It was already evening after the military meeting, the Li residence was brightly lit, and the reception began.

An assortment of delicacies, various pastries, fruit and wine filled several rooms.

The generals randomly choose seats, choose objects, eat, drink, chat and reminisce about old times and make new friends.

There is no music and no beautiful women.

While pushing the cups and changing the cups, the rough and wild laughter continued. They talked about war, tactics, future, and development.

Without the past decadent music, feasting, and luxury, at this moment, they show the true qualities of Chinese men.

The reception didn't end until midnight, and the generals who had eaten and drank enough to chat with each other went back to their rooms to rest.

Jiang Haoran was not so relaxed. Although he was busy all night last night and only rested for two hours on the plane today, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with such a big battle.

Besides him, there were Liu He and Zhuang Fuguo in the office. The three carefully checked and compared piles of documents, data, and maps at their respective desks.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door of the office, and the sound of a knife came from outside the door, saying that Chief of Staff Huang was asking to see him.

Jiang Haoran shook his head, said with a wry smile: "This Huang Jie, I knew he would not give up." After speaking, he called out to the door: "Let him in."

When the door opened, Huang Jie smiled all over his face and said, "Hehe, Chief of Staff Liu and Director Zhuang are here."

"Tell me, what are you doing here without sleeping at this time?" Jiang Haoran asked with a half-smile.

"Hey, Chief, you know me. If I don't understand some things, I won't be able to sleep all night. Besides, it's fine if you keep it from them, but you shouldn't keep it from me, right? "

Jiang Haoran gave Huang Jie a blank look, and said, "What do you want to know?"

Huang Jie said seriously: "Do you want to hide Chen Cang?"

Jiang Haoran was taken aback for a moment, then he sneered at Liu He and Zhuang Fuguo and said, "What I just said, take a look, it will come true."

The two immediately burst into laughter, only confused Huang Jie, and said anxiously: "Why, did I say something wrong?"

Liu He smiled and said: "Old Huang, I didn't say that you were wrong. Just now the chief executive was still saying that it is not difficult to hide this matter from others, but it is impossible to hide it from you, an old fox. Who knows that you will verify it as soon as you enter the door." .”

"So, are you guys really planning to hide in the dark?"

Liu He said: "It's basically the same. The enemy's protection level on Hainan Island is definitely unimaginable. If their aircraft carrier cannot be transferred, it is unrealistic to land on the beach from the sea. Therefore, the chief officer came up with an idea. The plan to attack the Dutch East Indies, in order to mobilize the enemy's navy, aircraft carrier, and even troops in the waters near Hainan Island."

"Hiss!" Huang Jie gasped, and said anxiously: "So, it's fake to attack Nanning and Yulin. Your plan is to swallow Guangxi, Hainan Island and even their second island chain." All navies?"

"Almost so."

Huang Jie opened his mouth wide, frightened by Jiang Haoran's ambition, hesitated for two seconds and then shouted: "But have you ever thought about it? I can think of this. The enemy must be able to do it too. Maybe they won't fall into the trap?"

Zhuang Fuguo said calmly: "Of course the arrangement in front of me is not enough, even the five divisions of the Fifth Army from the Yuan Dynasty are not enough to go to Yangon, but don't worry, we still have a trump card to ensure that the little devil will believe that we are rushing to Yangon." Going to the Dutch East Indies, that is our main direction of attack."

Liu He continued: "It doesn't matter even if they don't fall for the trick, if they really dare not to send more troops to the Dutch East Indies, our other two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Gulf of Siam, Yuan Fifth Army, Yuan One, Yuan Yuan The Second Army will immediately swing its troops to fight up, and it will really hit his Dutch East Indies."

Jiang Haoran also continued: "This situation is almost impossible. The Dutch East Indies is the last source of fuel for the island army. Once there is a loss, within three months, the island army will face the situation of running out of fuel. They dare not take the risk that all airplanes, airplanes, and cars have been turned into scrap metal."

Huang Jie was short of breath, his eyes sparkled, and he said, "So, the decisive battle is coming?"

"Yes, the time for the peak decisive battle has come." Jiang Haoran replied with certainty.

"Okay, okay!" Huang Jie waved his fists and walked back and forth in the room, as if only through this method could he vent his joy.

The three people in the house were also amused by his actions.

Huang Jie stopped suddenly, and asked again: "What do you mean by the remaining eight divisions of the Fifth Yuan Army?"

Liu He smiled and said, "Aren't you very smart, guess what?"

"This... I really can't guess this." Huang Jie said truthfully.

"If you can guess this, then you are not a human being, but a god." Zhuang Fuguo laughed.

"Then be quick and say it." Huang Jie feigned anger.

Zhuang Fuguo glanced at Jiang Haoran, and after receiving the signal, he said, "Actually, these eight divisions even include the five divisions heading to Yangon Port, they are not here for this battle at all, but..."

Three days later, Wenchang, Hainan, the Southern Army Command of the Island Army.

Because of the defeat on the Xuzhou battlefield, Ningji Okamura's supervision of Guangdong and Guangxi was beyond his reach. Therefore, the high-level island army transferred the troops from Guangdong and Guangxi to the Southern Army.

The commander-in-chief of the Southern Army is still Terauchi Shouichi, and the chief of staff is still Tsukada Gong. Under the jurisdiction of the No.20 Second Army in Guangzhou, the No.20 Sixth Army in Guangxi, the No.19 Army in the Dutch East Indies, and the No.17 in the Philippines military.

The Dutch East Indies had just suffered a large-scale attack by the rice army, causing heavy casualties. The defenders stationed in the Philippines and Manila were transferred to the front, and the remnants of the No.17 army retreated from Burma were stationed in the islands around the Philippines and Manila.

Considering the importance of Guangxi and Hainan, the base camp of the Island Army added four divisions to the 26th Army after the withdrawal of the [-]th Army. Therefore, the strength of Guangxi and Hainan Island has reached [-] divisions.

Of course, there are four divisions of the Royal Association Army.

But in fact, since Jiang Haoran's series of persuading actions in Xuzhou and Beiping, the island army has completely lost confidence in the Imperial Association Army. Even if they are asked to undertake logistics and public security tasks, they are extremely worried and afraid If they are not careful, they will surrender, but in the case of a serious shortage of troops, they still have to use them, so they can only increase supervision and take precautions.

In the chief of staff's office, Tsukada Kou sat on the executive chair, his beard was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was even a hint of sadness in his expression.

In his hand, he held a black and white photo. In the photo, a girl in a kimono stood under a cherry blossom tree in full bloom. Her smiling face was brighter than the cherry blossoms behind her. It was impressively on the Hejian battlefield. , Tsukada Yuriko, chief of staff of the Sakura Division, who was burned by cold gasoline.
