readx;?“ Let's go, it's time for us to move places. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"The Tokyo airport has been taken, and Zhuo Fei, who has been staying in Shimonoseki, has finally decided to move his headquarters to Mie Prefecture, which is under the control of the Dangkou Army. Why didn't you go directly to Tokyo Bay, it was because Zhuo Fei's staff team and Vivian, who came in a hurry, resolutely disagreed, they thought that Zhuo Fei, as the brain of the umbrella, should not put himself in danger at all.
At this time, Mie Prefecture had already become a place controlled by the Bandit Army, and a large number of Japanese civilians in Mie Prefecture were driven to Tokyo by the Bandit Army, and the former landing ground had been expanded into a shallow sea dock suitable for large landing ships. "Boss, the Sakakibara Onsen here is very good, I think your command might as well be placed in the Sakakibara Onsen, there are our troops around to defend, and there is no problem in terms of safety." Hefman, who came to Sane County in advance, rushed to the dock to greet Zhuo Fei and his party, but his last sentence just now was for Vivian, after all, Vivian was very concerned about Zhuo Fei's safety.
Sakakibara Onsen is very famous in Mie Prefecture and even in the whole of Japan, but now it is closely guarded by Hefman's escort, and it is surrounded by umbrella troops, and it is true that there is no need to consider safety issues when setting up the headquarters here. After soaking in the comfortable hot springs, Zhuo Fei, who was in high spirits, immediately summoned his staff officers to approve the plan, and according to the battle plan that Zhuo Fei had already formulated, after taking the Tokyo airport, the expeditionary force should launch a large-scale attack from Tokyo Bay to the central area of Honshu Island. The Umbrella and the British flying team sent by Sir James would use the Tokyo airport to carry out a large-scale bombing campaign against the city of Tokyo to complement the actions of the expeditionary force.
However, judging from the telegram sent back by the reinforced regiment from the Tokyo airport, the Japanese army in Tokyo had tried to recapture the Tokyo airport, and if it were not for the fact that the helicopter unit sent by McHausen happened to break the siege, perhaps Liu Zhaoxin's reinforced regiment would have been forced out of the Tokyo airport by more than 10,000 Japanese troops. It was impossible for the Japanese army to abandon the Tokyo airport, and Zhuo Fei did not want to just use the Tokyo airport as a bait to divert the opponent's attention and troops, so the battle plan he had formulated in advance had to be revised and adjusted.
"Boss, it's better to do this, let's just send the airborne division over. Now that the Japanese army has understood our intentions and objectives, and the expeditionary force has carried out a large-scale landing and in-depth operation from Tonkin Bay, we are afraid that there will not be many suitable opportunities for us to divert the attention and strength of the Japanese army. In this case, it is better for us to exert all our strength against the Japanese army and have the most direct confrontation with them. ”
Zhuo Fei pondered for his suggestion that the current situation was indeed favorable to the expeditionary force, and that the forward troops of the Dangkou Army, which had been heading north, had almost severed the connection between the east and west ends of Honshu Island. If he followed the advice and had a head-on duel with the Japanese army, Zhuo Fei was not worried that he would not be able to defeat the Japanese army, but that there would be unnecessary casualties and losses at that time.
Xu saw the confusion and unbearability in Zhuo Fei's eyes, and another staff officer suggested, "Boss, why don't we use the division tactic, first implement the leapfrog tactic to separate the Japanese troops on Honshu Island, and then carry out a split attack on the Japanese troops. If the Japanese army has a large number of troops, we will let it go first and deal with the Japanese army that is easy to deal with, so that although more time will be consumed, our efficiency in killing and injuring the living forces of the Japanese army will be greatly improved. ”
The suggestions put forward by his staff officers made Zhuo Fei have an epiphany, that's right, he came to Japan to force the Japanese government to withdraw eastward from the Americas, and by the way, he killed a large number of Japanese soldiers. The current situation has already been favorable to its own side, and the reserve forces drawn by the Chongqing side are constantly advancing from Jiaodong to Kyushu Island, whether it is in the number of troops or combat effectiveness, their side has a great advantage, in such a situation, why should they be afraid to do more to pave the attention of the Japanese army?
"Okay, that's it." Zhuo Fei immediately made a decision, "Order, all the troops on Kyushu Island immediately march to Honshu Island, the Dangkou Army and the 1st Guard Division immediately launch an attack on the Japanese troops around their respective defense areas, and the servant army troops are responsible for encircling and suppressing and pursuing the small units of the Japanese army after being defeated. Zhuo Fei, who agreed with the advice of his staff officers, divided the entire Honshu Island into multiple theaters, and each attacking unit that entered the island would receive a corresponding theater of operations.
The Japanese Cabinet, which felt that the situation was gone, was glad that they had sent the emperor and the imperial family out of the country, and under the continuous urging of Hideki Tojo, the members of the Japanese Cabinet, including Fumima Konoe, were secretly sent to the transport ship and transferred to Hawaii. In fact, from the moment the cabinet boarded the transport ship, Hideki Tojo became the controller of the entire Japanese mainland, but Hideki Tojo's heart did not have much happiness, and all that filled his heart was now only exhaustion and confusion.
"We are soldiers, soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, and we will fight until the last moment to win opportunities and time for the people who are about to leave our homeland." Looking around at the assembled officers, Hideki Tojo, dressed in military uniform, shouted sharply. "The current situation is obviously not in our favor, and the damned Shina people are taking advantage of the fact that the empire is shifting the focus of the war to the American continent, colluding with the umbrella, and after occupying the island of Kyushu, they are not satisfied, and they are still delusional about controlling the territory of the entire empire."
"According to the information we have so far, the government of China has sent a large number of troops to participate in the war, and the strength of the China troops that have entered the islands of Kyushu and Honshu has exceeded 300,000, and if the strength of the umbrella is included, our opponents have more than 600,000 troops. The fall of the arena is a big problem for us, so we must first take back control of the Tokyo airport, otherwise the entire Tokyo area will be under constant threat from the opposing fighter forces. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the empire is not just abandoning its homeland for the time being. Compared to the resource-poor homeland, the American Empire is more suitable for the rise and revival of the Empire, and as long as the Empire re-emerges from the resources of the American continent, it is only a matter of time before it regains what the Empire has lost in Asia. The above is what I want to say to you, I hope that in the next battle, you will remember your identity as an emperor **, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the revival of the empire, and take all your efforts to block the enemy, please. ”
There were no shouting slogans, no strong liquor, and the officers who had been summoned to the military headquarters by Hideki Tojo just left silently with solemn expressions, and behind them, Hideki Tojo was kneeling on the floor. Zhuo Fei has decided to launch an all-out attack on Honshu Island, and the expeditionary force units in Kyushu that have received weapons and equipment have been sent to Honshu Island one after another, and Hideki Tojo, who is in Tokyo, also intends to fight to the death, and the final collision between the Chinese and Japanese armies is inevitable.
An hour after Hideki Tojo's order, the city of Tokyo began to become busy and chaotic, and a large number of Tokyo citizens who had been gathered by the police were put on various means of transportation and rushed to Sendai, north of Tokyo, where they were to board a ship bound for Hawaii. "Maybe it's thanks to the umbrella that they didn't wipe us out, at least they didn't block all the open seas of Honshu Island, and left us a few seaports in the north for the evacuation of civilians." Hideki Tojo felt depressed in his heart and felt fortunate at the same time, but his happiness didn't last long.
"Nani? A large number of civilians are moving towards Tokyo? The happiness in Hideki Tojo's heart immediately vanished, and his heart was full of anger. Damn the Shina people, damn the umbrella. Hideki Tojo finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice in front of his adjutant, if he couldn't see that these refugees who were moving towards Tokyo at this time were driven by the umbrella or the squadron, then he, the Minister of Defense, would be in vain.
In order to divert the local population, the Japanese cabinet has called in all ships that can be found, and even those ships that have not yet finished painting in the shipyards on the West Coast of the United States have been transferred to the mainland. But the number of civilians in mainland Japan is too large, even if those ships keep going back and forth between Hawaii and mainland Japan, it will take at least half a year to take away the entire population of mainland Japan, and Hideki Tojo can't guarantee even a week now.
What to do? Is it to abandon the civilians who have been driven from the western part of the island? Or let those civilians into Tokyo? Hideki Tojo's face was full of confusion. "Open all our arsenals, send out the weapons and equipment that the army has obsolete to civilians, and the convoy going north will from now on only carry women under the age of 35 and children under the age of 15." After struggling for a long time, Hideki Tojo finally made a decision, and his decision also caused Nagano and Gunma prefectures to suddenly have more than a million hastily armed Japanese civilian troops.
Zhuo Fei didn't care about Hideki Tojo's helpless move at all, because since the earliest battle plan for attacking the Japanese mainland, Zhuo Fei never thought of implementing a benevolent or gentle policy against the Japanese, but in the area controlled by the umbrella troops, there was no Japanese existence at all. "Now just driving them to the northern part of the island of Honshu, without killing them is already merciful, is it necessary for me to treat them as Chinese?" In the face of the incomprehension and persuasion of the ** representative, Zhuo Fei's answer was obviously very extreme.
"Could it be that you still want to return this place to the Japanese?" Zhuo Fei sneered and asked, "I'm not afraid to tell you now, since I made the attack plan at the beginning, I never thought that the Japanese nation could continue in this world. This battle is the war of Japan's annihilation, and the Japanese nation will also become history. ”
