    Zhao Yuhe opened a document bag, took out a few pages, and then said: "This is the division commander's order to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the Japanese-occupied islands in the southwest Pacific. Captain Chu, the task will be handed over to your special operations detachment."  Executed!¡±

    "The requirement of the division commander is to lurk in and find out the distribution of troops, weapons and equipment, and fortifications of the Japanese garrison on all Japanese-occupied islands, as well as the overall situation in key areas, so as to provide information for the attack the troops will launch against the Japanese troops in the Southwest Pacific region.  Detailed information!¡±

    "That's the mission!" Chu Tian said nonchalantly, "Chief of Staff, you also know that this is what our special operations detachment does. Going deep into the tiger's den is commonplace. It's not been a year or two since we have been dealing with little devils.  As for the tricks of the little devils, we know everything about them. What kind of information can't be obtained by being among them? "

    "Don't be careless!" Tang Qiuli interjected, "This mission of your special operations detachment is different from the past. According to the situation on the Australian battlefield, our army will launch an attack on the Japanese-occupied islands in half a year at the earliest. Therefore,  , the special operations detachment will stay in the belly of the Japanese army for at least half a year, you must be fully mentally prepared for this! "

    "Half a year! So long?" Chu Tian was a little confused and felt the difficulty of this task.  /

    "Yes, more than half a year!" Tang Qiuli said with a serious look, "This special operations detachment's reconnaissance mission covers a very wide area, including all Japanese-occupied islands in the Southwest Pacific, with a focus on the Australian battlefield.  , not only to detect the information mentioned by the Chief of Staff. Let me emphasize again, don¡¯t just focus on the Japanese troops, but also pay attention to collecting the local residents, especially the puppet troops who cooperate with the Japanese!¡±

    What Tang Qiuli said is well-founded. In history, when the Japanese army invaded China, they supported and recruited a large number of puppet troops and became the main force in attacking Japan and the Japanese army. This was the so-called "using China to control China".  !"Strategy.  Among the Japanese, there are many officers who are proficient in Chinese culture and are good at using such methods.  Driven by selfish desires in line with interests, no matter what time, there will be no shortage of scum who will betray the country for glory and cooperate with the invaders. No country in the world will be immune!

    "Yes! Master!" Chu Tian also put away his indifferent thoughts.  He stood up and replied.  "Division Commander, I immediately ordered the entire special operations detachment to rush to Yangon immediately and start preliminary preparations!"

    "Don't be anxious!" Tang Qiuli said, "Transfer the unfinished tasks to the local garrison. I will give you two weeks to prepare and implement a specific action plan. It can only be implemented after reporting to the division commander for approval!  "

    Then.  Tang Qiuli said to Tang Qiusheng again: "Brother Qiusheng, it's your turn!"

    Tang Qiusheng smiled and said to Chu Tian: "Captain Chu, in order to ensure the success of your reconnaissance operation, I will arrange a hidden location for the special operations detachment to carry out the preliminary preparations. In addition, the Sulu Mobile Corps Intelligence Department  , we have also arranged for local residents who are familiar with the local conditions in the reconnaissance target area to provide you with special training!¡±

    "Don't worry, they are all intelligence officers from the Corps Intelligence Department. After several years, they have spent great efforts to develop reliable insiders in the local area. For you Chu Tian, ??I have revealed all the secrets that I have been running for several years.  "

    "Why are you still reluctant to let go, Brother Qiusheng?" Tang Qiuli joked, looking at his cousin's expression of pain on his face.

    Chu Tian was smart enough and hurriedly saluted Tang Qiusheng, "Thank you, deputy division commander, for all the conveniences provided to the special operations detachment!"

    "Chutian, you don't have to return to the Korean Peninsula. Just wait for your team members to arrive in Yangon!" Finally, Tang Qiuli gave the order.

    Australia, Montgrani, Japan's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force Headquarters, the commander, General Ito Genzaburo, is watching a top-secret telegram attentively. General Ito Genzaburo was in a happy mood on the Australian battlefield in 1941.  , is high-spirited and has a sense of satisfaction in controlling the overall situation. It seems that he has long forgotten the past when he was almost annihilated by the independent division commanded by Tang Qiuli in mainland China.

    The telegram was sent by the General Staff of the base camp. The content was to inform that the fifteen first-class divisions from the mainland were reinforcing the Australian battlefield. Eight of them were already on their way to the Australian battlefield, with a strength of 180,000.  People around.

    Moreover, the weapons and equipment of these troops are completely the latest weapons produced by local military industrial enterprises. Subsequently, the second batch of seven divisions is preparing to set off. "ߺÎ÷!" General Ito Yanzaburo was captured by Australia  Under the blazing sun, a satisfied smile appeared on his tanned face, he shouted loudly, and poured a glass of sake into his stomach.

    General Ito is indeed happy. Originally, the Imperial Army under his command always took the initiative on the Australian battlefield.??, has been suppressing the Allied troops. Now, the battle line has advanced to Charleville, Sagominda to Milpalinka and Mali in southeastern Australia. More than 500,000 Allied troops are compressed in Film.  The area south of the Des Mountains and the Balil Mountains.

    In the current Australian battlefield, the initiative is definitely in our own hands. However, these two mountains across the southeastern Australian mountains have become the last line of defense for the Allied forces. Therefore, in this area of ????mountainous mountains, the fighting is very fierce, and the Allied forces retreat.  There was no way to retreat but to defend the defense lines of the Flinders Mountains and the Barrier Mountains. This was the only reason why the Australian war could never end.

    The southeastern region of Australia has concentrated almost all of Australia's industrial bases and urban agglomerations, accounting for almost 70% of the population and wealth. It is the real heart and rich land of Australia. Compared with the vast areas in western and northern Australia,  In the wild land of the desert, this place is as tender as cabbage hearts. It can be said that by taking over the southeastern part of Australia, the Japanese Empire is equivalent to occupying the entire Australia.

    There are also two ports, Melbourne and Wollongong, which have become the only channels for the Allies to obtain external troops and supplies, and are the lifeline to maintain the Allied resistance. The Allied resistance is fierce and it is expected that they will not retreat to the death. If it were you,  The only area where they can breathe will not be lost. Otherwise, more than 500,000 Allied soldiers will have no choice but to jump into the vast Pacific Ocean and drink seawater!

    However, General Ito was confident that he would give himself enough time to wear down more than 500,000 Allied soldiers on the Australian battlefield and eventually wipe them out. This was because he had not adopted a strategy that seemed brave but was actually reckless.  , regardless of the huge casualties of the Imperial Army soldiers, engaging in hand-to-hand charge tactics, already taking the initiative on the Australian battlefield, there is no need to adopt that style of play with huge casualties.

    General Ito commanded the headquarters to conduct operations according to his own tactical rhythm, treating the front lines of the Flinders Mountains and the Barrier Mountains as a flesh-and-blood mill that gradually consumed the strength of the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield. Now it seems that the tactics are still very successful.  , the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force achieved maximum casualties for Allied soldiers at a relatively small cost of casualties. There is another point that is also very important.

    According to the judgment of General Ito, with the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor and the belligerence of the big bosses in the base camp, the pace of the Imperial Army should not just stop at the Australian continent. The next step will definitely be a bigger move. The only goal is  It should be the United States. If the empire dispatches troops to the Southwest Pacific and suffers too many casualties, how can it assume the heavy responsibility of attacking the United States in the future?

    In General Ito's view, this important task belongs to him alone. With the loss of the Empire of Japan's overseas colonies in the north, the empire's only overseas heavy military group is in his hands. It can be said that he is the current military power of the Imperial Army.  The heaviest general!

    As for turning around and heading north to recover the Indochina Peninsula and then attack the mainland of China, General Ito has not thought about it. He also believes that neither His Majesty the Emperor nor the base camp has considered it, at least not in the short term. That China devil Tang Qiuli, but  He is a figure who is even more difficult to mess with than the Allied Forces. The independent division troops under his command have made the empire fearful of this brave division from top to bottom!

    Thinking of what he had experienced in China, General Ito felt a little uncomfortable. However, this discomfort was immediately diluted by the joy that the base camp had added more troops to him. There were fifteen first-class divisions and more than thirty  Thousands of elite divisions equipped with new weapons, plus the original strength of the Southwest Pacific Expedition Force, the Imperial Army under his command exceeded one million people!

    "With a million-strong army in hand, I have the world!" General Ito couldn't help but feel proud and ambitious. Although he knew very well that the base camp's decision to increase troops in the Australian battlefield must be the result of a struggle among various factions, but with  What does it matter to me? To be honest, even if I wipe out more than 500,000 Allied troops, occupy Australia, become the king of Australia, and have enough capital to set up my own business.

    Of course, General Ito is absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. Such disobedience will never exist. After the joy of the base camp to increase its troops faded away, General Ito looked at it again  Looking at another telegram, it was the latest information sent by the Intelligence Headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces Command, "Allied reinforcements, about 150,000 people in seven infantry divisions, have passed through the East Indian Ocean and landed at the Port of Melbourne!  "

    Among all the senior generals in the Japanese military, perhaps only General Ito was not particularly worried about the Allied troop surge in the Australian battlefield. He was also calm enough about this news that was obviously not conducive to the Empire's dispatch of troops to the Southwest Pacific.  , and even some generals who are looking forward to it.

    "Have the Allies increased their troops? Well, the Empire of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force will create the largest number of enemy troops in one battle!" General Ito thought with a sneer, and then said to the doorThe staff officer shouted: "Go and find Chief of Staff Kawaguchi!"
