In Berlin, Germany, Hitler was holding a letter in his office with a complex expression. *Literature Hall* This is an autographed letter from China, written by Tu Mengben, Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht.

It was brought back from China by Gerhard and Franz and handed to Hitler personally. After learning that the negotiations had failed, Hitler was angry and wanted to turn over the table, but after reading the letter, he fell silent.

In this letter, Tu Menghu said to Hitler:

Personally, I greatly respect and hope for broader and deeper cooperation between China and Germany. But from a practical perspective, we have to admit that there are huge differences between China and Germany.

The biggest difference between us lies in Japan. When Japan launched a war against China and massacred my compatriots on my land, it was destined that only one of us and Japan could exist in the war.

This is what I think, and the Supreme Committee of our coalition government thinks so. Even the three million soldiers of the entire National Defense Force and the entire 400 million compatriots in China think so.

There is no compromise between us and Japan. I once thought of my first meeting with the head of state. At that time, I was just the leader of a local warlord, but I was lucky enough to see and talk to the head of state. It was a great honor!

Since then, our cooperation has begun to get on the right track. From Tiger tanks and Tiger Shark fighter jets to our smelting, chemical industry, machinery, raw materials, etc., we have conducted extensive cooperation.

For a long time, there were no differences between China and Germany. Even when we declared war on Japan, we never mentioned Germany. Germany also did not mention us when it declared war on the United States.

This is a way for us to cherish the friendship between the two sides, but we may all know in our hearts that one day we will have to face reality. It is impossible for Germany to give up Japan as an ally. And it is impossible for China to compromise with Japan.

Therefore, our friendship can only stop here temporarily. The guarantee I can make to the head of state is that the Chinese National Defense Forces will not take the initiative to attack the German army on the Soviet battlefield.

And I also believe that the head of state understands very well that the German army's war in the Soviet Union is no longer facing the Soviet Union. What the German army has to face is the Allied forces including Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, etc.

The cruelty of the war will greatly exceed the intensity on the European battlefield. If Germany unfortunately fails, all I can do is try my best to preserve German territory...

To be honest, Hitler was about to get angry when he saw this. But at this time, news came from the front line that the German armored forces were stopped outside Moscow, and the troops blocking them were the British and American troops!

Hitler then remained calm and did not get angry on the spot. After reading the letter several times, Hitler finally walked to the fireplace and threw the letter directly into the fireplace.

"Tell Harget and Franz that they never brought me any letters. They went to China just to negotiate. After the negotiations failed, they came back. They did nothing else. Do you understand?!"

"Hi! Hitler!" the secretary responded loudly. Although he was confused, he still chose to follow the orders of the Führer.

After the secretary left, Hitler locked himself in the study alone and did not allow anyone to disturb him. At this time, he suddenly had a doubt, can we really win this war...

Before, they had a lot of confidence in defeating Hitler in the Soviet Union. Germany as a whole also had a lot of confidence. But now that they learned that the British and American troops had entered the Soviet Union on a large scale, their confidence was fading.

If we talk about the Allied forces that are most familiar with the German army, none are more than the British army. They have fought constantly in Europe, and those soldiers and officers who survived are all soldiers with rich combat experience.

As for advanced equipment, there is no doubt that the US military will take the lead. The US's frightening productivity is not just talk. They are now producing warships at a rate of one cruiser per month.

As for fighter jets, factories in the United States can provide more than 3,000 fighter jets per month. Although the agreement between the allies and China has not been fully announced, Hitler had his own channels to know that China was sending a large number of laborers to Canada, the Soviet Union, and other countries.

cooperative mining in the vast territory within the country.

At the same time, the United States is responsible for providing mining equipment and smelting equipment. With the raw materials guaranteed, Hitler could not imagine how much output China and the United States could produce!

"Didn't we capture hundreds of thousands of Soviets?! Don't waste these people. Send them to oil wells and minerals immediately. We need these now, Germany needs these!" At an urgent meeting, Hitler faced the Nazis

The senior executives said.

"Whatever can be mined will be shipped back to Germany. We must speed up the production of fighter planes, tanks and warships. If my estimate is correct, the Chinese will soon launch a major campaign in Southeast Asia to completely eliminate Japan.

"

As he said this, Hitler paused and suddenly issued a strange order. He did not explain any reason for this order, nor did he mention any reasons. And the entire top Nazis also did not accept this order because of his extremely high personal prestige.

Dare to raise objections.

"If the Chinese Communist Party enters the Soviet Union, then our troops should not take the initiative to attack them. Of course, if they try to attack us, then I authorize you to fight back."

This order made these generals a little confused, but everyone still stood up and responded.

I hope... I hope Germany can win this most difficult battle, Hitler sighed in his heart. If it fails, then I hope the tiger can do what he said. Of course, if we win, then I will still consider it.

Your rights reserved...

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...Boom! Boom! Boom..." Five minutes after the National Defense Force announced that it would dispatch troops to the Soviet battlefield at the "appropriate time" to "assist" the Allied operations, all the troops in the Annan Weijiang front-line National Defense Force's Southeast Asian theater

The troops launched a strong attack on the Japanese positions without warning.

Artillery shelling and bombing by the National Defense Forces have occurred for some time. In order to reduce the consumption of troops, the Japanese army chose to withdraw troops from the position and replaced them with part of the surveillance troops.

At first, these surveillance troops tried their best. But after being bombarded for several days and losing dozens of people, they also learned to hide during the bombardment.

Anyway, the Wehrmacht did not attack. They only had to report to the headquarters after the shelling that no Wehrmacht troops appeared in front. But this time, they miscalculated.

Tu Sanpao took advantage of the night to gather the leading landing troops to the riverside to hide, and while bombarding, a large number of assault boats directly rushed to the other side while the smoke was thick!

"Did you see that?! I bombarded him for a few days, and these guys got scared. If it weren't for my shells during those days, we would have to pay at least two to three thousand casualties before we could get to the other side."

The gunman put down the telescope and said with a chuckle: "If we attack suddenly like this, no matter how stupid you are, you will know how to block the river with artillery fire. It will take time for our artillery to discover their position and fight back. This way

Once this happens, many of our soldiers will die..."

"This is a loss-making business. I won't do it if I slaughter three guns! I feel heartbroken even if every soldier under my command dies. Even if these gangsters are all dead, I will frown. Tell the brothers, kill these gangsters.

!”

"Yes!!" Long Shengzu was very excited. Although he had worked under Tu Sanpao in the past, it was the first time that he watched Tu Sanpao direct operations at such a close distance. At the same time, he also received explanations and guidance.

!

Even in the entire National Defense Force, there are not many people with such experience as him. After all, he can be regarded as half of Master Gun's apprentice. This status is quite big.

"Sheng Zu, don't be idle. Bring the second echelon up. They are all members of your former Yunnan Army. Don't give up to the elders of Yunnan Province, and don't embarrass your father. Fight hard!"

"Yes!!" Long Shengzu's eyes were all red. The only thing his father told him when he went to the battlefield was: Don't embarrass the elders in central Yunnan, and don't make people laugh at us because the Yunnan army cannot fight.

This sentence has always been imprinted in his heart. Every time he goes to the battlefield, what he thinks more about is not his own life or death, but that he cannot let the Yunnan Army and his old father be unable to hold his head up.

Charge into battle. Long Shengzu never lags behind. The bullet marks on his body are all on his chest and never on his back. It is precisely because of this that Tu Sanpao made an exception and took him with him to personally explain his strategic layout and

Tactical thinking.

Of course, the gun master will definitely not know these magical strategic arrangements, tactical thinking and other terms. In the gun master's view, this is just a simple war. Find out the other party's thoughts, and then give him what he wants.

Dig a hole.

After that, he was buried alive. This is what Gun Master thinks of fighting.

"Nani?! The National Defense Force has already rushed to the position?! How is this possible?! Didn't we deploy a garrison at the forward position?! Why is there no report?!"

Sugiyama Yuan suddenly jumped up with a livid face. Everyone would be angry that his carefully arranged position was breached like this.

"Your Excellency, Commander, due to the continuous artillery bombardment by the National Defense Forces, the forward divisions suffered heavy losses. Therefore, they did not place all the troops in the position. They only placed observation posts without deploying troops..."

"Malu Yelang! These idiots are committing a crime!!" Sugiyama Yuan became angry all of a sudden. He dropped the tea cup in his hand and roared: "Order the troops to concentrate their firepower to clear out the landing National Defense Force troops. The artillery division will immediately

Go to support, the nearest artillery brigade of No. 4 position will go to support immediately! Do not let the National Defense Forces stand on the position!"

"Order the Army Air Force to take off immediately to assist in the operation! Request the Navy to provide tactical assistance and let their shallow-water heavy gunships enter Weijiang's front to assist in the operation..."

Sugiyama Gen issued seven or eight orders in one breath, and then he put on his military cap and went to the front line.

But just as he entered the forward observation post of Position No. 1, which was fighting against the National Defense Forces, a pale-faced telegraph soldier ran in like a gust of wind holding a telegram.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call from Position 4! The National Defense Forces suddenly launched a raid on Position 4 half an hour ago. They used a large number of artillery and assault boats in an attempt to force a landing..."

Sugiyama Gen's face was extremely exciting. He grabbed the telegram and took a look. He couldn't help but take a breath. The National Defense Forces did launch an attack at position 4. Although the momentum was relatively weaker than position 1, these troops had to break through the 4th position with only a small amount of artillery.

Position number is not a problem at all.

"Malu...where is the main direction of the National Defense Force's attack?!" Sugiyama Yuan's expression was uncertain. Positions No. 1 and No. 4 were the key defensive positions of the Japanese army.

These two Weijiang positions have certain tidal flats, and the river surface between the two banks is relatively narrow, making it easier to cross for combat than other positions.

Therefore, these two positions have always been the key defensive positions of the Japanese army. Relatively speaking, position 4 is easier to land than position 1. Therefore, Sugiyama Gen deployed a brigade of artillery troops there early in the morning.

It is to prevent a sudden attack by the National Defense Forces.

But what Sugiyama Gen didn't expect was that the first wave of the Wehrmacht's attack was on Position 4. But it was natural when you think about it. Although Position 4 was relatively difficult to attack, the Wehrmacht had been shelling here for several days.

The firepower points that need to be identified have been identified, and most of the fortifications have either been destroyed or are close to collapse. Although it is more difficult to attack than Position 1, there are also relatively fewer artillery.

There are two natural highlands on both sides of the beach in Position 4. The Japanese army deployed a large number of firepower points and defenses at these two highlands. If the National Defense Forces landed directly, they would first encounter attacks from these two highlands.

Crossfire.

Except for some mines and obstacles laid by the Japanese army, there is no cover on the beach. It is almost like a living target once you step on it.

However, the National Defense Forces had other ideas. They first used a large amount of artillery fire to force the Japanese troops to withdraw from their positions without conducting surveillance amidst the artillery fire. Then they landed amidst the smoke of gunfire, the roar of artillery and the sound of explosions.

Undoubtedly, their approach was correct and successful. The Japanese were deceived and allowed them to successfully land on the tidal flat. By the time the observation posts on the Japanese army's position reacted, the soldiers of the National Defense Force had already occupied the Japanese army's position.

The most forward positions on the high ground on both sides.

With these positions, it is not difficult for the landing troops to temporarily hold back the position observation post with less than a hundred people. Behind them, a steady stream of troops landed on the beach and spread out.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...Boom! Boom! Boom..." The artillery of the National Defense Forces did not stop roaring. They carried out extended fire to cover the rear of the position.

A large amount of artillery fire prevented the Japanese army's support. Although the Japanese army's artillery responded at this time and began to shell the river and its own forward positions. But by this time it was already too late...

"Quick! Occupy the position immediately and set up the machine guns! Hurry!!" Company Commander Luo Jia, who was on the position, roared loudly and led his soldiers to rush toward the Japanese position.

Those Japanese observation posts that were still on the position were constantly firing their light machine guns, trying to stop Luo Jia's attack.

"Chirp...boom!!" The Fire Crow 40mm individual rockets that followed the company into the position played their due role at this time. Two hundred meters away, the Fire Crow directly killed the Japanese machine gunners on the position in one go.

"Charge!" Luo Jia didn't say anything. He led the soldiers around him and rushed toward the Japanese position along the skirmisher line. The soldiers who followed behind him broke into about a hundred meters and directly used grenade launchers to point at them.

Japanese troops threw grenades from their positions.

Those at the rear holding Fire Crow B 40mm individual rocket launchers were rapidly loading rockets and ready to launch again at any time.
