Chapter 880 - To be completely resolved
"What the Chinese are plotting will be the entire Australian continent!" Churchill said to Roosevelt on the other end of the phone with a grim face.
The movements of the Chinese army in Australia were constantly summarized on his desk, and the anxiety in his heart was no less than that of the Japanese.
After the Chinese occupation of Spencer Bay cut off the rear supply of the Japanese army's Pinon front, the Japanese army fighting in the front was greatly affected, and the Chinese army took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, destroying more than 60,000 enemies and completely crushing the Japanese army on this road.
The remaining 20,000 Japanese troops were fleeing to the central area of Lake Aydin, but the opposite side was met with a rout on the Mali front.
The Japanese army deployed more than 40,000 troops in Ayding Lake, and they only had more than 10,000 troops parachuted in by Chinese airships and transport planes, which made them feel at ease.
However, most of the area around Lake Ayding was also under the direct jurisdiction of the sub-base, and the fact that 16,000 steel troops, armed with more than 500 tanks and more than 1,000 armored vehicles and self-propelled guns, quickly annihilated more than 30,000 people told the Japanese of the true strength of the Chinese army.
Then the Chinese army that arrived through the Great Sand Desert and the Thomson River increased, and by mid-September, the Chinese army had advanced along the Darling River.
Looking at the formation of more than 400,000 Chinese troops gathered on the north and west banks of the Ling River, anyone understands that the Japanese counterattack this time has completely failed, not to mention the counterattack, and it is difficult to even say that it is difficult to keep the last southeast corner of Australia.
The British, who had long known that the Chinese Army was powerful, did not care about this, they were more concerned about the appearance of the Chinese fleet in Australia.
The fact that the Japanese could not blockade the army and air force in China did not mean that the British could not blockade them.
As long as the European war ended, the British were confident that they would be able to withdraw the Chinese army from Australia with their centuries-old colonial heritage in Southeast Asia and Australia.
However, Huaxia soon conjured up a naval fleet in Australia, which made the situation in Australia change a lot.
First of all, with the support of the navy, the Chinese army conquered the entire Australian continent at an accelerated pace. It may not wait for Britain and the United States to get out of the European war. They may have defeated the Japanese first and secured the Australian mainland.
Thirdly, since the Huaxia people can buy a fleet quickly, then there may be a second and third fleets that can be bought from the forces that support Huaxia behind them. The blockade of China may not work. The force behind Huaxia is stronger than they imagined, and the relationship with the Huaxia people is even better than they imagined.
This means that it is more difficult for them to recover Australia than they imagined.
It's a pity that their negotiations with Huaxia have repeatedly been deflated by Yan Xishan, and they have never come up with a single way of talking. And by their strength. It was no longer enough to provide protection for Australia, so the British could only count on the Americans to come forward.
Compared with the Chinese, the Japanese may swallow Australia whole, and the Americans only appeal to Australia in terms of interests.
"Now that the Japanese fascists have been driven out, the Australian people can return to their hometown!" Roosevelt responded.
The Atlantic Treaty, in which the Americans took advantage of the situation to force the British to sign, made it clear that the areas and colonies occupied by the Germans, Italians, and the Japanese would be the priority of those who recovered and who occupied them. This is also one reason why the British have been clinging to the Middle East and other places and refuse to let the Americans get involved.
If the Australians had not taken the initiative to throw themselves into the Americans, the United States would have to go through the British first if it wanted to meddle in Australia. Moreover, in order to dispel the obstruction of the British, the Americans consciously released water to the Japanese and caused trouble to Australia.
But before the Americans could pick the fruit, they were preempted by the Chinese.
The purpose of the actions of the Chinese people has been made clear. The Americans are not stupid and know the need for a foothold.
If you are in a lawsuit, you will either turn your face. Or rip off. Instead, it is better to use the white Australians themselves to fight for their own interests.
Roosevelt's remark also pointed out the attitude of the Americans, to protect the interests of white Australians to the end. Slogans in the name of local Australian whites are the best beckoning point. Anyway, the Americans behind it don't need those lands, and the benefits from it will not be less than that.
It's just that in the face of the tide of offensive and the Chinese who are vigorously delaying the final negotiations, the Americans really don't have very good measures.
According to their estimates, it will take at least a month and a half before they can carry out a second operation, but judging from the current momentum, in a month and a half, I am afraid that the Chinese army will reach Sydney and Melbourne.
In order to put pressure on the Chinese, the Americans even restricted the movement of the navy a lot, so that the Japanese navy could free up its hands to deal with the Chinese.
However, the Japanese were not at ease with Britain and the United States, so they just protected the southeast corner and waited for more reinforcements to arrive.
"Maybe we'll have to talk to the Japanese!" Churchill was the first to say.
Churchill did not expect Roosevelt on the other side to give him a clear answer, with Pearl Harbor, the Americans, who could not reap enough benefits, would not easily negotiate peace with the Japanese. What's more, after the recent landing failure, when the mood of the people in China is high, even if Roosevelt comes forward to negotiate peace with the Japanese at this time, I am afraid that he will be ousted from power.
But for the sake of Australia's interests, it is necessary to have a good talk with the Japanese. In this matter, it is more appropriate for the British, whose loss of interests is not too great, to come forward.
……
"The British and the little devils are talking?" The news quickly reached Meng Xiang's ears, and Meng Xiang was not too surprised, but he felt that the time for the two sides to compromise was too early.
"Looks like they're going to deal with us together!" Tang Yaoshi's conspiracy theories are applicable both domestic and foreign.
"Well, before they wanted us to hold back the little devils, and now they want the little devils to hold us back!" Meng Xiang nodded.
The Chinese army attacked too fiercely, which frightened Britain and the United States. However, even if the offensive weakened and relied on encroachment, Britain and the United States would not be foolish enough to look down on the intentions of the Chinese army, which occupied most of Australia.
"However, according to the greedy characteristics of the little devils, they will definitely not let Britain and the United States set foot on the Australian continent!" Meng Xiang is very relieved about this, as long as he does not force the Japanese, does not let Britain and the United States attack the Australian mainland, stand firm, and fight for the future, the Chinese army has enough time to react.
"There are also many Japanese who want peace talks with Britain and the United States, and some of them are even former main war factions. The Japanese also saw our threat, and in the face of our suppression from north to south, they might also give up some of Australia's interests. Pharmacist Tang reminded.
"Huh?" Meng Xiang couldn't help but think about it. Although the current intelligence has received information that the Japanese will still not let go of the conditions for Britain and the United States to set foot on the Australian mainland, the demand for peace talks in the Japanese top leadership is still very urgent, and who knows if the Japanese will change their attention?
"Do you want to slow down and relax the suppression of the little devils, or step up and quickly solve Australia?" Meng Xiang couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
As long as the suppression of the Japanese is loosened, the Japanese will never give up their interests, and will still fulfill the duty of a kitchen knife and cut off the heads of the Americans.
If the onslaught continues, I am afraid that the Japanese will really have to compromise with the Americans.
Meng Xiang pondered for a long time before clapping his hands and saying, "Fight!" Can't put it off any longer! ”
Meng Xiang understands that since Huaxia has jumped out, it means that he has already tried to see the dagger, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Japanese and Americans to fight to the death for Australia in the future, so it is better to stop it as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese had not yet negotiated with Britain and the United States and before the large-scale transfer of troops, the Australian issue was quickly resolved. Even if Britain and the United States reacted and wanted to step into the Australian continent, Meng Xiang was ready to do so.
……
With Meng Xiang's order, the Chinese army in Australia continued to attack.
From September 14 to 16, Brisbane's Chinese army fought a counterattack, encircling and annihilating 80,000 Japanese troops who had counterattacked. The torrent of steel swept over Coffs Harbour and advanced to Newcastle near Sydney.
On the 15th, Hu Lian's amphibious combat armored forces crossed the Darling River from near Burke, triggering the rout of the entire defense line along the Darling River, and Hu Lian's troops also captured Orlanye in one go, and the troops were directed at Canberra.
In the early morning of the 16th, Zhang Lingfu's corps crossed the Murray River and occupied Mildura that day.
On the 17th, with the help of the Australian fleet in China, Wang Yaowu's troops completely defeated the 50,000 land reinforcements of the Japanese near Adelaide, took advantage of the situation to cross the Murray River, and marched east to Melbourne with Zhang Lingfu's troops.
At this time, the Japanese, who were secretly bargaining with Britain and the United States, had just obtained a commitment from Britain and the United States to lift the embargo on some strategic goods, and the second naval support force drawn from Sydney and Melbourne to Spencer Bay had just arrived near Mount Gambi when it was stopped by order from the rear.
"We still have 90,000 troops left, how can we defend it?" Shouichi Terauchi said irritablely.
After losing more than 100,000 Japanese troops in Pinong, the Cankula front line and near Lake Aydin, there were less than 200,000 Japanese troops stationed in Australia. Two batches of reinforcements came in a row, and they were annihilated by the fierce offensive of the Chinese army during this period of time, annihilating more than 180,000 Japanese troops who transferred the main force of the army to the front line, and only less than 100,000 in the rear could prevent the airborne landing of the Chinese army, but could not stop the 400,000 Chinese army attacking from both sides.
"Do you really want to make concessions to the Americans?" Shouichi Terauchi was desolate in his heart, and in the end he ended up making wedding dresses for others.
"We still have 400,000 expatriates, it's time for them to pick up guns and do their allegiance to the Empire!" Dissatisfied with the performance of Shouichi Terauchi, Prince Yuyomito, who was sent by Hirohito to Australia to take over the command.
