    Zhang Quan didn't answer, but laughed and scolded, "You Zhou Yushan are really capable. My old man came all the way back from East India, and he didn't even drink any water, and even before he could breathe evenly, he gave me a job."  Son?"

    Zhou Yushan frowned and said: "Minister, please read the order from the commander. If there is only a Niangziguan garrison, it will not be able to serve you!"

    "Is it so scary?" Zhang Quan was dubious. After reading the content of the order, he took a deep breath and said, "Yushan, several regiments are going to the Australian battlefield. It's a big move, but it's enough for our logistics department to choke.  , what are your plans?"

    Zhou Yushan, who was so exhausted that he could fall asleep at any time, said with a grimace: "Minister, boats, what we are short of now is boats! According to the instructions of the division commander, the time required is still tight. Solve the problem of transport ships, and everything else is not too difficult.  It¡¯s a matter of course! How about we ask the teacher for a period of grace?¡±

    "No!" Zhang Quan shook his head and said: "Yushan, look at this posture, the division commander is preparing for a decisive battle with the Japs in Australia. The Japs are busy mobilizing troops, and our Logistics Department cannot delay things. In this way, the problem of transport ships,  I'll take care of it, just do whatever you have to do!"

    Tang Qiuli, who was still in Trusan, Sumatra, didn't know that the two giants in the logistics department were so worried about the transfer of more than one million troops to Australia that his hair was almost turning gray. Logistics matters.  He never interfered.

    Yamamoto Isoroku¡¯s combined fleet finally left northern Australia.  Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief as he went to escort the troop transport formation.  At least, there will be no threat to the logistics supply lines in the eastern Indian Ocean in the near future.

    The Japanese have mobilized troops from North America to the Australian battlefield. In fact, it has affected the situation on the Australian battlefield. For example, the Sulu Mobile Corps and the directly-affiliated corps troops that are currently divided into four groups to attack northern Australia can be appropriately deployed.  Slow down the attack speed.  Otherwise, you will become the only one who spits out.

    In addition, Tang Qiuli made some changes to his plan for a decisive battle with the Japanese army on the Australian battlefield. The original plan was for several regiments participating in the Southwest Pacific Campaign to all be deployed on the Australian battlefield to form an absolute decisive blow against the Japanese army.  Strength advantage.  It now appears that as the Japanese army increases its troops on the Australian battlefield, this plan is not perfect.

    Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe studied several times and based on the revised Australian campaign plan.  The following order was issued to each of the affiliated corps, "The troops affiliated with the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, Marine Corps, 29th Corps, and Southeast Mobile Corps. Continue to execute the order to assemble in southern Australia!"

    "The North China Field Corps led by Yuan Jinghao occupied Irian Island, and the First Songhu Garrison Corps led by Jiang Yanming occupied Sulawesi Island. The original mission has been changed and preparations for the southward transfer to Australia will not be made for the time being. Among them, Jiang Yanming's Corps  The troops will immediately go to Java Island to garrison!"

    In the southwest Pacific region, a half-corps of 380,000 troops were left. Tang Qiuli had his own plans to engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese army. Australia was the main battlefield, but the Japanese army could not be allowed to concentrate all its forces.  On the Australian battlefield, most of Yuan Jinghao's regiment and Jiang Yanming's regiment will be a huge threat to the Japanese army's back, forcing the Japanese army to leave a considerable part of their troops to prevent knives from behind.

    In this sense, it will reduce the number of troops used by the Japanese army on the main battlefield. Of course, the best way is for Yuan Jinghao Corps and Jiang Yanming Corps to go south across the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea, attack northern Australia, and fight with the division  The troops in southern Australia attacked the Australian Japanese troops from front to back.

    However, Tang Qiuli was just thinking about it. Yuan Jinghao's Corps and Jiang Yanming's Corps would never dare to cross the sea and go south unless the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was dealt with. A Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was enough to allow two divisions of more than 300,000 troops.  Soldiers, the sea is stained with blood!

    After receiving Tang Qiusheng's report on the new changes in the Japanese army in Australia, Tang Qiuli was not too surprised. It was simple. The Japanese army had deployed reinforcements from North America, which would definitely encourage the disadvantaged Japanese army on the Australian battlefield.  The Japanese troops in Australia now are not as easy to fight as they were some time ago!

    Tang Qiuli sent a telegram back to Tang Qiusheng, "Brother Qiusheng, I agree with your decision to order all offensive forces to delay the advancement. Currently, the battlefield in central Australia is in a stalemate. We do not need to pay heavy casualties in order to achieve a breakthrough speed."  !¡±

    "Once the Japanese reinforcements arrive on the Australian battlefield, the situation on the Australian battlefield will inevitably change dramatically. Once the Japanese army has sufficient strength, it will inevitably launch a full-scale counterattack. Therefore, the troops must be prepared to retreat to southern Australia at any time!"

    The Southeast Mobile Corps and the directly-affiliated Corps are payingAfter a certain amount of casualties, they can attack to northern Australia. However, after the occupation, they will face a counterattack of more than 140,000 to 500,000 Japanese troops. Therefore, such an occupation is meaningless, not to mention the transfer of Yamamoto.  The fifty-six combined fleet has achieved its goal.

    As the troops commanded by Tang Qiusheng slowed down their attack, the pressure on the Japanese troops on the battlefield in central Australia was greatly reduced. The battle lines were basically fixed at Fedora, Walkup and Huonden. This also made the Japanese garrison  The commander of the Australian Army, Lieutenant General Morishita, has changed from the panic and anxiety before to the current confidence. He is even actively planning a local counterattack plan.

    In the telegram to the base camp, Lieutenant General Morishita swept away the previous fear of impending disaster and became full of confidence, "Headquarters, after several days of hard fighting, our imperial troops stationed in Australia fought bravely and did not fear the bushido of casualties.  Spirit, hundreds of thousands of troops of the China Division were attacked, blocking the front line with Fedora, Workop and Huonden in central Australia, and caused huge casualties to the China Division troops! "

    "Based on the current situation on the battlefield, there is no doubt that the China Division troops have lost their offensive spirit. Morishita has absolute confidence that northern Australia will be safe within five months, and that the imperial soldiers stationed in Australia, as well as those from the southwest, will  On the Pacific battlefield, the imperial soldiers who retreated to Australia were vigorously reorganized by the Ministry of Commerce and regained their morale to fight bravely. The Ministry of Commerce was more confident and commanded more troops in the Australian battlefield to inflict heavy losses on the China Division! "

    Lieutenant General Morishita's meaning is very obvious, that is to tell the base camp that he can not only command a demoralized and semi-remnant unit that has retreated to Australia, and give the division a head-on blow, but also have the ability to command more troops. The future of Imperial Australia  The position of battlefield commander must belong to me!

    It is said that when the telegram from Lieutenant General Morishita reached the hands of the Minister of War and the Chief of General Staff of the base camp, General Koichi Mineuchi, he just said, "Mediocre!" Then the telegram was thrown into the wastebasket.

    Koichi Mineuchi knew very well that even if he did not make a deal with Navy Minister Nagano Shuzan and let Yamamoto Isoroku regain military power in Australia, Morishi would not be able to take the position of commander of the Imperial Australian battlefield. This man was unbearable.  Yes, my favorite is Yanzaburo Ito.

    Thinking of Genzaburo Ito, Koichi Mineuchi also had a headache. According to the Emperor's decree, since the interests of the Japanese Empire in North America are only a few points and a narrow passage, there is no need to leave too many troops.  A division of more than 60,000 people is sufficient.

    As a result, the North American Combat Command, the largest overseas military group in the empire and the most strategically important one, became an empty frame. The most pitiable thing was Ito Genzaburo, who performed brilliantly after taking over the post of North American Combat Commander.  The battle was not fought, but they were scorned by the Germans at every turn. In the end, more than 1.6 million elite soldiers and generals under his command were transferred to Australia, and the dignified General Commander of the Empire's North American Operations Command commanded three divisions.  There are more than 60,000 people. How is this different from a local garrison commander?

    Ito Genzaburo was so frustrated that he still had to deal with the Germans. Naturally, full of complaints, he couldn't help but pour out his bitter words to Minai Hikaru. He considered himself the most unlucky among the Imperial Army generals.  A person's farts hit his heels.

    Come to think of it, on the Australian battlefield, Genzaburo Ito had a brilliant record and single-handedly captured Noda's Australian continent. However, with an order from the base camp, all his troops were transferred to the North American battlefield. The designation of the Imperial Australian Army was revoked, and he  After getting the deputy position of deputy commander of the North American Combat Command, he was not worthy of Yamamoto Isoroku of the Navy. In the end, he could only pack up his bed and get out of the house in despair, and served as an insignificant military affairs officer at the base camp.

    After finally sitting on the throne of the commander of the North American Combat Command, in the blink of an eye, all the troops under his command were transferred. It was really difficult to keep up. After step by step, the strategic focus of the empire shifted to Australia again.  But he left Australia and settled in North America. What is this?

    Genzaburo Ito was upset and depressed all day long, and Koichi Mineuchi felt uncomfortable. He understood the depression of his beloved general, and he regretted it. If he had known this, why would he have broken up with Nagano Shuzan and fought for North America?  The throne of commander of the headquarters is now impossible. Even if he wants to let Ito Yanzaburo serve as the commander of the Australian battlefield of the empire, it is impossible. Isoroku Yamamoto of the navy has long been an unofficial candidate.

    Unlike Koichi Yoneuchi and Genzaburo Ito of the Army, General Yamamoto, who commanded the combined fleet and returned to the Pacific to escort the Army, has been in a very comfortable mood in the past few days. He once again has the lofty ambition to conquer the world. After all,  The reason is probably that he stayed away from the China Division's land-based aviation and returned to his familiar territory.

    General Yamamoto, who was in an excellent mood, became the former UnitedThe image of the commander is familiar to all officers in the fleet, and Admiral Yamamoto's current thoughts are not just as simple as escorting the army. He wants to turn this escort into the best opportunity to lure and annihilate the China Division fleet.
