How to face 406
Mitsui Takanomiya sat in his headquarters, feeling that his body had been hollowed out by the current battle situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the highest military commander in Japan's Korean Peninsula, he is now on the verge of being completely driven crazy by the current war situation.
The sparse number of Japanese submarines simply could not prevent the Ming Empire from using sea transport to transport supplies for the troops at the front.
The troops of the Ming Empire, who had obtained supplies, were well prepared and attacking, so that his defensive deployment was stretched, and the entire Japanese defense line was like a sieve, breathing wind on all sides.
Now, Japanese defenders are dying every minute, and many Japanese soldiers are dying in a second...... And these Japanese defenders were buying their lives for that pitiful time for their homeland.
Japan hoped to hold out until the strategic intentions of the Ming Empire were seen through by other countries, and at that time, the anti-Ming countries in the world would put pressure on the Ming Dynasty and force the Ming Empire to stop the war.
This is the only spiritual sustenance on the Japanese side -- as for relying on oneself to win this war, no one in Japan has thought about it at all.
The top Japanese leaders, including Emperor Tamtake, already knew very well that preventing the Ming Empire from occupying the Korean Peninsula under such conditions was tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Your Excellency, General! The enemy who attacked Wonsan has been repulsed by the defenders......" Jiro Yamaguchi said as he walked into the headquarters of Mitsui Takanomiya with a tired face, sat down in a chair.
Mitsui Takanomiya raised his head, looked at the war zone map hanging on the wall, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "How long can Yuanshan be defended?" Yamaguchi-kun, you know what? ”
The defense system of Yuanshan is quite complete, but now these defense systems have been ceded to the Ming Empire, and the fortifications built a few years ago are now completely outdated.
The defensive line of reinforced concrete and barbed wire in the trenches has now become vulnerable, so Wonsan is actually no different from Anju.
Under the careful deployment of Mitsui Takanomiya, Anzhou was able to hold on for 10 days, and the best expectation on the Yuanshan side was only about 15 to 20 days.
Jiro Yamaguchi also knew that after Yuanshan was surrounded by the Ming Empire, he could only be regarded as an outcast, and he could drag it out for as long as he could put it there.
The Japanese army simply did not have the strength to fight back, nor did they have the strength to relieve the siege of Wonsan. Therefore, the Japanese defenders in the encirclement can only ask for more blessings at this moment.
However, looking at the fate of Anju, even if the defenders of Wonsan ask for it, how much blessing can they have? It is estimated that in 20 days, Yuanshan will become the land of the Ming Empire forever.
"Your Excellency General Mitsui, I think...... Wonsan is much bigger than Anju...... Keeping it for 20 days shouldn't be a problem, right? Cautiously, Jiro Yamaguchi opened his mouth and gave his estimate.
Hearing Jiro Yamaguchi say this, Takanomiya Mitsui nodded slightly, and he himself estimated how long the defenders of Motoyama would be able to hold out, which was about the same as Jiro Yamaguchi's estimate.
"20 days...... That's the time for our defense. Once Wonsan is breached, how long can Shunchuan hold on? Mitsui Takanomiya seemed to be talking to himself.
Japan's elite soldiers are not afraid of death, which is one of the characteristics of this small nation in Japan. But it is never everyone who is not afraid of death, and those elites who are really brainwashed and cultivated will be consumed.
Can Anju defend to the last man, and Wonsan can defend to the last man? Even if Wonsan can defend to the last person, can Shunchuan defend to the last person?
Further on, even if these places hold out to the end, what about the rest? Can Pyongyang? Can Seoul?
If all Japanese people can not be afraid of death, then this nation is too terrible. In fact, no nation can be unanimous among the people, and this is true of all peoples, without exception.
Mitsui Takanomiya himself also knows that his own style of fighting for every inch of land can only hold on to Pyongyang at most, and once the Ming Empire breaks through the Wonsan and Suncheon lines, the remaining Japanese troops will not be able to reach the previous tenacity.
The strength of the entire defense system will drop instantly, not a slow downward trend, but a straight decline like a dive.
At that time, the defending Japanese soldiers will collapse, the entire defense line will collapse in an instant, and the troops of the Ming Empire will drive straight in.
This is the most familiar rhythm of the Ming Empire, and it is also their favorite style of play. At that time, the 100,000,200,000 Japanese troops will be surrounded and annihilated by the formation, and not a single one of them will be able to escape.
When that time comes, the Japanese soldiers who have been beaten to the ground will surrender in hundreds, like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
It would be a catastrophe, a catastrophe that Japan did not want to see, when the entire Korean Peninsula would fall into the hands of the Ming Empire within a month, and Japan would shed its last drop of blood here.
Japan, lacking population, will lose one-fifth of its population, and the elite soldiers infected by the bushido spirit that have accumulated over a long period of time will be lost.
Japan will be in a slump, crushed by the behemoth of the Ming Empire around it, and there will be no room to turn over at all.
"General, we will defend Wonsan for 20 days, and we will be able to defend Shunchuan for another 20 days! Pyongyang, we will hold on for 20 days, and it will be March next year......" Jiro Yamaguchi saw that Mitsui Takanomiya was a little depressed, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.
In two months' time, the anti-Ming intervention of Britain, France, and even the whole world that Japan was looking forward to must have begun, and when the Ming Empire was surrounded by enemies, Japan would naturally be freed.
"I hope so." Mitsui Takanomiya heard Jiro Yamaguchi's consolation to him, and he could only nod helplessly and said.
As the weather cleared, the planes of the Ming Empire were dispatched again, and thousands of tons of bombs were dropped on Japanese-controlled cities, destroying countless buildings and killing countless people.
Losses have remained high as the losses have remained high due to the lack of awareness and preparedness of the army, as well as civilians, who are somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden explosion of the enemy's air force.
Even Mitsui Takanomiya had to move his headquarters to a dark basement. This made him feel very bad, and even his physical condition deteriorated.
The front-line commander of the Japanese defenders nodded helplessly as he set his eyes on the map hanging on the wall.
He was still full of worries, and there was one sentence that he did not ask, because he knew that Jiro Yamaguchi did not know how to answer: if international intervention did not work, how would Japan face such a situation?
