Chapter 587 Tojo Strategy
As soon as Tojo Hideki took office, he issued a battle drill that promoted the spirit of fascism, emphasizing that Japanese soldiers should be willing to die gladly if ordered, and should not be free to think about it as a normal thing. For several days in a row, the Japanese government headed by Tojo Hideki, in front of the imperial court,
The meeting repeatedly discussed the final national policy of war against the United States, Britain and the Netherlands.
However, the discussions over the past few days have not yielded any results at all. The navy has been making corresponding preparations, but Hideki Tojo could only hear about the specific situation of the preparations from the commander of the Combined Fleet Yamamoto Isoroku. Reminiscent of the history of Japan
After the Imperial Navy's defeat at the Battle of Mariana, a
It has been concealed for nearly nine months. As a result, the country who does not know the truth is still celebrating the victory. The army continues to send troops to desperately try to recapture the Guadalcanal Islands and use it as a springboard to attack Australia. This shows that the Japanese army and navy
The gap with the government and many other aspects is so deep.
In the end, Emperor Hirohito, against all odds and with the support of Hideki Tojo, decided to agree to Germany's request. The Kwantung Army sent one million troops to attack the Soviet Far East, targeting the entire Caucasus and Siberia, and seizing the Soviet oil fields and oil fields in the North Caucasus.

Prepared to board the German express train, Tojo Hideki delivered a war speech in the Provisional Parliament, condemning Britain and the United States for obstructing the Japanese Empire from liberating Asia, calling communism the greatest threat to the world, calling on all citizens to live frugally, and clamoring for 100 million
The people marched together.
Are the external announcements about the Japanese completely unclear? Accusing the British and American authorities of hindering their expansion? Claiming that communism is the world's biggest threat? What do the Japanese want to do? Do the Japanese really want to advance north and south together? This is much worse than in history
Is it crazier that the attack on Pearl Harbor triggered the United States to enter the war?
Gao Fei stood in front of the world map and meditated for a long time. Like many world-famous generals, Gao Fei also liked to look at the map. Sometimes he would look at the map quietly for several hours. Various strategic and tactical countermeasures were there.
He was constantly revising, weighing and comparing in his mind. The recent actions of the Japanese seemed too crazy. They transferred a large number of veterans with combat experience from North and Central China to supplement the Kwantung Army and the Southern Front Army?

If the Japanese sent troops to the Far East and Germany to attack the Soviet Union, the entire pattern of World War II would be completely changed. Will the worst-case scenario that countless people have done in the future really be like a war game?
While the German army attacking the Soviet Union achieved a huge victory, they had to change their all-out attack into a focused attack due to the persistent resistance and heavy blows of the Soviet army. Hitler believed that as long as the German army captured Moscow, it could effectively disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Soviet military and civilians and gain victory over the Soviet Union.
The complete victory of the war is actually the same as the Japanese who believed that the war would end if they occupied the Chinese capital and marched southward. The Japanese occupied Nanjing but failed to win, and the Germans naturally would not do so either.
On October 2, 1941, the German army dispatched thirty-five elite divisions and launched its first large-scale attack on Moscow. Under the personal command and supervision of Stalin, the Soviet army adopted an active defense policy and continued to carry out fierce attacks.
Counterattack and fight the German army at all costs to consume the German army's vitality and morale. The German army will fight until mid-month.
Already exhausted and daring not to fail, Hitler assembled more than 51 divisions and launched a massive attack on Moscow from both wings. The general offensive launched by the German army met with stubborn resistance from the Soviet army. The attacking troops suffered heavy losses. Although the German army
The armored reconnaissance battalion could already see the spire of the Kremlin, but the German offensive was still forced to halt.
Just when Hitler was in a dilemma and was unable to do anything, the Soviet army launched a counterattack with a hundred divisions. After more than a month of fierce fighting, the German army temporarily carried out a strategic retreat after losing more than fifty troops. The Soviet army gained Moscow.
First place in defense battle
stage victory, but the losses of the Soviet army were indeed more than five times that of the German army. 2.7 million Red Army soldiers were killed and more than 500,000 were captured. The new tanks equipped by the German army caused heavy losses to the Soviet army. Soviet tanks even
Even firing from a dozen meters away is of no avail.
The Germans obviously did a better job of propaganda than the Japanese. In addition, the conflicts between various ethnic groups in the Soviet Union were very deep. Without having a puppet regime, about two million puppet troops were organized to help the German army and its Axis forces cooperate in combat.
It can be said that in the early stages of the war, the German army took advantage of temporary favorable factors to launch a surprise attack. The advantages in weapons and equipment, and the military
The troops had already been mobilized and concentrated and had combat experience. They took advantage of the Soviet Union's misjudgment and lack of preparedness to break through the Soviet defenses in one fell swoop. They concentrated the armored forces and drove straight in, quickly occupying all of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and blockading most of Belarus and Ukraine.
Leningrad and the capture of Kiev were overwhelming.
The Soviet army initially attempted to respond to the German attack with a strategic offensive. However, the implementation of this strategy suffered serious setbacks and losses from the beginning, and put the Soviet army into an extremely difficult situation. It was forced to shift to strategic defense. The German army launched a massive attack on Moscow. The Soviet army
With the cooperation of extensive guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and active defense against exhaustion and consumption of the German troops, the front gradually stabilized. The Soviet side did not lack weapons, equipment and troops. What they lacked was time, time to produce weapons and equipment and train troops.
Although history has given a high evaluation to the phased victory in the Battle of Moscow, saying that it had a profound impact on the course of the Second World War and dealt a heavy blow to Hitler's arrogance in Germany, in fact this is just a view and view after the victory.
To put it bluntly, judging from the current overall war situation, the German army has an absolute advantage. In order to avoid
The superior armored forces suffered huge losses when they fell into street fighting. In addition, the winter in Moscow was not suitable for combat, so the German army carried out a strategic retreat. The Soviet army that pursued and counterattacked lost 20 divisions and more than 300 tanks due to the tenacious resistance of the German army.
, the T34 medium tank, which had high hopes, was almost vulnerable to the Germans' new Tiger tank.
Although Germany has a huge advantage, Gao Fei is not optimistic about the blind and arrogant Hitler. You must know that what is fought in the later stages of the war is the country's overall economic strength. Germany's industrial strength is far inferior to that of the United States. Local resources are extremely scarce. Modern war has a great impact on the economy.
It can be said that the dependence on conditions is getting stronger and stronger, and the position of economic power in the war is becoming more and more important, becoming an important factor in determining the outcome of the war. Germany used its temporarily expanded huge military strength to sweep across Europe. In fact, it is the same as Japan.
They are all drinking poison to quench their thirst.
