Chapter 1075 Yang Conspiracy(1/2)
Sugiyama, who was in India, soon received the news, and he could only smile bitterly when he received the news. The 21st and 36th divisions were originally intended to use to delay the footsteps of the National Defense Forces.
The troops.
Now that he has been swallowed up, there is nothing left with a bone and scum. But what he didn't expect was that the Japanese army surrounded the entire Southeast Asian region turned against each other so quickly overnight.
Baoda and Qiangdi, these two poor people who were originally toys in the hands of Japanese people, took full control of real power overnight. Rama VIII, the poor king who could only go into exile in Switzerland, is now in power in Thailand.
Not to mention that those unknown groups have jumped around and a large number of them, and they cooperated with the National Defense Forces to take over the entire Southeast Asia in just a few seconds.
Sugiyama Tsubaki then realized that he thought that Southeast Asia was impregnable by the National Defense Forces had long been infiltrated like a sieve. Thinking of this, Sugiyama Tsubaki couldn't help but smile bitterly. This battle was not unfair to lose...
At this time, Japan, which had lost its strategic resource in Southeast Asia, was forced to give up the far sea after the navy was severely damaged and carried out comprehensive rectification. It only took all its naval forces back to Qiong and defended the bay.
Although it has severely damaged the Japanese Navy, the National Defense Force Navy has only given priority to escorting weapons and equipment and combat personnel to Southeast Asia for defense due to its insufficient strength.
At present, except for the remnants of Sugiyama's Southern Army, the rest of the Japanese army have all retreated to their local areas and prepared to carry out local defense operations.
The entire Japanese base camp has lost the confidence to attack again. Their only combat idea now is to support Japan until the end of the war.
Qiong Island and Bay Island have been hoarded with a large amount of troops used for the upcoming landing war between the National Defense Forces. The defense in the Pacific is based on Iwo Jima, Guam, etc.
Japan is filled with miserable mist. Although everyone is unwilling to admit it, they have to admit it. In this war, Japan has already stood aside. All they can do now is waiting for the end of the war.
Without sufficient resources to support them, even if they repaired the warships and completed the production of fighter jets, they did not have enough fuel to support their navy in an ocean-going battle.
This is the sadness of small countries. Once the resources are restricted, they cannot support the entire war on their own. When they are in war with the Qing Empire, European and American countries will not block their resources. In the Russo-Japanese War
At the time, they could win the war with American resources and Jewish loans.
During World War I, they sent almost no troops except to send cruisers to Europe to assist in anti-submarine.
It can be said that they won the wars in these few times, or they won the luck very much. But this kind of luck will not be endless.
The biggest mistake of the Japanese is that after winning the war because of luck, they think that this kind of luck is naturally their own. This kind of arrogant, complacent, and arrogant mentality almost occupied the entire Japanese leadership.
This blind arrogance eventually sent Japan to hell and could not turn over. The September 18th against China was completely failed because of the tiger slaughter. And the entire Chinese battlefield, Japan, which was originally planned to end in three months, was finally forced to withdraw.
battlefield.
Since the war has been going on, even the resources occupied by the Japanese army have been forced to be given out. It can be said that Japan was defeated in this war. Their only hope now is that the Axis powers led by Germany can win the war.
Otherwise, Japan's fate can be imagined.
The United States and other allies have already stated that they will give full power to China to handle Asian affairs. In the Philippines incident, most allies did this.
Japan has seen clues from these things. Simply put, the fate of the entire Japan is now equivalent to being in the hands of China. Of course, this is established under the premise that the Allies won the victory.
"Assince Sugiyama, I must rush to the Moscow battlefield no matter how much the price he pays!" Hirohito combined the judgment of all the staff members and ordered Miyagi Saihito: "Germany must win the war, this is ours
The only way to break away from China's control..."
"Once the Allies win the war, then the fate of our great Japanese empire..."
Hirohito didn't say the next thing, but Jae-in Xianyuan knew in his heart. They knew what the Japanese did on China's territory.
There can be said that there is endless hatred between the two countries. The commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces has seized the Japanese bacterial bombs. At the same time, he announced without hesitation that he would use these bacterial bombs on Japan.
The entire Japanese senior management knows what the Defense Force will obtain once the war continues and after obtaining the resources of Southeast Asia and technical support from Europe and the United States.
And as China gradually becomes stronger, what will Japan face?
"The rise and fall of the empire, the survival of the royal family, are all in this battle. If you win, the empire will create a century of prosperity. If you lose, the empire will not be able to turn over for a hundred years..."
What Hirohito said is not impossible. The country is vast and its resources are rich like China, and it almost never recovered after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. If it weren't for the National Defense Forces and Tu Mengben, then the road to the rise of the Chinese navy would be long and far.
But without a powerful navy, it is impossible to deter Japan at all. Even its own coastline may not be able to ensure safety, and its own territorial waters will be violated.
"Jiuchi...boom!boom!boom..." Tukhachevsky had forgotten how many times he had increased his troops, and he also forgot how many times he had sent troops to the front line in the back.
A large number of Soviet troops rushed towards the German positions again and again, and were covered by German fire in front of the positions again and again. Soviet artillery continued to fire at the German artillery positions in an attempt to suppress the German artillery fire.
But what they welcomed was the German army's more violent counterattack. It was not only the Soviet army, the British army, and the US army that suffered heavy losses, but also the British army.
Patton organized several charges to try to break through the German positions, but he returned in a defeat every time. The German positions were arranged with a large number of anti-tank weapons, and armored troops were at their disposal.
After losing more than a dozen tanks, Patton had to choose to withdraw.
The troops Montgomery brought from Canada are now few left, and those once familiar faces disappeared one by one. Batches of soldiers were transported from Canada.
The list of deaths in battle every day has a long spike. Montgomery is even numb to this. The war is so fierce that it reminds Montgomery of Verdun.
It was once a nightmare for the British and French coalition forces and the German army. At that time, France invested 75 divisions and 1.14 million people. The German army invested 50 divisions, with a force of up to 1.25 million people.
This battle caused more than 530,000 casualties in the French army, while the German army paid a heavy price of 430,000.
The cruel battle had a huge psychological impact, which almost led to the French soldiers' choice of rebellion on the battlefield. But in the end, the French command at that time issued an order to promise the soldiers that they would never participate in any harsh battles that would attack the Germans in the future.
This is why the rebellion did not really happen.
Now, the intensity of the war here has been significantly stronger than that of Versailles. The Allied forces gathered here have exceeded 2 million.
The three armies gathered in front and behind the German army, totaling more than 1.5 million. The firepower that both sides can use includes fighter jets, bombers, tanks, and even train guns!
As many as 150,000 people were already damaged in this position in the British army alone. The casualties of the US military were heavier than those of the British army. Only the casualties of the Soviet Union were not announced to the public.
But both Montgomery and Eisenhower roughly guessed that their casualties were at least 300,000. The Soviet army continued to replenish their troops with at least one division every day, and these troops might even be lost in just one day.
Then the Soviet Union continued to recruit new soldiers from the rear to go to the battlefield and kept losing it on the battlefield.
Although the German army did not have a definite number, they lost at least more than 200,000 troops based on the estimates of the attack and defense of both sides.
The reason why the Allies and the Germans suffered such great losses is that everyone knows that winter is coming. The Soviet Union in winter will be a nightmare for all enemies who attack it.
Logistics may be interrupted in the snow and ice, and tanks and fighter planes are often unavailable. Severe cold will bring about a large amount of non-combat reduction, while snow will increase the difficulty of attack.
Therefore, the German army has been desperately attacking and trying to invade Moscow before winter comes. The Allies are constantly trying to withstand the German army's stormy attacks and try to prevent the German army from entering Moscow.
Churchill and Roosevelt both issued strict orders to their respective troops, and the German army must be blocked in Moscow. Once Moscow is gone, the spirit of the entire Soviet Union will be removed.
At that time, the Allies may face the collapse of the entire Soviet Union. Obviously, the Soviet Union also knew this. So they fought to defend this position regardless of casualties and did not dare to take a step back.
"Sushiyama was defeated in Southeast Asia, and his troops had retreated to India. According to the analysis given to us by the National Defense Forces, the Japanese would likely ask this remnant army to join their Soviet expeditionary forces and be responsible for the attack on Moscow with the Germans...
”
At the Allied Operations Conference, Patton reported to Montgomery, Tukhachevsky and Eisenhower. This was not his job, but in order to make him appear at the Allied High-level Conference, Eisenhower chose to let him report.
"According to statistics from the National Defense Forces, Sugiyama's Southern Army now has at least five divisions with more than 100,000 troops. This includes the Japanese artillery and tank troops..."
The captured Japanese troops did not hesitate to explain everything they knew, and even the National Defense Forces did not interrogate them too much and then honestly explained them.
They were really scared by the fierce methods of the National Defense Forces, piles of corpses, Jingguan made of human heads, and the Japanese soldiers who were wailing with their throats cut.
This makes them frightened. Therefore, it becomes natural to explain these situations when they choose to survive from the bottom of their hearts.
"And according to analysis, Sugiyama will likely be appointed as the commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force. The 100,000 troops he owns will reach more than 150,000 after the convergence with the Japanese Expeditionary Force. In other words, our flanks are very
You may face the threat of more than 150,000 Japanese troops..."
After introducing the situation, Patton closed the document and nodded at the three Allied supreme commanders: "This is roughly the case."
Montgomery and the other three remained silent after listening to the report. It was no small matter for the Japanese army with more than 150,000 to threaten the Allies from the flanks. The Allies are now a little overwhelmed against the Germans on the main position. Why do they draw out their troops to deal with them?
Japanese?!
But if they were really brought to Moscow and cooperated with the German army to launch a comprehensive battle, resulting in the Allied Rescue being circulated, it would likely lead to the collapse of the entire battle situation.
"We must stop them. We need troops to cut off the offensive route of this Japanese army. It is best to annihilate them, and the least to prevent them from Moscow..."
The first person to speak was the Soviet Marshal Tukhachevsky. If anyone of the Allied generals present was under the greatest pressure, then there would be no doubt that Tukhachevsky would be.
Although Trotsky had never put any pressure on him since the beginning of the battle, as the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, he watched the large number of Soviet troops lose their losses on the battlefield and felt more distressed than him.
With every loss, Tukhachevsky knew what impact this would have on the Soviet Union's post-war development. With every loss, Tukhachevsky knew that the Soviet Union's vitality had been consumed by another minute.
Now it is the most critical moment of the battle. As long as we survive this period of winter, the Germans will slow down even if they are unwilling to do so.
Even if they lose strong logistical support, they can only be on the defensive and cannot attack. In the spring, the Soviet Union is covered with mud after the snow melts. Tanks and logistics will be greatly affected.
That is to say, as long as it can last until winter, the Soviet Union will win months of breathing. Within these months, as long as it receives huge military aid provided by the United States and China, the Soviet Union can survive with these weapons and equipment and battlefields.
Veterans armed a powerful army.
It was not until the end of spring and the war broke out again that the Soviet Union had the opportunity to compete with Germany on a relatively equal position.
"My suggestion is to urge the commander of the Pacific War Zone, General Tu Mengben, to send his troops to the Soviet Union to support our operations..." Tukhachevsky looked at Eisenhower and said, "Now our troops cannot be pulled out.
, Only he has just ended the battle in Southeast Asia and has many troops in his hands."
"And his troops also have rich experience in fighting with the Japanese army. I believe that he can definitely prevent the Japanese army from moving to Moscow. Even his troops may completely annihilate the remaining Japanese army..."
There were some things Tukhachevsky didn't say, Eisenhower knew but he wouldn't say them. No one was a fool. The reason why this Japanese army could roam to India and even join the Japanese Expeditionary Force was definitely the element of the National Defense Army being released.
Although they do not fully understand the situation on the Southeast Asian battlefield, they still know the general battle process. The National Defense Forces concentrated more than 500,000 troops from the two military regions and directly crushed the entire Japanese army in Southeast Asia.
From Myitkyina to Annan, the National Defense Force launched a series of offensives tore the entire Southeast Asian front of the Japanese army in just a few months. At the same time, they also launched the Philippines' lurking troops to capture the Philippines in one fell swoop.
Then, he used the arrogance of the Japanese Navy to lure them into the Battle of Manila Bay. In this battle, they completely damaged the Japanese Navy fleet. In the absence of resources, this trauma caused the Japanese Navy to temporarily enter.
Rest state.
Tukhachevsky, Montgomery and others knew in their hearts that under this advantage, the National Defense Forces could completely wipe out Sugiyama's Southern Army troops. Even if they could not be wiped out, they would at least be severely damaged. They would not cause more than 100,000 people.
There is no blocking of the evacuation.
To be continued...
