    Regarding Tang Qiuli's answer, Shan Hu was quite speechless. He rolled his eyes and said, "Bluffing, insidious and cunning!"

    "Alas!" Tang Qiuli sighed, and said with seemingly endless emotion: "Huzi, this is the political struggle between countries. You won't understand it no matter how much you say it!"

    The two of them went to another room in the villa and were bored, so they talked about some past memories of their youth. As they were talking, the phone in the room rang. Shan Hu picked up the phone and said, "I'm Huang Shanhu, oh, Shen Chu."  £¤f. . . . Great, I¡¯ll tell the teacher right away!

    "Is this from Shen Jun?" Tang Qiuli asked.

    Shan Hu said cheerfully: "It's Shen Jun calling. The matter over there has been solved. They have been wiped out. None of the dozen or so little devils' ace agents have escaped. Shen Jun informed us that we can return to the frontline headquarters."  "

    In Los Angeles on the North American continent, in the East Point Command Headquarters of the Independent Division, after reading the telegram from the division commander, Liu Tiehan first laughed "haha" several times, then slammed the table and said to Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the East Point: "Ketian  , The division commander is really a master, look at this telegram, you didn¡¯t expect that the division commander can even turn prisoners into gold, what a big deal!¡±

    Yang Ketian received the telegram, and after reading it, he couldn't help but hold his stomach in joy, "Deputy division commander, the division commander's skills are really amazing. No wonder, when we fought the Italian army, the division commander emphasized the need to make an emergency landing and capture as many prisoners as possible. It turns out that  The backup is here!¡±

    Liu Tiehan laughed so happily that he suddenly stopped laughing and said to Yang Ketian: "Ketian, in the name of the headquarters, you immediately issue an order to field hospitals at all levels. We must do our best to treat the sick and wounded among Italian prisoners of war.  Rescue. Don¡¯t kill too many people. They are not prisoners of war, but gold bars that can breathe and are worth a lot of money!¡±

    After finalizing the exchange of Italian prisoners of war for ransom, the remaining matters were left to Liu Tiehan to handle. Tang Qiuli's attention returned to the air battle against the Japanese mainland. This was an attack on the Japanese mainland.  prerequisites.

    On Iwo Jima, the main island of the Iwo Jima Islands in southern Japan, Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, commander of the Japanese garrison and commander of the 109th Division.  He looked at the order from the general staff of the base camp with straight eyes, "Order, all your troops will attack immediately to destroy the China land-based aviation airport on Chichi Island in the Ogasawara Islands, completely annihilate the China Independent Division troops on the island, and firmly  Control the island so that it cannot become a forward base for air strikes on the empire¡¯s mainland!¡±

    "In addition, the Imperial Army's Iwo Jima Garrison Command, from now on, will be renamed the Ogasawara Islands Garrison Command, and Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, commander of the 109th Division, will serve as the garrison commander!" In one sentence, No. 10  There are more than 20,000 people in the Ninth Division.  From now on, we will consider the Ogasawara Islands as our home. If we don¡¯t capture the Ogasawara Islands, you will be embarrassed to live!

    The command is so simple.  In the eyes of the big guys at the base camp, it¡¯s as simple as drinking a glass of sake.  But in the eyes of Lieutenant General Kuribayashi Tadamichi, it was almost like a reminder.  Since the Ono Air Force on Iwo Jima was completely wiped out by the China Independent Division fleet, and then the China Independent Division troops occupied the Ogasawara Islands, what kind of life have the more than 20,000 soldiers of the 109th Division lived?

    Supplies were cut off, and maritime connections with the mainland were cut off. In front of them was the endless Pacific Ocean, and behind them were the Ogasawara Islands occupied by the China Independent Division. Iwo Jima was sandwiched in the middle, hanging alone overseas. They were always on tenterhooks, worried about the attack of the China Independent Division fleet. Every day  They were in panic all day long, and the food was almost gone. Now, they could only rely on the soldiers to go fishing in the sea to keep themselves from going hungry.

    The commander of the Kuribayashi Chumichi Division did not understand why the China Independent Division fleet did not attack Iwo Jima. He would rather fight with the Chinese soldiers. If he died, he would be considered loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, and he had fulfilled his role as an emperor.  It is human duty, but the Chinese fleet will not come to fight. This life of fear is really not for humans to live.

    Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Kuribayashi became angry at the order from the base camp and ordered the 109th Division to attack the Ogasawara Islands. To put it lightly, the Iwo Jima garrison headquarters did not even have a few troop transport ships and more than 20,000 soldiers. Could it be that  After swimming over, there were escorting warships, and even more empty-handed. If those gunboats were also considered warships, the order from the base camp was equivalent to telling the 109th Division to die!

    In fact, when the general staff of the base camp issued this order, it was not that they were not clear about the current situation of the 109th Division. The bosses knew very well that Iwo Jima was already an abandoned child, and the mainland did not have the ability to bring more than 20,000 soldiers into the army.  If the soldiers are brought back, the defenders of Iwo Jima will sooner or later be wiped out by the China Independent Division.

    Since he was an abandoned son, he should play his final role for the empire. The headquarters did not expect the 109th Division to retake the Ogasawara Islands, but still issued an order to attack in full. The 109th Division was wiped out by the China Independent Division.  Before, playing the final role is the most fundamental purpose of the base camp.

    ? ?The order cannot be disobeyed. After receiving the order, Lieutenant General Kuribayashi pinched his nose and began to prepare for the attack on the Ogasawara Islands. The problem of the wine ships must be solved first. More than 20,000 soldiers were dispatched, and only a few small transport ships were needed.  Under the orders of Lieutenant General Kuribayashi, the Japanese army on Iwo Jima collected all available boats, even the fishing boats of the few Japanese fishermen on the island, and requisitioned them unconditionally.

    After more than a week of scraping together, they managed to scrape together enough ships that could transport more than 20,000 people at a time. Then, they modified the gunboats and installed a few more small army artillery pieces, which could be regarded as escort warships.  In preparation, the 109th Division of the Japanese Army consisted of more than 20,000 soldiers. Except for one brigade left to guard Iwo Jima, the rest of the troops, under the command of the division commander Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, took advantage of the good weather with no wind or waves.  , a very tragic killing to the Ogasawara Islands.

    The Japanese army's strange troop transport fleet and escort gunboats were discovered by two warships of the Southern Fleet monitoring the Japanese army on Iwo Jima less than two hours after leaving Iwo Jima. However, they did not alert the Japanese army for the time being, but reported the situation to the southern attack  Troop Command.

    Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands has now become an important base. In a newly built simple house, Admiral Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the independent division and commander-in-chief of the southern offensive force, handed the telegram to the commander of the Southern Fleet who had already rushed back.  General Tang Qiuquan and Lieutenant General Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flying Group, waited for both of them to finish reading, then asked with a smile: "What do you two think?"

    Le Yiqin said disdainfully: "Since the little devils are here to die, let's help these bastards. Leave this matter to me. Send out two regiments of bombers, bomb them, and send all the little devils to the Pacific Ocean to feed the sharks."  !¡±

    Tang Qiuquan smiled and said, "Brother Qiusheng, do you plan to take the opportunity to take Iwo Jima?"

    "That's what I meant!" Tang Qiusheng nodded and said: "The 109th Division of the Japanese Army on Iwo Jima came out in full force with the purpose of attacking the Ogasawara Islands. No matter why the Japanese suddenly went crazy and made such a death move, for us  It is an excellent opportunity for us. At first, the division commander asked our southern offensive troops to abandon the capture of Iwo Jima and instead capture the Ogasawara Islands. I don¡¯t know what the reason was? "

    "Now, the opportunity has come. According to the report of the warship monitoring the Japanese army on Iwo Jima, the 109th Division is all out this time, and Iwo Jima must be empty. I decided to send a brigade of troops to occupy Iwo Jima. As for the death penalty,  The Japanese army, leave it to your fleet to deal with it!¡±

    At around three o'clock in the afternoon that day, the 109th Division, with more than 20,000 people commanded by Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, was still approaching the Ogasawara Islands at the speed of a turtle crawling on the sea, when suddenly they appeared on the sea in front of them.  There are dozens of warships in the Southern Fleet and two aircraft carriers.

    Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi's face suddenly turned pale. He put down his telescope and said indifferently to Major General Koji Ishikawa, chief of staff of the division: "Ishikawa-kun, convey my order and immediately launch an active attack on the China Independent Division fleet and get closer.  China warship, the time has come for us to serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!¡±

    With despair in his eyes, Chief of Staff Ishikawa took the initiative to attack dozens of warships and two aircraft carriers of the China Independent Division fleet with a few gunboats and a patchwork of troop carriers. This was a suicidal attack. The next moment, he saw,  The trajectories of countless flying shells appeared in front of me.

    Colonel Tu Guoxi, commander of the Third Squadron of the Southern Fleet of the Independent Division Fleet, commanded the fleet to cover all the ships of the Japanese 109th Division, including those gunboats, in a hail of bullets.  There was no suspense about the massacre. After more than half an hour, the sound of gunfire subsided, and corpses of Japanese soldiers and broken shipboards floated on the sea. More than 20,000 people from the Japanese 109th Division, under the command of the division commander Tadamichi Ribayashi,  In one fell swoop, the entire army was wiped out.

    The warships of the Third Squadron sailed past the floating corpses of Japanese soldiers and headed towards Iwo Jima. The aircraft carrier-based aircraft took off at the same time. A large group of Japanese troops left behind on Iwo Jima quickly disappeared in a burst of fireworks. The few who survived  Ten Japanese soldiers fled deep into Iwo Jima.

    Later that day, Major General Geng Zhijie, commander of the 12th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Regiment of the Independent Division, commanded the troops to land on Iwo Jima. He quickly took control of the entire island and dispatched a small team composed of the backbones of the reconnaissance companies of each battalion.  Responsible for searching and destroying the remaining Japanese soldiers.

    Geng Zhijie is an experienced battlefield veteran. He knows very well that bombing alone cannot kill all the Japanese troops on Iwo Jima. If there are fish that slip through the net, there are hidden dangers on the island. He does not want to be punished by a few bereaved dogs.  The order he gave to each team was, "Don't even let go of a Japanese rat on Iwo Jima!"

    After receiving Geng Zhijie¡¯s report, Tang Qiusheng¡¯s expression was calm. He immediately reported the news of the occupation of Iwo Jima to the division commander and put forward his own opinions.Seeing that, the logistics department immediately began to expand Iwo Jima as an important base for the southern route troops to attack the Japanese mainland.

    Of course, the happiest thing is Le Yiqin. There is a ready-made field airport on Iwo Jima, and he can expand his fleet again.
