Chapter 955: The Road of Europe and Asia(1/2)

The world was in an uproar because no one expected that Japan would retreat so quickly on the battlefield in China. From the start of the war in 1937 to the present, Japan once occupied half of China's capital and even half of the country.

Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, etc. all fell at a speed that caught people off guard. No one was optimistic about the Chinese battlefield earlier.

Even the deductions of Washington's General Staff only believe that China can hold on for at most three months to half a year. Washington's inference was not wrong, but the mistake was that they did not calculate the defense force that later entered the customs.

When the Nanjing Government came and died in battle with the leader and most of the troops were dispersed in Wuhan, the National Defense Forces began to form a new China coalition government with the former Nanjing Government and various forces.

This government, which seemed to be pieced together, actually exuded amazing vitality and combat power. All the troops were quickly disbanded and reorganized, and a large number of weapons were dispatched.

Millions of troops of the National Defense Forces quickly entered the battlefield and replaced the defeated former Nanjing Government troops. When a series of large-scale battles were won, the government that was pieced together was not satisfied.

On the contrary, they began to carry out a comprehensive restructuring of the entire government under the leadership of Chairman Lin Sen. After the restructuring, the Mrs. Song, who had a high prestige and high popularity, took the team of the coalition government to the United States.

In the United States, the dignified and beautiful wife's efforts were extremely successful. Most Americans were fascinated by the style of this wife.

This lady has established a strong and hard-working spirit for herself and China. This is very consistent with American values. At least in the current American people, this spirit is still very marketable.

The lady did not ask for support to the United States as people imagined. She never even asked for donations or support. She just calmly told people what was happening in her motherland and why the soldiers fought.

Confidence, strength, dignity, beauty, etc. are the impression that Mrs. Song left to Americans. Son, Roosevelt, with the support of Congress and other forces, Mrs. Song is now almost synonymous with the most perfect woman in the United States.

She has her own career, which is to constantly promote the revolution in China. She is in a high position and even serves as vice chairman of the coalition government. She comes from a Christian family and has studied in the United States, which makes Americans feel a strong sense of intimacy.

But she did not ask the United States for assistance because her motherland was in crisis. She just calmly told the disasters and tragedies that happened there, and then took her soldiers to deal with the Japanese to the end.

And now, her motherland has won the victory. At least, the Japanese troops entrenched in China have been driven out of China's territory!

In contrast, the British Empire was much worse. There were only two of the eight aircraft carriers left, but they were still severely damaged. Battleships suffered heavy losses, while cruisers lost two-thirds of them.

The Royal Navy of the British Empire is considered to be aborted. Everyone knows that if this fleet wants to restore combat effectiveness, it will take at least a year to go. It may even be unable to restore its full combat effectiveness in three to five years.

The British Air Force also suffered heavy losses. The Spitfire fighter jets heading to support were attacked by continuous BF-109s, only more than a dozen of them finally barely returned to the British Isles.

The Hurricane-style base was completely lost. Against BF-109, the Hurricane was at a disadvantage in all aspects. In addition, Goering almost came out in order to show the capabilities of the Air Force. Some people later estimated that this Dunkirk Battle was at least twice as intense as the first Dunkirk Battle.

Just for aircraft carriers, there were ten ships in the second Dunkirk Battle. The total number of battleships between Britain and Germany exceeded twenty, and the remaining cruisers reached more than eighty!

All 55 submarines from Germany were dispatched. The British Air Force and Navy dispatched more than 500 various fighter jets. If Germany, including the Navy, dispatched a total of more than 1,000 fighter jets and bombers.

The entire battle lasted for nearly six hours, and the Germans paid a heavy price. The aircraft carrier's fighter group was damaged in all battles, the Bismarck battleship was sunk, and Tirpitz was severely injured.

As a battle cruiser, the Schánhorst was sunk and Gnaisenno was severely injured. On the pocket battleship, Admiral Gravspe was sunk, Admiral Schár was sunk and Deutsch was severely injured.

In terms of heavy cruisers, Blüchel, Seedlitz and Admiral Hippel were all severely damaged. Karlsruhe, as light cruisers, Konisburg and Leipzig were sunk, and the rest were slightly injured.

Four cruisers, Leibolecht Mass, Max Schultz, William Hydekham and Anton Schmitt, were sunk, and the rest were severely damaged.

But the most important aircraft carrier Zeppelin and Peter Strassell were hit by several heavy artillery. Fortunately, the damage was done well and there was no heavy damage.

In contrast, Denitz's submarine force had brilliant results and suffered minor losses.

According to statistics after the war, a total of fifteen submarines were sunk, and as many as twenty were injured. Fortunately, the British did not have sonar now, so they could only throw deep-water bombs based on their judgments. Otherwise, the losses of the submarine troops would be even more serious.

The one with the smallest loss was Goring's Air Force. This close attack brought great benefits to the Air Force. The shortened range of the BF-109 can finally get rid of the embarrassment of fifteen minutes of combat time.

They tried their best to tell the British that they were still the strongest combat eagle over Europe.

With less than two hundred fighter jets alone, Goring directly destroyed the combat effectiveness of almost the entire British Royal Air Force. Although Goring didn't know that Britain had sent all his own fire, shooting down so many fires still made Goring full of confidence.

But then Goring and Lütjens became frowning before they could enjoy the joy of victory. Because their heads of state could not wait, he demanded that the "Sea Lion Plan" be implemented immediately now!

"I can't wait! You all want me to wait for the naval warships, air force fighter planes, and transport fleets! I've been waiting for several months!" After receiving the war report, Hitler roared loudly in his command center: "Those damn British guys have now lost the ability to stop us, why not defeat them now?!"

"But the Head of State. Our fleet and pilots are now exhausted! If we forcefully fight..."

"Our enemy is exhausted too!" Before Marshal Raidel finished speaking, Hitler jumped up and shouted: "I know the navy is very hard, and I also know the air force is very hard! But I know even more that those British guys are even harder!"

Hitler said something so hard that Raidel was speechless. It was obvious that Hitler had been waiting for this moment. But he saw him roaring loudly at the generals of the German Wehrmacht in front of him.

"My generals! The Navy and the Air Force have made their contributions, and they have cleared the way to England! Now, as the pride of Germany, can our heroic Wehrmacht tell me with your record: those damn British people are vulnerable!"

It has to be said that Hitler was born with the ability to bewitch people's hearts. After his words, the German Wehrmachts could no longer sit still. The Navy and Air Force had already achieved their own share. They had defeated the forces that Britain could resist.

Under such circumstances, if all the generals of the English Channel were unable to defeat all the army generals and killed them on tofu. Moreover, these generals of the German Wehrmacht were also extremely jealous of the achievements of the Navy and the Air Force.

All the troops participating in the war this time showed their faces. The navy sank a large number of British warships. Even several aircraft carriers, the air force almost wiped out the fighter jets supporting the British Navy.

The submarines paid a very small price to send aircraft carriers, battleships and a large number of cruisers to the bottom of the sea. It is said that the captive British sailors were as high as tens of thousands.

"Yes! Dear Head! The National Welfare under your command is unparalleled! We will clear all the enemies in front of Germany, those damn British guys are vulnerable!!"

Almost at the same time, all the generals of the army stood up and shouted loudly. Raidel looked at these generals, knowing that things today would not be good.

"Dear Head, I know your determination and mood to win England. I am the same. But I hope at least, we can rest our soldiers for even one night. At least let them recover some of their physical strength and energy..."

Hitler looked at Redel and shook his head. He sighed: "Master Redel, the captain of the Glory, gave us a chance because he wanted to give his sailors some rest. I don't want this situation to happen again in us."

Redel stopped and then smiled bitterly without any advice.

"Generals! You should act now! This battle is your battle to seize glory!" Hitler's face turned red with excitement and said loudly: "In modern times, no one has been able to invade England! So, you will be the first group of soldiers to land on England! Go! Tell the world that our German soldiers are the most powerful in the world! No one can stop the rise of Germany!"

"Hi! Hitler!!" The generals of the army were even more excited when they heard this. There is no better gift to announce the resurgence of Germany than this! If you take England, the whole of Europe will be shrouded in the glory of Germany!

With the order of the head of state, the entire German team took action. As early as the beginning of the Sea Lion Battle Plan, the entire German team was preparing for this.

After the plan was established, the commander-in-chief of the Army, the commander-in-chief of the Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, which had a lot of contact with each other, was set up in Dunkirk for preparations.

In terms of strategic arrangement, the first thing is the Army's mission. The Army should plan to make war plans and cross-sea plans for all the troops on board the first wave of ships. The anti-aircraft artillery that crosses the sea will temporarily be under the command of the army before receiving support and covering ground forces, covering landing ports and covering air bases to be occupied.

In addition, the Army should allocate ferry equipment to each ferry cluster and negotiate with the Navy to determine the place of boarding and landing.

The navy needs to provide sea ferry equipment and transport sea ferry equipment to various boarding ships according to the army's navigation requirements. Since a large amount of materials are used for construction of combat readiness, all ferry ships requisitioned ships from defeated countries.

The Navy shall set up a Naval Staff at each ferry for naval consultation and equip such Naval Staff with frigates and guards. In addition to air forces performing surveillance missions, the Navy shall cover both ends of the entire strait passage.

Regarding the adjustment of command relations during the crossing of the river, the three-party staff will issue relevant orders based on the progress of the battle.

In addition, Germany also formed a large number of coastal artillery soldiers. The army and the navy were uniformly allocated artillery companies used to deal with maritime targets, and the organization of shooting commands was unified - these were also the navy's tasks.

During battle, all warships must be able to use as many heavy artillery as possible to cover the passage and flanks as soon as possible when landing.

Goring's Air Force's mission is to prevent the attacks of the enemy's air force. They need to destroy coastal fortifications that pose a threat to the landing area through air strikes, crush the initial resistance of the enemy's ground forces, and kill and injure the enemy's advance reserves.

In order to complete this task, the Air Force units must cooperate most closely with the Army's crossing cluster organizations. In addition, it must also destroy important transportation lines that the enemy can use to forward the reserve team to attack the enemy's naval forces that are still far from the crossing ground.

The parachute and aircraft landing troops will directly parachute and seize the British airspace after clearing the British army's airspace. Then the transport planes will transport the combat troops to the airport to form a node to strike the British army.

The landing location was determined to be in the UK - Ramsgate!

"General, I would like to say congratulations on your victory. But now it seems that you, like me, are not happy about the victory." Looking at the tired Lütjens, Gorene used a respectful word to the admiral who stole many of his pilots for the first time.

"General Goring. Do you think I can be happy?! The Head of State has ordered that the landing operation will start tomorrow at the latest. Now the army has begun to advance towards Dunkirk. I believe that we will also go to the designated area soon. But my soldiers and your pilots don't even have time to enjoy the joy of victory..."

Lütjens smiled bitterly and said, "Even my pilots suffered heavy losses, I don't know when I can replenish them..."

Looking at Lütjens with a frown, Gorein suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The air force came late, which led to the navy's separate operations. In order to ensure the final victory, Lütjens even sent bombers to carry out air combat missions.

This is called Goring very embarrassed. And the Air Force was able to achieve such a victory. Thanks to Lütjens, who originally proposed this plan, he arranged the plan and gave the Air Force this opportunity.

"You don't have to worry about this. After I go back, I will select two hundred pilots from the Air Force and send them to the Navy to replenish your aircraft carrier fighter fleet." Goren was rarely so generous. Lütjens quickly stood up with a smile to express his gratitude.

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, complained and then began to plan the issue of cooperation between the two sides during the battle.

At this time, a large number of German main forces had already sailed to Dunkirk. The ships of the captured defeated countries were also sailed to Dunkirk one by one.

The airborne troops had received the order and began to rush to the airport to prepare for parachute operations.

The Air Force and the current First Fleet did not receive the order to remove the combat readiness. Instead, they received the order to remove the combat readiness level. Everyone was excited to be busy again in exhaustion.

The Deutsche First Air Fleet simply refueled and replenished ammunition. After sending the wounded ashore for treatment, it was placed in the deep sea again.

"Damn it! Someone must be responsible for this failure!" Churchill roared angrily in the reception room at No. 10 Downing Street. The entire British Empire Royal Navy was almost wiped out in this battle.

This kind of blow is almost fatal to the UK. The worst thing is that the Spitfire fighter that can compete with the BF-109 has almost completely lost all of it in this battle.

Whether it is the Navy or the Air Force, it is impossible to restore combat effectiveness in a short period of time. The Air Force is better. Now it can produce thousands of aircraft per month. Although the fire spitting structure is complex, it can produce more than a hundred aircraft in about a week.

In addition, those hurricane fighters cannot fully compete with the Luftwaffe. But the most serious problem now is that without the navy, the material support for Britain will be a huge problem.

The Germans could completely encircle the entire English Channel, and Britain could do nothing. The most terrifying thing is that if the Germans launched a landing battle, the UK would probably be unable to defend.

The Navy should not count on it for at least one year. Although Air Force aircraft can be built, qualified pilots are not available at any time. Even rookies from aviation schools need at least two actual combat times before they can be considered qualified pilots.

Faced with the old vultures of BF-109 in Germany, Churchill did not think that many people in the Air Force could last until after three air battles.

"Prime Minister. Now is not the time to complain, nor is it the time to hold accountable. What we need to do now is to plan how to defend England!" Hugh Dauding was very sad. All the fire spitting in his hands was finished.

Those who can drive fire are elite pilots of the Air Force, and there are even many ace pilots. The losses in this battle have at least reduced the Air Force's combat capabilities by three levels.

"The Germans won't give us too much time. I believe they will launch a landing battle against us soon..."

The British cabinet is in a state of confusion, and the daily cabinet is not much better.

A large number of fighter jets appeared above the evacuation fleet, which almost caused the Japanese cabinet to collapse. Many of the transport ships were used by the Japanese army to transport materials.

Moreover, the Navy's joint fleet is still inside, and it is too late for everyone to cry if it suffers losses.

"Maru Noro! Why didn't our intelligence department play any role?! Why no one reported the recent abnormal air force movements of the National Defense Forces?! Damn it! All are idiots!!!"

Hideki Tojo roared at the Imperial Conference. Everyone looked gloomy and did not speak. The Navy sent a message that the National Defense Forces sent at least 500 fighter jets to carry out comprehensive attacks on the Japanese fleet in several waves.

Almost all of these sent were fighter jets. Few of them were bombers. These fighter jets were very cunning. They did not directly attack the warships, but were divided into two parts to attack the fleet.

Some of them continued to attack and intercept the fighter jets taken off from Japanese warships. The other part attacked those transport fleets and transport fleets supported by civilians.
To be continued...
