Both sides are searching for the main force of each other's fleets and conducting occasional bombings. However, after several rounds of competition, except for the fact that three aircraft carriers of the European and American alliance navies were damaged, there has been no major achievement because the fleets of both sides have not yet When engaging in large-scale contact, they all hide in the rear. Naval battles are not the goal pursued by both sides. Seizing important land targets is the intention of both sides. No one wants to lose complete control of the sea when the land war does not achieve a critical victory. Therefore, naval battles are It was carried out relatively conservatively, with the main purpose of preserving strength, and did not dare to make plans that were too big or risky.
The severe cold of late winter caused the Siberian cold current to sweep southward over the vast Atlantic Ocean. The entire ocean surface became extremely cold, and the war seemed to become more cold and ruthless like the cold air. Except for the fact that no large-scale battle broke out at sea In addition, the land war entered a brutal confrontation. Both sides successively paid five million casualties and failed to determine the winner on several major battlefields.
But as far as the army is concerned, with the passage of time, the total number of Chinese and Turkish armies has expanded to 15 million. The total number of armies of Germany, Britain, France, Russia and other Allied countries has reached this value. The United States It even pushed the total number of troops to 10 million.
The United States has the same population as China and has the greatest military potential. Coupled with Russia, which has a population of nearly 200 million, China and Turkey are facing increasing pressure.
Although the Allied Army lags behind the Allied Army in many aspects such as armored forces, night combat equipment, aerial reconnaissance capabilities, air combat capabilities, and helicopter attack capabilities, time has allowed them to obtain more soldiers and add them to the front line. The total strength of the European and American Alliance is increasing, and finally it is close to 30 million people, nearly twice the size of the alliance's first army.
The numerical advantage has caused some changes in the situation on the four battlefields, except for the Spanish and Portuguese battlefields where the Chinese and Turkish troops have focused their efforts. In the other three battlefields, the European and American allies have gradually begun to gain a certain degree of initiative. Especially in the U.S-Mexico battlefield, the strength comparison between the two sides has become 7 million versus 3 million, of which 5 million US troops and 2 million coalition forces. The battlefields of Central America created tremendous oppression.
On the battlefields of Russia and Southeast Europe, the two sides were in a balanced situation. The offensive of the Chinese and Turkish troops encountered strong resistance in Austria and Hungary. The comparison of the strength of the two sides also reached 10 million versus 16 million. The Chinese and Turkish troops The coalition forces have six million fewer troops, but their firepower is not weaker than the opponent's.
The Russian army has invested five million troops and is engaged in a fierce battle with the three million troops of the Chinese-Turkish coalition and the Allied Powers. The two sides still haven't made much achievements. On the Siberian side, the Chinese troops advanced 300 kilometers into Russia. This put a lot of pressure on Russia, forcing the Russian army that invaded Kazakhstan to retreat to Russian territory to prevent the Chinese corps from further attacking Russian European territory. In the push-and-pull competition, the two sides gradually gradually It is back to where it started before the war, but Russia has lost millions of square kilometers of eastern territory and occupied Croatia and northern Azerbaijan.
The fighting between the two sides on the Spanish battlefield stopped for a while. Because no one has the ability to break through the opponent's defense line in a short time, the attacker has to pay a lot of money to gain a little bit of territory, so the offensive power of both sides is not strong, and only five million troops are concentrated here. It is the part with the least investment in the four major battlefields.
In the winter of 1938, the severe cold throughout the winter made the battles on major battlefields less intense than in the summer. The soldiers hiding in air raid shelters and trenches to avoid the cold no longer had such high fighting passion. Armored vehicles and other weapons and equipment were damaged by the weather. The reason was greatly affected, and the snow on the road also made marching very difficult, and both sides entered a state of semi-rest.
However, on the U.S-Mexico battlefield, the Alliance Army continues to increase its troops because they feel that if they do not capture Mexico, Ecuador, Panama and other countries before the beginning of spring. The overall situation of the entire war will be greatly affected.
Domestic mobilization in the United States is still in full swing, and the number of Allied troops was increased to 10 million by the end of January. The huge comparison of forces was like a mountain bearing down on the top of the mountain, making the alliance's army feel short of breath.
Early February. The heavy snow had just begun to settle, and the Siberian cold wave had just subsided from its strongest momentum. Five million American troops blew the charge horn, and the five million troops behind them also rushed down like a torrent of steel under the cover of armored forces and air forces. The Alliance* A large hole was suddenly torn open in the middle of the Japanese army. About two hundred kilometers in the direction, it was torn apart by the Allied military forces. Two million American troops rushed into the hinterland of Mexico.
Soon the whole of Mexico fell, and two million Confederate troops were divided and surrounded, and almost all the army was wiped out. Two hundred thousand of them retreated from the south to Panama, preparing to rely on Panama's mountains and rivers to continue resisting for a while. For a while, the huge pressure from the 10 million-strong army meant that it was only a matter of time before Zhen Zhen lost Central America.
Li Tiancheng estimates that the two sides will fight for the Panama CanalThe fighting will end around March. The situation in Central America is over and there is no room for resistance. After gaining Panama, the US military will quickly move the battlefield and send its troops to Cuba. Countries such as Cuba and Haiti will only be lost in a matter of days. Maritime warfare will become the main mode of combat subsequently.
Under the pressure of the war situation in Central America, as February passed and the snow on the roads gradually melted, Li Tiancheng ordered the 10 million Chinese-Turkish coalition forces in Austria and Hungary to immediately launch a large-scale attack. This time, more than 10,000 fighter planes would join in. During the battle, the number of Allied fighter planes reached an astonishing 15,000. Fighters from both sides flew around like locusts in the sky, frequently engaging in battles in the sky, and one after another crashed into the wilderness and cities of Austria and Hungary. , in the countryside.
On February 15, Li Tiancheng ordered a hundred divisions of Type 5,235 tanks to concentrate their efforts on advancing into the hinterland of Austria, and began the February battle plan, trying to break through central Austria and enter the hinterland of Europe in one fell swoop.
However, the five million troops of the Allied Powers quickly mobilized to this area and adopted layers of defenses. Finally, they blocked the one million elite troops from the central part of Austria, and then the war entered a tug-of-war stage again.
In March, the European and American alliance summit made a major decision. That is to transfer 8 million of the 10 million troops in Central America to the European theater, and most of them were transferred to the border areas between Russia, Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. In this way, the alliance in this region The ** team will reach a staggering 10 million. It once again put great pressure on the two million Chinese-Turkish coalition forces.
During the period when the American troops were moving to Europe, the navies of the European and American Allied countries were still huddled in the northern part of the Atlantic and did not take the initiative to fight. The troops protecting the American battlefield crossed the northern part of the Atlantic from the United States and Canada and entered Germany, Sweden and other countries. , and then entered Russia eastward and arrived at the forward battlefield. This process lasted for a total of three months, and the alliance's first team was basically in place.
During the same period, the Midway Alliance's army only increased by one million. Reaching three million, the number is still less than one-third of that of the Alliance. The manpower investment of both countries has almost reached its limit. The country no longer has the financial resources to support larger military expenditures, and even some people have no money to invest in purchasing military equipment.
After June 1938, Li Tiancheng felt tremendous pressure because the European and American alliance had previously given up its plan to quickly seize Central America and open the Panama Canal, and instead moved to Europe. This major change made him feel a little unprepared.
The offensive in the southeastern European battlefield had to come to a standstill. Because once Turkey is breached, the troops at the front will lose their backup support and will be unable to continue fighting. Therefore, defending Turkey's northern territory has become the new most important strategic focus of the Chinese-Turkish coalition.
After a series of consultations between Li Tiancheng and Helmai. It was decided to transfer two million troops from Southeast Europe to Azerbaijan and Georgia to relieve the huge pressure in this direction.
In mid-June, the Alliance Navy began to launch a rapid offensive, slowly advancing the front to central Georgia. Then all 1,500 warships of the Alliance Navy were dispatched to the southern Atlantic area, looking for the Chinese-Turkish coalition forces. The main force of the navy fought, trying to eliminate the main force of the Allied navy in one fell swoop. Control Central America.
?Twenty-five hundred warships, including nearly 80 aircraft carriers. A mutual pursuit battle began in the Atlantic area. Once the reconnaissance aircraft of both sides discovered the target. It will rely on nearby ships and aviation to bite the opponent hard.
In the vast sky above the Atlantic Ocean, it is not easy to find the target. Sometimes it requires a bit of luck. Whoever finds the opponent first will gain the initiative and have the opportunity to take a few bites of the opponent's main force.
Therefore, reconnaissance aircraft have become one of the most heavily invested arms by both sides. More than a thousand reconnaissance aircraft are dispatched by both sides every day. Dozens or even hundreds of reconnaissance aircraft are shot down by enemy aircraft every day. Some reconnaissance aircraft are shot down by enemy aircraft. After discovering the target, there is still a chance to report back, but some of them perished in the sea before they could send out the message. Only those pilots who were lucky were able to find the location of the enemy's main force, and they were able to escape safely.
In the following two months of great pursuit, the total number of warships sunk by both sides reached one thousand, three-fifths of which were warships of the European and American allies. A total of more than two thousand naval aircraft and five air force aircraft were lost. Thousands of frames.
By mid-August, the battle had gradually turned to the battle for sea and air supremacy in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. The remaining forty aircraft carriers of both sides were deployed, and about 1,500 warships were in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean east of Cuba. A battle of encirclement and suppression and counter-encirclement and suppression was carried out.
In a major battle, the Allied navy sank six Allied aircraft carriers, but then the other side did not bite back and lost five aircraft carriers. Both sidesThe battles in ?? gradually became more intense, and large-scale naval battles occurred frequently. Hundreds of warships opened fire on each other at every turn. By September, naval aviation was already in short supply. The number of aircraft and pilots in various countries dropped sharply, and they could not be replenished for a while. , the ensuing battle regressed from the era of aircraft carriers and aircraft to the era of large ships and cannons. Both sides began to attack the other's fleet with short-range artillery and torpedoes.
The two sides gradually changed from long-distance aircraft carrier-based aircraft battles to close-range hand-to-hand combat. The Allied Navy's carrier-based aircraft performance advantage gradually lost. After losing nearly a thousand battleships, both sides finally moved the battle line to the Caribbean. The Alliance Three hundred warships of the United States and one hundred and fifty warships of the Allied Powers had a final hand-to-hand battle here.
By this time, the aviation force in Central America had been almost completely wiped out. The pilots of all aircraft carriers in Zhengzhou declared that they were unsustainable, and the technical level of new pilots was low. Once on the battlefield, it is easy to be shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire. The combat effectiveness of the air force is getting weaker and weaker, and the same is true for the Allied countries. The air force's combat is almost ineffective.
The navy¡¯s final fight also gradually disappeared. In the end, the remaining 100 warships of the Allied Powers retreated into the Mediterranean, leaving Central America to the remaining 200 or so Allied warships. At this point, the naval battle between the two sides came to an end. Both sides lost a total of 2,000 warships, and their naval strength was lost. It is completely exhausted and no more large-scale naval battles will be possible in the short term.
At this time, the Panaba Canal was immediately captured by two million U.S. troops. The troop carriers that had passed through the Hawaiian Fleet retreated from the sea to Hawaii, and then continued to move to East Asia, because the remaining fifty warships of the Hawaiian Fleet were no longer enough. In order to resist the attack of the Allied Navy, Li Tiancheng had ordered the Zhen army to abandon Hawaii and Guam. Retreat to Taiwan and Japan.
The domestic turmoil in Japan has not yet subsided. Japan is now closed off and cannot receive foreign aid. Therefore, the Self-Defense Forces did not take the initiative to attack at all and have been passively defending. The Zhenjiang also had limited troops because it had to deal with the European and American alliances, and the situation in Japan fell into a stalemate.
But as the European and American alliance troops invaded the Pacific region, Hitler immediately announced that he would provide assistance to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. In order to help them resist the suppression of Zhentai, the Japanese region once again became the focus of people's attention, and the Self-Defense Forces gradually began to take action.
The shipbuilding capabilities of China and Turkey were only about two-thirds of those of the Allied Powers, so throughout the second half of 1938. The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Chinese-Turkish coalition. The European and American alliance has added more than 200 new warships, and the navy has expanded to more than 500 warships, including 15 aircraft carriers. However, the Allied Navy has only more than 200 warships and 10 aircraft carriers. , among which Zhenjiang has six remaining aircraft carriers and Turkey has four remaining aircraft carriers.
??Among them, all Tš¹rkiye¡¯s aircraft carriers have shrunk to the Mediterranean area. In order to ensure that the control of the sea in the Mediterranean was not lost, more than 100 warships of the Zhenyi Navy retreated to East Asia. Prepare for a siege by four hundred Confederate naval ships.
The European and American allies began to massively increase their troops to Kazakhstan in August, gradually expanding the number of troops in the region to five million. For the Allies' 1.8 million troops, this formed an absolute advantage.
¡°Furthermore, Hitler, Roosevelt and others moved their elites to this battlefield. Hitler¡¯s plan was to invade China¡¯s Xinjiang and Taiwan regions at the end of the year, and then attack the mainland of China, forcing China to withdraw its troops from the Eastern European battlefield and defend its homeland.
The huge pressure from Russia made China and Turkey feel that it was meaningless to continue the fighting in Austria and Hungary. China and Turkey decided to deploy 5 million troops to retreat to the northern front to resist the Allied attack of 15 million troops. .
The Allied Powers also gave up the fight for the Spanish battlefield and the Mediterranean, and transferred all their main naval forces to East Asia. Soon they occupied Hawaii, Guam, and Midway Island, and used these areas as bases to penetrate into East Asia.
As for the army, 20 million alliance troops are deployed in the border areas of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Siberia, and have begun to launch the most violent attacks on China and Turkey.
The fighting in southern Europe has almost ceased. Most of the troops on both sides have withdrawn from the hinterland of Europe, leaving only four million people in a confrontation.
Gradually, the number of troops invested by both sides on the central front has approached 30 million, including 20 million from the Alliance and about 10 million from the Allies.
Although China continues to replenish its troops, it has to defend the Allied Army's offensive from North Korea and Vietnam. It has to allocate part of its troops to the southeast and northeast regions to prevent further invasion by the Allied Powers.
In October, Hitler made wild promises to end the war in the spring of 1939, preparing to open up the passage between northern and southern China within half a year, and invade China from Xinjiang in the northwest, North Korea in the northeast, Vietnam and Guangxi in the south, and then invade China. Tianjin and Shanghai on the seaHe landed in Hainan, Guangzhou and other places, invaded mainland China, and forced Li Tiancheng to surrender.
At this time, about two hundred of the first batch of domestic J-12 fighters have been put into combat and have begun to be deployed in the Xinjiang region to prevent the invasion of the alliance army. Among the new fighters, the H-9 large bombers have begun to be fielded one after another. As for the Navy, the submarine The test of launch missiles has made breakthrough progress, ushering in new hope for Zhenzhen.
In mid-October, the Allied Powers assembled an army of 10 million and began to attack Siberia and Xinjiang. They advanced the front line thousands of kilometers, gradually annexed the entire Kazakhstan, and approached Xinjiang.
Winter was approaching again, and Hitler and Roosevelt had to step up their offensive. About 20,000 armored vehicles and 25,000 fighter planes participated in the battle. , organize the next layer of defense.
In East Asia, the Allied Marine Corps has landed in Tokyo Bay and Nagasaki, and has begun to support the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in their battles, providing weapons, equipment and funds to the Self-Defense Forces. The situation in Japan is critical, and the Zhenxiang has fallen into a great passivity. among.
In November, the Allied Forces captured Okinawa. In December, they invaded China's coastal areas from the East China Sea. In the same month, they landed in Vietnam. A force of 1.8 million troops moved north to attack the Sino-Vietnamese border area.
ps: Due to my lack of understanding of the history of the Republic of China, the initial setting of this book was a bit out of touch with the historical framework of the Republic of China itself. In addition, the golden finger was too wide and did not bring readers a historical story of the Republic of China that is closer to reality. For example, the book "Speculators of the Republic of China" is very well written. Most of the plots deviate too much from history, and the details of military wars are not well written, which results in a poor sense of historical immersion in this book, so I have to read it in the near future. I will end this book and write a new one. The subsequent plot will progress very quickly, so please forgive me.
The new book will return to the fantasy genre. You need to be fully prepared before writing. You can¡¯t make the same mistakes again.
The first fantasy novel I signed was written as science fiction at the beginning due to lack of experience, which resulted in a very low collection rate. Neither of these two books was well written, which is a shame.
When I start a new book, I will write according to the rules and do more preparation work. I want to write a pure fantasy novel. I hope that I can correct the shortcomings of the previous two books and make greater improvements. I hope everyone will continue to pay attention.
There are still a few chapters left in this book, which will be released one after another. Thank you to all the book friends who have continued to support, reward and vote. I would like to bow to express my gratitude.
