After fierce fighting, most of the Japanese were wiped out except for a very small number of Japanese who escaped and their lives and deaths were unknown.
In this battle, Xu Rui's New Anti-Alliance Regiment and the Soviet Far East Front Army wiped out 100,000 elite Japanese troops, including the most elite First Division and Fourth Division, two first-class divisions, and the Eighteenth Division. There are three second-class divisions: the 47th Division and the 25th Division.
These five divisions are all the Far East Front, and even the most elite troops in the Japanese army. After this battle, the Japanese army's vitality was seriously damaged. The most important thing is that the Japanese army's morale and morale were greatly affected. Therefore, In a short period of time, the Japanese no longer had the strength and no longer dared to launch attacks on the Wujiashan base area and Primorye Krai. The New Anti-Alliance Regiment and the Soviet Far East Army finally took a breath.
However, due to limited forces, the New Anti-Japanese Regiment and the Soviet Far East Army were unable to launch a counterattack against the Japanese. As a result, the war became stalemate. Both sides of the battle maintained a delicate balance, and no one was willing to break this balance. .
At this moment, the international situation changed drastically.
After the Japanese invaded the Yankees' Pearl Harbor, the Pacific War officially broke out. Subsequently, the Japanese invaded Southeast Asia with great fanfare and captured Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. At the same time, they attacked Burma. The British army was helpless. He had no choice but to ask for help from China. Chairman Chiang sent 100,000 troops to Burma. However, the war did not go smoothly. The situation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was very bad, and the Japanese troops were advancing steadily.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Thailand directly joined the Japanese camp, and the entire Southeast Asia almost completely fell under the control of the Japanese.
As the Japanese took control of Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia's rich products, including steel, rubber, rice, sugar and other strategic material resources, continued to enter Japan, providing timely blood transfusions for Japan. Japan's economy, which was about to collapse, quickly improved, and its national strength increased a lot.
With the increase of national power, the Japanese army's advantage at sea has become more obvious. In the Pearl Harbor incident, the U.S. Pacific Fleet was almost completely wiped out. Different from the original history, in this historical space, several U.S. aircraft carriers did not exist. There was no escape from the poisonous hands. In the Pearl Harbor incident, except for the Hornet, all four large aircraft carriers in the United States were sunk by Japanese fighter planes. The U.S. Navy was severely damaged and could not stop the Japanese Navy from running rampant in the Pacific. , for a time, almost the entire Pacific Ocean fell under the control of the Japanese navy.
At this time, the United States finally got rid of the influence of domestic isolationism through the Pearl Harbor incident, declared war on Japan, and officially joined the Second World War.
Although the United States participated in the war, it was not fully prepared for the war. The U.S. military was pitifully small. President Roosevelt had to carry out a large-scale emergency military expansion. At this time, the United States was the world's number one power, with no country in the world in terms of economic and military strength. In contrast, because the United States has a large population, vast territory, and huge war potential, the Americans mobilized millions of troops in a short period of time.
At the same time, the U.S. military industry is in full swing. Workers are working overtime day and night to produce aircraft, cannons, tanks, battleships and other weapons. During this period, the situation faced by Americans was very serious.
Washington, White House.
President Roosevelt of the United States sat by the stove and gave a routine stove speech. President Roosevelt repeatedly emphasized that the United States was in crisis and that only when all citizens unite and deal with the outside world can it be possible to overcome the difficulties.
After finishing his speech, Roosevelt took a sip of water and said to his assistant: "Cole, the situation we are facing now is very serious. The troops we have recruited are in training, and the Japanese have accumulated a lot of experience after several years of fierce fighting with the Chinese. We have rich combat experience and strong combat effectiveness, but we must find a way to reverse the situation in a short time. I don’t want to hear any more bad news.”
Cole said: "Mr. President, we do not lack weapons. The weapons and ammunition accumulated in the U.S. arsenal are enough to last for several years. We have countless tanks, artillery and aircraft, but the problem now is that we are not skilled enough." Our pilots, artillery, infantry, and our soldiers are all new recruits, but the Japanese soldiers have been battle-hardened for a long time, and their individual combat effectiveness is much stronger than ours."
"Yes, I need more good soldiers and generals to lead the troops. However, it is difficult for me to find such candidates now. MacArthur is a good general, but he just experienced a big defeat in the Philippines. Will I'm a little depressed. I heard that there is a guy named Patton who is also a good fighter. Marshall has recommended it to me several times. I think I should entrust him with an important task to see if he has the ability to lead troops."
Cole said: "Yes, not only the soldiers, but also our generals have no actual combat experience. If a general with actual combat experience can lead our generals, it should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
"This is a good idea. We can borrow some good generals from other countries, such as Zhukov from the Soviet Union..." President Roosevelt said.
"Mr. President, the Soviet Union's Patriotic War is at a critical stage. Zhukov is commanding thousands of troops. Stalin will not lend him to us. And I heard that the reason Zhukov won the defense of Moscow was not because of him. The credit is due to a general named Xu Rui."
"You mean China's Xu Rui?" Roosevelt asked.
"Yes, he is this man. His ability to command troops is unparalleled. The world regards him as a monster. Since the beginning of the war, he has fought hundreds of battles without losing a single victory. He has eliminated dozens of Japanese marshals and generals, and made him a leader. The Japanese changed their minds after hearing the news, and even Japan's Emperor Hirohito was so frightened that he went insane."
"Well, I have heard of Xu Rui's name. If Xu Rui can be loaned to the United States to command the American army, we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese."
"Mr. President, this is impossible. Xu Rui is just a small regiment commander in China, that is, at the level of a colonel. How can he be allowed to command the million-strong American army?"
Roosevelt thought for a while and said: "There is no problem with the rank of colonel. As long as he has the ability, I can definitely promote him and make him a general. However, he is a Chinese, not an American. If he is allowed to command the United States, Regarding the military, firstly, American soldiers will not be convinced, causing a lot of inconvenience. Secondly, they may not put American interests first. He is Chinese, and I heard that he is a nationalist. He will always put China's interests into consideration when solving problems. The problem is, this is not good for us in the United States, so we really can’t let him be the commander-in-chief of the American army. It’s a pity, it’s a pity.”
Cole said: "Mr. President, although Xu Rui cannot be the commander-in-chief of the American army, we can let him help our army. Firstly, he can make suggestions. Secondly, I heard that he has a strong army. We can also use this He used this force to his own advantage and helped us defeat the Japanese."
"This is a good idea. We can borrow Xu Rui and his troops to help us win this Pacific War." Roosevelt said.
"Mr. President, it is difficult to let Xu Rui join the Pacific War because he does not belong to the Communist Party's army and is not directly affiliated with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Nationalist Government. If you really want to borrow Xu Rui, I have a way."
"What can be done?" Roosevelt asked.
"The Chinese Expeditionary Force suffered a disastrous defeat in Myanmar recently. However, in Ramgarh, India, China has formed two new powerful units, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army. These two armies also have strong combat effectiveness. We can retreat. Secondly, by lending the New First Army and the New Sixth Army to the Pacific battlefield, as a reward, we can give the Nationalist Government more weapons and equipment. Of course, we can also say that we welcome all combat-effective troops in China to participate in the Pacific. During the war, we will also provide weapons and material assistance to the party that sends troops. We must find a way to eliminate this and reveal it to China's Yan'an side. I think Yan'an side must take some action."
"At that time, Yan'an will definitely contact us and ask to join the Pacific War. At this time, we will promptly propose that Xu Rui can lead the troops to participate in the Pacific War." Cole continued.
"This is indeed a good way to let Xu Rui come to the Pacific battlefield without making any noise." Roosevelt said with a smile.
"The only thing I'm afraid of now is the opposition of China's Chairman Chiang Kai-shek," Cole said.
Roosevelt said: "In this way, we control the CCP's troops entering the Pacific Theater to the size of one regiment, while the Nationalist Government's troops are controlled to the size of one corps. In this way, Chairman Chiang still receives the majority of the military aid. He There’s nothing left to say.”
"Okay, Mr. President, that's perfect," Cole said.
Roosevelt said: "I have deep feelings for China. My mother has lived in Hong Kong for a long time, and my two aunts have also lived in Hong Kong. I hope that China will have a good future and that the Chinese can help us. Defeat the Japanese and truly stand up. Cole, please draft a telegram to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in China, saying that if China lends troops to us this time, the United States will not only provide material assistance, but also provide support during the war. In the future, the United States will actively help China improve its international status and make China a truly great country."
"Okay, I will draft a message right now. Mr. President, you are too tired and you should take a good rest." Cole said.
"Okay, Cole, let's go together." Roosevelt yawned, and Cole pushed President Roosevelt's wheelchair toward his bedroom...
