    On the night of August 14, 1943, Xu Weihe led his special forces to lurk around Port Moresby.

    Tonight is the first night of action in Xu Weihe's plan. They will attack at around two o'clock in the morning when the Citi Army has fallen into a deep sleep. They will send a small force to sneak into the Citi Army camp. If  It would be best to be able to deal with Bradley without alerting the Citi Army.

    11 p.m.

    "Golden Leopard, why do I feel something is wrong! It's already eleven o'clock, and Citigroup actually has no intention of sleeping. Look, there are so many Citigroups busy there, and it looks like they are moving something. Could it be that they are moving something?  Citi Army doesn¡¯t plan to sleep tonight?¡±

    A special soldier next to Xu Weihe put down his binoculars and said with a confused look, he is not an ordinary special soldier, he is a captain.

    Xu Weihe was not in a hurry to speak. He still held the binoculars and looked at the Citi Army camp, which was now brightly lit.  After a while, he put down the telescope and frowned.

    "Why do I feel like the Citi Army is about to retreat. But it shouldn't be! Why are they retreating? Is this guy Bradley going to abandon Papua Guinea?"

    Xu Weihe bit his lower lip. Citi Army¡¯s movements really made him unable to see clearly.

    "Golden Leopard, there is news from our scouts in other directions that many Citigroup troops have returned to Port Moresby. According to our statistics, the Citigroup troops in Port Moresby are estimated to have three regiments now!"

    At this moment, a special soldier quietly crawled to Xu Weihe and whispered.

    "What did you say? Almost a regiment of Citigroup troops returned to Port Moresby?"

    Xu Weihe frowned deeply, then pursed his lips and said, "Damn it! As soon as I showed some murderous intent, the Citi Army came back to support me. Did they discover me?"

    Xu Weihe said so, but he knew that it was impossible for the Citi Army to discover them.  If they were discovered, they wouldn't be able to stay here so safely now.

    "Pass my order, the entire army is on standby. The original plan has been temporarily abandoned, and all brigades are ordered to wait for notification!"

    Since there have been changes on the Citi Army side, Xu Weihe will naturally not let the troops act according to the original plan at this time. After all, he does not know what the situation is on the Citi Army side.

    After Xu Weihe¡¯s order was conveyed, there were no changes in the various brigades and they were all waiting.

    Xu Weihe continued to observe the movements of the Citi Army, and the scouts sent out continued to send back news about the Citi Army.

    As time goes by, more and more Citigroup troops return to Port Moresby.

    Infantry, artillery, and even automobile troops are all returning to Port Moresby for reinforcements.

    In just one night, the strength of Port Moresby increased from two regiments to five regiments.

    Three regiments have returned to Port Moresby from the outside, and this return support is continuing to increase.

    This made Xu Weihe even more confused about what happened to Citigroup, but a telegram from Ma Chenglong made him understand why.

    "Golden Leopard, there is a telegram from Leopard Head!"

    A special soldier handed a telegram to Xu Weihe.

    Xu Weihe took it and looked at it for a few seconds and immediately understood what Citigroup was going to do.

    "I didn't expect! The Citi Army was actually about to retreat. No wonder, in just one night, three regiments of the Citi Army returned to Port Moresby."

    Xu Weihe put down the telegram in his hand and said with some surprise. He never expected that the Citi Army would retreat at this time.

    "The Citi Army is retreating? Why is the Citi Army retreating at this time? Are they giving in?"

    The special forces soldier next to him asked doubtfully.

    "I don't know! But Leopard Head gave us an order to let the Citi Army go and don't lose our troops here in vain! Go down and give orders to all the brigade not to act rashly. Now there are Citi Army troops coming to us everywhere.

    If we are exposed, we will be surrounded by tens of thousands or even more Citigroup troops!  "

    "yes!"

    Mogoi, Chu Yunfei Command

    "Sir, the Citi Army has retreated. Why do you think they did this? Is it because there is no hope of victory?"

    Fang Ligong adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Chu Yunfei and said.

    "Can't see??The hope of victory?  This is not to say that Citigroup is not so vulnerable.  "

    Chu Yunfei walked to the sand table with his hands behind his back, and after looking at it for a while, he turned to look at Fang Ligong and said, "The Citi Army is going to trade space for time.

    The Air Battle of Papua and the Battle of the Coral Sea, Citigroup suffered heavy losses in these two battles!  In the air battle in Papua, Citigroup lost more than 2,300 Mustang fighters, more than 1,500 pilots were killed, and more than 400 pilots were captured.

    In the Battle of the Coral Sea, four aircraft carriers were sunk and other ships were lost. It can be said that the combined losses of the two battles were enough for Citigroup to understand that they could not win the battle around Papua Guinea in a short period of time.  possible.

    Citi Army is not stupid either!  Once they withdraw from Papua Guinea, the next step is for us to attack the Bismarck Islands.  When the Citi Army dispatches fighter planes to contain our army's aviation, our army will have no power to cover it during the landing battle.

    By then it will be another storming battle, which is not good news for our army.  "

    When Chu Yunfei said this, his eyes left the sand table, and he slowly walked to the huge map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back. He looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "The Pacific Battlefield is a large-scale battle.

    It involves the coordinated operations of the land, sea and air forces, and if we want to win over islands one by one in this area, it can only be possible by launching continuous landing battles.

    Citigroup took advantage of this to formulate its next strategy.  Trading space for time, if they soon develop a new fighter jet that can compete with our Falcon fighter jets.

    The advantage we just gained will be equalized in an instant, and there is still time to fight!  "

    As the commander of Papua Guinea, Chu Yunfei always considers the overall situation when looking at problems.  This also corresponds to the saying: If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern!

    Since he sat in this position, the issue he needed to consider was the strategic issue of the entire army.

    While Chu Yunfei was thinking about this problem, suddenly a staff officer ran over.

    "Report! A telegram from the Supreme Command requires you to return to Nanjing immediately to attend the awarding ceremony!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
