Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Tiehan has no doubts about whether the troops heading south to Central America can take down the more than 10,000 Italian soldiers in San Jose. The current Italian soldiers are like frightened rabbits. They are in panic all day long.  If everyone is gone, what can more than 10,000 people do?

    What Liu Tiehan is worried about is whether the German army will secretly make some tricks to set up obstacles on the way south. After all, going south from Los Angeles has to pass through the west coast of Mexico and then enter the narrow corridor of Central America. That is the territory of the Germans. If this happens,  A conflict between the two sides, even the smallest conflict, will cause great obstacles to the troops moving south, and even affect the division's overall strategy.

    Chief of Staff Yang Ketian is obviously paying full attention to the situation of the troops going south. He has several telegrams every day with the commander of the troops going south and the commander of the 1st Brigade, Major General Zhao Yi. He is very familiar with the situation of the troops. When asked by the deputy division commander, he replied: "Deputy.  Division Commander, the current progress of the troops going south is very smooth. The German army has not set up obstacles along the way. At present, it has reached the Tegucigabal area. It is expected that it will take two days to launch an attack on the Italian troops in San Jose! "

    "That's good!" Liu Tiehan was relieved and said: "Send a telegram to Zhao Yi. The attack on the Italian troops in San Jose must be swift and violent. Try to knock them out with one blow, and it is best to induce them to surrender! Alas, there are more  What¡¯s the point of having more than 10,000 mouths to eat!¡±

    Liu Tiehan had regarded more than 10,000 Italian soldiers in San Jose, Central America, as prisoners for a long time, and he felt very uncomfortable with so many freeloaders. However, he would soon discover that  .  These more than 10,000 Italian prisoners were not just a burden.  Or gold ingot.

    Two days later, Major General Zhao Yi, commander of the 1st Brigade of the East Point and commander of the troops heading south.  Commanding the southward column consisting of four mechanized infantry brigades, two tank brigades, eight self-propelled artillery regiments and eight rocket launcher battalions, he approached the northern suburbs of San Jose. Before he could order the troops to deploy, he received a call from the frontline troop commander.  The caller said that it was General Iacozzi, the commander of the Italian Expeditionary Force in Asia, who had sent a representative to discuss surrender matters.

    Put down the telegram, Zhao Yi is such a spoiler. He commands more than 70,000 people, hundreds of tanks and hundreds of cannons.  He ran thousands of kilometers with murderous intent. He was originally going to fight and swallow more than 10,000 Italian soldiers. Who knew that his sword was already unsheathed, but his opponent gave up and surrendered.

    Damn it, if I had known this, why would I have come all the way here.  Frustrated, Zhao Yi had no choice but to withdraw his raised fist. Zhao Yi almost suffered internal injuries and kept scolding his coward opponent.  While arranging a meeting with the Italian surrender negotiators, the Italian Asian Expeditionary Force was completely wiped out.  Commander General Iacozzi and his more than 10,000 officers and soldiers walked into the prison camp.

    After receiving Zhao Yi¡¯s telegram.  Liu Tiehan was not excited at all, and the result was already expected.  He issued an order to Zhao Yi, "Quickly take over the defense of San Jose. You will temporarily serve as the commander of the East Point Central American troops and extend the troops' defense area to Panama City. Remember not to find any conflicts with the local German troops!  "

    Liu Tiehan¡¯s order to Zhao Yi was entirely in accordance with the wishes of the division commander Tang Qiuli. He also didn¡¯t understand why the division commander was interested in the palm-sized Panama City and sent a telegram specifically emphasizing that the troops must occupy the city?

    In accordance with Liu Tiehan's order, the troops under the command of the Eastern South deployed on the front line in Central America. In this way, the tens of thousands of troops plus the daily material consumption of more than 10,000 Italian prisoners of war had to be supplied overland from Los Angeles, forming a de facto  , a logistical supply line from the western United States to Panama City in Central America.

    Marshal Rommel, commander of the German South American Army Group, was always paying attention to the movements of the Independent Division troops on the North American continent, including during the war between the Independent Division troops and the Japanese and Italian armies. Generals stationed in the Dilera Mountains were observing written materials on the battlefield.  I have read it several times.

    Through these descriptions of officers who saw with their own eyes the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the independent division, the command level of the commander, and the level of equipment, Marshal Rommel changed his view of the Chinese ** troops. At the same time, out of military sensitivity, he had  The presence of the ** troops in the North American battlefield is a bit worrying. To be precise, it is uncomfortable.

    In particular, the Chinese Army went south to Central America and after completing the battle against the Italian army in the San Jose area, it delayed returning to the western United States, which aroused great resentment and suspicion. For this reason, he personally sent a letter to the head of state Hitler.  Send a secret message to explain your point of view.

    The core meaning is that since the war between the Chinese ** Corps and the Italian Army has ended, there is no need to continue to stay in Central America. Can I meet with the highest commander of the Chinese ** Corps in the North American continent to urge and remind me? Of course  Is there no shortage of warnings to make the Chinese withdraw their hands from Central America?

    After the telegram was sent, it took three days to receive the message from the Yuan Dynasty.??'s call back shows that domestic decision-makers are also very troubled and cautious about the presence of the Chinese army in the North American continent and even Central America.

    The content of the message is very simple and clear. "Please be aware of all incoming calls, maintain the status quo, strictly restrain the troops, and not cause any kind of friction with the Chinese Independent Division troops. Remember this, your main and only task at present is how to  Defeat the Americans and Canadians as soon as possible and end the North American War!"

    The telegram, which was less than a hundred words long, made Marshal Rommel think for a long time, analyzing and trying to figure out the true intentions of His Excellency the Head of State. It seemed a little sudden, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

    The strategic goal of the East Point troops to invade the North American continent and even control the front line of Central America has been achieved. Tang Qiuli transferred all his energy to the Southern Flying Group and the Northern Flying Group in the air battle against the Japanese mainland. This was an independent  Problems that must be solved before the division troops can carry out large-scale cross-sea operations.

    It has to be said that after the Japanese spent a lot of money to recruit more than a thousand experienced pilots from Europe, they arrived in Japan one after another and were enriched into the front-line aviation combat forces. These veterans who had been baptized in the air combat battlefields of World War I and World War II,  With their tricky tactics and rich combat experience, they caused great trouble and losses to Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin's troops.

    In the recent air battles, the loss ratio between the two major flying groups of the Independent Division's aviation force, the north and south, and the Japanese army's recruitment flying teams was basically one to one. Moreover, most of the air battles took place in the airspace outside the Japanese archipelago.  , although the fight was filled with smoke, it did not cause any damage to the Japanese mainland.

    After several air battles, Japan was impressed by these pilots recruited from Europe. Don't look at these blue-eyed, yellow-haired guys from Europe. They usually spend a lot of time, have no discipline, drink and lust, and have nothing to do with the mainland of the Japanese Empire.  The pilots of the Naval Air Force are unparalleled in their self-discipline, but once they fly into the air for combat, they can indeed achieve good results. At least, they will prevent the aviation forces of the China Independent Division from approaching the mainland.

    The European pilots recruited had good combat capabilities, which reassured everyone in Japan. At least they did not have to worry about the bombs from the Chinese plane falling from the sky that day and hitting them on the head. Emperor Hirohito and Emperor Hirohito, who knew how to use people well,  The top brass of the base camp have placed their hopes on them. Naturally, they know that a brave man must be rewarded with a heavy reward. They are afraid that the conditions offered now will not be able to win over these guys.

    To this end, Emperor Hirohito issued an edict stating, "Any pilot who shoots down a China Independent Division combat aircraft will receive a special bonus of two bounty bars while his original treatment remains unchanged. By analogy, any pilot who shoots down a China Independent Division combat aircraft will receive an extra two bounty bars."  The more you have, the more rewards you will receive, and the recruitment of pilots is not subject to the laws of the Japanese Empire!"

    In a word, you work hard to recruit pilots for the Japanese Empire and enjoy super-national treatment. Even if you kill people in the street, it will be fine. The police will not arrest you. Even if you knock down a Japanese woman in the street, you can be cool after the incident.  Leave and ensure that no one dares to accuse you. Even if you like her, she will be taken back immediately and become your woman.

    Emperor Hirohito also tried his best. Even though he bought weapons and equipment from Italy and emptied the national treasury, he still offered a high-priced reward, and it was a stiff gold bar. The national treasury did not have it, so it was easier to pick it from the mouths of the royal family members.  To collect from the people, I have to tighten my belt. My people have to donate their family wealth. If they are not willing to donate, the special police will come to the door immediately. The consequences will be much more serious than voluntary donation!

    As for women, it¡¯s even simpler. As long as you work hard for the Japanese Empire, Japanese women can be taken or taken away. Anyway, in the eyes of Emperor Hirohito, women are also an important part of war resources. Everything is done to prevent the Chinese from setting foot on them.  In order to achieve this goal in the empire itself, what else should we not give up?

    The dual stimulation of money and women, and the super-national treatment in Japan, make the recruited European pilots even more crazy. They feel that Japan is simply a paradise. They only need to fly combat aircraft into the sky every day and fight the Chinese.  After being able to survive, it is the ultimate enjoyment of living and drinking. This life is so damn comfortable!

    In repeated air battles, the independent division aviation did not take advantage, which made Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang quite depressed. In order to break the situation, the two used their own battlefield methods. On one occasion, Liu Cuigang ambushed 200 people in the middle line of the Sea of ??Japan.  The remaining armed fishing boats, each equipped with two anti-aircraft guns equipped with gun sight radars, then dispatched a mixed fleet to conduct air strikes on Fuji and Nagasaki on Japan's Honshu Island.

    Once the Japanese foreign fleet took off to fight, the mixed fleet immediately retreated, preparing to lure them into pursuit, and then set up an ambush with anti-aircraft guns. The fighter formations of the mixed fleet were trying to counterattack. At first, the plan was very smooth, and the Japanese foreign fleet also pursued, but  , at a distanceWhen they were still more than a hundred kilometers away from the ambush sea area, these guys were as slippery as loaches and turned back. No matter how they were lured, they did not pursue in-depth pursuit.
