Several other tanks crushed the unsuspecting 92 Rifle gun group under the tracks from the rear. Due to the noisy gunfire on the battlefield, the Japanese troops in front did not even notice the attack from behind. This allowed the infantry in the rear of the tank column to catch up, line up and throw themselves into battle. This team was equipped with a lot of automatic weapons, which were far more suitable for jungle combat than Japanese rifles. They cooperated with tanks to strafe the Japanese from the rear, eliminating the positions of machine guns and grenadiers of 92 that were well hidden in front of them.

When the gunfire behind them rang off like fried beans, the Japanese army realized that something was wrong, but by this time the back road had been completely cut off. The Japanese heavy machine gun positions were well built, they covered all the soil from the trenches in front, and used the sapper shovels to install machine gun racks, but this also made them unable to even turn the muzzle of the gun 180 degrees, they could not even organize effective firepower for a while, and the backwardness of communication made each Japanese army have to fight on its own. The two Japanese squadrons in front had already rushed out with the troops in front, and they were now completely exposed to the open ground. The Chinese quickly seized the well-constructed Japanese bunkers and took over several Japanese heavy machine-gun positions, where they found that they could beat the charging Japanese from behind.

The T26 charged out from behind the Japanese, and their priority was the Japanese tanks ahead. Chu Aiyun didn't have time to contact the British on the other side, but it was not very likely that he would be injured by mistake depending on the situation, because the British in front of him had lost their armor and had no firepower to shoot at this side.

T26 began to roll call from behind, firing Japanese tanks with its main guns. These tanks were heavy weapons that were sent ashore by the Japanese headquarters, which hesitated again and again, sacrificing about 2 million catties of food and ammunition to carry them, but they were just beginning to play their role and were eliminated.

Almost nowhere in the rear of the 95 tank was armor more than a centimeter thick. Tankers can easily destroy by changing their outfits*. Out of hatred for the Japanese, Chinese tankers usually made up one or two shots after the breakdown*. And no Japanese colleague will be allowed to climb out alive, unless he is already on fire when he gets out of the tank.

General Alexander crouched in the command and got up with his bleeding forehead covered. He saw that the Japanese tanks were less than 100 meters away from him. Shooting at trucks lined up and unable to move. There were 2-pounder anti-tank guns, an anti-tank weapon, hanging from the back of the trucks, but the soldiers on board had long since fled.

The attack was somewhat fortuitous, and the enemy did not recognize the command here, but the blow destroyed the communications equipment. Now he doesn't even have the ability to call for help, so he can only pray that God will be on his side. Perhaps in Dunkirk, Hitler wanted to save face for the British Empire out of political considerations; But now the enemy he is facing has no such intentions.

He grabbed Anderson from the side, ready to slip outside. But he was held down by Anderson.

"Commander, something doesn't seem right."

"You must see, the Japanese are retreating."

"What?"

Alexander picked up the telescope from the ground with the broken objective lens.

Through a rift, he saw the grinning Japanese firing back blankly, but they were in the open, being knocked down like mowing grass by the relentless fire from behind, while at the same time, the battlefield was burning with about 10 Japanese tanks.

Something must have happened in about 1 minute since he fainted?

A P40 fighter swooped down in the sky, and the pilot opened the hatch and threw a * into the jungle. And flew away.

"It was the Americans who saved us?"

The general asked himself, and at the moment he only saw a few P40s hovering in the air.

"No, it's a Soviet tank. Look there. ”

With the direction of Anderson's finger, several tanks rushed out of the jungle, one of which was hit by * and was burning, although it was tightly wrapped in branches, but the special turret shape of the T26 still made Anderson, who had spent 10 years studying Soviet military recognizable.

"It's the Chinese army."

"The Chinese saved me? I thought they weren't coming. ”

Rabaul, New British Isles. Asano was standing at the window of the luxurious reception room, overlooking the harbor outside, but unfortunately the majestic warships were gone, and only a few destroyers were left in the harbor, and some seaplanes were taking off and landing.

Here he waited for Yamamoto Isoroku, because the commander had given him a chance to meet, so that he would continue to sell him proudly, abandoning his plans of attack on the Solomon Islands, Samoa, and Fiji, and attacking Australia instead, hoping to convince the commander by his incorruptible tongue that Australia, though large and probably heavily defended, had a long coastline and was not inaccessible.

The place where he now stands was once the Governor's Palace built by the Germans, and after the First World War, Australia was entrusted by the British to send officials here, and three weeks ago, the Japanese army landed here without much effort. The current war is going well, the Japanese are advancing in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, and many islands, including Kuah, are currently completely undefended by the Allies, but these cheap places will become meat grinders in the future, and the Japanese will miss a brief opportunity to attack really important targets.

He believes he can turn things around, and thanks to a dear friend like Masanobu Tsuji, his ambition has been realized. It made him feel that his obedience to Makino in the previous months was simply a waste of time.

Although Masanobu Tsuji did not hold a high official position, he could skillfully exert influence within the command structure of the Japanese army, and he was even more in charge than many lieutenant generals.

The reports he submits at his base camp can even influence the highest decision-making. For example, at the Imperial Council, Tojo got carried away and proposed that the army might begin to be dismantled, but it was rejected by the latest report of Chief of Staff Sugiyama from the base camp.

The contents of this report are all true, but it is not from the intelligence service but from Asano's dictation, and only a person as bold as Masanobu Tsuji dares to cram such unverified things into the report.

The report shows that the United States is actively engaged in a general war, and Japan must not disarm at this time, but on the contrary, it should immediately begin to expand its army and expand its army divisions to 200.

The report clearly reflects Asano's thinking, and of course, he stands at the height of history and can indeed effectively compensate for the short-sightedness of the Japanese decision-makers.

The report notes that the United States has begun construction of warships at shipyards on the east and west coasts at the same time, and that the construction period for those large warships, plus training and outfitting, will take 13 to 14 months. At some point in early 1943, these warships would be launched in a concentrated manner, but until then, the Japanese stock would remain a huge and unshakable advantage. It must be taken into account that Japan has already consumed 4 months, and the remaining time is crucial.

Tojo later carefully read the report, and on the surface he was reluctant to immediately enter into a general warfare system, which was contrary to his promise to the emperor that the Americans would give in because of the crushing defeat, but after seeing the various figures provided by Asano, he was determined to also start a general warfare, which meant immediate resource looting from the various occupied areas and extensive conscription from within the country.

Masanobu Tsuji walked through the door, holding a telegram in his hand.

"Asano-kun, the situation in Myanmar is not good."

"What's going on?"

"You said that in history Alexander would have fled, and we added a division to the troops, and he still escaped."

"This can't be?" Asano scratched his head, "Alexander's memoirs clearly say that if there was one more squadron of Japanese troops encircling him, he would definitely not be able to break through?" ”

"Memoirs are such an exaggeration, right?"

The door opened again, and this time Onishi Takijiro came in, pretending to trot like an old friend, and came all the way to shake hands with Asano.

"Ahaha, sure enough, everything is as you said, the war is going well everywhere, we are in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, fighting the American and British fleets in all directions."

"How's the radio code thing?" Asano asked about it.

"Is this the case?" "The original plan was to change the key once a month, but now that the fleet is scattered in such a vast area, it is difficult to achieve this. ”

"Did the submarine I mentioned last time sink?"

"Yi 124? It's really right, it sank near Darwin, Australia last month, and the time and place are quite consistent, by the way, why didn't you propose to change the transfer at that time, so maybe the boat wouldn't have been sunk, and it wouldn't have caused the cipher machine to be lost. ”

"Because it's only a matter of time before the Americans crack our code, I need history to change within a controllable range, and come to think of it, we can just fish with this. Draw the main American fleet to ...... Why didn't Commander Yamamoto come? ”

"He's delayed, and he'll be tomorrow, but he's rekindled his enthusiasm for your plan to attack Australia, for most of your predictions about the outcome of the naval battle have come true."

"How's going on in Germany?"

"Well, you're absolutely right, they admit that they are working on the design of several special weapons, and they agree to share some of the drawings and offer to exchange the captured British radar and some gold bars. At present, U-boats have been used, and drawings of pulse engines and 4 prototypes have been provided, as well as some drawings of this unmanned aerial vehicle in the design; It's just that the gyro autopilot part is still hidden and not given, they say that this is the core technology, and it is not suitable to provide it for the time being. ”

"Hehe, the autopilot part is complete waste, they keep it for themselves."

"Oh?"

"What the Germans wanted, in fact, was a '*' capable of flying over the English Channel to strike London on its own, a completely immature weapon that would only exert formidable power once manned."

"What do you mean ......"

"Yes, the last time we mentioned using a Zero fighter to bring 250 kg* to hit is too childish, you should use those weapons with strong penetration ability, armor protection, and great power. Of course, it had to be redesigned. ”

"Well, I thought about this proposal, and it is indeed a very practical weapon."

Masanobu Tsuji was waiting impatiently on the side, and interjected.

"What about Burma?"

"I think that the Southern Agency and Major General Kagesa Zhenzhao will have a way, and it is not only the German * technology that will be transported with that U-boat, but also an important Indian, who will be the key person to untie the knot. I hope that a new organization will be set up outside the base camp to be used exclusively for India's strategic warfare, and this is also the original idea of Major General Kagesa's visit to Burma. ”
