Chapter 1173 1175 [Additional import]

  With the perverse actions of the Orientals, the lives of the people in the mainland became more difficult, and the people were destitute.

  In order to escape for their lives, they fled to Macau one after another, causing the number of refugees in Macau to surge.

   There were more than 200,000 people before, and now it has increased to more than 300,000.

  The streets and alleys, the mountains and plains, are full of people who have fled.

   Some of them were curled up by the roadside, some were lying in the aisle, and some were lying down in the alley, with no tiles to cover their heads, no place to stand on, and lack of food and clothing.

   Seeing this, Xiang Nan was very pitiful.

  After discussing with Zhou Qingquan, they each paid 5,000 oceans to set up a porridge shed to give porridge to the refugees.

  Although their strength is limited and they cannot help too many people, they can help a little when the country is in ruins.

  …

  June, Battle of Midway.

  Four Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk by the U.S. military. Since then, the Japanese army has lost the strategic initiative in the Pacific naval battle, and the defeat has been realized.

   In July, the Battle of Alamein broke out.

  The German, Italian, British, and French armies fought fiercely in North Africa.

  Although the German army achieved a brief victory, there were more than 60,000 casualties and captured officers and soldiers.

   This also caused the military strength of the German and Italian troops in North Africa to drop sharply, which became a turning point in the North African battlefield.

  In the same month, the Battle of Stalingrad started.

   This battle will continue until February next year. The German army suffered as many as 1.5 million casualties and suffered heavy losses.

  The defeat of this battle reduced the strength of the German army sharply, and it was no longer able to launch an offensive.

   In August, the Battle of Guadalcanal started.

   This war has been fought until March of next year, and the Japanese army has killed 20,000 people.

  After this battle was over, the Japanese army completely lost the initiative in the South Pacific. We had to change from strategic offense to strategic defense.

  …

  Due to heavy losses in the South Pacific, the Japanese army had to mobilize elite troops to participate in the war in Nanyang, which also greatly weakened the strength of the Japanese army in the interior.

  Since then, large-scale battles have rarely been launched, and strategic stalemate has been the main focus.

  Thus, from 42 to 43 years, there were fewer large-scale battles, but there were still many small-scale battles.

   And there are more and more news about the Japanese army's excessive expropriation, burning, killing and looting.

  In order to suppress public opinion, the military officials in Macau not only forcibly closed down many newspaper offices, but also set up their own newspaper offices to beautify the aggression and fool the people.

  Xiang Nan scoffed at this.

  He no longer buys these false papers, but concentrates on teaching his son at home.

   Now Ye Zhun is twelve years old, he is an older child.

  Because the world is not peaceful, Xiang Nan doesn't let him go to school anymore, but keeps him at home to teach himself.

  Mathematics, English, Chinese, physics, chemistry, history, geography... All subjects are taught carefully, but he is not allowed to practice martial arts.

  Because in his opinion, the future is the era of technology, and kung fu is already outdated.

  Anyone who can fight will have to kneel in front of the guns. Therefore, practicing martial arts is basically useless, it only teaches people to be brave and ruthless. If you want to exercise your body, running, high jump, and long jump are better than martial arts.

  …

  During the past two years, besides teaching the children, Xiang Nan also helped Wu Chilin, Jin Shanxun and others marry wives, so that they could start a family and start a career instead of being alone.

   Adding a child to import, getting married and starting a business, this is also a rare warm moment in the difficult years.

  …

  In four or three years, good news came one after another.

In the north, at the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army surrendered to the Soviet army, and more than 90,000 people were captured; in the south, the German and Italian troops in North Africa surrendered to the British and French allied forces; the commander-in-chief of the Japanese joint army, Yamamoto Fifty-Six, was shot by the American army and died .

  In July, political change occurred in Italy, and Mussolini was arrested.

  The Battle of Kuerke started. During the two-month war, the German army lost more than 500,000 people, completely lost the ability to counterattack, and switched to strategic defense.

  The Soviet army completely reversed the situation of the war, from strategic defense to active offense.

  In September, the Allied forces landed in Italy, Italy surrendered, and the next month turned its guns and declared war on Germany.

  In November, the Cairo Conference and the Tehran Conference were held successively to discuss arrangements for jointly dealing with Germany, Japan, and the post-war international order.

  In the same year, in order to protect the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the Chinese Expeditionary Force launched an attack on the Japanese army who had invaded and occupied Burma. After many battles, a total of nearly 50,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, making a great contribution to the international anti-Farsis movement.

  …

   There is also good news at home.

  Zhang Yongcheng successfully conceived a second child, which made Xiang Nan very happy.

  After his careful care, Zhang Yongcheng successfully gave birth to a baby boy in June of 2044.

   That day was also the day when the Allied forces launched the Normandy landing.

  Xiang Nan named his son Ye Zheng.

   Landed in Normandy, successfully opening up the second European battlefield.

  From then on, Germany will face two-front warfare, with additional attacks on two fronts.

  In October 1944, the Japanese and Allied forces fought a decisive naval battle in Wright Gulf, Philippines.

  In the end, all the large warships of the Japanese army were sunk, and the Toyo Navy existed in name only.

  The Allied Forces have completely mastered the command of the Pacific Ocean. Dongyang lost its vital maritime supply line, and its combat readiness resources were further depleted.

  In November 1944, in order to open up the supply line, Dongyang launched the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi.

  The national army suffered a disastrous defeat, with more than 500,000 casualties. Although the Japanese army won, it also paid a heavy price with more than 100,000 casualties.

   In four or five years, good news came one after another.

   In Europe, the Allied forces recovered the lost land successively, liberating France, liberating Warsaw, liberating Budapest, liberating Romania...

  In Asia, the U.S. military continued to pull out of the Japanese-occupied areas. Manila, Luzon, Okinawa, etc. were liberated one after another. Moreover, the U.S. military also sent a large number of planes to bomb Tokyo, causing hundreds of thousands of houses to be burned and millions of people displaced.

   This move accelerated the progress of the collapse of militarism, and also avenged the hundreds of millions of people who were invaded and injured by the Japanese invaders.

  In April, the Allies captured Berlin.

  The end of the two war madmen, Mussolini and Hitler, has finally arrived.

   In May, Germany unconditionally surrendered. The Allied forces achieved a complete victory in the European battlefield.

  After Italy and Germany surrendered one after another, the only remaining Eastern Ocean among the three Axis countries seemed even more difficult to support.

  Although it was still struggling, it brazenly launched the Battle of Western Hubei and the Battle of Western Hunan. However, both battles failed, especially in the Xiangxi battle, where the Japanese army lost more than 30,000 casualties, and they were no longer able to launch a large-scale offensive.

   Entering July, the United States, Britain, and China issued the "Potsdam Proclamation", urging Dongyang to surrender as soon as possible.

  In August, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the East, causing tens of thousands of casualties. Even with its incomparably powerful power, Dongyang was terrified.

   On the 8th, the Soviet Red Army invaded the Northeast, with a destructive momentum, within a week, wiped out 750,000 Kwantung Army.

   This battle completely shattered Dongyang's illusion of stubborn resistance.

  On August 15th, Dongyang officially announced its unconditional surrender.

   When the news came, the whole country rejoiced.

  Macau people rushed to the streets together, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
