Zhang Xinghan's order was quickly conveyed and implemented, and the four major front armies began an unprecedented large-scale deployment of troops to raise strategic materials. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Navy's Third Fleet and the First and Second Fleets cruising in the waters around the Japanese archipelago have gone all out to send ships back to China to secretly transport troops and various war materials to Kyushu Island.

The Air Force Command also began to dispatch as many capable fighters as possible from various localities to form combat flight groups against Japan, which were secretly stationed at various airfields on the Korean Peninsula, Kyushu Island, and the Ryukyu Islands.

The scale of preparations for this war is huge, so the time is also long.

It took seven months to raise and transport 1 million army and 1.5 million troops for two years of food, a large amount of oil, and ammunition from April 25 of the Republic of China.

So far, more than 1.5 million Chinese army and hundreds of thousands of navy and air force have gathered on Kyushu Island and the nearby sea islands.

At the end of November of the 25th year of the Republic of China, Nanjing ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter.

On the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Zhang Xinghan, together with the Military Commission, the Executive Yuan and other military and political dignitaries at all levels, is paying respects to the mausoleum of the father of the nation.

Outside Guanghua Gate and Zhonghua Gate, tens of thousands of soldiers of the national army are on standby, and flakes of snowflakes are still floating in the sky.

The helmets and shoulders of the soldiers on standby outside the city were covered with white snowflakes, and the faces of the soldiers were red from the cold.

But they seemed to turn a blind eye to the bone-chilling cold, and everyone's hearts were boiling, and their eyes were full of scorching light.

Because they were the last troops who were about to go to Kyushu Island to participate in the attack on Japan.

They will swear to go on the expedition with their great leader Zhang Xinghan, whom they admire incomparably, which is a great honor for them, even if the blood is hot in battle, the heart is also hot, and the soul is also unrepentant.

Together with these tens of thousands of soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing, the national capital, who silently endured the bone-chilling wind and snow.

They gathered silently in the open space outside the city, on the city walls. His eyes eagerly looked at the soldiers who were about to take the oath to go to battle.

In the midst of the long-awaited waiting, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Zhongzheng, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, Zhu Gong, Liu Xiang, Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu, Zhang Jingjiang and other military and political dignitaries of the Nationalist Government finally returned from the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

Arrive outside the Guanghua Gate.

"Brethren, we are about to fight a great war, two years ago at the Battle of Kyushu, in which we defeated the arrogant Japanese and brought shame to the snow for nearly a hundred years.

But now they are still surviving, and their hatred of our Chinese nation and their desire to covet our territory are still immortal.

It's time for them to die completely. Completely succumbed to the blade of our Chinese war sword.

The war against Japan was only a starting point and a beginning for the rise of the Chinese nation, and there are still many roads waiting for us to walk.

We will use the steel guns in our hands and the enthusiasm to achieve the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Win dignity for our nation and our descendants and get more living space!

Young people of China, the future of the Chinese nation depends on you! ”

Zhang Xinghan's simple words were immediately like a match thrown into a pile of dry firewood, which instantly caused a madman response from the soldiers present.

Countless people began to raise their arms and raise their guns to shout long live the Chinese nation. Long live the fanatical slogan of Commander-in-Chief Zhang.

Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan.

"Ishihara-kun, I heard that the people of China have increased their garrison on Kyushu Island, what do they want to do?" A restless Emperor Hirohito asked Ishihara.

Ishihara bowed his head with a heavy face. Said: "Your Majesty, if the intelligence of the special high class is not wrong, the people of China should want to continue to attack our homeland." ”

Emperor Hirohito's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Ishihara Aiqing." Is the Empire now capable of withstanding the attacks of the Shinas? ”

Ishihara shook his head bitterly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, at present, our country has not fully recovered its previous strength, if the military strength of pure one is calculated." It is likely that it will not be able to resist the landing of the Shina on the islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Hokkaido.

However, if the resistance of our regular army fails, His Majesty the Emperor is requested to order the entire Yamato nation to rise up and resist and not to give in to the Shina people.

Of course, this is only a last resort, and for the time being, we must organize all forces as much as possible to strengthen the national defense line, and at the same time enlist the help of the Americans in the defense. ”

"Yes, the Americans, didn't we sign an agreement with the Americans? Contact them now and ask for military assistance! "Emperor Hirohito felt like he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Ishihara bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Wechen will go and inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the United States." ”

………………

United States, Office of the President of the White House in Washington.

Luo Cripple was in the office, and a secretary assistant walked in with a document in his hand.

He reported: "Mr. President, I just received an update from the Japanese Embassy in Washington.

Chinese troops are massively converging on the island of Kyushu and are likely to attack the Japanese mainland again. ”

Roosevelt, who was in the office, paused when he heard this, put down his glasses, muttered for a while, and said to the secretary's assistant: "Go and notify the General Staff of the meeting immediately." ”

"Yes." The assistant secretary bowed his head in answer and quickly turned to leave.

More than half an hour later, the staff of Roosevelt's cabinet was basically in order, and the high efficiency of work was vividly displayed.

"The Chinese seem to want to do something to the Japanese, this is the document we just got from the Japanese to ask for help, you can take a look." Roosevelt greeted the officials attending the meeting.

As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant secretary distributed the documents that had been printed several times to the officials.

Except for the occasional rustling sound of turning the pages of documents, the meeting fell into a brief silence.

Soon, however, the officials at the pinnacle of the American power apparatus began to talk to each other in astonishment.

Ten minutes later, Roosevelt coughed lightly twice, stopped the heated discussion, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, please tell me what you think."

Should we send troops to Japan to support them?

I must make it clear that once we entered the Sino-Japanese War, it would mean declaring war on China, and China today is no longer the sick man of East Asia that it used to be.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan, China is returning to its peak form, and today they are an invincible force in Asia.

The just-concluded Battle of Outer Mongolia proved that the Soviets were no match for the Chinese army. ”

Of course, Roosevelt's high-level US leaders who attended the meeting knew all this.

However, before the interests of the United States were violated, neither the Navy, nor the Army, nor the General Staff Headquarters were willing to declare war on China at this time.

In particular, the Chinese army has risen rapidly in recent years, defeating the Soviet Union and the Japanese in succession, showing strong combat effectiveness.

As a result, the meeting descended into a heated argument that eventually turned into a heated quarrel.

Roosevelt wanted to get the United States into the war in order to contain China's rise in Asia.

But neither the Navy nor the Army supported it, and the people at the General Staff Headquarters were also wavering.

So, in the end, Roosevelt's proposal to enter the war was rejected by Congress, but in order to fulfill the previous agreement with Japan, Roosevelt still decided to send the U.S. Pacific Fleet to protect the trade between the United States and Japan, and to advance into Japanese waters.

Although Roosevelt was president, he could not insist on starting a war, which was related to the laws and national conditions of the Americans.

In order not to bear the burden of war maniacs and executioners and cause the people to lose support for him, Roosevelt could only sit back and watch the Chinese expeditionary force attack Japan without a good excuse.

………………

On the northern shore of the Guanmen Strait, the piercing sound of air defense sirens resounded in the sky.

Countless Japanese soldiers began to panic into the various anti-aircraft bunkers that had been built long ago.

In a short time, a large number of Chinese fighters appeared in the sky.

Fierce and dense bombing began.

The Japanese positions along the northern shore of the Guanmen Strait soon turned into a sea of fire.

In the middle of the strait, dozens of Chinese warships also opened fire, pouring thousands of tons of steel naval artillery shells onto the Japanese positions.

On the south bank, tens of thousands of officers and men of the national army regarded death as their home, and began a large-scale crossing in various rubber boats, assault boats, and landing craft.

Countless guns rang out in unison, and the scorching and dazzling firelight drew an arc-shaped trajectory in the air like meteors, and smashed down on the Japanese positions on the north bank.

Flames and smoke rose from the ground after the violent explosion.

Some unfortunate Japanese anti-aircraft bunkers were hit one after another by heavy aerial bombs and large-caliber naval artillery shells, and were directly blown up, and all the devil soldiers hiding inside were buried alive.

There were also some devils who didn't have time to enter the air raid bunker, and were directly torn into countless pieces by the raging blast wave of the explosion, and they were wiped out in ashes.

Under the cover of the super three-dimensional firepower of naval guns, air force fighters, and army heavy artillery groups.

Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers quickly approached the north shore.

Seeing that they were about to successfully land on the shore, countless devil soldiers suddenly braved a violent explosion and got out of the bunkers one after another.

Fearless to death, he began to fire fiercely to block the attack.

The water surface was full of waves rushed by explosions, and many officers and men of the national army were unfortunately hit by the dense rain of bullets, and they turned over and fell into the sea and died heroically.

Blood soon stained the sea red, but the attacking Chinese soldiers had no fear, and they all braved the dense rain of bullets and bullets to attack stubbornly.

The bloodthirsty confrontation between the two ethnic groups was fiercely fought on the northern shore of the Guanmen Strait.

The Japanese braved the risk of breaking out of the bunker and entering the position to open fire and block the attack, although to a certain extent delayed the offensive edge of the Chinese army, but the casualties paid by their own side were also very great.

Hundreds of Chinese warplanes were constantly diving and strafing, bombing, and naval guns were also accurately pouring shells in the timely calls of the attacking forces. (To be continued......)
