"Hurry up! Hurry up!! Chen Shaokuan whispered to himself in his flagship. The Japanese took them by surprise and moved extremely quickly. Yamashita showed the execution power he had shown on the battlefield in Malaya.

Very quickly and quickly concentrated their troops in the harbor, and under the cover of the navy, they boarded the transport ships one after another. Due to the limited range of the Air Force, it is not possible to attack the port directly.

However, Long Shenzu, who was originally in charge of the pursuit, was concerned that the Japanese army had large-caliber naval guns and a large number of carrier-based aircraft to support him, so he stopped the pursuit and only harassed their evacuation.

There is no way, the troops of the Wehrmacht cannot be drawn here. The battle has been fought so far, and the Wehrmacht can be said to have won the battle.

They thwarted the Japanese Navy's attempts to support the Mie position, sinking several Kogawa-class gunboats. But at the same time, the Japanese army completed a strategic shift.

The sudden Philippine incident made the strategic goal of the Japanese army begin to turn. Sugiyama Moto, on the other hand, perfectly completed the strategic goal of the base camp layout, transferred part of the troops to the seaport and began to prepare for the implementation of support to the Philippines.

"Why don't you speak?! We've won a bit of a bit now, and we're not losing in that regard. Why do you all look like you've lost a battle?! ”

Tu Laohu smiled at Li Zongren, commander of the South China Military Region, Lu Han, commander of the Southwest Military Region, and others, whose faces were not very good-looking: "If you don't lose the battle, this is not bad!" ”

"Three guns, you don't want to comfort us. In this battle, we can say that we have the advantage, the artillery is stronger than the Japanese, the air force is stronger than the Japanese, and even the infantry is better than the Japanese. But until now, some of these gangsters have been asked to run, and the rest have calmly withdrawn from the position. That's it. We're a loser......"

Li Zongren said with a wry smile, he knew that he was improving. The soldiers of the South China Military Region were advancing, and he also thought that the Japanese, as opponents, could not stand still.

But what he didn't expect was that the Japanese would progress so quickly. Even this was beyond the estimate of him and the Wehrmacht, and this time Sugiyama Moto's command of the operation, although it caused great losses and lost its position.

However, in terms of on-the-spot command on the battlefield, the performance of the Japanese army was remarkable. Sugiyama did not estimate the situation at the first and fourth positions.

There were some mistakes in the command at the time, but he quickly adjusted. The troops of the two military districts in the Southeast Asian theater were superior at that time, and the Japanese did not anticipate their actions at all.

And in the beginning. Indeed, the Wehrmacht dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army by surprise. But then, Sugiyama Gen began to concentrate his forces on the rear. At the same time, the navy was called in to assist in the operation.

At that time, the Wehrmacht had to transfer its own artillery units and a part of the air force to Weijiang to stop the Japanese support. The fighting between the two sides on the Weijiang River and the two positions of No. 1 and Si No. 4 gradually neutralized the superiority of the Wehrmacht.

The raid turned into a war of attrition, and although the Wehrmacht succeeded in crushing the Japanese entrenched forces and almost completely destroying the Third Air Force under the Japanese Southern Army, the Wehrmacht's own losses were not small.

Even Gao Zhihang, commander of the Air Force in the Southeast Asian Theater, was forced to go into battle in person. One can imagine how fierce the battle has become. Of course, there were not a few Japanese fighters they shot down.

Including the downing of the Japanese naval aircraft, the air force still won the victory. But this victory came so hard, and the air force warhawks in the entire Southeast Asian theater paid nearly 400 soldiers for it.

The army's losses were not small, and Lin Zongren in the South China Theater even considered this battle to be the most difficult battle he had experienced since becoming a national defense force.

When he attacked from Guizhou and Guangdong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it was not so difficult. The terrain here is complicated, the weather is changeable, and the most troublesome are the Japanese officers who have suffered losses from the Wehrmacht. Part of the countermeasures has been developed.

Their fortifications are more complete, and their firepower and command are more mature. The Wehrmacht is changing, and the Japanese army has not stopped changing.

Although it was not yet evenly matched, at least the Japanese were already in a position to deal with the Wehrmacht's attack. Merely. It's just a bit more costly.

"It was to be expected that the Japanese would find a way to deal with us. After all, the squirters woke up faster than we did. At that time, seeing that we were cleaned up by foreign devils, they began to develop. It's not like us. I didn't know the development ...... until I was almost crippled by the packing."

Pao Ye was very calm, and said to Li Zongren: "Let's get to the end." This development time is not as good as others. The foundation is thin, and it is good to be able to fight without suffering a big loss. ”

Li Zongren knew that what the gun said was reasonable, in fact, before joining the National Defense Army, Li Zongren and the others didn't even dare to imagine that they could fight evenly with the Japanese army.

At that time, China's poverty and weakness were clear to everyone. Before the Sino-Japanese war, the most optimistic view was that China would only be able to withstand it for half a year.

At the beginning of the war, it was indeed like those tactical deductions. The Japanese offensive can be described as devastating. In the battle of Songhu, the national government and local armies were almost exhausted.

However, it fought for half a month, and did not annihilate the marines of only a few thousand people. The Japanese army took the opportunity to land and operate, and finally reached Shanghai with one blow.

Since then, the government has been forced to move south. First Wuhan, then Chongqing. In the end, the Nanjing government, which had been established for less than 20 years, was destroyed in Chongqing.

Those former government officials with evil intentions threw themselves into the Japanese army with a large number of troops. The rest of those who still have flesh have chosen to join the coalition government.

It was from this time that the tide of the war changed. The Wehrmacht units that had entered the pass began to unite the forces of all sides, and a new Wehrmacht unit was formed, choosing to continue the war.

Countless pays, countless blood and lives, in the end they still drove the Japanese out.

"It's been fought until now, and I believe we are the ones who have the last laugh." Tu Sanpao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the Japanese will not defeat the Philippines." What we have to do now is to completely kill Annan's self. ”

At this time, Chen Shaokuan, who was sailing on the sea, was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. This was the first operation of the Navy, but it was not realized because of the extremely fast movements of the Japanese army.

This made Chen Shaokuan very unacceptable. The most serious is. The failure of the Navy to catch up with this campaign caused a great crisis in the Philippine Nanyang Division.

The extremely long coastline of the Philippines could be turned into a landing point for the Japanese, who could carry out landing operations at any point. As long as they get a foothold there, then they can get a steady stream of support.

The Nanyang Army Division, on the other hand, fought almost alone, and after they were exposed, the Wehrmacht could not give them much support through the coastline because the navy was not strong.

Thinking of the Nanyang Army Division, which had less than 30,000 people and did not have too many heavy weapons, Chen Shaokuan couldn't help but blame himself for facing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops.

Can they continue to fight without support?! All this is unknown, and as far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that the troops of the Nanyang Army Division are more than lucky......

"Knock knock knock......" At this time, there was a knock on the door of Chen Shaokuan's bedroom. Then the adjutant's voice was heard: "Commander, there is an urgent call from the General Command." Ordered us to go to Manila first to resupply. Wait for the Japanese to attack, attack their fleet! ”

Chen Shaokuan hurriedly got up and opened the door, took the telegram and glanced at it hurriedly. After pondering for a while, Chen Shaokuan ordered: "Gather all fleet commanders, and we will have a meeting immediately!" ”

And in the imperial capital. Everyone lost the mood to sleep. The staff headquarters was filled with smoke, and the Japanese army's hand directly caught many Wehrmacht staff officers off guard.

Although they had expected the Japanese to react to the Philippines, they did not expect the Japanese to be so decisive. Without dragging the slightest, he let Yamashita Fengwen take the troops to the port.

This step did not follow, and the result is that the Wehrmacht is now in a passive position.

"Qiliu, do you think Houfu can hit the Japanese hard?!" Lin Sen seemed extremely restless now, and he kept scurrying around the staff. After a while, he stopped and asked Su Zongzhe, the chief of the General Staff.

"I have faith in Houfu!" Su Zongzhen looked at Lin Sen. Said firmly: "He is an old navy, Marshal Sa will not be mistaken." I also believe that Chengzhang will not look at the wrong person! ”

Having said that, Lin Sen still looked extremely uneasy. The war situation in the Southeast Asian theater has basically been settled, and the biggest crisis now is the Philippines.

Arranged there in the back hand. If there is a mistake, the resulting losses will be enormous.

"Chairman, don't be in a hurry. This is already the case, and we have to prepare for the worst. Tu Menghu didn't know when he appeared next to Lin Sen, and said.

"First of all. We have to believe Jensen them. If they weren't elite enough, I wouldn't let them do such a difficult task. Loneliness for more than half a year. They all survived. I'm sure they won't drop the chain at this time. ”

"I believe it even more, they have waited too long and trained too long in order to be able to fight. They should be the most combat-hungry branch of our Defence Forces. The army and air force have proved their strength, and they can't wait to prove that they are no longer soft persimmons to be manipulated. ”

Taking a deep breath, Tu Menghu looked at Lin Sen and said, "If the Nanyang Army Division fails, we will fight them to avenge them." The navy will have to be trained in this campaign, and in the future they will have more warships at their disposal. ”

"Our No. 2 and No. 3 aircraft carriers are already under construction, and Chief Engineer Jia has made a package ticket with me. By the end of this year at the latest, our self-built aircraft carriers will be able to enter service. As long as our naval officers and fighters can keep up, then I will have three usable aircraft carriers by then! ”

"Other equipped ships are also being manufactured, and the U.S. military has promised to support us with five warships. Now these warships are on their way, even if they fail this time. As long as our navy is trained, then the final victory is still ours! Tu Menghu looked at Lin Sen and said very solemnly: "This, I can promise you!" ”

Lin Sen nodded, leaned back on the chair tiredly, and said with a wry smile: "Old~ After all, I am old." At this little thing, my old man began to tremble. It's a joke for you......"

No one had any intention of laughing at the old man, even though he didn't know much about the army. But as soon as he learned the news, he still came to inquire about the situation.

Most importantly, he kept asking what the coalition government could do to help the military. The old man had gone through the decay of the country for too long, and now that the country had grown, he was deeply afraid that the coalition government would repeat the mistakes of the past.

Therefore, he was extremely sensitive to the losses of the army. When it was learned that the Nanyang Army Division was in danger. He went to the Wehrmacht General Staff, which he almost never set foot on, and made sure to ask the matter clearly.

"Nope! Chairman, we are aware of your concerns. But rest assured, we won't fail! Tu Menghu looked at the old man solemnly, and said sincerely: "I said that we will win." Win the ultimate victory! ”

At this time, the Soviet-German-occupied zone was in chaos. Commander-in-Chief of German Army Group B, Commander-in-Chief of Army Group Center. Feng. Bock was furious in his own command.

"Are you all idiots?! Why did the Allied forces infiltrate our occupation zone, and you don't even know anything about it?! One of our train guns was also wrecked by them! Who will bear this responsibility?! ”

It is no wonder that Bock was furious, and the three train gun parking points were attacked to varying degrees in the middle of the night a day ago. A train cannon was completely destroyed beyond repair. The other two were damaged, but the repairers reported after two weeks of repairs. These two train guns can still be barely used.

"The worst part is: you haven't found these rats until now! Are they going to dig holes in the ground?! This matter has been brought to the attention of the Führer, and you must find these rats within three days! Otherwise, the SS would have taken over the matter......"

Bock's words made the officers present shudder, and they knew in their hearts who the SS was. Once the SS took over the matter, everything would be incredibly complicated.

There is no guarantee of how many people will be thrown into prison. Never to see the light of day.

"Act now! Fast!! Bock roared angrily, and all the German officers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran out of the headquarters and began to let the patrol officers into the woods and bushes to search for any clues.

At the same time, reconnaissance aircraft also began to take off, looking for suspicious locations nearby.

Giles and Dahler now felt like they were in a dream, and if they hadn't seen them with their own eyes, they would never have believed how easily they had destroyed the German train guns.

A few days earlier, they had successfully arrived at the German train gun position. Judging by reconnaissance from a distance, at least one regiment of German units was on the defensive side of the position.

At the same time, this garrison was also equipped with a part of the artillery. It can be seen from the defensive arrangement of this army. They were definitely the elite of the German army.

If you want to take this place, you need at least one division to have a chance. But the occasional German patrols patrolling nearby shattered their illusions, even if a division arrived in lurk and attacked.

Even if the Germans were cut off from communications, the patrol would soon be aware of what was going on. At that time, the attacking troops will face the encirclement and suppression of the German army.

Impregnable! This is Giles's newly learned Chinese. But he feels that this Chinese idiom is so compatible here.

As the commander of the 18th Special Commando Team, Lei Daxiang didn't think there was any pressure to attack here. After personally observing the German train gun positions, he began to calculate the location of the attack with the soldiers of the Armor 18.

Lei Daxiang did not immediately launch a surprise attack here, and he led his people to three German train gun parking points in a row before finally starting to plan the attack.

Each Tiger Roar launch point is carefully calculated and planned. First of all, it can't be too far away. Too far away, the accuracy of the tiger roar cannot be guaranteed. It can't get too close, or the Germans will soon come looking for them.

The launch site should also be hidden. It is convenient to evacuate after the launch. Success or not, A18 only has one chance. After the launch of the Tiger Roar, they had to evacuate immediately.

Otherwise, the Germans would soon be able to find their position based on ballistics. Launch time, evacuation route, final rendezvous point...... Wait, when everything was planned, the launch time was set in the evening.

At two o'clock in the morning, three tiger roars were launched at the same time. Immediately after the launch, they evacuated, fifteen kilometers away from the launch site was the shelter they had prepared in advance.

This hideout site originated from the early Soviet covert operations, it required diving through a river to enter the cave, and because it was a place for the early Soviet organizations to meet secretly, some supplies and weapons were prepared.

At the time of the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the partisans were not notified of this. Upon learning of this operation, the Investigative Committee informed Trotsky of this secret stronghold.

Trotsky then conveyed this message to Eisenhower, who knew better than anyone that the three great guns were now the greatest threat to Moscow.

If they cannot be destroyed, it will be difficult to carry out the defense of Moscow.

"It's so exciting! Ray, how did you guys get all this stuff?! How can they be so powerful?! "Giles hasn't recovered from the power of the tiger's roar yet.

Even though he hurriedly withdrew with the detachment after the attack and arrived at the stronghold as fast as he could, the shock of his tiger roar was still difficult to eliminate.

"It's called 'Tiger Roar', which was proposed by our commander-in-chief and designed and manufactured by our chief engineer Jia. At the time, it was designed for the quickest and most powerful attack. At the same time, it should also be suitable for small units to carry operations. Lei Daxiang explained this problem very clearly.

"There are many mountainous areas in China, and if it is artillery transportation, many places cannot go up. But we needed heavy firepower to attack, so this weapon was developed. ”
