The information given by Stilwell clearly stated that the US Navy will send the 10th mixed combat group to intercept the warfare of five main aircraft carriers.

Due to the end of the Battle of Okinawa, the US Navy also suffered a large number of casualties, and many ships also needed to be repaired and supplied. Faced with this fleet led by the Yamato, it did not use a "luxury lineup" as in history, and only sent 5 aircraft carriers and some supporting escort fleets.

Although the super-large battleships like the Yamato are already an outdated thing in the eyes of modern naval experts, the tonnage is placed there and it is not a random target.

Therefore, the commander of the Western Pacific Theater MacArthur had to seek help from the land allies in Southeast Asia and ask their air force to cooperate with the operation.

Now the form of Southeast Asia is the dominant Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the US and British allies are blocked north of Mandalay to do some air support and logistics tasks. Liao Mingyu refused to let the other party reach out at all. At least in military terms, most of Myanmar has the final say.

Stilwell had no choice but to let the Expeditionary Force fight? The bald head transferred the Indian army and the western Yunnan garrison troops back to the domestic battlefield. Currently, only Liao Mingyu's troops can be mobilized in name only.

The battlefield of this joint naval and air force battle is in Malaysian waters. Stilwell mobilized a large number of fighter jets to fly for a considerable distance, and the airports must be replenished in the middle. This requires the airports under Liao Mingyu to cooperate fully.

In addition, the Expeditionary Force's own air force is not weak now, so we can help each other, both in terms of deterrence and success rate.

At the same time, Stilwell was also testing Liao Mingyu's reaction to see what this young Chinese officer who was becoming bigger and stronger in his hands would do, and whether he could still obey his orders.

At this time, Liao Mingyu held his chin and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and made arrangements:

"Isn't Fang Jingyao's side coming to an end? Let Jamie's first squadron return to the Heihe base, form the fifth fighter squadron from the students, and let the veterans take them to the ground attack mission against the Yangon front."

As for the young eagle, they always have to grow up from actual combat. It is definitely not enough to participate in dangerous sea-to-sea missions, but it is still more than enough to practice dive bombing to attack the Japanese who are besieged in the Yangon area.

"Transfer this combat plan of the US military and order all airports to fully cooperate with the Allied forces' operations, and then prepare the two fighter squadrons under Andre to participate in this operation to encircle and annihilate the Yamato!"

"In addition, the offensive plan on the Yangon battlefield is still the same. First, remove the Third Division and the Armored Brigade, replace the Fifty Division to take over for two days, and then launch the general attack when all parties are in place."

Meng Fu's eyes lit up. Judging from the current situation, this arrangement is reasonable. Sending two fighter jet squadrons to participate in the operation can be considered as a transfer.

I just don’t know if I can fight the Yamato in the end. After all, the battle between the strong ships, cannons and fighter fleets on the sea is not something he can understand.

"Then we really have to follow the Americans, but if Long Wenhua is removed now, can the grandson agree?" Meng thought for a long time.

As one of the main attacking forces, the Honorary Third Division fought with the Japanese army for more than half a month, and the losses must be significant, but this also ignited Long Wen's competitive spirit.

I heard that guy has been at the forefront day and night recently. If he hadn't stopped him by his chief of staff, he would have been going to lead the team himself. It would be strange if he didn't rush to remove them at this time.

"Who has the final say in the army? I'm not happy yet!"

Liao Mingyu cursed angrily, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart that the Yamato battleship had a very unique emotion for the Japanese.

Haven't you heard of the Yamato man's Yamato? Many Japanese navy pride themselves on being able to work on the Yamato. Although it has no record, it is the largest battleship in human history. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the pride of their national defense power.

In fact, there are two Yamato-class battleships, the number one Yamato and the number two Musashi are all built with the same standards, but the latter was sunk by US fighter jets when participating in the Battle of Lyte Gulf last year.

This existence, which symbolizes the dream of a strong country and the Japanese nationality, is now the only one who can be seen in Yamato.

If this is dry, it is conceivable how much psychological impact it will cause to the Japanese.

Thinking of this, Liao Mingyu smiled. Anyway, it was not his family who fought alone. It was still necessary to participate in this important historical moment.

However, the smile on his face soon frozen, replaced by surprise and surprise.

In addition to the first combat plan against the Yamato, a secret military newspaper was also required, which clearly stated that former commander of the Japanese Southern Army, Soichi Desunuchi, had arrived in Saigon, Vietnam and would enter Siam in a few days to meet with the Siam king. The specific intentions are still unclear.

Liao Mingyu immediately fell into deep thought. It can be said that this news shocked him more than the previous plan to encircle and annihilate the Yamato. What did the old Japanese do in Siam?

Could it be...

He knew the news that Suichi Deanuchi was removed from the commander of the Southern Army. It was nothing more than the continuous battles that were not favorable and the hostile factions in China were given a speech on the surface. The Japanese cabinet had no choice but to punish him.

But this guy still has a certain prestige in the army, and the Japanese base camp did not recall it immediately, but chose to let him continue to stay in Southeast Asia to assist Shiro Ban Hengze.

But now he suddenly ran to Siam, and he definitely had an ulterior motive, otherwise how could he do such useless work?

In fact, this old Japanese man who had lived for most of his life did not want to stay in Singapore and help his younger generations, because he knew that if he did not seek a breakthrough, he would not be able to revitalize the situation in Southeast Asia.

Like the strategic intention of seishiro Itagaki to save troops trapped in Yangon and Irrawaddy provinces to preserve their strength to defend Malaysia, the Temple only sneered at it.

He had thought about this idea. He would have saved it long ago, and he was still waiting for you to talk about it. The key is that he is choking with eggs and is in a dilemma. Even if he succeeds, he will pay a huge price, and it is not worth the loss at all.

So the old guy decided to find something else and planned to go to Vietnam to organize the 17th Japanese division stationed here. In contact with Siam, he was preparing to launch an attack from Myanmar from multiple directions. To put it bluntly, it was a strategy to surround Wei and save Zhao.

But Soichi Tatsuguchi of Siam underestimated the confidence of the Japanese in Siam, and even underestimated how cunning the Siam military and political prime minister Luan Piwen Songkan was.
