Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3102
According to the analysis of the General Staff of the Supreme Command, after the meeting of the heads of state of the four countries, the Malay Peninsula, the Far East, the Indochina Peninsula, and the Middle East may all become the main attack directions of the anti-China alliance.Among them, because the Malay Peninsula is at the forefront of the two fronts, there are forces from the United States, Britain and Japan in the surrounding area, and the scale of the war will even exceed the Far East battlefield.

This is also the reason why the Supreme Command finally agreed with the Southeast Asian conglomerate to equip the Central Seventh Army with special artillery units.Without it, compared with the Central Third Army and the Sixth Army, the Seventh Army is the worst in terms of soldier quality and actual combat experience.In order to prevent the Seventh Army from dragging the Third and Sixth Army back in future battles and affecting the layout of the Supreme Command in the Malay Peninsula, then giving priority to supplying them with weapons and equipment can be regarded as balancing the three armies A means of combat power.

After the meeting of the heads of state of the four countries ended, the Supreme Command ordered Xue Changkong to strengthen aerial reconnaissance in the Pacific region.As Kong Lingyi sent back relevant information and learned that the United States might take over the Philippines from the Japanese as a forward base for operations against China, the Supreme Command made a decision after consultations and decided to open up a second battlefield in Southeast Asia in the Philippines.That is to help the Chinese army in the Malay Peninsula reduce the pressure through active attack, and at the same time use offense as defense to avoid too much damage caused by the war in the mainland.

Stern has done a lot of preparatory work for today's meeting, including setting up a special staff group to create a military sand table in Southeast Asia for today's meeting.

A huge sand table was placed in the center of the conference room, and Gu Zhu and the others were immediately attracted after entering.On the sand table, several major islands such as the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and the Philippines are included. On some place names, there are also some small green flags. These small green flags are known to the Chinese side.

According to the instructions of the Supreme Command, the Chinese army in the Malay Peninsula will set up a front-line headquarters, of which Gu Zhutong will be the front-line commander-in-chief.After everyone sat down on the high stools on both sides of the sand table, Gu Zhutong opened the folder he carried with him, and first read out the order on the establishment of the frontline headquarters and his letter of appointment.Then, he put down the folder and glanced at everyone, saying: "It is a great honor to be able to fight side by side with you generals. First of all, I would like to declare that in the Malay Peninsula, whether it is the Sixth Army, the Seventh Army or the Third Army, we have A common name, that is, the Chinese army. We have come here from thousands of miles, and what we do is to safeguard the dignity and interests of the country. This is a basic starting point. I hope that the generals can have a clear understanding—”

As a general who grew up in the old warlord army, even though he was used to considering the overall situation because of his status, Gu Zhutong still looked at problems with old eyes most of the time.Therefore, what he is most worried about is not the strength of the troops, but the attributes of the troops.

The liaison meeting was chaired by Gu Zhutong, and Gu Zhutong would also read out the latest instructions from the Supreme Command at the meeting, which everyone has known for a long time.Therefore, Stern and Lin Jiangshi were not surprised when Gu Zhutong announced that the frontline headquarters would be established and he would be the commander in chief.

"I don't think I need to repeat the importance of Singapore. And our military purpose this time is to recover Singapore and completely defeat the forces of the United States, Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia. I need to remind you again that, based on the information we have , our enemies will no longer be just the Japanese army and the Nanyang indigenous troops controlled by the Japanese army, but also the American and even British troops..."

The so-called liaison meeting actually became a military meeting because of the establishment of the frontline command.And because there is no affiliation between the three units, the task assignment and division of combat functions of each unit have become the main issues.

In order to be the commander-in-chief, Gu Zhutong did a lot of preparatory work before coming.However, due to the lack of information in the report, he did not know that the Japanese army was about to abandon Singapore, so he appeared conservative when assigning missions and combat areas to each unit.

Lin Jiangshi listened for a while, and seeing that he did not intend to attack Singapore immediately, he raised his hand.

There were only seven people present at the meeting. When Gu Zhutong saw it, he stopped and asked, "General Lin, do you have any questions?"

Lin Jiangshi nodded, and then directly told what he knew.

"You said that the Japanese army might abandon Singapore? Is this information accurate?" Gu Zhutong was slightly surprised.

"On the night before yesterday, our intelligence officer saw about ten divisions of the National Independence Army leaving Singapore by boat, and according to the information he sent back yesterday, yesterday morning, another group of National Independence Army and about two divisions The Japanese troops began to leave by boat. Commander Gu, I think there is no problem."

Gu Zhutong looked at Sun Liren and asked, "Didn't we—the reconnaissance plane of the Third Army find it?"

"Our reconnaissance planes are always dispatched during the day. I don't know what happened the night before yesterday. Yesterday morning, we saw a lot of boats full of little devils off the coast of Singapore."

Gu Zhutong frowned. He thought for a while, glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Lin Jiangshi's face, saying: "It's not like Toshiichiro Koizumi to voluntarily give up Singapore. Moreover, after the bloody incident in the Far East, The war between us and the Soviets is already a prairie fire, and it is reasonable for Koizumi Toshiichiro to consider counterattacking at this time!"

Whether the Japanese army sticks to Singapore is directly related to the next stage of the Chinese army's action strategy in the Malay Peninsula, so Gu Zhutong can't tolerate repeated scrutiny.

"It is certain that the Japanese army is withdrawing troops. How about we organize a tentative attack?" Stern said.

Lin Jiangshi immediately continued: "Commander Gu, our Seventh Army is willing to carry out this mission. Since our troops entered the Malay Peninsula, we haven't fought a single battle. I also want to take this opportunity to train our troops."

Gu Zhutong frowned.

Just when Gu Zhutong was skeptical about the information that the Japanese army would abandon Singapore, Sasaki Shota was thinking hard about how to send this information out in a military camp to the east of Singapore.

Regarding Toshiichiro Koizumi's sudden decision to abandon Singapore, Shota Sasaki felt very sudden at first, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but secretly called out "high".As a high-level Japanese army in Southeast Asia, he is well aware of the problems of this army and the severe situation it is facing.In his view, Singapore at this time has become a weak point for the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, and giving up is the best choice.
