Chapter 594
It is May, and the entire southern Myanmar battlefield has entered the final stage from the initial stalemate. The highly anticipated Yangon offensive and defensive battle has now become a unilateral encirclement.
The Japanese's outer defense lines were defeated one by one by one by the expeditionary army, like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly and continuously compressing the Japanese army's strategic space without giving the other party any chance to counterattack.
If the Japanese sea fleet had not had a certain amount of strength, their army's supplies would have been cut off long ago, and it would have been impossible for them to last until now.
But even so, the troops defending Yangon had a hard time. The supply ships on the Navy were easily threatened by British submarines, and the situation was very bad.
The unfavorable factors in recent days have made the top Japanese army leaders want to withdraw, but they don’t want to say such a simple way to retreat due to face.
This is the character of the Japanese. He wants to be a bitch and set up a archway. Even if I really can't stand it, I have to pretend to be a stubborn attitude that I'm fine.
So "His Majesty the Emperor was furious", and the old battalion began to turn the blame and look for someone to be scapegoats, saying that the military was the only one who insisted on defending Myanmar, and the unfavorable war was also the dereliction of duty by the senior commander of the Southern Army.
The senior Japanese Southern Army leaders led by Soichi Teraunuchi cursed in their hearts that it was not the turn of good things to take the blame and were pushed to the forefront. It was so damn disgusting.
However, since some people are proposing to withdraw their troops, they can also go with the flow. This is the case in Myanmar. If they continue to fight, they will not change the deterioration of the situation.
What's worse is the world situation. Now the Third Reich in Europe is setting sun, and the east and west defense lines have collapsed. The remaining head guards can only carry out their final resistance in Berlin.
On the 28th of last month, the Soviet Red Army entered the center of Berlin. At this time, the Red Army arrived at Potsdamer Platz, which was only one street from the Imperial Prime Minister's Office. On that night, Hitler orally told two wills in his 15-meter-deep basement.
In the political will, Hitler appointed Admiral Denitz as his "heir". In the life will, Hitler decided to marry Eva, who had been pursuing him for 17 years.
The situation was hopeless... When he thought of his doomsday, his face was blue and his whole body was trembling. The hero was at the end of his life, endless melancholy and unwillingness.
On April 30, Soviet Red Army soldiers planted the victory red flag on the top of the Imperial Capitol. At three o'clock the same afternoon, Hitler shot himself in his temple in the basement. The head of state's life's love... Aiwa committed suicide by taking poison.
Hitler ended his sinful and legendary life, and history ruthlessly nailed him to the pillar of shame forever.
On May 7, Denitz announced Germany's unconditional surrender. At 12:00 on the next night, the next day, the surrender letter was signed in front of representatives of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
On behalf of the signatories of the German Supreme Command, Denitz agreed to all German land, navy, air force and all troops still under Germany's control to surrender unconditionally to the Red Army Supreme Command and the Allied Expeditionary Force Supreme Command.
At this point, the European battlefield of World War II ended with the complete destruction of Hitler's German Third Reich.
Not to mention Italy, which surrendered early, there is only Japan that is lonely and hard to support in all fascist camps, and they are about to face all the pressure from the Allies.
Japan, which is also an Axis power, is still unwilling to face the fact that it is doomed to fail. As early as the beginning of the year, their base camp proposed the "100 million jade break" plan.
In fact, the Japanese government does not really intend to fight to the death and even if the country is destroyed, the politicians who are dissatisfied just don’t want to surrender directly to the Allies.
Because this will make them lose the qualification to bargain at the negotiating table, they must let the Allies see Japan's spirit of resistance, increase the difficulty of their invasion of Japan, and strive to drag the war into a stalemate, thereby obtaining the qualification for reciprocal negotiations.
After all, these ambition little dwarfs want to protect the fruits of victory plundered through war as much as possible. Even if they know that they are determined to lose, they will not accept it. If they can, they will take over if they can. At worst, they will do it again in the future, and even have wishful fantasies about victory.
In fact, at this time, Japan's population was only more than 73 million, which was a gap of nearly 30 million from 100 million. Including the people of colonies such as the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan, perhaps they could barely get this number.
Therefore, the 100 million slogans proposed by the base camp are the divisors, in order to enhance the imagination of the national power in the minds of the Japanese people and thus boost morale.
With such a perverted mentality, the Japanese military headquarters once again began to promote imperialist ideas and put forward the 100 million slogan slogan, in addition to winning the support of the domestic people, it is also a brainwashing of the colonial people.
They hope that these people can support their war of aggression and regard themselves as part of Japan.
However, the persecution of local people by the Japanese invaders made them not agree to join the Japanese camp at all. Therefore, although 100 million is the truth, one is just deceiving oneself.
The lives of the people are like grass in the mountains. The plan requires both the elderly and women to take up weapons and resist the landing American troops.
Under the guidance of this idea, the Japanese army used many incredible tactics on the Pacific battlefield, the most famous of which was the Kamikaze Special Attack Team.
The landing gear of the Japanese pilots flying the plane will automatically fall off after taking off, which makes them have to choose to fight to the end. Many aircraft are not even equipped with weapons, and their only function is to hit enemy planes or enemy ships and die with them.
Even if the "jade is broken" and dies, the "imperial kingdom" of Japan's territory must be immortal and the emperor's "imperial kingdom" will last forever.
This "100 million jade breaks" plan is not a reflection of national integrity and dignity, but Japanese militarism is crazy and cruel. For the sake of its military ambition, it regards its national livelihood as grass, and is truly anti-human!
To this day, the battle situation in Myanmar is difficult to reverse. The base camp believes that there is no need to fight to the death in Yangon again, because even if you win, you cannot regain large areas of Myanmar land. But if you lose, you will lose a lot, and it will be really not worth the loss.
Compared with Yangon, Singapore's strategic position is more important. Now the top Japanese military officials want to withdraw all the southern Myanmar troops back to Singapore in order to protect the Strait of Malacca, and at the same time provide a barrier for the local area to contain the US military in the Pacific.
Although they were all broken, they could save a little bit. The top Japanese military leaders were always very clamoring, but they actually knew more carefully than anyone else. Why can they play with 100 million jade pieces after all?
