    Pearl Harbor was caught off guard by an unprecedentedly violent attack, and three aircraft carriers and two battleships were sunk by the Northeastern Army within just 48 hours after the war began. This series of bad news made President Franklin Roosevelt and the leader  The top U.S. military commanders were horrified.  Faced with the unprecedented severe situation of losing all strategic initiative, Admiral Chester William Nimitz, deputy commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, made a decisive decision and ordered William Frederick Halsey Jr., who had already sent to the Far East of the Soviet Union and the waters near northern Japan.  The 4th aircraft carrier task force led by the admiral immediately gave up the plan to land on the Kamchatka Peninsula and quickly returned to the Hawaiian Islands to recapture Pearl Harbor, which had mostly been lost to the Northeastern Army's 3rd task force; while Admiral Mitchell  The 6th Aircraft Carrier Task Force under his command continued to sail to the Philippine Islands to assist the Philippine Defense Forces commanded by Admiral Douglas MacArthur in guarding the Philippine Islands and the crucial Mariana Islands.

    On the morning of September 17, the 1st Task Force of the Northeastern Army's Pacific Fleet majestically passed through the Soviet Tatar Strait and sailed straight into the Sea of ??Okhotsk, taking off from the flagship "Huangdi" aircraft carrier and the companion aircraft carrier "Tang Zong"  More than 260 carrier-based aircraft took turns to violently bomb various Soviet areas on the Kamchatka Peninsula day and night. Immediately, two infantry divisions and four 16th Army of the Northeastern Army's Sixth Group Army were transferred back from the front lines of the Siberian battlefield.  Under the command of Lieutenant General Huang Xiansheng, the B Brigade and other field troops quickly landed in port areas such as Ozernovsky, Petropavlovsk, and Ust-Ti Gili on the Kamchatka Peninsula with almost no effort.  Since the Soviet troops stationed here were sparse and their resistance was almost negligible, and there was no interference from the U.S. military, the 16th Army sang triumphantly and reported frequent successes. Among them, the 315th Motorized Infantry Division was killed without a single blow on the 21st.  They successfully captured Wevenka, which is connected to the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Siberian mainland, and successfully completed the Northeastern Army's armed occupation of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Soviet Far East, ensuring the rear of the Northeastern Army fighting against the Soviet Union.  The entire Sea of ??Okhotsk, an area equivalent to two North China Seas (Sea of ??Japan), became China's territorial waters and was renamed the Northeast China Sea.

    At the same time, the Northeast Army has two aircraft carriers, the "Yandi" and the "Mingzu", 4 "Shenwu" class battlecruisers, 4 "Taiwan" class heavy cruisers, and 3 "Challenger" class heavy cruisers.  The 2nd Task Force launched an amphibious landing battle to attack the Philippines at noon on the 17th, ahead of the US 6th Aircraft Carrier Fleet.

    At 9 a.m. on the 17th, there was a cloud of fighter jets in the sky over the South China Sea. The roar of bomber engines resounded like thunder through the sky, and the Tomahawk emblem was overwhelming.  More than 380 Northeastern Army "Vulture" long-range heavy bombers taking off in batches from Kaohsiung, Sanya and other air force airports, escorted by more than 200 "Saker" fighter jets, flew over the South China Sea at lightning speed, roaring towards Clark and Krabi in the Philippines.  These two US military bases are located in the largest air force base and naval base in the Far East.  Immediately afterwards, the 2nd Task Force, which sailed to the waters off the Babu Islands in northern Luzon Island, also launched a fierce attack on the US military in the Philippines. More than 200 carrier-based aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier covered the sky and the sun.  Together with the Air Force bombers, they launched indiscriminate bombings on the US military bases and airports in Davao, Baguio, Iba and other places in the Philippines. The battlecruisers and heavy cruisers in the fleet violently bombarded the US coastal defenses along the coast.  fortifications.  Since the US military stationed in the Philippines has entered a state of alert after the war between China and the United States, a large number of US military aircraft took off to fight before the air strikes. The two sides launched a fierce air battle of unprecedented scale over the South China Sea and over Luzon Island.  In an instant, silver war eagles flying all over the sky filled the entire sea and sky. The black and red battle ax military emblem and the red heart and white five-pointed star military emblem were flying up and down, intertwined, and densely packed like leaves blown by the wind, which was dazzling.  Downed "Sakers" and "Skuas" or P-47 "Thunderbolts" and P-51 "Mustangs" kept falling into the sea and on land.  Taking advantage of the fact that one's own escort aircraft group was fighting with the US military fighter group, the overwhelmingly superior "Vultures" swooped towards targets such as Clark and Cavite. The sound of "Hellfire" cluster bombs piercing the air continued one after another, and the US military airport  Bullets rained down instantly over Hejun Port, and hundreds of B-17 and B-24 "Liberator" bombers were blown to pieces on the airport.  The U.S. Asian Fleet anchored in Cavite Harbor was caught off guard, and a large number of ships were bombed and sunk in the harbor.  Fleet Commander Admiral T.C. Hart ordered the entire fleet to leave the port to face the Northeastern Navy. The flagship "Salt Lake City" heavy cruiser had just staggered out of the overturned harbor filled with shipwrecks, and was blocked in the waters outside the Cavite Port.  The three heavy cruisers of the Northeastern Army, the "Terminator", the "Predator", and the "Intrepid", immediately blasted the "Salt Lake City" with naval guns, directly blowing the "Salt Lake City" to pieces, and its companion ship "  The heavy cruiser USS Pensacola was soon sunk during naval gunfire.  The US warships in the Cavite port are like rats in a bellows, suffering from both ends.  Overhead are the Northeastern Army's attack aircraft groups that are constantly roaring back and forth to drop bombs, while the Hong KongIt advanced, climbed over mountains and ridges, and rushed through the tropical rain forest to the port of Surigao in the northeastern corner of Mindanao. The 288th Division subsequently eliminated the stragglers of the US-Philippine coalition forces in the area west of the Mindanao River one by one.  On the morning of the 21st, a regiment of the 35th Division of the US Army that had fled to Mainit, south of Surigao, barely held its position and launched a counterattack against the 303rd Division of the Northeastern Army that rushed towards them.  When the officers and soldiers of the 303rd Division continued to advance, the division commander, Major General Xu Dong, saw through the telescope that in an open field in front of the troops, dozens of Filipino policemen were running towards their own troops, all holding white flags in their hands, but again  Looking back, they saw a crowd of thousands of U.S. troops and a dozen tanks behind them.  The 303rd Division's 37mm combat artillery and 75mm infantry artillery fired immediately, and the officers and soldiers opened fire together.  The US military naively believed that the Northeast Army would not open fire in order to prevent accidental injuries to the Philippine police, but the soldiers of the Northeast Army did not care so much.  The U.S. troops who fought back were all suppressed in the open ground, without any cover to rely on, and they suffered almost one-sided massacre by the Northeastern Army.  Ten minutes later, the Northeastern Army stopped shooting. Thousands of wounded American soldiers fell into a pool of blood and a pile of dead people, crying and miserable.  The officers and soldiers of the 303rd Infantry Division rushed forward with bayonets brandished and easily captured a large number of American troops.  Commander Xu immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to treat the injured American soldiers, distribute biscuits and drinking water to the intact American prisoners, and then release them all.  The U.S. soldiers who desperately fled back to their own positions told their companions in shock that the Northeastern Army did not do all evil and liked to brutally kill prisoners and surrenderers as advertised by the officers.  In the next few days, under bombardment from naval guns and bombers, thousands of unmotivated soldiers of the US 35th Division dropped their guns and ran to the 303rd Division's position to surrender with their hands raised.

    Besieged at Surigao Ferry, Major General Walker Almond, commander of the 35th Division of the U.S. Army, and his thousands of remaining soldiers were cornered and surrounded on all sides.  On the sea were heavy cruisers and destroyers of the Northeastern Army, in the sky were bombers of the Northeastern Army, and on the land behind were the 303rd Division of the Northeastern Army swarming over. However, MacArthur's order to him was to "continue to hold on to Suri."  Gaodukou to contain the Northeastern Army on the South Road."  After dark, Major General Almond ordered the only dozen or so hospital ships marked with the Red Cross logo on the pier to give priority to the wounded soldiers across the sea to Leyte Island.  A large number of panic-stricken US soldiers began to lie on the ground and groan, trying to pretend to be wounded and slip through the border and take a hospital ship to escape from this place where there was no hope of survival.

    In addition to the wounded, Major General Almond also wanted to transport more than 2,000 American soldiers who died in the battle. After MacArthur learned about it, he immediately quarreled with him on the phone. He accused Almond of "wasting time."  Major General Almond's attitude was also very tough. He insisted that "no fallen American soldier should be allowed to lie rotting in the jungles of the Philippines, across the entire Pacific Ocean from his hometown."  While they were lingering and arguing, the 303rd Infantry Division of the Northeastern Army and the 288th Division, which followed, launched a full-scale attack on Surigao from the east and west directions.  Under the bright light of the flares, dozens of medium-sized tanks and armored vehicles of the Northeast Army rushed back and forth on the U.S. position, covering the infantry's heroic assault. The officers and soldiers killed the U.S. troops and the U.S. position was in chaos, and the entire dock was ablaze.  At dawn, amid the thundering cheers of the Northeastern army officers and soldiers, except for a few wounded soldiers of the U.S. 35th Army Division, which was evacuated to Leyte Island, the entire division became the first to be completely wiped out after fighting the Northeastern Army.  In the US military unit, more than 6,000 US soldiers were killed or captured by the Northeast Army. The division commander, Major General Walker Almond, was also captured in the command room. In addition, the Northeast Army soldiers also seized more than 400 US vehicles and more than 10,000 tons of supplies.

    On the 24th, Mindanao, the second largest island in the Philippines, was captured by the Northeastern Army; on the 25th, the 288th Division continued to clear out the resistance forces and Philippine guerrillas on the island, and with the assistance of local overseas Chinese organizations, it formed a Chinese garrison, the 303rd Infantry  The division and the 10th Marine Brigade were transported by naval cruisers across the Bohol Sea and landed on Negros Island and Panay Island respectively.

    On September 26, the refitted 1st Amphibious Landing Army of the Northeastern Army began to march towards Manila, aiming to completely annihilate the 34th and 40th Divisions of the US Army who were besieged in the city after their back roads were cut off.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
