Ouyang Yun concluded that the British army would surrender because he was familiar with this period of history. Although the Japanese army's entry into the Indian Ocean occurred a year earlier than that time and space, and the order of attack was completely reversed, the fundamental factors that determined the outcome of this battle were the same.
——The British have not fought for a long time, but the Japanese are soaked in blood. Each other is weak and the other is strong. When the British army's most reliable sea and air forces are defeated by the Japanese army, the outcome is actually doomed.
.
For the Japanese, the strong attack on the Indian Ocean is the best way to solve the increasingly scarce domestic combat readiness resources. Not only that, if they can capture Vietnam and Myanmar as they wish, they can open up a new front and direct their troops towards the country.
This is the reason why the Xuebing Army had to send elite troops into Vietnam despite encountering huge pressure from the Korean puppet army on the front battlefield. For Western countries such as Britain and the United States that maintain huge colonial interests in Southeast Asia, the Japanese did this
It can be said that a poisonous needle was stuck in their hearts. The British were the most depressed, because before this, Britain and Japan had always maintained a non-aligned alliance, and even the Japanese navy had a strong sense of British teachers.
Shadow. This time, the Japanese didn't even say hello, but they came up with sticks. The British were caught off guard and ate several sap balls. This has become a joke in the world's diplomatic circles. The Dutch and French people are not as anxious as each other.
The British are not much different, but their homeland has fallen into the hands of Nazi Germany, so the way to express anger is quite simple and boring. Because of the rise of soldiers such as Ambrose, the French have adopted fairly clever countermeasures, and they are similar to those of the cadets.
The military reached an agreement to get what they needed, and obtained the military support of the student army. Now it seems that apart from Britain and the United States, they are one of the countries most likely to maintain their colonial interests. Among the four countries of Britain, France, the United States and the Netherlands, the sentiment of the Americans is
The most tangled and complicated thing is that on the one hand, the U.S. government focuses its attention on Europe and does not want to go to war with Japan, so although there are endless protests, there are no substantive actions; on the other hand, considering that the Japanese army is in
After the Western influence in Southeast Asia has been wiped out, the Philippines occupied by the United States will not be able to thrive. The U.S. government is anxious and always wants to do something to feel at ease. It is under the guidance of this kind of thinking that the Americans quietly became "
The shadow fourth party outside the tripartite alliance between Britain and France began to use its huge commercial transport fleet to provide military assistance to the country in exchange for the country's military export to Southeast Asia. It also helped the British mobilize military supplies from the mainland to the Indian Ocean, always thinking
It can curb the advance of Japan, a beast of war, at the minimum cost.
In addition to the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands, the Australian government has also maintained a high degree of vigilance against Japanese troops entering the Indian Ocean. As a member of the Imperial Federation, Australia has the obligation to help the British resist foreign aggression, and in Singapore, the Eighth Australia
The division was fighting for the British along with the 11th Indian Division.
When a Langya named Cui Lin of the Langtou Regiment left Phnom Penh with his seven brothers and began to march towards the Malay Peninsula, Ouyang Yun and his generals gathered around a huge sand table and were discussing how to maximize their chances of success.
Rescued many overseas Chinese trapped in the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula.
"I hope the British can hold on longer. In that case, we can rescue more local Chinese. When the country was in the most difficult times, they donated money and planes. Now, it is time for the country to repay them!"
If necessary, I will not hesitate to send out an army to rescue them," Ouyang Yun vowed after the meeting began.
"It's very difficult!" Guo Kui said: "Not to mention that we don't know when the British will surrender. Even if we have this time, how can we get them out? If we send troops to break into the Malay Peninsula directly, the Japanese army will
There are aircraft carriers providing air support. If the scale is small, infiltration will be useless. If the scale is large, the Japanese may seize the opportunity."
"The British are so stupid that they actually let the Japanese successfully attack Segamat. It is impossible to expect the British and Japanese to fight hard. Apart from surrendering, the British now probably have to ask the Americans to help move. The problem is, the Americans
Are you willing to take the risk?" Chu Tiange said.
Ouyang Yun: "Even if it is a risk, the British will try to do it. Don't forget, not long ago, they just completed a world-famous Dunkirk evacuation. And this will be our only chance.
As long as the Americans are willing to help the British, we can organize a fleet to mix with the American fleets and transport as many local Chinese and overseas Chinese as possible. But before that, we must stir up the waters in Southeast Asia even more.
It will only work if it becomes muddier!"
In the Malay Peninsula, the British have not given up resistance. On the one hand, British Prime Minister Churchill asked the US government to put pressure on the Japanese government, hoping to win the war without fighting through negotiations. On the other hand, he appointed the commander-in-chief of the East British Army Command.
Commander-in-Chief General Wavell was the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in India, hoping that Wavell could achieve another great feat like he had done in defeating the Italian army in the east. After Wavell rushed to India, he immediately assembled all the land-based and sea-based fighters he could muster to attack the Japanese army in Malta.
They carried out indiscriminate bombings on bases on the peninsula and Sumatra, and destroyed several oil wells on Sumatra.
The most fundamental purpose of Japan's dispatch of troops to the Indian Ocean is to obtain the oil resources on Sumatra Island. Wavell's move can be said to have hit their weakest point. Yamamoto Isoroku immediately mobilized two aircraft carrier fleets to be permanently stationed in the Java Sea and dispatched regularly.
The fighter jets cruised. After making this arrangement with his front foot, Wavell commanded two divisions of British troops to attack Segamat from Negeri Sembilan. The two sides immediately launched an offensive and defensive battle around Segamat.
The war in Segamat was raging. At the Xuebing Army Naval Base in Haikou, two Song-class submarines with a displacement of 1,250 tons left the dock fully loaded with fuel and weapons. The Song-class submarines are a new generation of conventionally powered submarines independently developed by the Xuebing Army. They represent
It has the most advanced technology for the Xuebing Army Navy. So far, the Xuebing Army has produced three submarines of this type, and there has been no actual combat experience before. Ouyang Yun dispatched two of them at once and asked them to perform long-distance missions.
Dealing with the unprecedentedly large Japanese-Western Expedition Fleet shows his determination to save the Chinese in Singapore.
Coincidentally, on the same day that two Song-class submarines set off for the Indian Ocean battlefield, Japan's two Yamato-class battleships converted into aircraft carriers were launched at the same time. Therefore, Yamamoto Isoroku received a domestic secret telegram and heard that "Yamato"
"" and "Musashi" aircraft carriers were officially launched for sea trials, adding two new forces to the Imperial Navy's aircraft carrier community. When he was smiling happily, he did not know that two submarines from the Xuebing Army were pointing at the Gulf of Thailand and quietly revealed their sights.
