The so-called Atlantic Charter is a thing that Roosevelt and Churchill concocted, which is divided into eight articles, the most important of which is to declare that the two countries will not pursue territorial or other expansion, will not recognize the territorial changes caused by fascism through aggression, respect the right of the peoples of all countries to choose their form of government, restore the sovereignty of the peoples who have been violently deprived of it, and completely eliminate fascism, and so on.

Churchill proposed the Atlantic Charter at this time, the meaning is very clear, that is, he does not want China to take the opportunity to annex India, and Britain has already suffered a lot at the hands of Qiao Yu, starting from northern Burma, Britain has to retreat, and the colonial order is almost collapsing.

For example, after World War II, the Soviet Union greatly advanced its borders to the west, while the United States brought the strategic points in the Pacific occupied by Japan into its control.

In the final analysis, it still depends on strength, as long as there is enough strength, what is not yours is yours. Gu Weijun also knew that Churchill's warning was very weak, and what China wanted to do was definitely not something Britain could prevent.

"Mr. Prime Minister, China respects the spirit of the Atlantic Charter very much, and should be fair and reasonable in handling international issues, and must respect history and reality!"

Churchill was so sensitive that he naturally heard the two most crucial words in Gu Weijun's words, that is, history! This so-called history is definitely not the history of British colonization of India, but the long history of the whole of East Asia, where China is the suzerainty of the surrounding small countries, and those small countries are naturally China's sphere of influence.

Gu Weijun's meaning is also quite clear, that is, to restore China's former system of supplying vassals, Churchill has the intention to oppose it, but he can't find any good reason for a while, you must know that Britain still has to rely on China's help. At the beginning of the war, China sold four anti-submarine aircraft carriers to the British. These aircraft carriers have made great achievements with their superior performance. Britain is still counting on importing more weapons from China, and it is obviously not a good thing to provoke China at this time.

The so-called Washington Conference was a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, but secretly it was an intrigue between countries, and even more so between allies.

There is no direct conflict of interest between China and the United States. But Roosevelt was also worried that China would be overly inflated, especially since the United States was not ready for war, and if China quickly seized land with its strong military forces at this time, the United States would have nothing to stop it.

On the one hand, Roosevelt emphasized the need for the allies to work together. To avoid China's action too fast, while stepping up the deployment of troops, a large number of supplies to Australia.

In Washington, the countries finally signed a declaration of the United Nations, which made it clear that all countries would use all their strength to deal with the fascist forces, and that no country would make peace with the fascists alone.

Just after the adoption of the United Nations Declaration, China's long-brewing offensive had begun, and the Chinese top brass had made countless deductions on how to fight this war, and finally everyone agreed on an important principle, that is, to avoid a large-scale war of attrition.

A war of attrition is not just about consuming war materials. At the same time, it is also consuming human lives, even if it is a victory. It is inevitable that the gains outweigh the losses, so the Chinese side has placed great emphasis on using absolutely superior forces to make a rapid surprise attack as soon as possible, and to achieve a quick victory without delay.

South Korea was the first battlefield for China to practice this theory, when China and Japan redivided the Korean Peninsula, and each side supported the Democratic Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea, and now one of these two countries is on the side of China and the other is on the side of Japan, and the fate of the entire peninsula is in the hands of others, and the North Koreans are very dissatisfied, but what is the use of this dissatisfaction!

China has concentrated forty divisions, more than 1,500 fighters, and more than 2,000 tanks in Korea. At the same time, the reserve strength of fifteen divisions was also hoarded in the northeast region, and with the addition of thirteen Korean divisions, the strength under Shi Yi's direct command exceeded one million.

With so many troops and weapons deployed on the small Korean Peninsula, China's intention could not be more obvious, that is, to sweep away the Japanese forces in one fell swoop with absolute force, and Shi Yi, as the supreme commander in this regard, has been gearing up and waiting for the order to attack.

Although he has been in charge of the army for many years, Shi Yi still can't help but be a little excited at this time, this is different from the previous skirmishes, this is a world war in the real sense, it is a stage that any officer dreams of, if he succeeds, he will be famous all over the world, and if he loses, he will become the laughing stock of the world, and no one can ignore it.

While he was anxiously waiting, the base camp adopted the battle plan he had personally formulated, and the land war between China and Japan officially broke out.

It was the air force that started this war, and a full 500 bombers, escorted by many fighters, took off from various airfields and quickly flew to the Japanese military airfields on the side of the Republic of Korea.

The commander of the Japanese side was General Shunroku Hata, and he was one of the few sober people on the Japanese side, and he knew very well that fighting against such a huge object as China would undoubtedly be a grasshopper shaking a tree, and besides, Japan was even more ignorant of whether it was alive or dead if it challenged the United States and Britain and other powerful countries at the same time.

Despite the fact that Japan has occupied a huge territory, the momentum is very amazing, but Shunroku Hata knows that once the war machine of China and the United States is fully mobilized, the result for Japan will be very dangerous. However, as a stubborn Japanese soldier, Shunroku Hata did not want to surrender and give up at this time, but wanted to fight to the death.

For the Korean defense line Hata Shunroku is very attentive, North Korea has a narrow territory, many mountains, lack of strategic depth, for the defense side is actually very disadvantageous, so Hata Shunliu has always advocated that once the war starts, Japan should act decisively, concentrate a large number of superior forces, quickly attack north, and push the defense line to the Yalu River, so as to be able to occupy the advantage.

At the same time, it can also destroy the bases of Chinese long-range bombers and reduce China's harassment of the Japanese mainland, but the main Japanese forces are placed in the Pacific theater, and there is no time to concentrate forces, so Japan can only take a defensive position in the direction of the Korean Peninsula.

Shunroku Hata has always been very contemptuous of the strategic vision of the base camp, and those people can't even see that Shina is the most dangerous enemy of the empire, but there are some things that he can not decide, and Shunroku Hata can only do his best to do his part and build the Korean defense line into an iron bottom of the copper gang.

"General, the planes of the Chinese have invaded in a big way!" A staff officer reported the situation to Shunroku Hata in a panic, and Shunroku Hata glanced coldly at the staff officer who still had beads of sweat on his head and said coldly: "What's so strange, we are on the battlefield, and it is not normal for the people of China not to attack." ”

"General, this time the situation is a little different, the air force of the people of China seems to be in full swing, and the scale is unprecedented, and the airfields on the border line have been attacked!"

Shunroku Hata also took a quick look at the information at this time, and then he hurriedly walked to the front of the combat map, took a closer look, and then said: "This is the prelude to the large-scale attack of the Chinese people, and you immediately sent an order to me, asking the whole army to be ready for battle and respond to the land offensive of the Chinese people at any time!" ”

After Shunroku Hata gave the order, the entire headquarters was busy, the Japanese soldiers on the border line moved into combat positions, and all the planes were lifted into the air to intercept the Chinese bombers as much as possible.

Around the 38th parallel, the fighters of China and Japan have come and gone, killing a mess, China's planes have a double advantage in quality and quantity, and at the same time China's pilots are also elite, which Japan cannot compare, as soon as they fight, the Chinese Air Force has the upper hand, and a large number of Japanese planes are like dumplings, shot down to the ground.

Airports, highways, railways, warehouses, and factories were all taken care of, and in one night, the Chinese Air Force dropped more than 20,000 tons of napalm near the demarcation line, and the flames illuminated the entire battle line, and the Japanese military facilities were taken care of at the first time, and 24 airfields were caught in flames, and the Japanese lost more than 300 fighters, most of which were destroyed on the airfields before they could take off.

In addition, the port of Incheon was also heavily attacked, an important port that was responsible for the blood transfusion of the front-line defenders, and a center for stockpiling supplies, with thousands of bombers visiting the port, sinking all the freighters docked in the port, and all the cargo warehouses on the shore were set on fire.

Before the bombing was over, the Chinese artillery had already begun to bombard the Japanese army fiercely, the artillery was known as the god of war, China this time concentrated 2,000 artillery pieces together to bombard the Japanese defense line, at this time it was still dawn, the eastern sky had not yet brightened, and the western sky was dyed fiery red by the light emitted by the artillery fire.

Heavy artillery shells fell on the heads of the Japanese army, and the fortifications were destroyed in large quantities, this time China used a large number of rocket artillery, and the ultra-high rate of fire made the shells like hailstones, splitting the head and covering the face, and immediately stunned the Japanese.

They would never be so arrogant in an island country with scarce resources, not to mention the shells, even the bullets are very stingy, where have I seen this kind of pure artillery shell tilt in 10,000 tons as a unit of measurement. The ground shook and the sound of violent explosions sounded like an earthquake, and even the most ferocious Japanese could not help but be a little frightened.

By the end of the three-hour bombardment, most of the surface fortifications of the Japanese positions had been cleared, and the real offensive began, with Chinese heavy tanks roaring towards the Japanese positions, and more than 500 behemoths galloping freely.

The military demarcation line between China and Japan reached more than 200 kilometers, but Shi Yi chose the direction of the main attack in the direction closest to Seoul, without concealing it at all, without hesitation at all, this sudden attack made the Japanese a little confused, and they even wondered if the Chinese had any conspiracy, knowing that the Chinese are experts in tricks.

Shunroku Hata also had some suspicions, and at the time of this suspicion, the Chinese army had already broken through the Japanese defense line and began to crush in depth. (To be continued.) )
