Aware that the countdown to war had begun, the Japanese army must have prepared for a full-scale surprise attack on the British and American fleets and airfields in the South Seas. Zhao Tiehu immediately ordered all the non-fighting Chinese in the town to be withdrawn into the jungle, and the town's troops entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

David, who moved into the jungle of Medan, looked at Zhao Tiehu who appeared in his house in the early morning, and he also looked surprised. Just seeing the information handed to him by Zhao Tiehu, David was also horrified and said, "Is this true?" ”

'David, you should know that I never dare to joke about this kind of thing. It seems that this time, I was right again. You all underestimated the madness of the little devils, I hope you send the telegram now, it's still too late! ’

'Thank you! I'll send this telegram back home at once! ’

As David sent back a telegram that the Japanese might attack the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, MacArthur, who received the telegram, was also woken up by the officer on duty. Seeing the telegram from David, MacArthur was equally incredulous.

But he still said immediately: "Send a report to the Pacific Fleet to inform the Japanese aircraft carrier formation and the movement of the aircraft group." Hopefully it's still in time! Damn, why didn't our intelligence department find out about this information in advance?

In the face of MacArthur's inquiry, an intelligence officer stationed in the Philippines said: "General, according to some information we have, it seems that this Chen's subordinates have a group of Japanese people who serve him. These Japanese bowl people seem to have been born in the Japanese bowl military. ”

'How is this possible?' Didn't the Japanese army pay attention to bushido? ’

'There are always some soldiers who are afraid of death!' If nothing else, they must have had an intelligence agent infiltrate the Japanese army to find out this information. In fact, if the Japanese really did something against our Pacific Fleet, they would definitely keep it strictly secret. ’

By the time MacArthur's telegram was sent to the Pacific Fleet, Pearl Harbor, where the sky had already brightened, was still as calm as ever. The officer on duty who received the telegram did not pay much attention to this information.

Just as the officer on duty was about to make a debrief, a piercing air raid siren suddenly sounded in the calm port. The officer on duty who rushed out of the barracks finally turned pale when he looked at the large number of Japanese fighters breaking through the clouds.

Roared: "Damn, the Japanese bowl people really dare to sneak up on our fleet!" Now, it's over! ”

By the time the officer on duty telegraphed to the fleet headquarters, the entire military port was in chaos. Nearly 200 Japanese warplanes carried out raids and bombardments on warships anchored in the harbor.

Because it was too early, and it was a rest day for the US military. Many US soldiers who woke up in a hurry were killed by rounds of bombs before they even had time to fire their anti-aircraft weapons.

As for the warships anchored in the harbor, they also became important targets for bombing by Japanese fighters. One warship after another, before they had time to take any precautions, were bombed by Japanese fighters and sunk in the military port.

When the first group of bombers sent back the signal of 'Tiger, Tiger, Tiger', it means that the first group of planes made a successful surprise attack. The second group of Japanese fighters anchored not far from Pearl Harbor were immediately ordered to take off and fly to Pearl Harbor as the second echelon.

MacArthur, who had been waiting for a call back, was surprised to see that nearly two hours had passed and Pearl Harbor had not replied to the telegram: "What's the matter?" Isn't our fleet on combat readiness? Send another telegram to ask! ”

Just as MacArthur sent a telegram to inquire, an officer on duty rushed into the command room with a panicked expression, and said with a pale face: "General, Mr. David has just sent a telegram that our fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor has been attacked!" ”

'What? Did it say how the situation was? ’

'Nope! This information is still provided by Mr. Chen from Medan. It is said that it was the information that was urgently sent back by their intelligence officers in Hawaii. It was only told that our fleet was unprepared and was bombed by the Japanese in turn. ’

As soon as these words came out, MacArthur couldn't help but slap the table and scolded: "Shet! Those commanders of the fleet should go to court-martial. Let the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor succeed, and now we are really in trouble. ”

'General, Mr. Chen sent a telegram in his personal capacity informing him that the Japanese aircraft carrier battle formation stationed in the Ryukyus had left port and was heading for us. I believe it won't be long before they attack us. ’

Listening to the report of the officer on duty, MacArthur immediately said: "Quickly forward this information to the commanders of the British and Dutch armies." Send a telegram to the country and let us know what's going on here. Damn, I can't imagine that kid is right again.

By the way, a squadron of fighters was transferred from the airport and immediately transferred to Mindanao. Also, open our arsenal, take out a regiment's equipment and weapons from it, and let the transport plane transport it over to Chen's troops.

If the Japanese army really attacks us next, having Chen's troops help us delay the Japanese army can also relieve us of a little pressure. In addition, I told Chen that I hope that any information can be shared with us next! ”

'Yes, General! ’

From the two telegrams sent by Zhao Tiehu, MacArthur also realized how powerful the mysterious intelligence team in Zhao Tiehu's hands was. And next against the Japanese army that is about to invade the Philippines, he also needs detailed intelligence support.

As for the domestic side, it is believed that it is unable to support the Philippine side for the time being. Some time ago, MacArthur, who had just discussed with Zhao Tiehu about the possibility of a future battle, must also admit that Zhao Tiehu had once again judged correctly.

This also meant that in order to seize the Dutch oil fields in Indonesia, the Japanese army was bound to attack the British and American troops stationed in the Philippines and Xinjiapo. In this case, MacArthur naturally wanted to have as many troops at his disposal as possible.

Compared with the indigenous army in Manila, MacArthur was more optimistic about the Chinese army in Medan. The reason is very simple, he feels that Zhao Tiehu is not simple. Even today's Mindanao, the hidden strength is greater than he imagined.

If Zhao Tiehu can be enlisted for help, at least some of the pressure on the US military stationed in the Philippines can be relieved. That's why he sent a squadron of fighters to Mindanao, and at the same time sent transport planes to earn a regiment of equipment for free.

After all, by this time, he needed an army, not weapons. In fact, today in Manila, the US military has a large number of weapons and ammunition in stockpiles. Sending a regiment's equipment to Zhao Tiehu, he felt that it was nothing.

After receiving the telegram from MacArthur, Zhao Tiehu also smiled and said, "Big head, send our people to receive the equipment." In addition, the flight group was informed that another squadron of fighters would be transferred to our airfield.

By the way, start the underground apron of the airport, and once the plane transfer is complete, pull all the planes to the underground airport and put them up. Wait for the first round of bombardment by the little devils to end, and then wait for the order to carry out counterattack operations.

In addition, I sent a telegram back to General MacArthur that if the Japanese army launched an attack on Mindanao, I hoped that the American troops stationed on the island would also be under my control. In this way, I can better delay the Japanese army here. ”

'Yes, wolf's head! ’

After preparing for so long, Zhao Tiehu seemed to be enthusiastic about the upcoming battle. He was well aware, and MacArthur should have been well aware, that the situation would be very unfavorable for them as well.

Under these circumstances, the more than 5,000 U.S. troops stationed on Mindanao were simply unable to resist the Japanese attack. In this case, it is better to hand over these US troops to Zhao Tiehu's unified command, and maybe it can come in handy.

Receiving the telegram from Zhao Tiehu, MacArthur was silent for a while and finally said, "Agree to his conditions!" But I hope that he can hold back as many Japanese attacking troops there as possible and share our pressure! ”

Not long after MacArthur sent the telegram, Zhao Tiehu took the telegram and reported: "Big head, send a report to our garrisons in various cities. They were ordered to take over all the coastal cities and transfer the foreigners there into the mountains for refuge.

At the same time, they set up blocking positions in these cities and sent liaison officers to liaise with the US forces there. Inform MacArthur of the decision to authorize me as Supreme Commander of the Medan Peninsula. After the troops took over the defense, they made every effort to prepare for war and air defense.

Ignore the landing battle of the little devils, put the landing force of the little devils ashore and fight them in the streets. I'd like to see how many troops the little devil plans to fill in here. When the time is right, I will give the order to retreat! ”

'Yes, wolf's head! ’

After the operational instructions were issued, the garrison troops, which had been preparing for a long time, began to enter Zamboanga and other coastal cities under the watchful eyes of some American troops. The residents of the city were surprised by the appearance of these Chinese troops.

When the liaison officer issued a certificate, the commander of the U.S. military stationed in the area also asked for confirmation. The other party also said sincerely: "Thank you!" We have received instructions from the Command, and we will cooperate with you in the next battle. ”

'Good! Thank you for your understanding! Now I will convey General Chen's first order, which is for you to assist in the transfer of foreigners in the city. As for those natives, don't bother with them, I'm sure they should be reluctant to leave! ’

'Where to go?' ’

'In the mountains! In the mountains, we have built resettlement sites, and when they get there, they will be properly resettled. It's just that when we are transferred, I hope you will send soldiers to talk to them and cooperate with our actions after entering the mountain.

After all, the conditions in the mountains are certainly not as good as here. But they also have to endure some hardships for safety. If they don't want to go into the mountains, then we don't force it. But when the fighting begins, we can't be sure of their safety. ’

Faced with the proposal of the wolf warrior commander who took over the city's defense, these US military commanders stationed in Mindanao knew as long as they were not stupid. It is already very rare for the other side to think of transferring their expatriates.

If you don't want to move into the mountains, you have to stay in the city and don't leave. When the Japanese army really attacked, I was afraid that the troops would not be able to take care of their safety. After all, the next situation will undoubtedly be very unfavorable for the US military.

Otherwise, MacArthur would not have made them obey Zhao Tiehu's command. In the final analysis, it is no longer the US military that has the final say on Mindanao, but Zhao Tiehu, the recognized leader of the Chinese on the island!
