Chapter 613 The war has turned?

When the Japanese gathered the ships they could gather and took a large number of troops they had finally gathered again through the Strait of Malacca, the British guarding the Indian Ocean knew nothing about this, because Seishiro Sakagaki was leading his troops from Myanmar to India at this time, and their attention was almost attracted by all. Of course, the Japanese marched towards India so well, and the Chinese army gathered in the northeast of Myanmar would inevitably be criticized by the British, but the reasons for China were very sufficient: they lacked enough supplies and were unable to launch a large-scale battle again.

The British side had no choice but to fight against the fierce Japanese army. But at this time the North Africa battle had begun. Although the British Egyptian army was unstoppable under the leadership of Montgomery, they could not support India for a while. Therefore, the Indian Governor Wavell could only use the local Indian army. Although the number of this army was not small, based on the performance of the British army in the previous Myanmar battle, Wavell was still a little helpless.

So, the war broke out in such a situation that it was extremely unfavorable to the British.

The Japanese expeditionary force landed in Somalia. After attracting some British troops from North Africa to head south, they airdropped the troops from Somalia to Egypt with nearly 100 transport aircraft loaded by the Yamato and another aircraft carrier, seizing the empty southern Egyptian city of Aswan.

This attack from the Japanese shocked the world again.

Montgomery hurriedly adjusted the deployment and tried to drive the Japanese out of the African continent. But at this time, the Germans who had never been exposed in North Africa suddenly joined the war... Rommel's armored troops entered Libya, and a large number of transport planes and bombers came with the desert fox, and most of these planes flew to Aswan, and frequently traveled between Aswan and Somalia, transporting a large number of Japanese troops to Egypt.

The battle was further expanded.

Although Montgomery was still invincible at the beginning, when his tank hit the Japanese army rushing up with a moor bottle or cluster grenade, he had to temporarily stop the counterattack. In addition, he had to face a Rommel who was no less than him and even cunningly capable of fighting...

North Africa is in urgent need!

The European Allied Command had to rush to formulate a new combat plan and send a large number of British and American coalition forces that had just assembled into North Africa. But even so, it was a bit late. Because the Axis Air Alliance had already begun to block the Red Sea route. The Mande Strait, the narrowest part of the Red Sea waters, became an insurmountable barrier for Allied ships, forcing them to change to the Cape of Good Hope. In this way, the voyage increased several times.

But this situation is not the worst.

The Japanese and Italian troops handed over their garrison in Aswan, secretly returned to the battlefield, and plunged into the Indian battlefield. As a result, this move directly exploded the chrysanthemum of Wavell who was confronting Seishiro Sakagaki on the Indian-Myanmar border. When Wavell hurriedly transferred troops to defend again, the Indian Congress party, which had reached an agreement with the Japanese, also began its own "performance". They called on the Indian people not to cooperate with the British and take the opportunity to fight for independence. Soon, "Mahatma" Gandhi, who held the banner of "non-violent non-cooperation", was assassinated and the murderer pointed the finger at the British colonial authorities.

Although Wewell and others tried their best to defend themselves, the anger of the Indians finally broke out. The originally peaceful non-cooperation movement began to show violence, and even a small-scale armed uprising occurred. The British authorities gave in at the beginning, but as the situation became worse, Wewell finally raised a butcher knife to these colonized people. As a result, the situation in India became even more uncontrollable. The Japanese army began to win one after another on the east and west sides, and even organized a so-called "Indian Independence Army" to act as cannon fodder for themselves to fight against the British army...

Victories in North Africa and South Asia also seem to be not the limit of the Japanese.

Just when artillery fire was running out in these two places, the fleet led by Tadichi Nagamoto appeared in Pearl Harbor again... Of course, the Japanese were not so lucky this time. The Japanese fleet on the expedition suffered huge losses in the battle with the reorganized Pacific Fleet. However, the problem is that this raid was the Japanese who won the victory. Pearl Harbor was destroyed again and could not serve as the US military's advance base for a short period of time. At the same time, the main force of the Pacific Fleet was also defeated. The United States' power in the Pacific was severely weakened again.

In this way, the Japanese arrogance was extremely arrogant against the backdrop of the victory of the east and westward advance.

As both the main members of the Axis powers, the performance of the Germans is also not inferior to that of the Japanese.

After taking over Stalingrad, Germany successfully captured the Caucasus oil-producing zone of the Soviet Union and led the Soviet Union to Moscow... After months of fierce fighting and losing nearly two million troops, Stalin, a guy as stubborn as Churchill, finally had to give up his capital, lead the Soviet government and a large number of military and civilians to retreat in big strides, and began a large-scale guerrilla war. However, because the Japanese army led by Nishio Suzuo on the Ural Mountains were still under the strict defense of the Japanese army led by Nishio Suzuo, Stalin could move much smaller. For this reason, many factories that should have retreated through the Ural Mountains had to move northwards. As a result, the losses suffered by Soviet industries were many times greater than before, and the entire country also showed a sense of withering under the attack of the Germans.

The terrifying momentum of fascism overwhelms the whole world in such an environment.

The main force of the Axis powers, Britain and the United States have also emerged as more pessimists. Many members of the US Congress even proposed to negotiate peace with Germany and Japan and withdraw from the war. Roosevelt also tried his best to suppress this opposition force. But even so, the situation was still extremely bad, and the United States still had the "danger" to withdraw from the war at any time!

In order to change this situation, Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to support China with all their might!

Because in the entire anti-fascist war, only China is the only highlight now... Just when the Japanese were rampant in South Asia and North Africa, the Chinese army recovered Hunan, Hubei provinces, and some areas of Anhui and Jiangxi. In addition, the previous recaptured Guangdong and Shanxi, China has shown signs of a major counterattack.

The most important reason why the global war situation is now extremely unfavorable to the allies is the Japanese's mess around. But everyone knows that if Japan fails on the battlefield in China, it will definitely lose. Because starting from China, it can directly threaten the Japanese mainland. No matter how arrogant or arrogant the Japanese are, after being threatened and attacked by the local people, they can only continue to be their turtle shrunk.

Therefore, the Chinese, American and British governments began to have frequent contact. At the same time, under the heavy threat of the Japanese Navy, ships from Britain and the United States began to send a large number of strategic materials to China at the risk of their lives.

Originally, the suggestion made by the British side was to launch an attack on Myanmar and seize Yangon Port. Then these materials could go north from Yangon along the railway and then transport it to Kunming along the Yunnan-Burma Highway. However, the Chinese side rejected this suggestion. Because the Chinese government saw through the British government's "sincerebral intentions" at a glance! Although a safe material transportation channel was opened, this also meant to cut off Seishiro Sakagaki's retreat, which would force Seishiro Sakagaki to retreat with all their might, and at the same time it would be equivalent to taking the British out of fire and relieving the siege of India. It would be fine if it was an ordinary country, but the British were really not trustworthy. Almost all relevant personnel of the Chinese government could conclude that once the Japanese withdrew from India and the threat from South Asia was lifted, the UK would inevitably change its course and stop supporting China. This thankless thing would not be done.

Therefore, under the command of Qin Wei, the Chinese Air Force once again used "secret weapons" to attack the offshore island forts outside Singapore with cloud explosion bombs, and seized the place with airborne troops. Then he told the British: Malacca is safe! Of course, the British do not believe it, but after the first transport fleet crossed the Indian Ocean and entered the Malacca waters, they had to believe the Chinese... It's really safe! As long as they enter the Strait of Malacca, the Japanese warships will not harass them again. Even if everyone passes by, the Japanese warships are honest.

Obviously, there are many doubts in this, and there are many tricks, but Britain and the United States chose to ignore it. They only expressed a little hope: after receiving assistance, China can quickly launch a counterattack against Japan! No matter which battlefield or direction it is on, just counterattack.

China did not disappoint its allies.

After receiving sufficient support, they began to recover lost territory. First, Jiangxi, Anhui, and then Henan and other places. Although the Chinese army's offensive was not fierce and not quick, each step was not very advanced, but it also recovered a lot of territory under the camp. However, compared with China, the Japanese side was a little miserable, especially the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield. As a large number of supplies were sent to support the Japanese army on the front line, their lives were getting worse and worse. The continuous shrinkage of the occupied areas made them able to loot less and less. As the war continued, a large number of soldiers, as the invaders, began to get hungry, and the supply of ammunition began to be insufficient. This information surprised many people, and at the same time made many Chinese people feel that the Japanese might have lived in China soon... But soon, with the spread of a new news, people realized that the invaders could not lose so easily.

And this news is: Germany handed over a large number of weapons from the captured Soviet Red Army to the Kanto Army led by Nishio Suzuo, and these weapons rushed towards the Far East along the Siberian Railway...
