Time passed quickly, and it was half a month in the blink of an eye. Not long after He Meng inspected Tsushima Island, he returned to Busan and returned to Tsushima Island not long after. He Meng's return to Tsushima this time was to relocate the headquarters of the coalition forces to Tsushima Island as a whole, and he was to personally take charge of and direct the landing operation on the Japanese archipelago. The headquarters of the Eastern Front Army was temporarily set up in Yanyuan, the largest town on the lower island, and at the same time, the headquarters of the three major corps of the Eastern Front Army were all on the island, and each corps was to undertake the task of landing operations.

The headquarters of the Taiyang Fleet commanded by Dai Hui was also temporarily located in Yanyuan on Shimoshima, and was merged with the Eastern Front Command. At present, all the main combat ships of the Pacific Fleet are stationed in the waters of Tsushima Island and are on standby, and since Tsushima Island cannot meet the berthing needs of warships, most of the warships are anchored in deep waters far from the coast. The three major corps of the Eastern Army, a total of nine corps, have landed on the island one after another, and for a time Tsushima Island was overcrowded and became a large barracks.

The headquarters of the front army has already distributed the operational jihua to the various corps so that they can familiarize themselves with the landing area they are responsible for, and as for the operational jihua of zuihou, it is necessary to convene a military meeting to draw up the plan, and at the same time report the preparations to the capital headquarters. The headquarters of the 1 Corps is located in the north of Upper Island, the headquarters of the 2 Corps is located in the south of Upper Island, and the headquarters of the 3 Corps is located in Lower Island. On this day, Commander He Meng returned to his temporary home at the headquarters after inspecting the 3rd Corps. The temporary house is a Japanese house with distinctive characteristics in Itsukuhara Castle.

This house is a detached courtyard, and there is no tall fence around it, but a bamboo fence is used to block the surrounding area, and the scene inside the courtyard is clear at a glance. He Meng jumped off his horse in front of the door and handed the reins to the guards. Through the fence wall, He Meng found that Mrs. Xiuhua was busy under several cherry blossom trees in the courtyard. The beauty of the cherry blossoms in full bloom has long passed, but the fragrance of the cherry blossom trees does not seem to have dissipated. Xiuhua did not wear a military uniform. The lower body is a grass green skirt, the upper body is a white shirt, and the head is tied with a flower handkerchief, which looks free and easy.

He Meng walked into the courtyard and found a table under a cherry blossom tree, and the table was covered with a white cloth. There was a bottle of French wine on the white cloth, and a small jar of Moutai. There were already a few cold cuts on the table. An alluring scent. "You're back, I'm about to send someone to call you!" Xiuhua saw her husband walk into the middle of the courtyard. "Madam, what are you doing here?" "Sister Natsuko will come in a moment. Naturally, as an older sister, I have to be grandly received. "So Dai Hui is here too?" "Nonsense, can Sister Natsuko's brother-in-law not come!" Xiuhua glared at He Meng with disgust.

"Commander Dai is busy with military affairs, it must be your attention!" "Is it so difficult that I, the hostess, don't have this right? You are a brother-in-law, and your sister is close at hand. You don't care at all. "Alright. You're the hostess, I know my mistake. After He Meng finished speaking, he quickly took off his shirt and hurriedly washed. Soon, the guards announced that the guests were coming, and He Meng and Xiuhua hurried to the door to greet them. "Sister, brother-in-law!" Xia Zi happily ran over and said hello, and leaned close to Xiuhua affectionately. Instead of wearing a military uniform, Natsuko wore a white dress. Beauty and youth dance in front of your eyes, making people feel like their hearts are blooming.

Dai Hui was still wearing a navy general's uniform and smiled: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law." Disturbed! "Haha, I said quasi-brother-in-law, what is the point of being annoying, I can't ask for you to be a guest! Just now, your sister still complained about me, saying that I didn't care enough about my sister and brother-in-law, and today I will punish myself with three cups to make amends, please! "Brother-in-law, you just don't care about me, my sister has seen me several times, and you don't come to see me?" Natsuko said politely. "Sister Natsuko, it's my brother-in-law's fault, how do you punish me!" "If I punish you, my sister will feel distressed, I'm afraid I'm not a person inside and outside my sister."

"Sister Xia Zi has sharp teeth, and she hasn't grown much in a few years! Dai Hui, you have to be careful! He Meng teased, and several people walked into the courtyard with a smile. The guest and the host sat down, Xiuhua poured the wine himself, and after a few glasses of wine, He Meng said: "Dai Hui, you and Xia Zi are engaged, when will the wedding be held?" Dai Hui didn't squeak, but looked at Natsuko with a smile. The two of us agreed to marry after the occupation of the Japanese archipelago, and at that time, we would be married on the deck of the battleship in Tokyo Bay! "Sister, can you not go back to the capital? Can Madame agree to such a big thing? Xiuhua was surprised.

"Daddy said, the wedding is simple, and respect my opinion!" He Meng glanced at Dai Hui and said, "In that case, I will personally attend your wedding, and I will be the host for you." After all, Dai Hui has not officially integrated into the family, so he doesn't talk much. Soon Xiuhua and Xia Zi left the table, and there were endless words between the sisters, and some words were inconvenient to say in front of men, so they naturally left them and continued to talk. Xiuhua and Xia Zi left, Dai Hui felt a lot more relaxed, so he naturally opened the conversation.

"Brother-in-law, the Navy Headquarters informed that in order to disrupt the sight of the enemy fleet, after the start of the landing operation, the Nanyang Fleet will launch an attack on the Japanese Sasebo Military Port." Dai Hui said. "Great, with the Nanyang Fleet joining, the landing operation is more certain." "But after the completion of the sneak attack mission of the Nanyang Fleet, it did not join us, but went to Taiwan's Kaohsiung Military Port through the Taiwan Strait, I don't know what the headquarters means?" He Meng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he keenly caught the clues.

"If I'm not mistaken, the target of the South Sea Fleet is the Philippines?" Dai Hui was surprised: "You mean to attack the Manila military port!" He Meng shook his head and said: "It is not to attack the Manila military port, but to launch a landing operation against the Philippines." I have already been informed that the headquarters has canceled the operation of the Taiwan Front to land on Japan from the Ryukyu side, so I have concluded that the Nanyang Fleet will not join up with your troops, but will go south to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and will definitely cover the landing force to launch an attack on the Philippines. ”

Dai Hui heard the praise and said: "Brother-in-law, they all say that you are known as Little Zhuge , and today I have learned it and it is indeed worthy of your reputation." "What kind of nonsense, I am cultivated by the president, and the president's mind can guess a few points." The President's judgment was very accurate, and at present, the attention of the Allied Forces Headquarters was all focused on the Japanese archipelago, and the Nanyang Fleet suddenly attacked the Sasebo Military Port, and the Allied Forces Headquarters must have believed that the Nanyang Fleet was here to support the operation in the Tsushima Strait. However, the Nanyang Fleet suddenly turned south and covered the Taiwan Front's sudden attack on the Philippines, which the enemy would never have imagined. It's wonderful. ”

"Brother-in-law, your analysis is very incisive, I'm afraid that the headquarters has already planned an operation to attack the Philippines!" Dai Hui conforms. He Meng's eyes were sharp and deep: "With my understanding of the president." He saw the fighters that quickly captured the Philippines at the lowest cost. If we take the Philippines, the whole of Nanyang will be alive in a game of chess. At that time, the Republic of Lanfang will have no worries, and will create the necessary conditions for Lanfang's move, and the president's vision has gone beyond the Japanese archipelago and is playing a bigger game of chess. ”

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean...... After the capture of the Japanese archipelago, our fleet will fight in the Pacific Ocean! "Dai Hui, you have to be mentally prepared. The next decisive battle in the ocean depends on whether your navy can make a difference, and the president's zuihou target is the American continent, and the premise depends on the performance of your navy. "No wonder Deputy Commander Bai personally sat in the Mawei Military Port. Two of our newest cruisers were launched before the end of the year. I heard Commander Fan say. The combat effectiveness of one cruiser can catch up with the combat effectiveness of 3 battleships. I judged that the cruiser was launched, and it was definitely in the Pacific Fleet. ”

On this topic, the two brothers talked until late at night before they reluctantly dispersed. Xia Zi stayed at He Meng's mansion overnight, and Dai Hui returned to the Navy's Temporary Command alone. Dai Hui walked into the headquarters and saw Deputy Commander Deng Shichang sitting at the headquarters. Dai Hui asked, "Brother." Why don't you rest when it's late at night! "It just so happens that you are back, and there is a new situation that I must tell you, I know that you went to Commander He's house as a guest, so I didn't bother you!" "What's the situation?" "According to the reconnaissance submarine report. The enemy's main warships have all withdrawn into the Shimonoseki waterway, I don't know what it means? ”

Dai Hui's head sank a little and said: "Order the reconnaissance submarine to pay close attention to the enemy's movements." Tomorrow I will report this new situation to Commander He. Deng Shichang turned around to leave. Dai Hui continued: "Brother, I have already ordered Deng Lan to go ashore, my daughter's wedding has not been attended, take advantage of the time for your father and daughter to get close." "Commander Xiexie Dai!" Deng Shichang left gratefully. Dai Hui took a shower with cold water, and his head suddenly sobered up. Recalling what He Meng said, Dai Hui became excited again.

On this day, Zhuang Lei's 1st Division received an order to return to Tsushima Island by boat from Geoje Island, and their division was stationed in the No. 1 area northeast of Upper Island. It just so happened that Ma Kai's special brigade was also stationed in Area 1, and that night, the three brothers got together again to drink and talk. The room of the headquarters of the first division was facing the coastline, and the three brothers raised their glasses while looking at the dark sea. "What do you say Little Japan is doing now?" Li Tie asked. Zhuang Lei said: "Do you still need to ask?" I must be nervous, maybe I sleep with my eyes open. ”

"What is torture, this is torture, knowing that the opponent is going to take out the sword, but not knowing where the opponent's sword is pointing, this is called the wind and the grass and trees." Ma Kai laughed. "It seems that the attacking side is strong at all times, and the defending side is weak at all times, and now we and the Japanese are in this state, and as a strong person is qualified to despise the opponent." "Incisive, Brother Zhuang's analysis is three points, and he has the demeanor of a general." "When did you kid learn to compliment people, didn't you always find fault with me before?"

"At this time and at that time, how dare I dare if you are in a high position now!" "You kid will be damaged, I thought your problems had changed, so I thought it was still that face?" "The nature of the country is easy to change, if I Li Tie changes sex, then I won't become a girl!" "Okay, okay, you two will pinch as soon as you meet, let's get down to business!" Ma Kai was dissatisfied. Zhuang Lei remembered something and said: "By the way, I heard that the chief of staff is looking for you, is it to assign tasks to your special forces?" ”

Ma Kai said: "The chief of staff gave me a map of Hamada in Japan so that I can familiarize myself with it as soon as possible, and I estimate that at least one landing site is in Hamada." Zhuang Lei's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The northeast direction of our division is Hamada, and it seems that we are fighting side by side!" "It's true to fight side by side, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, we are a secret landing operation, that is, to enter the heart of the enemy to fight, understand?" Li Tie sneered. Zhuang Lei glanced at Li Tie and said, "Captain Ma, can you borrow your map to take a look!" "No problem, I've copied the map, and I'll give it to you."

I don't know how many officers and men were talking about the landing operation this night, and how many officers and men could not sleep. Boiling Tsushima Island, in the noise! (To be continued......)

PS: The desire to fight, is the honor of the soldiers of the Reich.
