Chapter 210

Attack! Attack! Attack! The German army commanded by Rommel moved forward desperately. The British army finally could no longer hold on. Auchinleck paid a huge price for his self-confidence! The price was a crushing defeat!

Auchinleck continued to invest in reserves, constantly built defense lines, and tried to stabilize the front, but all his efforts failed in front of the overwhelming German army. The first ones to drop their weapons and escape were the British and Indian troops wearing turbans

The soldiers were followed by the Australian soldiers, and the defeat was out of control!

Rommel showed no mercy and ordered the armored troops to continue the pursuit until the fuel was exhausted. In the "Operation Crusader" initiated by the British, Rommel, who was stronger in time and space, did not let history be repeated and kept pursuing.

It reached a depth of fifty kilometers into Egypt before stopping due to lack of fuel.

This was another hearty victory. 70,000 British troops were wiped out, including more than 50,000 prisoners. Olekkin successfully escaped with less than 3,000 people and 7 tanks. When the news came back, Churchill reached out.

I pressed my heart and almost fell down. At this time, the first batch of US troops had just landed in Alexandria!

Patton, who liked to smoke a cigar, and his 2nd Armored Division landed as the first echelon. After hearing the news, his back was like frost, and he shouted loudly to his soldiers: "The British have defeated the Germans, boys, move quickly

At one o'clock, let's go beat up those damn Germans."

Driven by Churchill, British companies quickly came up with a series of chemical technologies such as petrochemical additive technology, the most important of which was additive technology. This technology solved China's long-term need to import additives from the United States to improve the labeling of various oils.

Difficult. Of course, doing so will definitely offend American companies. But now the UK no longer cares so much, and these technologies are still transferred secretly.

The British Army in India, who were worried about not having enough equipment, soon received the first batch of equipment aided by China. The equipment of three infantry divisions. The rifles were old-fashioned bolt-action models, the light machine guns were Bren, and the heavy machine guns were Maxims.

There is no artillery, only a 70mm infantry cannon. The artillery is a captured Soviet 76 mountain gun, field gun, 122 howitzer, and the tank is a T26.

In order to get this equipment to India, it was first sent by train from Novosibirsk to Port Arthur, and then shipped south. It took a month to transport it all to Mumbai.

After receiving the equipment, the British army quickly formed three British-Indian divisions, three heavy artillery brigades, and a tank brigade. With these equipment, the British army in India had some confidence. At Churchill's request, a

A Chinese fighter jet wing flew to Mumbai to participate in the war as volunteers. This move undoubtedly gave Churchill a shot in the arm.

At this time in Africa, the German army was temporarily unable to attack. The Americans once again had the opportunity to use their industrial capabilities. In just one month, they transported 4 armored divisions and 10 infantry divisions to Egypt, plus local British troops.

, the African Allies were once again in a position of superior strength. On the other hand, Rommel's German army, because Britain and the United States strengthened the naval blockade, material supply and transportation was greatly affected. Fortunately, the German army soon severely damaged the British army in Greece, and the situation gradually improved.

.But for Rommel, he missed the best time to attack.

In the difficult past of 1941, Japan, whose war machine had been launched, was like a wild horse running wild, with no possibility of stopping. Although there was no Incident of 226, Japan in this time and space was still irreversibly heading towards the path of military rule, especially

After the great victory in Nanyang, militarism became the main trend in Japan.

Because they were poor, most Japanese men were willing to serve as soldiers, especially when Nanyang was full of food and Japanese militarism reached its peak.

In Singapore, standing at a high place and looking at the Chinese flags hanging on the freighters plying through the Strait of Malacca, Yamashita Fengwen's expression was unusually serious, and Wu Wei, who was standing beside him, also had a serious expression.

"Kawada-kun, I checked the information. In the past year, the average number of Chinese 10,000-ton cargo ships passing through this strait every day was 30. And this number has been growing. Even if the imperial army marches south, there is no decreasing trend.

" Yamashita Fengwen's tone was faint, with a strong sense of jealousy.

"The Chinese people have achieved leapfrog progress in the past twenty years. After all, it is a big country. After thousands of years of accumulation, once the country is unified and there is no civil strife, and the development direction is correct, huge progress is inevitable.

.In addition, China also has a great leader, whose talent is no less than that of Emperor Meiji.” I don’t know when Japanese soldiers no longer used the word China when they mentioned China. Especially after Japan’s southern advance, the military department even more

Soldiers are strictly prohibited from using this word as it may cause unnecessary conflicts.

A Chinese fleet that was sailing finally disappeared from sight, but soon two Chinese destroyers appeared again. Since Japan's southward advance, the most active foreign warships in the South Pacific have been the destroyers of the Chinese Navy.

Japan actually knows very well that the purpose of these Chinese destroyers appearing under the banner of evacuation of overseas Chinese is to monitor the actions of the Japanese army. Japan is worried about China, why is China not worried about Japan?

"Fang Jianxiong is an amazing monarch. Because of his appearance, the world status of Asians has been greatly improved." Yamashita exhaled softly, as if he was unwilling to admit the fact that China was powerful.

"Report, military telegram!" A telegram was read by the chief of staff and transferred to Yamashita's hands. After Yamashita read it, he handed it to Wu Wei: "Kawada-kun, we are about to go on an expedition again. The Imperial Council decided to attack India first, as you expected.

That way, the Navy won."

"As expected, the Pacific is still too big, and the United States is too far away." On the night when the United States announced its participation in the war, Wu Wei was so excited that he could not sleep. Thinking of this now, he can't help but feel a little excited. The participation of the American team in the war, Japan's defeat in fact

It's just a matter of time. In a long-term war of attrition like a world war, Japan and the United States are incomparable. Not to mention that there is already a very powerful China nearby, which is staring at Japan with evil wolf-like eyes. It may threaten Japan at any time.

A fatal blow to Japan. Unfortunately for Wu Wei, now that he is leading troops in the army, it is difficult to have contact with the country. Once the Sino-Japanese war breaks out, he must fight to get back. Maybe he should prepare for this now

.

Just when Wu Wei was planning how to be transferred back to the country, Wu Wei, who was about to go on an expedition, received an order from the military headquarters, asking him to immediately resign and return to the Tokyo Army Department. This matter made Yamashita Fengfumi very dissatisfied. The reason was naturally because Wu Wei was now his

The most powerful fighter. Yamashita was known as the Malayan Tiger. This title had a lot to do with Wu Wei's bravery in leading his troops and being the first to break through the British defense line.

After handing over the troops to the chief of staff, Wu Wei boarded a cruiser bound for Tokyo. Because of his military rank, Captain Saburo Watanabe was polite to Wu Wei, but it was just polite. The Japanese Navy looked down on the Army, and this tradition has always been

Unchanged.

At dusk, the setting sun turned the ocean blood red. Wu Wei, who had changed into casual clothes, walked into Colonel Saburo Watanabe's cabin with two jars of Chinese Moutai owned by his subordinate Xiao Jing. He raised the wine jar and Wu Wei said with a smile: "

Watanabe-kun, would you like to have a drink together? I heard that it is 30-year-old Chinese Maotai liquor, which I got from an overseas Chinese in Singapore."

"Ah, I'm so sorry for this." Saburo Watanabe is a good drinker, and Wu Wei is said to be much more senior than him. Drinking good wine is of course very honorable, but the navy and army are not important anymore. The orderlies were quickly prepared.

During the meal, Wu Wei opened the wine jar, and a strong aroma hit his nostrils. "This is really amazing wine. This wine is produced in the mountainous areas of Guizhou, China. It seems to have won some international awards. For Japan, China is too big. Okay.

There are a lot of things!”

Wu Wei poured the wine as he spoke. Watanabe stretched out his hand to be polite, and even after picking up the glass, he drank it down. Saburo Watanabe, who was used to drinking sake, felt a little uncomfortable drinking Moutai, which was too strong.

After hissing, the mellow and strong aroma still made him feel wonderful. "What a good wine! The last time I drank Chinese liquor was thirty years ago. At that time, I was just an ordinary intern in the Third Fleet.

Mr. Kawada is absolutely right, China is very big and has many good things, such as this kind of liquor."

"China is the opponent that the Japanese Empire must defeat! The past two decades have been like a nightmare. Now think about it, China has become extremely powerful almost overnight. Cowardly politicians, for the sake of their own interests, have

We missed the best opportunity to attack China. Now, we largely depend on China's face." After drinking a bottle of wine, Watanabe's face turned red, and Wu Wei carefully began to make insinuations.

Perhaps because of drinking, Watanabe agreed with Wu Wei's point of view and nodded: "Yes, the Chinese army was still very weak at the beginning. Although the empire's economy was difficult, it was enough to defeat China and seize Manchuria. Because politicians were afraid of European and American ghosts.

, so that now the Imperial Navy cannot sail to the Indian Ocean with all its strength, and must leave two aircraft carriers and two Nagato-class battleships to monitor the Chinese Navy. What a shame! Watching China grow up without doing anything."

While drinking and chatting, Watanabe was very drunk. Wu Wei got up and went back to the cabin in good spirits. He went through the conversation again in his mind and wrote down the core content. Wu Wei, who originally didn't have much hope, got up and went back to the cabin.

I was afraid, but I didn’t expect that this meal of wine revealed a lot of information, such as the remaining strength of the Japanese navy, the approximate number and type of Ryukyu HNA’s fighter planes, etc.

It had been ten days since Wu Wei returned to Tokyo. After landing, he did not go home first, but went to the military headquarters to report as soon as possible. Seeing Wu Wei, the military staff were very happy and expressed their envy for him to have the opportunity to lead

Soldiers go out to fight and create brilliant victories for the empire.
