The constant ringing of the phone woke up Hideki Tojo in his sleep, and from the beginning of the umbrella attack on Kyushu Island, Hideki Tojo stayed in the military headquarters for a long time, and finally even moved to live in the military headquarters. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and Hideki Tojo, who had regained some senses, reached out and grabbed the phone on the bedside, and before he could speak, a rapid shout sounded on the phone. Hideki Tojo, who was shocked, didn't care about continuing to listen to what the person on the phone said, just hurriedly dressed and got up, and accompanied by his personal adjutant, Starry Night drove to Green Island, where the palace was located.

The Umbrella mobilized troops to launch a sudden attack on Shikoku Island, and at the same time, the troops occupying the southern tip of Kyushu Island also launched an attack on the northern region, this series of sudden actions made Tojo Hideki secretly anxious in his heart, if he could give himself more time, he might be able to contain a new round of attacks by the Umbrella. Pushing open the door of the palace conference room, the cabinet members were already waiting for Hideki Tojo to appear, and the emperor's face also did not look very good.

After carefully organizing the words in his heart, Hideki Tojo, who was asked by Konoe Fumima, received the emperor's signal and said, "In my opinion, the Umbrella's military operation this time is just to attract our attention when they attack Shikoku Island at this time, and their real purpose is obviously to capture the entire Kyushu Island. In Tojo's view, the umbrella wants to control the entire Kyushu Island, which is nothing more than a rear that wants to stabilize me, or to rely on the entire Kyushu Island to bargain with the Japanese Empire for more benefits.

"Then how do you explain that the Umbrella has sent troops to Honshu Island? Moreover, both Okinawa and Taiwan have been attacked by protective umbrellas, and Okinawa in particular has sent many telegrams asking for help. Someone in the cabinet didn't quite believe Hideki Tojo's decision, and immediately heard the news from Hideki Tojo, who had a calm face.

"Nani? The Umbrella has already dropped troops on the island of Honshu? When Hideki Tojo heard this, his heart flashed, this news was just known to the cabinet, and Hideki Tojo was still on his way to the palace, so naturally there was no way to know. Subconsciously swept the emperor with the corner of his eye, Tojo Hideki knew that he must not relax at this time, otherwise his own emperor His Majesty might collapse first.

Pretending to be indifferent, Tojo replied slowly, "Honshu Island is the focus of our mainland defense, and we have already made deployment adjustments on Honshu Island when I dispatched local troops to support Kyushu Island. I don't know how many troops the umbrella will send to Honshu Island, but I don't think it will be possible for them to send troops directly to Honshu Island by sea, and if they are airdropped by transport planes, then there will definitely not be many troops sent by the umbrella to Honshu Island. ”

Hideki Tojo said this, stretching out two fingers and smiling at the cabinet members, "Do you know how many troops I have deployed on Honshu Island?" In addition to the 300,000 first-line troops withdrawn from the China battlefield, there are more than 200,000 second-line troops and 1 million newly built divisions, which together exceed 2 million. ”

Hideki Tojo's reassuring answer made the mood of the cabinet members and the emperor slowly become relaxed, yes, no matter how many troops the umbrella can use transport planes to throw into Honshu Island, it is unlikely that it will be the opponent of more than 2 million imperial troops. Seeing that everyone's expressions were relaxed, Hideki Tojo finally deliberately added, "The umbrella is sending troops to Honshu Island at this time, probably to divert our attention and create conditions for them to seize Kyushu Island." ”

Hideki Tojo stubbornly determined that the real purpose of the umbrella was to take the entire island of Kyushu, and after leaving the palace, Hideki Tojo, who hurried back to the military headquarters, immediately issued a series of orders. Zhuo Fei, who was still lingering in Kumamoto Hot Springs, did not know that Hideki Tojo had ordered to continue to send reinforcements to Kyushu Island, and at the same time ordered the defense troops of Honshu Island to hold their respective defense areas and stand by, but Hideki Tojo did not know that it was precisely because of his order that the parachute airborne division parachuted into Honshu Island was greatly facilitated, so that the airborne division was transferred to many places on Honshu Island but was never broken by the Japanese army.

"General, the latest battle report from the Airborne Division, the Japanese defense forces deployed on Honshu Island seem to have received orders not to take the initiative to attack, and the Airborne Division has won several attacks, and is currently moving from Shimane Prefecture to Yamaguchi Prefecture." Zhuo Fei, who was soaking in the hot spring pool, took the battle report and read it, then turned his head to look at the location marked by the combat staff officer on the map, and then smiled indifferently.

"Since the Japanese believe that our airborne division will not be able to make much trouble on Honshu Island, then give an order to the airborne division and order them to carry out the second battle plan, to create a disturbance in Shimane Prefecture as much as possible, to drive the refugees to the eastern part of Honshu Island as much as possible, and to prepare for the follow-up troops to land on Honshu Island." The combat staff officer who received the order turned to leave, but Zhuo Fei, who was soaking in the hot spring pool, fell into deep thought, he now couldn't figure out why the Japanese army would be so big-hearted, and actually think that the airborne division would not pose a threat to Honshu Island.

Although the parachute airborne division does not have many troops, Zhuo Fei's energy on the airborne division is not small, especially after the airborne Tangjin operation, Zhuo Fei did his best to replace a batch of new weapons and equipment for the airborne division according to the information fed back by the officers of the airborne division, and the current airborne division will not fall behind even if it is against the main division of the Kwantung Army in the past. Without waiting for Zhuo Fei to think about it, the combat staff officer returned again, this time bringing the latest battle report on the battle on Kyushu Island.

More than 60,000 well-armed Bandar troops, assisted by 200,000 servants and 120,000 expeditionary troops, launched an attack on the Japanese-controlled area at the northern tip of Kyushu Island before the Battle of Shikoku began. More than 400,000 Japanese troops built a defensive line on the Asakura, Hita, and Yufu lines to actively resist the attack of the Dangko army, but the Dangkou army had broken through the position of the Yufu army within two hours, and at this moment, the troops of the Dangkou army that went north had been divided into two, and the main force was still attacking the Japanese defense line in Fukuoka Prefecture, and the rest of the separated Dangkou army directly crossed Yubu and went straight to Usa.

Zhuo Fei did not give the Dangkou army a specific battle plan, and after ordering the Dangkou army to attack north, all the tactical plans and adjustments were all the business of the Dangkou army's command. After reading the battle report from the Dangkou Army, and then synthesizing the map and sand table, Zhuo Fei was very relieved about the current tactics of the Dangkou Army, at least the command of the Dangkou Army already knew that a part of the troops would be divided to attack Usa and launch a diversion attack from the flank of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island.

Long before he ordered an attack on the Japanese army at the northern tip of Kyushu Island, Zhuo Fei had already thought that the Japanese army on Honshu Island would continue to send reinforcements, and Zhuo Fei didn't care at all that the Japanese army on Kyushu Island would continue to receive reinforcements, because he was ready to make the Japanese army on the Japanese mainland pay the price of blood and lessons on Kyushu Island. "You must remember that the Japanese are dogs, and it generally doesn't make sense to reason with them, so you have to reason with your fists, and only when you completely beat them down and completely beat them down, can they calm down and listen to us reason with them." Zhuo Fei's argument sounded like a joke to the guards around him, and only Zhuo Fei himself would not think so.

As Zhuo Fei had deduced in advance, when he learned that the Umbrella had once again launched a strong attack on the Japanese mainland against Japan, the Chongqing side, which had not moved, seemed to have suddenly changed its temperament, and not only transferred a new army unit stationed in the northeast south to the Jiaodong Peninsula, but also sent a large number of transport ships gathered in Hong Kong and Macao to Jiaozhou Bay in the name of transporting supplies.

When Zhuo Fei heard the news, he did not show a look of ecstasy, because in his inference, neither the Kuomintang nor the Communist Party could let go of the opportunity to get involved in the Japanese mainland. The Communist Party, which is relatively low-key compared to the Kuomintang, has not directly sent troops this time, but it has also strengthened the construction and transportation of the Yumen oil field, and a large amount of oil is being transported to Jiaodong through the newly laid railway, and the CCP top brass is planning to lay another double railway line connecting Yumen and Xi'an.

After paying more than 10,000 casualties, the servant army firmly controlled the landing site, and discharged more than a dozen offensive troops of 10,000 people, advancing to the inland of Shikoku Island. When the island of Shikoku was breached, the Japanese cabinet and the emperor were shocked, and Hideki Tojo, who was already in a hurry, was also worried.

Hideki Tojo, who claims to have more than 2 million troops on Honshu Island, is already a little confused, because the umbrella airborne troops that he did not value have attacked the local garrisons in Shimane and Yamaguchi prefectures one after another, and created more than 300,000 refugees, and these refugees who have been driven from their homes are being driven into neighboring Hiroshima Prefecture. The Japanese troops in the western part of Honshu Island also organized troops to encircle and suppress this umbrella airborne force many times, but each time they either repelled the opponent or disappeared from the opponent's trace.

Hideki Tojo's real concern was not about the refugees who had left their homeland, nor about the elusive umbrella airborne troops, but about the material transportation routes that might be interrupted because of the airborne troops. Once the transportation route between Honshu Island and Kyushu Island is blocked, the only way to provide reinforcements and supplies to the Japanese army on Kyushu Island is to take a sea route from Matsue to the northern part of Kyushu Island for transportation, but in this way, the cost of transportation will be relatively doubled.
