"Judging from the photos taken by the reconnaissance aircraft, this counterattack has achieved the expected results!" Lu Zhuoran said:

"Many cities in Japan were set ablaze, industries were further damaged, the people had no sense of security, and the military became increasingly powerless!"

The fragile Japanese navy dared to sneak attack the Bohai Fleet. After learning this news, Xie Chengrui agreed without any hesitation to the counterattack of Bohai Fleet Commander Yang Wanquan.

Although the losses of the Bohai Fleet were not large, in comparison, the losses of the Japanese Navy were heavy, and their elites were almost lost in the battle.

But counterattack is necessary!

Let Japan know that the most important thing they should do is wash their necks and wait for the Chinese soldiers to come and kill them, instead of harboring any so-called sneak attacks and resistance.

The rise of this thought is original sin and must be punished.

China had the absolute strength to land on the Japanese mainland, but the reason why it did not do so was influenced by other allies and post-war interests.

Japan had better recognize this clearly and not think about attacking the Chinese army.

The Chinese army can take the initiative, but Japan cannot.

In short, Japan can only be the one being beaten and cannot fight back.

Otherwise, there will be overwhelming revenge, and the price will be unbearable.

"I hope Japan will recognize its situation as soon as possible and stop carrying out stupid suicide attacks!"

Xie Chengrui shook his head slightly,

"I don't know how long Kuniaki Oiso can serve as prime minister. Who will form the cabinet after he is forced to resign?"

Lu Zhuoran thought for a while and said:

"No matter who takes over as prime minister, they cannot change the current war situation."

Xie Chengrui did not dwell too much on this issue and asked about other things.

Lu Zhuoran reports one by one:

"The Second Expeditionary Fleet has received due respect in Guam. The United States and the United States are very curious about our new warships, but they can only take a rough look at it and cannot get to the bottom of it. I heard that many people are scratching their heads and feeling uncomfortable!"

"The Second Expeditionary Fleet has arrived at Wrangel Island and has also received a grand reception from the Mao Xiong."

"The two fleets will stay in Guam and Wrangel Island for three days, and then head west."

"In the Indochina Peninsula, with the cooperation of the navy and the army, the East Route Army successfully captured the Da Nang and Hue areas, which are known as the first pass in Annan. After that, it was a vast plain, straight into the Mekong Delta plain!"

"The West Route Army has successfully captured Bangkok and has successfully joined forces with the Central Route Army in the area north of Bangkok!"

"The remnants of Japan's Sixteenth Army and Fourteenth Army have all been driven to the Mekong Plain. The next battle to liberate the Indochina Peninsula will proceed very smoothly. Perhaps the peninsula war can be resolved in about a month and a half!"

"Wang Laohu is already planning what will happen after the liberation of the peninsula."

"Oh?" Xie Chengrui became interested and asked:

"What did he think about?"

Lu Zhuoran still maintained a serious look, pointed at the map and said:

“The first is the Malay Peninsula!”

"Singapore, the southernmost tip of the peninsula, is the headquarters of Japan's Southern Army and the seat of Marshal Juichi Terauchi!"

"The battle to liberate the Indochina Peninsula no longer requires the strength of a corps. Wang Laohu's opinion is to draw two armies from the Central Army and move south along the peninsula towards Singapore!"

"The navy dispatched the Western Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet to support the battle on the Malay Peninsula from the east to the west!"

"The aircraft carrier battle group enters the Strait of Malacca and the Gulf of Siam to accelerate the destruction of Japan's Southern Army!"

Wang Laohu never attended a real military academy and only participated in a few short officer training courses.

In terms of international relevance, it is slightly lacking compared to Lu Zhuoran, Zhang Shengqing, Xiao Jiang and others.

But he still maintained the simplicity and integrity of a soldier.

Japan is destined to be destroyed. It seems to Wang Laohu that the biggest competitors on the Eastern battlefield today are other Allied forces.

It is obvious that whoever liberates the area will occupy it after the war, and whose country has the greatest influence on this land.

The most important thing at the moment is not to attack the Japanese, but to seize territory.

According to the agreement of the 1st Congress of the Anti-Fascist Allies, China's status as a suzerain was recognized.

China has sovereignty over the Indochina Peninsula, but places further away such as the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia are beyond its reach.

After liberating the Indochina Peninsula, the army should continue to move south to control various strategic locations.

Xie Chengrui and Lu Zhuoran quickly understood what Wang Laohu meant, and the latter continued:

"Yamashita Tombun's 25th Army held fast to the Philippine Islands. Under the three-dimensional firepower of the United States Navy and Army, Yamashita Tombun was defeated step by step and could hold on for another month at most!"

"The Pacific Fleet has already invested part of its main force in Indonesia, and its intention to seize territory is very obvious!"

"in addition………"

Lu Zhuoran paused.

"Intelligence shows that the United States' new aircraft carrier battle group will also enter the Eastern battlefield during this period."

"The new aircraft carrier battle group did not go to support the European battlefield, but came to the east. The intention couldn't be more obvious!"

Xie Chengrui's brows wrinkled.

"Military operations are a continuation of political struggle!" he lamented:

"The situation is great, everyone wants to pick peaches!"

"Do you agree with Wang Laohu's opinion and let them start to recover the Strait of Malacca?" Lu Zhuoran asked.

Xie Chengrui walked around in front of the map, and his expression became determined after he stopped.

"Agree to Wang Laohu's request for combat. The Navy's Western Fleet and South China Sea Fleet will cooperate with the Army's operations!"

"Order the Yellow Sea and East China Sea Fleets to step up war preparations and strive to launch an operation to recover Taiwan Island in mid-June!"

The Allies have already come to seize the territory. You must not hesitate at this time and strike first.

"Order the Great Wall troops to go deep into the Ryukyu Islands and cut off the Japanese Navy's sea transportation lines!"

"The navy will attack the Ryukyu Islands while recovering Taiwan, and strive to capture these places as soon as possible!"

"yes!!!"

………

Life for Juichi Terauchi, Tomofumi Yamashita and others was getting more and more difficult. They were almost fighting independently, receiving neither support from the base camp nor support from each other.

It can be said that the defeat of the Southern Army has been determined, and Yamashita Fengfumi, Honma Masaharu and others will be beyond redemption.

Faced with such a desperate situation, the Japanese Southern Army did not give up.

Even if they are skinny and skinny, even if they don't have a complete bayonet, driven by fanatical militarism, they will still howl and launch a desperate charge.

Almost no one surrendered, and the Allies could not capture prisoners at all.

All the Japanese on every position were dead. They even killed their relatives who were accompanying the army with their own hands, regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young.

Every position was a dead end, which made the Allied troops who captured the position lament.

Despite this, the war will continue until the day Japan unconditionally surrenders.

After receiving the consent of the General Staff, Wang Laohu took quick action.

The Western forces that were originally wandering in the Andaman Sea also eagerly headed towards the Strait of Malacca. Fleet Commander Pan Changming only had Singapore in his eyes.

After the liberation of Bangkok, Wei Junru led the administrative staff to officially enter the area and took over the administrative affairs of the entire Siam. Everything was done well.

After the Central Route Army and the West Route Army joined forces, they gained great momentum and worked hard to find the remaining main forces of the Japanese Sixteenth and Fourteenth Armies for a decisive battle.

Wang Laohu's Southern Expedition Army headquarters is still located in Kunming. When he heard about what happened in Nanchang and Changsha, he just curled his lips and had no intention of doing the same thing in Kunming.

Hastily interfering may be superfluous and damage the overall layout of the Administrative Committee.

He devoted all his energy to the southern battlefield and did his job well.

The army was advancing steadily, but Wang Laohu was scolding his mother more and more fiercely, thinking that the advancement speed of each unit was still too slow. His roar was often remembered in the headquarters.

The staff officers at the headquarters have become accustomed to their commander's roars, because in their impression, the more unsuspicious the battle, the grumpier the commander-in-chief's temper.

General Stilwell couldn't stand Wang Laohu's violent temper and no longer gave him the post of chief of staff, but he had not yet left the Southern Expeditionary Army headquarters.

"General, the Chinese people's appetite is really too great. You must let them slow down their offensive pace and buy some time for the Pacific Fleet to redeploy."

A United States captain who appeared to be the military attache stationed in China but was actually a senior CIA agent said to General Stilwell.

General Stilwell smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"This is simply impossible!"

"That king is an angry rhinoceros. He can't listen to anyone's advice."

"Besides, all the troops are advancing at great speed. It is impossible to order a slowdown in the attack at this time."

The captain sighed:
Chapter completed!
