Zhang Lingfu was sitting on an armchair, holding a parasol on his head. There was a small table in front of him. On the table was a Yixing handmade purple clay pot, sipping tea leisurely, and behind him
, which is the blue flag that symbolizes your own base camp.
After taking a sip of the incense, Zhang Lingfu narrowed his eyes with pleasure, thinking that this victory came too easily. He thought it would be a fierce battle, but Xu Rui was so arrogant that he only sent Langya to fight.
I simply gave up, believing that it wouldn't be long before I could get news of victory.
This time, the 74th Army not only defeated the New Sixth Army, but also defeated Xu Rui's third regiment. The 74th Army really gained a great reputation.
Zhang Lingfu shook his head proudly, feeling that I was the best in the world.
"Buzz..."
A sound of motor sounded from a distance. At first, Zhang Lingfu thought he heard it wrong, but the sound got louder and louder. At this moment, a plane flew from the sky in the distance.
Zhang Lingfu thought that the Americans were really capable of causing trouble, and even sent planes to conduct reconnaissance exercises.
However, the next moment, Zhang Lingfu was no longer calm. He saw small white flowers appearing from below the plane. This was the first time that Zhang Lingfu saw someone skydiving. What was going on?
Just as I was thinking about it, an officer behind me said: "Master, could it be Xu Rui's people parachuting?"
Zhang Lingfu was a little panicked when he heard this, and said: "The guard company will go to the skydiving area immediately. If Langya is really parachuting, they must be eliminated!"
"yes!"
More than a hundred soldiers from the guard company hurried away into the distance. As a result, Zhang Lingfu was left with only a dozen guards guarding him.
Zhang Lingfu's heart tightened slightly. He thought that Langya was really brave and even thought of parachuting. I heard that Langya was always used to beheadings. It seemed that these paratroopers must be coming for him, but with these few
The paratroopers had won the exercise, but Langya underestimated himself too much.
Just as Zhang Lingfu was thinking, he heard a snap behind him. Zhang Lingfu looked back and saw that the big blue flag had been pulled down, and a dozen soldiers in black diving suits appeared out of thin air, holding Thomson Martial Arts in their hands.
The submachine gun has already controlled his own guards.
"You..." Zhang Lingfu was shocked.
"Mr. Zhang, you are now our prisoner." A man in a diving suit walked over and took off the diving cap on his head. It was Leng Tiefeng.
The blue flag has been pulled down, and Zhang Lingfu himself has been captured alive. Zhang Lingfu knows that in this exercise, the 74th Army was defeated. The defeat was so clean and tidy that in the hands of Langya, his own troops had no room to fight back.
, everything is under Langya’s calculation.
"Where are you from?" Zhang Lingfu asked.
Leng Tiefeng replied: "We have been lurking in the sea for three hours."
"So, your so-called paratrooper airdrop is just a bait to lure my guard company out?" Zhang Lingfu asked.
"Yes, otherwise, how could Master Zhang send out the guard company beside him, and how could we succeed so easily?"
Zhang Lingfu took a breath of cold air. Everything was calculated by Lang Ya. He first used a small number of troops to block the attack on the hilltop, and then used paratroopers to airborne to attract his own guard company. However, Lang Ya's real killer move was in the sea water. This was impossible for anyone.
It's something no one can imagine.
"The exercise has ended, the two sides have stopped exchanging fire!"
The loudspeaker in front of the auditorium kept shouting.
Lu Xing looked back in surprise and saw that the blue flag had disappeared. He cursed angrily. Although the wolf fangs in front were powerful, they were no longer strong under his own human wave tactics. In another twenty minutes, no,
In ten minutes, the red flag will definitely be captured. The situation that was thought to be a sure victory has turned into the disastrous defeat it is now. Lu Xing is really unwilling to accept it.
Not only was Lu Xing unwilling to give in, but the senior generals of the 74th Army led by Wang Yaowu in the stands were also unwilling to give in.
Li Tianxia said: "Commander Xu, your troops don't play according to the routine. How can you fight like this? Even if you win this battle, you are still opportunistic."
Xu Rui said: "How can you play according to the routine in a war? Otherwise, if the other party knows your routine, wouldn't it be a sure defeat?"
Li Tianxia's words were rebuffed by Xu Rui, and Wang Yaowu also asked: "What kind of fighting method are you talking about? I have never seen a good positional battle on an island, both in the sky and in the sea."
Xu Rui said: "Today's war is no longer a two-dimensional war, but a three-dimensional war. The battle is not all about the strength of ships and artillery, but the battle for command capabilities, information capabilities, mechanization levels, etc. The wars are still in the past.
In terms of model, it can only be beaten, just like the Chinese army during the Opium War, using cold weapons to fight hot weapons. Times have changed, and those who fall behind will definitely be beaten. This backwardness not only refers to backward weapons, but also backward thinking.
"
After listening to Xu Rui's words, Wang Yaowu was thoughtful, and finally nodded and said: "You are right, we will admit defeat in this exercise."
"Commander, we can't admit defeat. They can't win with force..." Li Tianxia wanted to say something else, but Wang Yaowu glared at Li Tianxia and said, "If you lose, you lose. What else is there to say?"
Liao Yaoxiang on the side also said: "You see, this is the scary thing about Xu Rui. Langya is not only equipped with extremely elite weapons, but the most important thing is that their combat mode and combat thinking are far beyond ours. Therefore, we all
We lost at their hands."
MacArthur also said: "Gentlemen, there is no doubt that Langya's tactical thinking is far beyond our understanding. Perhaps, this will be a direction for future operations and is worthy of our study and reference. Today's exercise is over
Come here!"
"What's going on? I'm about to attack the top of the mountain, but I'm just a little short of it!" Lu Xing walked out of the mountain angrily, holding a Thomson in his hand.
Zhang Lingfu's face was as dark as water, and he said: "Shut up, don't embarrass yourself here!"
Lu Xing always obeyed Zhang Lingfu's words. When Zhang Lingfu said this, Lu Xing immediately shut his mouth. Zhang Lingfu sighed and said: "The exercise is over. Today's exercise, there are too many things that we need to summarize..."
The exercise between the 74th Army and the 3rd Regiment lasted only half an hour and ended hastily. No one expected that the 74th Army would be defeated so simply and completely. This result not only shocked the entire nation on the Pacific battlefield.
The military also shocked the US military.
MacArthur had a special exchange with Xu Rui for this purpose, asking Xu Rui about the tactical innovations of Langya. Xu Rui gave some answers, but Xu Rui did not have any information about some of the core tactics of Langya, such as the inverted triangle ambush formation.
To tell the truth, the main reason for this is that Xu Rui thought about the war on the Korean Peninsula a few years later. If the Americans mastered more advanced technologies and tactics, it would be too detrimental to China. Xu Rui naturally could not let this happen.
A situation occurs.
In the days that followed, the Pacific battlefield entered a relatively stable period. No one on either side of the war was able to launch a new large-scale attack, while the United States continued to accumulate strength and prepared to land on a certain island in the South Pacific.
At this time, the Japanese had learned through intelligence that the Pacific Fleet was continuously increasing its strength. The United States had built a large number of landing ships. It was believed that it would not be long before they would launch an island landing operation.
After calculation, Japan's intelligence agency prepared a judgment that the U.S. military would launch a local counterattack and land on a certain archipelago in the South Pacific. At this time, the Japanese army also decided to continue its attack on the South Pacific islands and planned to build an aviation facility on Guadalcanal first.
Based at the base, aviation forces were sent forward to cover the attack on Port Moresby on New Guinea Island. After establishing a foothold on New Guinea Island, they gradually advanced to the southeast, and finally occupied Australia and regained the strategic initiative.
In order to realize this strategic intention, the Japanese base camp began to form the 17th Army. The commander of this army was Lieutenant General Hyakutake Haruyoshi, the younger brother of the Emperor's Attaché, and the military headquarters was located in Rabaul, New Britain Island.
By the beginning of August, the army had the Nanhai Detachment, the Ichiki Detachment and the Aoba Detachment under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of thirteen brigades. At the same time,
After several months of replenishment, the combined fleet at this time has once again regained its strength. The carrier-based aircraft on the seven main aircraft carriers have been replenished, with a total of nearly 500 carrier-based fighter jets. This number has basically restored the number before the Battle of Midway Island.
scale.
Yamamoto Isoroku immediately ordered that the main force of the combined fleet immediately rush to the South Pacific. At the same time, Yamamoto Isoroku also dispatched more than a hundred shore-based aircraft from the 25th Air Force Company to station in Rabaul to provide air cover.
At this time, Guadalcanal was already under the control of the Japanese army. In order to control the entire Solomon Islands, the Japanese army built an airport on the island. There were 2,700 Japanese engineers and 240 security forces on Guadalcanal, for a total of 2,940 people.
Not long after the combined fleet set off, Nimitz of the U.S. Pacific Fleet received the news. Just a week ago, the United States launched three new aircraft carriers, more than a dozen battleships and heavy cruisers, all of which were assigned to the Pacific Fleet. These aircraft carriers have many
Strong combat effectiveness, especially the aircraft carrier, is the core of the fleet. Coupled with the escort of numerous battleships, cruisers and destroyers, the U.S. Pacific Fleet at this time is basically not inferior to the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Moreover, after Xu Rui's suggestion, the US military's Mustang carrier-based aircraft used the latest British-produced engine for the newly produced Wild B-type fighter, and its quality has been greatly improved. Compared with Japan's Zero carrier-based aircraft, it is completely
Having the upper hand, Nimitz believed that if the Zero fighter encountered this improved Mustang B fighter, it would be a massacre. Nimitz decided to give the Japanese combined fleet a fatal blow on Guadalcanal, and Yixue
The humiliation of Midway and Pearl Harbor.
At this time, both the U.S. and Japanese armies have set their sights on the South Pacific islands, and a war is about to begin...
