PS: Thank you chen587, thank you little evil lala, thank you day cold, thank you Teng Luoyue, thank you very much. Sorry for the update interruption yesterday due to network issues.

During the 20 days at sea, Li Guang's psychological pressure was very great. He always pays attention to the battle situation, but the communication ability of the No. 1 at sea is seriously insufficient, and sometimes he is isolated from the world for three or five days, and Li Guang is very worried about waking up one day and coming from some bad news.

The Naval Resistance Army attacked from all sides, its forces were scattered, and now that the Navy has lost the aircraft carrier Liberty Dragon, it is the weakest time period.

The biggest problem of the Naval Resistance Force is the lack of mobile forces.

Myanmar direction. Although the troops led by Su Qing are not the main force of the Naval Resistance Army, after the war, more than 1,000 veterans are also combat effectiveness that cannot be ignored. However, Li Guang was unable to transfer this force back to Ceylon.

Originally, Su Qing led more than 2,000 people into Myitkyina, Myanmar, and after a tragic blocking battle, there were less than 1,000 troops at this time.

In fact, it is a mobilization, and the number of troops is too small to play a role. And the reality is that there is no way to pull out.

Su Qing's troops were resting and recuperating, and did not undertake front-line combat missions. And thanks to the fact that Chairman Jiang and Su Qing are a little bit close, plus Su Qing turned the tide and kept Chairman Jiang's elite lineage. Recently, Chairman Jiang gave Su Qing a little benefit.

Su Qing is now busy reorganizing the local security regiment sent from Yunnan, which received nearly 10,000 personnel in June alone.

Chairman Chiang is well-intentioned, but of course not pure. Chairman Chiang had long been willing to control Yunnan's local powerful faction, Yunnan Provincial Governor Long Yun, a semi-warlord force, but he never found an opportunity.

The outcome of this Burma expeditionary force was very different from history, and most of its strength was preserved. In addition, the United States has provided a lot of equipment, and Chairman Chiang's waist is now relatively stiff. Therefore, he began to gradually weaken Long Yun's military strength, I don't know in what name and what kind of maneuver Chairman Jiang operated, anyway, now he sent the local security regiments in Yunnan to Su Qing in batches, but his intention was quite obvious.

Although these security regiments are quasi-troops, they are not easy to integrate. Su Qing couldn't pull out at all now. The reason is that these local security regiments not only have complex clan forces, but also have an extremely high proportion of double-spearmen who smoke big cigarettes.

Su Qing was busy screening every day, trying his best to control the army. The other side is also busy training. At the end of June, Su Qing already had nearly 4,000 troops on hand, but he couldn't form a combat strength at all for a while.

There is another important reason why Su Qing's troops cannot be mobilized. Tens of thousands of peasant soldiers gathered by Xu Zhan from Henan, Anhui, and Hubei have also arrived in Kunming one after another, and now they have been transferred to Madagascar, except for some of them. Tens of thousands more are trapped in India or Myitkyina. These people, however, were valued by Stilwell, the chief of staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and had already begun the construction of a road from Ledo in India to Myitkyina.

In a word. It was impossible for Su Qing to withdraw from Myitkyina. Although he does not have to fight on the front line, he also has to ensure the smooth transfer of personnel and materials.

Li Guang calculated and calculated. The Naval Resistance Army still has a little bit of idle strength, but it cannot be mobilized. The Stone Statue Island and Paradise Island, after the Maritime Resistance Army began to shrink the defensive line, the strength was seriously insufficient. Several factories there have begun to relocate to the island of Statues, as well as many units of the army and navy to Madagascar.

At that time, the military strength on Statue Island was only an artillery company, an amphibious company and some air force recruits. You need to know the submarine docks and gunpowder factories on the island of Statues. The food factory could not be relocated, and now there are nearly 4,000 people. Leaving such a small number of troops for defense is actually quite thin.

Moreover, after the Naval Resistance Force captured the Kaga aircraft carrier, the preliminary modification work also needed to be carried out on Shixiang Island. Predictably half a year. The Stone Statue Island simply cannot completely withdraw its troops.

As for Paradise Island, the strength of just one company, whether it is transferred or not has nothing to do with the overall situation.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Li Guang was able to adjust only the Naval Resistance Army troops in Tanggang Ceylon and the Maritime Resistance Army in Madagascar. However, how to adjust is a headache for Li Guang.

Whether it is Madagascar or Ceylon, it is impossible for the Naval Resistance Army to give up.

Madagascar is the future homeland of the Haitang Kingdom, and its importance is self-evident. And Ceylon, the importance is also undoubted.

Once the Japanese army occupies Ceylon, then China's only access to foreign aid will be cut off. Before the Japanese occupation of Burma, China relied on the Yunnan-Burma Highway. After the Japanese occupation of Burma, China now relies on Indian airfields for limited assistance.

Since Su Qing held Myitkyina, the air transport route was much safer than the historical Hump route, and it could also reduce the cost of road transportation from India to Myitkyina.

Myitkyina has become an important node in China's foreign aid channel, where the Chinese army has deployed three divisions of troops to defend intensively. With the support of the American Air Force, Myitkyina at this time was already impregnable.

In June, the Japanese army also launched several attacks, but the little devil found that if the Chinese army really held on, the Japanese army was really seriously undermanned by only four divisions. The Chinese army was newly defeated and unable to counterattack, and the Japanese army was insufficient and unable to attack, and there was a brief stalemate on the battlefield.

However, if Ceylon is occupied by the Japanese army, the sea supply channel will be cut off, and no matter how firmly the Chinese army in Myitkyina defends, what is the use?

U.S. aid cannot enter India by sea, let alone be transshipped to China.

From the point of view of supporting China's resistance against Japan, Ceylon absolutely cannot afford to lose.

Holding Ceylon is not only beneficial to the Chinese army, but also to the British. If China needs foreign aid, then Britain not only needs foreign aid, but also needs to send supplies and troops from India to the mainland.

From the point of view of the Allies, Ceylon could not afford to lose.

The Japanese offensive against Ceylon was a very clever tactic in terms of tactics. In a sense, the capture of Ceylon was no less significant than the Midway raid. And it can be regarded as a military operation with a fairly good price-performance ratio.

First of all, the current Ceylon is unprecedentedly weak in the British navy in this area after the Battle of Ceylon in April. Secondly, the British army force was defeated on the battlefield in Burma and was unable to fight back, and it was already a very good achievement to be able to hold the border between India and Burma.

On the Ceylon side, the British army had only one Anglo-Indian infantry division, and the total strength of the miscellaneous army was less than 20,000. At this time, the naval resistance army did not have many troops in Ceylon, only more than 6,000 troops.

It can be said that the Japanese army chose a good time.

As the supreme commander of the Naval Resistance Army, Li Guang had few options to choose from: First, Madagascar would stabilize its front and not attack again. Reinforcements of Ceylon. Second: abandon Ceylon and occupy Madagascar with all its might.

But as Madagascar got closer and closer, and more and more war reports were received, Li Guang seemed to have discovered that there was still a possibility.

Bao Gang's troops in Ceylon defended Tang Harbor with all their might, while Yang Weiwu's troops in Madagascar accelerated their offensive and quickly moved Ceylon to drive the Japanese out of Ceylon after completely occupying Madagascar.

The reason why he dared to come up with this idea was because Bao Gang had just sent the latest battle report from Ceylon: the Maritime Resistance Army had resisted the Japanese attack in all three directions. It can even be said that the Japanese offensive was contained in all four directions, and the naval resistance army and the Japanese army are now in a stalemate.

The army is different from the army, if it is the army of other countries, Li Guang is not sure. But in the Naval Resistance Army, Li Guang has a little confidence. If the naval resistance army withstood the Japanese attack in the battle, it would turn the tide of the war into a stalemate. In other words, the front of the two armies now resembles the kind of static front in the European theater.

In this case, the Naval Resistance Army was almost undefeated. No matter how many times or more the strength of the Japanese army has, the naval resistance army has this self-confidence.

The Naval Resistance Force is an army with a super firepower configuration, and even the US military in 42 years is beyond the reach of the US army in this regard. Of course, the shortcomings are obvious, and the ability to maneuver is seriously insufficient.

Under the command of Bao Gang, the Naval Resistance Army was able to drag the Japanese army into a stalemate, and its achievements far exceeded Li Guang's expectations. Once the stalemate is reached, if the Japanese army wants to make a breakthrough, it will have to fill it with human lives. Before the supplies and ammunition of the Naval Resistance Army were exhausted, the Japanese army did not want to make a breakthrough.

In terms of ammunition supply, I don't know how many orders of magnitude higher the Navy's troops are than the Japanese army, and Bao Gang's troops will not be short of ammunition even if they fight for a year and a half.

And this is where Li Guang's confidence lies in daring to change his thinking: first Madagascar and then Ceylon. (To be continued......)
