Chapter 1565: Retreat to the next best
In this controversy, Lin Long was completely defeated and rushed out of Jiang Haoran's office in a huff.
A commander-in-chief of the three armies has this attitude, and it would be hellish if she could still expect the troops below to converge, and it was useless to report this matter to Duke Zhou.
Jiang Haoran also made a more appropriate analogy with her, like a group of wicked people came to your house and killed all the people in your family, you caught these wicked people, you still served them with good food and drink, and sent them back, can you expect these wicked people to repent from the bottom of their hearts?
The answer is no, not only will these wicked people not repent, but they will also think that you are a bully, and when they are recuperate, they will kill you in your house, and they don't have to die anyway.
In fact, in the past few hundred years in modern times, the island country's desire to destroy us has never stopped, and it is our people's blind concession, forbearance, and cowardice that have led to today's situation.
If you can't kill them and fear them at once, they will be weak when they hear the names of the Chinese, and once their wings are hard, they will rise again.
The people of the island country are still martial, the national pervert, and they have always only obeyed the strong, just like now, they kneel and lick the people of the United States who gave them nuclear damage, but they often show their minions to China that gave up huge compensation and allowed them to breathe.
The story of the farmer and the snake is worth every Chinese's vigilance.
Soon after Lin Long left, Liu Qiaoshou hurriedly walked in and reported to Jiang Haoran that the Governor of Macau, Felila, had sent an urgent telegram agreeing to return Macao to China and asking the Chinese government to send someone to receive it immediately.
"That's weird, they used to have a very tough attitude, why did they suddenly change sex and become so happy?" Huang Jie muttered.
Jiang Haoran was also obviously stunned, then got up and walked to the map behind him, and after looking at it for a long time, he said: "I'm afraid they didn't change sex, but the island people forced them to do this, it must be the island people who threatened them, either allowing the island army to go to the island, or fighting each other." β
"Oh, you're saying the island army is preparing to attack Macau? Attacking Macau at this time, is it at the cost of millions of Brazilian expatriates, can they afford it? Huang Jieqi said.
Jiang Haoran snorted coldly and said: "The current island army, the expatriates are worthless in their eyes, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope to preserve the army, the life and death of the expatriates have to give way, not to mention that there are still three or four divisions in front of them." β
Huang Jiexi said: "This is the best, we only need to parachute a division to receive it smoothly, and by the way, the last retreat of the four divisions of the island army in Guangdong will be blocked." β
"Nope." Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't save him in such a hurry, skillful, call Fei Lila back, we agree to receive, but before we receive, he must guard Macao, and do not allow the island army to go to the island, if they dare to let the island army come in before this, we will regard them as complicit with the island bandits, and resolutely annihilate them." β
"It's the main seat!"
Liu Qiaoshou led the order and left, but Huang Jie said strangely: "Boss, as far as we know, the Portuguese defenders in Macao are very weak, I am afraid that the island elements on the island alone can defeat Macao, how can they stop the island army?" β
Jiang Haoran said: "It's not my business, don't they want to be neutral, now see how he is neutral?" β
Portugal was nominally neutral in World War II, but in practice favored Germany and Italy. In fact, it is similar to the practice of the United States in the early days of World War I, that is, to make war profits at both ends.
Throughout the war, Portugal exported tungsten ore and other war materials to Germany and Italy, until the Allied forces landed in France in 1944, when they stopped exporting materials to Germany. Unlike Franco, Salazar never had the idea of going to war. Portugal had expanded its army and built bases in the Azores, and the government was ready to evacuate its homeland and take refuge on the islands.
Like Switzerland, Lisbon has become a haven for refugees and spies, and in the tourist destination of EstoΓ, people enjoy the sand and the sun without feeling the slightest hint of war.
It was not until the end of the war, when Portugal's good days of war fortune came to an end, that the Axis powers were defeated along the way, and Salazar took down the portrait of Mussolini that had been hanging for several years.
But now, forced by Jiang Haoran, their good days were forced to end early.
Three days later, a wing of the island army set sail from Hong Kong and occupied the entire territory of Macao in just a few hours.
On the same day, Portugal issued a statement declaring war on Japan, ending the export of various materiel to the Axis powers.
At the same time, millions of Brazilian islands were imprisoned in concentration camps.
Ten days later, the entire campaign entered its final phase.
The entire territory of Hainan Island was basically recovered, and Shouichi Terauchi fled into Wuzhi Mountain with the remnants of the island army, and the large-scale encirclement and suppression continued.
In Guangxi, the four divisions of the island army were basically annihilated, because of Jiang Haoran's connivance, the Chinese army no longer accepted surrender, and the island army was also fighting to the death, and both sides fought very fiercely.
In the areas of Guangzhou Bay and Lianjiang, only corpses were killed all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.
The remnants of the island army have stubbornly resisted in the areas of Qinzhou, Beihai, and Lingshan, but they are already only sporadic troops, and it is difficult to find even a unit-level formation, and the weapons, ammunition, and food are basically exhausted, and there is only a dead end waiting for them.
Only three divisions in Guangdong managed to escape, and they built a defensive line on the east bank of the Tan River in Kaiping with one division and desperately blocked the attack of the Nationalist army, while the remaining three divisions retreated at full speed and successfully escaped to Macao.
But they never dreamed that the reason why they could go so smoothly was completely intentional by Jiang Haoran.
First, it was to drag the Portuguese into the water, and second, whether it was Macao in front of them or Hong Kong across the sea, they had already entered the favorable attack range of the Chinese navy, and it was already easy to besiege them, and if the island army wanted to ensure that they could survive intact, they had to invest a lot of sea power to escort them.
At this stage, Jiang Haoran is not afraid of a decisive battle with the island army at sea, and with the current strength of the Chinese Navy, although he does not talk about abusing the island army, the odds of victory are quite high.
Moreover, in the middle and late stages of the entire Hainan Island campaign, the island army completely gave up the rescue, which can also be seen from their determination to retreat, and they have already arranged the defense lines of Luzon Island and Baodao Island to ensure the security of the mainland.
Therefore, Jiang Haoran hoped that they could free up their forces to entangle with him.
Originally, Hong Kong's material supplies might have been able to support the 21st Army of the Island Army for a period of time, but out of thin air, there were three more divisions and regiments, which would undoubtedly drag down the 21st Army of the Island Army more quickly and add even more trouble to the originally tense maritime forces of the Island Army.
Of course, they also have a choice, that is, while Dongguan and Huizhou are still in their hands, they will withdraw from Hong Kong by land along the coastline and withdraw to Fujian.
But this distance is not short, stretching for more than 1,000 kilometers, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and you have to face the encirclement and interception of the national army from all directions, and in the end those who can escape to Fujian do not know how many are left.
