Time has come to May, and the entire southern Myanmar battlefield has entered the final stage from the initial stalemate. The high-profile offensive and defensive battle in Yangon has now turned into a unilateral siege.
The Little Japanese's peripheral defense lines were broken through by the expeditionary force one by one, just like boiling frogs in warm water, slowly and continuously compressing the Japanese army's strategic space without giving the opponent any chance to counterattack.
If the Japanese surface fleet hadn't still had a certain amount of strength, their army's supplies would have been cut off long ago, and it would have been impossible to persist until now.
But even so, the troops defending Yangon had a very difficult time. The navy's supply ships were also vulnerable to threats from British submarines, and the situation was very bad.
The unfavorable factors in the past few days have made the Japanese military leaders have the idea of retreating, but due to face, they do not want to say retreat so simply.
This is the character of the little devil. He has to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time. Even if I really can't stand it anymore, I still have to pretend to be okay.
As a result, "His Majesty the Emperor was furious", and the old gangsters at the base camp began to blame others and find someone to use as a scapegoat. They said that it was the military's own decision to defend Burma, and the unfavorable war was also the dereliction of duty of the senior commanders of the Southern Army.
A group of senior officials of the Japanese Southern Army led by Juichi Terauchi cursed in their hearts. It was so damn disgusting to be pushed to the forefront when they had to take the blame for a good thing before it was their turn.
However, since someone is taking the lead and proposes to withdraw the troops, it can be pushed forward. The situation in Myanmar is like this. If the war continues, it will only increase casualties and will not change the deterioration of the situation.
What is even worse is the world situation. Now the Third Reich in Europe is also in decline. Both the east and west defense lines have collapsed. The remaining Führer Guards can only make a final resistance in Berlin.
On the 28th of last month, the Soviet Red Army entered the center of Berlin. At this time, the Red Army arrived at Potsdamer Platz, which was only one street away from the Reich Chancellery. On this night, Hitler was in his 15-meter-deep basement. Two wills were dictated.
In his political will, Hitler appointed Admiral Dönitz as his "heir". In his living will, Hitler decided to marry Eva, who had been pursuing him for 17 years.
The situation was over... He thought about the end of his life, his face turned purple, his whole body was trembling, the hero was at his end, and he felt endless melancholy and unwillingness.
On April 30, Soviet Red Army soldiers planted the red flag of victory on the roof of the Reichstag Building. At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Hitler shot himself in the temple in the basement, and the love of the Führer's life... Eva committed suicide by taking poison.
Hitler ended his criminal and legendary life, and history ruthlessly nailed him to the pillar of shame forever.
On May 7, Dönitz announced Germany's unconditional surrender. At 12 o'clock the next night, the surrender document was signed in Berlin in front of representatives of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
Dönitz, on behalf of the signatories of the German High Command, agreed to the unconditional surrender of all German army, navy, air force and all forces still under German control to the High Command of the Red Army and at the same time to the High Command of the Allied Expeditionary Forces.
At this point, the European battlefield of World War II came to an end with the complete destruction of Hitler's Third Reich.
Not to mention Italy, which surrendered early, the only remaining fascist camp in the fascist camp was Japan, which was alone and unable to support itself, and they were about to face all the pressure from the Allies.
Japan, also an Axis power, is still unwilling to face the fact that it is destined to fail. As early as the beginning of the year, their base camp proposed the "100 million jade pieces" plan.
In fact, the Japanese government does not really intend to fight to the end, even if the country is destroyed. Those duplicitous politicians just don't want to surrender directly to the Allies.
Because this will disqualify them from bargaining at the negotiating table, they must let the Allies see Japan's spirit of resistance, increase the difficulty for them to invade Japan, and strive to drag the war into a stalemate, thereby gaining the opportunity for reciprocal negotiations. qualifications.
After all, these ambitious dwarfs want to preserve as much as possible the fruits of victory they plundered through the war. Even if they know that they will lose, they will not accept it. They will delay it as long as they can. The worst case scenario is that they will have to start over again in the future, and they may even be unwilling to win. Having wishful thinking.
In fact, the population of Japan at this time was only over 73 million, which was close to 30 million from 100 million. Counting the people in colonies such as the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan, it might be possible to barely make up this number.
Therefore, the 100 million in the slogan proposed by the base camp is an approximation, in order to enhance the imagination of the Japanese people's national power and thus boost morale.
With such a perverted mentality, the Japanese military once again began to vigorously promote imperialist ideas. The purpose of proposing the slogan "One Hundred Million One Heart" was not only to win the support of the domestic people, but also to brainwash the colonial people.
They hoped that these people would support their war of aggression and regard themselves as members of Japan.
However, the persecution of the local people by the Japanese invaders made them unwilling to join the Japanese camp. Therefore, although the 100 million is the truth, it is just self-deception.
Treating the lives of citizens as nothing more than grass in the mountains, the plan required both the elderly and women to take up arms and resist the landing American troops.
Under the guidance of this idea, the Japanese army used many incredible tactics on the Pacific battlefield, the most famous of which was the kamikaze.
The landing gear of the Japanese pilots' aircraft would automatically fall off after takeoff, leaving them with no choice but to fight to the end. Many aircraft were not even equipped with weapons. Their only role was to hit enemy aircraft or enemy ships and perish with them.
Even if the "jade" is shattered and dies, the "Shenzhou" of Japan's land must be immortalized and the emperor's "imperial kingdom" can last forever.
This "100 million pieces of jade" plan is not a reflection of national integrity and dignity, but Japanese militarism is crazy and cruel. For its own ambition of military aggression, it treats its own people's livelihood as nothing, which is completely anti-human!
Today, the war situation in Myanmar is difficult to reverse. For the first time, the base camp believes that there is no need to fight in Yangon anymore, because even if it wins, it cannot regain a large area of land in Myanmar. But if it loses, it will be a huge loss. It is really not worth the gain. .
Compared with Yangon, Singapore's strategic location is more important. Now the Japanese military leaders want to withdraw all the southern Myanmar troops to Singapore in order to protect the Strait of Malacca and at the same time provide a barrier for the mainland to contain the US military in the Pacific.
Although all the jars have been smashed, it is good to save a little bit. The top brass of the Japanese army are always clamoring loudly. In fact, they are more careful than anyone else. They understand that if they are all porcelain, why can they use 100 million pieces of jade?
It's easy to fight but hard to withdraw. There are tens of thousands of people here in Yangon alone. This is not something we can just leave now.
