Chapter 305

In the morning, when he saw the new German helicopter put into use and convinced Mercedes to give birth to a child, akado was a little proud. His efforts are slowly blossoming and bearing fruit, and the feeling of seeing the return also makes him a little overjoyed.

However, a document in the afternoon brought him back to the cruel reality: in the Far East, the war situation took a turn for the worse, and the Chinese * team, which lacked the inside information, finally lost in front of the Japanese army who planned to prepare for the war.

Although in many areas, the 9th group army of China played a similar style to the German army, once drove the Japanese troops from several landing sites out of the sea, and even the main landing site of the Japanese army was compressed to a small area of a few kilometers around. The Japanese headquarters even considered the possibility of failure in the battle of Songhu.

At the time when the Chinese * team was at its best, the main force of the Japanese landing force, the 3rd Division, was almost completely destroyed. The division's head, lieutenant general Fujita Jin, was injured, and the division's chief of staff, Da Zuo Tian Jiuli, killed himself.

Japan had to use its strategic reserve team, the newly formed 10th army, to enter the Songhu area. Only in this way did it manage to stabilize the war situation. Finally, it found its trump card and finally stabilized the situation that was about to collapse.

It is the main air force deployed in Japan, the most elite local air defense fighter force in Japan, and the first air force of the Japanese army equipped with 30 me-109c fighters originally exported from Germany.

So there was an interesting episode in the battle of Songhu. The main air forces of the two sides who used the same weapon carried out three high-level air battles that shocked the world. The Chinese air force won one victory, one draw and one defeat, and finally retreated back to Nanjing because the number of them was less than their opponents.

As like as two peas, the fighter's green and green fighters painted the Japanese Navy's deep green painted fighters. The result is that the two sides can only rely on the air force signs to identify the target. After experimenting with each other for several times, they each return bitterly. In the first air battle, both sides shook hands to make peace and went back to change the painting.

The Chinese Air Force sprayed two blue marks of the blue sky and white sun flag on its wings as identification marks, while the Japanese aircraft added two yellow marks representing chrysanthemum on its wings as identification marks. The two sides fought again. As a result, the Japanese army was shot down three planes and the Chinese * team lost two.

In the third exchange of fire, the Japanese army dispatched 46 fighters of all kinds, but only 27 fighters of the Chinese * team took off to fight. After 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the Chinese * team was shot down five, while the Japanese army lost two me-109c fighters and two old Navy fighters as bait.

In three air battles, Japanese air force lost five me-109c fighters, while China lost seven me-109c fighters of the same type. However, four Chinese pilots successfully parachuted, while only one Japanese pilot survived and was captured by the Chinese garrison. So the results of the two sides are almost equal.

History has once again played an international joke. The Chinese air force won the battle over Songhu because of German fighters, while the Japanese air force won the battle initiative because of German fighters. It seems that both sides are advertising to the world with their own achievements: don't hesitate! Come to buy German aircraft, me-109c is the best choice for your strong air force!

Unfortunately, the Zhong * team, which has run out of ammunition reserves, has entered a weak stage. However, the Japanese army still maintained a high combat effectiveness relying on domestic blood transfusion, and the battle of Songhu took a turning point. The Japanese began to counterattack, and the Chinese Communist Party had to give up many areas that they should have held in order to preserve their strength.

Then, because of the loss of air supremacy, the Japanese air force began to support ground operations after gaining the advantage. An important 150 mm caliber heavy artillery position of the 9th group army of China was destroyed, and more than a dozen Krupp cannons were lost, which made the Japanese army even more daunting, and the situation of the China * Squadron, which lacked firepower, was even worse.

In the end, the 9th army had no choice but to withdraw from Shanghai, leaving the ruins of the war for 15 days to the Japanese aggressors. Although the battle of Songhu lasted only half a month, it consumed more than 74000 Japanese troops at one go. It was not until the Japanese army invested 400000 troops that the Chinese army began to retreat backward.

In contrast, the Chinese * team lost 100000 people in this battle, more than twice as many as the terrible 300000 casualties in another time and space; On the contrary, the Japanese army lost more than twice as much. In a quarter of the time, he achieved twice the result and reduced his loss by two-thirds - akkado had to admire the Chinese people again, and they performed better than the German army.

Many people don't understand how weak China was during the Anti Japanese War, so that they think that China's loss of cities and land is the ultimate humiliation. However, if you look at the real historical data, you can see that the Chinese people have never been soft bones, nor have they ever lost the face of Qin emperor and Han Wu.

In real history, in the first few years of the Anti Japanese War, the number of bullets produced and imported by China was about 2. 80097.5 billion units, or 3.5 billion units per year after the United States entered the war. 12.5 billion rounds. According to the arithmetic average, China's total ammunition consumption during the Anti Japanese war was about 300 million rounds per year. According to the number of * * at that time, it was about 3 million, that is to say, each person had an average of 100 bullets per year.

Many friends joke that a Chinese division was chased by a large Japanese army. In fact, this is also very helpless: at that time, a Chinese division, if it was a division, there were more than 10000 people, B Division was only 5000 or 6000 people, there were more than 3000 rifles, but the average bullet was 20-30 rounds. Even if 50 rounds were counted, a type B Division would have 150000 rounds, and a Japanese brigade would carry no less than that amount of ammunition, which could be constantly replenished. On the other hand, if the Chinese army wants to replenish its ammunition, it has to transport it from thousands of miles away. In this case, if it is an ordinary army with weak fighting will, is there any other way to retreat? However, the time and space of akkado is different. With the efforts of sikert and the help of Germany and Britain, China produced 100 million more ammunition each year than in another time and space. In addition, the National Revolutionary Army restored the actual control of the whole country earlier than before and saved a lot of ammunition. Therefore, China made a nearly one for one war loss ratio in the battle of Songhu, Even if the main force retreated to Nanjing in the later period, there was no case that the formed units were surrounded. But in the final analysis, China has failed. When Japan has basically completed industrialization, China is still a poor and backward agricultural country. Even with some industrial base, it is still an agricultural country. It was only after akkado came into contact with Germany's industrial base that he realized how strong it was. It was a manifestation of strength after accumulation and expansion. On the contrary, even decades after the victory of the Anti Japanese War, China's industry still tasted like a nouveau riche. The Japanese occupation of Shanghai destroyed the international financial center in Asia and the order of the world powers to make money, which made the United States and Britain unable to bear. Soon, two American freighters set out from Australia and delivered 100 million bullets to support China's Anti Japanese war. Britain also made 30 million bullets from Australia and sent them to China. If the amount of ammunition produced by China is included, the National Revolutionary Army still has at least 200 million bullets in stock at the present stage. With the aura of the battle in Songhu, Japan's slogan that China will be destroyed in three months has become a real joke. Although the strength of the Chinese * team has slightly decreased, the main force still exists. In this case, the defense of the Japanese Central China front army in Songhu area is still insufficient, let alone attacking Nanjing. In order to prevent Shanghai from being recaptured by the Chinese garrison, nearly 200000 troops had to be deployed to defend the surrounding areas, but they could not immediately connect with the Japanese troops going south. The Shanghai that Matsui shigen took with all his efforts has become a chicken rib that is tasteless to eat and can be discarded, which is hard to swallow in the throat of the Japanese army. China's national government announced the establishment of a temporary wartime capital, located in Chongqing. The main force retreated to Nanjing and vowed to defend Wuhan, an important military town. The Nanjing Massacre was not staged in history. Although the Japanese army had the best advantage in the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese army did not collapse on a large scale. This is also the most gratifying place for akkado. After all, to prevent the Nanjing massacre from happening again is his contribution to his distant hometown in this time and space. What he did not expect was that Germany's Secret aid to China won a lot of impression points for Germany in the US Congress, which was also an unexpected return on another level. In the general direction of helping China to fight against Japanese aggression, Germany, the United States and even Britain have maintained a high degree of agreement, which makes Germany's diplomacy more energetic. Although in Europe, Britain, France and Belgium are at war with Germany, Germany still plays the United card of peace in Asia, which makes it difficult for the United States to bet for a while. The German ambassador to the United States publicly said that Germany was fighting against the Bolshevik invasion for the whole world, but it was stabbed in the back by France. Although we all don't believe what he said, there are still some American politicians who seek status to support Germany. This reduced the scale of the US plan to aid Britain, and the plan to expand the US Army that Congress had planned to carry out was rejected, which delayed the progress of the US armed forces and the opportunity to aid Britain. As a result, in the evening, akado had to deal with his own affairs. Fanny prepared a festive speech for him to announce to all his people: the head of the Third Reich, akado? Rudolph learned today that Mercedes, the first lady of the Empire, is pregnant and that their first child will be born in the future. Germany cheered up and down. In order to celebrate the happy event of the head of state, Rommel broke through the French defense line that night and pushed forward another 10 kilometers.
