    This is a question that requires a very sophisticated battle perspective. Chief of Staff Kawaguchi thought for a moment and replied: "Commander, according to my personal judgment, the Allied commanders will allocate sufficient troops from the northeast, where the pressure is relatively low, to deal with  Break through the imperial troops on the front lines of Masari, Milpalinka and Wonaring and launch a counterattack in order to block the gap. Otherwise, our imperial troops will take advantage of the trend and go straight to the southeastern part of Australia! "

    "Kawaguchi-kun, your judgment is not unreasonable, but it is exactly what I hope!" General Ito said somewhat mysteriously, "Order the aviation reconnaissance aircraft unit to strengthen aerial reconnaissance of the Allied forces in the northeast. Let's go.  Kawaguchi-kun, come with me to the battlefield and take a look!"

    "No!" Major General Kawaguchi objected excitedly, "Commander-in-Chief, you are the supreme commander of the Imperial Army in Australia. The battle is not over yet. The troops are encircling and annihilating the remaining Allied soldiers. You cannot risk your life!  "

    "Kawaguchi-kun! Don't you think your worries are unnecessary?" Seeing his chief of staff blushing with anxiety, General Ito said with a smile, "I like the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood on the battlefield very much, because that  It will remind me of the past years of conquest. Ever since I became an Imperial General, I have had almost no chance to be on the battlefield. Kawaguchi-kun, you cannot deprive an Imperial veteran of his power!"

    After speaking, General Ito shook his cloak and strode down the mountain. Chief of Staff Kawaguchi looked worried and helpless. He hurriedly called the guard captain over and ordered: "All guards are dispatched to ensure the safety of the commander-in-chief."  Personal safety!" Then, he hurriedly chased General Ito's back.  The boss wants to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. The senior officers of the dispatched army headquarters will naturally not stay in the safe rear.  They followed each other and got into the car.

    At about ten o'clock in the morning on January 15th, Tang Qiuli was handling daily military affairs at the division command in Yangon. Since several main corps of the Independent Division were transferred southward to the Indochina Peninsula and Hainan Island, more than two million troops gathered, involving  The affairs are very numerous and complex.  The telegrams that fly to the division's headquarters every day are like snowflakes.

    The January morning sunshine in Indochina shines in through the open windows.  The small office was illuminated so transparently that Tang Qiuli looked at the thick stack of telegrams and documents to be reviewed with a frown on his face.  These telegrams and documents.  Many of them were reported after they were signed and issued by themselves. Fortunately, Brother Qiu Sheng took on most of the daily military affairs and all civil affairs for him. Otherwise, he would be too busy to death?

    With a sigh, Tang Qiuli picked up a telegram.  Look carefully, "bang bang bang!" The office door.  There was a heavy knock, "Come in!" he shouted.

    The door opened, and the division chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe, and the director of the staff department, Ge Zhenzhuang, walked in. "Yuhe, director Ge, you are here just in time. This telegram will be sent to Han Tie of the Marine Corps immediately."  !" Tang Qiuli said while saying hello.

    Zhao Yuhe didn¡¯t have the telegram in his commander¡¯s hand, but he took out another telegram and said, ¡°Teacher, let¡¯s put other things aside for now. You must be interested in this telegram!¡±

    Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe and said with a smile: "A chief of staff and a chief of staff come together mysteriously. Something big must have happened. Tell us!"

    "Nothing can be hidden from the commander!" Zhao Yuhe shook his head and said, "I received the information just sent by the Intelligence Department. At three o'clock this morning, Commander-in-Chief Ito Genzaburo of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force, more than 90 people from the command post  With tens of thousands of troops, they launched a fierce attack on the Allied positions in the Flinders Mountains and Barrier Mountains of Australia. So far, the battle is still going on! "

    "Wait!" Tang Qiuli said, "The efficiency of the Intelligence Department is not high. It has been more than six hours before the intelligence on the Australian battlefield was collected. Yu Deshui's Intelligence Department and the intelligence network in Australia are very weak.  ?"

    Zhao Yuhe's face suddenly became bitter, and he said helplessly: "Commander, please understand the difficulties of the Intelligence Department. The Australian battlefield has a front line of more than 700 kilometers, and there are hundreds of large and small battlefields.  We also need to verify the true situation on the battlefield. The number of troops participating in the battle on both sides has reached 13.4 million. Don¡¯t you give the Intelligence Department enough time? "

    "Don't excuse Yu Deshui. Intelligence requires effectiveness. Well, what's the real battle situation?" Tang Qiuli said bluntly.

    Zhao Yuhe was a little excited and said: "The collapse of the defense line is very appropriate to describe it. The newly appointed commander of the Australian Allied Forces, American Lieutenant General Barry Hersman, probably did not expect that Yanzaburo Ito would take such a step.  With the fierce offensive, the Allied forces located on the front line of the Flinders Mountains and the Baril Mountains suffered heavy losses, especially the battles in the three directions of Masari, Milpalinka and Wonarling were the most intense! "

    ¡°It seems that Ito Yanzaburo combined the above three placesDistrict, as a key breakthrough direction, the eight additional first-class divisions dispatched to the Australian battlefield from the Japanese base camp have all been deployed there. The current situation on the battlefield is one-sided!  "

    Tang Qiuli looked thoughtfully at Zhao Yuhe and Ge Zhenzhuang and asked, "What do your staff think about this?"

    Zhao Yuhe immediately replied: "Division Commander, the staff believes that the failure of the Australian Allied Forces is inevitable. The Allied Southwest Defense Line was broken through by the Japanese and lost a favorable defensive zone, which is equivalent to the passage to the southeastern region of Australia."  The door is wide open, and the Allied troops deployed on the second line only number more than 400,000. Most of them are British and Australian troops who have been exhausted from long battles. They cannot stop the deep attack of nearly one million Japanese troops! "

    "According to intelligence from the Intelligence Office, the Allied forces are currently engaged in a melee with the Japanese army, trying to regain the lost positions. However, facing the superior Japanese army, the Allied defense forces on the front lines of the Flinders Mountains and the Baril Mountains will soon be  As for the Allied forces on the second line of defense, they were unable to stop the Japanese attack. Therefore, Director Ge and I judged that the Australian war would be over within two months and the Allies would be defeated!  "

    "Commander, the winner of the Australian war has been decided, it's our turn to take action!" Zhao Yuhe said with bright eyes, looking eager to try.

    "The Allies must be defeated?" Tang Qiuli was not as excited as Zhao Yuhe expected. Instead, he slowly shook his head and frowned to himself.

    Zhao Yuhe was stunned for a moment, exchanged surprised looks with Ge Zhenzhuang, and then asked tentatively: "Sir, what worries do you have?"

    Tang Qiuli raised his head, looked at the green under the sun outside the window, and said: "Yamahe, the rapid defeat of the Australian Allied Forces is not in our interests. The Japanese army led by Ito Yanzaburo occupied Australia without a large amount of consumption.  The next step must be to return to the area currently occupied by the Japanese with sufficient force. After all, our more than two million troops are stationed in Indochina, and our intention is obvious! "

    "Yu He, in my current capacity as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces Southwest Pacific and Southeast Asia Theater Headquarters, sent a telegram to the Australian Allied Commander Barry Hersman, requesting the Allied forces in the Flinders Mountains and Barrier Mountains to  Troops, don¡¯t fight to the death with the Japanese army, take advantage of the opportunity before being surrounded by the Japanese army, quickly retreat to the second line of defense, and reorganize the defense system!¡±

    "Send a telegram to several commanders responsible for transporting Allied reinforcements to the Australian battlefield to speed up the transportation of Allied troops. Send a telegram to Director Zhang Quan of the Logistics Department to send a telegram to the second batch of troops who have arrived in West Indies as quickly as possible.  Allied troops, change their equipment, don¡¯t hide some good things!¡±

    "Commander!" Zhao Yuhe rolled his eyes and said, "Your second order is easy to implement. As for the two telegrams, the key is the order given to Barry Hersman. The American can obey it."  "The Australian Allied Forces have accepted your order. If the retreat turns into a full-scale retreat, your responsibility is not small!"

    "Don't be nagging and go!" Tang Qiuli said dissatisfied, "Looking at Ballyhersman's strategy, he wants to fight the Japanese army to the death on the front line of the Flinders Mountains and the Barrier Mountains. His troops are already at a disadvantage.  , I still don¡¯t know how to avoid the edge. Ito Yanzaburo is eager for the Allies to do this. If they don¡¯t withdraw, they will be surrounded! As for whether the American can accept my order, it depends on God¡¯s will!¡±

    Australian battlefield, Masari, General Ito Yanzaburo, surrounded by a large group of senior officers, walked onto the battlefield where the smoke was not gone, full of craters and corpses of Allied soldiers. Around him, countless Japanese soldiers  Whistling by.

    General Ito was obviously in high spirits. Regardless of the pungent smell of blood, he leaned over and inspected the corpses of several Allied soldiers who had obviously been stabbed to death with bayonets. He nodded with satisfaction and said to the generals and officers around him: "Everyone."  Do you see, this is the invincible performance of our Imperial Army soldiers, hand-to-hand combat, which best reflects the bravery of the Imperial Samurai!"

    "When the sharp bayonet pierced the chest of the enemy soldier, blood spurted out, and when the enemy soldier saw the casualties, he looked at him with fear and screamed sadly. What a wonderful moment it was! Just thinking about it makes me happy.  My blood is boiling. It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t go to battle in person and experience the beauty!¡±

    General Ito was immersed in his own artistic conception, using language as beautiful as poetry, and talking to himself. All the Japanese officers around him were speechless, but they also had some admiration. War is cruel, although every Japanese officer  The soldiers of the empire are all full of bloody passion and wild killing in their hearts. They regard the elimination of the enemy as the ultimate goal, but not everyone can describe the killing on the battlefield as beautifully as poetry!

    ??Obviously, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is an alternative. Looking at the stunned and admiring officers around him, General Ito is verySatisfied, he said to the chief of staff, Major General Kawaguchi: "Is there any movement of the Allied forces in the northeast?"
