"We need to observe more of the Chinese people's style of play!" Marshall did not give Roosevelt a specific figure for how much he lost, but suggested it directly to Roosevelt.

Neither Leahy nor he could say how many American troops would need to be lost to capture Irian Island, and this question could only be answered by MacArthur and Nimitz on the front line, and they could only be speechless.

The madness of the Japanese was beyond the expectations of the Americans.

Although victory on Kuah Island is in sight, with a loss of nearly 1 to 1, even if the death rate is 3 to 1, it is difficult for the Americans to accept.

Sometimes, the more talkative wounded make the U.S. government more passive.

In this way, it is possible to roughly estimate how many U.S. troops will be consumed if New Britain Island, where Rabaul is still stationed, and how many casualties will be incurred in conquering Irian Island, where about 170,000 Japanese troops are stationed one after another.

If Roosevelt can still hold down this casualty figure, then the subsequent recovery of the Philippines and even the loss of the islands in Southeast Asia will completely collapse the Americans.

Various think tanks in the United States have launched large-scale calculations: Why would the Americans, when they have superiority in both the air and the sea, suffer from the overwhelming crushing of firepower, and they will make the Japanese, who have been defeated in the hands of China one after another, almost lose confidence?

In the end, their vision was focused on jungle warfare.

If it were on the plains, it might only be artillery and armored vehicles to completely wipe out the Japanese soldiers with 38 rifles, but in the jungle of Kuah Island, those tropical forests seem to have become their helpers.

Even though the Americans have done a lot of research on jungle warfare, and have also studied the tropical and subtropical jungles of Asia, the American GIs are very uninterested in jungle melee combat and night combat, and it is normal for the Americans to suffer heavy losses when the jungle terrain restricts the United States' superiority in firepower.

"The environment in many parts of Southeast Asia is similar to that of Kuah. There were more Japanese troops there. But they were defeated again and again in front of the Chinese army. We can learn from the experience of the Chinese people! "The think tanks of the US military have unanimously asked to learn from the Chinese military in Southeast Asia.

Although the Chinese army did not attack in Australia, their war in Indochina continued.

Perhaps inconspicuous compared to the large-scale battles around the world. But there are always skirmishes and fierce battles, and the cascade of casualties hidden in the subtropical jungle is amassing an impressive record.

For three months from September to December, on the Indochina Peninsula. The Japanese had already lost 280,000 Japanese troops and 630,000 puppet troops.

In addition to the puppet army from Burma, Thailand, Malaya and French Indochina, 150,000 puppet troops from India were also filled.

If it had not been for the fact that the Japanese had intercepted and deciphered the telegram to the island requesting aid in the transfer of troops, the Americans would not have been amazed by this.

Although after they had an in-depth understanding, they found that some of the puppet troops in the achievements of destroying the enemy were not even fully equipped with cold weapons, they did not hide the brilliant achievements of the Chinese people. The Americans had already tasted the bitterness of jungle warfare, but the Indochina Peninsula, which was also dominated by Japanese elite troops, was led by famous generals such as Malay Tiger Yamashita Fengwen, but it still carried a big heel in the hands of the Chinese, losing nearly 300,000.

"It is said. The Chinese threw 2 million troops into the Indochina Peninsula. They will have the advantage of fighting more and fighting less, and even they are not afraid of so many casualties. The life of the Chinese people is always so cheap. I have been to China once in more than a decade, and I remember that a man who was still strong could become a private slave for less than a dollar. And there was a slightly larger drought and flood there. Hundreds of thousands of people are often killed or wounded. Or even millions of people. "There are obviously some in the U.S. military who look down on China, which was once weak.

It has only been a few years since the rapid rise of China, in this world of unobstructed information. Even when the news came, there were still many people who doubted the accuracy of the information. Moreover, many people's concepts, especially adults, are difficult to change by the outside world once they are formed. Even with the victory over the two second-rate armies of Japan and Soviet Russia, it could not shake the subjective judgment in the hearts of many people.

This is also one of the reasons why when some people in the top level of the United States are vigorously shouting about the threat of China, and many people do not think so.

"I'm sure the Chinese have mastered the art of fighting in the jungle. Even from the information we received from the Japanese, the casualties they inflicted on the Chinese army did not exceed 200,000. It should be noted that this value is to annihilate 630,000 puppet troops who are familiar with the local terrain and adapt to the tropical environment in China, and this figure reported by the Japanese to their superiors may have to be discounted.

At least we didn't see so many corpses and wounded in Huaxia hospitals in Mandalay, Myitkyina, Kunming and Vientiane. You must know that the Chinese people's respect for the corpses of soldiers is very famous. We even investigated the transaction volume of nearby coffin shops and hospital beds, and finally came up with a relatively reliable casualty figure of about 100,000. This was accurate information sent by Admiral Stilwell, refuting the speculation that Huaxia had won the victory by heavy losses.

Stilwell, who had been staying in China, watched the various parts of China go from day to day, and he also felt a hint of threat to China's Asian policy. However, the veteran general still had confidence in the huge military power of the United States in his heart, and did not panic about the strength of the Chinese army.

On the contrary, he has been investigating Li Qiwei in China, but he is a strong supporter of the Chinese threat theory.

"Huaxia has a lot of training grounds in Yunnan and Guangxi, which are specifically aimed at jungle warfare. Every Chinese soldier sent to the Indochina Peninsula undergoes at least a month of acclimatization training. This month is for non-combatant soldiers in the military, who are fighting on the front lines and may need at least three months of intensive training. It is said that some Chinese soldiers began relevant training two years ago. God, could it be that the Chinese people have been premeditated a long time ago? Could it be that they had already looked to the south when the North was at war with Soviet Russia?

It's quite possible! I can feel that the strategic vision of the Chinese people is as long as their history. When Li Qiwei sent back the report to China, he also emphasized the fact that the Chinese people had been trained in jungle warfare.

He didn't know that the Huaxia army also had similar training camps on the Nanyang Islands, and even related special training camps in the tropical jungles of the Americas and Africa, but those relatively transparent training camps in China made him keenly aware that Huaxia's southern strategy had been prepared for a long time.

"How many troops do the Japanese still have on the Indochina Peninsula? Although there is no exact number, even if the Japanese abandon Australia, it is difficult for them to gather more than 500,000 people on the Indochina Peninsula. And how many Huaxia people are there? 2 million are just soldiers, elite soldiers. Even the soldiers who guarded the logistics and transportation lines were trained after three months of recruit training with 1,000 rounds of live ammunition, comparable to a Japanese veteran.

In addition, there were many militia groups organized by local Chinese to serve the Chinese army, some of whom had undergone formal training from the Chinese army, and were well-armed and well-armed to be no less than the Japanese recruits. As for the combat effectiveness of the local indigenous armies, which were trended by the bayonets and machine guns of the Japanese, it is needless to mention that the subordinate native armies armed by the Huaxia can easily suppress them, and I dare say that the Chinese army has never regarded them as opponents.

In this way, only 500,000 Chinese troops were needed to defeat the Japanese and completely occupy Indochina.

Yes, it's 500,000. What I said is no exaggeration, there is no need to come to me again under the pretext of numbers to re-verify. This figure is my careful calculation, and the actual situation is even smaller.

If in an environment like Indochina, a Chinese soldier against a Japanese soldier, the odds of victory and defeat are not much different. Many Japanese soldiers have also undergone rigorous training, and they have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat. But they lost on the equipment. The submachine guns and pistols of the Chinese soldiers, the bayonets that the Japanese soldiers had worked so hard to train were, were useless in most cases.

But you need to remember what a certain instructor in the Huaxia training camp said, in the jungle, a cold weapon is always indispensable. In some cases, Japanese soldiers were able to fight with their bayonets to regain their inferiority. This situation is also a cause for concern, and our M1911 is not reliable at all times.

Of course, this is in a one-on-one situation, but this rarely happens. Chinese soldiers will always develop various coordination formations. Even in the jungle, these formations are effective, and if 10 Chinese soldiers and 10 Japanese soldiers meet, I will crush the Chinese to win. If it is a direct comparison of a thousand soldiers, there is no suspense in the ending. The various equipment of the Chinese people for the jungle completely overwhelmed the Japanese.

To put it mildly, even if a thousand of our soldiers met such a well-prepared Chinese army in the jungle, it would not have turned out better than the Japanese.

That's why I would say that only 500,000 Chinese soldiers were needed, which was enough to completely defeat the Japanese in Indochina and the indigenous forces that were trended by the Japanese.

But this is what makes me a little confused, the Chinese have 500,000 troops is enough, why spend more preparation to organize an army of 2 million?

These hidden forces have always made me a little scared, what are the Chinese people going to do? ”
