Chapter 339 Three Letters of Electricity are Energized
As the leader of the Salvation Association, Toda Nosuke undoubtedly attached great importance to the battle to recover Hokkaido. Before giving the order to take action, Toda was also worried that something would go wrong.
Compared with the Japanese garrison troops stationed in Hokkaido, the loyal and brave troops drawn from the National Salvation Association still had a certain disadvantage in numbers. If the garrison really resisted to the end, he was also worried about dragging all of Hokkaido into the flames of war.
A chaotic Hokkaido is not what he wants. For this reason, in addition to some recalcitrant elements, Toda Nosuke wanted to persuade the Japanese troops stationed here to surrender. In this way, it will also help the Salvation Association to gain a foothold in this area.
Less than an hour after the order was given, Toda Nosuke's most concerned troops, attacking Zaza, sent a telegram informing them that Zazau had been taken. Except for the annihilation of some major military and political officials, the rest of the garrison and police were absorbed.
Hearing the news, Toda Nosuke couldn't help but say, "Soga! Loyal and brave soldiers, worthy of loyal and brave people! ”
Many of the senior leaders of the Salvation Association who stayed with him in the headquarters felt the same excitement about Toda Nosuke's excitement, but they knew that the combat effectiveness of the loyal warriors was actually not strong. After all, many officers and soldiers were born as prisoners of war.
The soldiers who joined later were somewhat different from those recruited by the Japanese army. But no matter what, they are still very happy to receive the good news from them, and they feel a kind of pride and excitement that 'the great cause has been accomplished'.
Fortunately, Nosuke Toda was not carried away by the victory, and taking Hokkaido was only the first step in the plan. Whether they can hold Hokkaido in the later period is the most critical thing for them. If they can't hold it, they will also be hit hard.
Thinking of this, Toda Nosuke quickly said: "Send electricity to the submarine formation and the flight group, and let the flight group take over the airport and fighters." Set up our radar, I need to know the domestic reaction.
Let the garrison troops in various places start to put up notices of peace and prepare to take over the entire territory of Hokkaido. Let our intelligence agencies keep a close eye on military movements in Tokyo Prefecture and report any situation immediately. Gentlemen, this is just a good start, understand? ”
"Hey!"
Even in the National Salvation Association, the so-called democratic system has been implemented. But many of the top leaders of the National Salvation Association knew that the real person in power was Toda's nosuke. In addition, it is Zhao Tiehu, who is far away in the South Seas.
As long as Zhao Tiehu always maintains trust in Toda, then Toda's position in the Salvation Association cannot be shaken. On the contrary, if Toda Nosuke dares to go against Zhao Tiehu's wishes, the consequences can be imagined.
With Toda's instructions again, the Japanese Loyal Army, which had taken over the cities of Hokkaido, also began to post notices of peace and security. Toda Nosuke, who had been with the Koka Army for a long time, also knew the importance of uniting ordinary people.
If the Salvation Association can get the support of these local residents, it will play a more important role in their future efforts to defend Hokkaido. For a time, many residents of Hokkaido, who were awakened by the sound of gunfire, also felt the clouds of war.
Whether they have heard of the Salvation Association or not, the people know very well that the country will not indulge in such behavior. It is inevitable that troops will be sent to forcibly retake Hokkaido.
This also means that Hokkaido, which could have been far away from war, may also become a land of war in the future. If there is a real fight, the peaceful life enjoyed by the people in the past will also be completely shattered.
But for many of Hokkaido's poor people, they rejoiced at the sight of the officials who had ruled and exploited them being captured by the Loyal Army. These poor people, who have been suppressed for a long time, also burst out with great enthusiasm.
As one of Japan's most important grain producing areas, the majority of the Japanese population lives here. And the group that the Salvation Association advocates to rely on are these poor people, who occupy the majority. The real sufferers are those with status and power.
Fortunately, Toda Nosuke knew that it would not work to rely entirely on the poor. In such cases, the targets of his execution were often officials and businessmen who were more angry with the public. Most of those with good reputations have implemented wooing policies.
After a night of chaos, the residents of Hokkaido, who were rising the next day, seemed to be in no mood to work. On the other hand, before the Japanese army could react, a large number of fishing boats cruising in the Sea of Japan continued to transport personnel and material resources into Hokkaido.
These fishing boats and merchant ships are all subordinate forces of the National Salvation Association. In addition to the transfer of a large number of die-hard loyalists of the National Salvation Association, it is natural that the transfer of materials, weapons and ammunition is also indispensable. With all this, the National Salvation Association can be invincible.
Nosuke Toda, who has been transferred to Zasu City, looks very excited when he looks at the city he has taken over. Just to ensure safety, Toda Nosuke did not work in the city hall that he took over.
Instead, an air defense post with air defense facilities was found, and a temporary command was formed. And Zhao Tiehu, who was far away in Nanyang at this moment, also received a telegram from Nosuke Toda in the early morning, and Zhao Tiehu was also very happy to see this telegram.
smiled and said, "Not bad! It seems that this guy Toda Nosuke has really grown a lot. Overnight, the entire Hokkaido was brought down, and I believe it would also shock the Japanese military. It only takes a few waves of attacks for them to be able to stand their ground.
Send a report to the Far Eastern mercenary group and ask them to send no less than 1,000 mercenaries to Hokkaido to fight with Toda Nosuke. In addition, submarine formations blockaded the Sea of Japan and carried out surprise attacks on Japanese ships.
When it comes to ammunition replenishment, the submarine formations will all go to the secret base in Vladivostok for replenishment. I want to see if the little devil dares to trouble the Soviet army at this time. In the Far East, little devils have always been very greedy! ”
Regarding the matter of saving the Congress, Zhao Tiehu did not want to get involved too much. In addition to sending a small number of mercenaries to participate in the battle, more of the main battle was still entrusted to the loyal army formed by Toda Nosuke.
After all, to some extent, this loyal army is also a puppet army unit formed by Zhao Tiehu. He really wanted to see who was better when it came to fighting the Japanese army, who was also born in the Japanese army.
At least Zhao Tiehu believes that the Japanese troops who were ordered to go to Hokkaido to participate in the encirclement and suppression will also take care of it when fighting against the loyal and brave forces! After all, the officers and soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army had the same identity as them earlier!
A new round of U.S. offensive is about to begin, and most of the elite troops used by the Japanese army for defense are gathered on the outlying islands. Now a sudden surge of anti-government forces has emerged behind him, which will also completely disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army.
Even the Allies, on the other hand, did not want Japan to be taken to power by the Salvation Congress. But the Salvation Association's move this time, the Allies will not be able to appreciate it. This also means that if Toda Nosuke wants to take power in the future, the allies must also give goodwill.
A large number of ships suddenly headed north for Hokkaido, and the Japanese could not pay attention even if they wanted to. Not long after, the Japanese sent a telegram to Hokkaido to inquire about the situation there, but found that all the radio stations had lost contact.
This also caused Koiso Kuniaki, who had just taken office, to receive a telegram from the head of the special high school section, and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Hokkaido was captured by the Salvation Congress? ”
"Quite possibly! Just last night and early in the morning, a large number of ships under the command of the Salvation Association frantically headed north. In order to verify this behavior of the Salvation Association, we quickly called the Hokkaido garrison, but found that all the troops did not answer.
After sending the nearest reconnaissance plane to Hokkaido for reconnaissance, it was discovered that our reconnaissance plane had been shot down. It can be seen that Hokkaido is only afraid that it will be attacked by the Salvation Association. At present, we have sent an intelligence team to the island to investigate. ”
"Yaga! How is this possible? Hasn't the National Salvation Association been helping those victims? ”
Kuniaki Koiso, who was completely shocked by the news, knew very well how serious the consequences of Hokkaido's occupation by the Salvation Congress were. To some extent, this is no less than a big slap in the face to the emperor and cabinet ministers!
At this time, in the name of the chairman of the Salvation Congress, Toda Nosuke issued a clear telegram to the world, announcing the formal formation of the Japanese provisional government in Hokkaido, calling on all the people to respond to the Salvation Congress and overthrow the current government.
Such a clear letter is undoubtedly a bit earth-shattering. Even the Japanese emperor and cabinet ministers, who were currently holding a meeting, realized that this telegram would seriously damage the morale of the officers and men fighting overseas.
Chongqing and Yan'an, who also received the telegram, couldn't help but think of it after receiving the telegram. This so-called salvation association and loyal soldiers are actually puppets supported by Zhao Tiehu.
But at this time, giving a fatal stab to the Japanese army from behind will inevitably affect the progress of the battle. In addition to the National Salvation Association's telegram announcing its intention to overthrow the Emperor-led cabinet government, the Cambodian Kingdom also issued a telegram.
In the name of the king, he issued a telegram calling on all the people to fight back against the invaders occupying the Cambodian kingdom and to fight for the independence of the Cambodian kingdom. Even when a telegram was sent, an insurgent army attacked.
Although in the eyes of the Japanese troops stationed in Cambodia, the rebel army was very disheveled, and the weapons seemed to be somewhat varied. However, the sudden battle still caught the garrison by surprise, and many Japanese troops began to retreat.
During the war in northern Burma, the main force of the Japanese army was wiped out by the Allies and the expeditionary force. At present, there are not many Japanese troops stationed in various places, and the Japanese army is also exhausted in the face of the insurrectionary troops pouring out from all over the country.
If it is said that the telegram sent by the Cambodian Puzhai Kingdom made the Japanese army feel like it was worse. Soon after, the Thai rebels also issued a telegram calling on the people to drive out the Japanese army and overthrow the current military government, which once again detonated the war situation in Southeast Asia.
On the other hand, the Xinghua Army, which had been in the limelight earlier, seemed to be very low-key and continued to stay in Nanyang. However, judging from the means by which the Xinghua Army frequently dispatched additional submarines and air forces to various places earlier, the Xinghua Army was ready to go to war at any time.
Even many people who were shocked by the three clear codes of electricity in a day gradually realized that behind these three messages, I am afraid that the existence of the Xinghua Army is indispensable. It is even very likely that this is all from Zhao Tiehu's careful planning.
Leaders with this awareness are also truly aware that there is a force emerging in the Asian region, a force that they cannot ignore. And this force is bound to change the entire Asian war situation!
