¡ª¡ª    go¡ª¡ª>Actually, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang don't want to be trained like this. If others were like this, the two of them would have become angry a long time ago. They can punish or beat them at will, but it is impossible to train others. Unfortunately, this little girl has a special status.  , it seems that she is the third wife of the teacher. If the wind blows in the wrong direction on the pillow, who knows when the day will end?

    It's strange to say that two brave and fierce major generals who dare to fight and kill, fierce men with blood boiling from fire, saw Liu Xinlan who was only over 1.60 meters tall, but they were afraid in their hearts, and just followed  A mouse looks like a cat. In fact, perhaps neither of them realized that their respect for their teacher Tang Qiuli had penetrated deep into their bones, and thus extended to Liu Xinlan.

    If you think about it carefully, you have similar feelings towards Mei Ting and Mei Xue. In addition to the minutes of this meeting, the two people behaved really badly. They made mistakes in the hands of this girl, and they did not dare to say a word when being punished.  , and Liu Xinlan herself was also surprised. When she saw these two people, she couldn't help but want to scold them. They are so stupid, and they don't know how to command nearly a thousand aircraft?

    Not only are the three people strange, but even the hundreds of people in the teacher's group are strange. Liu Xinlan's consistent impression on everyone is that she is smart, gentle and generous, has a sweet smile, and gets along extremely well with everyone in the teacher's group, including the teacher.  After making their love relationship public, they didn't show off the domineering power of a division commander's girlfriend. Why did the two commanders Le and Liu dislike them?

    In the Yangdong frontline headquarters, a beautiful female second lieutenant in her twenties, followed by two dejected major general followers, went in and out of various departments from time to time, and she had become a sight for the division commander!

    Seeing Liu Xinlan coming in with Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, Tang Qiuli took care of Liu Xinlan's loose black hair, glanced at the two of them, and asked, "Xinlan, did the two staff officers bully you?"  Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang shuddered and said to themselves: "Oh my god, how dare you bully her? This little aunt doesn't punish us every day. She doesn't even eat well, and we brothers don't dare to have any temper at all!"

    Liu Xinlan glanced at the two of them and said half-coquettishly: "I don't want to bully me. But I don't want to take care of these two subordinates. They are so stupid. I have never seen such stupid people. They can't even write down the minutes of the meeting."  , I'm really worried, division commander. I have a suggestion. Weren't they used to be in the aviation unit? They must be good at mechanical knowledge. Why don't they go to the Mechanical Repair Center of the Logistics Department? They can repair cars and use their skills.  Advantages!¡±

    Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang broke into sweat and almost cried.  "This girl is even more ruthless. She asked us to repair the car. Two major generals are the repairmen. The hand that flies the plane and the head that directs nearly a thousand planes has beaten the reputation of several little devils' aviation teams. They spend all day working with pliers, wrenches,  Is there any natural reason for dealing with screwdrivers and jacks?¡±

    Tang Qiuli gave Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, who were sweating profusely, a serious look, and said, "Did you hear that? Your direct supervisor is very dissatisfied with your work performance. Don't think that you have always kept your word.  The commander does not take staff work seriously. Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the first brigade of the directly affiliated corps, has been working in the logistics force for three months? Why, are you an exception? If you hear Staff Liu react like this again?  I think the machine repair shop is also a good place.¡±

    Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang were about to collapse.  I really saw the status of this girl in the eyes of the division commander. I wiped the sweat from my forehead, quickly reviewed it, admitted my mistake, and promised to work with peace of mind in the future. I was about to issue a military order. Deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng and the chief of staff were studying the battle deployment.  Chang Feng almost burst into laughter.

    In the past few days, Tang Qiuli was in a good mood. First, the preparations for the attack on Yangon went smoothly, and the battle plan went according to his expectations. The main thing was that a telegram came from the Qingdao Naval Base. At the headquarters of the Logistics Department of the ** Division  With the participation of hospital experts and after several days of treatment and rescue, Tang Yunfei's injuries were completely under control and amputation was no longer needed.

    It's just that Yunfei's injury is too serious and the recovery time will be longer. These are not problems. As long as Yunfei can save his left arm, Tang Qiuli can accept it even if he lies in the hospital for a year or two. He is still young.  Sooner or later there will be a time to return to the blue sky. After letting go of the huge stone in his heart, he is also in the mood to make fun of Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang.

    General Ito Yanzaburo, who was trapped in the isolated city of Yangon, smelled an increasingly dangerous atmosphere from the constant mobilization of the ** division troops. The invisible noose was tightening tighter and tighter, and "every day" continued outside the city.  With the "rumbling" explosion, he couldn't guess what the ** troops were doing, but he was frightened when he heard it.

    He carefully considered the suggestion of Chief of Staff Major General Kawashima. Ito still admired this guy's unique vision. The entire Yangon has become a dead end. Only by retreating south to the Malay Peninsula can there be a glimmer of hope.  , after being awakened by Kawadao, he also saw that that was the way out that Tang Qiuli deliberately left for himself and more than 200,000 soldiers.

    ?Although he did not believe that Tang Qiuli, known as the China Devil, would have such a compassionate heart, the two thoughts of defending and retreating south were constantly intertwined in his mind, making him sleepless and sleepless at night.  Even if they were to die together, Yangon would still be lost in the end. The empire used the elite of the sea, land and air fleet, but it failed to add a trace of defense force to Yangon.

    Tang Qiu was surrounded by nearly a million troops for more than 20 days without attacking, which consumed not only the morale of the imperial soldiers, but also the confidence to die, the huge pressure they maintained at all times, and the successive defeats of the reinforcements. Even Ito  I, myself, am almost exhausted mentally and on the verge of collapse, let alone an ordinary soldier, torture, mental torture.

    Death is not terrible. The samurai of the Japanese Empire firmly believe in the theory of reincarnation. Death is just the beginning of another reincarnation. But they are always faced with the threat of death. They may lose their lives at any time, but they don¡¯t know when they will die. Even death  The scariest thing is not being able to control it in your own hands.

    Ito knew very well what the consequences of the retreat to the south would be. This was different from the Mandalay retreat. There was no luck like that. First, he had to pass the test of His Majesty the Emperor. Just yesterday, Chief of General Staff Zai was reinstated.  Prince Ren, the first telegram was sent to the Southeast Asia Expedition Force Headquarters. There was only one order: "Hold to the death, that is, hold to Yangon to the death."

    As for how to hold on, Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, does not have any useful suggestions. They are all empty and boring spiritual encouragement. Is this useless?  Before he could finish reading the telegram, Ito tore it into pieces. He finally understood one thing: his empire could no longer provide any meaningful help.

    " To defend Yangon requires capital, from troops to weapons and equipment, to the morale of the soldiers. The Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force has no capital, no artillery, aircraft, or any supplies. What can I do to defend Yangon?  Ito didn't know whether he was asking himself or His Majesty the Emperor. He had a feeling of being abandoned by his motherland. This feeling was very bad and had eroded his determination to fight to the death.

    On December 5, Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps of the ** Division, was ordered to come to the Yangtze Front Front Headquarters to accept the combat mission of capturing Hainan Island from the division commander Tang Qiuli in person.

    As soon as he saw the division commander Tang Qiuli, Han Tie's eyes were full of eagerness. Calculating it carefully, Han Tie had not seen the division commander for nearly three years. The Marine Corps had been conducting military training at the Qingdao Naval Base.  After training, they followed the fleet to the Zhanjiang base in Guangdong. In the past three years, the Marine Corps has not fought a single battle.

    This unit, which was transformed from the Yellow River and Henan Defense Line Garrison Corps into the Marine Corps, is also famous among all regiment-level units in the ** Division. Although it is a second-line corps, in the Battle of Kaifeng in 1938, it was  With less than 30,000 troops, the 120,000-strong First Army of the North China Expeditionary Force, which fought hard against the Japanese ace Rensuke Isotani, fought bloody battles in Kaifeng for three days and three nights. Major General Su Jingfeng, the commander of the corps, was killed and more than half of the troops suffered casualties.  And became famous in one battle.

    After three years of blood fighting on the battlefield, the troops were screaming. Tang Qiuli looked at Han Tie, whose face was blackened by the sea breeze and whose body was getting stronger. He nodded with satisfaction and appreciation, "Han Tie, three years."  "I haven't seen you. You said you're in good spirits?" Han Tie smiled and replied, "It doesn't look like you're worrying about that. I just eat and practice every day, and I'm still fat!"

    Tang Qiuli looked at Tang Qiusheng and said: "Brother Qiusheng, have you heard that Commander Han is blaming me? He has been hiding in the snow for three years, and good steel has not been used on the blade. Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. This time  Combat missions are your Marine Corps¡¯ masterpiece!¡±

    Han Tie stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Commander, please give me the order. The more than 90,000 Marine Corps soldiers will live up to their mission and ensure the completion of the mission." Tang Qiuli laughed, what he wanted was to unleash a group of fierce tigers with this energy.  I¡¯m afraid those Japanese trash fish on Hainan Island are not enough for a few bites?

    After pulling Han Tie to sit down, Tang Qiuli said: "The basic situation on Hainan Island is this. The Japanese garrison consists of a second-class division, a Marine Corps regiment, a gunboat brigade and a patrol boat brigade.  There are two coastal defense artillery regiments and three field artillery regiments, with a total strength of about 34,000 to 35,000 people."

    "The original plan was for the fleet to serve as fire cover and carrier-based aircraft to take charge of air strikes. But now the fleet is stuck in the Andaman Sea and cannot rush back to participate in the battle to capture Hainan Island. Therefore, my biggest worry is that the firepower is not strong enough to carry out air strikes among the troops.  After landing, provide suppressive artillery support. Moreover, the Japanese gunboats and patrol boats are a huge threat to the troop ships crossing the sea. What do you think?"

    Tens of thousands of people crossed the sea to fight without warship escort. The Japanese gunboats were the biggest obstacle. Bombers were dispatched. The two sides were entangled at sea and were prone to accidental damage. Without strong artillery cover, just occupying the beachhead and gaining a foothold required a lot of effort.  Pay a considerable amount of moneyPrice, this is what Tang Qiuli is worried about.  ¡ª¡ªover¡ª¡ª>
