Zhou Youfu pinched the telegram and couldn't help but exclaim, he had just observed the new enemy situation here, and was still thinking about how to describe it to Shizuo in the form of a telegram, but he didn't expect that Shizuo already had a corresponding strategy there? Even if it is a half-immortal body, it is difficult to anticipate the enemy's opportunities everywhere, the division seat is obviously a whole immortal, and the enemy commander knows what shit before he pouts his ass?

Of course, this kind of play is unheard of by him, but since it was instructed by Chu Tingchang, it is obviously effective. He hurriedly let the following prepare, and he was not in a hurry, and waited until tomorrow morning to launch an attack.

Bai Qi paced back and forth in the headquarters, listening to the explosions outside. He could tell that it was his own side that was carrying out the explosion, and that the enemy did not attack rashly, and it seemed that the Chinese army had given him a night of precious time to carefully deploy the last of his forces. The bad news, of course, was that the transport ship on which the main force of the 24th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was closest to him was sunk 60 kilometers from the coast, which was just confirmed by naval seaplanes. He had already sent ships in the harbor to save people, and he could catch as much as he could, but of course all the weapons were lost.

Bai Qiman now has only more than 4,000 troops in his hands, and there are more than 2,000 people in the division and regiment headquarters, engineers, baggage, artillery and Nanhai detachments, plus puppet troops and military police, and more than 1,000 patients in the hospital. If it weren't for dysentery a while ago, he really wouldn't have been able to get together so many people.

Of course, it is obviously very difficult to defend such a large city with some troops, so I hope it can be delayed as long as possible and see what can be done by the superiors. The worst plan is, of course, to commit suicide by seppuku, and he has thought of the place where he committed suicide, right on the balcony of the Doge's Palace, where the light is best and the place is spacious.

Pu Jie and Li Zhen became brothers and sisters, and the two of them walked around outside the chaotic command room, and the Japanese staff officers burned documents here, and they didn't care about them, and the two of them sighed in turn.

"Brother Li, I was ordered by the emperor's brother to have no choice, why did you say you came?"

"Isn't it President Wang's appoint? What can I do, I am simply transferred from the front line of Jiangsu's suppression of the Communist Party. This thing is also strange, the Japanese win battles everywhere, why do I have to lose the battle when I come? ”

"Who's to say it's not? When he came, the royal brother also said that if the East Indies were conquered in July, New Delhi would be taken by the end of the year. Since then, the pattern of mutual friendship between the four major powers of Asia, Manchuria, Japan, China and India has been formed. ”

"And what are your plans?"

"What else can I do? I can only hope that the Japanese will hold ......"

"If that day comes, I think we'll surrender to the British?"

As he was talking, he saw a captain stumbling down the aisle with a bandage on his head and hands. It seems to be someone from the 24th Brigade who just fished up.

Captain Hatama of the 138th Infantry Brigade was the supreme commander of the 24th Brigade who survived after the British air raid sank the transport ship. He was rescued by a pilot ship, and he didn't have time to rest, so he came to report to Bai Qi.

Pushing open the door and seeing Senior Bai Qi, the captain walked over with tears in his eyes, stretched out his right hand with only three fingers left and saluted.

"The captain of the 24th Brigade below the 138th Brigade reports for duty."

"Captain Hama, how many troops are there?"

"I have two battalions of 138.140, and I owe one squadron each when I board, with a total number of 1,600 people, and now ...... Only 96 people remained. Weapons, all lost. ”

The captain said the pain, and began to cry.

"Captain, there's no time for you to rest, you have seen the situation, and you must immediately enter the battle."

"I understand, these British and American ghost animals, even if I fight for this life, I will never spare them."

The captain left, this is the only reinforcement Bai Qi got today, he quickly ordered to smash the warehouse of the Indian 3rd Division, originally those rotten guns captured in Singapore were used to arm the locals, now hurry up and arm the Japanese army.

The drone stared at the dynamics of the entire battlefield, and it could be seen that the Indian army was retreating towards Kolkata, and the marching army was still very neat, as if it had returned victorious, and it was obvious that the Indian soldiers did not know that the entire battlefield had completely reversed its form.

At this time, the main force of Chu Tingchang was facing the counterattack of the remnants of the 18th Division, and these scattered Japanese were starved and only had half a life left, knowing that there was no chance to turn the tables, they were determined to rush out and fight hard, and the counterattack was particularly fierce. It was clear that the battle here was nearing its end, but he had no spare forces to stop the Indians, so he could only send a telegram to Vivier, asking him to be sure to entangle the enemy and not interfere with the battle of Calcutta.

Uncharacteristically, Vivier proudly agreed. He dispatched all the mobile units below the 4th Army and ordered the air force to carry out constant attacks on the Indian army. Whatever this reversal had been, he saw that the Japanese army in the East Indies was about to fall, and in any case, when the city was broken, he had to have a force near Calcutta. This is far more important than 17 tonnes of gold. He is a little short-sighted in the war, but he has a long-term view of politics.

Nobusuke Kishi's residence in Tokyo. Ishihara hurriedly entered through a small door on one side, and when he entered, he deliberately looked around and did not find a stalk. He came to the emergency meeting from Yamaguchi Prefecture, and Sato called him to inform him that the situation in India was not good. This is, of course, an inside source heard from a military meeting of the Cabinet, which is completely unknown to the outside world, and if you just read the newspapers, the Indian campaign is not too far from a complete victory. When Ishihara got off the train at Tokyo Station, he was still lit up everywhere. As Tojo prepared to convene the Greater East Asia Conference ahead of schedule, the flags of the puppet regimes under Japanese control were hoisted on the roads, and the addition of Indian and New Guinea flags made the people excited, believing that the myth of the invincibility of the Imperial Army continued.

The room was filled with a gloomy mist, and most of the people were shaking their heads. Only Makino didn't care too much, the situation was diametrically opposed to half a year ago, when he begged not to go to war, and the rest of the people were noncommittal.

On the one hand, he expected that Asano's strategy of unlimited expansion was not a good medicine to save Japan at all, and he was mentally prepared; On the other hand, his autopilot and radio control technology have been proven, and they will soon be used in new weapons based on the V1*. His design of a companion command instrument was also a success. This set of command instruments can be installed in the front machine gun tower of the bomber, and the sighter can use optics or a collimator to observe* the rear tracer tube, and continuously measure the firing command to correct the deviation, so that it is always aimed at the target. This is an early guided weapon of man in the loop, the restrictions are great, firstly, the visual distance limits the range of attack, and secondly, it is easy to be jammed using radio amplitude modulation signals, but it is already good for this era, at least there is no need to hit it with people. As for when it will mature, I can't say for sure. Of course, there is also a limitation that it cannot be used on carrier-based aircraft, and at the moment the carrier-based version is still a manned type, and several destroyers are being refitted and can be launched directly from the ship.

Seeing 10 o'clock, Sato didn't announce the meeting for a long time, who seems to be waiting for? Someone was impatient and inquired, saying that Kagesa Zhenzhao might be there, but he might not have time to arrive, because he was still in the army province and seemed to be being scolded.

At 11 o'clock, Nobusuke Kishi answered another phone call, and he hung up the phone with a dead face, and everyone looked at each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the latest news is that the battleship Hiei has been sunk, and the Navy believes that the battle for India may be lost." He paused, "However, according to the Ministry of War, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory." Kimura is discussing a sortie from Chin State in Burma to directly support the Indian coast with two divisions. ”

"Kimura, this fool." Ishihara said disdainfully, "The battle for India has been lost. Long before planning this meaningless battle, it was already lost. The navy is half-hearted, and the army completely ignores logistics, and it is strange not to lose the war. Attacking by land was the stupidest plan I'd ever heard. ”

Nobusuke Kishi turned to Makino: "Makino-kun, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

"Asano is unlearned, and his strategy can only make Japan lose even more. The only thing that can save Japan is technology. My remote control*, which is already being assembled, is expected to be ready for combat soon. ”

"But that kind of thing, it can't be used in land warfare, what is the current situation in India?"

"Land warfare is not needed, land warfare, you can only count on nuclear weapons, I suggest that if the sea conditions improve this month, priority should be given to salvaging nuclear materials. As well as production heap drawings and equipment. The periphery of the equipment Imperial is already being prepared. It's up to you to catch something. ”

"Does that stuff work? It's hard to imagine that there is such a powerful *. Ishihara said with his hands crossed.

"Of course. If there is no miscalculation, the United States will build 8 graphite water-cooled production reactors next year. In '44, we had to be ready for the first batch of nuclear material. ”

"I heard in the morning that the Germans were also defeated?" Sato chimed in.

"It is not unexpected, and those who will only start wars and will not end them will inevitably face the situation getting out of control and eventually failing." Ishihara Road.

"And your suggestion?"

"Will the Army listen to me?"

"I'll have a meeting with Director Muto Akira tomorrow about having production, so maybe I can mention it to him."

"If you want me to say, immediately withdraw the military forces, and don't want northern Burma either. Since the key to Myanmar lies in ports like Yangon and Sittwe, other places can do without. ”

"But this still can't strangle China?"

"Too many people in history wanted to strangle China at once, where are they now?"

"This ......"

"The Chinese forces have entered India, and as soon as we withdraw, Chiang Kai-shek will send more troops into northern Burma, so that their contradictions with the British will appear. The British would do everything possible to block the Chinese army's southward movement, and without spending a single soldier, a stalemate would arise, which would help the army to complete its plan of 200 new divisions. Tojo, the bald man, rushed to war without mobilization at all, which is simply a joke. ”

The servant knocked on the door and entered, followed by a tired Shadow Akira.

He had attended the earliest meetings of the Army Medical School and knew most of the people here, so he nodded and sat down.

"Mr. Kagesa, I am talking about the situation in India. What do you think? Kishi said.

"Don't talk about it, I have more important things to say."

"What could be more important than India's defeat?"

"Yes, I have come all the way back to report this to you."

"Then please speak quickly."

Kagesa turned to Makino with a solemn expression.

"What if...... I mean, if the three of you aren't the only ones crossing over, can you believe it? ”

"Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Makino replied, not looking surprised at all.
