Chapter 782 into Tibet

Britain and the United States are the sea lords, and when they learned that Italy had a large number of new warships, they were all worried. You must know that the Mediterranean Sea, that is the territory of the Italian navy, their naval strength is not weak, once it expands, the surrounding British colonies will not be able to restrain it, so they will leave the Mediterranean Sea and enter the Atlantic, in that way, there will be an unimaginable crisis.

The most important thing is that they are close to Germany, and Germany's actions have always been to overthrow the order of World War I, which has to make Britain and the United States vigilant.

Press them, these powers are not mentioned. Japan kept a lower profile after the British and American fleets left the Korean waters. The strength of the Korean Peninsula is less than two divisions, and the elite have all gone to Taiwan and have not returned to the mainland.

They knew that in the face of the offensive of the advance army of a strong enemy, several hundred kilometers of land was not enough for two days and three days to attack. The underground bunkers they had spent a lot of money to build did not survive three days in the hands of the advance army, which undoubtedly showed that they had nothing to fight against the advance army, and with the current civil bunkers, it was even more useless.

In addition to licking their wounds, they will have a reason to reassure the people in the country, and they don't want another big war here. Although the negotiations were over, and Hatoyama Keitaro led the team back to Taiwan, they were unconventional on the Korean Peninsula, lest they provoke the advance army.

On the other hand, the advance army, which was in the defensive line with guns and cannons every day, was nervous for several days, and the Japanese were finally immune to these panic-causing sounds, and the advance army was training its troops, training with a large number of bullets and shells.

Indeed, at this time, the advance army did not give up training, Dong Kuzhi said that although it was victorious, the war was not over yet, and he did not know how many Japanese troops were left close to Lhasa. The Japanese mainland did not fall, that is certain. Therefore, he will continue to train his troops and prepare for the war in the future.

This time, he recruited more than 300,000 recruits, and training became the main task during this time. Sun Tao's army was still training at full capacity in the mountains and forests that were about to be civilized, and was still preparing to track down the main force of the Japanese army that had fled into Tibet. Straight there. Recruits and veterans have already increased their training in beach-grabbing, and although this will not yet be civilized, there are many currents around it, and it is a good place to train landing operations.

At the same time, after completing the construction of transport and supply lines, Mozhgen had returned to the Ural Mountains to prepare for the defense of Soviet Russia after the upcoming civilization. More than half of Dogdan's army are recruits. This will also be in full swing of training, so that although these recruits have not experienced the war, their personal qualities are changing to that of soldiers.

At the same time, Zhao Liqiang was still recruiting troops in Shanghai, recruiting students and young men with a water-based foundation for the Marine Corps, and sending them to Crescent Island and Pontianak. Give it to Li Rongbin and Mengzi.

In the Guannei, Lao Zhao, Huang Baitao and Zhang Zizhong are in Shandong. Shanxi, the power of the dogs and teeth is staggered, but there is nothing to do. One of the reasons is that the advance army has already made it clear to Lao Jiang that there are also Japanese troops fleeing from Shanxi, and they will enter the pass at any time to pursue and suppress this Japanese army. And the garrison and Shenyang are around, ready to enter the customs at any time.

Again, the weapons that the United States gave to Lao Chiang will be doing adaptation training, especially tanks and armored vehicles, as well as a large number of aircraft. These have to be trained. This will not be absorbed into their own, so Zhang Zizhong, Huang Baitao, and Du Yuming are very stable, and even Yan Laoxi returned to Shanxi, but also stepped up the restoration of the old factory and resumed the previous weapon production, without squeezing out the old Zhao Shilu in the territory.

The people in the country have also slowly recovered their surplus goods in the joy of victory, and everything seems to be over, and they no longer have to worry about the loss of the country, and they don't have to worry about the war.

In the midst of these calm surfaces, the Japanese army from Shanxi finally arrived in Lhasa.

At this point, less than 300,000 of the 400,000 Japanese troops were still combat-effective, and nearly 50,000 of them had pulmonary edema, cerebral edema and other symptoms. Given the current level of medical care, they have a 60 percent chance of dying, or little hope.

Those puppet soldiers, although they were not all regarded as laborers like traitors, were also laborers in this team, and no one had to carry double guns and ammunition, resulting in more than 300,000 puppet troops, only less than 150,000 could still walk, so to speak, corpses were everywhere along the way.

On the contrary, these officers, because of their duties, did not carry weapons and heavy objects, although they were also on foot, but they met the elements of the movement on the plateau at the beginning of the year, did not exert force, did not exercise vigorously, and slowly adapted, so that the loss of the officers was very small.

Before arriving in Lhasa, the Japanese exchanged fire with the local Tibetans several times, but all the slaughter along the way did not hinder the speed of the march.

The weapons of those Tibetans were backward, how could the foreign artillery knives resist the Japanese troops with machine guns and grenadiers? After the Japanese entered Lhasa all the way, they gave up resistance.

Hideki Tojo and Seishiro Itagaki were generals who knew China well before they arrived in Lhasa. At the front, the Tibetan armed forces are on standby, and there is a great tendency to fight to the death.

They knew that their arrival would be ostracized, but Hideki Tojo didn't know how to plan except for being arbitrary and brutal, he still had a bit of brainpower, especially since there were so many treacherous and cunning generals around.

So, stopping moving forward and negotiating instead is the best way for them to lick their wounds. Although the poorly armed Tibetans could not stop their killing, it was difficult for the soldiers to even run, and the battle was equally hard.

The most important thing is that they need to rest, they don't want to fight continuously when they are exhausted, and they don't want to consume their precious ammunition because of the resistance here. They had no supplies, so they had to avoid fighting as much as possible, or they would lose one bullet if they were missing.

Seishiro Itagaki, the Chinese expert and the maker of 918, led half of the division into Shanxi, defeated more than 30 divisional Class A war criminals, and after finding Tibetans who could speak Chinese, he personally went to Lhasa to meet the 14th Dalai Lama.

The Tibetans were armed with serf owners, some of whom had obsolete weapons from Soviet Russia or India, but also machine guns and long guns. When they saw mortars, machine guns, mountain guns, field guns, 92 infantry guns, and glittering bayonets, they knew that with their strength, it would be difficult to resist this force.

When they saw that the other side did not attack, they chose to see the messenger instead of going to war.

The 14th Dalai Lama had not yet succeeded to the throne of the Living Buddha at this time, but was only a reincarnated spirit child, and he was only two or three years old.

Seishiro Itagaki, who also studied Buddhism, saw that the Dalai Lama did not despise him because he was a child, which also reassured the lamas in the temple, although they heard about the evil deeds of the Japanese army entering Tibet, but they saw the Japanese army with their own eyes, but did not launch an attack, but chose to negotiate, which made him believe in the sincerity of the Japanese army.

As a result, the Japanese soldiers entered Lhasa without bloodshed, and successively responded to the follow-up troops, and began to build factories in this area, explore mineral deposits, and strive to resume the production of weapons as soon as possible.

After being able to occupy Tibet easily, the Japanese army did not exploit those serf owners, they adopted a policy of gentleness, and on the fifth day of entering Lhasa, they slowly began to recruit the people as puppet soldiers, and at the same time recuperate and recuperate, they formed their own Tibetan puppet army to prepare for the governance of Tibet.

When the British learned in southern Tibet that the Japanese army had fled to Tibet, they were shocked and transferred heavy troops there to arrange a defensive line. They didn't want the Japanese army to enter India from here, that would be a disaster for India.

At the same time, they sent envoys to Lhasa to meet with the top brass of the Japanese army, to find out if they had any ideas about their real purpose.

Although it is impossible to get an answer to this, the British still know the reason, that is, the Japanese army did not have the confidence to cross the hinterland of the Central Plains and leave China, avoiding the encirclement of the advance army, so they retreated and chose to gain a firm foothold in Tibet, taking advantage of the steep territory and the bad environment here to block the pursuit of the advance army, retain the elite, and then plan later.

At the same time that the British got the answer, Dong Ku also knew that the Japanese army had entered Tibet safely, and the information collected by the Huya soldiers showed that they had all entered the hinterland of Tibet, and there were not many Japanese troops left along the way.

But they could not enter the city, and they did not understand Tibetan, so they could not listen to the news, but they only caught a few Japanese tongues and a few puppet soldiers, and learned the general situation, so they avoided the densely populated area of Lhasa, hid in the mountains, and relied on hunting to ensure the supply of food, waiting for further orders from Dong Ku.

When Dong Ku learned where the Japanese army actually started to build a factory, he couldn't help but move. If the Japanese army gains a foothold there, it will indeed be difficult to clean it up, but since it has a foothold and it is still in the country, it can be done to encircle and annihilate this Japanese army without being noticed by other countries.

After all, having a foothold means that they won't run away. Dong Kuke really didn't want to chase the Japanese army all over the mountains.

He called Zuo Boyang and Liu Zhong, pointed to the map and said: "The Japanese army occupies Tibet, we must prepare for encirclement and suppression, the time is ready within a month, you see, this is the position of the Japanese army, this is the position of the dog's army, we will attack in two ways and encircle and annihilate this Japanese army in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yes, the army of dogs is not far from the Japanese army, and the Japanese army may not know that our troops are so close there."

Dong Ku raised his head and looked at Liu Zhong, who was speaking, shook his head and said: "How can the Japanese army not know the road, it is estimated that they just think that we have to attack, it is a long way to go to Turpan, and it is difficult to travel through the mountains, which is conducive to their defense, and doing homework is the strength of the Japanese."
