On the Eastern Front, the Burmese army broke through the Japanese defense line and captured the northeastern Malayan city of Pasir Maz in two days, and the Japanese had to retreat completely, one brigade was completely annihilated, one brigade was disabled, and the other two brigades withdrew to Kota Balu after the Burmese army captured Pasir Mas, preparing to defend to the death. On the third day, the Burmese army assembled 300 artillery pieces, 60 tanks, 50 warplanes, bombers, and an integrated division to launch a fierce assault on the Japanese-occupied Kota Bharu. On the first day of the battle, the Burmese army attacked the city of Kota Bharu at the cost of 458 casualties, and the Japanese army was attacked by the Burmese army's powerful firepower and suffered heavy casualties, so they had to shrink their defensive lines, and the remnants of the two brigades retreated to the city center to engage in street fighting with the Burmese army.

For two days in a row, the two sides engaged in fierce street fighting in the center of the city, and the bombers of the Burmese Air Force bombed the city center defended by the Japanese army into ruins, and countless Japanese soldiers were killed and buried alive. At 3 o'clock in the morning on March 21, the remnants of the Japanese army of more than 2,000 people received an order from the headquarters of the Southern Army to flee to the southern Pasir Fudi at night. On March 22, Jiang Qiang secretly arrived in Hat Yai City by special plane, and then took a car to the front line of the Western Front to inspect the battle situation. Except for the middle-level officers who had to go to the front line to command, other high-level officers accompanied Jiang Qiang to sit in the conference room of the underground air-raid shelter of the command post, drinking tea while waiting for the first battalion of the An Zhen Army to attack.

An hour had passed, and in the first trench of the forward position, the soldiers of the first regiment and one battalion of the 8th Division of the Burmese Army were ready, and everyone stood in the trench with rifles. An Zhen walked behind the soldiers with the chief of staff and a battalion commander, and said loudly as he walked: "Listen to me, the British fought for four days and four nights without fighting, which made the high-level angry, on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, our army occupied the northeastern coastal city of Kota Bharu in Malaya in only four days, but there was no step forward here, the news of Commander Jiang Qiang's inspection here, I think you have all heard about it, I won't say much, I just said one thing, an hour ago, Commander Jiang Qiang made a bet with the British commander General Resarridge that if a battalion could break through the Japanese defense line at one time, General Resarridge would apply to them for retirement at home, and then give us the Burma Command to be a groom, if we can't break through the Japanese defense line at one time, then Commander Jiang Qiang owes Resaric Jiang Jun a promise, who do you want to win and who lose? ”

All the soldiers shouted: "Commander, win!" "Good! If you want the commander to win, you must break through the Japanese position at one time, I will let artillery and heavy firepower support you, you can fight how you usually train, you must rush to the Japanese position for Lao Tzu to kill those dog-Japanese Japanese, those who retreat without an order, don't kill you, the overseer will kill you, do you understand? "Understood!"

An Zhen raised his hand and looked at his watch, and shouted, "Five minutes, you still have five minutes to adjust your state!" Chief of Staff, order the artillery unit to shell the Japanese position for five minutes, and after five minutes the cannon fodder extends, once the infantry of the first battalion launches an attack, the machine gun company, mortar company, and grenadier canisters all open fire, the commander of the first battalion, you must ensure that after the artillery fire is extended, the soldier at the front of the charge cannot be more than twenty meters away from the Japanese position, see the time, don't let the shells fall on your head! "The most difficult thing to grasp in infantry and artillery coordination is time, the soldiers who rush to the front can not be more than twenty meters away from the enemy's position, this is a very dangerous distance, as long as there is a little problem in time, I am afraid that the charging soldiers will be bombarded by their own shells.

The chief of staff and the commander of the first battalion stood up and saluted at the same time: "Yes, regimental seat!" The commander of the first battalion said: "Tuanzao, I ask to personally lead the charge of the team, if it is not successful this time, it will become a benevolent, if we can't rush to the Japanese position, then we will become a big joke, and the commander will lose face!" "According to the convention, to the level of the battalion commander, you don't need to personally lead the charge in person, this is also the rule of the Burmese army, the combat effectiveness of the combat group with the company as a unit is already very strong, the battalion commander only needs to command in the rear, but this time is unusual, this is the commander and the British generals bet, they die in battle is small, the commander is embarrassed, the commander is embarrassed, the commander is embarrassed, the whole country is lost, this responsibility is not borne by any of them.

An Zhen thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, you must be calm, even if there is an emergency, you must stabilize your position in time, except for not using tanks, we can use other equipment, if necessary, you can call at any time!" The commander of the first battalion saluted: "Yes, regimental seat!" ”

A minute had passed, the artillery group had fired, the overwhelming shells had fallen on the Japanese positions, and the Japanese front commander could see through the binoculars that the Allies were preparing to attack again, so he ordered the soldiers to take refuge in the anti-artillery holes. Before the start of the daytime battle, it is generally spoken by artillery, and then the infantry attack, in which heavy fire is fired to suppress enemy fire and relieve pressure on the attacking infantry.

Heavy machine guns and light machine guns are generally arranged on both flanks of the position, so that they can be fired diagonally to provide fire support for the attacking infantry, while grenadiers are generally arranged in the first-line trenches or following the rear of the attacking infantry, and the mortars are behind their own positions, which can fire at the enemy's position, but generally cannot hit the enemy's mortar position.

At the rear headquarters of the Japanese position, a Japanese herald ran into the headquarters and reported: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, this attack is not the British army, it is the people of China, the squadron leader asked me to report to you and ask for tactical guidance." The captain of the Japanese army hurriedly walked to pick up the telescope to observe, and said while looking: "Baga, the soft egg British can't beat our Imperial Japanese Army, so they called the people of the branch here, it's really hateful!" You can't use bayonet tactics to deal with the Chinese like you did with the British, if you are not careful, our position will be broken through by the Chinese this time, tell you squadron leader, you must withstand the Allied artillery fire, start shooting two hundred meters before the Chinese enter the position, you can't let them get close to the position, all the weapons are fired, and hit Ben Shaozuo hard! ”

"Hey!" The herald said yes, turned around and ran out. On the Allied position, calculating the time, the artillery fire would extend in two minutes, and the commander of a battalion looked at his watch and drew his pistol and said loudly: "The attacking troops are bayonets, loaded with bullets——, attack-" The infantry began to attack, the machine guns on both wings and the grenadiers in the trenches opened fire together, and the rear mortar company also began to shell the trenches at the forefront of the Japanese position.

After the first battalion of infantry attacked, the high-ranking Allied officers in the Allied command post in the rear felt very different from the Japanese commander in the Japanese command post in front. These infantry formed an attack triangle formation in small groups of three, and the distance between each group was irregular and scattered. In the first few hundred meters, all the infantry rushed quickly with their waists bent, but when they were about two hundred meters away from the Japanese position, there was a change, generally the front of the triangular group was a person holding a rifle and jumping forward, sometimes rolling on the ground, firing while moving, rushing a few meters quickly and then lying on the ground to fire at the Japanese soldiers on the Japanese position, and the two companions in the back quickly rushed forward with the same tactical action while firing, and then crossed the soldiers in front of him a few meters before stopping and lying on the ground to fire.

During this period, soldiers from other countries generally did not shoot at all when charging, because the shooting was not accurate, and only soldiers of the Burmese Liberation Army could do all kinds of tactical evasion maneuvers in rapid action and shoot at the target. "Oh my God, this tactical quality, I dare say that even the most elite troops of the Germans cannot catch up!" Resarridge exclaimed as he watched the charge of the 1st battalion with a telescope.

At this time, Jiang Qiang was also observing the situation on the position with a high-powered telescope, and the tactical quality of these soldiers was already in the category of special forces soldiers, which was much higher than that of other countries, and the training and research of tactical thinking and tactical movements were thirty or forty years more advanced than those of other countries. The Japanese army had already begun to shoot at the attacking infantry battalion with machine guns and grenadiers on the opposite side of the artillery fire, and at this time it was simply looking for death when they came out of the anti-artillery hole, and at this time it was the time when the Allied artillery fire and machine gun strafing were the most intensive, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties in a very short period of time, and there were constantly shells falling in the trenches and exploding, and a series of machine gun bullets were strafing over.

However, it was somewhat difficult for the Japanese soldiers of the first battalion to shoot and attack, because the soldiers of the first battalion were either lying on the ground and shooting, or they were constantly moving, and they were not moving in a straight line, and it was not easy to hit people and objects that did not move according to the rules.

As soon as the Japanese machine guns and grenadiers came out, they were taken care of by the heavy fire of the Allied positions, and they could not suppress the attacking infantry battalion.

The closer to the Japanese position, the casualties of the first battalion of infantry began to gradually increase, but no one would think about turning around and retreating, and the soldiers soon rushed to a place fifty meters away from the front line of the Japanese army.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom" A large number ......of Japanese soldiers were killed and blown unconscious, and there were no living Japanese defenders in some trenches, and a large number of mortars in the rear were subjected to curved artillery shelling, which the Japanese could not resist at all. Seeing that the soldiers of the first battalion were about to rush to the position, the commander of the Japanese position, the squadron commander, knew that it was certain that the position would be breached in this way, and the only way was to take the risk of engaging in a bayonet battle with the soldiers of the first battalion, hoping to drive the soldiers of the first battalion back.

"Kill, charge," the Japanese squadron leader pulled out his command knife and shouted and rushed out first, and the remaining Japanese soldiers also withdrew their bullets and rushed out. The soldiers at the front of the first battalion of infantry all sneered and began to strafe continuously, the Japanese did not expect that the soldiers of the first battalion would not follow the rules and would fight with bayonets, so why did they still shoot? The Japanese army can rush over less than 30 people, the two sides immediately fought hard, screams one after another, as soon as contact, the Japanese soldiers knew that the Burmese soldiers encountered this time were not at all comparable to the British, three people in a group of attack and defense, advance and retreat, only one platoon can deal with these remnants of the Japanese soldiers, the remaining hundreds of people all rushed into the Japanese trenches, began to attack the back line of defense along the communication trenches, at this time the artillery fire just began to extend, the Japanese positions behind were suddenly caught in artillery fire.

After the Burmese army broke through the Japanese defense line, more than 100,000 troops of the British Commonwealth member states drove straight into the northwest of Malaya, and the Japanese army hurriedly mobilized troops to block the torrent of the Allied attack, but the Japanese army lost air supremacy in Malaya, and the mobilized troops were bombed by the Allied bombers, and a large number of military supplies were blown up in the north of the road, resulting in the two Japanese front-line positions not having enough weapons and ammunition to supply.

The Allies' outstanding performance in the Second Battle of Malaya shocked the world, and the other neutral countries seemed to have seen the dawn of Allied victory, and many countries declared war on the Axis powers and announced their membership in the Allies.

In just two weeks, the Japanese army was defeated, in order to keep the viable force, the Japanese army began to shrink the defensive line, and withdrew most of the troops on the western front to the Yanpu and Hualing line, this front is on the same level as the border line between the state of Myanmar and the central border of Malaya, and on the eastern front, the Burmese army went all the way south along the Kelantan River, successively captured Tanah Merah and Kuala Jilai, and went straight to Bataan, the capital of Kelantan Province, all the way south along the east coast to capture the Brazilian rich land, Japan, Kampung Vulo, Kampung Meran, Even the important coastal port of Kuala Terengganu has been occupied, and Kampung Tanjung and Batu Raj are also in the hands of the Burmese army.

In order to salvage the erosion of the war, the Japanese army urgently recruited Malayan civilians in central and southern Malaya cities to build strong military fortifications to resist the fierce offensive of the Burmese army. The bones were piled up, and the Japanese brutally killed the frail civilians and buried them at the bottom of the fortifications as foundations.

By the beginning of April, on the Eastern Front, the Burmese army and the Japanese army were bounded by the Canu River, the Burmese army rested in the area north of the Ganu River, and the Japanese army accumulated strength in the area south of the Ganu River and built a large number of fortifications.

Subsequently, Jiang Qiang of Burma opened up a third battlefield and sent a small force to cross the north-south Central Mountains in the north-central region in turn to attack the Japanese troops in the city of Ding Mingge to the west of the Central Mountains. The Japanese barely resisted for a few days before they had to retreat to Yili. This is the Japanese army in the northwest of Malaya, in fact, the situation is already worrying, there are Allied forces in the north attacking, the Burmese army in the east has extended the attack force to Ngali, once Ngalik is lost. The Burmese army could attack Serama, Bali Bunta, and Kulim laterally. Then all the Japanese troops in northwestern Malaya would be in danger of being cut off at the rear. The only thing that can be done is to escape from the sea.

Japan wanted to fight Burma, Jiang Qiang beat the Japanese once, let the Japanese know that Burma is not easy to provoke, and then did not pursue, after the Japanese were beaten, they naturally would not touch this hard bone again, but to deal with the Yankees.

And the United States does not want to fight to the death with the Japanese, but the United States has deployed many naval ships in the North Atlantic to protect the shipping lanes between Britain and the United States, and if these ships are transferred to the Pacific Ocean, then the shipping lanes from the United States to Britain will not be guaranteed. Without the assistance of the United States, the British were afraid that they would not be able to hold out for a long time, and the whole of Europe would have been occupied by Germany, and without the small British island pulling its back legs, Germany could go all out against the Soviet Union, and it was only a matter of time before Germany dominated the world.

Therefore, the strength of the United States in the Pacific Ocean is not enough to confront Japan, and it can only use the Burmese country to fight to the death with the Japanese, Jiang Qiang will certainly not be so stupid to let the Americans watch the excitement on the side but not hand over the command of the military in the western Pacific, the United States has been speculating since the founding of the country, during this period many major wars broke out in Europe, and the United States always took the heat of the fire. In the end, he won a lot of money, not to mention the previous ones, World War I was like this, World War II was also like this, of course Jiang Qiang would not let the Americans get their wish, the Americans' "Lend-Lease Act" was a piece of in his eyes, everyone was fighting the Axis powers, why did he have to pay for it? The Americans did not want to give either people or money, and those supplies to other countries had to be repaid after the war. What Jiang Qiang wants is free assistance. I don't pull it down.

On the night of May 3, Jiang Qiang, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the famous Coral Sea Sea Battle was about to break out, in history, the Coral Sea Sea Battle took place from May 4 to May 8, this sea battle was the first time in the history of human warfare that aircraft carrier formations fought with carrier-based aircraft at a long distance, and the warships of both sides did not meet, and it was almost the fairest battle in the Pacific War, and the two sides met suddenly, which basically reflected the combat effectiveness of both sides. Both sides lost an aircraft carrier and a destroyer, and both sides suffered damage to an aircraft carrier, and Japan lost 77 aircraft and 1,074 officers and men killed. The United States lost 66 planes and 543 officers and men killed, and the United States won a small victory.

Judging from the tactical gains and losses, the Japanese Navy won a tactical victory in the Battle of the Coral Sea. However, the Japanese Navy could not be immediately replenished due to the loss of aircraft and pilots, and for the first time, the expansion of Japanese forces was curtailed, and the attack on Port Moresby was aborted. The two aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy's 5th Air Force were supposed to participate in the Midway program, but due to the damage of the Shozuru and the severe attrition of the Zuizuru, the Japanese were weakened in the upcoming Battle of Midway.

History has proved that the defeat of the Axis powers is an inevitable outcome, even if the Axis powers still occupy an advantage, but after all, the Axis powers have a small land area, a small population, and few resources, which is an indisputable fact, in terms of science and technology, the scientific and technological strength of the Allies and the Axis powers is not much different, even if Germany in the Axis is superior to other countries in weapons, but the Allies' numerical superiority in weapons is enough to make up for this gap.

Therefore, Jiang Qiang was wondering if he wanted to stab the Americans in the back. Let the outcome of the Coral Sea Naval Battle change a little, without affecting the overall strategic situation of the Pacific theater, let the Americans suffer a loss, and let the Americans not be so arrogant in the future, don't always pull the soldiers of other countries as cannon fodder, and want Burma and China to fight the Japanese, but refuse to pay for and provide equipment, where in the world is there such a good thing?

Jiang Qiang got up and put on his clothes, Tingting was woken up by the sound of him getting up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw him put on her clothes. He sat up and asked, "Why don't you sleep so late?" Jiang Qiang turned his head and said, "You go to sleep first." I remember that there is something urgent to deal with, do you think this commander-in-chief is so easy to be? It's a hard-working, tiring and angry job! ”

Tingting was also ready to get up when she heard this: "Then I'll make you a pot of tea." "No need, these things are naturally taken care of by those staff, you better go to bed early. Women who lack sleep will age quickly! After Jiang Qiang finished speaking, he walked out of the bedroom. Come to the office. Jiang Qiang lit a cigarette and sat on the chair behind his desk. The Americans wanted to make Burma and the Japanese fight to the death, and Jiang Qiang was certainly not a fuel-efficient lamp. Naturally, they will not be stupidly used as guns by the Americans.

"Hmph, Yankee, since you are unkind, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being unjust!" Jiang Qiang scolded fiercely in his heart, then picked up the confidential phone on the table and dialed the phone of Skynet, and after the phone was connected, Jiang Qiang asked Huang Hong to come immediately. This kind of stabbing the Allies in the back must not be said on the phone, it must be said to the face, except for a limited number of people who can know about it, it must not reach the ears of other people, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

Huang Hong quickly rushed to the headquarters, and Jiang Qiang also called the guards to open the door to Huang Hong. For the sake of absolute secrecy, Jiang Qiang didn't even let Wang Qiang come over, but drove to the entrance of the headquarters to pick up Huang Hong in the car, and the two drove around the big courtyard of the headquarters slowly, and turned around a few times, before the two discussed properly, Jiang Qiang drove the car to the door of work and sent Huang Hong away.

Why were the Americans able to crack the Japanese Navy code? This happened only at the beginning of this year, when the Japanese I-124 was sunk while laying mines in the port of Darwin on January 20, and the U.S. military then fished out the code book from the I-124 with a diving ship. In the months that followed, as intelligence accumulated, especially after the air raid on Tokyo, the Japanese Empire reacted excessively, sending almost all of the Combined Fleet, and the intelligence service at Pearl Harbor began to gradually decipher the Japanese code and gradually map out the spearhead of the Combined Fleet's attack with scattered intelligence. This secret was the most important basis on which the U.S. Navy was able to deal with the Combined Fleet in the early days of the Pacific War.

Although it was known that the Japanese were about to land at the port of Morbiz, and that their advance party would occupy Tulagi first, they had basically mastered the forces invested by the Japanese side. Nimitz was determined to prevent the Japanese from landing on Morbiz, and this was not an easy decision to make, as it would not be easy for the Allies to gather the necessary forces to deal with the incoming enemy. The Saratoga was damaged by a Japanese submarine and was repairing on the west coast, and the USS Enterprise and HMS Hornet were on their way back from the attack on Tokyo, with the aircraft carriers USS Lexington of the 8th Task Force and USS Yorktown of the 17th Task Force at their disposal, as well as 8 cruisers and 13 destroyers. Under the unified command of Fletcher, the two fleets were stationed in the Coral Sea on 1 May.

On May 3, today, when the Fletcher Navy received news that Japanese troops were landing in Tulaghi, his Yorktown was still more than a hundred miles west of Bad Cap Point. He immediately ordered the interruption of refueling, and ordered a 26-knot-hour march north to the central Solomon Islands.

The Coral Sea, with a total area of 4.791 million square kilometers, is equivalent to half of China's land area, and it is bordered by the Australian mainland to the west, the Tasman Sea to the south, and the New Hebli Islands, Solomon Islands, and New Guinea (also known as Illian Island) to the east and north. The size and depth of the world's oceans vary, but the largest and deepest sea is the Coral Sea in the South Pacific. The Coral Sea is home to schools of sharks, which is why it is also known as the "Shark Sea".

Geographically, the Coral Sea is the largest sea in the South Pacific. The seabed topography of the Coral Sea is roughly inclined from west to east, with an average water depth of 2,394 meters, with a water depth of 3,000~4,000 meters in most places, and a maximum depth of 9,174 meters, so it is also the deepest sea in the world. The Coral Sea is located near the equator, and as such, its water temperatures are also high, with temperatures above 20C throughout the year and even over 28C in the hottest months.

One of the reasons why there is little water pollution in the Coral Sea is that the water is so clear and light is abundant that it is suitable for a wide variety of coral polyps. At the same time, the salinity of seawater is generally between 27~38‰, which is also an ideal environment for polyps to live, so whether it is on the continental shelf in the sea or in the shallows of the sea, there are a large number of polyps reproducing and reproducing everywhere. Over time, it has developed into a large number of coral reefs of various shapes, which at low tide will emerge from the sea, creating a gorgeous spectacle unique to tropical seas, hence the name "Coral Sea".

At 2 a.m. on May 4, in the southern city of Myanmar, Dangji City, the dormitory area of the Allied High Command in the Western Pacific Theater.

Xiao Guang, the head of the security department of the Command, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a fierce phone call, he touched the bedside table next to the bed with sleepy eyes, and finally touched the electric light on, and the room suddenly lit up, he reached out and picked up the phone in a daze and said, "Hey? ”

A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone: "I'm Huang Hong!" When Xiao Guang heard this voice, he immediately had no pajamas, "Minister, what instructions did you call so late?" "Is it convenient for you to talk there?" Xiao Guang turned his head to look at his sleeping wife beside him, so he said, "My wife is by your side!" ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds, and then a voice soon followed: "Get to your office in a quarter of an hour!" Huang Hong's meaning was very clear, after a quarter of an hour he would call Xiao Guang's office, and Xiao Guang immediately said, "Yes, minister!" After putting down the phone, Xiao Guang quickly got up and dressed, and his wife was also woken up by the sound of him getting up, "Why are you going so late?" Xiao bald his head and said without replying: "The order came from above to let me rush to the headquarters, you go to sleep first!" ”

"I don't let people sleep in the middle of the night, really!" Xiao Guang ignored his wife's complaints, and soon went out and drove to the headquarters, which had become more guarded than before since the espionage incident. Daring to go downstairs to the office building, Xiao Guang looked at his watch, and it was just a quarter of an hour before he took out the key and ran up to the office building.

After opening the office door, he heard the phone ringing, he locked the door and walked over quickly to pick up the phone and said, "Hey, is it the minister?" "It's me!" "Please give the order!" "Listen, this is a highly classified mission, only you are allowed to know, and the mission can only be completed by you personally, I just got the information, the US Navy aircraft carrier Yorktown has arrived in the sea about a hundred miles southwest of Guadalcanal, and is preparing to launch a series of attacks on the Japanese Navy fleet in the sea near Tulagi, one thing you have to pay attention to, the US aircraft carrier fighter leader is holding the old "National Geographic" magazine, this is definitely not accurate, so the American carrier-based bombing must be biased, Didn't you catch a high-ranking Japanese spy named Rachel some time ago? Your task is to tell her this information, let her send it to the Japanese on the radio, and as for what to do in the future, I will tell you! ”

"Understood" Xiao Guang knew that what he should do was to obey orders, and he couldn't ask what he shouldn't ask. Half an hour later, Xiao Guang rushed to the prison on the outskirts of Dangji City with a radio station, because a high-ranking Japanese spy, the British woman, Rachel, was imprisoned, so the prison was very tightly guarded
