At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the southern hemisphere at the end of summer, the temperature continued to be above 30 degrees, and the sky and the earth were scorching, and the burning fire of war added to the heat of the human body.

"Woo-two.

The SBD dreadnought dive bomber, which was sprayed with sixteen blood-red rays of light and the "Rising Sun" logo on the fuselage, raged wildly in the low air, detonating as a string of aerial bombs fell, raising large swaths of black smoke, and stumps and severed arms were sandwiched with bloody minced meat, which was thrown everywhere.

Although they combed from the front position to the rear position, the killing machines in the sky still did not mean to give up, they swooped down with a fierce roar, tearing through the gunsmoke, revealing their hideous faces, and swept over the position, and the Brazilian army that was stubbornly resisting was once again drowned in the boundless explosion gas.

The Japanese bombers raged for more than half an hour, and nearly 100 bombers divided into three strike echelons assembled at high altitude and headed for the western sky.

Before the Brazilian soldiers in the trenches could breathe a sigh of relief, the Japanese army's fierce ground shelling began again, the whistling shells instantly ignited the air, and the smoke of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated became more and more intense.

Under heavy shelling, as short horns and whistles sounded, dense earthy yellow figures rushed into the smoke, and the sound of gunfire came from the smoke frequently, occasionally bursting with a little red light.

"Okay, finally rushed in!"

General Ishihara, the commander of the Southern American Army, who was standing in front of the rear bunker, looked at the swaying figure in the gap in the smoke with a telescope and nodded incessantly.

Lieutenant General Shibayama Kaneshiro, chief of staff next to him, also had a smile on his face, took a few latest telegrams from the staff officers, and whispered about the battle situation ahead.

Ishihara was in a happy mood, watching a ** ground force rush out of the trenches and rush towards the high ground guarded by the Pakistani army in front, one after another Rising Sun Flags were planted on the relatively ** peaks, and a kind of agitation and heroism rose in his heart.

Since landing in Chile, South America, in December, Ishihara Waner led four corps with a total of 17 divisions and eight ** mixed brigades to the east, from the Paraguay Basin and the North Chaco Plain into Brazil, all the way to the territory of Brazil, Lianke Gran Campo, Tres Laguas, Alasa Tuba and other cities, in just two months, the southwestern Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina into control, and all the way into the territory of São Paulo State.

In Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, and southwestern Brazil, the Japanese army rushed to repair a large number of field airfields and a small number of high-standard airfields capable of making contacts, drying and drying large transport aircraft, and transported ammunition and materials from North America and Colombia, as well as some heavy artillery, and began to replenish its troops one after another.

For the sake of supply convenience, almost all of the Japanese troops in the Americas now use American equipment.

The infantry is equipped with M1 semi-automatic rifles and Thompson submachine guns, the heavy firepower units are equipped with M1918A2 light machine guns and M1919A4 heavy machine guns, and other mortars, rocket launchers, helmets, first aid kits, and compass arrows are almost all American, and only military uniforms and grenadiers retain Japanese characteristics.

Since the beginning of this month, when fighting began on the border of São Paulo State, the Japanese and Pakistani forces have not been able to engage in fire for a single day. Under the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, the Brazilian army was defeated in successive battles, and after half a month, it had retreated to the outer defense line of São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, and important cities in the state of São Paulo, such as Lins, Baou, Yau, Ribeirão Preto, and Epinas, all fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

Brazil has a population of about 11 million people, including 500,000 Japanese and other ethnic groups, and about 6 million people of Portuguese, Hispanic and other Western European descent.

These 500,000 Pakistani troops were mainly equipped with defensive weapons provided by the United States after the first attack on the Panama Canal, and most of them were stockpiles after World War I.

Today, the Japanese army attacked the western suburbs of São Paulo on the south and north flanks of the Tiete River, and the Pakistani army relied on the mountain terrain to build a number of fortifications, but under the rapid and thunderous attack of the two main divisions of the Japanese 39th Army, the Brazilian army, which was mainly composed of whites, was once again dealt a heavy blow.

"Boom-"

On the defensive line held by the Pakistani army, patches of fire flared up, and then violent explosions followed.

It turned out that after obtaining walkie-talkie technology from the Americans, Ishihara immediately ordered to equip this communication equipment to the squadron level, so that artillery could be called in at any time for coordinated operations during a positional attack. At the same time, the Japanese army was also equipped with mortars and grenadiers, and the Pakistani army was basically unable to solve such a fierce offensive in close combat.

Ishihara helped the ...... on top of his head The steel helmet, half-squinted, looked at the Eastern Highlands filled with gunsmoke, and then said to Shibayama Kaneshiro: "Very good, the emperor ** team finally understands a truth: attacking under the cover of artillery fire is the most labor-saving!" Although this will cause a certain amount of accidental damage, it will suppress the enemy even more! ”

"Commander wise!"

Shibayama Kaneshiro said with admiration: "This tactic has long been adopted by our enemy, the Anjia Army, but the various departments are conservative and refuse to adopt it. Now on the battlefield in South America, our army has adopted such tactics that the Pakistani army is powerless to resist at all, which has accelerated the progress of the war!

"In the current stalemate on all battlefields, our Southern American Army is unique, and I believe that it will not be long before this vast and fertile land will be placed under the rule of the Empire!"

Ishihara smiled slightly, without modesty, and asked, "How is the northern front progressing?" ”

Shibayama Kaneshiro said: "The northern front is under the leadership of General Hoshino (Rimoto) and Imada (Shintaro)-kun, the Fifth Army, the Eleventh Army, the Twelfth Army and the Panzer Fourth Army are advancing in parallel, and the main cluster on the eastern route has captured the Borreborma Plateau, threatening Aracaju and El Salvador, which are important oil producing areas in central Brazil, and the two divisions in the middle have reached the line from the Two Brothers Mountain to the Dragon Cador Mountain, just waiting to advance to the Brazilian Altiplano, and the 29th Division in the southwest direction has advanced to the Kahimbu Mountain and the Paressis Mountain......"

Ishihara was thinking about the location of the above areas on the map in his mind, and suddenly interrupted Shibayama Kanshiro's words: "Does this mean that we have completely conquered the Amazon plains?" ”

Shibayama Kaneshiro's face flushed with excitement: "Yes, Your Excellency Commander." The Amazon Plain is the most difficult area for mankind to conquer, with dense tropical rainforests, winding rivers, lakes and marshes, and the flood season during the invasion of the Imperial Japanese officers and soldiers, but our officers and soldiers have overcome many difficulties and conquered the region without danger! ”

Later, Shibayama Kanshiro gave a detailed account of the discoveries made by the various units when they crossed the Amazon Plain, thinking that many of these areas could be cultivated and lived, and Ishihara was very relieved to hear this, and nodded again and again, and many of the plans in his heart could finally be implemented, which made his mood more and more happy.

Ishihara is well aware that in the 40s, Brazil, with a population of just over 10 million, developed mainly in the southern and southeastern regions, while the central, northeastern, and central and western regions are vast and sparsely populated, and the entire Amazon plain can be said to be a no-man's land, where continuous dense forests are the only scenery.

The reason why Ishihara adopted the tactic of dividing his forces was to find out whether these areas were suitable for human survival and to discover hidden potential enemies in time.

Facts have proved that under the guidance of Japanese guides who had been sent to Brazil more than a decade ago to find out the situation in the Amazon plain, this 5.6 million square kilometers of primeval jungle could not only hide troops, but also make full use of the geographical topography to create a self-sufficient base area.

Ishihara was not very optimistic about Japan's future, and the reason why he took the initiative to come to South America was indeed to contain the US forces and make it unable to march into the Asia-Pacific region, and the Americas would become the last battlefield of the US army, so that the war in the Asia-Pacific region would have to rely on the Anjia Army or the Chinese Expeditionary Force to complete it.

On the other hand, Ishihara had the intention of quietly retiring or simply separating one side when the future war situation was unfavorable.

The South American continent is vast, sparsely populated, and rich in natural resources, and if there are hundreds of thousands of guerrilla forces in this region, the US military will have a headache in the future after the war. You must know that the Taliban in Afghanistan in later generations were still helpless to deal with the Taliban in such a difficult situation, let alone in the forties when science and technology were far behind.

No one wanted to joke with their lives, so Ishihara was ready to take all of Brazil first, and then drive the captives and young men to secretly go to the Amazon plain to reclaim and open up a number of habitable areas as a way out. Of course, in between, steel smelting equipment, guns and ammunition production lines will continue to be delivered to the bordering areas of several countries in northwestern Brazil, so that even if it is blocked by the US military in the future, it can hold on for a long time.

Ishihara is planning his future, and the fierce battle ahead continues.

The two brigades of the attacking 60th Division were like a fist, mercilessly penetrating the defensive line held by the Pakistani army from the north side of the Tiete River.

One south of the Tiete River. The Fourth Division was deeply stimulated, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Iwahara Gongren, personally came to the front line to urge the troops to launch a strong attack, and under the close attack of bazookas and grenadiers, the Pakistani defense line quickly collapsed, and the Japanese army rushed all the way to the town of Osascu, and the Pakistani army headquarters in the center of St. Paul's city had to mobilize reserves to plug the gap.

The actions of the Pakistani army were expected by Ishihara Waner. After receiving an urgent report from the front, he quickly mobilized reserves, and the remaining two divisions of the 39th Army, the 118th Division and the 148th Division, launched an attack on the outer defense line of St. Paul from the north and south of the city respectively, and successfully advanced the front to the edge of the city in the evening.

At ten o'clock in the evening of the same day, the general attack of the Japanese army on the city of St. Paul was launched.

Frontal offense first. The 4th Division repeatedly assaulted the defense line of the Pakistani army, and the two sides fought several times with hand-to-hand combat, and the Japanese army, which had a tenacious will to fight, rushed through the defense line of the Pakistani army in one fell swoop with the momentum of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and successfully absorbed the Pakistani army on both flanks to the front, and the 60th Division seized the fighter plane and broke into the Pakistani army's position in one fell swoop, and the Pakistani army was forced to mobilize troops from the deep position to plug the gap.

As soon as the strategic reserves of the Pakistani army moved, the 118th Division and the 148th Division launched fierce attacks from the north and south flanks of the city of St. Paul.

The fierce battle continued all night, and on the eve of dawn, Ishihara's secretly mobilized mixed 1st and 8th brigades suddenly appeared in the eastern part of the battlefield, bypassing the city of St. Paul.

Two ** mixed brigades broke into the defense line of the Pakistani army, entered from the weakest rear, broke through several positions of the Pakistani army in one fell swoop, and then rotated to the two flanks, cooperating with the 118th Division and the 1st Eighth Division to attack the Pakistani army in chaos.

Fought hard until the afternoon, first. The 4th Division, reinforced by the 9th Mixed Brigade, once again broke through the three frontal defenses west of the city of St. Paul, which immediately led to the disintegration of the entire front of the Pakistani army.

At this point, the Pakistani army, lacking reinforcements, was no longer able to restore the defensive line, and had to urgently break through to Mozhi in the northeast. Under the dispatch of Ishihara Waner, the Japanese army left one division to clean up the battlefield, and the rest were first. Fourth, the 118th and 148th Divisions were in pursuit, and the Brazilian army, which had just retreated to Moge, was so frightened that before they could catch their breath, they fled again in confusion and withdrew to the city of San José dos Campos.

The Japanese were still chasing after the buttocks, and the Brazilians were tired and hungry, but they did not dare to stop and rest, and fled lifelessly along the railway in the direction of Rio de Janeiro, and along the way, people were constantly left behind and captured by the Japanese.

When the Pakistani army retreated to Volta Redonda, the Japanese pursued troops had been replaced by the exhausted 39th Army to the 33rd Army.

The 33rd, 136th, 138th, and 139th Divisions under the command of the army, a total of four divisions, engaged in fierce battles with the Pakistani army that had stopped in its footsteps in the city of Voltaledunda.

Most of the officers and men of the retreating Pakistani army were no longer able to fight, but fortunately, there were three divisions of the Pakistani army's fresh force here, and there was a strong defensive line to support them, so they fought vigorously for a while.

However, after the battle lasted for half a day, the Japanese 20th Army, which had been attacked from the north bank of the South Paraíba River, had arrived on the northern outskirts of the city of Voltaredonda, and the strong strength of the eight divisions after the Japanese army converged made the Pakistani army cry bitterly, and after a day and a night of hard fighting, most of the main force of the Pakistani army was completely annihilated, and the remnants had to retreat to Rio de Janeiro in the southeast.

When crossing the highlands on the eastern coast, the Pakistani army broke out and the troops reinforced from Rio de Janeiro met unexpectedly, and the Japanese army following behind took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the Pakistani army was in great confusion and retreated in a hurry, and the Japanese army pursued it relentlessly, and burned the fire of war to the Guandu River northwest of Rio de Janeiro.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Ishihara issued an order to suspend the offensive, preparing to first consolidate the occupied area, replenish strategic materials, and then launch a general offensive on Rio de Janeiro and its surroundings.
