Chapter 1080: Dilemma

ps: Something is going on at home, and it's being dealt with......

"Red Deer Yelang~~" A beastly howl sounded among the Japanese troops, and Sugiyama Mototo, with a calm face, asked Chief of Staff Shimizu to tell the people below to stop clamoring.

The knight on the horse smiled disdainfully, and turned to Sugiyama to give them a back. Sugiyama Moto, with a gloomy face, just watched the knight go away, but he didn't say a word.

In fact, he knew better than anyone else that the Japanese expeditionary force did not have an advantage in this battle. On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army did not defeat the Wehrmacht, and the Japanese army was forced to withdraw on the battlefield in Annam.

The current situation is even worse, the current Japanese army has neither troops, firepower and naval superiority on the Chinese battlefield, nor air and sea support on the battlefield of Annam.

The current Japanese expeditionary force against the Soviet Union has completely become a lone army. Under such circumstances, the results of confronting the Wehrmacht, which were armed to the teeth and stronger than the Japanese in terms of strength and combat effectiveness, can be imagined.

Even so, all Sugiyama could do was to fight hard. The Japanese army had no way to retreat, and once it retreated here, the entire expeditionary force would completely collapse.

There was no room for them to retreat, and retreating to Southeast Asia would undoubtedly encounter the Wehrmacht forces that were now picking up the pieces in Southeast Asia. To retreat to the side, then you have to cross the vast Siberian wilderness and face directly with the Wehrmacht's domestic troops.

As a result, they don't have any choice right now. They can only move forward, or be annihilated or survive......

"Buzzing ......" a large plane landed at the airport in China's imperial capital, and Prime Minister Yan Zhengqing smiled as he greeted the plane after the plane came to a standstill.

I saw a smiling British fat man slowly walking down from the plane. The fat man was wearing a trench coat, and although he smiled, the disappointment in his eyes flashed.

"Thank you for coming to greet me personally, Honorable Premier Yan Zhengqing." The fat man put away the disappointment in his eyes and walked heartily towards the tall and thin Yan Zhengqing. stretched out his hand and held Yan Zhengqing tightly.

"Oh~ It's my honor, to be able to welcome His Excellency the Prime Minister of the British Empire has always been a job that makes people feel honored." Yan Zhengqing smiled and shook the hand of this person, who was undoubtedly the current Prime Minister of the British Empire - Winston. Churchill.

"Hahaha...... It's my pleasure too! You are a wonderful statesman, and I am deeply honoured to be complimented and welcomed by you. ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Churchill naturally knew what he should say. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yan Zhengqing invited Churchill to board the car. Heading towards the imperial capital.

"Premier Yan, this time I came here mainly to explain the misunderstanding between our two countries last time. At the same time, we will discuss the current situation in India with the coalition government......"

Since he couldn't see Lin Sen and couldn't see the slaughtering tiger Churchill, he simply regarded Yan Zhengqing as their agent. In fact, this is also true. Yan Zhengqing's identity and position give him a greater say on many issues.

Even if he did not make a clear statement, Churchill could have roughly guessed the attitude of the coalition government from his reply.

"Prime Minister Churchill, in fact, our coalition government has always regarded you and the British Empire as one of our best allies. It is a pity that some officials and parliamentarians of the British Empire do not seem to see it that way. It makes us very sad......"

Let's get down to business. Yan Zhengqing's expression became solemn: "The last incident in the Philippines has actually made most of the committee members in our coalition government extremely angry, and they think that the British Empire, which once valued the agreement, has now regarded the promise of the agreement as a dead letter......

"If that's the case, we can't trust the British Empire." After a pause, Yan Zhengqing looked at Churchill and said: "If we can't even trust each other, then let alone the issue of cooperation......

Churchill's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and he knew that since Yan Zhengqing said so, it showed that the two sides still had room for maneuver. Otherwise, it would not have been Yan Zhengqing who came to greet him.

And at the same time. Yan Zhengqing would not have said these words. Feel free to say that there is no misunderstanding between the two countries and that the Coalition Government and the Wehrmacht will continue to cooperate with the British Empire.

If so. Churchill knew that the Wehrmacht had no intention of continuing to work with him. Some of the words are clear, even if they are ugly, but everyone still knows that there is room for progress.

"Yes, this misunderstanding has seriously hurt the mutual trust between China and the UK. Therefore, the Speaker, who has made his own views without going through our Parliament, has been removed from office. ”

Churchill looked at Yan Zhengqing and said: "Of course, we also know that it is still difficult to restore the mutual trust between our two sides after it has been damaged, so I will come to ......China in person this time."

Yan Zhengqing also understands what Churchill meant, and we have dealt with that brain shortage fool. I'm here to show goodwill, and after all, we're all allies. As long as you are interested, then you can talk!

Yan Zhengqing smiled slightly, he knew that it was quite rare for Churchill to talk about this. The arrogance of the British, Yan Zhengqing has not been untaught.

At that time, he did not go to England at the earliest, but first to the United States. At that time, he was one of the young children in the United States. It wasn't until he returned home and traveled again that he went to England.

But in Britain, he saw the arrogance of a great power. Brits don't accept American English at all, and even if you speak American English, many people don't want to talk to you.

In desperation, Yan Zhengqing had to change his accent again to make his accent sound more London. This is barely getting the squint of the British, you read that right, strabismus.

They didn't even bother to look at a yellow man, at most they would squint at the yellow man who could speak London English with a little interest.

"That's why I'm here to greet you personally. Your Excellency Prime Minister......" Yan Zhengqing said to Churchill with a smile.

As soon as Yan Zhengqing's words came out, Churchill smiled. He understood what Yan Zhengqing meant. The Wehrmacht and the Coalition Government also meant to be in contact with the British Empire.

Of course, this is just contact. As for the continued cooperation between the two sides, that's another story. The British did not show their sincerity. Then this kind of cooperation is just a long way off.

"Chairman Lin Sen was on an inspection tour in the southwest region before, and after hearing the news that you were coming, he rushed back overnight." After a pause, Yan Zhengqing said to Churchill: "Today is a welcome reception, and tomorrow you will be able to meet our Mr. President." ”

Lao Lin actually went to the southwest region to investigate, and he completely asked Yan Zhengqing to come up and test the firepower. By the way, touch Churchill's hole cards.

After these things were figured out, Lin Sen was able to mention some of the prices of the two sides in the formal meeting. Of course, the coalition government's offer is certainly not cheap.

In fact, Churchill himself was prepared for this. Anyway, when he came to China, he didn't think he would be able to dodge this knife. Who told his pig teammate Leng Shengsheng to deliver the handle of the knife to someone?!

Now that people are making an offer, the British Empire can only follow. Bargaining is necessary, but in the end, the British Empire will have to suffer in this if it does not have the upper hand.

"And what about Commander-in-Chief Tu?! Where is he now. Will I be able to see him tomorrow?! In Churchill's view, the Tiger is still in charge of the coalition government.

Although he seems to be unconcerned about the affairs of the coalition government on the surface, in fact, the formation of the coalition government and the composition of the defense force determine the biggest voice in the country.

"Our commander-in-chief is supervising training and preparing to send more troops into the Soviet campaign again, so I don't have time to meet with you......" Yan Zhengqing said with a smile: "And." This time it was a negotiation between the two governments. Commander-in-Chief Tu in order to avoid suspicion. Decided not to participate in this negotiation......"

Churchill pouted, the commander-in-chief did not participate in that is called a ghost. Of course, on the surface he certainly wouldn't say that. He said some interesting things to Yan Zhengqing, and the car had already driven to the joint government office building in the imperial capital.

In the office building, reporters from China, Britain, the United States, France, and other allied countries gathered together, and everyone bustled and waited for the press conference held by the leaders of the two sides. They all want to get a big news so that they can get paid more well.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! At this time, the fighting outside Moscow was still continuing, and the German positions were constantly being shelled by the Soviet army.......

The British and American armies were also constantly attacking the German positions. The battle has been fought until now. The Germans, temporarily deprived of train artillery support, began to go on the defensive.

Because of the wreaking havoc of the Luftwaffe, the US military was forced to send the latest P-51 Mustang fighter jet, which was not fully tested, to the battlefield. And this fighter. To a certain extent, the wreaking havoc of the Luftwaffe was contained.

This led to a sharp reduction in the air pressure on the Allies, and at the same time the Allies were taking advantage of their air superiority, which had just achieved some success, to launch a full-scale counteroffensive against the German positions.

"These damn Yankees! Damn the Soviets! Damn British!! Captain Altman shouted from his position: "Why do these bastards always fail to die?!" Why do you damn bastards have died so many people and are still rushing up?! ”

Captain Altman couldn't remember how many people he had killed, but the blackened corpses on the battlefield were his masterpieces.

Most of these corpses belonged to the Soviet army. There are also British and American ones. After several days of fierce fighting, it seemed that the Allies had never stopped attacking, and they seemed to have an endless number of troops to launch a strong attack on the German positions again and again.

A tank company that came up to support it had three tanks knocked out in less than three charges. Four of the remaining seven were paralyzed, and the last three had no choice but to withdraw from their positions.

And the artillery in the rear, after being counterattacked several times by Allied artillery fire, the losses were not small. Although the Germans had also counterattacked Allied artillery positions, they did not seem to have had any effect.

"Ula~~~" A roar sounded on the position again, and the black crowd rushed towards the position like a tide. Altmann could only fight and roar at the other German soldiers around him with red eyes.

"Quick! Rack up the machine guns and everyone goes into position! Fast!! This happened so many times that the German soldiers quickly grabbed their weapons and entered the shattered tunnels that had been bombed. Then they started shooting at the Soviet troops who were like a tidal wave.

"Dada...... The sound of light and heavy machine guns rang out, and countless Soviet soldiers were tragically knocked to the ground by bullets....... And when the German points of fire were exposed. The Soviets also began a counterattack.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" piles of artillery fire were smashed into the German positions, and Captain Altman smiled bitterly in his heart while dodging the artillery fire.

This had happened too many times, and many of the German soldiers around him had not been killed by bullets. More. It was killed by Soviet artillery fire.

The Soviets do not seem to regard human life as human life, and they constantly use human life to test their firepower. Then draw out all the fire points regardless of their own casualties.

This madness towards the enemy and even more madness to oneself is extremely effective. As soon as the Germans saw the Soviets rushing up, they had to use their machine guns to block them.

And as long as they block it, then the point of fire will be exposed. The Soviets would not give them a chance to retreat, and they were drowned out by a single artillery fire......

Although I know that entering the point of fire is basically equivalent to looking for death. But quite a few German soldiers gritted their teeth and entered the firing point. They know. This is how ruthless he is now compared with the Soviet Union.

Now, whoever is harder on himself will be more likely to win the war.

The Soviets knew this, and they knew that if they didn't remove the German firepower and rush forward, they would only be killed. The Germans also knew. If defensive fire is not placed at the point of fire, then the Soviets will rush up and start a hand-to-hand battle with themselves.

Everyone on the position, from Captain Altman to the lowest private, knew what would happen if the Soviets stormed the position. Therefore, they had to desperately get into the point of fire. Launch a block attack on the Soviet troops.

"Report! Captain Altman. Four of our firing points were destroyed. Three heavy machine guns, one light machine gun destroyed! I would like to ask for urgent support! I repeat it, and I would like urgent support! ”

The radio rush sounded like a congratulatory message from hell, and Altman grabbed the communicator and shouted, "No support! No fire assistance! Nothing! But you must hold your ground! Maybe...... Die there! ”

There was silence on the other end of the communicator, and after a long time, a voice came: "Hey! Hitler!! ”

"Chirp...... Boom Boom Boom ......" under artillery fire, the commander-in-chief of the German Army Group B and the commander-in-chief of Army Group Center Fedor. Feng. Bock's face was gloomy.

He couldn't remember how many days he had been here, and the scales of battle were tilting in favor of the Allies. It turned out that the Japanese were also expected to be able to strike at the Allies from the flank.

Even Bock thought that as long as the Japanese arrived, then the German army's weapons and supplies would be given to the Japanese army. It's not impossible. They don't want them to have any records, as long as they can relieve the pressure on the Germans.

But this gang is useless. It was intercepted again! The Wehrmacht blocked their way, and the piles of Japanese troops could only stay hundreds of kilometers away and sigh.

And the same as Bock's extremely bad mood, there is also Gert. Feng. Marshal Rundstedt.

"What are we going to do now?! Chinese Although they didn't attack us directly, they held us back from the Japanese, leaving us alone with these damned, unslaughtered Allied forces......"

'I don't know what to do, it's not enough to attack us now. These allies don't seem to care about casualties at all, and I even think their purpose is to crucify us here and wait for winter to come......"

Bock put down his binoculars, he had seen this kind of fight he didn't know how many times. Rundstein, on the other hand, sighed: "I didn't know they were going to do this?!" But now we don't have enough troops, and it will be difficult for us to make a breakthrough without the assistance of trains, artillery, and air force......"

"Actually, we can't break through ......," Bock sat down in his chair and said to Rundstein, "I don't know if you found out, they have been attacking us in turns. There are hardly any stops in between......"

Rundstein smiled wryly, that's a fact. The strategic purpose of the Allies was already obvious, that is, to drag the German army into the Soviet winter.

As long as winter comes, most of the German fighters, tanks, artillery and logistics will be paralyzed. After losing these, the Germans, who were inferior in strength, were likely to encounter a major counteroffensive by the Allies, who had a very large majority of troops.

The thought of fighting under that kind of snow and ice makes Rundstein shudder. This was too risky, and in that case the Germans would likely be repulsed or even defeated.

"Where are our train guns?! We need train guns now! A hammer heavy bomb is needed! Rundstein stood up and crossed in a furious manner.

And Bock said with a wry smile: "The FΓΌhrer has ordered the factory to strengthen production, in fact, as long as we support it for more than half a month, we will be able to get the train cannon, and we may even get the support of new fighters......"

"But after half a month, the Soviet Union will already be very cold! At that time, our logistics, the use of our other weapons and equipment will become extremely difficult! ”

Rundstein is a veteran, how can he not see the problem here?! But he sat down helplessly in his chair and said to Bock: "Let's jointly send a telegram to Yuan chayexschayexs!" Now we have to get at least a certain number of mace bombs, otherwise it will be difficult to break through the positions of the Allies......"

"Even if you get it, it's hard to ......" Bock shook his head helplessly, and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Americans' new fighters is gradually increasing, and if there is no air supremacy, then our bombers can only be sent to death in the past......" (to be continued......
