The time was too short, and Ouyang Yun still failed to think it through. However, the overall plan and tactical ideas took shape. To put it bluntly, it was to never let the Japanese army guess the Allied forces' combat intentions and offensive route. Do you think I want to start from the South Pacific?
To fight along the northeast route, I prefer to attack the Philippines and Ryukyu first. After Taiwan is liberated, the Xuebing Army has the conditions to attack the Philippines or Ryukyu. Moreover, since the ground-to-surface long-range missiles have already formed combat capabilities, they can be obtained nearby.
With the support of the Taiwan Army, it will be relatively easier to attack these two places. Furthermore, if the Philippines can really be captured, then Japan will only want to obtain resources from South Asia if the sea lanes between the Japanese homeland and South Asian resource colonies are cut off.
Supplies, costs and risks will all increase several times; and if Ryukyu can be captured, using Ryukyu as an advance base, it will threaten the Japanese mainland. How will the Japanese army respond by then? Is it to continue to maintain the national battlefield, the mainland, and South Asia?
Balance the three aspects of the battlefield, or shrink the force for home defense? No matter what choice the Japanese army makes, one thing is for sure, they will definitely be in chaos as a result, so 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 view of the overall situation. 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 have contributed most to the country's current international status and military strength. They thought more than once
This was partly due to luck. Now, Ouyang Yun has once again proved his foresight and overall view with facts. Some people can't help but think that perhaps 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 then be put into practice.
The Leapfrog tactic will definitely be familiar to those who are familiar with history. Did Ouyang Yun shamelessly plagiarize it again? This 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 will be 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 National Defense Forces 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 Marines from the United States, France and Australia launched a month-long battle with the Japanese in southeastern Australia.
The battle was fierce. After the Japanese army achieved victory in the first battle using cluster 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.
Army 500,000.
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 a sufficient number of "National Liberation Army". It has established an arsenal in Singapore.
With the continuous supply of weapons and equipment, the scale of the "National Liberation Army" became larger and larger, once reaching nearly three million. From these nearly three million troops, Koizumi selected nearly one million people to imitate the Japanese army and establish the South Asia Peace Initiative.
After the military was strengthened and trained, 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. He once encountered strong resistance from senior Western officers led by MacArthur. "Shouldn't women go away in war?" Several times, in public,
MacArthur commented on this appointment in this way on every occasion. 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'er, 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, it would be harmful to him.
The unity of the Allies. "Let the Americans see that our women are better than them," he said in his letter to Chu Tiange. In his letter to Bai Liusu, he did not mention specific requirements.
He 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 choosing the development direction it strives for early, the Fujiyama super fighter came out 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 the biggest problem for the Allies in the following years.
problem.
The Mount Fuji super fighter first became famous due to its bombing of the United States, and its second fame came from the "spreading beans to form an army" operation. In less than a month from late January to early February 1944,
Within 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. In just three years since the Japanese Navy formed its Western Expedition Fleet and entered South Asia, 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 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.
