The time was too short, and Ouyang Yun still failed to think it through. However, the overall plan and tactical ideas were formed. To put it bluntly, the Japanese army would never guess the Allied forces' combat intentions and offensive route. Do you think I want to attack from the south? When attacking from the Pacific to the Northeast, I prefer to attack the Philippines and the Ryukyus first. After the liberation of Taiwan, we have the conditions to attack the Philippines or the Ryukyus. Moreover, because the surface-to-surface long-range missiles have already formed combat capabilities, they can be nearby. With the support of the Taiwan Army Group, it will be relatively easier to attack these two places. Furthermore, if the Philippines can really be captured, then Japan will have to wait until the sea lanes between the Japanese homeland and South Asian resource colonies are cut off. Japan will then want to gain access to South Asia. Resource supplies, costs and risks will increase several times; and if Ryukyu can be captured and Ryukyu is used as an advance base, it will threaten the Japanese mainland. At that time, the Japanese army will react by continuing to maintain the Chinese battlefield and the mainland. No matter what the choice of the Japanese army is to balance the three aspects of the South Asian battlefield, or to shrink its troops and use them for home defense, one thing is for sure, they will definitely be in chaos as a result. Then for the Allies, there will be more strategies to choose from.
Those present here are all experienced in the battlefield, and they do not lack such a strategic overall view. After thinking about it for a while, their eyes became brighter and brighter. They occasionally looked at Ouyang Yun, unable to hide their admiration. Such a strategy, It's not that they can't think of it, it's just that thinking about it and having the strength to do it are not the same thing. Moreover, Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army are the most responsible for the country's current international status and military strength. They thought more than once There is an element of luck in this. Now, Ouyang Yun has once again proved his foresight and overall view with facts. Some of them can't help but think, maybe this is the key factor for Xuebingjun's success.
Ouyang Yun pointed out the strategic direction, and the next thing was relatively simple. Not to mention that there were "little Zhuges" like Bai Chongxi here, but also Chen Cheng and even Feng Yuxiang. They all had considerable skills in planning details. Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and soon, a relatively detailed plan was formed. With this plan, the staff of the General Staff Headquarters will further enrich the details and conduct war games to demonstrate. It will not take long, but A combat plan can be produced when put into implementation,
The leapfrog tactic will definitely be familiar to those who are familiar with history. Whether Ouyang Yun shamelessly plagiarized it again is not the point. The point is, is it really possible to contain the Japanese army's special attack tactics? The answer will be in May 1944. It was announced on May 5th, and this day is also the Army Day of the Xuebing Army.
The Third Battle of Guadalcanal still started. One and a half months after the Chinese National Defense Force and the Cadet Army regained Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, and approached Pingjin. Because the governments of the United States, Britain, and France expressed strong doubts, Chu Tiange took charge of the Meishan Pacific Fleet. Nearly 50,000 Marines launched another attack on Guadalcanal.
Before the Third Battle of Guadalcanal began, the Allied Pacific Forces were not idle. Under the command of Bai Liusu, 300,000 Marine Corps officers and soldiers from China, the United States, France and Australia fought against the Japanese army in southeastern Australia for a month. In the fierce battle, the Japanese army achieved an initial victory with the group special attack tactics. Their confidence increased greatly, and they came up with the idea of maintaining a presence in Australia and waiting for another opportunity. Koizumi Minichiro continued to increase troops in Australia, and at one time the number of Japanese troops in Australia reached 200,000. With an army of five hundred thousand,
Because of Koizumi Minichiro's persistence, Japan's colonial policy in South Asia has entered the harvest season. Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines have a population of more than 100 million, allowing it to select enough "national liberation armies" and establish an arsenal in Singapore. With the continuous supply of weapons and equipment, the scale of the "National Liberation Army" became larger and larger, reaching nearly three million at one time. From these nearly three million troops, Koizumi selected nearly one million people to imitate the Japanese army and establish the South Asia Army. The Peace Army and strengthened training, then he had the ambition to stick to Australia's vested interests.
In terms of the Allied Pacific Theater Command, Bai Liusu was appointed as the commander of the Marine Corps. For a time, he encountered strong resistance from senior Western officers led by MacArthur. "Shouldn't women go away in war?" Several times, in public, On all occasions, MacArthur commented on this appointment in this way, and in private, he even brazenly said that Ouyang Yun should make Bai Liusu's belly bigger as soon as possible. In that case, the future of the Allied Pacific Theater would dawn earlier.
MacArthur's words still reached Ouyang Yun's ears, and he was not angry about it. However, in his letter to Bai Liusu and Chu Tiange, he believed that Bai Liusu should be given a chance to show his military talents. Otherwise, there would be In order to hinder the unity of the Allied forces, "Let the Americans see that our women are better than them." He said so in his letter to Chu Tiange, but in his letter to Bai Liusu, he did not mention specific requirements. , just said: "I believe you can lead the troops to victory. By then, the good news will be the best response to MacArthur. Well, do you think the old American will find a piece of watermelon rind and jump directly into the Pacific Ocean?"
It has to be said that because of the existence of Koizumi, the Japanese army has undergone many upward changes. In addition to the Japanese Navy's early choice of the development direction it strives for, and the advent of the Mount Fuji super fighter ahead of schedule, you must know that time and space, this fighter Although it was designed by the Japanese, it had no chance to be put into actual combat. In this time and space, this fighter was not only produced and put into actual combat early, but also became a problem for the Allied Forces in the years that followed. The biggest problem,
The Mount Fuji super fighter first became famous due to its bombing of the United States, and its second fame came from the "sowing beans to form an army" operation, which lasted less than a month from late January to mid-February 1944. In a matter of months, the Singapore Air Corps under the Japanese Navy used nearly 100 Mount Fuji super fighters to deliver nearly 300,000 troops and nearly 20,000 tons of military equipment to Australia. Once the Japanese war machine Operating at full capacity is quite terrifying. It has only been three years since the Japanese Navy formed its Western Expedition Fleet and entered South Asia. However, the Japanese have established terrifying military-industrial facilities in Singapore, Sumatra and Indonesia. With the support of South Asian resources, , a steady stream of weapons and equipment was produced, so Koizumi was able to start from scratch, arm nearly three million South Asian indigenous people in one fell swoop, and turn them into a terrifying military force.
For his own soldiers, Koizumi dared them to use special attack tactics at every turn. Of course, Koizumi had no psychological burden on these subordinate soldiers. What puzzled later military historians was that those Indonesians, Malaysians and Filipinos People, the reason why they are willing to fight to the death for Japan is actually to obtain the status of one or several Japanese citizens. From this point of view, the reward paid by Koizumi to make the South Asian natives work hard can be said to be very cheap.
Koizumi has assembled nearly 800,000 troops in Australia in a short period of time. Can he really occupy Australia, a treasure island full of various mineral deposits?
The answer is no, because his opponent is Bai Liusu,
