Eight hundred and eighty-fifth chapter decisive battle Newcastle
Politics has always been cruel, and this was still the case during the war years. Although the battle between the army and the navy in Japan was ultimately reflected in the degree of control over the war, it ultimately originated from the struggle at the top. The Japanese Army has always emphasized the national
Regarding the importance of the battlefield, or it can be said that the Japanese army has a relatively narrow vision, and its vision is only limited to Asia. Who in Asia is qualified to be Japan’s enemy? At present, apart from Japan, there is really no other country.
.Furthermore, if Japan wants to get rid of the fate of an island country and change its status as a "little recipient" given by God, it can only extend to the Asian continent. In this way, Japan will inevitably become a "stumbling block" for it. Of course, the Japanese Army personnel themselves
I would not think that when they interpreted this concept, they described themselves as "more pragmatic" and used it to express their differences from the navy people. In the past, the Japanese army people always suppressed the navy people, but now,
This situation has changed. Because of the existence of these two monsters, Koizumi Minichiro and Yamamoto Isoroku, the Japanese Navy not only is ahead of the army in tactical thinking, but also seems to know how to use momentum better. Konoe Mara came to power again, and for
The navy men returned to take charge of the military and even provided an opportunity to monopolize military resources. The most important thing is that the last efforts of the Japanese army men, under Ouyang Yun's strategizing, not only failed to achieve results, but also ruined nearly fifteen more lives in vain.
Ten Thousands of Armies. Far East Strategy. Although the Far East Front Army led by Umezu Yoshijiro successfully landed in Vladivostok, because Outer Mongolia has been incorporated into the country's territory, the country's Far East Expeditionary Force also entered the Soviet Far East at the same time. This strategy has actually failed. The Japanese Army
The dual attack plan on the east and west fronts formulated by the General Staff Headquarters seems feasible, but after the complete failure on the west front, it is actually impossible for the Japanese to take the initiative to complete their original strategic goals from the east front. Now, the only thing they can do
The only thing is to wait for the Germans to come over. In the past, Yamamoto Isoroku was influenced by Koizumi, and his attitude towards the Japanese battlefield or the cadet army once believed that it could be resolved through time. Now, facts have proven the error of their strategy——
The U.S. or military forces are far more powerful than they thought. At least, their development momentum is not inferior to theirs. Therefore, between the two rivals, the United States seems to be easier to bully. Originally, because of this key mistake, Yamamoto
There are reasons to stay away from Koizumi. However, because the South Asian military system led by Koizumi has risen like a comet and seems to have the ability to dominate South Asia. In addition, the Germans seem to be close to leaving the country, and the Americans are weak and easy to bully. Yamamoto
After careful consideration, it was decided to continue the previous policy, first south and then north, and simply leave the country or the military army to the final solution.
The above are the reasons why Koizumi Minichiro was able to once again become the military master of South Asia. After the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet led by Nagumo Chuichi was almost completely destroyed, between Koizumi Minichiro and Tsukahara 243, of course, Koizumi also has the ability to lead the overall situation.
Qualifications. And after once again getting the opportunity to prove that he is no match for Ouyang Yun, Koizumi has no reason not to go all out. And once the South Asian National Liberation Army system he has been running for many years is in full operation, it will immediately glow with powerful energy.
Okamura Neiji has the most experience in the application of military subordinates and the management of occupied areas. However, compared with Koizumi, due to the limitations of the times, his approach is obviously out of date. Koizumi's ideas come from mature Japan.
The business management concept is to manage the army under the family in a family way, emphasizing feelings and the concept of "sitting in the same boat." Another brilliance of Koizumi Higaoka is that even though his heart is actually towards the South Asian natives,
He is always squinting, but on his face, he can also show a respectful and kind expression. "The early bird catches the worm, and you will get a reward for your blood and sweat" - he implemented this policy towards the indigenous people of South Asia,
It was once considered absurd and frivolous, but when he needed the loyalty of South Asians, the advantages of this strategy came to the fore. For example, at the mobilization meeting to establish the South Asian Co-Prosperity Army, he frankly told the participating ethnic groups
An officer of the People's Liberation Army said: The Co-Prosperity Army is far more dangerous than the National Liberation Army - "To put it simply, the tasks performed by the Co-Prosperity Army will be more dangerous, and the chance of sacrifice will increase exponentially. Of course, efforts will be rewarded, the Co-Prosperity Army
The chances of winning honors and rewards will also increase exponentially - do you still have the courage to participate?"
With an army of 700,000, including 200,000 Japanese troops armed to the teeth, plus reinforcements from the Hainan Airlines Special Offensive Tactical Force, Koizumi believed that even if he could not win, he could at least maintain the current situation on the Australian battlefield. Then, he could
A steady stream of troops are being invested, "the Americans and the Chinese will be dragged to death". The United States and China are relatively far away from Australia, but they are almost within easy reach of New Guinea and Indonesia. In other words, Japan's supply capacity is
Far better than the United States and the United States. From this point of view, in the Australian battlefield, Koizumi did have the ability to drag down the United States and the United States to death. But he did not want to think that from the beginning he defined this battle as a long-term protracted war.
Mentally, he showed weakness first. If the United States and the United States adopt a stormy approach, will he be ready?
The first battle took place in Newcastle. Although the Newcastle defense line built by the US-Australian coalition forces had become dilapidated after repeated wars, its military value still existed, and it naturally became the target of continued competition between the Allied forces and the Japanese army. In this battle, the Japanese army was dispatched
The 50,000 Japanese troops and the 200,000 South Asian Co-Prosperity Army used nearly 300 tanks and more than 500 fighter planes. On the Allied side, in addition to Bai Liusu's Marine Corps, Chen Shichang supported Bai Liusu's four aircraft carrier formations.
, the U.S.-Australian Air Force provided approximately 150 fighter aircraft of various types.
The prelude to the war was, of course, the air battle. On the Japanese side, Sankeye Yamabekawa personally commanded the battle. On the Allied side, Wang Hai unified the air forces of the United States and Australia. The air battle lasted for about three hours. The Japanese army used about fifty conventional fighters and
The price of three hundred Fifty Special Attack aircraft was exchanged for about 330 Allied fighter planes. Among them, the U.S.-Australian coalition's fighter planes were almost completely lost, and the naval aviation force of the Pacific Fleet also suffered losses of more than four
One of them had to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.
At the end of the decisive air battle, ground troops came on stage. Both sides first invested in tank troops.
Tank combat has always been the strength of the Allied countries. It is necessary to point out that the US military used a new type of tank in this battle. Taking into account the various coefficients of the tank, its armor protection capabilities and artillery strike capabilities are not as good as
The Xuebing Army’s new Mandrill and the Japanese Army’s Zero tank have excellent mountain climbing capabilities. In a place called Grasse, Bai Liusu took advantage of the super maneuverability of this type of tank to complete the battle against
The Japanese army surrounded nearly a division of tank troops. This became the turning point of the battle.
