Chapter 334: Battle of the Middle East

Hu Zhiyong was in the relief effort, and Zhukov's troops in the Middle East began a major counteroffensive. Stalin listened to Hu Zhiyong's advice and was determined to fight to the death. The little devil soon couldn't stand it, so he had to not resist and shrink his position.

"Attack it all the way with superior forces and superior equipment!" Zhukov was a clever military strategist, and soon found a way to attack the Japanese army. To his excitement, the two third corps were thrown behind enemy lines and soon stabbed the Japanese in the back!

The Indian troops on the second and third lines quickly collapsed, causing the Japanese to abandon their positions and run to the southeast as if they were suffering from an infectious disease. Zhukov ordered 10,000 artillery guns to fire in unison, and a large number of tank units began to attack.

The Japanese tank units also rushed over and staged a tank battle in the Middle East!

Hou Dashun stared at the screen tightly and said to Hu Zhiyong: "Young Master, this method of battle is too stupid. ”

"This is the era of World War II in which the air, sea and air forces were used!" Hu Zhiyong pointed to the positions and group armies of both sides: "If you use helicopters and bombers to attack, and equip them with air-to-ground missiles, the tank units will soon be wiped out!" ”

Historically, the Battle of Kursk was a strategic decisive battle between the Soviet Red Army and the German fascists in the Kursk salient area in 1943. In terms of the scale of the campaign, it was the largest tank battle in the history of human warfare.

And now, in order to recover the Middle East as soon as possible, Stalin has staged this drama with the little devils. The Japanese army has assembled 17 tank divisions, 3 motorized divisions and 18 infantry divisions, equipped with 2,700 tanks, 2,050 combat aircraft, about 10,000 artillery pieces and mortars, and a total strength of more than 900,000 troops.

The Supreme Command of the Soviet Army decided to retaliate with all its might against the enemy. The strategy of the Soviet army

The deployment was: 6 armies of the Central Front led by General Rokossovsky to defend the Northern Front; General Bashchin led 6 armies of the Voronezh Front to defend the southern front; With the Steppe Front as a strategic reserve. The total strength of the Soviet army was 1.836 million, equipped with 3,600 tanks and assault artillery, 20,000 artillery pieces and 3,130 aircraft, and the commander-in-chief was Marshal Zhukov.

The two sides completed the strategic assembly, 2 million troops faced each other, and a bloody battle began at dawn on the second day after the deployment of the Soviet army.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese decided to change the surprise attack to a strong attack, with tanks as the vanguard, followed by a large number of infantry. The attacking tanks were arranged in a wedge shape and attacked at a density of 100 vehicles per square kilometer. At the same time, 120 bombers, under the cover of fighters, launched a frenzied bombardment of Soviet positions.

Stick to it

The Soviets in the first line of defense fought fiercely with the Germans, and they attacked the Japanese with tanks, anti-tank guns, and Molotov cocktails filled with gasoline.

For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and flames. The whistling of shells, deafening explosions, the firing of automatic weapons, the roar of tank motors were intertwined and thrilling.

After two days of fierce fighting, both the Soviet and Japanese armies suffered heavy losses. On the battlefield strewn with corpses, the wreckage of about 400 tanks was thrown around. The Soviet army paid a huge price in this battle and finally completed the division and encirclement of the Japanese army.

The islanders lost the courage and confidence to continue fighting the Soviet Red Army, and together with a large number of Indian troops in the rear, they surrendered and fled, and finally withdrew from Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.

The Soviets reclaimed the Middle East and took the opportunity to occupy Afghanistan. Stalin did not let Zhukov continue to use troops, but began to build positions and prepare for defense through the winter of 1943.

Germany could no longer attack the Soviet Union, but it was a blessing in disguise that it lost a formidable enemy. He and England were inseparable, and it was a nightmare for Churchill!

The U.S. forces occupied Italy, and he kept shouting, hoping that the Allies would attack Germany quickly. Roosevelt stared at the map and said for a long time: "First hit France, and then form a two-sided attack!" ”

On 13 October, Italy declared war on Germany. And in the Pacific War, the U.S. army began to attack Bougainville Island.

Bougainville, the largest island in the Solomon Islands, was home to an air base on Buka Island to the north and Papua New Guinea to the south. The Japanese Navy has a naval base in the Shortland Islands to the south. These bases were used to defend Rabaul in New Britain and to support its military operations on the other islands of the Solomon Islands.

In early October, the U.S. military began air strikes on Rabaul, Bougainville Island and other places. On November 1, U.S. troops landed in Queen Augusta Bay on the west coast of Buenos and crushed Japanese resistance, landing 14,000 men before dusk and establishing a beachhead.

The next day, the Japanese Navy stationed in Rabaul dispatched two heavy and light cruisers and six destroyers to the waters near Torokina in an attempt to attack the US landing force and carry out a counter-landing.

The U.S. Navy's Task Force 39 went to intercept it, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. As a result, the Japanese Navy sank one light cruiser and one destroyer, and one American destroyer was sunk.

The Japanese army successively carried out six air assaults, with little success, and gradually lost sea and air supremacy in the waters near Bu Island due to heavy losses, and the defenders on the island fell into an isolated and helpless situation.

Hu Zhiyong's recruitment of one million recruits began to be reorganized after two months of intense training. Twenty capable divisions of recruits were transported to the Far East, and other units remained in places such as Henan and Guangdong.

After the relief work was over, Hu Zhiyong began to sell grain at low prices to ensure that tens of millions of people had a chance to survive the famine. The epidemic and disaster were brought under control, and Hu Zhiyong and Hou Dashun left.

After passing through Shanghai, Hu Zhiyong said to Aji, who was defending here with Ma Xiandeng: "The recruits will soon drive over three divisions, you have to be ready." ”

"Young master, with my division cooperating with the Air Force and Navy, it is enough to guard against those with ulterior motives!" Aggie didn't see the need to arrange so many troops.

"It's called deterrence!" Hu Zhiyong did not want to fight with the Kuomintang and Red Party troops, as long as he could scare them, he would have completed his mission. Shanghai could not be destroyed by war, and whoever won the civil war would hand over this pearl city.

The island nation was given steel and food, and suddenly its ambitions swelled again. They can't send planes to bomb, but they constantly use hydrogen balloons to carry bombs and incendiary bombs to attack their opponents.

Hu Zhiyong returned to Phoenix and thought happily: "There are only two years left before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and I want to take the opportunity to refine and store rare mineral deposits." Britain will come and occupy Southeast Asia, which will be a great threat to me! ”

The Blood Wolf Force has finished suppressing the bandits, where should this force be sent?

"We have reported that we have successfully used artificial snowfall in New Mexico, and the heavy snow has been falling for a day and a night, and I am afraid it will continue until two days later." The director of the satellite observatory came to report.

"Good!" Hu Zhiyong was happy, and he estimated that Roosevelt would soon come to his door: "With this land, we can finally feed millions of people!" Investment, you have to invest a lot of money! ”

Heavy snow was a mixed blessing for Roosevelt. The contamination has relieved him, and he has sent a special envoy to negotiate with Mr. Hu. Production and transportation made it more difficult, potentially delaying the end of the Second World War.

"Your Excellency, according to your deployment, we will begin to reorganize the armies of Italy and France." The chief of staff walked in and said to Roosevelt.

"We have supplies for supplies, and we must minimize the mortality rate!" Roosevelt sighed, as soon as the war came, enough Americans died!

"You can't cheap European bastards for nothing!" Admiral Marshall, chief of the general staff of the US army, said indignantly: "Sell the materials to Hu Zhiyong at a low price, and let him transport and resell them to Italy and France." ”

"Good!" Roosevelt smiled: "Let's just say that the German blockade could not be transported, so we had to do this." ”

“YES！”

To serve as a transport team for the US military, Hu Zhiyong was extremely reluctant. For the sake of money and profit, he agreed to Roosevelt's suggestion. Talking about New Mexico's problems, Hu Zhiyong spoke depressedly.

"Mr. Special Envoy, it is most appropriate for us to invest half and share the benefits and losses. New Mexico is 315,000 square kilometers and has a population of more than 1 million immigrants in 50 years. How many immigrants are you going to handle for me? "Hu Zhiyong is not a fool, he must speak ahead.

"Two hundred thousand!" Hopkins held out his finger and gestured two.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

The two of them were fighting, and Hopkins smiled and said, "Three hundred thousand, so you are satisfied, right?" ”

"The amount of investment, please tell me the number!" Hu Zhiyong held back a smile and began to negotiate the investment issue again.

"The total investment will be carried out in 50 years, how about we take out 20 billion each?" Hopkins asked tentatively.

"Good!" Hu Zhiyong drew a check and said to the commander of the guard company: "Inform my second brother and let him come in." ”

After Hu Zhiqiang came in, when he heard that he was going to hand over the 20 billion yuan to invest in the United States, he said in surprise: "I am not a business material, and I will lose money!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong sneezed and laughed, and said to Hu Zhiqiang: "With this shrewd ambassador here, you will not lose money." I will ask the second uncle to help you, and New Mexico will be your business start! ”

"Second uncle?" Hu Zhiqiang said happily: "Okay, I promise you!" ”

"Mr. Special Envoy, the first step is the water diversion project, and then the chemical plant, the machinery plant and other factories and mines. First of all, the residential areas, industrial areas and supporting water circuits should be built well, so as to save the waste of funds due to repeated investment. Hu Zhiyong took out the blueprints that had been planned long ago and handed them to Hopkins.

"Yours, cunning big drop!" Hopkins felt that he was a failure, and Hu Zhiyong had already calculated everything.

"Because, I'm a businessman!" Hu Zhiyong smiled proudly!
