Beiyang reactionaries

put all one's eggs in one basket.

Japan has shown what it means to be desperate.

Are there smart people in Japan? Yes, and there are many.Including the current management in Japan, they are all smart and capable people.In any nation, there will be smart people.However, since the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, Japan has been adopting the adventurous policy of "gambling on the country's fortune".

And the important thing is that the result is victory.

The first time was the Sino-Japanese War, which defeated China, the most powerful country in the Far East in history, and Japan has since become the leader in East Asia.Only ten years later, Japan once again "gambled on its national fortune", which was the famous Russo-Japanese War.For the first time, Japan defeated Western countries and began to squeeze into the ranks of world powers.It is precisely because of such victories one after another that the Japanese high-level officials and the military have become more and more superstitious about this kind of adventure.

The result is that the Japanese high-level, the Japanese military does not understand the degree of relaxation.

So many times Japan chooses to put all their eggs in one basket.

This is the case in Japan today.Japan is currently in internal and external difficulties, and the situation is getting worse.After repeated battles and defeats on the Pacific battlefield, the U.S. submarine force has begun to come to the Philippines and Taiwan for activities.The U.S. submarine force frequently attacked Japanese transport ships and began to attack the relationship between Japan and Southeast Asia.The effect is very good, making Japan's domestic resources even more scarce.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet began to attack the Mariana Islands and New Guinea.Since the First Mobile Fleet and the Second Mobile Fleet were annihilated by the US military, the Japanese army was at an absolute disadvantage in the Pacific War.

So did the British Army.

On this side of the Chindun River, every day is the rumble of cannons.The British army tried their best to break through the defense line of the Chindun River.Although the Japanese army has firmly held the Chindun River defense line until now, there are more and more British troops on the opposite side.More importantly, the aviation forces of the British and American coalition forces are becoming more and more powerful, and the number of cannons is also increasing day by day.Both caused great casualties to the Japanese army.

In addition, China has always been aggressive towards Japan.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation under normal circumstances, many countries are seeking peace, or seeking a decent end to the war to preserve the vitality of the country.But the thinking of the Japanese high-level officials is obviously different. They chose to put all their eggs in one basket, and they chose to suppress all of them.As long as the last moment is not reached, Japan will never admit defeat.

Open up the connection between Malaysia and Myanmar, open up the Thai channel, and maintain the current situation in the India-Myanmar battlefield.

Compared with the Thai army, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is really strong.Although the Thai army got the news early and deployed defense lines in important areas.But in the face of the Japanese army's strong attack, they still retreated steadily.Some troops even collapsed thousands of miles.

Fortunately, Thailand is not too stupid.

Follow the advice of the Chinese advisory group, run away if you can't fight, but wreak havoc on Thailand's roads before leaving.In order to transport supplies to the front-line troops, some roads in Thailand were repaired by Japan at the beginning, and many large trucks on the roads ran without any problems.But this time Thailand damaged these roads very badly.

Mobilizing people to dig tunnels is the most common.As long as enough people are mobilized, it is not too difficult to dig a few meters deep and more than ten meters long pits in those roads.

Besides these, what is more?

It is to destroy some bridges and plant landmines in the middle of the road.

Such things annoy the Japanese army more than the army directly confronting the Japanese army.The reason why the Japanese army wants to get through Thailand is to deliver supplies to the frontline troops, but now Thailand is wantonly destroying roads, which directly affects the Japanese army's strategy.In particular, some bridges were destroyed and it was very difficult to restore them.And a bunch of landmines on the road, it is very time-consuming to solve.

Japan is not a country like the United States and the Soviet Union, who can use artillery to solve landmines.Japan's ammunition is not so abundant, and it can only be demined step by step.This wastes a lot of time.

Japan was angry, but to no avail.

Although the Japanese army defeated the Thai army several times, they were unable to penetrate Thailand after fighting in Thailand for more than 20 days.It is because too much time is wasted on the road.And the Thai army, which has experienced wars during this period, slowly adapted to this kind of war, and there were no defeats in the next few fights.Even some elite troops in Thailand began to frequently attack the Japanese logistics troops.In such a process, time slowly entered July 1944.

"How did the British army fight?"

Although Thailand did not fight the war very well, it still did a good job of what it should do. It kept the Japanese army in Thailand for more than 20 days.

Now the situation of the Japanese army in Burma is really bad. It has been too long to get logistical supplies, and the rations of the troops have been reduced again and again.Some of the Japanese troops on the front line of the Chindun River were unable to satisfy themselves with two meals a day.What's more, these troops were also seriously short of ammunition.

But under such circumstances, the British army not only failed to cross the Chindun River, but even a British army broke into Kachin State.However, it was defeated by the Japanese army left behind in Myitkyina, with more than 7 casualties, which can be described as a shame.

In order to stop the British army on the Chindun River, the main force of the Burmese Front Army was assembled there.Most of the Japanese troops, including Myitkyina, came south to the Chindun River.There were not many Japanese troops staying in Myitkyina, but it was such Japanese troops, and the British troops who fought in the same way threw away their helmets and armor.

"Chairman, now that the Chindun River is soaring due to the rainy season, it will become more difficult for the British army to cross the Chindun River in a short period of time. Once Malaysia and Myanmar open up the Thai channel, the logistics of the Burmese front army will be guaranteed. You can't get into Burma."

"Ah."

Duan Xun agreed with Li Jishen's judgment.

The British army is really muddy and cannot support the wall.In fact, the British army has gathered so many troops at present, and has absolute air supremacy, and its artillery strength far exceeds that of the Japanese army.But after fighting for so long, I couldn't beat Chindunjiang.Even the airborne troops, which were very proud at the beginning, are getting worse and worse in Myanmar because they have no support.They can only rely on airlift supplies to maintain.

If the British army is really unable to fight the Chindun River for a long time, then this airborne force will definitely not be able to persist.

"It seems that it's time for us to make a move."

Really looked up to the British army.

I thought that the British army could easily enter Burma, but I didn't expect that the British army could not enter Burma after two months.Of course, the current Japanese army is at the end of its strength, and it won't last long.

But Duan Xun couldn't wait.

China wants to join the war, but Duan Xun doesn't want to fight for two or three years.This is not good for China.If China participates in the war, it must end the war in the Far East in the shortest possible time.At least not slower than the European battlefield.

Only when it is faster than the European battlefield, China will have enough time to deploy and consider the post-war order.

The British and American coalition forces have begun the Normandy landings, and millions of troops have poured into France.The Soviet Union also began to attack continuously, annihilating a large number of German troops.In the current situation, although the German army is still very strong, it is not so easy for Germany to persist for a year.

In other words, China has only less than a year.In less than a year, solving Japan is the right way.

"Vice Chairman Wang (Wang Jingwei), since Japan does not accept our six demands, and our deadline has passed, then we must respond. First, let all the staff of the Chinese embassy in Japan return home .Including our country’s overseas students, businessmen, and migrant workers in Japan, all will return to China within 15 days. The government will send transport ships to help them return home.”

"Second, the Federation of Chinese and Overseas Chinese should inform all Chinese and overseas Chinese in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Kalimantan of the danger of war. Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, Hainan Province, Annan Province, and Sumatra Island should do a good job Preparations for resettling these Chinese and overseas Chinese.”

"Thirdly, all Chinese transportation companies are not allowed to help the Japanese government, military, and businessmen transport supplies from the date of announcement. This includes the Republic of the Philippines, the Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Malaysia, the royal family of Vietnam, and the royal family of Cambodia."

"Fourth, all financial institutions in China are not allowed to cooperate with the Japanese government and business circles from the date of announcement. All ongoing negotiations will be terminated. This applies to all financial institutions currently in the country, whether they are state-owned, private or foreign. As long as it is a financial institution registered in my country, it must comply."

"Fifth, from the date of announcement, all trade between China and Japan will be suspended. Any trading company that violates this provision will be punished with treason."

"Sixth, the Chinese Federation Council, in the name of the Chinese Federation, all countries of the Chinese Federation will cut off trade with Japan."

"Seventh, I promise to all Japanese businessmen, Japanese staff and Japanese students in China that they will not affect their lives in China because of any changes in the relationship between China and Japan. We guarantee their personal safety and property safety. Those who are willing to return to the country, we will arrange for the ship to leave. All Japanese who stay in China must abide by the laws and regulations of China and are not allowed to participate in any espionage activities."

"Eighth, issue an ultimatum to Japan. From the date of this announcement, if the Japanese army does not withdraw from Taiwan, Sakhalin Island, and the Thousand Islands within 20 days, my country will declare war on Japan."

On June 1944, 6, British and American forces landed in Normandy.

It was the largest landing operation of World War II.

For this battle, Britain and the United States have made preparations for more than half a year.They mobilized all the troops they could mobilize, as well as aircraft, warships, and countless more.After months of trial and error, the Normandy landings finally began.

There were more than 300 million British and American coalition forces. Although the main force of the German army was restrained by the Soviet army, Hitler still organized about 160 million troops to resist the British and American coalition forces.After the Normandy landing, the Anglo-American coalition forces and the German army have fought against each other several times, and each has won or lost.

After all, after the Normandy landing, the British and American coalition forces will really face the German elite.

However, such a large battle, which has a huge influence on the entire Second World War, has limited influence in the Far East.The Normandy landings did not have as much influence as the events between China and Japan.

Because this is the Far East.

After entering July, the relationship between China and Japan has become more and more tense.
