The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1083

The Celestial Empire was still hesitating, and was somewhat worried about the 500,000 British troops entering their borders to fight.

But just when they were hesitant, the news that the foot basin people mobilized the Kwantung Army to enter the pass to participate in the war completely dispelled their concerns!

The strength of the Kwantung Army is obvious to all in the Celestial Empire. The reason why Zhang Zuolin’s Northeast Army was defeated was because of the fierce attack of the Kwantung Army regardless of casualties. The two sides fought a tragic battle like a meat grinder around the city of Fengtian, which successfully dragged down the Northeast Army with huge casualties!

The Anti-Japanese War lasted for so long. Although countless battles broke out between the Celestial Empire Army and the Japanese Army, there has never been such a cruel and fierce battle like the Battle of Fengtian!

After the battle in the Northeast ended, the Kwantung Army, as the cornerstone of the foot basin to protect the Northeast region, did not go south with other Japanese troops, but stayed in the Northeast region. This made the Celestial Empire Army in the south not fight with this army known as the flower of the Japanese Army, but considering the strong combat effectiveness of other Japanese troops, this Japanese army should be stronger!

Moreover, the Kwantung Army is not only strong, but also numerous. The Kwantung Army in the Northeast is conservatively estimated to have at least 500,000 people. If they all go out and enter the customs collectively, it will not only fill the Japanese troops that were transferred away because of the Australian campaign, but also greatly enrich the strength of the Japanese army, and put greater pressure on the Celestial Army!

In this case, the Celestial Government can’t care so much. The hidden dangers of the British army entering the country are put aside first, and the people of the foot basin are defeated first!

Therefore, the cooperation between the sun never sets and the Celestial Empire progressed very smoothly. After the two countries reached a cooperation agreement, the 500,000 elite British troops led by General Montgomery quickly entered the country from the southwest of the Celestial Empire and joined the battlefield of the Celestial Empire! After entering the country, this army immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in the southwest.

The Japanese army entrenched in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions was the first to be hit!

After the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, in order to completely cut off the Celestial Empire’s external transportation channels, the foot basin dispatched the navy to block the Celestial Empire’s coastline, and then landed from various ports, controlled the coastal areas of the Celestial Empire, and cut off the Celestial Empire’s maritime contact with the outside world.

Although the Celestial Empire still has land transportation lines with the outside world, such as the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the transportation capacity of this road is very limited, and the road is very tortuous and bumpy, which is completely incomparable to the convenient and efficient sea transportation!

Through such blockade tactics, the foot basin successfully weakened the Celestial Empire’s ability to obtain support from the outside world, and to a certain extent achieved the goal of trapping the Celestial Empire.

Of course, if there was no Trans-Siberian Railway of the Russian Bear, this strategy would be even more successful.

The Russian Bear’s railway allowed a large amount of aid from the Third Reich to be transported directly from Europe to the Celestial Empire by rail, which greatly alleviated the dilemma of insufficient materials in the Celestial Empire and cracked the blockade policy of the foot basin!

However, the coastal areas are extremely important to the Celestial Empire, and there is no railway connection between the Sun Never Sets and the Celestial Empire. If there is no convenient sea transportation line, the transportation and supply of the Sun Never Sets’ army and materials will be very difficult!

Therefore, it is extremely important for both countries to expel the Japanese troops in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions and regain the ports and sea control here!

After the Japanese army realized the intentions of the coalition forces of the two countries, it immediately dispatched troops and strengthened the protection here.

They must defend the port and coastline, and must not let the coalition forces find a breakthrough, otherwise, their blockade tactics will fail completely!

So, around the southern town of Guangfu, the two sides broke out in an unprecedented melee!

The Celestial Empire has successively invested 400,000 troops, plus the British army’s 300,000 troops, forming a coalition of 700,000 troops to participate in the war.

The foot basin has successively sent 550,000 troops, plus a large number of navy and air force to participate in the war!

Originally on the battlefield of the Celestial Empire, because the Celestial Empire lacked weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons such as airplanes and tanks, there was often no good way to face the Japanese air bombardment.

Therefore, in the view of the Japanese General Staff, as long as their navy and air force carried out fierce artillery and bombardment on the Celestial Empire’s army, relying on the advantage of firepower to continuously kill the Celestial Empire’s army, it can not only weaken the opponent’s strength and cause a large number of casualties to the opponent, but also have a great impact on the opponent’s morale, causing the opponent’s morale to fall to the bottom!

In this way, if they launch an attack again, it will inevitably have a crushing effect.

This tactic has been verified in many previous battles. The Celestial Empire’s army, which was subjected to heavy artillery and bombing, often collapsed and then suffered a rout once the number of casualties increased. A rout army was naturally no match for the Japanese army!

However, with the arrival of military aid from the Third Reich and the participation of the British army, the situation began to reverse!

As for the coalition forces, they could finally bring out a powerful air force to participate in the war!

As a result, the one-sided situation predicted by the Japanese army did not appear!

Before the ground forces of both sides exchanged fire, the air forces had already launched several fierce collisions.

This level of fierce fighting in the air was extremely new to the soldiers of both China and Japan. The soldiers of the Celestial Empire had never thought that their air force was so powerful that they could fight back and forth with the Japanese army in the air without losing the wind. The

Japanese soldiers were shocked, and they all had a huge question mark in their hearts: Is this still the country they looked down upon?

Why would such a country, which was so weak in their eyes, have such a powerful air force? This is unscientific!

However, compared to the army, the most surprising thing is the Japanese air force!

They are used to being unscrupulous on the battlefield of the Celestial Empire. In the past, the Celestial Empire lacked an air force that could deal with them, so they were rampant and did not have to worry about their safety at all. Therefore, these foot basin air force pilots have become accustomed to bullying, and coupled with the long period of no air combat, their air combat technology has not only not improved but also declined to a certain extent!

On the other hand, the coalition forces composed of the Celestial Empire and the British Army, the British Army, needless to say, they fought all the way from Europe to South Asia. Although they could not beat the Third Reich Air Force in air combat, they also accumulated extremely rich combat experience in the contest with the German Air Force, and many ace pilots with excellent skills emerged!

The Celestial Empire’s air force was originally trained by German instructors, and the fighters they were equipped with were all produced by the Third Reich. This is an army with a strong Third Reich bloodline. They are not lacking in technology, but lacking in experience!

And the foot basin has no advantage in this regard, because they only have experience in bullying, no experience in air combat!
