The addition of the Mammer Heavy Tank and the Warrior Spitfire made the Japanese defense line much more fragile. The 60-ton Mammoth tank was a giant monster in the eyes of the Japanese army, and they were used to seeing their own little beans, and they couldn't believe that such a heavy piece of iron could actually brave the rain of bullets and run through the trenches, and the speed was not slow. Many little devils were smashed to pieces by Mammo's heavy machine guns in surprise. Not to mention the two 128mm smoothbore guns of the Mammoth, each of which will collapse a long trench or break the fortifications on the cliff.

"It's too much of a bully to bring such a monster to deal with us, isn't it?" A devil officer asked such a question before being vaporized by artillery.

Actually, Mammoth is not a monster. Mammoth is just a tank code named by His Majesty, and on the operation interface of the main base of the Red Police, Mammoth has another name - Apocalypse Tank!

Well, don't look at anything else, just look at the last four words, and Zhong Yi feels like his brain is about to crash. However, the cost of each vehicle is as high as 200,000 yuan, and the construction time is still six hours after the reduction of the tank factory, which determines that the Apocalypse tank cannot be built in large quantities. One hundred is the current Imperial Apocalypse uh no, in order to conform to the naming principle of the Imperial Army's weapons, His Majesty changed the name of the Apocalypse to the Mammoth, and there are currently only one hundred Mammoth in the entire empire, which was transported to the Northern Chinese Army, and the rest were transported to the Taiwan Front. Zhong Yi had expected that the Battle of the Ryukyu Islands would not be easy to fight, and the small 100,000 American troops in his previous life did not die in vain.

Sure enough, at a critical time in the Battle of Okinawa, the appearance of the Mammoth made a great contribution, coupled with the Warrior Light Spitfire tank to sweep the hidden tunnels and caves of the Japanese army, the devil finally could not support it, and the defense line was gradually broken through. By 20 December, the Mosu Army had broken through the Shuri Line, the core of the Japanese defenses, and the Allies had entered Shuri Castle, which was in ruins. Ushijima led the rest of the army back about ten kilometers to the southern tip of the island to the last line of defense, a natural barrier of two mountain peaks, the terrain was rugged and precipitous, and the Japanese made full use of the terrain to build cleverly concealed gun emplacements and tunnel fortifications, which Ushijima was determined to rely on to fight to the last soldier.

However, the tenacity of the Japanese army did not have much impact on the situation of the war. A convoy of Yanhuang steamers, escorted by several destroyers, arrived on the island of Okinawa. Coming down the ship were trucks with black barrels on their compartments.

Many Han soldiers who have seen the tragic situation in Taipei City have invariably shouted the word "black widow", and they know that these trucks are loaded with demons, and they will bring you unforgettable nightmares like devils.

The arrival of "Black Widow", combined with the napalm of the Air Force, completely shattered Ushijima's determination to resist to the end. After more than a month of fighting, the impatient Quanquan Lin ordered the 18th Army of the Yangzhou Army to land near Cape Kiyatake, at the southern tip of Okinawa Island, and cooperate with the Mosu Corps on the front and flanks to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. This landing became the last straw that crushed the Japanese army, and the Japanese army, which was divided and encircled, understood that the last moment was coming. In the tunnel, the health soldiers injected the wounded with large doses of morphine, causing them to die peacefully.

And Ushijima Mitsumi was in the Morbunin tunnel, sent a farewell telegram to Tokyo, took off his military uniform, changed into a kimono, toasted with the staff officers around him one by one, drank the last farewell wine, and then committed suicide by caesarean section. His chief of staff followed him to commit suicide by caesarean section, and a number of officers also committed suicide en masse.

The Battle of Okinawa lasted 34 days and ended with the victory of the Allies, with more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers killed or captured, and the Allies suffered more than 50,000 casualties, nearly half of the total number of the Mosu Legion.

Tens of thousands of local civilians were killed, wounded, or forced to commit suicide by the Japanese army, significantly reducing the population of the Ryukyus.

The Battle of Okinawa played an important role in the entire war against Japan. The Allied side won a crushing victory, opened the door to land in Kyushu, and gained a lot of experience in the battle of attacking the islands. The defeat of the Japanese army proved the correctness of Ishihara's "decisive plan" and strengthened the determination of the Japanese side to resist to the death.

Jiang Yunzhi on Jeju Island had already sent several telegrams, urging him to launch the Kyushu campaign as soon as possible, but a small island of Okinawa was stunned and dragged on for more than a month before it was defeated. This was also the result of the absolute superiority of naval and air firepower and the entry of new weapons into battle on the allied side, and Quan Lin felt the need to remind Jiang Yunzhi that he could not underestimate the enemy. This time, it was the Mosu Army that was disabled, but there were still more than a million Japanese troops on the Japanese mainland, and the number of miscellaneous troops that had been improvised was several times larger, and there were countless fanatical hostile civilians. The landing in Japan, neither militarily nor politically, was a simple operation, and for the battlefield commander it was an adventure; For the Han Empire, this was even more of an adventure, and once it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It's not that Zhong Yi didn't see this, but time can't wait. Although isolationism is still prevalent in the United States, it is difficult for Luo to join the war. But the difficulty of this thing, it appears is waiting to be overcome, and the defeat of small Japan and Germany in the previous life is always reminding Zhong Yi. Judging from the current situation, US intervention in mainland China is inevitable, and according to the intelligence of the Fifth Division of the Military Intelligence Agency, the US Congress is also debating endlessly whether or not to meddle in Japanese affairs. The Republican Party opposed intervening in Japan's war, opposed meddling in the affairs of the Grand Alliance, and wanted to avoid angering the Han Emperor and preventing the United States from becoming an enemy of the powerful South Pacific countries. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, believes that the United States cannot stay out of the affairs of the Asia-Pacific region, because before World War I, it was because the United States acted too late and did not get too many big pies from the great powers to cut the big cake of the Qing Dynasty.

This is the difference between a dictatorship and a two-party state, you have to point your finger at everything and scold it for a while, and you can only discuss it when the matter is coming, this is the so-called freedom. It is nothing more than superficializing and unleashing contradictions in order to maintain the stability of the regime. When it came to the Han Emperor, things became easier.

In Wei Qingge's office, Ye Weixun reported that it was the sixth time that the German side had urged when the alliance treaty could be formally signed, and it seemed that the situation in the European war was not good.

Mu Yu sneered, it's not bad, it's not bad.

With the Air Force as the spearhead, the "Sea Lion Project" for the British Channel suffered a setback, although Germany had more bombers, but in terms of fighters, Germany's main aircraft, the Me262-A1 Swallow jet fighter, could not have the upper hand in the face of the British Meteor fighter. Since the start of the war, German bombers have been invincible, especially the Me262-A2 Storm Bird jet bomber, which can only be admired by the fighters of other European countries with a speed of 850 kilometers per hour.

The newly promoted Luftwaffe commander Hermann Goering concentrated three air armies, nearly 3,000 combat flights and 13 air divisions, 168 transports, 1,910 barges, 419 tugboats, and 1,600 motor boats. August 13 was designated as "Eagle Day", which means the day when the German warhawks launched a general attack. But Goering made a fatal mistake, or rather his beloved Führer misguided him. Germany began to develop jet fighters before the war, but it was not until the Führer negotiated with the Han Emperor to introduce the J-5 at a high price that Germany's jet engine technology made leaps and bounds. The Führer's fondness for flaunting his personal friendship with the Han Emperor led Goering into believing that Germany had first acquired Han jet technology, and that the Soviet Union had extorted two J-Vs only after the coup d'état in Xi'an. But he ignored that Britain was the first country to intersect with the Han Kingdom, and even the entire South China Continent was sold to Zhong Yi by former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Britain got the J-V and even Type 59 medium tanks earlier. When it comes to the development of jet fighters and armored forces, Britain can be said to have gone ahead of Europe. It's just the limitations of the island nations, Britain doesn't pay much attention to the army, and the British tank still lags behind the German No. 2 Leopard tank.

However, the turbojet-engined Meteor fighter was strongly supported by the British Royal Air Force, and various models of all-weather fighters, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, etc. were developed. After the outbreak of the European War, Britain's aircraft factories stepped up the production of Meteors, and authorized three companies in the United States to help them produce Meteor fighters. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhong Yi exchanged aircraft and armor technology for British support. Although Japan also acquired jet technology through Germany, Japan's weak defense industry capabilities made the production of the Zero too low to have much impact on the war.

Nowadays, the United States, which has a huge industrial capacity and is dozens of times larger than Japan, has obtained turbojet technology, and in addition to supporting Britain with more than 100 Meteor fighters per month, the United States' own jet fighter research and development has also developed by leaps and bounds. The P-80 single-engine, single-seat jet, codenamed after the British Meteor; The P86 Sabre, a fighter-bomber developed by North American Airlines, according to the Americans themselves, has a performance that is directly on par with the first-generation swept wing Wyvern fighter of the Han Kingdom. When Mu Yu sent this information to the Han Emperor's case, His Majesty just smiled slightly, "Sabre? In his previous life, he was beaten by the MiG-15 of the Volunteer Army on the Korean battlefield, and he was embarrassed to come out? Wait for the Yankees to come up with the F-14 Panda and the Immortal Bird air-to-air missiles. ”

For Zhong Yi, who has the support of base technology, the British and American meteors and sabers are certainly not enough, but for the mustache who swept across the European continent and was in extreme arrogance, this is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. The Messersmitt 262 fighters, which the Luftwaffe was proud of and invincible on the mainland, were actually stunned in front of the British Meteor fighters, and the "Eagle Day" Storm Bird and He-111 Hawk, Do17 Pencil, and Ju88 Air Wing bomber group escorted by more than 80 Swallows were shot down 143 planes, and even the Swallows were shot down 24 in the dogfight with the Meteor, while the Meteor lost only 26 planes. Although the "Eagle Day" bombing was quite successful, five airfields in southern Britain were seriously damaged, six of the seven radar stations in the most critical positions of the British army were bombed, and the entire communications system was basically destroyed.

But such heavy losses in the bomber force made Air Marshal Goering lose face and made the Führer furious. The Führer ordered that the Messersmit Company must come up with a more advanced fighter design in the near future, and Dornier and Rongyuan Aircraft Company both joined the design, "putting aside the distinction between the company and the manufacturer, and making every effort to produce a more advanced 'Eagle' for the Empire, and blow up those hateful British." ”

After listening to Mu Yu, the other four people in the Supreme Commander's Office all laughed, Captain Qian and the indigenous girl laughed heartlessly, purely listening to the story and praising Mu Yu, His Majesty already knew the plot, only Ye Weixun realized the problem.

"Director Mu is not a person who can tell stories to everyone, is it ......" Ye Weixun's political sensitivity once again gave him insight into the opportunity.

Seeing Ye Wei's questioning gaze, His Majesty nodded slightly.
