    The Chinese army "entered" India, and India's most important industrial, cultural, and educational centers fell into the hands of the Japanese With the usual temperament of the British, they should attack these two "enemies" at the same time  of.  But this time, Churchill's short, fat man with a bad temper rarely chose to remain silent. Although they finally "driven" Sichuan Army Pan Wenhua and others out of New Delhi through diplomatic intervention, they still changed their usual arrogance and not only attacked the Sichuan Army.  They were treated equally and were given considerable comfort It is said that the cost was not small.  And what about the Sichuan Army?  After receiving compensation, there was no fuss with the British.  Because although they were driven out of New Delhi, they were able to be stationed near Old Delhi.  Obviously, the British are still very "sincere".  And the most important thing besides that is that they don't have to fight the Japanese directly for the time being.  Because after occupying Calcutta and parts of its surrounding areas, Sakagaki Seishiro stopped advancing, took a rest, and prepared to digest Calcutta and its surrounding occupied areas.  Although the British were extremely nervous and anxious about this, they had no way to launch a counterattack in a short period of time. They could only seize the time to reorganize their forces and leave it to the future.  It¡¯s just that Kolkata has various industries, and its status to India is almost the same as that of Northeast China and Shanghai to China.  The Japanese occupied that place, and if they digest it again, their strength will inevitably increase greatly The future situation on the Indian battlefield will definitely be more "hot"!  ¡°And the defeat in South Asia, coupled with the defeat in North Africa, and the German army began to turn westward on a large scale The anti-fascist situation around the world has become quite serious.  Roosevelt could no longer sit still and sent a telegram to Churchill and Chiang Kai-shek.  The three were asked to meet to discuss how to conduct a unified anti-fascist war on a global scale The meeting location was originally planned to be Cairo, Egypt.  However, considering that the German and Italian army's offensive was in full swing, the British and American coalition forces led by Montgomery might not be able to stop Rommel, so the meeting location was finally set in Tehran, Iran.  This means that the "Cairo Conference" that was supposed to happen is gone, and the participants of the "Tehran" Conference that was supposed to be held by Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union have become China, the United States, and the United Kingdom!  The Soviet Union was excludedand in fact, Roosevelt did not greet Stalin before the meeting.  This meeting was finally held in early summer of 1944.  Because China¡¯s performance was pretty good, this time Chiang Kai-shek did not become a mere supporting role.  Instead, considerable results have been achieved.  According to the agreement signed by the three countries, China can not only take back many territories originally ceded to Japan, such as Taiwan and Ryukyu, but also gain many rights in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia.  In other words, Britain and the United States exchanged France's original interests in Southeast Asia for China's support.  However, this is not the most important outcome of the Tehran Conference. Its most important outcome is to redefine the world-wide anti-fascist deploymentas proposed by Chiang Kai-shek.  And with the support of Roosevelt, Churchill gave up the strategy of "Europe first, Asia first" and instead supported "Asia first, Europe first"!  There are naturally reasons for reaching such an agreement.  On the battlefields around the world, only China has frequently achieved victory over fascism.  As China's opponent, the Japanese fired their bows from left to right, hitting the Americas on one side.  At the same time, Africa was drawn again, and now it has taken over one of the most important regions in India. It really annoyed Britain and the United States, and at the same time, it also made these two powers feel a huge threat.  So, support China.  It is tantamount to restraining the power of Japan's restless wolf.  Furthermore, the Soviets suffered several major defeats.  It was no longer possible to hold the Germans back, and as the Germans turned a large number of forces to the Western Front, in Europe and the North African continent, the German tanks were almost invincible. It was simply difficult for Britain and the United States to organize a counterattack in a short time, and they could only work hard to defend.  In this case, turning the main force to Asia and supporting China to attack Japan first and defeat or even destroy the Eastern pillar of the Axis Powers will not only help solve the embarrassing situation faced by Britain and the United States, but also help the anti-fascist movement around the world.  War situation.  Of course, the Chinese navy has eliminated more than half of Japan's Indian Ocean fleet, making the Indian Ocean routes relatively safe for the Allies, which is also one of the important reasons for the meeting to reach this agreement.  So, under such circumstances, Britain and the United States suddenly increased their support for China.  A large amount of supplies arrived in China, and what followed was a large-scale counterattack by the Chinese army against the Japanese army.  With sufficient money and food, and well-equipped soldiers and armor Chiang Kai-shek was in high spirits for a while, and he had the momentum to conquer the whole country in one fell swoop.  At the beginning of the war, it was indeed as he expected. The national army advanced layer by layer and achieved countless "brilliant" victories.  Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces were recovered one after another. Except for a few coastal provinces and cities, most of the country returned to the hands of the Chinese themselves.  But after that, the situation began to become stalemate.  The Japanese army, with its troops increasingly concentrated, tenaciously defended the coastal provinces, and the national army launched several large-scale attacks, all of which failed.??What progress has been made.  Not only that, because of previous victories, some troops underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. Instead, they were attacked head-on by the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses.  Faced with this situation, Lao Jiang was extremely annoyed. He gathered He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Qin Wei and others to discuss and fight a big battle to save himself and his face.  But what left Qin Wei and others speechless was that Chiang Kai-shek's goal in this war was actually to regain Nanjing.  Qin Wei and others are firmly opposed to this plan.  Although there is strong support from Britain and the United States, the Japanese are not vegetarian after all.  With the shrinking of military strength, a large number of Japanese troops have gathered in the Yangtze River Delta area. As Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China and the headquarters of Wang Jingwei's traitors, the Japanese's defense force is naturally quite strong. They forcefully attack and finally  Even if we capture that city, we will probably lose more than we gain.  Therefore, everyone suggested that Chiang Kai-shek change his plan and instead first recover Fujian, Northern Jiangsu, Southern Shandong and other places, first separate the Japanese troops in North China and South China, and then gradually eliminate them.  However, Chiang Kai-shek is not a person who likes to listen to advice, especially when he feels that victory is already in hand.  Therefore, with his strong promotion, the battle to regain Nanjing began as scheduled.  From the very beginning, the war fell into an extremely fierce situation. The Japanese army seemed to feel that it was at the end of the world and fought to the death; while the Chinese army, although it had the advantage in weapons, progressed very slowly and suffered very heavy losses.  Faced with this situation, Bai Chongxi proposed that Chiang Kai-shek use air superiority to send the airborne troops led by Wang Yaowu to raid Taiwan, and then cooperate with Dai Li's navy to carry out beaching operations to catch the Japanese by surprise, thus reducing Nanjing's resistance.  But Chiang Kai-shek once again rejected this suggestion and instead ordered the front line to strengthen the offensive.  But at this time, news came from the Northeast that the Eighth Route Army, with the cooperation of the underground party, successfully instigated the rebellion of the puppet Manchukuo Anguo Army in Changchun, and successfully captured Changchun with the cooperation of the insurgent troops.  The situation made Chiang Kai-shek even more anxious and he went to the front line to supervise the war.  Thanks to his "efforts", the Chinese army fought fiercely with the Japanese army for more than four months, and finally recaptured Nanjing at the cost of more than 100,000 casualties, and drove the main force of the Japanese army to the Songhu area.  The situation of the war finally officially became clear.  Everyone knows that the defeat of the Japanese in China has been decided, and what is left now is only a matter of time.  Both Britain and the United States were extremely happy about this. Churchill and Roosevelt both sent special envoys to China to express their congratulations and urged the Chinese government to make persistent efforts to drive the Japanese invaders out of China as soon as possible, and then use China as a base to launch attacks on the Japanese mainland.  .  However, the excitement between Britain and the United States did not last long. After a year-long struggle, Rommel, with Hitler's strong support, finally captured Egypt, drove the British forces out of Northeast Africa, and controlled  of the Suez Canal.  Although Suez had been blown up by the British themselves at this time, the war in Northeast Africa had ended, and Hitler finally began to direct his excess energy towards the British mainland.  But at this time, the top leaders of the European Allied Forces under Bradley were still quarreling.  In desperation, Roosevelt had to give up the future five-star general and pushed Eisenhower instead.  Eisenhower did not disappoint. Not long after taking office, he gradually healed the various relationships in the Allied Command that had been almost divided due to previous battles.  After that, he led everyone to plan "Operation Torch", and in early 1945, he successfully directed the Allied forces to invade French North Africa and occupy French Morocco and Algeria, allowing the Allied forces to gain a foothold in northwest Africa.  The anti-fascist war situation in Europe finally showed a glimmer of light.  But just when the Allied forces breathed a sigh of relief and were ready to make persistent efforts, a piece of news from the East once again made everyone feel depressed Australia surrendered to Japan!  The huge fleet led by Nagumo Chuichi was liberated and began to turn to other battlefields.  In addition, another piece of bad news came from the Soviet Union: The Japanese army in Siberia, with the support of the Germans, was reorganizing the Soviets who had surrendered and preparing to send them to the Asian battlefield.  According to reliable information, the total strength of this unit, named the "Russian Corps" by Nishio Hiszo, is close to 200,000 The Allies were all shocked.  Some people proposed that Britain and the United States directly send troops to the Chinese battlefield to help prevent the war situation from changing.  But Britain and the United States rejected this.  Because the pressure on the European battlefield is greater at this time.  Although the German Legion, whose main force has turned back, is temporarily unable to cross the English Channel, and due to the desperate obstruction of the British Royal Navy, it is temporarily unable to cross the Mediterranean and enter North Africa, but they just stay there, which is enough to deter all enemies.  How dare Churchill and Roosevelt split their forces at this time?
