Take Taobao to fight against Japan

The most typical prey is the Ferdinand tank destroyer. Ferdinand did not install a machine gun at first, and it was accurate to hit the tank from a long distance. The target of this Soviet black technology.

Successful military camouflage also featured in this defense.

The Soviet army built a large number of fake airports. According to the Soviet army's own data, in the German attack, 35 of the 29 main air strike targets of the German aviation were fake airports forged by the Soviet army.

Instead, a large number of German aircraft were destroyed at the airport.

From the perspective of personnel and technical weapons, the Soviet Union has deployed a quarter of its strength in this not-so-large prominence.

On July 7, the two sides fought the largest tank battle in the Second World War in the Prokhovka area near Kursk. A total of 12 tanks participated in the battle.

Since then, the Soviet army has concentrated the powerful forces of six front armies to attack the German army.

For the Battle of Kursk, both sides put into the field the greatest forces they could muster.

In the later counterattack, the troops invested by the Soviet army were even more terrifying.

During the battle, the comparison of the peak strength of the two sides:

The Soviet army has more than 250 million people, 8200 tanks, 47416 artillery pieces, and 2792 aircraft.

The German army only had 94 people, 3253 tanks, 9467 artillery pieces, and 2000 aircraft.

Because of this, the Battle of Kursk became one of the biggest battles of World War II.

Although the German army also invested a large number of new weapons for this offensive, including "Tiger" and "Leopard" tanks, "Ferdinand" heavy assault guns and self-propelled artillery such as "Wasp", as well as Fokker-Wolf Fw- 190A fighter jet and Heinkel He-129 attack aircraft.

But in the end, there was still no way to reverse the crushing imbalance of Soviet and German forces and technical equipment.

At the beginning of the battle, although the German counterattack caused heavy damage to the Soviet army, but because Sicily, Italy was in an emergency, the head of state stopped the Kursk offensive and transferred Manstein's strongest tank unit of the 2nd SS Panzer Army to Sicily for emergency relief. .

In addition, the LVIII Panzer Corps was also transferred to assist the 1st Panzer Army, and these two units were the main reserve forces that Manstein wanted to expand the results of the battle.

Although from the current God's perspective, even if Stein's two troops were not transferred, on paper, Manstein could not completely wipe out the entire Soviet army in Kursk.

However, the hasty retreat did allow the German army to be counterattacked by the Soviet army in a passive situation. Manstein had no soldiers in his hands, and after mid-July it was indeed difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Manstein did not have the power to further expand the results of the battle, but the Soviet army's superiority in numbers once again played a decisive role, and they quickly resumed their offensive.

This unprecedented large-scale battle broke out on July 7 and lasted until August 5. The final result was that the Soviet army recovered Kharkov, and both sides suffered huge losses.

The Soviet army lost 80 people, 6064 tanks, 5244 artillery pieces, and 1716 fighter planes.

The German army lost 50 people, 1500 tanks, 3000 artillery pieces, and 3700 fighter planes.

Looking at the exchange ratio alone, the German army actually fought a beautiful battle.

This suggests that at least Manstein and Model were not fighting a very substandard battle.

However, the essence of this battle is that when a strategic decisive battle should not be fought, a strategic decisive battle was fought, so it is impossible to win the final result.

In this battle, although the Soviet army suffered heavy losses, it thwarted the German army's attempt to turn the tide of the war.

The Battle of Stalingrad constituted a landmark event of the great turning point of the anti-fascist war at the end of 1942, but that battle did not completely make the German army lose the initiative. What really made the German army completely lose the initiative was the unprecedented scale of the Battle of Kursk.

Through this campaign, the strategy and tactics of the Soviet army have been tested and they have fully grasped the strategic initiative.

Commanders at all levels of the Soviet army also grew up rapidly in the flames of war, and their command art became more and more mature. In the end, the Soviet army not only surpassed the German army in quantity, but also surpassed the German army in quality.

Since then, the German army has completely lost its strategic offensive capabilities and had to switch to full-line defense.

Chapter 1541

Conference room on the second floor of Chongqing Huangshan Villa.

The chairman of the committee and a group of military and political officials gathered together, and everyone was talking and smiling, and their expressions were very relaxed. The atmosphere of the meeting was rare and peaceful.

These days, it can be said that there are frequent reports of good news, and we have received the latest news from the Eastern Front in Europe.

The most important reason is that in the past month or so, the Allied forces have reported frequent successes on various battlefields.

Whether it was the Battle of Tunisia, the Battle of Hawaii, or the just-concluded Battle of Kursk, the Allied Forces were victorious. This series of brilliant victories not only severely weakened the military power of the Axis Alliance, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Axis Alliance. The morale of the heart alliance.

The strength of the Allied forces has soared, the morale of the army and the people is like a rainbow, and the dawn of victory has illuminated the whole world.

After chatting for a while, the corners of Chen Cixiu's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a sarcasm: "Now our Allied camp is sure of victory, and the final victory is just around the corner.

It's just ridiculous that that traitor brazenly declared war on Britain and the United States at the beginning of this year, which is simply a joke! "

Zhang Wenbai answered in a serious tone: "That's right, those clowns are determined to go all the way to the dark, and they completely treat Little Japan as their parents. They are really hateful and murderous!"

He Jingzhi laughed and said, "I just don't know what kind of expression these traitorous bastards have now, I'm afraid they all regret it now! Haha!"

The chairman cursed in a good mood: "Damn Xipi, these national scum are destined to be nailed to the pillar of national shame for thousands of years!"

Just on January 1 this year, a "major event" occurred in the world: Wang Zhaoming announced that his "National Government" had declared war on the Allies headed by the United States and Britain.

In the "Declaration of War", Wang Zhaoming declared: "From today onwards, Britain and the United States are in a state of war, and we should learn their full strength and cooperate with our friend Japan."

Declaring war on a country is naturally a big deal.

Wang Zhaoming was a puppet of the puppet government that surrendered to the Japanese, and he actually had the face to declare war on behalf of the "National Government". Go to war with neighboring villages.

Why was Wang Zhaoming unwilling to be lonely and dared to declare war on Britain and the United States against the displeasure of the world?

Because Wang Zhaoming is fighting for "orthodoxy" and has always hoped that his "government" will be recognized by the world. Declaring war on Britain and the United States means that the international community can pay attention to his "independence and legitimacy."

Besides, for him, whether to declare war or not is just a matter of one sentence anyway.

Regarding the declaration of war, the No. [-] traitor Zhou Fohai put it more bluntly: "We must never think that if we don't declare war, we can get forgiveness from Chongqing and leave room for the future. If we don't succeed, we will be benevolent. If Japan loses the war, we will have no face to beg for justice." .”

To put it bluntly, Wang Zhaoming was taking a gamble.If you win the bet, you will follow the Japanese master to win big; if you lose the bet, this is all I have.

At the beginning of 1943, although the situation was not as clear as it is now, the Axis army had already fallen into a bitter defeat on various battlefields, and the whole world saw the dawn of victory over the Axis Alliance.

However, Wang Zhaoming chose this time to declare war on the Allies, which is really the rhythm of taking the initiative to die.

In Wang Zhaoming's view, it is precisely when he enters the game in times of crisis that he can show more loyalty and "no hesitation" to the Japanese master. In his broadcast of the declaration of war, he advocated that "all citizens" should put all their energy into "survival from death". On the "decisive battle" against the Allies.

However, the clown's declaration of war is just empty talk, because the military power he has mastered is almost enough to assist the "imperial army" in clearing up and suppressing it. Not to mention fighting the US army, even fighting the national army on the frontal battlefield would be cannon fodder.

Sure enough, when the Japanese military really discussed with him and asked him to send elite troops to participate in the Pacific battlefield, Wang Zhaoming immediately found excuses and refused, which greatly disappointed the Japanese.

Conversely, to the great embarrassment of the Wang puppet government, the United States and Britain ignored these clowns. Instead, the United States and Britain did something that made Hua Xiren feel gratified in two days.

As the war continued to progress, both countries felt that it was unreasonable to treat China, which had fought side by side with them for more than two years, as a colony.

So on January 1, China, the United States, and China and Britain signed treaties in Washington and Chongqing respectively, and Britain and the United States officially announced that they would give up their privileges in China.

On May 5, the ratification was exchanged and the treaty came into force.

Immediately afterwards, some other countries enjoying privileges in China also signed new treaties of equality with China. ,

The abolition of the unequal treaty is the initial victory of the Chinese people in breaking away from the history of humiliation in modern times. It has played a positive role in uniting the close cooperation between the allies and inspiring the will of the Chinese people to resist the war, and has great historical significance.

China has achieved equal status with the United States, Britain and other countries in terms of jurisprudence.

Of course, formal equality does not mean final real equality. The abolition of unequal treaties is only the initial achievement of China's pursuit of justice. True equality depends on the continuous struggle of the Chinese people. Only when China is built and strengthened can true equality be finally realized. .

"The current international situation is indeed extremely exciting, and the final victory of the Allied camp is just around the corner."

After a pleasant discussion, Bai Jiansheng changed the subject at this moment, "It's just that the military pressure we face in China is still extremely severe, the Japanese army is still extremely powerful, and the road ahead of us is still very long."

Chen Cixiu sighed softly: "Yes, according to reliable information, the Japanese army is planning a new round of large-scale attacks on our ninth theater and sixth theater. They will never give up their ambition to destroy China because of other factors!"

Bai Jiansheng then said: "The long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst. It will take at least one to two years for the Allied forces to enter the battlefield in China! Undoubtedly, for a long time, we will have to rely on ourselves. OK."

The chairman frowned slightly and said, "What's the situation with the Huben army now? Why is there no movement after fighting?"

Bai Jiansheng said with a wry smile: "The Huben army has been counterattacking for more than half a year, and there are more than 200 million Japanese troops around them. After such a long period of continuous consumption, I am afraid that they are also weak now.

After all, the current total strength of the Japanese army exceeds 700 million. How can the situation be completely reversed in a day or two? "

"Damn Xipi, in the final analysis, he still has a small plan to preserve his strength. If he really wants to attack with all his strength, he can fight two hearty annihilation battles!"

Hearing this, the chairman's mood became very bad. The situation he most wanted to see was that the Huben Army fought with the Japanese devils, and then tried to solve this serious problem.

But the ideal is full of reality and skinny, and the script does not go on as he imagined.

Chapter 1542

On August 8th, Yang Fu, Yang Fan, Wu Qian, Wu Juan, Xia Yu and his wife were playing mahjong at home with nothing to do.

It is not tiring to work together with men and women, not to mention that it is very hot outside in the hot summer. In your own home, you can not only blow on the air conditioner, eat ice cream, iced watermelon, but also have an automatic mahjong machine for entertainment.

At the same time, coupled with the frequent success reports from various battlefields of the Allied forces, the situation in the domestic battlefield is also improving day by day, and Yang Fan and others are in a good mood all the time, and they are no longer worried all day long like before.

The mood is good, the appetite is good, the food is delicious, and you can play without distractions. It is very refreshing, so although it is just a family civil war with the left pocket in the right pocket, everyone is very interested and very involved in the game.

"Heavenly and earthly, please God give me [-] yuan! I must be fooled by this!"

Although he played the 1 yuan "little mahjong", he couldn't stand the bad luck all the time. After playing for two or three hours, Xia Yu lost a total of 67 yuan.

67 yuan doesn't seem like much, and it's affordable for Xia Yu, but in fact, it's a month's salary for ordinary people, which is a heart-wrenching loss.

But this time, after finally listening to a big card, Xia Yu couldn't help but her eyes lit up and her heart beat faster, eager to turn the salted fish over in one fell swoop.

"Huh, sixty thousand?"

He picked up a card with his trembling hands. Although it wasn't the [-] that he was desperately looking for, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and immediately roared excitedly, "[-], bar!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yu grabbed another card with her trembling little hands. It didn't matter if she grabbed it, her pupils constricted in an instant, and she was so excited.

"Wow, that's great! Fifty thousand, the bar is blooming, and the door is cleared by three companies!"

"It's finally here, I'm crazy, I'm crazy! Haha!"

"Everyone, please take a look here. This is a super big card. It's all the same, right and wrong, double kong, plus three kong, a total of 128 times, that is, 128 yuan per person!"

"Cool! It's so cool!"

Just in response to what Ji Tailai said, it was like a well-arranged script. Xia Yu had just finished listening to the cards, and after two rounds of touching, she reached [-].

"A cow! A cow! There's nothing to say about your luck!"

"Wow, this is too inhumane, you demanded my two months' salary!"

"Yeah, I won dozens of yuan after playing for a long time, and now I have exported all of it, and I have to pay a month's salary!"

Looking at Xia Yu who was grinning from ear to ear, Yang Fan, Wu Qian, and Wu Juan were also very happy. First, they kept praising and marveling, and then they cooperated with each other and made a look of extreme pain.

"Hey, don't smear the ink, hurry up and hand over all the money, you three bundles and one have fun for a long time, now it's finally my turn to have fun!"

Xia Yu's entire face was flushed, and her delicate body kept trembling. It didn't matter whether she was rich or not, what was important was that she could finally feel proud and in an extremely comfortable and excited mood.

"Xiao Yu, don't get too excited, be careful not to move your tires."

At this time, Gao Qinzhen, the mother-in-law who was standing aside, hurried over and patted Xia Yu's shoulder lightly, lest she would be too excited and make extreme joy turn into sadness.

"Understood, Mom, don't worry, I haven't seen such a big storm, so I just played a big game!"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile. Although she spoke calmly, her body was very honest, her heart was still unsettled, and her little heart was beating non-stop.

After years of hard work, she finally became pregnant with the twins that everyone envied. Xia Yu naturally knew the seriousness of the seriousness, so she dared not let herself go. After being reminded, she took deep breaths and tried to calm down.

"Okay, let's call it a day. Small bets are fun, but big bets hurt your body. It's time to exercise freely!"

Smiling, he handed over 128 yuan to Xia Yu, and Yang Fan dismissed the game.

After playing game consoles with his children for a while, Yang Fan drove to the headquarters of the Huben Army.

After a long tug-of-war of attrition, the Huben Army finally blocked the almost frenzied counterattack of the Japanese army after paying heavy casualties, and after inflicting great damage on the Japanese army, they successively conquered dozens of towns such as Shijiazhuang and Cangzhou.

At present, the Huben army has regained nearly half of the lost land in Hebei Province, but at the same time, it has become a little weak in succession due to long-term intense consumption.

The situation of the two group armies in Guangdong was similar. After a series of difficult and bloody battles, they recovered a large area of ​​lost land. However, due to the crazy resistance of the heavy Japanese army group, casualties and equipment loss were very serious.

Yang Fan did not continue to be reckless, and ordered the frontline troops to switch to a defensive state and take a three-month rest. At the same time, he stepped up the production and storage of weapons and ammunition to accumulate strength for the next large-scale military operation.

As for the Japanese army, the situation was not much better. They had been oppressed by the Huben army for a long time. Naturally, it was impossible to find trouble for nothing.

Therefore, in the recent period, compared with the raging African battlefield, the Pacific battlefield, and the European Eastern Front battlefield, the domestic battlefield in China has been extremely calm, and no major military wars have occurred.

Soon, Yang Fan came to the headquarters. At this time, Miao Dadong, Jiao Xuezhi and others were discussing some military issues in the war room of the headquarters, but there was no urgent matter that needed to be handled personally.

Having nothing to do for a while, Yang Fan chatted with them, talking about the domestic and foreign situation and some specific tactical issues.

After a leisurely chat, Miao Dadong said in a tentative tone: "Chairman, we have rested for more than half a month, and all the troops have recovered from fatigue, so we can start operations again.

Now the Allied forces are playing triumphant songs on various battlefields, especially the just-concluded Battle of Kursk, which is really exciting.

Now that the world situation is very good, and the morale of the army and the people are high, shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot? "

After Miao Dadong finished speaking, Jiao Xuezhi, Ren Yixiong and others all looked at Yang Fan in unison. Although they didn't speak, Yang Fan knew from the shining eyes that they had the same thoughts.
