Qin Huaiming smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "...... In my opinion, Mr. Yue's arrangement has another meaning. ”

"I know this, is it really a fake show." Liu Yi is also a veteran who has been in the army for many years, and some strategic and tactical considerations are naturally well understood, so he pouted and continued, "Let the 2nd Group Army sing this play, I'm afraid it won't attract enough spectators, so we have to sing this play with the 3rd Group Army." "Then what else do you have to be unhappy about?" Qin Huaiming shook his head and said.

"Hey, didn't you let Cao Xinglong, Li Yùlong, and a few of them give Bī?" , Liu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not like Chi Chengfeng has scolded his mother once or twice behind his back, this stupid big black coarse." "Hehe, that's understandable. Qin Huaiming smiled and said, "Speaking of which, since our group army entered Burma, it really hasn't caught any battles, but Dai Anlan's 5th Group Army has fought a few tough battles." ”

After saying this, Qin Huaiming said again: "Besides, the brothers are also eager to fight, and their morale is very high." ”

Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these things yet" Let's calculate and calculate the specific tactical implementation, this beach-grabbing landing operation is the first battle of our Chinese expeditionary force since its reorganization last year, and it can't be lost. ”

On the outskirts of Yangon, where the 1st Army was stationed.

Song Xilian and Huo Kuzhang were also discussing the specific arrangements for the beach-rushing landing operation.

Song Xilian said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Yue Weihan would let you and me play the main attack." ”

"yes, I didn't expect that." , Huo Yuzhang said, "I thought that it was not the 3rd Army, but also the troops of Dai Anlan or Peng Bisheng, but I didn't expect it to be you and my brother's troops."

Song Xilian nodded, and said, "Yue Weihan still seems to have some stomach. Huo Yuzhang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Brother Xilian" Have you ever thought about what you and my brother should do if the Japanese army in Central China really enters Sichuan and Yunnan? Song Xilian was silent, of course he knew what Huo Yuzhang meant.

Once the Japanese army in Central China invaded Sichuan and Yunnan, "even if Chairman Chiang fled to the northwest, the national government could basically be regarded as annihilated."

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean?" Song Xilian asked in turn.

Huo Yuzhang said: "I've already thought about it" political things and let those big people who should be cào heart go to cào heart, you and I are an ordinary "middle" person, the soldier only cares about fighting the war "just obey the order" In the past, in the country, "naturally obeyed the orders of Chairman Chiang, and now since he has come to Burma, he should obey the orders of Commander-in-Chief Yue." Song Xilian nodded and said leisurely: "What Brother Zhang said is deeply in my heart." ”

Swept through this layer of window paper, Song and Huo's mood suddenly brightened, and Huo Yuzhang said: ", Brother Xilian, I have heard" The British are very optimistic about our beach-grabbing landing operation, British-Burmadi, Lieutenant General Slim, the commander of the army, even publicly threatened that "our [Medium] ** team does not know how to land on the beach at all." ”

"The British are still the same as the deed." , Song Xilian said suddenly.

"This time, let's teach the British a good lesson, how to fight the three-dimensional landing battle of land, sea and air?" , Saying this, Huo Yuzhang said again, "Hmph" is not a hundred years ago now, but these British still regard us as Manchu Green Battalion soldiers during the Opium War. ”

Saigon, Southern Army Command.

The front of the mō sand table in the war room was already full of Japanese generals, and Major General Lin Yixiu, deputy chief of staff of the Southern Army, was introducing the Siam battle situation to the old devil in the temple: "Your Excellency General, the number of the Chinese Army on the Siam-Burma border has been confirmed" is the 3rd Group Army to which the Chinese Expeditionary Force belongs, the predecessor of this group army is the 39th Group Army of Taihang Mountain, and it is Yue Weihan's trump card lineage! ”

"What?" The old devil in the temple said awe-inspiringly, "It turned out to be Yue Weihan's trump card descendant of the concave group army?" ”

Lin Yixiu nodded, and then explained: "The main force of the 3rd Army has been assembled in Bantatona on the Siam-Burmese border" The armored regiment of the forward 31st Division has advanced to Chanaburi, which is less than 200 kilometers away from Bangkok, the capital of Tara "The Siamese army put up some resistance, but it quickly collapsed under the attack of the Chinese army. ”

Anda Twenty-three frowned and said: "The expeditionary force of the Chinese country has not yet completed all the redressing, and it is obviously not logical to send troops to Siam at this time, does Yue Weihan really plan to fight with the imperial army on the two battlefields of Siam and the Malay Peninsula at the same time?" Although Myanmar's industrial base has been built, it is impossible to support two wars at the same time, right? ”

Lin Yixiu said: "There are clouds in the art of war in China, virtual and real, virtual and real, virtual and real, will it land on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula is the real smoke bomb, and taking the opportunity to annex Siam is the real intention of the Chinese army?" After all, the China Expeditionary Force is fundamentally a pure army, and if you don't want to be constrained by the Americans, attacking from land is the first choice. The old devil in the temple couldn't help but hesitate, whether the 5 divisions of the 31st Army should be put into the Siam operation, "or send reinforcements to the Malay Peninsula?"

If the real intention of the "Chinese" expeditionary force is to annex Siam, these five divisions will naturally be transferred to the Siam battlefield, otherwise the "Chinese" expeditionary force will be able to occupy the Kingdom of Siam, it will be able to gain great strategic depth and be able to seize the rich natural resources of Siam, and the Indochinese Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula controlled by the Japanese army will also be divided by the "Chinese" team.

But what if the annexation of Siam was just a smokescreen? Then the Malay Peninsula and Singapore are dangerous.

The old devil in the temple suddenly felt that the strength of the Southern Army was still too small, don't look at the current battle sequence of the Southern Army, which already has 20 field divisions and more than 30 mixed brigades, with a total strength of more than 800,000 people, but when it came to wartime, the old devil in the temple found that the strength was still insufficient.

The key is that the Chinese Expeditionary Force left a shadow in the hearts of the old devils in the temple.

At the time of the Battle of Burma, the Chinese Expeditionary Force had not yet changed its equipment with American weapons, and it was already so powerful, "Now there are more than a dozen divisions equipped with American weapons", isn't it even more powerful?

Now, a consensus has been formed within the Southern Army: "The Japanese army in Nanyang needs at least five or more field divisions to form a group before it can go out to maneuver, if only one or two field divisions are sent out, once it is surrounded by the squadron, with the current firepower of the squadron, it can completely annihilate the encircled Japanese army in a few hours."

At this time, the situation of the Japanese army was somewhat similar to that of the Liberation War in history, at first, a brigade dared to go deep into the liberated area to conduct mobile operations, "then the whole division, then the whole army, and finally before the Huaihai War began, the entire corps could not act together, and Mr. Li's appetite was so big that he dared to gnaw on the five corps at the same time."

The old devil in the temple hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to make a decision, so he turned his gaze to Anda Twenty-three.

Anda Twenty-Three will also be a little shaken, because Yue Weihan has not only beaten the armored regiment of his descendant ace 31st Division to the outskirts of Bangkok, if this is really acting, then it is too real, right? It's just a fake show.

"Order", the old devil in the temple gritted his teeth, "Finally made a decision," the first army immediately entered Siam! ”

Kuala Lumpur, Japanese Headquarters.

Yamashita Fengwen finally waited for Terauchi Shouichi's telegram, but what disappointed him was that the 5 field divisions of the 31st Army were not transferred to the Malay Peninsula, but to the Siam battlefield.

In Yamashita Bongfumi's view, Shouichi Terauchi still lacks some strategic vision.

Terauchi Shouichi obviously did not see the huge strategic value of the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, and only sent the 10th two divisions to garrison the Malay Peninsula and Singapore respectively in the early stage, not to mention that "now the squadron is obviously about to carry out a beach-grabbing landing operation on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula" Terauchi Shouichi still refused to send troops, and this person's level is like this.

If Terauchi Shouichi can transfer the five field divisions of the 31st Army to the Malay Peninsula, Yamashita will not dare to say that the landed "Chinese" expeditionary force will be dumplings, but it will never be a problem to hold the peninsula and force the "Chinese" expeditionary force to return without success, although the Allies have absolute naval superiority, but the Japanese army also has strong fortifications.

However, it is a pity that the old devil in the temple finally transferred these five divisions to Siam.

The only thing that could make Yamashita feel a little relieved was that after a few days of arguing, "Lieutenant General Katamura Shibachi, the commander of the 10th Division, was finally persuaded by him, and he also made great adjustments to the defense deployment of the Malay Peninsula" The land defense in the direction of Máo Lammian has reduced a lot of troops, but the defense of the west coast of the peninsula has been greatly strengthened.

Seven days later, Yangon Port.

The U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet's Seventh and Eighth Fleets finally arrived at Yangon Harbor.

The next day, carrier-based planes of the Seventh and Eighth Fleets and all the fighters of the Air Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force took to the air one after another and began to impose a no-fly blockade on the airspace near Burma, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula.

Under the double search of Allied radar stations and AWACS aircraft, "the Japanese fighters had nothing to hide.

Immediately, more than 60,000 officers and men of the 22nd Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and equipment sailed to the Andaman Sea under the protection of the US Navy on more than 80 large transport ships and more than 500 armed merchant ships.

At the same time, more than 2,000 officers and men of the 1st Regiment of the Airborne Division were boarding the plane in turn at the Yangon airport.

After the completion of the Myanmar base, more than 100 DC-3 transport aircraft and more than 500 P-51 Mustang fighters have been produced so far.

With these more than 100 transport planes, China's airborne troops have regained their combat effectiveness.

Shah Alan Beach.

The blue sea and blue sky, the golden sand is like snow.

A bōbō sea làng roared from a distance, slammed into the beach, and immediately turned into patches of white foam.

"These obstacles were clearly designed to prevent assault boats on foot from approaching, and the farther away from the shoreline when the assault boats ran aground" meant that the longer the infantry struggled in the water, the longer the defenders could attack.

Crossing the sandy beach, which is about tens of meters wide, the coastline rises "to form a gentle slope."

On the gentle slopes, artemisia grass is overgrown, coconut trees are forested, and in the dense grass, there are barbed wire fences.

When you get closer, you will find that there are bunkers hidden in the dense artemisia grass, these bunkers are very secretive, and if you don't get closer, you can't find the beach 100 meters away from the "shè hole through the bunker", almost every bunker can control the beach nearly 500 meters wide, several bunkers cover each other, and there is almost no shè hit dead end.

About two kilometers away from the coastline, "the terrain began to undulate, and large xiǎoxiǎo peaks began to appear.

These peaks are almost hollowed out, "the Japanese army has built a large number of permanent fortifications in the belly of the mountain", there are infantry bunkers, artillery fortifications, and large fortress fortifications, looking down from the sky, the coastline of Shah Alam's beach dozens of miles long is full of such Japanese fortifications, which are neither impregnable nor too bad.

Yamashita Fengwen, an old devil, is still very set, not only built a large number of solid coastal fortifications in a short period of time, but also chose to build at night, skillfully avoiding the aerial reconnaissance of the Allied forces, until now, the command of the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not know that the Japanese army had managed Shahran Beach to a solid foundation.

At the observation post at the top of the mountain, two Japanese soldiers were leisurely chōu smoking.

The older Cao Chang was squinting and enjoying the cigarette of the private's filial piety, but the throat cage of the private next to him suddenly sounded the sound of ho-ho-ho inhalation, Cao Chang frowned and looked up, only to see the private's eyes wide open, staring at the sky in front of him, Cao Chang instinctively turned his head, followed the soldier's line of sight, and suddenly opened his eyes.

A large area of blackened Allied planes is roaring from the northwest!

After all, Cao Chang has been a soldier for five years, "much calmer than the private who had just enlisted, and reacted quickly after less than half a second" immediately picked up the whistle as fast as he could, and blew it vigorously, and in an instant, the sharp whistle pierced the silence of the early morning, and the devil soldiers in the entire outpost were also alarmed.
