The large-scale mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops involved five corps and 20 brigades, a large number of weapons and equipment, the transportation vehicles and dispatches needed, the arrangement of transportation routes, and logistical support.

Fortunately, according to the order of division commander Tang Qiuli, the troops of these 20 brigades did not have to carry heavy equipment and armored vehicles to form a light infantry brigade, which greatly reduced the pressure on the logistics department.

**The division's big move made Ito Yanzaburo, who was cowering in the vicinity of Singapore, panicked, thinking that Tang Qiuli was going to make the last death hand to himself, and sent several telegrams a day to ask for help from the mainland, and the purpose of asking for help was only one, to send ships and pick up the rest of the army to return to the mainland.

Later, seeing the troops of the ** Division gathered on the front line of Kuala Lumpur, they did not strangle their own movements, and their trembling hearts were carefully put back into their stomachs little by little, and they looked at the troops of the ** Division with fear and suspicion, and strictly restrained their subordinates, without any provocative moves.

Seeing the same action, General MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US military in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, was confused, and he couldn't guess what this "Chinese" was going to do. Isn't it just Hainan Island, tens of thousands of people who are guilty of such a stirring up and making a big move? Tang Qiuli is either crazy or has too much energy?

These are not MacArthur's most concerned issues, that "Chinese" people love to toss, just let him toss, you can drive hundreds of thousands of "days" himself to his doorstep. Instead of continuing to fight, he transferred a large number of troops to the north, which MacArthur absolutely could not tolerate, and this was what he was most worried and feared about.

Put hundreds of thousands of wounded tigers and wolves. The Japanese soldiers, who could break out at any time and hurt people, could not sleep peacefully at any time, and MacArthur, who was cunning and cunning, was even more so worried all day long, and he was on the line from the Strait of Malacca to the Andaman Sea. After a series of fiascos, his contact with the day himself has been severed.

It was not that MacArthur took the initiative to abandon this line, but that he himself no longer wanted to deal with him, and Chief of Staff Stilwell reconciled with Tang Qiuli, although in exchange for a sincere telegram from him, this telegram could be judged according to MacArthur's habit of thinking and his nature of habitual use of intrigue and trickery. It may not have much practical significance for the security of Americans in the South Pacific.

Now that he has adopted Stilwell's construction, he has given up the practice of stepping on two boats. The best outcome is that the military power of the "Japan" himself will completely disappear in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region, and the "Japan" himself will be completely wiped out in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and it will only be in line with his heart to die cleanly, and he will retreat to the second, which is MacArthur's idea of maximizing the interests of the Americans under the circumstances that MacArthur cannot choose.

But now, the ruthless facts have shattered his beautiful illusions again. After advancing to the Kuala Lumpur line, the troops of the ** Division, which was advancing all the way and making the Japanese themselves urinate, stopped fighting, and adopted a posture of confrontation with the Japanese army. MacArthur, who received the information, was stunned for a moment, and then became furious.

completely devoid of gentlemanly demeanor, the demeanor of an American general, like a shrew, scolded Tang Qiuli in front of dozens of subordinates, and after smashing an antique, MacArthur sat down on the sofa like a deflated ball, leaving a group of subordinates looking at each other.

MacArthur's troubled heart is incomprehensible to anyone, playing around, playing with hundreds of thousands of aggressive, turning their faces and denying people, to their own doorstep, and Tang Qiuli beat him all over the body, will he be more ferocious, more irrational, or even desperate? A: Yes.

MacArthur never thought that the "Day" himself, who was helpless against Tang Qiuli, would not do it to himself, and had dealt with the "Day" himself for many years, although the Americans did not suffer losses, but they also knew the temperament of the "Day" himself, their eyes and attention were focused on the good things of other people's homes, and when they encountered a tough opponent who could not beat them, they would shift their attention to the weak target.

Unfortunately, MacArthur believes that in terms of current strength, he is the weak target, in other words, he is the master of the bully, MacArthur in addition to extreme fear, there is also an element of annoyance and anger in it, he believes that the Chinese people do not pay attention to faith, do not fulfill the obligations of the alliance and mutual assistance agreement, and are suspected of causing trouble, this is what he said to his subordinates.

In fact, MacArthur was very sure that Tang Qiuli was doing such a despicable thing, and in the telegram to Tang Qiuli, he disclosed his true thoughts: "General Tang Qiuli, deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Southeast Asia and South Pacific Theater, has made a meritorious record in the Battle of Rangoon, and the general's troops have achieved brilliant results. ”

"However, after the general's troops advanced to Kuala Lumpur, they suddenly stopped advancing, and more than 100,000 ferocious Japanese soldiers were able to survive in the area of Singapore, which is what I am very puzzled about. In the name of the First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Theater of Operations, I urge the General to immediately attack the Japanese troops on the front line in Singapore, so that the situation in Southeast Asia can be restored to calm at an early date! ”

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli said to Tang Qiusheng with a smile: "Brother Qiusheng, this Yankee is restless, more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers are under his nose, I estimate that MacArthur must be protected by guards even when he goes to the toilet." ”

Tang Qiusheng looked at the telegram, shook his head speechlessly, and said with a lot of disdain in his expression: "The Americans are never willing to suffer losses, take advantage of it, by the way, division commander, how are you going to send MacArthur back to the telegram, it is inappropriate not to reply, spread it, we will fall into passivity, although we are not afraid, it is better not to have trouble." ”

Tang Qiuli smiled sarcastically and said: "You have to have the consciousness of asking for people, you look at MacArthur, it is full of threats and intimidation, and finally he took out that worthless official hat to press me, I don't know if his brain is in the water, or I look at it, he did the first year of junior high school, I can do fifteen, and moreover, to double, even thirty have been done." ”

He said to Chen Feng, director of the communications department: "Director Chen, record the telegram, General MacArthur's honor, because the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet and army reinforcements joined the Rangoon battlefield along the Strait of Malacca, which changed the battlefield situation, resulting in the most fierce battle in Rangoon. ”

"After that, immediately pursued the Japanese troops fleeing south, and there were many fierce battles, with the current morale and strength of the troops, the consumption of heavy ammunition, and the inability to continue to maintain the offensive posture, plus the troops of our ** division, since entering the Indochina Peninsula, have always been in continuous operations, the troops have not been rested, and the troops are in a state of extreme fatigue."

"In this case, we can't fight again, I myself have a practical plan, the U.S. military units, always in a state of recuperation, why not command the elite division, cross the sea to the north, attack the Japanese troops who are tired soldiers, with the equipment level of the U.S. army and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, this battle will be a complete victory, my ** division troops, can also take the opportunity to go south, joint attack on the Japanese army under the city of Singapore, join the division of the Strait of Malacca, and create a good story of the allied forces! This battle can also make the general's prestige famous and famous all over the world, why not? ”

After listening to Tang Qiuli's dictated message, Tang Qiusheng almost burst out laughing and said, "Division commander, you are disgusting MacArthur to death, I don't know how this cunning American general feels?" Tang Qiuli just said, "Let him urinate, it's more worry-free to die of disgust!" ”

After reading Tang Qiuli's callback, MacArthur was not angry, opened his mouth, didn't say a word, his heart was hot, his throat and eyes were sweet "poof" A mouthful of blood, sprayed in the air, his eyes were black, he shook and fell to the ground, panicked so that the officers shouted and screamed, even shaking, and finally, MacArthur opened his eyes and said, "Devil, let God punish that hateful Chinese!" ”

Colonel Chutian, the leader of the special operations detachment, was about to accompany his lover Murong Xue to report to the Guangzhou Military Academy, and when he was packing his bags at his residence, he received a call from the division commander Tang Qiuli, and when Chutian arrived at the division headquarters, Tang Qiuli had no nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Chutian, the situation has changed, you accompanied Murong Xue on his trip to Guangzhou, I'm afraid it will be canceled, and the special operations detachment dispatched six detachments to follow me to Hainan Island." ”

Chu Tian replied without hesitation: "Immediately carry out the order of the division commander, the special operations detachment will participate in the combat detachment, and you can set off at any time" Looking at Chu Tian's resolute face, Tang Qiuli suddenly sighed and said: "Originally, there was no task for your special operations detachment, but the battle of Hainan Island was not ideal, the terrain conditions were extremely complicated, and the marines were not suitable for the battlefield conditions there, I need your eyes and ears." ”

"The first romantic trip ended like this, and I really couldn't go away! But you explain to Miss Murong that after the fight on Hainan Island, I will give you a long vacation for a month, and in addition, I will send a few special guards to escort Murong Xue to Guangzhou to report, you can rest assured. ”

Chu Tian is not good at expressing his emotions in words, he just shook his head firmly, showing his inner thoughts, Tang Qiuli patted Chu Tian on the shoulder, did not say anything more, on New Year's Day 1941, Tang Qiuli flew to Hainan Island with a capable command organ.
