Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Of course, amidst the joy and excitement, there is no lack of pain and sorrow. Many homes have mourning halls and mourning clothes, and the atmosphere is extremely oppressive.

Because although this battle was a complete victory, with a total of more than 1 enemies wiped out, but I also paid a lot of casualties on my side.

Among them, the Huaxia Huben Army killed 875 people, the third detachment killed more than 2600 people, and the civilians killed more than 1600 people, adding up to more than 5000 people!

That is to say, thousands of families have suffered the pain of life and death, and white-haired people giving away black-haired people!

To grasp the revolution and promote production, both hands must be tough. Under the strong operation of various departments, the Huben Army Defense Zone quickly started the post-war reconstruction work, and the counties and cities gradually restored normal life and production order.

The fierce fighting came to an abrupt end, and the cloud of war in the Shandong Peninsula disappeared instantly, and the military and civilians in the Shandong Peninsula ushered in a long-lost peace and tranquility.

However, such a happy and happy situation is not everyone's favorite.

The study room on the second floor of Chongqing Huangshan Villa.

Dai Li reported very respectfully: "Commissioner, the Jinan intelligence station in Shandong has sent an urgent message. The Japanese army has stopped its offensive since yesterday morning, and a large-scale retreat will continue."

"Oh?"

Generalissimo Jiang raised his brows lightly, and asked back, "Has the Japanese army retreated across the board?"

Dai Li nodded and said: "That's true. The day before yesterday Yang Fan dispatched a large number of bombers to blow up the Japanese army's Zhangzhuang Airport and Baitawa Airport, severely damaged the Japanese Army's heavy artillery brigade, destroyed the ground radar station, and carried out a large-scale bombing of the Japanese frontline troops.

Most of the devils were hurt, and the Shandong Peninsula has once again entered a confrontational situation. It is estimated that there will be no large-scale military battles in the short term. "

Hearing this, Generalissimo Jiang patted down the table in disappointment and said, "Damn Xipi, these little devils are really a bunch of bullies!

After mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people to engage in such a big battle, it turned out that the fight lasted only half a month, and it ended hastily before there was much fighting. Isn't this a joke! "

A few days ago, listening to the devils and the tiger army fighting to the death, especially the unprecedentedly large-scale air battle, Generalissimo Jiang was in an extremely happy mood, hoping to continue every day, and it would be best to turn the world upside down.

However, within a few days, the Devils' army took the initiative to admit defeat again, completely failing to reach the best state of losing both sides.

Dai Li continued: "The humble official believes that the main reason for this is that the devils cannot gain air supremacy, and the Huben Army's air force is too much of a threat to the devils' army.

It was very difficult for the little devils to attack the Huben army's defense line. Coupled with the sharp sword hanging above their heads, it is not difficult for them to stop the offensive and give up their strategic intentions. "

Generalissimo Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, air supremacy is too important in modern warfare, and we suffered losses in this regard, especially in the battles of Songhu and Xuzhou in the early days of the War of Resistance. Otherwise, we would not be in the current situation.

Now the party-state air force is finally gradually recovering, but this is not enough, and the air force needs to be further strengthened. "

"The principal is wise!"

Zhang Zhizhong, who was sitting next to him, flattered a little, and then said:

"A few days ago, the devils offered to hold peace talks with us, the purpose of which was to concentrate their forces to solve the serious troubles in their hearts, but now the devils have given up halfway, taking the initiative to withdraw their troops and adopt a new siege strategy on the Shandong Peninsula.

Although the main factor in this is the strong military strength and tenacious combat of the Huben Army, but I believe that Little Japan probably has another purpose, and it is by no means simply retreating in the face of difficulties. "

Chairman Jiang turned his head and asked, "Then tell me, what else is there?"

Zhang Zhizhong replied seriously: "Most of the lowly job analysis devils are going to officially enter Southeast Asia!..."

"There is indeed such a possibility! In this case, it will be very beneficial to the party-state, and we can free up our hands to solve internal problems."

Generalissimo Jiang nodded lightly, and the obsession that had always been rooted in his heart began to come alive.

It is now the fourth year of the Anti-Japanese War, and the Anti-Japanese War has entered a stalemate, and the Japanese army has stopped its offensive on the frontal battlefield.

It stands to reason that the national government's frontal military pressure has been greatly reduced. As long as the national government can work hard, realize its shame and be brave, the situation will only get better day by day, but in fact the situation in China is getting worse and worse.

One of the most direct reasons is that the bureaucratic ruling clique of the national government has become more and more corrupt, even worse than before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Especially in Chongqing, the accompanying capital, the rich and powerful groups are drunk, dreaming and singing every night, and the belief and will of the war of resistance are constantly being worn away, gradually forming a mainstream trend of thought in a corner of peace!

Chongqing, the accompanying capital, was a scene of national subjugation of "still singing across the river/garden flowers", and the front line of the Anti-Japanese War was even worse!

The Japanese government has never stopped peace talks with the National Government since the beginning of its full-scale invasion of China. Of course, the peace talks are just an illusion. The real intention of the Japanese devils is to lure the National Government to surrender!

After many efforts and trials, the Japanese government no longer had expectations of Chairman Chiang, but the high-ranking KMT officials who held power in their opponents, as well as the senior generals of the national army who held heavy troops on the front lines, never stopped.

In order to induce the surrender of these important targets, the Japanese government really spared no expense and exhausted all kinds of tricks.

But at this time, the national government cooperated very well and began to spread the theory of "curve to save the country". From the second half of 1938, senior generals successively defected to the enemy.

And in the second half of 39, a climax of treason and defection to the enemy was formed. He Xingjian, deputy commander of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, and Cai Xiongfei, deputy division commander of the Jinsui Army, all defected to the enemy at this time. There were hundreds of thousands of national troops who followed them. !

This kind of large-scale treason and surrender to the enemy was undoubtedly an unprecedented blow to the morale of the army, so that from the end of 39 to the beginning of 40, the atmosphere of the entire Anti-Japanese War was extremely depressing and pessimistic.

At the same time, the fiscal revenue of the national government dropped sharply, but various expenditures increased sharply, and finances became more and more difficult. All the local external ports were occupied by the Japanese army.

If it were not for the intervention of external forces such as the opening of the Burmese road, the approval of the tung oil loan by the United States, and the strong support from Yang Fan, the Nationalist government would have been even more isolated and helpless, and even more serious defection to the enemy and treason would have occurred.

At this critical moment for the survival of the nation, as the supreme leader of the Huaxia government, Generalissimo Jiang should make up his mind to use great perseverance and courage to rectify the history and governance of the officialdom, clean up the military discipline of the troops, and reunite the hearts of the army and the people.

However, Generalissimo Jiang did not do this, and there was only one string in his mind that was always tense-to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside!

Chapter 683 Barbarossa Project

"To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home" was the basic state policy of the national government when the nation was in peril after the September [-]th Incident.

Generalissimo Chiang’s “Annei” centered on “suppressing the Communist Party” and roughly included the following three meanings: first, it was to suppress the CCP’s armed forces by force, eliminate the threat of the CCP, and establish the dictatorship of the Kuomintang;

The second is to tame the opposition within the party and the country, weaken the local power faction, expand the unified power of the central government, and use force when necessary;

Once again, it is to stabilize the society, enrich the national strength, and enhance the ability to resist foreign aggression.

Formally based on this logic of thinking, when the military pressure from the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield eased, Chairman Jiang’s first reaction was not to purge the troops, let alone rectify the history and governance, but to suppress and eliminate dissidents, especially the Communist Party leaders. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army!

As a result, large-scale frictions occurred in Shanxi, North China, and even the Sulu theater.

However, whether it was in Shanxi, Jiangsu or Henan, the national army who took the initiative to provoke friction did not take advantage of it, and was completely at a disadvantage. It was defeated by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

During the entire Anti-Japanese War period in the original history, the national government set off three "counter-offensive climaxes".

……

On September 1940, 9, the Triple Alliance Treaty of Germany, Italy, and Japan was signed in Berlin.

In order to cooperate with the escalating war of aggression, the Japanese government tried its best to instigate war fanaticism in the country.Prime Minister Konoe Fumi organized the "Great Political Wing Praise Movement", while Prime Minister Tojo Hideki vigorously advocated the spirit of bushido.

On September 1940, 9, while the diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Japan were still in progress, Tominaga, the Chief of Operations of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, forcibly stationed in French India **.

French India** is a colony of France in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia during the 18th and 19th centuries. Its scope is roughly equivalent to the combined area of ​​Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia today. It also includes Guangzhou Bay, which was forcibly leased from the Qing Empire. It is 747,391 square kilometers.

As early as 1937, after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan asked the French Indian government to stop providing strategic materials to the Chiang Kai-shek government.

After Europe's French country surrendered to Germany, Japan threatened it with force to force it to agree to use the airfield in Tokyo Prefecture to fight against China and allow Japanese troops to stay and pass through.

Now Japan has finally extended its military power to Southeast Asia, officially taking the first step in its southward offensive.

Sensing the looming crisis of war, the U.S. government was determined to intensify its warnings, and on September 9 it officially announced a ban on the export of scrap metal to Japan.

To the surprise of the outside world, even though Japan has joined the Axis powers and entered the northern part of French India by force, the United States did not immediately include oil in the scope of the embargo.

Because Roosevelt believes that although the oil embargo is the trump card of the United States against Japan, it also directly means war.

Seeking compromise and reserving room for reconciliation will be the main approach of the United States in the following period.

This is reflected in another incident. When Japan strongly demanded that the Dutch East Indies oilfields increase supplies to Japan, the United States actually made concessions and agreed to increase oil exports to Japan.

For a year after September 1940, the United States and Japan engaged in a "see-saw dark war" around oil.

Both sides are very clear about each other's bottom line. At this time, once one of them appears "advancing forward", the situation may change at any time.

On September 1940, 9, President Roosevelt issued a call to the American industry to produce 10 aircraft per year.

Henry Ford, who had long since retired, felt deeply bound by his responsibilities, and immediately re-emerged to build the world's largest single factory: Willow Creek Aircraft Factory.

The L-shaped Willow Creek factory covers an area of ​​33 square meters and mainly helps the Unified Aircraft Company assemble the B-24 "Liberator" bomber.

With Henry Ford's "god-like" status in the American corporate world and his "Godfather-like" appeal, the Willow Creek Aircraft Factory was built quickly in less than two years.

Not only that, but millions of companies across the United States were inspired to take active actions.

On September 1940, 9, a historic event occurred on the European battlefield!

Not long after World War II began, Nazi Germany set its sights on the British Isles.

After occupying the whole of Western Europe, in order to conquer Britain as soon as possible, Hitler, the head of state of Germany, personally drew up an action plan called "Sea Lion".

However, when the German fighter planes serving as "vanguard officers" flew over the UK, what awaited them was an aerial "guerrilla war" in which the weak defeated the strong.

After three months, the Sea Lion project completely failed, and the head of state realized the cruel fact that forcing Britain to surrender through air strikes has become an impossible task.

At this time, the whole of Europe, except for the United Kingdom, has already crawled under the German chariot. Except for the powerful Soviet Union, Germany has no new enemies in Europe!

But the German war machine is already running at full speed, and it can't be stopped if it wants to!

Germany has made enemies on all sides and has accumulated too much hatred. If the pause button of the war machine is forced to be pressed at this time, then all the Germans will be involved in the battlefield machine and torn apart!

However, the Soviet Union suffered huge losses just after the Finnish-Soviet War, and the loss of personnel reached one million people. This battle fully exposed the Soviet army's very low combat effectiveness, poor organizational capabilities, and low-quality commanders after the Soviet army was wiped out.

During the Finnish-Soviet War, Germany sent a large number of military observers to Finland. The main purpose was to examine the combat capabilities of the Soviet army. They came to wrong conclusions, which affected the decision-making of the German High Command.

The head of state knew that this war would start sooner or later. Even if Germany did not take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would attack Germany sooner or later.

The situation in Germany is very good now, with successive victories on the battlefield, and no defeats have been encountered.

On the other hand, the great purges in the Soviet Union have severely damaged their vitality. Launching a war against the Soviet Union at this time can not only achieve unexpected results, but also crush the Soviet Union strategically.

The head of state did not expect Britain and France to declare war on him so soon. Germany has no ships and lacks a large military port, so it cannot cross the strait.

Occupying the United Kingdom has become impossible, and Germany can only turn around and bite off other European countries first.

Not crazy, not live!

In this case, apart from launching a war of annihilation against the Soviet Union, the head of state has no other options.

Because only in this way can Germany's already burning war machine be brought out to its full potential.

Because only by launching a war of annihilation against the Soviet Union and annexing the entire Soviet Union can Germany's consumption be made up for.

Because only by annexing the Soviet Union can Germany have a chance to become a normal country!

Thus, the Barbarossa plan was freshly baked.

Chapter 684 One stone stirs up a thousand waves

Everyone knows that the Axis group during World War II was headed by Germany, Italy, and Japan. The three countries signed the "Germany, Italy, and Japan Triple Alliance Treaty" in September 1940, which is known as the "Three Axis" in history.

But what is little known is that the Soviet Union once agreed to join the Axis powers and form the "Quadruple Alliance". This period of history is not mentioned in the history books. What is going on?

This matter has to start in 1939. With the signing of the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union heated up sharply. The two countries joined forces to carve up Poland, and the Soviet Union also provided Germany with a large amount of strategic resources.

Out of consideration of strategic interests, Germany began to tend to form an alliance with the Soviet Union, and invited Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov to arrive in Berlin to discuss the "Quadruple Alliance" issue.

After reading the draft, Molotov proposed that the Soviet Union agreed to join the military alliance, but they had conditions, requiring Bulgaria, Romania, Finland, Turkey, and the Persian Gulf region to be included in their sphere of influence.

But such conditions are unacceptable to Germany and Japan. Especially in Germany's view, the Balkan Peninsula is its own sphere of influence, and now the Soviet Union also wants to intervene. This is intolerable.

Therefore, Germany's attitude towards the Soviet Union was very cold, and it did not reply to the Soviet Union, and the alliance between the two countries was over.

Because of the serious conflict of interests between the two sides, the "Quadruple Alliance" was not finally realized.

After the rendezvous of the Soviet Army and the German Army in Poland, they were superficially friendly and celebrated each other, but this was just an appearance.

Since the main battlefield of the Soviet Union was in the east at that time, it was mainly fighting Japan.Stalin secretly mobilized 60 armored divisions and 100 million troops to the Soviet-German border, preparing to eliminate the Japanese army and move the battlefield westward to attack the German army!

Hitler saw Stalin's tricks and believed that Germany was short of small resources and could not fight a protracted war. Germany would not be able to defend without a strategic defense in depth. He decided to preemptively seize resources and catch the Soviet Union by surprise.

Considering various factors, Hitler realized that the contradiction between Germany and the Soviet Union was irreconcilable, so he secretly formulated the "Barbarossa" combat plan, determined to completely solve the Soviet Union.

1940年9月14日凌晨，纳粹德国撕毁《苏德互不侵犯条约》，伙同仆从国匈牙利、罗马尼亚、芬兰，集结了190个师550万人、6000架飞机、5000辆坦克、50000门大炮、200艘军舰。

Divided into three army groups, they launched blitz attacks on Leningrad, Moscow, and Transcaussia in the Soviet Union from the north, center, and south. The Soviet Union's Patriotic War broke out in an all-round way.

The "Barbarossa" combat plan is 9 months ahead of the original history. It is beneficial for Germany that the Soviet Union is much weaker than the original history, and the aftermath of the Great Purge is still very obvious.

To Germany's disadvantage, the ground in the Soviet Union was loose sand in summer, sticky mud in autumn, and snow-covered in winter.

Bad road conditions in autumn would slow the advance of the German army, and Germany had to be prepared for the harsh weather and harsh conditions of the Soviet transport network.

Of course, this may not be a good thing, at least not like in the original history, the head of state will be too optimistic to judge that Moscow can be captured before the severe winter.

In that case, the German front-line troops would not have to rely on newspapers stuffed into their jackets to keep them warm in the cold winter when the temperature was minus [-] degrees.

In order to operate the stoves and heating, German soldiers had to use gasoline, which was already in short supply, as fuel.

Another point that is beneficial to Germany is that the alliance with Japan is closer than in the original history, and the Japanese army is much stronger than in the original history, restraining more Soviet troops.

Fortunes and misfortunes lie in misfortunes and blessings depend on them. The historical trend of the European battlefield has undergone a major shift. As for how it will develop in the future, and whether history will repeat itself, only God knows!

The Soviet-German war broke out suddenly, shocking the whole world!
