Chapter 837: How could they attack during the Spring Festival?

"What, the people of China are attacking again?" When Terauchi Shouichi heard the news, he was surprised that the noodle soup at the corner of his mouth dripped off his clothes, and he didn't seem to realize it.

"Let's check the news again!" Shouichi Terauchi couldn't believe it for a while, and after sending out the confirmation news, he sat back and muttered, "Today is the Spring Festival, how could they attack on this day?" ”

Although the Japanese abandoned the lunar Spring Festival, which was synchronized with China, after the Meiji Restoration, and moved the Spring Festival to January 1 of the Western calendar, some of the customs left over from the past are still known to the elderly.

The Japanese understand that the Chinese New Year is definitely the most important festival of the year.

In the past, no matter which side of the Chinese army came, there was no plan to conduct a large-scale war during the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, the soldiers are thinking about their relatives in their hometowns, where do they still have the heart to fight? Some armies will secretly run back by themselves even if their superiors do not give orders to take vacations, and even if some strict military personnel are arranged to stay on duty during the Spring Festival, they are only mainly on defense. Where would anyone be willing to fight hard?

The Japanese also saw that the Chinese Spring Festival was approaching, and they heard that the vanguard army had begun to take turns on holidays, so they took a risk and secretly transferred 200,000 troops from the Indochina Peninsula to Australia.

With the increase of U.S. support for Sydney, especially air support, Sydney has always been holding a sigh of relief, and not all of it has been conquered.

The P-38 fighters on American land withstood the attack of the Japanese Zero, and the M3 tanks that the United States continued to support also blocked the surging force of the Type 95 tank. The main thing is that in the street battles in Sydney, the Australian army behaved with extreme ferocity, and stubbornly suppressed the madness of the Japanese.

Sydney, a beautiful city, has been filled with more than 100,000 lives on both sides, but it is still in a stalemate, like Stalingrad, which has become a grinding plate of flesh and blood.

The Japanese now have more than 800,000 troops on the Australian mainland, but the Australian continent is too big.

They have conquered places such as Paz in southwest Australia. He also captured the port of Piri in southern Australia, but at the cost of a more dispersed force. Although the white Australians in the land they fought were either killed, driven away, or put in coolie camps to open mines and build roads. Few guerrillas came to harass them, but in order to prevent the British and Americans from sneaking attack, the necessary garrisons still had to stay.

As a result, 300,000 were taken from all over the world, and fighting in the middle and lower reaches of the Murray River, such as Adelaide and Mildura, was also raging, with 200,000 men being drained and the remaining 300,000 attacking the defensive lines around Sydney. After more than 100,000 casualties, it seems that the troops are somewhat insufficient.

Street fighting is all about numbers.

On the one hand, the Japanese base camp sent 300,000 recruits from China, and on the other hand, it also set its sights on the elite veterans on the Indochina Peninsula.

In order to fight a decisive battle with China in the jungle, Japan dispatched elite troops from India and its own territory, and deployed 600,000 troops in the Indochina Peninsula.

But Huaxia has never had the intention of attacking, even when the border artillery is fired, it is only fired, and it is completely swept away. will take a step forward.

This kind of tactics of rapid encroachment has made the Japanese helpless, and the Japanese cannot compare with each other in terms of firepower.

The ammunition supply of those Australian troops alone had almost crushed Japanese logistics. Not to mention the garrisons of India and Indochina.

In India, part of the Japanese garrison has begun to use captured British-made weapons to ease logistical pressures. However, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, the elite troops of the Indochina Peninsula uniformly use Japanese-made weapons provided by the mainland.

The guns and bullets are okay, but the massive number of shells can't be compared with the shells that Huaxia seems to never finish.

Even if these large armies retreated step by step, even if these large armies did not have the opportunity to fight, the pressure of logistics still made the Japanese top brass breathless.

Similarly, although the war in Sydney, Australia, has not progressed for a long time, the military spending of Japan's top brass has been rising. Even if there is an umbrella or copycat company to provide some ammunition and weapons for it, but some of it needs real money to pay, and the rising military spending has made the blood pressure of Japan's top brass skyrocket.

The logistical supply of Australia's million-strong army is already their limit. They were massacring and expelling white Australians at the same time. I also have no choice but to face the fact that the territory is occupied, but there are no cattle and sheep to drive. Those indigenous people's mode of production cannot even support themselves, and besides, this is also a friendly army that fights together, where can they do the work of slaves?

Very few Australian prisoners of war and civilians were captured. Even if you desperately drive, you can't supply the logistics of a million-strong army.

Japan sent 300,000 recruits from the mainland to replace those soldiers to Jing'an to prepare for the subsequent immigration, somewhat similar to the meaning of the construction corps, among which there are many female soldiers. In addition to comfort, it can also assist in production.

And the real combat effectiveness, the Japanese base camp is still eyeing those elites in the Indochina Peninsula.

"The encroachment strategy of the Chinese people makes it a bit wasteful for so many of our elite troops to spend there like this!" Some high-level officials directly use military spending to find out the way.

"They can't keep shelling, there will always be a time to stop and launch ground infiltration!" Some Japanese do not believe that Huaxia will continue to bomb, although it has been bombing for more than a month, but such a huge loss, there will always be a time to stop.

How did they know that Meng Xiang was exchanging cheap ammunition from the base for support from the Americans.

Although it is impossible to open the door to the United States with arms, every shell that is fired out will be exchanged for a large amount of support from the stupidly happy Americans.

Even if the shrewd Americans were targeting Huaxia's artillery shells every time, how could they think of the cheap cost of the base that had fallen to the ground, which had already made Huaxia make a lot of money.

"The people of China are now there to cope with the Americans. Their encroachment strategy is so fast that even in another hundred years, it will not necessarily hit Singapore. As long as there are no major changes in the international situation, we do not need to worry too much for the time being. "Some Japanese people also consciously see the doorway.

"The vanguard army is cunning, who knows if they will suddenly attack in a big way!" Someone retorted.

Each attack by the vanguard was sudden, leaving some Japanese unreassured.

"At least we don't have to worry about it lately. Seeing that it is the Spring Festival, do you think that the people of China will launch an attack during the Spring Festival? These young master soldiers will definitely not suffer from this. "Someone's suggestion immediately won the majority of approval.

The Japanese army always likes to sharpen its soldiers with all kinds of difficult conditions, except on the training ground, even in life.

Due to certain conventions, the Japanese Army would always underfeed its soldiers. And as the war progresses, when the logistical supply is insufficient, the treatment of soldiers will be worse.

Although this can cultivate a bit of wolf nature, when the Japanese soldiers saw the treatment of the Chinese soldiers, they completely had a tendency to turn into wolves, and their eyes were red and green.

At that time, they had not had much contact with extravagant American GIs, but the treatment of Chinese soldiers was only slightly inferior to that of American GIs. In the eyes of many Japanese soldiers from poor families, this is already their lifelong goal.

If it weren't for the extraordinarily harsh way the Chinese dealt with their captives, many of them might have raised their hands and surrendered.

And some recruits did have many examples of surrender when they encountered the Chinese army. They don't have a criminal record of wreaking havoc on the land of China, they are relatively better, and once they can't escape, surrendering is not too difficult.

Some of the Japanese soldiers who were hot-eyed also began to stir up emotions, asking their superiors to improve their conditions, and even caused a riot. This is rare in the Japanese army, which is strict and emphasizes total obedience.

The main reason is that the difference between the past and the present is too great, so that many Japanese people can't get used to it, and the Chinese soldiers who were looked down on by them before are the first to enjoy it.

So the name of the Huaxia Young Master Soldier spread first.

Many Japanese also subconsciously attributed their defeat in Huaxia to the good luck of Huaxia, and with the support of big forces such as copycat companies, they won the victory with sophisticated weapons and other foreign objects. They still clamored that the Japanese army was spiritually invincible, and that the quality of the Japanese soldiers was stronger than that of the Chinese army. Over time, many of them also thought that the Chinese soldiers were like those puppet soldiers in the past, and they could not endure hardship.

They seemed to have forgotten that so many Chinese soldiers had just come out of the hard old days.

The Japanese also got a complete list of vacations from the spies in the Chinese army, thus confirming that the Chinese army was going on vacation during the Spring Festival, and even if there was a large army on duty, it was only to defend against the attack of the Japanese army.

As a result, the Japanese base camp secretly dispatched 200,000 elite troops from the Indochina Peninsula, and even in order to cover up such a large-scale transfer, they also transferred 100,000 recruits, and the remaining vacancies were to use 200,000 indigenous puppet troops from various places to enrich the defense lines.

But no matter how stealthy the operation is, it still can't escape the eyes of the clone spies.

"The Japanese have transferred most of the elite, and a huge part of the remaining army is not capable of fighting strength, this is an opportunity for us!" Meng Xiang immediately summoned those giants to discuss.

"I see it's the Spring Festival!" Even Fan Chong was a little worried.

"We celebrate the New Year, but the enemy will not necessarily celebrate the New Year. The carelessness of our holiday may well be the best time for the enemy to attack. A professional soldier should be vigilant at all times. Think of it as a walkthrough! Meng Xiang said absolutely.

"Attack!" On February 5, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Xiang gave an order, and the 1 million southern troops who had taken leave in advance acted together in three ways.
