"This time, the Americans are honest!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.

This is not just schadenfreude, but the failure of the Americans to land in Australia removed a big stone that Meng Xiang was pressing on his heart and gave China more opportunities.

The landing of Chinese troops in Australia also stimulated the Americans, so that their Pacific strategy began to be carried out in advance.

The Americans and the British, together with the Torch Program, successfully landed in North Africa, which gave them a big boost in confidence. Together with the Allied forces of Australia, New Zealand and other British Commonwealth, more than 500,000 people were involved in the landing campaign, giving them enough confidence.

But their asymmetry in the news, but they stepped into the ambush of the Japanese who were reminded and took a head-on blow.

More than 40,000 people were either killed or captured by the Japanese, making it the deadliest battle in the history of the American expedition.

In the first war in which the Americans fished in troubled waters, the number of casualties was only more than 50,000, and besides, they were only casualties, not casualties.

Although there were more than 200,000 casualties on the battlefield in Europe, only about 50,000 were killed or captured, and the overwhelming fire rescue and timely medical assistance of the Americans reduced the casualty rate.

And this time, 70,000 Allied soldiers who landed on the beach were closed by the Japanese and beat their dogs, and less than 10,000 escaped.

The Americans were desperate to rescue the American troops who were trapped on the beachhead, but the Japanese gathered near Sydney with strong naval and air force strength, coupled with the difficulty of landing, and stubbornly withstood the rescue operation of the American troops.

The Japanese soldiers, who braved artillery fire and aircraft bombardment like mad dogs, took the opportunity to shatter the last vestige of confidence in the resistance of those American troops, and the remaining more than 20,000 American troops and more than 10,000 other Allied troops who were short of food and ammunition raised their hands and surrendered.

In this battle, in terms of strength, the US army must be stronger than the Japanese army. But their strength was not fully developed at all, and they were blinded by a stick.

This made Meng Xiang more aware of the importance of intelligence.

For a long time, outsiders have only noticed the advanced weapons and sufficient logistics of the vanguard army, but if it weren't for the selfless dedication of a group of clone spies behind him, Meng Xiang would not have anticipated the enemy and become invincible every time he fought.

At present, more than half of the places in the training base continue to be used for the training of spies. It has been continuously put into the world, and has slowly converged into a huge network, summarizing all kinds of messages from all over the world on Meng Xiang's table.

Roosevelt was in Washington with a furious news over the matter, less than 24 hours ago. It has already reached Meng Xiang's ears.

There have never been huge casualties, Washington originally wanted to cover it up, and the Japanese also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate peace with the Americans, but the news was still spread by the channels in Meng Xiang's hands, which made Washington very passive.

Some people were worried about the casualties in the battle and began to call for peace talks. But some were also outraged by the huge casualties this time.

In Europe, the casualties of the Americans, though were not few. But what they bring is victory, glory, and great benefits. And the Australian landing battle was an unprecedented defeat.

"We will never give in to the Japanese fascists!" Roosevelt once again stated that he would continue to fight the Japanese to the end.

They will never give up the interests of Asia and Australia, and before that, they will inevitably confront the Japanese.

At this time, the Chinese people mixed in and seized part of the interests of East and Southeast Asia first. and even began to meddle in Australia. This annoyed the top of the United States.

But the Chinese, under the guise of dealing with the Japanese, made it impossible for the Americans to turn their faces. At this time, the Americans naturally could not give up the name of dealing with the Japanese.

But. Although the Americans shouted to fight to the end, this time the heavy blow made them slow down for a long time.

The losses of the US Navy are not large, the losses of fighters are not small, but they are nothing compared to the morale blow of the Army.

The continuous accumulation of transportation in New Zealand gave the Americans the ability to continue landing operations, but the low morale made them lose the courage to continue the landing.

This is not something that can be recovered in a while.

Of course, in this battle, they also tested the strength of the Japanese, and they were very relieved to let the Chinese army gnaw on this hard bone. In their opinion. At least until they complete their army reorganization and start the second landing operation, it will be difficult for the Chinese army to do much.

Unfortunately, they misguessed the intelligence source of the Japanese ambush this time, and also overestimated the strength of the Japanese army.

The Japanese were attacked by China at every turn, from the Korean Peninsula to the Indochina Peninsula to Australia. If Meng Xiang hadn't let them contain the Americans, I'm afraid they would have been completely dragged down and killed.

For this ambush, the Japanese mobilized most of the air power and more than half of the artillery fire in the southeast of Australia under the release of Chinese troops in various places.

On the front line of the operation in contact with the Chinese army, it seems that the battle is fierce, but the Japanese have been retaining their strength, and have laid down a lot of empty city plans and ** formations to hide people's eyes and ears, and the Chinese army on the opposite side also pretended not to know, and both sides fought very modestly. Only then did the Japanese concentrate more than half of their strength in the Sydney area, creating a false impression of strength for the Americans. Otherwise, the Japanese would not have swallowed only the first wave of the Allied landing force.

Under heavy American firepower, in a week of continuous operations, although 60,000 Allied troops were annihilated, the Japanese also paid more than 80,000 casualties. This is still the case of obtaining intelligence in advance and preparing for the geographical advantage.

The Americans can't afford to hurt it, and the Japanese can't afford to hurt it either.

The previous counteroffensive made the Japanese have to send more than 300,000 troops to the front line, and the Japanese troops deployed in the rear are only more than 250,000 troops, which is also one of the reasons why the Americans want to pick up the leaks.

But a big war caused the Japanese to suffer heavy losses, and the remaining 100,000 people had to defend not only Sydney, but also Melbourne, Canberra and other big cities.

Moreover, after a battle, although the Japanese Navy also did not lose much, it also lost more than 130 fighters, and what worried the Japanese even more was that their ammunition supply was a little tight.

Since the loss of the puppet Manchurians, North Korea and other places, Japan's military industrial system only relies on its own territory, and it is simply unable to meet the consumption of more than 6 million troops. In addition to satisfying the elite troops, the other units are often short of ammunition, and some recruits are not even equipped with guns.

In the past, although the Allies embargoed the Japanese, and the Germans were also logistically tight and remote and unable to provide strong support, the Japanese contacted the umbrella company and the copycat company at the same time, at least to make up for the lack of ammunition, so that the expeditionary Japanese have not been subjected to too much logistical pressure, so that they were able to take down half of India and Australia.

With the full-scale war between them and Huaxia, especially after Huaxia landed in Australia, Shanzhai completely cut off the ammunition supply to the Japanese.

Yes, the Japanese are not surprised, after all, the relationship between Huaxia and Shanzhai companies is very iron, and everyone knows it. They didn't care too much, but they were worried that the heart that was doing tricks in the middle of the copycat company would fall back. After all, they still have umbrella companies behind them.

Unlike copycat companies, which like to pay for military expenses with hard currency, the umbrella companies are most active in exchanging arms for the land occupied by the Japanese and other looted real estate, which also makes the Japanese who consciously tie them to the same chariot more reassuring.

Because of the arms business, the umbrella company and the Americans are very incompatible, which is also a reason to reassure the Japanese.

The timely supply of the umbrella company gave the Japanese the confidence to counterattack the Chinese army.

But when the Allies began the landing operation, they found the Umbrella Company. Relying on the compromise of a large number of orders received in Europe, the umbrella company used this as an excuse to reduce the supply of Australian arms to the Japanese.

With the attrition of the front and the Chinese battle and the depletion of this large-scale ambush battle, the Japanese found that their ammunition was a little tight.

Originally, the Americans wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, but now even if the Americans deliberately conceal it, it is still being used by the Chinese army.

When the Americans carried out rescue operations, they begged the Chinese army to storm on the Chinese-Japanese front line and contain more Japanese troops.

But even the Americans could not imagine that the American troops who stayed on the beach surrendered too quickly, and when the American troops were defeated and unable to fight again, the Chinese army, which had once again made enough money, launched a more fierce offensive along the river.

After the Japanese had just defeated the Americans, their confidence swelled again, and they resolutely resisted the offensive in China. If it weren't for the fear of the Chinese army's airborne, I'm afraid they would have drawn more than 80,000 personnel.

Half of the 80,000 were used on the western fronts near Pinon and Takura, and the Huaxia army attacked most fiercely in this direction than elsewhere.

The Chinese army, which had already taken root in the southwest corner, received a large amount of supplies, and tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery armed the 100,000 Chinese troops along the way into an iron fist dominated by mechanized troops.

Torrents of steel swept across the edge of the Victorian Desert and rolled eastward.

The Japanese army gathered 150,000 troops here, and with the advantage of the geographical advantage on the edge of the desert and the landfilling of meat shells and cannon fodder, they blocked the first wave of attacks of the Chinese army. But more than 50,000 casualties forced the Japanese to mobilize more troops to support. Behind is the rich land surrounding Spencer Bay, such as Port Augusta, and the Japanese will not let go.

When this batch of Japanese reinforcements had just arrived at Pinon and other front lines, a piece of news almost broke them.

The port of Augusta was occupied by the Chinese army.
