Chapter 1044: The Thunderstorm Comes (Part I)

"It's already clear that the coalition government has given up on the possibility of working with us...... "Gerhardt is not stupid, and as the negotiations have progressed, he has learned what the coalition government really thinks.

But even so, Gerhard and Franz had to continue this pointless negotiation. The reason is simple, Germany needed time to occupy the USSR.

And with the same goal, in fact, there are also people in the coalition government. In the eyes of the coalition government, it was acceptable for the Germans to cripple the Soviet Union as long as it did not completely occupy it.

And now that more than 200,000 Anglo-American troops have entered the Soviet Union, as long as they exist, Germany will not occupy the Soviet Union so easily. In this way, the greater the Soviet Union was consumed by Germany, the more beneficial it would be for the coalition government.

Of course, the Soviet Union could not be completely defeated, otherwise it would be detrimental to the war situation of the entire Allies.

"But we also need to buy time for Germany, we need to win the war in the USSR. This will be the key to the rise of Germany! Gerhard took a deep breath and said, "So, we need to continue to persevere." ”

Hold out until the victory of Germany, or defeat. Gerhardt was not one of the Germans in Germany who only saw Germany's constant victories, but rather saw more clearly than anyone else outside of Germany.

He knew that a large part of the reason for Germany's victory in Europe was due to the internal friction between Britain and France. Other Low Countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium are not united, have limited troops, and have outdated equipment and tactics.

The most important thing is that the general territory of European countries is not large, and Germany may be able to attack the capital of the other side with a single blitzkrieg, and directly break their will to resist.

But the situation is no longer the same, and Germany is now facing the Soviet Union, which has an incomparably vast territory. Tens of millions of square kilometers of land and a population of more than 100 million were all great advantages of the Soviet Union.

In contrast, although Germany has the advantage of weapons and the quality of soldiers, its population is so insignificant compared to the hundreds of millions of people in the Soviet Union.

History in 1941. The USSR used to do demographic counts. At that time, the total population of the entire Soviet Union was 1.8 billion, even though part of the population was lost due to civil war and famine during this time and space.

But the Soviet Union still had a population of more than 100 million, and in some respects it was one of the few countries that could mobilize large numbers of people into the army in a short period of time.

And the remaining ones, one is the current coalition government. One is the United States of America.

The United States has been conducting a national census every ten years since 1790, and as recently as 1940, the population of the United States was 13.2 billion.

In contrast, the most populous is undoubtedly the coalition government. At the time of the war in 1937, according to incomplete statistics, the population at that time was around 400 million.

After the demise of the national government, the coalition government began to integrate all its resources and because the governments of the three eastern provinces at that time introduced a large number of people from famine and famine into the three eastern provinces, on the one hand, a large number of people who might starve to death were accommodated.

Secondly, after the integration of the entire coalition government. The three eastern provinces took out a large amount of grain reserves and began to provide relief to those who were in famine due to the war. At the same time, grain was distributed and agricultural taxes were exempted for several years, in exchange for the rest and recuperation of the peasants of the whole country.

As a direct result of these policies, the birth rate has increased dramatically, and the population has begun to enter a period of growth. Fortunately, the land in the three eastern provinces and Mongolia is really fertile, and the agricultural research field of the Imperial Capital Agricultural College and the Agricultural College of the Three Eastern Provinces has made great progress. The production of grain is constantly increasing.

But because of the war, the coalition government simply did not have the time or energy to calculate how much the population of China as a whole had grown.

The only thing that is certain is. The coalition government is certainly the country with the strongest mobilization capacity and the largest number of reserves among the participating countries, and even if a large number of reserves are mobilized, it will not have much impact on all aspects of production.

In fact, this is one of the biggest reasons why the Axis and the Allies are constantly trying to co-opt coalition governments. The combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht is beyond doubt, and the huge territory and resources, as well as the huge population resources, are all advantages that other countries cannot match.

"Your Excellency Gerhardt, nothing matters to me. As long as it's for Germany! Franz said: "As long as it is necessary for Germany, even if it is a matter of life!" ”

Gerhardt nodded and did not speak, knowing that Franz, who had come from the SS, would not be lacking in loyalty, at least. His only concern was Franz's character. This would be devastating in delaying negotiations.

"It's almost hot, isn't it?!" Lin Sen asked with a smile in his conference room, while Yang Yuting, who was in charge of negotiating with Franz and them, nodded with a smile when he heard this.

"Actually, we and Gerhardt both know that we are stalling for time. What we have to do now is to buy time for Germany to harm the Soviet Union. The difference between us is. We wanted the USSR to be seriously harmed and not fatal. But what Gerhardt hoped for was that Germany would be able to solve the Soviet problem once and for all. ”

"Now it can only be up to us to see which of us can get our wish...... Lin Sen smiled faintly: "Actually, for us, the decision on this matter is not ours." ”

In fact, the decision on this matter really does not lie with the Wehrmacht, but with the Soviets themselves. Meantime. Also in the hands of the British and Americans.

"Another month, we'll see. If they hadn't crippled the Soviet Union by then, we would have had to choose to cooperate with the allies. Lin Sen pondered for a while. "The Germans can afford to drag it, but we can't afford it." The Japanese should solve it. ”

Yang Yuting nodded, now Riji has reached the end of his rope. They originally occupied Southeast Asia, and this side has a huge advantage.

However, because of the huge defeat in the Chinese battlefield, the Wehrmacht then forced its way into Southeast Asia. Later, in order to cooperate with Germany, most of the troops had to be transferred to the Soviet Union.

This also led to an extreme shortage of Japanese troops in Southeast Asia, and in fact the Japanese top brass now had a general sense that they were on the verge of defeat.

However, no one in the entire cabinet and the battalion dared to talk about it.

"At that time, we have already had a meeting with the commander-in-chief, and when it is time to do it, don't hesitate to solve this matter directly." Lin Sen paused and said, "I'm old, I don't know how many days there are." That's what I want. In my lifetime, I will be able to see our Chinese troops set foot on the land of Japan! ”

Yang Yuting's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and nodded. Lin Sendu is 72 years old, an old man who has experienced the end of the Qing Dynasty and has followed the entire Republic of China to the current coalition government, after all, he is old.

Especially in the years when the coalition government was formed, the old man almost exhausted his efforts in order to integrate the forces of all parties, balance the interests of all parties, and ensure the development of the country.

"I will personally talk to the commander-in-chief about this matter. Lin Gong, one more day for you to live is a blessing for our coalition government. Don't talk about life and death lightly......"

"As the saying goes, seventy-four, eighty-six, Hades does not invite himself to go. Man. Where can anyone not die?! When the time comes, you won't be able to leave if you want to......"

Lin Sen smiled open-mindedly and said, "It's really that at that time, none of us can help ourselves. Cao Mengde's "Short Song Xing" once said: For example, the morning dew is a lot of hardship. This is a great goodness ......"

Yang Yuting stopped talking. Nodding, he turned around and left Lin Sen's conference room. If there is a coalition government, the only one who convinces everyone may be this Chairman Lin Sen.

Almost all of them, regardless of their faction or background, have a heartfelt respect for the chairman.

"yes...... The old man's time is running out......" When Yang Yuting conveyed this to Tu Menghu, the tiger's eyes were also a little red.

Lin Sen, Sa Zhenbing, Jia Xiaohou...... Until Yang Yuting and others, isn't this the case?! Heroes are twilighting. If they don't hurry up, maybe they really won't see the day when China will win.

However, Tu Menghu did not answer Yang Yuting directly, but instructed Su Zongzhe to start a comprehensive deduction of the battlefield situation in the Soviet Union, Southeast Asia and other regions.

At the same time, calculating the worst-case scenario that could occur, after assessing the damage of everything, he handed over a report to the chairman of the coalition government, Lin Sen.

"One month, just another month! We're going to unleash all our warriors for a decisive battle! Tu Menghu gave a military salute to the old man. "I promise, you'll definitely be able to see our troops set foot in Tokyo Bay!" ”

At this time, Eisenhower, who was in Moscow, looked at the lazy and lazy American troops and had a headache. It has been too long since the war has been experienced, and the current US military is completely incomparable to the US army that experienced World War I back then.

Some of the older units formed from the Washington era are better. And the newly formed troops are almost in a group of cowboys.

They didn't have the slightest sense of urgency in their training, except for playing in the territory of the Red Empire. Officers who lack experience in warfare. I also don't know how to train and fight.

"If this continues, the only thing I can see is that our troops will be defeated on the battlefield." Eisenhower unabashedly said to his old classmate Patton: "If it were only with the current state, I would not see any hope of victory in our war......"

Patton's face is also ugly, how does he not know the current state of the US military?! However, many commanders are older than them in terms of qualifications and qualifications, and many times Eisenhower, the theater commander, ordered these veterans not to be moved.

Even if they promised to be good on the surface, they still went their own way behind the scenes. Such officers are not one or two, but a large area of existence.

"Otherwise, Ike, let's ask General Marshall to remove these people!" Barton's temper couldn't stand the miasma, and he suggested it directly to his old classmates.

"No...... My old classmate, General Marshall, had withstood tremendous pressure to appoint me commander of the theater. Even now, there are still many people who are suspicious of me......"

Barton couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and in fact even he was no different. In the Pearl Harbor attack, Marshall removed a large number of heavy generals in the U.S. military.

This greatly improved the execution, combat capability and training volume of the US military, but at the same time, it also offended a large number of veterans. Even now, the criticism of Marshall in the U.S. military has never stopped.

As generals valued and promoted by Marshall, they naturally became a thorn in the side of those US veterans. As a result, Patton's and Eisenhower's orders were difficult to carry out thoroughly in the U.S. military......

"The Germans are coming, are we just watching them send those soldiers to hell?!" Barton became extremely irritable, and he was not a good-natured man.

Faced with the dilemma of choosing the best, his temper became more irritable.

"I remember the Tiger once telling me that war is the best teacher. He will use the most intense and direct way to tell those who are self-righteous and arrogant. What are the consequences of not following his rules? ”

Eisenhower smiled faintly and said, "They may not be willing to carry out the training we have requested, but if they bury our soldiers on the battlefield, then I will shoot them with my own hands to make an example!" ”

When Eisenhower said this, Patton's heart shuddered! He probably guessed what Eisenhower had in mind, and he would pick a suitable time for the most piercing generals to go to the battlefield to fight the Germans.

Since you think that the training we are asking for is not correct, then you will show us a victory in your own way. If not, then anyone can foresee what awaits these people.

"Ike. Are you sure you want to do this?! You should know that if we do that, we will incur unforeseen losses. Especially those stupid old stubborn ones, who will send those American soldiers to hell......"

Barton was silent for a moment, and then said, "And, most seriously, if we do this, then we ourselves are likely to face severe punishment from a court-martial......"

"I'd rather be punished by a court-martial. These bastards who will send all of America to hell must also be kicked out of the army. With a sneer on his face, Eisenhower said, "I have always recorded their execution of orders. When the time comes, I'll let you put aside those German units that they can't defeat. ”

"I'm going to tell everyone with the facts that it's not that we're doing it wrong. It's that their roots are not suitable to stay in the army! Eisenhower took a deep breath and said, "Since they don't want to believe it, let the facts tell them what the war is like now!" ”

Patton wanted to say something. But looking at Eisenhower's face, he could only sigh helplessly. He knew that his old classmate, if he decided something, then no matter who persuaded him, it would not have any effect.

Now all he can do is pray that the self-righteous idiots don't lose too much......

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ...... "Smolensk Oblast, where German armored groups are storming. Smolensk. It is the only way to Moscow.

If the Germans were to complete the Battle of Moscow according to their plan, they would have to take Smolensk. Apparently the Soviets knew this as well, and Tukhachevsky concentrated most of his forces for use.

In Smolensk, Tukhachevsky built a large number of permanent fortifications, supplemented by large-caliber anti-aircraft guns that had just arrived in the Soviet Union, to deal with German tanks.

Due to the scattered firepower, the German troops on the periphery were constantly peeled away. As a result, the Germans had to stop and repair constantly during the offensive. The roads had been destroyed by the Soviets, and many German roads were ambushed by mines or partisans.

Tukhachevsky used his forces to the extreme. The aim was to delay the German offensive.

"How is Moscow preparing?!" Tukhachevsky lowered his binoculars and asked the adjutant beside him. The adjutant solemnly opened his folder and took out the information to answer.

"Chairman Trotsky was already personally supervising the construction of the fortifications, and most of the members of the Supreme Council of the Soviets were withdrawn. The U.S. and British have entered the intended area, and they will help us defend Moscow together......"

"Chairman Trotsky demanded that we must hold the Germans for half a month so that the last fortifications could be built. Otherwise, the defense of Moscow will be difficult to sustain in the face of German bombardment and shelling......"

Tukhachevsky put down his binoculars and said nothing, and now no one knows the situation on the battlefield better than him. The German offensive almost tore apart the Soviet positions with the speed of the wind.

If it weren't for Tukhachevsky's ingenuity and the use of a large number of harassment tactics, the Germans might have reached the city of Moscow by now.

Even now that the Germans are being dragged here, Tukhachevsky knows in his heart that this is only temporary. In the end, the Germans were able to break through the Soviet positions and go to Moscow to attack.

"How's our losses going?!" After a moment of silence, Tukhachevsky asked his adjutant without looking back.

"The losses are huge...... German bombers and heavy artillery, as well as tank armored clusters, were very damaging to our troops. If it weren't for the recent shipment of flat-firing guns, I don't think we would have been able to support the front......"

Answer Tukhachevsky. Not his adjutant. Rather, it was his chief of staff. The chief of staff walked into the observation room and said to Tukhachevsky with a wry smile.

"I was a little surprised by the Kremlin's order, didn't he see the German offensive?! If we hold on on to the battlefield, we will only gain defeat. The rout of the whole army, or the direct annihilation of the ......"

Tukhachevsky did not reply, he stubbornly raised his telescope and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.

On the positions of the Soviet troops, a fierce white-knuckle battle has already begun. The sapper shovels supported by the Americans were extremely powerful in white-knuckle warfare, and the German bayonets were not at all as good as the sapper shovels.

A large number of German troops stared incredulously, and were chopped to the ground by Soviet sappers. But the Soviets were no better. The heavy firepower of the German army found that it could not take advantage of the white-knuckle battle, and immediately after its own personnel withdrew, they launched a full-scale strafing fire on the Soviet troops.

The roar of the "Tutu Tu ......" heavy machine gun resounded through the position, and a large number of Soviet soldiers were directly torn into corpses all over the ground by the large-caliber machine gun before they even had time to scream.

The German tank units immediately covered the infantry and rushed to the positions, and began to carry out a comprehensive clearing of the fortifications on these positions one by one.

Tukhachevsky slowly lowered his binoculars and closed his eyes in agony. He didn't know what to say. The huge gap in equipment made the Soviet army have no ability to resist in the face of the German army.

Many people know about the Great Patriotic War in the USSR. Many people also know about the earth-shattering war between the Soviet Union and Germany. But what more people don't know is what the Soviet Union paid for this.

The casualties of the Soviet army in the Soviet-German war have always been an unsolvable mystery. It was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union many years later that a Russian military expert, Boris Wadimovich, Sokolov, consulted a large number of secret archives and materials, and came to a general conclusion.

In the entire Soviet-German war, the Soviet Union directly suffered losses of nearly 43 million! And this number, the error before and after will not be higher than five million.

Other words. At least about 40 million people died on the battlefield in the Soviet Union in this war. This figure is seven times more than the number of German casualties - 6.5 million!

And now, the situation in the USSR is worse than in history. It is because they have suffered more losses than they have historically come. The war has been going on ever since. The losses announced by the USSR exceeded 300,000.

As Tukhachevsky, as the direct commander, only he and a small number of members of the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union knew that in fact the Soviet Union had now lost more than 1.3 million troops.

More than half a million people can be confirmed dead and more than half a million prisoners. The rest may have deserted directly in the rout, or they did not die on the battlefield but did not know in which unknown corner.

"We don't have a choice. Or fight to the death to give the Soviets victory. Or die on the battlefield, enjoying the glory of a bullet and watching the Soviet flag fall from the sky......"

Tukhachevsky finally spoke. His voice sounded a little hoarse.

"Fight! Or to survive on the battlefield and continue to fight for the sake of the Soviets. Or win the bullets of the German army on the battlefield and shed your own blood for the Soviets! ”

With that, Tukhachevsky again raised his binoculars and looked at the battlefield. A regiment of Soviet troops, already under the orders of the division commander, rushed towards the position with a shout of a red flag with a sickle and ax.

They just faced the German tanks, heavy machine guns and German soldiers, and without flinching, they roared "Ulla~" and rushed towards the German army.

"Free republics form an unbreakable union

Great Russia unites forever!

Building ...... in the struggle with the will of the people"

Suddenly, Tukhachevsky sang the national anthem of the USSR loudly. At the beginning of the founding of the former Soviet Union, "The Internationale" was the national anthem of the Soviet Union. But then, in the early thirties, the Soviet Union changed its national anthem to this "Unbreakable Union" after discussion.

During Stalin's reign in the Soviets, the anthem was altered to imbue with a lot of personality cult of Stalin. But when the Soviets merged subsequently, Stalin offered to change the personality cult rhetoric in the song.

After several revisions, "Unbreakable Alliance" became the new national anthem of the Soviet Union.

"The sun of freedom through the storm inspires us!

He leads the people because of justice! ”

Time. Everyone in the entire forward command tunnel shouted the song loudly. It seemed that there was endless courage in this song, and the song passed through the clouds, through the roar of guns and cannons to the front of the position.

"For her fluttering scarlet flag! We will always stand faithfully and selflessly! For her fluttering bright red flag, we will always stand loyal and selfless!! ”

The Soviet troops charging on the position suddenly roared with the song, and they were no longer roaring "Ula" but the song "Unbreakable Alliance".

Under the singing, the Soviets rushed to the position and began to roar and kill the Germans on the position. And those Soviet troops who were crushed in the fortifications and could not get out also roared and rushed out with the national anthem of the Soviet Union.

Tukhachevsky put down his binoculars, he couldn't bear to look at the desperate fighting of those Soviet troops on the battlefield. Because he knows that in terms of actual effect, this kind of combat is almost equal to zero.

"Boom!!" A German tank was detonated by Soviet troops. Flying steel shards slammed the crowd around them into screams. The German tanks also seemed to be frightened and began to slowly approach the infantry.

"For the Soviets!!" The courage of the Soviets was encouraged by this, and they rushed towards the Germans with a roar. This battle lasted from the afternoon to the evening.

Finally, the Germans, having paid three tanks and still not taking their positions, retreated. They chose to stop the offensive for the time being. Perhaps it was this madness of the Soviet army that made them feel uneasy.

Or maybe it's after they think they should fix it. Then think about how to attack the positions of the Soviet troops. In short, they did not attack again......

"The three integrated regiments were directly gone, and the other division suffered more than half of the casualties. More than fifty of the anti-aircraft guns that suppressed the German tanks were destroyed, and thirty were barely usable......"

"We have only three bases left in our reserves, especially the most depleting ......," the chief of staff reported to Tukhachevsky on today's operations.

He has done this kind of debriefing countless times, from the previous heartache to the current numbness. He couldn't tell what he was feeling.

The losses of the Soviet troops were too great, so large that they were shocking.

"Keep playing tomorrow. Don't stop. We have to buy time for Comrade Trotsky, and we have to buy time for those allies......" Tukhachevsky quietly listened to the report of the chief of staff, and only gave the order to continue the battle.

"Comrade Tukhachevsky, what I want to tell you is: if at this rate of attrition and the intensity of the war at this rate. We will be out of troops for a maximum of a week. Maybe even in just three days, our ammunition will be exhausted......" The chief of staff slowly closed the clip and said, "When the time comes, how will we fight?!" ”

"There are no soldiers. Then the officers went up to fight. If the officers are all killed, the generals go up and fight. Tukhachevsky said so plainly. It's like talking about something as trivial as what to eat tonight.

"The shells are out, and we still have machine guns. The machine gun is out of ammunition, we still have the rifle. All the bullets and shells were gone. We still have sapper shovels in our hands, and at worst we have bayonets in our hands...... In short, as long as we want to fight, then there is always a way to fight. ”

"Are we going to fight the German tanks with bayonets and sapper shovels?!" The chief of staff was silent for a moment, his voice trembling a little.

"Why not?!" Tukhachevsky smiled and said, "The sapper shovel will at least allow us to dig a trap and trap the tanks in to capture them." It's not something impossible. ”

The chief of staff froze for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly and was speechless.

"Go ahead! Tell our Soviet fighters that perhaps we will die namelessly. But on the banner of the Soviets, we can always see our shadow......"

At this time, Montgomery, a suburb of Moscow, was digging fortifications with the newly formed units of the British army. Montgomery didn't put on a general's stand, and he didn't have anything special.

He wielded a sapper shovel and dug through the dirt, just like the other British soldiers around him. The trenches were dug very quickly, and in three or two clicks they had reached a depth of one person.

In the fortifications not far from them, a cannon was placed in it. Ammunition and grenades were placed in one ammunition pit after another, and machine guns were carried into the firing points.

Fighter planes were constantly circling in the sky. The Anglo-American coalition forces that had come from Canada had finally begun to move. They built a defensive line along Moscow, trying to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop in the Battle of Moscow, which was launched by the Germans.

At the very least, they want to give people hope for the victory of the allies.

"Keep it up! Lads, the Germans are coming soon! When the time comes, let's send them back to hell together! "Montgomery continued to dig fortifications and at the same time to boost morale.

That was the only thing he could do now, and the recruits who had been drafted in Canada were clearly more energetic than the soldiers who had been defeated from the British. They shouted loudly to the shouts of the commander, and struggled to dig the fortifications under their feet.

Like the British, there are also American troops who are building fortifications. It's just that the U.S. military doesn't seem to care about these fortifications. Just dig a little and put some sandbags on the bunker or make some bunkers and you're done.

"These Brits have broken their guts, haven't they?! Fortifications dug can be used as anti-tank trenches, if you are so timid then don't go to war......"

Several American generals were judging the British fortifications from their own positions, and in their opinion, the British were asking for their own hardships.

Although both the Soviet and British reports showed the great power of German artillery and bombs, the generals simply thought that this was nothing more than a pretext they had come up with to shirk their responsibilities.

"Our little Commander Icke. Yesterday also praised the Montgomery for his fortifications. It seems that they have something in common! An American major general sneered and said, "Maybe there can always be common topics between the generals of the defeated army and the generals of the defeated army." ”

"That's it! Don't say too much about these words, or it will always cause trouble if it gets out. The other major general frowned and said, "Little Ike is our commander after all, if we don't want to be troubled by Marshall, we have something to say." ”

"Little Ike" was their dismissive term for Eisenhower, and they used it to express their displeasure with the commander. In their opinion. Eisenhower's best qualifications were only to fight the Japanese on the battlefields of Asia.

But is that just the way to be promoted to their immediate boss?! And there was one thing they didn't say, but they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts.

That was the list that Marshall provided to Roosevelt after Pearl Harbor for a list of those who should be retired from active duty, and this list resulted in a large number of their comrades being forced to retire from active duty.

This made them have to give birth to a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. As a result, although they did not say anything on the surface, they hated Marshall and the generals he promoted in their hearts.

"That's it! There was no point in saying more, and when the Germans called, we asked little Ike to take a good look at us to see if we were really old. The major general stroked his gray hair and sighed: "By the way, let the president see that the United States still needs our people to protect." And not those kids. ”

In the drizzle. After participating in the coalition government's ceremony, Tu Sanpao quietly returned to the front line in Annam. At this time, almost all the parts of Annam occupied by the Wehrmacht had been cleaned up by his troops and the General Staff.

A large number of non-pro-Chinese generals were sent to the battlefield. "Sacrificed" in sporadic battles with the Japanese army. But their families were well arranged, and they were sent to China, where they were financed by the Annan coalition government to study in China.

"How's it going?! Don't tell us what you're doing to get noticed by the gangs. Tu Sancang returned to his headquarters, hung up his raincoat and said directly.

And the Dragon Rope Ancestor in front of him smiled and said, "Where can it?!" The commander-in-chief's orders, we are doing our best! If this can be detected by the little devils, then it will be amazing! ”

Tu Sanpao smiled and turned around and patted Long Rope Ancestor's head, but Long Rope Ancestor was extremely deferential. It's very simple, when he was studying in the Wehrmacht, he didn't follow this master to fight in the fire.

"How's the preparation going over there?!" Pao Ye asked with a smile again, while Long Rope Ancestor put away his smile and replied solemnly: "The South China Theater has now been prepared, and they have trained the team enough for this round battle. If you hadn't been busy in the Imperial Capital, their petition would have been delivered to you......"

"Hmm...... Not bad! Say hello to the devils tomorrow and give them two base shells. Tell the that they're back. Tu Sanpao waved his hand with a smile and said, "Otherwise, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for too long, I'm afraid they will rust." ”

"Two base shells...... "Long Rope Ancestor's face turned green when he heard this, this bad money is not so bad, right?!

"You little king and eight calves know a fart! We're going to have a big operation, so let's bomb a few more times to cause them some casualties. The second is to test the firepower, and the third is to paralyze them......"

Tu Sanpao seemed to see what Long Rope Ancestor was thinking, and slapped him on the back of the head and scolded with a smile: "You think that your family master is foolish and spends money, it's all worth it." If we fight, our brothers will die a lot less. ”

Seeing that Master Pao had explained it to him, the Dragon Rope Ancestor turned around with a smile and went down to give the order. And the adjutant who was following the cannon master saw that the dragon rope ancestor was gone, and said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, are you cultivating this kid?!" ”

"Sort of, he gave up military power without saying a word. Since then, I have been working hard to benefit the people of Yunnan Province, and I am teaching his son something to do, which is nothing. ”

Master Pao didn't deny it, Da Ma Jindao sat on the chair and said: "His father is a character, and this kid can be regarded as an old man I brought out from the Korean battlefield." If you practice, you may not be able to use it in the future. ”

And in the Philippines, Malaysia, Java...... and other Southeast Asian places, groups of people continue to gather in the manor for secret meetings. At the same time, the rate of reported weapons damage in various localities has gradually increased.

Maeda, the captain of the garrison in the Philippines, has sensed that something is wrong recently, and it seems that the damage rate of the weapon is a little too high. But at the same time, Maeda felt that this was the way it should be.

Recently, the guerrillas of the US military have resumed their activities, attacking several strongholds and towns. caused some casualties among the local army and the Japanese army.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Japanese army, Maeda sent local troops to "suppress bandits". These Southeast Asian imperial allies can't go to the Chinese battlefield, but the words of suppressing bandits still work.

These people fought hard against the guerrillas left behind by the US army several times, and suffered some losses but also achieved a lot of results. Killed three to five hundred guerrillas. This made Maeda very satisfied.

"Your Excellency, I always feel that something seems wrong with this......" Captain Mishima frowned and said, "Many of the guerrillas who were killed looked like peasants on the ground. The root is not like a guerrilla ......"

"Mishima, you're overthinking. These people are developed. Hearing this, Maeda smiled and said, "Most of the guerrillas left behind by the Americans have been wiped out by us. A small part of it has long been hidden. ”

"If they don't attract these peasants, they won't be able to organize manpower to fight us." Maeda paused and said, "And the guerrillas who can defeat these Imperial Cooperative Army can imagine how effective they are." So, I have the slightest doubt about the organization of these partisans......"

Maeda patted the arm of his chair and said with a smile: "As for those Filipinos, if they dare to think anything, our guns are not to be put on the look." All it takes is a telegram for the Navy's warplanes to sweep them away with their families! I'm sure they'll make the right choice......"

"How much ammunition do we have in stock now?!" Unfortunately, the big families that Maeda thought would make the right choice came together.

"There are 200,000 rounds, and the excuse of 'suppressing bandits' is very useful! These Japanese people knew that we were fighting bandits, and they were very happy to allocate weapons and ammunition, and soon we were able to arm ourselves. With the troops under our control, more than 10,000 people are enough to wipe out those Japanese......"
