Chapter 1045: Thunderstorm Approaches (Part 2)(1/2)

"Nuwei, are you sure that all the Japanese troops are trapped in Annan now?! If they don't come back by then, we will be in trouble..."

A relatively older old man said worriedly: "I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong." The old man lowered his head and kept thinking.

The Nuwei next to him laughed and said: "Uncle Harris, you are too cautious. We have analyzed it before, and now the Japanese are dragged by the Chinese on the Annan battlefield and have no time at all.

Come and take care of us."

"The Chinese who have the strength to attack us do not have a strong navy. The Japanese navy is to assist the Southern Army in defending their positions and has no chance to attack us. The Americans have been driven away for at least two or three years.

Can’t come back.”

"So, this is our best chance to achieve true independence! We can become independent before they have the energy to care about us. By then, when they finish fighting this war, they probably won't have much energy to care about us.

.And we can truly become one of the independent countries in the world!"

Nuwei was full of confidence and shouted to Harris: "Uncle Harris, you can imagine! Our names will be recorded in history, and the whole family will be full of glory because of us!"

"At that time, we will all become the founding fathers of the Philippines. And those mines, oil wells, smelters..."

Every time Nuvi spoke a word, the eyes of the people present lit up. No need for Nuvi to say more, everyone knew that these things would belong to them in the future.

After the Americans left, the Japanese immediately took these properties as their own. It turned out that these big families thought that by helping the Japanese, they would at least get some leftovers.

As a result, the impoverished Japanese didn't care about anything and wanted to dig up the entire Philippines. Although the Japanese also built some schools in the Philippines, they also recruited a group of children from big families to study in Japan.

But compared with those interests, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket. The Filipinos, who swallowed their humiliation, sent most of the Imperial Army to the battlefield in China under the call of the Japanese.

As a result, not even one came back. There were hundreds of thousands of people! Even if they were all used to fill the sea, at least there would be some splashing?! The most disgusting thing is that these Japanese people did not even explain and still tried their best to let people go.

Wait for yourself and then recruit troops.

Isn't this using Filipinos as cannon fodder?! These families don't want to send their own children, but they are worried that once military power is taken over by civilians, they will be punished.

So they had to send manpower into the newly formed troops.

But as a result, the rift between the Filipinos and the Japanese has become very obvious. However, the Japanese believe that even if the Philippines has the heart to rebel, it does not have the courage to do so.

Under the pressure of the National Defense Forces, the Japanese army had to dispatch most of its troops to Annan for support.

"So our opportunity has come! Those will all belong to us Filipinos, let those Japanese and Americans go to hell!" Nuwei said, his face gradually turned ferocious.

"I have studied the development experience of the Far East Tiger. He obtained his first development funds by selling resources. In the end, he achieved his current status. We in the Philippines also have a lot of resources. And now it is a war.

In this state, resources will definitely be easier to sell! At that time, we can completely rely on the first money earned from selling resources to make the entire Philippines a world power!"

Nuvi has indeed studied the experience of killing tigers to make a fortune. Unfortunately, this Filipino monkey only saw those very superficial things and thought that he had understood the tricks of killing tigers.

But he didn't understand at all the combinations and alliances that Tu Menghu went through, and he had no way of understanding them. This kind of arrogance and self-righteousness made Nuwei think that he could completely replace that person.

The tiger became the new "Tiger of the Far East".

"Everyone, the opportunity is before us now! The future of the Philippines is in our hands! For the sake of the Philippines!" Nuwe tried his best to appear as upright as possible.

It's a pity that the oil well was mentioned just now, and the mine has already made the atmosphere on the scene look so obscene.

"For the Philippines!" the old men wanted to shout loudly, but unfortunately, their shouting seemed so weak in their old age.

At this time, Sugiyama Moto was standing at the Weijiang forward position with a livid face and was speechless as he looked at the messy fortifications that were ravaged by the artillery fire of the National Defense Forces.

"Since yesterday, the National Defense Forces troops have not stopped shelling us. We have been unable to measure how many artillery shells they used. The only thing that is certain is that they did not launch an attack on our positions..."

"Isn't this called no attack?! Aren't the emperors in those positions and fortifications being shelled by the National Defense Forces?!" Sugiyama Gen turned around angrily and roared at the division commander.

"Hai! Your Excellency, Commander, what I mean is that the National Defense Forces only launched artillery attacks on us but did not conduct a ground attack..." The division commander broke into a cold sweat and said quickly: "This is also strange for me.

place……"

Sugiyama Yuan left the observation port with a gloomy expression. He sat down on the shell box and fell into deep thought. The division commander beside him did not dare to say a word and could only stand with his hands tied.

"Sugihara, you mean they didn't launch a ground attack at all?! They just carried out a comprehensive bombardment of our defense line?!" Sugiyama Gen asked doubtfully: "So, did bombing happen?!"

"No. Except for some fighter jets patrolling the sky, there are no other fighter planes in the sky. And those fighter jets have never participated in the attack on us..."

When Sugihara said this, Sugiyama Moto became even more confused. What on earth did the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force want to do?! A tentative attack?! But it has been three days, and apart from shelling, I have not seen anything from them.

action.

"How much have we lost so far?!" Sugiyama Gen asked the division commander Sugihara Kiri again. Sugihara did not dare to neglect and quickly bowed his head and said: "Report, more than 50% of our tunnels and fortifications have been destroyed or exposed."

"In terms of casualties, more than 800 people were broken into pieces and more than 1,400 people were injured..."

"Has there been any artillery fire back?!" Sugiyama Gen interrupted Sugihara Kiri's report and asked again. But this time, Sugihara Kiri could only smile bitterly.

"After the first artillery counterattack, our artillery unit was attacked by the National Defense Forces. For this reason, more than 40% of our artillery bases were destroyed. The artillery brigade assigned to us by the command suffered heavy losses..."

Sugiyama Gen's face became extremely ugly. Now artillery was the most lacking force in his hands. In order to prevent the attack of the National Defense Forces on the Weijiang line, a large area of ​​​​defense was deployed.

Large groups of Japanese troops were stationed on each line of defense. At the same time, Sugiyama Gento arranged for artillery to support some positions that were easily vulnerable to landing.

The Weijiang front line is so long, and it is not a big river. This means that there is a lot of land that can be robbed on the Weijiang line. In order to ensure the Japanese army's advantage, Sugiyama Yuan had to dispatch all artillery.

"I will send you another regiment of artillery. This is the last power I can call on you." Sugiyama Yuan was silent for a while, then said: "Sugihara, just take care of yourself..."

"Oh?! Those gangsters don't dare to fight back anymore?!" Mr. Pao wiped his face with water. The weather in Annan was too hot. Mr. Pao from the north couldn't bear it.

If he hadn't been strong and had not drank the herbal tea that clears heat and detoxifies Pao Ye, he might have fallen ill long ago.

"They are being honest now. They even fought back once before. But our artillery was disabled and they haven't said a word since. They just watch us bombard their positions!"

Long Shengzu said with a smile: "These gangsters are quite smart. The reconnaissance plane reported that they don't put people on the position now. They just put a small number of troops to monitor the position, and the others have withdrawn to the fortifications behind."

The gun master smiled and put the towel on the shelf and asked: "Have you checked out the fortifications, artillery positions and firepower points of the Jizi people?!"

"The foundation of the artillery position has been clearly figured out. Our reconnaissance company has taken advantage of their opportunity to withdraw." Long Shengzu opened his folder and said: "And the firepower points on the position have been roughly figured out. We have

The fighter planes have already spotted their position..."

"However, we haven't figured out the rear areas yet because we haven't carried out artillery bombardment. We only know some general locations, which are not as complete as their forward positions."

The gunman lit up a cigarette and said with a smile: "It's almost done. We are doing a landing operation. We need to knock down their forward positions first so that the troops behind can easily go up..."

Needless to say Long Shengzu could guess the remaining Tu Menghu. As long as the beachhead position was occupied, even if the Japanese army had an advantage in the rear position, it would be in vain.

As long as the National Defense Forces establish a foothold in the forward position, follow-up support will continue to arrive.

When the Japanese army wants to counterattack, the difficulty will undoubtedly increase exponentially. The air force of the National Defense Force will definitely not just watch. The artillery force on the other side of the river will not just let the Japanese counterattack.

"We will continue the bombardment for two more days and ask the logistics to bring in more artillery shells. Tell the reconnaissance company that I need to know the situation of the Japanese army's rear positions. Let the artillerymen practice their skills and try firing a batch..."

Long Shengzu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Commander-in-Chief, Logistics Director Lao Zhang almost made me cry. Now we have destroyed 50% of the ammunition in the logistics reserve, and it is not easy to replenish it for the time being.

These reserves were accumulated during this period when we did not have a large-scale war. If we continue to fight like this..."

"I have already contacted the Imperial Capital. They will give priority to supporting us with the next batch of artillery shells. After a few more days of bombardment, we will almost launch a general attack."

The gunner rushed to the forward position with his binoculars. He wanted to see the effect of the artillery bombardment and listen to the reports from the officers at the forward position.

"In three days at most, our attack order will be sent. Boy, don't let me lose my temper then!"

Long Shengzu's eyes couldn't help but shine when he heard this. He had hardly been on the battlefield during this period. Now there were small harassment battles on the battlefield, and Long Shengzu didn't like it either.

And when he heard that the attack was about to start again, Long Shengzu couldn't help but be excited.

"Commander-in-Chief, are you telling the truth?!"

"Looking at the order, why are you asking so many questions?!" Master Gunnar tidied up his appearance, put on his military cap and walked out of his headquarters: "The negotiation is about to end."

The negotiations are indeed about to end, because the German troops have reached the outskirts of Moscow. They are now fighting the British troops inside the fortifications.

The United Kingdom and the United States have made it clear that they hope that the coalition government will take an immediate stance, and the United States has issued more than a dozen war loans, including leasing two battleships, five destroyers, and an aircraft carrier to the coalition government in accordance with the "War Act."

In Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, the allies will recognize the areas actually controlled by the coalition government and recognize the coalition government's special interests in these two areas after the war.

"It's almost done. Let's announce it to the public in two days!" Lin Sen smiled as he took these benefits that Yan Zhengqing had tricked him into.

Tu Menghu is also very satisfied with the bleeding of the allies. These warships can greatly enrich the military strength that the National Defense Forces Navy lacks most. Once these warships join the National Defense Forces Navy, they are not sure whether they can fight the Japanese army or at least carry out some sneak attacks and counterattacks.

It can be done.

Unlike in the past, once the Wehrmacht Navy faced the Japanese fleet alone, the only result would be defeat. The Wehrmacht now has three battleships, one aircraft carrier and two destroyers.

Relatively speaking, it is a relatively complete battle fleet group. But compared to the Japanese army, it is still extremely insufficient.

"Let's do it step by step. Let's arm ourselves first. Let the engineers speed up and build our own warship as soon as possible based on the technical data provided by the allies."

Tu Menghu put down the things in his hands and said: "As for the Germans... don't offend them completely. No one can tell when we will meet. Just tell them that this is the decision of the Supreme Committee."

Lin Sen pondered for a while, then turned his eyes to Yan Zhengqing. He didn't particularly understand the practice of killing tigers. In his opinion, since he had confirmed joining the Allies, why should he appease Germany?! It seems that there is no need, right?!

"Chairman, do you still remember the post-war matters we discussed before?!" Yan Zhengqing asked with a smile. Lin Sen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his frown slowly relaxed.

But I saw him smiling and saying: "It's done, you can just figure it out."

When the coalition government confirmed that they would fully join the Allies, the battle outside Moscow was in full swing. German heavy artillery, bombers and tanks took turns trying to tear apart the fortifications built by Montgomery.

But they did not take any advantage several times. Montgomery calmly stayed on the front line and continued to take advantage of the breaks in the battle to boost the morale of the soldiers recruited from Canada.

"Boom!!" A shell exploded ten meters away from Montgomery's side. If the guard hadn't pushed him down quickly, Montgomery might have turned into a corpse by now.

"I'm fine! Keep fighting, kill those Germans! Send them to hell!" Montgomery roared loudly, his eyes were red, and he kept dancing.

After the British soldiers on the position escaped the German heavy artillery bombardment in the tunnel, they immediately entered their own shooting positions and began to stop the German attack again.

The sound of tanks' tracks in Kerala came closer and closer, and the British anti-aircraft guns were pushed in front of the position and laid flat. This was the news that Eisenhower deliberately leaked to them when he visited Montgomery's position.
To be continued...
