Section 15 Declaration of War (I)

“…… Dear people of the Empire, soldiers of the Empire, just four days ago, the Empire suffered the worst loss in history, and now, our warships are still burning in the harbor, and the corpses of the soldiers are still lying on the docks, and all of this is the same thing that once bowed down to the Empire hundreds of years ago, once received the most selfless help from the Empire when it suffered from war, once received the most powerful assistance from the Empire when it was invaded, once received the full support of the Empire when it was backward, and was defeated by us in the last war, And then we forgive us for the war of aggression waged by a ******** that we can never forgive, who had received selfless help from every subject of the Empire after a great earthquake, and who had generously supported the Empire on the verge of economic collapse. Perhaps, we can forgive our relatives who have made mistakes, but we must not forgive those enemies who tried to bring the empire to ruin, who killed our loved ones. We will never forgive such an enemy. The flames of war have been ignited, and this is not what we want to see, and this is not something we can decide. However, we can decide one thing, and that is who will hold out to the end. For thousands of years, the Empire has never been defeated by any opponent, never bowed to any enemy, it was so, it is now, and I am sure it will be so. All the people of the Empire, the soldiers, peace has left us, now it is time for us to lay down the plough in our hands, take up the sword that has been hidden, and we must tell by action that any enemy who provokes the Empire will play with fire*. We have to tell any enemy with our actions that the Empire will once again hold out to the end, that the Empire will be invincible, and that we, our country, and our nation will win the final victory, the greatest victory! ”

Prime Minister Xue Xiyue's speech lasted for more than half an hour, although he was not an excellent orator, but his speech was enough to incite the hatred and anger in the hearts of every imperial subject and imperial soldier, and it was enough to mobilize the fighting passion of everyone in the empire.

"Now, in my capacity as Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet, I have the honour to declare that the Empire shall enter a state of total war with immediate effect. Every subject of the empire, every soldier, for you, for your relatives, for your homeland, for your country, for your nation, from now on, contribute every part of your strength to the empire, to this war provoked by the enemy, to our final victory! The battle horn has sounded, beat our war drums, put on our armor, take our weapons, and we will fight the enemy to the end, never giving in! ”

The four young people were all excited, even Tan Renhao. Although the voice coming out of the radio was not strong enough, although it was not heavy enough, Xue Xiyue had already used his voice to tell the soldiers and civilians of every empire, and told the world that the Tang Empire would use all its strength to carry out this war to the end at this time of life and death, and would defeat every enemy until the final victory was achieved.

"!" Hao Dongjue seemed more excited than anyone else, "It should have started a long time ago, otherwise we wouldn't have been caught off guard by Little Japan." Renhao, has our plan been approved? ”

Tan Renhao nodded and took the cigarette handed by Lei Shaoqing. "It's been approved, but we need to come up with a detailed battle plan as soon as possible. Chief of Staff Liao Hanxiang will fully cooperate with us, and Commander Wu Xianyu will also give us the greatest support. Right now. All we need to do is refine this plan as soon as possible. ”

"Then you can arrange the task quickly!" Hao Dongjue turned the chair around and climbed on the back of the chair.

"yes, what should we all do, you give us a task." Chang Jianxin also set his sights on Tan Renhao.

Tan Renhao glanced at the three partners and said, "You are still responsible for your own part." Dongjue, you have to pay attention to the situation on the side of the aviation unit, this time the three aircraft carriers will arrange combat aircraft according to the maximum carrier size, so you have to let the aviation force adapt to this change as soon as possible. ”

Hao Dongjue nodded. "No problem, I'll go to the wing tomorrow."

"Lao Chang, you cooperate with General Ji Xiaobin, this time some warships of the Second Fleet will be transferred to the Fifth Fleet to strengthen the air defense of the Fifth Fleet, so you must pay attention to this aspect."

"Don't worry, I will keep in touch with the chief of staff at any time, and when the battleships of the Second Fleet arrive, I will go to the fleet."

Tan Renhao hesitated for a moment before finally saying to Lei Shaoqing. "Shaoqing, you are not very familiar with the situation of the Fifth Fleet, so you are responsible for helping me collect and organize battlefield intelligence. Our plan cannot be completely certain, and it must be adjusted at any time according to the actual battlefield situation, so this part is very important. ”

Lei Shaoqing nodded, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. "I know what to do, and you're completely relieved."

"So, let's all hurry." Tan Renhao stood up, "The warships of the Second Fleet will arrive in five days, and the additional warplanes will also arrive in these days. The Fifth Fleet must be ready to set off at any time. As long as the opportunity presents itself, we must not miss it. ”

All four of them took active action, and at this time, the situation on the battlefield was also changing rapidly.

On the fifth day of the war, the Japanese army launched the Ryukyu Island landing campaign, and the first group of Japanese troops to land reached 30,000. The Army Command also made the decision to abandon the Ryukyu Island on the same day, and in the absence of the Navy's help, the Army Aviation urgently organized a group of transport planes to fly to the Ryukyu Island at great risk, preparing to withdraw the important personnel on the island. As a result, the transport planes were intercepted by Japanese fighters on the way, and after losing dozens of them, they returned in vain.

On the same day, the Japanese army launched a large-scale offensive operation on Bo Ni Island, encircling more than 20,000 imperial marines and land forces who were defending Miri. The Navy and Army Aviation organized a mass evacuation, but on that day fewer than 2,000 troops were evacuated. When Japan's Southern Fleet appeared near the Tammelan Islands, the evacuation operation was aborted.

On the sixth day of the war, Japanese troops landed on the island of Luzon. The Imperial defenders on the island organized a defensive line in Manila, and another part of the army, which numbered about 10,000 men, retreated to Laaag to the north, preparing to withdraw to the Imperial mainland. On the same day, the Japanese army landed on the island of Sumatra and threatened the Lion City from the south, and the imperial troops stationed in the Lion City had already retreated to the Malay Peninsula on their own initiative, preparing to organize a defense in Malacca.
