"Will our actions make the Japanese change their minds and concentrate on us?" Tang Yaoshi, who was born as a master, still likes to hide behind the scenes, waiting for the opponent to come to a dog-eat-dog game, and after exhausting the last drop of blood, he will come out and kick it, even if it is a dead corpse, it doesn't matter. You can get the most out of it with the least risk.

"Australia's big picture has been decided. However, until they are fully in control, the Japanese should not be in trouble. When they are about to rule the entire Australian continent, it is unlikely that they will send their main forces back to intercept us. It is not possible to bring back so many troops. Fan Chong frowned lightly and explained.

Now in the war situation in the Indochina Peninsula, China has the upper hand. There are fewer troops to return to the army, and it will not work at all. There are many troops to send back reinforcements, not to mention the situation affecting Australia, I am afraid that a series of troubles with so many troops being transported from Australia to the Indochina Peninsula alone are enough to give the Japanese a headache. The troops they transferred to Australia were supported by a base behind them, which reduced a lot of logistical burdens, and it was relatively smooth.

"There is news from the Japanese high-level that the Japanese and Australian troops will not be transferred back to the main force for the time being, and they must first consolidate the results of Australia." Meng Xiang said with a smile.

Several people knew that Meng Xiang had intelligence in his hands that had infiltrated the Japanese high-level, and since Meng Xiang was so sure, he must have something to be sure of.

"Then the Japanese army in Indochina is already vulnerable." Fan Chong nodded, then pointed to Melbourne on the map and said: "It's just that if we increase our offensive efforts in Indochina, will the Americans continue to hold on." If they hold on, they may be able to hold out for three months or even longer, depending on the surrounding mountainous terrain. ”

He knew that Meng Xiang had some plans for Australia, and if he wanted to fully implement them and monopolize Australia, he had to first set aside the Americans.

The Americans have only lost the springboard of the Australian mainland, and in the future, even if they are enthusiastic about the actions of the Chinese on the Australian mainland, they will have to fight all the way from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

At this time, Meng Xiang wanted to intensify his offensive against the Japanese army, which would undoubtedly give the Americans more hope. It was hoped that the Chinese would be able to hold back more of the main forces of the Japanese army, and that the main Japanese forces would be able to return to the Indochina Peninsula.

"It will take at least a month to carry out these plans." Meng Xiang raised his index finger, "One month." Enough for the Americans to retreat on their own initiative! ”

……

Time is getting tighter and tighter, and Meng Xiang's grasp of the situation is becoming more and more difficult.

On the eastern front of Europe, the Russians were able to resist the Germans with the help of the cold winter, but after the weather warmed up in the spring, the Americans had little hope that Soviet Russia would resist the Germans.

On the Western Front, although the British and Germans were still strangled on the island of Great Britain, the British were helping the Americans. It has stabilized its position. If more aid is provided, the crisis on the Western Front can be suspended.

This year, the horsepower of the U.S. Arsenal will reach its peak, and more and more weapons and trained soldiers will be shipped from the United States to the rest of the world. If Australia's affairs cannot be resolved in the first half of this year, the Americans who have recovered their strength may cling to Australia and will never give up.

At the beginning of '43, when the Japanese and Germans were at their most ferocious, it was perhaps the best time to force the Americans to retreat from Australia.

Sure enough, the victory of the Japanese in Sydney. Let the Americans and their worries.

Nearly 30,000 U.S. troops died in Sydney, sparking some opposition at home.

With Sydney under the control of the Japanese, how much will be lost in Melbourne alone?

The Americans did see hope in the Chinese offensive on Indochina. We have increased our support and tried our best to meet some of the bamboo bars knocked out by Huaxia.

However, Yamashita Fengfumi's strategy seemed to have some effect, and the scattered Japanese troops in various places still insisted on fighting, so that the Chinese army had to slow down, eliminate the remnants of the enemy, and provide a safe environment for logistics support. But this makes the Americans say nothing.

Stilwell followed Sun Liren and experienced the dangers of jungle warfare.

From time to time, small Japanese troops sprang out of the jungle and attacked the logistics units in Huaxia. Even attacked Sun Liren's rear command again.

The rear is not at peace, and the front does not dare to stretch the front at all.

Stilwell personally made a report to explain all this, and at the same time told the bravery and strength of the Chinese army. It is suggested that the United States must establish a good alliance with China.

The Americans, too, can only wait for Japan's reaction.

However, the Japanese did not stop the Australian offensive and return to the Indochina Peninsula, but concentrated their forces to continue to advance southward.

The situation in Indochina was a relief for the Japanese. When Yamashita swept the Malay Peninsula from Thailand to Singapore to create a miracle, it took nearly two months. Even if the Chinese army attacked well, it would have taken longer to sweep across the entire Indochina Peninsula. And then there's the naval threat to the coastline. Even if China occupies part of the land, it will not be able to pose much of a threat to sea transportation for the time being.

By the time the Huaxia Navy arrives to threaten the Japanese transportation routes, I am afraid that the Japanese army will have already returned to help and drive Huaxia out.

Perhaps seeing the victory of the Japanese in Australia in sight, both the cottage and the umbrella company have increased their support for the Japanese in Australia, which also makes the Japanese more confident.

The Allied forces were demoralized and retreated again and again, and with the participation of cloned spies and sub-bases, they were broken through by the Japanese army one after another.

The Japanese army crossed the Murray River in Liankebang Bala, Adelaide and other places, and the three fronts pressed towards Melbourne.

"We'll make it to the end!" Australian Prime Minister Curtin is a man who will never give up. The care for their homeland has made many Australians also determined to fight to the death.

But Americans don't think so.

China's operations in the Indochina Peninsula did not bring back the main reinforcements of the Japanese, and the Japanese offensive was rapid, and the Japanese navy blocked the aid channel, so that the Americans no longer saw the opportunity to turn the tables in Australia.

There is already a domestic debate in the United States about withdrawing troops from Australia.

"It would be nice if the Huaxia people attacked earlier!" MacArthur said with a little frustration. A series of defeats have caused his domestic evaluation to plummet, and some people are even shouting for a change of coach.

He could only consider himself unlucky.

In his opinion, the offensive of the Chinese in Indochina could indeed pose a great threat to the Japanese, but it was too late to start the war. If the honeymoon period between China and the United States had come earlier, I am afraid that the main Japanese forces would have been stranded in the Indochina Peninsula long ago, and they might not even be able to reach the Australian mainland.

But who made Huaxia better with the Germans before, and those people in Washington were also worried about the southward invasion of Huaxia's forces, and finally at a critical moment, everything was arranged a little late.

"It might be better if the Chinese army directly aided Australia." Thomas Bremen said unceremoniously.

MacArthur was a man who was not willing to be lonely, and before the Australian army occupied it, he could only hang an empty name and could not meddle in the army too much.

However, with the continuous increase of the US army and the support of US aid, MacArthur's tone gradually hardened and frequently interfered in the affairs of the Australian army. The contradiction between the two people is intensifying day by day.

Now it's normal for Bremen to complain. This is already a mercy, and he is still muttering in his heart: "If only your U.S. military could behave more tenaciously and resist more resolutely." ”

In Sydney, it was the U.S. military that was the first to collapse. In the subsequent blocking battle, it was the first US troops to withdraw, allowing the Japanese to easily overcome several dangers.

This made Bremen even more dissatisfied, and if he hadn't understood that Australia still needed to count on the Americans, he would have made a big accusation.

He understood that even if the Chinese came to Australia, they would not be able to do without the naval support of the Americans. Otherwise, the Chinese army would not have been able to get here at all, and would not have been able to give Australia as much material support as the Americans.

However, as a representative of the Australian military, he also needs to draw a certain line with the Americans, so he can't help but complain: "Maybe Melbourne's defense needs more strength from your warships." ”

The loss of Sydney was also related to the involvement of the Japanese Navy, and apparently at a time when the Anglo-Australian fleet was pitiful, the American support fleet was also somewhat negligent in not containing the Japanese South Pacific Fleet.

……

"This is a disgrace to our Pacific Navy!" Nimitz yelled at the admirals below.

The cunning Japanese sent a fleet to attack the Aleutian Islands, causing Nimitz and the others to divert their attention to the North Pacific. Even the Japanese submarine was spotted near Hawaii, and the Americans, who had suffered a loss, could not help but raise their vigilance, lest the Japanese would once again destroy Pearl Harbor, which was being rebuilt.

When the Huaxia Navy had just sunk the Musashi and cruised in the East China Sea, when the U.S. Pacific Fleet was rebuilding its base in Hawaii and pinning down the Japanese Continental Fleet near Midway, the Americans did not expect that the Japanese would send a powerful fleet to assist Sydney so quickly.

The lack of a better base for naval advances left the Americans one step behind, and the Battle of Sydney ended the U.S. Navy in disgrace. Although there were no losses, and even the naval fighters sank a Japanese destroyer, the strategic goal of the Sydney Americans was lost, and even affected the entire Australian strategy.

"We won't give up! We need a victory to wash away our shame! The battlefield is here! Nimitz said as he pointed to the Bass Strait.
