Chapter 671: Leaping Horse into Tokyo (Finale)

In fact, whether it is Han Yunhua or Zhukov, as well as MacArthur and Nimitz, they can see very clearly that behind the madness of the Japanese army is the most direct manifestation of their strong crossbow, a country needs the vast number of young people to defend with their lives as part of the weapon, the courage of these young people is admirable, but it is more revealing. The more crazy the month is, the more helpless and sad they are at this time, and the more it proves that the day is getting closer and closer to defeat.

Despite this, the Japanese counterattack still caused huge losses to the Allies, the Soviet Union sank 12 warships, the United States 11, and the Chinese 6 warships, fortunately, because the vast majority of the Chinese navy warships are old cruisers and frigates, so they were not used as the target of the Japanese suicide planes at all, so the losses of the warships of the several Japanese suicide attacks were minimal.

Although the losses were not small, the Allies also achieved great results, and the Allies continued to carry out airborne operations in various parts of Honshu with a strong transportation capacity as a guarantee, and the largest airborne scale reached more than 70,000 troops, and a large number of Allied troops appeared in some prefectures and cities near Tokyo.

The Allied forces accepted Han Yunhua's suggestion and no longer sought landing operations alone, nor did they adopt the traditional war of seizing islands, but adopted the strategy of encircling the center on all sides and opening up the center, carrying out landing operations along the coastline where landings could be made, and carrying out inland operations by airborne field troops at the same time as landing operations.

By mid-November, Han Yunhua basically controlled Kyushu Island, except for the 40,000 remnants of Japanese troops in Kagoshima and the 60,000 Japanese troops in Nagasaki who were still stubbornly resisting. The entire island of Kyushu has been completely occupied. But the capital of Kyushu is Nagasaki. Therefore, the "Day" himself does not admit that the squadron has completely occupied Kyushu Island.

In the Hokkaido region, the Soviet army had completely surrounded Anan Yuji's department, and Zhukov did not urge Anan Yuji to surrender, but continued to bomb the Japanese army with artillery and aircraft, and this situation has been maintained for more than four days.

Honshu. Hyogo Prefecture.

The 12th US paratrooper group has been attacking this area for three consecutive days, and the two sides have even engaged in fierce street fighting. Hyogo Prefecture is located in the Kansai region in the middle of the Nichi Islands, bordering the Hinachi Sea to the north, Osaka Bay to the south, and facing the Pacific Ocean through the Seto Inland Sea. It is also a prefecture that borders the Seto Inland Sea, and is one of the centers of the region and the largest prefecture in the Kansai region. So the Allies carried out an airborne strike on Hyogo Prefecture, as long as Hyogo Prefecture was taken. The entire Japanese army's strategic system had to be adjusted in real time, otherwise the Allies would soon be able to carry out a larger-scale landing operation based in Hyogo Prefecture.

Hyogo Prefecture was garrisoned by the 186th, 192nd, and 133rd Divisions of the 3rd Army of the Second General Army of the enemy, as well as a large number of militia units and reserve units.

The battle has been going on for three days and three nights, both the Japanese army and the American army are already exhausted, at this time the commander-in-chief of the 12th Parachute Group of the US Army, Major General Hansen, can not help but be a little anxious, after dawn the Japanese reinforcements will arrive, then the offensive and defensive situation of the two sides will take a major turn, and it is likely that they will become the defensive side.

"Daniel, where has the squadron been, and how long are we going to stay in this damn place. Damn it? Major General Hansen said with some anxiety, as the commander-in-chief of the paratrooper group, he knew very well what the tasks of his paratrooper group were.

"I'm sorry sir, they're special forces, if they don't take the initiative to contact us, then we won't be able to contact them at all, no matter what the itinerary estimates, I'm afraid they're about to arrive at the scheduled attack position." said Daniel, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Paratrooper Group.

"Daniel, you immediately send a telegram to Command asking them to give us reinforcements immediately. Although we are bait, to attract the attention of the Japanese themselves for those damned Chinese people, we are not here to send us to death, if we are surrounded by the Japanese themselves, with their temper and character. I'm afraid none of us will ever be able to return to the United States. Hansen said angrily.

At the same time as Hansen was talking to Daniel, in the Allied General Headquarters. MacArthur, with a large pipe, was also talking to Admiral Nimitz.

"Man, do you think the Chinese can succeed?" Admiral MacArthur asked, although MacArthur and Nimitz had always been at odds, and the two would quarrel as soon as they met, and sometimes even quarrel in front of the president, but they still admired each other on the march and fighting.

Han Yunhua is a real strategist, although I don't like adventurous generals, because they are always doing something that they are not sure of, just like the great Lord Douglas MacArthur, but I still very much agree with this general of China, because he is not as proud as our generals, and he can accept our advice. Although it is unlikely that the attack on Tokyo will succeed with a few thousand men, I believe that the Chinese will create a miracle, because he is a miracle in itself. MacArthur knew that the one Nimitz was referring to was Han Yunhua, the great general of China.

However, he was still very dissatisfied with hearing from Nimitz what he didn't like to hear, so he retorted: "Dear Nimitz, great five-star admiral, I don't like conservative officers like you either, I smell the decay of bureaucracy in you, you have lost the blood of soldiers, and if all the officers produced by our West Point Military Academy are like you, I will blush because of where I once served as a principal." But dear Nimitz, I'm still a little worried about the Chinese, although the general said that all the special forces he sent this time are special forces, but the special forces are not angels, bullets can still kill them, so I think it is necessary for us to intensify our strikes in the area around Tokyo and create conditions for them. ”

"Well, MacArthur, for more than a year, I have found that what you said is the most correct, the day himself is so crazy, their suicide planes are so terrible, our navy soldiers now tremble at the sound of the heavenly engine. They are demons from hell. It's horrible. If we continue to fight like this, when we have completely occupied the main island, our great United States of America will probably suffer more than a million casualties, which is a terrible number. Since the Chinese want to take the risk and give it a try, then why don't we do it, even if we fail, there is nothing to lose for us, right? Nimitz said with a smile.

In fact, the plan that MacArthur and Nimitz talked about was a surprise attack on Tokyo that Han Yunhua put forward after he had made a decisive breakthrough in the battle on Kyushu Island, and the main force of this battle plan was Han Yunhua's special operations division, but it needed the assistance of the US military.

The overall battle plan was as follows: The US military took advantage of its air supremacy over Japan. Use transport planes to airdrop a large number of combat troops to the prefecture not far from Tokyo, and then launch an attack to attract Japanese troops stationed in Tokyo to reinforce, and be sure to transfer the main Japanese forces in Tokyo out of Tokyo (5. Update as soon as possible). Create conditions for the special combat team to surprise attack Tokyo.

The surrounding counties and cities in the east are satellite cities of Tokyo, and the strategic location of any one is extremely important, and there is absolutely no room for failure, otherwise there will be a fatal hole in the complete defense system of the Japanese army. Therefore, Han Yunhua judged that if these towns were attacked, the main force of the Japanese army would definitely go to the rescue. Wait until the battle gets to ...
