Chapter 978: Soft-footed Shrimp and Great White Shark
Patton fought bravely and analyzed the battle situation very well, but it was much worse than the German bull fork figures, he sat casually with a cigar, looked at the dark sky outside, and said:
"The destruction of the Japanese army relied on their powerful equipment, just like the German army fought in the early days of the blitzkrieg, and I personally felt that their land forces, no matter how strong, would not be able to withstand the Allied forces ten times larger than them;
Today's battle situation is about to begin, and it depends on the combat effectiveness of our Egyptian theater air force, if they win, then there will be no suspense, and our subsequent troops will not land from here, but will be able to turn to those military ports in the Middle East to land. ”
Eisenhower smiled faintly, what Patton could think of, many generals and marshals of the Allied forces could see, not to mention the top brass of the Japanese army as the other side of the war;
For the study of the destruction of the Japanese army, he also did in-depth research after the war between the Allies and the Japanese army in the Middle East, although the destruction of the Japanese army dragged the arrogant and murderous Japanese army, his main focus was on the European war and the North African battlefield, and regarded the destruction of the Japanese army as a powerful warlord;
After gradually deepening his research, he suddenly found that the mystery of the destruction of the Japanese army made people feel a little inexplicably frightened, in addition to the number of troops, there was also a small amount of equipment, and the allies did not know much about the internal situation of the Japanese army;
Just like the troops responsible for the operation of the Japanese army in the Middle East this time, they only know the number and the name of the commander, the Third Army Group, the commander Li Tieshan, this name is quite unfamiliar to them;
A Chinese lieutenant general, in their opinion, is a low-level national officer in a backward country. Now he is leading his army to fight against the Allied forces that are about to gather into tens of millions.
They worked hard to investigate, and even bribed some greedy Chinese people to enter the Japanese Autonomous Region at a high price, and finally found out that they felt extremely depressed;
Li Tieshan. used to be a small regiment commander of the Northeast Army, and after being forced to become a puppet army, he served as the commander of the puppet army of the First Army in Fengtian, and later surrendered to destroy the Japanese army, becoming the commander of the Third Army Corps and now the commander of the third army group;
He had never commanded a major war before, nor did he have any outstanding command ability, but such a seemingly ordinary Chinese officer now led his two legions to stop the Allied army in Egypt.
Eisenhower looked a little dazed. What does it mean to destroy the Japanese army? Why did you know that the Allies sent such an army to defend when they organized the decisive battle of Egypt? Why did you let more than two million main forces launch a full-scale attack on Soviet Russia before the decisive battle in Egypt?
These messy news confused this five-star general, who was quick in thinking and had a very clear view of the overall situation, and he could not accurately grasp the next move of the Japanese army if he did not understand this;
He was the Supreme Commander of the High Command. As long as the war began, more than 10 million people had to be under his command, this was the most elite unit of the Allied army, and the German army was defeated in Europe, and he did not want to lose as much as Marshal Alexander did for no reason.
"George. We need to be clear. The role of the armored cluster is a powerful assault force when the air supremacy does not fall into the hands of the opponent, once the air supremacy is lost, the movement and suddenness of the armored force will be gone, the number is less useless in such a battle, and the more will be lightly discovered and bombed by the other side;
Intelligence shows that the accuracy of the fire strikes of the Japanese army is very high, which is what we want to know and want to have but cannot get results, as long as they launch a counterattack. Then our losses will be very huge, and then the air force is about to launch the largest air battle and air raid in history;
60,000 fighters took to the air at the same time. We are ready to take half or more of the fighter losses to win this air battle, have you considered that with such a large battle loss, we can only destroy a tiny part of the Japanese air force at most?
The high-level demand to us is to defend the Middle East to the death, instead of asking us to fight back as we did in the past, alas, this is the final result of our negotiations, to exchange huge sacrifices for victory in one place, and to protect the interests in hand;
Destroying the Japanese army can now be described as the most powerful army in the world, it is just a warlord arm, thirteen years, thirteen years, thirteen, is this God's warning to us, the destruction of the Japanese army is the most evil and powerful armed force in the world. Eisenhower poured himself a cup of coffee and said in a muffled voice.
Eisenhower did not say that the top brass had a plan to stick to the homeland once it was defeated, not to mention the soldiers at the bottom, even these generals would have a fear of war.
The decision to destroy the Japanese army at the highest level of the Allied forces had reached a point where they could ignore them, and Eisenhower suddenly felt that the world had made a different feeling for him;
He had thought that the Allies would soon win World War II, but just as everyone was about to celebrate the end of the war, the Japanese army suddenly emerged as the most dangerous enemy.
The most important point is that the destruction of the Japanese army was provoked by the Allies on their own initiative, and as the war gradually expanded, they found that it was not a soft-footed shrimp that was provoked, but a great white shark.
The current situation seems to be that the Japanese army has set its sights on the neighboring Soviet Russia, and has not paid much attention to Egypt for the time being, but the Allies did not dare to underestimate the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops here, and all the troops that were fighting in Europe were transferred over, and there was only one purpose, to take the Middle East and end it.
Patton listened to Eisenhower's tone in a somewhat confused voice, which he did not understand that the army of more than 10 million had to fight with all its might against that little enemy;
Although the Allies had to fight against the Germans with a large army, they never said anything about attacking the enemy with more than 20 times the army, let alone the Chinese annihilation of the Japanese army, which he had never heard of before.
Patton's confusion is normal, a warlord who has only appeared for more than ten years, everyone pays little attention to the destruction of the Japanese army, except that after the destruction of the Japanese army drove Japan out of China and occupied the entire Far East, they began to pay attention to this big warlord who suddenly appeared in the East, but that is only a concern, but the in-depth investigation of the destruction of the Japanese army has never been;
Not to mention the allies, even the Japanese devils who have been fighting against the Japanese army are still confused, and the fierce firepower of the Japanese army can be explained by Xu Fei's wealth in Tsarist Russia, but no one can understand what is going on with those advanced equipment that keeps appearing.
The nationwide movement to destroy the Japanese army and defend against the enemy has always been carried out, and every common man's eyes are wide open, for fear that someone will destroy their current peaceful, happy and happy life. (To be continued......)
