Chapter Seventy-One: Chaos 1
readx;?“ Brothers, as long as the runway is repaired, our planes will be able to land and take off directly here to bomb Tokyo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 After resting for the night, he took the soldiers of his battalion to help repair the runway of the airport early the next day, because he heard that once the airport could take off and land fighters at will, it would be time to attack the city of Tokyo in a big way.
The sight of thousands of people repairing the runway of the airport was spectacular, especially since among the thousands of people there were also many Japanese prisoners of war wearing only shirts. When the reinforcement group broke through the Tokyo airport, it only killed the Japanese soldiers who dared to resist, and the other ground and logistics personnel were all imprisoned and now rushed out to serve as free laborers to repair the runway. Tokyo Airport was lost, and Hideki Tojo urgently mobilized the Japanese army to recapture the airport, but due to the timely arrival of the follow-up troops of the expeditionary force, the defense of Tokyo Airport had already exceeded the Japanese army's expectations.
"No, that's our last air power, and once the Chinese army uses planes to bomb the city of Tokyo, those fighters will be our last countermeasure." Some of his officers proposed to use fighter planes to cooperate in the recapture of Tokyo Airport, but Tojo Hideki refused, from the beginning of Zhuo Fei's capture of Kyushu Island, the umbrella flight team regarded all the airfields on the Japanese mainland as the primary target, and the only remaining aviation unit in Tojo's hands at this time was only a hundred fighters.
The last hundred or so fighters were the last reliance of Hideki Tojo, and he knew that once the last hundred or so fighters were also lost, then what awaited the empire would be a real catastrophe. The expeditionary force that had firmly occupied the Tokyo airport did not know this, and while the runway was urgently repaired inside the airport, the expeditionary force troops that came to the airport in the follow-up had begun to expand outside the Tokyo airport, especially the umbrella armored force commanded by Hogg was at the forefront.
"How's it going? Contacted? Hideki Tojo, who had an anxious face, kept pacing back and forth, and the anxiety on the face of the communications staff officer was even greater, and the communications soldier who was stared at by the two from time to time had already wet his back with sweat. The opponent's offensive was like a rainbow, and the local forces had almost no advantage, and in such a situation, Tojo Hideki was not sure that he would be able to block the opponent's continuous attack. Having tried everything he could, the only thing he could do now was to try his best to delay his opponent's attack and buy more time for the people waiting to be evacuated from the eastern ports.
"Report, they've been contacted." Finally, in the impatient waiting of Hideki Tojo, the signal soldier let out a cry of joy. A short time later, the telegram translated by the communications staff officer himself was handed to Hideki Tojo, and after carefully reading the telegram in his hand, a smile finally appeared on Hideki Tojo's face. When the Japanese army withdrew from China, it left behind countless intelligence officers, although some of them were detected by the military commanders, but there were still a certain number of Japanese intelligence officers who successfully lurked, and Tojo Hideki is now in contact with an intelligence network lurking in Jiaodong.
It was hopeless to confront the Shina army attacking Honshu Island head-on, but Hideki Tojo found another way to hit the idea of those docks and ports in Jiaozhou Bay, as long as he used hidden intelligence officers to carry out effective attacks and sabotage on the docks and seaports in Jiaozhou Bay, so as to cut off the logistical supply of the Shina army, how could he win a respite for the local army, and more time for the people waiting to leave the eastern port.
For example, the local people, sacrificing an intelligence network that has been painstakingly hidden, in Tojo Hideki's view, is a small and broad benefit. Finally contacted the intelligence officer lurking in Jiaodong, and also obtained a reply from the intelligence officer through telegram, and a big stone in Tojo Hideki's heart was finally able to land. But before his euphoria could continue, the bad news ensued, Nagoya, located in the middle of the island of Honshu, was defeated by the Shina army.
After the landing of the Dangkou army in Mie Prefecture, they went all the way north to cut off all the passages between the east and west of Honshu Island, and after Zhuo Fei's own headquarters moved forward to Mie Prefecture, the Dangkou army under the direct command of Zhuo Fei attacked one after another, and after taking control of Nara Prefecture and Kyoto Prefecture, the forward troops of the Dangkou Army followed a large number of Japanese refugees and entered Shiga Prefecture. A large number of Japanese refugees who had been driven eastward were used as meat shields, and the forward troops of the Dangko army entered Shiga Prefecture with almost no effort, and the two Japanese infantry wings deployed by Tojo Hideki in Nagoya did not lower the attack of the Koukou army and retreated in a hurry.
The control of Nagoya also indicates that the gate of Tokyo has been opened to the troops of the Dangkou Army, and at the same time as the fall of the famous Furuya of Hideki Tojo, Zhuo Fei suddenly changed the battle plan of the Dangkou Army. Zhuo Fei did not want the Dangkou army to continue moving in the direction of Tokyo, but divided the entire Dangkou army into three, all the way north to attack Fukui Prefecture, all the way south from Nagoya to Aichi Prefecture, and the rest of the way to the east to occupy the Nakatsugawa River to defend the gateway to Nagoya.
Zhuo Fei made such a decision, not because he wanted to leave a chance for the Japanese army to breathe, but because he had to take care of the face of the other participating troops, the Dangkou army had enough limelight, and then it should be the time and opportunity for other troops to take turns to appear. The expeditionary force that pursued the remnants of the Japanese army west of Nagoya had already exceeded 400,000 troops, occupied Aichi and Fukui prefectures, and firmly controlled the Nakatsugawa River.
"Except for McHausen's temporary fleet, all our troops are on standby to rest, and the next time is for us to calm down and recuperate and watch the battle. If the British come to look for them, they should first take some of those servant troops and take them away, and as for the Rogue, just assign them some search tasks. Zhuo Fei, who had deployed everything, did not stay in Nagoya for too long, so he took a military plane directly to Okinawa, which was broken by the United States and Australia.
Unlike the expeditionary force, which went smoothly, MacArthur's breakthrough of Okinawa by the US-Australian coalition was a nightmare, and although MacArthur's US-Australian coalition finally defeated the Japanese in Okinawa, his US-Australian coalition paid a heavy casualties and losses. On the one hand, they attacked with all their might, and on the other hand, they resisted as much as possible, and the combined forces of the United States and Australia fought with the Japanese army in Okinawa for a whole month, and finally won the final victory because of the lack of strength of the Japanese army in Okinawa.
Stepping on the soil of Okinawa, Zhuo Fei's heart was actually not calm, because he knew MacArthur's real intention to suddenly attack Okinawa, and the US government did not give up the idea of deploying a bridgehead in Asia. This time he came to Okinawa, on the surface, Zhuo Fei was because he received an invitation from Sir James, but in fact, Zhuo Fei came here to prepare to take back control of Okinawa from MacArthur, and for this reason, Zhuo Fei prepared very sincere chips.
"Zhuo, my old friend, I heard that you are doing a good job in Japan." Sir James, who came to Okinawa in advance, personally rushed to the airport to greet Zhuo Fei, and at the same time made a small stumbling block for MacArthur, who was unable to be present. "Douglas should have more important things to do, so I don't have time to pick you up, but I would like to thank him for his wide range of business, as you and I have been given the opportunity to exchange views and ideas beforehand."
Zhuo Fei did not object to Sir James's proposal, and after introducing Sir James to the important attachés who came to Okinawa with him, Zhuo Fei took the initiative to get into Sir James's car. "Sir Sir, don't worry, our war on the Japanese mainland is going very well, as long as we take Tokyo, I can send a group of troops to the Mediterranean to help you." After getting into the car, Zhuo Fei first reassured Sir James, and at the same time put forward his ideas and requirements very vaguely.
"Zhuo, I have to say you should be a damn politician, why do you always have to make some demands that I can't do anything about every time?" Sir James turned his head to look at Zhuo Fei as if he was dissatisfied, but Zhuo Fei clearly did not see any signs of dissatisfaction from the other party's expression and expression. Knowing that Sir James was just joking, Zhuo Fei no longer concealed the main purpose of his trip, and directly said his thoughts.
"Sir, Okinawa, originally called Ryukyu, is a subsidiary island group of Taiwan, and has been part of China since ancient times. In the past, China did not have the ability to regain what it lost, but now, China has this ability, and it is actively working on it, Taiwan is a good example. I don't know why the US-Australian coalition forces suddenly sent troops to Okinawa under the premise that the Philippines has not yet been completely conquered, and I don't know what the intentions of the US-Australian coalition are, I just know that Okinawa belongs to China. ”
"The number of troops that our umbrella can mobilize is very limited, and if your country wants to gain greater support, it cannot do without China, after all, the Chinese government can draw more than a million battle-tested troops at any time. Mr. Sir, I am not trying to blackmail you by saying this, I am just telling you the actual situation, and the final decision needs to be considered by yourself. Zhuo Fei said it so bluntly, I don't believe Sir James can't hear the deep meaning.
Sir James naturally knew that Zhuo Fei's words just now were definitely not untargeted, if the Chinese government refused to send troops to Europe because of this matter, what awaited Britain could only be to abandon its own country and go into exile overseas, and this was more than just face loss for the former empire on which the sun never set. "Zhuo, don't worry, I will make the right decision." After some thought, Sir James immediately showed a reassuring expression to Zhuo Fei, compared with the more than one million reinforcements of the Chinese government, MacArthur and the United States and Australia allied forces in Sir James's status in Sir James's heart plummeted in an instant.
