Chapter 553: Advancing into Okinawa
readx;?European Theater. The Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the Allied Army has achieved good results. Three million Anglo-American troops combined with three million bandit troops. It can be regarded as encircling Germany from both sides of the east and west.
Seeing that it has been surrounded by Allied and bandit troops. The whole of Germany is already in mourning. Now you don't need to be promoted. The whole of Germany was aware of the possibility of Germany's eventual defeat.
Hitler at this time was already insane. He couldn't listen to any of the words he had made. He will fight the Allies to the end. He wanted to drag the whole of Germany to the destruction of the world together.
Because at this time, although Germany's defeat was certain. But the strength is still there. If Germany is determined to fight to the death with the Allies. In the end, even if Germany was defeated. The Allies also had to pay the price of at least a few million casualties.
Although Britain and the United States have made mental preparations to pay heavy casualties. But when the huge casualty figures are really in front of us. Both Britain and the United States have flinched a little.
Allied forces led by the two countries. began to contact Li Tie frequently. It was hoped that Li Tie's bandit army would be the first to attack in the east of Germany. And finally fired the first shot against Germany.
Li Tie is not stupid. In the previous life, there was Russia, a big resentful leader, who defeated Germany at any cost in order to take revenge. This life is different. Russia has already crippled Li Tie.
Now in response to the famine in Russia. It is also to cope with the various ethnic independence movements that have risen and fallen in the territory. Stalin simply had no time for revenge. If he can stabilize the situation in Russia in more than ten years, it is already a matter of burning incense.
And in order to deplete the strength of Russia. Li Tiecai will not let Russia maintain a stable life. He would covertly support independence forces in Russia. Let Russia never stop. For a country. Civil strife is always the most draining of a country's national strength.
Seeing that Li Tie was not keen on attacking Germany. Even if the allies promised Li Tie a lot of preferential conditions. Including the actual occupation rights of Southeast Asian countries and the Russian region of Sibersilly were also assigned to Li Tie. Li Tie was still unmoved.
In desperation. The Allies began a propaganda offensive against Germany. Persuade the German people to abandon Hitler, the war criminal. As long as the Germans surrendered. And handed over Hitler and dozens of important war criminals. The Allies promised to take Germany lightly.
But under Hitler's iron-blooded rule. Even if the German people wanted to surrender. It also depends on whether Hitler gives them this opportunity.
Hitler, of course, knew that it was time for the last stand. So while he is implementing a high-pressure policy against the people at home. Simply order all German troops to return to German territory.
And at the time of returning to Germany. With that comes a wealth and strategic resources. Countless young Europeans were coerced back to Germany by the defeated army.
At the same time, it is also to reduce the pressure on the people in the country. Hitler sent his right-hand men to take the initiative to assault the Allies and bandits. It's just that the allies and bandits are well prepared. The Germans were not given a chance to fight back.
And the Allies also rushed to digest the newly liberated European battlefield. So the fighting of both sides on the German border. And didn't go all out.
On the contrary, the troops on both sides acted like masters. In each other's tentative attacks. Everyone is testing each other's depths. Look for the flaws in the other party. In order to hit with one blow. As a result, the two sides fell into a long-term situation of small-scale fighting and killing.
Just when the battlefields of Europe were still in full swing. Pacific Theater. After half a year of hard fighting. The Huaxing Second Army finally fully occupied the Philippines.
Japan lost the Philippines, the most important resource area. The war has become even more difficult. This also makes Japan even more crazy. Those who resist are becoming more and more motivated.
Now Japan has begun to vigorously promote the cruelty of the US military throughout the country. The purpose is to intimidate the Japanese people. We want the people to make up their minds to fight the Americans to the end.
As an island nation. Once the people have made up their minds to die. The whole Japanese nation has become extremely crazy. At this time, men and women, young and old, joined the operation to support the front.
Said this year. The Japanese people even have a pot at home. Bowl. Dipper. Basin. In short, all the articles made of iron were donated. In order to allow the Japanese troops fighting on the front line to have one more gun. I can have an extra bayonet.
And every Japanese soldier on the front line when he received new weapons and equipment. will receive a letter from home from the Japanese people in the rear.
The letters were always filled with a desire for victory in the war. Encouraged by this, the Japanese soldiers became more fearless of death. Almost every single one of them will fight until the last moment. No one will surrender.
Such a crazy Japanese army naturally inflicted even greater casualties on the American army.
So it's the end of the same four or four years. When the U.S. military bombed indiscriminately after nearly half a year. When he thought he had wiped out the Japanese troops on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. No sooner had they set foot on Iwo Jima than they were frantically counterattacked by Japanese troops hiding in caves deep underground.
The result is expected to be five days of fighting. I fought for two months. It took a full 100,000 casualties for the U.S. military to finally occupy neighboring Iwo Jima. Such large casualties made the American army want to cry without tears.
However, the U.S. military, which was already riding a tiger, had no choice. Because at this time, the Huaxing Second Army had completely occupied the Philippines. Now that I am ready, I will be able to participate in the battle to attack Japan.
Huaxing Group has shone in the European theater. Looking at the near future. When the bandits attack Germany were likely, they would have advanced the Allies into Berlin.
If Huaxing Group is allowed to attack Japan first. Then where to put the face of their allies. How will the people in China view the beauty ** people?
Therefore, MacArthur, who was determined to take revenge, would never surrender the great achievement of leading troops into Japan to the Huaxing clique. So under the strong impetus of MacArthur. After occupying Iwo Jima, the United States attacked Okinawa with all its might.
In order to be able to occupy Okinawa as soon as possible. Not only did the U.S. military use all the warships and aircraft it could use. In addition, the two most elite airborne divisions of the US army were also thrown into the battle to attack Okinawa.
Due to the coordinated operation of the US navy, land and air force. The United States occupied all the ports of Okinawa in the first place. Then the GIs rushed into the island.
Three whole days. The U.S. military did not encounter any organized resistance. Such an easy occupation overjoyed the American army. They also thought that the tragic battle of Iwo Jima had shattered the resistance of the Japanese army.
If you can occupy every Japanese island, it will be as easy as Okinawa. Then it won't take more than two months. They the United States would be able to completely occupy Japan. The Emperor of Japan has been captured alive.
It's a pity that everything in front of me is fake. Ushijima Mitsuka, commander of the 32nd Japanese Army on Okinawa Island, was one of the most capable commanders of the Japanese Army.
And in order to be able to vigorously fight the US military on Okinawa. Under the operation of Li Tie and Nanzao Yunzi. The Japanese military headquarters did not transfer the Ninth Division, which had the strongest combat effectiveness of the 32nd Group Army, to Taiwan.
More important due to the knowledge of the American Sea. The strength of the air force and the army. At the behest of Nanzao Yunzi. Ushijima still uses the plan used in his previous life to lure the enemy into depth. Introduce most of the US military into the interior of Okinawa. to reduce the fire support of the U.S. fleet for the U.S. forces entering the island.
And the island of Okinawa in this life. The strength of the Japanese army is not only fifty percent more than in the previous life. Even weapons. Ammunition and various types of special stockpiles are far larger than in previous lives.
So when 200,000 U.S. troops just let their guard down on the island of Okinawa. When preparing for a tourist-style occupation. I saw that nearly 150,000 Japanese troops suddenly poured out of various hidden caves in the interior of Okinawa.
In the forces are almost the same. In the case of similar weapons. At this time, the Japanese Army was recognized as the most combat-ready unit in the world. Especially when these Japanese troops have no way to retreat. Under the cruelty of the great feudal ideology of patriotism and pro-monarchy. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army completely exploded.
The corresponding 200,000 U.S. troops who entered the island were out of luck.
