Glorious Mission 1937

Chen Feng ignored the Portuguese government's shouting from afar. An infantry battalion and two warships stationed on Hong Kong Island were ready to go. As soon as the time came, they would go directly to O Island and completely destroy the Portuguese institutions on O Island.

The Portuguese government saw that China was so tough, and shut their mouths wisely. They really don’t have much energy to fight against China now. Besides, the island of Australia is far from the mainland of Portugal, and at the same time it is far away from Brazil. The Portuguese government is beyond the reach of the island of Australia. Now that the Chinese government wants to take back the island of Australia, the Portuguese government can only be forced to accept it.

On May 1941, 5, the Portuguese government withdrew its people from the island, and then the Chinese government sent troops to the island.

The time soon entered late May. According to the decision of the Allied Supreme Command, it was planned to carry out landing operations in Normandy, France, at the end of May and early June, opening up the third battlefield in Europe.

But before that, a special squad composed of Jews went to Europe with Chen Feng's order, and they were going to meet someone——Rommel.

China's Anti-Japanese War has been in its seventh year, and the European Anti-Fascist War has also entered its fifth year. Time is enough and it's time to end.

But Chen Feng knows that Germany has not come to an end, the Third Reich still has the strength to fight, at least the German army is still the most powerful army in Europe, whether it is the Soviet Red Army or the US and British troops, they still cannot fight the German army alone. Therefore, Chen Feng hoped to use the power of one person to end the European War ahead of schedule, and this person was the German Field Marshal Rommel.

Everyone is familiar with Rommel.The reputation of the Desert Fox is louder than any general in the German army.He was a brilliant general in the Second World War who was able to achieve greatness during his lifetime and continued to be honored after his death, especially a military general who was recognized by both opposing sides.

Those who supported Rommel called him the God of War of the Nazis. His superb military qualities and excellent tactical skills were respected and worshiped by many military enthusiasts, even famous military strategists.Opponents called it a "tactical giant but a strategic dwarf" based on their strategic mistakes, and because Rommel was once Hitler's favorite general and the most powerful tool of Nazi aggression, he was called "the arsonist of World War II." .

Many people worship it.There are also many people who dismiss it.This is not surprising.Because Rommel himself was such a contradictory person.

Manstein, Rommel and Guderian are known as the three famous generals of Nazi Germany during the Second World War.From a political and peaceful point of view, they are absolutely accomplices of fascism who have committed unforgivable war crimes against other countries, and they are Hitler's killers who have harmed the world.

And from a military point of view.Their extraordinary military qualities.Excellent military command art.It had a great influence on the military history of the world, and it is indeed worthy of study by future generations.Compared with those Nazi German politicians and SS leaders who caused massacres, they are still good generals of the regular Wehrmacht, although they planned and directed Hitler's war.But he opposed the Nazi policy of massacre and extermination, let alone participated in the massacre.Perhaps it is precisely because of this, coupled with their amazing military accomplishments, that they have won the respect of enemy countries and the objective evaluation of historians and military scientists.

The first half of Rommel's life was very ordinary, even a little unknown. It was not until the age of 48 that Rommel was promoted to major general of the army and was in charge of the command of the Führer's wartime headquarters established by Germany for the invasion of Poland.This is not the youngest in the German army, but the speed of Rommel's promotion since then has created a miracle for the German army.

At the age of 49, Rommel participated in the invasion of France as the commander of the 7th Armored Division. In the second year, he was promoted to lieutenant general and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the German African Army. He went to Libya to assist Italy in countering the British army.

After arriving on the North African battlefield, Rommel ushered in the pinnacle of his military career. In March, Rommel commanded the North African Army to capture the port of Brega. Captured Ajdabiya and Mekili in April; defeated the British Army's "Short Action" plan in May; severely damaged the British Army's "Tomahawk Operation" in June; that is, this month, was promoted to Lieutenant General In less than four months, Leng Mo was promoted to general of the army and appointed as the commander of the German "African Armored Army".

In 1942, Rommel was 51 years old.In January of this year, he launched a counterattack against the British army in Ajdabbia and won a complete victory.At the same time, regardless of Mussolini's order, he fought back, regained Benghazi, and was promoted to the standard general of the army based on his military exploits. In May, Rommel's troops launched an attack on the Kazara line of defense in the west of Tobruk and captured Tobruk. In June, Rommel was promoted to Field Marshal by Hitler, just five months after being promoted to General of the Army standard.

Now 53-year-old Rommel was appointed by Hitler as the commander-in-chief of Army Group B on the Western Front, and was mainly responsible for preventing the Allied forces from landing on the Western Front.

People who don't know Rommel think he is an unscrupulous Nazi officer, but Chen Feng knows that Rommel is not a foolish and loyal person. In the early days of the Third Reich, Rommel passionately praised Hitler's Miraculous work", yet from 1943 Rommel became one of the few senior Wehrmacht officers who dared to speak out to the Führer about the deteriorating situation, and after the surrender of Italy Rommel became Hitler's most dangerous opponent.

Chen Feng knew that Rommel was a person who put the interests of the country above everything else, and Hitler, he wanted to let the German army fight to the last man, and he wanted to put the individual above the country.To bring the whole of Germany to ruin.Now Rommel and others are planning an action against Hitler, the purpose is to kill Hitler, and let go of the entire Western Front, to completely end this damn war.

However, Chen Feng also knew that the final result of this operation was a failure. In the end, many senior German generals and officers were implicated, including Rommel, and Rommel was finally ordered to die.

What Chen Feng had to do was to contact Rommel before the operation started, and cooperate with him to ensure that the assassination operation would be a one-hit kill.Even if Hitler cannot be successfully assassinated, Rommel's life must be kept.This can greatly divide the German army and speed up the process of the war.But these all have a premise, that is, Rommel is willing to cooperate with them.

To be honest, Chen Feng didn't have much confidence in being able to persuade Rommel. After all, which German field marshal opposed Hitler and wanted Hitler to step down, not to make Germany a defeated country.

But Old William gave Chen Feng a surprise. He told Chen Feng that his son had been comrades-in-arms with Rommel and served as an infantry battalion commander under Rommel.The two are very good both in official and personal relationships.He was sure that Chen Feng's people would contact Rommel, and he also believed that Rommel would agree to cooperate with the Allied forces.With old William's guarantee, Chen Feng directly sent a team of Jewish special forces to Europe.

就在陈锋与隆美尔进行接触的时候，日本方面关于本土决战的准备也进入了尾声。昭和19年（1944年）5月5日。大本营于对国内部队的统帅组织进行了变更：将国内地面部队的骨干——东部军、中部军、西部军及国内防卫航空部队的第10飞行师团（东京）、第18飞行团（大阪）、第19飞行团（北九州）重新编入防卫总司令官隶属之下。有关防卫事项由第1航空军司令官指挥。

On the same day, combined with the above changes, the base camp issued an order.The main tasks of the various units under the Defense Command are clarified: "First, it is clearly stipulated that the Defense Commander should cooperate with the Navy to quickly strengthen combat readiness and take on the task of defending the imperial land. Secondly, the area that the Defense Commander is in charge of defending and the 5th Front Army The boundary of the combat area is the Tsugaru Strait, the Tsugaru Strait and the Tsugaru Fortress in Aomori Prefecture, which belong to the 5th Front Army. The commander-in-chief of the defense is in charge of the defense area and the Taiwan Army's combat area is at 122 degrees 30 minutes east longitude."

On May 5, the Defense General Headquarters reported the "Defense Operations Outline" that had been formulated to the base camp, requesting that the final combat arrangements be made according to this outline.According to the "Outline of Defense Operations", the Japanese army clarified that smashing the enemy's air strikes is the primary task of defense, focusing on aviation, and quickly completing preparations for air defense operations; secondly, strengthening the combat readiness of remote sea islands to prevent enemy surprise attacks and attacks , and at the same time prepare the attack posture in important areas of Japan as soon as possible; when the enemy invades, seize the opportunity to concentrate the land and air forces, especially the air force combat power as much as possible, and defeat them.
