After Mussolini was ousted from power, he was imprisoned. Hitler did not want to lose this idiot ally, so he sent paratroopers in the hope of rescuing him. However, Mussolini in this time and space was not as lucky as in history. Germany
When the rescuers arrived, they were spotted by the Italian guards, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
Most of the Italian guards were killed. The Germans successfully escaped with Mussolini from the villa where he was imprisoned. However, Italian reinforcements arrived immediately. During the battle, Mussolini was killed. The three men who started World War II
Mussolini, one of the main culprits, ended his life in this way.
After hearing the news on the radio, Emperor Hirohito suddenly had trouble sleeping and eating, and was restless. He always had a very uneasy premonition in his heart that he would follow in the footsteps of Mussolini and be killed by the Allies.
Like a bedbug. What he is more afraid of is being sent to a military court by the Allies, in which case he will be embarrassed in front of everyone like a beast in the zoo. These terrible thoughts continue to torture Hirohito, and he
Prime Minister Kuniaki Oiso has been summoned for several days, hoping that he can come up with a feasible plan.
Since Koiso Kuniaki came to power, the biggest news he has made is the suicide attack. However, all the special attack teams of the sea, land and air achieved the expected results that turned the world around, and the Allies continued to advance steadily. Hirohito tried several times to avoid this incompetent attack.
The position of Prime Minister, but looking throughout Japan, there is no candidate to replace him.
In the original history, the person who succeeded Koiso Kuniaki was Suzuki Kantaro. However, at this time, Suzuki had been captured by the Allies and was eating wormwood in a prisoner of war camp. Among Japan's remaining old, weak, sick and disabled generals, either
It's because he doesn't have enough qualifications or ability, and he has enough of both but is unwilling to take on this hot potato. Therefore, Koiso Kuniaki can only survive.
Just when the Allied troops surrounded Osaka, the Japanese army suffered another fatal blow. That was the surrender of the Osaka Division!
The so-called Osaka Division is the oldest division in Japan. It is well-equipped and has four regiments under its jurisdiction. Judging from the data, this unit is definitely one of the most elite forces in Japan, but the reality is far from that.
This Osaka Division was known as the No. 1 useless division of the Imperial Army. In the original historical time and space, as long as the Osaka Division made a fool of itself. Even in battles that could be won, the Chinese army would be devastated by their appearance.
Morale is boosted, thus turning defeat into victory.
Although the Osaka Division, which has been repeatedly defeated in battles, has the reputation of being a loser, this division is also the luckiest among all Japanese armies. In the brutal battles, other elite Japanese divisions were wiped out one after another, and only
The Osaka Division has been well preserved.
The main reason is that Osaka is a city with a strong commercial atmosphere, and all the soldiers are traders. They lack enough respect for the emperor and the Japanese government who continue to squeeze them. These people prefer to care about things and are unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices.
.Therefore, this unit has become an anomaly among all Japanese armies.
When the Chinese and American Allied Forces launched an attack on Osaka, the Japanese Supreme Command decided to send the Osaka Division to garrison their homeland. These people were unwilling to fight to the death elsewhere. After all, they were not even willing to defend their hometown!
In particular, the Japanese government was inspired by the example of the Kumamoto Division being defeated in Kumamoto and refusing to retreat. Therefore, it widely adopted the strategy of local people defending the local area, hoping that Japanese soldiers would fight to the death to protect their hometown elders.
.This strategy was very effective. Most of the Japanese soldiers in the cities fought desperately and caused a lot of casualties to the Allied forces. However, this method did not work well in Osaka.
The people of Osaka had already made calculations. They believed that Japan had no chance of winning. Now they chose to fight to the death with the Allies not to protect their homeland, but to destroy it. They did not want to die together like Kumamoto.
Therefore, privately, the citizens of Osaka elected their own representatives, secretly contacted the Allies, and expressed their willingness to help the Allies fight. Of course, there was only one prerequisite, and that was that the Allies must protect the lives and property of Osaka citizens as much as possible.
.Furthermore, after the Osaka Division surrenders, they must be treated as prisoners of war and cannot be used as laborers at will.
This situation can be said to be the first time the Allied forces have encountered it since they landed. The Japanese generally gave the Allied forces the impression of being very tenacious and crazy. How could they surrender before the war started? Therefore, some people even suspected that this was a false surrender.
However, the matter reached Qiao Yu's ears, and Qiao Yu immediately gave an order to Liu Xiang, asking him to agree to Osaka's request and to protect the lives and property of Osaka people as much as possible. Qiao Yu did this just to set an example for others to follow.
The stubborn Japanese see a glimmer of hope for survival. As long as they don't go all the way with the Japanese government, they can survive.
Of course, Liu Xiang did not dare to neglect, and immediately agreed to the Osaka representative's request, and also promised to provide certain humanitarian aid to the people of Osaka, including food and medicine, etc., which are the most urgently needed things in Japan.
During the Allied landing operations, more than three million Japanese were killed, but during this period, more than 10 million Japanese died of hunger and plague. The phenomenon of cannibalism occurred in many Japanese villages, and even
Some elderly Japanese take the initiative to commit suicide in order to leave their bodies to the next generation so that they can live on.
Now that the Allies had promised to provide Osaka with food, these Osaka people who were traders could no longer resist the temptation. Therefore, the Osaka Division and Osaka citizens immediately launched an uprising, took control of key areas in the city, and surrendered to the Allies.
The Chinese and American troops immediately arrived in Osaka and captured the gateway to Tokyo without a single blow. What made the Allies laugh and cry the most was that on the second day after entering Osaka, the soldiers of the Osaka Division soon ran to the Allied military camp.
A variety of souvenirs are sold in the front, including exquisite sabers used by the Japanese army, medals, various trinkets, etc.
It is unacceptable that there is such a strange army in the fanatical Japan, but it does exist. In the eyes of the Japanese government, the actions of the Osaka Division are absolutely shameless betrayal and the most intolerable
things.
This also produced a serious chain reaction, and Japan was shaken all over the country. The Allies also took the opportunity to send out propaganda that the enemies of the Allied forces were the Japanese government and militarists. As long as ordinary Japanese people could distinguish right from wrong and voluntarily abandon the Japanese government, they would
Able to gain new life.
This kind of propaganda is still very effective. The Japanese people's will to resist is constantly disintegrating. The Allied forces are advancing faster and faster, and they are getting closer and closer to Tokyo.
At this time, a brutal battle was also taking place on the other side of the earth. The Allied forces, a million-strong force, launched a counterattack under the cover of sea and air forces. A large number of Allied soldiers appeared on the beaches of Normandy.
The Allies divided a total of five landing sites. China was assigned Omaha Beach, and the United States and Britain each occupied two beaches. The troops selected by China were elite forces that had been tested by war, and many of them had also participated in the landing on Kyushu Island.
, very experienced in very large-scale amphibious landing operations.
However, the harsh sea conditions in Western Europe still caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese army. When crossing the English Channel, a landing boat was overturned by the waves, and more than 20 soldiers died. After approaching the beach, three more landing boats
Hit a mine.
Moreover, all the way along the voyage, these soldiers were exhausted and depressed. The cold water made these soldiers tremble. Fortunately, most of the Chinese soldiers are the descendants of fishermen. They have been on the sea since they were young and have excellent water quality.
There was no large-scale seasickness, which was much better than American soldiers.
Before the landing ship could reach the beach, it was violently attacked by German artillery fire. The torrential rain of bullets and shells greatly suppressed the advance speed of the Chinese army. However, these tenacious warriors still successfully landed on Omaha Beach, and
The first batch of heavy weapons was transported to the beach.
More than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles formed an impact arrow. They braved the fierce German artillery fire and broke through the German defense line. Finally, they won a wide enough landing field for the follow-up troops. Then a large number of soldiers continued to set foot on European soil.
, follow-up equipment also arrived one after another, and the Chinese army finally succeeded in gaining a foothold.
This is the second time that the Chinese army has set foot on the soil of Western Europe. During World War I, the Chinese army actually acted as cannon fodder to a large extent. However, by World War II, China's status had undergone earth-shaking changes and it was the real dominant force.
One of the world's forces.
The Chinese army's arrival in Western Europe is also a solemn oath that the poor and weak old China has disappeared and has been replaced by a strong China.
Not only the Army was like this, but there was also a stalemate in the sky at this time. The Germans had already noticed the Allied landing operations. They quickly dispatched a large number of combat aircraft into the skies over Normandy. The Allied Air Force carried out a desperate battle.
Contest.
At this time, the most dazzling star in the sky is the German Me262 jet fighter. This fighter has no propellers and is completely an anomaly among all aircraft. However, this anomaly is like lightning, with amazing speed and ferocious firepower.
.
When the two sides just started fighting, more than twenty Allied aircraft were shot down, while the German side only lost four aircraft. The ratio of five to one made the Allies feel chilling. If this continues, the Allied air force will
The advantage will be completely flattened, which is the last thing the Allies want to see.
The new German fighter jets were rampaging on the battlefield, but they soon encountered their opponent on Omaha Beach, which was the Tejiang jet aircraft equipped by China. Before World War II, the accumulation of technology had reached a certain level, and the new
The scientific and technological revolution has begun to dawn, but countries still don't know how to click on the technology tree, so there is a period of confusion in military equipment. Soon new technologies and new ideas are not fully utilized.
However, thanks to Qiao Yu's guidance, China does not have this problem. China's outstanding weapons experts have lived up to expectations and designed a cross-era weapon such as jets. The first contest between jets in human history is about to take place.
