Did you speak today?

"I thought we'd be back in the U.S. soon."

Qin Wei didn't stay with Doolittle for too long, only said a few words, and left after getting a letter from Doolittle.But after he left, Doolittle was still in a daze: he actually wanted to stay in China to fight?

"You should be honored." Chennault put his arm around Doolittle's shoulders without airs, "This is an invitation from a first-rank general who came to extend an invitation to you in person. According to his military rank, he is at least equivalent to our four-star general. !"

"So so." Doolittle said with a smile: "Originally, after we completed the bombing mission, we had to directly follow the orders of the Air Task Force in China. Since you, the commander, have already agreed, of course I can only obey the orders... ...and I am sure that our comrades will be very happy to continue fighting the Japanese."

"These words sound a bit insincere to me." Chennault shook his head and patted Doolittle on the shoulder again, "Man, if it wasn't for this damn war, I should be saluting you now. And if the Chinese had If I found you and invited you to China as an Air Force advisor, then you will at least be an official major general now. But the problem now is that you are not as lucky as me!"

"It seems so." Doolittle laughed.After a few days, he already knew Chennault better.The former U.S. captain who was forced to retire at the time was more practical, and he also possessed many qualities that an officer who was promoted quickly should possess, such as straightforwardness, or the ability to keep his mouth shut.Now, since this guy is directly speaking, there is no need for him to hide it.Indeed, he was a little bit resistant to helping the Chinese fight.According to the procedure, they should return to Washington in a few days, and receive the president's personal commendation and medals in Congress, and even if the war requires him, he is more willing to go to the Philippines to serve the Americans under the leadership of an American general. fight for interests.Rather than succumbing to the command of the Chinese as it is now.

"Dude. When our military observation mission was in China, I used to chat with Colonel Eisenhower who was the head of the mission... Well, I think you should know him. That guy is better than me. I was a 46-year-old Lieutenant, he's already a lieutenant colonel." Chennault grinned. "But the most interesting thing is that this not very successful colonel actually served as an assistant to our most famous General Douglas MacArthur, and has been with General MacArthur for many years."

"What does this have to do with us?" asked Doolittle.

"MacArthur is very proud, or arrogant." Chennault said. "This is what Eisenhower revealed in his words when we were talking about whether the Chinese army would send troops to the Philippines to help us. And the fact is just as Eisenhower said, MacArthur rejected the Chinese army more than once. *A request for the team to enter the Philippines to help."

"I heard that the Japanese army only has 20 troops. Then, with 12 troops, I believe it should not be difficult for General MacArthur to defend the coastal fortresses of the Philippines." Doolittle thought for a while, and MacArthur argued.

"Although I have served China, I am still an American. You don't have to consider my position." Chennault just smiled when he heard this. "That's right, we all know very well that MacArthur refused the Chinese to enter the Philippines. Apart from the fact that he was very confident that he could keep the Japanese at sea with the strength of his troops, he was worried that the Chinese would play tricks. Arrive The Philippines will never leave again. After all, it is very close to China, and the Chinese Air Force’s several combat experiences have confirmed their strong capabilities. Once they find a base in the Philippines, they will have A steady stream of Chinese soldiers crossing the ocean. On Philippine soil! This is unacceptable to the United States."

"That's right." Doolittle shrugged, "But what does this have to do with us?" [

"Of course it has something to do with it." Chennault let out a sigh of relief: "Because of these, we can only stay in China and fight for the Chinese."

"As long as it's fighting the Japanese, it doesn't matter who you fight for," Doolittle said.

"I'm glad you think so. But the Japanese are not that easy to deal with, and..." Chennault hesitated, and a strange smile flashed across his face, "According to the words of the general Qin who just left: we We are not afraid of god-like opponents, we are only afraid of pig-like teammates. So, you have to be careful."

"...Are you reminding me?" Doolittle was stunned.

"Yes." Chennault smiled bitterly, "Although I don't really want to say it, but for an American hero, I still feel the need to tell you: In this upcoming battle, the opponents we face, and our The partners who fight together will be abnormal!"

"Can you...can you speak in more detail or clearly?" Doolittle 'licked' his 'lips', but he still didn't quite understand Chennault's words.

"No." Chennault shook his head directly.

"But you've already said that, why..."

"According to the Chinese, there are some things that you can only understand by yourself, but you cannot express it in words...because it is too complicated."

"..."

Reconnaissance aircraft, fighter jets, bombers; destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers; cars, tanks, armored vehicles...

The United States was like the trumpeter, sounding the clarion call for the all-out battle of World War II with the bombing of Tokyo.

The angry Japanese launched an attack on Southeast Asia without waiting for the winter to come completely.They also did not split into three groups as soon as they made a move, and launched attacks on the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia at the same time, as in the original imprint.This time, they gathered all their troops and slapped the Philippines first.

Originally, Masaharu Honma, known as the "Poet General" in Japan, was the main attacker on the Philippine battlefield. He defeated MacArthur, who also performed poorly, in a clumsy way, but the Japanese army had to spend three more months, and was eventually defeated by the Japanese army. McAr deliberately retaliated and was shot after the defeat.But this time, the Japanese used Seishiro Sakagaki!

At the beginning of the battle, the Japanese army and navy air force launched a bombardment on the U.S. military airport and the Cavite (Luzon) naval base, as well as Legazpi, Lingayen Bay, and Ra'mon Bay at the southern tip of Luzon Island. Indiscriminate bombing, and at the same time launched a landing operation.In the face of the Japanese attack, the US-Philippine army remained calm under the command of MacArthur.Not only did they desperately stick to the beach position, but the air force also fought desperately with the invading Japanese fighter planes.

The battle was extremely brutal.Especially in air combat, because of the "delay" of the Japanese, the United States seized the time to send more aviation units to the Philippines, so that MacArthur, which originally had only more than 140 backward aircraft, had nearly 300 excellent fighters.Especially the "Hellcat", which claims to be specialized in restraining Japanese Type Zero carrier-based aircraft.There are more than 80 of them.The Japanese thought that the bombing of the Grumman company would stop the production of this fighter jet that they had suffered so much. This is simply a dream.Because there is no Gru'door' company.Without those materials in the company, there are workers!As long as these workers are still there, the aircraft can still be manufactured.What's more, it is impossible for the Japanese to bomb the entire Gru'men with surprise bombing, and there will always be some technicians who survived.Furthermore, so what if a new "Hellcat" cannot be produced for a while?Not long after the start of World War II, Roosevelt ordered the manufacture of [-] aircraft to protect the airspace of the Western Hemisphere. The record of the "Hellcat" is enough to make it the focus of the US government, and the production is not limited to those for China.There is still a lot of stock in the US.Enough to supply the needs of the Philippines.Moreover, in addition to the "Hellcat", the "Wildcat" fighter is also an excellent fighter that can "fight" with the "Zero", and this one has more stocks in the United States.This is why MacArthur even rejected the Chinese Air Force.He has no shortage!

And precisely because both sides were prepared, each suffered heavy losses on the first day of the battle.The Japanese army lost more than 70 fighters of various types.There are more than 50 U.S. military aircraft.

But Seishiro Sakagaki did not stop attacking.As if he had never seen the plane falling like dumplings from the sky at all, under his order, the Japanese army launched an attack on the land desperately.After two days like this, the "raw melon egg" soldiers in the United States who had not experienced the war could not hold back and retreated to the second line of defense.By this time, the Japanese casualties had exceeded 1.

But that's all.

The Japanese submarine force transported a number of small groups of Japanese troops to sneak into Luzon Island.Attacked the US military airport in Manila, wreaked havoc, and cooperated with the surprise attack of the Japanese aviation force, the US-Philippines Air Force suffered heavy losses. In this battle alone, more than half of the heavy bombers and 23 fighters were lost.At this time, Japanese bombers also threw a large amount of napalm towards the US positions, allowing the Japanese to easily open the gap in the US-Philippines defense line and break into Luzon Island.Soon, MacArthur and his troops were surrounded.Prior to this, MacArthur originally wanted to lead the U.S. and Philippine troops to withdraw into the Bataan Peninsula, but was cut off by Seishiro Sakagaki and could not retreat.

The fall of the Philippines is imminent.

But at this time, few people care about the issues of the Philippines. Even the Americans themselves have to devote most of their energy to Europe.

The Germans launched the "Barbarossa" program.

And perhaps because it was winter in Northern Europe at this time, the severe cold struck, and the Soviets relaxed their vigilance against the Germans, so their performance was worse than when they were in Siberia.

While almost 320 million German ground troops and hundreds of thousands of Romanian, Hungarian, Slovakian, and Italian troops attacked the Soviet Union from the western front, none of the Soviet troops were put on alert.As a result, on the first day, the German army destroyed 1489 Red Army fighters and lost 35 of them; two days later, their battle results reached 3922!But these are just the beginning.As time went by, the German army advanced almost in a crushing manner.According to some accounts, the German army displayed a "brilliant" art of war.In this war, which may be the largest in history, they used encirclement tactics to annihilate hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army at every turn, or "forced" them to surrender.The Battle of Kiev was particularly bloody, as Germany's Army Group South captured it five months after launching the offensive, taking more than 5 Red Army soldiers prisoner.

And this is still just the beginning.
