Chapter 837 Why did they attack during the Spring Festival?

"What, the Chinese people are attacking again?" After hearing the news, Sora Tetsu was surprised and the noodle soup on the corner of her mouth dripped off her clothes.

"Go and confirm the news again!" Teraunuchi was unable to believe it for a moment. After sending the confirmation message, he sat down and murmured, "Today is the Spring Festival, how could they attack on this day?"

Although the Japanese gave up the lunar calendar Spring Festival that was synchronized with China after the Meiji Restoration and moved the Spring Festival to January 1 of the Western calendar, the elderly still knew some of the customs left over from the past.

The Japanese understand that the Chinese Spring Festival is definitely the most important festival of the year.

In the past, no matter which army in China was, there was no plan to engage in large-scale wars during the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, soldiers were all thinking about their relatives in their hometown, so where would they still have the intention to fight? Some troops would run back secretly even if their superiors did not give orders to take leave. Even if some strict military troops were on duty during the Spring Festival, they were just guarding. Where would anyone be willing to fight to the death?

The Japanese also seized the Chinese when the Spring Festival was approaching, and found out that the vanguard army had already started to take a turn for the holiday, so they took a risk and secretly transferred 200,000 troops from the Indochina Peninsula to Australia.

With the increase in the United States' support for Sydney, especially air support, Sydney has always been breathing a sigh of relief and has not been conquered.

The Americans' P-38 fighter jets on land withstood the Japanese Zero attack, and the m3 tanks that the United States continued to support also blocked the surging of the Type 95 combat vehicle team. The most important thing is that in the Sydney street battle, the Australian army performed particularly fiercely, suppressing the Japanese's madness.

The beautiful city of Sydney has been filled with more than 100,000 lives on both sides, but it is still in a stalemate, just like Stalingrad, becoming a flesh-and-blood grinder.

The Japanese have now exceeded 800,000 troops on the Australian continent, but the Australian continent is too large.

They had conquered Pas and other places in southwest Australia and also captured Piri Port in southern Australia. The price was that the troops were more dispersed. Although the white Australians on the land they captured were either killed or driven away, or locked up in the coolie camp to start mining and road construction, few guerrillas came to harass them, but in order to prevent the British and American attacks, the necessary garrison troops still had to stay.

As a result, 300,000 were separated from all over the country, and wars in the middle and lower reaches of the Murray River such as Adelaide and Mildura were also constantly recurring, drawing 200,000 people away. The remaining 300,000 attacked the defense line around Sydney. After the damage exceeds 100,000, the troops seemed to be somewhat insufficient.

Street fighting is about competing for the number of people.

On the one hand, the Japanese base camp drew 300,000 new recruits from China, and on the other hand, it also turned its attention to the elite veterans on the Indochina Peninsula.

In order to fight a decisive battle with China in the jungle, Japan drew elite troops from India and its locality and deployed 600,000 troops on the Indochina Peninsula.

But China has never intended to attack. Even when the border point cannons are fired, it will only fire the cannons. After completely sweeping one piece, it will move forward one step.

This tactic of quickly eroding makes the Japanese helpless, and the Japanese can't compare with firepower.

The ammunition supply of Australian troops almost crushed Japan's logistics, not to mention the garrisons of India and the Indochina Peninsula.

In India, some Japanese garrisons have begun to use seized British weapons to reduce logistical pressure. In order to maintain combat effectiveness, the elite troops on the Indochina Peninsula use daily weapons provided by the local government.

Guns and bullets are OK, but the massive amount of shells cannot be compared with the shells that China seems to be bombing forever.

Even though these armies retreat step by step. Even if these armies have no chance to fight, the logistics pressure still makes the Japanese senior management breathless.

Similarly, although the war in Sydney, Australia has not progressed for a long time, the military expenditures paid by the top Japanese leaders have been increasing. Even if there are protective umbrellas or counterfeit companies to provide some ammunition and weapons, some of them need real money to pay. The continuous rise in military spending has caused the blood pressure of top Japanese leaders to soar.

The logistics supply of the million Australian troops was already their limit. While they massacred and expelled Australian whites in large numbers, they also had no choice but to face the fact that the territory was occupied. But there were no cattle and sheep to drive it. The production methods of those indigenous people could not even support themselves, and this was also a friendly army that fought in concert. Where could they work as slaves?

There were very few Australian prisoners of war and civilians captured, and even if they tried their best to provide the logistics supply of millions of troops.

Japan sent 300,000 new soldiers from the local area just to replace those soldiers to Jing'an to prepare for subsequent immigration. It was somewhat similar to the construction corps, and there were many female soldiers. In addition to comfort, they could also assist in production.

As for the real combat power, the Japanese base camp still targeted the elites of the Indochina Peninsula.

"The Chinese people's erosion strategy has caused so many elite troops to spend in this way!" Some senior officials directly used military spending to make it clear.

"They can't continue to bombard, and there will always be a time to stop ground penetration!" Some Japanese people don't believe that China will continue to bomb. Although it has been bombing for more than a month, there will always be a time to stop such huge losses.

How could they know that Meng Xiang was using the base’s cheap ammunition to exchange for American support?

Although the United States cannot be opened with arms, every bombarded shell will be exchanged for a large amount of support from the stupid and happy Americans.

Even though the shrewd Americans always support the number of shells consumed by China, they would have thought of the cheap cost of the base dropping to the ground, which has already made China a big profit from it.

"The Chinese are now trying to deal with the Americans. Their eating strategy is so fast that even in another hundred years, it may not necessarily reach Singapore. As long as there is no major change in the international situation, we don't have to worry too much for the time being." Some Japanese also consciously saw the tricks.

"The Pioneer Army is cunning, who knows whether they will suddenly launch a large-scale attack!" someone retorted.

Every attack by the vanguard army was very sudden, which made some Japanese unable to rest assured.

"At least we don't have to worry recently. Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, do you think the Chinese people will launch an attack during the Spring Festival? These young masters and soldiers will definitely not suffer this." Someone's suggestions immediately won the majority of recognition.

The Japanese army always likes to use various difficult conditions to hone soldiers, except on the training ground, even in life.

Due to certain practices, the Japanese Army will always make soldiers unable to eat enough. Moreover, as the war progresses, when the logistics supply is insufficient, the soldiers will be treated worse.

Although this can cultivate a bit of wolf nature, when Japanese soldiers saw the treatment of Chinese soldiers, they completely turned into wolf-like tendencies, and their eyes were red and green.

At that time, they had not had too much contact with the extravagant American soldiers, but the treatment of Chinese soldiers was slightly inferior to that of American soldiers. In the eyes of many Japanese soldiers from poor families, this was already their lifelong goal for them.

If the Chinese had not had the extra strict methods of dealing with prisoners, many of them might have raised their hands and surrendered directly.

When some new recruits met the Chinese army, they did have many examples of surrendering. They did not have any evidence of raging on the Chinese land, and they were relatively better. Once they could not escape, surrendering was not too difficult.

Some Japanese soldiers who were jealous also began to get upset, asking their superiors to improve their conditions, and even caused a riot. This is rare in Japanese troops that have strict requirements and are fully obedient.

The main reason is that the difference between China and now is too great, which makes many Japanese people unable to adapt to the Chinese soldiers who were despised by them before, and they actually enjoyed it first.

So the name of the Chinese young master soldier spread first.

Many Japanese also subconsciously attributed their failure in China to good luck in China. With the support of major forces such as counterfeit companies, they won the victory with excellent weapons and other external objects. They still clamored that the Japanese army was invincible and the quality of Japanese soldiers was stronger than that of the Chinese army. Over time, many of them believed that Chinese soldiers were like those puppet troops in the past and could not endure hardship.

They seemed to have forgotten that so many Chinese soldiers had just come out of the hard days before.

The Japanese also received a complete vacation and defense change chart from spies in the Chinese army, which confirmed that the Chinese army had to take vacations during the Spring Festival, and even if there were large troops on duty, it was just to defend against the attacks of the Japanese army.

So the Japanese base camp secretly dispatched 200,000 elite troops from the Indochina Peninsula. In order to conceal such a large-scale mobilization, they even transferred 100,000 new soldiers, and the remaining vacancy was to use 200,000 indigenous puppet troops from all over the country to enrich the defense lines.

But no matter how secretive the actions are, they still cannot escape the cloned spies' eyes.

"The Japanese have drawn most of the elite troops, and the remaining huge part of the combat power of the army is not good. This is our opportunity!" Meng Xiang immediately summoned the giants to discuss.

"It's the Spring Festival now!" Even Fan Zhong was a little worried.

"We celebrate the New Year, but the enemy may not necessarily celebrate the New Year. Our carelessness during our holidays is likely to be the best time for the enemy to attack. A professional soldier should be alert at any time. Just treat this one as a drill!" Meng Xiang said absolutely.

"Attack!" On February 5th, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Xiang gave an order, and the southern army, which had taken a vacation in advance, took action in three groups.
