In 1944, apart from the Anglo-American Allied and German troops who were fighting each other on the Italian battlefield, the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force in the Volga River Basin of the Soviet Union had the most difficult time.
Because the Japanese army and the Soviet Union dispatched more than 1.5 million troops to the Far East. In the past two years, they suffered heavy losses when fighting the Soviet Union in the Volga River Basin. Most of the Japanese troops became cannon fodder for the German army.
The Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force, which originally had 1.5 million troops in the second half of 1942, continued to reduce its personnel without being replenished after two years of staggered offensive and defensive operations. By the end of 2004, the entire army There are more than 700,000 remnant soldiers left, and many of the survivors are disabled people, living a precarious life on the land of the Soviet Union. As the use value of these Japanese troops gradually disappears, Germany gives these Japanese troops The supply of material assistance and weapons supplies is also getting less and less. In the end, these Japanese soldiers became truly motherless children, living like beggars and homeless people.
"Shouichi Terauchi survived these two years in almost extreme pain. In 1937, he successfully launched the Far East War against the Soviet Union and invaded Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Far East and other places. His heroic spirit has long gone forever. The current Shouichi Terauchi looks to be more than ten years older than his actual age, but even if his hair has turned gray long ago, it is still difficult to alleviate the current embarrassing situation of the Japanese army.
Temple Shoichi spent his days in these difficult years. However, in early 1945, a top-secret telegram sent from the Japanese base camp made General Terauchi Juichi, who no longer knew what happiness was, seem excited. After seeing the long top-secret telegram, Terauchi Shouichi couldn't help but his hands trembled with excitement. His mouth actually started to tremble with excitement.
It turns out that due to the rapid rise of China in recent years and the independence and nation-building movements that have taken place in Africa, the Arab region, and Oceania, traditional powers such as the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan have faced changes in their peripheral strategic situations. Big changes. The attitude towards the current world war has also undergone profound changes.
Therefore, after two years of secret negotiations between Japan and Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, finally in early 1945, Japan and the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union reached a secret reconciliation agreement.
According to the secret agreement, Japan will cancel the state of hostility with the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other allied countries starting in 45 years. To this end, Japan is willing to give up all vested interests and territorial rights in the Southeast Asian archipelago, Indo-China Peninsula, India and other regions, and will Japan's current These occupied areas were taken over and managed by Britain, the United States and other countries. Japan is also willing to compensate these countries for part of their war losses. At the same time, the Japanese Soviet Far East Expeditionary Force was willing to join the ranks of the Soviet Red Army and deliver a fatal blow to the German Soviet front forces behind the German army.
Of course, the exchange condition is that these countries form a military alliance with each other to jointly defend against China¡¯s attacks on the Japanese mainland. At the same time, after defeating Germany, the Soviet Union was able to send troops to the Far East and Central Asia to wrest these territories occupied by China from China. At the same time, the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States and other countries must send troops to help the Japanese army regain control and occupation of the Korean Peninsula. Of course, even Japan, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, no matter how arrogant they are, do not dare to peek into China's core areas such as Northeast China, Outer Mongolia, and Taiwan.
In the more than two years since the summer of 1942, although Britain, the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union and other countries have suffered huge losses in the war, they have also been tempered and grown in the war, especially in the past two years. The country's military technology has developed rapidly, making the country's overall strength appear to be increasing.
Japan currently has a total force of more than 800,000 troops in the Philippines and Indonesian archipelago, more than 200,000 troops in Australia, 200,000 troops in Indochina, nearly 100,000 troops in the Indian Peninsula, and more than 700,000 troops in the Volga Valley of the Soviet Union. The total number of these overseas troops is 2.1 million.
Coupled with Japan¡¯s massive military recruitment in the past two years, Japan¡¯s current total military strength has exceeded two million. The military strength became unprecedentedly strong again.
Especially after Japan reached a secret reconciliation and alliance agreement with the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union in early 1945, some people in the Japanese military and cabinet began to become ready to take action.
Because in the past two years, Japan has obtained a large amount of strategic materials such as steel from the United States and other places through secret channels. At the same time, it has also plundered massive material wealth in Southeast Asia and other regions. In addition, Japan has made rapid progress in military technology in the past two years. , making these militarists believe that Japan already has the capital to give it a go and break the deadlock.
The United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries also hope that Japan will take action in the Far East Pacific region to break the current stalemate in the world. Because the allies such as the United Kingdom and the United States saw that China and Germany were able to maintain a situation of non-infringement in the Volga River Basin in Central Asia for more than two years, they knew that China and Germany must have reached a tacit political understanding. At least they won¡¯t start a war with each other.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It???????it can , , ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ne an Interest ??? Expectations of China and Germany from colliding with each other to gain minimal expectations are minimal,???
What prompted the United States to finally make up its mind to completely change its allies and enemies was a shocking event that happened in October 1944.
At nine-thirty in the morning on November 15, 1944, on this ordinary day, 30 kilometers west of Knoxville, Tennessee, there was a place called Oak Ridge without any markings on the map. Thousands of America's most skilled technical workers and cutting-edge nuclear weapons and related scientists and technicians entered their respective workplaces one after another. Everyone started a busy day of work as usual, the nuclear part of the Manhattan Project. The uranium isotope separation plant base and a large number of other related experimental bases are located here. Here, quite a few nuclear technology experts and elites in the United States are concentrated.
The security work in the Oak Ridge area is far tighter than people can imagine. Therefore, these staff have never had to worry about their safety.
Mike is an equipment maintenance worker at the uranium isotope separation plant. Starting in 43, he passed an extremely strict identity review before being hired as a formal employee by the Pentagon. He is in his thirties this year. Because of his technical proficiency and rigorous work style, He received unanimous praise from everyone and was promoted to graphite reactor equipment maintenance supervisor this summer.
Today, as usual, he passed strict inspections at all levels according to the work process. After arranging daily work for the six maintenance personnel in his team in the core area of ??the factory, he took the maintenance equipment and entered the graphite reactor to start his daily routine. device of.
John is different from Mike. He is an engineering technician. From the beginning of the factory construction, he passed through layers of selection and became a factory construction engineer. Today he came to the engineering site as always.
Whether it is John or Mike, what no one can imagine is that they are all agents of the German national security agency. There are three more people like John and Mike. They have been lurking in the United States for a long time through various channels in the past few years. They finally went through layers of reviews and entered the most closely guarded institutions in the United States to work. These people, They didn't know each other's existence. A few days ago, they each received special instructions to hand over some of the highly simulated base entry and exit certificates they had made using their work and secret service skills over the years to the contact personnel. These entry files were all selected based on their long-term observation of the characters most likely to act as infiltrators.
Both Mike and John knew that their organization was going to attack the base, which made them a little excited, but also a little nervous. Because it is very difficult for people in the organization to choose suitable targets, kill them last night, and then use the human skin masks they have made long ago to impersonate these people and sneak into the base with special weapons and bombs. Difficult, it is simply wishful thinking, but the two of them know better that if the United States successfully develops the most important part of the secret weapon that the factory is currently stepping up to manufacture, it will bring great disaster to their country. Therefore, in They believe that no matter how big the sacrifice is for themselves and the people in the organization, it is still worth it.
When they entered the base factory today, they were carrying the country's latest invention of liquid bombs that others could not detect.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Mike and John each walked to the predetermined location, because their task today was to place these liquid bombs in a special location and detonate them at ten-thirty, because they knew other people in the organization today They were doing the same thing for a while, and by ten-ten, Mike had already placed the bomb at a key location. Mike knew that in just five minutes, he could activate the liquid bomb detonator and then find his way outside. , fifteen minutes later, the bomb will explode automatically. At that time, no matter whether you can get out or not, you will have completed a feat for the country.
But just when Mike felt that success was already in front of him, suddenly, the alarm bell rang very suddenly in the graphite reactor factory. Immediately, a large number of security personnel began to emerge from the passage. Mike immediately knew that the organization's secret operation plan After being discovered, Mike didn't even think about the specific reason for the failure, and immediately prepared to activate the mixing button, because Mike knew that once the mixing button was activated, this kind of bomb could not be stopped, even if they destroyed the bomb within ten minutes. Moving it outside can also create some chaos in the United States and increase the chances of success for others in the organization.
However, just when Mike was about to activate the button, a bullet from a guard on the opposite side hit Mike's right chest. The huge energy of the bullet caused Mike to hit the equipment behind him. Then Mike fell to the ground, feeling disappointed. I thought to myself, I'm sorry for my motherland, but I couldn't complete the task.
