Chapter 583 shocked the world

The change in the situation in Southeast Asia can be a complete change in the situation of World War II to some extent, you know, although China involves a huge part of Japan's troops, Southeast Asia is actually an important place for Japan to replenish resources.

In particular, rubber and other important strategic resources, but the situation in Southeast Asia has undergone earth-shaking changes in less than half a year, first of all, a new force that has emerged from an unknown place has directly driven the Japanese out of most parts of Southeast Asia in just a few months.

Although there are still Japanese people on some large islands, after all, there are no more Southeast Asian countries on the Asian continent, but what people didn't expect is that this new power is not only powerful.

But then, a huge conflict broke out directly with the British, and most importantly, this conflict was provoked by the British.

There is no way to deny this matter even if the British want to deny it, first of all, it is not only the British, but also the Americans and the Chinese Expeditionary Force, not to mention which side the Americans are on, even the Chinese Expeditionary Force will definitely not stand on the side of the British, after all, the most important material delivery channel is still controlled by the guards.

The Americans did not dare to help the British casually, because the strength of the escort force was not only Stilwell, but also the various military observation groups of the United States that had come to the center countless times had fully understood that the strength of the escort force was too strong.

These new weapons are even much more advanced than those of the US military, especially the large-caliber artillery, which may not have a very large caliber, but with such artillery, the firing distance has reached a terrifying level of dozens of kilometers!

You must know that even the main guns on the most powerful Iowa-class battleships of the US military cannot reach this range! The maximum firing range of the main guns of the Iowa class is only more than 40 kilometers, but according to the observations of the Americans, the maximum firing range of the 155-millimeter grenade cannon of the escort army has reached a terrifying 50 kilometers.

This range meant that even the most powerful battleships of the era could not hit the enemy, but the enemy could bombard them.

Moreover, the power of the opponent's 155 mm caliber main gun is obviously beyond their imagination, which should also make a major improvement in gunpowder.

Therefore, although the other side does not seem to have much strength in the navy, the Americans do not dare to offend easily, because the other side has directly attacked Singapore in the Malay Peninsula and driven the Japanese into the sea, and even more than that, even the narrowest part of the Strait of Malacca has been directly crossed by the enemy's shells, which can bombard the enemy on the opposite shore.

The Japanese did not dare to garrison troops on the other side of that place now.

If their ships want to support the battlefields near Asia and the Middle East, they will have to march from the Pacific Ocean, and they must pass through the Strait of Malacca, otherwise, they will have to make an additional detour of more than 10,000 nautical miles.

There is no doubt about the importance of the Strait of Malacca, which was previously controlled by the Japanese, and US warships could not come here at all.

And now it's different. Therefore, it is impossible for the US military to speak to the British, and besides, this matter has already spread all over the world.

The British can be said to have lost an adult in the world this time, not to mention the previous escape, and now they even came to grab the land later, and the land grabbing was forgotten, when they were directly beaten back by the escorts.

The troops left behind by the British surrendered almost three times after being bombarded by artillery, and even sent clear code telegrams, which many people received.

But even so, because the firepower of the convoy was so strong, that just three artillery shots caused more than a third of the British army's casualties, or even close to half of the figures.

This number almost drove the British army insane, and the surviving soldiers were mentally disturbed.

Naturally, all of these British soldiers went directly to the concentration camp, of course, compared to the concentration camp of the Japanese, the concentration camp of the escort army was considered good, and the wounded were considered to have been properly treated. But at this point, the escort did not stop the pace of attack.

Instead, they attacked all the way and drove the British into the Ganges valley in India, and Bengal was already under the control of the Guards.

On top of that, there are countless locals who barely stay in the area. When the convoy was no longer advancing, they even started to build factories in the local area, and began to carry out the old ways of Southeast Asia again.

But this is not the most shocking, the most shocking thing is that they originally thought that the escort force did not have much navy, but soon they knew that they were wrong, and when several huge aircraft carriers appeared near the Strait of Malacca, the news spread all over the world in an instant like wings.

Several huge ports were gradually discovered, and they learned that the other party did not know when they had actually built three huge ports.

Thanks to the underdeveloped communications of this era, even if they were suspicious, they could only say that they were mistaken, after all, when Zhao Chen chose these ports, he chose a place that was not famous in the first place, just a small fishing village.

Originally, not many people had been to these places except for the locals, so of course they didn't know what the specific situation was.

But when the navy of the escort army appeared, not only the Western world went crazy, but even the United States went crazy, because these warships were extremely advanced at first glance, and most importantly, the planes on the aircraft carriers above were actually jets!

And it's a very advanced jet! You know, it's not that there are no jets in this era, but that's still a theoretical product in the laboratory, but now the jets here are very advanced at first glance.

On top of that, the guns mounted on these planes and the apparently rocket-like stuff are crazy to look at.

The huge aircraft carriers, and the destroyers that seemed to be small in size, but at first glance were very advanced and terrifying, and the speed was terrifying, and at least, the Japanese navy in Southeast Asia was lost almost in a short month.

It can be said that Japan's originally powerful navy has lost almost half of its navy in Southeast Asia! If Japan had not taken the initiative to transfer most of its navy back to the mainland, they would no longer even be able to transport soldiers to China and the islands on the mainland.

However, the withdrawal of the main warships by the Japanese to the country means that the Japanese have completely lost their sea supremacy in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean! It also means that the Japanese who are trapped on various islands have become turtles in the urn!
