Chapter 1172 1174 [Crossing the Sea]
Enter into four year one.
In January, the New Fourth Army was established.
In February, Germany invaded North Africa.
In April, Germany invaded the Balkans. Japan and the Soviet Union sign the Japan-Soviet Nonaggression Pact.
In the same month, Fuzhou fell.
In May, the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan started.
Because of insufficient preparation, the national army suffered a disastrous defeat, with more than 40,000 casualties and more than 30,000 prisoners. The Japanese army only killed or injured more than 3,000 people.
The defeat of this battle also had an extremely bad impact on the Northern War of Resistance.
In June, Germany tore up the "Non-Aggression Agreement" and invaded the Soviet Union.
In August, the United States and Britain signed the "Atlantic Charter", and the alliance was initially established.
September, the second battle of Changsha, the Japanese killed and injured more than 17,000 people.
In October, the defense of Moscow started.
The victory of this battle shattered the rumors that the German army was invincible.
December, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
The United States, which had been watching World War II, couldn't bear it, and finally declared war on Japan. The Second World War broke out in full swing.
…
Seeing the news of Dongyang's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing from ear to ear.
"It's really great." He patted Dafa.
"Ah, the Japanese caught the United States by surprise, and the United States' Pacific Fleet was almost wiped out. Why do you still say it's a good thing?" Zhou Qingquan asked suspiciously.
Zhang Yongcheng, Jin Shanxun, and Wu Chilin were also puzzled.
"You don't understand." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Although the Pacific Fleet was completely wiped out, the three most important aircraft carriers are all fine, so they are only injured, but they still have the strength to fight.
What is even more fortunate is that although the Japanese attacked the United States by chance, they also annoyed the Americans.
Do you know that although the United States has been clamoring against Farsis, it has actually been selling weapons, ammunition, steel, rubber, oil, etc. to the East for years. Otherwise, for such a small country in the East, with such poor resources, how could there be so many planes and cannons.
It’s all right now, it slapped the United States in the face, and the United States must no longer cooperate with it. As a result, the resources available to it will be greatly reduced. There is no steel for making guns, no fuel for driving, how can we fight wars?
What's more, the United States is not a vegetarian. Its army exceeds 12 million, and its annual production exceeds 100,000 aircraft and 40,000 tanks.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor this time caused the United States to lose 300,000 tons of war damage. However, the annual tonnage of ships built in the United States reaches 30 million tons, and a ship can be built in an average of forty-two days.
So if it gets involved with Dongyang, Dongyang won't be able to keep an eye on it at all. It's like Wu Chilin's sneak attack on me. Of course he succeeded, but when I react, I can also pin him to the ground and beat him.
So Dongyang seems to have won this time, but in fact it was blinded by profit and foolishness, and it provoked people it shouldn't have provoked. The day of destruction is just around the corner. "
After listening to Xiang Nan's explanation, everyone finally understood why he was laughing, and couldn't help being excited.
"Ah Wen, according to what you say, Dongyang will soon be destroyed?" Zhou Qingquan asked excitedly.
"Master, are we going to have a good life soon?" Wu Chi Lin also asked excitedly.
"It's not that easy." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "A centipede is dead but not stiff, Dongyang will definitely resist for a while.
And the days ahead are likely to be the darkness before dawn. Not only will they not restrain themselves, but they will become even more brutal and ruthless. So we have to be careful and wait patiently. But we must firmly believe that the darkness will eventually pass, and the dawn is ahead. "
…
Sure enough, a few days later, as Xiang Nan expected.
The Orientals actually attacked Xiangjiang and occupied Xiangjiang seventeen days later.
Xiangjiang was occupied, making Macau jump for a while.
Because Xiangjiang has always been closely related to Macau.
Macau's economy is heavily dependent on Hong Kong and the Mainland. Now the mainland has long been occupied, and now Xiangjiang has been invaded again, and Macau is isolated overseas, with no one to rely on, and it is in jeopardy.
What is even more frightening is that rumors spread in the market that the Japanese army will invade Macau in a few days. When the time comes, they will burn, kill and loot, leaving nothing behind.
Affected by this, everyone is in panic all day long. Even the brightly lit gambling halls and prostitute villages have become deserted.
Fortunately, the Japanese invasion was just a rumor, and the Japanese did not enter the city in the end.
However, the Orientals still set up a military officer's office in Macau, with power over the Governor's Office of Macau, supervising all affairs in Macau, just like the overlord.
The Orientals wantonly issued orders in Macau, closed down the Kuomintang institutions, prohibited the people from resisting Japan, recruited supplies, migrant workers, ships, and used ships flying the Portuguese flag to transport arms, etc.
They even tricked the refugees with rhetoric and abducted them to Hainan Island to build a military port. But often it is gone forever, I don't know whether it is dead or alive.
It can be said that the same is also a lot of evil, which is chilling.
…
After the Orientals set up the military office in Macau, they prohibited the public from conducting anti-Japanese propaganda, fundraising, and food collection.
Renji Pharmaceutical Factory was almost closed down because it had donated medicines to anti-Japanese groups. After that, it was thanks to Zhou Qingquan and Xiang Nan's repeated pleadings that they kept the company.
However, drugs needed by the military, such as Zhixue powder and Jinchuang medicine, are not allowed to be reproduced, and only drugs that have nothing to do with the military are allowed to be produced.
Xiang Nan has no choice but to produce stomach medicine, cough medicine, carminative oil, etc., barely sustaining.
Even so, they were investigated every few days, which seriously affected the business.
But facing the heavy pressure from the Orientals, Xiang Nan did not give in easily.
After thinking hard, he developed a new prescription. Stomach medicine for internal use is produced, but in fact, external application can also stop bleeding, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.
Through this method of deceiving the world, a large number of hemostatic drugs were produced, and they were sold all over the country in a grand manner, and a large number of injured soldiers and civilians were treated.
It also made Renji Pharmaceutical Factory famous far and wide.
…
Entered into 2042.
In January, more than 20 countries including China, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union signed the "Declaration of the United Nations". The World Anti-Farsis Alliance was formally established.
In the same month, the Orientals aggressively invaded Southeast Asia, successively capturing Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Myanmar, the Dutch East Indies and many other areas.
In addition, the third battle of Changsha started. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses, with nearly 60,000 casualties. The victory of this battle greatly encouraged the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in resisting Japan.
In February, the Japanese army air raided the Australasian government and captured Java, the Philippines, Manila and other places.
In May, the Battle of the Coral Sea. The Japanese army achieved a small victory, sinking the US aircraft carrier Lexington, an oil tanker, and a destroyer.
But in the long run, the Battle of the Coral Sea ruined the strategic plan of the Japanese army to control the sea passages in the South Pacific. So the Japanese army still failed.
In the same month, the Japanese army implemented the Sanguang policy, robbing food, money and people, in order to achieve the goal of supporting war with war.
It can also be seen from this point that the strategic resources of the Japanese army have been depleted due to offending the United States. That's why he tore off the mask of hypocrisy and revealed the face of the devil.
