Chapter 1281: The Japanese Third Fleet is Coming

After agreeing on all the details, the sky was already bright, Liu Xinlan opened the curtains of the conference room, pushed open the window, and a breath of fresh air, with the coolness of November in southern Myanmar, poured in, blowing away the smoke all over the room, which made people feel refreshed and clear-headed.

The tricky problem was solved, everyone's mood relaxed, talking and laughing casually, Tang Qiuli stretched comfortably, looked at his watch, and said to Tang Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, after you go back, you can sleep back to the cage, and I will continue to be on duty," After speaking, he said to the others: "It's the same for you, stay up for most of the night, let's go back and rest, it's all for this guy Ito to make trouble, otherwise, Xinlan and I are even on duty to talk about love, both public and private, isn't it beautiful!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter at Chapter 1281

The Japanese Third Fleet came, Liu Xinlan's face turned crimson with shame, and she glared at him fiercely, looking at that posture, if no one else was present, she would definitely pounce on her and vigorously exert her dragon claw hand on Tang Qiuli, "This person, he can make any jokes, especially in front of so many senior generals, really," Liu Xinlan is really not used to it.

Tang Qiusheng looked at his watch, smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, division commander, in more than two hours, the task on duty will be completed, simply, Ling and Secretary Liu will go to rest, and I will save myself from running over again," Tang Qiuli pretended to be surprised and said: "This is okay?" I'm not leaving my post without permission, am I? Secretary Liu, let's go home? The crowd laughed again, and the room was filled with cheerful air.

Laughing and joking, Tang Qiuli was really a little sleepy, and glanced at Liu Xinlan, Liu Xinlan had already obediently picked up his windbreaker, followed him with his head, and lived like an angry little daughter-in-law, Tang Qiuli loved to see Liu Xinlan's shy appearance, thinking about Liu Xinlan's coquettish appearance after going back, and the beautiful scenery in it did not need to be said. I was secretly happy.

Just as he was about to leave, Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Division, hurriedly walked in, "Report to the division commander." The Taiwan Intelligence Station of the Intelligence Department sent an urgent telegram, "Tang Qiuli Chapter 1281

When the Japanese Third Fleet came, he took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning, and said, "No way, this Ito, don't let us stop, let's go on." No one should go back, and then the meeting will be held, Xinlan, tell the cooking class, prepare today's breakfast, and I will entertain the commanders. ”

Liu Xinlan agreed, turned around and went out, and the people who were about to disperse. Back in his seat, Yu Deshui also found a seat to sit down, and looked at Tang Qiuli. The telegram that can make the division commander frown will not be a trivial matter, could it be that there are new changes in the Japanese army?

The intelligence marked with three red "A" in Tang Qiuli's hand, representing the highest top secret level, was both unexpected and unexpected by him, "The headquarters, the Taiwan intelligence station learned that yesterday afternoon, all ports in southern Taiwan. They were all blockaded by the Japanese military police, and the local employees in Taiwan were all ordered to go home and taken over by Japanese employees. ”

"By 4:20 p.m., a large number of Japanese warships had sailed into the ports, which had been confirmed by our intelligence officers several times. It is the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, and its flagship "Asahi" is now moored in the port of Kaohsiung for replenishment, and a large number of civilian ships have entered the port for replenishment. ”

The Japanese army reinforced the Yangon battlefield, which was expected by Tang Qiuli, and he also gave the Japanese such an opportunity, how much the Japanese army increased, Tang Qiuli would not worry, even if there were two or three hundred thousand people, the ** division troops on the periphery of Yangon were still in an advantageous position in terms of strength and firepower, besides, with so many troops, transport ships were an unsolvable problem.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli judged that the increase in the Japanese army would not exceed 150,000 men of the five first-class divisions, but the arrival of the Third Fleet at the same time surprised him, if it was to escort troop carriers, more than ten warships would be sufficient, and there was no need for the Third Fleet to go out, and moreover, the flagship of Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, also appeared in Kaohsiung Port at the same time, which was extraordinary.

The point is, what is the purpose of the Japanese army's dispatch of the Third Fleet to the battlefield in Rangoon? This Third Fleet, which is the main fleet of the Japanese Navy, has three aircraft carriers, "Yunhui, Yunxiang, and Yunteng", with about 190 carrier-based aircraft, in addition, there are more than 70 warships of various sizes, and it is also the main fleet among the world's navies at that time.

After reading the information, Tang Qiusheng thought for a while and said: "This Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, is an old acquaintance, and he has fought each other, and he is very arrogant," Chang Feng also nodded.

Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng were no strangers to Hasegawa Kiyoshi, and at the time of the Second Battle of Songhu, Tang Qiusheng, then the commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, and Chang Feng, chief of staff, led all the main field brigades of the Corps to participate in the Battle of Songhu.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese army, the Shanghai defender position of the Central Army was in a sea of fire, almost razed to the ground, and the soldiers were flying with flesh and blood and heavy casualties.

The Second Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps also suffered a little loss under the hands of the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, but the casualties were much smaller than those of the Central Army; after that, at the Wusongkou Fort, the Air Defense Brigade of the Corps directly engaged the fleet, and at the cost of several hundred casualties and more than 10 shore guns, it achieved the record of sinking one Japanese medium-sized warship and damaging two, so that Matsui Shigen's plan to land at the Wusongkou Fort stopped outside the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The information was circulated in the hands of several corps commanders, and Tang Qiusheng briefly introduced the situation of the Third Fleet, and several other corps commanders were not familiar with the Third Fleet that suddenly appeared, so they had no way to talk about any opinions.

Tang Qiuli looked at Colonel Yu Deshui, director of the Intelligence Division, and asked, "Director Yu, Taiwan Intelligence Station, is there any follow-up information?" Yu Deshui shook his head and replied: "Division commander, not yet, for the time being, but I have already issued an order, ordering the Taiwan intelligence station to find out the number, number, equipment, and name of the commander of the Japanese reinforcements at any cost, as well as the detailed information of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet. ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Director Yu, immediately order the Taiwan intelligence station to stop the operation of collecting the situation of the Japanese reinforcements, in doing so, the danger faced by the agents of the intelligence station is too great, besides, this information has clearly told us that we should know the information, there is no need to take any more risks." ”

Yu Deshui was puzzled, why did the division commander suddenly stop, this information, strictly speaking, is just an ambiguous content and of little value, if Yu Deshui is asked to assess the level of this information, I am afraid that it is not even two "A", at least, the details of the infantry reinforced by the Japanese army have not yet been clarified.

The reason why the three "A's" at the highest level were marked was because the division commander had been asking about this for the past few days, and he explained: "Division commander, this is the duty of our intelligence department, and we must provide the commander with information that can be used for decision-making, otherwise, it will be a dereliction of our duty." ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Deshui, the agents of the intelligence department have already done this, how many Japanese infantry comes, that officer commands, it doesn't matter how many artillery pieces and how many tanks, I can tell SΓΉ Ling, those who come will not refuse, the more the merrier, what's more, we already know that Hasegawa Kiyoshi is coming, this is enough, there is no need to take any more risks, go, carry out the order, and, in my name, reward all the personnel of the Taiwan Intelligence Station, specific material rewards, put forward a standard, I just sign." ”

Yu Deshui solemnly saluted, turned around and left, no one noticed, when Yu Deshui went out, he quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, choked his throat, he was moved, the division commander understands the difficulty and danger of engaging in intelligence work, and is unwilling to take risks for agents lurking in the wolf's den, doing so is to protect the agents, and it is the luck of all the personnel of the intelligence department, including themselves, to be under the command of such a commander.

Tang Qiuli saw that several corps commanders were thinking silently, got up, walked to the large military map of the Indochina Peninsula, opened the cover with a "swish", pointed to the location of Yangon and said: "It is expected that the Japanese army will increase the number of troops on the battlefield in Rangoon, the Japanese infantry don't have to care about him, we can eat as much as we come, and it is effortless, because the big net we have opened is just waiting for the fish to take the bait and surround the point to send reinforcements, and we are afraid of coming too much?" We've got this good tooth! Don't be afraid to hold on! ”

Everyone laughed, yes, with the strength of the four main corps of the ** division on the battlefield in Yangon, even if the little devil pours out the strength of the country, he will have to fight, and he will not launch a general attack on Yangon for a long time, besieging but not fighting, isn't he just waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese army? This was also the established battle plan, which destroyed all hopes of Ito and forced Ito to withdraw from Rangoon.

The atmosphere is relaxed, right, I'm afraid that he is a bird, a warship of little devils, can't run to land, right? Didn't we fight naval battles and land battles with the little devils, from the northeast to Burma, and in a few years, thousands of battles of all sizes, and the little devils took advantage? That time was not beaten to the point of being beaten and the soldiers were defeated.

Liu Xinlan looked at Tang Qiuli, who was heroic, radiant, and proud of the world, and her heart was full of waves, where did this man's confidence come from? He seems to have a magical charm that makes people involuntarily believe that following him, they can dominate the world.

Tang Qiuli naturally didn't know that Liu Xinlan was thinking carefully at the moment, and he continued: "The Japanese infantry can be ignored, then, there is only one question left, what kind of purpose does Hasegawa Kiyoshi's Third Fleet have to reinforce the Rangoon battlefield?" ”
