Chapter 601: Tai Hang

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

The Germans suddenly appeared in the Balkans, and as soon as they appeared they played a long-lost *. The 400 fighters of the Air Force have achieved a superiority in the sky. Now that the P-40 and Zero fighters are serving in large numbers, the main German fw-190d fighters have been unable to completely crush their opponents in performance. However, in several countries on the Balkans, air force construction can hardly keep up with the trend of the world.

In addition to the Greek Air Force equipped with 11 improved P-40 aircraft, most of the Balkan fighters are at the same level as the Polish Air Force. In the face of the fierce German Air Force, you can imagine how much you can do.

In 17 hours, this was the time when the German Air Force fighter jets under Catherine completely destroyed several Balkan air forces. The 300 enemy aircraft have achieved little success except for the German pilots. In fact, the Balkan Air Force has not shot down German fighter jets as high as the German accident crash rate.

In the afternoon of the same day, the German Stuttgart 2 attack aircraft began to crush the ground under the cover of the fighter, and the backward Stukka also joined the slaughter lineup. Strategic air forces appeared in droves in Crete, bombing British facilities on the island. Within 24 hours, the entire Balkans were covered under the wings of the German Eagle.

Under the command of General Hawke, the 8th Mechanized Infantry Army advanced as fast as it did in France. They have even been warmly welcomed in many places. The local Serbs regard the German army as a liberator. They are willing to join the leadership of the steel axis and share the fruits of victory brought by the war.

Even Hawke couldn't believe that the war was going so smoothly. The positive Yugoslav troops collapsed because of the heavy casualties. According to the experience of the battlefield, the speed of 25 kilometers per day can never be slow. In fact, the Yugoslav troops on the front of the German army were almost consumed by the Italian troops, so the German army picked up a cheap one. However, in the eyes of Mussolini, who did not know the truth, it was the troops that the Italian troops had not defeated in 2 days. It broke in 4 hours.

The local area is extremely complicated, so wherever you go, some places even threw flowers at the German soldiers who entered the city. Many people could not wait to hang the flag of the German Third Reich. Unfortunately, this will soon be handed over to Italy, and Germany lacks interest in these non-strategic regions.

The good times did not last long. After passing some pro-German and Pro-Italian areas in the border area, the resistance began to become stronger. The Germans had to bypass the city and wipe out the Greek troops and reinforcements that came to the rescue with the best field tactics. Yugoslav troops. The cities behind them were surrounded by Italian infantry and German infantry and began endless shelling.

The Balkan Peninsula is undoubtedly of great significance to the German and Italian forces ’North African strategy. Once the Balkans are occupied and the navy and air force are deployed on Crete, not only can they be integrated with Turkey and become back-to-back border allies, but they can also move the transport line from Italy to North Africa and place them in the Balkan Crete to Egypt When this route came up, the distance was nearly doubled, and the route was safer.

Once the Balkans become a new supply base for the Germans, the Romanian oil field will be completely peace of mind, the German strategic depth will be further expanded, and military operations in North Africa will receive more support. Rommel ’s African Legion will receive multiple supplies, and the Allied forces will be able to hold the Suez Canal, which will cause problems, not to mention the large area of ​​Egypt.

If the port of Alexandria in Egypt is lost, the supply of British and American troops within the territory will collapse even further, and the oil in the Middle East will become the pocket of the Axis Powers, and by that time Akado will have more resources under control than the United States. However, U.S. Air has huge capacity but will be caught in a production dilemma due to lack of raw materials.

Of course, all of this is just a deduction, and things are not exactly performing in a unicorn in accordance with the German script. Neither the United States nor Britain will watch the Germans gain their advantage in the Middle East. They are unwilling to give up Middle Eastern oil interests, and they do n’t even want to share part of it with Germany.

The British army is also struggling with the final dying, they do not want to see their Middle East eventually reduced to German occupation. So about 20 divisions of British Indian divisions are heading to the Middle East, hoping to rush to Egypt to stabilize the situation before the Balkan chaos ends. These Indian divisions are not high in combat capability, but they have the advantage of being well-staffed. The British military has armed a large army of nearly 350,000 people with many backward weapons from the local stocks. Some old-style howitzers were even produced since 1898, and they were behemoths produced 40 years ago.

In order to defend the Middle East, the United States even discussed the issue of Chinese expeditionary troops traveling to the Middle East with the Chinese special envoy. The US government is even willing to provide 0.5% of the local oil share in exchange for sending troops from China. However, since China has never sent troops to expedite so far in modern history, the logistics of the United States cannot be guaranteed, so this exciting plan will eventually be lost.

Another thing that made this plan impossible is that because of the collapse of the US Navy and the invasion of Australia by Japan, the supply line spanning half the earth between the United States and China was broken, and the Chinese troops expeditionary to Myanmar because of lack of ammunition and equipment The country was defeated and forced to return to China.

The Japanese army is rising on the Pacific battlefield, and even some members of the United States have already felt that this war is a victory for Japan. If the United States wants to avoid greater losses, it can only choose the time to withdraw from the war. Because the United States is now fighting against enemies, and the voice of the people calling for a decisive battle with Japan is rising, the high-level Americans who questioned that the war will fail will only dare to complain in private, far from the height of Congressional will.

Under this circumstance, the United States mobilized 40 divisions of the local guard forces to prepare for the possible Japanese landing forces. At Roosevelt's insistence, elite US troops with four divisions were sent to the Middle East, including even the newly produced 300 m4 Sherman tanks. Roosevelt hoped to strengthen Patton's strength and win the North African war to stabilize the situation.

On this point, Roosevelt and the military's senior generals have serious differences. The US Navy Pacific Fleet Commander Nimitz and the Allied Supreme Commander General Eisenhower both hope that the United States will take the lead in the Pacific counterattack, and Roosevelt personally feels that the United States should first Resolve the North African battlefield.

In the end, the American generals won, and they sent most of the American soldiers to the dead islands on the Pacific Ocean, delaying Japan's attack time. And Roosevelt can only help Barton win the American soldiers of the 4 divisions within his ability. However, the number of tanks was reduced to 200, and the number of aircraft was only 110. Compared with the strengthening of German North African power in the same period, these forces can only be regarded as barely maintained.

However, on the other hand, there was news that the Americans were somewhat depressed, and the implementation of the Australian withdrawal was incomplete. In fact, everyone knows that it is a very difficult order to let Australian troops give up their homeland retreat to the United States. Those local troops will never give up their homes.

Various problems did arise during the execution of the order to renounce Australia. The biggest problem was that the young soldiers were unwilling to give up their families. The United States had to use all the ships it could find to **** Australian families to South America and the United States to mobilize the Australian army to follow.

But until the end, there were still 4 divisions of Australian troops left in the homeland. They refused to board the ship and retreated. Instead, they picked up the heavy weapons dropped by American soldiers and drove in the opposite direction. There, they resolved to fight against the invaders. At the same time, across from them, the Japanese are struggling eastward in the desert, hoping to find a rich Australian city to launch their new round of attacks.

For the whole of July, it was almost good news for the Japanese. After annihilating the US Pacific Fleet, the Japanese navy, after more than ten days of cruising, covered the infantry and controlled the entire island system in Southeast Asia. The Japanese army found the lack of oil resources, and the strategic situation was good.

The base camp is preparing an offensive plan to land on Oahu. Once Oahu is won, Yamamoto 56 believes that the United States will obediently walk back to the negotiating table and humiliate and Japan for a sum. In this way, Japan's biggest gamble will end in victory, and Japan will become the new generation of Asia-Pacific region hegemony.

The Japanese flag has covered northeast China, north China, and the entire southern coastal area. As well as Southeast Asia in Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and the northwestern part of Australia. From the perspective of Japan's top officials, the war will end in the next three months. Once the United States withdraws from the war, Japan will have the opportunity to go back and give a hard lesson to the troubled China.

But the illusions of these high-ranking officials and masters have not changed the personal experience of the grassroots Japanese officers and soldiers. In the Australian desert, the troops of the 7 Japanese divisions were scared by the huge territory. The base camp in Tokyo requested support, not because they encountered tenacious resistance, but because they had no troops on the long front.

General Ogawa, the commander of the Japanese front line, groaned repeatedly in his heart: For the Japanese Army, Australia does not fight, but for the Japanese Army soldiers, the territory is vast and unlimited. It can definitely be regarded as a big pit that is not filled.
