    From the beginning of 1941 to the end of September, during this period, apart from a few big bosses at the independent division headquarters, the busiest one was Lieutenant Colonel Bai Luoyu, director of the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Intelligence Division.

    This top student who graduated from the intelligence major at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany was so busy that she didn't even have time to fall in love with her fianc¨¦, Major General Battelle, commander of the armored forces of the Independent Division. No, she just received an intelligence from the United States.  After quickly sorting it out, according to the procedure, only one officer from the intelligence department was needed to send it to the division command.

    But Bai Luoyu suddenly had a thought in her heart, "I haven't seen Battelle for several months. Will he be in the division?" So, she decided to personally send the information to the division. She couldn't bear to see him again.  That rascal?

    Bai Luoyu, who is just in his twenties and full of youthful spirit, is dressed in a military uniform and is so dazzling. Wherever he goes, he will attract the admiring eyes and salutes of the young officers. He is no exception when walking on the way to the division command.  , immediately attracted attention.

    However, the young officers of the Independent Division all know that the astonishingly beautiful Lieutenant Colonel Bai Luoyu is not only excellent in his own condition. He is one of only a few top students of the Berlin Military Academy in Germany in the entire Independent Division, and is also a famous beauty.  I have a husband, my fianc¨¦ is the "Blood Knife" known in the independent division! He is now the famous Armored Forces Commander Major General Battle, and Major General Battle's other identity is even more amazing. Although he is not related by blood to the division commander's younger brother, everyone knows that he is a close relative.  Like a younger brother.

    ¡° Walking under the sunshine in Yangon¡¯s October morning, Bai Luoyu felt very comfortable.  With a hint of expectation, I have become accustomed to the attention salutes of many young officers.  When she arrived at the door of the division commander's office, she calmed down, raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Bang, bang, bang!"

    "Come in!" The voice of Chief of Staff Zhao came from inside the house.

    Bai Luoyu pushed the door open and came in. With a quick glance, he saw the division commander, deputy division commander Tang and chief of staff Zhao.  But she didn't find Barter there, so she felt a little disappointed, but she hid her emotions very well.  He raised his hands in salute, and then reported crisply: "Reporting to the division commander, Bai Luoyu, director of the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Intelligence Department, is here to deliver information!"

    Tang Qiuli saw his younger brother¡¯s fianc¨¦e coming.  He said gently: "It's Luo Yu. Why, is there no one else in the Intelligence Department? Do you want you to deliver it in person?"

    Bai Luoyu's face was slightly red. She said so politely that she hoped to meet Battelle, so she had an idea and replied: "Report to the division commander, because this information is very important. Therefore, Director Yu made a temporary decision. I will hand it to the division commander personally.  !¡±

    "Very important information?" Tang Qiuli took the document bag from Bai Luoyu's hand, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he said: "The work of your intelligence analysis center has been very busy recently. I heard your sister-in-law Mei Ting say,  In recent months, you haven¡¯t been to your house for dinner. Are you so busy?¡±

    "By the way, some time ago, Battelle went to the Korean Railway Corps in Hainan Island, did you know?" As he said that, he saw Bai Luoyu blushing and shook his head.

    He became a little angry, "Why, before he left, he didn't tell you where he was going? This guy is so careless. How could he treat a girl like this? Does he still act like he is in love? When he comes back, I will  Definitely take care of him! Give him a few days off to spend time with you!"

    Tang Qiuli treated Battle and Bai Luoyu just like his biological brothers and sisters. He didn't think too much and just said it casually. But Bai Luoyu was so shy that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. There was not only  There is eldest brother, as well as Deputy Commander Tang and Chief of Staff Zhao!

    Looking at Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe with smiling eyes, Bai Luoyu stammered and said in panic: "Master, Master, I'm leaving now!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

    "Wait a minute!" Before Bai Luoyu could move, he was stopped by his teacher again. Tang Qiuli lowered his head and took out three tins of milk powder from the cabinet and said, "This is foreign goods. Good milk powder. Look at your face.  It¡¯s not quite right. If you stay up late, take it back and drink it when you¡¯re hungry. It¡¯s nutritious! If Battle comes back and sees you like this, don¡¯t blame me as your brother for not taking good care of you!¡±  Then he stuffed the milk powder into Bai Luoyu's arms.

    After Bai Luoyu left holding the milk powder with red eyes, Tang Qiuli picked up the document bag. After opening it and reading it, he couldn't help but frown. This was the number of the troops being mobilized by the US military to the west coast.  As well as the information on the establishment and weapons and equipment situation, it is very detailed. The work of Yu Deshui's intelligence office is still very efficient.

    Tang Qiuli handed the information to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and said, "Brother Qiusheng, Yuhe, take a look, what do you think?"

    Zhao Yuhe read it carefully first, then handed it to Tang Qiusheng, and then said: "Commander, according to the current deployment and weapons and equipment of the US military, if the Japanese want to?I'm afraid it will be very difficult to land on the coast. Even if you force a landing, you will be counterattacked by the US military!  "

    Tang Qiuli turned his attention to Tang Qiusheng and asked, "Brother Qiusheng, what do you think?"

    Tang Qiusheng said calmly: "Yuhe's view is reasonable. In terms of the current equipment of an infantry division of the US Army, it is several times more than that of a first-class Japanese division. The asymmetry of firepower may make it difficult for them to land on the beach at the beginning."  During the battle, the Japanese army will suffer very heavy casualties and will not be able to gain a foothold at the landing site!¡±

    "Furthermore, as far as the current sea transportation capabilities of the Japanese army are concerned, it is impossible to transport more than 500,000 troops at one time for a landing attack and then suffer heavy casualties. It is not easy to seize the bridgehead. The US military has several areas suitable for landing.  , there must be strong defenses built. If the US military continues to carry out high-intensity counterattacks, it is possible to drive the first batch of Japanese landing troops off the Pacific Ocean before the second batch of Japanese landing troops arrive! "

    Tang Qiusheng's words are very objective and practical. In the U.S. Army around 1941, the organization and firepower of an army division still had a great advantage compared to a first-class division of the Japanese army. Although the military strength was not as good as  Japanese troops, but with much greater firepower.

    An infantry division in the US military has between 15,000 and 17,000 men. Most of the soldiers are equipped with semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns. The division's artillery is an artillery regiment equipped with 105-caliber howitzers, with a total of thirty-six artillery pieces and one equipment.  The 155-caliber howitzer artillery battalion has twelve artillery pieces. These large-caliber artillery can provide front-line troops with powerful fire support in both front and depth.

    In addition, it is also equipped with 68 anti-tank guns, 120 mortars, and more than 300 light and heavy machine guns. Each infantry division is also equipped with a tank battalion, equipped with 32 heavy main battle tanks, and one equipped with  The air defense battalion with sixty anti-aircraft machine guns, in terms of firepower alone, exceeded the firepower of two or even three first-class Japanese divisions.

    It¡¯s no wonder that both Tang Qiusheng and Zhao Yuhe are not optimistic about the Japanese army¡¯s landing on the west coast of the United States.

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "I don't think so, Brother Qiu Sheng, Yu He, have you forgotten that Hitler gave free assistance to the Japanese, enough to equip ten first-class divisions with the latest German weapons and equipment?  In terms of firepower, it is more than the current infantry division of the US military. With Yamamoto Isoroku¡¯s tactical command skills, he will not fail to use these new equipment on the Japanese troops in the first round of landing assault!¡±

    "Also, one of the biggest shortcomings of the U.S. military now is that the Navy has lost the ability to actively attack Japanese troop transport fleets and escort fleets in the waters off the west coast of the United States. It can only passively wait for the Japanese attack, and defensive forces are being mobilized.  The defense system along the west coast is not yet fully established."

    With that said, Tang Qiuli walked to the large map, pointed to the west coast of the United States and said: "The west coast of the United States has a long coastline, and there may be landing sites for Japanese troops everywhere. That Yamamoto Isoroku would not be stupid enough to change the main direction of the attack.  Placed in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other places heavily defended by the Allied forces, he will definitely choose a breakthrough point that is most suitable for landing, no more than Eureka, Portland and Tacoma! "

    Tang Qiuli's judgment was accurate. General Yamamoto had indeed chosen Portland as the main landing assault direction. If General Yamamoto had learned that the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, who was far away in Indochina, had already arrived across the vast Pacific.  Will you break out in a cold sweat after seeing through his war plan?

    "Commander, what is the other shortcoming of the US military?" Zhao Yuhe asked urgently. In his heart, he was not completely convinced by the commander's analysis, while Tang Qiusheng was thoughtful.

    Tang Qiuli smiled and continued: "It is the US military's air supremacy that is gradually being lost!"

    "Isoroku Yamamoto is a tactical genius. He cleverly combined the Japanese land-based air force and the naval carrier-based aircraft force to create a beautiful combination of punches. In addition, he had the latest weapons provided by the Germans.  With the help of radar, the Japanese are even more powerful!¡±

    "You see, Yamamoto's tactics are to use uninterrupted large-scale air battles to gradually consume the strength of the US aviation force and wring out the blood of the Americans. The air battle that took place on the west coast of the United States has been going on for more than three months. The Japanese have already  The goal has basically been achieved. According to Yu Deshui's intelligence, the US Army Air Force, which is responsible for the air defense of the West Coast region, has suffered very heavy losses and has reached an unsustainable level! "

    "The main division of the Japanese army with German-style equipment, coupled with the control of the air, the Japanese navy's combined fleet can also provide powerful fire support from naval guns nearby, and choose a landing site where the US military's defense force is weak. With this combination, the Japanese landing will definitely be successful.  ! As long as the follow-up troops can keep up, the Japanese army will have no problem controlling a few bridgeheads! "

    Tang Qiusheng nodded and showed hisAlthough he completely agreed with Tang Qiuli's analysis, Zhao Yuhe still argued: "Commander, your analysis makes sense, but in terms of the current combat effectiveness of the US Army Air Force, it is still quite strong. Don't forget,  The strong industrial strength of the United States is enough to make up for the loss of combat aircraft! I am still not optimistic about the little devil¡¯s landing operation!¡±
