"... When our president received the telegram from Commander LeMay and learned that they had made their best efforts, he believed that our brave navy boys could no longer be sacrificed innocently, so he decided to bear all responsibilities. He expressed to Commander LeMay issued an order, ordering them to give up resistance and surrender to the Chinese Navy, "You have fulfilled your obligations to the United States, and it is time for the United States to repay you. As the current president of the United States, I have the responsibility to allow our heroes to continue to live." If you go down, you can continue to serve the United States. Therefore, I order you to give up resistance and surrender to the Chinese immediately. Heroes, I must remind you that you are surrendering for the future of the United States, so this is also a brave combat operation. Finally, may God bless you,'"
Kong Lingyi only saw the relevant reports later. Even if she was not too sensitive to politics, she knew what the central government's reports meant. The Americans secretly made a treaty with Japan and sent troops to the Pacific to provoke the second Pacific War. This was simply Truman's idea. Naturally, the Truman government should bear all the responsibility for the government's decision-making errors. However, now after such a whitewash, Truman is no longer a sinner but has become a hero. "Politicians are indeed not ordinary thick-skinned and shameless. Extremely shameless." She made such an evaluation of Truman in her heart. That night, she sent the relevant information back through secret channels, and attached her own opinions on the matter, believing that the United States should still gather strength to continue to fight with the Pacific region. China launched a confrontation.
There is no doubt that this is a perfect crisis public relations. In this way, although all the officers and soldiers of the active U.S. Pacific Fleet headed by LeMay have become heroes, Truman has also successfully established an image that he is willing to give up his personal interests for the sake of the country. Honor and disgrace, he is indeed a qualified and great president.
Leaving aside the fact that the United States entered a political Cold War due to its defeat in the Second Pacific War, Japan, when Koizumi received two battle reports in succession, learned that both the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Combined Fleet were defeated, and Yamaguchi Wenta The Japanese combined fleet headed by it could only rely on the waters near the big island to survive the attack of the Chinese navy. The little devil first sighed and sighed twice, saying that the Americans could not hold up the wall with mud. Then he gritted his teeth and looked at the map in front of him and issued an order. A series of orders required Masaharu Honma to immediately step up the offensive and strive to drive the Chinese army out of the Kambang area before the Chinese Pacific Fleet returned to aid the Malay Peninsula.
Before, even though he realized that the U.S.-Japanese combined fleet was about to be defeated, because they had restrained the Chinese Pacific Fleet after all, Koizumi was not too worried about the prospects of the Battle of Malan. But now, after realizing that the Chinese Pacific Fleet may march westward to join the war at any time, Under the circumstances, he knew that if the situation could not be opened up as soon as possible, the Malan war situation would also reach a stalemate, and their largest military industrial base in Southeast Asia would become ruins.
"Let the Chinese successfully send troops to the unknown position. I can no longer care about this oversight now, but I need you to come up with a specific timetable as to when you can take the unknown position."
Thinking of the fact that the Chinese army successfully airdropped two divisions of troops to an unknown position in broad daylight, Koizumi Toshiichiro couldn't help but feel angry. Today, airborne tactics are nothing new. Just take the Japanese army in Southeast Asia. Said that even though Koizumi faced problems in both talent and equipment, he still successfully trained a group of airborne troops, and almost played an important role in the surprise attack on Malan. Airborne tactics became no longer uncommon. Correspondingly, The means to counter this tactic are naturally becoming more and more mature. What Koizumi Toshiichiro is particularly unacceptable is that when the Japanese combined fleet was in emergency, he still assigned the Yamato Soul Standing Team to the command of Honma Masaharu, but the latter still failed to stop it. China's airdrop operations, "Homma-kun, are you a pig?"
Special attack tactics may not be that effective for the Chinese Air Force in air combat, but airdrops used to target the opponent, at least in Koizumi's view, are simply a natural nemesis. However, right under his nose, Honma actually allowed the Chinese to succeed. The airdrop was completed.
This was not the only thing that bothered Koizumi. Just when the Pacific War between China, Japan and the United States was at its most critical moment, the South China Sea Fleet led by Xu Kai appeared on the scene, and gave them a powerful reputation as soon as they appeared.
The South China Sea Fleet first launched a successful night attack and destroyed two Japanese shipyards on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand. Then it entered the Strait of Malacca and blew up a Japanese inland port used to block the Strait of Malacca. It waited for the Japanese to respond. When they came over and began to dispatch special attack ships to pursue and intercept the Chinese ships that entered the Strait of Malacca, Xu Kai used the mines laid earlier by the submarine force of the Chinese Pacific Fleet in the western section of the Strait of Malacca to play a "card game" with the Japanese. ”.
Xu Kai, a former submarine force commander, may not be good at commanding frontal combat, but using unconventional tactics such as sneak attacks will definitely make the Japanese "unpreventable."
At this time, in the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, the Japanese still had more than 20 destroyers, about 10 light cruisers, and about 50 submarines (including special attack submarines), plus 50 capable of conducting sea attacks. Special attack aircraft, the Japanese maritime power near the Malay Peninsula is actually still very powerful, and because of the high-profile expedition of the South China Sea Fleet, everyone from Koizumi Toshiichiro to the commanders of the remaining fleets have been very alert and ready. Therefore, , in this case, the Chinese South China Sea Fleet was played tricks and played around. It is conceivable what a heavy blow this will have to the morale of the Japanese fleet left behind.
"The unknown position must be recaptured as soon as possible, as well as the Chinese South China Sea Fleet. Those Chinese monkeys have been active under our noses for too long. It is time to send them back to their hometown and pick up Colonel Hatoyama for me."
"Hai."
Hatoyama's call was quickly connected. Koizumi took the call and said in a deep voice: "Captain Hatoyama, you should know the situation of the Pacific Naval War. Our combined fleet with the Americans has failed. In view of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, You may be involved in the Battle of Malan at any time. We have no time to play hide and seek with the Chinese. I order you to immediately organize your forces to launch a strong attack on the Chinese South China Sea Fleet. No matter how much "Yamato Soul" you pay, I have only one request, that Even when the sun goes down the day after tomorrow, I don’t want ships from the China South China Sea Fleet to be operating under my nose.”
