Chapter 1619 The hundred-footed worm dies but not stiff
"Haha, it's not bad, it's not bad!"
After returning a salute to the seafarers, Yang Fan smiled and looked back at the excited deputy commander of the Hu Ben Navy Cang Junquan, saying, "Our navy has taken another solid step forward, and the Allies are now winning victory in the Pacific battlefield.
The Japanese combined fleet is almost at its end. It will probably not take long before our Shandong navy can officially go out to sea to fight and beat the dogs in the water."
"That's good, we have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"
Cang Junquan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly smiled and said, "Master General, Commander Liu and his team have now reached the Mariana Islands. The straight-line distance from us is only 3,400 kilometers, and it is only a few hours to fly.
It can be described as looking across the sea. Now Commander Liu and Staff Qiao and others are fighting all over the place and constantly attacking cities and villages. Our brothers here have long been extremely jealous and wish they could launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese like them now."
"I fully understand everyone's mood!"
Yang Fan nodded with a smile. Not to mention that the newborn calf under his command is not afraid of tigers, he has been unable to hold on and wants to do something big, and now he is a little impatient.
However, the navy in Shandong really has no capital to rush. Not to mention that it is not an opponent of the Japanese navy at all, even if the Japanese navy is completely out of the blue, he cannot order the fleet to directly attack the Japanese mainland.
Because it is obvious that the fleet under his command is not as good as the shore defense artillery and land-based combat aircraft group, let alone launching landing wars or something.
But, the Army can make a wave of it.
In order to get rid of the dilemma of the Pacific battlefield and open up the transportation line in mainland China, the Japanese army launched the long-planned "Operation No. 1 Battle Plan" starting from April 1944.
After more than four months of large-scale military war, the Japanese army initially achieved strategic goals after paying a considerable price, not only conquered Changsha and occupied Hengyang, but also put unprecedented military pressure on Chongqing Jiadu.
As for the Hu Ben Army, there are also huge pressures. In the past few months, it has maintained a very fierce war of attrition.
Due to the crazy and desperate Japanese army, the Hu Ben Army, which made it so powerful for a while, could not move forward happily.
Although the Pacific battlefield was retreating step by step, the absolute national defense circle was torn apart, and the situation in the Chinese battlefield was getting more and more difficult, as the saying goes, "the centipede dead but not dead", the Japanese Empire did not give up treatment, but was rapidly improving in military technology.
Not long ago, the Japanese army not only began to produce four-type medium tanks with a total weight of 30.8 tons and an advanced level than the Sherman tank, but also successfully developed a series of combat aircraft such as the p1y2-s aurora night fighter, a7m ferry interceptor, and even helicopters were able to produce industrially.
In addition, new equipment that can affect the direction of war is also being developed in progress.
There is no doubt that if Nazi Germany had not been defeated too quickly, if they could have given them one more year, if the atomic bomb factor was not taken into account, and with the Japanese's madness and the massive war resources they occupied, they would have the capital to resist stubbornly.
But there are not so many ifs in the world, and what should come will eventually come!
At present, Japan is already under the influence of both sides, and the increasingly fierce war is consumed, which has long been in a state of incoming income and inability to make technical equipment such as Japanese aircraft, tanks, and cannons.
Especially in the Air Force, not only is there a serious shortage of pilots, but the production of aircraft is far from enough. Although their aircraft manufacturing level is rapidly improving, it is too late.
In this case, Yang Fan could naturally beat the dog down and use his powerful air superiority to further consume the Japanese Air Force until he gained air supremacy and eliminate all air threats.
By that time, the Chinese Tiger Army could fully utilize the advantages of three-dimensional land and air combat, and unscrupulously push and crush, cross the tower and kill, and smash all the enemy troops that were stubbornly resisting on the road ahead.
Changchun, Kwantung Army Headquarters Building.
Ishihara Kaner sat upright on the office chair, holding a document in his hand, and was looking down.
From his frowning brows, his gloomy eyes, and his tense face, it is not difficult to see that Ishihara Kaner is in a bad mood at this moment.
In the past year, the situation in the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Axis power camp retreated steadily until it fell apart. Today, Nazi Germany only had one last breath and Japan was about to reach the end of its path.
At this moment, Ishihara Kanir was holding an urgent telegram from the new cabinet prime minister Koiki Aki.
The telegram was roughly instructed by the fall of the Mariana Islands and the empire's mainland was exposed to the threat of US strategic bombers. The Japanese base decided to move some important military-industrial enterprises to Manchuria and asked Ishihara Kanr to cooperate with him.
The former old enemy was forced to resign as prime minister, army minister and chief of staff a month ago, and ended up bleakly from the military and political stage.
Logically speaking, Ishihara Kanir should be happy, but when he heard the news, he only felt lonely and colic in his heart, and there was no slight pleasure in gloating.
Because Tojo's miserable ending was caused by the fall of all the Mariana Islands, the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were burned, and more than a dozen imperial generals died for their country as a tragic background!
If possible, Ishihara Kaner would rather that old enemy would stay on the Diaoyutai all his life and never be forced to step down because of the tragic failure of the empire.
It’s just that the cold reality will not change with personal subjective consciousness.
Now the Allies have pushed from the Pacific battlefield to their doorstep, and the absolute national defense circle has disappeared.
On the European battlefield, the demise of German allies has become an irreversible fact.
Once the European war is over, the Soviet Union will soon rush to advance eastward, and the Japanese Empire will undoubtedly make things worse and fall into a desperate situation of fighting on the third line.
By that time, facing the allies of the world, what will the Great Japanese Empire use to resist and resist stubbornly?
There is no doubt that there is no chance of winning at all. Even if the Great Sun Empire is covered with iron, there is no way to be an enemy of the whole world!
"Dongdongdongdongdong", just as Ishihara Kanir was in deep thought, the office door was knocked.
"Kun Yoshimoto, you are here, please come in!"
Ishihara Kanr subconsciously turned his head and saw the Chief of Staff Sakichi Yoshimoto standing at the door with a telegram in a sad expression. It seemed that nothing was good.
