Chapter 728 Three Heroes in the Army

"The main focus of the US military is not in Southeast Asia, and the troops stationed in the Far East are disheartened, have made tactical mistakes, and have missed many opportunities, and the defeat is certain!" Wang Xiu's teaching rod finally knocked directly to Corregido Island and completed his explanation.

The many staff officers who were watching from the side applauded together.

"Not bad!" Fan Chong, who was standing on the periphery, also clapped his hands lightly and said in approval. Although Wang Xiu was always hesitant and slow in action, he was a cautious and careful good staff officer, and the entire Philippine campaign was explained very thoroughly.

"I just got the news that the Americans on the Bataan Peninsula have also surrendered!" At this time, a young captain and staff officer shouted in surprise with a battle report.

Such a battle report will be transferred in the hands of the top level, and without any special approval, it will be directly sent to the general staff for the staff officers of the general staff to deduce in real time.

There were no major battles and strategic plans now, and the focus of the General Staff was on the main battlefields around the world at this time. With the accurate and timely transmission of intelligence by the vanguard army, the real-time deduction of this level of training can also be put in place in a timely manner.

Everyone was in a hurry, everyone had expected such a result, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly. According to the information obtained by the vanguard army, there are nearly 80,000 American and Filipino soldiers in the Bataan Peninsula area, all kinds of equipment, although there is less ammunition, but as long as it is flexibly deployed, it is absolutely no problem to hold out for another month. If it is a vanguard army, relying on these weapons, it will be no problem to hold out for half a year. But the Americans surrendered outright.

"MacArthur has already run away, and the Americans have long been ready to surrender." Bai Chongxi next to him sneered in a low voice.

Newcomers to the General Staff may only be able to think from a tactical point of view, but those at the top must start from the strategic side of political and economic analysis.

From the beginning, the Americans prepared two paths. If you can keep it, you can't retreat, or even surrender.

There was no way out, the loss at Pearl Harbor was too great, and the Japanese were advancing too fast to make it difficult for the Americans to retreat in peace.

As soon as the war broke out in the Pacific, the Americans' air supremacy was directly suppressed by the rampant Japanese Zero War and Super Zero aircraft, and it was not safe to even send transport planes.

Admiral Hart's U.S. Asian Fleet was also largely lost, and it was simply unable to compete with the Japanese Navy. Even MacArthur's evacuation could only be done through submarines sent by the U.S. military.

He was accompanied by Philippine President Manuel Quezon, as well as senior U.S. military and Philippine officials. In addition, it also carries a large amount of wealth such as gold, silver, foreign exchange, and important records.

But the capacity of these submarines was limited, and during this period, Tanya led people to rob a submarine transporting wealth from the way, leaving a large number of troops to stay, choosing to die in battle or surrender.

Of the more than 100,000 troops left behind, there are only about 10,000 US troops. Whether it is the Filipino soldiers who play soy sauce or the young masters of the US army, they have no consciousness to resist to the end. And Washington also planned the way for them to surrender from the beginning. As long as it is not a large number of dead people, they can stabilize the political turmoil in the country. can also take this opportunity to force the British Empire, which is unwilling to give up its past glory easily, directly to the palace with half push.

On January 21, General King's command post on the Bataan Peninsula was occupied by the Japanese, and General King ordered surrender, and 75,000 U.S. and Filipino troops gave up resistance, including 12,000 Americans. The Battle of Bataan ended.

After only half a month of resistance, Major General Wainwright IV, who was on the island of Corregido that was about to be captured by the Japanese army, also gave the order for all American and Philippine troops in the Philippines to surrender.

He and the other Americans thought that their surrender would preserve their strength and be taken care of like gentlemen. But no one knew that this was only the beginning of a nightmare, and that a half-lost death march awaited them, followed by a long period of hard labor in hell.

At this point, the Philippine campaign at the beginning of the Pacific War was completely over.

MacArthur was disgraced, and the Japanese commander Masaharu Honma became famous.

The Americans lost their colony in Asia, the Philippines, and so far the losses have exceeded the expectations of the Americans, but they have also achieved a certain goal strategically.

The British could not hold on, and on the basis of fair competition under the Atlantic Charter, there were more concessions.

India, the jewel in the crown of the empire on which the sun never sets, is in danger, and on the other hand, the Japanese army has taken control of the island of New Guinea and part of the Solomon Islands, and the spearhead has been directed at the Australian mainland.

While the British could give up many of their colonies in Southeast Asia, mainland Australia could not afford to lose.

At this time, although Australia had not yet sat on the minecart, the vast Australian continent could bring them a large number of cattle, sheep and wheat, and could provide a vast place for immigrants to live. Only by occupying the strategic position of the Australian continent can there be any hope of regaining control of Southeast Asia.

This land was knocked back even by the Americans, and in order to keep the focus, the British had to give up other interests and deal with the unceremonious beating of the Americans.

Even the cousin relationship between the British and the Americans is the same, and they cannot resist the cold erosion of money. Maximizing profits is the face of capital predators.

……

"Young man! Have I seen you anywhere before? "In the case that the base drugs have been produced to the post-World War II series, Jiang Baili, who is in good health, is also in a good mood. In addition to a few military academies where he often visited, the General Staff of the Vanguard Army was also a place where he often frequented. At this time, he was a little puzzled when he faced Yang Bo, who saluted him.

"Teacher, yesterday this young man deduced the Battle of the Ganges that began in early February between the Anglo-Indian forces and the Japanese army." Fan Chong explained to Jiang Baili with a smile. He didn't point out some words, Yang Bo used to sit in the Middle East for a long time, and at this time, with the stabilization of Aladdin's territory, he had time to go home for a vacation. But in order to prevent accidents, his identity is still in a semi-secret state.

"Good analysis!" Jiang Baili nodded approvingly. His praise is not polite, but really praises Yang Bo's deduction and analysis.

"Thank you, Principal Jiang, for your compliment!" Yang Bo didn't say much, for a long time in the Middle East environment, he has become like gold.

Jiang Baili nodded approvingly, and did not say anything more, at this time, Zhao Yi's coming to power had become the focus of everyone.

Zhao Yi, who had just returned from North Africa, had already turned into black charcoal, but his series of brilliant achievements in North Africa had covered his body with a halo.

At first he was only with the Vanguard Military Observer Corps, but later many of his ideas led him to become one of Rommel's main assistants. Thousands of years of war art in the East relied on the meticulous descriptions of the Germans to achieve a magnificent war picture in North Africa.

"This time it's not a real-time deduction, but a deduction description of the just-concluded Battle of Alexandria!" When Zhao Yi came to power, he didn't ramble and went straight to the topic.

Hurrying back, he still had the smell of Alexandria sea, and he had a part of the credit for conquering the city, and he explained the examples of the battle by following the whole process.

"After Britain received American aid, the number of aircraft in service doubled. The British-built production line in Canada could only serve as an embellishment due to a lack of materials and interference from French-controlled areas. Most of the production lines in the UK were destroyed, and most of the additional aircraft were produced using American factories.

Among them, the number of Hurricanes and other fighters has gradually decreased, while the number of Spitfires has skyrocketed. In the battle of Alexandria, the British dispatched more than 200 Spitfires alone, posing a great threat to the Luftwaffe.

The main force of the Luftwaffe this time is the G type of the BF-109 and the A type of FW-190, these two fighters are really good, but compared to the new modification of the British Spitfire, it is still a little worse. In addition, if it weren't for the H-type of more than 30 BF-109s that the copycat company urgently supported this time, Alexander's air battle might have been a different ending. Zhao Yi also lamented that the Luftwaffe in this air battle was only a small victory, and its own losses were also large.

After the war, he learned that many American pilots also participated in the battle, not only in the air, but also on the ground.

Although there is only one logistics regiment, the meaning is not the same.

But all this could not reverse the defeat of the British army, the Haw Par tank completely crushed the American Sherman, and after the Luftwaffe blockaded the harbor, 150,000 German-Italian troops attacked Alexandria. The heavy artillery of the Libyan sub-base was provided in a timely manner, and the Germans were willing to invest, directly crushing the British resistance with artillery fire.

The British obviously did not have the consciousness of the dedication of the Russians, and in desperation, they were chased all the way to Egypt in the gap deliberately left by the German army in the east.

"This guy is not bad either!" Jiang Baili looked at Zhao Yi, who was talking on the stage, and couldn't help nodding in approval.

"This Zhao Yi and the Yang Bo just now, and Wang Xiu, who is explaining the Anglo-German naval battle on the navy's side, are the three heroes rising in our army!" Fan Chong said with a smile, "There are a large number of good young men in our national defense army!" ”
