The battle on the border between China and North Korea came to an end as soon as it began, and this move not only disappointed Naosaburo Okabe, but also made Tokyo feel very frustrated, and Tokyo could not wait to announce a victory in the mountains outside the Linjiang River, announcing a great victory in the mountains outside the Linjiang River, annihilating 10,000 troops of the Chinese army and destroying 200 tanks and armored vehicles 4∴8065

"..., the Kwantung Army deserves to be the first elite in the world, in such a passive situation, it still seized the fighter plane, carried forward the samurai spirit, annihilated the elite of the aggressive Shina Army in one fell swoop, and taught the despicable and rampant Shina people a hard lesson..."

"Poof" Tatsutakanosuke couldn't help laughing, Tanabe also sighed and shook his head, there were no lights in the yard, only stars were blinking in the sky, and the wind blowing from the Sea of Japan blew over the yard, leaving a faint fishy smell

There was a tea set on the square table, and a small radio on the other side, the volume was not turned up, but it still spread far away in the quiet night, and the cries of frogs could be heard from the surrounding fields

Mrs. Ishikawa chatted with Mrs. Nakamura and Mrs. Nakamura while doing her work not far away, and her eyes glanced over here from time to time because a large number of factories had been destroyed, and the government had subcontracted some military supplies to families, and they were now making subcontracted first-aid kits, hand-sewn, and they could get 05 yen for each processed one, and they could make six or seven a day, which was a lot of income for families in difficulty

"If Manchuria is lost, there will be no iron ore and coal mines, and it will be difficult to supply materials" Tanabe shook his head and said: "Ligaojun, your judgment seems to be right, the war can be fought for a year at most"

Tatetakanosuke shook the paper fan, his expression was a little carefree, he looked at the dark night sky: "The Shina Air Force hasn't been here for several days"

"Fukushima Sendai was blown up," Tanabe sighed, "Most of the major industrial cities have been bombed, and I am afraid that the logistics are difficult, and some soldiers have heard that they don't even have guns, so they can only train with wooden guns"

"Tanabe-kun, there are too many things on your heart, the most important thing now is that you can harvest food in the autumn and hope that Asunasu will bless you, and the Shina Air Force can't look down on our room and that piece of land" Tatsutakanosuke turned his head and shouted: "Mrs. Ishikawa is out of water, please add some trouble"

"Alas, this is coming," Mrs. Ishikawa hurriedly put down her work and went to the kitchen, lifted the paddy field, looked at Mrs. Ishikawa's back, and asked, "When are you going to get married?" Or do you want to go on like this? ”

"That's it for now" Tatsutakanosuke replied, Tanabe was a little unexpected, Tatsunosuke and Mrs. Ishikawa had actually lived together, Tanabe thought they were going to get married soon, and Tatsunosuke sighed quietly: "She has already been a widow once, she can't be a second time, and when the war is over, we will get married again"

Tanabe became more and more unexpected: "We have been discharged from the army, and we will not fight anymore"

"It's... Is it? According to the practice of the Japanese army, it is impossible for officers like them who have made serious mistakes to be recalled to the army without special reasons

At this time, Mrs. Ishikawa came over with a hot water bottle, poured water on them in the moonlight, and then put the water bottle aside, and Tatsutakanosuke did not avoid her, so he said directly: "Tanabe-kun, it is undeniable that you and I still have the ability to command a squad or a volunteer team."

"So what?" Tanabe was still puzzled, and Tatsunosuke shook his head: "From the Battle of Northern Burma to the present, the army has lost a large number of officers with combat experience, and now the officers who have graduated are all Cheng, and it took three years to complete their studies, but now it is only five months, Tanabe-kun, compared to them, we are more than enough to serve as a squad leader, at least we can lead the National Volunteer Corps to launch a meat bullet charge"

Tanabe was stunned, and it took a long time before he gasped, this possibility is too great According to the recently issued order for the total force of the war, the whole of Japan is forming a national volunteer team, every neighborhood in the city, every village in the countryside, a national volunteer team must be formed, and all children over the age of ten and old men and women under the age of seventy will be incorporated into the volunteer team

The exercise of the volunteers was very simple, mainly crawling forward, crawling forward with explosive bags, and then pounced on the imitation tank, Mrs. Ishikawa had participated in this exercise, and Tatsunosuke saw it and told her that it had been proven on the battlefield that this kind of human bomb was of no use to the tank, and that it was a useless sacrifice to blow up the tank

Mrs. Ishikawa was very surprised, because this was what the combat manual said, and the instructor also taught according to this manual, and after Tanabe read their manual, he tore the manual to shreds in a rage, and then scolded the military headquarters

Late at night, Mrs. Ishikawa was lying in the arms of Tachitakanosuke, **'s delicate body was dazzlingly white in the dark, Tachitakanosuke stroked the soft skin, the fair skin was slippery Mrs. Ishikawa quietly lowered her smooth forehead, understood what she meant, he looked at the night sky outside the window, and muttered: "I won't let you blow up the tank, we will definitely live until peace comes"

Tonight, the Chinese Air Force did not come to bomb, the night protected the city of Tokyo, and also covered the broken tiles and remnants, at this time there were no red lights in Tokyo, no singing of art **, and there were no drunken pedestrians on the streets

To the surprise of many Tokyo citizens, the Imperial Palace was almost unscathed in several sneak attacks, and even the buildings near the Imperial Palace were mostly well preserved, so Tokyo citizens had to go to the palace gates every few days to pay their respects to safety

The frenzied bombing continued, and the Chinese Air Force visited every Japanese city, and the military department judged that in a few months, when the US airfield on Saipan was completed, the frequency of bombing would be high, but the Chinese Air Force had already wiped out most of Japan's industrial capacity, and the US Air Force would not have much to do

What made the Japanese leaders even more worried was that the fall of Manchuria was imminent, and although from a strategic and tactical point of view, the Manchurian operation commanded by Naosaburo Okabe was quite successful, but the severity of the loss of Manchuria was still unimaginable

After the US military occupied Saipan and then captured Guam, the US submarine's sortie path was shortened by thousands of nautical miles, which meant that the US submarine could lurk for a long time on the long transportation line from the South China Sea to the Japanese mainland, and the cruising range was large

After the defeat in the Battle of the Marianas, the Combined Fleet lost almost all of its combat aircraft, and the entire fleet was almost incapacitated, and even though it now had the most powerful battleships in the world: the battleships Yamato and Musashi, the Combined Fleet still could not go too far from the coast of Japan and get out of the scope of land-based air cover

The consequence of this is that the long transport lines are like naked women walking down the streets and letting the Americans wreak havoc, of course, the Japanese also sail along the Chinese coastline through the Taiwan Strait, but this is to be hoped that the Chinese Air Force will not detect it

The factory was burned down, the raw materials were almost cut off, the army lacked machine guns and tanks, and the troops were not even fully equipped with 38 rifles; The Navy lacks aircraft, warships, gasoline; There was a shortage of food in the country, and the only thing that did not lack cloth was the widows and the hungry

The entire army was divided into three parts, the Kwantung Army was trapped in Korea, the Chinese Dispatch Army was trapped in Jiangnan, and the Southern Army was trapped in the Indochinese Peninsula; They can't cooperate with each other, they can't work together

The team is chasing Naosaburo Okabe and recovering the northeastern territory that has been obtained for more than ten years; The U.S. fleet is stepping up its recuperation, and the next step of the blade is to point to the Philippines, Taiwan or Iwo Jima; The Russians are galloping to Vladivostok, preparing to retake this natural harbor in the Far East

Nakajima's "victory" could boost the confidence of ordinary citizens, but it could not boost the confidence of Japanese leaders

Hidden in the mountains of the Prime Minister's Courtyard, the lights were faint and flickering, and the guards patrolling the courtyard kept yawning, indicating that the meeting had been going on for a long time, and the guards looked in from the windows, and the smoke was so enveloped that they had to pull the curtains open to let fresh air in and let the lights shine into the courtyard

Fortunately, the Chinese Air Force did not come tonight, the guards glanced at the sky, the night sky was cloudless, the stars were shining and maybe they were also tired, the guards muttered quietly, and prepared to leave the conference room window, when someone in the room began to talk again

"Toyoda-kun, according to your estimates, production will drop to that extent?" Kantaro Suzuki rubbed the sun, this meeting was actually held at the request of the emperor Hirohito is now interfering more and more in the war, although there is no specific command, but his concern makes the entire cabinet and the military department nervous

Manchuria had actually been lost, and Umezu Yoshijiro believed that in the next two days, the Kwantung Army would be completely withdrawn to Korea, otherwise it would be annihilated, and it would not be enough to withdraw to Korea, but it would also have to retreat further to the mountains and block the Shina Army in the preset positions

During the meeting, the most serious controversy was whether to evacuate the Chinese troops in Jiangnan, and the main cabinet officials were in favor of evacuation, but Togo and Umezu Yoshijiro firmly opposed it, and Togo believed that Nanjing and Shanghai were the weight in his hands and could use this area to bargain with Chiang Kai-shek; Umezu Yoshijiro believes that China's dispatch of troops can contain a large number of Chinese troops, and if the area is abandoned, not only will a large number of Chinese troops be liberated, but this area will play the role of the British island landing in Normandy

To Suzuki's disappointment, Nishio supported Umezu Mijiro's opinion, and the majority of the cabinet was rejected by these three people

"The situation is very lame," Sadajiro Toyoda's expression was extremely serious: "According to our investigation, due to the bombing of the China Air Force, steel production has dropped to a record low, only forty percent of last year; After the fall of Manchuria, the raw materials stored in the country are only enough for three months, and the most tense is the oil, in the last month, the Ministry of Transport has lost seven oil tankers, and the oil transported back to China last month is only enough for half of the combined fleet, we estimate that after two months, the oil will be completely interrupted, and not a drop will be transported in addition, or Ishiguro-kun will give a speech, and the investigation is mainly based on them"

All eyes turned to the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Tadashi Ishiguro, who was instructed to organize a team of investigators to investigate the country's industrial and agricultural production capacity; Ishiguro dispatched a large number of people to conduct a survey of factories and villages throughout the country, obtained the most detailed information, and wrote a speech of nearly 100 pages

Ishiguro was constantly silent at tonight's meeting, barely expressing any opinion, and his attitude made the cabinet members present at the meeting a little strange, and only Toyota knew why

Ishiguro took his eyes off and wiped them, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, and his opening surprised everyone (to be continued)
