Chapter 426: Protracted War of Resistance

readx;?“ This is Kurume, this is Kitakyushu Island, with the retreat speed of the Japanese 18th Division and the 6th Division, if at this time immediately order Xing Zhanqing's tank troops to go north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then it is very likely that the two sides will eventually encounter in the area of Tagawa. After Guo Zhong opened the map, Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan pointed to the map and took turns.

Zhang Xinghan frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "Immediately send a telegram to Xing Zhanqing, order him to immediately turn around and advance at full speed to the north, no matter what, he must rush to Tianchuan before the Japanese army, and capture it, completely blocking the enemy's 6th and 18th divisions to escape south." ”

"Commander, Tagawa is the only way for the two master regiments of the Japanese army to retreat, and it is impossible to have no heavy defense. And Xing Zhanqing's department is mostly tank armored troops, and in the absence of infantry assistance, [pig ^ pig ^ island ^ novel] []. [zhu] [zhudao]. It's okay to attack a small town with weak defenses, but if it is used to attack Tagawa, which is heavily defended by devils, is it a bit too wasteful? "Zhao Zhenfan said.

It is undeniable that what Zhao Zhenfan said is not unreasonable, the armored unit is currently as "expensive" as the air force than the ordinary infantry unit, after all, the time, money and other costs of training an ordinary infantry and training a tank armored soldier are not the same.

"In this way, immediately send a telegram to Wang Longxiang, ordering him to lead the airborne troops to immediately carry out the airborne landing in the area around Tianchuan, and prepare to cooperate with Xing Zhanqing's troops to seize Tianchuan, so as to cut off the southward escape route of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island.

At the same time, Wang Tiehan was sent a telegram, and the 6th and 17th integrated divisions immediately attacked, launched a pursuit along the retreat route of the Japanese army, and tried to encircle the enemy's 6th and 18th divisions in the area of Tianchuan, and then wait for our second echelon landing force to arrive, and then encircle and annihilate them! Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and commanded.

"Well, that's a good arrangement." Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe nodded in agreement.

Guo Zhong got up and was ordered to convey the order.

…………………………

Zhang Xinghan was still planning to eliminate the Japanese army's living forces on Kyushu Island as much as possible.

On the island of Honshu, the city of Tokyo, the capital of Japan, has already been blown upside down.

The navy and air force sinked their swords in the Tsushima Strait, and tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers died on the battlefield.

Today, the city of Tokyo is empty, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians are crying in grief. Mourning is everywhere.

Some fanatical militarists do not even want to believe that all this is true, they cannot believe that the invincible navy and air force they have always been proud of were destroyed in a battle, and that they were defeated by the Chinese, whom they despised the most and who had always regarded as the object of conquest.

Some sober-minded Japanese are well aware of what the defeat of the combined naval fleet means for the Japanese state.

Far from it, Kyushu Island alone is afraid that it will fall into the hands of the Chinese army.

The worries and shocks of people from all walks of life in Japan are also happening to Emperor Hirohito and the top management of the base camp.

In the palace, Emperor Hirohito listened to the reports of Minoru Saito and other cabinet ministers, and stood up from his imperial chair, looking at Minoru Saito and the others with a blue face: "What are you talking about?" My combined fleet has been wiped out?! ”

The cabinet ministers, led by Minoru Saito, did not dare to look directly at Emperor Hirohito's increasingly cold gaze, and replied with their heads bowed, "Your Majesty." In the Battle of the Tsushima Strait, the Imperial Combined Fleet was attacked from both sides by the submarine forces of the Shina Army and the surface fleet, and tens of thousands of naval officers fought bloodily, but in the end they were defeated, and the naval warriors fought to the death for His Majesty the Emperor, and finally the whole army was annihilated! ”

As soon as Minoru Saito said this, the entire imperial court suddenly fell silent, and the silent Japanese cabinet ministers could almost hear their heartbeats.

Minoru Saito raised his head slightly in fear, looked towards the imperial chair out of the corner of his eye, and caught a glimpse of Emperor Hirohito's face like frost. His eyes showed a terrifying chill, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, which was very scary.

Quickly lowered his head again.

After a long time, I didn't see Emperor Hirohito's anger erupt. I only heard Emperor Hirohito's tone a little desolate and old: "Everyone, Aiqing, you tell me, is Kyushu Island about to be lost?" ”

Seeing that Emperor Hirohito's tone was desolate, he did not get angry. Minoru Saito, who was a courtier, was ashamed, and they fell to their knees one after another, touching their heads to the ground and saying, "The ministers are ashamed of their expectations of His Majesty the Emperor. The crime deserves death, please punish His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Emperor Hirohito sat down on his dragon chair with a bald face as if he had been drained of his strength.

Minoru Saito and the others were taken aback when they saw this, and they all exclaimed: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? ”

Emperor Hirohito couldn't stop being depressed and said, "I'm ashamed of the emperor and the people of Yamato!" Since the unification of the Yamato nation, there has never been a precedent for foreign invasion of the country, if Kyushu Island is lost in my hands, then I am the sinner of the Yamato nation through the ages, how can I see the emperor and the ancestors? ”

"Your Majesty, it's all your fault for the incompetence of the ministers, please punish Your Majesty!" Minoru Saito and the others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and bled repeatedly, feeling ashamed.

"That's it, this is the will of heaven, not a crime of war, you don't have to blame yourself too much!" Emperor Hirohito waved his hand in despair.

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly walked in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Okamura Ninji and Ishihara Wanji, the deputy head of the General Staff Headquarters who has just returned from the front line, are asking to see you outside the hall. ”

"Huh? Ninji Okamura, Ishihara Wanji? Emperor Hirohito was a little surprised when he heard this, looked at Minoru Saito and the others, who were also confused, and waved his hand to the chamberlain: "Announce them in." ”

The chamberlain saluted respectfully, turned around and retreated, and after a short time, he led Ishihara Waner and Okamura Ninji, who looked anxious, to walk in quickly.

"Chancellor Ishihara Wanji (Okamura Ninji) has seen His Majesty the Emperor!" The two of them fell to their knees and shouted long live, the Japanese have largely copied my China regardless of culture or writing, since the Song Dynasty died in Yashan, it is even more to the Chinese orthodoxy does not exist in the Central Plains, but to the Chinese orthodoxy self-style, so the palace etiquette is basically the same as that of China.

"The two Aiqing came in a hurry, what happened?" After Emperor Hirohito finished speaking, he asked Ishihara, "Ishihara-kun, aren't you on the front line of the closure?" Why the sudden return? ”

Ishihara Wan'er didn't dare to slack off, knelt on the ground and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the defeat in the Battle of the Guanmen Strait has caused Kyushu Island to fall into an unprecedented crisis. ”

When Okamura Ninji heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Battle of the Guanmen Strait failed was really because of the defeat of the Navy Combined Fleet in the first place, which led to the main force of the China Air Force being able to rush to the Guanmen Strait battlefield at a critical moment to participate in the battle, resulting in the failure of our reinforcements' attack.

During the battle, Ishihara-kun and Itagaki-kun disregarded the danger and rushed to the line of fire to supervise the battle, Ishihara-kun was injured by the plane of the Shina people, and his buttocks have not healed so far, so it can be seen that this battle is by no means an unfavorable fault of Ishihara-kun's war, and please check it out to His Majesty! ”

Emperor Hirohito looked at Ishihara and asked, "Aiqing Ishihara, what Okamura Ninji said is the truth?" ”

Ishihara nodded a little embarrassedly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, Weichen's injury is not serious, compared with the honor and disgrace of the Great Japanese Empire, this is not worth mentioning at all." ”

Emperor Hirohito's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, nodded and said, "All Aiqing, get up, the matter has come to this, and you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”

Everyone got up one after another, and Minoru Saito looked at Ishihara Waner and Okamura Ninji, and asked, "Ishihara-kun, Okamura-kun, is there something wrong with you coming to meet Your Majesty in such a hurry?" ”

Okamura Ninji hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, I heard that the United Fleet was defeated, the Guanmen Strait had been completely blocked by the Chinese people, and Kyushu Island was in an unprecedented crisis, so I specially rushed to ask His Majesty the Emperor for battle, and I was willing to go to Kyushu Island in person and command the soldiers of the imperial army on the island to fight to the death with the Chinese people!" To comfort the souls of hundreds of thousands of jade shattered imperial soldiers! ”

"Now that the navy has suffered serious losses, the naval and air forces of the Chinese people have completely blocked the strait, and there is no way for reinforcements to land on Kyushu Island, what use can you use if you go?" War Minister Hirano Shaoqi said angrily.

"Hirano-kun is right, Kyushu Island is already a strategic dead land, so Okamura-kun doesn't have to do this futile move." Minoru Saito nodded in agreement.

Ishihara said: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty, please listen to the words of humble duty, from a strategic point of view, Kyushu Island has indeed become a strategic dead land at present, and the loss is inevitable at present.

First of all, we must remove all the light and heavy industrial bases on the island, and transfer those that can be taken away and those that cannot be taken away will be destroyed on the spot.

Then organize the troops and carry out a long-term war of resistance against the fortified walls and clear the wilderness, in short, never give the people of China a chance to manage Kyushu Island with peace of mind, and let them fall into a never-ending attack.

Now there are two major armies on the island, plus the reserve forces, with more than 100,000 troops, and nearly a million young men, and we should arm them as much as possible to fight against the people of China for a long time. ”

"Solid walls and clear wilderness, long-term war of resistance?" Minoru Saito and the others were a little surprised, looked at each other, and said, "Ishihara-kun, tell me the reason for this." ”

"The reason is simple, that is, to prevent the Shina from building their forward base on the island of Kyushu, otherwise, the island of Honshu, Shikoku and Hokkaido will fall under the attack of the Shina at any time!

All in all, that is, Kyushu Island cannot be easily left in the hands of the Shina people and used by them, otherwise our Yamato nation will really fall into a state of no return. "Ishihara Wanerdao.

"Ishihara-kun, what you said makes a lot of sense, then let me ask you, do you have any thoughts on the way out for the emperor in the future? What should we do in the future? Emperor Hirohito, who had not spoken, couldn't help but ask.
