Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
2368 Inseparable
Ahmed succeeded. In just one night, the number of cooperation partners available to Adan Company was reduced from six to one. However, it was not the Aza tribe that Ahmed hoped for, but Sawa who had done nothing.
.
So sometimes being too proactive is not a good thing. Little people should have the awareness of little people.
Compared with Ahmed, Mountbatten is undoubtedly a big shot, but his situation is not much better than Ahmed. From Europe to East Asia, the people who deal with Mountbatten have changed, but his attitude has not changed.
How to take the British Empire to heart.
Gavin holds the title of first heir to the Marquis of Nyasaland and belongs to the British aristocracy. When facing Mountbatten, he has to save some face and will not break his face on the spot.
The people in charge of East Asia were Angie and MacArthur. They had different positions, but they were highly consistent in their attitudes towards Mountbatten, whether with or without him.
Compared with Europe, the East Asian battlefield is progressing relatively smoothly, and the front has now been successfully advanced to the Japanese mainland——
Wait, MacArthur thinks of Japan as the mainland, Angel doesn't think so.
"Before 1897, Ryukyu was not Japanese territory, but was later occupied by Japanese force, so now we have not advanced the front to the Japanese mainland." Angel does not recognize Japan's sovereignty over Ryukyu, and Japan will definitely be liquidated after the war.
All the lands invaded by Japan since the Meiji Restoration must be vomited out.
MacArthur said nothing and frowned.
If we follow what Angel said, then the United States also has no sovereignty over the Philippines.
Also at the end of the 19th century, the United States captured the Philippines through the Spanish-American War.
"Can we defeat the Japanese on land before attacking the Japanese mainland?" Mountbatten was in a bad mood. This was the first time he attended the East Asia Allied Military Conference after arriving in East Asia.
Mountbatten didn't care when to launch a ground attack on the Japanese mainland. The war in India was not over yet.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan made rapid progress and established a nominally independent executive government headed by Barmo in India. Aung San of India blocked the army and participated in the battle between the Japanese army and the British army.
Now that the fighting in French Indochina has basically ended, Aung San is still fighting guerrillas with the Allied forces in the deep mountains and old forests. The work of clearing out the remaining enemies is the responsibility of the British and Indian troops. However, with the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops, they are simply not capable of fighting guerrilla warfare.
of Wengshan.
Mountbatten hoped that the southern African army or the US military could take over the battle against Aung San. Angie and MacArthur expressed no interest. You British people are responsible for your own affairs.
"Are you sure you need our help?" An Qi looked strange. Mountbatten arrived too late, so he might not have figured out the situation yet.
Southern African armies defeated British forces in the Malay Peninsula.
Now the Malay Peninsula is full of rebels, and Britain has completely lost control of the Malay Peninsula.
Southern African troops destroyed Japanese forces in French Indochina.
French Indochina is still under military control. Free France and Vichy France are bickering in newspapers every day about French Indochina, blaming each other as the main person responsible for causing the situation in French Indochina to get out of control.
Under this background, Mountbatten actually dared to ask the southern African army for help. He probably really didn't know that people's hearts are sinister.
"Why not? We are allies, and victory is our only pursuit." Mountbatten said firmly, he was not stupid.
That's right, you can understand Mountbatten's mood by referring to MacArthur's mentality towards the Philippines.
Mountbatten is not yet the Governor-General of India. His current official position is the Commander of the British Army's East Asian Theater, and his military rank is Admiral.
Have you ever seen an admiral without a single warship under his command?
Mountbatten is.
After the annihilation of Fleet Z, the British army no longer has an organized fleet in Asia. Several old destroyers of the Indian Ocean Fleet are now under the command of the Mediterranean Fleet. Admiral Mountbatten is actually the commander-in-chief of the British-Indian forces.
The command rests with Commander Auchinleck of the Indian Army.
Therefore, in theory, the only troops actually under Mountbatten's command were the four army divisions in British Malaya.
The number of British and Indian troops fighting in the Malay Peninsula once exceeded 200,000. Although there were many troops, their role was minimal. After the Allied forces ended their operations in the Malay Peninsula, Angel sent most of the British and Indian troops back to India, retaining only
There are four divisions, and they are still not full.
The division that mutinied some time ago was one of these four divisions, so Mountbatten now not only doubted the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian troops, but also doubted the loyalty of the British and Indian troops.
Bamo and Aung San are also Indians.
There is still a certain market for Japan to launch a war under the pretext of expelling Western colonists.
"Sorry, I don't have the ability to go deep into land operations at the moment. As you all know, the most important thing now is Operation Overlord." MacArthur decisively refused. He wrote to Washington many times, hoping to launch a large-scale ground attack on the Japanese mainland.
Washington still chose Europe.
MacArthur had previously predicted that if a large-scale attack was launched against the Japanese mainland, at least 5 million troops would be sent and preparations for 1 million casualties would be necessary.
Five million is no problem, the Allies can afford it.
One million casualties is unacceptable. The pension for the First World War in Beautiful Country has not been settled yet. One million casualties can directly kill Beautiful Country.
This also has a lot to do with the national policy of the United States. Now the United States' focus is still on Europe. The Philippines has recovered from East Asia, and its importance has plummeted.
It's different here in Southern Africa.
On the southern African side, East Asia has always been more important than Europe, which can be seen from the deployment of military power.
When the World War first broke out, the First Army was immediately established in southern Africa to assist the British mainland.
At that time, the First Army had about 165,000 men, and it is still the same size now, without any change.
The Fourth Army led by An Qi was established relatively late, and its expansion rate is the fastest among all theater sergeants in Southern Africa. From less than 100,000 people at the beginning to about 900,000 now, the Fourth Army in Southern Africa
The major military regions are the most powerful.
"The Indian army exceeds 3 million, and the remaining rebels in eastern India do not exceed 20,000 at most. With the strength of the Indian army -" Angel cannot say that he is powerless, and this problem cannot be simply measured with numbers.
In terms of pure capabilities, Auchinleck far surpassed Mountbatten.
When the Allies defeated Rommel in North Africa, they actually continued the battle plan formulated by Auchinleck and had little to do with Montgomery and Patton.
Auchinleck was sent to India because he had a bad relationship with Winston. During the Malay War, Auchinleck did his best to provide the Malay side with the greatest assistance. Angel and MacArthur were grateful.
Now the commander-in-chief of the British army in East Asia has been replaced by Mountbatten. Angie doesn't know what Auchinleck thinks, but judging from Mountbatten's performance, he is too eager for quick success and quick gains, and puts personal honor above the interests of the British Empire. It is not very good.
Good rating.
Of the 3 million British-Indian troops, less than one-tenth was used in the Indian direction. This is the main reason why Aung San has been able to persist until now.
The latest intelligence from India is that Mountbatten is working hard to contact Aung San, hoping to win Aung San to the Allied side.
Angel didn't want to comment on whether this approach was right or wrong. From the perspective of the British Empire, this was obviously laying the foundation for the future.
The origin of the "Mountbatten Plan" in another time and space is here.
"There is no problem for us to defeat the rebels, it just takes a long time. If we can exchange for peace in East Asia at a smaller cost, I think it is worth it." What Mountbatten wanted was victory, and the process was not important.
"Your Excellency, General, one thing I want to remind you is that our attitude towards the Japanese army and the Japanese servant army is to completely eliminate it, without any possibility of compromise." Angel did not give Mountbatten room to operate, a continental balance policy?
Go to hell!
At the same time that there were disagreements among the top Allied forces in East Asia, the Allied forces' attack on Ryukyu, which Japan called Okinawa, was in progress.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty until 1897, when Japan annexed Ryukyu and the national destiny suddenly collapsed.
Ryukyu is now the last barrier before the Allied forces attack the Japanese mainland. In order to block the war outside the Japanese mainland, Japan has deployed heavy troops in Ryukyu to resist stubbornly.
Before attacking Ryukyu, the Allies had carried out four weeks of air strikes on Ryukyu, and the military facilities built by the Japanese army in Ryukyu were basically destroyed.
Starting from the Tokyo bombing, the Allied bombing technology against Japan gradually matured. From the initial high-altitude strikes to the current carpet bombing, the Japanese army was exhausted and stretched. The few remaining air forces were unable to fight back, and the ground forces had to
Retreating to the mountains, hoping that the favorable terrain would slow down the Allied attack.
At Naha Port, the 11th Marine Brigade from East India was sending heavy weapons ashore. The port facilities had been completely destroyed due to previous bombings. The 11th Brigade built a simple dock, but the speed was slow.
"Are there still Japanese troops stationed on this island?" Li Xin, commander of the third regiment of the 11th Brigade, was carrying a Nyasaland rifle and a Marine Corps combat uniform without any markings on the uniform.
The Japanese have learned a lesson from fighting with the southern African army for so long. There are many precision shooters in the army, and officers are the key targets for sniping.
The East India Army was also very smart. Officers did not wear officer uniforms made of high-grade woolen materials on the front line. Their weapons and equipment were the same as those of ordinary soldiers, so as to minimize losses.
"There must be. According to the information from the headquarters, there are at least 100,000 Japanese troops stationed on the island. We still have many tasks." Chief of Staff Huang Lin grimaced. He sprained his foot when he jumped off the landing craft just now. This is a bit
Unfortunately, I can't even get a military medal.
The military medal system in East India is the same as that in southern Africa. If someone is wounded in battle, he will at least have a Service Medal.
There is no military merit to be gained if one is accidentally injured, especially a senior officer.
"Then continue the attack. We must kill all the Japanese." Li Xin hated the Japanese deeply and hated the country and the family.
The Marine Corps in East India has the same organization as the Marine Corps in Southern Africa, with each brigade consisting of approximately 6,000 officers and soldiers.
The weapons and equipment are definitely inferior.
The Marine Corps in Southern Africa is equipped with amphibious tanks, but the East Indian Army is not.
The equipment of the artillery units is also different. The Southern African Marine Corps is equipped with self-propelled artillery, while the East Indian Army is equipped with traditional army artillery, but the firepower is about the same.
"Sir, we have a new discovery, you should come and take a look -" A staff officer came to Li Xin and hesitated to speak.
"What's going on?" Li Xin randomly found an ammunition box and sat down to rest. The orderly next to him immediately brought the kettle.
In a bay not far from the landing site, there were densely packed corpses floating on the sea. It looked like there were at least hundreds of them.
Neither Li Xin nor Huang Lin spoke, with complicated expressions on their faces.
Before landing on Ryukyu, the Allied forces had bombed Ryukyu for dozens of days, so Li Xin and Huang Lin's first reaction was that these corpses were caused by Allied bombing.
"These corpses were all drowned. We have reason to believe that before the Japanese evacuated, they carried out a large-scale massacre of the residents of Naha. They were forced to jump into the sea, and many of the corpses were tied up -" the staff officer looked sad.
, this situation has never been encountered.
Li Xin felt heavy, and her eyes swept over the corpses in the bay. Most of the corpses were women and children——
"He's a wolf, he's a dog, he's crazy -" Huang Lin cursed loudly, took off his glasses and sat slumped on the ground, his eyes dim with tears.
Li Xin said nothing, looking at the bay in front of her with a slightly numb expression, in disbelief.
After the war broke out, Li Xin witnessed too many tragedies with her own eyes. People died on the battlefield, bombed, beaten to death, burned to death, drowned, etc.
Li Xin had also seen large-scale massacres of civilians, but they were less than a hundred people, so they were not too shocking.
The corpses in the bay in front of her were roughly estimated to be more than 5,000. They were densely packed, one on top of the other, and their clothes were not covering their bodies. They were so miserable that even though Li Xin had been on the battlefield for a long time, she couldn't help but feel nauseated.
"Are there any survivors?" Li Xin called the adjutant over. This situation must be kept on file and will be settled slowly after the war is over.
"No, we haven't seen a single living person so far. The total population of Naha before the war broke out was close to 20,000-" the staff officer's voice was low.
Li Xin nodded and turned away. Blood debts must be paid with blood. The sins committed by the Japanese must be repaid.
This is just the beginning. In a ravine less than ten kilometers away from Naha, there are about 10,000 corpses. These people, like the people in the bay, were forced to jump off the cliff, and some of them still have bullet marks on their bodies.
.
The East India Army also had journalists accompanying the army. After obtaining Li Xin's permission, the journalists accompanying the army took pictures of the scene. Four photographers suffered a heavy mental blow during the filming and were sent to Coconut City for treatment.
"You see, this is why we must fight the Japanese. I am now ordering not to accept the surrender of any Japanese army. All Japanese must be driven out and wiped out!" Li Xin repeatedly emphasized at the combat meeting that the Geneva Convention
