The Fourth Division can be called a strange force in the Japanese army. At first, quite a few people in the top ranks of the Xuebing Army were very puzzled by Ouyang Yun for allowing a division-sized Japanese army to stay in Hainan. As time went by, , after figuring out the nature of the Japanese army, they were completely relieved and felt that this might not be a good way to deal with the Japanese.
When studying the Fifth Army, the students all had smiles on their faces when they talked about the Fourth Division, as if they were talking about a comedy. As the commander of the Fifth Army, Shan Erran witnessed many Fourth Divisions. Therefore, when talking about things related to the Japanese army, a smile appeared on his face: "...the little devils in the Fourth Division are not good at fighting, but they are quite good at doing civil engineering work. , with Changjiang and Ledong as the centers, they built a total of four permanent defense fortifications, including more than a hundred bunkers... I once went in and saw in person that all the underground tunnels were made of stones. The little devil is interesting. He even built a small cement factory... Commander-in-Chief, I even think that the space we have given away is too little. If the southeastern coast is also given away, how much trouble will be saved if the little devil does it for us."
Having dealt with the Japs of the Fourth Division a lot, Shan Renxiong didn't think they could pose a threat at all, so he spoke in a very relaxed tone. The others didn't know the specific situation, but their expressions changed as they listened, etc. After he finished speaking, Jiang Guangnai said solemnly: "How long has it been before the little devil has actually built such a large-scale permanent fortification group? This battle will not be easy to fight."
Ouyang Yun looked at Shan Renxiong with a smile,
The single hero chuckled and said: "Mr. Jiang, if a mouse burrows again, it will still be a mouse. I'm not bragging. If we really want to fight, I can wipe them all out in three days at most."
Jiang Guangnai blinked twice and asked, "This Japanese army is so vulnerable."
Shan Renxiong nodded affirmatively,
The fundamental purpose of Ouyang Yun convening such a high-level meeting at this time is to deal with unexpected situations that may arise after the Pacific War begins. By then, if the Japanese really completely destroy the US Pacific Fleet, then the fall of the Philippines will be Sooner or later, once the Philippines is lost, Hainan Island and Taiwan Island will inevitably become the targets of the next round of attacks by the Japanese combined fleet.
As for Hainan, because it is close to the Guangzhou headquarters, it can quickly provide support, and with the help of the Fourth Division, a certain scale of permanent defense fortification system has been formed along the southwest coast, so Ouyang Yun is not very worried. What he is really worried about is Or Taiwan, once a war breaks out between Japan and the United States, the so-called restraining effect of international public opinion will be minimal for Japan. If Japan really takes the risk to carry out inhumane poison gas attacks, it will not be a defense for the Xuebing Army. The question is not whether you can keep it, but whether it is necessary to keep it.
Since learning this information from Mao Chengcheng, Ouyang Yun has been thinking about how to crack the little devil's trick. He knows that borrowing the binding force of international public opinion can only cure the symptoms, but not the root cause. Therefore, although he is busy with affairs, he has never given up thinking. He came up with a way to completely resolve this move, and when the meeting was held, because the situation in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi was mentioned, he came up with the idea: Can he take the initiative to attack on the battlefield there to put pressure on the Japanese army, thereby forcing Tokyo Base Camp diverted attention and finally gave up on this tragic idea,
At the beginning of the year, when the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Army" was established, the North Korean puppet army came fiercely. For a time, Ye Zhao's Second Academic Army and Jiang Guangnai's Fourth Academic Army were under considerable pressure, and the guerrilla base areas in southwestern Zhejiang were also under considerable pressure. The level of destruction was so great that Jiang Guangnai had to let three of the guerrilla columns withdraw across Aoshui for defense. After surviving this period and finding out the strength of the North Korean puppet army, the situation in the border areas of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi has now It became that the student army took the initiative and the Japanese and puppet troops could only remain on the defensive.
When Ouyang Yun led the student expeditionary force into Southeast Asia, in view of the fact that the North Korean puppet army was doing all kinds of evil in Zhejiang, and its destructiveness even exceeded that of the Japanese army, Jiang Guangnai and Ye Zhao deliberately attacked Ouyang Yun, and the relevant war report was sent to Ouyang Yun. There, but no approval was obtained,
As a time traveler, Ouyang Yun is naturally more aware of the dangers of the Korean puppet troops, so why did he veto Ye Zhao and Jiang Guangnai's war report? The reason is very simple. When it comes to his attitude towards the Korean puppet troops in Zhejiang, he doesn't just think about it. We want to strike, but we want to find opportunities to annihilate them all. If we don’t strike, we will do it. If we strike, we will strike them completely frightened, so that they will tremble all over when they hear the name of our student army in the future. After deciding to carry out the attack on Thailand During the "Operation Revenge", by chance, Ouyang Yun and Guo Kui talked about the issue of the North Korean puppet army, and they once leaked such a tone in front of him. Therefore, when he suddenly pointed out that he learned the name of the Fourth Army from the Second Army. , when they were asked to prepare for a big battle, Guo Kui immediately remembered these words and said excitedly: "Commander-in-Chief, you are ready to deal with the Koreans."
Ouyang Yun nodded, then looked around at the crowd and said: "I declare a new battlefield discipline. If you encounter Koreans in the future, unless they have betrayed their sincerity in advance, others will be killed without mercy." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Guangnai and asked: " Mr. Jiang, do you have any questions?"
Jiang Guangnai was stunned for a moment, and then replied categorically: "I have no problem. These two Japs in North Korea are more hateful than the Japs, and that's just as it should be."
"How many troops are there now in the southwestern Zhejiang area of the North Korean puppet army?"
"Three divisions and seven independent brigades, totaling about 60,000 people." Jiang Guangnai replied,
Ouyang Yun nodded with a fierce look in his eyes: "If you want to beat them, beat them thoroughly. It's best to cook them all in one pot. When Guo Da and others are put on the ship, I will go to the southeast front in person."
According to the agreement reached between the Xuebing Army and the U.S. government, when Chen Shichang's Pacific Fleet left U.S. waters, that is when the Xuebing Army's troops supporting the Philippines boarded the ship, the personnel and troops going to the Philippines were decided at the beginning of the meeting. The commander is Guo Kui, and the chief of staff is Huang Hua. It has three divisions and two directly affiliated units that strengthen the brigade size. The three divisions are Guo Da's 1st Expeditionary Division, Huang Haifu's 1st Mountain Division and Xue Liu. The Army's 17th Academy Division, the direct-affiliated troops include a special artillery regiment and a jungle special operations regiment, plus about three regiments of other auxiliary arms. As the meeting came to an end, Ouyang Yun looked at Stern and asked: "Si Tern, there is no problem on your side."
Stern said decisively: "Of course there is no problem. We will resolutely implement the orders of the headquarters."
Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "If Bonn and the others have objections to this, you can ask them to come to me directly. I will still say what I said before. As long as you are willing, you will always be a member of the student army. No one can force you. Do things you don’t want to do.”
"yes."
Ouyang Yun raised his left wrist and looked at the time, and said, "It's already 3:10 in the morning before I know it. Okay, let's go back and have a rest."
Everyone stood up one after another, and after greeting him, they walked out in twos and threes and sent everyone away. Ouyang Yun changed his seat to face the world map in the room, sat down, and folded his arms. , looking from the North Pacific to the North Atlantic to the South Atlantic and finally to the Arabian Sea, silently thinking in his heart: "We must come back safely."
