direction, but once Singapore was lost, the navy launched an attack from the northwest, and all the guns and guns could not be adjusted in the short term." Without strong shore-based firepower, navy and air protection, what did the locust warriors do to ensure the safety of the Dutch East Indies? ”

Terauchi Shouichi and Tsukada looked at each other, their expressions were very solemn, obviously they also expected the seriousness of this problem, but let them give up the safety of the Guangxi defense line to ensure the safety of the Dutch East Indies, they couldn't make this decision, and they didn't dare to make it.

After thinking for a long time, Terauchi Shouyi: "No matter what, I always believe that this is just Jiang Haoran's trick, what he desperately hopes for is to drive the Chinese Pacific Fleet back to China, so his main direction of attack must be Guangxi and Hainan Island, we can only stick to the original plan, and the rest, we can only wait and see." ”

Seeing that Shouichi Terauchi was so resolute, Jizaburo Ozawa could only shake his head and sigh helplessly, but he didn't expect that this matter would turn around.

At this moment, a staff officer of Zhongzuo hurriedly came in to report that an urgent telegram had been sent from the base camp, and according to the news, Jiang Haoran had secretly gone to Burma, and the direction of his main attack this time was the Dutch East Indies, and he ordered the Southern Army to immediately deploy troops to ensure the safety of the Dutch East Indies.

"No way, no way!" Terauchi Shou danced and shouted wildly, he also received information from Guilin's special high school two hours ago, Jiang Haoran also appeared in Guilin's Li Mansion, how could he have arrived in Myanmar now?
