Chapter 445: Unlucky Mountbatten
100015622 Chapter 445 Unlucky Mountbatton
The changing world war situation has begun to seriously deviate from Song Yuhang's familiar view. Song Yuhang knew that the historical knowledge he had soon lost its place to use. He was helpless about the changes in this kind of objective facts of compound physics. As a witness to history, he had to bear the side effects while enjoying the butterfly effect.
The main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force supplemented the preparations on the islands in the Pacific and actively deployed the materials because the Allied Pacific strategy was an established policy. Even if he was extremely arrogant and no one was afraid of fighting to Tokyo every day, MacArthur, who had to obey the dispatch of the Supreme Command of the Pacific Theater, had won the victory of the Philippines Battle, and expressed his anger that five of his seven divisions were drawn more than once.
The British and Americans originally agreed with the transfer of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's troops to India and the return to China to participate in the war, but the surprise changes unexpectedly occurred. The discordant factor is that they also control more than 26 Japanese Indian dispatched troops in their hands.
Not to mention the more than 300,000 Indian National Army, the partner of Yamashita Tomomiya, who is backed by the Middle East Corridor, is unscrupulous because Yamashita Tomomiya has made up his mind that once his Indian dispatched troops are not supported, he will bring the Germans in at all costs. Japan cannot occupy India, so the Chinese will not think about it.
Moreover, the Japanese Navy's successive losses have affected the supply and supplement of its Indian dispatched troops. The Japanese army followed the rules of local supply methods for wartime theaters since the year of Na, because Japan's poor national strength could not afford the logistics supply of troops to fight in the ocean. If Boss had not controlled the British military and ammunition factories in Delhi, Gongxia Fengwen would have been crazy at this moment.
However, after confirming that the main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, especially the First Mechanized Army, had all the armored troops returned to China to participate in the war through Myanmar, and there were only less than two so-called mechanized armies left in Kolkata, Yamashita Fengwen's courage and swelled up to fight Kolkata. Yamashita Fengwen was not that stupid, but the British gave him a great opportunity today.
That is to accept the defense zones transferred by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Mountbatten's Yingdikou Group and the Dijiu Group, as well as the four Australian infantry brigades, were almost completely dispersed. Most of them were full of British troops in India. In fact, Mountbatten ignored it. Where did the Chinese Expeditionary Force have so many troops to garrison everywhere?
The map of occupation that Chang Yaobian gave to Mountbatten was actually just the activity area of the First Mechanized Army. For this squadron with a very high degree of mechanization, fierce firepower, and cruel and tragic behavior, all Japanese troops could hide as far as they could, and staying away was light!
The reason why the Japanese feared the First Mechanized Army was nothing more than that the troops under its First Heavy Equipment Division often used tanks to crush the Japanese scattered soldiers, and they used this as a pleasure and enjoyed it. They did not crush them until they chased the Japanese soldiers to their mental breakdown or were tired and paralyzed to the ground. This move was a very serious blow to the morale of the Japanese army.
Now this hateful nightmare has finally left India, leaving India, and the remaining Chinese expeditionary forces have all shrunk on the Indian-Myanmar public line in Kolkata. Yamashita Fengwen's principle, which is good at using precise tactics, is to not attack if he can, fully mobilize the enemy, divide and annihilate it in the movement.
The British who are now snatching the territory are giving Yamashita a pound of Fengwen, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they can't beat the Chinese, they can only vent their persimmons. Although Mountbatten, the commander-in-chief of Southeast Asia at the time of the Allied Forces, had realized that he was playing with fire. However, political pressure from the domestic and all parties forced him to do so. He needed to recover lost territory because Britain needed an unprecedented victory to boost the morale of the domestic abolition and reinvigorate people's fighting spirit.
So the Ministry of Defense rejected Mountbatten's overly conservative plan, and decided to use the shortest time to create a huge victory.
As a result, one of Mountbatten's fists was constantly dispersed and dispatched. Under their officers, British soldiers, led by a map of one-fifty thousand, read the pronunciation of the place names above, wandering among the large and small villages and mountains of India. Some troops even sent for a week but still haven't figured out where their destination was?
So the British army fell into the slowly advancement of the Japanese army. Mountbatten, who had predicted this situation, asked those officials of the Ministry of Defense who had made sure that the Japanese would not attack, and all the war situation was shattered to such an extent in just two weeks? The army of the British Empire was so unbearable? What's more, those British and Indian troops? In contrast, the performance of the Australian infantry was a highlight. Two brigades in the four curtains actually escaped from the Japanese siege with weapons?
So, Mountbatten and the politicians in the UK suddenly realized that the original Fengwen of Shimo was always suppressed by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Japan was not afraid of the big British mules at all. Without the military deterrence of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, India seemed to have become the Japanese world overnight.
The British wanted to put pressure on the Chinese government through the United States. Since the Chinese could get the first and second fires for them, why can't they go through the third time?
But what the British expected was that the Americans had no time to take care of them!
On April 2019, Song Yuhang had always been most worried and tried his best to make up for it, and minimize the historical land that had a huge impact... Perhaps it happened, when President Roosevelt of the United States of America passed away.
Roosevelt, the first American president, suddenly died in his delicate villa in Warm Springs, Georgia. The news shocked the whole country and the world. A follower doctor said that the president, the age of Yuen, died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Since the day of his mother's prison in March 2018, the president has lived in Warm Springs to relieve him of the fatigue caused by his busyness to end the war.
President Roosevelt's sudden death can be said to have shaken the whole world. British Prime Minister Churchill became an ant on the hot pan. Heads of Axis powers such as Hitler, Hideki Tojo, Mussolini realized that this was a rare opportunity. It was officially because of Roosevelt's perseverance that the world war situation changed, and the balance of victory gradually became flat.
An iron-fisted figure can turn the tide at a critical moment, and a person can create an era. It can be said that the war is competing with the potential for sustainable development of comprehensive national strength, science and technology industry and resources, but Shanghai needs a commander of a soul like a helmsman sailing in the sea. Now that the helmsman of the allies has fallen, the opportunity is naturally self-evident! Before the hour, Vice President Harry and Truman were sworn in as acting president of the United States of America.
On April 2, the operation of the huge US military's military's operations almost stopped. Even the American bombers taking off from Iwo Jima and Saipan to bomb Japan suspended their established bombings. It can be said that the allies were in disarray.
All this was unexpected to Song Yuhang because of the suspension of the huge US military institutions. The originally busy airport and harbor of Kolkata also became strangely silent. There was no plane taking off and landing at Kunming Airport for a whole morning.
Because in the original history, Roosevelt fell on the eve of the surrender of Germany and Japan, his death brought more sorrow to people. However, the real situation now is that the Germans and the Soviets are still strangling each other, and the Japanese are also dying. Roosevelt's death had a huge impact on the morale of the Allied forces. Almost all American officers and soldiers spontaneously mourned the outstanding president in American history, a person who gave them hope for victory.
If Song Yuhang had been using the power of the butterfly effect to continuously change history in order to maximize national interests, as a vested profiteer, Song Yuhang also had to bear the strong side effects of the unpredictable butterfly effect.
Song Yuhang's first mechanized army also slowed down and stopped in Yulin. He wanted to be very sure whether Chennard could complete the airdrop of the combat materials and ammunition reserved in Kunming, which was crucial to Song Yuhang.
On April, Li Zongren's vanguard of left-wing army, the Fifth Army Division, had a fierce battle with a part of the Japanese Third Division in Libo County west of Guiyang, and a small artillery battle broke out. At that time, because Chiang Kai-shek considered the establishment of the Fifth Army, Song Yuhang's 200th Mechanized Brigade directly promoted the army in order to return the establishment of the Assistant Division back to the Fifth Army, this catty. The newly formed No. 1 Force Division can also be used as elite soldiers and generals. The weapon was American firearms replaced by the Qingyishui Expeditionary Army. Not only did the twenty-four millimeter cannons assigned by Chiang Kai-shek, but also six American old millimeter howitzers in a battalion, so the Japanese suffered a great loss in the artillery battle.
The central army commanded by Bai Chongxi fought fiercely in Hechi between Nanning and Guiyang and the Japanese pigeon division Hiroshi Takahashi's second unit. Although the Sino-US joint air force assisted the war, Bai Chongxi took the lead in the battle with his own direct 7th Army. The Fourth Army even dispatched a light tank to assist in the battle, but because the Japanese army's garrison system was intact and mostly permanent fortifications of concrete components, and the Gui army's single tactics and poor coordinated combat capabilities, although all the officers and soldiers of the 7th Army were determined to fight bloodyly, they only broke through a line of defense of the Japanese army.
Before approaching Guilin, the Japanese army stopped him extremely fiercely. Judging from the scale and depth of the Japanese blocking positions, the Japanese army had made some preparations. Can the first mechanized army led by him attract the attention of the main force of the Japanese army in depth after entering the enemy? This has become an important part of whether the battle can be successful.
Song Yuhang knew that Chiang Kai-shek's so-called trick was that the Japanese army had to gather superior forces to siege the First Mechanical Chinese Army, and then the left and middle forces of the army formed two iron fists to break the Japanese defense in front of each other, thus forming a hinge-like killing game. All Japanese troops would fall into a state of disregard for the beginning and end. It can be said that Chiang Kai-shek's move was a surprise victory. He used the Japanese, the strongest First Mechanized Army, which the Japanese believed to be the strongest, and handed it out as bait, and then waved two iron fists to divide the Japanese army into two lines with lightning speed and annihilation. You must know that the Japanese army they are facing now is their last strategic mobile force on the Chinese battlefield. Fighting over these strategic mobile units of the Japanese army means that the Japanese must change from strategic stalemate to strategic defense for a long time in the future, which is of extraordinary significance.
However, Song Yuhang did have some concerns and headaches about Lao Jiang's masterpiece. In history, his reorganization was thrown out like this. Because the bait was thrown out too far and long, and the two pounds prepared, the fist could not be smashed to the opponent's blocking, so this masterpiece could easily turn into a stupid move.
However, for Chiang Kai-shek, who likes to be arbitrary, what he cannot accept most is his own strategy and tactical deployment has been questioned by his subordinates. Therefore, Song Yuhang can do his best to do his best to be careful. After all, he is still a leader and a commander at present.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was in charge of Kunming, was very satisfied with Song Yuhang's orderly construction and management of Kunming. He did not interfere with everything in Kunming, nor did he allow some people from the central government to reach out. In his opinion, Kunming was like the fief he gave to Song Yuhang, representing infinite trust.
However, Song Yuhang was able to summarize everything into the state, without any private things. When inspecting the Heavy-Duty Factory First and Fifth Factory, Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied that the ones in the production workshop were all his awakening Shihengyan, because the careful Chiang Kai-shek found that most of these slogans were old and dusty. Obviously, they were not the fools of the regional party committees who catered to him for the temporary addition, especially the saying that a country, a leader, a commander and a will made him very useful!
However, Chiang Kai-shek did not know that the things that were thrown into the ragged warehouse were indeed temporarily found, so they didn't even take time to wipe them. After learning that the main force of the First Mechanized Army had arrived in Yulin, Chiang Kai-shek was so excited that night that he had added a bowl of rice.
The death of US President Roosevelt caught Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling off guard. However, Soong Ziwen has been very close to Truman, who is now the US President, which is good news for Chiang Kai-shek. American aid cannot be interrupted. Even if they are only willing to use it on Song Yuhang's expeditionary force, no matter how the expeditionary force is under Song Yuhang's command, the expeditionary force is still its own troops. As long as it is like this time, a command will be like thousands of troops. Without hesitation, thousands of troops will rush back to the country to serve the king and rescue the emperor without hesitation.
This time, Chiang Kai-shek had no reason to think of Stilwell, who was trying to lose his squadron command. Chiang Kai-shek's evaluation of him was a bad thing with ambition. How could his family allow others to spendthrift? On the sensitive issue of the army's recommendation and command, Chiang Kai-shek never gave in at all.
Perhaps like the aid provided by the United States to China, in addition to arranging Soong Mei-ling to visit the United States in recent days to hang up President Roosevelt, Roosevelt's death was not as shocked to the Eastern world as the West, and the sky had not yet collapsed in China. Song Yuhang's understanding of this is that the Chinese people have been relying on themselves since the beginning of the year, and Britain has formed a dependence on blood transfusions from allies, especially the United States. Simply put, even if the allies in World War II win, the British Empire is destined to set the sunset. The British Empire, which is still breathing, must tie itself firmly to the American chariot, and even be willing to become a pawn of the United States, so as to ensure their international vested interests. Although the British cannot see it in front of them and may not be willing to admit it, all this will become a reality in the near future.
He was following the steps, which was Chiang Kai-shek's favorite, so he had a break early before he reached the point of induction. Unlike Chiang Geshi's steady sitting in Diaoyutai, although Nichiji, the Net Village, was very steady and strong, he almost ignored the Chinese army's rushing forward in a fierce manner.
However, Nishiji Okumura pretended to be calm and calm. According to his information, at least twenty elite troops of Chongqing government troops were placed in front of him, preparing the 0th Army, the Fifth Army, the Eighth Army, the Fourth Army, etc., were all old enemies of the Japanese Imperial Army. Such a huge lineup made Nishiji Okamura feel a gorgeous feeling, and what made Nishiji Mura was even more restless was that the most elite first mechanized army in Chongqing had not stopped in Nanning and went straight to Yulin. What was the intention of Naka? What exactly did Song Yuhang want to do?
Neiji, who stood in front of the map and thought hard. Is Song Yuhang's goal to Guangzhou? Neiji, who was constantly extending along the railway line, could not believe his judgment. If his judgment was correct, then was this First Mechanized Army a little too arrogant? He dared to go deep into his hinterland alone?
At the same time, Neiji of the Umura also realized that this was a ruthless chess that closed his desperate efforts to remove firewood. He either concentrated all his troops to retreat to Changsha and waited for changes. On the one hand, he withstanded the fierce attacks of two armies, and at the same time concentrated all his mobile forces to encircle and annihilate Song Yuhang's First Mechanized Army, and then followed the origin of the First Mechanized Army to attack Nanning and Guiyang to copy the Chongqing army behind the Chongqing army. Then several tens of thousands of elite Chongqing troops would fall into the territory of fighting on both sides. The only possibility of solving the Chinese incident?
Yoshiji Muramura took a deep breath to calm down his excitement. Yuri knew that as a senior commander, she could not have wishful thinking, because this wishful thinking was undoubtedly a disaster for a huge battle. She must rationally measure and judge the balance of power between the enemy and us in front of her.
Under the order of Nishiji Tonmura, the entire Central Sendant Army's Front Command was running wildly at full speed. Nishiji Okamura asked his staff to remain calm and use objective and practical standards to designate a draft of the combat of the First Pine Mechanized Army of China that attempted to suddenly occupy Guangzhou.
It can be said that this combat draft itself cannot calm down these Japanese staff members who are known for their professionalism. What unit is the first mechanized army in China? I am afraid that no Japanese people don’t know. Even domestic children often rush to play a Chinese army that has caused humiliation when playing war games.
