Chapter 870 Blue Whale Project
Three days later, with the concerted efforts of all parties, the Independent Column Navy joined forces with the Seventh Fleet of Country M and headed for the European battlefield together, ready to provide some "support" to the Russians.
The old Russian and the little mustache were both confused. Why were they suddenly targeted? What was going on?
Taking advantage of the chaos on the European battlefield, the Japanese finally launched the "Blue Whale Project".
The so-called Blue Whale Plan was to transport more than 80,000 Japanese soldiers from the Pearl River Delta to Thailand, completely turning Southeast Asia into their strategic stronghold.
Okamura Neiji ordered Kazutaka Chiji to be fully responsible for the matter, and of course this important task also fell on Sekiya Shenqi's head.
On December 1944, 12, the Blue Whale Project was officially launched.
The Japanese soldiers raised the slogan of concentrated defense and prepared to spend a month to concentrate 100,000 Japanese soldiers in Guangzhou. Under the cover of four destroyers, they used more than 20 troop transport ships to transport more than 80,000 Japanese soldiers to Thailand.
"Guangu-kun, the task ahead is very arduous, please! If this plan succeeds, the empire will gain a great strategic initiative, and you and I will both be rewarded and promoted. Come on!"
"Hayi!"
Guan Gu Shenqi was very happy, of course not because of the pie he had painted with Ying Zhier, but because in a month, the Japanese would set sail from Guangzhou Port one after another and leave China.
Of course, a division will be left in Guangzhou and Hainan Island, and a regiment will be left in Hong Kong, but these small things are not a problem at all.
The Pearl River Delta was completely mobilized. The Japanese left in a hurry this time and looted the local people. Fortunately, the underground organization of the independent column made arrangements in advance and transferred all important materials and key personnel, thus avoiding more serious losses.
Wang Meng also immediately contacted the Japanese Chief of Staff, General Shanshan Yuan, to express strong protest against their robbery and threatened him that if he did not restrain his subordinates' behavior, he would completely tear up the secret agreement and launch a fierce attack on the Japanese in the Pearl River Delta.
Shan Shanyuan broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that Wang Meng would really become furious and launch an attack on the poor 100,000 Japanese devils, and then the so-called Blue Whale Plan would be aborted.
Therefore, Shanshan Yuan warned all troops stationed in China not to have conflicts with the Chinese, otherwise they would be subject to military law.
As a result, an extremely interesting scene appeared in the Pearl River Delta and eastern Guangdong. The usually ferocious Japanese devils seemed to become polite, started paying for meals, and no longer bullied men and women.
On January 1945, 1, 31 troop transport ships cobbled together by the Japanese arrived at the Port of Guangzhou, and more than Japanese began to board the ships secretly.
It took ten full days for more than 80,000 Japanese soldiers to board the ships. However, because the four destroyers had not yet arrived, the 22 troop transport ships remained 20 nautical miles outside Guangzhou Port and dared not move.
Finally, in the early morning of February 1945, 2 (New Year's Eve), four destroyers (Hiki, Utsuyo, Kamikaze, and Harukaze) and six gunboats arrived at Guangzhou Port under the cover of darkness. After a simple replenishment, they met up with the troop transport ship at two in the morning and prepared to sail to Bangkok, Thailand.
According to the plan, their troop transport ships will pass through the Qiongzhou Strait, along the coast of Vietnam and Cambodia, arrive in Bangkok after fifteen days, and land directly.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve, Pingshun was very lively. The Pingshun Military Fortress Command was extremely bustling, and all the staff officers were working overtime.
"Mengzi, have the devils moved?"
"Well, our troops have already advanced towards Guangzhou. The Japanese have not raised any objections so far. Perhaps they have already accepted that all land except Guangzhou has been returned."
"Very good, then what about the Japs at sea? Should we act according to the plan?"
Wang Meng nodded, walked to the front of the map, and gestured with his hands to indicate the distance between the coast and Kunming and the M Army base in India.
"Although the U.S. Navy has escaped, their air force is no pushover. Although the Japanese remain silent, I think they will definitely be discovered and will inevitably get a beating.
"We will wait until the little devils are exhausted, then we will take action! You have done so many bad things in China, and you want to just leave? You are dreaming!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he opened a peanut candy, put it in his mouth, and started chewing it.
"Where is Lao Zhao?"
Li Yunlong's eyes were still fixed on the map, but he said:
"Old Zhao went to Shanghai. He said that this was the first Spring Festival since the liberation of a large area of East China, and he wanted to go there to take charge and prevent any trouble."
"Old Zhao is still aware. Old Li, this is your first Spring Festival for your family of four. I'll take the shift today. You should go home quickly!"
"Hehe, it seems like I am taking advantage of Dongping and Yun'an?"
"Of course, you should go back quickly and take over tomorrow morning. I will go to Fujian."
Li Yunlong naturally knew why Wang Meng went to Fujian. It must be for the Taiwan Island issue. Now Taiwan Island is still in the hands of the Japanese, and it has been rooted for many years, so we must think of a foolproof plan to solve the problem.
On New Year's Eve, Pingshun Radio Station broadcast Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Wang Meng's New Year's greetings to the whole country at 8 o'clock, and then firecrackers and fireworks were set off everywhere in China.
This was a year of great change in the war situation in China, and also a year when the Chinese nation set sail again. All Chinese people had dreams and looked forward to the future.
Wang Meng stood on the watchtower of the military fortress, looking at the fireworks all over the city, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"People's lives have really gotten better. The fireworks are set off just like a war. It's great!"
Amid the crackling sounds, Wang Meng woke up from the duty room with sleepy eyes, and happened to see Li Yunlong and Xiuqin holding Dongping and Yun'an to pay New Year's greetings everywhere.
Wang Meng leaned against the door, watching the happy family of four.
This kind of scene may be very common in later generations, but it is not easy in this era.
This is what they are fighting for!
"Mengzi, what are you doing here? Come over here and wish your sister-in-law a happy new year!"
Li Yunlong's shout pulled him out of his thoughts and he walked to Xiuqin in three or two steps.
"Lao Li, sister-in-law, happy New Year?"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he stuffed the red envelopes he had prepared into two pieces, one for each of Dongping and Yun'an.
"Oh, don't be so polite. I heard from my sister-in-law that you haven't married yet. Save up your money and I'll introduce you to one tomorrow!"
Li Yunlong took the two red envelopes.
"Yes, of course! This is what he should give as an uncle!"
Wang Meng rolled his eyes at Li Yunlong.
"Okay, Lao Li, you're not lenient with me. I'm going to the airport now. Don't contact me if you have anything else!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he got on the jeep and drove away.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Fuzhou Airport. As soon as Wang Meng landed, he saw Xu Gun who had been waiting for a long time.
