All the confusion in communication command was deliberately unleashed by Qin Xiaosu. Of course, this is not because he and Chu Tingchang reacted quickly, but because they had a plan, although the explosion of the nuclear bomb really scared them, but in essence, it was still expected. So Qin Xiaosu had a set of plans in his hand, but he didn't expect to use it.

With the help of a computer-controlled radio frequency system, all pre-prepared messages cannot be dispersed at once. It is completely simulated according to the natural reaction of Zhou Youfu's troops after a nuclear attack. Qin Xiaosu collected the situation at that time, the radio of Zhou Youfu's command organ was out of order and could not contact the outside world, while the army radio stations on the periphery repeatedly called to try to find him.

The Japanese army's sneak attack plan was dangerous everywhere, relying on luck and coincidence, and such a plan would inevitably fail by chance. In the initial phase of the programme, the Yugoslav authorities drew up a plan for lighting the fire with a ground team to indicate the target. However, due to the strict restrictions on radio communication, communication between the front and the rear was extremely difficult, and deviations occurred. According to the original plan, the ground fire was a flat area of 15 kilometers in front of the target, mainly considering that the warning area of Chu Tingchang's headquarters was too large and it was not easy to directly give night instructions. So these fires are scattered in the glades, because they are obscured by trees, so they are not easy to see by ground patrols, but they can be seen from the air. The flare is used to indicate when the bomber crew will parachute, and as long as they follow the direction of the fire, they will soon enter the attack zone.

The plan has a certain feasibility, but lighting the fire in advance is easy to expose the intention, so it was abandoned in the second stage of formulating the plan, but the news was not smoothly transmitted to the front-line personnel, which has the problem of communication, and the problem of the local language communication ability of the personnel of the southern agency, in short, the accumulation of various errors has played a role. To a certain extent, the plan for this sneak attack itself is very immature, all links are like walking a tightrope, there will always be some mistakes, if there is no problem here, there will be problems in other links. Of course, the problem lies in the last link, which is considered the worst-case scenario, because the ground assessment team was wiped out with this explosion, and Chu Tingchang actually has a counter-deception plan to deal with this situation.

Sakagaki is a cautious person, he has been waiting for the results of the front-line personnel to verify, the radio information may come from the fog of the enemy's old release, of course he knows this, he himself used radio disinformation to scare away Chu Tingchang. But intuitively, he didn't feel like it was fake, because the enemy's radio chaos came too quickly, and it was unlikely to be the result of careful planning, it could only be a real reaction, and in addition, Huang Tianyang was still on the offensive and was about to hit Saigon, which showed that he did not get the news and orders from the peak, which was the most concrete manifestation of the command failure.

When Chu Tingchang's headquarters was transferred, the patrol found two bodies of Japanese parachutists, and two other live ones, one of whom resisted until he finally swallowed a gun and committed suicide, but caught one alive. As the soldier approached the Japanese agent, he was holding a pistol to his temple, shivering and not daring to pull the trigger. In the end, the Japanese soldier gave up the battle between heaven and man, decided to surrender, and did not even destroy the radio station.

Qin Xiaosu personally led people to interrogate him hastily, he often listened to Japanese radio and knew some Japanese, but he found that the interrogation of this devil did not need to speak Japanese, English, it turned out to be a Japanese American who returned from the United States with his family in the ninth year of Showa. This background probably has something to do with his final choice to surrender.

Since the will has collapsed, once interrogated, there is no need to confess: there are four parachutes, a radio station, and the codebook is sewn into the captain's clothes. Hurriedly sent someone to tear open all the clothes of the dead bodies, and sure enough, they found the code book. This made Qin Xiaosu's heart, and he hurriedly sent a short message: The enemy headquarters has been destroyed.

At dawn, the Allied command announced that the Japanese had once again destroyed several Laotian villages with another brutal attack, killing thousands of civilians, but the Allied losses were slight. General Chu Tingchang was safe and sound.

The press release seems very strange, the front says that only the Lao village was destroyed, and the allies have almost no losses, and the back adds a sentence that Chu Ting'an is safe and sound, which seems to want to cover up. Synthesizing the information of the front team, Sakagaki couldn't help but strengthen his judgment. There is no doubt that it is impossible for Chu Tingchang to be safe and easy. This press release was just the first reaction of the Allies trying to stop the loss. Soon, he received information from the front that Huang Tianyang's troops suddenly stopped the offensive and began to retreat towards the delta.

Huang Tianyang's troops reacted and lagged behind the nuclear attack by a full 10 hours, which was a normal situation and proved that the enemy's command had become sluggish and ineffective. Now it's time for Shojiro Iida to come out. Of course, Sakagaki decided to modify the plan temporarily, as if the nuclear bomb against Tao Mingzhang could be saved.

The Japanese convoy in the Gulf of Thailand is being assembled. No. 419 bypassed the Indochina Peninsula and found that the situation was wrong, and the new enemy situation needs to be verified, is it just the judgment of Chu Tingchang, in the direction of Tao Mingzhang, at most one or two second-rate divisions?

Huang Tianyang was being interviewed by an Associated Press reporter when he received the order from Chu Tingchang's headquarters to retreat, and he was more enthusiastic than Chu Tingchang to go to the newspaper and talk about his views on the situation, especially the success of this surprise attack, which made him swell a lot. A statement was prepared.

Unexpectedly, the American reporter who accompanied the army was a stunned young man, and when he came up, he asked Huang Tianyang if the silver Colt pistol on his waist was a pearl handle, which greatly swept Huang Shichang's interest. A general with new tactics, who unexpectedly appeared behind the Japanese army and almost saved the Allied army, of course, would not carry a sissy weapon, and his watch was ten times more expensive than the one Roosevelt gave to Chu Tingchang, how could he bring a cheap pistol?

Huang Tianyang was about to break this serious mistake, but the telegram from Chief Chu arrived, and the visit could only be hastily ended. So when the reporter went to press, he described Huang Tianyang as a general who pays attention to appearance and details, likes to wear small jewelry, pearl-handled pistols, spray French perfume, talk elegantly, and behave appropriately. In short, the newly graduated journalist tried to portray Huang Tianyang as a different kind of stereotype from the stereotypical image of Chinese soldiers, but the imagination was over-imagined and the effect was counterproductive, and his writing made people feel vaguely twisted and feminine.

Along with Chu Tingchang's order to retreat, the news of another nuclear attack in the rear made Huang Tianyang feel a little worried. He thought that this order of the chief of Chu Tingchang was wrong, and that his troops should directly attack Saigon at this moment in order to contain the enemy's attack, but he was worried that the order was not actually issued by the chief of Chu Tingchang. Chu Tingchang once said to him that he was expecting the enemy's opportunities everywhere, and he had no last resort, for fear of being jealous of the sky, and sooner or later there would be a catastrophe, just like Zhuge Kongming. Saying this, of course, it was Pavilion Chief Chu who was preparing to leave in the future, but Huang Tianyang took it seriously, thinking that Pavilion Chief Chu was hinting that he needed a successor like Jiang Wei, and that person was himself.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chu Tingchang might encounter an accident, and his judgment was similar to that of Sakagaki, that is, the information in the rear was chaotic, and the news released by the allies seemed to be covered.

In this way, Huang Tianyang decided to disobey the order and attack Saigon as originally planned, and now there are only a few broken Japanese troops in front of him, all of whom are not satisfied, and he decided to use the offensive on his flank to relieve the frontal pressure, which is not a disobedience to military orders, but a heavy responsibility.

Chu Tingchang's side had already gained insight into the build-up of Japanese troops at sea, and was in a hurry to use Huang Tianyang's reserve force to quickly cross Cambodia and enter Thailand. The situation is getting more and more treacherous every hour.

At this time, Tao Mingzhang's troops closely monitored the sea surface between Malaysia and Thailand to prevent the Japanese army from landing. Tao Mingzhang is a meticulous person. Within two months, he built a large number of fortifications along the coast of Thailand, and formed a system to prevent the enemy from landing on his flank and seizing the port in cooperation with the fortresses built by the Thai and Japanese troops that already existed in the original ports.

He himself experienced the landing of the Japanese army in Yuepu, Shanghai in 1937, studied several landing operations of the Japanese army in Nanyang and Australia, and found the weakness of the Japanese army. The weakness lies in the fact that before the army goes ashore, it must rely on sampans to carry out secondary transfers in the offshore waters. Usually troop carriers will be a kilometer or two away in the sea, and the warships in cover will be farther away (in order to prevent grounding). When the boat is close to the shore, it has no firepower and protection, it is very fragile, and small arms can block it, and the whole process of transfer and disembarkation is extremely slow, and it is impossible to establish a landing point of a certain depth at the head of the stall without 48 hours, and these troops will not have heavy weapons until the port is captured.

Therefore, he did not have many troops on the front line, and he gathered mobile forces in the rear, ready to use the road to maneuver at any time, and preemptively form a force advantage in the part of the Japanese landing and drive them into the sea.

His tactics are not unreasonable, but this time, the Japanese will put a 2,000-ton Yanglu ship (landing ship) into the attack, which is a special ship that can not only go ashore directly in the shallows, but also have a certain amount of firepower and armor. These ships could not only carry infantry at night, but could also carry heavy weapons.

The first landing ships were held off the coast of Chonburi Province at dusk. On board was a wing of the 2nd Guards Division. Their mission was to make a surprise landing and cut off the coastal road where Huang Tianyang might rescue Tao Mingzhang, and Sakagaki's plan was quite large, so instead of launching a landing in Cambodia, which was weakly defended, they went ashore directly in Thailand.

The sight of Japanese warships off the coast of Thailand is not new to the Chinese troops, for them, if cargo ships gather on the sea, it is terrible, but Japanese warships are nothing, usually a few guns will leave. The soldiers did not judge from the silhouette of the ship that this was a landing ship, and they had never seen a landing ship.

Soldiers in the front-line trenches, observing the movement of enemy ships, neither approached nor farther away. After a while, suddenly a rotorcraft flew over the head to reconnoitre, and the situation became more serious, these planes could not have flown over the Gulf of Thailand, apparently there was a quasi-aircraft carrier in a place that could not be seen behind the horizon.
