Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2243 Traitors can be punished by everyone

Hader's autumn offensive did not achieve the desired results. The current German army is no longer the German army at its peak half a year ago. At the end of the battle, it is impossible to penetrate Lu Jin, but the Russians are getting stronger and stronger.

After the start of the Moscow campaign, Russia could receive an average of nearly 10 reinforcements per month, but the German army could not be replenished in time. The huge gap in war potential became more and more obvious from this time on.

At the same time as the Battle of Moscow was launched, the German army took the initiative to launch the Battle of Rostov in an attempt to open the passage to the Caucasus.

Since the end of the Battle of Osad, Rostov has become the main channel for Russia to receive aid. Most of the aid materials from southern Africa are transported to the inland areas of Russia through Rostov, and Rostov has become a key point in determining the direction of the war. .

The Battle of Rostov was led by the German Army Group South, but at this time the main force of the Army Group South was fighting in Moscow, which had a serious impact on the Battle of Rostov.

Before the battle began, the German and Russian armies were equal in strength.

The Russian side has twice as many artillery and 50.00% more aviation than the Germans.

The number of tanks on the German side is double that of Russia.

Although the number of Russian tanks is small, they are equipped with a large number of anti-tank guns supported by southern Africa.

The anti-tank guns supported by southern Africa are as powerful as the German Pak38. Although it is a bit weak against the "Leopard" type, it is very easy to hit the No. [-].

For all current models of the No. 30 tank, the frontal armor is only a pitiful 43mm, and the frontal armor will not be increased to 50mm until the models produced after [-].

With the help of anti-tank artillery, the attacking German troops suffered heavy losses, with losses of more than 150 German tanks on the first day of the campaign.

On the fifth day after the start of the battle, the Russian Air Force gradually gained the air supremacy on the battlefield after fierce competition, and could provide more air assistance to the frontline troops.

By November 11, Russian forces under the command of Timoshenko had begun to counterattack the Germans.

Not to be outdone, Rundstedt ordered the armored forces to carry out partial counterattacks while organizing the defense, and did not give up attacking Rostov.

The battle situation became fierce at this time, and the Germans and Russians fought fiercely around the Don River.

After a month of fierce fighting, the German attack was repelled, and the Russians finally won their first real victory since the outbreak of the Russo-German War.

The Battle of Odessa is not counted. Although Russia claimed to have won the Battle of Odessa because the Axis Powers lost more than Russia, judging from the results of the battle, Russia, which lost the entire Ukraine, was clearly the loser.

The Battle of Rostov was the real first.

The German army lost about 2 people in the Battle of Rostov, nearly 400 tanks were destroyed or captured, and 470 artillery pieces were lost. After the battle, the German army retreated 60 kilometers.

Compared with all previous battles, the results of the Rostov battle were not brilliant.

However, this real victory is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Russia. For the Russian army that is struggling in Leningrad and Moscow, the Battle of Rostov broke the myth that the German army is invincible.

The defeat of the German army on the Garibaldi peninsula had nothing to do with Russia.

Moreover, the scale of the battle in the Blue Valley was too small. Neither Southern Africa nor Germany made much publicity after the war. The Russians didn't even know that the battle between the Southern African army and the German army had broken out in the Garibaldi Peninsula.

After the Battle of Rostov, Beard was greatly encouraged and ordered a counterattack against the Germans on November 11.

However, this did not attract the attention of the German army.

Considering all aspects of the situation, the German command believes that the Russians are not capable of counterattacking at all.

The determination of the Russians exceeded the expectations of the Germans.

On December 12, the 5th Army of the Kalinin Front first launched a counterattack. The German armored group, which was maintaining an attacking posture, was caught off guard. The flank was hit hard and was forced to retreat towards Klin.

The result made Beard very satisfied, but it was not perfect.

When the time came to December 12th, another thing happened that made the bearded man more happy. On this day, the Japanese Combined Fleet launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the home port of the US Pacific Fleet.

This is actually not surprising. It is not a secret that Japan wants to sneak attack on the Americans. Not to mention everyone knows it, at least Russia, southern Africa, and even the top leaders of the United States know it.

But when the battle report came, it was still very surprising.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Japanese really went to attack the Americans, what do they think?" Little Si was puzzled, in his opinion, this was completely suicide.

"We have reminded the Americans many times, but it seems that the Americans have not taken any precautions—" Martin had a complicated expression, looking at the battle report in his hand, he felt a little distressed.

It was already December 12th, and three days had passed since the attack on Pearl Harbor.

From a tactical point of view, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a successful tactical assault.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, with four of the eight battleships sunk, one stranded, and the remaining three severely damaged.

At the same time, six US cruisers and three destroyers were damaged, 188 aircraft were destroyed, and 2403 officers and soldiers died. The explosion and sinking of the USS Arizona battleship alone caused thousands of deaths.

The warning in southern Africa is still useful.

When the battle broke out, the four aircraft carriers of the US Pacific Fleet were not at Pearl Harbor, and they were "lucky" to escape.

At the same time, the 450 million tons of heavy oil stored by the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor was unscathed. Even if an aerial bomb fell on the oil tank of the Pacific Fleet, the entire Pearl Harbor would be completely destroyed.

What made Martin feel distressed were the four sunk battleships——

Really Nima prodigal son.

"President Roosevelt needs a suitable reason to persuade the Americans to join the war." Rock is not surprised at all, Americans are also traditional in this regard.

It is said that on the day of 911/[-], all the Jews working in the World Trade Center took leave of absence and did not go to work. This is simply a coincidence.

The Maine incident that led to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War is also full of doubts.

Reminiscent of every economic crisis starting from the United States, this shit is simply a cancer.

"Gentlemen, the Japanese army launched an attack on Malaya. The Little Maginot Line has been breached. The Indian army is being defeated. Lieutenant General Parcival is asking for help from the Indian Ocean theater." Sidney Milner waved a telegram with a smile on his face. Rushed into Rock's office.

Finally, some clever British invited the southern African army to enter the Commonwealth of Nations to participate in the war.

This is actually not smart, but a forced and helpless choice.

Either it will be a complete failure.

Either hold Malaya with the help of southern African troops.

It wasn't too difficult a choice for Parcival.

"Great, I want to thank Fengfu Yamashita—" Martin was very happy, he was finally free to deal with the Japanese.

Then Martin saw that everyone in the office was looking at him with strange eyes.

"What do you mean by this expression? Did I say something wrong?" Martin began to realize that something was wrong.

"It's not wrong, but don't worry, be patient." Rock has been waiting for several years, and he doesn't care about waiting a few more days.

The Japanese army just broke through the Pony Maginot Line, which is where it is.

When the Japanese army reaches the Lion City, it will not be too late for the southern African army to take action, and then the benefits can be maximized.

So the British are justified in worrying. If they ask the southern African troops to join the war, they will completely lose their dominance. Is Malaya controlled by the Japanese or the southern Africans? For the British Said that there is no essential difference.

Parcival also had no choice, the British and Indian troops under him really couldn't withstand Fufumi Yamashita's crazy attack.

In fact, Parcival's strength is good. Although the Japanese army's fighting will is tenacious, its strength is far behind that of the Germans. The Type 97 medium tank is at best an armored vehicle, and the "Matilda" can completely fight against it.

The key is that the Indians are too useless, have no will to fight, let alone honor, and surrender is commonplace for them.

Indians are amazing at war, they always hope to shoot a few shots away from the battlefield, and then they can win.

If the enemy is not scared away, but instead rushes up with bayonets, the Indians will surrender immediately, let alone "Matilda", even if the "Tiger" tanks are given to the Indians, the Indians will not be able to defeat the Japanese Beans chariot.

So now understand why India is the most powerful country in the future.

Because Indians are the best at hiding behind the screen and talking loudly, all of them are kings of mouth.

Of course, the commanders of the British and Indian troops did not perform very well.

British Malaya is a tropical rain forest with complex terrain, which is not conducive to the actions of armored troops.

Therefore, the British commanders of the British and Indian troops firmly believed that the Japanese tanks could not pass through the rainy area and attack the British and Indian troops from the flank.

It is true that Japanese armored units cannot pass through the rainforest, but this is what Japanese light infantry are best at.

Without the help of armored forces, the Japanese light infantry is completely comparable to the German infantry, and even performs better than the Germans on the battlefield.

Therefore, Japanese infantry will always appear from places unexpected by British commanders, and quickly completely defeat the positions of British and Indian troops.

At the same time that the United Fleet attacked Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army entrenched in French Indochina launched an attack on British Malaya.

The Japanese army advanced very fast. They broke through the Little Maginot Line on the day the battle broke out, and then advanced 120 kilometers in five days.

During these five days, Parcival requested support from London and the Indian Ocean theater in southern Africa on the one hand, and on the other hand organized troops to defend on the spot.

The performance of the British and Indian troops was disappointing. Parcival tried to organize defense twice, but was easily defeated by the Japanese each time. The British and Indian troops were so embarrassed that they could not even destroy their heavy weapons and equipment when they retreated. Tilda", were left intact to the Japanese by the Anglo-Indian troops.

Fortunately, Angie didn't give it to Percival when he wanted to get the "Leopard" tank.

Otherwise, the "Leopard" type will also become a spoil of war for the Japanese army.

Although Angie rejected Parcival's request for assistance, the southern African army has actually joined the war.

On December 12, the Japanese army landed from Kota Bharu in the north of British Malaya and attacked the eastern coast of Malaya. While cutting off the retreat of the British front-line defense forces, they launched an attack on the hinterland of British Malaya.

On the same day, 17 Japanese fighter planes took off from the field airfield in Saigon and flew towards the Lion City.

Changi Naval Base is right next to the Lion City.

Not long after the Japanese plane took off, it was discovered by the radar deployed in the Natuna Islands. The 131st Air Battalion stationed at Changi Naval Base sent 12 "Cheetahs" to fight. After some not-so-intense air battles, 17 All Japanese fighter planes were destroyed.

Only one "Cheetah" of the 131st Aviation Brigade was injured and returned to the base successfully.

When the wounded "Cheetah" landed, warm applause and cheers erupted around the runway. In addition to the ground crew and British pilots, there were also British pilots who paid tribute to the warriors.

The British Air Force has also deployed in Malaya, but the British Air Force is a bit useless. Not to mention the outdated aircraft models, the supply of spare parts is seriously insufficient, the pilots and ground crews lack training, and the command system is also problematic.

The key is the British pilots in Malaya, which are composed of two parts: British pilots and Australian pilots.

Since the First World War, there have been more and more conflicts between the British mainland and Australia, especially on the pensions of veterans. Up to now, the British government has not paid the promised pensions in full.

Therefore, after the outbreak of World War II, Australia did not work hard, and its support was much smaller than that of World War I.

Even so, in North Africa and Malaya, the Australian army is still the main force.

Within a week of the outbreak of the Malay War, the British Air Force suffered heavy losses and lost its ability to fight. Pilots who did not want to continue fighting had gone to Australia, and pilots who hoped to continue fighting came to Changi Naval Base to continue fighting the Japanese invasion.

At the same time that the Southern African Air Force won its first victory against the Japanese Air Force, a team of British military police came to the British Air Force's air base in Lion City and knocked on the door of Colonel Bai Cuihannan, the captain of the No. 60 Second Squadron of the Royal Air Force.

"What's the matter?" After the war broke out, Colonel Bai Cuihannan's position had been adjusted to be the liaison officer between the Air Force and the British and Indian Army.

"Excuse me, are you Colonel Bai Cuihannan?" The major leading the team looked serious.

"Yes, I'm—may I ask what's the matter?" Bai Cuihannan forced himself to be calm, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

"Please come with me, Colonel. We suspect that you have betrayed the British Empire and provided information to the Japanese army. You are now under arrest." The major gritted his teeth. Everyone hated traitors.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't, you're slandering—" Bai Cuihannan yelled.

The major did not give Baicui Hannan a chance to defend himself. Two military policemen rushed over and knocked Baicui Hannan to the ground with his hands behind his back. Hannan's neck.

Bai Cuihannan immediately blushed, unable to speak a word.
