After Mussolini was ousted from power and imprisoned, Hitler did not want to lose this straw bale ally, so he sent out a paratrooper unit in the hope of rescuing him. However, Mussolini in this time and space was not as lucky as in history, when the German rescuers came, they happened to be seen by the Italian guards, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

Most of the Italian guards were killed, and the Germans managed to escape with Mussolini from the villa where he was imprisoned, but then Italian reinforcements arrived, and in the course of the battle, Mussolini was killed, and Mussolini, one of the three main culprits of World War II, ended his life.

After hearing the news on the radio, Emperor Hirohito suddenly had trouble sleeping and fidgeting. He had always had a very uneasy premonition in his mind that he too would follow in Mussolini's footsteps and be killed by the Allies, like a bedbug. He was even more afraid of being court-martial by the Allies, and then he would be like a zoo beast, disgraced in front of everyone. These terrible thoughts tormented Hirohito, and he summoned Prime Minister Koiso Kuniaki for several days, hoping that he would come up with a feasible plan.

Since Koiso Kuniaki came to power, the biggest move he has made is suicide attacks, but all the special attack teams of the land, sea and air force have achieved the expected results of turning the tide, and the allies are still advancing steadily. Hirohito tried to remove the incompetent prime minister several times, but looking around Japan, there was no one to replace him.

In the original history, it was Suzuki Kantaro who succeeded Koiso Kuniaki, but at this time Suzuki had been captured by the Allies and was gnawing in the prisoner of war camp. Therefore, Koiso Kuniaki can only barely make ends meet.

Just when the Allies were besieging Osaka. The Japanese army received another fatal blow. That's the surrender of the Osaka Division!

The so-called Osaka Division is the oldest division in Japan, well-equipped, and has four wings under its jurisdiction, which is measured by data. This force is definitely one of the most elite forces in Japan, but this is far from the case.

This Osaka Division was called the first abandoned division of the Imperial Army, and in the original historical time and space, as long as there was an Osaka Division, it was all out of the West. Even a battle that can be won will greatly boost the morale of the Chinese army because of their appearance, so that defeat will turn into victory.

Although the Osaka Division, which has been defeated repeatedly, has the reputation of being a waster, this division is also the luckiest member of all the Japanese armies, and in the brutal battle, other Japanese elite divisions have been wiped out, but only the Osaka Division has been well preserved.

The main reason for this is that Osaka is a very commercial city, and all the soldiers are traders, and they lack enough reverence for the emperor and the Japanese government who continue to oppress them. These people prefer to be calculating and are not willing to make unnecessary sacrifices. As a result, this unit became an outlier among all Japanese armies.

When the Chinese and American allies launched an attack on Osaka, the Japanese high command decided to send the Osaka Division to garrison their homeland, and these people were unwilling to fight to the death elsewhere. It's not like you don't even want to guard your hometown!

In particular, the Japanese government was even more excited by the example of the Kumamoto Division's entire army shattering the entire army in Kumamoto and not retreating, so it widely adopted the strategy of defending the local area by locals, hoping that the Japanese soldiers would fight to the death in order to protect their hometowns. This strategy worked well, and most of the Japanese soldiers in the city fought desperately, adding a lot of casualties to the Allies, but in Osaka, this method did not work.

The people of Osaka had already calculated that Japan had no chance of victory, and that they had chosen to fight to the death with the Allies not to protect their homeland, but to destroy it, and they did not want to burn it like Kumamoto.

Therefore, in private, the citizens of Osaka elected their own representatives, secretly contacted the Allied forces, and expressed their willingness to help the Allied forces fight, of course, there is only one precondition, that is, the Allied forces should protect the lives and property of the citizens of Osaka as much as possible. In addition, after the surrender of the Osaka Division, they must also be treated as prisoners of war, and they cannot be used as laborers at will.

This situation can be said to be the first time since the Allied landing, and the Japanese generally give the impression that the Allied forces are very stubborn and crazy, and how can they surrender before the war starts, so some people even suspect that this is a fraudulent surrender.

However, the matter reached Qiao Yu's ears, and Qiao Yu immediately ordered Liu Xiang, asking him to agree to Osaka's request, and to ensure the lives and property of Osaka people as much as possible. Qiao Yu did this just to set an example, so that other stupid Japanese people could see a glimmer of hope to live, as long as they didn't go all the way with the Japanese government, they could survive.

Of course, Liu Xiang did not dare to slack off, and immediately agreed to the request of the Osaka deputies, and also promised to give the people of Osaka a certain amount of humanitarian aid, including food and medicine, which were the things that Japan most urgently needed.

During the Allied landing operations, more than 3 million Japanese were killed, but more than 10 million Japanese died of hunger and plague during this period.

Now that the Allies had promised to provide Osaka with food, the Osaka people who were born as traders could no longer resist the temptation, so the Osaka Division and the citizens of Osaka immediately launched an uprising, took control of the city's key points, and surrendered to the Allies.

The Chinese and American troops immediately drove to the city of Osaka, and the soldiers took the gateway to Tokyo without bloodshed, and the most laughable thing for the Allies was the second day after entering Osaka, and soon the soldiers of the Osaka Division ran to the front of the Allied barracks to peddle all kinds of souvenirs, including exquisite sabers, medals, various trinkets and other things used by the Japanese army.

It is unacceptable that there is such a strange army in a fanatical Japan, but it does exist. In the eyes of the Japanese government, the actions of the Osaka Division were absolutely shameless betrayals and the most intolerable thing.

This also produced a serious chain reaction, with shaking in various parts of Japan, and the Allied forces also taking the opportunity to send out propaganda that the enemies of the Allied forces were the Japanese government and militarists, and that ordinary Japanese people could be reborn as long as they could distinguish between right and wrong and take the initiative to abandon the Japanese government.

This propaganda was still very effective, and the Japanese will to resist was constantly crumbling, and the Allied forces were advancing faster and faster, and they were getting closer and closer to Tokyo.

At this time, a brutal confrontation was also taking place on the other side of the world, and the Allied army of millions launched a counteroffensive under the cover of naval and air forces, and a large number of Allied soldiers appeared on the beaches of Normandy.

The Allies divided a total of five landing fields, with China giving Omaha Beach and the United States and Britain occupying two beaches each. China's selected troops are elite forces that have stood the test of war, and many of them have participated in the landing on Kyushu Island, and are very experienced in super-large-scale amphibious landing operations.

However, the harsh sea conditions in Western Europe still caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese army, and while crossing the English Channel, a landing ship was overturned by the waves, and more than 20 soldiers died. Approaching the beach, three more landing craft touched mines.

And all the way to the voyage, these soldiers are tossed all the meat, listless, cold sea water makes these soldiers shiver, fortunately, most of the Chinese soldiers are the descendants of fishermen, since childhood, the sea is very good, so there is no large-scale seasickness, this is much better than the American soldiers.

Before the landing ships could reach the beach, they were under heavy German artillery fire, and the rain of bullets and shells greatly suppressed the advance of the Chinese army, but these tenacious fighters managed to land on Omaha Beach and transported the first batch of heavy weapons to the beach.

More than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles formed a shock arrow, and they braved heavy German artillery fire, broke through the German defenses, and finally won a wide enough landing ground for the follow-up troops. Immediately after that, a large number of soldiers continued to set foot on the soil of Europe, and follow-up equipment also arrived one after another, and the Chinese army finally succeeded in gaining a firm foothold.

This is the second time that the Chinese army has set foot on the soil of Western Europe, in World War I, the Chinese army actually played the role of cannon fodder to a large extent, but by World War II, China's status has changed dramatically, and it is one of the real forces that dominate the world.

The Chinese army's arrival in Western Europe is also a solemn oath that the old China, which was poor and weak, has disappeared and has been replaced by a strong and prosperous China.

Not only the Army, but also the sky at this time was showing a stalemate, the Germans had already sensed the Allied landing, they quickly sent a large number of combat aircraft into the skies over Normandy, and the Allied Air Force engaged in a desperate battle.

At this time, the brightest star in the sky was the German Me262 jet fighter, which had no propellers and was a complete outlier among all aircraft, but this outlier was like a lightning, incredibly fast and ferocious.

At the beginning of the exchange of fire between the two sides, more than 20 Allied planes were shot down, while the German side only lost four planes, and the ratio of five to one made the Allied side feel a chill, if this continued, the Allied air superiority would be completely flattened, which was the last thing the Allies wanted to see.

The Germans' new fighter jets were on the rampage on the battlefield, but they soon ran into an opponent on Omaha Beach, the Chinese Dijiang jets. Before World War II, the accumulation of technology has reached a certain extent, and the new scientific and technological revolution has seen the dawn, but countries do not know how to order the science and technology tree, so there is a period of confusion in military equipment, and soon new technologies and new ideas are not well played.

However, because of Qiao Yu's guidance, there is no such problem in China, and China's outstanding weapons experts have also lived up to expectations to design jets, a cross-era weapon, and the first contest between jets in human history is about to be staged. (To be continued.) )
