Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Naturally, Stilwell had a firm stand and a strong will to fight. He stood unswervingly on the side of the anti-fascist alliance, determined to contribute all his strength to the victory of the anti-fascist war.

And the Burmese war zone he participated in was at a critical moment, Stilwell was absolutely unwilling to give up halfway, and he had to start well and finish well!

"My friend, you are thinking too much!"

Of course Yang Fan could understand Stilwell's mood, he patted Stilwell on the shoulder affectionately and said:

"General Stilwell, your work in Burma is excellent, and the cooperation between us is even more pleasant. Except for you, I will not accept anyone to come to Burma to partner with me!

I believe that President Roosevelt will not make a decision that is not conducive to unity, and I also have the confidence and strength to maintain our happy cooperation until we win this world war together! "

"Oops, that's great! My friend, thank you very much for your affirmation. It is really a great honor for me to fight side by side with you to resist the fascist aggression in this life!"

Stilwell smiled at Yang Fan very happily, and then continued: "But having said that, the hump route you mentioned is not completely nonsense, and it is still very feasible after careful consideration.

Well, if Burma does fall, maybe that will be the only option in the end? "

Yang Fan smiled and waved his hands and said, "If you want the Japanese to believe it, then of course you can't really be talking nonsense. But you still think too much. Compared with the Burma Road, the Hump route is simply a thinner capillary.

Not only is the consumption extremely high and the cost is extremely high, but the transportation capacity is a drop in the bucket!How could I easily give up the Burma Highway?

In short, Myanmar will never be allowed to fall completely. At the very least, the industrial base in northern Myanmar and the Burma Road must be firmly in our hands! "

"That's good! That's good!"

Stilwell laughed happily again, although he didn't know where Yang Fan's confidence and courage came from when the frontal battlefield was retreating steadily!

The Burmese war zone is currently the core focus of Asia, and Yang Fan's press conference released the news in advance, so all parties who got the news and were concerned about the war in Burma listened to the broadcast as soon as possible.

Among them are high-level Japanese government officials including Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Minister of War Hata Shunroku, Minister of the Navy Kawako Shiro, and Minister of Internal Affairs Yuasakura.

"Sodesna! Tojo-kun, Hata-kun, Kawako-kun, Yuasa-kun, have you all heard that?"

After listening to the broadcast, Hirohito patted the table with joy, and said with a smile:

"Yang Fan is already trying to shirk responsibility and find reasons for the fall of Myanmar!

This not only exposed that the Americans were playing with balance, but also exposed the irreconcilable contradictions between Yang Fan, the US government, and the national government.

Further speaking, this is enough to show that the Huaxia Expeditionary Army is at the end of its rope and is no longer able to stop the imperial army from attacking. That is to say, sending troops from Burma will soon win the Battle of Burma, haha! "

"Your Majesty is wise! This is indeed a great thing to be happy about."

Hideki Tojo immediately patted his ass without losing the opportunity, then nodded and said: "All tricks are futile in the face of absolute strength. Isn't it all in His Majesty's strategy to win this war by sending troops from Burma?" ?”

"That's right, such a result has long been in my plan."

Yu Ren nodded in a good mood, and then said with a bitter face: "However, I really didn't expect that the war in Burma would be so difficult and would be delayed until today.

Hey, the empire really missed the game at the beginning, and it paid too much attention to the British, so that it missed the opportunity of the war and let Yang Fan take advantage of the loopholes, otherwise, why would it be here!

Fortunately, with the blessing of God Amaterasu, the Great Japanese Empire finally won.After Burma is conquered, the Empire of Japan can make an emergency landing on the Chinese government, and it is hoped that the Chinese incident will end in a short time! "

"His Majesty the Emperor is wise! The Empire of Japan is on board!"

Hearing this, Hideki Tojo and the others immediately happily sang praises.

"Yo Xi!"

Hirohito waved his hand and changed the topic: "Yang Fan also mentioned the Hump route on the radio. Is this true? When did the Chinese and American governments come up with such an idea? Why haven't we heard anything about it?"

"Your Majesty, this is the first time I've heard of this situation today! It's hard for me to confirm whether it's true or not."

Minister of Internal Affairs Yuasakurahei shook his head and said: "However, based on past experience, it is difficult for Yang Fan to judge by common sense, and he can always do some unexpected things.

So the hump route may be real, and Yang Fan really has enough energy to raise enough transport planes to open up this route to maintain the national government's potential for resistance. "

Hideki Tojo waved his hands in disapproval and said: "It is not that simple to open a hump route from the Himalayas, and the consumption of materials and aircraft loss is an unbearable astronomical figure.

Moreover, after the empire occupied Burma, the scope of the imperial air force's activities would be greatly expanded. How could they just sit idly by then?

Even if they open the Hump route in the future, it will only be a symbolic supply line and will not have any real effect, so as long as the Yunnan-Burma Road is cut off, the Huaxia Kingdom will be completely locked down by the empire! "

"Suoga! What Tojo-kun said is very true, I can rest assured."

Hirohito nodded happily, and then said with a cold look: "Then give Meijin-kun a power, let him let go, and win this war cleanly and neatly!"

Hideki Tojo paused and said: "Hai! I believe that Umetsu-kun will fulfill his mission, and the Burmese dispatched army will surely win!"

Chapter 1017 He is not a god after all

Changchun Kwantung Army commander.

Ishihara Waner, who had too much energy, had nothing to do for a while, so he approached Yoshimoto Sadaichi, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, to discuss the battle plan against the Soviet Union again.

Ishihara Wanji pointed to the Soviet Union on the world map and said: "After the British and American coalition forces opened up the Persian Corridor, the Soviet Union received a lot of military assistance. The Soviet Union, which was already on the verge of extinction, is now on the verge of revival.

Although the German allies still have the absolute upper hand on the Soviet battlefield, it may be difficult to destroy the Soviet Union in a short period of time. This is not good news for the Great Japanese Empire! "

Yoshimoto Sada nodded and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Although the Soviet Union has not yet declared war on the Empire of Japan, the Soviet Union is a member of the Allies after all, and has always been a powerful enemy of the Empire!

If the Soviet Union recovers with the assistance of the Americans, it will definitely be a great disaster for the Great Japanese Empire. I also think that it is wise to go north to attack the Soviet Union and give the Soviet Union a final fatal blow. "

Ishihara Waner went on to say: "The current war in mainland Australia is basically calm, and the remaining sporadic resistance is no longer a threat.

The Americans were also firmly excluded from the Pacific battlefield by the Great Japanese Empire, and it was difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Empire in the short term.

Of course, the empire will not be able to land in North America in a short period of time and launch a direct attack on the continental United States.

The only wars that the Japanese Empire needs to solve directly are the Huaxia battlefield and the Burmese battlefield, so the Great Japanese Empire can completely free up its hands to solve this ultimate enemy second only to the United States! "

"Hay!"

Yoshimoto paused, pointed at the military map and said, "Your Excellency, the Far East of the Soviet Union is vast and sparsely populated, with extremely scarce soldiers and war resources. The only connection to mainland Europe is the Siberia Railway."

Ishihara Wanji nodded at Yoshimoto Zhen and said with a smile: "That's right, this Siberian railway is the key point in the Soviet Far East, as long as this railway is cut off, the Soviet army in the Far East, which lacks supplies, will collapse without a fight! "

Yoshimoto Sadaichi answered: "So it can be seen that the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters made a correct combat plan against the Soviet Union.

Attacking west from Manzhouli, capturing Chita and Irkutsk, the Siberian Railway can be cut into two sections, and the Soviet army in the Far East will be in trouble, and it will naturally collapse over time! "

"Yo Xi."

Ishihara Waner nodded thoughtfully, and then said in a regretful tone: "It's just a pity that there were serious problems in the execution of the war in the end.

Whether it was the previous Kenkichi Ueda or his successor Umezu Yoshijiro, the theory of military tactics was behind the times, and they didn't understand what it means to fight in large groups.

When fighting the Soviet army, they actually still adopted the traditional refueling tactics of fighting the Chinese army, and adopted the step-by-step deployment of troops. As a result, they were seized by Zhukov's large corps and defeated in one fell swoop.

So much so that the Great Japanese Empire was ashamed, and thus interrupted the strategic national policy of going north to attack! "

"That's right. It's such a pity that those four independent armored regiments were obviously stronger than the Soviet army, but in the end they were defeated by the Soviet army and became a pillar of shame for the Imperial Army!"

Yoshimoto Sada nodded and said, "It's all the fault of that idiot Umezu Yoshijiro, otherwise the Soviet Union would have perished under the attack of the Empire and its German allies.

The Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan can then be fully deployed in the domestic battlefield of China, or in the battlefield of Southeast Asia. At this time, the entire Asia has been placed under the territory of the Empire of Japan. "

"Yes, historical opportunities are fleeting. The Great Japanese Empire has finally ushered in the best opportunity for its rise in thousands of years. Now every step is crucial!"

Ishihara Waner sighed softly. Although he has already been ranked among the generals, and he is the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he actually controls the military and political power of Manchukuo. It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of his personal life.

However, Wanji Ishihara still felt very restricted and constrained, and could not fully follow his own ideas in many aspects, such as marching into the Far East and attacking the Soviet Union from north to south in Germany.

Although the total strength of the Kwantung Army is quite large at present, the elite main forces of the veteran troops have long been drawn out, and most of them are new divisions that have just been drawn from China.

"Umezu Yoshijiro, he is not bad at handling the army's internal affairs, but it's a pity that he lacks some military commanding skills!"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Ishihara Waner suddenly asked: "How is the situation in Myanmar? Is there any breakthrough?"

"The war in Myanmar has indeed made a breakthrough recently. The Burmese dispatched troops have broken through the defense line of the Salween River and successively conquered many towns. The frontline battlefield has advanced to the defense line of the Sitang River tens of kilometers away from Yangon."

Yoshimoto Sadaichi said, "Your Excellency, just this morning, Yang Fan just held a press conference in Yangon, which is enough to show that the war in Myanmar is coming to an end."

"Nani, press conference?"

Ishihara Waner's expression froze, and he regained his spirit and asked quickly, "Jimoto-kun, what's going on, please tell me quickly?"

"Hay!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi paused and said: "Just this morning, Yang Fan held a large-scale on-site press conference in Yangon, Myanmar, openly announcing to the world that the Chinese Expeditionary Force is about to abandon Myanmar, and that the Chinese government and the US government will jointly open up The hump route continues to deliver strategic materials to the Huaxia government.

In addition, at the press conference, Yang Fan complained about the U.S. government and the Nationalist government. He blamed the unfavorable Burmese war on the Americans’ balance between the Burmese theater and the Nationalist government. Most of the output from the Burmese industrial base Materials were distributed to the national government.

Well, that's right, Yang Fan has voluntarily surrendered and is ready to give up Myanmar and retreat to India. "

"Nani? How is this possible?"

Shi Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted with a look of hell, "No way, Yang Fan will take the initiative to admit defeat?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, I also found it incredible at first! I always felt that this was Yang Fan deliberately spreading rumors, showing weakness on the surface, but actually planning some conspiracy."

Yoshimoto Teiichi said very seriously: "But after listening to the entire press conference and analyzing all aspects of information carefully, I found that it was reasonable for Yang Fan to release such news publicly."

Ishihara frowned and said, "Why, Mr. Yoshimoto, do you really believe what Yang Fan said? Do you think he will really admit defeat and give up Myanmar?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Yoshimoto Teiichi looked at Ishihara with a puzzled smile, and explained, "Your Excellency, although Yang Fan is very cunning, he is not a god after all, and he cannot escape defeat in the face of the absolute power gap.

In addition, Chinese people have always liked to gain fame and reputation, and like to fight in the nest. Under the instigation of the Yankees, the National Government forcibly took away most of the military aid, regardless of the safety of the Myanmar theater, which led to the deepening of the conflict between the two sides.

Yang Fan has always been a person who does not get up early when he is not profitable. Under the circumstances of being unprofitable and being squeezed out, he feels resentful and angrily abandons Myanmar to protect himself. Isn't this a logical thing? "

Chapter 1018

Ishihara frowned slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "If you really think so, Yoshimoto-kun, then this matter may be very serious."

Yoshimoto Zhenichi looked at Ishihara Waner in astonishment, and asked in surprise, "Your Excellency, Commander, do you mean that Yang Fan is spreading lies to confuse the imperial army?"

"Yes, I think it's very likely!"

Ishihara nodded slightly and said: "Mr. Yoshimoto, the Empire of Japan has fought against Yang Fan for so many years, what kind of person he is, and how much the Empire of Japan has suffered in his hands, don't you know enough?

This person has a strong strategic vision and an extremely firm will to fight. Once a strategic goal is determined, he will do everything possible to achieve it!When did you see him give up halfway? "

After pondering for a moment, Yoshimoto Zhenyi shook his head and said: "It seems that there is no such thing. This person has been in danger several times, but every time he persisted until the last moment, and did not lead his troops to break through until the situation was irretrievable."

"That's right, although the situation in Myanmar is very unfavorable to the China Expeditionary Force, it is far from reaching the end of the mountain. Yang Fan will never give up Myanmar easily and give up his vested interests.

In addition, Yang Fan is a pure nationalist, and will never be arrogant because of the so-called internal conflicts, and ignore the fundamental interests of China! "

Ishihara nodded with a smile, and said decisively: "So, this is totally fake news!"

Yoshimoto Zhenyi frowned, and then said: "If this is fake news, then what is Yang Fan's ultimate goal?

He didn't hesitate to risk the morale of the army. Could it be that he just confused the imperial army, so what benefit could he get from it? "

"Yeah! Yang Fan exposed his shortcomings, what is the purpose of doing this?"

Shi Yuan Wan'er couldn't figure out what Yang Fan's intentions were, and what evil intentions he had.

Soon, Ishihara Wanji fell into contemplation, concentrating on this puzzling question.

"Your Excellency, is there such a possibility?"

At this time, Yoshimoto Sadaichi tried to say: "Yang Fan's move is intended to put pressure on the US government and the Chinese government, forcing the two governments to change their current style of work and continue to increase investment in the Burmese battlefield?

According to the information provided by the Ministry of the Interior, because Yang Fan was too popular in the Burmese theater, the U.S. government had some scruples and rejected Stilwell's opinion that all military aid to the Asian battlefield should be allocated to the Burmese theater.

At the same time, the national government has also stepped up the supervision of the materials and equipment produced by the industrial zone in northern Myanmar. As a result, the materials and equipment obtained by the Burmese war zone are far from enough to meet the war consumption? "

Ishihara Waner nodded first, then shook his head and said: "This may not be impossible, but I feel that it is far from that simple, because it is completely inconsistent with Yang Fan's usual style!"

After a pause, Ishihara Waner suddenly patted the table, his tone suddenly raised a few degrees and said: "I understand, in that case, there is only one last possibility left!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, do you understand Yang Fan's trick?"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi cast admiring eyes at Ishihara Waner, and asked curiously, "Then what is Yang Fan's purpose for doing this?"

"It's very simple, this is tactical deception!"

Ishihara smiled and said decisively: "Yes, Yang Fan must have a big conspiracy, so he took the risk to vent his dissatisfaction with the U.S. government and the Nationalist government, and carried out tactical deception against the imperial army!"

"No way? Commander, is this tactical deception?"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi was stunned for a moment, and he really didn't expect Ishihara Waner to have such a big brain hole, thinking that Yang Fan was really playing a trick of tactical deception, and asked in astonishment: "How could the Chinese Expeditionary Army have the ability to counterattack in Burma? How could this be?" Didn't you seek your own death?"

Regarding Ishihara Wan'er's inference, Yoshimoto Teiichi really couldn't agree with it, because in his opinion, it was very difficult for the Huaxia Expeditionary Army to survive until now by relying on its defensive advantages.

If they give up their defensive advantage and start a massive counterattack instead, it will be used to throw away all the little capital they have, which is not much different from moths to a flame.

"No, Yang Fan's army appears to be good at defending but not good at attacking. In fact, their offensive ability and field combat ability are no worse than the imperial army, even worse!"

Ishihara smiled and said decisively: "That's right, Yang Fan must be brewing a terrifying conspiracy. The Huaxia Expeditionary Army is about to launch a large-scale counterattack, and they are about to start a large-scale counterattack!"
