Chapter 818: The Fear of the Japanese Army
Dong Ku's order was issued, and Sun Tao's army was launched. In Yushu, Yu Lei had already withdrawn, and there was not a single soldier there.
As soon as Sun Tao's army moved, the voice of Huaxia sounded.
…… The Japanese army, which had fled to the roof of the world, tried to evade the pursuit of our army and had entered India. The advance army will abide by the oath and will kill all the Japanese invaders who have set foot on the land of China by force, even if they escape to the edge of the sky, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of the advance army!
This news undoubtedly announced to the world that the Japanese army had taken refuge in the British colony, that is, the British army had opened a way and put down the Japanese army, which had been trapped in a dead place, on the plateau.
In this news, all countries immediately fried the pot, and speculated about the purpose of the British army, and how much it would conflict with the oath that the advance army had said before.
The advance army had said it before, and it had been said to the world that whoever helped the Japanese army was the enemy of the advance army. At this time, the British army put the Japanese army, which was already certain to die, into the colony, does not this mean that the British army is helping the sworn enemy of the advance army? As a result, all countries wondered if the advance party would use this way to tell the world that they were ready to declare war on Britain.
Dong Ku also heard the news in the United States, and he was very puzzled, not understanding how the family could make such a move.
He pondered, preparing to ask No. 5 to ask Liu Yucheng what this meant. The reason why I asked Liu Luocheng is because except for him, no one in the Voice of China has the right to order the broadcast of these sensitive issues to the world, others need to broadcast, and the Voice of China will also ask Dong Ku, and the only one who does not need to ask for instructions is Liu Luocheng.
Before he could give the order, another announcement came over the radio on the five, and it was in English, with a Chinese translation at the back.
The content is: The Japanese army attacked the Indian border without declaring war, causing tens of thousands of soldiers to suffer heavy losses when they were caught off guard. The defensive line was breached, and Britain strongly condemned Japan's aggression and demanded that Japan give a reasonable explanation within five hours and stop all aggressive military operations, otherwise, war would be declared on Japan!
Hear this broadcast. Dong Ku instantly understood what Liu Defeat City meant. No matter what the Japanese army and the British army were doing, the advance army said this, although Britain was not afraid of the advance army, or said that it did not care about the advance army, but it always had to care about its own reputation, that is, the Japanese army entered the country. If it was not intentionally put in, it was the Japanese army that had invaded India, and for them, it was absolutely impossible not to stand up and declare. Otherwise, he either acquiesced in collusion with the Japanese army, or he was weak and incompetent, and he didn't know what to say when he was knocked on the door.
Once you stand up and speak, there are two results, one is to admit to assisting the Japanese army, and the other is to declare war with the Japanese army.
Obviously, the second result will not attract two enemies, as long as the Japanese troops who have entered the hinterland are safely packed. Otherwise, they will face the wrath of the advance army. It's the same as fighting two enemies.
This is the calculation of Liu Defeated City. And Britain reacted quickly, making the response that Liu Defeat needed. As for whether to declare war or not, it doesn't matter anymore, what he wants is for the British army to admit that the Japanese army has entered India.
When the countries heard the British broadcast, they understood that the Japanese army was jumping over the wall in a hurry, and now the Japanese army is not making any response, that is, aggression. It was a declaration of war on the British army, and the British army would naturally return it.
As a result, the eyes of the world world shifted from the hotly fought Soviet-Finnish battlefield to India, to see how Britain and Japan would clash, and how the advance army would move.
The broadcast in the UK has been over for less than twenty minutes. China's domestic radio is ringing again.
The Voice of China broadcasts again, to the domestic broadcast.
Compatriots, the Japanese invaders shamelessly trampled on the land of China with iron hooves, killed our innocent soldiers and civilians, and caused tens of thousands of our people to die under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, and their hands were stained with the blood of our Chinese. The advance army is the Chinese who have the blood of Yan Huang flowing in the veins, the sons and daughters of China who are not bullied by the foreign powers, vowing to kill these evil people who have set foot on the land of China by force, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, the advance army will not break their oath and will be chased to the edge of the sky. For this reason, we have embarked on a journey, compatriots, let us unite and kill all the Japanese invaders!
This broadcast once again set off a frenzy throughout the country, and the advance army turned the tide and acted as the main force in the battle to expel the Japanese invaders.
As a result, the major cities began to march, shouting for support for the elimination of the Japanese invaders. Those who have money also donate generously, donating money and materials, and the young and strong students are even more organized by people with hearts to find the route of the advance army, and they must personally participate in the team, and do their best for the shame of a snow country.
Soon the advance army had arrived in Baotou, and the route of march was to go straight to Dezhou via Tianjin, go to Xuzhou, take Gaoyou, pass through Yangzhou, pass through Shanghai, go straight to Liangguang, and go out from Yunnan to pursue and kill the Japanese invaders.
This route is not secret, and it was deliberately released by the advance army, so naturally it is not afraid of people knowing, as for the students and young men waiting along the way, of course, they also did not refuse to come, and accepted them all.
This route was also known to the Japanese and soon turned to Hideki Tojo, who had just prepared for an attack on Grlenburg.
Hideki Tojo received the same telegram as the local people's reaction, and they were all taken aback. If the advance army really entered from Yunnan, I am afraid that the British army would really get out of the way and let the advance army hit their position before the fleet arrived.
For two months, the advance army, which did not have to fight but was just marching, would definitely be able to easily reach their position. At that time, their situation was dire. And Hideki Tojo would never be lucky to think that the British would not let the advance army enter the country, which is difficult to say.
The Japanese base camp also believed that the entry of the advance army would be supported by the British army, after all, the British army reduced the losses of hundreds of thousands of troops and passed on the losses to the advance army, which was a good policy.
After urgent consultations, Hideki Tojo and others believed that since the prelude to the war had begun, there was no need to scruple to gain a firm foothold in India and fight a decisive battle with the advance army here. The premise is that there must be troops to meet the incoming advance army, and the advance force must be slowed down, so that the army inside has time to integrate resources and accumulate strength.
In addition, it was difficult for the large army in the area where they were located to deploy, and the rivers everywhere were inconvenient to fight, so it was extremely difficult to block them.
As a result, Okamura Ninji's army, which had been moving closer to Tojo Hideki, stopped its advance and began preparations to cross the river, and directly attacked Burma along the area with many rivers. There are many mountainous areas and dense jungles, which are the most suitable for blocking attacks.
Hideki Tojo did not expect Okamura's army to reach Burma before the advance army, and the battles along the way would prevent them from moving too fast. Although the advance army was a long way, it was obviously much faster than on this side.
But this is the only plan that can make some troops wait for the fleet, and if they are not blocked, let the advance commander drive in, then they will not be able to leave.
In this regard, the Japanese soldiers were divided into two routes, and they had already carried out anyway, while the British army had not yet seen the reaction. Quickly occupy some industrial cities, build up your strength, and seize the mountainous areas of Burma in advance to block the advance of the advance army.
Of course, the actions of the Japanese army could not hide the defeat of Liu, and his series of actions were intended for this effect. He was very calculating, and of course he knew that Britain would not agree to the entry of the army. As the saying goes, it's easy to ask God and it's hard to send God, and the British are not in vain. Silly.
Before noon, the Japanese army's movements had already begun. The army marched all the way to Burma, but apparently not too fast. Because they were in a country where there were many rivers to pursue, it was extremely difficult to travel.
The Japanese changed direction, and the British learned about it as well. However, the Japanese army still could not contact that unit, could not confirm the British accusations, and could not give the British an explanation, which made the British army extremely angry.
Churchill then ordered no more tai chi with the Japanese negotiators, and the world radio rang out, and the British declared war on Japan.
Battleships, one by one, sailed to the Strait of Malacca, and the shore guns also blocked Malacca, and at the same time, mines were also dropped, leaving only a route that the shore guns could control, providing passage for the passage of merchant ships.
In view of Japan's actions and the request for help from Britain, the United States stopped supplying supplies to the Japanese army at the same time that Britain declared war against Japan. Pearl Harbor was even more crowded with warships, preventing the Japanese from attacking Malacca, which would involve their interests in Luzon and Sumatra.
The Japanese army was equally cautious about the British declaration of war, and Taiwan entered and prepared for war. The Mainland, too, was prepared to meet the wrath of the British army, and did not take the British declaration of war into account. Because, the Indian troops there have proven that the British army is vulnerable.
But soon, the United States notified Japan and stopped all supplies. Japan began to panic when it learned that the United States had actually suspended the supply of oil and supplies.
Their oil reserves will not last even half a year, and once they run out of fuel, their warships and their planes will become scrap metal. And they, naturally, became toothless tigers and were slaughtered by others.
Panic spread quickly, and the Japanese soon realized their mistake. They don't have enough resources to support the war, China doesn't have oil yet, otherwise, how can they have enough oil reserves in recent years.
Even if the exploration drilling is more than 800 meters, no oil has been found. Therefore, for the failure of China's attack, Japan's Haizhen did not reach the point where it could not afford it. After all, there is no oil there that they are most lacking.
Of course, the shallowest oil layer in the Daqing Oilfield is more than 1,000 meters, but they just haven't drilled it, just less than 200 meters, and the Daqing Oilfield is missing. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Dong Ku to start in Heilongjiang, where heavy troops were hoarded.
But these are in the past, and all the Japanese are thinking about now is how to survive the difficulties and find a supply line for oil.
Therefore, the Japanese army made a reasonable request to the British, saying that since they could not contact the troops there, they were not sure whether it was the Japanese army and which unit it belonged to, and hoped that the British could help transport personnel close to this force, and ordered the cessation of military operations to avoid an irreconcilable war with the British.
