Chapter 711 Spots over the Red Square

The sky in Nanyang in November has been blocked by the fierce flames of the Japanese.

The Americans barely protected themselves only in the Bataan area, and the land of Dutch Indonesia began to have footprints of Japanese military boots. Even the New British Isle and Rabaul Port defended by the Australian army fell within the range of artillery fire from the Japanese army southward.

But the dark clouds in people's hearts still float from Singapore.

On October 30, after more than four days of street fighting in Singapore, the British army raised a white flag and surrendered. Two days later, with the fall of the November sun, Lieutenant General Pasival of the British army signed his name on the agreement for unconditional surrender, and the proud mountain Fengwen thrust sat there to accept the surrender. The Japanese forced to arrive at the Singaporean people lined up on both sides of the road, silently watching the unique victory parade held by the Japanese army and listening to them singing triumphant songs.

More than 100,000 prisoners also listened to the unique Japanese accents of singing, including 50,000 British and Australian whites. In this raid on Singapore, the number of Japanese soldiers killed less than 2,000 people, but 740 artillery pieces, more than 2,500 machine guns, 65,000 rifles and other light weapons were seized, as well as 200 armored vehicles and thousands of car trucks.

Most importantly, except for the fact that the ports and airports of Singapore and the many facilities in Singapore were partially damaged by Japanese artillery fire, the rest were intact, and the British had no intention of destroying them at all.

"Why don't you destroy these facilities?" Yamashita Tomoto asked curiously.

Lieutenant General Pasival fought in silence, but a major officer next to him raised his chin and replied proudly: "Because we are going to come back."

"Come back? Don't you believe that Britain will fail in this war?" Amid the laughter of the Japanese officer next to him, Yamashita Tomoto also turned his head to ask him with a smile.

"Maybe we will be defeated ninety-nine times, but in the last time, our British Empire will still stand firm and win the final victory!" The young major's raised face was full of the pride of the Anglo-Sason nation.

Yamashita Fengmo was silent for a moment, then stopped the scolding of the Japanese officer next to him, and just shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently: "Maybe! But it's definitely not now!"

The British army has retreated step by step.

The fall of Singapore means that the Japanese army has taken control of the Malacca Strait, a key area. Large areas of resistance have lost the possibility of timely support.

Even on the other side of the Strait of Malacca, the Japanese army still forced the British to retreat step by step.

In Myanmar region, the Japanese army has also occupied Maudanmé, the important town in eastern Myanmar, and its southern area. They have divided into two groups, with the 33rd Division approaching Yangon.

Alexander, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the British and Burmese Army, once again urged Chongqing to take action.

On November 7, while the 33rd Division of the Japanese army defeated the defense lines of the Salwen River and Milin River that the British and Indian troops defended, the vanguard of the 200th Division, which had been guarding in Yunnan, entered Myanmar first.

But this news was not noticed by the world at all. At this time, the world's attention was already focused on Moscow Red Square.

The military parade to celebrate the October Revolution in the Soviet Union was underway as usual.

As November entered, the temperature dropped sharply, falling below zero.

Even though the Germans urgently bought a large amount of winter clothes from China, the number of winter clothes on the front line was still somewhat insufficient.

China needs to survive the colder winter in Siberia, and Mengxiang’s large reserves of winter supplies were given priority to the Siberian military and civilians.

Of course, in the face of the high-priced acquisitions of the Germans, Meng Xiangcai, who had already prepared, slowly deployed greater reserves. The production of factory machines in China and the numerous hand-sewn winter clothes from home were quickly transported to Germany. However, the logistics line from Germany to the Soviet Union slowed down.

The frontline urgently needs more than winter clothes, ammunition, food and daily necessities. They are all massive consumption. The long supply line has become a weakness for the Germans, so after November, half of the winter clothes are not sent to the frontline.

This is much better than the German army that was not prepared at all in time and space, and there are also a large number of winter clothes being transported from the rear. But there are still many German soldiers who are not adapted to the Moscow climate and began to be frostbitten.

Under the instigation of some spies, the phantom of the failure of Napoleon's army often lingers in the ears of the soldiers.

Seeing Moscow approaching, it had already touched the edge of the city, and even the vanguards rushing into the city of Moscow saw the spire of the Kremlin, but there was no exciting progress throughout October. Some German soldiers also began to look confused on their tired faces.

After the passion of war slowly passed, all that was left was a long and endless struggle.

Faced with the threat of survival, under the many compromises led by Stalin, the internal conflicts between the Soviets began to hide, and the spearhead began to be directed at the Germans.

Stalin refused to let go of November 7th, a special day, and decisively instructed to prepare for this celebration that is very important for uniting people's hearts.

At this time, Moscow was surrounded by more than 80 German divisions from north, south and west. In addition to the plains near Moscow, the troops of both sides were colliding with teeth and steel, the German reconnaissance troops had already launched fierce street fighting with the Soviets on the edge of the city.

When the news of the Soviet Union's military parade was announced, the Germans who were stimulated were even more powerful. With the support of aviation and heavy artillery, the German team became the sharpest spear in the world at this time, but the most ferocious attack encountered the most tenacious defense. Regardless of the cost and sacrifice, the Soviets used a large number of living corpses and blood solidified at low temperature to form an unbreakable defensive line.

Finally, the Soviet military parade on November 7 began on time.

After the solemn 24th anniversary celebration was held at the Mayakovsky Station of the underground railway, Stalin walked out of the underground bunker and stood in the sight of many waiting parade soldiers.

Almost all nearby Soviet aircraft have taken off, blocking and entangling the air strikes of German fighter jets. The location of Red Square is currently not within the range of ordinary artillery attacks. The German heavy artillery positions that can be detected have been taken seriously by Soviet artillery soldiers, trying to eliminate the possible threat of super artillery.

Although this threat is still a little gloomy in Stalin's heart, he must take the risk of standing up and convey the Slavs' unyielding spirit to the whole Soviet Russia and the world through this military parade, so as to make the heart of the entire Soviet Russia burn and burst out all its potential.

"The Red Army and Red Navy soldiers, commanders and political workers, male and female workers, collective farm men and women workers, mental workers, brothers and sisters who are temporarily trapped under the oppression of robbers in the rear of the enemy! Our glorious guerrilla men and women who destroy the rear of the German bandits! I represent..." In people's expectant eyes, Stalin started his famous speech with just one representative,

"...Eliminate the German bandits! Long live our glorious motherland! Long live the freedom and the best of our motherland! Advance towards victory under the banner of Lenin!"

With proper arrangements in advance, Stalin finally completed his speech without any abridgedness, and a deafening Ula voice suddenly broke out over the Red Square.

There was no danger. In the agitation of the people, Stalin felt relieved for a moment and did not notice any strange noises from the sky in the distance.

"Unknown fighter planes were discovered! The 6th Squadron intercepted quickly!" At this time, a signal of enemy planes attacking had been heard in the radar station established in Moscow, and the interception order from the Air Defense Command was issued immediately.

But before there was time to report the number and distance, a burst of exclamation followed: "No, their speed is too fast, stop them..."

The experienced commander had already calculated that he could not intercept and could only urgently activate the red flags sent to Stalin.

Stalin frowned slightly when he saw the air strike signal. For the sake of this military parade, he was very annoyed that so many fighter planes had been dispatched, but he still did not stop the German planes.

"The Air Force needs to adjust it!" Stalin thought to himself. He did not evacuate immediately. The eyes of many Soviet soldiers and people below were focused on him. He could not make too sudden moves. Moreover, he was confident that the air defense forces arranged around Red Square could also launch any small-scale air strikes.

"There are only 12 planes, fuss!" He then learned about the number of enemy planes and was completely relieved. But he ignored the unclear model and extremely fast words behind him, and just raised his eyelids and looked into the sky.

There seemed to be strange spots swaying in the sky, but all the sounds were hidden in the continuous Ula sound on the Red Square. Teams of Soviet soldiers were crossing the parade ground and heading straight to the front line.

Feeling the boiling scenes, Stalin didn't care about the growing spots above his head. He believed that the dense anti-aircraft artillery net would solve all these problems.

The camouflage blurred the spots of vision continued to expand, but still silently, the people on the Red Square were immersed in great patriotic passion.

Even without the shocking cheers, the roar of the plane engine and the whistling of shells, they would not pay too much attention to the small cluster in the air that threw the sound far behind them.

They naturally didn't know the series of exclamations from the air defense forces in the distance:

"They are too fast! Before they can aim, they flew over. The anti-aircraft cannons can't stop them at all!... God, they actually exceeded the speed of sound!"

Not only the speed of sound, but also the spots flying rapidly at Mach 4.8 are getting closer and closer, heading towards Red Square. (To be continued)
