"Ike, we do have the weapons you mentioned. But we have kept this weapon secret from the outside world. This is not to prevent our allies, but more importantly, we are preventing our enemies from obtaining this weapon."

"Now that you know about this weapon, we might as well speak frankly. This weapon is extremely simple to make and easy to use. As long as you are well-trained or even a single soldier equipped with a triangle ruler, you can measure the distance several kilometers away.

It causes huge damage to the target. In order to prevent our enemies from getting this weapon, we have always kept it strictly confidential..."

Eisenhower could not help but feel his heart beat loudly when he saw the telegram. This was a telegram sent to him by Tu Menghu himself. In the telegram, the Tiger did not hide anything and readily admitted that he had this weapon.

"We can use our warriors who are proficient in infiltration and use this weapon to help you attack the German positions. Now that we have formed an alliance, the coalition government and the National Defense Force will try their best to assist our friendly forces in combat..."

"But this kind of weapon should not be exposed for the time being. I only allow the US Army to accompany us. The British Army and the Soviet Army, I do not want them to be involved in this matter. This is my final bottom line..."

Eisenhower lamented that this tiger really only regarded the United States as his ally. Otherwise, he would not only allow the US military to have access to this secret weapon with them.

"I will hand over the drawings and designs of this weapon to the U.S. military at the appropriate time. And our elite soldiers going to fight this time will stay on the Soviet front line for a period of time to assist you in defense. At the same time, we will teach U.S. soldiers how to skillfully use this weapon.

A weapon..."

When Eisenhower saw this, he happily handed the telegram to Patton. Patton quickly read the telegram and then handed it to his secretary to modify the telegram.

They wanted to delete the message that the tiger would teach the US military how to use this weapon and provide the blueprints, and then tell the Soviets and the British that the tiger did not want them to participate in this operation.

"Ike, we are sending a plane to pick up the Wehrmacht people now. We don't have much time. The sooner we destroy these train guns, the better." Patton said to Eisenhower after the adjutant and others walked out of the headquarters office.

.

The latter nodded and said: "Barton, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to keep quiet and send your most elite soldiers to follow them to fight..."

Barton naturally knew what to do. He nodded with a smile and left to choose someone.

In order to destroy the train gun, the Americans were very efficient. It only took a few minutes for Tu Menghu to send the telegram of agreement, and the US military transport plane in Moscow flew directly to the imperial capital.

In the imperial capital, the No. 18 Special Commando Group, which is responsible for polar operations, urgently ended its training in North Korea and quickly took the Kunpeng transport plane of the National Defense Force and rushed back to the imperial capital.

"The combat mission is very simple. You need to go to the outskirts of Moscow in the Soviet Union to assist our friendly forces in destroying the German train guns. This time, some US troops will fight with you, but remember! Don't expect them to give you too much assistance.

Because they are all very anxious now!"

Combat Staff Officer Lei Daxiang looked at the sturdy men under his command wearing snow camouflage, smiled and said: "They are all men killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I believe you know what to do."

"So I won't say anything else. There are only three things I want to say: First, except for those US troops who are designated to assist you in combat, no one else is allowed to touch the 'Tiger Roar'. Even these designated to assist you

The U.S. military is also not allowed to conduct live ammunition firing. Machinery and artillery must be separated."

"Second, your identities, military ranks, and departments must not be revealed. Even if you die, you must not reveal even half of it! Do you understand?!"

"clear!!"

After Lei Daxiang finished speaking the above words, he smiled and said: "The third point is simple. We have always been called the 'Special Commando Team A-18'. Do you know why?!"

"I know!" is the resounding answer as usual. They know why they are called the No. 18 Special Commando Team. According to the rules of the National Defense Forces Special Commando Team, the commando team can only use the number before achieving real actual combat results.

And does not have its own title.

The crows were killed by Yingye. That’s why they are qualified to be called “crows”. The crows are also the most veteran unit among the commandos. They are known as the first commando team that can “capture tigers in the mountains and slay dragons in the sea.”

.

Also, there are the Mountain Guard Dogs. Although the Mountain Guard Dogs are not well-known, they have resisted countless targeted assassinations of senior leaders of the coalition government and the National Defense Forces, both overtly and covertly.

It can be said that the reputation of the Mountain Guard Dogs has frightened the enemy on the other front. And for this, the Mountain Guard Dogs paid a huge price. As new commando members, they were once invited to go to the Mountain Guard Dogs and Crows.

Special Martyrs Cemetery of the Commandos.

There were more than 300 mountain guard dogs lying there! This shows what kind of price the mountain guard dogs paid in order to protect the senior officials of the coalition government and the defense forces from being assassinated by the enemy.

On the tombstone of each mountain guard dog, in addition to the serial number, code name, name and life story, the process of sacrifice is also recorded in detail. "Defending the country with loyalty, unmoving as a mountain" this is the mountain guard dog.

Those who guarded the martyrs' cemetery were also the retired mountain dogs and crows. They carefully guarded the cemetery and told the deeds of these fallen comrades to those who were qualified to come to the cemetery.

Team members.

"The commander-in-chief has made it clear that this mission is an opportunity for us. It was completed beautifully. When he comes back, he will personally give us the flag!" Lei Daxiang looked at the soldiers below and said loudly.

When they heard that Tu Menghu would personally confer the flag, the eyes of the members of the No. 18 Commando Team were red. They wished they could go to Moscow right now and kill those train guns so that they could come back and receive Tu Menghu's personal flag conferring.

.

The commander-in-chief personally conferred the flag! This is an honor that only crows and mountain dogs can have. In other words, as long as they complete this mission, they will not only be able to get rid of the embarrassing name of "Special Commando Team A-18"

, and can also gain the recognition of Tu Menghu as the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces.

"Okay! Without further ado, you have half a day to repair. After that, take a plane directly to the front line to perform the mission and disband!" Lei Daliang gave the order, and everyone dispersed.

They were all veterans. They knew what they should do first. They took off their snow camouflage uniforms and equipment, returned to the dormitory as a team, changed clothes, and then went to the cafeteria to eat.

The canteens of the commandos are specially set up. In addition to being highly nutritious, the most important thing is that they have food available 24 hours a day. The canteen works in three shifts and is always equipped with materials. As long as these commandos come back, then they

Whenever the need arises, cook food for them.

"I protest! Their behavior clearly shows that they do not regard us as allies! I think they must announce this weapon to us and send personnel to teach us how to use it!"

Sure enough, after Eisenhower handed over a small part of the intercepted telegram to Montgomery and others, it immediately aroused a lot of anger. On the one hand, the British generals were jealous that the Wehrmacht had this kind of weapon. On the other hand, they were also angry about the tiger-slaughter.

This kind of attitude.

"General Eisenhower, I think we should unite to put pressure on this tiger. He must hand over this weapon, and we can give a certain price. But we need this weapon now to support our operations."

Relatively speaking, Montgomery was more sober than his generals. He knew that the tiger did not care about the persecution of the Allies. The Allies were now exhausted to deal with the German army. They had no time or energy to deal with the Wehrmacht troops.

But now the Allies really need this kind of weapon to support their war, so Montgomery thinks that they can pay a certain price to purchase it and then leave it to the United States to manufacture it.

In Montgomery's view, the allies do not have no trump cards. Those cooperative minerals and oil wells are actually a trump card. Of course, Montgomery will not support the allies' manipulation of these matters until the two sides are at odds.

"Everyone! I also think this is extremely inappropriate, so I am making a call to say that we hope to get this kind of weapon from them." Eisenhower looked very serious, but he was laughing in his heart.

Indeed, the Tiger did not regard the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom as his allies. But he at least regarded the United States as his ally. He had promised to provide weapons blueprints and training without the United States asking for it. He even said that he would allow the US military to send personnel

Assist in this battle.

Eisenhower knew that the Tiger was giving them the opportunity to observe the operation and power of this weapon up close.

"I will try my best to get the design drawings of this weapon." Eisenhower signaled everyone to be calm: "Of course, we cannot force the National Defense Forces too much. Otherwise, it will cause some adverse consequences, which we do not want to see.

of."

Eisenhower was warning these people not to use their brains. Obviously, both the Soviet Union and the British were tempted by this weapon. No one can guarantee that they will not make trouble behind the scenes to obtain weapons.

After all, those soldiers of the Wehrmacht left their homeland and came here to fight alone. And this is the territory of the Soviets. In order to obtain weapons, these Soviets may not necessarily do something dirty. The British army is actually similar.

Almost everyone here is a robber, and basically everyone has no psychological pressure or worries about robbery.

"Dong dong dong..." At this time, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. Eisenhower called in, and then saw Patton walking in with a telegram.

"General, after emergency discussions, the coalition government has decided to let our US military send five soldiers to coordinate operations. At the same time, they said that they will hand over this weapon to us at the appropriate time..."

As he spoke, Patton looked at the crowd and said: "The Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, Tu Mengben, said that this kind of weapon is very easy to make as long as it is obtained. If these weapons fall into the hands of the Germans, they organize small groups of troops to continuously infiltrate Moscow.

defense line, then no one can guarantee that our logistics supply line is safe..."

Montgomery's expression changed when he heard this. How could he not hear the subtext in these words?! This tiger clearly told them that I will give this weapon to you, but not now.

If they want to force it, I don't mind giving this weapon to the Germans.

"Lin Sen, chairman of the coalition government, said that this is the bottom line for the coalition government to send troops. If it can be done, planes will be sent to pick up people immediately..."

The conditions were very harsh, but in order to be able to hold their position, Montgomery and others could only hold their noses and accept it.

Tu Laohu frowned at the forward headquarters of the Weijiang position and studied the current battlefield situation. The Japanese fleet was blocked from the battlefield, but the air force suffered a lot of losses in order to block them.

The Japanese navy was desperately trying to break through the defense line along the Weijiang River of the National Defense Forces and support their army. Sugiyama Gen even mobilized a large number of troops to enter the position in an attempt to prevent the National Defense Forces from invading the position.

Several small towns on the second line of defense of the Japanese army were directly bombarded into rubble during the battle. Even so, the National Defense Forces were forced to fight with the Japanese army alley after all amid the rubble.

Perhaps it was because everyone from Gen Sugiyama to the lowest-ranking soldiers knew that once this battle was lost, the entire Southern Army would repeat the same mistakes as the Chinese battlefield.

Once the Southern Army, which is now the main force of the Japanese army, collapses, Japan will be equivalent to losing half of the war. The loss of South Asia will have a chain reaction of causing Japan's expeditionary force in the Soviet Union to be in trouble.

They will lose supplies, and no one is sure how long they can last on the battlefield without supplies of guns and ammunition. Moreover, the National Defense Forces can use this as a springboard to launch attacks in places such as Malay and Java.

"Our current frontline troops have suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese resistance is very strong. They even used wounded soldiers to ambush in the rubble, and detonated bombs on them to kill our soldiers when we passed by..."

Long Shengzu had withdrawn from the front line for repairs. More than half of his second echelon had suffered casualties and had to be withdrawn for repairs. Even Long Shengzu himself was hit by three shrapnel. If the guards around him hadn't tried their best to protect him, he would have fought long ago.

Dead on the battlefield.

"Commander, this battle is not easy to fight..." Long Shengzu finally concluded with a sigh. But Master Guo smiled and pointed at the map with his finger.

"Is there any easy war to fight? Battles are not easy to fight. Every time is difficult to fight." Master Pao smiled and said to Long Sheng Zu: "A war is a life-and-death fight. Knives, guns, brains,...

Food... we can’t lack anything.”

Having said that, the losses this time were really not small. The No. 4 position of the Southwest Military Region responsible for attacking almost half of the Southwest Military Region was crippled.

Of course, the losses of the Japanese army were not small. The losses of the Southeast Military Region on Position 1 were relatively small. But it was also relatively speaking. Calculated, the losses of the Southeast Military Region were also huge.

For this reason, Li Zongren was so anxious that he urgently asked Bai Chongxi to go to the imperial capital to request replenishment of reserves.

The person facing greater pressure than Bai Chongxi was Gao Zhihang. This was the most difficult battle Gao Zhihang had fought since he joined the army. The Japanese navy and army both sent out the most advanced fighters they currently have.

Due to the temporary lull in the fighting some time ago, Japan gained some breathing time. Relying on their huge manufacturing capabilities, they quickly produced a large number of new fighters and equipped them for the army and navy.

After learning from the failures of previous air battles, the new fighter aircraft manufactured by the Japanese army combined with the technology provided by Germany have come close to the performance of the Wehrmacht Tiger Shark fighter aircraft to a certain extent.

As the number of surviving Japanese pilots increased, their actual combat experience also continued to improve. This resulted in the National Defense Forces no longer being able to deal with the Japanese troops as easily as before.
To be continued...
