Zhang Lingfu was sitting on an armchair, holding a parasol on his head. There was a small table in front of him. On the table was a Yixing handmade purple clay pot, sipping tea leisurely, and behind him , is the blue flag symbolizing one's own base camp. x23us. com
After taking a sip of Xiang Ming, Zhang Lingfu narrowed his eyes with pleasure, thinking that this victory came too easily. He thought it would be a fierce battle, but Xu Rui was too arrogant and only sent Langya to fight. I simply gave up, believing that it wouldn't be long before I could get news of victory.
This time, the 74th Army not only defeated the New Sixth Army, but also defeated Xu Rui's third regiment. The 74th Army really gained a great reputation.
Zhang Lingfu shook his head proudly, feeling that I was the best in the world.
"Buzz..."
A sound of motor sounded from a distance. At first, Zhang Lingfu thought he heard it wrong, but the sound got louder and louder. At this moment, a plane flew from the sky in the distance. Zhang Lingfu thought that the Yankees were really capable of causing trouble and even sent planes to reconnoiter the exercise.
However, the next moment, Zhang Lingfu was no longer calm. He saw small white flowers appearing from below the plane. This was the first time that Zhang Lingfu saw someone skydiving. What was going on
Just as I was thinking about it, an officer behind me said, "Master, could it be Xu Rui's people parachuting?"
Zhang Lingfu was a little panicked when he heard this, and said: "The guard company will go to the skydiving area immediately. If Langya is really parachuting, they must be eliminated!"
"yes!"
More than a hundred soldiers from the guard company hurried away into the distance. As a result, Zhang Lingfu was left with only a dozen guards guarding him.
Zhang Lingfu's heart tightened slightly. He thought that Langya was really brave and actually thought of parachuting. I heard that Langya was always used to beheadings. It seemed that these paratroopers must be coming for him, but with these few The paratroopers won the exercise, and Langya underestimated himself.
Just as Zhang Lingfu was thinking, he heard a snap behind him. Zhang Lingfu looked back and saw that the big blue flag had been pulled down, and a dozen soldiers in black diving suits appeared out of thin air, holding Thomson Martial Arts in their hands. The submachine gun has already controlled his own guards.
"You..." Zhang Lingfu was shocked.
"Mr. Zhang, you are now our prisoner." A man in a diving suit came over and took off the diving cap on his head. It was Leng Tiefeng.
The blue flag has been pulled down, and Zhang Lingfu himself has been captured alive. Zhang Lingfu knows that in this exercise, the 74th Army was defeated. The defeat was so clean and tidy that in the hands of Langya, his own troops had no room to fight back. , everything is in the calculation of Langya.
"Where are you from?" Zhang Lingfu asked.
Leng Tiefeng replied: "We have been lurking in the sea for three hours."
"So, your so-called paratrooper airdrop is just a bait to lure my guard company out?" Zhang Lingfu asked.
"Yes, otherwise, how could Master Zhang send out the guard company beside him, and how could we succeed so easily?"
Zhang Lingfu took a breath of cold air. Everything was calculated by Lang Ya. He first used a small number of troops to block the attack on the hilltop, and then used paratroopers to airborne to attract his own guard company. However, Lang Ya's real killer move was in the sea water. This was impossible for anyone. It's something no one can imagine.
"The exercise has ended, the two sides have stopped exchanging fire!"
The loudspeaker in front of the auditorium kept shouting.
Lu Xing looked back in surprise and saw that the blue flag had disappeared. He cursed angrily. Although the wolf fangs in front were powerful, they were no longer strong under his own human wave tactics. In another twenty minutes, no, In ten minutes, the red flag will definitely be captured. The situation that was thought to be a sure victory has turned into a tragic defeat. Lu Xing is really unwilling to accept it.
Not only was Lu Xing unwilling to give in, but the senior generals of the 74th Army led by Wang Yaowu in the stands were also unwilling.
Li Tianxia said: "Captain Xu, your troops don't play according to the routine. How can you fight like this? Even if you win this battle, you are still opportunistic."
Xu Rui said: "How can you play according to the routine in a war? Otherwise, if the opponent knows your routine, wouldn't it be a sure defeat?"
Li Tianxia's words were rebuffed by Xu Rui, and Wang Yaowu also asked: "What kind of fighting method are you talking about? If you don't play positional warfare on the island properly, it's both in the sky and in the sea. I've never seen it before."
Xu Rui said: "Today's war is no longer a two-dimensional war, but a three-dimensional war. The battle is not all about the strength of ships and artillery, but the battle for command capabilities, information capabilities, mechanization levels, etc. The wars are still in the past. In terms of model, you can only be beaten, just like the squadron during the Opium War, using cold weapons to fight hot weapons. Times have changed, and those who fall behind will definitely be beaten. This backwardness not only refers to backward weapons, but also to ideological deficiencies. behind."
After listening to Xu Rui's words, Wang Yaowu was thoughtful, and finally nodded and said: "You are right, we will admit defeat in this exercise."
"Commander, we can't admit defeat. They won without force..." Li Tianxia wanted to say something else, but Wang Yaowu glared at Li Tianxia and said, "If you lose, you lose. What else is there to say?"
Liao Yaoxiang on the side also said: "You see, this is the scary thing about Xu Rui. Not only are Langya's weapons and equipment extremely elite, the most important thing is that their combat mode and combat thinking are far beyond ours. Therefore, we all We lost at their hands."
MacArthur also said: "Gentlemen, there is no doubt that Langya's tactical thinking is far beyond our understanding. Perhaps this will be a direction for future operations and is worthy of our study and reference. Today's exercise is over Come here!"
"What's going on? I'm about to attack the top of the mountain, just a little bit away!" Lu Xing walked out of the mountain angrily holding a Thomson in his hand.
Zhang Lingfu's face was as dark as water, and he said: "Shut up, don't embarrass yourself here!"
Lu Xing always obeyed Zhang Lingfu's words. When Zhang Lingfu spoke, Lu Xing immediately shut his mouth. Zhang Lingfu sighed and said: "The exercise is over. Today's exercise, there are too many things that we need to summarize..."
The exercise between the 74th Army and the 3rd Regiment lasted only half an hour and ended hastily. No one expected that the 74th Army would be defeated so simply and completely. This result not only shocked the entire Pacific battlefield* *, also shocked the US military.
MacArthur had a special exchange with Xu Rui for this purpose, asking Xu Rui about the tactical innovations of Langya. Xu Rui gave some answers, but Xu Rui did not have any information about some of the core tactics of Langya, such as the inverted triangle ambush formation. To tell the truth, the main reason for this is that Xu Rui thought about the war on the Korean Peninsula a few years later. If the Americans mastered more advanced technologies and tactics, it would be too detrimental to China. Xu Rui naturally could not let this happen. situation occurs.
In the days that followed, the Pacific battlefield entered a relatively stable period. No one on either side of the war was able to launch a new large-scale attack. The United States continued to accumulate strength and prepared to land on a certain island in the South Pacific.
At this time, the Japanese had learned through intelligence that the Pacific Fleet was continuously increasing its strength. The United States had built a large number of landing ships. It was believed that it would not be long before they would launch an island landing operation.
After calculation, Japan's intelligence agency prepared a judgment that the U.S. military would launch a local counterattack and land on a certain island in the South Pacific. At this time, the Japanese army also decided to continue its attack on the South Pacific Islands. It planned to build an aviation base on Guadalcanal first and send aviation forces forward to cover the attack on Port Moresby on the island of New Guinea. Station on the island of New Guinea. After establishing a firm foothold, gradually advance to the southeast, and finally occupy Australia and regain the strategic initiative.
In order to realize this strategic attempt, the Japanese base camp began to form the 17th Army. The commander of this army was Lieutenant General Hyakutake Haruyoshi, the younger brother of the Emperor's Attaché. The military headquarters was located in Rabaul, New Britain Island.
By the beginning of August, the army had the Nanhai Detachment, the Ichiki Detachment and the Aoba Detachment under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of thirteen brigades. At the same time,
After several months of replenishment, the combined fleet at this time has once again regained its strength. The carrier-based aircraft on the seven main aircraft carriers have been replenished, with a total of nearly 500 carrier-based fighter jets. This number has basically restored the number before the Battle of Midway. scale.
Yamamoto Isoroku immediately ordered that the main force of the combined fleet immediately rush to the South Pacific. At the same time, Yamamoto Isoroku also dispatched more than a hundred shore-based aircraft from the 25th Air Force Company to Rabaul to provide air cover.
At this time, Guadalcanal was under the control of the Japanese army. In order to control the entire Solomon Islands, the Japanese army built an airport on the island. There were 2,700 Japanese engineers and 240 security forces on Guadalcanal, for a total of 2,940 people.
Not long after the combined fleet set off, Nimitz of the U.S. Pacific Fleet received the news. Just a week ago, the United States launched three new aircraft carriers, more than a dozen battleships and heavy cruisers, all of which were assigned to the Pacific Fleet. These aircraft carriers have many Strong combat effectiveness, especially the aircraft carrier, is the core of the fleet. Coupled with the escort of numerous battleships, cruisers and destroyers, the U.S. Pacific Fleet at this time is basically not inferior to the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Moreover, after Xu Rui's suggestion, the US military's Mustang carrier-based aircraft used the latest British-produced engine for the newly produced Wild B-type fighter. Its quality has been greatly improved, and it is completely different from Japan's Zero carrier-based aircraft. Having the upper hand, Nimitz believed that if the Zero fighter encountered this improved Mustang B fighter, it would face a massacre. Nimitz decided to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese combined fleet on Guadalcanal, overcoming the humiliation suffered by Midway and Pearl Harbor before.
At this time, both the U.S. and Japanese armies have set their sights on the South Pacific islands, and a war is about to begin...
