Volume 1 On the Songhua River Chapter 1572 The Japanese Army is a Bigger Enterprise

Tang Qiuli's feeling is absolutely reasonable, because the Japanese are not conventional in doing this, and the so-called abnormality must be a "demon"

Judging from the superiority of the Japanese army in the Pacific islands, the US military has lost its ability to resist, and the number of so-called scattered US troops and Dutch and Indian soldiers will not be too many.

Even if the soldiers of the American Army and the Dutch and Indian armies who escaped the fate of annihilation had the will to resist, imitated Mao Weiren, and organized guerrillas, the Japanese army only needed to leave a very small part of its troops to defeat these foreign guerrillas.

Looking at the military masters of all countries in the world, only our Chinese Mao Weiren, relying on this powerful political party, brought the essence of guerrilla warfare into full swing and vividness, and besides, the Europeans lack the ruthlessness of the Orientals, especially the Chinese, to fight to the death

Fighting guerrilla warfare, can those foreigners endure that hardship? If Tang Qiuli is asked to say that those fleeing American and Dutch and Indian soldiers may not have found a target for surrender, in fact, there is no need to search for them, as long as they post a few notices, or dispatch propaganda vehicles, and shout with loudspeakers for a few days, those American and Dutch and Indian soldiers who have no owners and lost their souls will not rush to surrender?

It is absolutely possible for the Japanese to plunder the natural resources of the occupied areas, and Japan will lack these war materials, otherwise, it would not have used troops against China, the Indochina Peninsula, and the South Pacific region one after another; it seems that the Japanese army has made plans to occupy the occupied areas for a long time, and will turn the current occupied areas into bases for the Japanese and Americans to compete for control and control of the Pacific region.

With so many troops in the base camp of the Japanese army idle in the area where the war has ended, is it that the war on Luzon Island has ended? The Americans were defeated miserably, and there was no need to transfer troops, so why didn't Chutian have any news, and if the fighting on Luzon continued, why didn't the Japanese troops press on the Luzon battlefield and completely drive the Americans out of the area?

These questions that didn't know the situation were enough to make Tang Qiuli entangled, and he then asked, "Yuhe, apart from these circumstances, what else does the intelligence say?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division commander, in the intelligence of the special operations detachment, there is also a situation that the Japanese army in various places has collected a large number of various mobile boats and refitted them in several major ports, because the Japanese army is tightly defended, and all the modification sites are strictly guarded by the military police, and ordinary Japanese officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter, and our special operations detachment cannot conduct more in-depth reconnaissance, and the specific situation is unknown."

Tang Qiuli frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Yuhe, what do you think of the actions of the Japanese army?"

Zhao Yuhe obviously had his own judgment before sending the telegram, and immediately replied: "Division commander, I think that the Japanese army's actions are abnormal, strengthening the law and order in the occupied areas, and receiving and militarily controlling industrial and mining enterprises, not to mention that the battle situation in Luzon and Mindanao is unknown, and the greatest possibility is that after the war, the Japanese troops will take a short rest to prepare for the next large-scale military operation."

Zhao Yuhe paused, and then said: "Division commander, there is another possibility, that is, the battle on Luzon Island has ended, the Japanese army occupies the island, there is no need to mobilize troops In this way, the commander of the Chutian detachment ...... them" Zhao Yuhe did not say any further, this should be the worst speculation, the Americans were defeated, and Chutian and their group disappeared into the whirlpool of war.

Tang Qiuli understood what Zhao Yuhe meant, he didn't think about it in this regard, but he still couldn't convince himself, whether it was based on his trust in Chutian's ability or the abnormal behavior of the Japanese army, it was not enough to support him and make the judgment that all of Chutian's team was killed or missing.

Tang Qiuli no longer had an appetite, enjoyed Mei Xue's carefully cooked meal, walked to the large map of the Pacific Ocean, clasped his hands on his shoulders, frowned, and thought hard, even the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng came in, and he didn't notice it.

Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly, and began to pack up the military lunch box on the desk, while Liu Xinlan thought more, "He is so anxious now, I still want him to be distracted by his own affairs, is he too ignorant?" After cleaning up, Mei Xue pulled Liu Xinlan's hand, and the two silently said hello to Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe and left.

After more than ten minutes, Tang Qiuli slowly turned around, saw Tang Qiusheng, smiled, and said: "Brother Qiusheng is here, just right, several special operations squads have sent information one after another, Yuhe and I are analyzing and judging the next move of the Japanese army, there are several judgments, you can also listen to it"

Tang Qiusheng smiled and said gently: "Master, what about your judgment?"

Tang Qiuli said: "My judgment is that the Japanese army cannot have two purposes in doing this, first, the battle on Luzon Island is not over yet, at least, MacArthur is still holding a few footholds, and the plan of the Japanese commander, that is, the commander of the South Pacific Dispatch Army, Ito Yanzaburo, should be like this, not rushing to occupy Luzon Island, in order to attract the Americans to continuously invest troops and consume the strength of the US army on the battlefield."

"My basis is this: From a geographical point of view, the islands in the South Pacific where the fighting took place are tens of thousands of kilometers away from the US mainland, and it is quite difficult to put troops or logistical supplies without chaos, and the Japanese army can use the existing resources in the occupied areas to provide logistical supplies nearby, and the Americans will suffer a lot of losses for this alone."

"The U.S. military reinforces the South Pacific theater from the mainland and travels long distances, while the Japanese army is waiting for work, compared with the two, the battlefield control zhì in the existing area is absolutely beneficial to the Japanese army, and the MacArthur troops on Luzon Island will not be annihilated immediately, and at the same time, it is also to reduce the pressure of attacking the Japanese Seventh Army in the Hawaiian Islands, using MacArthur as a bait to disperse the strength of the American army, but the main purpose is to use the home advantage to gradually consume the American army."

Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "It is very possible, otherwise, the Japanese troops who ended the fighting on other battlefields will press towards Luzon, and MacArthur's troops at this time, except for being completely annihilated, have only one way to retreat south to Australia, and he has no choice."

Tang Qiuli sighed and said: "Ito Yanzaburo is a guy who knows military strategy very well, he dug a hole for the Americans, in terms of his strategy, it has a great success, the Americans will never give up the South Pacific islands, and they will inevitably compete with the Japanese army for this area, and the focus of the competition is on Luzon Island, Luzon's geographical location, backed by Australia, convenient for reinforcements, and where the US military headquarters is located, now, it depends on the Americans, and they can't help but see through Ito's strategy."

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli suddenly asked, "Brother Qiusheng, if you were MacArthur and faced with the current situation, what would you do?"

Tang Qiusheng replied with a smile: "It's very simple, in order to avoid the fate of being completely annihilated, all the troops on Luzon Island will be withdrawn south to Australia, and the reinforcements on the mainland will also use Australia as a staging place to reorganize and organize the troops to prepare for a long-term confrontation, and once the strength allows, they can counterattack the South Pacific islands, and in terms of the national strength of the United States, within one or two years, it can be completely done."

Tang Qiuli applauded lightly and said: "Brother Qiusheng, fortunately you are not MacArthur, otherwise, Ito Yanzaburo has to lament, both Shengyu and He Shengliang, this is indeed the most correct approach, with Australia as a base, and the South Pacific islands are close at hand, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack cities and plunder land in the Pacific Ocean without scruples, for the Japanese, it is not only a containment, but also a drain."

"In that case, the outcome of the war, the final victor, must be the Americans, it depends on whether MacArthur can see through Ito's strategy, for us, it is not a bad thing to hope that MacArthur will be fooled and consume the strength of the Americans."

Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "Division Commander, you, a fisherman, have made up your mind, no matter whether Ito Yanzaburo's strategy can succeed or not, a bloody battle between the Americans and the Japanese is inevitable, by the way, what else is possible?"

Tang Qiuli's eyes jumped, and his tone suddenly became serious, and he said: "It is precisely because of this that I have come to my second judgment, the Japanese army is collecting motor boats in the occupied areas for only one purpose, to attack Australia, knock out the last springboard for the Americans to counterattack the islands in the South Pacific, and at the same time, it is also to eliminate the hidden dangers that Brother Qiusheng said."

Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe were both shocked by Tang Qiuli's judgment, the Japanese army is now in full bloom on the islands of the South Pacific, and it has hit the doorstep of the Americans in the Hawaiian Islands, and their appetite is not satisfied?

Australia is the most solid piece of land run by the British, unlike other colonies, almost all of them are European immigrants, there is cohesion and centripetal force, it is easy to form hundreds of thousands of troops, besides, the land area is not comparable to the few islands occupied by the Japanese army now, the strategic space and the battlefield room for maneuver is huge, and it is useless to invest hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Once the Japanese army really attacked Australia, the Americans and the British would fight back, they would be desperate and crazy, the war was bound to be long and cruel, and the Japanese could not withstand such attrition, so Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe did not agree with the judgment of the division commander.

Tang Qiusheng was just about to refute, but Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, strode in, without even knocking on the door, holding a telegram, and said with joy on his face: "Report to the division commander, deputy division commander, good news, the telegram I just received from the head of the Chutian detachment."
