Chapter 236 The Japanese Army Strikes Hard

After a long night of trekking, the Japanese troops who arrived at the oilfield plant felt a little unbelievable when they saw the entire oilfield plant in a mess and the tragic situation of corpses everywhere.

When I was in the oil field plant, I could see the corpses of Japanese soldiers and laborers stationed in the factory everywhere. It's just that compared to these corpses, looking at those still burning oil wells, the infantry wing commander who came to support knew that this matter was really troublesome.

Not long after the resumption of operation, the Dutch Indian oil field, which had just delivered several batches of oil to China, was completely destroyed overnight. This will also have a great impact on the Japanese army, which is currently in dire need of oil.

When MacArthur, who was far away in Australia, received a telegram forwarded by Zhao Tiehu, he said in disbelief: "God, I really can't believe that they have once again destroyed the oil fields occupied by the Japanese army!"

Without the oil fields to transport oil to the Japanese army, I want to see how long the Japanese warships and fighters can hold out. This time, we did find a good ally. Next, presumably the speed of the Japanese army's offensive will also slow down. ”

Although it was not clear how much oil the Japanese had in stockpiles, MacArthur was well aware of the importance of the oil field to the Japanese army. Now that oil field has been destroyed by Zhao Tiehu, it will inevitably take a long time for the Japanese army to repair it.

What's more, this time, in addition to urging the destruction of the oil fields occupied by the Japanese army, Zhao Tiehu also killed a large number of technicians urgently transferred from China by the Japanese army. Without such professional technicians, it is unlikely that the oil field will be repaired quickly.

The most surprising thing for MacArthur was that Zhao Tiehu captured several Japanese Zero fighters. This is undoubtedly a very urgent need for the US military, which urgently needs to know the construction and performance parameters of the Zero Fighter.

Spreading out the map of the war room, MacArthur quickly said: "Let our intelligence officer in Indonesia contact the Xinghua Army to confirm the situation of the fighter plane as soon as possible." In the meantime, find a safe flight path and drive the Zeros over.

As long as we can successfully obtain a Japanese Zero fighter and transport it back to China for research, I believe that domestic aircraft manufacturers will also develop a new type of aircraft specifically for this fighter.

If we do not gain an overwhelming superiority in air supremacy, it is unlikely that we will be able to regain our lost positions from the Japanese army. To send electricity to the presidential palace, I hope to get the authorization of Mr. President. ”

In fact, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, the US military, which has always felt that it is difficult for the Asian region to develop any high-performance fighters. It was also completely abused by the Japanese army's Zero, and many of the planes deployed in the colony were blown up by the Zero fighters.

Whether it is a fighter plane equipped by the US military or a fighter plane equipped by the British army, it is not the opponent of the Japanese Zero at all. The loss of air supremacy directly affects the combat effectiveness of their ship formations.

After all, if they could not master air supremacy, their ship formations could be attacked by Japanese bombers at any time when they were sailing at sea. For this reason, MacArthur was indeed tempted to learn that Zhao Tiehu had captured several Zeros with good performance.

In his opinion, it is impossible for Zhao Tiehu to directly transfer the fighter to the US military. If the negotiation and cooperation promised to give some benefits to the Xinghua Army, Zhao Tiehu would not refuse and transfer those Zeros to the US military.

Even at present, most of the colonial armies such as Britain, the United States, and the Netherlands have retreated to Australia. However, the Japanese army's pursuit of the US-British coalition forces never seemed to stop. The two sides also started a round of battles around the Pacific islands.

The biggest headache for MacArthur was that the performance of the Japanese Zero fighter was too superior. As a result, their fighter formations took to the skies to fight against the Japanese Zero, and many times they lost more than they won. The loss of air supremacy will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the whole army.

Now that he finally has a complete sample, MacArthur will naturally not let it go. In addition to suggesting to the President that more support be given to the Xinghua Army, a liaison officer was immediately dispatched to Borneo to liaise with the Xinghua Army.

Seeing the telegram sent by MacArthur, Zhao Tiehu knew the temptation he thrown, but the US military still swallowed it in one gulp. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Tiehu still demanded the right to use a batch of new fighters from the US military.

It's just that for the Japanese troops stationed in Indonesia, they learned that the oil fields that they had finally seized were once again destroyed by the Xinghua Army, even more completely than when the Dutch left the previous time, and the Japanese military top brass was also very angry.

Even more surprising to the Japanese army was the Japanese airfield not far from the oil field, where only traces of the battle could be seen. As for the garrison at the airport, as well as the planes, it seems that they also disappeared overnight.

"Check, order the special high class, be sure to find out where the attacker is hiding. In addition to this, it is also necessary to know the whereabouts of those who are missing and our warplanes. Our fighter planes must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the US military. ”

It seems to realize that all the planes at the airport are missing, and it is very likely that the entire plane will be obtained by the US military. In that case, it would also pose a mortal threat to the Japanese army. After all, the U.S. military's military R&D capabilities are still very strong!

Now that they are in the Pacific Ocean, they can effectively suppress the US military, and the Air Force has helped a lot. If their fighters can no longer overwhelm the fighters of the US military. Then this kind of victory or defeat may change hands, and then the Japanese army will be really in trouble.

After the destruction of the oil field and the mysterious disappearance of the airport. The frequent attacks that used to occur across Indonesia seem to have begun to quiet again. It's just that for the Japanese army, this quiet is not what they want.

After sending heavy troops to take over the oil fields, I learned that none of the oil field technicians sent to Indonesia earlier had been spared. The Japanese army also had a great headache, and it was unlikely that they would want to mobilize such a group of professionals.

But the Japanese were well aware that they had to resume the exploitation of the oil fields as soon as possible. If the delay continues, the Japanese army's fuel supply will soon become problematic. This will also be a fatal blow to the Japanese army.

When the experts sent to the field to inspect the situation reported back to the situation, they told the field that it would take at least two to three months for the oil to be re-extracted. This is also a very fatal thing for the Japanese army, which is in dire need of victory.

Even more of a headache for the Japanese government was that some people began to publicize the news of the Japanese army's losses in Nanyang in Dongjing and other cities. Soon after, the Japanese army reported that there was no fuel available.

Although they are all street tabloids, they are even distributed for free. However, as these newspapers became known to many civilians, many citizens realized that the fighting potential of the Japanese bowl seemed to be constantly being weakened.

On the other hand, the war of aggression against China, to which the Japanese bowl attaches the greatest importance, has not been able to make much breakthrough so far. If the war continues to drag on like this, the future will naturally not end very well. As a result, some civilians began to appear a little flustered.

Even if the empire has always preached, these are all lies deliberately concocted by traitors in order to destabilize the country. But many civilians are beginning to feel that they should not want war, but peace.

Seeing this bad sign, Hideki Tojo still decisively adopted a strategy of pacification and suppression. With the arrest and suppression of the Japanese army, a series of rebellions began to appear in some other cities in Japan.

Some people put up signs of 'Salvation Congress' and began to secretly carry out anti-war propaganda in these cities. More and more civilians who can't survive the Japanese bowl finally choose to join the Salvation Association, hoping to save the empire that is sliding into the abyss.

Of course, these civilians who chose to join the National Salvation Association also hope that in the near future, they will have the opportunity to become the heroes of the establishment of the New Day Bowl. At that time, maybe they will also have the opportunity to become heroes and heroes of the country!

The situation of internal and external troubles made Hideki Tojo quite a headache. After ordering the special high school to find out the head of the 'Salvation Association', Hideki Tojo could only increase the strength of the defenders guarding the cities as an emergency force.

Even according to the current situation, Hideki Tojo directly ordered the Japanese troops stationed in the Philippines to form a division and attack the Davao area in Mindanao again. From there, the encirclement and suppression of the Xinghua Army was launched.

However, for the Japanese troops stationed in the Philippines, the transfer of a division to Mindanao also means that the number of troops stationed on Luzon must be reduced. In this way, the intensifying rebellion and uprising can only be put aside for the time being.

When the Japanese division boarded the ship and began to rush to Davao, Zhao Tiehu, who was far away in Indonesia, finally chose to lead his squadron of soldiers to urgently return to Mindanao and personally command the next base camp defense.

It is clear that this time, it is necessary to beat the Japanese army attacking Mindanao, so that the Japanese army will understand that Zhao Tiehu, who should not easily launch an offensive on Mindanao. While ordering the troops to shrink the defensive line, they began to mobilize heavy forces near Davao.

The villagers living in the mountains urgently moved to the rear, while the garrison troops that were training in the rear moved forward. Around the jungle around Davao, Zhao Tiehu planned to fight a bloody battle with the attacking Japanese army there.

MacArthur, who learned of this, also seemed a little worried. even said that he would provide some support to Zhao Tiehu at the appropriate time. But Zhao Tiehu knew that it was impossible to count on the support of the US military.

Therefore, Zhao Tiehu handed over Li Hao, who was left behind, to start the first-level preparation procedure. For a time, in the dense forests around Davao, officers and soldiers of the garrison could be seen everywhere seizing the time to strengthen the fortifications and digging air-raid shelters.

On the contrary, a large number of migrants who moved into the rear lived in underground bomb shelters prepared in advance. As for when these civilians will be able to return to the villages where they lived before, it will depend on how the fighting progresses.

If the Japanese army is not completely defeated, the Japanese army will not easily give up the opportunity to destroy the wolf warrior base camp. But for Zhao Tiehu, he also needs to use this battle to show off his muscles to the Japanese army, and let the Japanese army know that the Xinghua Army is not easy to mess with!
