Fang Ruijun and Su Zhizhen's words made everyone discuss, for Fang Ruijun and the others' worries, Gao Hong knew very well, because the oil-producing area of the Central Continent was to the east of his defense area, if he couldn't withstand the pressure of the other party, the oil-producing area would naturally not be guaranteed, so he was the first to stand up and said: "Even if I don't give me a single soldier, I can hold on, I think the second plan should be implemented." ”

Cai Tingyuan echoed: "I also think that the second plan should be implemented, although this plan seems dangerous, if it is just to defend the Western Front, there should not be much problem." Moreover, when the time comes, our military regions can deploy troops and support each other, and now the success or failure of the war lies in the speed of the progress of the troops attacking the New World. Cai Tingyuan's words made Kolchak deeply convinced, and he also nodded in agreement with the proposal of the previous two.

Gao Deyu frowned and thought about it for a long time, and finally spoke: "I agree to the second plan, even if I die, I will hold the position." ”

Su Zhizhen looked at several adults and said, "Little young master, I think the first plan is too conservative, and the second plan is too dangerous, we can compromise." Leave two million reserves on the Western Front, and another one million troops stationed throughout the country to control the situation, and the rest of the troops to concentrate on attacking the Boston Empire itself. With seven million Wehrmacht and reserves, plus a million Guards and a million Marines, so many troops should be enough. ”

Zhang Haiyang and Chen Yu and other senior generals on the side also nodded in agreement, Fang Ruijun looked at the four commanders, and found that they heard that there were two million reserves, and the expressions on their faces were much more relaxed. Fang Ruijun stood up and said: "Okay, according to Commander Su's opinion, let the staff reformulate the plan, you must contact each other in the four directions, form a unified command center, and help each other to defend the Western Front, and Gao Deyu will be responsible for commanding." ”

"Yes." All four commanders stood up. Su Zhizhen said: "I immediately asked the staff officers to draw up a plan, and this time the battle against the Boston Empire will be under my personal command." Fang Ruijun nodded in agreement: "We are going to cut through the entire Boston Empire with a quick knife and completely destroy the evil Axis group." ”

After the meeting, the four commanders immediately flew back to the troops to step up the defense, and Fang Ruijun also transferred the newly formed 60 air wings from China to support the operation on the Western Front, and the two million reserves were quickly organized and advanced to the Western Front, and they would take on the responsibility of protecting the rear of the entire front.

The other military regions are all busy with intense work, and the eastern ocean, which is tens of thousands of kilometers wide, is a rather insurmountable obstacle. This time, the Chinese Empire will cross the entire Eastern Ocean to fight in the New World, and it will be a battle of tens of millions of people, and its difficulty can be imagined. For this reason, Su Zhizhen, Zhang Haiyang, Chen Yu, Feng Ju and others were very nervous, and one after another orders were issued to various departments, and a large number of troops were assembled in the Oahu Islands.

Even the Imperial Department of Defense of Boston, far away on the western continent, smelled the smell of danger, and the Minister of Defense, Field Marshal Pershing, immediately sent a letter to Washington III asking for the strengthening of the home defenses, and after obtaining consent, the Boston Empire declared the whole country on alert, and a large number of reserve troops and some of the regular troops defending the country were massed on the west coast.

Since a large number of Boston regular troops were fighting far away in the Western Continent, they could not be withdrawn for a while, and most of the remaining troops in the entire Boston Empire were basically reserve recruits.

Under the strict orders of Marshal Pershing, a large number of National Guards were assembled in the coastal areas, and the arsenals worked overtime to produce heavy weapons for the National Guard for defense, and their actions even affected the supply of weapons for the main battlefield of the Western Continent, so that the Axis troops in the Western Continent had a shortage of materials, and indirectly reduced the pressure on the Western Front troops of the Chinese Empire.

"Found target, direction 060, ten kilometers away." A Qingjiang-class Project 1039 general purpose destroyer patrolling the sea spotted the target, and sonar crews quickly locked on to a submarine that was sneaking underwater.

"Immediately confirm the situation, whether it is our own submarine." The captain asked.

The sonar soldier replied: "The other party's displacement is about 700 tons, which is smaller than our Seawolf 2 submarine in service, and it has already sent two communications without answering. ”

The submarine communications of the Boston Empire also relied on low-frequency radios, and such communications could only be carried out on the surface, and they could not receive the underwater acoustic communications used by the Chinese Empire for submarines, so the destroyers were not afraid of being discovered by the other side, and directly used the communication to test it.

Hearing the sonar soldier's answer, the captain nodded affirmatively and ordered loudly: "The right full rudder is moving forward at full speed, and the whole ship is ordered to prepare for anti-submarine warfare." At the captain's order, the entire destroyer became nervous, and dozens of sailors quickly ran towards the depth charge dropper.

With the commander's order, the four depth charge droppers of the Project 1039 destroyer were launched at the same time, and the huge hesitant oil drum-like depth charges were thrown into the water, and in a short time, a huge column of water exploded, and almost at the same time the destroyer reduced its speed and began to draw a circle around the target.

"Damn, they've been found again, is their sonar so godly?" In the submarine "Trout", which was taking refuge underwater, Captain Michelson gritted his teeth and roared.

Due to the destruction of the ocean-going fleet, the naval strength of the Boston Empire in the eastern ocean was lost, forcing the Boston Admiralty to use extraordinary means to confront it, and sent out more than 100 "big mackerel" class submarines that had never dared to go to sea to fight.

Although Dewey was well aware of their situation, he had to make such a decision to quench his thirst, and he could not imagine how the west coast of the Boston Empire would be attacked if he could not contain a part of the naval power of the Chinese Empire in the Eastern Ocean. Moreover, such a move is also to calm the hearts of the allies, and the Boston Empire must put on a posture to show its presence in the Eastern Ocean, otherwise the coalition forces on the Western Continent will definitely show signs of military instability.

Under such circumstances, the fate of the many submarines sent out to die can be imagined, and without the containment of the other side's surface fleet, the Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire no longer even formed a cruiser fleet, but split many cruisers and destroyers into single ships for patrol, and cooperated with the Sea Hawk 2 and 3 anti-submarine patrol planes deployed all over the islands of the Eastern Ocean to carry out a one-sided massacre of the Boston submarines.

Among the submarine ventures of the Boston Empire, the Trout was one of the more unlucky ones, having only been on the voyage for two days and in distress for the third time. The first two times were discovered by anti-submarine patrol aircraft, but the patrol plane's depth charges and air time were limited, and it was not sunk, but only caused a crack in the two water tanks on its left side, and when the captain was about to return to port for repairs in the name of damage to the hull, he ran into the 1039 destroyer that heard the news.

The entire anti-submarine network of the Chinese Empire has a very developed communication system, so after the two Seahawk-2 anti-submarine patrol planes failed to attack, the situation was reported to the anti-submarine command on Oahu, and the command immediately contacted all the anti-submarine planes and destroyers in the nearby waters, and it happened that the No. 1039 destroyer patrolled nearby and immediately came over.

Sure enough, the 1039 destroyer, which arrived quickly, quickly used the powerful sonar array installed in the bow bulbous bow to find the target and quickly launched an attack. The number and endurance of the destroyer carrying depth charges are not comparable to that of anti-submarine patrol aircraft. What's more, the Boston Empire's 'Big Mackerel' class submarines have a depth of only 150 meters, which is even worse than the low-grade submarine Seawolf 2 currently equipped by the Chinese Empire, and there is no possibility of sparing the depth of water charges with a maximum detonation depth of 250 meters. The Project 1039 destroyer did not even use the anti-submarine rocket in the bow, but only used depth charges to maneuver, and after a three-hour stalemate with the submarine "Trout", it was effective. The Trout was hit directly by a depth charge, and Captain Michelson had to order the submarine to rise urgently, and raised the white flag in surrender.

Months of anti-submarine warfare had inflicted heavy losses on the Boston submarines, but it also caused some problems for the Imperial Chinese Navy, delaying their offensive for some time and giving the Boston Army a lot of time to prepare. Just when there were frequent exchanges of fire in the Eastern Ocean and a major war was about to break out, a new war on the battlefield of the Western Continent was about to begin.

The ice and snow are gradually melting, and the middle and northern route armies of the Axis army, which have long been impatient, have begun to prepare for a new offensive, and this time in order to save the decline, the Axis group will attack more intensively.

The first to attack was not the outnumbered Central Route Army, but the Northern Route Army, which was smaller in number and easy to prepare. In fact, throughout the winter, fighting in the north was going on.

The Axis Bloc Northern Route Army, led by the Sahr Army, was forced to wait for the temperature to rise before continuing the offensive because the weather was too cold for the mechanized equipment to move. However, the armies of the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg and the Vikings were not affected by this, they already lived in the far north, and there were many ways to deal with the cold. What's more, most of them are light infantry, and they are not dragged down by mechanized equipment, so they are more adapted to such weather, so they still rely on small forces to continue to attack in winter.

The Cossacks were also a fighting people living in the far north, and their ability to fight in the cold was not inferior to that of the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg and the Viking Kingdom, and after the temperature dropped below minus 20 degrees, the Cossack army also sent elite infantry units to confront the armies of the two countries.
