In Japan, before the war, no one knew that there was an island called New Britain Island in the South Pacific, 5100 kilometers away from Tokyo, and it was not known that there was a port on New Britain called Rabaul.

It was once the scene of the barbaric natural force show.A prehistoric eruption formed a large volcanic lake with a gap, and the sea poured into the lake, turning it into a natural harbor.

The inhabitants of Rabaul were often plagued by volcanoes and earthquakes, but the Japanese did not care that since they had replaced the Australians as the owners of Rabaul, they had not only been comfortable, but had also turned Rabaul into a huge troop station and fortress.

Now, Rabaul has become a well-known place, and the war has completely changed its appearance.

When Fan Yize set foot on this land, Rabaul was already completely completely absent, the jungle was cut down out of a large open space, and gray tents were everywhere.

Full of weapons and ammunition, code placed inside and outside the tent, mountain guns, military supplies, everywhere.

High-up cannons and machine guns, all over the place, on distant peaks, you can also see the shadow of radar.

In the port, there are barracks, hospitals, warehouses, fuel reserve facilities, airports, and vehicles and soldiers.

Even at the airport, Fan saw a prostitute of at least a thousand people, all young women dressed up by North Koreans, endlessly serving Japanese soldiers here.

Rabaul's busy, there is no meaning of stopping at half, like a busy group of ants.

Wandering around the Japanese camp, Fan Yize swept through all the news on the road, as if entering a no-man's land, and soon arrived at Rabaul's former governor's mansion.

The former governor-general’s office of the Australian is now the headquarters of the Eighth Front.

This eighth front is the number of new Japanese troops established in the Pacific battlefield, based on the 16th Japanese army, the Pacific and Shenzhou battlefields on the basis of the formation.

The goal is naturally to retake Guadalcanal, and so far, the Japanese stronghold has not intended to give up the meaning of Guadalcanal.

As the commander of the Eighth Front Army, the Japanese army has the first Confucian general called the current village, the rank is the lieutenant general.

The first Confucian of the Japanese army is very deeply trusted by the Japanese headquarters and is also deeply supported by the officers and soldiers.

For most of the Japanese soldiers, with the command of the Confucian general, Guadalcanal no longer seemed out of reach.

At present, almost all the main forces of the Eighth Front have arrived in Rabaul, and have basically formed combat capabilities.

When Fan Yize sneaks into the governor's office to find the current village, the Confucian will be holding a meeting to ask about the specific situation on Guadalcanal.

The situation in Guadalcanal is very optimistic for the Japanese army, and Labur also has a lot of knowledge about Guadalcanal.

A major general who reported the situation also referred to the failure of the Sendai Division, focusing on the obstruction of the Nagoya Division.

The hunger facing Guadalcanal is very serious, and the Japanese soldiers on the island have been very poor, and the number of soldiers who starve to death, puffiness, various tropical diseases and deaths are more than twice the number of soldiers killed.

This kind of death is very necrotum, because the elite Imperial Japanese soldiers did not die at the muzzle of the enemy.

Behind the Nagoya Division, one of the last detachments to support, contained 4,000 elite soldiers from the Shenzhou and Pacific battlefields, all buried in the Gulf of Guadalcanal, and the bones were not found.

The lurking inside Fan Yize, listening quietly to the introduction of the Major, he did not know much about the situation in Guadalcanal, and the role of the bait seemed to be better than thought.

A large number of Japanese troops were buried, and they also took the opportunity to destroy the two Japanese battleship fleets, and the Japanese transport ships and destroyers and cruisers were very successful.

If it had not been for Guadalcanal’s attraction, it would not have been so easy to achieve such good results.

After all, Japan has controlled the western Pacific Ocean for a long time, built a large number of airfields, covered fleet operations, and investigated the situation at sea, which will be quite easy.

Under such circumstances, even if the main force of the White Tiger fleet is all deployed, it is difficult to cause any devastating blow to the remaining main force of the Japanese joint fleet.

However, this bait of Guadalcanal has gradually lost its role, and the Japanese are not stupid, not to mention that even if the Japanese army is willing again, the Japanese Navy can not afford it.

In the office, the village listened to the words of Major General, looked out the window, looked at the busy crowd outside, and said: "In the Battle of the Dutch East British India, Maruyama and Saano Division were under my command.Our army only used these two divisions and the later division and a brigade to lay down a vast territory equivalent to 70 million people in Europe, and our army only died less than a thousand people.And in order to capture an airfield, the two most elite divisions, plus the entire 17th Army, could not do it, not even I could see it with my own eyes, not even I believed it myself."

The village spoke in full, and continued to ask, “Who can introduce me to this war in Solomon Islands?”

The young man who had just spoken, ignored the eyes of the other generals and staff officers around him, stood up and said, “The war in Solomon Islands is not the same as any previous war of our army.It is a three-dimensional war that is closely linked to the three aspects of land, sea and air.In order to compete for air power, it is necessary to capture the Guadalcanal airfield by infantry; in order to ensure the success of the infantry, it is necessary to use the fleet to shell the airfield and cover the transport ships, while the enemy's aircraft and warships threaten to prevent our artillery shelling and maritime reinforcements, the purpose is to assist the enemy's marines in holding the airfield.”

In this war, our army did not have enough food, too little artillery, too far behind, and very dangerous transportation; the enemy was the opposite.Coupled with the factors of the Guadalcanal rainforest that our army did not expect, the result of failure was inevitable only by the white-bladed tactics and death spirit of dealing with the weak enemy in the past, and the lack of enemy and firepower was inevitable.Sun Tzu's taro cloud: "Ten are surrounded by them, five are attacked, the double is divided, the enemy can fight, and at least they can escape, if they can not avoid it, so the enemy's strength is also the big enemy."Because of the victory of our army at the beginning of the war, our army has despised the military method from top to bottom.That is why our army will fail on the island of Guadalcanal.”

Hearing this major, many people in the conference room were angry.
