"These battles were fought with majesty and heroism!" In a house, a middle-aged man with a beard sighed, "What a pity, these tens of thousands of men."
"Dad, don't be so pity."
"It's a pity that Dongfeng won't go along with Zhou Lang." The middle-aged man sighed again, "You little bastard, how was your homework today?"
"father……"
"Go do your homework."
"oh."
When the young man walked into the house, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and continued to think about the situation in front of him. As far as the situation was concerned, the independent division had suddenly emerged. In addition, the generals of the independent division were seemingly inseparable from the Kuomintang. I am afraid that in the later stage, even
The appearance doesn't even match up. If that's the case, it will be another disaster for the country.
Why? Because now the pressure from the Japanese on China has been reduced a lot.
Many people also had other thoughts.
The outcome of the anti-Japanese war can already be predicted, but what should we do about the domestic situation?
"Someone, prepare a car!"
"yes!"
…
"Boss, these battles of the independent division must be reported and commended, right?"
"Of course, these battles have been very impressive! With the cooperation of our Eighth Route Army, the Japs are in northwestern Shanxi and North China, and even in central China, which can be regarded as a serious loss of vitality. Especially in Anhui, the Japs' control has been much weaker."
"Then are there any follow-up plans? We can't let the Japs come here again!"
"That's true, let's do this. First, the whole army will announce the commendation, and the soldiers who died will be added as martyrs. As for pensions, we don't have to worry about the independent division, but we must learn from the spirit of the independent division!"
"yes!"
"Also, we are going to have a meeting later to discuss whether we should also bring some county towns down to give the devils some color. The devils in the province are always trying to take advantage of us!"
"yes!"
…
The reputation of the independent division among the people has once again reached its peak.
"Weiguo, the people have been clamoring for revenge on the soldiers recently." Liu Yuan sighed while holding a pile of documents.
"There is no way. The Japanese must adopt a defensive posture, and they may not be able to fight in this way in the future." Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "What's more, our soldiers also need to be repaired. Although there will be several reserve brigades in the future, but
There are only three, and there are two reserve brigades, which are responsible for important guard tasks."
"With three brigades, it would be very difficult for us to fight another battle like this."
"Then what should we do? We have to fight!"
"Slow down for a moment and let's look at the situation of the Japanese in the Pacific!" Zhou Weiguo said. He remembered that the Battle of Midway Island should be about to start. If the Japanese Navy launched a full-scale attack, then he could do it on the Japanese mainland.
article, however, it seems that the maps deduced at that time were sent to the Admiralty.
"Prepare a car and go to Haiyang!"
"Ah?" Liu Yuan was puzzled.
"It's okay, brother, let the soldiers calm down and take a good rest. There will be plenty of fighting!" Zhou Weiguo said, "Don't let the soldiers get too excited. As for the people's emotions, they will stabilize after a while."
"Okay. Are you going to Haiyang to fight against the Japanese navy?" Liu Yuan was curious for a while.
"Well, let's take a look at the situation. If I remember correctly, we may have some leaks that we can fix." Zhou Weiguo smiled, packed his things, and was about to go out.
"Okay." Liu Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
…
June 2, Haiyang.
"Brother, why are you here?" Liu Zhihui's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Weiguo appearing at the naval headquarters. He has been planning something these past few days.
"Why? Can't come?" Zhou Weiguo smiled and saw the map he had deduced on the wall, "Are you thinking about fighting the Japanese?"
"yes!"
"Teacher!" Zhang Qian stood up.
"Well, how's the research going?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
"If the Japanese really attack Midway Island as the master predicted, then we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it." Zhang Gan smiled. Now, the independent division navy is considered to be strong, with 4 fleets. , practice every day.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "I thought the same thing." Then, Zhou Weiguo walked to the edge of the map, looked at the location of Midway Island, and recalled that it should be within the next few days. The Battle of Midway Island was a major turning point in the Pacific battlefield. , four Japanese aircraft carriers and three heavy cruisers sank to the bottom of the sea, and hundreds of aircraft were damaged in the battle. It was the first major victory for the Allied forces in the war against Japan, and it was also a famous battle in which the U.S. Navy defeated more with less.
"Master, speaking of which, why is it Midway Island?" Zhang Qian was still worried about this.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Because of its special geographical location, its strategic position is very important. You see, it is almost 2,800 nautical miles away from San Francisco in the United States and Yokohama in Japan. It is midway on the Pacific route between Asia and North America, so it is The name of the island is Midway. Most importantly, it is 1,135 nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor. It is an important military base and transportation hub for the United States in the Central Pacific region, and is also the gateway and outpost of the U.S. military in Hawaii. Once Midway is lost, the U.S. Pacific Fleet will Our base camp, Pearl Harbor, will also be devastated."
"But Pearl Harbor, wasn't it almost attacked by the Japanese before?" Zhang Qian was confused again.
Zhou Weiguo could not explain this incident. In later generations, there have been conspiracy theories about the attack on Pearl Harbor, saying that the United States had known about the news for a long time, but there were also deniers. But what cannot be denied is that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, which opened the In the war with the United States, it seemed that Pearl Harbor suffered heavy losses, but the main force of the U.S. Navy was indeed there. He shook his head, "It's hard to say, the U.S.'s industrial capabilities are so strong, and there are already warships being produced. , lost, just reinstalled. Besides, the United States started out by selling arms. You see, the United States not only sells arms, but also rents arms, and leases battleships, aircraft, etc. to the British. Otherwise, the British would be beaten by Germany. It's so miserable, I should have knelt down long ago."
"Master, what you are saying is that the United States is not afraid of that loss, since they have money anyway?" Zhang Qian frowned.
"About that. In short, the main force of the U.S. Navy is still there." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "In addition, in a battle between the Japanese Navy and the U.S. Navy in May, the difference in battle losses between the two sides was not big. This not only gave the U.S. Navy confidence, but also Japanese Navy Confidence.”
"ah?"
"Japanese naval generals, for example, Isoroku Yamamoto." Zhou Weiguo explained, "Ben studied in the United States. At the beginning, he always opposed antagonism with the United States because he knew very well that he could not defeat the U.S. Navy. If To fight, the main force of the U.S. Navy must be killed at once, so he planned the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in an attempt to attack the main force of the U.S. Navy and remove the obstacles to the Japanese navy."
"Then they fought once, and the battle losses were almost the same. The Japanese felt that the U.S. Navy could no longer pose a threat to them, so they actively prepared for war! The Allies felt that the Japanese Navy was not particularly powerful, so they were very confident.
Increase!" Liu Zhihui took over Zhou Weiguo's words.
