Chapter 430: Voluntary resignation
"In the current Pacific theater, the Japanese navy has begun to decline. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Kuah Island, the Americans had already taken advantage and began a total attack in the Pacific. And the defeat of the Japanese * Honko Navy is only a matter of time. If we kill both the aircraft carriers "Shozuru" and "Zuizuru" of Japan* himself. Then, the strength of the Japanese navy will once again be severely damaged, and this will be very unfavorable for the Japanese themselves to continue to fight against the Americans in the Pacific.
The aircraft carrier "Shozuru" and "Zuizuru" are both the main aircraft carriers of the Japanese navy. We sank one and damaged another, which is already a heavy blow for the Japanese navy. At the same time, you can also let Ri* himself know that we are not easy to bully. Their navy, it's better not to send them to the South Seas again. Otherwise, we can get rid of their fleet once again.
Let the Japanese themselves drag the Americans in the Pacific Ocean, so that not only the Americans, but also continue to support us. It can also make the Americans turn a blind eye to our occupation of the South Seas. After all, if there is a common enemy, the Americans, will not turn against us. After all, in that case, it is a matter of pleasure for those who do their relatives to bitter their enemies.
It was for these reasons that I ordered the pursuit of the Japanese aircraft carrier "Shozuru" to be stopped. ”
Qin Shou explained in detail the reason why he issued such an order, which can be regarded as allowing these generals to have a relatively clear understanding of the current situation and the relationship between the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the United States. Just because the Americans support us so much does not mean that we will listen to them for everything. In that case, if they are sold by the Americans, they will be counted for money. Americans, after all, are businessmen, and everything is in their own interests. They can vigorously support the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but at the same time, they can also betray the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army for their own interests.
Qin Shou's words were undoubtedly a great shock to these generals. Let these generals lead their troops to fight, maybe there is no problem. But let them think about it, and they can't cope with it.
"I didn't expect there to be so many doorways here! I knew that the commander must have taken such an order into consideration. Zhang Erniu, commander of the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade, said. He is always unconditionally convinced of Qin Shou.
"Yes! I didn't expect that the Americans were not good birds either. I thought they would be kind enough to help us. It turns out that they are just using us as guns. The other generals also came to their senses.
"Commander, I'm sorry, I didn't understand your painstaking efforts and misunderstood you." Major General Liu Chengzhang, commander of the carrier-based aircraft unit, looked guilty. For the sake of the results of his troops, he questioned Qin Shou. Now it seems how ridiculous it is.
"Okay, Lao Liu, those who don't know are not guilty. Everyone thinks so, and it is also for the sake of the future of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Qin Shou said with a smile. He did not disagree with everyone because of the doubts of these generals. After all, everyone is thinking about the interests of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"By the way, the reason why we are doing this is absolutely to be highly secretive, so that the Americans cannot know about it. Otherwise, it will affect our current cooperation with the Americans. After all, now we do not have the capital to break away from the support of the Americans. It is very important for the Americans to continue to support us. Qin Shou said.
"Yes, Commander. Everyone knows that today's events will be kept secret. If anyone can't control their mouths and let the Americans know, then don't blame us for turning our faces and denying people. Lieutenant General Sun Changwu said.
Naturally, others said that today's incident would be kept strictly secret and would never let the Americans know about it.
"Commander, when the Americans ask, we can tell them that we sent P-51B fighters to reconnoitre, but we found no trace of the Americans, so we canceled the order to pursue. In this case, even if the Americans are a little dissatisfied, they will not be able to do anything about us. Lieutenant General Xu Huansheng, commander of the air force, said.
Qin Shou nodded: "Well, that's it." In any case, let the Americans know that we are sincerely fighting against the Japanese themselves. ”
The generals of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army immediately burst into laughter.
Although, it seems a little immoral to calculate one's allies in this way. But who in this world is not for themselves? As long as it is beneficial to fight against the Japanese National Salvation Army, no matter what kind of infamy it bears, it is worth it.
The carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese naval task force, not only sinking many Japanese warships, but also causing their support for the Japanese army in Bangkok to stop. And this is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Japanese Thai Front and even the entire Southern Army. After all, after losing the support of the navy, it was impossible for them to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army with only their tens of thousands of people. This has been proven by previous battles.
Even if the follow-up tens of thousands of reinforcements also arrived, it would just be for them to send food to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to increase the results of the war.
Lion City, the headquarters of the Japanese Southern Army, and the commander of the Southern Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, has been paying attention to the battle situation in Bangkok. The arrival of the Japanese naval task force relieved the siege of Bangkok, much to the satisfaction of Admiral Terauchi Shouichi.
Although, he pulled down his face and went to beg the Navy to send a fleet to help them. However, as long as the tide of the war in Bangkok and Thailand as a whole can change. Then, it's all worth it.
Just when General Terauchi Shouichi thought that the situation had been reversed. Soon, he knew that the situation had changed again.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the task force has been defeated. The aircraft carrier Zuizuru was sunk, the battleship Mutsuku was sunk, and the heavy cruiser Shozuru was heavily damaged. In addition, two heavy cruisers, a light cruiser and two destroyers were sunk. Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa, leading the remnants of the fleet, fled wildly. Lieutenant General Takahashitan, deputy chief of staff of the Southern Army, reported with a dejected face.
At this moment, General Terauchi Shouichi was completely stunned. Obviously, he has been completely devastated by this bad news. Maybe he didn't expect that defeat would come so quickly.
"I see. In my name, a telegram was sent to the base camp saying that I was in trouble with my health and that I could no longer hold the post of commander of the Southern Army, and that I would like to resign from the post of commander of the Southern Army. General Terauchi said with an expressionless face.
