Bai Shujie's raid on Luzon Island did not waste his brain cells thinking about any clever strategies and tactics, but brought out the "island hopping tactics" that MacArthur was thinking about and meditating on and had not yet thought through thoroughly.

The so-called island-hopping tactic is to change the method of island-by-island occupation: after occupying the first island, instead of attacking the adjacent second island, jump off several islands, attack the third island and the fifth island, and occupy them, separating the second island group from the fourth island group.

The purpose of the little devil is to hold on to his own turf, as long as you don't fight, he won't leave on his own. This created the best conditions for the attacking troops to "divide and encircle" and "break through each other."

This tactic was originally a tactic invented by Mao Weiren, but MacArthur plagiarized it and played at a super level, and it was actually used in the battle for the Nanyang Islands, making him famous in one fell swoop.

Throughout MacArthur's life, both strategic vision and tactical literacy were useless. Except for hubris, it's not bullshit at all.

This "island hopping tactic" was created -- basically plagiarizing Mao Weiren's patent rights in Jinggangshan.

No matter how the miscellaneous minority of Hari and Hamei in later generations slandered Mao Weiren, the Japanese and American military academies in later generations, and Mao Weiren's military writings are all compulsory courses.

Now that history has proved that MacArthur's "island-hopping tactics" can completely kill the little devils, Bai Shujie is too lazy to continue to worry about it, and he will not commit a crime of plagiarism directly.

Moreover, so far, MacArthur has not figured out this set of tactics, so Bai Shujie doesn't care. If MacArthur figured it out, he wouldn't have waited for Bai Shujie to get caught in the fire.

According to history, it took MacArthur five months to fully conceive a "tactical plan for island hopping" and then submit it to the president for approval.

In other words, Bai Shujie must complete all the tasks of picking chestnuts from the fire within five months, take off the title of "Governor of the Philippines" from MacArthur's head, and completely turn him into a lost dog.

For MacArthur's villain character, Bai Shujie knows a lot about it. Moreover, this time it is to rob the colonies from the American devils, and it is no wonder that MacArthur, the governor of the Philippines, is not crazy.

Bai Shujie knew even with his ass that once he plundered the islands of South Asia, not only MacArthur would go crazy, but the crippled Roosevelt would inevitably go crazy, followed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then the entire US imperialist and US military would go crazy.

Of course, Bai Shujie also has his own confidence -- now that the German mustache Hitler is in the limelight, and although the British devils have escaped death, the threat of the German mustache still exists, so it is impossible for them to recklessly use all their strength to fight for Asian colonies.

The French devils, the Dutch devils, the Belgian devils, and the Filipino devils have died in the country, they don't even have their own nationality, and they are also colonizers and invaders in Asia, and they are not qualified to punish others "on behalf of the whole world"!

The Soviet Union is now entangled with the German mustache and is in a state of self-care. Besides, Stalin did not have the energy or mood to pay attention to the problems here in South Asia at the moment. Unless the little Japanese devils can't please in South Asia, and then they wave their troops north and attack the Soviet Union with the German mustache.

The most important thing is that there is no "United Nations" as a "toy of a great power" at present, and the US imperialists cannot allow themselves to stand at the apex of international morality and form a so-called "United Nations Army," nor can they come up with the title of "upholding justice on behalf of the whole world."

To put it bluntly, US imperialism is nothing more than an aggressor and colonizer, belonging to the status of international bandits, and is no more noble than others. Even if it is fought back, it is just a fight for its own colony.

Bai Shujie's situation is just the opposite: you, the United States, have lost territory, and led the little devils to massacre hundreds of thousands of civilians, triggering a huge international humanitarian disaster. I am an outstanding soldier who protects overseas Chinese and presides over justice "on behalf of the International", which is fair and fair!

Therefore, at the meeting of senior officers, Bai Shujie gave a comprehensive explanation of the key points of this battle: "Use the fastest action to completely eliminate the little devils, and then defend it with danger." At the same time, it is necessary to fight against the American devils going north, the little devils in the west going east, and the little devils in the north going south. We have enemies on all sides, but we must fight to win, and the key is speed! ”

This is a very short time gap, and the total length of the "time window" is three months.

Therefore, all the senior generals from Bai Shujie down know that time is the most critical thing, and "speed" belongs to the deadliest weapon at present.

In MacArthur's hands, there were no more capable soldiers, and all the warships, combat aircraft, and heavy weapons were all lost, and they needed to be replenished at home.

And the American devils lost their troops in the first battle at Midway, salvaged the battleships and aircraft carriers sunk by the little devils for repair, and then sailed to Asia, which will take three months at the earliest.

This is the "time window" that Bai Shujie has been waiting for for two years, and it is also the biggest capital of Bai Shujie's determination to win South Asia.

The biggest strategic mistake of the little devil was to give MacArthur a chance to breathe, and he did not have the grand strategy of "it is advisable to chase the poor bravely" like Mao Weiren.

If the little devils make a big move and completely break through Australia, the Americans will lose their foothold in Asia, and then there will be huge strategic room for maneuver.

Later generations commented on the little devil: "A strategic dwarf, a tactical strongman." "It makes sense.

Based on this understanding, all the high-ranking officers of the Wyvern Expeditionary Force understood that they must completely take Luzon Island and build new fortifications before the American devils react and make a correct judgment, so as to meet the attacks of the Japanese devils and the American devils from all sides!

Liu Zhiliang temporarily changed the combat line, and it was precisely this kind of guiding ideology that he lived in, and then played on the spot and went straight to Huanglong to carry out the beheading operation.

If it is really a battlefield disobedience, don't talk about Bai Shujie, Shi Liancheng will go south to arrest Liu Zhiliang and ask him for the crime, how can he die alone on the northern front.

After Liu Zhiliang gave Wei Ziqiang a death order, he immediately called his chief of staff: "Cui San'er, how is the situation on your Eastern Front?" ”

"The basic situation of the Eastern Front has been decided, and I will leave two regiments to clear the remnants of the enemy, and then hold on to the spot." Cui San'er shouted over the walkie-talkie: "Don't worry, I have led an armored regiment to the south urgently, and we can rush to Manila in four hours!" As long as Wei Ziqiang can hold out for two hours, the overall situation is decided! ”

When Liu Zhiliang heard that there was no problem on the Eastern Front, his heart was finally reassured: "That's okay, I'll leave a tank company in Manila to guard the prisoners!" When you come, you leave behind an armored battalion, and the rest of the troops all go south. ”

"I led two companies and 16 tanks to the south to support Wei Ziqiang, and immediately broke through Gumaca, and I must not let the little devil gain a foothold in López. You must fight to Li Yashibi as much as possible, and you must solve the battle within three days and join Zhang Xiang's big brother! ”

Cui San'er replied in a loud voice: "You go, there is nothing big here, Shi Liancheng should arrive in Manila before me, but his task is to stabilize Dìng Bagak, Cavite and Batangas, and fully control Manila Bay; The task of our third division is to go south, and then go south, until we meet with Zhang Xiang's big brother. ”

At 12 noon on January 1, 1942, the news of Bai Shujie's brazen move in the Philippines has spread all over the world.

Jiang took the lead in issuing a statement: "Severely condemn Bai Shujie for ignoring the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and stirring up right and wrong everywhere." ”

The British government issued a statement expressing "serious concern and uneasiness" about the situation in Southeast Asia. ”

France and the Netherlands are both lost dogs, and although they also want to speak, they are not qualified.

The Americans were unexpectedly silent.

The little devil is originally an aggressor, although making a noise is equivalent to farting.

But the Americans were silent, which surprised Bai Shujie a lot.

In any case, there is no way back now but to move forward.

The three clusters in front sent telegrams back one after another, and the situation and progress were normal, which made Bai Shujie feel a little at ease.

In particular, Liu Zhiliang improvised and directly wiped out the top leaders of the little devils in the Philippines, and also came up with a surrender order from Masaharu Honma, which was simply a stroke of genius.

Although Bai Shujie knew that Masaharu Honma's surrender order had no immediate effect, the psychological blow to the little devil was immeasurable.

After all, as soon as the battle began, the general command was served by the enemy, and the supreme commander actually surrendered to the enemy, and no one can be calm.

If you are uncertain, you will inevitably lose cleanly. This is a truth that has been immutable through the ages.

Bai Shujie knows very well: The biggest problem of the little devil is that from the day the war began, there were disagreements in strategy. Until the final complete defeat, this disagreement was not resolved.

What reassured Bai Shujie was that the Jewish International Legion led by Zhang Xiang turned out to be an iron-blooded army. According to Hou's telegram description, the 1st Panzer Regiment of the International Jewish Regiment did not consider any retreat at all, and after landing, it broke the frontal defense line of the 20th Infantry Wing of the 19th Infantry Brigade in one fell swoop.

They did not wait for the cooperation of the bomber group, nor did they rely on the cooperation of carrier-based aircraft, but directly and boldly penetrated into it, and swooped straight into the Butuan in the north, splitting the two wings of the 19th Infantry Brigade into two with one sword. At the same time, it choked the retreat of a brigade in Kababaran, creating the best situation for the follow-up troops!

In the five hours since the battle began, all the armored units have been advancing at an average rate of 50 kilometers per hour, desperately interspersed, and the farthest has already advanced 300 kilometers in a surprise attack.

The 3rd Tank Regiment of the International Legion rushed westward, reaching the line between Iligan and Malawi, cutting off the link between Mindanao and Malaysia. The headquarters of the 19th Infantry Brigade and the 16th Division of the little devils are about to be destroyed!

The two armored regiments led by Hou Zide himself had already occupied the Davao front line and were storming the 30th Brigade south of Mabel.

"It's almost, the little devil's 16th Division is already angry!" Bai Shujie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Jinxi mark the forwards of all the troops on the map: "Now it's a question of when our second wave of troops will arrive." ”

"The two regiments of Wei Chong's Fourth Division have already taken off, and the transport plane has one more trip to transport the remaining two regiments over." Zhao Jinxi was still a little worried: "After Wei Chong's fourth division passed, there were 100,000 people over there. However, the total strength of the little devils over there is close to 450,000, and the US-Philippine coalition army still has 200,000 people, which is still not easy. ”

Bai Shujie shook his head, and then smiled again: "Hehe, there are no simple things in this world, if you want to extract teeth from the tiger's mouth, you must be mentally prepared to be bitten by a tiger." It's useless to worry, just go with the flow. I'm going to Luzon to command the battle, and then I'm going to organize the transfer of a large army, but it's up to you and Gan Tong! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
