Chapter 1887 Confidence

readx;

Just An Yi is in a dilemma... I don't know if the "Northward Advance" should be launched as soon as possible... Plan. At a time when troops were sent from the western shore www.biquge.info of Lake Baikal and Méng to directly liberate the Northeast and Far East in response to the war in the Americas, good news came from the nuclear base in Dara, and with the successful operation of all 10 nuclear reactors in early April this year, the electricity provided was mainly used to refine weapons-grade sodium and bowls, and by the beginning of September, 100 kilograms of uranium-235, which can be used for an atomic bomb, had been successfully enriched, and the final filling had begun, and the first nuclear test was expected to be carried out by January next year at the latest.

As long as there are nuclear weapons in hand, plus missiles, jet fighters, and nuclear submarines that can travel tens of thousands of miles underwater at high speed, Nanhua is actually in an invincible position, and even if Japan wins the battle in the Americas, Nanhua is completely sure that it will blow Japan back into the Stone Age, and there is no need to make extraneous branches and make a fuss for the Americans.

As far as South China is concerned, it already has the ability to challenge any dangerous situation, so it is only right that it is better to quietly develop the economy, especially the development of light and heavy industries, and close the gap with the United States. At this time, An Yi really has the confidence to grasp the trend of the times.

Unlike Germany and the Soviet Union, which fought happily on Eastern Europe, where all fronts were intertwined, and battles were often fought in the form of hard-fought battles, the Japanese paid more attention to the application of tactics because the battle lines were too long.

Recently, little Japan has really learned that whether it is South Africa or Central America, its commanders are good at using their brains when fighting, and always attack in positions that the Allies do not think of, disrupting the defense lines of the Allied forces, and taking the lead.

In mid-August, Japanese troops advanced into El Salvador from the coastal plains of western Nicaragua.

At this time, most of the U.S. troops were concentrated on the east coast in order to get timely assistance from the U.S. mainland by sea, but they were somewhat beyond the reach of the west coast.

El Salvador, a small Central American country of more than 20,000 square kilometers, with a total population of less than 200,000 and an army of less than 1,000, was no match for the Japanese army.

The Japanese did not stop much in El Salvador and continued their attack from the west coast towards Guatemala.

In late August, the Japanese army successively conquered the port cities of Cipacate and Champerico on the west coast of Guatemala, and the capital Guatemala City was seriously threatened. At this point, the Guatemalan government had no choice but to issue an urgent statement that Guatemala was willing to join the "Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere" created by Japan and contribute to the anti-US imperialist hegemony.

The Guatemalan government requires that Americans and diplomats within its territory must be in eight hours

Otherwise, the Guatemalan government will not be able to ensure their personal safety.

The Japanese army has won many victories in Central America, especially since there is now a situation in this region

o The "anti-US imperialist" upsurge has caused a huge shock in the international community.

In order to welcome these new recruits, Hirohito, who is preparing to move the capital, made a statement in Tokyo expressing his warm welcome to these countries that have joined the "Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere," and he has instructed the government to provide loans totaling up to 200 million yen to these countries in the near future to help develop their economies.

In his speech, Hirohito highly praised the determination and courage of the military and people of the American countries to resist oppression and the power politics of US imperialism, saying that the Japanese Government will not sit idly by and ignore the enthusiasm of the people, and that the two million Japanese troops currently gathered on the Australian continent will soon be transferred eastward to land in the American countries, completely destroying the colonial yoke imposed by the United States on the American countries, and truly realizing the equality and cooperation of all the people of the Americas.

Finally, Hirohito hopes that more countries in the Americas will take active action to fight and fight for the construction of a fair, just and reasonable new international order.

Hirohito's speech shocked the world, and if the invincible Japanese army on the Australian continent were all transferred to the American battlefield, it would be tantamount to a great disaster for the United States. Under such circumstances, the United States and the political circles can no longer sit still, and a steady stream of troops will be sent to Latin America.

Soon after Hirohito's speech, Hitler and Mussolini also expressed their support for the just cause of the people of the Americas in Berlin and Rome, saying that the time had come to change the old international pattern, and that with the help of the Axis countries, the Americas would become the Americas of the Americans, and would not belong to the United States, a group of foreign conquerors.

Roosevelt and Churchill, on the one hand, criticized the betrayal of the American countries, and on the other hand, actively mobilized troops to stabilize the situation in the Americas, and at the same time were wary of a larger-scale landing operation that the Japanese army could launch at any time.

Under pressure from Congress and the government, George Marshall, chief of the U.S. General Staff, deployed the Third Army, which was originally going to Europe and Africa, to Belize, and the Fourth, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Armies to the east coast of Mexico to protect the oil fields there and resist Japanese attacks on Mexican territory.

At 9 a.m. on 8 September, after careful preparations, the 6th Marine Division of the 5th Amphibious Corps of the US Army, under the cover of the US army's huge Atlantic Second Fleet, landed in the port of Colon on the east coast of the Méng Bay in the Caribbean Sea.

The tradition of the U.S. Marine Corps can be traced back to the American Revolutionary War 156 years ago, and since then the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the First World War have all played a role, among which the earliest armored forces of the U.S. Army were born in the Marines during World War I. Before World War II, the U.S. military deployed defense forces on the Pacific Islands were all Marine Corps officers and soldiers, and a total of 19 island defense battalions were assembled with a total of 26,685 Marines and naval medical personnel.

With the complete involvement of the United States in the war, the US Navy has been organized into two amphibious corps, namely the third amphibious corps and the fifth amphibious corps, a total of six marine divisions, of which the marine corps division is composed of three marine infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, and then with direct subordinates, engineering, engineers, combat vehicles, service, transportation,

One medical battalion each, mainly used for landing operations.

The entire landing took four hours, and it is not known whether it was due to the threat of one battleship, four light and heavy cruisers, eight destroyers, and one aircraft carrier belonging to the US Navy's Second Atlantic Fleet participating in the escort, and the 6th Marine Division did not meet any return fire during the landing.

The 6th Division, which had been slightly reorganized, marched towards the city of Cologne, southeast of the port area, without encountering any obstacles on the way, and in just an hour's march the whole division entered the bustling city.

After entering the city, the regiments did not find a single soldier of the Japanese army, not even the local indigenous citizens, after a simple search, and the silence around them was terrifying.

The commander of the 6th Division, Danrif

Commodore O was suspicious, and after reporting the anomaly, he commanded his troops to enter the city and search for the whereabouts of the Japanese army and the indigenous people.

The Port of Colon is a very good seaport on the Caribbean coast, relying on the Panama Canal and its location advantages connecting North and South America, it has developed into the third largest trading city after Sin Chew and Hong Kong, and now although it is the early forties, the prototype of a megacity has appeared, so the more than 15,000 US Marines entered the huge urban area, and were digested by the streets and buildings of the city without even a bubble.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, cautious Danriff

o Brigadier General waited outside the city for half an hour, and the ministries did not notice anything abnormal, Danrif

Brigadier General O Cow led the guards into the former government building of Cologne, prepared to build a front-line headquarters, and commanded the troops to deploy the defense.

At this time, the mutation suddenly occurred, and the streets and alleys of Cologne City and countless buildings exploded violently at the same time, and the momentum was earth-shattering for a while, and the entire earth was trembling violently.

After the violent explosion, the entire city was surrounded by fire, and many American soldiers who were not killed were panicked and fled in all directions, trampling and trampling on the dead in the midst of a sea of fire and smoke all around.

It turned out that when the US Navy was assembling along the Gulf Coast, it was detected by the S2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane captured by the Japanese army in Australia, and immediately made a prediction of the movements of the US military, and deployed-for-tat, striving to eat this opponent in one go.

The movements of the US military are actually very easy to judge.

At the same time, if the Panama Canal is occupied, that is, the Japanese army will be divided into two parts, the north and the south, which will be conducive to the US military breaking through, so from that point of view, Panama is the primary target of the US military.

Bullying the Americans not to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lieutenant General An Da 23, commander of the 19th Army of the Japanese Army, set up a desperate plan to take away all the things that could be taken away in Cologne, and then planted mines, ammunition, explosives and fuel oil transported from Colombia in the city, in order to increase the power of combustion, a large amount of firewood was piled up in some houses in the city, it can be said that Cologne City is simply a powder magazine, which will explode at a touch.

The Marine Corps is the most elite group in the U.S. military, and although its combat strength has declined rapidly after continuous expansion, it is much better than those rookies in the army, and soon the regiments and battalions directly under it took action to save themselves, clear out many areas that were not burning, and then rescue the wounded and extinguish the fire.

In the woods in the southeast of Cologne City near Lake Gatun, Anda Twenty-Three held a telescope and looked at Cologne City more than ten kilometers away, and the thick smoke produced by the explosion condensed into a huge mushroom cloud over Cologne City, and then it was dispersed by the continuous rising smoke, and the thick smoke columns reached into the sky.

Seeing this, Anda Twenty-three was very happy, turned his head and asked, "Chief of Staff, ask what the wind is now!" Major General Yoshihara immediately called to inquire, and after a while, said, "It's a southeast wind now, about level seven!" ”

"Yo Xi!"

Anda Twenty-three eyes shot a cruel light: "This time, let's burn Cologne, so that Zhuge Liang will not be beautiful!" ”

"Hey!" The Chief of Staff, Major General Yoshihara, nodded knowingly, and then gave the order: "Light the fire and burn those Americans!" ”

Five minutes later, the Japanese soldiers of the 1st O9th Division, who were lying in ambush outside the city of Cologne, quickly set fire to the burning points set up in more than 600 relatively dry areas of the tropical rainforest area.

The horror of forest fires is not only the ferocity of their fires, but also the lack of oxygen suffocation caused by dense smoke is also a huge murderer that threatens people's lives.

Seeing that the fire had become a prairie fire, Danrif, who was only slightly injured by the guards

o Brigadier General had to give an urgent order via walkie-talkie to give up rescuing the sick and wounded, and the whole division was evacuated to the port area.
