In July 1941, the sword was shining in time and space

When Wang Yue was busy in this time and space, the Bright Sword time and space did not stop, and when everyone was there to see the jokes of the British, the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, which had been forbearing, also moved.

On July 16, General Yoshio Shinozuka personally visited Henan Province and commanded a large-scale attack on the headquarters of the Tang Deputy Command in the First Theater of Operations, commanding five Goryeo divisions, two permanent divisions, four independent mixed brigades, and 25 puppet army divisions.

It is said that the troops deployed on the front line in central Henan in the First Theater also have more than 60 infantry divisions, more than 300,000 troops, well-equipped and adequately supplied.

However, the combat effectiveness of Yubu refreshed everyone's cognition, and under the fierce offensive of the Japanese army, the front-line position collapsed after only four hours.

As for the third line of defense, where is there any third line of defense, in order to fill the gap in the strength of the second line of defense, the troops and technical equipment of the third line of defense have long been exhausted, and in just one week, the troops in the first theater of operations have been scattered, and less than 100,000 of the more than 300,000 troops can still be mastered, and the technical equipment and military supplies have been completely lost.

It doesn't matter if Deputy Commander Tang loses, but it will be bitter that the headquarters of the Wei Chief, who is confronting Nakajo Mountain and Yamamoto Kazuki, will not even have time to react to his flank and be exposed to the Japanese, is this worth it?

Long before General Yoshio Shinozuka was ready to launch the Henan-China Campaign, Yamamoto Kazuki secretly advanced the main force of more than 100,000 people, including the Ten Iron and Stone Wings, to the line of Nakajo Mountain, and almost immediately after the Japanese army won a great victory in the Henan-China Operation, the Japanese army pounced on Nakajo Mountain.

In the end, under the cover of the joint air force of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it was able to withdraw across the Yellow River, but only more than 50,000 troops were left in the real withdrawal, and more than 100,000 troops were lost.

The grief-stricken Commander Wei had red eyes as soon as he saw Deputy Commander Tang, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly shot more than 20 generals including Deputy Commander Tang in front of all the generals in the First War Zone, and then even Chief Wei himself committed suicide by swallowing a gun in front of all the remaining generals and colonels in the First War Zone, and also made a will that he would never be buried if the War of Resistance was not won.

It is not to blame that Commander Wei committed suicide in shame, in just half a month, he buried 300,000 elites of the Central Army, and they were all elite troops who had completed training, just the weapons and equipment captured by the Japanese army were enough for the Japanese army to form ten more Goryeo divisions, as for the materials, the Japanese North China Dispatch Army may not be able to use up even if it takes a year.

Although there are still many areas in Henan Province that are still under the control of the national army, the national army, which has no danger to defend, is destined to be unable to continue to hold out in Henan Province, so that the heavy army group of the Japanese army can threaten our troops in several nearby provinces, this loss is continuous, and it is also uncertain, especially the Sulu theater, which has recently jumped the most happily, is equivalent to being directly surrounded by the Japanese army, and I don't know if Commander Yu can continue to hold on.

Once the Sulu theater collapsed, the frontal battle of the national army in North China was tantamount to a complete failure, and North China became a rivalry between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, and the political blow to the government was huge, absolutely no less than the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops and a large area of the past.

When the news reached Wuhan, the highest authorities locked themselves in their offices for a full hour before they were relieved, and to everyone's surprise, the highest authorities, who had always been fond of protecting calves, actually recognized the legality of Chief Wei's action of shooting Deputy Commander Tang and others, and even sent hundreds of middle-level officers to military court at one time, most of whom were Huangpu officers, and Commander Wei also received due honor.

In the end, the supreme authorities thought of Hu Shoushan, who was locked up in a military prison, and threw him directly into the plane and threw him into western Henan, taking charge of the remnants of the First War Zone as the acting deputy commander.

Although it was only half a month of fighting, the Japanese army, which was like a rainbow destroying the withered and decaying army, also suffered heavy losses, even if there was no Hu Shoushan to preside over the overall situation, the Japanese army did not have the strength to continue to attack for the time being, after all, their main enemy in North China was the Eighth Route Army, and it was unwise to break the bones for the sake of the First War Zone.

To be honest, the original purpose of the attack was just to take revenge on the First War Zone and warn it of its small actions of large-scale anti-puppet army, but no one expected that the First War Zone on the opposite side would pull his hips like that, which led to the great victory of this battle in Henan, and it is said that even the locusts were alarmed.

The defeat on the battlefield is only one aspect, what is more tricky is the blow to the morale of the people in this defeat, the price of goods in the rear rose again, the value of the fiat currency fell by more than 5% in a short period of time, the price of fixed assets such as houses and land in the rear also plummeted, the housing prices in the three towns of Wuhan were cut in half almost overnight, or the navy sent a fleet to bombard Jiujiang again to finally stop the downward momentum, according to rumors, the losses of the big uncle and the fat finance minister in this round of economic shock exceeded 100 million oceans.

Internationally, the image that the government had just established also collapsed overnight, and the government bonds secretly circulated and sold in the Bald Eagle were unsalable, and even caused a lot of turmoil, and the Bald Eagle authorities, who had been turning a blind eye, also jumped out, arrested many of our personnel, and also froze those funds waiting to be transferred back to the country, totaling as much as $50 million.

It is not surprising that for Bald Eagles, Japan has never been their opponent, and we are the only ones in the vast Pacific region who have the potential to challenge them, so they have always played a very dishonorable role in the war, on the one hand, letting the two countries bleed each other, and on the other hand, trying to maintain the balance of the war situation, and in the process protecting the interests of domestic capital.

Now we have suppressed the Japanese, and even the Japanese have voices within the Japanese that they want to end the war, which is something that the bald eagles do not want to see and absolutely cannot tolerate, and their brazen action is also a regular operation.
