Chapter 573: The British and the Americans

Tu Qianjun patted Chen Haihua's shoulder and sighed. He knew that this old air force was actually more bitter than anyone else about this loss.

This time, although the Wehrmacht Air Force completely defeated the Japanese Second Flying Division, its own losses also reached as many as 100 aircraft! The three eastern provinces are not Japan and can have so many pilots.

At present, there are only more than 800 pilots in the Wehrmacht, and none of the cubs in the aviation school who have not yet graduated are reluctant to let them come out and work hard.

This time, one guy lost almost a hundred people! How can this not make Chen Haihua feel distressed?! After learning that the Japanese army had dispatched a new fighter, he kept blaming himself!

Why didn't they let Gao Zhihang and them go out in a new tiger shark?! Why did you order them to drive the P-26 and fight with people?! Isn't this pushing the hopes of these air forces into the fire pit?!

"Old Uncle Chen! You are not to blame for this! Tu Qianjun patted Chen Haihua on the shoulder and said, "None of us thought that the Japanese would actually dispatch new fighters, and wouldn't we be able to achieve results?!" They all shot down more than 230 Japanese fighters! ”

"We, the Air Force of the National Defense Force, have contributed twenty trump cards at once! That's amazing! Tu Qianjun smiled and said with relief: "Let them explain their experience and improve their level to their juniors, this is what we have to do now!" ”

Saying that, Tu Qianjun paused and said to Chen Haihua: "Also, let the cubs who have gone through actual combat make a practical report to the R&D Institute." Let's see if there is anything to improve, and give it to Uncle Hou to see......"

Chen Haihua nodded and gave a military salute to Tu Qianjun! He then withdrew from Command.

Now the whole of Korea has been beaten into a pot of porridge, and without the Air Force, the Japanese are like having their sharpest minions pulled out! Under the targeted siege of the Wehrmacht Air Force, almost any defense is useless.

The location of their bunkers and command tunnels were almost completely exposed, and they were reduced to a pile of rubble under heavy artillery, bombing, and aircraft fire by the Wehrmacht.

The Fourth Army advanced ferociously and plunged into the central part of Korea in four directions! Great depth and large interspersing have become the tactics of the Wehrmacht! Through this tactic, they actively launched an attack on the Japanese in an attempt to encircle the Japanese in several positions.

But after all, the Japanese army was a fierce force that had been in battle for a long time, and although it was broken by the Wehrmacht several times, it calmly retreated and organized the next line of positions! This situation has brought the war to a scorching scorch.

In general, the Wehrmacht units are constantly moving forward. However, the defense of the Japanese army is also very tough, and basically the price to pay for taking down a position is not small!

The Fourth Army was fully manned with 200,000 men. In addition to the personnel of the troops directly under the regiment and various civilian departments, the number of combatants has reached 150,000, and the battle casualty rate has now reached 40,000!

More than 8,000 Wehrmacht officers and men were killed in the battle, and many others were seriously injured or even forced to amputate.

Among them, Jiang Wende's division of the 33rd Division of the 11th Army suffered the greatest losses, and the three regiments under his command were basically abolished! Two infantry regiments of 1,800 people, now there are less than 1,000 people left! Forced to withdraw along the Yalu River for repair and replenishment.

The Japanese army was also not comfortable, and now there are three captured brigade flags. In other words, at least three brigades and regiments were basically scrapped in formation. The number of buried Japanese corpses is 24,000.

Now the right army of the Fourth Army has reached Anju, and the middle army has advanced to Tokugawa. The army on the left is fighting in the excitement of salt! It can be said that all the troops go hand in hand! Kill Seoul! It posed a great threat to the Japanese army.

If it was the Japanese Navy that helped. I'm afraid the Wehrmacht won't be going so well. It is a pity that the traditional filthiness of the Japanese army and navy made the army grit its teeth and refuse to ask the navy for help.

And the Navy still hates the Army! Several admirals were killed in the mutiny of the army, and without revenge, they were already considered to be broad-minded in the navy, let alone help.

Now the whole Navy Ministry is watching the Army's jokes with great joy! Should! Let you do it yourself, a bunch of Kwantung Army! I love to find trouble!

So the army gritted its teeth and refused to ask the navy for help, and the navy simply enjoyed watching jokes.

This kind of strange thing can only happen in Japan, and the confrontation between the navy and the army in the army is almost to the point of scolding each other and greeting their ancestors. The army generals swore to death that their children would not marry navy girls, and the navy swore that they would rather marry the daughters of the family to beggars than marry army horse manure!

But without the air force and the support of the navy, these Japanese divisions and regiments squatting in Korea naturally fought hard. The Wehrmacht is no longer the three eastern provinces of the past.

At present, the total population of the Wehrmacht has reached 80 million, and the population of the three eastern provinces has been greatly filled by the influx of people from all over the country. You don't have to worry about running out of land. Later, the total population of the three northeastern provinces was as high as 109.52 million!

But there is still a large area of land that you can't imagine, and it is sparse and ordinary for a family to cultivate hundreds of acres of land. There are even tenants who directly lease tens of thousands of acres of land from various agricultural reclamation groups!

Even now, tens of millions of people have poured into the three eastern provinces, and the total population has reached nearly 70 million, but it still seems a little thin. And for this. The offices in the three eastern provinces are also constantly bringing in people to fill the wasteland in the three eastern provinces.

With a large population comes a variety of conveniences, such as the expansion of the army. Originally, several legions had only shelves, but after several recruitments and the introduction of the corps transfer system, the number of legions reached full strength.

The aid and factories from various countries have brought the three eastern provinces a flourishing science and technology. The number of skilled workers has been increasing in recent years, and the proportion of foreign technicians, who used to account for a large proportion in each factory, has gradually decreased.

This is not to say that they are dismissed, but that the factory is expanding its own workers in the three provinces of the Middle East and can already do a lot of work without the need for a large number of external personnel.

With the expansion of the railway, various industrial raw materials were sent to the factory in batches to be processed into various industrial products, and then flowed to the world through the port of Dalian.

Although the industrial production capacity of the three eastern provinces cannot be compared with that of Japan for the time being, it is better because it has a large number of raw materials and an industrial base. And even a complete R&D institution, so this created the fact that the equipment of the Wehrmacht was not weaker than that of the Japanese army!

Even some of the equipment is stronger than the Japanese army, such as artillery technology. The three eastern provinces imported the technology of Krupp from Germany. The car is an imported technology from Ford of the United States.

The fighter jets absorbed the technology of the American Boeing Company and German engineers, and the firearms were completely Wehrmacht characteristics - now the main forces are gradually replacing them with Tiger assault rifles.

The research and development of small caliber has been completed, and now it is moving towards standardized production. If it weren't for the headache of the ammunition consumed, Tu Qianjun would have equipped the troops on a large scale a long time ago.

However, in response to this situation, Tu Qianjun had already made preparations, that is, to use the means of later generations - to use all-steel bullets!

The Morgan family's U.S. Steel Company. The construction of two blast furnaces with a capacity of 300 tons per day was completed directly in Manchuria. The next two blast furnaces have also been completed and put into operation.

It can be said that basically steel is no longer a problem for Manchuria. Making steel bullets was the most cost-effective deal for Manchuria.

But steel bullets are not so easy to produce, and the Type 95 bullets of later generations have to go through more than 100 processes from iron ore to bullets! Every step is a key point.

In terms of cost, it is true that steel is more cost-effective than copper. But steel is more difficult to process than copper. That's a geometric multiplier. The process of this has been studied, but fortunately, Tu Qianjun has not been a mixed arsenal in his last life. Although I can't say how to make it, I told Hou Xiaoqiang about some of the general processes.

From Hou Xiaoqiang to Fan Xudong, these fanatical scientists are very willing to develop weapons and then let the soldiers of the Wehrmacht stab these murderous things into the stomachs of the Japanese.

The artillery fire on the front line continued to roar, and the headquarters of Tu Qianjun also welcomed two guests. This is the U.S. Ambassador Plenipotentiary to Manchuria, Nelson. Jason. He is also an old friend of Tu Qianjun.

The British came by Walter Brown, the former chairman of the Board of Trade who had been transferred from the Council of Trade to the post of Ambassador Plenipotentiary of the Three Eastern Provinces. Ranciman.

Seeing the two of them coming over together, Tu Qianjun didn't have to think about it to know what was going on. The Japanese probably couldn't bear it, so they wanted to play with their hands in Shanghai.

It is said that it is a negotiation, but in fact it does buy time to breathe and increase the number of troops to continue fighting. If you feel that the troops are enough, immediately put forward a request that you can't carry out, tear up the negotiation and continue to fight. If you can't beat it, ask for negotiations.

"I know what you two have to say!" Tu Qianjun smiled at the two of them and said, "Please tell those dead slaves that it's okay to stop fighting!" Get out of Fujian! Also, Lao Tzu will keep fighting until they get out! ”

Saying that, Tu Qianjun sneered at the two of them gloomily and said, "If he fights Fujian, I can fight North Korea!" I can still hit him homegrown! If you have the ability, he destroyed me! Or, I'll abolish him! ”

Jensen and Ranciman glanced at each other, what else could they say when it came to this?! This tiger is not the first day they have come into contact, and his fierce nature has never been the same!

There's a good show to watch now! Jensen was laughing in his heart, he had already looked at them unpleasantly with those dead Japs! Last time in Shanghai, it was a trade crisis to coerce other countries to intervene in this matter.

These bastards will only be soft and afraid of hard! If they had the courage to confront the tiger directly in North Korea, perhaps Jensen would have looked down on them. It's a pity that these guys specifically picked in Fujian, which is beyond the reach of this tiger whip.

However, they didn't expect this tiger to be so crazy! I don't want to slap them with my backhand and start a war directly in North Korea! As a result, several garrison divisions were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses...... (To be continued)
