The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Saigon is done.MacArthur had to make a second strategic shift. He ran away overnight from the air-raid shelter on the outskirts of the city that had become ruins, and flew straight to Bangkok cautiously by plane.

On the plane, the old man with bloodshot eyes almost had a stroke because of excessive anger. He was trembling like dry weeds in the cold wind. Facing the city full of flames, he gnashed his teeth and roared: "I will definitely come back! I swear!"

Well, he has said a lot of similar things recently, so that the ears of people around him can hear calluses.As for when it will be realized?God knows, I hope I can live to that day.

He ran away, and Shouichi Terauchi's actions were not slow. The old devil, who also had a special plane to serve him, even ordered the emergency withdrawal of all troops one step earlier than the Americans, and even secretly asked that in the event of an unstoppable landing operation, then stick to it. The confronting troops in central Vietnam can move in strategically without request, depending on the urgency of the situation, and hide westward into Laos or Cambodia, just at their convenience.

Such orders without integrity, disregard for shame, and no attention to the heroic style of the Japanese imperialists are enough to make the allies such as Britain and the United States who think they understand them drop their jaws. Nima doesn't play like this!The frontal battle here is still counting on you to do a good job. If you don't say anything, you will leave the pick and leave. This is a proper behavior of selling teammates, ah!

In particular, the U.S. military has deployed a large number of troops in southern Vietnam, the Mekong Delta region, and the coastal cities around Saigon.Their mission, on the one hand, is to ensure coastal defense, so that ships coming from afar have a place to dock and unload supplies;Then the United States will not only stay in the Philippines, but can obtain a new colony with a lot of wealth!

As for whether it will anger the French allies because of this, who cares about the interests!Not to mention that the current French government is divided into two, and most of them have surrendered to Hitler's Germany. How can this group of people outside have the ability to maintain the face of the former first army power?The Gallic chicken was brilliant.Has lost color with the death of Napoleon.

The more important reason is that the interests of Vietnam are too great!

So far, it has been determined that the huge high-quality iron ore, coal mines, bauxite, etc. in northern Vietnam are worth tens of millions.Anyway, Americans do not lack this, so they are not too nervous.Rice output and the like, the United States can't eat it by itself, so don't worry about it.The key is oil in the Mekong plains and offshore.

Oil!

This is the industrial blood of the twentieth century.It is the propellant of the progress of human civilization, a rare and scarce resource, and an irreplaceable eternal power!Most importantly, a large number of facts have proved that whoever controls oil will have the opportunity to control the world!

Do not believe?In the long run, look at the Rockefeller family, they used oil to prop up a huge industrial empire.Become one of the best consortiums, and join hands with Morgan to control the United States.affect the world.

After Zhu Bin arrived, the advances in shallow sea oil, deep well oil, and petrochemical technology promoted by him single-handedly increased the value of the entire world's oil industry several times out of thin air, so that the wealth of the Rockefeller family skyrocketed and flourished day by day. .Its huge business empire has established an eternal dominance.

In particular, the rise of Zhu Bin proves the importance of oil.

This boy of oriental origin with unknown origin, with the technology he did not know where he got it, spent just nine years building a unique business empire out of thin air.The wealth is almost the same even if it is not the number one in the world. The key is his military achievements, which has driven the rapid revitalization of a backward and weak country, which is enough to explain everything.

There is no need to condemn the Rockefeller family and other powerful crocodiles. Why didn't they kill this kid in time? It's because when they figured it out, Zhu Bin was no longer someone who could strangle him to death. Today, there is no point arguing.

So far, the Pacific Resources Exploration Company, a joint venture between Zhu Bin and Rockefeller, has discovered before the collapse that two pieces of oil in the offshore of Vietnam exceeded [-] million tons!The oil reserves in the onshore basins also exceed [-] million tons.A full [-] million tons of oil!How much is this? !

Especially with the outbreak of the war, the price of crude oil, which was extremely low at only three dollars a barrel before, skyrocketed. No matter how much was mined, the supply was in short supply. The oil companies of various countries can be said to have made a fortune, and the output of related industries has quickly surpassed that of the steel industry. , Even companies like DuPont are actively involved in the petrochemical development of downstream product chains. According to the petrochemical roadmap created by Zhu Bin, it is foreseeable that the wealth that can be generated around oil will be a thousand times, ten thousand times that of today!

The United States can live without land, but it cannot live without oil!Just like the British can not eat good things, but they must not ignore the gold. They have to grab something.

In short, I am afraid that Terauchi Shouichi himself has not seriously thought about the dire consequences of this silent, willful, and vindictive order of the Japanese.Of course, the common problem of the Japanese has been like this since ancient times. They can always make some seemingly huge and grand plans, they are extremely well prepared, and they are very serious in their execution. The chaos will eventually lead to the loss of control of the whole situation!

What’s more, it is consistent with them. I make a wishful thinking plan at home, and then I don’t have any plans for the problems that arise during the implementation, and I am absolutely self-righteous. I believe that opponents, enemies, people and countries affected by them will definitely follow their ideas. The habit of reacting to it is really killing people!

After MacArthur ran to Bangkok, he was shocked to know that in less than an hour, a Japanese army force stuck in the north and stuck in the downlink of the South China Sea Fleet Marine Corps unexpectedly withdrew without any notice!A large mountainous jungle defense line was left behind, exposing the left wing of the US military naked to the fierce armed forces of the enemy!

"Damn Japanese monkeys! I knew it, I knew they were unreliable! Bastard, damn it! Faxet! Why did I just trust such a bunch of damned guys! What are they thinking!"

MacArthur was so angry that his throat broke, and the screams almost shattered the glass windows.

This is really a bit outrageous!Japanese, can you make it even more outrageous?This is a war, a war that determines the survival of your nation!There must be sacrifice and victory.In exchange for the bargaining chips for the survival of tens of millions of people, there is no way out, no room for negotiation!In such a serious situation, they still messed up!

The British, who have always been "under control" of the overall situation, don't know how to evaluate it. Anyway, when several senior generals heard the news, the first reaction in their minds was: "It's over!"

Can't you?Compared with Americans who are rich and powerful and have a lot of confidence.The United Kingdom is exhausted, its strength in Asia is stretched, and it is impossible to gather a combat-effective force.Now, the main front of Burma they are attacking is nothing more than soy sauce, and the main force is still the Japanese army.So now, are those bastards also retreating?It is also like cheating the Americans, but also cheating the UK!

They guessed right!

British Lord Alexander as Supreme Commander.In a hurry, he sent power to Major General Scott, the commander of the first division on the front line, reminding him to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese troops in front and flanks.As a result, the major general who was making soy sauce was still sleepy and stared, and replied in a disapproving tone: "We don't need to worry about that kind of thing. You know, the Japanese are actually quite docile and obedient. Their strict hierarchical rule, the The grassroots soldiers are well educated. I think it is safe to put them on the front of all battlefields.”

Lord Alexander knew it from the tone.Scott was careless and didn't care about his gentlemanly demeanor, and yelled: "Bastard! Didn't you hear what I said clearly? The damn Japanese have escaped from the battlefield! Now, the poor American cowboys are about to be killed." The Chinese stab their ass! I order you to immediately determine the movement of the Japanese army and ensure that they are on the front line!"

"Uh... good! My lord! I hope you are not frightened by nightmares!"

The doctrinal Brit is as lazy as the French.When it comes to fucking, he can catch up with Lao Maozi again, and he is used to messing around.

Major General Scott secretly guessed that the lord may have taken an expired aphrodisiac, or when he was drunk with flower wine in Bangkok.After finishing the work, I suddenly found that the person I was hugging was actually a human demon... Awow, poor guy, his old face must be very ugly!

Yelling maliciously, Major General Scott called the brigade commanders below in a drunken daze, gave a few casual instructions, and then continued to sleep in his cage.

The so-called top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. The British have long lost the courage of the empire on which the sun never sets.The determination to defend the Far East colony is not very big, fighting?What a joke!The common fault of negligence, arrogance and self-righteousness has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, but at the critical moment, it caused a big problem!

Lord Alexander's worries are absolutely right, the damn Japanese monkeys, they are really picky!

Terauchi Shouichi’s order followed closely on Yamashita’s policy of obedience and yin, and flexible execution. After the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield in Myanmar learned of the unfortunate incident encountered by the 25th Army, they were already very dissatisfied with the British. In addition to being tall and powerful, the Yingmi ghosts and animals who have no fighting spirit at all are very upset, and the artillery fire and air strikes on the opposite side are too intense. With heavy casualties, the commander of the army and the commanders of the division took a decisive action Back off people!

That is to say, it was slightly more than half an hour later than the troops in the central battlefield of Vietnam. A large number of Japanese troops strategically shifted from the front line of attack to the rear overnight. The main force of the group army was suddenly exposed in front of the Chinese army!

To make matters worse, the Chinese army standing in front of them was the original Central Army force re-enlisted after reorganization!

A large group of senior generals from the Whampoa and Luda factions, commanding hundreds of thousands of elite troops with updated weapons, shouldered the heavy responsibility of restoring the face of the KMT. After being picked up from the Lushan Villa, he felt elated, comparing Erwuzi's teaching corps with Li Bai's local army, and the Jinsui army that had made great contributions!

When did the Central Army become worse than others?They didn't feel wronged when they lost at the hands of Zhu Bin, but they couldn't justify not being able to catch up with other local forces.This tone, you have to fight!

Look at their heads, Long Yun and Chen Cheng, commanders of the war zone, and Liu Zhi, chief of staff.Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 1st Corps, Hu Zongnan, chief of staff; Du Yuming, commander of the Fifth Army.Gan Lichu, Commander of the Sixth Army, Zhou Zhirou, Commander of the Air Force, Xue Yue, Commander of the Armored Corps....

A large number of elite talents who can be regarded as the mainstay of the Central Army gathered here, and the army of one million was severely compressed to no more than 30.The selection of the best from the best is based on the number of people, and it can't even keep up with the total number of troops that Hu Zongnan commanded to encircle and suppress the Red Party.But the quality, then there is no way to compare.

After the outbreak of the Southern War, the generals of the Central Army who re-dressed for battle were gearing up and trying to show their talents. The front-line soldiers also felt humiliated.The brave ones are not at all like the motley army that won't move without paying.

Well, in general, the Central Army is not very soft-hearted when it comes to fighting for the country.Especially now, they have no way out!

The 15th Army of the Japanese Army standing on the front had just changed, and was discovered by the soldiers of the [-]st Legion who were stalking!It was quickly reported through the convenient equipment, and it didn't take long for it to be placed on the desk of the general on duty.

This is also the way they discussed this time.If we don't engage in the previous style of talking about scenes without practicality, everyone must work hard in war.There must be someone who can grasp the overall situation awake at all times.Early this morning, Hu Zongnan happened to be on duty.Although his level is mixed, but as far as he is concerned, he is considered qualified!

"What?! The Japanese army suddenly withdrew? There was no sign at all?! Directly gave up the front of the attack? Thirty kilometers deep and started to empty? Okay, all ministries immediately dispatched elite forces to track and investigate. Be careful, be careful of their tricks! "

Hu Zongnan's brows were raised like knives, and he made quick calculations in his mind.Is this a trap?

According to the usual style of the Japanese, they seldom voluntarily retreat in the middle of the battle. The grassroots officers are eager to fight and dare to fight, that is what they have learned.The reason is to let go suddenly.In the past, most of them were going to attack with gas bombs or other chemical weapons-they were used to such shameless things.And encountered more than once.

But it seems weird to free up thirty kilometers in depth at once!This is not a plain. There are jungles and mountains everywhere, and it is very difficult to march on a large scale. One channel is open, and other routes are impossible to pinch. return!

What are they planning on doing?

Hu Zongnan never imagined that the Japanese would sell their teammates at a critical moment, and he wondered if the East had fought too hard, so he came up with an idea to carry out large-scale revenge?

It's not impossible!

He immediately ordered the divisions to take precautions. At the same time, the police commanders and air defense and anti-infiltration forces in various cities on the Yunnan border also woke up from their dreams.Afterwards, Hu Zongnan called several generals and briefly explained the matter. Du Yuming said without hesitation: "There is no need to think about it! No matter what kind of tricks they plan, it is useless in the face of absolute strength! I suggest , Immediately dispatch elite forces, quickly occupy the defense line vacated by the enemy, take adequate precautions, and beat him hard!"

Hu Zongnan himself was in favor of it, and Gan Lichu, Zhang Zhen, Xue Yue and others also agreed.During this period of time, because of the "limited counterattack" strategy above, they have been too aggrieved. If there is this opportunity, they must let go!

Chen Cheng discussed with Long Yun, and finally made a decision: "Okay! Let's do it this way! Let Dai Anlan's 200th Division, Liao Yaoxiang's 22nd Division, and Sun Liren's 38th Division be dispatched immediately to break through the defense line, attack Lashio directly, and besiege Mandalay !"

On the combat map, three thick spikes swept across the dense mountains and joined forces in Mandalay.

The huge war machine was immediately mobilized overnight!Front-line troop scouts dutifully ventured across the line of fire to search as fast as they could.The night reconnaissance plane coordinated by the whole army took the risk of lowering the height, and the power of various detection equipment was fully activated, sweeping along the valleys and jungles.

Even some of the more daring army aviation helicopters stick to the treetops, let the rumbling propellers blow the trees away, and scan carefully with night vision binoculars, for fear of missing anything.

Dozens of teams ran for more than ten kilometers in two hours, almost reaching the limit of their physical strength, chasing the tail of the Japanese army dangerously and dangerously. The main force of the Japanese army, which had been attacking for more than half a month in front of them, was really retreating!

But it's not fleeing. Judging from various signs, it's an orderly retreat. No matter what the reason is, it's almost impossible to quickly catch up and wipe out in such a bad environment.

Hu Zongnan praised them greatly, and then suggested: "It is not too late, we can't wait, we should act immediately! Let the most mobile light armored troops open a deep passage first!"

The legion adopted the opinion without much consideration, and Xue Yue's armored soldiers responded accordingly. The mountain light armored tanks and infantry combat vehicles of the two regiments swarmed out. The Japanese army showed its positive Lashio! (To be continued..)
