The Travelers of the Heavens

After the Ren'an Qiang annihilated the 200 divisions, the Kyushu Army's Yunnan-Burmese Corps continued to search and attack the expeditionary force outside the country. In April and June 1942, it severely damaged and annihilated the remaining troops of the Fifth Army and all of the Sixth Army. Among them, the More than 2,000 people from the New 38th Division of the Sixth Army fled to Ramgarh, India. The 66th Army attempted to withdraw to the Republic of China via Yeren Mountain.

The headquarters of the Yunnan-Burma Corps sent two divisions to India to pursue the remnants of the National Army's New 38th Division, and the main force moved into Yeren Mountain to pursue and annihilate the 66th Army.

The series of military operations of the Yunnan-Burma Corps actually left the Japanese troops in the Yinshan area with nothing to do. They wisely did not interfere, and only later took over the Allied territory and material properties left after the battle.

The environment in the Savage Mountains is harsh, and there are poisonous insects and beasts infested. However, the Yunnan and Burma Corps had made preparations before setting off. These supplies were originally prepared for the implementation of the"blocking" plan, including some moisture-proof tents and quilts, and potions to prevent mosquito bites. etc.

Within five days after each application of the potion, under the action of the potion, the Kyushu soldiers were invulnerable to all poisons, and mosquitoes and venomous snakes shunned at the smell.

The Yunnan and Burma Corps' 200,000-strong army frantically pursued the severely injured and attrited national army. The 66th Army, and finally the 66th Army of the Chinese Army was completely annihilated at Yeren Mountain.

In July 1942, the six main divisions of the Yunnan-Burma Corps arrived on the east bank of the Nu River, opposite the important southwestern town of Tengchong.

Commander He Youkuan immediately ordered artillery positions to be deployed to bombard Tengchong.

A dense barrage of artillery shells suddenly fell into Tengchong City, causing great panic to the local soldiers and civilians.

One hour after the shelling, the main force of the Yunnan-Burma Corps began to move toward western Yunnan in an attempt to destroy the Yunnan-Burma Highway and completely close the land window for the Republic of China to receive assistance.

On the other side, the 252nd and 253rd Divisions of the Yunnan-Burma Corps, which were chasing the remnants of the New 38th Division, also successfully captured and surrounded and annihilated the remnants of the New 38th Division near Lambgar.

Subsequently, the 252nd and 253rd Divisions moved into western Yunnan to join the main force and began to perform the task of blocking the Burma Highway and shelling targets in Yunnan.

Jiang, who was far away in Guangzhou, almost vomited blood after receiving the news that the expeditionary force had been wiped out and the whereabouts of the main generals were unknown.

At this time, Country M was completely defeated in Southeast Asia. News of MacArthur's escape from the Philippines also reached Chiang Kai-shek. This dealt another blow to the morale of the Kuomintang. It was difficult for friends of Country M to end up in person. This was terrible. what to do.

Let’s talk about the deep mountains and old forests of Southeast Asia first, and then let’s look at the naval battles in the Pacific.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 8, 1941, Country M immediately accelerated the pace of rectifying its armaments and declared war on the Axis Powers.

In April of the following year, a naval battle broke out between Japan and Japan in the Coral Sea. The aircraft carrier USS Lexington of Japan sank in the naval battle. It is worth noting that not one of the Japanese aircraft carriers was sunk in this battle, only the light"Xiangfeng" The aircraft carrier was hit hard, what's going on?

I remember that the 25mm eight-barreled cannon was mentioned in the previous chapter. This kind of machine gun fires extremely fast and can fire out a barrage in an instant. It is much stronger than the Japanese's own"96 Divine Cannon", and it should be reloaded. The ammunition of the gun can be used in common with the"96 God Cannon".

Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese Navy received many such rotating guns from the Kyushu Army. They replaced some of the"96 Divine Cannons" and installed them on main warships such as aircraft carriers.

In this Coral Sea naval battle, the"Xiangfeng" light aircraft carrier was equipped with three 25mm rotating cannons. During the naval battle, they adopted an electric firing method that consumes ammunition and tests the ammunition replenishment capability.

The rate of fire of up to 8,000 rounds per minute made it impossible for the incoming M army aircraft to effectively penetrate the defenses, and some aircraft were directly smashed into pieces and scattered into the sea.

Although it consumed tens of thousands of 25mm artillery shells, according to statistics, the ship shot down more than 40 M military aircraft. The Japanese sailors on the aircraft carrier cheered as they watched the M country aircraft explode into pieces in the air and fell into the sea.

The aircraft carrier suffered heavy damage because an M military aircraft malfunctioned while penetrating the defense and lost control and crashed into the"Xiangfeng", causing a series of explosions. It was purely an accident.

The other two ships participating in this battle were the large Japanese aircraft carriers"Shōkaku" and"Zuihak". Each of the two ships was equipped with eight 25mm rotating guns, and they were only slightly damaged in this battle.

Why didn't the Japanese replace all"96 Divine Artillery" with rotating cannons? Or is it because the artillery consumes too much ammunition and requires extremely high supply capabilities during war. If you are not careful, the supply will not be able to keep up with the shooting, resulting in a firepower interruption. situation, which is very dangerous in fierce air defense operations.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, the Japanese did not replace all the"96 divine guns" on the warships.

At the summary meeting after the naval battle, the senior Japanese naval officials spoke highly of the 25mm rotary cannon, believing it to be a powerful weapon against M army aircraft. They ordered all ships to take more care and maintenance of the rotary cannon and never allow maintenance. unfavorable circumstances.

Only two days after the Battle of the Coral Sea, Country M's Pearl Harbor suffered a nuclear attack. This was undoubtedly Wang Yu's mischief again. A nuclear rocket with a yield of 160,000 tons sent Pearl Harbor to the bottom of the sea. The country's navy's retreat was completely cut off, which also seriously affected future operations.

Because Midway Island was sunk in a nuclear test several years before Country M entered the war, Country M currently has no foothold in the Pacific and can only settle in Australia.

Speaking of Australia, it is quite a legendary place. The reason is that many descendants of time-travelers like to develop their influence in this corner. We don’t know what is attractive about this place, and we dare not tell or ask.

As for the outcome of Australia, I won’t talk about it here.

So in the future, when the Japanese and Country M competed for Guadalcanal, a war similar to the Battle of Midway broke out in reality.

The Japanese garrison on Guadalcanal has a strong military force, and the materials can last for two years without sparing use and without foreign aid. Most of the fortifications on the island have been modified into permanent fortifications, with a total of dozens of heavy artillery, mountain cannons, and machine guns. Hundreds of doors.

300,000 rounds of ammunition for large-caliber artillery of 105 mm and above, no less than 700,000 rounds of ammunition for medium-caliber artillery, and no less than 2 million rounds of ammunition for machine guns. Nearly 20 million rounds of various types of firearms and bullets.

Tens of thousands of tons of food, canned medicines, clothing and other daily necessities.

The entire Guadalcanal Island is full of above-ground or underground bunkers, tunnels, and large and small supply depots. This is the true island fortress.

In order to fight against the flamethrowers of the M Army, the Japanese machine gunners also received heat-insulating suits provided by the Kyushu Army. Wearing the heat-insulating suits feels like being in an air-conditioned room. It can withstand flamethrowers for three consecutive hours. Just an hour and a half of close range spraying.

The large islands or important islands occupied by the Japanese in the Pacific are all configured like Guadalcanal. The only difference lies in the number of troops and supplies. This is determined by the size of the island.

The tragic Battle of Guadalcanal lasted from the end of August 1942 to mid-January 1944, taking nearly a year and a half.

The two Japanese regiments guarding the island were all killed. Although the M Army captured Guadalcanal, nearly 50,000 people were killed in the protracted offensive. The 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions of the M Country were almost completely wiped out, and some were injured. There were more than 110,000 navy and army soldiers of country M, and more than 1,000 aircraft were lost.

Such a huge price gave the M Army a blow. If this continues, even if we attack the Japanese mainland, the blood of the people of M will be drained.

It was mid-January in the thirty-sixth year of Xiangying of the Great Zhou Empire (the thirty-third year of the Republic of China, 1944 AD). The Imperial Palace of Anton, Old Summer Palace in Beijing

""Father, there is a battle report from the Pacific battlefield." Wang Qi came to his father holding a telegram.

"oh? Bring it to me." Wang Yu, who closed his eyes and rested, stretched out his hand.

""Father, please read" Wang Qi handed over the telegram

"Um.. Okay, great. The M people suffered a bloody blow in the Pacific. They lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers on a small Guadalcanal. When they reach the Japanese mainland, I'm afraid there won't be anything left. This Pacific The war is destined to be a lose-lose situation for both the Japanese and the M people." Wang Yu said after reading it.

"Hey, father, I heard that Song Genling almost collapsed." Wang Qi smiled and said

"Her faith is gradually crumbling, hiss.. If it weren't for her mediocre looks, my father would have wanted to order her to serve as his bedtime attendant and have a taste of her, the so-called First Lady of the Republic of China. How do you think her beauty managed to seduce someone like Jiang?" Wang Yu actually said in front of his son Such shameless words

"Hahaha"Wang Qi smiled and said nothing else. He dare not and cannot openly comment on his father's private life. This is a disobedient crime.

"Oh, Father, the war in Europe is not very optimistic. I heard from Director Qi that the Goose people are preparing for a major counterattack. The German army was surrounded by the Goose people in Cherkasy; there are also M troops stationed in Britain. They are ready to make a move, it is speculated that they are going to launch a battle to land in Gaul," Wang Qi said again

"The war on the European continent is the same as that in the Pacific. Whether it is the M people, the German people, or the Goose people, they are all losers," Wang Yu said

""What the father said is absolutely true, so should we start plowing the land in advance?" Wang Qi asked

""Don't worry, let's talk about it in the second half of the year." Wang Yu waved his hand.
