In addition to advanced weaponry and excellent soldiers, the Chinese army also has the world's best logistics and transportation capabilities, and the military academy has even set up a logistics support discipline, which has been studied by countless people to find the most effective and economical logistics plan. In Europe, Germany is providing supplies for millions of soldiers, and in the Far East, the Chinese army is also providing supplies for more than 500,000 soldiers in the Pacific Ocean. Spanning thousands of miles of ocean, Huaguo faced greater difficulties and performed better.

In the direction of Kagoshima, the Japanese were eager to try, 50,000 Ezo people, young and old, were driven to the front line, and the sinister Japanese officers hid behind, trying to test the Chinese army's defensive arrangement, the number of troops, and the firepower through this attack.

Before they ran headlong into the impregnable walls of the Kagoshima Line, the Chinese army was also deploying an attack, and their purpose was to destroy Japan, rather than passively waiting for the Japanese to attack their own defense.

After the end of the Hawaiian Campaign, the Navy transferred two aircraft carriers, the Weiqing and Huo Quai, which had been resting for half a month, as well as two battle cruisers, a super battleship, two newly commissioned escort carriers, a light aircraft carrier, 21 cruisers, and 55 destroyers to form a new combined fleet to attack Japan. Among them, aircraft carriers and capital ships were used to cover the landing of troops, escort carriers and fifteen battleships were used to escort, and light aircraft carriers and twenty warships were used to blockade the Sea of Japan and the eastern flank.

Before the start of the war, China officially issued a proclamation to the outside world, prohibiting any country from providing any supplies to Japan in the belligerent countries, and the Japanese archipelago became a war zone, and if it was sunk after rashly breaking in, China would not bear any responsibility. The Japanese top brass was mentally prepared for this, as were the Western capitalists, who were mainly British merchant ships, who frantically transported supplies before the outbreak of the war, and simply left the sea area after earning the last money.

From this moment on, the Japanese archipelago was basically isolated from the outside world, and more than 40 million Japanese had to rely on themselves to resist the invaders, and the Americans were terrified after losing Hawaii, fearing that the Chinese army would land on the west coast, and Japan would be regarded by them as the best cover for themselves to buy time. The British were afraid that China would take advantage of the outbreak of war in Europe to attack Southeast Asia, Australia, and India, so they did not interfere with China's attack on the Japanese archipelago. It was difficult for Tsarist Russia to defend itself in the Far East, let alone support Japan.

"We are on our own! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Onboard! A Japanese commander stood at the front, shouting at the thousands of Ezo soldiers, one last agitation before launching a charge. It's a pity that these Ezo people in front of them are not soldiers at all, the old, the young, the men, the women, wearing national costumes, holding bamboo guns and machetes, the women holding the children and crying non-stop, and the children of a few years old look at the adults in confusion, tugging at their sleeves and trying to let them play with them. The bearded and gray-haired old man looked at the Japanese officer in front of him with hatred, eager to stab a bamboo gun into his chest, and was terrified of the position of the Chinese army thousands of meters away.

The Japanese machine gunners in the back pulled the trigger, and more than a dozen Ezo people fell to the ground, and the fear of death prompted the thousands of people to move forward slowly, but they knew that the end of death was also ahead.

"I doubt that these Ezo will be able to test the Chinese army, which will be wiped out before they can pass through the minefield." Hideki Tojo looked at this scene and said dissatisfiedly, not pity those Ezo, but hope that his troops will enter the battle as soon as possible and repay His Majesty the Emperor's expectations with their performance.

"So we chose a point where the Chinese army's defense was relatively weak, they took the town as the center and used the terrain to build a fortress, but the strength between the fortress and the fortress was weak, and the fortifications were poor, if the Chinese army could not respond to this thousand or so Ezo in time, it would be the time for our whole army to press!" Second Lieutenant Adjutant Yamashita Fumifumi said that his views were praised by Hideki Tojo, and although the two were one year apart, in the Japanese army, where the concept of superiority and superiority was strong, it was necessary to maintain the majesty of the superior.

The Japanese army, like the Chinese army, was filled with young, newly graduated officers from the Army's non-commissioned officer school, and Yamashita was slower to be promoted than Hideki Tojo, who came from a prominent family and distinguished himself in the military coup. The Russo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese War caused Japan to lose a large number of officers at all levels, especially in the war against China, the loss of senior generals was too much, and the subsequent expansion of the army also required a large number of officers, so young officers filled the army, and all the young people who went to Europe to study and study were also recalled. After graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, Yamashita became a military researcher in Switzerland, and when he returned, he was appointed his lieutenant because of his classmates with Hideki Tojo.

The Japanese army was backward in intelligence, and the weak point on the Kagoshima defense line had long been thickened because of the 11th Army. This defensive point was defended by the strength of a Chinese infantry regiment, and the regiment commander Zhao Xin was looking at the military map, and received the news that the Japanese army was beginning to attack, and immediately ordered the troops to enter the defensive position, but he only placed one battalion in the front line, and the rest of the troops were on standby as a reserve - the war had just begun, and there was no need to work too hard.

The attacking Japanese soldiers gradually appeared in the field of vision of the Chinese soldiers, and they were overwhelmed by what they saw - they could vaguely see through the binoculars that the opposing side was a group of disheveled civilians, armed civilians, barely seeing the presence of firearms, just holding bamboo guns and katana swords and moving slowly.

"Regiment commander, there are a large number of old people, women and children in the enemy's ranks, and they will enter the range of our army's fire in ten minutes, please ask for instructions!" The commander of the third company at the forefront called and asked if it was a Japanese soldier, he could give the order to open fire without hesitation, but the current situation made him hesitate.

Zhao Xin didn't know what to do, so the instructions on whether to open fire were conveyed upwards one by one, but fortunately, the communication efficiency was high, and ten minutes later, the order from the military headquarters was transmitted back to Zhao Xin - to open a gap in the position, let those civilians in, and prepare for the Japanese army to take the opportunity to attack.

Such an order annoyed Zhao Xin, open the gap, how can such a thing be done? What if those civilians were mixed with Japanese soldiers? What if the Japanese broke through the gap right behind? Will they be able to pass through a minefield? Can it pass through a barbed wire fence tens of meters wide?

"Second battalion, set up crossfire at the gap, and transfer two companies to the back of the gap to guard the Japanese who come in to prevent them from making trouble!"

The Chinese army was militarily prepared, but not ideologically, they knew that the Japanese had prepared tens of millions of armed civilians, but they did not know what this meant for them - they were going to carry out murder in Japan, inhumane and horrific killings! No matter what nationality it is, just the Japanese, it is within this range.

Casualties among Ezo civilians began after entering the minefield, with successive explosions appearing in the dense crowd, countless shrapnel flying, taking hundreds of lives. The Ezo people, who tried to retreat, were stopped by the machine guns of the Japanese soldiers and had to move on, leveling the minefield with their bodies.

The sound of explosions and the screams of the Ezo people resounded through the battlefield, but there was no other sound, and the Chinese soldiers quietly waited for the tragic scene to end. In the end, less than half of them passed through the minefield, but they were blocked in front of the barbed wire, and their despair made them cry desperately. For the recruits of the Chinese army, this is the first lesson after going to the battlefield, and it is also the most brutal course.

"Fire!" Zhao Xin finally gave an order, instead of letting them experience despair there, it was better to simply send them on the road to end this tragic fate, hoping that they would not be reincarnated in this terrible era in the next life.

"Sure enough, it was as sparse as we expected, Dazuo, now is the best time to attack, let the artillery destroy the barbed wire of the Chinese army, and let the infantry follow the road where the Ezo people waded out of the minefield, rush to the front of the Chinese position in one breath, and break through the Chinese position with the advantage of numbers and close assassination. As long as we open a gap in the Chinese defense line, our millions of troops can pour into Kagoshima and completely drive the Chinese army into the sea! Yamashita suggested that Hideki Tojo ordered the 95th Reserve Division to attack, and the artillery opened fire to destroy the barbed wire fence of the Chinese army.

The fighting finally became normal, and the Chinese soldiers, who had not yet come out of the massacre of civilians, found that the Japanese army had launched a large-scale attack. A large number of shells fell in front of the position, and a large number of Japanese reserves were rapidly advancing several kilometers away.

"Order the artillery to counterattack, call the division headquarters, ask for artillery support, it would be better to have air force support! The first battalion is holding the forward position, and the second battalion is optimistic about the right flank, don't let the little devils touch it from there! Finally entering the normal rhythm, Zhao Xin seemed to have found a feeling, and gave orders in an orderly manner.

At the headquarters of the rear group army, Jiang Fangzhen stood in front of the sand table of the first officer, which was covered with small blue and red flags. The Japanese used 50,000 Ezo to test the defensive line, but because the front-line troops were caught off guard, some did not fire, and some leaked a little firepower after firing, which made the Japanese mistakenly believe that the Chinese army was not well defended, and then launched a large-scale attack. The nodes between more than a dozen fortresses on the entire defense line were attacked by the Japanese army, and the information compiled by the staff officers was that more than 30 Japanese divisions and regiments, more than 400,000 people, were all reserves of Kyushu Island. At least 500 Japanese guns were involved in the attack, and fifteen artillery positions were found by artillery observers. (To be continued.) )
