The various press conferences in the past two days have completely numbed Song Yuhang, and he has been overwhelmed by the same questions from domestic reporters and the tricky and outlandish questions from reporters from allied countries.
"Rhetoric is not an empty slogan, it is the last cry of the martyrs, it is the place of honor of soldiers, and it is a blasphemy against the martyrs every day."
Song Yuhang left a group of reporters in a daze and returned to the rest hall.
Suddenly, Song Yuhang noticed that the atmosphere in the rest hall was very strange, and everyone was frowning and talking quietly.
A colonel surnamed Tan handed over a telegram-formatted report on the battle situation of the Allied High Command, and Song Yuhang's hand trembled a little when he held this not detailed war report.
Song Yuhang had in his hand the copy of two telegrams, the first was the battle report of the Coral Sea Sea battle that broke out between Japan and the United States in early May, and the second was the battle report of the famous Battle of Midway.
However, he clearly remembered that on April 30, 1942, the Japanese 5th Air Force, the 5th Cruiser Fleet, and 6 destroyers set off from Truk as mobile units and headed south between Havii and the New Guinea Islands, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the surface ships deployed by the Allied forces in the South Pacific.
Its landing cover formation consisted of the Xiangfeng light aircraft carrier, 8 cruisers, and 6 destroyers.
As a spearhead in the capture of the port of Morbiz, the advance landing force departing from Rabaul on 28 April, under the cover of the carrier-based aircraft of the Xiangfeng, occupied the small island of Tulagi on May without encountering resistance.
Subsequently, on 4 May, the main force of the landing force sailed from Rabaul to the port of Morbiz in 14 troop transports, under the cover of 6 destroyers and 1 cruiser.
The Xiangfeng and the covering ship that completed the Tulagi landing cover sailed westward to prepare for the landing force, while the 5th Air Force of the Mobile Force was stationed in the Coral Sea.
In fact, however, the 17th and 8th U.S. task forces had already entered the Coral Sea ahead of the Japanese mobile formation, and the famous Battle of the Coral Sea in the history of naval warfare took place.
In terms of tactical gains and losses, the Japanese Navy won a tactical victory in the Battle of the Coral Sea.
However, the Japanese Navy was forced to suspend the attack on Port Moresby due to the loss of aircraft and pilots, which could not be replenished immediately.
The two aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy's Fifth Air Force were supposed to participate in the Midway Project, but due to the damage to the Shozuru and the severe attrition of the Zuizuru, the Japanese were weakened in the upcoming Battle of Midway.
Then June 4, 194 in history.
The U.S.
Pacific Fleet inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese Combined Fleet at Midway, sinking 4 Japanese aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers, shooting down 150 Japanese fighters, and losing more than 3,500 Japanese soldiers.
The US military lost only one aircraft carrier "Yorktown" and one destroyer.
The battle marked an exchange of offensive and defensive positions between Japan and the United States in the Pacific theater.
It was the beginning of the gradual shift of the US military from strategic defense to strategic offensive.
Song Yuhang is very clear.
During the Battle of Midway between Japan and the United States.
The U.S. military ships and aircraft on the ground did not have an advantage over the Japanese army.
Although the U.S. military deciphered the Japanese code.
It was known in advance that the Japanese were going to attack Midway.
In the days when there were no satellites.
Aircraft carriers rely entirely on their own ground and ground reconnaissance planes in ground and sea battles, and can take the lead in discovering enemy ship formations.
Historically, the U.S. military discovered the location of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation in advance.
The attack was the first to be launched.
At this moment, the telegram handed over by the British Consulate in Song Yuhang's hand was clearly written.
In the Battle of Midway, the Japanese lost two aircraft carriers, Kaga and Akagi.
The U.S. military lost three aircraft carriers and 13 ships of the USS Enterprise in the interior.
And the first transcript of the war telegram about the Coral Sea and the sea allowed Song Yuhang to find the origin.
That is, the Japanese 5th Air Force did not participate in the Coral Sea Battle in time because of the supply area relationship, resulting in heavy losses for the Japanese 5th Cruiser Fleet participating in the Coral Sea Sea Battle.
Eight cruisers were sunk in the middle of the earth.
Two ships were heavily damaged.
"History, what's going on," Song Yuhang's telegram in his hand was crumpled into a ball by him.
Most of the Chinese generals in other places disagreed: "It's just a big deal that the Allies have lost the battle."
Is it worth our panic."
Song Yuhang, who was shocked into a cold sweat, did not see it that way, he knew that if the US military could not obtain sea and air supremacy in the Pacific region before August 1942, then a series of earth-shattering changes would take place in the world war situation, and if the Japanese army ran rampant in the Pacific Ocean, the first thing to bear the brunt would be the eastern Pacific route where the Soviet army received US aid supplies, and the far-reaching impact associated with it made Song Yuhang even dare not imagine, and the Japanese who received naval and air support would be even more difficult to defeat in Burma.
"What factors have influenced history?"
Song Yuhang was puzzled, and the hasty exit of Chiang Kai-shek and other high-ranking officials made him feel that perhaps the problem would be more serious than he imagined.
How did Song Yuhang know, in fact, this butterfly effect that flapped its wings changed history.
Song Yuhang had long forgotten that when he was fighting in Burma, he once led his troops to ambush a Japanese naval reconnaissance plane with machine guns, and the pilot of this reconnaissance and reconnaissance plane with the tail number of Maru 109 was the famous Lieutenant Heizaburo Tanouchi in history, who belonged to the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, and the key ten minutes of the defeat of the Japanese army in the naval battle of Midway Island between Japan and the United States was because Heizaburo Tanuchi ignored the gap in the clouds and did not discover the US fleet in time.

However, the hapless Heizaburo Tanouchi was shot down by Song Yuhang's troops during a routine reconnaissance to support the army in May, and his successor, Captain Kimura Heiji, was lucky enough to spot the American aircraft carrier formation before the deadly black ten minutes came, and although it was shot down by the American army, he sent this important information back to the Combined Fleet in time.
History took an unpredictable turn.
Although the U.S.
Naval Intelligence Agency, in close cooperation with the British and Dutch counterparts, successfully deciphered part of the code of the Japanese Navy's main communication system, the JN25, the Japanese Navy, which had six aircraft carriers and an absolute superiority in strength, was the first to discover the location of the U.S.
Task Force 16 and engaged in a melee with the arriving Task Force 17.
Although the Japanese paid the price of sinking the Kaga, seriously injuring the Akaryu, and sinking two cruisers, the Japanese army sank 13 ships in one fell swoop, including the three aircraft carriers USS Enterprise, USS Hornet, and USS Yorktown.
This result made Song Yuhang shudder, and the U.S. military, supported by superior intelligence, suffered heavy losses at Midway.
Armament and ships will soon be able to make up for the United States, which has a superior overall strength.
But experienced sailors and pilots could not compensate for it in the short term.
This means that the U.S.
Navy will return to defend the Hawaiian chain islands.
And the Japanese Navy really won absolute control of the Pacific Ocean for a short time.
The door of Australia had been opened to the Japanese, and the subsequent Battle of Kuah, MacArthur's leapfrog counteroffensive, seemed to be far away.
The defeat at Midway also made some pro-Japanese factions in the interior of the US Congress active, and they began to vigorously advocate the theory of a cease-fire cooperation between Japan and the United States.
Far across the Atlantic, Roosevelt waited for the sun in the darkness of dawn.
The defeat at Midway made Roosevelt realize that the war against fascism would probably be a protracted war, that the Germans on the Eastern Front were overwhelmed, that the Soviet power was in jeopardy, that even the Italians, who had been losing their armor, had won a few small prizes in North Africa.
Roosevelt realized the importance of that ancient country, and that it was necessary to provide effective assistance to China, and that they had to be able to drag the Japanese in their footsteps and buy vital time for the United States.
Due to the defeat in Burma, the elite except for the new 38th Division reached Indochina.
Chiang Kai-shek was even more annoyed by Stilwell, who had already arrived in Indochina, whose first thought of the chief of staff of the Chinese theater of operations when he arrived in India was not how to rescue the troops trapped in the vast primeval jungle.
Instead, he submitted a three-way return plan to his superior, Marshall.
Completely enraged by Stilwell's actions, Chiang Kai-shek yelled at his official residence in Chongqing: "Don't let a single soldier think about it" In order to appease the anger of the Chinese government, Curie, the special envoy of the President of the US Government, quickly came up with a very beautiful and delicious aid plan, which in the next two to three years will train four to six American divisions in Indochina, equip 18 to 30 American divisions in Kunming, and increase the air transport volume from the previous 400 tons per month to 5,000 tons within three months.
Grain and other strategic materials.
The Americans generously resolved Chiang Kai-shek's grievances, but they could not resolve Soong's anger.
Because he knew that the four major families representing the interests of China at this time were secretly communicating, and they were ready to share the profits brought by these weapons and materials exchanged for the blood of Chinese officers and soldiers.
When the soldiers on the front line were shedding blood and sacrificing for the interests of the so-called allies, the people in the rear were not able to eat, and they were fighting a life-and-death battle for the freedom and independence of the country and the nation under the oppression of the old powers, Song Yuhang did not dare to imagine that there were still people who were making a fortune at this time Even those martyrs exchanged their blood for weapons and equipment, and some people dared to make up their minds, but these guys who could make a fortune were all unprovoked by Song Yuhang.
Out of sight and out of mind, after leaving behind the cruel words that if anyone dares to send Lao Tzu in the slightest, Lao Tzu slaughtered his whole family, Song Yuhang decided to go and see the family in Xiao Nanjing, who sacrificed in Tonggu to cover himself.
During this period, the official appointment of Song Yuhang's department was completed, and the 200th Mechanized Regiment directly under the Military Commission of the National Revolutionary Army was reorganized into the 200th Mechanized Brigade.
Song Yuhang was appointed lieutenant general and brigade commander, and after the troops were replenished on a priority basis, they waited for the transfer of weapons and equipment in Kunming.
"Brigade Commander" Song Yuhang's first consideration was whether someone had the audacity to divide his own equipment, but the specific establishment of the 200th Mechanized Brigade had not been decided, and Song Yuhang, who hurriedly prepared his suits and rushed back to Kunming, learned that the Ministry of Military Affairs had only issued an appointment, and the specific establishment had not yet been issued.
Cui Zhijun, who had a big beard, began to teach a new brigade about the preparation of the cats, Cui Zhijun slowly took a sip of tea and said: "The words in this preparation are big, for example, it is also a regiment of the first type."
The small regiment of three battalions has about 2,600 guns.
The large regiment with reinforced artillery firepower is a five-battalion system, with 5,000 people at the top and bottom, and the biggest is at the brigade level.
The small brigade is only more than 1,800 people, and the large brigade has no less than 10,000 people, so you don't have to be impatient, we are a subordinate unit of the Military Commission, and no one dares to grab your bones. ” By the time Song Yuhang realized that the word bone was inappropriate, Cui Zhijun had already disappeared without a trace.
After staying in Kunming for two days to visit the troops, Song Yuhang, who thought that it was better to stay in Kunming than to return to Chongqing, decided to return to Chongqing.
On the train, Song Yuhang decided to go to Chongqing first to visit the only relatives in Xiaonan, who sacrificed to protect himself.
I found out that Xiao Nanjing's sister was studying at Jinling Women's College.
Song Yuhang told Xu Tuan to arrange the itinerary, and Song Yuhang, who was bored in the car, suddenly asked: "Isn't Jinling Women's College in Nanjing, but it is a Japanese-occupied area?"
After speaking, Song Yuhang looked at Xu Tuan in confusion.
Xu Tuan had to patiently explain to Song Yuhang: "Jinling Women's College is indeed in Nanjing, but after the Battle of Liaohu, it was taken to Chongqing, where most of the children of government officials and diplomats in China are studied, and it is an international school that only accepts girls. ” "Oh" Song Yuhang nodded and said, "If I knew it, I wouldn't toss, just wait in Chongqing."
Now I have to go back. ” Xu Tu said with peace of mind: "I don't know which gentleman rushed to Kunming in a hurry, but when I arrived, I realized that the establishment of the Ministry of Military Affairs had not been implemented at all." ” After gifting the last group of members of the British Far East Senior Officers' Staff Corps, Cui Zhijun and the others were also idle, and they just returned to Chongqing with Song Yuhang to relax their eyes.
Although Song Yuhang instructed the Quartermaster Department to send money to the address where Xiao Nanjing had mailed money before, and raised the original standard of 5 and a half yuan a month to 20 yuan, although he was questioned by a letter from the school in Chongqing, it was explained that Xiao Nanjing was promoted to platoon commander because of his combat bravery.
The secretariat is responsible for replying to the letters every month, and Song Yuhang is more curious about the sister he is going to meet now.
For the sake of cramming.
Song Yuhang read all the girl's letters one by one, and the juanxiu Xiaokai reached a pleasing step, revealing between the lines the desire to kill and avenge his brother.
Xu Tu comfortably flicked the colonel's uniform with no trace of dust on his body.

While carefully rubbing the three little stars on the collar badge with a handkerchief.
Sitting in the box opposite Xu Tu'an, Cui Zhijun couldn't see Xu Tu'an's villainous expression, snorted heavily, and turned his head out of the window.
Xu Tu'an didn't care about Cui Zhijun's contempt and ignorance at all, and when he was promoted to colonel, he looked at Song Yuhang who was reading the letter carefully, and hesitated for a moment: "Let's entrust the Political Department to convey the news."
Song Yuhang put the letter away, sighed slightly, and said: "Since the Anti-Japanese War, my soldiers have died more than one million in battle, and countless people have been wounded, who cares about the news of a soldier's death, since I can't reverse this trend, I can only do my best."
Cui Zhijun looked at Song Yuhang and said with a straight face: "How many can you take care of, it seems that even you yourself are riddled with debts." ” Song Yuhang leaned back very casually and said, "I am going to set up a fund recently to help the dead and wounded veterans, and I have to invite the old man and a few other gods for this." ” Song Yuhang's words made Cui Zhijun and Xu Tuan's eyes light up at the same time.
But Song Yuhang immediately closed his mouth and shouted, a little hungry Naturally, there will be nothing delicious on the train, Song Yuhang was surprised to find that many people actually brought a lot of exquisite snacks and fruits, he knew that he could take the train in the box these years, and he was naturally not an ordinary person, so he had no choice but to eat something.
The so-called dining car only has a pre-prepared lunch box, and the locomotive sliding forward at a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour makes Song Yuhang speechless.
Maybe Song Yuhang's luck is too good, there are many ordinary people selling chickens and ducks for two cents a chicken and duck by the stop-and-go train, which reminds Song Yuhang of the days of more than ten yuan a pound in later generations, and shouts again and again that it is cheap.
No fiat currency, just the ocean.
A shrewd vendor is negotiating with Xu Tu'an.
The white ocean drove the farmers and traders on the side of the road crazy, and suddenly, a little girl carrying a basket fell on the roadbed, and there was a sound of glass cracking, and then a middle-aged man rushed up and punched and kicked the little girl.
Song Yuhang, who couldn't see this situation the most, walked a few steps quickly, jumped down the door of the dining car, and went straight to the man who beat people.
Brigade Commander Xu Tu'an, who was under the car, rubbed his eyes in surprise, then got up with a loud voice and drew his pistol while beckoning the guard squad to immediately control the front of the car to stop, and led the six guards to jump off the train.
Look at the passengers who magically drew their submachine guns.
There was a sudden silence in the dining car When the fierce Song Yuhang kicked the thin middle-aged man to the ground.
He pulled out a Browning pistol and pointed it at the frightened middle-aged man.
"Sir, don't, sir," the middle-aged man who fell to the ground waved his hands weakly.
The arrival of Xu Tu'an and the others frightened the vendors to squat on the ground, and then Song Yuhang found a pair of dark and rough little hands hugging his thighs.
The little girl with tears on her face cried, "Sir, don't beat my father.
It's all bad for Yaya, and it broke the wine that was exchanged for money to see my mother."
Song Yuhang was suddenly petrified, Mu Ran squatted down and hugged the little thin girl, these plots that should have appeared in film and television works actually appeared in front of him, and the pride of rescuing the little girl from the bully like a hero just now suddenly disappeared.
After throwing the dozens of pieces of ocean in his pocket to the middle-aged man, Song Yuhang just muttered: "Treat the child well" Then he turned to leave, and the train controlled by the guards also began to reverse, and Xu Tuan, who was following behind, took the opportunity to buy dozens of chickens and ducks.
The middle-aged man knelt on the side of the road with the child in tears, and kept kowtowing to Song Yuhang's back.
As soon as I returned to the dining car, I happened to meet a woman with a thin voice and two maids speaking an unknown dialect and asking the conductor why he stopped.
"I can't afford to lose money if I delay our master's business and sell you, do you know who our master does business with, say it and scare you people to death" The woman with a thin voice was almost jumping to her feet and shouting to the conductor, and the people in the dining car were obviously helpless against its noise, and seemed very helpless.
Song Yuhang, who was in an irritable mood, pushed away the woman who was in the way, the woman was obviously not familiar with military ranks, etc., if she knew that it was a young general who was popular all over the country at the moment, an anti-Japanese hero, she would not have done something that she regretted extremely much.
The woman screamed: "Whoever you touch, who is in charge, someone bullies me" A fat man with a fat head and big ears who had been closing his eyes and recuperating stood up, and the fat man's slitted triangular eyes hadn't seen Song Yuhang's appearance clearly, and he received a big slap on Song Yuhang's face.
As soon as the two bodyguards in the same platoon got up, they were immediately pushed back to their seats by two submachine guns. was hit by a sudden big slap and the big fat man struggled to stand up halfway, and was slapped back to his original seat by a more violent slap, and then slapped more than a dozen times in a row, and the big fat man shrank to the innermost end of the seat, and the woman with a thin voice looked at Song Yuhang's back with frightened eyes at this moment.
Between the hand beating a little painful, Song Yuhang asked for a submachine gun, and smashed it with the butt of the gun to cover his face, at this moment, in addition to the clanging sound of the train, there was only the muffled sound of the butt touching the flesh and the painful moaning of the big fat man, and the people in the carriage looked at Song Yuhang fiercely.
To be honest, this chapter of the little horse is a little uneasy, after all, such a big turn has been arranged, but for the follow-up content, for the Chinese can really go on an expedition, this is also a must, so please allow the little ride to get y
