Major General Risuse personally came to greet the commander of the Southern Army. Since the Navy and Army could not reach an agreement on the distribution of the third one, they could only reach a consensus on the use of the target in the end, and finally achieved the "highly coordinated" combat plan of the Navy and Army. After all, their common enemy, is pushing the empire to hell. Although strategically, they deliberately ignored Chief Chu Tingchang (at high-level military meetings, they avoided mentioning Chief Chu Pavilion unless necessary), but in the campaign, neither the navy nor the army dared to be the slightest sloppy with Chief Chu Ting.

The general plan was for the Navy to go out and use the inland rivers that extend in all directions to transport nuclear bombs in accordance with the Army's intentions. The army was responsible for luring Chu Tingchang's troops into the explosion zone, and was responsible for data collection after the explosion and counterattack.

When Sakagaki was still in Singapore, he could not judge the general direction of Chu Tingchang's use of troops (Saigon or Dalat), so the nuclear bombs were transported to Saigon first, and then waited for information.

However, when Sakagaki got off the plane, the situation was already clear, and Zhou Youfu's three divisions had already launched an offensive in Dong Nai Province. Chu Tingchang did not go straight to Saigon, where the troops were weak. It is estimated that the enemy is already afraid of *, so he chose the inland area. This, of course, makes the tactical choice of * more demanding. After the battle broke out, the 106th Division collapsed at the touch of a button, and lost a wing commander in enemy fire. There are a few fewer preset explosion zones that can be selected by the General Staff.

Sakagaki arrived at the Navy's headquarters in Saigon, the former Governor-General's Palace of the French colonial authorities, for a military meeting. Saigon was quite peaceful, the Allied airfields in central Burma and Yunnan were out of reach, and the Allied spy network was exposed and destroyed in the Saigon Uprising that had just occurred.

The navy used all sorts of tricks to counteract the technical reconnaissance of the enemy that Makino insisted on existing. The bomb is currently hidden on a ship near Saigon. But Sakagaki was unimpressed, and after the successful explosion in Indonesia, he was not too suspicious of Makino and did not buy it.

"What the hell is the Navy doing?" Sakagaki, who had just sat down, suddenly became difficult, "I thought that when I got off the plane, everything was ready, but the whole deployment was exactly the same as when I got on the plane in Singapore." ”

"Your Excellency, our biggest problem at present is that Army 106 Ishihara was defeated too quickly in Dong Nai, and the original preset battlefield has been lost, making the Ah and Wu plans lose the significance of implementation."

Major General Rise was also unambiguous, and immediately gave Sakagaki a soft nail and lightly shifted the blame to the army.

"Why is 'that thing' still on the Saigon River?" Within the Japanese army, they did not seriously give the nuclear bomb a code name, but simply called it: "that thing". It seems a bit self-defeating.

"Report to Your Excellency, because our superiors believe that we should try to keep it as secret as possible, and we must beware of enemy spies, so ...... Don't act rashly. ”

"So you're just carelessly missing the opportunity? I don't know what you're worried about, the enemy's intentions ......" he walked towards the map, "their intentions are already obvious, which is to capture Dalat." This thing must be 'deployed' before they do. ”

"It's hard to get the most out of it. Zhou Youfu is notoriously elusive, most of the time, his forces are very scattered, usually there are several troops acting at the same time, and the main force of each road may only be a regiment-sized force, followed by a long formation. This makes it unsuitable for the use of such ammunition with a lethal power of 1.5 km. If we deploy such a precious weapon in the direction of his attack at will, I am afraid that we will only be able to destroy one or two thousand people in the end. ”

"I studied Zhou Youfu's tactics," Sakagaki disdains to interrupt Vice Admiral Risuse, who is tired of the admirals breaking land tactics in front of him, even though Risse does have the ability to do so. At the end of 1937, he commanded a 1,400-man Marine Corps in Shanghai, against three German armourers, and did not fall behind at all.

"Chu Tingchang's mobile combat has its own rules, you can't guess the timing of his dispersion and concentration of troops, it's just that you don't understand the art of war."

"Oh?"

"I'm on the plane, and I've chosen a new preset position."

Sakagaki proudly pointed out the place he had found on the map, Yong'an.

"But this place, has already been lost by the Army? Two hours ago, Chinese troops had already appeared near Zhi'an Lake. ”

"Then go behind them. Zhou Youfu's rear was quite empty, and we went north to find a place to land near their supply line. ”

"Login?"

"Yes, in the ancient art of war, the so-called attack must be saved, this is the most effective. Just use your left battalion corps. ”

"Your Excellency, please go on." Risuse seems to have heard some doorways.

"Just attract his three divisions," he said, pointing out the location of Zhou Youfu's following troops on the map, "they will subconsciously counterattack, and the enemy's several divisions will spread out around us, encircle us, and deploy denser echelons in depth." And then...... Hehe, measure the radius with your rulers. See how many enemy forces we can cover. ”

"This ......"

There was silence in the room. Everyone was racing to think about the plan that Sakagaki had conceived on the plane, which seemed like a perfect plan to send a nuclear bomb to Chu Tingchang's mouth and knock out his best few teeth.

The so-called attack will save it, and the enemy can hardly resist it. Of course, if the enemy does not take the bait, he can also take advantage of the open river to quickly send the nuclear bomb back, and at the same time, the army can counterattack from Dalat and recapture Dong Nai province. The only problem is that with the troops going north from Saigon, they will be in a desperate situation. Zhou Youfu's tank can quickly occupy the coast, no need to build any fortifications, only the firepower of the tank itself, and the river can be blocked. The battles in Cambodia have proven that enemy tanks can quickly block river transport more than 300 meters wide.

"Perhaps, we can send a brigade of 500 people to complete this task." Rear Admiral Risuse said with a bargain.

"No, Zhou Youfu's automobile regiment has considerable combat effectiveness, only 500 people, far from enough, they must be made aware of the threat before the whole division can come back to help, so your troops here must be fully invested."

"Let 4,000 people be bait? When that thing explodes, they will get closer to it than the Chinese troops. ”

"But it's 'them' who die, not us." Sakagaki doesn't care. Apparently he meant that all the people killed were Chinese.

"But there are still 600 Japanese soldiers in the left battalion of the navy."

"This is a necessary loss. This is the only way to do this before our planes can't throw such a heavy *. As for the Taiwanese, it is far better to die like this than to grow sugar cane, and they will feel honored for their contribution to the war. Risuse-kun. The base camp was keen to collect data on the blockade of the tank offensive by the explosion, as well as an assessment of the blow to the car transport convoy 2 kilometers away. Whatever one may say, this is the right place to be. ”

"And one more question...... "Major General Risase still looked hesitant, "send out the troops here, then who will defend Saigon?" Inside and outside the city, there are also a large number of Vietminh people who are hiding; There are also the French troops, who have largely not disarmed their French troops in the south, and it is rumored that they have been in contact with de Gaulle's men lately, and it is difficult to say what will change. ”

"Your navy is really elm heads."

"What?"

"Let your Left Battalion do this," Sakagaki looked at his watch, "and it will take 30 hours to prepare the ships, enough for you to get rid of the French." At present, there is a shortage of supplies, so don't allocate ammunition, let them solve it with bayonets. ”

Sakagaki's vicious plan quickly dominated the meeting, so there was not much struggle, and the navy decided to cooperate. Being able to eliminate Zhou Youfu's main force means that Chu Tingchang has lost an arm, and anyone will calculate this account.

Qin Xiaosu took the radio and followed Ho Chi Minh's troops along the Mekong tributaries to the south. With the cooperation of the Viet Minh's guerrillas, the intelligence gap after the departure of 419 was finally partially compensated. But it's not without its problems. The level of the guerrilla intelligence personnel is uneven, most of the information (9 percent) is unreliable, and the enemy's numbers, weapons, marches, and other information are very chaotic and contradictory, and it is necessary to repeatedly cross-check in order to screen out the effective parts. Intelligence analysis has become a challenge. Now Lin Xiuxuan's team is scattered into several groups, going to different intelligence sources to verify and analyze the actual intelligence.

They used the inland river rubber motorboats provided by the US military and used the dotted hubs and rivers to shuttle through the chaotic defense zone of the Japanese. Now the rule of the Japanese army in South Vietnam has collapsed, and all forces have stepped in, leaving Saigon, and the Japanese are almost nowhere to be seen. In these areas, Ngo Dinh Diem's troops fought fiercely with the Vietminh, while the French did not move.

At night, Qin Xiaosu's small boat came out of the ditch and approached to observe the enemy's mobile fleet. It can be seen that a large number of motorized sailing boats with a very shallow draft are docked on the shore, and Japanese troops are embarking. It seems that the Japanese army in Saigon is going to use the river network to maneuver, and in terms of troops, the whole army is dispatched. But this is not the point of reconnaissance, he must find some clues related to nuclear bombs.

Eavesdropping on radio stations is his specialty, because the Japanese army is equipped with a large number of walkie-talkies within visual range, so he must get close to a kilometer or two to eavesdrop on enemy conversations, but this time it is not too difficult to monitor, because he can hear a lot of Chinese. The main force of the Japanese army in the left battalion of the Marine Corps was Taiwanese volunteers, and many Taiwanese served as squad commanders, and when they communicated with each other, they would leak Chinese. In fact, in the past year, Qin Xiaosu's Japanese level has improved very quickly, and it is not a problem to eavesdrop on Japanese, but he does not understand the Japanese spoken by Taiwanese people.

He heard the enemy talking about the big operation at night, and several troops waiting to board the ship suddenly received orders to make a temporary move, so they secretly tracked the enemy's temporary assembly place according to the clues he heard. only to find that it may not be what he imagined.

The Japanese mobilized seven or eight hundred men and surrounded the nearby French military camp at night. And machine guns were erected around it. The last time the Japanese massacred the French army was only half a month ago, and later gave assurances to the Vichy government that it would not happen again, but it seems that the Japanese assurances were only words.
