"Commander-in-Chief Gao, Commander Chen sent the Fifth Division to transport away the Japanese weapons and ammunition of the 1 integrated division near Yiyang." Operations staff officer Lin Hai reported.

Gao Jianwu looked at the location of the Fifth Division on the map, nodded, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it can be regarded as a success in forcibly adding blood and blue to the surrounding friendly forces, and his flank must be more relieved in the future.

After opening up the connection with the Dabie Mountain base area, the Jianghan cluster began to connect with the surrounding friendly forces.

Gao Jianwu, who has always attached importance to the mutual cooperation of friendly forces, immediately telegraphed to Commander Chen to discuss the matter of coordinated operations between the two sides; although the two large base areas in the south and north of the Yangtze River on Commander Chen's side are also developing well, weapons and ammunition have always been the most important factor restricting their development.

After all, not everyone is open, and it is completely dependent on the capture of little devils and puppet armies to develop their own Chen army commanders, and life is relatively difficult in the various base areas at present.

Limited to the combat terrain and combat objects, it is more difficult for the current commander Chen to fight a big annihilation battle to obtain capture, after all, his own weapons and equipment are poor, and the reinforcement speed of the little devils with a good road network in the south and north of the Yangtze River is also very fast, and it is not easy to operate the little devils at the level of the annihilation squadron, let alone the little devils at the brigade level.

And in this time and space, after the rise of Gao Jianwu, because the distance was too far, he did not eat a wave of dividends from Gao Jianwu's development and expansion of the military industry.

】

Relatively speaking, in the past year or so, a batch of weapons and ammunition produced by the Jinyang Arsenal, especially 60-mm mortars and Type 43 assault rifles, have been obtained from various base areas around Shanxi, Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan.

These two kinds of weapons are powerful and relatively easy to transport, and they are a great enhancement to the guerrillas and main regiments that rely mainly on guerrilla warfare; after the guerrillas in these places are equipped with a certain amount of new weapons, the number of battles of annihilation against small devils at the squad and squadron level has increased many times at once.

So these troops are getting stronger and stronger.

The New Fourth Army is a little worse in terms of geography, and it didn't catch up with the first wave of dividends, but now that Gao Jianwu has hit the next door, he naturally won't lose them, he doesn't have much else in his hands, and there is really a lot of weapons and ammunition left over from the captured little devils.

From Hunan to Hankou, the main force of the little devils annihilated has more than a dozen divisions and regiments, and the expansion of more than a dozen garrison regiments and more than 30,000 new main forces on his side is less than half of it.

Now Gao Jianwu is so arrogant!

Of course, Commander Chen will not be polite, but there are only two divisions in the base area close to Gao Jianwu, which makes Commander Chen fall into happy troubles, and he first went to receive a wave of the fifth division near Yiyang, and took away the capture of the 101st Division, which is a reorganized division, so that the fifth division can gather most of the troops before transporting it back.

When they first discussed, they did not say that Gao Jianwu could still provide a large number of artillery, and gave 3 artillery battalions at once, a full 54 mountain artillery and infantry guns, and 3 base shells were given, which was a bit large, so that the five divisions could not take it away at one time for a while.

Later, a basic regiment was assembled, and a lot of carts, mules and horses were built, and then the artillery and shells were happily loaded.

All of a sudden, the five divisions are so rich!

When the news came out, the Second Division couldn't sit still even in Huainan, and concentrated the two main travel armies for hundreds of kilometers, alarming the little devils around them, thinking that they were going to do something big.

For a while, everyone in each small and medium-sized stronghold was in danger, but they didn't expect that the Second Division went directly to Dabie Mountain, and didn't even look at the various strongholds that were not blocked.

They finally joined forces with the Kong Jiebu who had opened up here, and after receiving the weapons of one brigade and regiment that had just been wiped out from the Kong Jiebu, they also received a full set of Japanese weapons and several base ammunition from Gao Jianwu.

In terms of artillery, Gao Jianwu also gave 3 artillery battalions, which greatly expanded the strength of the second division at once, and Commander Chen's side made 2 super integrated divisions at once!

After receiving the goods, Commander Chen was so arrogant that he felt that he couldn't let the Fifth Division and the Second Division run so far in vain, so he simply asked them to prepare to launch a major counteroffensive in the Huaihai area.

The starting point is the Dabie Mountains where Yiyang and the Second Division will join Kong Jie, and prepare to take the Lianghuai into their hands with the left and right, and at the same time completely open up the strategic passage from the Lianghuai to the Dabie Mountain, establish a new Lianghuai base area, connect with the Jianghan cluster, and the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, and you can go directly to the harbor from Yiyang and Dabie Mountain!

It is equivalent to opening up another channel for Gao Jianwu's Nanyang material supply, although the transportation of this channel is quite a bit of a toss, but through the Huai River can directly reach Yiyang from the seashore, and then transfer to Hankou, compared to the Yangtze River waterway that has not been opened now, the reliability and capacity of this channel are relatively considerable.

Of course, Gao Jianwu strongly supported this plan, and directly sent part of the main force of Kong Jiebu and the main force of the air force to coordinate operations, on the one hand, to solve the threat of the local devil air force, and on the other hand, to participate in ground offensive and other combat missions.

Commander Chen, who received strong reinforcements, took the 2nd and 5th divisions as the two arrows, and began to concentrate the main force to launch a war of annihilation in the Lianghuai area.

With the support of more than 100 artillery pieces provided by Gao Jianwu, the siege ability of the second and fifth divisions increased dramatically, and the fifth division was north of the Huai River, Lianke Yingzhou (Fu/Yang), Suzhou, and the main force of the fourth division converged to threaten Xuzhou;

The second division was in the cooperation of Kong Jie's department, quickly captured Shouchun (Huai/Nan), Dangtu two big cities, the main force went south to attack the city, and the third division of the division pointed to Huaiyin, the two Huai land, every day the good news is frequent.

Since this operation was mainly encircled and annihilated, not only did they seize a large number of weapons and equipment of the little devils, but also rebelled against a large number of puppet armies, and constantly replenished the troops participating in the war.

Relying on the lucrative capture of this campaign, the Third and Fourth Divisions also became rich all at once, the strength of Chen's army commander swelled more than doubled, and the number of second-line troops reorganized and garrisoned by local garrisons also more than doubled.

Forcibly built a base area bordering Hubei, Henan, and Anhui in the east, and connected the new Lianghuai base area of the Qilu base area in the north, completely cutting off the Jinpu line, and the first division also strengthened its offensive in northern Jiangsu to prepare for connecting the two Huai base areas, and the strategic situation suddenly improved greatly, and at the same time provided strong support for Gao Jianwu's flank.

Now northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu have almost become the territory of Commander Chen, and the only threat on Gao Jianwu's east side is from the direction of Jinling and Modu.

Although there are still little devils in the big cities in the rest of the region, there are no five or six divisions of little devils with the support of a large number of air forces, and they don't dare to come to Hankou to touch Gao Jianwu's tiger butt!

Looking around, I feel like I can finally dive in and develop a wave now.

But Gao Jianwu did not expect that Major General Smith, who had not been in contact for some time, suddenly sent a telegram, inviting Gao Jianwu to Hong Kong and Kowloon to attend a high-level meeting of the Allied forces.

But Major General Smith did not say anything in the telegram what the meeting was for.

Whether this meeting will go or not, Gao Jianwu hesitated a little in his heart. After all, his allies are now far apart. Frankly, the primitive accumulation was complete, and he was now no longer dependent on the Allies and could continue to develop himself.

From this point of view, it is okay for him to go or not to go.

Gao Jianwu, who was sitting at the headquarters, repeatedly looked at the map, especially the southeast coast. I kept speculating about the purpose of this meeting of the Allies in my mind, and suddenly looked at the southeast with one foot, a little dazed.

A thought flashed through my head, and it became more and more crazy. Like a burning flame, it was out of control.

......

"Gao, I knew you were coming, and sure enough, I guessed right." Major General Smith embraced Gao Jianwu as enthusiastically as ever.

"Hello, John, long time no see!" Gao Jianwu also patted Major General Smith on the shoulder, after all, this international friend is simply a great fortune for the expeditionary force cluster, and in a very short period of time, he helped Gao Jianwu complete the primitive accumulation, although objectively Gao Jianwu has helped them attract and annihilate a large number of little devils, greatly reducing their casualties.

But Major General Smith's help to the expeditionary force cluster is also real, without Major General Smith's help, Gao Jianwu would not have been able to get so many weapons and equipment, this favor Gao Jianwu must be recognized.

"It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, but seeing your spirit as always, I'm relieved. High, this time, we have a chance to come to a big one. Major General Smith said mysteriously to Gao Jianwu.

Sure enough, I knew that this must be a new large-scale strategic plan for the allies, Gao Jianwu thought to himself, if he didn't guess wrong, he must have wanted to launch an island-hopping tactic now, and there were only a few targets to choose from.

Major General Smith didn't know that his simple appearance made Gao Jianwu think of a lot of things. On the one hand, this is due to Gao Jianwu's memory of history, and on the other hand, he also understands the high-level thinking of the beautiful country in this regard.

They are tired of fighting island by island in the Pacific Ocean.

This not only means that the casualties of the army are huge and protracted.

According to the original time and space, their patience will not last long, and they will soon release their ultimate ultimate move to end all this.

But in this time and space, Gao Jianwu wanted to change it.

After all, the timing of the final battle in the original time and space was very suitable for the beautiful country, and they reaped the greatest war dividends.

But this is not necessarily the case for Shenzhou, because the strength is too weak. As a result, a victorious country does not receive the respect it deserves, let alone a reasonable war dividend.

And now Gao Jianwu faintly feels that he has ushered in a major opportunity to change all this.

......

Stepping into the temporary headquarters of the Allied forces in Hong Kong and Kowloon, Gao Jianwu felt a dizziness of time and space confusion. Some characters who had only been seen in history books and movies suddenly appeared in front of him.

The five-star General Mike, the commander-in-chief of the Western Pacific, who had a pipe, the Admiral Lemon Barton, who always maintained an aristocratic demeanor in the Southeast Asian theater, the four-star General Steven, who had just been promoted, and a group of unnamed generals filled the conference room of the headquarters.

"General Mack, General Lemon Barton, General Steven, our distinguished guest, Commander Gao, has arrived!" Major General Smith walked into the conference room with Gao Jianwu and reported to the three Allied giants sitting in the middle.

"Welcome to Commander Gao, please be seated!" Admiral Mike nodded slightly, motioning for Gao Jianwu to sit in an empty seat second from him, while Major General Smith's position was obviously at the bottom.

In other words, Major General Smith turned out to be the lowest among these people, which shows the high standard of this meeting.

In the face of the generals and lieutenant generals in this room, Gao Jianwu did not have a little stage fright, and his performance was quite unexpected. For him, he is basically without desire for the Allied side now, so Gao Jianwu does not feel the need to lick these beautiful countries and giants with British military circles, which may be famous in history.

"Thank you General Mack for the invitation, but I don't have any military rank now, just call me Gao or Mr. Gao." Gao Jianwu replied politely.

Due to the refusal of the principal's arrangement of the Ninth Route Army, Gao Jianwu is still a black household now, including his Jianghan cluster, which is actually recognized within the Eighth Road, and there is not even a number outside, let alone a formally appointed military rank.

So in this group of generals, Gao Jianwu seems somewhat out of place.

"Commander Mack, I am a little sorry that we invited an outsider to a high-level meeting within our Allied Forces." Here, Gao Jianwu had just taken his seat, and a general with the rank of three-star lieutenant general jumped out and raised objections to General Mack's arrangement.

Obviously, some generals don't know Gao Jianwu, and they don't know anything about Gao Jianwu's past achievements.

Most of what they heard was the defeat of the Shenzhou soldiers all the way, and even the country was about to lose more than half.

"General Hill, if your 11th Army can complete the next mission, I will gladly end the meeting immediately and hand over the combat mission to you." General Mack stared at the lieutenant general named Hill and said in a slow voice.

"The person in front of you has already left a record of destroying more than a dozen divisions of little devils in the Southeast Asian Peninsula, General Hill, may I ask how many little devil divisions your 11th Army has killed so far?" General Steven on the side mended the sword.

General Hill lowered his head dumbly, obviously not expecting that Gao Jianwu would be such a god of war, able to kill a few little devil divisions in the beautiful country to be called a famous general, such a title of famous general is obviously not something he can afford.

The episode of General Hill made the generals who didn't know Gao Jianwu awe-inspired.

Sure enough, the people who can step into this room are not ordinary people, even if he has yellow skin.

"Oh high, it's just a trivial vignette detail. I'm sure you won't mind, compared to most of the people here, you are fully worthy of the title of a famous general. General Steven, who had a very good impression of Gao Jianwu, said with a smile.

"General Steven, recently Gao led the troops to annihilate more than ten little devil divisions, they annihilated the little devil 21st Army in South China, in Central China, the little devil 11th army has been crippled, and the little devil 12th army has been severely damaged, Gao is a well-deserved little devil nemesis general." Maj. Gen. Smith stood up and introduced General Steven's explanation.

After listening to the generals present, those who were not familiar with Gao Jianwu's faces changed one by one, some of them may have simply heard of Gao Jianwu's reputation, but those are all Southeast Asian achievements, thinking that Gao Jianwu won the battle with the cooperation of the allies, and there is the superiority of the allies, which can turn the little devil's heavy weapons into scrap metal, and it is not surprising for them to defeat such a little devil division.

After all, the generals and lieutenant generals who can sit here are all commanding an army or several armies, and who hasn't annihilated a little devil division. But they didn't expect that after returning home with the assistance of the allies, Gao Jianwu would still be able to annihilate the little devils who had become legions, which was not simple.

Those who have really fought with the little devils know that if there is no fire suppression by the air force and navy, as well as the weapons and equipment of the army far superior to the opponent, the confrontation of the army infantry under the same conditions is still a question of whether it can win the battle with 1 to 1 troops.

What is so magical about this Gao Jianwu, he can actually destroy the little devils in the army.

Now, no one dares to jump out and say that Gao Jianwu is not qualified to participate in this meeting. These people are old and sophisticated. As for the reason why Gao Jianwu was called over, they now know it.

If you can hit one person in this way, of course, it will be cost-effective to deal with those difficult little devils.

"Gao, I strongly invited you to this meeting" General Steven looked at the generals who had no more heads around him to stand up and object, and then said to Gao Jianwu with a smile.

"Our cooperation in Southeast Asia has been seamless, and now we are going to open the springboard for the offensive book, and I think in this great battle, Gao, you should not be willing to be absent, right? Next, let's listen to General Mack's plan. General Steven simply finished the matter and passed the conversation back to General Mack.

"Alright, generals, let's turn our attention back to the battle plan. This time we have two targets to choose from, one is Luzon and the other is Wanwan! General Mack opened the map and began to explain a new campaign plan.

Sure enough, Gao Jianwu heard Steven's heart suddenly. The beautiful country finally couldn't bear to fight island-by-island on the Pacific islands, which was protracted on the one hand, and suffered heavy casualties on the other.

Now they are starting to decide to jump on the island to get close to the Imp's homeland, and then force the Imps down by constantly attacking their homeland.

This is the tactic in the original time and space, in this time and space, he is just a little ahead, the reason is because of Gao Jianwu's birth, the little devil was the first to finish in Southeast Asia, and the No. 1 operation was directly suffocated by Gao Jianwu in the two lakes.

Gao Jianwu knew in his heart that he had a comprehensive understanding of General Mack's plan before they finished speaking.

When General Mike finished talking about the whole plan, it was as Gao Jianwu expected. There were two options for this plan, one was to attack Luzon directly, and the other was to attack Bend.

In General Mack's inclination, he was established to attack Luzon first. After all, he fell here, and he wanted to get up from here again.

It was there that he commanded hundreds of thousands of American troops that he was cut off. Speaking of which, this so-called famous general is indeed a bit famous.

But it can't resist the strong national strength of the beautiful country, and the dumpling-like aircraft carriers and battleships will press the combined fleet of the little devils to death at sea. And the army and air force equipment far surpass the little devils. So in the past two years, he has called back.

However, in Gao Jianwu's opinion, his plan to attack Luzon Island first is actually of little use for attacking the little devil itself. After all, the distance is too far, and it takes more than 2,000 kilometers to fly to the local territory of the little devil here. Most of the bombers of the beautiful country could not fight a single round trip.

However, Gao Jianwu hadn't figured out what they wanted to do, so he sat here quietly and listened to their constant discussions. In general, they were divided into two factions. One faction was to support General Mack's plan to attack Luzon. The other faction supported General Steven's plan to attack the bend first.

General Steven was also supported by Admiral Nimitz, a heavyweight in the Navy.

After all, anyone who is not prejudiced sees the unique strategic position of the bend. From there, you can not only attack the local territory of the little devils, but also attack the territories occupied by the little devils in East China in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Defensively, the imps put more troops on Luzon, with a total of 280,000 troops. On Wanwan Island, there are only about 200,000 people now. Many of them are second-line troops, and many of the elite troops of the little devils have been sent to the Nanyang area.

Gao Jianwu listened to their argument for a while, feeling a little bored.

However, he is well aware of his role, and he has the least say in this plan. If he guessed correctly, when the plan was finalized, they would ask him to send troops to participate in it.

So more often than not, Gao Jianwu is thinking about how to fight for new conditions. After all, he knew very well that no matter where he attacked, the combat mission this time was relatively easy.

If he's not mistaken, the battle in Luzon was a rare 5-1 deficit. This is something that has not been encountered in the bloody battles of the Pacific islands.

The main factor is that here, the little devil did not dig the criss-crossing tunnels, and the beautiful country has a very strong artillery support this time. Only then did a 1:1 force play a 5:1 battle loss ratio.

And Gao Jianwu's application in artillery is even more superb. If he is allowed to participate in this battle, the battle loss ratio will be even more terrifying.

If nothing else, this wave of Gao Jianwu will make money again, after all, there are more than 200,000 little devils here. The explosive benefits of fighting with the beautiful country will be crazy.

This is one of the most important reasons why Gao Jianwu is willing to sit here and fight with these people.
