The special plane is several thousand meters in the air, sweeping through layers of turbulent clouds, Tang Qiuli through the porthole, looking at the emerald-like, inlaid in the endless blue water of the South China Sea Hainan Island, quite a lot of emotion, the years are like water, and it is the beginning of a new year, from the ice and snow in the northeast, to the warm Hainan like spring, the pace of the battle is in a hurry, has not stopped.

In an instant, more than ten years have passed, and he has gone from being a young man to a man with nearly one million people under his command, who can determine the situation in China and even the world.

Tang Qiuli's eyes were full of memories and loss, Liu Xinlan carefully felt the fluctuations in his feelings, although he didn't know what his man was thinking, but the sadness revealed between his eyebrows touched Liu Xinlan's heartstrings, got up and poured a glass of water, handed it to Tang Qiuli's hand, and silently snuggled up on his broad shoulder.

Tang Qiuli retracted his thoughts from Yuanfei, and secretly thought to himself, "How can I be sentimental" and caressed Liu Xinlan's long black hair, felt the longing in her heart, and then gently held Liu Xinlan's hand and switched her thinking to the battlefield that was about to begin.

Stratus clouds rolled up, white waves were monstrous, Hainan in January, a little less hot in summer, the temperature of more than 20 degrees, people felt very comfortable, more than a dozen planes, landed at Haikou Airport, because of Tang Qiuli's order, Marine Corps Commander Han Tie and other senior officers, did not go to the airport to greet them, but waited at the headquarters.

The generals of the independent division all know that the division commander is most annoyed by this set of red tape that ushers in the send, wasting time and not saying, that set of polite words without nutrition, listening to it and getting tired of it, since the division commander has given the order, he did not dare to touch this moldy head, and it is not good to make trouble. The division commander will make you unable to get off the stage in person, and it is you who will lose face.

The convoy drove into Haikou, the largest city on Hainan Island, and after a brief period of chaos, the city had recovered. The streets were marked by patrols of heavily armed marines, but the dull eyes of the citizens and the numb expressions on their faces were all explained. On Hainan Island under the rule of the "Day" himself, the life of the "Chinese" people is definitely not easy.

The troops of the corps' command organs and the six detachments of the special operations detachment all stayed outside the city for the time being, and Tang Qiuli only took Liu Xinlan, Shanhu, Chutian, and Chief of Staff Yang Ketian to Han Tie's headquarters under the protection of the special guards, at the entrance of the headquarters department. Although Tang Qiuli was on his military uniform, the four golden generals explained his identity. However, the sentries still meticulously followed the prescribed procedures and strictly checked the documents of several people.

Tang Qiuli nodded secretly, it seems that although the Marine Corps is not in a good position, the morale of the troops has not been low, Han Tie has a set of troops, and when he arrived at the headquarters, the senior officers of the Marine Corps sat neatly on both sides of the long table. Han Tie yelled, "Stand up!" Salute! Report to the division commander, an officer of the Marine Corps brigade commander or above of the independent division, here is waiting for the arrival of the division commander! ”

Looking at the officers who were shining brightly, Tang Qiuli sighed a lot, the old foundation of the Marine Corps. It was the former Yellow River Henan Defense Line Garrison Corps, the first commander Major General Su Jingfeng, who had been killed in battle for nearly three years, and that big man Su left his spirit and spirit in the old army, thinking of Su Jingfeng's voice and smile, Tang Qiuli's heart ached.

When he looked at Han Tie, a trace of guilt and shame flashed in Han Tie's eyes, and when Tang Qiuli sat down, Han Tie's first words were: "Division commander, I didn't complete the task of the division, the battle of Hainan Island was fought as it is now, and I have the trust of the division commander, I will review!" ”

In the past few days, for Han Tie, the inner torment is something that others can't understand, the Battle of Hainan Island is the first battle since the formation of the Marine Corps, I originally wanted to make a good start, but unexpectedly, it became a pot of raw rice, the most taboo thing for the army is that the initial battle is unfavorable, although it is not a defeat, but with superior troops and equipment, as well as the cooperation of the aviation force, the combat mission was not completed according to the original plan, in Han Tie's view, it is a lost battle.

From top to bottom, the troops are shrouded in an impatient feeling, in fact, Han Tie himself is not in a hurry, the battle is like this, the Marine Corps alone can no longer solve the problem, the division commander will increase the troops sooner or later, send any corps commander to come, Han Tie's heart, will be very uncomfortable, this is not the so-called face problem, but involves the self-esteem of a soldier.

However, after receiving the order from the division commander that the division commander personally led the troops over, Han Tie's heart did not have a pimple at all, and some were just guilty and ashamed, not every general of the independent division was under the command of the division commander, and experienced countless battles of all sizes, and the prestige of the division commander was established in the hearts of every officer and soldier of the independent division.

This is also where Tang Qiuli considered the problem comprehensively, so he formed the Hainan Island Combat Corps and personally served as the commander, Han Tie's subtle thoughts, could not escape his eyes, seeing this, he waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Commander Han, I came all the way here, but I didn't listen to your review, besides, your marines are not prepared to give guests a sip of water to drink, right?" It is said that Hainan Island is a treasure land rich in fruits, why, you Han Tie is not so stingy, right? ”

The generals of the Marine Corps were originally a little nervous, and in their speculation, as soon as the division commander arrived, he would definitely be furious, and at the very least, he would accuse or reprimand, which was also the proper meaning.

The officers had already made ideological preparations for training, but the division commander made a few jokes to dispel a few dark clouds in their hearts, and a plate of fruit was put on the table, Tang Qiuli was not polite, reached out and picked up a bunch of bananas, handed it to Liu Xinlan, holding a coconut by himself, the cool coconut water with a slight sweet taste, made him refreshed.

While drinking coconut water, he said: "Let's not be idle, let's introduce the battlefield situation!" Colonel Wang Dongshan, chief of staff of the Marine Corps, pointed to the large military map of Hainan Island with an indicator baton, and said: "Division commander, according to the order of the division commander, I have not adopted the tactics of steady and steady progress, and the situation on the battlefield has improved. ”

"Yesterday morning, fierce battles broke out with the Japanese army in Dongjiang, Meitai, and other places on the Chengmai line, Huangling, Fengmu, Nanlu, and Wupo on the Tunchang line, and Wanquan, Shibi, and Wenshi on the Qionghai line.

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Very good, it seems that when I go to Hainan Island, there are mostly leisure components, and I may not be able to interfere in the war" Wang Dongshan smiled bitterly, and then said: "However, since last night, the rear defense line of our army has been attacked by the Japanese army on a large scale, and the logistics supply depot and transportation lines have been greatly damaged. Starting this morning, the speed of the attack has slowed down. ”

Tang Qiuli was stunned at first, and then laughed, laughing so much that the generals looked at each other, I don't know why the division commander laughed, Tang Qiuli was a little ridiculous, it was a ridiculous feeling, the tactics adopted by the "day" himself are typical guerrilla tactics, and its origin can be traced back to the ** guerrilla warfare master Mao Weiren, however, because of his own appearance, this kind of tactics that made the "day" himself extremely uncomfortable did not appear in the current "China" battlefield.

The so-called reality is also powerful, Mao Weiren's theory, has not yet been put into practice, I didn't expect that the "Japan" himself has no teacher, and actually used this set of world-recognized classic guerrilla tactics on his own troops, how can he not make him laugh, he can't help but believe his own inference, the supreme commander of the Japanese army on Hainan Island, should be the same as himself, a guy who came through the country, otherwise, how could he use this set of tactics? I am not alone!

In all fairness, given the situation of the Japanese army on Hainan Island, there is no more suitable tactic than this; as the saying goes, "how much capital you have, how big a battle you can fight." With the current strength of an independent division, it is possible to conduct several large corps and large-scale battles at the same time, but the Japanese army on Hainan Island is not able to do so, and the capital is limited, with a total of only 37,800 men.

Guerrilla warfare, I didn't expect that in another world, I could personally experience such tactics, but the offensive and defensive sides were in different positions, and the locations and conditions were very different, if it was in the vast mainland of China, Tang Qiuli would never have such a relaxed mood, and on Hainan Island, even if he was Sun Wukong, he couldn't turn over the palm of his hand.

Seeing that Tang Qiuli hadn't stopped laughing, Liu Xinlan secretly pulled his sleeve, Tang Qiuli woke up from the extremely ridiculous feeling, and saw that the crowd was staring at him with big eyes, that meaning was obvious, is this ridiculous? The little devil stirred us up, and the teacher still had the heart to laugh, it was really the mind of the superior, and it was difficult to figure it out.

Tang Qiuli coughed and gargled to hide his gaffe, looking at the unnatural face of the Marine Corps generals, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but secretly scold himself, "It's really not right, how can they understand their own thoughts, maybe they think I'm laughing at them, low-level mistakes." ”

So, he asked Wang Dongshan with a calm face: "Chief of Staff Wang, do you have the details of the supreme commander of the Japanese army?" Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, one hundred battles will not be defeated, while understanding the opponent, he is also looking for an opportunity to destroy the opponent" His mind has not yet finished freeing himself from the absurd feeling, and he has a great interest in this rather strange Japanese commander.
