Chapter 711: The Spot Over Red Square

The November sky in the South Seas has been obscured by the fierce flames of the Japanese. )

The Americans barely defended themselves in the Bataan area, and the footprints of Japanese boots began to appear on the land of Dutch Indonesia, and even the island of New Britain and the port of Rabaul, which were defended by the Australian army, fell into the range of the Japanese advancing south.

But the darkest clouds in people's hearts are still floating from Singapore.

On 30 October, street fighting in Singapore lasted for more than four days before the British army raised a white flag and surrendered. Two days later, as the sun was setting in November, Lieutenant General Percival of the British army signed his name on the agreement of unconditional surrender, and the triumphant Yamashita sat there to accept the surrender. The Singaporeans, who were forcibly driven by the Japanese into a queue on both sides of the road, silently watched the unique victory parade held by the Japanese army and listened to them sing triumphant songs.

More than 00,000 captives, including 50,000 Anglo-Australian whites, listened to the unique tunes of the Japanese singing with their heads bowed in frustration. In this raid on Singapore, the Japanese lost less than 2,000 dead and captured 740 artillery pieces, more than 2,500 machine guns, 65,000 rifles and other light weapons, in addition to 200 armored vehicles and thousands of cars and trucks.

On top of that, Singapore's ports and airports, as well as many of the facilities in Singapore, were intact except for some damage from Japanese fire, and the British had no intention of destroying them.

"Why don't you destroy these facilities?" Yamashita asked curiously.

Lieutenant General Parcival was silent, but a major officer next to him raised his chin and replied haughtily, "Because we have to come back." ”

"Come back? You don't believe that Britain will lose in this big war? In the laughter of the Japanese officer next to him, Yamashita Fengfumi also turned his head to ask him with a smile.

"We may be defeated ninety-nine times, but in the last time, our British Empire will still stand tall and win the final victory!" The young major's raised face was full of the pride of the Anglo-Saxon nation.

Yamashita Fengwen was silent for a moment, then stopped the Japanese officer next to him from scolding, just shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently: "Maybe!" Definitely not now, though! ”

Now the British army has been defeated one after another.

The fall of Singapore meant that the Japanese army took control of the Straits of Malacca. Large swaths of the area that is still resisting have lost the possibility of receiving immediate support. http://

Even on the other side of the Strait of Malacca, the Japanese were still being pushed back by the British.

in the region of Myanmar. The Japanese army had also occupied the eastern Burmean town of Lam Meanon and the areas to the south. The troops were divided into two routes, of which the 33rd Division went straight to Rangoon.

Alexander, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Anglo-Burmese army, once again urged the operation in Chongqing.

May 7th. At the same time that the Japanese 33rd Division crushed the defense lines of the Salween River and the Milin River defended by the Anglo-Indian troops. The vanguard of the 200th Division, which had been stationed in Yunnan, was the first to enter Burma.

But this news did not go unnoticed at all, and by this time the eyes of the world were already focused on Moscow's Red Square.

The military parade in Soviet Russia to celebrate the October Revolution took place as usual.

In November, the temperature plummeted below freezing.

Even though the Germans urgently bought a large number of winter clothes from China, the number of winter clothes at the front was still somewhat insufficient.

China needed to survive the colder winter in Siberia, and Meng Xiang's large reserves of winter supplies were given priority to the Siberian military and civilians.

Of course, in the face of the high-priced acquisition by the Germans, Meng Xiangcai, who had already been prepared, slowly released a larger reserve. The winter clothes produced by the factories in China and the hand-sewn winter clothes by many families were soon shipped to Germany. But the logistical line from Germany to Soviet Russia was stagnant.

The front line urgently needs not only winter clothing, but also ammunition, food and daily necessities. It's a lot of consumption. The long supply lines became a weakness for the Germans, so as November, half of the winter clothes were not delivered to the front.

This is much better than the original German army in the plane that was not prepared at all, and there are still a large number of winter clothes that are gradually being transported in the rear. But there were also many German soldiers who were not adapted to the Moscow climate and began to suffer from frostbite.

Under the influence of some spies, the phantom of the defeat of Napoleon's army often haunted the ears of the soldiers.

Seeing that Moscow was close at hand, it had already touched the edge of the city, and even the vanguard of the Moscow city had seen the spire of the Kremlin, but there was still no exciting progress throughout October. The tired faces of some German soldiers also began to bewilder.

After the passion of war slowly passed, all that remained was a long road of struggle.

In the face of existential threats, under the many compromises begun by Stalin, the internal contradictions of the Soviet Russians began to hide, and the spearhead began to be directed against the Germans.

On the special day of 7 July, Stalin refused to let go and resolutely instructed the preparations for this celebration, which was very important for the cohesion of the people.

At this time, Moscow was surrounded by more than 80 German divisions from the north, south and west. In addition to the tooth-to-tooth and steel-on-steel clashes of troops on the plains near Moscow, German reconnaissance units were already engaged in fierce street battles with the Russians on the edge of the city.

When the news broke that the Russians were going to hold a military parade, the Germans, who were stimulated, attacked even more fiercely. With the support of aviation and heavy artillery, the Germans became the sharpest spears in the world at this time, only the most ferocious attacks met the most tenacious defenses. Regardless of the cost and sacrifice of the defense, the Russians poured an unbreakable defensive front with a large number of fresh corpses and blood coagulated at low temperatures.

Finally, the military parade of Soviet Russia on November 7 began on time.

After a solemn rally to celebrate the 24th anniversary at the Mayakovsky station of the Underground Railway, Stalin stepped out of the underground bunker and stood in the sight of the numerous waiting parade soldiers.

Almost all the nearby Soviet and Russian planes have taken off, blocking and entangled the air attacks of German fighters, the location of Red Square is not within the scope of ordinary artillery attacks for the time being, and the German heavy artillery positions that can be detected have also been taken care of by the Soviet and Russian artillery as much as possible, trying to eliminate the threat of possible super artillery.

Although this threat was still somewhat clouded in Stalin's mind, he had to take the risk of standing up and convey the indomitable spirit of the Slavs to the whole of Soviet Russia and the whole world through this military parade, so as to make the heart of the whole of Soviet Russia burn and burst into full potential.

"Red Army and Red Navy soldiers, commanders and political workers, men and women, collective farm men and women, intellectual workers, brothers and sisters in the rear of the enemy, temporarily trapped under the oppression of robbers! Our glorious partisan men and women who are destroying the rear of the Germans! I speak for ......" In the eyes of expectation, Stalin began his famous speech with only one representative,

“…… Destroy Deko! Long live our glorious Motherland! Long live the freedom and independence of our Motherland! Advance to victory under the banner of Lenin! ”

With proper arrangements in advance, Stalin finally completed his speech without the slightest abridgement, and a deafening sound of Ulla suddenly erupted over Red Square.

No danger arose, and in the frenzy that had already been stirred up, Stalin was in a good mood for a while, not noticing the strange noise in the distant air.

"Unknown fighter plane spotted! The 6th squadron quickly intercepted! "At this time, the radar station set up in Moscow had already heard the signal of an attack by enemy aircraft, and the interception order of the Air Defense Command was issued immediately afterward.

But before he could report the number and distance, an exclamation followed: "Oh no, they're too fast, stop them......"

The experienced commander had already calculated that he could not intercept it, and could only urgently activate the danger signal to Stalin.

Stalin saw the signal of the air attack and could not help frowning slightly. For this parade, so many fighters were dispatched, but they still did not stop the German plane, which made him very annoyed.

"The Air Force needs to adjust again!" Stalin said in his heart that he did not evacuate immediately, and the eyes of many Russian soldiers and people below were focused on him, and it was impossible for him to make too sudden movements. Moreover, he was confident that the air defense forces arranged around Red Square would be able to take down any incoming small air strikes.

"Only 12 planes, what a fuss!" He then learned about the number of incoming enemy planes and was completely relieved. But he ignored the unidentified and extremely fast sentence behind him, and only raised his eyelids slightly to the sky.

There seemed to be strange specks in the sky, but the sound of all voices was masked by the continuous sound of Ula on Red Square, and groups of Soviet and Russian soldiers were crossing the parade ground and heading straight to the front.

Feeling the boiling of this scene, Stalin did not care about the growing blob above his head, he believed that the dense network of anti-aircraft artillery would solve all these problems.

The spots that blurred the vision continued to expand, still silently, and the people on Red Square were immersed in great patriotic passion.

Even if they hadn't heard the earth-shattering cheers, the roar of the plane's engines and the whistling of the shells, they wouldn't have paid much attention to the faint speck in the air that left the sound far behind them.

Naturally, they did not know a series of exclamations from the air defense forces in the distance:

"They're so fast! Before they could take aim, they flew by. Anti-aircraft artillery can't stop it at all! …… Oh my God, they even exceeded the speed of sound! ”

Not only the speed of sound, but also the spots flying at Mach 4.8 are getting closer and closer, heading straight for Red Square.
