Chapter 385 Who could have leaked that! "Senzuo, you seem to be very distressed?" Meng Fanglia looked at the frowning Cun Yunsheng and asked doubtfully. "Well, this is the telegram that Stilwell just sent, urging us to speed up again." Cun Yunsheng nodded, and then handed over the telegram. After Meng Fanglia read the telegram, he also frowned. "We are already going very fast, how much faster do we need to go?" "What does he seem worried about?" Meng Fangliao asked again. "What else could it be? It's just that I'm worried that the commander of the Southeast Asia Theater will be gone soon. What else could it be? Originally, I thought that the Japanese army's landing in Australia would cause the US military to change its plans. Now it seems that the effect is not very obvious." Yunsheng sighed softly. Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. "MacArthur probably also saw that Stilwell wanted to compete for the position of commander of the Southeast Asia Theater, so he accelerated the pace of the attack." "The only thing that can be done now is to increase support to the Japanese army and let them consume more US troops on Guadalcanal."
In the past, Meng Fangliao would have thought Cun Yunsheng was crazy when he heard this. But since seeing the intentions of the US military, Meng Fangliao's mentality has naturally changed a lot. Now seeing that Cun Yunsheng wanted to increase the strength of the Japanese army, he subconsciously guessed that he wanted to continue to use the Japanese army as pawns and let them consume the US military. "Guadao?" Meng Fanglia looked at Cun Yunsheng and asked. "That's right, it's Guadalcanal, Guadalcanal. This is the island of death." Cun Yunsheng began to recall the tactics used by the US military during the Battle of Guadalcanal to see if they could find a breakthrough in these tactics. . The first is that the US military still fought very conservatively in the Guadalcanal Campaign. Originally, they had an absolute superior force and could take over Guadalcanal in one fell swoop. They might even be able to completely annihilate the Japanese army. After all, when the attack was first launched, there were less than 4,000 Japanese troops on Guadalcanal, most of whom were engineering troops recruited from Korea, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. The result? The . military missed the opportunity, causing Japanese reinforcements to continue to reinforce Guadalcanal. Eventually the battle became a stalemate. The main reason was that there were problems with the . military's intelligence, and the . military was not good at land warfare, so MacArthur did not dare to let the new recruits fight with the Japanese in the woods. From beginning to end, we rely on defense, then counterattack, then defense again, and then attack. In the end, the Japanese army couldn't stand the attrition and chose to voluntarily withdraw from Guadalcanal. Rather than saying that the Japanese army was defeated by the US military, it is better to say that the Japanese army retreated on its own initiative. Another point is that the US military does not know that the Japanese army is good at fighting at night. If you want to enhance the strength of the Japanese army, the best way is to let the Japanese army send more troops to Guadalcanal in advance. Then, with absolute force, they severely damaged the US military. At the same time, he can provide some support.
Such as supplies and ammunition, etc. It can even be reinforced with some anti-tank weapons. Such as the bazooka. He had stored a batch. The reason why it is not equipped to various troops is because the Japanese Doudin tanks are not equipped with bazooka rocket launchers at all. It is such a waste to use this thing to fight US tanks. If these things were used to deal with US tanks, it would definitely be very exciting. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng decided to disclose the information he knew to the Japanese army so that they could prepare early. The . military shed too little blood in this war. He must make the . military shed more blood. I originally thought that when the Japanese troops landed in Australia, the US military would choose to fight the Japanese troops in Australia, but now it seems that my idea is shattered. Then we can only use the islands to consume the . military crazily. As long as the number of casualties is high enough, the US military may change its mind by then. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng immediately arranged for someone to go to Xiangjiang and disclose this information to the Japanese army. … Not long after, Yamamoto Isoroku received the news through Isotani Rensuke that the US military was going to attack Guadalcanal. When he first received the information, Yamamoto Isoroku still looked disdainful. He believed that this was absolutely not true and how could the US military land on Guadalcanal. But Isotani Rensuke said that the person who disclosed the information this time was the same as last time. Thinking of the last time, it was precisely because the other party revealed information that he succeeded in the sneak attack and successfully kept the Japanese army alive for several months. Although it could not change the overall strategy, it also extended the life of the combined fleet for a few months. At this time, Yamamoto Isoroku did not dare to be careless and began to study the authenticity of this information. As a result, the more we study, the more we find that if we really follow this deduction, Then it won't be long before the US military will completely break their island chain defenses, and by then the island chain he carefully built will be completely breached. This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. "How many defenders are there on Guadalcanal now?" After reading the information, Yamamoto Isoroku asked. "Report, Your Majesty Marshal, there are currently less than 4,000 people, most of whom are engineering troops recruited from Goryeo." The intelligence staff reported quickly. Hearing this, Yamamoto Isoroku's expression suddenly changed drastically. "Baga, why are there so few?"
"Your Excellency, Marshal, the Army mobilized some of its elite troops under the pretext that Australia needs a large number of troops, and now the rest are third-line troops." the intelligence staff continued. Hearing this, Yamamoto Isoroku's face turned pale. If others hadn't reminded him, Guadalcanal might have been landed by the US military. Thinking of this, Yamamoto Isoroku took a deep breath. He couldn't panic now. Since the other party told him through intelligence, it meant that there was a remedy. The first is to increase troops. There is no doubt about it. No matter where the troops are drawn from, the island must have more than tens of thousands of defenders, and thousands of people must be stationed on an important island. This is absolutely unacceptable. The second is to strengthen firepower equipment. The strength of the US military lies in its fierce firepower. This is the news obtained from Yamamoto Isoroku's battle. Especially anti-tank weapons. But what the Japanese army lacked was anti-tank weapons. Before this, the Japanese army had no anti-tank weapons. Because they don't need it at all. Facing the weak China, their Doudin tanks were enough to sweep the China Army. But now facing the great powers, their little army is not enough. Especially their tanks are only vulnerable to being beaten. So later the Japanese army began to step up their efforts to imitate anti-tank weapons. It's just that due to resource shortages, their anti-tank weapon production is not high. As for the resources obtained from Tianzhu, most of them were taken by the navy. Who caused the combined fleet to suffer heavy losses and had to build more warships to restore its strength. Thinking of this, Yamamoto Isoroku suddenly felt a headache. The artillery may not be able to be defended. After all, the US military's powerful air force can destroy their artillery positions. When I saw the telegram, it was revealed at the end that anti-tank weapons could be purchased. The most advanced individual anti-tank weapon. Yamamoto Isoroku didn’t believe a word of this. Can anti-tank weapons be used by individual soldiers? He's not a fool. As a result, Isotani Rensuke said that it was true, and he had personally tested it, and it was very powerful. It can easily penetrate the Mizu tank.
The only problem is that the price is a bit expensive. If the Japanese army still had the advantage, Yamamoto Isoroku might not care, and would even fire off cannons to celebrate when the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat. But he would never do that now. Because the Japanese army's advantage is slowly disappearing, intelligence revealed that Mizuo's Pacific Fleet will return to its peak in another month. This is what frightens Yamamoto Isoroku. How long has it been? It took up to three months before and after, and he actually returned to his peak again. The industrial strength of the two sides is completely different. How can we fight? Therefore, the prejudice against the army in my heart disappeared without a trace at this moment. After thinking about it for a while, Yamamoto Isoroku decided to let the Army purchase this batch of anti-tank weapons. In fact, even if he didn't mention it, the Army is still thinking about how to expand anti-tank weapons. Before fighting against the great powers, anti-tank weapons were of little use to them, but after landing in Australia, they felt the oppression brought by the Australian armored divisions, which made them understand the importance of anti-tank weapons. Therefore, Tojo Hideki has received telegrams more than once, requesting increased anti-tank weapon support. "Hmph, weapons are needed everywhere. How can the empire have so many resources to produce those anti-tank weapons." Hideki Tojo looked at the report and threw it aside. The most important thing in anti-tank weapons is tungsten ore. Because tungsten is extracted from tungsten ores, armor-piercing projectiles can easily destroy tanks. But the demand for tungsten ore is very large, whether it is aircraft, cannons, or naval guns. Now the Army is requesting more anti-tank weapons, which means that the share of tungsten ore must be divided. This is sure to cause an argument. This is the reason why Tojo Hideki is troubled. "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto has sent a telegram." At this time, the secretary came in again with a telegram to report. "It's strange that he actually sent me a telegram?" The two sides didn't deal with it very much. Tojo Hideki really didn't expect Yamamoto Isoroku to send him a telegram, which surprised him. After Tojo Hideki read the telegram, he was stunned for a long time. He quickly asked someone to open the map and began to check Guadalcanal. As a result, we were surprised to find that according to the telegram given by Yamamoto Isoroku, the so-called island chain defense may be gone in a few months. At that time, they will be the targets of wanton slaughter by the US military. Thinking of this, Tojo Hideki suddenly panicked. There must be more troops. As for anti-tank weapons, it will be too late to build them soon.
The only solution is to buy it as Yamamoto Isoroku said. After weighing it, Tojo could only sigh and let people spend money to buy anti-tank weapons. … It didn't take long for Cun Yunsheng to receive a reply from the Japanese army. He bought all three thousand bazooka rocket launchers. This made Cun Yunsheng extremely happy. He believed that with his own tips and a large number of anti-tank weapons, he believed that this time the US military would definitely suffer a lot. In fact, things did develop as he expected. After following the landing plan formulated by MacArthur, the . military began bombing Guadalcanal and then dispatched landing troops. As a result, it was hit hard head on. "Asshole, there are Japanese troops everywhere." "Be careful not to step on a landmine." "Damn, why are there so many Japanese troops?" This is the complaint of the American soldiers on the front line, especially the new recruits who were extremely shattered when they saw their comrades fall one after another. Some US military recruits even discarded their weapons and squatted on the ground crying. All this is really cruel to them. MacArthur was stunned when he received the battle report. "Damn, what's going on? Wasn't there only four thousand Japanese troops during the reconnaissance? Now there are more than tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the island, and they are all elites?" MacArthur roared angrily. The amiability of the past was all gone now. The First Marine Division had more than 20,000 men, but lost more than 3,000 men in one landing. This is simply unimaginable. "Dispatch tanks and armored vehicles and find a way to crush these bastards." MacArthur roared again. He would never admit that it was his command that caused the problem. Not long after, he received news of a disastrous defeat on the front line. This time he was completely dumbfounded. It was really incredible that the First Marine Division, which he was so proud of, was defeated so miserably. "Say it again? The Japanese army has a large number of anti-tank weapons? Bazooka rocket launchers?" MacArthur grabbed the collar of the officer reporting in front of him and asked angrily. This is really incredible. The US military's bazooka rocket launcher actually appeared in the hands of the Japanese army. No one would believe it, but it is the fact. The Japanese army used bazooka rocket launchers to continuously destroy American tanks.
The M4 tank, which was originally invincible, can only be defeated when faced with the bazooka rocket launcher. "Damn it, who sold these anti-tank weapons to the Japanese army?" Not only was MacArthur confused, but even Halsey, who was cooperating with the attack, looked confused. If he remembered correctly, this thing should have just been finalized, and as a result, a large number of bazooka rocket launchers appeared in the hands of the Japanese army. More importantly, the Japanese used their own bazooka rocket launchers to hit their tanks. This makes the US military extremely depressed. "Someone must have sold them, otherwise the Japanese army would not have these bazookas. More importantly, I suspect that someone leaked our plan to the Japanese army, otherwise there would not be so many people on the island for no reason." Ha. Erxi said through gritted teeth. This is a plan I made. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid my reputation will be lost. So he must try every means to save it. "Well, that should be the case, otherwise it cannot be explained why the Japanese army seemed to have known that we were coming for a long time, and was equipped with a large number of bazooka rocket launchers. It was obvious that they were waiting for us to attack." MacArthur looked regretful. "Could it be him?" Halsey was sick and rushed to the doctor, directly pointing the finger at the Australian commander, Marshal Thomas Bremen. Because they refused to reinforce Australia, it is not impossible that Marshal Thomas Bremen held a grudge and disclosed this information to the Japanese army. "Probably not." After pondering for a while, MacArthur decided that it shouldn't be the other party. "Who could that be?" Halsey said bitterly. (End of chapter)
