    "Wang Shijie! What is he here for?" Chairman Jiang couldn't help but be startled. In the eyes of his colleagues and subordinates, this current Minister of Foreign Affairs of the National Government is short, fat, serious, and very scholarly. However,  There was nothing important and he never bothered him. He was a subordinate who made Chairman Chiang very worry-free.

    "Could it be related to the Americans who asked Tang Qiu to leave his subordinates and drive them away?" Chairman Jiang suddenly had a sudden thought and ordered the attendant: "Please come in, Minister Wang!"

    Wang Shijie walked in a hurry, with a slight sweat on his face, "Xue Tiao, why are you coming to see me in such a hurry?" Chairman Jiang called Wang Shijie's name and said kindly.

    Wang Shijie wiped the sweat from his face and replied: "Chairman, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just received a written protest from the U.S. Ambassador to China Tadeleus, protesting against our military personnel and the violent expulsion of diplomats from the Allied Forces Headquarters.  "This is a great insult to the Allied Forces and the United States. The US government has made serious representations and demanded that we severely punish the perpetrators and give the US government a satisfactory explanation."

    Wang Shijie didn't know that Zhang Qun didn't have time to inform him of what had happened before, so he believed that only the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Bureau of Military Control had the guts to ignore diplomatic etiquette, drive away the Americans and fight,  They are the proud and powerful generals of the Central Army. However, these people are all the cronies and confidants of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. They may have been ordered by the Chairman. How to explain to the Americans has to be decided by the old man!

    "Mother Xipi!" Chairman Jiang exploded again, "Mother Xipi's Tang Qiuli is gone. You left me a big trouble! Bastard!" He said, putting the water glass on the table.  He fell hard to the ground, shaking with anger.  White lips and blue face.

    "What?" Wang Shijie was taken aback. With a flash of his mind, he understood the general idea, but he still asked: "Chairman, are you saying that it was Vice Chairman Tang's subordinates who drove away and injured the Americans?"

    "Who else could there be besides him?" Chairman Chiang said bitterly.

    "The American protest" involves Vice Chairman Tang, who stomped his feet and caused an earthquake in the country.  Wang Shijie did not dare to make his own decisions and had to obey Chairman Chiang's decision.

    "Let the Americans go to Tang Qiuli to protest!" Chairman Chiang said through gritted teeth: "Xue Ting, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will immediately formulate a diplomatic document about the incident and reply to Tadereus. It must be emphasized that this  This was definitely not the fault of the Nationalist Government, but Tang Qiuli's own decision. I hope it will not affect the relationship between China and the United States!"

    "That's all it can do!" Wang Shijie said with a wry smile.  He knew very well that Vice Chairman Tang dared to do this, which showed that he was not afraid of American protests and had confidence.  He doesn¡¯t take Americans seriously, but he always lacks diplomatic etiquette, right?

    Tang Qiuli was sitting on the special plane, admiring the scenery under the wings.  I don¡¯t know about the fact that the U.S. Ambassador to China, Tadareus, submitted a letter of protest to the Nationalist Government.  I don¡¯t know how Wang Shijie, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State Council, negotiated with the Americans.  Anyway, there is nothing more to go on. Americans don¡¯t protest or shout anymore. The whole thing is over.

    Tang Qiuli may have forgotten this matter a long time ago. In his opinion, if Americans are kicked out, they will be kicked out or beaten. What's the big deal? You Americans went to China.  Come to fan the flames and instigate civil war. If you don't kill, you are already very controlling. What's more, in the United States now, hum!  What kind of role is it?

    After Tang Qiuli returned to Yangon, he stayed in Yangon for three days. In the early morning of August 7, he led his division members to say goodbye to his three wives, and took a special plane to leave Indochina and rush to southern Australia. The route he took was the Eastern Indian Ocean.  Close to the Chagos Islands route, the flight route is always within the combat radius of the independent division's land-based aviation.

    In order to ensure the air safety of the division commander along the route, Major General Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Force, put a lot of thought into it. From the selection of the route to the deployment of escort troops, he personally planned everything to ensure that it was foolproof and strictly confidential.  Even the commander of the escorting fighter group only learned of his specific mission after Tang Qiuli's special plane took off.

    In the airspace of the Northern Mariana Islands, Le Yiqin ambushed Isoroku Yamamoto, but he did not want this scene to happen again to the division commander. For this reason, he dispatched more than 120 escort fighter jets from two regiments.  , and the land-based aviation combat units along the way are all on the verge of war. Once Japanese fighter jets intercept the division commander's special plane, Le Yiqin can mobilize more than 600 fighter jets to provide support.

    Tang Qiuli surprisingly had no objection to such a large escort fleet. That afternoon, after the special plane landed at the Adelaide Field Airport in southern Australia, the first thing he did was to tell Ge Zhenzhuang, Director of the General Staff Division, "  Director Ge, send a telegram to Le Yiqin immediately. We haveLanded safely at Adelaide Field Airport, otherwise, that guy wouldn't be so anxious!  "

    At this time, great changes took place in the battlefield in central Australia. The Japanese troops who had resisted desperately began to retreat rapidly to northern Australia. Especially in the four main offensive directions of the independent division troops, the Japanese troops retreated very simply, even  All of them gave up the favorable terrain conditions. On the surface, it seemed that the Japanese army could not support it, gave up blocking, and had to retreat in large strides to avoid being consumed by the independent division troops on the battlefield in central Australia.

    On this day, the independent division troops attacking from all directions made rapid progress, almost as if they were entering uninhabited territory. The frontal front advanced an average of more than 100 kilometers, and the frontline was directed towards the last home base of the Japanese army. On the front line in northern Australia, there were quite a lot of soldiers pressing down on the border.  momentum.

    "Guanghan, are the Japanese troops on the battlefield in central Australia unsustainable?" After receiving the reports from the commanders of each unit, Tang Qiusheng, the deputy division commander and commander-in-chief of the Australian troops, did not look happy and asked the staff  Longer than light Han arrives.

    Yu Guanghan replied without hesitation: "Deputy Division Commander, although the Japanese troops on the battlefield in central Australia suffered heavy casualties under our army's multiple attacks, they were far from being unable to support themselves. Therefore, the Staff  It is judged that the Japanese troops¡¯ withdrawal across the board should be a conspiracy to lure our troops to continue attacking northward!¡±

    "Hmph! It's an old trick to lure the enemy deeper!" Tang Qiusheng said with a sneer, "It should be the strategy used by Yanzaburo Ito after he took office. We haven't fought each other for several years, and he hasn't made any progress!"

    "Deputy Commander, do you want to order the troops to stop attacking immediately and stay put?" Yu Guanghan suggested that since Ito Yanzaburo's conspiracy has been revealed, the most correct way to respond is for the troops to stop attacking and not be fooled!

    "No!" Tang Qiusheng's eyes were shining with wisdom as he said: "The Japanese army left the solid defense system and retreated, which just created a good opportunity for us. We ordered all the attacking troops to deploy one-half of their strength.  The mechanized troops were mainly used to form a rapid pursuit force, and they took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese troops being exposed in the wild to take a few bites! "

    "The combat principle is to attack quickly and concentrate all firepower, attack quickly and retreat quickly, and strive to focus on annihilation. The depth of pursuit should be controlled within 100 kilometers. At the same time, Wu Zhenjiang is ordered to dispatch fighter jets to provide air fire support. Also, it is necessary to  Send a large number of reconnaissance planes to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in northern Australia!¡±

    "Deputy Commander, you are very ruthless. Old Japanese Ito wants to lure the enemy deeper, so we will take the opportunity to bite him hard and then retreat quickly. It is in vain for him to mobilize heavy troops to surround our pursuit troops!" Yu Guanghan refined!  summed up.

    "Okay, stop flattering!" Tang Qiusheng said with a smile: "Be sure to remind the commanders of the rapid pursuit troops that a depth of one hundred kilometers is an insurmountable limit. Each unit can make specific decisions on the depth of the pursuit based on the situation of the enemy in front of them.  Make adjustments, but don¡¯t break the rules of the headquarters!¡±

    Before Yu Guanghan left, a communications staff officer came in and said, "Report to the deputy division commander and chief of staff. After receiving a top-secret telegram, the division commander, led by the division commander, has arrived in Adelaide, southern Australia, and has established an Australian campaign headquarters there.  !¡±

    "Finally here!" Tang Qiusheng looked relaxed. It was not easy to control such a huge battlefield. Now that Xiaoqiu is here, the burden on his shoulders can be lifted.

    In Darwin, northern Australia, where the headquarters of the Japanese Australian Front is located, the commander-in-chief, General Ito Genzaburo, returned to the headquarters after completing his inspection of the central front battlefield. Before leaving, he gave a letter to Major General Akutagawa, the chief of staff of the front and acting commander of the central Australian battlefield.  , issued an order for all troops on the central battlefield to retreat.

    General Ito is determined to play a big game in northern Australia. The goal is to attack the four independent divisions fiercely on the battlefield in central Australia. To put it simply, it is to lure the enemy deep. In order to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy deep, General Ito also  After spending a lot of money, they did not hesitate to expose the backs of the troops in the central Australian battlefield to the independent division troops.

    To be fair, General Ito would never like this relatively passive strategy of luring the enemy deeper. According to his plan, the battle was not fought like this. It should wait until the hundreds of thousands of troops in the North American battlefield all arrived in the Australian battlefield, with more than two hundred troops.  The total force of ten thousand people was arranged in a line from north to south, attacking from multiple directions, and launched a counterattack against the independent division troops across the board. What they wanted was a majestic crushing force.

    This is in line with his own command habits and the fighting style of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army. However, because of the decadence and incompetence of the former commander of the Central Australia Battlefield, Koji Morishita, the battlefield situation was extremely unfavorable to the Imperial Army, so he forced General Ito to  , before launching a full-line counterattack, fight an outpost battle to lure the enemy deep.

    There are two more important factors that forced General Ito to change his counterattack style across the board. One is, fromTroops from the American battlefield have been mobilized from the Australian battlefield. Although the transportation department has tried their best, there are too many troops to be transported. So far, there are only more than 800,000 troops gathered in northern Australia.  , which made General Ito so anxious that his eyes were on fire.
