Chapter 1062: Crisis

War is so realistic, so cruel. War is a test of a country's strength, economy, potential, and even the overall strength of the entire country.

Obviously, Annan could not accept such a test. Don't be that Annan is not a normal country now, even if Annan has already established a country, Nguyen Thu Ong does not think that Annan is qualified to compete with such a powerful country as the coalition government.

The reason is simple, Annan does not have such strength. A vast land, a deep historical heritage and that indomitable will. This is what Annan lacks. At the same time, it is not something that one country can have overnight.

"Qiang, although I don't like it. But for the rise of Annam, I am willing to join hands with you......" Seeing the indomitable Wehrmacht soldiers constantly fighting with the Japanese army, Nguyen Thu Ong was silent for a long time before confronting Qiang.

"I'm sure you can see that the Wehrmacht doesn't care what we think. We are simply too weak for them. The only thing we can rely on now is both of us, and only when we unite can Annan have a future......"

Ruan Qiuweng's words were made by feeling, and Emperor Baoda didn't actually resist much. More often than not, he is relieved to be a puppet.

That is, the Wehrmacht prefers such a figure as Baoda. And if such a character is in power in Annan, then all he can do is get drunk and dream of death.

It is not a blessing for Annan that such a figure became the leader of Annan. If Annan wants to have a future, then she needs people who are willing to fight for her. Obviously, Baoda is not such a person.

"I'd like to work with you, but what I need is for me to be in charge, not you." It's not that Qiang Zheng doesn't know about this situation, and it is true that Qiang Zheng has his own ambitions.

But Qiang Zheng has never forgotten his own wish, that is, to make Annan a strong country. And such a wish, he chose to implement it himself after he couldn't see hope in Baoda.

Qiang Zheng once sank. I was also deceived by power. But when he saw the shouting and fighting of a strong country and a big country, the heart of a strong country that was once far away from him returned to him again.

"To be honest, I don't agree with your claims. In my opinion, this is too much of a flash. Qiang Zheng looked at Ruan Thu Weng and said bluntly: "I prefer to believe that the Europe and the United States that have succeeded, and the capitalism they implement may be more suitable for Annan." ”

Nguyen Thu Ong didn't squeak, the Soviet Union did not rise as it was in history, which made their organization not have much confidence when talking about these things. In the end, it is true that Europe and the United States, which have implemented capitalism, are more successful examples.

In Asia, Japan, which had been the most successful in implementing capitalism, has now been replaced by China. The achievements of the coalition government. It's hard for other countries to replicate.

In fact, when Nguyen Thu Weng was alone, he kept sighing why there was never a figure like the Tiger of the Far East in Annan?! If such a figure exists, perhaps Annan has already gotten rid of the embarrassing status of a colony and stepped into the ranks of powerful countries.

But alas, the Tiger of the Far East appeared in China. Therefore, now China is a paradise of colonies and strife from once great powers. It has become a powerful force that even Europe and the United States need to pay attention to.

Under the leadership of that tiger, they completed the basic construction of the national defense industry in the shortest time and in the fastest way. Won in several of the most critical wars.

They are now standing on the huge stage of the world, and their dazzling light has even blinded Britain and the United States. Qiang Zheng and others have already received the news that the speaker of the British House of Lords has resigned because of "inappropriate remarks".

Everyone knows what this so-called "inappropriate remarks" are. This is the Speaker's once-life-and-death contact with the short-lived Philippine government, and after the collapse of this government, the speaker's political career has come to an end.

He chose to resign. to offset this huge diplomatic blunder. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is actively working to visit China, and he needs to explain all this to the tiger himself.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble!! "The battle in the sky continued, and countless warplanes continued to circle and fight, and then were shot down tragically. And in it. Gao Zhihang's fighter painted with red stars was the most dazzling.

Countless Wehrmacht warhawks always couldn't help but feel excited when they saw this fighter. This is the spirit of the Wehrmacht, and all the senior officers are fighting from the front.

Even a staff officer is likely to have been the captain of a front-line death squad. It's these people. It supported the backbone of the entire Wehrmacht. And the inheritance of this spirit comes from the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, who has rarely spoken.

When he was a company commander. He once led his troops to fight on the battlefield regardless of life and death. When he was a regiment commander, he still didn't care about leading his comrades-in-arms to roar on the battlefield.

Even if he has become a military commander, or even a regimental commander, he is still the same. The Kwantung Army, who was bleeding in the Northeast, and the Japanese who were lying on the streets of Berlin Manors and Washington, D.C., all proved this with their lives.

It is this spirit of the Commander-in-Chief that has shaped the spirit of the Wehrmacht now. They worship the strong and love the strong. They believe that a strong man can lead an army and shape it with his own spirit.

"We're going to lose...... Sugiyama said in a trembling voice as he put down his telescope in pain at the forward observation post. The chief of staff beside him did not speak.

Because he also saw that now the Third Air Force of the Japanese Army does not have an advantage. Obviously, the Wehrmacht's air force still has a certain advantage in combat skills and fighter performance.

And these advantages caused huge losses to the Japanese army. The army aviation unit suffered great losses during this period of fighting. And this time, all the troops dispatched were the last elite units of the Third Air Army.

Even the staff officers in the headquarters were forced to fly fighter jets into battle. Once defeated in this war, it will mean that the entire Third Air Force will be in name only.

"Order the troops, leaving two divisions to garrison the locality. The rest of the troops withdrew with me to Samut Prakan. Prepare to withdraw on all fronts......" Sugiyama Mototo sighed, it was obvious that the Japanese army had completely lost its advantage in the South Asian theater.

What should be done now is to maintain the military strength of the Southern Army as much as possible. And not to go head-to-head with the Wehrmacht on the position.

"Could it be...... Are we just giving up?! The chief of staff of the Southern Army, Kuroda Shigetoku, trembled and said to Sugiyama Motomoto: "Marshal! I'm not reconciled......"

"I'm also unwilling, but there's no way to do it...... Sugiyama Mototo, "We don't have a choice right now." Either we will be annihilated by the Wehrmacht in attrition, or we will withdraw to other areas to ensure our strength. After receiving supplies from the Air Force, restore combat effectiveness and continue to fight......"

Kuroda didn't say much, he knew it was the best option right now. If it does not retreat, then the Southern Army will probably face complete annihilation.

The Wehrmacht's strong combat effectiveness is a situation that every Japanese army is now well aware of. If you resist hard, anyone can think of it.

"Go and give orders, we live to fight better for the Empire. If we die now, then the last elite of the empire will only be consumed on this battlefield in vain......"

In fact. Sugiyama was also unwilling. He could not accept that China, which was once poor, could give birth to such a powerful army. Japan experienced the Meiji Restoration, and even the struggles of subsequent generations of Japanese soldiers contributed to the prosperity of Japan today.

Why?! What kind of country can complete such a drastic transformation in a few years?! Sugiyama couldn't accept this fact, but at the same time he had to admit it.

Because he knew that countless Japanese generals had died on the battlefields of China because they ignored this fact. Thereinto. Including former Japanese generals such as Shouichi Terauchi and Shunroku Hatata.

They all fell on the battlefield in China.

Finally, after taking a look at the Japanese fighter Sugiyama Moto, who had lost the ability to continue fighting and was being chased by the Wehrmacht, he chose to leave. He couldn't bear to look any further.

At this time, the air battle in Thanh Hoa had also been decided. The Japanese Navy's continuous dispatch of fighter planes did not change the overall situation of the war.

Although the losses were huge, the Japanese army had fulfilled its strategic purpose. They succeeded in covering most of Yamashita Bongwen's troops to the port of Thanh Hoa.

The Wehrmacht planes temporarily stopped the Japanese attack, but they did not have more fuel and combat power to prevent the Japanese from transporting troops onto the ships.

"That's all there is to it. The Air Force has done its best......" Seeing the troops of Fengwen under the mountain boarding the warship one after another, Long Shenzu could only sigh.

The Air Force did not gain an advantage, and if it attacked rashly, it would only be exposed to the firepower of the Japanese Army and Navy. In this case, he can only choose to remain silent.

Watching Yamashita Fengwen's troops board the warships one after another and evacuate.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. Thank you very much for your support of this operation! Much appreciated! After boarding the warship, the first thing Yamashita did was to ask to see the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto.

Yamamoto Isoroku received him as one of the strongest generals in the army. Yamamoto Isoroku admired this general who used blitzkrieg to the extreme.

"Yamashita. You're welcome. I greatly appreciate your performance in the Malayan campaign. Despite the fact that you are in the Army. But that doesn't stop me from appreciating a good soldier. ”

As he spoke, Yamamoto paused, "But I want you to remember that we are not going to war this time because of you or the army. The reason why we are at war is for the sake of the Empire. ”

"The current situation can no longer allow the power of the empire to continue to be consumed in the internal friction of the naval and land armies. If this continues, the only thing that awaits the empire is defeat. I will do my best to assist you in order to win. ”

As he spoke, Yamamoto suddenly stood up and looked at Yamashita Fengwen and said very seriously: "But I also hope that you can do your duty." For the Empire, win the battle on land! ”

"I don't dare to say that I will definitely win, Yamashita can only guarantee to do his best!" Yamashita Fengwen bowed deeply to Yamamoto Fifty-six and said, "Yamashita Fengwen swears that if there is no victory, he will be buried on the battlefield!" ”

At this time, Manila.

Jensen looked at the intelligence and was worried, the information coming from Annam showed that a large part of the Japanese army had now been successfully picked up by the navy. In other words, it will not be long before these Japanese troops will appear on the battlefield in the Philippines.

"According to our information, at least 50,000 or more Japanese Army units will be involved in the operation. And their commander was Yamashita Bongfumi, who had commanded the Malayan campaign. In other words, we are facing a more mature 'Malay Tiger' that has gone through many wars. ”

Jensen wasn't hiding anything. He said to the officers at all levels of the current Nanyang Army Division: "We will face an extremely difficult war. There is no doubt that we have received limited support in this campaign. It can even be said that there is no support at all. Everything depends on our Nanyang Army Division. ”

"The General Command has already called, and the Southeast Asian theater of operations cannot take care of us until a complete victory has been achieved. And even if the Southeast Asian theater is victorious, they will not be able to provide effective support to us without the assistance of a strong navy......"

Everyone was silent, and now the number of Wehrmacht veterans in the Nanyang Military Division is more than 13,000. These were the elite of the Wehrmacht, but they didn't get much heavy weapons support for secrecy at the time.

That is, they are now extremely lacking, including large-caliber artillery. And this is extremely fatal for combat units. In particular, it was necessary to face the forces that would fight the landing operation.

The Japanese fleet was supported by large-caliber naval guns, and the caliber of their naval guns exceeded the smallest. In this case. There is no heavy artillery garrison of the Wehrmacht Nanyang Army Division.

"Hehehe...... On the battlefield in Jinan back then, it was much more difficult than this. It's not like we haven't fought, aren't we just little?! No matter how awesome they are, they can still make people fly down with cannonballs directly from the sky?! ”

Speaking, this is Tu Shaohua. He was one of the few who followed Tu Menghu out of the Jinan battlefield. And now he is still one of the officers of the regimental commander.

Because this kid really doesn't have the talent to become a commander, his greatest achievement is to be a regiment commander. No matter how many troops there are, he will command the command to come.

But because this veteran who is less than thirty years old, but has incomparably seniority, Jensen does not dare to slack off.

"Lao Tu, in the end, these swords should not be underestimated. That Yamashita Fengwen arrived in Malaya in the first battle, and more than 100,000 British troops were captured, which even affected the later war in India......"

Jensen looked at Tu Shaohua. "So, we need to pay enough attention to this person. ”

"Commander, I know. I'll just say that, and I won't underestimate it! Tu Shaohua saw Jensen so serious. His expression became serious.

"What I want to say is that even if he is *** three-headed and six-armed, we have the knife to kill him with three heads and six arms. Malay Tiger?! Hmph, I don't think anyone is qualified to call it a 'tiger' except for our commander! ”

Ever since the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, Tu Menghu, was called the "Tiger of the Far East," the entire Wehrmacht felt that the word "tiger" should naturally belong to its commander-in-chief.

Suddenly, I heard that a Japanese koko was also called a "tiger". Although everyone didn't say it, there was a sense of anger in their hearts. Why do you call "Tiger"?! It's almost the same as calling a cat and a dog, called "tiger"?! Are you worthy?!

"Took his dog's teeth. Break his paws. I want to see what he calls a tiger! Tu Shaohua snorted coldly: "The knife has been worn out, and I will finally see the enemy coming." How can you not be happy?! ”

Tu Shaohua's words made the generals present relax a lot, and everyone smiled slightly, and their originally tense hearts were relieved at this time. Indeed, isn't it just a bunch of Japanese?!

Back then, in the Northeast land, in North Korea and in China, we killed less people?! Even if the equipment is more powerful, in the end it is just a chicken and a dog to himself.

Will they still be able to fly into the sky?!

At this time, Jensen briefly understood the reason why Tu Shaohua did this, if the Japanese army pressed the border, if as the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Army Division, he was panicked all day long, so how could the people below not worry? !

On the one hand, Tu Shaohua is comforting himself, and on the other hand, he is also reassuring himself.

"What Lao Tu said is that these gangs are just dumplings in the final analysis. Can they still fly into the sky?! Even if it flies up, we can pull these dumplings down! ”

"Hahaha......" The commander-in-chief's relaxed tone reassured everyone a lot. After all, he is now the commander-in-chief, if he has no confidence in the battle, let alone these officers below.

"Let the people from the local intelligence department assist us in continuing to recruit and strengthen training! At that time, we can abandon our positions along the coastline first, and then surprise when the Japanese army lands! ”

This was the strategy drawn up by the staff before, after all, the Japanese army had the support of large-caliber naval guns. If a position is set up directly on the coastline, it will undoubtedly only become a target for the Japanese army's large-caliber naval guns.

Jensen wouldn't do such a stupid thing, he set up a position on the beach. The purpose was to attract Japanese naval artillery fire, and when the Japanese army landed for operations, the troops of the Nanyang Army Division would go to those false positions from the rear.

As long as the troops of both sides were strangled together, then the Japanese naval artillery would lose its power. Only then will the Wehrmacht be able to gain an advantage on the battlefield.

Of course, such an arrangement is not without loopholes. If the Wehrmacht did not withstand the Japanese attack, then the Japanese would most likely choose to bombard the rear positions with large-caliber naval guns, while constantly replenishing their forces to occupy the forward positions.

Once the Japanese army is given a foothold on the tidal flats, then the Philippines, which is already short of troops, will be in danger......
