Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2600 Getting Back to Confidence
The Americans have collected this information, but they obviously don't have the habit of gaining wisdom from a fall, or they think they have learned experience from the Xuebing Army, thinking that they can restrain the Japanese army's tactics like the Chinese.Anyway, when the attention of the Chinese government and the military began to focus on the East China Sea and the North Pacific (at least the Americans thought so), in the South Pacific, the Americans, led by MacArthur and Kim, began to deploy a strong Japanese army in Southeast Asia. counterattack.

The U.S. military in Australia has become more active than ever, and the reconnaissance planes of the U.S. Pacific Fleet began to frequently appear in the skies over New Guinea and even Malaysian waters. Naturally, it is impossible for the Japanese not to feel it.After the establishment of the Southern Front Army, Koizumi was able to suppress Masaharu Honma to death because he held the trump card of logistics supplies.With the support of Masaharu Honma, Koizumi was able to use absolute authority to build the Southern Front Army according to his own ideas, and at least on the surface, the Southern Front Army seemed to have returned to what it looked like in Japan's most powerful period.After the Ryukyu Islands were captured by the Xuebing Army, Koizumi once said that this may not be a bad thing, because it would be convenient for him to carry out modernization reforms on the army-"Why did we win first and then lose in the China battlefield, and even now we are completely at a loss?" The situation that the Chinese suppressed is ultimately due to our failure to grasp the direction of military development. Just imagine, if the empire had used aircraft carriers as the main battleships of the navy early on, if we had super fighters like Mount Fuji early, then we might have completely occupied destroyed Hainan Island, and blew up Chongqing and Guangzhou into ruins..."

Just as Roosevelt was puzzled by China's rise, Koizumi also didn't understand it very well.China, no, it should be said that the speed of the rise of the army of soldiers is too fast, and it seems that there are no rules to follow.So if we really want to find out the reason now, Koizumi can only put the guns behind him, using the excuse of failing to suppress the student army in the early stage of the empire, and completely shifting the responsibility to history.

The Chinese National Defense Army and the Xuebing Army are surrounded on three sides by the Great Wall in the west and BJ in the south, firmly blocking the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army in the area outside the pass north of BJ. The terrible situation in the Chinese battlefield and the Xuebing The huge threat that the Japanese army might launch an attack from the Ryukyu Islands to the Japanese mainland at any time made Koizumi feel that it was time for him to do something. It was decided to take a knife from the Americans in order to regain the military prestige of Great Japan.

"We need victory so much. The confidence we lost in the Chinese can be regained from the Americans. It is true that the weapons and equipment of the Americans are very advanced, but they are courageous from the commander of the army to the ordinary privates. Little people who are afraid of death, so it can be expected that as long as we can cause huge casualties to the Americans, the Americans will be defeated, and they will not even dare to face the imperial army alone..." Very strange phenomenon, the Japanese army From decision makers like Toshiichiro Koizumi, down to ordinary soldiers, now whenever they hear that they are going to fight the Chinese, especially the cadet army, the morale of the battle is often dropped by half before the battle has started.However, if the opponent is an American, as Toshiichiro Koizumi said, everyone is full of confidence that they will win, as if the U.S. military is just a piece of paper.

Koizumi talked eloquently. According to him, it seems that the U.S. military can be easily defeated by stretching out and kicking.And the Japanese officers below listened, and most of them took it for granted.

"But what about the Chinese people? Sumatra and the Chinese army to the north of the He-Song defense line are fiercely fighting each other. Your Excellency, we need to strengthen our defenses in both places," Yaqing Honma said suddenly.

In Sumatra, Bai Liusu, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, sits in person.To the north of the Song Dynasty defense line, Sun Liren's Expeditionary Third Army has always been aggressive.During this period of time, there have been no less than a hundred battles between the Japanese army and the Bai Liusu and Sun Liren tribes, all of which were defeated without exception.The Chinese Expeditionary Army has actually become a nightmare for the Southern Front Army.

Koizumi's face immediately darkened. For the Southern Front Army and even Japan as a whole, the importance of Sumatra is self-evident. However, he can say that he has used all his breastfeeding strength, but he just can't beat that stinky white tassel. What can a woman do?Koizumi is destined not to be able to answer the question of Masaharu Honma, so after pondering for a while, he said in a clanging voice: "Sooner or later we will defeat the Chinese, but not now. The first thing we need to do now is to defeat the Americans. Only by defeating the Only when the Americans were defeated and the southern line of defense was completely stabilized, we had plenty of time to deal with the Chinese. I heard that the Germans and the Chinese were fighting happily in the Osa region of Soviet Russia. I think that after this battle is over, Maybe there will be an opportunity to defeat the Chinese."

The alliance between countries has always been about the supremacy of interests.Therefore, just as many countries in the Allied Powers are at odds with each other, Japan and Germany in the Axis Powers have never reached the level of heart-to-heart communication.Of course, this will never prevent the Japanese from finding consolation from the Germans and stealing the fruits of the Germans' victory with "the victory of our Axis powers".As the initiator of the German-Japanese joint war policy to destroy China, Koizumi may be the one who cares most about Germany as an ally among the top Japanese military and political leaders.It’s just that the performance of the Germans was unsatisfactory, and the execution of the Japanese army was too poor, so no matter how you look at it now, the "Japanese-German joint operations to destroy China" advocated by Koizumi at the beginning is like a farce, and it is impossible to have real implementation. that day.Regarding this, Koizumi should be quite annoyed in his heart, thinking that Neiji Okamura and Yoshijiro Umezu have failed his high expectations and failed to live up to their historical reputation.Of course, because this has actually become the only way and hope for Japan to defeat China, in order to give confidence to his subordinates and also to himself, he still can only cling to this point.

"Of course, Honma-kun's worries are not unreasonable, so I decided to expand the construction of the Hesong defense minefield."

What Koizumi Toshiichiro couldn't figure out was why the Third Chinese Expeditionary Army formed by the former Central Army of China, which had the worst combat effectiveness, changed its name and seemed to be a different person, suddenly becoming so vigorous , even more ferocious than Xue Bingjun?
The ferocity of the Third Expeditionary Army originated from Sun Liren's famous order, that is, all those who have been to China, whether they are generals or soldiers, no matter whether they are seriously or slightly injured, they will be directly enforced on the battlefield.Today, when the cadet army has generally abandoned the policy of battlefield discipline, it is no wonder that the Third Expeditionary Army is notorious for this.
