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

These days, the fighting in Australia is not going well. Although the Japanese army deliberately chose a relatively remote log-in area because of avoiding counterattacks, it began to gradually capture several important areas of Australia after a few days because of the increasing force.

The Japanese army going south had less success, and basically they were totally useless. They attacked several less important cities and towns along the way. It was this force that advanced in the borderless desert. The areas they attacked are not important areas of Australia, and there are almost no. Defensive strength.

The Japanese troops on the north had occupied Calumbru and Wyndham half a month ago, and then engaged in a fierce battle with a nearby Australian infantry regiment. After a few hours, the fierce Japanese soldiers forcibly entered regardless of their losses. The Timber Creek was taken over, and its vanguard occupied the long-awaited port of Kitts in Western Australia on July 27.

This combat operation encircled a division of Australia in Darwin Port halfway. Once the Japanese occupied Darwin, the logistic supply of the Japanese and Australian landing forces would be much more convenient, even if they had a firm foothold in Australia.

In fact, looking at the history of Japan's aggression against China, you can see the characteristics of the Japanese nation. They are fierce and abnormal, but they also carry a trace of sinister cunning. They learn and understand powerful opponents, strive to master all the details of their opponents, use them to judge and evaluate their opponents, and ultimately win, defeat and surpass this opponent in a decisive battle.

This was the case with the Japanese when dealing with Tsarist Russia. They knew the Tsarist troops deployed in the Far East. With the support of the British and the French, they even knew that Tsarist Russia could not transport large and elite European troops to the Far East. So they won in one battle and defeated Tsarist Russia.

This is even more true of the Chinese Manchu government. Their spies are pervasive. They even understand China ’s properties and the level of military enterprises. They collect all kinds of intelligence in China. Eventually, they know China better than the Chinese themselves. The victory in the First World War laid the foundation for Japan's rise.

But this time, things have changed a bit. The continuous victory of the Japanese made them a little bit floating, which is the inevitable result of the rapid rise of lack of background, and because of the tight time, they can not allow them to observe their opponents for 3 or even 5 years, so this time Japan is a bit blind. Feeling.

They did not understand the Soviet troops behind Nomenkan and were still using Tsarist-era intelligence to evaluate this powerful opponent. They do not understand the United States, at least they do not fully understand the opposite United States, and they are completely unable to understand the horrible production capacity of the United States. Japan ’s top executives did not think that the war would be so smooth. Their planned plans were not written here. In their thoughts, after the Japanese captured the Philippines and Malaysia, the United States would choose to succumb to Wake Island. However, at present, this estimate is a little too optimistic, and the Japanese military has to panic to prepare for the second round of action plan.

A country ’s invasion plan is not detailed enough, its strategic vision is far-reaching, and its strategic prediction is not accurate enough. It determines whether the country ’s aggression process is smooth and whether the control after the occupation of the target is stable. It also determines whether the country can eat itself. To achieve self-powerfulness.

The relatively comprehensive combat plan drawn up by Japan is the war of aggression against China, so even if the squadron was repeatedly strengthened by Germany and the United States, it still failed to prevent the Japanese army from expanding its occupied area in the coastal areas of China. But now that the war in Japan is completely unplanned, it is no wonder that various problems have arisen.

For example, the Japanese army had serious differences with the navy in the occupation of Australia. The navy hopes that the army can attack all the way along the coastal areas, control the prosperous port cities of eastern Australia at an early date, and prepare for the entry into South America and the United States. The western region is optional.

However, the army believes that it is necessary to fully occupy Australia in order to save its own troops to the maximum. Now Japan has mobilized 40 divisions for Australia, and more than 20 have been sent to Australia and the surrounding areas of Australia. If the Australian war cannot end in a short period of time, the Japanese army will add another 40 divisions to go Australia, for Japan, which is clearly understaffed, has added to the problem.

This serious disagreement eventually made a weird joke according to Japan's consistent solution: since everyone can't see each other, then no one cares who, let's fight their own! This kind of childlike warfare has been used throughout the Japanese Pacific War. From weapons development to tactical arrangements, the Navy and the Army are not affiliated with each other.

As a result, all sorts of hilarious dismantling of each other appeared in the Japanese military's combat performance: the navy was defeated, and the news did not tell the army. As a result, the army only found out that there was no cooperation of naval forces and the result was worse. The navy ran to dig a cave on its own to prepare for a long battle, and the army was dumbly digging trenches on the beach to fight the US landing. This is the performance of the Japanese military under real conditions, and there is no exaggeration.

Therefore, the Japanese navy began to organize some marines and other troops to attack north along the coastline, completing their plan to seize the industrial zone on Australia's east coast as soon as possible. It must be said that this time the plan of the Japanese navy seems to be a little more savvy than the army. However, based on the principle of "the army that the navy insists on will oppose", the senior Japanese army ordered the elite army troops to attack south in an attempt to conquer Australia's entire island.

However, compared with several elite divisions of the Army, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Marine Corps still has a gap. At least in terms of the configuration of heavy weapons, it cannot be compared with the Japanese Army. Therefore, in the process of entanglement with the Australian forces, the Japanese army going north did not find anything decent and could only rely on limited naval cover to advance forward little by little to the main force of the Japanese navy fleet. , Killing Oahu in the United States.

In order to draw a clear line with the Japanese navy, the Japanese Army took a small number of tanks with artillery and the Australian desert "fight", and did not mean to support the Marine Corps. But soon the army commanders discovered a terrible problem. Without the support of the port, they could not go far. Seeing that more and more troops landed on the landing force, they could not take advantage of the number of people. The senior army officers had to find the Japanese navy in disgrace, hoping to share the goods transported by the army in the port.

This incident finally came to an end with the Japanese Emperor. For the future of Japan, the Japanese Army finally got the coveted Port of Kitts, but after some bargaining, the Japanese Army was forced to promise the Japanese Navy to help win more. The important port of Darwin.

It has been a month of nonsense. On August 15, the Japanese army resumed its offensive in the direction of Darwin Harbour. This time, the Australian defenders really learned the fighting power of the elite Japanese army. The crazy Japanese soldiers attacked like waves, and finally the Australian defenders surrendered to the 19th Japanese Division, and Darwin Port fell.

In fact, some people of insight at the top of Japan have seen Australia as a huge trap. The Japanese army ’s entry into such a vast area will only make its own military more dispersed and its soldiers more exhausted. But because of the lack of a systematic analysis and plan, they do not know how to deal with the situation at hand.

Abandon Australia? What a joke? Nearly 300,000 people of the Japanese Army have landed there. Do you think it would be fun to bring these troops back to the country with all your efforts? This kind of thing should not be thought of by Japanese high-level officials. No one will agree to spit out what they eat.

Continue to attack in Australia? Then we will send another 300,000 soldiers. The area of ​​Australia ’s territory is larger than that of China ’s occupied territory by Japan. If you refer to the Japanese troops stationed in China, at least Japan needs 1 million people to fully control such a vast territory. This is simply the old life of Japan. In China, nearly 2 million people are trapped in the pit and ca n’t get out. If another 1 million is thrown in here, then what is the ability to attack the United States?

The current script Japan is also confused. It expects that the United States will surrender to Japan a few days ago, but the United States has no intention of surrendering. In response to the Japanese invasion of Australia, the United States mobilized 1 million Army soldiers to defend their Pacific Ocean and the United States. Native. In this month, Nimitz added 7 destroyers and 3 cruisers.

At the same time, the three aircraft carriers originally converted to the United Kingdom were already in their final perch. These independent light aircraft carriers can only carry 40 aircraft, which is far from the opponent of the Japanese Navy Fleet Carrier. These three aircraft carriers were originally converted to aid the British. In the original history, they only launched in 43 years, but because of the failure of the British Navy in this time and space, they joined the US Navy ’s battle sequence four and a half years in advance.

With these three light aircraft carriers, plus the York City and Assault, and the Bumblebee, which is about to be completed in the dock, the US Navy has the power to fight the Japanese Navy. Nimitz is considering whether or not to give up his defense first.

While Japan was arrogant in Australia, the Americans were not idle. They used all their power to start building strong fortifications on Oahu. Three US divisions with higher combat effectiveness were deployed on Oahu. , Made all the preparations for the Japanese army to attack.
