The first thousand and eighty-eight chapters of the Southeast Asian war
For the three warring parties on the battlefields of Osa and Sabi, Guderian's capture and the loss of combat effectiveness of the Second Armored Group were both accidents. The Germans and Soviets did not mention it, and they did not get it in advance. There was some news that Zhang Zizhong's Supreme Command had notified him in advance, but he didn't believe it at all. After all, the legend that he wanted to take the head of a general among thousands of armies only appeared in the era of cold weapons, but now it is hot. In the age of weapons, and the opponent was a world-famous powerful army, when he revealed this idea, Hu Li once reminded him that the junior officer had created a miracle in this area and captured alive the then division commander of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army, Doi. Hara Kenji, Zhang Zizhong believed that this was an accident. He believed that at that time, the military had not yet realized the power of special operations, and the Japanese army was far unable to compare with the German army. Because he did not believe it, after it became a fact, Zhang Zizhong He was inexplicably surprised but at the same time ecstatic, because he knew that there would no longer be any power to prevent him from achieving a complete victory on the Sabi battlefield, and as long as the enemies of Sabi were completely annihilated or made to lose their combat effectiveness, Osa There was bound to be a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle there, so he immediately agreed to Wang Chengyi's request to bombard the Second Armored Group Army with missiles, and at the same time began to mobilize troops and generals, preparing for a real big fight.
Zhang Zizhong was ready to let go, but Manstein did not give him this chance. The old German man was very decisive. He had just received the news that Guderian had been captured, and then issued a retreat order. He sent When the troops under his command issued the order to withdraw, someone once reminded him whether he should seek the opinion of the Ministry of Defense. To this, Manstein's answer was to wait until they evacuated to a safe area, "As long as we preserve the troops, then we can still We can establish a second line of defense in Kazan. If all the troops are lost, how can we protect the results of the previous battle? Are we going to be driven out of Soviet Russia by the Soviet Russians and the Chinese?"
Manstein retreated resolutely, but even though Zhang Zizhong and Timoshenko reacted quickly, they were still escaped by him. Of course, the top commanders of China and the Soviet Union were very unwilling to do so. However, because it was almost winter, The winter in Soviet Russia was not suitable for fighting. In the end, the Chinese and Soviet armies gave up the pursuit after chasing to the banks of the Kama River, and began to build fortifications on the spot to consolidate the results of the decisive battles between Osa and Sabi.
It can be said that the development of a decisive battle to this point is something that none of the three warring parties want to see. Of course, from the perspective of the German Ministry of Defense, they are fortunate that Army Group A did not suffer much losses after all; and from the perspective of the Soviets, , they have passed the most difficult period, and the worry of national subjugation is gone for the time being; as for Zhang Zizhong and his generals, because the losses in the troops were all the coalition forces, and the Japanese Peace Army among them, although they could not Seize the opportunity to tear off a piece of German flesh, but the troops can gain maximum results with minimum losses, which is fair to the country and themselves.
Of course, when writing this, we cannot forget Zhang Xuyun and his friends. This should be enough news for Xipumu to die in silence. That is, the Sidaolu team that he left behind to deal with Zhang Xuyun's pseudo-wolf fangs not only failed to solve it Zhang Xuyun, on the other hand, was caught by Zhang Xuyun's tail, and ended up being stewed after the Rangers caught up.
At this point, the contest between the Brandenburg troops and the Wolf Fang was completely defeated, which became the historical reason why the German special forces were dwarfed when they saw the Chinese special forces in the future.
About half a month later, just when the Chinese North African Expeditionary Force led by Chu Tiange officially entered Rommel's sight and began to blow a yellow whirlwind in North Africa, the battle between the US military and the Japanese army also began to unfold in New Guinea. One scene.
Because he was on the front line, MacArthur did not learn about the news that the Chinese army had captured Guderian alive until later. When he learned of this battle report, the frontline troops of the US-Australia coalition had just tried their best to drive away the Japanese (nationality). (Independence Army) coalition forces, so the first reaction of the old American man was a lot of emotion, feeling that his family was being left behind more and more by the Chinese army.
Although Americans will never admit it verbally, this is the actual situation. That is, they begin to regard the Chinese army, especially the Chinese Expeditionary Force, as a role model. They are not only learning from it, but also always trying to surpass it. In the American concept, they originally thought that equipment and logistical supply capabilities determine the strength of an army and the outcome of a war. Now, they are also beginning to focus on the courage and determination of sacrifice of soldiers, and are beginning to try to establish a type of special forces similar to the Japanese army's stand-up teams.
"The world cannot live without the Chinese." Lieutenant General Wainwright IV, who has had a lot of dealings with the Chinese military, said in a joking tone at the summary meeting that night.
Wainwright IV was still in the mood to joke because although the troops suffered relatively heavy casualties, they had been making progress after all, which was unimaginable before. In his words: Our troops now dare to sacrifice and are not afraid of sacrifice.
Indeed, the Americans were able to fight from Daru to Mendi in just over half a month because the troops were not afraid of sacrifice. In turn, it was precisely because of the relatively large sacrifices that they achieved such results, like Wainwright IV MacArthur and other senior U.S. military generals were particularly at ease and did not think that the Japanese army was deliberately releasing water but there was some conspiracy hidden behind it.
"The Chinese can indeed create miracles, can't they? I really can't imagine how more than thirty people can break into the headquarters of an army group and capture the enemy's top commander alive. I even doubt whether Guderian is The German anti-war faction is simply cooperating with the Chinese in acting. Can you imagine it?" Oprah, the commander of the Australian Army's 9th Division, said this.
"Perhaps there are more than thirty people at all. You should not ignore this piece of information. China's missile troops, I think they should first dispatch missile troops to carry out precision bombing on the German army, and then parachute the Wolf Fang in. Of course, it is not ruled out. The Chinese dispatched more than one regiment of Wolf Fangs, not a small Rangers." Among the U.S.-Australian coalition forces, the mainstream is always full of doubts about the Chinese army, and Oprah's praise came out, There was an immediate counterattack.
Seeing that a heated debate was about to start, MacArthur hurriedly interjected: "Let's put aside the Chinese affairs for the time being. Let's study how to arrange it tomorrow. Now, the Japanese army has retreated to Wabalao. If nothing unexpected happens, this It will be the last fortress of the Japanese army in New Guinea. As long as this fortress is destroyed, we will completely regain New Guinea..."
