Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Our soldiers bravely killed the enemy at the cost of more than 1200 casualties, severely damaged the 55th Division of the Japanese invaders, and wiped out more than 2800 Japanese invaders in total! ..."

"I am here, on behalf of General Yang Fan, the commander-in-chief, and 30 soldiers of the Huben Army, to once again seriously warn the Japanese aggressors, if you surrender early and confess your guilt early, you can still gain self-salvation.

Otherwise, you will end up in ruins, your country will be exterminated, you will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame, and you will become a speck of dust in human history! "

Yang Fan never minded exaggerating the cost of his own casualties. Firstly, it was to let the Japanese army not know about his details and specific combat effectiveness. Second, it was to show the world that his troops had paid a huge price for casualties. It's also good for the brother troops not to be overly desperate!

However, even this watered-down data is still extremely dazzling, and soon caused waves of turmoil at home and abroad.

Chapter 806

Chongqing Huangshan Villa.

Chairman Jiang, who was used to getting up early for morning exercises, accompanied by He Yaozu, Zhang Zhizhong, Yu Jishi and others, returned to the villa after taking a walk on the mountain path, and turned on the radio habitually.

At this time, I just heard Li Nianxue's soft, painful and proud broadcast: "Our station has received the latest news from the Burmese battlefield..."

"Damn Xipi, you did a great job. The wicked will be punished by the wicked. These little devils have finally hit a hard nail! This Yang Fan is really good at fighting. Now I want to see how the Japanese devils cut off the Burma Highway!"

Hearing this, Generalissimo Jiang couldn't help but frowned, and he was in a good mood.

He Yao group smiled and said: "Yes, with the Huaxia Huben Army and 30 party-state elites stationed in Burma, the Japanese government's delusional attempt to completely encircle China will be nothing but nothing!"

Lin Wei, director of the First Division of the Military Commission, was sent to the Burmese theater, and was promoted to the head of the Chinese Staff Group of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government in Myanmar. He Yaozu, who had just returned from the Soviet Union, took over as the director of the First Division.

In addition, He Yaozu also served as the Secretary-General of the Economic Committee of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, the Secretary-General of the National General Mobilization Conference, and the Director of the Survey and Statistics Bureau of the Military Committee of the National Government.

Although Dai Li is actually in control of the Military Command Bureau, he has always been the deputy director, while He Yaozu is the director of the Military Command Bureau, the nominal spy boss of the Military Command.

He Yaozu lived in a wealthy family since he was a child, and he had intelligence and wisdom that ordinary people do not often have since he was a child. He graduated from the Japanese Army Sergeant School in his early years, joined the League, and later served in the Hunan Army.

In the early days of the Northern Expedition, He Yao's group defected to support the Guangdong government and joined the Kuomintang. Because of his ability in handling affairs, he was promoted to the director of the General Office of the Military Commission before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

At the end of 1938, He Yaozu was appointed as the ambassador to the Soviet Union. During his two-year career as a diplomat, he witnessed the rapid development of the first socialist country, and often contacted senior leaders of the Soviet Communist Party, which influenced his thinking to a certain extent.

After the mission was over, He Yao's group returned to accompany the capital to report on their duties. He was favored by Chiang Kai-shek and appointed as the director of the attendant's office.

"There is no worry in the Burmese battlefield for the time being, but the domestic battlefield has become extremely severe!"

He Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The commander-in-chief of Japan's No.11 Army and the commander-in-chief of the China Dispatch Army have both changed, and the Japanese army's strategic intention to launch the second offensive in Changsha is already obvious.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Japanese government has formulated a new war strategy against China, and this time the Japanese army will invest at least four divisions, four detachments, three tank brigades, one flying division, and one naval task force. The strength will never be less than 13!

Its strategic intention is to annihilate the main force and elite of the national army in the ninth theater! "

Since the United States and Britain decided to take concerted action against the German-Italian-Japanese Axis Alliance, Generalissimo Chiang was greatly encouraged by the international situation. He declared to the world that no matter how difficult the difficulties encountered, he would unswervingly carry the War of Resistance to the end.

In response to Generalissimo Chiang’s stance of openly leaning towards the British and American camps and ignoring Japan’s attempt to negotiate alone, on January 1941, 1, Japanese Emperor Hirohito held a special imperial meeting to discuss the strategy of the war of aggression against China again.

This imperial meeting determined three policies: first, continue to attack China with force; block land, sea and air routes, and strictly prevent Britain and the United States from aiding China in the war of resistance; third, adjust the diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, and use all political and military means to weaken the Chongqing government His will to resist the war made him succumb quickly.

Hearing these words, Generalissimo Jiang also frowned: "I believe in Bo Ling's ability, and I believe that since he can win the first Changsha battle, he can win the second Changsha battle!"

Generalissimo Jiang felt very helpless in his heart. At present, there are really internal and external troubles. Myanmar has transferred 30 troops, including the most elite Fifth Army. Penetrating to form a two-sided attack.

Needless to say, the importance of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is extremely important in the country. If the devils break through Changsha, the elite troops in the Ninth War Zone will be severely damaged, and then Guangxi and the vast hinterland of the Southwest will be seriously threatened.

He Yaozu nodded and agreed: "Well, what Chairman Jiang said is very true, Bo Ling is a great general of our army, and he will definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility. He will never let the committee down, and he will never let the plot of the Japanese devils succeed! "

Zhang Zhizhong also nodded and agreed: "Yes, the little devil is impatient. As long as he handles it carefully and calmly, he will certainly be able to hit the Japanese invaders again and win a brilliant victory!"

At this time, He Yaozu and Zhang Zhizhong could only comfort themselves, hoping to hold Changsha, and then a steady stream of military aid and resources would be sent to China from Myanmar.

Wuhan Japanese Army Headquarters.

Anan Keiki, the commander of the Japanese 11th Army, and Hata Shunroku, the commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Dispatch Army, are sitting cross-legged, having a long talk face to face.

When the Japanese army failed to attack Changsha for the first time, Ningji Okamura was so angry that he was restless and depressed for several days.

Since then, Neiji Okamura did not dare to attack Changsha again, and his successor Sonobe and Ichiro also did not continue to attack Changsha. In 1940, they turned to attack the Fifth War Zone, causing General Zhang Zizhong's heroic pumpkin shop along the Han River. Cheng Ren.

Then, the Japanese No. 11 Army captured Yichang, a strategic location in the Sixth Theater, and gradually regained its confidence, and once again tentatively attacked the Ninth Theater.

However, the Japanese army advanced lightly in the Battle of Kamiko, and the Ogamo Division and the Sakurai Division suffered heavy losses one after another and suffered heavy losses.

The Japanese army reviewed the reasons for the failure of the battle, and believed that the commander of the No. 11 Army, Sonobe Kaichiro, should bear the main responsibility, so the No. 11 Army changed commanders again.

Lieutenant General Anan Keiki, a young general who fanatically loyal to the Emperor, resigned from the position of Deputy Minister of the Army. In October 1940, he came to the long-awaited Huaxia with great ambitions to take over as the commander of the No.10 Army.

This year, 43-year-old Anan Keiki put two photos in his coat pocket after learning that he was leaving Japan to work in China.

In each photo, there is a young Japanese soldier smiling at him.

The two young men were Anan Keiki's second and youngest sons. The second son died in the northeast on September 1931, 9, at the age of 18.

The youngest son died on July 1937, 7, on the battlefield of Fengtai, Beiping, at the gunpoint of the fledgling Chinese Huben army, and he was 28 years old all the year round!

Anan Weiji put the photos of the two sons in the pocket of his close-fitting jacket anyway, just to remind himself at all times: this time when he comes to Huaxia, he must do something for the two sons.

However, this old devil who has suffered the pain of bereavement one after another has never thought about how many heinous crimes his two sons committed in the Huaxia Kingdom, and how many Chinese soldiers and civilians were slaughtered!

Chapter 807

Favored by the emperor and the female family members in the palace, Anan Keiki led the soldiers to fight extraordinarily hard, hoping to make great achievements in the war and repay the royal family's favor.

After taking office, Anan Keiki immediately studied the battle situation around Wuhan, determined to capture Changsha, where Okamura could not gnaw, to frustrate Xue Yue's spirit, and also to show his ability.

Soon, Anan Keiki came to the forefront of the war of aggression against China. He was in Wuhan, a famous military city. To the south of Wuhan was Changsha, which Neiji Okamura once wanted to occupy but failed to set foot in.

Between Changsha and Wuhan, there lurks the elite military forces of the Chinese Nationalist Government, which the current Japanese base camp is most eager to attack.

At the same time, Hata Shunroku, who succeeded General Nishio Hiszo as the commander-in-chief of the China Dispatch Army, also came to China Wuhan with the same purpose.

Before leaving, the Emperor of Japan specially summoned Hata Shunroku alone, and told him that his trip shouldered the sacred mission of resolving the "China Incident".

Hata Junliu knew very well that a quarter of the Chinese army's strength was assembled here, most of which were elite troops of the Kuomintang Central Army.

If this part of the force can be seriously injured or eliminated, it will definitely weaken the national government's will to resist and force Chiang Kai-shek to surrender as soon as possible.

Hata Junliu had high hopes for the battle in Changsha, and he also received the support of the Japanese base camp.

After taking a few sips from his teacup, Hata Toshiroku said in a deep voice, "Anan-kun, since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that wiped out the US Pacific Fleet, the Empire of Japan has completely controlled the Pacific Ocean, and within a short period of time across Southeast Asia.

The Great Japanese Empire is currently at its greatest and most prosperous moment in thousands of years, and it is about to realize the Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere that generations of Dahe people have dreamed of.

But our enemy is still very strong and tenacious, and the Great Japanese Empire is far from being able to sit back and relax.

As long as you win this battle well, you can change the situation of the entire China, and your name will also be engraved in the history books of the Yamato nation, shining through the ages and never fading! "

Anan Keiki paused heavily and said: "Hayi! Thank you, Commander, for your reminder. I will keep it in mind, and will charge and expand the territory for the Great Japanese Empire, and realize the great cause of the Yamato nation."

Hata Junroku went on to say: "The Empire of Japan has officially signed the "Japan-Soviet Neutrality Treaty" with the Soviet Union, and China's only northwest land transportation line has been interrupted since then. Stalin has objectively helped the Empire of Japan to complete the great cause of sealing off China.

Now the whole of China, in terms of water, land and even air, has only one rugged and treacherous Burma road left to connect with the world. The national government can only communicate with the distant United States and Britain through this narrow path.

And this narrow path will soon be completely broken under the attack of the imperial southern dispatched army. If we annihilate the elite national army between Wuhan and Changsha at this time, the war in China will completely change.

In this battle, the Great Japanese Empire will use the power of the whole country, and only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed! "

In order to win the Battle of Changsha, the Japanese army shipped thousands of tons of ammunition to the No.11 Army from China. In the six months before that, the No.11 Army did not receive any ammunition supply from Japan.

Therefore, Hata Shunroku's exaggerated statement here that he is using the power of the whole country is not just nonsense.

"Hayi! The first attack on Changsha did not achieve great results. The reason is that the deployment of troops was too scattered, the main attack direction was not highlighted, and a strong impact and lethality could not be formed.

Don't worry, Commander, I will never make the same mistake this time! "

Anan Keiki nodded smugly, and took over the duties and ambitions of the Sonobu, but did not inherit the frustration of failure, and smugly shouted: "The great Japanese Empire will surely destroy China and establish an unprecedented glory." Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."

After a pause, Anan Keiki said to Hata Shunroku: "I will name this combat operation 'Plus Operation'.

The first step is to defeat the Chinese defenders of Xinqiang River and Gushui;

The second step is to go to the lower reaches of Mishui near Changle Street;

In the third step, after preparing for the offensive, one part will attack the defenders on the south bank of Mishui, the other part will pass through the middle of the Xinshi-Liqiao line, and then the main force will attack the main force of the Ninth War Zone from the west of Xinshi and Liqiao along the Xiangjiang River. Surround and annihilate. ..."

After listening to Anan Keiki's explanation, Hata Shunroku nodded lightly and said: "Yo Xi! This strategic idea is very good, but the specific implementation plan needs further consideration and deliberation. This battle has a lot to do with it. Please, Anan-kun, be careful deliberate."

"Hay!"

Later, Anan Keiki carefully studied the process of the first Changsha battle again. Anan deeply felt that attacking Changsha from the two directions of northern Hunan and southern Hubei still worried about the dispersion of troops.

Especially in the mountainous and dangerous area from southern Hubei to Pingjiang, it is easy to be restrained by the Huaxia army and cannot play the role of superior force.

Therefore, after the base camp approved the battle plan, he revised the deployment again, decided to cancel the offensive in the direction of southern Hubei, and directed all troops to northern Hunan, forming the absolute advantage of the Japanese army here.

Thus, the second battle of Changsha gradually kicked off. From the very beginning, it was doomed to be a bloody battle on an unprecedented scale, a battle of life and death!

The Oval Office of the White House.

"Mr. President, the Soviet battlefield needs at least [-] tanks!"

"Mr. President, the Soviet Union needs at least seven thousand cannons!"

"Mr. President, Britain needs us to provide at least five thousand combat aircraft!"

"Mr. President, Huaxia needs us to provide at least [-] cannons!"

"Mr. President, at least 50 troops need to be invested in the African battlefield!"

Looking at the requests for help one after another, the numbers requested were getting bigger and bigger. Roosevelt felt that his nervous system was almost numb, and his brain was buzzing.

At the same time that the Japanese army attacked important islands in the Pacific Ocean and swept across Southeast Asia, the German army also stepped up its offensive against the Soviet Union and Africa.

Nazi Germany, in its heyday, was so powerful that the Soviet Union could only parry but not fight back. Even the capital Moscow fell completely, and the Allied forces also retreated steadily on the African battlefield.

Although due to the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States has officially declared war on the Axis Allies of Germany, Italy and Japan, and the war machine has already started.

But freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and the collapse of the Allied forces on various battlefields in the world cannot be reversed overnight.

For example, in terms of war material assistance, although the US industrial machinery has been fully activated, it is working overtime to produce weapons, equipment and military supplies.

However, in the face of the tight battlefields and the continuous emergency requests for help from the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China, the U.S. government felt powerless and extremely laborious, because the demand and consumption of military supplies in various battlefields were too large, completely exceeding the current production and supply levels of the United States. !

Faced with such a huge demand and consumption, the US emperor, who is as rich as a local tyrant, has truly experienced the dilemma and helplessness of "money can only be spent when it is used up" and "the landlord's family has no surplus food"!

"Mr. President! This is an urgent call from General Stilwell, Commander-in-Chief of the India-Myanmar Theater!"

At this moment, a young and beautiful female secretary walked into the office and handed a telegram to Roosevelt.

Chapter 808 Elevated to Priority

"Oh?"

Roosevelt just wanted to habitually push away the bad news, but when he heard the telegram from Stilwell, he quickly reached out to take it.

"Hull, you also read this telegram."

After a while, Roosevelt's sad face finally had a gleam of joy, and after Secretary of State Hull read the telegram, he said, "It's really unexpected that this Yang Fan is really capable, and he has accomplished so much in just over a month." things.

So far, not only has an extremely solid defense line been established, but the infrastructure work in northern Myanmar has also been done impressively. Now, more than 2000 Japanese invaders have been wiped out at the cost of less than 7000 casualties in just over a week.

If the army of the Republic of China government had such combat effectiveness, how could the Asian battlefield be reduced to where it is today? "

Hull nodded and said: "This Yang Fan is really good at fighting, he is very good at seizing opportunities, and he can always surprise people.

If this casualty ratio can continue to be maintained, it is not impossible for the Myanmar theater to become the Waterloo of the Japanese invaders! "

After a pause, Hull said in a worried tone: "But there is a good saying, in the face of absolute strength, any skill is useless!

Japan has more than 50 elite army troops in the Southeast Asian battlefield, as well as a powerful air force and naval fleet. If the war in Myanmar becomes anxious and unsatisfactory, it will soon become the key target of the Japanese army.

At that time, even if Yang Fan has more strategies, I'm afraid it won't work! "

Roosevelt nodded and said: "This is also what I am worried about. If the Asian battlefield is completely collapsed and there is no containment, the Japanese will definitely concentrate their superior forces to attack Australia, and they may even use the Hawaiian Islands as a fulcrum to launch an attack on the mainland of the United States."

Hull continued: "Therefore, we have to make Yang Fan, an amazing army, play a greater role and make Myanmar a blood mill for the Japanese, and the prerequisite is to give Yang Fan the greatest support!

However, due to the blockade of the Pacific Ocean, military aid sent from the United States must first pass through the Atlantic Ocean, then enter the Indian Ocean through the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, and then transport it from India to Myanmar by land.

Such a long transportation of supply money is not only extremely time-consuming, but also very vulnerable to attacks by the Japanese navy and air force! "

Roosevelt nodded and said: "Yes, the current situation is very clear. This unprecedented world anti-fascist war is a difficult and protracted war, and it will not even end in three to five years!

As the scale of the war continues to expand, the consumption of military supplies on various battlefields will increase. Even if the industrial capacity of the United States can afford such a huge demand for materials, the material transportation capacity may not be able to bear it.

Even if it is the most conservative estimate, 10% of the [-] tons of military supplies sent from the United States can be successfully delivered to Myanmar, which is already good.

To make matters worse, if Japan is determined to blockade at all costs, I am afraid that even a ton of supplies will not reach Myanmar!

Such a huge material loss and ship loss, even though the United States has the most powerful industrial manufacturing capacity in the world, it will be unbearable for a long time.
