The first thousand and forty-three chapters ready to move
No one knows that when Ouyang Yun made the decision to form a special operations team, he had this thought in his mind: Will there be a movie "Saving Private Zhang Xuyun" in a few years?
Regarding the candidates for the special operations team, because Ouyang Yun made the decision directly, it was naturally decided by him. Until now, the war has been going on, and the most indispensable thing on the Chinese side is special operations personnel. Therefore, Ouyang Yun spent a little time looking at it. After making a list, Ouyang Yun finally selected Xiao Yi and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the operation, and then responsible for the selection of members. When talking to Xiao Yi on the phone, Ouyang Yun made a clear request: "If you want to see people alive, you must see their corpses." "This is my request, please remember that Zhang Xuyun's parents are waiting eagerly for their son at home."
On the domestic battlefield, after the National Defense Forces and the Academy Army advanced to the front line in Beijing, the battle became difficult to fight. The Japanese side obviously knew the significance of Beijing to China, so Okamura Neiji reduced his troops and completely defended the city. Therefore, although the National Defense Forces and Academy Army The combined strength of the Bingjun Army was more than three times that of the Japanese North China Front Army, but Li Jiayu and Li Tieshu were cowardly and did not dare to make any big moves.
The calls of the people to "expel the Japanese aggressors and regain the old rivers and mountains" are getting louder and louder, and the Supreme Command has to attach great importance to it. After convening a series of meetings, Ouyang Yun gave a clear "final time limit". On behalf of the Supreme Command, The headquarters promised that it would completely drive the Japanese invaders out of the country by the end of 1945, and that Japan would completely lose its war capabilities. In the "Notice" issued after the meeting, he said: "...the Japanese army uses the ancient buildings in Beijing as their In an attempt to prevent the liberation operations of our National Defense Forces and Cadet Forces, I am here to assure the general public and also solemnly warn the Japanese government that if the ancient buildings in Beijing are really damaged due to war, then we will make a comparison with Japan. Ten’s Revenge…”
Since the Ryukyu Islands were captured by the Xuebing Army, Japan's maritime superiority has actually ceased to exist. Of course, Japan's current Konoe Fumimaro cabinet has gone "crazy (Ouyang Yun's original words)" and actually wants to mobilize all the people to resist. Therefore, if we attack the Japanese mainland at this time, the price will definitely be very high. In this regard, the opinion of the Supreme Command is that after stabilizing the world war situation and comprehensively containing the German offensive, we will form a coalition army to counterattack the Japanese mainland and "let the war It is in our interests to carry out our activities as far as possible outside the region. Moreover, defeating fascism is not only the responsibility of our Chinese family. Why is it just our soldiers bleeding on the front? What about the Americans, the British, and the Australians? They can It is also a victim of Japanese militarism..." The performance of the Allied Forces on the Soviet-Russian battlefield also exceeded the expectations of the Supreme Command, and also made them sincerely agree with Ouyang Yun's plan, so not only Ouyang Yun, but also Feng Yuxiang and Chen Cheng also became enthusiastic about the construction of the coalition army, believing that this could minimize the casualties of their own soldiers and preserve the vitality for the country's future development.
With the current size of China's military and technological strength, it is actually fully capable of marching into Japan on its own. However, because Japan still retains a certain scale of maritime power and Japan has begun to strengthen the defense construction of its offshore islands, it can What is conceivable is that even if China can defeat Japan alone, the price will be quite high, and this will definitely not be conducive to the Supreme Command's post-war attempt to "dominate" the Pacific and even the world. Therefore, when the super bomb can truly Before it is put into use, it would be foolish for China to counterattack the Japanese mainland alone.
The Leapfrog tactic was questioned by many people and even the US military when it was first launched. But now, after the Xuebing Army successfully occupied the Ryukyu Islands and completely separated the Japanese mainland from its Southeast Asian resource base, the doubts have disappeared, and it has caused the US military to march. strong aspirations in the Pacific and South Asia,
The reason why the United States can rise rapidly is closely related to its successive governments' proficiency in making war profits. Americans have long coveted the resources and markets in South Asia. During the period of Great Britain's empire, Americans still wanted to seize it from the British. Food, now naturally does not want to see China dominate and enjoy the dividends of the war. Therefore, when China's leapfrog tactics are fully revealed, the Americans who are aware of the stakes cannot sit still. Once, the U.S. government planned I really want China to take over all the wars against Japan, as long as they can kill as few people as possible. Now, maybe they think they have seen the nature of the Japanese combined fleet, which is strong externally but weak internally. Maybe they feel that Japan's South Asia base is far away from the mainland and easy to bully. Maybe it's because Japan has lost its control over the South Pacific. The control of New Guinea was no longer able to pose a threat to the United States. The Americans began to actively plan a counterattack against New Guinea and tried to return to the Pacific.
"The Chinese Pacific Fleet even copied its name from ours. How can they be allowed to dominate? Mr. President, I think it is time for us in the United States to show our strength to the world. You know the situation in the Philippines. I look forward to it." Our returning Filipinos are still organizing guerrilla armed forces to resist hard..." The person who said these words was Secretary of the Navy Knox. In the Australian and Pacific battlefields, Secretary of the Army Stimson fully attributed the responsibility for the failure when summarizing the reasons for the failure. The Navy pointed out that due to the inaction of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the Army was suppressed by the Japanese Combined Fleet before engaging the Japanese army. As a result, it was impossible to obtain a fair combat environment. The result was consecutive defeats. It believed that the Navy should serve Australia and the Pacific. The government should pay for the failure on the battlefield, so the government should adjust the existing military development strategy and set a tone that favors the army to ensure that the east is not bright and the west is bright, so that the army can play a greater role in the battlefields of North Africa and the Middle East.
It was three months ago that the U.S. military sent troops to North Africa and the Middle East. At first, it was because of the British request, and later because the Soviet Union contained a large number of German troops on the battlefield, which made the U.S. government think it had an opportunity to take advantage. Of course, because of this The German army in this time and space is much stronger than that time and space in terms of weapons, equipment and troop organizational capabilities. Therefore, the rash addition of the US military did not make a good start like that time and space. Instead, it suffered consecutive defeats. This is not difficult. I understand that Stimson wanted to take the initiative to attack the Navy.
Just like the dispute over the land and navy in the Japanese military, the dispute between the army and the navy in the U.S. military is also a long-standing problem. Roosevelt did not have any good solution to this problem. Instead, Stimson and Knox only considered it purely from a military perspective. The problem is different. No matter what problem he thinks about, he must consider the overall situation. Therefore, even if he is more disappointed with the performance of the Navy, due to practical needs, he has to take the initiative to side with Knox and help the latter fight with Stimson.
