"So, the traveler is optimistic about the beautiful country?" Fang Ligong said.

"Yes, I am very optimistic about the beautiful country." Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "I will not make a judgment on the Japanese army's battle with the Yin army in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Java and Myanmar, but the battle with the beautiful country in the Philippines will definitely end in a crushing defeat. The beautiful country's army will teach the Japanese army a cruel lesson."

"Because the Japanese army's equipment is not on the same level as the beautiful army."

"This can be seen from the M1A1 75mm mountain cannon equipped by our unique brigade."

"The Japanese army's similar weapons and equipment have technical parameters that have been crushed by the beautiful country's weapons and equipment."

"In a word, the Japanese army's experience advantage over the beautiful army is not crushing, but the beautiful army's technical advantage over the Japanese army is crushing, so the beautiful army will win without any suspense."

To put it in modern terms, Chu Yunfei is a perfect and beautiful fan...

If he returns to modern times, he must have used an Apple phone and an Apple computer, and he is also using Tesla's edamame.

"This is really." Fang Ligong nodded slightly and said, "But I think the Yin Army will form a stalemate with the Japanese army in colonies such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar, because the Japanese front line is too long and the troops are too scattered, while the Yin Army is waiting for work and has an absolute advantage in the military."

"So, no matter how bad the final result is, it will be a stalemate."

"Actually, I prefer that the Japanese army will suffer a big defeat."

"Because the Japanese army had too great ambitions, people were not satisfied with their hearts, and they were all called him."

Speaking of this, Fang Ligong waved his fist hard, as if the Japanese army had been defeated.

Chu Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "In short, for China, it is impossible to be worse than now, and it is highly likely that it can turn to counterattack from next year!"

Fang Ligong said: "So what should our sole brigade do?"

"What are you doing?" Chu Yunfei smiled and said in a deep voice, "Take care of this winter and continue to strengthen training. If we are not wrong, we will usher in the first wave of counterattack after spring!"

At this moment, Chu Yunfei was full of confidence in the counterattack next year.

Fang Ligong also believed in this.

...

The Eighth Route Army is not so optimistic.

The Chief of Staff handed a telegram to the brigade commander and said seriously: "Brig Commander, this is Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Wang Ye's analysis of the situation in northwest Shanxi next year."

"Oh?" The brigade commander reached out to take the telegram and read it carefully.

The Chief of Staff said: "Brig Commander, I think Ding Wei and his team's analysis makes sense."

"Although the Japanese army's front line was very long, they had the convenience of sea transportation and had no security in logistics."

"On the other hand, the logistics supply of the Yin Army and the Beautiful Army is actually even more difficult. As for combat experience, combat will and other things are even more incomparable."

"So there is almost no suspense in this battle."

"Once the Japanese army can quickly occupy the entire Southeast Asia, the Yin army and the Piaoliang army will not have time to transfer materials, so these materials will inevitably fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

"With the large amount of war assets seized, the Japanese government's finances will be greatly improved."

"It can be greatly alleviated in at least a short time, which makes the Japanese government able to produce more weapons and equipment and organize more troops to invest in the Chinese battlefield."

"However, on the Chinese battlefield, the national army will become even weaker."

"As the national army becomes weaker, the Japanese army can draw more troops to deal with us."

At the end, the Chief of Staff had become worried and said, "Brig Commander, we are probably in big trouble."

The brigade commander finished reading it quickly and sighed: "This is not just an analysis of the situation in northwest Shanxi, but it is applicable to the entire Shanxi and even the entire North China."

He paused and said, "Not only their three regiments, but also our entire 386th Brigade, the entire 129th Division, and even the entire 18th Army must be prepared to live a hard life."

The Chief of Staff said: "Brig Commander, will you issue the divisions and main groups?"

"Distribute it." said the brigade commander, "starting to stock up on the reserve of supplies from now on."

The Chief of Staff immediately drafted an order. After the brigade commander approved and signed, he found several staff members to copy them into several copies and sent them to the sub-districts and main groups of the Taiyue Military Region.

...

The Kuomintang army has no such sense of urgency at all.

There was even an illusion of victory in the sight of the accompanying capital Chongqing.

The New Year's Eve of 1941 quietly passed by the drunkenness of senior party-state generals and dignitaries, and time soon entered the first lunar month of the 31st year of the Republic of China.

In 1942, the disaster in Henan had entered its third year.

First there was floods, then droughts, and then locust plagues. The whole of Henan was already thousands of miles away.

However, the National Government had no intention of reducing the public grain of HEN province. Tang Enbo, who had an army of 100,000, increased his investment layer by layer and ordered the army to cruelly collect military grain from the victims.

The people of Henan began to flee, mainly to Guanzhong.

Many people also fled to Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi.

Sadly, few people pay attention to them except the victims themselves.

Because another major event that happened at the same time attracted the attention of the whole world, this major event was the Japanese army's offensive like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves in Southeast Asia.

The Japanese army's offensive can only be described by the idiom "Autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves".

From the offensive launched on December 8, 1941 to March 1942, it swept across almost the entire Southeast Asia in less than four months, and the Piaoyin coalition was defeated.

In less than a month, the Hong Kong Yin army surrendered, and the beautiful army in Guam surrendered.

In less than two months, the Malay Peninsula fell and 40,000 Yin troops announced their surrender.

In less than three months, Singapore fell, and more than 80,000 Yin troops surrendered.

Luzon, Rabaul, Wake Island, and the Dutch East Indies fell one after another.

Looking around, except for the beautiful army on the Bataan Peninsula, there is no longer a built-in Allied force in Southeast Asia.

This result is simply shocking!

I don’t know how many people’s glasses are broken!

...

Chang Kaishen was shocked by this cruel fact and his head was buzzing.

However, the fall of the entire Southeast Asia is not what shocked Chang Kaishen the most. What shocked Chang Kaishen the most was that the Japanese army's military front had already pointed directly into northern Myanmar!

The last lifeline of China connecting the outside world is already at stake.

Once this lifeline is cut off, foreign aid will be cut off completely.

For Chang Kaishen, who has always relied on foreign aid, this is no less than drowning and being stolen from his hands. At this moment, Chang Kaishen was already panicked.

There were also a large group of senior generals and staff members who were also panicked.

At this moment, a large group of senior generals and staff from the Party and the country gathered in the large conference room of Yunxiu Building again to discuss what to do next?

"Is Yangon lost?"

"It's lost, it's just now."

"Have our supplies from Yangon Port been shipped out?"

"Only part of it was shipped out, most of it didn't have time to ship it out."

"So have the uncarried materials been ordered to be destroyed? It cannot be cheaper for the Japanese."

"Yes, the combat supplies stranded in Yangon Port include more than 100 M1A1 75mm caliber mountain cannons and more than 1,000 Browning heavy machine guns, and more than 200 million bullets!"

"The destruction order should have been issued, but it is hard to say whether it can be executed."

"What's hard to say about this? After orders are issued, can anyone dare not do it?"

"The situation was in chaos at that time, and no one could say it well, but I couldn't explain it clearly anyway."

"Forget it, let's not talk about the combat supplies in Yangon Port, the key is the supplies in Lashio!"

"Yes, there are more combat supplies stranded at Lashio Railway Station than Yangon Port. This batch of combat supplies cannot have any problems anymore, otherwise the party and the country will suffer too much."

"Damn it, after all, the Yin people are so fucked."

"Yes, it's a fucking super power. In just a few months, nearly 300,000 troops in Japan were defeated by less than 100,000 troops, and they all fucked to Myanmar."

"This is a disaster for us. Where can I find a car in a hurry?"

"Forget it, what's the use of saying this now? Hurry up and organize a fleet to transport it."

"At present, we can only solve the problem of rushing and shipping."

Listening to a group of senior generals and staff whispering there, Chang Kaishen's face was already dark.

Three months ago, if someone told him that the Southeast Asian War would be like this, he would not believe it anyway. The Dayin Empire would be quickly defeated by the Japanese army? How could this be possible?

However, now, the cruel facts are already in front of you.

This face was beaten so hard that it was really squirting and was swollen.

Not only was the Yin army quickly defeated by the Japanese army, but China also suffered from the disaster.

Due to the lack of sufficient preparation for the speed of the Japanese army's advance, the Beautiful Kingdom assisted a large amount of combat supplies to China under the Lease Act, including a full set of weapons and equipment that was enough to arm more than a dozen American armed divisions, were stranded in ports or stations in Yangon, Lashio and other places, and there was no time to transport them away.

In fact, someone reminded Chang Kaishen three months ago.
