In the original history, most of the Japanese forces were dragged to China, and the Soviet Union also held off Germany, so that the power of the Axis powers could not be united. And the main forces of the two Axis powers, Germany and Japan, had a very huge shortcoming: the lack of resources! Especially oil. So they ended up in the hands of the Allies.

But this time, because of someone's indiscriminate intervention, the Axis powers were unprecedentedly powerful. In particular, Germany led by Hitler not only easily captured Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe, but also seized a large number of reserves of the Soviet Union, and most importantly, Germany not only had Libya as an oil base, but also seized the Caucasus oil-producing area from the Soviet Union.

Therefore, the Third Reich, which was facing a difficult situation at this time because of the defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad and had to prepare to launch a so-called "all-out war", could not only transfer troops from the Soviet Union to North Africa to deal with the Allies, but also take out a large number of weapons and baggage to support Japan. And once Germany and Japan join forces, or if they hold further joint operations, the position of the Allies will inevitably be extremely unfavorable. You must know that from the very beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan's logistical supply was quite tight, and it had to implement the so-called policy of "feeding the war with war". However, as the war progressed, this kind of policy began to be unable to support the Japanese army's operations, and the arrogant combat methods of the Japanese in all directions could not last long at all. As long as its opponents hold on, it won't be long before the unlucky ones are the Japanese. But now, Germany is providing a lot of money to Japan...... It is reported that the first batch of baggage was enough to equip ten divisions of Japanese troops.

After hearing the news, everyone was worried.

The offensive momentum of the National Revolutionary Army, which was in the process of "recovering lost territory on a large scale," actually suffered a setback, and even many major front-line officers asked Lao Chiang to stop the attack on the Japanese army, turn back, and organize defense. And Lao Jiang actually agreed with this and brought this issue to the Military Commission for discussion.

Of course. Lao Jiang may not have done anything wrong. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is clearly there, and the reason why the Nationalist army has been able to advance all the way is that in addition to the increase in strength in the past two years, another important reason is that the Japanese army's material supply is insufficient, and Ishihara Wan'er and others, who are in charge of strategic planning, are unwilling to let the Japanese army's strength be wasted in vain, and strongly advocate shrinking the troops. And now that the Japanese have received support from the Germans, their strength has been restored, and they have even increased, who knows if there will be a counteroffensive? Although he was reluctant to take back the territory that had been taken, he was even more reluctant to give up those armies. To know. Some time ago, when "grabbing territory", the central army rushed to the front line and grabbed the best territory. Once the Japanese counterattack, they will definitely bear the brunt of it. And the army is gone, how to counterattack. How else to regain lost territory, how to drive the invaders away? Although the Nationalist Government also has the support of Britain and the United States. But the British and American ships had to go south all the way south along the west coast of Africa to the Cape of Good Hope. It then crosses Malacca diagonally from the Cape of Good Hope and then from the South China Sea to Guangzhou...... This was much more difficult than the Germans transporting things from the Trans-Siberian Railway. After all, although the Chinese Air Force is powerful, it is at most protecting Malacca and the South China Sea, and there are still many Japanese warships in the Indian Ocean to block it.

However, just when Lao Jiang and others were planning to risk the world's condemnation. When the enthusiasm of the people for the "counteroffensive" was high, they were about to retreat some distance, and something big happened on the Siberian side: the Germans' first supplies to Japan were intercepted! And the next "black hand" is actually the Eighth Route Army, which has not been much in the past few years!

Departing from Khalkha Mongolia, pass through the mountainous region between Khalkha and Siberia. bypassed the Japanese defense line and suddenly fought its way out between the mountains and mountains...... By the time the Kwantung Army, which was stationed in Chita and Ulan-Ude to guard against the Eighth Route Army, hurriedly arrived, the Eighth Route Army had already been carrying horses and pulling the goods out for hundreds of miles. The Kwantung Army hurriedly organized a pursuit, and the two armies pursued and fought all the way, and it actually reached Kyakhta on the border between Khalkha and Siberia. And here, the Kwantung Army was blocked by the Eighth Route Army, and it was difficult to advance half a step further.

This move of the Eighth Route Army was extremely brilliant, and after the news came out, it also greatly stimulated the goodwill and enthusiasm of the Chinese people. However, their actions also offended four people at the same time. Three of them are Japanese generals: Umezu Yoshijiro in the Tohoku, Kenkichi Ueda in the Far East, and Nishio Toshizo in Siberia! And the fourth is Lao Jiang.

Although the Kwantung Army in the hands of those three Japanese generals was no longer as large as before, they still organized four divisions to attack Outer Mongolia at the first time, and in addition to these, they also gathered a large number of troops from the puppet Manchukuo, with a total strength of 200,000. As for Lao Jiang, he also helped these invaders intentionally or unintentionally, ordering Fu Zuoyi, Hu Zongnan and others to cut off all contact between Khalkha and the outside world, not to mention, and also rejected Qin Wei's proposal for air support, and even temporarily suspended Qin Wei's air force command because he was worried that Qin Wei would make his own claims.

For a time, the Eighth Route Army seemed to be in a situation of "embattled".

But Lao Jiang obviously forgot what kind of team the Eighth Route Army was, and how many times the predecessor of this army had been surrounded by heavy sieges...... In this kind of situation, people are familiar with ruthlessness!

Under the personal command of Mao Zedong and Zhu De, the Eighth Route Army blocked Xiwei Shouzao in the north of the Sayan Mountains; At the same time, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army fought and retreated, luring the Japanese puppet army under the personal command of Umezu Mijiro to the grassland...... Then, to the surprise of Umezu Mijiro, an armored force consisting of dozens of tanks and combat vehicles broke through the Japanese defenses, and behind this force was an overwhelming cavalry!

Aggression is like fire!

Umezu Mijiro did not expect that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was not inferior to theirs, and it was even more ferocious than the Kwantung Army, which had always been known for its elite bravery, so he could only retreat again and again. As a result, he was pursued and killed by the Eighth Route Army all the way, and tried to organize a defense many times without success, and finally suffered a great defeat.

It's a jaw-dropping battle.

Originally, many people thought that even if the Eighth Route Army would not be wiped out by the Japanese army, it would at least be greatly damaged, but they didn't expect that it was the Japanese army who was unlucky in the end. The Eighth Route Army, which does not seem to be a strong "weakling", after this battle, its vanguard troops have fought through the Great Khing'an Mountains, and then cooperated with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which was originally active in the northeast, for a time, stirred up the turmoil in the entire three eastern provinces.

Lao Jiang was scared.

The Eighth Route Army received a large number of weapons and baggage from the Germans to support Japan, including armored troops, and now it has revealed its "ambitions" for the three eastern provinces...... But he couldn't help it. Because the Eighth Route Army at this time was no longer something he could easily deal with. At least, Hu Zongnan and Fu Zuoyi, who he placed in the south of Khalkha, would never be able to fight against the Eighth Route Army, whose strength suddenly increased greatly. What's more, the strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army also surprised the British and American allies, if it weren't for the fact that he had been there all the time, the Americans would have sent people to Khalkha to contact and cooperate with the Chinese Communists. Therefore, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack, but it is also impossible to turn around the corner and find trouble...... At most, he asked Hu Zongnan and Fu Zuoyi to cut off the connection between Khalkha and North China, but now they have basically opened the passage with the three eastern provinces...... It was too late for the Japanese to concentrate their forces there, so how could they disperse their forces to cut off the various channels of the Eighth Route Army?

The more he thought about it, the more he found that he had no way to deal with the Eighth Route Army, and the more anxious and angry Lao Jiang became...... And in the end, he finally poured his anger on Qin Wei's head. Because in Lao Jiang's view, it was precisely because Qin Wei was messing around in the negotiations with the CCP that the CCP had the opportunity to have armored troops that the Eighth Route Army could easily win in this battle. Therefore, it is Qin Wei who has caused the current situation. So, in a fit of rage, he removed Qin Wei from his post as commander-in-chief of the Air Force.

Qin Wei didn't bother to pay attention to this bald head, and after being removed from his air force rank, he returned to Kunming without saying hello to Lao Jiang. Then he didn't care about anything, and discussed with He Jinhan all day about immigration to northern Myanmar, Laos, North Vietnam and other places. And soon, Lao Jiang realized that he had done something wrong...... After Qin Wei left his post, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the warlords of the Gui family, the Yunnan family, and even the former Sichuan warlords who had just run to Tibet to settle down, and even Yan Lao Xi'er, who was hiding in southern Jinnan, frequently sent people to contact him. And as these people became more closely connected with Qin Wei, the Central Army's operation to regain the lost territory began to become difficult...... Because most of Qin Wei's intelligence was sent to these miscellaneous brands.

For a while, Lao Jiang wanted to kill Qin Wei, but he didn't dare. Because not long after he had this idea, there were rumors about it from the outside world...... Public opinion is turbulent, and there is no problem with those miscellaneous cards looking for trouble, but the air force that he now regards as a trump card suddenly became chaotic, and Zhou Zhirou, the aviation commander-in-chief, could not suppress it, in addition, the navy was also extremely dissatisfied with this, Chen Shaokuan and Chen Jiliang, the two big leaders of the navy, even personally came to him to inquire about it, so as to show the navy's support for Qin Wei.

In desperation, Lao Jiang could only give up that unrealistic idea, and in order to repair the relationship with Qin Wei and not lose face, he conferred the rank of Admiral Dai Li, who had not appeared for a long time, and appointed him as the Minister of the Navy.

Not long afterward, Dai Li "commanded" the only fleet of the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea to block the Japanese Indian Ocean Fleet, which had just returned from the Indian battlefield, and that was the flagship of the "Yamato" aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of up to 70,000 tons. After a sea and air battle, which is said to have lasted only two or three hours, the Chinese navy drove the "Yamato" and half of the Indian Ocean fleet back to the port of Hainan at the cost of losing one cruiser and damaging one battleship.

The name of the "Great Demon King" Dai Li's name once again shook the world.

However, just when Dai Li's scenery was infinite, someone pressed him fiercely: the Eighth Route Army, which had been silent for several months, went south from Khalkha all the way, posing as if it was going to cross Inner Mongolia and go south to North China. But just when Lao Jiang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Fu Zuoyi to set up a formation to meet the enemy, the Eighth Route Army suddenly swung its tail with a dragon, turned around and took Chifeng, which was garrisoned by the Japanese army, and then, the soldiers pressed under the city of Jinzhou!
