Chapter 2494 Population For Land

Two weeks after the Battle of Chuuk Island, the Battle of Guam began.It could have been faster, but because China does not have a naval base in the vicinity, the supplies needed for the fleet can only be transported from Australia by the supply fleet, so the raid has become a conventional offensive and defensive battle.Fortunately, after the Battle of Chuuk Island, the Japanese had lost their courage and dared not engage in any decisive battle with the Chinese navy.Therefore, when the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet appeared in Guam, the reconnaissance plane sent by the HNA unit of the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet failed to find a decent Japanese ship, and the Japanese army seemed to give up resistance.The leapfrog tactic seems to have lost its meaning when it is done like this.The reason why the Americans implemented leapfrog tactics at the beginning was because the resistance of the Japanese was too fierce, which caused considerable casualties to the US military.That's why the Americans gave up the conventional step-by-step style of play and changed to "leapfrog".

"The Japanese have given up resistance. Obviously, this will be another battle of Chuuk Island!" Bussel, who was interviewing with the army, wrote in his notepad before the start of the battle, which was a bit disappointing.Soon, his nerves were mobilized.Although the Japanese army gave up resistance at sea, they did not intend to give up Guam.Chen Shichang also made a mistake at this time. He did not carry out saturation bombing and shelling like he did when he attacked Chuuk Island.As a result, when the forwards of a battalion of marines attacked Guam, they were sniped tenaciously by more than a brigade of devils.

Because of Koizumi's suggestion, Yamamoto has already prepared to jointly develop a common defense with South Asia, and will not compete with the Chinese for control of the Pacific Ocean.However, his order was only valid for the navy, but it failed to affect generals like Yamashita Fufumi.The navy's defeat in consecutive battles still had a negative impact on Yamamoto's position in the military. The most obvious point is that independent generals like Okamura Ningji and Yamashita Fufumi no longer only obey the orders of the military.Moreover, the Army began to fully intervene in the islands and areas that were originally guarded by the Marine Corps.

In Guam, there was a detachment directly under Fengfumi Yamashita. This detachment originally had only about 500 people, but after Yamamoto gave the order to abandon, Fufumi Yamashita did the opposite and transferred another brigade.As the supreme commander of the Japanese army in the Philippines, Yamashita Fengwen's troops are quite powerful because they have to fight the local resistance armed forces supported by the Chinese Expeditionary Force for many years.As a result, the vanguard battalion sent by Chen Shichang was finally wiped out, and it became the first battalion-level unit to be wiped out since the establishment of the Xuebing Army Marine Corps.

Seeing through the binoculars that the last student soldier lit the battalion flag, and then fired the honor bomb in his arms, Chen Shichang's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and gave the shelling order: "Hit, hit me hard!"

The sound of cannons rang out, and Guam immediately became a hell.After half an hour of shelling, Chen Shichang became more cautious, and sent another regiment to land on the island, and at the same time sent a squadron of helicopters to provide fire support.

"Sure enough, it was an army that caused MacArthur a headache. The vanguard battalion of the Chinese was completely wiped out! My God!" Such a sentence was added to Bussel's notepad.Buser has been conducting wartime interviews with the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet for a long time, and he already has a considerable understanding of the combat power of the Xuebing Army.After a long period of research, in terms of the combat effectiveness of soldiers from China, the United States and Japan, he even came up with such a formula: one student soldier = two Japanese soldiers = five American soldiers.

But now, the performance of the Japanese army in the Battle of Guam clearly broke through this formula.

Guam was taken by the Japanese army from the US military, so the Japanese army operated Guam far less than Chuuk Island.However, because the U.S. military has left behind complete fortifications, Guam's defense strength is not weaker than that of Chuuk Island.More importantly, the soldiers of Fengwen Yamashita were all on the front line all year round, and they were not at the same level as those under Toshiichiro Koizumi from the reserve service. In addition, the Xuebing army obviously underestimated the enemy, and this accident happened as a result.

Guam was finally taken by Chen Shichang.However, looking at the corpses of more than a thousand soldiers, Chen Shichang was unable to define this battle as a victory anyway.In the battle report sent to Ouyang Yun that night, he admitted that he had underestimated the enemy, and believed that the Supreme Command should reconsider the determination of the Japanese army to resist. "It is conceivable that as the battle line approaches the Japanese mainland, the resistance of the Japanese army will become more intense!" Finally, he also pointed out the reasons for this situation.

Xu was used to Chuuk Island-style victories, and the rest of the Supreme Command found it difficult to accept the results of the Battle of Guam. At the regular military council that day, everyone looked worried.Ouyang Yun can think about it, after all, he has ready-made examples of bloody battles between the American and Japanese armies for the Pacific Ocean in his mind.Compared with these battles, the casualties paid by the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet to conquer Guam are simply unbearable.Of course, considering everyone's feelings, he couldn't say such words bluntly. "...The casualties are indeed a bit heavy, but as Commander Chen said, as the battle line approaches the Japanese mainland, the Japanese will naturally become more determined to resist. Therefore, although we must try our best to avoid casualties, we cannot slow down because of this. The pace of progress. Everyone, don’t forget that our battlefield is not only in the Pacific Ocean, and we don’t just need to defeat Japan! The German army has approached the Far East of our country, and we must keep the German army out of the country... "

If there is a better way, Ouyang Yun actually doesn't want to use human life to pay for it, but because the super bomb is still under development, it can't form a combat force yet.But he was not with me at the time, so he knew that the casualties would increase, so he could only grit his teeth and persist.

"Tell Chen Shichang that the country is not short of money now, so if it can be solved with bombs, then use bombs resolutely. Of course, in order to ensure absolute control, don't be timid when it's time to join the Marine Corps—" After the military council, Ouyang Yun Let Chen Jiayao call Chen Shichang back like this.

In the Pacific Ocean, the "leapfrog tactics" are steadily underway; on the Soviet-Russian battlefield, following the Battle of Ufa, in Kungur, the Chinese and Soviet armies and the German Army Group A once again confronted each other. This time, with the continuous increase of troops from both sides, It directly led to the rise of the battle from an encounter to a decisive battle.

The Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force defeated the German army twice after a small test of skill, which gave Stalin the hope of defeating the German army.Lao Maozi was really willing to spend his money, and actually proposed a so-called agreement of population for land.The agreement stipulated that every time China helped Soviet Russia recover a certain amount of land, the Soviet Russian government would correspondingly withdraw all locals from half of the Far East.

A cruel agreement, at least for those Soviet Russians who lived in the Far East for generations.And Ouyang Yun naturally had no reason to refuse.Despite the two-pronged approach of the Chinese government with sticks and carrots, it has been unable to achieve the "nationalization" of the Far East.At this time, Stalin's proposal was too timely.

In fact, Ouyang Yun could have a better solution, but he was really worried that the German army would enter China sooner or later as Hitler announced.Now that the Far East has become Chinese territory, it is also good to let the war happen outside the country.

Sure enough, you can't be a politician unless you are a ruthless person.And Ouyang Yun seems to have become a qualified politician now.
