Chapter 356: Pick the biggest one and beat them!
"What did you say? The Chinese army attacked Luzon Island? Have they captured the beachhead?" At the Japanese military headquarters, Heitaro Kimura looked at the secretary in front of him, his eyes filled with fear.

Everyone knows the importance of Luzon Island. If it is lost, it means that their logistical supply lines will be within the enemy's attack range.

As long as there are hundreds of fighter jets deployed, all the warships passing by will be under the enemy's attack.

Moreover, this logistical lifeline has been controlled by someone, and the impact it brings is really too great.

Thinking of this, Heitaro Kimura broke out in a cold sweat.

Even though he is the Undersecretary of the Army, his power is actually not as great as imagined.

"Mr. Deputy Minister, should we report this to the Chief Minister?" the secretary asked hesitantly, looking at Kimura Heitaro who was still in a daze.

Hearing this, Kimura Heitaro wanted to keep it a secret for a moment, but he quickly rejected the idea.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret for long. Thinking of this, Kimura Heitaro picked up the telegram and walked towards Hideki Tojo's office.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is something I need to report to you." Heitaro Kimura said respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Hideki Tojo looked worried. There had been problems on various battlefields recently, so naturally he was the one who got scolded the most.

Who made him also serve as Minister of War?
In name, the army is still under his control.

So if he doesn't get scolded, who will get scolded?
"The Chinese army suddenly attacked Luzon Island a few days ago and has successfully occupied the beachhead. This is the telegram from the Southern Army." Heitaro Kimura could only bite the bullet and report.

"What?" Hideki Tojo was confused. The Chinese army landed on Luzon Island?

Are you kidding him?
When did the Chinese army become so powerful?

However, looking at Kimura Heitaro's expression, which obviously did not seem fake, Tojo Hideki asked while suppressing his anger.

"what is going on?"

"Mr. Prime Minister, I don't know the specific situation. The Special High Police did not receive any news about the Chinese army's landing. If it weren't for the telegram sent back by the Southern Army, I'm afraid we wouldn't know about it." Kimura Heitaro is not stupid, so he naturally can't take the blame, mainly because he can't do it.

So we can only put the blame on the intelligence agencies.

"Didn't the Special High Police give any warning?" Hideki Tojo asked with a gloomy face.

"Hai." Kimura Heitaro said respectfully.

"Baga, arrest the head of the Special High Police immediately and come with me to see His Majesty the Emperor now. This matter must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor." Tojo Hideki was silent for a while. If it was just a small matter, he might have concealed it, but the importance of Luzon Island was too great.

"Mr. Prime Minister, should we wait a little longer? Now the Chinese army has only occupied the beachhead and has not immediately taken Luzon Island. If this disturbs His Majesty the Emperor, will it be our fault?" Kimura Heitaro said with a stiff upper lip.

Hideki Tojo, who was originally ready to get angry, thought about it and realized it made sense.

If the garrison can drive the enemy into the sea, there is no need to report.

Moreover, the Emperor is already very dissatisfied with him. If he adds more trouble at this time, he might even lose his position as Prime Minister.

Thinking about how I paid a huge price to get this position, I would be in trouble if I step down.

I'm afraid nothing good will come of it for me.

Looking at the silent Hideki Tojo, Heitaro Kimura, who was familiar with him, knew that there was still hope for this matter and spoke immediately.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I will immediately urge the Southern Army to find a way to draw reinforcements and drive the Chinese Army into the sea."

"Yoshi." Hideki Tojo nodded and then said another sentence.

"Remember, you must drive the Chinese army into the sea at all costs. I'm sure you know the importance of Luzon Island."

"Yes." Kimura Heitaro responded quickly.

"Go." Hideki Tojo waved his hand, motioning him to go out first, and sighed lightly.

Ever since the war with the Americans broke out, he clearly felt that the national strength of the Empire of Japan was declining.

Thinking about it now, I shouldn’t have been so hasty in going south.

But no way.

Various forces were forcing them to move south.

The German army also forced them to cancel all kinds of cooperation if they did not move south.

Later, America also forced them and directly cut off their oil and steel supplies.

There are also internal forces clamoring to move south.

He also rose to become the Prime Minister by chance.

Now as it declines, many things are beginning to backfire.

He can clearly see his own path in the future.

I'm afraid it won't end well.

Looking at the figure of Kimura Heitaro, Hideki Tojo swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Immediately urge the Southern Army to find a way to drive the Chinese Army into the sea. Their hundreds of thousands of troops are not here to watch the show." Kimura Heitaro looked at the secretary in front of him and said.

"Hay."

"Tell them not to tell me about difficulties. Even if it costs lives, they must drive the Chinese army into the sea. Luzon Island must not be lost."

"Hay."

Tsukada Ko, who was full of expectations, was stunned when he received the telegram.

There are no reinforcements.

Let the Southern Army figure it out on their own, how can I figure it out?
Using human lives as a pile?

Ok!

It’s really a pile of lives!

Seeing this, Tsukada Ko had no other choice but to find a way to transfer three Class C divisions to Luzon Island. At the same time, he ordered the 23rd Division to not let the Chinese Army advance any further at all costs.

To put it bluntly, we must block them on the beachhead and never let them advance any further.

Otherwise, Luzon Island will really be lost.

Once it's gone, I'm afraid a lot of people will be in trouble.

So he could only get ruthless.

…………

The landing was in full swing here, on the other side, at Port Said.

The German army, which had already entered Port Said, ultimately failed.

Because at that time Montgomery was about to jump into the sea.

I really want to jump into the sea. I'm already at the beach.

As a result, we saw the fleet led by Sir Somerville arrive at Port Said.

With the help of naval guns, the German army had no choice but to withdraw from the port again.

There is no way. When facing naval guns, especially battleships, a single shot can really take away a large area of ​​people.

As long as the commander is not a fool, he will definitely not let his subordinates continue to attack.

There was no way out, Rommel could only feel angry and grit his teeth.

After knowing that his attack had failed, Rommel began to reorganize his men.

The main thing is that after taking over the military power of the Italian army, he wants to check the Italian army's battle record.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Who knew that the Italian army's performance was indeed beyond his expectations.

You have to know that the Italian army had no intention of fighting at the beginning. When they encountered the British army, they retreated.

This retreat was directly out of Egypt. Not only that, the British army also took advantage of the situation to attack Libya.

This is also the reason why the morale of British troops in North Africa has always been very high.

After Rommel took over, the Italian army was still very weak, but fortunately the German army was more competitive.

They fought quite well and repelled the British troops that had invaded Libya.

He then set about reorganizing the Italian army. This is the result of the reorganization.

"The performance this time was pretty good, a little better than those military police, but it's still not enough." Rommel was speechless.

The original Italian army was not even as good as the German second-line troops. If it were in Germany, it would probably not even be as good as the military and police.

"Marshal, what should we do now?" the adjutant asked when he saw that Rommel was not in a good mood.

"What else can we do? Let them follow us as long as they don't hold us back." Rommel decided to let them guard the prisoners and garrison the city. They were really not suitable for battlefield operations.

I guess they are only suitable for doing these jobs.

Even though the Italian army was trained by German advisers, their combat effectiveness could not be improved.

If Italy's geographical location was not so important, if he were given another chance, he would definitely refuse to cooperate with the Italian army.

"Yes!"

"Let's retreat to Cairo first, rest for a while, and wait for logistical supplies." Rommel took a deep breath. Temporary failure is not important. They still have hope.

When reinforcements arrive, especially the oil from Libya's oil fields, it means that more support can be provided from the homeland.

Thinking of this, Rommel's confidence in fighting returned again.

He looked at Port Said with unwilling eyes, determined to drive all the British troops into the sea next time.

…………

In Hanoi, Cun Yunsheng has been very busy recently. Apart from military affairs, he has let go of all other matters related to people's livelihood. He no longer cares about them and at most he would ask about them occasionally.

Malaysia is still advancing steadily, with the main losses being on the indigenous people and the Japanese army.

At present, the performance of the natives is okay. As a fill-in baby, they are still efficient.

They had advanced at least ten kilometers, which made Cun Yunsheng very satisfied.

At this time, his energy was focused on another matter.

That is the information about the V2 missiles exchanged from the German army, as well as the fuel and equipment for production, etc.

The German army originally rejected this condition, but the conditions given by Cun Yunsheng were really difficult to resolve.

Especially when they learned that the US military's super bomb research speed was far faster than theirs, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to his conditions.

Relying on the German army's technology, equipment, and data, as well as a number of engineers and the aerospace talents accumulated on their side.

The rocket research team under Cun Yunsheng is considered to be the best in the world.

The first one must be the Germans, and the second one is myself.

"Can it be mass-produced?" Cun Yunsheng asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"Are you sure?" Cun Yunsheng asked again.

"Yes, but it's a bit expensive, and the error is a bit large. But it's definitely better than the original error of several thousand meters."

When studying this thing, Cun Yunsheng required that the error must be shortened to within a few dozen meters, or at most a hundred meters.

It's only a thousand meters long, and it's also very expensive. He can't afford it at all.

The reason for developing rockets is to develop jet engines.

These two are coherent.

If this thing can be figured out, it means jet engines can also be solved.

This is why Cun Yunsheng is willing to spend a huge price.

Otherwise, you are out of your mind. Why waste this money?

The German expert introduced it excitedly. According to him, this missile is the V2, or an enhanced version.

Because the fuel has become more stable, the cost has also become much cheaper.

Looking at the missiles in front of him, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but take a breath. These Germans are really powerful.

Really got it out for them.

If this were taken out, it would definitely be a killer weapon.

"Two thousand pounds of high explosives?" Cun Yunsheng felt a little scared after hearing this.

In this era, it is definitely a groundbreaking weapon.

Moreover, the accuracy has also been improved, which means that if he deploys this thing in Malaysia, it may be able to directly hit Singapore.

Not bad!

really not bad!
The price is a bit expensive.

Even if the cost is much cheaper, it is still expensive.

The cost of almost one missile is enough to equip an entire battalion.

This price made his scalp tingle.

And many raw materials need to be obtained from Germany.

Fortunately, he has already started to ask people to solve the problem of raw materials.

As long as the raw materials are solved, the price can be lowered further.

As long as the missile can mature, there will be more things that can be researched in the future, such as cruise missiles, air-to-air missiles, and air-to-ground missiles.

"Can missiles be installed on fighter jets?" Cun Yunsheng asked.

"Install missiles on airplanes?" German experts were shocked by Cun Yunsheng's imagination.

"In that case, our aircraft may not be able to withstand it. Even if we shorten the size of the missile, the current aircraft simply cannot withstand it." The German expert thought for a moment and spoke.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng said calmly.

"I think you should be aware that the success of the rocket project means that the technology of jet engines has also been improved. The new fighter plane you are researching should be dominated by rocket engines, and its speed should be far faster than the current fighter planes."

"As long as the fighter jet has enough thrust, it can carry missiles."

"The pattern of future warfare will undergo new changes due to the emergence of missiles."

This thing is deployed in Lion City. Would passing warships dare to wander around?
If one is not enough, then ten.

The problem of guidance can also introduce radar waves.

Pick up the biggest one and beat it.

At this time, the largest ones are definitely battleships and aircraft carriers.

It’s exciting just thinking about it.

"Have new changes occurred?" The German engineer was a little confused.

"That's right. Missiles will be the mainstream of warfare in the future. They will be equipped on airplanes, warships, and submarines. There will never be any battleship confrontations again." Cun Yunsheng spoke about the future war mode.

His words left many people confused.

This is really incredible.

Is this possible?

"Okay, what you need to do is to produce cheaper missiles as soon as possible. It would be best if you can add some guidance, such as using our radar technology. Wouldn't this increase the accuracy of the missiles?" Cun Yunsheng once again put forward his opinion.

"In this case, it is too difficult. It would be difficult with our current technology." The German engineer said with embarrassment.

"I'm not asking you to figure it out right now, but I'm asking you to take this as a direction." Cun Yunsheng shook his head. He didn't expect to figure it out in a short time. He could still wait slowly.

By then, this thing can also carry satellites into space. When Cun Yunsheng thought of the Germans' black technology, he couldn't help but admire them. What kind of brains did they have to come up with these things?

But I have to say that the black technology they come up with is indeed very advanced.

"Yes, we understand." The German engineer nodded, and the students who were stuffed in by Cun Yunsheng behind him were even more excited. They didn't expect that one day they would become the maker of a groundbreaking weapon.
