The Philippines is not so easy to take. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause the Philippines was the last Japanese occupation zone in the South Seas. Japan has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there.

At the same time, due to the rich mineral and oil resources in the Philippines. There are also countless strategic materials. And these strategic materials are the foundation for Japan to continue to maintain a high-intensity war. Therefore, Japan will not give up on the Philippines easily.

By now, the Huaxing Guards had already occupied Malaysia. The Third Army of the Huaxing Escort Army has just occupied the Indonesian archipelago. Seeing that the Huaxing Guards had freed up their hands to attack everywhere for a new battle.

Just when the Huaxing Guards were attacking the rest of the South Seas. The Americans have fought Japan many times in Philippine waters. Since the Philippines is close to Taiwan, China. And Taiwan and the coast of China were again under the control of the Japanese.

So for the campaign to occupy the Philippines. The Americans fought hard. It has been more than a year since the Americans counterattacked Japan in early '43. The Americans, in addition to sweeping all the outlying islands of the South Sea region. However, the attack on the main island of the Philippines and the island of Taiwan has not been smooth.

On the one hand, this is due to the fact that Japan has invested extremely much in both places. There is a more important reason to deal with the combined fleet of the United States and the Huaxing group. Japan is preparing for more than half a year. A new fleet was formed.

This fleet drew some of the main warships from each of the original five Japanese fleets. Then a new fleet was formed with four newly built aircraft carriers on the mainland. And the name of this fleet is called the Japanese Combined Fleet. As soon as you heard the name, you knew that it was specially used to deal with the Sino-US combined fleet.

With the constraints of the Japanese Combined Fleet. U.S. offensives in the Philippines have been repeatedly thwarted. The fleets of both sides also fought each other several times. There are winners and losers for each other.

Due to the equal strength of both sides. No one can eat the other in one go. So the naval battle in Philippine waters has been in a state of scorching.

In the original history. The Americans began a large-scale attack on the Philippines from four or three years. It also took more than a year to occupy the Philippines.

In this world. Due to the great loss of the strength of the American fleet. So even with the help of Huaxing Group. The Americans are attacking everywhere in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Nor did they achieve any decent results.

So when Huaxing Group easily occupied many islands. After Indonesia, which is also strong. Roosevelt personally flew to Hainan Island to meet with Li Tie. Ask Li Tie for advice on the next strategy to attack Japan.

Bamboo poles delivered to the door. How could Li Tie not knock. His eyes rolled. That's when the ghost idea came out. Without the help of nuclear weapons. The Americans wanted to defeat the Japanese. It's not as easy as in a previous life.

And the reason why the Americans used the atomic bomb back then. It is precisely because of the capture of the Philippines and the outer islands of Japan such as Iwo Jima. It was decided to use it when there were heavy casualties on the island of Okinawa.

Because the Americans believed that if the US ** team directly attacked the main island of Japan. It will provoke a desperate revolt from all over Japan. Even if Japan is defeated in the end. They can't afford the loss of American personnel either.

But this life is different. First of all, the atomic bomb of the United States was lost under the trickery of Li Tie and Nanzao Yunzi. Even the factories were destroyed. Researchers have suffered a lot from it. Don't talk about researchers. Even full-fledged uranium enrichment plant workers can't find a few.

And now the Americans have not yet captured the Philippines and the outer islands of Japan. So the Americans have not seen the more tragic scene. So Li Tie gave Roosevelt a very unpaid reminder:

"What are your American advantages? It's an aircraft cannon. What are the advantages of their Japanese. It is the Japanese Army that is not afraid of death.

Why should you use your own shortcomings to fight the Japanese? Now Malaysia and Indonesia are all under the control of the Huaxing Group. You Americans can completely leave the task of attacking the Philippines to our Huaxing Group?

As for you. You in the United States now have tens of thousands of planes. All of them went to Japan. Non-stop bombing is enough. ”

"But we are separated from Japan by the vast Pacific Ocean. Even with the latest long-range bomber designed jointly by us and your Huaxing Research Institute. I can't complete the bombing mission. Roosevelt complained.

"It's easy to solve the problem of not bombing the base. You fly all the planes to Hainan. What we have is an airport. There is also a complete ground handling system.

Your American planes can take off from Hainan Island at all. If you want to bomb Taiwan, you will bomb Taiwan. If you want to bomb the Philippines, bomb the Philippines. After the bombing of all the Japanese airfields in both places. Even if you bomb Japan directly, there is no problem. ”

Roosevelt was a little moved: "It seems that there is some truth. But it was impossible to bring the Japanese to their knees by bombing alone. We still dispatched ground forces to directly carry out a landing war against Japan.

At present, what the people of the whole country are most afraid of is to occupy one island at a time. However, Japan is also a multi-island country. Our soldiers are now resistant to landing warfare. ”

"Mr. Roosevelt. Why do you want to occupy island by island? The art of war is cloudy. Attack it and save it. You bomb Japan all over first. It would be enough to knock out fifty percent of Japan's war potential.

Then directly send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Tokyo. I don't believe that Tokyo is surrounded by you. The Japanese have not yet withdrawn their troops from all over the world to return reinforcements.

Heard Li Tie answer. Roosevelt was pleasantly surprised: "That's right. Why do you have to occupy one island after another? Wei Wei saved Zhao. Direct attack on Japan. The soldiers of the outlying islands were not yet allowed to return to Japan.

And once the Japanese troops on the outlying islands were withdrawn and returned home. These islands are not self-defeating. Roosevelt's eyes lit up. The generals behind him nodded even more. Everyone praised Li Tie as a world-recognized genius. I can't even think of such an effective method.

And Li Tie, who is a thief, rarely expressed his modesty to the American friends present. Even when Li Tie sent Roosevelt on the plane. He looked at Roosevelt's departing figure and muttered carefully:

I don't know if MacArthur at this time came up with his so-called frog jumping tactic. In case Roosevelt returned to the United States. Let's talk about this tactic. If MacArthur had known that I had plagiarized his tactics. This old boy won't fly to Hainan Island, I'll do it. ”

But when Li Tie looked at the powerful thousand-tailed scorpion around him. Look back at Wang Qi and Li Yuhong, who are also against the sky. Li Tie's waist straightened a lot all of a sudden:

"Sample. If MacArthur dares to come to Hainan to find me a theory. I let people beat him so that his mother didn't even know him. ”

Li Tie's worries were unnecessary. MacArthur would not have come to Hainan to find Li Tie's theory. Because MacArthur at this time was anxious because he could not attack the Philippines repeatedly.

So when he heard this frog-jumping tactic relayed by Roosevelt. He happily slapped his thigh: "Not really." They in the United States have airborne troops. There are also countless transport ships. Why bother fighting the Japanese in the Philippines. Attacking them directly on the island is more relieving.

As long as the emperor is captured alive. I was also afraid that the Japanese troops in these occupied areas would not surrender. Besides. Didn't the Huaxing Guards take over the attack? Now who doesn't know that the offensive ability of the Huaxing Escort Army is very strong.

The most important thing is that Huaxing Group has already laid countless hidden piles in Nanyang countries. The task of recovering the Nanyang States is most suitable for the Huaxing Group.

Wait for the war to end. The Americans can completely come back and snatch the fruits of the victory of the Huaxing Group. Who made Huaxing Group just a private group. And not the state too. ”

Roosevelt and MacArthur's decision could have pitted the Japanese and natives in the Philippines. Because after a year of fighting.

At this time, the Philippines was actually almost beaten by the Americans.

It's just that there are countless local armed forces all over the Philippines who are actually helping the Japanese attack the Americans. This hurt the Americans, who considered themselves liberators. So when the American GIs who attacked the Philippines heard that they could finally evacuate the Philippines and go to Japan. All the American GIs burst into tears of joy.

In their opinion, being able to directly attack Japan is the thing that they really hate for the dead United States. All the Americans quickly withdrew from their positions. Instead, the position was handed over to the Huaxing Second Army, which came to take over the attack.
