"Lao Ding, Brother Yunfei, now let us enter the South China Sea Base Area and the South China Base Area here. Q: Do we have the intention and strength to deal with the enemy on the South China Sea Island? What do the two guys think? "Ahh

When the army marched to Beihai, Gao Jianwu took a telegram and consulted with Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei.

When Gao Jianwu and the others set foot on the national territory, Major General Smith had to leave.

After all, he was only the chief of staff of the major general of the expeditionary force, and now after the expeditionary force returned home, the temporary subordination of the Allied forces no longer existed.

Fortunately, Gao Jianwu found him a good errand and asked Major Smith to continue to serve as the chief of staff in the Free Army of his new homeland.

This not only found a good backer for the Free Army, but also gave Major General Smith a big voice in the Allied Southeast Asia Command.

With Major General Smith in the Free Army, there is a stable channel for the replenishment of weapons and ammunition, otherwise it will be difficult to find a supply channel by relying on the Free Army and Gao Jianwu as soon as he leaves.

Although it is said that Gao Jianwu has left them with most of the Japanese weapons and ammunition that he has conquered in Southeast Asia, and the weapons of the five integrated divisions and regiments before and after, plus the ammunition are enough to fight a few tough battles, but this thing is one less fight, and it is not like Gao Jianwu can earn one or even more weapons and ammunition in one fight. Diaphragm

For both sides, this is a good choice for a win-win situation, and now the Free Army, which has been tempered by the fires of war, already has two attack groups that can be used to fight.

In addition, the main force of the little devils on the peninsula has been destroyed by Gao Jianwu. Now the scattered little devils hiding in the jungle exist in the form of a large team at most, and the little devils of this scale can be completely crushed by the Free Army.

So in the next step, the Free Army will clear the allies together to eliminate the little devils, and then return to Malaysia and Sumatra to guard against the attack of the little devils who have returned from Kalimantan.

It's just that now that the Allied air force and navy in Southeast Asia have the upper hand, it is not easy for the little devil to cross the sea.

The new home that Gao Jianwu has brought together can now get a period of respite and development.

In order to ensure one more choice, Gao Jianwu proposed to lay down the South China Sea Island occupied by the little devils, establish the South China Sea base area, and then lay down Yangcheng and establish the South China Sea base two new goals!

When necessary, they will go south from the South China Sea Island or the South China Base Area to supply and support the new homeland, and at the same time, the layout has already begun, and there is no strong territory and strength in the southern part of the organization, and the guerrillas scattered in the mountainous areas have only grown to a few hundred people at most, so it can be said that they are basically of little use. Diaphragm

For these strategic considerations, Gao Jianwu didn't think so much. But now that this issue has been raised, Gao Jianwu also understands that this matter is indeed worth staying for him to manage well.

Judging from the current surrounding situation, the enemy is all over the place, and even if the little devils on the Southeast Asian Peninsula have been beaten away, the main force of Luzon, Taiwan Island, and Nanyang Islands still has more than 400,000 troops, which is still strong compared to Gao Jianwu.

But if you keep more, there will be less Gao Jianwu can bring back, this is a strategic force, and Gao Jianwu is still very useful.

If possible, Gao Jianwu even wanted to bring them all back, so that he could launch a new campaign in the north.

In terms of organizational intentions, Gao Jianwu is basically clear now, and I feel that this is also very necessary. Although it is said that it does not have the strength, it is now carrying out a large-scale operation throughout the country.

But locally, a new round of layout must begin. Especially to take advantage of this high-profile killing back opportunity. Gao Jianwu can see opportunities along the way and open up new base areas.

After nearly a year of fighting side by side, Chu Yunfei has been engraved with the mark of the expeditionary force cluster on his body, and he can't go back, and now he has followed Gao Jianwu half-pushed. Diaphragm

It's not just that he has no way out now, it's certainly not that others won't take him in, but that they won't trust him anymore. Although he returned with an attack group, at least he could get the rank of division commander or above, but once the unit he brought back was controlled by others, he would be put on the shelf, and there would be no room for him to play again.

Chu Yunfei has been in the national army system for so long, of course, he knows very well what will happen to him in the national army in the future. With all this he did in the expeditionary force, and then he was confessing his loyalty, it was useless.

Unless he can be ruthless, stab his comrades fiercely, and leave a real vote, then there will be a new opportunity in that camp.

But Chu Yunfei is not a person who is bent on fame and fortune. In his opinion, the road Gao Jianwu is taking now is the path we should take for the rise of Shenzhou.

Gao Jianwu's overseas actions have paved the way for the development of China. In addition, Gao Dianwu intentionally or unintentionally revealed some of his development plans, as well as the technical research he is now carrying out.

Chu Yunfei's eyes were not blind, of course he knew that Gao Jianwu's things had far exceeded the limit of what any warlord could do in the past.

Not to mention that everyone treats each other with all sincerity in the army, the entire army is integrated, even if Gao Jianwu asks him to lead the troops now, it is unknown whether this army can follow him again. Diaphragm

I really appreciate Gao Jianwu's method of leading the team and training the team. Chu Yunfei deeply knew how much difference he had between him and them.

Being able to fight for righteousness and squandering money with Chu Yunfei is already the limit of what he can do, but here in Gao Jianwu, every soldier will be educated who they are fighting for in the future, and what are they fighting for?

Every fighter has his own firm belief in fighting. Even if Chu Yunfei knew all this now, but let him go back to the original system to lead the team, he couldn't do all this.

Because of the general environment, he can't implement his own ideas.

This is the reason why Chu Yunfei feels that he has no way out, he can only follow Gao Jianwu and go to the deepest level of the black, he can't leave the army, but he won't turn the army into a tool for personal and private fame and fortune.

In his mind, the country and the nation are still in the first place. The rest of the personal personal friendships between teachers and students, these are not the most important things for him, what Gao Jianwu wants to do now is almost the same as what Mr. wanted to do back then, strengthening the country and enriching the people is the most important thing that Chu Yunfei, Gao Jianwu and others who really have national feelings should do.

And now Gao Jianwu brought the two of them to discuss, not to discuss how to defeat them, but to choose one of them to stay and develop this base area. Diaphragm

In Gao Jianwu's view, although others are also very capable, they are about developing base areas. Now in the expeditionary force cluster, that is, Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei are the most suitable.

Of course, Chu Yunfei now knew Gao Jianwu's thoughts, but he didn't expect Gao Jianwu's trust in him to be so deep, you must know that this is a one-sided block, and a South China Sea Island is not small.

Staying here to develop, no matter which side it is, it is a prince, and the future development prospects are unlimited, not to mention the development of three or five years, Chu Yunfei is confident that the fifty or sixty thousand troops can be easily pulled up.

And these 50,000 or 60,000 are still real, they won't be like the national army's empty salaries, and 40,000 of the 50,000 troops are considered good. Think.

However, Chu Yunfei is not a hypocritical person, since Gao Jianwu trusts him so much, he will not say that I am not suitable for such a thing, but think carefully about who is more suitable to take on this role between him and Ding Wei.

"In this place, I personally suggest that Brother Yunfei stay as the builder of the South China Sea Base Area, there are two considerations, on the one hand, Brother Yun Fei has more relations with that side, and the South China Sea Base Area is separated by a strait from Gui Province, and the two sides need a good coordination to develop this base area well.

At this time, it would be more appropriate for me to stay here than Brother Yunfei. Diaphragm

The second reason is that the Yunfei brother knows some foreign languages, and he has a lot of exchanges with Major General Smith, and he has a good relationship. Our opening up of the South China Sea base area is itself a precaution that one day, we can start from here to provide necessary support to the New Freedom Army, so at this time, we need the allies to do more communication on their side, and Brother Yunfei is also more suitable than me in this regard. ”

Ding Wei thought about it for a while, and recommended Chu Yunfei, in his mind, Chu Yunfei was already his own person, so he would not consider other aspects, only consider whether it would be the most beneficial to the development of this base area after staying.

After listening to Ding Wei's words, Chu Yunfei really admired these eight-way generals in his heart, and the height they occupied had already surpassed the limits of ideology.

At the same time, for those who trust, it is really undoubted.

"Brother Yunfei, what do you think yourself, if you are left behind, are you willing?" Gao Jianwu looked at Chu Yunfei and said softly.

"Since the two of them look up to Chu so much, then Chu is disrespectful. In terms of the organization of the South China Sea base area, you will send people to take care of it, and militarily it will be up to me. Leave one attack group, and within three years I will return 5 of you! Chu Yunfei is still very separate from the military and the government, and his statement separates himself from the suspicion of separatism among the princes.

】

"Once something happens over there in Nanyang. If I take the sea route, I will be there in two weeks. If it is by land, our army will float to the sea to Da Nang and go south, and at most it will be able to reach its new homeland in a month. Diaphragm

With the combat effectiveness of our army's three to four attack groups, with the support of the local people in Nanyang's new homeland, it can support at least three to five months, and it can hold out until the army goes south to rescue.

In this way, our plans in the South Seas will never be thrown lightly! ”

Chu Yunfei really knew very well about Gao Jianwu's strategic layout this time. With such a consensus, Gao Jianwu had no other words.

Although it is said that Chu Yunfei is not directly appointed by the top now. But Gao Jianwu can now act arbitrarily.

As long as he and Ding Wei discuss and agree, and jointly have a report to their superiors, the matter can be decided.

......

In the Qiongya detachment, Commander Feng received a contact telegram from the expeditionary force cluster, and at first he couldn't believe it. Diaphragm

However, after he sent a verification telegram to his superiors, he soon received instructions from his superiors to fully cooperate with the battle plan of the expeditionary force group.

Commander Feng was overjoyed at this time, it was really the organization that sent someone over.

Because their news is too closed, the expeditionary force has gathered many glorious battles, and they have not received them on the island, because the current public opinion on the island is almost controlled by the little devils.

It is difficult for them to find relatively new newspapers in other places, and most of them are hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests.

At present, only a low-power radio station is barely able to keep in touch with the outside world, and due to battery and mechanical failures, this contact is still intermittent, and there is no reliable regular contact at all.

When the contact was established, Commander Feng stumbled and still communicated the entire campaign plan with the expeditionary force in place.

Hundreds of guerrillas poured out of their nests and began to rush to the designated area. Diaphragm

......

Major General Taiji Ota, commander of the Nanhai Island Garrison Command, was a little irritable; according to the reconnaissance report of the air force's reconnaissance unit, the expeditionary force group had already deployed on the opposite shore to show signs of attacking the island, and on the other side, they had not only concentrated about 300 large and small fishing boats, but also the air force of the expeditionary force had constantly dispatched fighter planes to reconnoiter and even bomb their defensive positions in Qiongshan.

As the first person in charge of the entire Nankai Island, Taiji Ota is a major general of the Marine Corps, and now commands the three main forces of the 4th Special Marine Corps of Yokosuka Town Guard, the 6th Special Marine Brigade of Kure Port Town Guardhouse, and the 8th Special Marine Brigade of Sasebo Town Guardhouse, as well as the local garrison gendarmerie brigade.

The total strength is more than 20,000 troops, and the actual mobile force that can be used is more than 10,000 troops of the three special marines. With this force against the expeditionary force cluster, Taiji Ota was extremely uneasy in his heart.

He was not as knowledgeable as Commander Feng was about the expeditionary force cluster. Since the expeditionary force cluster appeared on the islands of Southeast Asia, it has simply been the natural enemy of their locust army, and it has broken more than 200,000 locust troops before and after.

This is already more than the number of people who were annihilated by the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army on the mainland.

This reassures Major General Taiji Ota. Diaphragm

The three main forces were put by him within ten kilometers of Qiongshan to defend with all their might, and the only two destroyers, Taiji Ota did not dare to send out to attack with confidence, because the enemy's air force was unscrupulous and circulated in the air.

The air force was even more miserable, with Taiji Ota having only a few Type 97 fighters and reconnaissance planes in his hands, and he had no strength to engage in a dogfight with the air force of the expeditionary force.

"The report, the 4th Special Marine Corps, reported that in their presence, about 100 fishing boats have been found, suspected of being enemy attacks."

"Report, the 6th Special Marine Corps reported that in their presence, more than 100 fishing boats were also found, suspected of being an enemy attack."

As the intelligence officer continued to report on the enemy's situation, Major General Taiji Ota was even more annoyed, and these people were really coming for him.

Taiji Ota stood up, pasted a small flag on the sea area opposite the intelligence troops, and after thinking carefully for a while, he always felt that there was still something wrong with it, the enemy came directly at his position, whether it was a little unreasonable in his opinion, at least the enemy had the air force to reconnoiter the defensive position on his side, they should be clear.

For fishing boats like this, which are completely incapable of fire defense, the artillery and machine guns in the defensive positions will definitely suffer heavy casualties once they fight, and the enemy is not so stupid that it is impossible to launch such a suicidal attack. Diaphragm

If this is the case, then why would the enemy launch such an attack?

There must be deception in this.

Major General Taiji Ota collected his mood and began to think about the enemy's countermeasures with all his might. If he hasn't figured it out yet, please come to report the new battle situation before the key.

"Report that the 4th Special Marine Corps found 8 enemy Mustang fighters in person, and also found 8 enemy Mustang fighters in front of the 6th Special Marine Corps!"

Is this ready for real? Taiji Ota suddenly felt in his heart, the enemy's fighter planes were definitely not hanging out at this time, but rushing at their own coastal defense front!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Taiji Ota to receive the news that the front line was bombed, and these two fleets must have an enemy attack fleet!

Taiji Ota judged. In his head, he quickly thought about which fleet he should attack first, and in his opinion, both were suspicious, but he only had two destroyers at hand, and he had to quickly defeat one of the enemy's fleets and retreat to the protection of the anti-aircraft gun positions in the harbor before the enemy air force re-attacked! Diaphragm

There is only a small time difference in between, and if he makes a mistake in judgment, Taiji Ota will lose the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy on the sea.

After all, on the sea, the enemy's fishing boats were passively beaten.

"Order Mankomaru Katsuragi Maru to attack the 4th Special Marine Team in front of the enemy, be sure to sink every enemy fishing boat, and let them all go to feed the fish!" Taiji Ota thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

Near the 4th Special Marine Corps is the relatively sparsely defended Chengmai Bay, with many fewer batteries and anti-aircraft guns, while in the main port area of Qionghai Bay near the 6th Special Marine Corps, there are many batteries and anti-aircraft guns, which can be called the strongest defense, and the enemy is likely to be a false shot.

Sure enough, when the order was given by Taiji Ota, the 6th Special Marine reported that the enemy aircraft had disappeared into the sky.

When Taiji Ota received the news, he wiped the sweat from his forehead first, and now he just won the direction of the bet, but the specific battle still has to wait for the battle between Mankomaru and Katsuragi Maru.

The 8 fighters that disappeared into the sky also gave him a bad prediction. Diaphragm

When the two ships drove a few kilometers out of the port, the vanished Expeditionary Force Mustang fighter suddenly appeared near the two ships!

"Air defense counterattack alert!" The captain of the little devil was nervous, for them, in addition to encountering battleships, it was the worst to encounter the bombing of air force fighters.

And in comparison, the speed of the Air Force fighters is fast, so they have no way to dodge, and they are like natural enemies.

There is a Type 89 127 mm anti-aircraft gun on the Wanguang Maru and Katsuragi Maru ships, which can theoretically hit an altitude of 7,000 meters, and there are 4 triple Type 96 25 mm anti-aircraft guns.

At this moment, the little devils ran to the position one by one and began to load ammunition and other front-loading operations.

The little devil with a mourning belt on his head looked at the long-range Mustang fighters in the sky, and his faces showed fierce light.

In the air, Lu Xingguo led two elite flying teams to carry out the mission of sinking the little devil ship. Diaphragm

Although we don't have much practical experience, the basic principles are still very clear. They quickly calculated the speed of the ships below and the amount of advance in which to drop the bombs.

Although the enemy's ships had anti-aircraft guns, with the aiming ability of anti-aircraft guns of this era, they could not shoot down a fighter without 3,000 rounds.

So even if it's to lower the altitude of flight. The probability of being hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire is actually not high. For the accuracy of the bombing, Lu Xingguo lowered the flight altitude to around 2,000 meters.

The fighter turned and dived down from behind Wanguang Maru, at this angle was a small blind spot position of the little devil anti-aircraft gun, Lu Xingguo kept approaching, and finally dropped the bomb on the prefabricated time!

The bomb whistled and flew towards Wanguang Maru, and after Lu Xingguo threw the bomb, he pulled up the nose of the plane to the left and swept it over, not providing much opportunity for the little devil's anti-aircraft firepower at all. Then turn to fly behind the formation, waiting for the second chance to throw.

If you want to hit a destroyer of more than a thousand tons at this altitude, the difficulty is not ordinary.

What's more, Wanguang Pill also began to frantically dodge tactics below, and Lu Xingguo's first round of bombing really slipped down on the sea on the side of Wanguang Pill and exploded into a splash! Diaphragm

However, immediately after the second and third fighters continued to drop bombs, Manko Maru was finally hit, blowing up a big hole in the front deck, and dumbing out the 127-mm anti-aircraft guns in front, and the little devils of the entire artillery crew were basically reimbursed.

With the dumb fire of the main anti-aircraft cannon of the little devil, Lu Xingguo's bomber machine gun is getting lower and lower, and the hit rate is getting higher and higher, 8 fighters have completed two rounds of bombing, and after Wanguang Pill was hit by 4 bombshells, he basically lost his combat ability, and one of the chimneys of the power system was also thrown in, and the boiler inside was reimbursed!

At this time, Lu Xingguo's formation began to organize the team to return.

When Katsuragi Maru saw Wanguang Maru's appearance, he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked for instructions to retreat, but when he came out, he had no chance, and another expeditionary force air force formation hidden in the clouds had already swooped down under the call and carried out a round of bombardment of Katsuragi Maru.

At present, the air force of the expeditionary force has a group of 100 fighters, and it has long had a complete set of operational plans for the enemy's reconnaissance and attack along the way.

The two warships on the South China Sea Island have long been in the range of annihilation, and today's fishing boat brigade set off in a big way, not only acting as a suspicious soldier, but also acting as a bait.

A whole 5 formations came towards the little devil coastal defense and two warships, and at this moment there were still two formations above the clouds in the sky waiting for combat orders. Diaphragm

If the third formation can't solve it, the fourth and fifth formations will continue to relay, and these two little devil ships that pose the greatest threat to the sea-crossing operation must die!

......

Qiongya detachment.

The two main battalions, which were day and night, were now lurking near the northern Lingao coastline, and they began to establish defensive positions within 1 kilometer of the beachhead.

This is the real landing point for the attack cluster.

More than 200 sailing ships with a deadweight of 50 or 60 tons took advantage of the night to come straight from the sea to the high coastline.

These fishing boats are none other than Chu Yunfei's second attack group! Diaphragm

At this moment, Chu Yunfei and Gao Jianwu were sitting on the first big fishing boat, which was made of iron and had a load of 200 tons, 18 75mm howitzers and 4 105mm howitzers were disassembled and loaded on it, and it could also carry nearly 100 artillerymen.

Since he did not receive feedback from the intelligence system, Gao Jianwu was sure that there would be no large-scale interception this time.

What's more, he also deployed a receiving force near the landing coastline. From the current point of view, there has been no reaction from the receiving troops, which proves that it is relatively safe in this area.

After all, now the main force of the little devils is contained off the coast of Qiongshan, and the only two destroyers were killed by the air force during the day today, in the eyes of the little devils.

This time, Gao Jianwu and the landing place they chose should still be on the coast of Qiongshan. It's just that this time Gao Jianwu did the opposite.

And this time, taking advantage of the high tide, Gao Jianwu asked the troops to set off at night. This reduces the risk of detection. After all, fighting at sea, these fishing boats simply have no ability to resist.

Even if he has the support of the air force now, he can actually win the battle by forcibly crossing the coast of Qiongshan. But Gao Jianwu is now fighting a war that pursues zero casualties and low casualties. Diaphragm

It won't fight hard with the little devil at all, after all, its combat mode is basically insolvable for the little devil and can be solved with artillery fire, and it will definitely not let the infantry charge.

The sea distance of more than 30 kilometers is like a nightmare for those seasick soldiers, but for Gao Jianwu, it is a flash.

"Brother Jianwu, your body is indeed very strong. Brother heard that you are also from the north, why don't you get seasick at all? Chu Yunfei vomited twice, and after spitting out all the things in his stomach, his face turned pale, looking at Gao Jianwu beside him, there was nothing wrong at all, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Seasickness has little to do with whether the body is strong or not, it still depends on the individual's physique. I've been to Toyo before, and I didn't have much to do. Brother Yunfei's problem, going abroad in the future will be enough for you to be uncomfortable. Gao Jianwu looked at Chu Yunfei and said meaningfully.

Obviously, when Chu Yunfei stays here, there should be more opportunities to go to Nanyang, and in this case, taking a boat is inevitable, and Chu Yunfei will really suffer from it in the future.

"It's okay, I can't bear this little wind and waves, how can I face strong winds and waves in the future?" Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said.

"The hard work we left behind in the South Seas will certainly not be in vain. Brother Jianwu rest assured, brother will definitely take this to heart. "Ahh

"Brother Yunfei rest assured, in a few years, we will be stronger and have more opportunities for development. A new era is coming. In this new prosperous era, I hope that Brother Yunfei can spend it hand in hand with me. Gao Jianwu said.

He put Chu Yunfei here this time, in fact, he took a big risk. You must know that this attack group is a very strong force.

Without Gao Jianwu's approval, Chu Yunfei would no longer be able to take the second attack group away. After all, Chu Yunfei's ability to control this army has become weaker and weaker as Gao Jianwu's ideological work has been carried out.

What they want to follow is an invincible commander like Gao Jianwu, as well as getting the best equipment, building the strongest combat power, and winning the most powerful enemies.

......
