Koizumi Toshiichiro learned the news that MacArthur was rescued by the cadet army earlier than the Americans. The little Japanese sat on the boat and was speechless for a long time. A few minutes later, he suddenly let out a howl like a widowed wolf, which frightened Hatano and others.
Hop. Fly No wonder Xiaoquan had such a violent reaction. Since time traveling, whenever he got into trouble with Xue Bingjun, he never got an advantage. How could he not hate it? How could he wear Yu to wear Liang? The thought of learning
Bingjun thought of Ouyang Yun, and then he couldn't help but have such an idea.
Ouyang Yun learned the news a little later. He was washing his face in a stream. When Jiang Huangyong reported the news, he took the towel from Bai Liusu's hand and wiped the water on his face.
Qian, smiled and said: "Now the Wolf Fang will really be famous all over the world. Hehe, I think Koizumi Minichiro's expression at this time must be very wonderful."
"Commander Guo sent a telegram to Guangzhou, hoping that the local aviation force can provide tactical support... President Ji and Vice President Li did not dare to take charge, so they called to ask for instructions."
Taking the telegram from Jiang Huangyong, Ouyang Yun looked at it and frowned slightly: "Lao Guo has such a big appetite. Is he preparing to completely reverse the situation in the Philippines? The suggestion is good, but wait for Japan first.
Let’s talk about people’s reactions. If my predictions are correct, they will definitely react to our sneak attack on Sasebo and Nagasaki.”
"Sir, how do you reply?" Jiang Huangyong asked.
"Let President Ji, Vice President Li and Xiaotie worry about this matter. As long as we can ensure that the airspace between Zhejiang and Fujian is not lost, we can provide support according to our ability."
"One more thing, the Americans hope that we can take MacArthur to Guangzhou first."
"Huh? Are the Americans really prepared to let us be the main force in the Philippines Campaign? Liusu, what do you think of this?"
Bai Liusu thought for a while and said: "I think this should be a test by the Americans. The team we sent to rescue MacArthur set out from Guangzhou. They should have seen that our army has a certain ability to project troops from a long distance.
The Japanese have now completely controlled the airspace of the Philippines. With the US mixed fleet destroyed, they can only rely on the Australian Navy if they want to evacuate to Australia. However, Australia's active navy is not strong enough to undertake this task.
I think the Americans might consider evacuating to Taiwan first, and then moving from Taiwan to Guangzhou. I think if the United States really does this, we might as well just detain them in Taiwan, bind them to an alliance agreement, and take Taipei directly.
.If we can fully control Taiwan, life will be difficult for the Japanese!"
Jiang Huangyong: “I think it’s possible.”
Ouyang Yun looked at the stream in front of him and thought quietly for a while: "But in this case, the Japanese will definitely concentrate their efforts to attack Taiwan first. With our current strength, without a naval ocean-going fleet that is strong enough to compete,
Then we can only force the Japanese to exhaust the aviation force. Do you think that with our current strength, we can exhaust the Japanese?"
Ouyang Yun led a huge team along the way. He was not just busy on the road every day. Jiang Huangyong and Bai Liusu were with him. Every day, several people would discuss the current battle situation with reference to the battle report from Guangzhou. In terms of tactical level alone, Ouyang Yun
In fact, he cannot be called a famous general, but he is more knowledgeable and has an extremely accurate grasp of the general direction. Jiang Huangyong and Bai Liusu followed him and gained a lot of knowledge. Bai Liusu made such a suggestion obviously after careful consideration
Yes, she said by saying: "Brother, we have been accumulating our land strength for a certain period of time. Only when the troops fight can their combat effectiveness be improved. In southwestern Jiangxi and northeastern Zhejiang, should we consider counterattack?"
Jiang Huangyong responded: "I think the northwest can also launch a counterattack. The Japanese military's current strategic focus is on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and North China. If the northwest, northeastern Zhejiang, and southwest Jiangxi counterattack at the same time, the Japanese will not have sufficient troops to attack Taiwan."
Ouyang Yun thought for a moment and said, "We'll wait until we get to Karachi to discuss this matter. It's a serious matter and I need to think about it carefully."
While Ouyang Yun was traveling day and night to Karachi, Soma was launching an unprecedentedly fierce offensive against the U.S. military on Luzon Island in order to make up for his guilt in rescuing MacArthur and capturing Hirono Akio alive by the cadet army.
I don’t know if MacArthur’s successful escape inspired the morale of the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces. This offensive and defensive battle, known as the Battle of Paranaque in history, was particularly brutal. The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet successively invested 6,000 troops, while the U.S.-Philippine coalition forces successively invested 1,000 troops.
The two sides fought fiercely for two weeks with 5,000 troops. The Japanese army finally annihilated more than 5,000 U.S.-Philippine coalition forces at the cost of more than half of the casualties, and captured more than 2,000 troops. They captured Paranaque, and then lost their way to the east.
With the ability to advance, Paranaque began to lick its scars while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
On the fifth day of the Battle of Paranaque, MacArthur, his family, and Hatton boarded a merchant ship from Kaohsiung in Sanchez Mira and evacuated to Taiwan, and then took an empty fortress at Kaohsiung Airport to Guangzhou.
On the second day after he arrived in Guangzhou, after two weeks of forbearance, the Japanese began air raids targeting southern Zhejiang and Fujian.
At the Zhoushan Radar Station in southern Zhejiang, around 7:30 in the morning, the station commander Song Qiaoan was having breakfast when he suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the machine room not far away. He was stunned when the observer on duty ran out and shouted: "Station
Commander, come quickly, we have discovered a large number of enemy planes."
Song Qiao felt relieved, put down her job and ran over.
In the newly renovated combat command room of the Ningbo Airport Aviation Building, Commander of the Southern Zhejiang Aviation Corps Wang Hai was holding a regular morning meeting with his subordinates. Communications Staff Officer Fu Guosheng hurried in and said: "Report, there is an incoming call from the Zhoushan Radar Station, heading northeast
A large number of enemy aircraft were discovered."
Everyone was shocked and immediately turned their attention to Wang Hai.
As the chief of staff of the Seventh Expeditionary Corps, Wang Hai's appointment as commander of the Southern Zhejiang Aviation Corps was originally only temporary. However, as intelligence from various sources showed that the Japanese army would launch large-scale retaliatory air strikes in response to the attacks on Sasebo and Nagasaki,
Seeing that it would be some time before Zhuang Houzhong could leave for the Zhejiang Southern Aviation Corps, the General Headquarters asked him to stay in Ningbo for a while.
Wang Hai was a master who couldn't bear loneliness and liked to fly his own planes in bloody battles. This order from the headquarters just suited his temperament, so he stayed, and it seemed that he had the intention to stay indefinitely.
The Japanese must retaliate. Sasebo and Nagasaki were bombed so tragically, there is absolutely no reason not to retaliate. Wang Hai has been waiting for this day since completing the "sinking" operation. Hearing this, he did not feel nervous at all and calmly
Asked: "How far is it from us?"
"It should be less than 400 kilometers away now!"
"Okay!" Wang Hai stood up, looked around at everyone and said: "Brothers, prepare to fight! Taishan, you immediately send an air defense alert to the local area!"
Taishan, surnamed Miao, is the chief of staff of the Southern Zhejiang Aviation Corps. He nodded and was the first to rush out of the conference room. Others surrounded Wang Hai and walked out of the conference room.
