The temperature is a bit high, especially when the sun shines on people at noon, it always makes people feel restless.

Zheng Yong was wearing only a small jacket under the shade of the tree, lying on a Taishi chair, and a palm-shaped fan was "flipping" and slapping it. From time to time, he picked up the teapot on the side and drank it in his mouth.

I haven't lived such a comfortable life for a long time. As the situation on the battlefield was established, my life suddenly became easier. I didn't know what to do all day long.

Suddenly I remembered that I had just arrived at this time, and after being rescued by Chunni's father, Isn't Sun the same like that when I saw him?

When I think of Chunni, I think of my wife and children far away in the United States. Logically speaking, the War of Resistance Against Japan is about to win, and it is time to bring my wife and children to my side.

However, Zheng Yong still had no such plan. Kong Lingyi and Chunni are more useful in staying in the United States.

"You feel comfortable, you're hiding here alone to enjoy your leisure." Xue Yue, who was rushing over, curled his lips and said disdainfully:

"The battle ahead is not over yet. There are still thousands of Japanese pirates who are fighting stubbornly. Our troops have attacked several times, but they have all succeeded. If you don't urge them, you will run back and hide from the sun."

Zheng Yong waved his palm-leaf fan with a smile:

"A small handful of grasshoppers can't cause any storm. Let them go. If we even supervise the battle with thousands of enemies, then we who are the highest officials will not have to do anything all day long."

Xue Yue shook his head and picked up Zheng Yong's teapot and drank it. Only then did his dry lips soothe a lot.

Since the Japanese pirates' "Jade Broken" plan, the commander-in-chief really smelled like a horse was put on the Nanshan Mountain and swords and guns. Sometimes, they couldn't even see the figures in the headquarters all day long.

"The entire Pseudo-Eighth Division led its troops to revolt on the battlefield yesterday, and I have sent someone to contact and arrange it." Xue Yue was a little helpless and could only continue to report on the battlefield with a wry smile.

Zheng Yong took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and put it to his mouth, and said casually:

"What kind of battlefield uprising is that I see my master's situation, and the troops will quickly turn against each other. At least I can make a better reputation and reduce their sins. I can see clearly the faces of these people.

Forget it, forget it. Since they are gilded on their faces, let them go. The battlefield uprising is the battlefield uprising. They like to call their national heroes, so they have agreed to them for the time being."

Xue Yue always felt that the commander-in-chief at this time was a bit cynical and unruly. It seemed that compared with the past, he felt like he had changed his body.

"Anyway, you can do whatever you like. I won't have the energy to take care of you in the future." Xue Yue asked the orderly soldiers to bring a chair to him and sat down next to Zheng Yong.

Zheng Yong was stunned, as if he could hear something from Xue Yue's mouth. Before he could speak, he had heard Xue Yue say:

"I just received a call from the Ministry of National Defense, asking me to return to Chongqing immediately and give me a new position. As for the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, you will arrange the staff separately. My official transfer order will be handed over to you soon."

Zheng Yong's smile suddenly disappeared, and his expression became dim:

"Have you left another one? Even you left. Let's go, let's go, let's go all the way, let me leave here alone in the entire third war zone..."

After the Japanese pirates' "Jade Broken" plan was shattered, as the victory of the third war zone was established, some troops were transferred to other war zones, and now even their own deputy commander-in-chief is about to be transferred.

Zheng Yong was a little sad, after all, he had worked together for so many times.

"Boling, if you are leaving, I can't hinder your future. I'll give you a few words, just treat it as a gift for us to work together.

Zheng Yong calmed down and said:

"You are a very good person to fight. Having you by my side has indeed helped me a lot, but your bad temper is not ordinary.

Many people say in my ears that you are arrogant and don’t look down on your colleagues very much, but I tell those people that only when you have the ability can you have the capital to be arrogant!

But you can do this in the third war zone. If you go to other places, you must not do this. Otherwise, you will offend all the people and you will be the only commander. It would be meaningless to be left as a bare commander.

There is also what I worry most about, the war is going well, but once there is a failure on the battlefield, I think someone may treat you as a scapegoat..."

Zheng Yong’s worries are not unreasonable.

In another period of history, Xue Yue achieved remarkable achievements in the War of Resistance, but his fatal weaknesses were also fully demonstrated, leaving hidden dangers for him to fall in the subsequent civil war. First of all, Xue Yue was arrogant and would have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy whenever he encountered a big victory.

The Battle of Nanchang after the Wanjialing Victory, the First Changsha Battle, the Second Changsha Battle after the Shanggao Battle, and the Changheng Battle after the Changde Battle were both defeated by their underestimation of the enemy.

Secondly, Xue Yue was arrogant and offended many people. Few subordinates who had dealt with him said good things about him.

During the First Battle of Changsha and Changheng, his repeated confrontations against Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi caused some unhappiness among these two immediate bosses, and laid the groundwork for being a scapegoat after the failure of the Battle of Laiwu.

Zheng Yong absolutely does not want to see his once capable troops fall to another end.

Xue Yue nodded silently. He also knew these bad habits in him very well, but the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. If you want to change it, how easy is it?

After talking for a while, when he saw Zheng Yong's old friend, American Snyder came over, and Xue Yue stood up and said goodbye.

"General Zheng, we're meeting again." Sneed looked at the breeze and said as soon as he saw Zheng Yong: "Please let me tell you a piece of news I just got, an exciting news.

At 6:30 am on June 6, 1944, the Allied forces, commanded by General Eisenhower, made a large landing in Normandy, and successfully landed after paying a heavy price!

After the Allied Army successfully landed, a total of 326,000 soldiers and 105,000 tons of materials were landed in seven days, and more personnel, materials, equipment and supplies were continued to transport more people, materials, equipment and supplies to the European continent."

Zheng Yong smiled faintly, there was nothing to be surprised about.

I have long known that the Allies will land in Normandy and will surely succeed. However, this is also very favorable news for China.

The victory of the Normandy landing declared the opening of the Allied forces on the second battlefield on the European continent. It meant that Nazi Germany was trapped in two sides of the battle. It alleviated the pressure of the Soviet army, cooperated with the Soviet army to capture Berlin favorably, and forced fascist Germany to surrender unconditionally in advance, so that the US military could put its main force into the Pacific and fight against Japan with all its might and accelerate the end of World War II.

The news brought by Snyder at the same time was also the United States' attack on Saipan.

Saipan is the main island of the Mariana Islands with an area of ​​122 square kilometers. The Japanese guarding the island are the 43rd and 47th Mixed Brigades under the 31st Army of Lieutenant General Eira Kosuga, as well as the 55th Naval Guards under the headquarters of the Navy's Central Pacific Fleet, Tadaichi Navy, and the 1st Special Marine Corps of Yokosuka, with a total of more than 430,000 people, including 55 ships and 630 aircraft.

The US landing forces are the 2nd Marine Division, the 2nd Marine Division and the 27th Infantry Division, with a total of 67,000 personnel. More than 470 ships and nearly 2,000 aircraft of the Northern Assault Fleet Navy, responsible for maritime transport and cover support.

The US military will implement aviation and naval artillery fire preparations from June 11 to destroy most of the ground fortifications on the island.

On the 15th, the 2nd and 4th Marine Division of the United States landed in the Charancano area of ​​the west coast of Saipan and occupied the landing ground in the evening. On the same day and on the night of the 16th, the Japanese army carried out several small-scale counterattacks, but were all repelled.

On the night of the 17th, the Japanese army launched a counterattack again and once broke into the US position, but was repelled the next morning due to the lack of follow-up echelons. After the US military consolidated its landing, the 27th Infantry Division landed in reinforcements, and rushed to repair the airport and deployed artillery.

From June 19 to 20, the US and Japanese navy fought fiercely in the waters west of Mariana. The Japanese navy was defeated and the Japanese army defended the island was completely isolated. The US military captured Tapochoshan, the commanding heights of the central part of the island, and then launched an attack northward.

After 20 days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, leaving only 3,000 people. On July 6, Tadakaichi Nagamo and Yoshiji Saito, the commander of the 43rd Division, committed suicide.

In the early morning of the next day, the remnants of the Japanese army counterattacked the US army and were completely wiped out. The US troops occupied the entire island on the 9th.

During the Battle of Saipan, more than 41,000 Japanese casualties were killed and nearly 2,000 were captured; more than 16,000 were killed and 16,000 were killed and killed in the US.

The US military seized Saipan, creating conditions for capturing other islands in the Mariana Islands, and also providing a base for B-29 long-range bombers to bomb Japan's mainland.

The impact of this battle is far-reaching.

Due to Japan's defeat in the battle, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo was forced to step down. When the news of his defeat reached Tokyo, Tojo resigned as leader of the Japanese army. On July 18, 1944, Tojo and his entire cabinet resigned.

After the battle, Saipan became a base for the US military to conduct further operations in the Mariana Islands.

These good news obviously did not arouse Zheng Yong too much interest, and Zheng Yong seems to be a little numb about victory now. Perhaps his full attention is now on another matter.

For example, dropping two or more large bombs on Japanese territory. Only in this way can Zheng Yong be interested, and only in this way can Zheng Yong pay more attention.

"It seems that the war is about to end soon, this damn curse war." Snyder looked very good and said enthusiastically:

"I'm really happy that you and I can witness this great moment together and see how we achieved the final victory of the war under difficult circumstances!"

As he said that, he swung his fingers: "I think you can also pick up your wife and children."
