Chen Feng ignored the Portuguese Government's shouts from the air, and an infantry battalion and two warships stationed on Hong Kong Island were already ready to go, and as soon as the time was up, they would sail directly to Ao Island and completely destroy the Portuguese institutions set up on Ao Island.

The Portuguese government saw that the Chinese side was so tough, and they also closed their mouths with interest, they really don't have much energy to quarrel with China now, and the island is based on Portugal itself, and at the same time far away from Brazil, the Portuguese government is beyond the reach of the island, and now the Chinese government wants to take back the island, and the Portuguese government can only be forced to accept it.

On May 5, 1941, the Portuguese government withdrew its personnel from Ao Island, and then the Chinese government sent troops to Ao Island.

Soon the time entered late May, and according to the decision of the Allied High Command, it was planned to conduct a landing operation in Normandy, France, at the end of May and early June, to open up the third battlefield in Europe.

But before that, a special detachment of Jews went to Europe with Chen Feng's orders, and they were going to meet one person, Rommel.

China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is now in its seventh year, and the anti-fascist war in Europe has also entered its fifth year.

But Chen Feng knows that the current Germany has not come to an end, the Third Reich still has the strength of World War I, at least the German Army is still the most powerful force in Europe, whether it is the Soviet Red Army or the American and British armies still cannot fight the German Army alone, so Chen Feng hopes to end the European War early with the help of one person, this person is the German Field Marshal Rommel.

Rommel must be no stranger to everyone. The Desert Fox was more famous than any other general in the German army. He was one of the shining stars of the Second World War, a military general who was able to achieve great prominence during his lifetime and continue to be honored after his death, especially by both opposing sides.

Ronmel's supporters called him the Nazi god of war, and his superb military qualities and excellent tactical talents were respected and adored by many military enthusiasts and even famous military strategists. Those who opposed it were called "tactical giants, strategic dwarfs" on the basis of their strategic mistakes, and because Rommel was once Hitler's favorite general and the Nazis' most effective instrument of aggression, he was called "World War II arsonists".

Many people worship it. There are also many people who dismiss it. This is not surprising. Because Rommel himself was such a contradictory man.

Manstein, Rommel and Guderian are known as the three great generals of Nazi Germany during World War II. From a political point of view and from a peaceful point of view, they are absolutely fascist accomplices who have committed unforgivable war crimes against other countries, and they are Hitler's killers who have harmed the world.

And from a military point of view. Their superior military qualities. Excellent military command art. It has had a significant impact on the military history of the world and is indeed worthy of study by future generations. Compared to the Nazi German politicians and SS leaders who caused the massacre, they were innocent as good generals of the regular Wehrmacht, who planned and commanded Hitler's wars. However, he opposed the Nazi policy of killing and extermination, let alone participated in the atrocities of the massacre. Perhaps it is precisely because of this, coupled with their amazing military attainments, that they have won the respect of the enemy country and the objective evaluation of historians and military scientists.

The first half of Rommel's life was ordinary, even somewhat obscure, until he was 48 years old, when Rommel was promoted to major general and took command of the Führer's wartime command, which Germany had established for the invasion of Poland. This was not the youngest in the German army, but the speed with which Rommel rose to prominence after that created a miracle for the German army.

At the age of 49, Rommel participated in the invasion of France as commander of the 7th Panzer Division, and the following year he was promoted to lieutenant general and appointed commander-in-chief of the German African Army, where he went to Libya to assist Italy in counterattacking the British.

It was only after arriving in the North African theater that Rommel reached the pinnacle of his military career. In March, Rommel commanded the North African Corps to capture the port of Brega. In April, he captured Ajdabiya and Mekili; In May, the British army's plan for "short operation" was thwarted; In June, Operation Tomahawk, which severely damaged the British army; It was also in this month that Leng Mo, who had been promoted to lieutenant general for less than four months, was promoted to general and appointed commander of the German "African Panzer Army".

In 1942, Rommel was 51 years old. In January of that year, he launched a counterattack against the British army at Ajdabiya and won a resounding victory. At the same time, despite Mussolini's orders, he fought back, recaptured Benghazi, and was promoted to army standard general by virtue of his military merits. In May, Rommel's troops launched an offensive on the Kazara Line west of Tobruk and captured Tobruk. In June, Rommel was promoted to field marshal by Hitler just five months after his promotion to the standard general of the army.

Rommel, now 53, was appointed commander-in-chief of Army Group B on the Western Front by Hitler, mainly responsible for blocking the Allied landings on the Western Front.

People who don't know Rommel think that he is an unscrupulous Nazi officer, but Chen Feng knows that Rommel is not a foolish person, in the early days of the Third Reich, Rommel passionately praised Hitler's "great feats", but from 1943, Rommel has become one of the few senior officers in the Wehrmacht who dared to speak out to the Führer about the deteriorating situation, and after the surrender of Italy, Rommel became Hitler's most dangerous opponent.

Chen Feng knew that Rommel was a man who put the interests of the country above all else, while Hitler wanted to let the German army fight to the last man, and he wanted to put the individual above the country. To bring the whole of Germany to ruin. Now Rommel and others are planning an operation against Hitler, the purpose of which is to kill Hitler and let go of the entire Western Front to end this damned war once and for all.

However, Chen Feng also knew that the final result of this operation was a failure, and in the end many high-ranking German generals and officers were implicated, including Rommel, and finally Rommel was killed.

All Chen Feng had to do was contact Rommel before the operation began, and cooperate with him to ensure that the assassination operation would kill with one blow. Even if he could not succeed in assassinating Hitler, he had to save Rommel's life. This could greatly divide the German army and speed up the course of the war. But all of this is premised on Rommel's willingness to work with them.

To be honest, Chen Feng is not too sure that he can move Rommel, after all, which German field marshal opposed Hitler and wanted Hitler to step down, not to make Germany a defeated country.

But the elder William gave Chen Feng a surprise, he told Chen Feng that his son was once a comrade-in-arms with Rommel, and served as an infantry battalion commander under Rommel. The two of them are very good both in business and in personal relationships. He was sure that Chen Feng's men would come into contact with Rommel, and at the same time, he believed that Rommel would agree to cooperate with the Allies. With William Sr.'s assurance, Chen Feng directly sent a team of Jewish special combat soldiers to Europe.

Just as Chen Feng was in contact with Rommel, the Japanese side's preparations for a decisive battle on the mainland were also coming to an end. May 5, Showa 19 (1944). The headquarters was reorganized in the command organization of the domestic forces: the backbone of the domestic ground forces, the Eastern Army, the Central Army, the Western Army, and the 10th Flying Division (Tokyo), the 18th Flying Regiment (Osaka), and the 19th Flying Regiment (Kitakyushu) of the Domestic Defense Aviation Forces, were reorganized under the Commander-in-Chief of Defense. Defence matters are under the command of the Commander of the 1st Air Army.

At the same time, General Minoru Higashikunomiya Minoru was appointed as Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense, Senior General Keisuke Fujie as Commander of the Eastern Army, Senior General Okamura Ninji as Commander of the Central Army, General Yanshunroku as Commander of the Western Army, General Toshiichi Terauchi as Commander of the Tokyo Garrison, General Shozo Kawabe as Commander of the Reserve Army, Major General Kihachiro Yoshida as Commander of the 10th Flying Division, Major General Kumao Kitajima as Commander of the 18th Flying Division, Major General Kenzo Furuya as Commander of the 19th Flying Division, and Lieutenant General Li Wangyin as Commander of the 1st Air Force

On the same day, in conjunction with the above changes, the base camp issued an order. The main tasks of the units under the General Defense Command were clarified: "First of all, it was clearly stipulated that the Commander-in-Chief of the Defense should cooperate with the Navy to rapidly strengthen combat readiness and assume the task of defending the Imperial Land. Secondly, the area defended by the Commander-in-Chief of Defense and the area of operation of the 5th Front Army was divided into the Tsugaru Strait, and the Tsugaru Strait and the Tsugaru Fortress Zone in Aomori Prefecture belonged to the 5th Front. The boundary between the defense area and the Taiwan Army's combat area as the commander-in-chief of the defense is 122 degrees 30 minutes east longitude. ”

On 6 May, the General Defense Command submitted the "Outline of Defense Operations," which had been drawn up long ago, to the base camp and requested that the final operational arrangements be made in accordance with the outline. According to this "Outline of Defense Operations," the Japanese army clearly defined the primary task of defense by smashing the enemy's air raids, focused on aviation, and quickly completed preparations for air defense operations. secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the combat readiness of the islands in the open sea to guard against surprise attacks and attacks by the enemy, and at the same time prepare for the offensive posture in important areas of the Japanese mainland as soon as possible. When the enemy invades, seize the opportunity to concentrate ground and air forces, and in particular, concentrate the combat strength of the air force as much as possible to defeat them.

The base camp quickly approved this "Outline of Defensive Operations" and asked all units to move and arrange positions on this basis.

On 9 May, the Defense General Headquarters issued an order: "The Eastern Army, with its aviation units under its command, including 800 aircraft and anti-aircraft artillery units that are on air defense duty at any time, is mainly responsible for covering the political, strategic, strategic, and production centers of the Keihin area headed by the Imperial Palace." In addition, part of the force was deployed in Tachikawa, Ota, Hitachi, Kamaishi, etc., to cover the production facilities in the area. In addition, the coastal defense of the 24 divisions led by the 1st Konoe Division first rapidly strengthened the combat readiness of the Izu Islands, and then strengthened the combat readiness of important areas near the Hachinohe Plain, Sendai Plain, Mito Plain, Boso Peninsula, and Sagami Plain, with a focus on the Izu Islands, Hachinohe Plain, and Boso Plain. ”

"The Central Army, with its aviation units and anti-aircraft artillery units under its command, mainly covered production facilities in Nagoya, Hitohata, Kyoto, and other places. The 36 divisions, with the 33rd and 55th Infantry Divisions as the backbone, were responsible for coastal defense of important areas near the Hamamatsu Plain, Toyohashi Plain, Kii Plain, and Kochi Plain, with a focus on the Hamamatsu Plain. In addition, it is ready to transfer 5 divisions elsewhere at any time. ”

"The Western Army, with its aviation units and anti-aircraft artillery units under its command, is mainly responsible for covering important production facilities in the Kurahata area. In addition, some troops were deployed in Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Omuta, and other places to cover production facilities in the region. In addition, 41 divisions were assigned to the coastal defense, first rapidly strengthening the combat readiness of the southwestern islands, and then strengthening the combat readiness of Tanegashima, Miyazaki Plain, Kaya Plain, and important areas near the Satsuma Peninsula, with emphasis on the southwestern islands and the Miyazaki plain. Also be prepared to be able to reinforce 4 divisions in the event of an invasion of the southwestern islands. ”

"The General Reserve Army should assemble and train the country's soldiers in the countryside in the shortest possible time, and be ready to reinforce all battlefields at any time."

"The 1st Air Force worked closely with the Navy to command the 5th Flying Regiment to annihilate enemy aircraft carriers when enemy mobile forces attacked; When the enemy invades, the main thing is to annihilate the enemy transport. ”
