"The latest news from the United Press, at three o'clock this morning local time, the US military launched an attack on the Daru area of New Guinea occupied by the Japanese..."
On the third day after Yamamoto's death, the Americans' long-planned counterattack against Japan began. For this battle, the U.S. military assembled a total of more than 200,000 troops, of which the navy, mainly the Pacific Fleet, dispatched 100 troops.
There are more than 70,000 ships of various types and more than 70,000 officers and soldiers, including more than 40,000 Marines. The Army dispatched nearly 150,000 people, including two land-based aviation regiments, a total of more than 600 fighters and 10,000 soldiers.
Remaining officers and soldiers.
The U.S. government reported this counterattack organized by the U.S. military to the Allied Pacific Command and notified the Chinese coalition government. Therefore, Ouyang Yun and other senior officials in the coalition government knew about it before the war broke out.
Different time and space, different World War II is going on now. If you want to vote for which country is the most useless, of course it has to be the United States. It obviously has first-class strength and has indeed made huge contributions to the allies. However, in
It’s okay to have no achievements on the battlefield. Sadly, because of repeated defeats on the battlefield, the efforts made in other aspects were directly ignored, and even the right to have a say in Pacific affairs and even Allied affairs was limited.
After condescending to China.
"It seems that the Americans are not at ease with the status quo. It's good that we send troops to North Africa without any worries." After the news of the U.S. military's counterattack on New Guinea was confirmed, Chen Cheng first raised this topic at the regular military council that day.
.
The culprit for the American's current situation is undoubtedly Koizumi Toshiichiro, and the second-ranked culprit is undoubtedly Ouyang Yun. Of course, Ouyang Yun himself will never admit it, and in the dead of night, when he is thinking about everything since time travel,
Ouyang Yun thought of the current world situation. What he was most satisfied with was not that he had changed the rhythm and process of the Sino-Japanese war, but that he had successfully contained the United States.
In view of the fact that Ouyang Yun often talks about "looking at current problems with a long-term perspective" in private, the military bosses in the Supreme Command, led by Chen Cheng, have a strategic perspective when looking at the current war situation.
See through the reasons why the United States chose to counterattack New Guinea at this time.
"The Americans should be able to win this time. There are more than 200,000 troops and a fleet of nine aircraft carriers. Hey, you wouldn't know if you didn't pay attention. This attention is really shocking. How long has it been?
The Americans have built nine fleet aircraft carriers." It was Feng Yuxiang who said this. This time, it was rare that he did not oppose Chen Cheng.
After Feng Yuxiang, Deng Xihou looked at Ouyang Yun and said: "This shows the industrial strength of the United States. Chief, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun did not answer his question immediately, but asked Chen Cheng: "The US government's telegram did not ask us to participate in the war."
Chen Cheng nodded affirmatively.
A smile appeared on Ouyang Yun's face and he said: "I am now very much looking forward to the telegram for help that Roosevelt will send me."
"The United States will lose." Marshal Zhang's eyes widened.
"I didn't say that the United States would lose, but if the commander-in-chief of the US ground forces was still MacArthur, I think Koizumi Toshiichiro should be able to deal with it."
"Ouyang, what do you mean, I hope the Japanese can win." Marshal Zhang smiled.
"Of course I hope the Americans can win, but as you all know MacArthur, he always thought that the US military's technology and tactics were the most advanced, haha." Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"MacArthur is stubborn and always thinks that what we can do can be done by them. The only difference between the US military and us is equipment. Just in case, I suggest reminding Guo Kui and Chen Shichang to prepare them for emergencies. Preparation for the event." Chen Cheng said.
"Could it be that if the US military is really defeated, we still have to wipe their butts for them?" Xue Yue frowned.
Ouyang Yun: "This matter is not urgent. Next, our focus will still be on Soviet Russia and North Africa. By the way, have Xiao Yi and others reported any new information?"
Chen Cheng's face became solemn and he replied: "Not yet, but they may be maintaining radio silence now."
The special operations team led by Xiao Yi was indeed in a state of radio silence at this time, because at this time they had penetrated deep into the Second Armored Group Army.
In an unknown forest near the lake, Xiao Yi and the others were lurking in the trees, watching the large German troops driving past a few hundred meters away. Sweat could not help but form on the palms of their hands, including Xiao Yi's.
In terms of military appearance, the German army at this time is indeed worthy of the title of the strongest army in the world. The terrain of Chernushka is complex and is not suitable for large troops to march. However, in such terrain, the German army was unable to advance when large troops advanced. Still able to maintain a strict formation, Xiao Yi had to praise Guderian for "managing the army well". The German army has always maintained a strict formation, which added a lot of difficulty to Xiao Yi's actions. The problem of skin color It was decided that it was almost impossible for them to disguise themselves as Germans, so they had to take advantage of the chaos or the cover of night to carry out reconnaissance. It was even more difficult to get close to the heavily defended headquarters.
Xiao Yi and the others found the traces of the Second Armored Group the day before and followed them along the way. After the reconnaissance failed last night, Xiao Yi decisively decided to move ahead of the German army and ambush them in advance on the edge of this road that the German army must pass through. in the woods.
Xiao Yi's original plan was to see if it was possible to take advantage of the narrowness of this road to get a chance to behead someone, but now he must be disappointed. "Is it possible that we can only wait for a large-scale battle to have a chance?" Xiao Yi said. Thinking about this, he watched dozens of tanks drive past him and subconsciously shrank his head. After the tank array rumbled past, he was about to lead everyone away when a new group of German soldiers suddenly appeared and caught his attention. .
"They should be in the same army as the group of people who opened the way." Beside him, Lu Gaoliang said softly.
What Xiao Yi noticed was another detail. He whispered: "They are not tall."
Lu Gaoliang looked at it carefully after hearing this, and immediately understood what he meant, and responded in a low voice: "Then find an opportunity to kill them."
"You should be from the same group as us, so the difficulty will not be low."
"Brandenburg, but we are Wolf Fang."
This was what Xiao Yi was happy to hear. He glanced at Lu Gaoliang and a smile flashed in his eyes.
The German snipers in the Sypm Cluster are already quite professional. For example, they are equipped with special camouflage uniforms, and their faces are painted with oil paint. This gives Xiao Yi and others the opportunity to disguise themselves. They have camouflage clothing and oil paint. As a cover, and there are many of them who can speak German, it will not be a problem to get close to the German patrol and extract the password at that time. As long as this problem is solved, they can further reach Guderian's headquarters. There is hope.
People who come out of the Wolf Fang never lack the courage to enter the tiger's den and get the tiger's cubs. Even if there is only one percent chance of success, Xiao Yi and the others will think it is worth trying.
