The first thousand and ninety-one chapters of the perfect strategy
"The rocket launcher is that person's rocket launcher." Amidst the earth-shattering and continuous explosions, the unfamiliar-looking senior soldier squatted close to the artillery pit, shouting at the top of his voice to the junior soldier Kameda Junji next to him, "Kameda" Tian Junci was obviously a new recruit. Although he tried hard to stay calm, he still couldn't control his nervousness, and even his body was trembling slightly without even realizing it.
"Is there an army?" He asked in a trembling voice what he was most worried about.
"It says no, but who knows, Kameda, don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to die. You know, we are fighting a defensive war. Just be careful not to be affected by cold shots and shells. Open your mouth, right?" , don’t you think the smell of gunpowder smoke is very charming, bastard, I tell you to open your mouth..."
Among the nearly 50,000 defenders in Wabaluo, there is nearly a brigade of Japanese troops. This is also the most reasonable troop allocation concluded by Toshiichiro Koizumi, that is, one Japanese soldier is used to lead and guard five indigenous soldiers. In Southeast Asia, local indigenous armed forces Activities to resist Japanese rule have never disappeared. After Gu Lianyun became the head of Fox Eyes Headquarters in Southeast Asia again, the resistance movement once shook the foundation of Japanese rule. Later, although Koizumi Minichiro personally led several successful encirclement and suppression campaigns Several large guerrilla forces were eradicated, but resistance ideas took root locally and began to affect Japan's colonial policy. In order to ensure the reliability of the servant army, Koizumi could only solve the problem by increasing the proportion of Japanese troops in the total force.
For the Wabao war, MacArthur indeed spent almost all his capital, not to mention all the elite navy, land and air forces, and almost all artillery, including the rocket launchers that were finally imported from Guangzhou.
"First use intensive artillery fire to completely blow up the Japanese positions, and then use superior forces to seize key commanding heights in one go. After seizing all the commanding heights, organize troops to eliminate the remaining enemies." This is MacArthur's words to Wabao. Regarding the specific layout of the First World War, in view of the fact that the Air Force failed to seize air superiority as expected, he also requested that the ground forces preferably seize one or two key commanding heights in Wabao City before dawn to provide the possibility for the main force to advance.
The U.S. military's continuous bombardment regardless of cost for an hour and a half did achieve very good results. When the sound of the artillery stopped, even the Japanese army hiding in the strongest anti-gun fortifications lost a third of their troops, and the national The damage to the independent army was more than half, which caused more than two-thirds of the troops to lose combat effectiveness or directly flee the battlefield.
At around 5:10 in the morning, as two signal flares, one red and one green, rose into the sky, the US military's ground offensive began. Intensive gunfire began to replace the sound of artillery, and the occasional explosion was no less powerful than the mountain cannon. The tanks of the US-Australia coalition were advancing steadily on the battlefield, and it seemed that everything was under MacArthur's plan.
"The Fifth Armored Division has broken through the Japanese frontline positions six kilometers deep and is now storming the bunker defense line at the east gate of Wabao." Next to MacArthur, a major staff officer was reporting the latest battle situation to him. As he spoke, At the end, a lieutenant colonel placed the small red flag marked "Fifth Armored Division" on the sand table in front of him at the east gate of Wabanao City.
So far, the war is going quite smoothly, but the faces of a group of senior officers of the US-Australia coalition led by MacArthur are not happy. They have dealt with the Japanese army too much and know the Japanese army's tactics.
Gradually they opened up, and they knew that the real hard battle had just begun.
"Contact me General King." MacArthur said, and then took the phone from a staff officer.
"Old man, how are your preparations going?" MacArthur asked, speaking as he took the lit cigar from a female captain with his left hand.
"Everything is ready. You should be able to hear explosions from the west in ten minutes at most."
"Where are the early warning fighter groups? I think they can take off now."
"Don't worry, the boys have already boarded the fighter planes. In twenty minutes at most, more than fifty fighter planes will appear over Wabalau."
MacArthur was still a little uneasy. After all, the stakes in this battle were too high. Although he felt that he had made sufficient preparations and considered almost all possible sudden situations and took precautions, this was because his opponent never played cards according to common sense.
Koizumi Minichiro, so he still inevitably felt uneasy. For him, Jin's performance was much better. Once the call was put through, MacArthur could feel his strong self-confidence and was therefore relieved.
Kim is indeed confident. The military and industrial strength of the United States is so powerful. The Japanese almost risked their lives and worked hard for two and a half months to launch an aircraft carrier, but the United States only needed a little more than three weeks to launch one.
, and compared to large ships such as aircraft carriers, the United States is even better in the construction capacity of medium-sized ships, with nine aircraft carriers, eleven escort carriers, sixteen heavy cruisers, and more than fifty light cruisers and destroyers
, the U.S. Pacific Fleet has completely restored its previous "Pacific Monster" appearance. With such a fleet size, Kim simply did not believe that the Japanese had the ability to resist. Under such circumstances, he did not ask for a direct attack on Singapore, which was already a sign of enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden.
When launching a new counterattack, MacArthur was most afraid of the Japanese special attack tactics battle group. Therefore, although the Japanese army did not have a large-scale naval presence in the nearby waters, he still asked the U.S. Pacific Fleet to cooperate in the operation and gave them a heavy combat mission.
First, he asked Kim to dispatch a large-scale fighter jet group to attack Singapore at the beginning of the decisive battle to contain the Japanese and Hainan aviation special attack battle groups; secondly, he asked Kim to retain a sufficient number of fighter jets for blockade over the battlefield to block the Japanese army's possible launch of ground attacks from the air.
Special offensive operations by the offensive forces; finally, the personal escort of the U.S. Pacific Fleet also allowed him to retain a large-scale artillery force to deal with emergencies.
The sound of gunfire finally stopped. The stranger shook the dirt off his body, grabbed the rifle beside him and crawled out of the cave. When he climbed out, he thought of something and turned around and shouted: "Keda, are you still alive?"
"Yes." A weak voice sounded.
"Injured."
"Well, I feel dizzy."
"Asshole." Xiangshang smiled and cursed: "This is also called being injured. Pick up your weapon quickly. Now let's fight the Americans."
"Hai."
Five minutes later, Xiang Shang stared at the American tanks emerging from the thin smoke and cursed angrily: "Assholes, heavy tanks, the Americans are so shameless, aren't they afraid of anti-tank mines? Hey, turtle."
Tian, where is our special attack tactics package? I think we may be about to make a great contribution."
