Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Three days later, Vientiane Command.

Chief of Staff Huang Jie walked into Jiang Haoran's office and said: "Commander, good news, all the officers and soldiers of the Yuanyi Group Army have successfully landed, and the large forces have begun to move forward."

"Oh, so smooth?" Jiang Haoran asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, the defense line of the island army's fortress was completely burned by napalm bombs. According to reports from the front soldiers, the reinforced concrete was scorched, and even the barrels of hundreds of millimeters of giant guns were melted. What else did they use?" Defensive line? So, they simply retreated dozens of kilometers and rebuilt the defensive line in the mountains."

"Retreat tens of kilometers?" Jiang Haoran frowned.

"Yes, according to the report of the scouts, no trace of the enemy has been found within at least [-] kilometers, and the aviation team has also confirmed that the enemy has been retreating these days...Why, is there any problem?" Huang Jie was originally happy, but saw Jiang Haoran's expression became more and more dignified, and he became a little restless.

Jiang Haoran was silent for a while, and said: "There is an expert in the island army, and he preaches the tactical thinking of the text on the left and right sides of the mountain."

"Ah... how to prove it."

Jiang Haoran said: "It's very simple, Fengwen Yamashita can be regarded as our old opponent. We know him. He raided Singapore and swept Malaysia, and won the nickname of 'Tiger of Malay'. Even in Yingdo, He led his troops to surprise Homalin. If I hadn't been vigilant early, I would have almost fallen into his hands. Therefore, this man's tactics are fierce and fierce, and he is also relatively conceited. Fighting positional warfare and resisting to the end should be his tactics."

Huang Jie nodded again and again, and said: "What the chief said is that a person's tactical thinking is always determined by his personality, and it is difficult to change. Fengwen Yamashita is indeed taking a tough path. It is too conservative to retreat to the jungle defense right now. Weak, the contrast between the front and the back is too great, it doesn't seem like the same person's tactic, it's just...do you think this tactic is very clever?"

Jiang Haoran smiled slightly, and said: "Not only is it clever, but it is quite clever. In this way, our naval guns will be completely useless. In the jungle, even the usefulness of aviation will be greatly reduced, and the enemy is more familiar with the terrain than us. Whether it's blocking, setting up an ambush, or a flanking attack, we can't defend against it. Originally, I expected to wipe out the enemy's effective forces on the fortress-style defense line. Their retreat made our most powerful fist hit the cotton, but We had to fight their soldiers in the jungle and strangle them."

"In this way, the trick of the little devil is indeed quite poisonous." Huang Jie murmured, and then suddenly remembered, and said: "I heard that the Jiannan Group Army of the Island Army has hired a very young chief of staff. What is it called Jue San? The name is quite a mouthful, but I don’t remember it, so I wonder if it has something to do with this person?”

"What do you think?" Jiang Haoran frowned. In his memory, he had never heard of such a powerful figure in the island army, but since he was very young, he was the chief of staff of the island army group army. , must have extraordinary ability, maybe it is him?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Haoran picked up the phone and ordered Liu Qiaoshou to collect this person's information immediately and send it over.

Needless to say, the current Central Security Bureau is really efficient. In less than half an hour, Liu Qiao rushed over with a folder in his hand.

Horei III, 24 years old, graduated from the Japanese Army University, was born in a military family, his father, Lieutenant General Hori, and her husband served as the head of the First Division of the Japanese Army, and the director of the Army Aviation. The special agent Kenji Dohihara is his neighbor.

But it was not because of his family that he was qualified to be the chief of staff of a major general at a young age, but because he had a judgment that was different from ordinary people.

When the Pacific War broke out, Horei Eizo had not yet graduated from the Army University. Once, an intelligence officer from the General Staff Headquarters went to the mainland to give lectures. In the class, two battle examples from the Philippine battlefield were used.

One is a chariot squadron composed of 48 light tanks from the 9th Division of the Island Army, which drove away 15 m-2 tanks of the Mi Army.

The other is that 40 island army tanks forced the more than 3000-meter army to retreat tens of miles.

The people in the staff headquarters talked about these two battles to prove that the locust army is brave and good at fighting, while the Mi army is timid and afraid of death.

But Jurongsan made it clear that the island army's light tanks are not the opponents of the Mi army's m-2 at all, and it is even more difficult to understand that it is more difficult to win with less.

His judgment is: the intention of the Mi army is to delay the attack of the locust army and cover the main force to retreat to the Bataan Peninsula.

At that time, the intelligence officer of the island country was extremely dissatisfied and angrily denounced him for slandering the combat effectiveness of the locust army. However, just a dozen days later, MacArthur retreated to the Bataan Peninsula and slapped the intelligence officer of the island country with facts.

It is because of this that Ju Rongsan was specially recruited into the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters as an intelligence staff officer, responsible for the analysis of Mi intelligence.

In the subsequent Pacific War, Jue Rongsan accurately analyzed the Mi Army's action plan time and time again. The reason why the Mi Army's island-hopping tactics did not go well was that this person successfully predicted the Mi Army's next landing with foresight. Place.

Therefore, because of his outstanding performance, the base camp of the island country directly promoted him from a minor to a major general, and became the chief of staff of the Jiannan Army.

After listening to Liu Qiaoshou's report, Jiang Haoran immediately said: "That's right, it must be Jue Rongsan who caused trouble."

Huang Jie was puzzled and said, "I don't understand this. Since Ju Rongsan's plan is so good, why does the little devil want to fight us head-on instead of retreating directly to the coastline?"

Jiang Haoran said: "It's easy to understand. Since Horei Rongsan is so young, even if you are the chief of staff, these veterans, including Yamashita Fufumi and Ozawa Jisaburo, must not take him seriously until they After the sea, land, and air suffered a great loss, I realized how correct Horei San's plan was. This can also explain why the island army retreated so simply

Huang Jie nodded, agreeing, and then asked: "Then what should we do now, do we need to change the battle plan?"

Jiang Haoran thought for a while, and said: "No, but you must tell Liu Dakun to remember to be greedy and aggressive. You must first stabilize the rear and move forward steadily. At the same time, pay attention to flank protection and don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes. .”

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Huang Jie strode out of the office as he spoke, and when he came back, Jiang Haoran was spreading out a map on the table, gesticulating, and was so absorbed in watching that he didn't even notice that he had entered the door.

Huang Jie stepped forward and glanced at it, and found that he was looking at the topographic map of Nasugbu, so he wondered: "It's not time for the paratroopers to enter the field, why, should we advance?"

"I'm back." Jiang Haoran raised his head to look at Huang Jie, and said, "I just took a closer look at the war report and found a very serious problem."
