Chapter 593: Heavy Hammer

After the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Jiang Li deliberately cooled down the northern battlefield that had been fiercely fighting, and because the group in the theater was responsible for the current changes, Jiang Li was also able to withdraw. It was also at this time that Shouichi Terauchi, who had been transferred to the command of the Southern Army, commanded more than 400,000 elite Japanese troops to attack Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma in separate routes.

The biggest threat in Southeast Asia is the nearly 80,000-strong US-Philippine coalition force in the Philippines, where there is the largest infantry group and aviation in Southeast Asia.

It's just that at this time, the aircraft equipped by the US military was relatively old-fashioned, and it was not at all the opponent of the Japanese army's cutting-edge fighter Zero. The Japanese Navy once again fought a classic surprise attack, destroying more than half of the heavy bombers and one-third of the fighters of the US army in one fell swoop. The rest are not only far inferior to the Japanese Navy in terms of quantity, but also in terms of the performance of aircraft, especially fighters, they are even more pressed by the Zero. The strength of the Japanese army once forced MacArthur, the commander of the US-Philippine forces, to leave Australia with his wife and governess, handing over the command of the army to Major General Wainwright.

The near-rapid progress in Southeast Asia made the Japanese navy hesitate. The rapid progress of the Japanese navy and army not only boosted the morale of the Japanese people, but also terrified the Allied forces in Java. It was also the first time that these usually arrogant whites were frightened in front of the yellow-skinned soldiers, and they had already been a little frightened before they fought.

Before the end of the year, the Japanese army captured the long-coveted oil fields of the Dutch East Indies, and after less than 90 days of fighting, they defeated more than 90,000 Allied forces and captured nearly 80,000 prisoners.

Not only that, but the Japanese also captured the Borneo oil fields, which were relatively undamaged, and obtained nearly 1.6 million tons of oil stored by the Allies there. The acquisition of this batch of oil made the Japanese army feel like a chicken, and the consumption of the previous battle was made up for in the acquisition of this battle.

At this time, the Japanese army completely played its own rhythm, and the Japanese naval aviation dominated the skies over Southeast Asia. The first part of the Combined Fleet went directly to the Indian Ocean, sinking the British aircraft carrier Hercules, the battleship Prince of Wales, and the cruiser Counterattack. Air strikes on Sri Lanka inflicted heavy damage on the British Far East Fleet and pressed the British Navy to the west of the Indian Ocean.

In the movies and television of later generations, although the Japanese army was scandalized in every way, in the time and space of history, the Japanese army did fight all over East Asia and Southeast Asia. If it weren't for the fatal lack of its own national strength, the combat effectiveness exerted from the only armament had indeed reached the point where the Allies were frightened at this time, and it also defeated the prestige of the Japanese army.

"At present, our army has prepared 1.1 combat ammunition in the Central Plains Theater and 1.6 combat ammunition in the Suiyuan Theater. The Shanxi Theater also has 0.8 battle shares. The maintenance work of the air fleets has been preliminarily completed. In addition, 370,000 recruits have completed the first phase of training in several recruit training camps in Luoyang, Deyang, Lanzhou, and Xi'an, and the first batch of 80,000 recruits will be able to be replenished from various units next month at the earliest. The Northwest Army is at its peak, the ammunition is sufficient, and today is the most, and the hearts of all troops are also quite eager, Commander, it's time to do it. ”

At the same time that the Central Army of the Chiang Department entered Burma to fight in Burma at the invitation of Britain and the United States, and fought with the Japanese army in a sea of corpses and blood, Ma Zhanshan made a report to Jiang Li and eagerly asked for battle.

"Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we have grown from a remnant army in Mukden to a large corps with more than 2 million troops, equipped with various technical arms, and integrating air and ground. Ten years of sharpening a sword, in the past few years, this sword has also been almost sharpened, since this is the case, it is time for the counterattack to begin. Old Ma, you say, when will we be able to fight back to Fengtian? Jiang Li looked at the distant and gray northern sky, and suddenly turned around and asked Ma Zhanshan with a smile.

"Five years? Six years, or maybe more. Ma Zhanshan pondered for a while and replied, the current battle is different from before, it used to be a defensive war, now it is an offensive war, the resilience of the Japanese army, the Northwest Army has seen it in recent years, even if it relies on a very simple position, it can be held to the death, in the defensive battle before, the casualty ratio of the two sides is gradually getting closer, but the defender has to take advantage of it congenitally.

The same was true of the Japanese defense's turn. At the beginning, the Japanese army fought all the way because the Northwest Army was still relatively weak a few years ago, even if there were now 2 million hundreds of thousands of people on the books, but like the Japanese army, it was filled with a large number of new troops, and it was the old blood that could really be the head of the fist team in the past few years. In the Guannai alone, there are 1 million and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army lying outside the Guan, even if it is Ma Zhanshan, there are some selective ignorance of the shortcomings of the Japanese army in resources, after all, in the past few years, the power of the Japanese army can indeed deter some people.

"Three years! For more than three years, I can't beat Mukden, I'll screw off my head and kick you as a ball! ”

Jiang Li laughed, and only now did a mouthful of depression in his chest erupt, most people only saw the strength of the Japanese army, but soon, the Northwest Army will show its hideous and sharp side to the world.

"We don't have the guts to kick the commander's head as a ball." At the door, Gao Zhihang pulled the door and walked in, his mouth was joking, but his face was excited, Jiang Li rarely promised in public, but every time he promised, he didn't succeed once.

"Okay, without further ado, after a few months of rest, it's time to start work again, and let's carry out the hammer operation plan." Jiang Li said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Commander!" Gao Zhihang gave a military salute on the ground, which was more solemn than usual, and this military salute was also the first fierce counterattack launched by the Japanese army from the northwest to the Japanese army after the Japanese army swept through Southeast Asia

Wuhan wharf, a warship quietly displayed the port, and above the port, from time to time, there were groups of Japanese soldiers patrolling in a neat queue. Although the tonnage of the warships moored at the Wuhan dock is not high, this is already an invincible surface force in the waters of the Yangtze River for thousands of miles.

"Celebrate the Empire's acquisition of the Baltic Oil Fields!"

"Celebrate the Empire's defeat of the Allied forces, capture more than 80,000 Allied troops, and solve the Empire's oil crisis once and for all!"

"The military fortune is long, and the empire is prosperous!"

At this time, on the streets of Wuhan, there were people from the Pacification Office, as well as Japanese people and businessmen wearing kimonos. The Japanese soldiers in military uniforms were all singing and dancing, sharing thousands of miles to the south, and it seemed to be a great victory for the Japanese army that could change the fortunes of the country. In just a few years, the land and resources controlled by the Japanese army reached the highest peak in the history of the Japanese nation, and such glory was born in their hands. Although the battle between land and sea is still serious, such a victory is enough to rewrite the history of Japan, and the resources and population that have plagued the Japanese army will gradually be changed because of this victory.

"God bless the Empire, it seems that the Emperor's brilliance will surely shine on the hundreds of millions of people in the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." Yang Kui, director of the Wuhan appeasement, said flatteringly to the Japanese lieutenant general next to him.

"Well, the Yamato nation is the best and most persevering nation in the world, and it has always been, only limited by resources. Now that the last difficulty has been lifted, one day, the British and American ghost animals will be able to trample under the feet of the yellow race, and the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle will soon complete the final link. You will always be the most loyal friend of the Empire, and the Empire will not treat you as a meritorious man at that time. Yokoyama patted Yang on the shoulder and walked forward with a laugh.

"Second uncle, it seems that this Japanese is really going to win the world." While Isamu Yokoyama was laughing and laughing with a group of Japanese military figures in front of him, another young man whispered beside Yang Yuyi.

"It should be, this Japanese is really powerful, I can't think that the British and Americans who were arrogant before are not their opponents. After you go back this time, you will reorganize your troops, fight a few beautiful battles in western Hubei, annihilate a few guerrillas, and show your face in front of these Japanese troops who are above the top. The world is going to change, do it well, let's do it from the dragon! Yang said in a low voice.

"I'm afraid that it may not be, the Japanese are so strong, and they haven't been able to defeat Shonan yet, isn't the Northwest Army still holding on? Why don't we wait and see for a while? The young man whispered.

"Shut up, let the Japanese listen to it?" Yang Kui said with a fierce face.

"Okay, okay, second uncle, you have the final say." The young man's neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to refute it anymore, and besides, it was indeed a big trouble for the Japanese to listen to it on such an occasion now. The young man's attention shifted quickly, and soon his gaze wandered to the Japanese women in kimonos and fancy clothes on the street. Although these Japanese women were not more beautiful than the Chinese people at this time, the Japanese who were superior to others in the eyes of young people seemed to be covered with a layer of nobility. It is also attracting young people more and more.

"Dog traitor, little devil, grandpa fought with you!" Just as these Japanese were celebrating, and those traitors who were flattering in their bones were jubilant, a middle-aged man in a rotten jacket with a sloppy beard took out a boning knife from his arms and rushed at a Japanese soldier who was maintaining order next to him, and the sharp knife stabbed him in the stomach without stopping.

Amid the screams of the Japanese soldiers killing pigs, the middle-aged man drew his knife and brought out a large amount of blood. screamed and rushed towards the young man surnamed Yang. Those eyes were a little redder than blood.

"Bang bang" a few sparse gunshots, and the Japanese soldiers who reacted directly shot a few shots, and the scorching bullets passed through the middle-aged man's body.

The blood stains brought out by the bullet hole seemed to drain the strength of the middle-aged man's whole body, and the middle-aged man angrily threw the sharp knife in his hand at the young man surnamed Yang, a traitor, sometimes more hated than a devil, and a scourge to the people, sometimes even worse than a devil. The middle-aged man's family was ruined by this young man surnamed Yang, who was born with a good skin, but was despicable and vicious.

Yes! When the young man surnamed Yang saw this bloody scene, his legs and stomach trembled a little, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, so frightened that he sat on the cold ground.

The handle of the sharp knife hit the face of the young man surnamed Yang, smashing out a green bag, but it was not fatal, at most it hurt people for a while. The middle-aged man's face was full of pity, and he fell down in pain.

"Yaga! Drag this man down, chop it up and feed it to the wolfdogs! Block the streets, all the people of China must be searched, and if there are comrades, they will be killed! "In broad daylight, under the rule of the Japanese army, there were still soldiers who were attacked and killed, especially in front of so many big people, which made the Japanese officers in charge of law and order in this area very faceless.

The middle-aged man lay in a pool of blood and convulsed, several bullets did not hit the fatal place, and he could not die for a moment. Looking at the sky with blank eyes, what kind of sin has this thief world created, to destroy people and destroy people, and countless wives and wives are scattered! Seeing that the middle-aged man still had a breath, the two Japanese soldiers smiled and dragged the middle-aged man's arm, and wanted to drag it away, so that the wolf dog could bite this hateful Chinese man alive, and they would be even more relieved.

However, the eyes of the middle-aged man who were originally dead gray bloomed with an inexplicable look, his eyes looked straight at the sky, and the clouds that gradually drifted over, it seemed that before death summoned him, the severe pain made his eyes much better than usual, and he could vaguely see the blue sky and white sky and red signs between the fluttering clouds.

Cluster! That's right, it's a group of planes, how long has it been, since the Battle of Wuhan, except for the Japanese planes taking off and landing at the airport, there has never been such a number of fleets appearing, and the fine small black dots can give people a heartfelt deterrent.

As for the aircraft, during the Battle of Wuhan, the Wuhan people who experienced an unknown number of air battles, as well as the young man surnamed Yang, are by no means strangers, but such a large number of aircraft is really rare, and the appearance of this dark cloud has obviously brought panic to the Japanese army.

A dark cloud drifted in the distance. It doesn't seem to be a lot of them, but it gives people a sense of oppression that covers the sky and the sun.

The 106 Kunpeng series of bombardments are two-thirds of the capital accumulated by the Northwest Air Force in the past few years since the Kunpeng bombardment was manufactured. The cost of the Kunpeng bombardment is more than twice as high as that of the take-off dragon and the Tenglong. If it were just more than a hundred ordinary fighters, there would be no such visual impact, but the size of the Kunpeng bombardment was much larger than that of ordinary fighters, and the movement caused by the four high-horsepower engines of an airplane was connected, which also cast a dark cloud over the heads of the Japanese troops in the entire three towns of Wuhan.

"It's been too long since there has been a plane from our Republic of China in the sky over Wuhan, and being comfortable for too long will really make people's vigilance lower. The little devil did not send a reconnaissance plane or take off a fighter plane, and now he wants to fly, and it depends on whether we sign or not. The first and second echelons descended to the height, the second echelon bombed the airfield, and the third echelon remained above. After the bombing of the airport, let's bomb the dock again. Dong Jiyun coldly ordered. The Japanese army's weak air defense awareness in Wuhan enabled this large air formation to successfully reach the skies over Wuhan without encountering resistance.
