10002622 A large number of new equipment of the German army has begun to be reequipped with the Wehrmacht after the SS has been reequipped, and the German army seems to be secretly preparing something, and the British army in the Middle East theater is still breathing with the support of the American army, although Montgomery, who is firmly on the ground, is not enough to attack, but the defense is a first-class positional warfare expert, and Rommel, who is seriously lacking in troops, also seems to have no strength to beat the water dogs.
The series of bloody battles in the Pacific Theater came to an end.
The United States, which has completely grasped the initiative in the war, frequently dispatched bombers to carry out intensive large-scale bombing of the Japanese mainland, in order to achieve the goal of rapidly weakening Japan's war potential; the Japanese who used to take to the streets to celebrate the bombing of other countries' capitals and massacres of other people's people have now learned how to quickly drill air-raid shelters, and retribution can be described as fast and fierce.
Because the Allied forces were approaching in the Pacific, the Japanese were like a mad dog on the battlefields of India and China, biting people when they saw them, and they were completely desperate.
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the first main forces of the Second Mechanized Army and the Third Mechanized Army arrived in Melbourne, Australia, accompanied by all the belongings of the Chinese Navy, on a US transport ship.
Liang Chao and Qi Baiming were very satisfied with the arrangement of the US side, after all, the troops were scattered on various small islands, which made many officers and soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force very unaccustomed.
The man was not far from madness.
Liang Chao heard that Melbourne's climate is a subtropical and temperate climate, the hottest month is usually below the mutual degree, and the coldest month is between 3 degrees and the old degree, but it is rainy all year round, and it belongs to the temperate oceanic climate, and this kind of climate is very suitable for the officers and men of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Qi Baiming instructed the adjutant beside him: "Inform the military police battalion of the military headquarters to land first, and the follow-up troops can only disembark and line up after checking the military appearance and discipline.
The headquarters above the regimental level lined up to carry the battle flag Liang Chao nodded and said, "We must not lose the prestige of our squadron."
How did Liang Chao and Qi Baiming know that when the Marine Division of the US Army came, it was like a fleeing, one by one, in addition to drinking and making trouble, they robbed women and fought, which made Melbourne into a miasma, and this time they heard that the squadron was going to come to two armies, which frightened Melbourne himself, but more people saw business opportunities.
As a result, a large number of controlled items, whiskey, and old women poured into Melbourne, because people from all walks of life had already received the news that these Chinese soldiers were earning real dollars, and their salaries were much higher than those of the same American troops.
Liang Chao's adjutant Wang Hai is a graduate of Yenching University, once came to Melbourne, before the ship entered the port, he began to introduce Melbourne to Liang Chao: "Melbourne heart spider is the capital and largest city of Victoria, Australia's second largest city" 7 years ago, Melbourne used to be the capital of Australia, and later Australia moved its capital to Canberra.
Melbourne is known for its culture, greenery, fashion, food, entertainment and sporting activities.
Melbourne's green cover is as high as the ship.
Victorian buildings, trams, opera houses, galleries, museums, and tree-lined gardens and streets make up Melbourne's elegant style. ” In Liang Chao's opinion, Wang Hai is simply a living map, but there is one thing that Wang Hai does not know, with the spread and expansion of the war, and the continuous defeat of the British army.
As a member of the British Commonwealth, Australia has more than 30 brigades of Australian troops sent to the front lines in North Africa and India, and more young people from Austria have joined the British army.
Melbourne, where there is a shortage of men in Qingdong, has welcomed the arrival of two Marine Divisions of the United States Army before, and the local Americans can be said to be notorious, but the natural yearning for romance and automatic Australian women is indeed very different from their elders, they like the bohemian attitude of American GIs.
Victoria is an important producer of Australian cheese, wine, meat, fish, fruit and game.
Because of its abundance and long food culture, Melbourne has naturally become a food paradise, but as the war progressed, the influx of a large number of immigrants and the government's wartime management made the originally well-fed Melburn himself feel that the tense days were so difficult, and the small sausages and lamb shanks in the past have become authentic luxuries, and in Melbourne only American GIs can get them except for some powerful people.
Soon the docks were filled with welcoming crowds, a large number of reporters were waiting here, because Australia is a member of the British Commonwealth, the arrival of the Chinese expeditionary force, which has always had a very unfriendly attitude towards Britain, made them see the opportunity to make the Chinese ugly, the ragged Americans almost showed their ass, and many people wondered what the Chinese would be like.
The sheer convoy of convoys on the sea delighted the speculators who were ready to make a fortune in Melbourne, while families with girls were quick to figure out how to send their children away from the limelight.
Immediately after the first batch of transport ships calling at the port left, there was a line of ships, and the officers and men of the Chinese expeditionary who were full of spirit and high spirits walked down from under the ships in three neat columns, stepped on the wharf and became a six-way column, and then joined the company The neat festive parade change was greeted by warm applause from Melburnians themselves, glowing bayonets, new combat uniforms and combat vests.
The hissing assault rifles they had never seen before, the majestic soldiers, the serious expressions and murderous steps, all of this seemed very new to the Melburnians themselves.
The soldiers of the 80th Reserve Infantry Brigade of Australia, who were on guard on the side of the road, looked like chickens with chicken plague, and their heads were lowered listlessly, as if they had all dropped their wallets, no matter what the officers shouted and screamed, and even jumped.
They still look like they're doing their own thing, half-dead.
The mayor of Melbourne City, Maddie, said to Lukeberg, a member of the mobilization committee next to him: "This is the real victorious army, the mighty army, this bone-chilling momentum, if the British army has a third of them, not a fifth, we don't have to send our young men to the battlefield to be slaughtered."
"Oh my God, Maddie, be quiet" Lukeberg quickly tugged on Maddie's sleeve, and Maddie said with a nonchalant expression: "I'm telling the truth, just three months of training to send those young men who have only fired two bullets to the battlefield, that is a crime, a premeditated massacre" Apparently.
The strength of the officers and soldiers of the Chinese expeditionary force deeply hurt the fragile self-esteem of Mayor Mai, what is a soldier, Maddie has a little understanding today, unlike those American GIs who see themselves as saviors, these Chinese expeditionary forces are the unknown protagonists.
Mai had a plan in mind that seemed to be very difficult.
He wanted the Chinese Expeditionary Force to help him train the reservists at the Mobilization Committee, which, if possible, should increase the chances that the lads would make it alive.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force did not use the small trucks provided by the United States, because the number of trucks was really insufficient, Liang Chao and Qi Baiming decided to cross most of Melbourne City on foot to the concentration camp area, one was to avoid confusion caused by heavily armed Chinese soldiers, and the other was to show the might of the Chinese.
After the first Chinese officers and soldiers were stationed at Melbourne's largest football stadium.
Baseball stadiums, basketball courts, and various stadiums have all become temporary camps for the Chinese Expeditionary Force, but there are still no more than two Chinese officers and soldiers of the mechanized army, so in order to curry favor with the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Melbourne Division Commander Maddie took the initiative to propose whether to let some soldiers stay in residents' homes first, and wait for the tents to arrive later tomorrow after the arrangements will be made.
Qi Baiming and Liang Chao politely declined the kindness of the mayor of Melbourne, this is simply a joke, these young men of the bloody square network live in the homes of ordinary people, and some of the highly educated officers and soldiers can also use English to talk fluently with Americans.
It would be difficult to explain if there was a big or minor incident, and Qi Baiming and Liang Chao were very clear.
Song Yuhang's requirements in terms of military discipline can be said to be completely two.
Extreme.
It is an extreme to treat those Japanese soldiers who are aggressive and brutal, and it is also an extreme to treat the people at home.
And the principle of everything is that there must be orders, whether it is the disposal of Japanese prisoners of war, or any action large or small, everything must be based on the orders of the superiors, and orders are everything.
Obedience to orders is the first criterion of life and death for the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
The same is something that no one can surpass Qi Baiming and Liang Chao reported the matter of stationing their troops to Song Yuhang, who was on the front line in Guangzhou, and Song Yuhang was quite satisfied with the arrangements made by the US side, but he had no skills to separate himself, and Truman had already invited him to the United States for the second time to study the issue of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's armament and troop expansion.
On the issue of armament, although Truman and Marshall agreed on the armament of the 30 lightly armed divisions of the Chinese government for the expedition, Truman hoped that these weapons and equipment would be strictly monitored and controlled, and that all American aid would be ineffective and effectively used in the war against fascist Japan.
It is clear that although Truman supported the proposal for large-scale free assistance to the squadrons, his opinion was that these armed units must be within the formation sequence of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Moreover, the commander of this army must be a general like Song Yuhang who has a sense of the overall international situation, is open, democratic, young and energetic, and has no dictatorship mentality, and this army must also be subordinated to the war needs of the Allied Powers in the future and undertake the combat missions entrusted by the Allied Powers.

Of course, these missions were mainly to fight the Japanese in the Asian region.
Song Yuhang, who was standing in the building of the Guangzhou Garrison Headquarters, was looking at the direction of Hong Kong, he felt very, very disappointed after going to Hong Kong in the past few days, he didn't understand what was worth the British nostalgia in such a dirty and messy place, and the only good party was the Governor's Villa, but it had become Ye's temporary office, smoking a British cigar.
Sipping Japanese sake and overlooking Victoria Harbour, Hagawa's life was much more nourishing than he had imagined.
Song Yuhang knew that Hong Kong at this time was far from the Hong Kong of later generations.
This is because the historical opportunity for Hong Kong's development has not yet arrived.
Only external factors and changes in the general environment can contribute to the rapid development of Hong Kong, and the British will definitely not invest any money to build overseas territories, what they have to do is to continue to suck blood, otherwise just one, a small British island, what to feed the world's largest fleet Due to the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the battle in Guilin has completely entered a state of stalemate, Li Zongren's left route army has fully entered the defense, while the middle route army of Kouxiaxi is still meritorious and defensive, and a strategic offensive is hard to chew Ding Chengluo's defense.
Song Yuhang is really a little helpless.
It turned out that Song Yuhang did not have a deep feeling about the overall education of the people.
Through repeated battles with the Japanese army, he understood why later generations said that education is the foundation of everything, for China, where the total population of agricultural people is above the total population, the foolish people are between illiterate and semi-literate, and Song Yuhang was extremely shocked that the so-called standard of semi-literacy is to be able to write his own name Song Yuhang was also quite dissatisfied with the practice of arresting or forming a company with a village and a regiment with a town in the conscription of many troops.
Song Yuhang discovered the mystery and sorrow.
Ordinary people are illiterate and uneducated, how can they talk about patriotism, this is obviously very ridiculous, patriotism in the narrow sense and patriotism in the broad sense, these scholars talk about things like the Tao, how to instill in the ordinary people who face the loess all year round, face the loess with their backs to the sky, and struggle desperately for life, they are already destitute, and they have to sacrifice their lives These soldiers who were forcibly brought in had no idea what they were fighting for, what little Japan was like, where it was, and why this damn war was happening.
These simple to the stupid people have been completely numb, as long as there is a broken house to keep out the cold, there is a mouthful of food and do not starve to death, they can completely continue to live innumbly, they do not know their so-called rights and interests, let alone how to fight, their ancestors have lived in a piece of land for generations, when the country is facing aggression, the nation is in danger of life and death, all they are concerned about is their own land and house, only they have suffered personal pain, they will rise up to resist, Even some people don't even have the courage to resist, and even more so they act as traitors, lackeys and traitors, Song Yuhang can hardly imagine that such a soldier and an army composed of such soldiers will have combat effectiveness The indifference and numbness of the Chinese people made Song Yuhang's heart ache small, and the only thing that comforted him was the enthusiasm of the young students to serve the country.
From the perspective of extreme reality and cruelty, if you don't arrest Ding, I'm afraid that there will be a few Nationalist government troops.
Falling apart in the month.
This kind of stubborn concept is equivalent to robbing the neighbor by the robber, he found that he was safe and sound, so he pretended to be fine, and when you were robbed by the robber, he found that no one could help you, a kind of sadness that hurts to the bones, but Song Yuhang feels that the government has no power to ask ordinary people, and should reflect on what it has done for ordinary people Therefore, when it is understood that the Japanese soldiers who fought for the survival of the nation and ordinary Chinese soldiers who fought for some reason, the Chinese soldiers who were often several times the enemy would be easily defeated.
For the first time, Song Yuhang found that the gap between ideals and reality was so big, and on the one hand, he was full of enthusiasm and bravery.
Sacrificing one's life for the country, on the one hand, is indifferent, numb, and stealing, which is the best explanation for the fact that the Guilin front line has seven times the enemy's strength but has fought for a long time without success.
The country has been weak for a long time, there are strong invaders outside, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant in the world, and the people have lost confidence in the government.
If it is Chen Shaokuan's dream to have a strong navy, then Song Yuhang's dream is a thorough dream of a strong country Song Yuhang knew very well that although the war in Guilin had stabilized for now, all this was just an illusion deliberately created by Netmura Ningci, and once this illusion receded, the Japanese army would definitely pounce on it like a beast.
Song Yuhang had no choice but to urge Chang Tianfang again to start the Battle of Hengyang before April 28, in order to give Netcun Ningci a real and effective threat.
Song Yuhang decided to move the military headquarters directly to Shaoguan except for the 1st Heavy Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Light Armored Division to stay in Guangzhou, and to parachute six assault squadrons of the Special Operations Brigade from Kunming to the rear of the Japanese army to carry out large-scale subversive activities.
The 20 gunboats and planes transferred from Kunming plus the previous 30 were formed into two teams, the squadron supported the Guilin front line under the escort of the fighter squadron, and the squadron carried out reconnaissance attacks on all Japanese targets in Yongzhou, Hengyang, Shaoyang, Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, and Changsha under the escort of fighter planes 。
Song Yuhang only hopes that all his efforts can make Okamura Ningji feel threatened in the back road Qi Baiming and Liang Chao, who were stationed in Melbourne for renovation, received a joint invitation letter from the local Chinatown, and after thinking about it, the two decided to go, Melbourne's Chinatown, especially the bustling area from the east end to the middle of the street.
Chinatown is not the residential area that Qi Baiming and Liang Chao thought they were, but a place of Chinese restaurants and shops in the heart of Melbourne.
Melbourne's entire Chinatown is about yo meters long and 6 meters wide.
Spanning five perpendicular avenues.
There are many Chinese restaurants, Chinese-owned bookstores, boutiques, craft shops, etc., all of which are full of Chinese signs and oriental flavors.
It is said that the history of Melbourne's Chinatown began in the year of expansion, and it is the earliest Chinatown in Australia and one of the earliest in the world.
Qi Baiming and Liang Chao are in the middle of the heart of Chinatown.
At a glance, they found a large archway imitating Chaotiangen Xingmen in Nanjing City, Jiangsu, and the two of them felt guilty and gasped:
