In mid-September 1930 of the Republic of China, after several twists and turns, the Second Battle of Changsha finally began.

Although as early as the beginning of this year, Anan Weiji, the newly appointed commander of the ll army, had already begun to prepare for the second battle in Changsha, this plan has never been implemented because the world pattern has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In June this year, Adolf Hitler brazenly tore up the "Soviet-German Treaty of Non-Aggression". The Soviet-German War broke out in full swing. Nazi Germany mobilized 190 infantry divisions, 37UU tanks, 49UU aircraft, 47UUUl丨cannons and 19 warships, a total of 5.5 million troops, and the troops were divided into three groups to launch a blitzkrieg at the Soviet Union.

Because Nazi Germany implemented successful tactical deception, until the last moment before the war started, it was still providing supplies to the Soviet Union in accordance with the political and economic agreement between the two sides, which seriously affected the Soviet Union's combat readiness. Most of the Soviet troops had large gaps in personnel, materials and equipment.

The result of all this was disastrous. On the first day of the war, the UU aircraft deployed by the Soviet army on the front was completely destroyed. Among them, RU0 aircraft were blown up at the airport before they even took off. Then, in less than a week, the German army pushed the front line forward for 600 kilometers.

The German army advanced wildly, and the troops were aimed directly at Leningrad, Stalingrad and Kiev. Adolf Hitler was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, clamoring to destroy the Soviet Union within three months.

In view of the rapid progress of the German army, Emperor Hirohito of Japan quickly convened an imperial meeting as soon as possible. The meeting decided to strengthen combat readiness for the Soviet Union. Once the time is ripe, it will cooperate with the German army to attack the Soviet Union from the east and west to completely resolve the war threat from the north.

Strengthening combat readiness against the Soviet Union must strengthen the Kwantung Army's military strength

The Japanese base camp then decided to draw eight divisions from the Chinese condemnation army to strengthen the Kwantung Army's troops. Among them, the ll army of Anan Weiji alone would draw two divisions. At this time, the main divisions of Japan had already invested more than forty, with a force of more than one million. However, the withdrawal of eight divisions at once would undoubtedly weaken the offensive force on the front battlefield, thus giving the National Government a chance to breathe. The China Incident will continue to be delayed, and there is no longer a resolution.

The decision of the Japanese base camp was fiercely opposed by the Chinese condemnation army commander Tian Junji and the commander of the ll army Anan Weiji. The two of them shouted that they would concentrate their efforts to eliminate the National Government. Resolving the China Incident is the key to winning the jihad. If they do not first resolve the Chinese incident and go to war with the Soviet Union or the United States, Japan will inevitably be deeply trapped in the quagmire of war.

The Japanese base camp adopted the opinions of the two and canceled the plan to mobilize troops from the Chinese condemnation country to strengthen the Kwantung Army. Anan Weiji's second battle plan for the Changsha battle, which had been brewing for more than half a year, was successfully implemented.

The Second Battle of Changsha was postponed for half a year due to changes in the international situation, but because of the postponement of the six months, Japan was more prepared, and the national army was inevitably a little paralyzed, believing that Japan would soon go to full war with the Soviet Union, and the pressure on China's battlefield would be greatly reduced. Xue Yue was even planning a counterattack against Wuhan.

It was against this backdrop that the Second Battle of Changsha started, and the Kuomintang army fell into a passive line due to insufficient preparation. After two months of fierce fighting, the 41st, 10th, 37th and 74th armies of the Kuomintang army were defeated, with more than 50,000 people killed and more injured. The Japanese army fully realized the tactical intention of severely damaging the Kuomintang army in the Nine War Zone.

When the news reached Chongqing, Chairman Jiang was shocked and even began to secretly consider moving the capital to Xining.

If the Japanese base camp completely followed the opinions of Tian Junji and Anan Weiji, and first completely solved China, and devoted all the manpower and material resources accumulated for two years to the Chinese battlefield, it is probably that Chairman Chiang could only move the capital to Xining, and the Wang Puppet might have really become China's legal government.

However, there is no history. Shortly after the little Japanese won the second battle in Changsha, the little Japanese took the initiative to provoke a war with the United States in a very stupid way.

In the early morning of July 19, 30 of the Republic of China, the Japanese Navy dispatched more than 200 bombers to attack Pearl Harbor. The US Navy's Pacific Fleet was eventually severely damaged because it was unprepared. Except for two aircraft carriers that happened to escape, the entire Pacific Fleet was almost destroyed.

Pearl Harbor was attacked and the Pacific Fleet was almost destroyed, which greatly stimulated the Americans.

Before this, even though the Japanese followed Hitler's will to drive the British out of the Far East, the Americans only imposed economic sanctions and embargoed strategic materials such as oil, rubber, and steel, and never thought of using force against Japan.

From the bottom of my heart, Uncle Sam was not willing to get involved in such a large-scale war. The Americans just wanted to make a fortune in the silent voice like they did during World War I. Only when the two sides of the war were exhausted and were about to decide the winner would they join the victorious side to share the dividends of victory.

However, the Pearl Harbor incident directly angered the United States.

As early as after the end of World War I, the United States' comprehensive national strength had achieved a historic transcendence of Britain. However, in terms of military, or in terms of national confidence, the United States has always given people the illusion of a second-rate country, and even Americans themselves do not think they are the boss.

When building the navy, Japan has always used the Royal Navy as its imaginary enemy, but has never taken the US Navy seriously. As for the US Army, there are only three poor divisions.

However, what the Japanese did not see is that the United States has a huge population base and a strong industrial manufacturing foundation. Once the Americans are completely angered, the American war machine will be activated with all their strength. Not to mention a mere Japan, even the whole world will be trembling for it.

(Assert gossip: Nowadays, there are waste youth who don’t know anything, or the ulterior motives of cents to take the Celestial Empire with ulterior motives. Compared with the late Qing Dynasty, it is believed that the war between China and Japan will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the Sino-Japanese War. This is simply fart. In the late Qing Dynasty, China could have the current industrial manufacturing foundation? In the late Qing Dynasty, all the warships of the Beiyang Fleet were purchased from abroad, and one less would be sunk; now, the warships of the Celestial Empire were built independently. Once the full force of the violent soldiers, the speed of the warships being sunk may not be as fast as the speed of construction. What's more, modern warfare is not just a naval battle, but the Celestial Empire will foolishly fight against the Japanese? If the war really starts, is more than a thousand short-range guides just decorations? With the population base and industrial foundation of the Celestial Empire at present, once the war machine is fully activated, its deterrent power will never be much worse than the United States during World War II. So, please be proud of your motherland.)

In fact, the Japanese soon discovered that they had provoked an enemy who could not afford to offend.

Once the American war machine is fully activated, the energy emitted by the collapse is extremely amazing. Not to mention, the number of aircraft carriers built by just the Pearl Harbor incident to the surrender of Japan, Japan has only built eight aircraft carriers in total, but the Americans built nearly 200 aircraft carriers. The war potential of both sides is not at the same level at all.

Back to the topic, the Pearl Harbor incident completely angered the American people. At the first time, the US government announced its participation in the World Anti-Fascist Alliance and declared war on Germany, Italy and Japan at the same time. After the news reached Chongqing, Chairman Chiang and the senior bureaucrats of the National Government suddenly became famous. Chairman Chiang then sent a telegram to the whole world to declare war on Japan.

This is probably a wonder in world history. From the July 7 Lugou Bridge incident to the present, the full-scale war between China and Japan has lasted for four years. If we count from the September 18th Incident, the Sino-Japanese War lasted for even more than twelve years. However, the National Government has not declared war on Japan.

Moreover, if it weren't for the US government's declaration of war on Japan, Chairman Chiang wouldn't know when it would declare war on Japan.
