Far East, Kuye Island.

It was another bloody sleepless night, and the bloody battle of tens of thousands of German officers and soldiers left the Japanese troops landing on the southern beach of Kuye Island to less than 20,000 men, and most of them were pinned down by the defenders' fire in a limited area within 10 kilometers of the beach. On that night just now, the Japanese army had 35,000 dead and seriously wounded, and only a few days after the battle began, the Japanese army had already lost more than 1/10 of the attacking troops, and the situation was not optimistic.

On the German side, on the other hand, 4,321 people were killed overnight, 9,878 were wounded and left the battle, after the emergency airlift of troops from the direction of Qingdao, to the end of the second landing attack of the Japanese army, there were still nearly 48,000 German fighters guarding Kuye Island, of which about 29,000 were deployed on the southern beaches, and the rest were responsible for garrisoning the central and northern parts of Kuye Island.

At dawn, the beaches south of Atmouth were full of demoralized Japanese officers and soldiers and piles of supplies, and it was also a night of fierce fighting, and the German "Black Storm" troops, known for their tenacious style and bravery, gave the Japanese a taste of what combat effectiveness was, and the more than 10,000 Japanese troops who attempted to land in the direction of Atmouth finally gave up their attempt to break inland due to heavy casualties. However, holding the beachhead was not a good idea for a side lacking air cover, as German fighters, dive bombers, and Dornier 101 were able to kill many Japanese soldiers every time they came.

On the sea, the once powerful but twilight of the Japanese armored cruisers could not even survive three rounds in the face of the German bomber group, and the battleships covering the first batch of landing troops either sank or fled, and under the strong resistance of the Luftwaffe bomber forces, the two follow-up ships were in trouble in the mine area, and finally only a few troops and supplies were transported to the beach, and most of the remaining survivors withdrew to the sea far from the coast and waited for the opportunity.

Far East, Kuril Islands.

In the early morning of April 29, the sun had just risen, and most of the Japanese soldiers stationed on Shinchi Island were still asleep.

The sentries in the lookout post were tired, and on the sea, a water reconnaissance plane on routine patrol had just taken off. Suddenly, a group of black dots flashed out of the orange sunlight, and half a minute later, the mournful air raid sirens sounded, but unfortunately it was too late. Hundreds of warplanes painted with the Iron Cross logo destroyed the island's only airfield and Japanese planes near the runway with lightning speed, and the bombed oil depot continued to erupt tall and large fires. The heat of the flames made it impossible to get close, and the Japanese soldiers had time to enter their respective air defense positions, and the group of German planes had already finished their air raids and flew away.

An hour later, a fleet flying the Black Vulture Cross banner appeared to the east of Shinchi Island, and relentless shells quickly whizzed down on the helpless island. As one of the maritime barriers in the northeast of the Japanese mainland, Shinchi Island is garrisoned by a Japanese fortress garrison and an aviation squadron, and the strength is not weak, but eighty percent of the island's aviation alert force has been transferred to support the landing operation on Kuye Island, although there are more than 1,000 Japanese officers and soldiers left, and more than ten large-caliber fortress guns.

But these simply cannot withstand the double attack from the air and the sea. From 11 a.m.

A large number of German infantry rushed to the beach on amphibious landing ships and large landing craft, and this time, contrary to the usual habit and tactics of advancing in layers of mechanized troops, the Germans actually used a large number of infantry to fight the tactics of crowds with large consumption. As a result, the loss of nearly 1,000 soldiers also caused the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army to collapse rapidly.

At the same time as the Germans launched the landing operation, the German fleet also fought a small encounter with the Japanese alert fleet left behind in the Kuril Islands in the waters south of Shinchi Island. Although the German fleet was far from powerful, 1 new battle cruiser, 1 20,000-ton heavy cruiser, 1 ordinary heavy cruiser, 5 light cruisers, 16 destroyers, 1 medium aircraft carrier, 4 escort carriers, and more than a dozen auxiliary ships were not even larger than the Spee fleet trapped in Korsakov, but it was enough to suppress all the Japanese naval forces in the Kuril Islands, including aviation and artillery units stationed on several major islands.

The smoke of gunfire did not fill the entire sea, and the battle at sea retreated to Kunashir Island, which had strong fortifications, even more than the offensive and defensive battles of Shinchi Island, and the victorious German fleet did not continue the pursuit, but covered the landing of follow-up troops and supplies near Shinchi Island.

That night, 206 Dornier II bombers and 115 Dornier III bombers took off from Qingdao and flew to the Tokyo area of Japan to bomb them. More than 1,600 tons of bombs, incendiary bombs and a small number of chemical bombs added another scar of war to the symbol of Japan's industrialization, and although it was the largest German air raid in two months, the Japanese headquarters did not pay enough attention to it, and a large number of fighters were still limited to the troops attacking Kuye Island in order to achieve as much battlefield air supremacy as possible.

On the night of April 29, thanks to the efforts of German officers and soldiers, the first bulldozer was successfully transported to Shinchi Island, and the work of repairing and expanding the original Japanese airfield was in full swing, and it was dawn the next day. In addition to the original runway, which has been completely restored, an improvised runway for fighter and light bombers to take off and land has also been largely completed.

On 30 April, the Japanese Navy dispatched the battleships "Yamashiro", heavy cruisers "Kako", and "Chokai" from the Third Fleet attacking Kuye Island to the Kuril Islands for reinforcements, among which the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruiser "Chokai" with a displacement of 16,000 tons is the newest and strongest heavy cruiser of the Japanese Navy, and its sortie also gives the duel between the new heavy cruisers of the German and Japanese navies an opportunity to be staged on the battlefield.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, thanks to the efforts of the Chinese government, the two transit airports in Guiyang and Changsha were finally completed and opened to Germany, and German bombers and transport planes taking off from Calcutta could arrive in Qingdao after two transits in Guiyang and Changsha. Through this relatively expensive but very effective new route, the German bombing force in Qingdao was rapidly expanded from four bomber wings to ranks, and the Chinese government also conditionally opened up some areas around Qingdao to be used as temporary German bases.

On 1, 3 and 6 February, the Luftwaffe stationed in Qingdao dispatched 420, 455, and 520 bombers respectively to carry out air strikes on several important military targets on the Japanese mainland. Although the Japanese Government strongly protested against this, it was not worth mentioning at all compared with the sabotage, assassination, and kidnapping incidents caused by the Japanese army in Germany and the German-controlled areas through various means.

On May 5, 70 nautical miles southwest of Shinchi Island, a decisive naval battle took place, as expected by the warring parties, and there was no sneak attack. There was no conspiracy, and a hard-fought battle of equal strength was fought in a sunny and windy weather. The Japanese army with 1 battleship, 3 heavy cruisers, 2 armored cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 7 destroyers and 31 torpedo boats against the German ground battle cruisers 1 battlecruiser, 2 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and 11 destroyers. Besieged by a swarm of German ship-based torpedo planes and land-based dive bombers, the "Yamashiro" failed to survive to the last and capsized at 2:42 p.m. 60 nautical miles southwest of Shinchi Island. However, the "Lewald", which had a radar and advanced fire control system, was still imposing when it was outnumbered by one enemy and two enemies, and the final result was that the Luftwaffe and Navy divided the two Japanese heavy cruisers, and the "Lewald" was only slightly reduced by 15 bullets, which once again proved how excellent the design of the Scharnhorst-class heavy cruisers was.

After inflicting heavy damage on the Japanese fleet, the German fleet and marines began to attack the islands around Shinchishima, and thanks to the support of warplanes taking off from Shinchijima, the ensuing battle went much smoother than before. By May 11, there was an unusual "boom" on the originally deserted island of Shinchi and several surrounding islands, with a few flat areas on these islands with wide straight runways, including 32 large bomber runways and various small and medium-sized runways. The number of bombers flying from the Aleutian Islands, thousands of miles away, is also increasing at more than 100 per day. The Kuril Islands, which served as a defensive island chain in the northeast of the Japanese archipelago, were unexpectedly becoming the new fulcrum of the German bombing of the Japanese mainland.

On 13 February, the Germans finally "scraped" 500 long-range and ultra-long-range bombers deployed on Shinchi Island. At 5 p.m. that day, dozens of airports in Xinzhi, Kuye and Qingdao were located. More than 1,200 large bombers began to flap their wings and prepare to take off, with the German High Command issued the combat order, these ruthless killing machines finally began to act, in their belly, 2130 tons of high-explosive bombs, 2200 tons of incendiary bombs and a full 1600 tons of chemical bombs will make countless Japanese once again experience the horror of war rather than the thrill, and this also means that the chemical bombing of Japan has entered a new stage - large-scale chemical warfare!

Berlin, Germany.

Although the progress of the war was a little tortuous, it was still developing very smoothly on the whole, which made the anger that had been held in Chentian's chest for a long time have a place to vent, but the mood was finally relieved, but he still had to sit in the deputy director of the police department, Tobias. Reitz listened to his "odious" report in front of him.

"In early May. A total of 14 explosions, 9 arsons, 3 poisonings, 1 assassination, and 4 kidnappings occurred across the country, resulting in the death of 33 German citizens, the injury of 126 others, and the direct economic loss of about 7.5 million marks; So far, one of the three abducted technical experts and one businessman has been rescued, and the families of the deceased, the injured and the homeless have been properly accommodated; With the cooperation of the local garrison, the local police departments arrested a total of 44 suspects in these sabotage incidents, most of them Asians, but also French, English and Russians who were hired! ”

The short report made the atmosphere extremely heavy all of a sudden, and Chen Tian lowered his head and mourned in silence for a long time.

Keep in mind that this is only a 10-day special report, and if it accumulates into months, quarters, or even years, the numbers will be very scary. But those saboteurs are like "Xiaoqiang" with extremely tenacious vitality

Generally, no matter how you impose martial law and how you search and suppress, you can't stop driving and killing.

After a while, Chen Tiancai instructed: "The military-civilian joint defense system in various places must be built as soon as possible, and the war will not end tomorrow, so I suggest that you apply to the Congress for an additional budget of 200,000 policemen!" Well, and the customs, the manpower will also be increased! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Tian didn't look up, but it is conceivable that the poor deputy chief of the police department must be relieved, in the face of these depressing reports, even people with a good temper will be angry, Chen Tian is no exception, but anger is anger, Chen Tian will not be angry with innocent people because of this, over time, most of the time even the fire is too lazy to send it.

Seeing that the other party had nothing else to add, Chen Tian waved his hand, "Okay, you can go out!" ”

"Yes!" Retz left the room quickly, but as another person entered, Chentian's little plan to be quiet by himself fell through.

"Your Majesty, a telegram has been sent from the front that the bombing operation has begun, and 11 bomber wings have already departed from their respective airfields!"

Feng. Zecht's voice remained steady, but as time went on, both the human and the voice inevitably grew old.

"Oh, 1,100 planes?" Chentian's eyes finally left his desk, and when he thought of the bombs flying all over the sky, Chentian felt an indescribable pleasure, and it was a pleasant thing to ravage the Japanese.

"It's 1210! Most of the bomber wings have been additionally strengthened, and bombers departing from Shinchishima airfield can carry more bombs due to their short range! Zekett didn't have much excitement on his face at this time, maybe he had seen a lot of wind and waves, and it was not surprising that such a military operation would be done.

"Well, that's good!" Chen Tian became interested, held his chin and said: "Not only is the density of the bombing increased, but we should also increase the material aid to Kuye Island from the direction of Shinchi Island!" Of course, bombing and aid are sometimes incompatible, so let's focus on aid! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zechter agreed in a very serious tone, however, he then made no other report and did not take his own leave.

"Uh, my general, is there anything else?" Chen Tian's words were a little "knowingly asked", because Zekt was really "silent" among the German generals.

After a few seconds of apprehension, Zekett said in a slightly lower tone, "Your Majesty, can we talk privately?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Tian generously accepted the other party's "private chat invitation", although there were only two of them in this room.

After receiving Chentian's signal of "please sit", Zecht did not sit down, but said quite worriedly:

"I've seen the test and test reports of chemical weapons below, and it's a very cost-effective weapon, especially now that the weather is quite suitable for them! However, I always think that the use of these horrific weapons is an inhumane act! ”

"Humanity is inhumane, not only look at the weapon, but also look at the object of use! If the use of chemical weapons was to be forfeited in exchange for the lives of hundreds of thousands of German soldiers in exchange for victory in the war, which would be inhumane to the German people? Chen Tian said the lines that he had already thought of, and while they were talking, the black pressure group was flying over the microwave rough sea towards Japan, those chemical bombs not only took the lives of the other party's soldiers and civilians, but also destroyed the spirit and will of the other side, such a bombing is destined to erase this history with a significant stroke, and the seeds of hatred between the two peoples will be planted.
