In the blink of an eye, the time came to the end of 1941.
In the past three months, there has been no major fighting on the battlefield in Myanmar.
The Chinese and Japanese armies only had a few small-scale conflicts on the Siam-Myanmar border, but neither the Japanese army nor the Chinese Expeditionary Force had any intention of going to war at this time.
So after a little contact, they quickly retreated to their respective defense zones.
In the past three months, the Myanmar war zone has been conducting high-intensity military training, and at the same time, it has stepped up the construction of industrial zones in northern Myanmar.
So far, more than 300 industrial projects in all categories assisted by the U.S. government have been basically completed and put into production. Whether it is aircraft, artillery or tanks, the Myanmar theater can already produce them on its own.
With the completion and commissioning of the Northern Burma Industrial Zone, all kinds of beautiful weapons and equipment have been continuously produced, and the arming of the six armies of the Burmese theater, that is, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, has finally been put on the agenda.
The six group armies after reorganization have basically taken shape.
However, the quality of the reorganization remains to be tested in actual combat.
But at least on paper, these six group armies have begun to take shape.
¡¡
The Japanese army was not idle either.
On the one hand, the 15 old divisions replaced by the Chinese Condemnation Army and the Southern Army, as well as 15 new divisions with serial numbers after 1970, have been supplemented.
Coupled with the 20 divisions after reconstruction, the size of Myanmar¡¯s condemnation army has reached a record-breaking 50 divisions, nearly 1 million troops!
In order to improve command efficiency, Okamura Neiji changed all the original four-unit divisions into three-unit security divisions.
In addition, in terms of defense fortifications, Okamura Neiji cleverly took advantage of the contradictions between the Siamese royal family, the military and the government, and firmly tied Siam to the Japanese tanks.
The Siamese government was forced to mobilize hundreds of thousands of workers to help the Japanese army build more than 11 fortresses and more than 10,000 bunkers on the more than 300 kilometers of northwest Siam border.
Relying on these eighteen fortresses and more than 10,000 bunkers, Okamura Neiji built three front and rear fortification chains.
In a report to the Japanese base camp, Okamura Neiji proudly said that the northwest Siam defense line has been fully formed, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the Oriental Maginot, which can ensure the security of Siam and Indo-China.
Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo has publicly threatened many times that it will be impossible for the Chinese Expeditionary Force to break the northwest Siam defense line unless more than 2 million people die in battle.
¡¡
In short, the Chinese and Japanese armies are not idle.
One is working hard to sharpen his spear, and the other is working hard to strengthen the shield.
But this battle between spears and shields may not be fought in a short time.
The reason is simple, because the international situation has changed dramatically compared to three months ago!
The biggest change comes from the Far East battlefield. The Far East of the Soviet Union has been completely occupied.
More than three months ago, Ishihara Kanji personally commanded the Kwantung Army armored group. With lightning speed, it covered an area of ??more than 500 kilometers in one week and captured the important town of Chita in one fell swoop.
Chita was captured, and the Siberian Railway, the main transportation artery connecting the Soviet Far East and Europe, was immediately blocked for two years, and the Far East suddenly became an isolated island.
The Soviet Far East Front immediately organized troops to carry out a counterattack.
The Soviet Post-Berga Military District also invested a certain number of troops to cooperate with the Far East Front in launching a counterattack.
¡°However, the main force of the Soviet army in the European battlefield is facing a strong threat from the German army after the reinforcements, and it is unable to reinforce it at all.
In the end, the offensives of the Soviet Far Eastern Front Army and the Post-Berga Front Army were disintegrated by the Kwantung Army. Even after the main force of the Far Eastern Front Army was sent out, the Kwantung Army seized the opportunity to attack Khabarovsk, and then Komsomolsk fell, and even There is also a serious shortage of supplies for hundreds of thousands of troops to spend the winter.
Chita, Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk fell successively, and the Soviet Far East Front suddenly fell into a desperate situation.
After more than three months of hard work and the arrival of severe winter, the Soviet Far East Front failed to wait for reinforcements from the main Soviet army on the European battlefield.
In the end, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front announced his surrender.
More than 300,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers laid down their weapons and became prisoners.
Overnight, the Japanese government expanded its territory and acquired almost the entire Far East.
Hirohito was also excited and issued an edict to commend the Kwantung Army's achievements, and at the same time officially promoted Ishihara Kanji to the rank of Commander-in-Chief.The rank of marshal of the army.
However, after being promoted to the rank of field marshal, Ishihara Kanji was also transferred back to the country to serve as the chief of army general staff, replacing Kanin Gongzaihito who resigned due to his old age.
Ishihara Kanji is also the first Army Chief of Staff who is not a member of the royal family.
This is undoubtedly a privilege, but it is just an honor.
This is actually an overt promotion and covert promotion. Although Ishihara Wanji's military rank and position were promoted, the real power in his hands was weakened and became hidden.
¡¡
But at this time, the Soviet Union¡¯s resilience finally showed itself.
Although all the Far East has fallen, the Transberga Military District is also facing threats from the Mongolian Army and the Kwantung Army. The European battlefield is facing a fierce attack by more than 5 million German troops and servants, and only part of the east bank of the Volga River is left. and the desolate area west of the Ural Mountains, but the Soviet Red Army was stunned to withstand the crazy German attack.
When the time came to the end of 1941, when the harsh winter came again, the Soviet Red Army miraculously stabilized the front line in an area 100 kilometers east of the Volga River.
Because the Soviet government had built a chain of defense fortifications in this area early.
Since then, no matter how hard the German army exerts its force, it has never been able to cross the Soviet army's solid defense line.
As time passed to the end of 1941, and as the temperature in Northern Europe reached minus 40 degrees or even 50 degrees, a large number of German technical equipment experienced varying degrees of malfunction.
Due to climatic factors, the head of state had no choice but to order a temporary suspension of the offensive.
¡¡
The war on the Eastern Front in Europe has been temporarily suspended due to weather conditions.
But the African battlefield has just reached its climax. After being besieged by the Germans for more than three months, the British 8th Army and the US 7th Army gathered in the El Alamein area were also in dire straits because they could not wait for reinforcements.
Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the Allied African battlefield, was even considering whether to surrender honorably.
¡¡
At the same time, the Japanese troops in the Australian battlefield did not know whether they were stimulated by the Kwantung Army, but they also fought and won consecutively. The British and Australian troops were quickly expelled from the prosperous coastal areas, leaving only a few scattered The soldiers retreated to the central desert area to linger.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the British-Australian army is no longer sustainable.
At this time, looking at the entire world, the Axis Alliance is really in a great situation.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance is in mourning. Many British politicians have even openly discussed that honorably surrendering to the German army is an acceptable option.
