Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

In the direction of Guangdong, Zhaoqing and Kaiping also encountered the same situation. The four divisions were attacked by more than ten divisions of the No.40 Second Army of the National Army. unimaginable.

"Tani Shou-kun." Chief of Staff Kato Michio pushed open the door and came in, bringing in the noise from outside.

"Gu Shou-kun, just received the news that the Naval Aircraft Carrier Fleet has entered the Qiongzhou Strait, and we are completely cut off from Hainan Island." Michio Kato said.

"Nani?" Gu Hisao was stunned by lightning, and then suddenly shouted: "So it is impossible for us to rush to help Hainan Island, and the No.20 First Army in Hong Kong can't even think about deploying troops to support Hainan Island. Totally isolated?"

Kato Michio nodded silently, hesitated for a few seconds and said: "I think we have to deploy troops to strengthen the coastline defense, and beware of the army landing on the Leizhou Peninsula."

Gu Hisao waved his right hand again and again in the air, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, Jiang Haoran will definitely not miss this matter of landing on the Leizhou Peninsula. Once the Leizhou Peninsula falls into their hands, our No. 20 Sixth Army will have nothing to garrison. It’s over, but the key is, there is such a long coastline in the southwest of Leizhou Peninsula, and we only have one wing in front of us, how can we defend it?”

Kato Michio said: "If they land, they will definitely choose to land in the corner of the south and Hai'an. After all, their navy is strong, and they will definitely choose the most suitable place to land. In terms of defense, we can deploy defenses in this area. The key is this alliance. Can't the team last long?"

Gu Hisao said: "We can't delay any longer. Immediately order the 156th Division, 157th Division, and No. 40th Division to abandon Chongzuo and Nanning, retreat quickly, and build a line of defense in Yulin, Lianjiang, and Guangzhou Bay (Zhanjiang). "

Kato Michio shouted: "Retreat quickly? Gu Shoujun, there is the 21st Army in Chongzuo, the No. 16 Army in the west of Nanning, and the Nanshan Army in the north of Nanning. The three divisions are now in a stalemate. At this time, a rapid retreat is tantamount to courting death, and the situation of defeat like a mountain is inevitable."

Hisao Gu said: "Sooner or later you will die if you carry it to death. If you give it a go, there may be a way to survive. Each division leaves a regiment to block the enemy desperately, and the rest all retreat. If they can get rid of the pursuit, they should deploy a team in Yulin and Guangzhou Bay in advance. The 26th Army can still form a group without being divided and surrounded by them, and a part of the troops can be spared to defend the Leizhou Peninsula, and maybe it can make a difference.”

Kato Michio thought for a while, and seemed to feel that there was some truth, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll give the order now."

"Wait." Gu Hisao stopped Michio Kato, who was about to turn around and leave, and said, "Order Zhaoqing's two divisions to retreat, but they are retreating to Kaiping."

"Withdraw to Kaiping?" Michio Kato looked suspicious.

"Yes, retreat to Kaiping, as long as Kaiping is not lost, the 26th Army may still have a way out."

"You... mean... Macau?"

"Yes, it's Macau."

"The Portuguese can agree?"

"Now I don't care so much. I can't see the more than [-] warriors of the locust army being wiped out by that person. It's fine if they agree. If they don't agree, they can only conquer by force. I will report this to the headquarters."

Back then, the island army attacked Pearl Harbor and immediately attacked Hong Kong and Singapore with heavy troops, but it did not touch Macau, which is close at hand.The ostensible reason is that the island country does not want to declare war with Portugal, and there is no state of war, which shows that Japan "observes" public international law.Of course this is all nonsense.In fact, if the islanders want to occupy Macau, it can be said that it will be a matter of no effort. Sending a regiment up may solve the problem without firing a single shot.There are actually strategic reasons why they don't.

Macau is too small, less than 20 square kilometers at that time.Although there are coasts on three sides, they are silted up by the sand washed down by the Pearl River Estuary, and even a thousand-ton ship cannot dock.Since the Opium War, Hong Kong has taken all the advantages of sea transportation, and Macau's trade and economy have already plummeted.Macao, which is a tiny place, has neither a deep-water port nor an aviation airport, and has no strategic significance. What is the use of the Japanese to come? It is not worth the loss for the island country to tear up the face of Portugal for this useless place.

Hong Kong was originally the largest international intelligence market in the East. The islanders estimated that after the fall of Hong Kong, many intelligence spies would concentrate on the Macau peninsula to form a new intelligence center. This is one of the reasons why they did not occupy Macau.However, because the sea and land transportation in Macau was cut off, the spies were unable to move, and the wishes of the islanders were not realized.Lisbon, the capital of Portugal in Europe, is actually an international intelligence center.Hitler deliberately kept it, allowing the "fifth column" to flourish.The intelligence personnel of the island army were also particularly active, where they obtained a large amount of intelligence information about the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States.If a small and useless Macau is occupied, the intelligence personnel of the Island Army will be expelled from Lisbon.Naturally, the islanders would not do such a loss-making business.

There is another important reason why the islanders dare not occupy Macau.Since the 15th century, Portugal has had a large number of colonies in Africa and South America, Brazil being one of them.Brazil has a vast land and sparse population. At the beginning of Portugal, it asked the Qing government to approve immigration and land reclamation, but was rejected.After turning to the island country to request, the island and Portugal reached an agreement, and a large number of people from the island country immigrated to Brazil.By 1945, there were as many as 100 million island nationals in Brazil.Since the Meiji Restoration, the island country has immigrated to foreign countries in batches in a planned manner, and the military of the island country is ambitious, and has arranged long-term hidden and latent espionage elements among the immigrants.

The Pearl Harbor incident, the islanders of Hawaii played such a role.Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, it is said that the Portuguese government has threatened the island country. If the island army invades Macau, all Brazilian islanders will be imprisoned in concentration camps.In this way, the island nation will lose its huge source of intelligence in the United States and South America.They are not fools, so naturally they dare not occupy Macau.

In fact, there is still a contradiction in the middle, that is the agreement between Jiang Haoran and Marshall.

When selling the Zhanhu jet fighter technology, Jiang Haoran reached a consensus with Marshall, Molotov, and Eden to abolish all unequal treaties signed between the big powers and China, return the land colonized by them, and return the treaty ports they opened up by all means , and return China a complete and independent national sovereignty.

After the agreement, the Western countries headed by Yingmi, including the Soviet Union, did put it into action. This plan was well implemented in the Kuomintang-controlled area, and other areas still under the control of the island army also signed corresponding handover agreements.

Only Macau is a problem.
