100022 Chapter 464 Tour to the United States
※…When the battle is over! After that, both Chinese and Japanese armies will have to go through a long period of time to accumulate strength, mobilize troops, hoard ammunition, infiltrate intelligence, and make sufficient preparations for the next battle.
This seems to have become a routine for the war between the Chinese and Japanese armies. Both sides also understand that their respective forces, materials, and strategic resources are not enough to completely defeat the other side. Like most armies of this era, most of the combat materials are carried by the soldiers themselves, and the logistics of this army carry a certain base of support. Therefore, the maximum continuous combat time of the Japanese division is basically around the old days, while ordinary Chinese troops are slightly shorter than this time.
From the perspective of the battle, neither Chinese nor Japanese armies have the ability to make rapid breakthroughs in the battle and implement encirclement in depth, so every ambitious battle was finally put aside because both sides were exhausted.
The emergence of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the only mechanized force on the Asian battlefield, has brought about a major change in the comparison between the two ends of this almost balanced balance. Among the senior Japanese generals, Yamashita Tomoto has seen the rapid, deep and powerful firepower and high mobility of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. However, Yamashita Tomoto, the commander-in-chief of the Indian Expeditionary Force, was not valued by the base camp, and many of his suggestions were put aside.
Due to the defeat of the joint fleet in the Pacific, the Allies gradually attacked and approached the Japanese mainland, so that the Indian dispatched troops had actually become a force suspended overseas. Because the dispatched troops cooperated closely with the Indian local forces, Kuosi, to use various resources and materials to occupy the British to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops. Although the base camp attaches more and more importance to Yamashita's isolated force, which is suspended overseas, the attention cannot be replaced by weapons and materials. Therefore, the Japanese base camp is destined to be able to provide Yamashita with support only a blank check.
Through this Guilin War, the Japanese base camp finally had an extremely intuitive concept for the Chinese Expeditionary Force, a special army different from ordinary squadrons. That is, if you want to annihilate one of its divisions under field conditions, you must at least concentrate more than 8 to old times of the force and surround it at night for tactical division. It cannot form an effective circular defense mode, and it must fight quickly and retreat quickly once dawn. The attack must be resolute, and the retreat must also be very firm.
The Chinese expeditionary forces that appeared in the Pacific battlefield, China, India, Huidian and other places have become Japan's number one major concern!
When Chiang Kai-shek learned that the Japanese army had retreated north of Changsha, he had been in Hengheng for many days in Kunming and returned to Chongqing immediately. After the war, it was obvious that it was a large-scale celebration and publicity. How could the Chairman be missing from the limelight of this.
Sure enough, on the moon and on, all the public opinion institutions of China and Japan began to become active. The previous bloody battle was a battle between soldiers and a high and low point, but now it was a competition of propaganda between the two sides. Both sides seemed to have forgotten the public moral standards of the media, and they were openly yelling and scolding in newspapers and radio stations?
Chongqing mouthpiece compliments him. Although the little boy was not tall, General Nishiji of the Umura ran so beautifully this time, his speed was unprecedentedly abandoned, and he also threw all his Japanese wife to him. It is said that if Japan has difficulties in China, he welcomes Tojo to surrender with their emperor and queen at any time. He then announced the results of annihilation of 100,000 enemies. He published a photo of the Japanese wounded soldiers who accidentally bombed when the First Mechanized Army captured Hengyang and the photos of the Japanese army siege outside Hengyang City as evidence.
The Japanese side responded quite bluntly that Chiang Kai-shek, who was full of dentures and lies, never told the truth. The so-called captives and dead bodies were all dressed by Chiang Kai-shek's own troops. The Imperial Army lost only more than 20,000 people, but it severely damaged its elite first mechanized army and annihilated 200,000!
The Japanese seemed very clever to attach several photos of the failed vehicle of the First Mechanized Army taken by their reconnaissance planes and transported it to Guangzhou for overhaul.
Song Yuhang has become accustomed to the political war of words between the two sides. However, while Chiang Kai-shek was not idle at all while fighting the war of words. In addition to ensuring deterrence to Changsha, various armies concentrated ten armies to sweep the Japanese and puppet forces in Fujian. At the same time, the Fifth Army and the newly formed First Army of the Military Commission were added to reinforce the Leizhou Peninsula, and the 4th Army, the Face Army and other units were transferred as follow-up support. After the time was ripe, the US military fleet would cover the landing on Hainan Island.
The unexpected result of the Guilin War can be said to be completely beyond the expectations of Chiang Kai-shek and Song Yuhang. As Ran Yang, what was unexpected was Tojo Hideki and Okamura Yasuko, it can be said that both sides of the battle were extremely disappointed and regretful. As both sides of the battle, the purpose of the battle was not achieved. The Japanese army failed to severely damage the main force of the squadron, nor could they wipe out the First Mechanized Army, and the squadron failed to eliminate the Japanese army's vitality, nor could they use the Japanese retreat to launch an effective attack.
In India, as the Fourth Mechanized Army, which had been replenished and replenished, began to train large-scalely and on a large scale, Yamashita Tomomori quickly reduced his troops with great caution. The British army, which had been divided and surrounded for nearly a month, finally saw hope. Yamashita Tomomori's tactic of siege but not attacking, was able to be said to have made a great success as General Mountbatten!
In order to avoid rebellion from rebels like the previous ones composed of pure Indian soldiers,
Momba Supopoye said that the British-Indian mixed troops were organized. However, in the face of the Japanese occupation, the number of Indian deserters in the British-Indian mixed troops reached the terrifying result of the sixth floor. It almost shook the British-Indian resistance. As a failed attempt, Mountbatten made Mountbatten extremely disappointed.
.
Relying on a slight airdrop every day in the encirclement, most of the resistance of the British and Indian non-commissioned officers who barely supported it came from their deep fear of the Japanese army. This fear supported their will to resist, and the Japanese Indian dispatched troops also faced the difficulties of insufficient ammunition and drugs, otherwise Yamashita Tomoto would never choose the so-called siege tactic.
When the Fifth Mechanized Army of Zhengdong Kingdom received the order to transfer defense to the country, Cui Zhijun directly commanded the Fourth Mechanized Army to launch a short-term strike against the Japanese troops that had recently departed.
With the support of the Fourth Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, most of Mountbatten's troops finally retreated to their original departure place after being surrounded by the Japanese army for more than a month. "Kolkata... For a group of allied troops with disheveled faces like beggars, Cui Zhijun, as the commander-in-chief of the army stationed in India, personally received Mountbatten, who had successfully returned to Kolkata.
Mountbatton, who was so elegant and elegant in the past, was black and thin at this moment. The originally neatly trimmed guard-style beard also turned yellow and messy, losing its luster. It was obviously a difficult life in the encirclement. In Cui Zhijun's opinion, Mountbatton was like a lost middle school student in a wild travel, "tough and restless."
When seeing Cui Zhijun, Mountbatten seemed to see his relatives. He hugged Cui Zhijun in his arms with a hug. He was very excited and sympathized with Mountbatten's experience. Cui Zhijun was very sympathetic to Mountbatten's experience. When saving Mountbatten, Cui Zhijun found that the situation of the Japanese army surrounding the British army seemed to be not much better. The Japanese army also lacked material supplies. If he gave himself three mechanized armies, under the premise of strong material and ammunition support, Cui Zhijun was confident that he would completely eliminate Fengwen's Indian dispatched army in Shanxia within two to three large-scale battles within half a year.
In Cui Zhijun's view, Bao Si's so-called million-man army of the Indian National Army is simply a group of native chickens and tiles, and it is simply synonymous with vulnerable conditions.
However, Cui Zhijun is very clear that neither the Japanese Indian Expeditionary Army nor the Indian National Army of Bao Si can fight too hard, otherwise the Chinese Expeditionary Army will lose its meaning of existence. As a force that lives in the cracks that internationally recognized, the Chinese Expeditionary Army is like a child without a mother. The country has been weak for a long time, and it is not deterrent internationally. Everything about the Expeditionary Army must rely on itself.
Moreover, the German army that had already rampant in the Middle East had long attracted Cui Zhijun's attention. Unlike the Japanese army, the German army could collect supplies at will and simply. The main combat power of the German army also comes from strong logistical support, but walking a long supply line is still the weakness of the Germans, so Cui Zhijun is not too worried.
However, in response to this, Tang Zhijun still mentioned Song Yuhang, "Wake up, after all, how can others be arrogant next to the bed? The Japanese are ally of the Germans. As the war continues to advance, the mad dog Fengwen of Yamashita may be a thousand things.
However, this time Song Yuhang no longer cared about India, because the main combat direction of the Chinese Expeditionary Force had already transferred to the domestic battlefield, but obvious resistance had already emerged. Song Yuhang needed to communicate with the United States as soon as possible and get support from the United States. The Chinese Expeditionary Force expanded and divided the two routes to attack the Japanese army at the same time.
Tomorrow, the United States will issue an emergency invitation. President Truman and Secretary of Defense General Marshall will make arrangements for the next combat plan on the Pacific battlefield and agree on the quantity and progress of US aid weapons and materials.
Due to the involvement of US aid supplies, neither Song Yuhang nor Chiang Kai-shek could give up this huge temptation. After repeatedly sweeping Taiwan's Japanese Navy and Air Force combat power, the main force of the US Pacific Fleet completely isolated Taiwan. The Japanese army in Hainan also shrank after being frequently bombed by the US military. In this way, the supplies from the Philippines can be easily transported to the hands of the First Mechanized Army and the Fifth Mechanized Army.
The Fifth Mechanized Army, which was on standby on the ten islands of Leizhou, was doing adaptive training while waiting for the US military to mobilize landing ships to prepare materials. The officers of each department strengthened the gathering and intelligence analysis meeting. According to Song Yuhang's requirements, Zheng Dongguo repeatedly emphasized the particularity of Hainan Island and wanted to fight an annihilation war rather than a defeat war. Once the Japanese army fled into the mountainous areas, the Fifth Mechanized Army would face a long-term and repeated clearance work, which was what Song Yuhang was most worried about.
To this end, after Song Yuhang returned to Guangzhou, he immediately sent three assault teams commanded by Ye Chuan to cooperate with Zheng Dongguo. Regarding the red guerrillas on Hainan Island, Song Yuhang could not avoid it this time. The relationship between the two sides in China was not tense due to the existence of Japanese people, but some minor frictions were still heard occasionally.
The battle to recover Hainan also depends to some extent on the cooperation of these red guerrillas. Song Yuhang was extremely impressed by these ancestors who only rely on belief to support the heroic battle on Hainan Island that cut off the supply. Due to the hasty nature of the attack and the strictness of the intelligence blockade of the Japanese garrison troops in Hainan Island, the Fifth Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was about to launch an attack, only the understanding of Hainan Island was stopped, and the written information was written. Therefore, the ability to obtain relevant cooperation was also the guarantee of the battle.
Song Yuhang instructed Zheng Dongguo and Ye Chuan to recognize the existence of the Red Guerrillas and provide support within a certain range, but pay attention to the standards and warn the arrogant soldiers below to regard them as friendly forces, and tolerate each other for small frictions. The most important thing is not to let Chongqing notice anything!
Song Yuhang had necessary exchanges with Zheng Dongguo. Zheng Dongguo expressed great satisfaction with Song Yuhang's arrangements, but he was worried about funding the Red Guerrillas. He was afraid that it would affect Song Yuhang's career in the joint venture, because some people consider this very important.
Song Yuhang nodded slightly. He was able to consider Zheng Dongguo from his own perspective, which shows that Zheng Dongguo has already become a member of his own group. Song Yuhang was very happy about this. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his heart and said, "It is probably unreasonable to give some rewards to the army. They are all for the sake of fighting against Japan together. Various different propositions can be put aside first. After defeating the Japanese, the Chinese people close the door and put down their troops and solve them any way they want! We are soldiers, and now we only fight the Japanese. In the future, our strength will be strong and we have formed enough deterrent power. Then all wars will be strangled by our strong combat power. The same is true for deterrence to stop the war and defeat the soldiers without fighting."
Song Yuhang's words made Zheng Dongguo slightly stunned. As a veteran and ambitious soldier, Zheng Dongguo was naturally not a person who was willing to live in the long term. He was afraid that Song Yuhang would be content with the status quo, but after the battle was over, he was appointed as a marquis and dismissed. Moreover, Song Yuhang's words today were obviously a recognition or temptation of him. For an outsider arranged by the chairman, Zheng Dongguo has been approaching the Expeditionary Force, a small group independent of the central branch, which was independent of the central branch. Although Zheng Dongguo knew that the process of gaining recognition would be very difficult and long, he also knew that if he was always an outsider, he would be very easy to get out, and the strong atmosphere of personality worship within the Expeditionary Force also made an outsider feel very lacking in belonging, and he seemed not so coordinated and satisfactory in command.
Although Song Yuhang was full of things, he still secretly took a special plane to the United States on time.
On the old days of the morning, Truman and Marshall met Song Yuhang in a village club in the suburbs of Washington.
After the host and guest seated, Truman smiled and said with a smile: "It is important to be a major secret. General Marshall and the British side suggested to me that the best commando in the world is in your hands. Now we need them, which is a very urgent need. Do you understand? Song!"
Song Yuhang was startled at first. Truman looked at Marshall and removed all the miscellaneous products. After that, Marshall opened a confidentiality material and handed over a pen to Song Yuhang. Song Yuhang took a slight look and said, "This is a confidentiality agreement!"
Marshall nodded and said, "We can only talk after signing it."
Song Yuhang signed a confidentiality agreement without hesitation, turned the pen around and handed it back to Marshall. Marshall tried to turn it around but fell to the ground. He picked it up immediately after being embarrassed.
Truman saw that Song Yuhang had signed the document, so he said, "We are developing a weapon, simply a super bomb, with very amazing power. According to the intelligence mastered by our intelligence personnel, the Japanese and Germans are also studying it. The Japanese research is slow due to the destruction of our large-scale bombing. However, the Germans seem to be faster than us. Professor Oppenheimer, who is responsible, claims that it will take two months, but we are worried that the Germans will develop it first, so we launched the Wings of Freedom.
Marshall next to him nodded and said, "I learned about this secret project that was only responsible to the President not long ago. Although we suffered heavy losses in this bombing operation, we successfully destroyed an important German research institute. What we are going to destroy is a heavy water factory hidden in a secret base in the Helam mountains in Norway. This is a joint assault operation. Major General McCann of our CIA and senior agent of the British Intelligence Agency Vihina will participate in the operation. We have our intelligence base in Ram Town, and Norwegian underground resistance organizations will also cooperate with us.
Song Yuhang looked at Marshall and suddenly interrupted, "So I hope I will send a commando to cover your people in and get relevant information. Then completely blow up where?"
Marshall smiled and said to Truman: "Look! I like dealing with smart people like Song.
Marshall then said: "We decided to start from the source and completely destroy the Nazis' heavy water-making Vimold Chemical Plant. At first, the British thought of bombing, but it was quickly rejected. The reason was that for the chemical plant surrounded by mountains, bombing not only could not hurt the fur of the factory, but it was likely to cause disaster to the residents of the neighboring Vimold Town. Finally, the British wartime cabinet handed over this difficult task to the "Gormand" assault force, which was specifically commanded by the commander of the assault operations, and was guaranteed and coordinated by Stevenson, the National Security Coordination Bureau."
