Chapter 580: The Japanese Government in a Dilemma
Nanjing, July 6, 1940
Wang Jingwei's farce is still being staged. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Suddenly, scattered gunshots rang out throughout the city of Nanjing. When Wang Jingwei went out, he saw that the blue sky and white sun flags had been beaten into a sieve, and after a while, telephone calls from various "government" organs came, and more than a dozen national flags they had planted everywhere were interrupted and knocked down.
Wang Jingwei saw that the Japanese were so faceless and angry, so he sent his capable subordinate Mei Siping to the headquarters of the Huaxia Dispatch Army to negotiate.
Seishiro Sakagaki, who was the chief of staff of the Huaxia Dispatch Army at the time, drooped his eyelids, and squinted his eyes while listening to Mei Siping's distress. Mei Siping was a little stunned when he saw Sakagaki Seishiro, and he spoke in a hurry, Sakagaki stood up without waiting for him to finish, and waved his hand impatiently.
"You go back and tell Dean Wang that the national flag should be replaced with a triangular apricot yellow cloth, so that you can rebuild a country, and you will be embarrassed, so you have to hang the blue sky and white sun flag. You can hang it, but don't make a difference from Chongqing. The Great Japanese Empire is a victorious country, and any soldier has the right to stop you from stealing from each other, don't think that you are an independent country, I tell you, you are nothing! If I don't go to you, forget it, you still come to me, and I order you to change the flag as soon as you go back! ā
Seeing this, Mei Siping had to go back to his life in frustration, Wang Jingwei was so angry after listening to Mei Siping's words that he trembled, but now he is just a dog raised by the Japanese, and what way can he oppose the master's decision, so he had to swallow his anger.
On the same night, Chairman Jiang heard Wang Jingwei's so-called "declaration on returning the capital" from the tape recorder, and was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "If you don't kill Wang Zhaoming, it is intolerable that your excellency Wang Zhaoming's head will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan!" ā
The war went on until 1940, Japanese civilians have begun to feel the harm brought to them by the war, from 1939, there was a rare drought in Japan, and the grain harvest generally failed, so the Japanese government in order to meet the needs of the war, the implementation of a limited purchase of grain policy, but also from the international market to buy hundreds of thousands of tons of flour to supplement the shortage of materials, plus the Japanese government will convert many factories to the military, resulting in a shortage of various materials, but also increased the tax policy, from 1940, The average Japanese person has to pay more than 20 yen in taxes every year, and the Japanese people are already feeling a little struggling.
In order to resolve international and domestic contradictions, the Japanese base camp put forward a plan to reduce the army, save military spending, continue its strength, and prepare for a big war; for this reason, the Ministry of War decided to put the policy of "using China to contain China" in the first place in resolving the Huaxia incident, and at the same time planned to reduce the total number of troops in China from 850,000 to 700,000, and then decrease it every year thereafter, to 40 in 1941.
However, this plan was doomed to be unrealized, and the senior generals in China shouted all day long that they wanted to continue to increase their troops against Huaxia, and they even joined forces to put pressure on the base camp, and in the end the base camp had to give in.
The Japanese base camp knows very well that the capital of the Chinese people is Chongqing, and as long as they don't destroy Chongqing, they will have no way to get out of China, so there is only one way to go, conquer by force!
However, it is not a simple matter to capture Chongqing, which is surrounded by mountains, and its geographical location is too superior, and the superior forces of the Japanese cannot be brought into play in such a terrain, so they can only occupy it one mountain after another. The most important thing is that the Japanese army no longer has extra forces to launch a large-scale campaign, and the occupation in Northeast China, North China, the Yangtze River, and the coastal areas has drained the Japanese forces, especially the existence of the Su Jin and the Third Army, which has consumed a large number of Japanese troops, so that they have no extra forces to complete the attack on Chongqing.
For this reason, the Japanese base camp put forward a policy of using air bombing to force the Chongqing government to submit, and under this guiding ideology, the Japanese air force carried out a major bombing of Chongqing. In fact, the Japanese bombed Chongqing from February 1938, but from this year the bombing entered a climax, and sometimes the number of bombing waves even reached more than 10 times a day.
On the morning of 9 July, eight Type 97 heavy explosive planes and six Type Zero fighters took off from Yichang, Hubei Province, and flew toward Chongqing.
Awahara Hui, who was piloting a Zero fighter, looked at the magnificent and vast mountains below him and couldn't help but praise on the intercom: "Yo Xi, what beautiful rivers and mountains, I really can't bear to drop the bomb." ā
The laughter of the rest of the pilots came from the headset, and one of the pilots said with a smile: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, if you are reluctant to still bomb, the people of China will not give in, as long as they are afraid of killing them first, they will not surrender." ā
"Yo Sai, Hashimoto-kun is right!" Awahara Hui smiled: "The people of China are like this, only when they are killed will they realize the majesty of the Great Japanese Empire, so that we can better rule this land." ā
"Haha, Your Excellency Shao Zuo is so right! For the people of China, they must be killed until they are afraid. The insolent laughter of several pilots came from the headset.
The flight formation slowly flew away from the mountain range, and was about to fly to the urban area of Chongqing, when suddenly a pilot suddenly shouted: "It's not good, the fighter of the Zhina!" ā
When everyone looked at it, they saw that more than a dozen small black dots suddenly appeared in the high sky in front of them, and these black dots were swooping down towards them. ā
With that, he swung his joystick, and the Zero rushed forward. In Su Yuanhui's view, the Chongqing government's fighters have been almost consumed, and even the rest are some backward ****3 fighters, and with the excellent performance of the Zero fighter, it is completely possible to shoot down all these Huaxia planes that do not know the height of the sky.
But as soon as he flew over, he sensed that something was wrong, because the oncoming fighters were something he had never seen before. The planes were painted grass green all over, and on the side of the engine radiator, a large, open shark's mouth was depicted, and above the mouth was painted a vivid fish's eye, giving people a ferocious and unusual feeling.
"Yaga, what kind of planes are these? Why I've never seen it! Awahara Teru was taken aback, it was not a good thing to meet a team of new fighters that had never been seen before.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the opposite group of planes take the lead in firing, and the dense fire was strafing towards them...... (To be continued.) )
