However, when the Japanese side had just learned that China had landed in Hokkaido, the second group of troops of a brigade had already arrived at the Ezara Town Wharf in Hokkaido, which was only a small wharf, and at most a few coal ships could run on weekdays, and the capacity of the port was so small that even more than a dozen troop carriers could not enter at the same time.

Hokkaido, which is the center of Japan's coal production, and the coal warehouse at the Esashi Town wharf is also based on the idea of supplying coal on the spot.

Anyway, they don't have to pay for their own coal to find coal, and after supplying it here, they can save some money for the war, so why not?

But the amount of supplies can't be too much, and each ship entering the port only has an hour and a half of supply time, but fortunately, these coal-burning or other things were transported to the vicinity of the pier by the Japanese strong men captured by the marines, and an hour and a half of supplies can make a ship run a distance of two or three hundred nautical miles.

And when they get back from here, they'll have a night's rest and refueling. Basically, the two-day voyage rests overnight and then the cycle continues.

Shanghai, the garrison of the Chinese Empire in the Shanghai military barracks.

In this barracks, there is a hidden organ unit that does not belong to the Shanghai garrison, but the crowd of this organ unit is extremely large, and all the staff are down, except for the escort troops, there are more than 2,000 office personnel alone.

The scale is rare, and even exceeds the scale of the Sino-Russian War Command two years ago. And this organ unit is the location of the headquarters of the Chinese Imperial Army in Japan. Because the troops had not yet carved out a relatively complete area in Japan in the early stage, the headquarters was temporarily located in Shanghai.

However, what makes people puzzled is that the headquarters is in Shanghai, but none of the troops in Shanghai are in the battle sequence of the troops stationed in Japan, and there are even no other mobile forces except for the Shanghai garrison.

Hidden in the city, the headquarters of the army stationed in Japan was arranged in Shanghai, which really confused the sight of many people.

First of all, there are more high-level commanding generals than during the Sino-Russian War, and this time it was not divided into a certain group army, nor was it gathered into a group army.

However, within it, basically two or three armies will be reorganized into a team, similar to the establishment of a group army, but this establishment is not fixed, the headquarters will adjust the team establishment at any time according to the position of the troops, tasks and other factors, and the commander of the team is one of the three corps.

In the sequence of the current operation against Japan, there are a total of seven combat units and 21 armies, with a total strength of more than 1.1 million troops, but this is not the final establishment, and there will be units that will be continuously reorganized in the future; according to Zhongjing's operational policy, the number of troops stationed in Japan will always be increased to at least 60 armies, and it will be possible for 3 million people to stop continuing to expand, and the specific situation will depend on the situation on the battlefield.

From this aspect alone, it can be seen that the importance that Zhongjing attaches to Japan has far exceeded the importance attached to Russia.

You must know that in the Sino-Russian War, the Chinese Empire only sent more than 1.4 million troops at its peak, and a small Japan prepared 3 million troops in the plan alone, and it still had to put all these 3 million troops into the Japanese battlefield within a year and a half.

In addition, the 101st and 102nd Armored Divisions, which have been promoted to veteran units, and the newly formed 109th, 110th, 111th, and 112th Armored Divisions will also land in Japan to fight, and the two vanguard companies of the 101st Division have landed in the Ryukyus because of the change in tactics.

In addition to the six armored divisions with a total of 2,160 tanks (360 units per division), another new type of arms of the empire was also divided into the battle sequence of the army stationed in Japan, that is, it never appeared on the battlefield and never officially showed its air force in the world.

At this time, most of the planes in the European theater were only used for reconnaissance, and the act of carrying bombs to bomb local targets had just begun, and there was still a long way to go before the formation of the air force, and there were even fewer planes specialized in various air battles.

After more than three years of development, the Air Force of the Chinese Empire has a total of more than 500 aircraft of various types, including 50 trainer planes and 90 patrol planes equipped with a 12.7 mm general-purpose machine gun.

Considering the factors of reality, the Air Force has no opponents in the short term, so there is no need to spend a lot of energy on the study of fighters, but it is also necessary to take precautions, after all, anything can happen on the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, it is to hang a 50-kilogram bomb under the fighter, and if you hang a bomb on it, you will be a bomber, and if you throw away the bomb, it will be a fighter, and the performance may have a certain impact, but in the current environment, the impact is not great.

There are 215 fighter-bombers, which are currently the main model of the Imperial Chinese Air Force. The remaining 110 planes were pure bombers, capable of carrying one 200-kilogram bomb, or one 100-kilogram bomb and two 50-kilogram bombs, or two 100-kilogram bombs or four 50-kilogram bombs.

The crew was designed to be composed of two people, with the main pilot responsible for the battle and bomb dropping in front, and the man in the rear responsible for observation and control of the rear-facing machine guns.

In addition to the 50 trainer planes, 120 of the 215 fighter-bombers were assigned to the Japanese army, all the bombers were assigned to the Japanese army, and 40 were assigned to the reconnaissance planes. Therefore, in addition to the more than 1.1 million army forces (including three artillery corps) and marines that have already been in hand, the current army stationed in Japan also has 2,160 tanks, hundreds of armored reconnaissance vehicles, and 270 planes of various types.

In addition to the great innovation in equipment, the intensity of innovation in personnel is also relatively rapid; through the accumulation of several years, some staff officers who have graduated from the staff academy have gradually accumulated some combat experience, so among the more than 2,000 office personnel, not only the coordination personnel of the army, navy, and air force, but also about 800 staff officers.

They were divided into various posts for different division of labor, and a large number of staff officers joined the headquarters, which means that no matter which unit on the front line, no matter when the command is contacted, the command can give relatively correct instructions in the first time.

As Cao Kun's royal staff officer, Cai Ye is now also a prosperous official, and after the establishment of the Army Headquarters in Japan, Cai Ye was appointed as the deputy chief of general staff of the headquarters. Don't look at him as just a deputy position, but under those previous qualifications, Cai Ye still has a very strong voice in the headquarters.

Besides, everyone knows that as a staff candidate appointed by the emperor, the position of chief of staff of the army stationed in Japan will be Cai Ye sooner or later, and the reason why a chief of staff is arranged above him now is actually because Cai Ye is not qualified enough, if everything can develop according to expectations, at most two years, Cai Ye will be able to officially take over as chief of staff, and his military rank will be at least lieutenant general at that time, and even the possibility of promotion to general is not ruled out.

Cai Ye is bold, but he is very careful, and he can always find out the key to the problem in the first time and come up with the best solution.

And on the evening of the 8th, after receiving the news that the second batch of troops of a brigade had successfully landed in Hokkaido, Cai Yi's mind also began to be active.

So, Cai Ye didn't bother to eat lunch, took out the previous battle plan, made minor modifications, and submitted it directly to the commander-in-chief Cao Kun.

And Cao Kun couldn't help but be a little shocked when he looked at Cai Yi's new plan, and he also felt a little afraid.

The plan is still the same old plan, but there have been some subtle changes in the middle, and it is precisely these changes that can put Japan to death and even give it a second life.

However, this plan is not without its loopholes.

"When you put forward this plan, did you ever think about what we would do if our army was dragged to the battlefield in Japan?" Cao Kun asked with a stern face, this is not a bluff, but a real possible situation.

In the war of annihilation, they will inevitably be resisted by the whole people of Japan, even if there is the help of the inner ghosts, the resistance they encounter will not be small, and once the empire can not withstand this kind of casualties, or do not meet the predetermined requirements within the predetermined period, then they will change from active to passive, and may even be deeply trapped in the Japanese battlefield, and it is impossible to get out.

"I thought about it, the solution is to invest three million troops in one year, at least five million troops in two years, and we will fight this war in a ratio of one to five, even if the Japanese launch a national war, as long as we ensure that there are five million troops, then we are already invincible, and as the war continues, Japan will lose all its supply industry, and then they will not even be able to make bullets, and no one will sell them." Cai Ye said seriously.

This plan may not be realized, but this is the most likely plan to end the war in the short term, it depends on whether the above approves it or not, of course, even if it is not approved, it is not incomprehensible, after all, there are two more troops out of thin air, and the logistical pressure on the empire is still relatively large, once there is a problem with logistics, then the unlucky one is the five million troops on the front line.
