Chapter 618: Target: Japan Mainland!

The Second World War, which was supposed to end in 1945, was still at an end in sight in 1946, with the fascists still running amok and the Allies barely holding the front, but constantly suffering huge losses. Countless people felt tired, but everyone did not dare to take it lightly, let alone relax in the slightest. Because everyone's attention is not only facing the enemy, but also facing their own "allies"!

For example, in India, the Sichuan army surrendered more than 100,000 puppet troops and occupied the Mumbai area, and the British immediately felt great pressure. The British government tried every possible way, made a wish, gave money, and cut the land, and finally made Pan Wenhua and others agree to leave Mumbai and go to the front line in Calcutta. Then, after about three months of rest and reorganization, the Xinchuan army left Bombay, but no sooner had this force left, and the vanguard of the British had only been stationed in the camp, the local Indians revolted. The radical wing of the Congress party demanded that the British give themselves independent status and demanded that the British withdraw from India. Of course, the British didn't do it, so the rebels clashed with the British, and then it turned into a battle, and then there was a war!

The main force of the British was on the Calgada front, and the troops who went to Bombay to receive the territory were only the second-line troops that Mountbatten and others originally used to defend New Delhi and other places, and there were not many troops. As a result, he was repeatedly defeated in battles with the Indians. In desperation, Mountbatten had to let Pan Wenhua and others, who had just left not far away, return to the division again to suppress the "rebels"! What Mountbatten didn't expect was that his decision would ultimately destroy the British dominance in the Mumbai area. Pan Wenhua and others were secretly instigated and instigated by some guys. On the one hand, he suppressed the Indian rebels, and on the other hand, he excluded the British presence in Mumbai and even the whole of Salset. Know the way. Mumbai is also one of the largest cities in India, and the island of Salset, where it is located, exists almost independently of the Indian mainland, and can be easily controlled by hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops. Facing the Arabian Sea, Mumbai's strategic position is self-evident. The purpose of Pan Wenhua and others is obviously not pure. It's a pity that the British couldn't do anything even if they knew the Tao later, because at that time, they couldn't keep Mumbai, even India.

And just like that, the British had to deal with the rising rebellions of the Indians. The army of Pan Wenhua and others nested in the Mumbai area and never moved, and as their enemy, Seishiro Sakagaki was cut off from retreating on land because of Qin Wei. They could only rely on the secret "tacit understanding" between China and Japan, and occasionally received some support from the sea, so they did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and could only desperately accelerate the digestion of the industrial strength in the Kolkata area. The war in South Asia is at a stalemate for the time being.

South Asia has stopped.

The Pacific Ocean is filled with gunsmoke.

The great industrial power of the Americans was on display at this moment. More than a dozen warships were sunk by Nagumo Zhongichi. Dozens of ships were damaged. But at the beginning of 1947, they created a new Pacific Fleet, and this fleet was even more powerful than before. Roosevelt had nothing to do with Germany for a while, so he poured all the anger he had held on the Japanese in the past few years. The Pacific Fleet took the initiative to go to sea to find the enemy and find Nagumo Tadaichi for a decisive battle. What the Americans didn't expect was that they had been looking for a long time, but they couldn't find the Nagumo Fleet, which had been arrogant and domineering on the west coast of the United States. After drifting on the sea for more than half a month, they got accurate information: Nagumo Tadaichi had just led his army through Hawaii. It seems that he is planning to return to Japan.

The Pacific Fleet immediately pursued and encountered the Nagumo Fleet near Midway on March 13, 1947.

Battle of Midway!

Originally, this was a turning point in the Pacific War. In this naval battle, the main force of the Japanese Navy was lost, and it lost its sea supremacy, and since then it has fallen into a situation of passive beating. But this time it was different.

The Pacific Fleet, on the scale of more than fifty warships, twenty submarines, was opposed to forty warships and seventeen submarines of the Japanese. As soon as they made contact, the two sides fell into a fierce battle. The battle was in favor of the American army at the beginning. Because in terms of carrier-based aircraft, the United States has the advantage. And in the case that aircraft carriers have become the dominant force of a new generation of naval warfare, having an advantage in air combat is almost equivalent to having an advantage in the entire naval battle. But the problem is that the Japanese at this time are slightly different from the Japanese in the original history. After five hours of fierce fighting between the two sides, Japanese reinforcements arrived, and the super-giant aircraft carriers "Musashi" and "Shinano", both of which were more than 70,000 tons under the personal command of Isoroku Yamamoto and had a full load displacement, suddenly appeared. Each of these two giant aircraft carriers can carry 2450 aircraft, in other words, the number of carrier-based aircraft carried by one of these two aircraft carriers can be compared with the number of carrier-based aircraft carried by more than half of the Pacific Fleet.

The Pacific Fleet suffered another defeat. After losing three aircraft carriers, two cruisers, one destroyer, and more than 300 aircraft, Admiral Nimitz had no choice but to retreat, while the Japanese side lost two aircraft carriers, one destroyer, and more than 100 warplanes, but they still won in the end and retained their supremacy in the Pacific.

However, he retained the right to control the sea, but he could not keep his own sky.

The Americans could not open a route in the Pacific, so they could only tilt their eyes to Hitler again. But in the same way, in order to contain the Japanese offensive, Roosevelt again approved the proposal to provide China with a hundred B-29 long-range bombers. In this way, the day after the defeat of the Pacific Fleet, Tokyo was bombed by the Chinese Air Force, which prompted the Americans to send their Super Flying Fortress to China more quickly. But the problem is that after taking over a new batch of the most powerful bombers, the Chinese side began to be silent again. The U.S. government was extremely depressed about this and expressed serious dissatisfaction with the Chinese government, but then the Chinese government told them a military secret, forcing them to give up the idea of settling accounts with China...... This military secret is very simple: Hitler is deploying to land in England!

In the original history, Hitler should have had the idea of landing in Britain, but unfortunately the powerful British Royal Navy let this idea be extinguished when he first appeared. Not only that, but the German navy, which had sent out the Lu to trick-or-treat the British routes, was also beaten to the point of being almost completely naked. But now it was different, Chinese had shown the world how to use the Airborne Forces, and Hitler had received a secret surrender from Scotland...... The great Führer believed that as long as his corps landed in the British Isles and took one or two more ports, the rest would be nothing more than a sideways push.

It's a pity that this time Yuan Xiansheng finally suffered his first huge defeat since World War II.

Some people on the Scottish side did surrender to him, but these people were detected and "betrayed" by the Chinese side, and after that, Britain and the United States pretended not to know about this in accordance with the Chinese side's suggestion, but secretly dispatched troops to wipe out the more than 30,000 troops parachuted down by Germany in one fell swoop. At the same time, a large number of German troops massed in France were also subjected to Allied air raids. In the end, the Germans lost more than 50,000 troops alone.

Hitler was furious and again ordered the bombing of the British Isles. But this time, in the face of thousands of new radio-close anti-aircraft guns on the British Isles, the Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses. Not only that, but taking advantage of Hitler's focus on the British Isles, Eisenhower and a group of senior Allied generals commanded the Allied air force to bomb the Libyan oil fields, and at the same time sent additional troops to North Africa again.

A truly large-scale collision between Britain and the United States and the Germans was about to begin.

Qin Wei was a little anxious.

Because he did not know whether Germany could hold up the alliance of Britain and the United States after receiving the energy, industry, food, and human resources of the Soviet Union, and for how long. After all, the Germans were aggressors in every way, and even if Stalin was unpopular, they would not be able to make full use of the resources at their disposal. What's more, compared to the industrial strength of the Americans, the Soviet Union was still far behind. And if the Germans had really been defeated less than two years after the United States had intervened with all their might, as had been the case in history, it would have been difficult for his plan to unfold. Therefore, he decided to speed up the planning process.

Therefore, while the Allies continued to send additional troops to North Africa, Qin Wei persuaded Lao Chiang to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Fujian. And with the help of the air force and almost completely accurate intelligence, Gu Zhutong finally regained Fujian two months later. After that, the Chinese Air Force bombed the Japanese base in Taiwan and at the same time blockaded the Taiwan Strait.

The Japanese side was terrified and hurriedly mobilized a newly formed division from the mainland to Taiwan to assist in the defense. But just when Japan was trying to block the Chinese attack, Qin Wei ordered Wang Yaowu to lead a division of the Airborne Army to seize Ryukyu and quickly build an airstrip in Ryukyu. At this point, Qin Wei's strategic purpose was finally presented in front of everyone: Japan itself!

Faced with this situation, Japan urgently ordered Yamamoto Isoroku to lead his navy to "annihilate" the invading Chinese army. Yamamoto Fifty-six did not dare to slack off, and despite Ishihara's obstruction, he personally led the "Musashi" aircraft carrier and more than a dozen ships to the Ryukyus, and then ...... There is no then. Yamamoto Isoroku was blocked by the fleet led by Chen Shaokuan, and the "Musashi" against the "Yamato", which had never been renamed, could not even make contact, and chose to retreat because he was afraid of sending a small boat in the Chinese fleet that was smaller than the destroyers, but thick and fast. As a result of the retreat, the accompanying battleship "Haruna" was rammed and sunk by such a small boat.

In this way, Japan failed to "recover" the Ryukyus, and the Japanese mainland was thus exposed to the threat of the Chinese Air Force. (To be continued......)
