While the fighting on the European continent has temporarily stopped, the Japanese archipelago in the Far East is still under fire, and the fighting here is as fierce as the European battlefield, if not more brutal. In terms of casualty figures, this is much larger than the other side of the globe. By August 1910, in the battle of the Japanese archipelago, the Japanese army had suffered more than 3.3 million casualties, including 750,000 standing soldiers, 2.15 million reserve soldiers, and about 400,000 civilian casualties.

For example, the number of civilian casualties, the casualties of armed civilians, and the deaths of civilians caused by hunger, injury and disease caused by war, these are probably greater than 3 million. For the Japanese, the war had already drained their blood, and the so-called "jade crush" could not be carried out to the last step. The rule of the Japanese military department was in jeopardy, the voices of opposition to the war were getting louder and louder, and many people were intimidated by the strength of the Chinese state, and within the government, some people even directly shouted "surrender," but no one dared to do anything to him. Everyone knew that defeat was inevitable, and that the will to resist was in fact very weak after the high echelons of the imperial family and military government represented by the emperor had suffered casualties.

More than one million Japanese troops gathered in the core area of the Kobe-Urawa line also wavered in resistance and surrender, and although the main battle faction still dominated the mainstream, the voice of the surrender faction could not be ignored. The disputes at the top made the soldiers at the lower levels helpless, and they had gone to the faith in the royal family, and the militaristic ideology was close to collapsing, and now it was found that the generals were actually thinking of surrendering, and it was difficult to expect them to resist resolutely in such a situation.

The Japanese army also had no confidence to fight to the end, and although it had more than a million troops, it was desperately short of ammunition and food. Under the blow of the strategic bombing forces of the Chinese army, factories, warehouses, roads, bridges, and so on in the core areas of Japan were greatly damaged, and the production capacity was reduced to freezing point. Without the replenishment of foreign materials, the output of a small plot of land alone could simply not meet the needs of more than a million soldiers, let alone the destruction of agricultural productivity caused by conscription and war.

On the Chinese side, 42,000 soldiers were killed or injured after the start of the war against Japan, of which 35,000 were from overseas regiments, with the Korean regiment suffering the largest losses. They undertook a large number of combat missions in the battle to attack Honshu Island, and in several large-scale battles, North Korean soldiers attacked the Japanese fortified positions with relatively weak firepower, and the casualties increased.

Before annihilating the enemy forces on Kyushu Island and launching the Battle of Kobe, the Chinese army had already sent 1.4 million soldiers to the Japanese archipelago, including four armored corps. For the Chinese army, it is necessary to ensure the speed of the assault of the tanks, the continuous firepower of the artillery, the uninterrupted bombing of the air force, and the victory at a very low cost. All this needs to be based on logistical support, not that the Chinese army will not fight without a strong firepower superiority, but that the principle of the Chinese army is to use firepower to crush it.

Fortunately, the sea transportation line is very smooth, and the Chinese army is not in danger of being sunk by transport ships in the Atlantic, and this sea area is completely in the hands of the Chinese army. Transport ships can comfortably transport goods, without worrying about underwater sea wolves and enemy warships on the surface, and travel between the eastern Pacific and the South China Sea at will. The greatest advantage of sea transportation is that it is low cost and large volume, and the materials are transported from the economically developed coastal areas, through the rough seas, to the Japanese archipelago, where there are countless ports, and then quickly distributed to the combat units.

At present, the Chinese army is massing troops in the area west of Kobe and stockpiling war materials, and more than the three group armies are clustered, and about 1.1 million hedgehogs are gathered here. More than 3,000 tanks, more than 5,000 artillery pieces, and more than 2,000 planes are the greatest reliance of the Chinese army, and the final battle of the war against Japan is about to begin.

Corporal soldier Zhang Hanchen walked to the "hair washing room" in the northeast corner of the barracks, and he looked left and right along the way, for fear that others would see his intentions. However, there are not a few soldiers who go to the shampoo room in the crowded barracks, most of them are not as restrained as Zhang Hanchen, they are used to this kind of life, and going to the shampoo room for leisure and venting has also become the norm for the Chinese soldiers stationed in Japan.

Sure enough, the shampoo room made up of dozens of tents was overcrowded, and hundreds of soldiers lined up, each in front of each tent, and before entering, they had to pay the gendarme behind the table with an accident certificate and a fee of one Chinese dollar, which was a good price for the corporal soldiers.

"Haha, Hanchen, you still squirmed and refused to come when I asked you to come, and now I am running upside down!" The last thing Zhang Hanchen wanted to see happened, Yan Baichuan, a comrade-in-arms in his squad and a veteran, walked out of the tent in front of him with his pants and looked at Zhang Hanchen with a look of surprise. Compared with those veterans, Zhang Hanchen was a supplementary soldier who arrived in Japan from China only a month ago, and he couldn't adapt to the strange barracks life for a while, which is understandable, most of the soldiers came over like this, and there were still a few who could let go of their minds at the beginning, after all, the traditional Chinese morality resisted the so-called "hair washing room".

Another comrade-in-arms in the same class, Li Delin, once described to himself the origin of the "shampoo room", he looks more literate than those veterans, probably related to the fact that he was born in a wealthy family.

After the Chinese troops landed in Japan, the fighting was very fierce, and the Japanese soldiers often fought until the last moment, and when the battlefield was cleaned up after the battle, the Chinese soldiers were often attacked by the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers - they would insist that the Chinese soldiers come over and then pull the hidden grenades. When the Chinese soldiers inspected some Japanese villages and towns, they were often attacked by Japanese civilians. Of course, the counterattack against civilians was also non-stop, one village and town after another were razed to the ground, the massacres made the Chinese soldiers red-eyed, and the rape of Japanese women even became a trend. At first, the above did not stop it, but later it was found that this indulgence would reduce the combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers, and they began to refuse to obey orders when they lost their minds.

In Li Delin's words, it is "people are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts." Later, the task of exterminating Japanese villages and towns was entrusted to the Philippine Legion, and they did quite well, because they were originally beasts, and animals killed animals, and there was no psychological burden at all. In addition, the need for the soldiers was noted, and they tried to establish a place of service to alleviate the violence in the soldiers' hearts, and the results were very good.

As for the service providers, it is the Japanese women, not all Japanese are poisoned by militaristic ideology, those women and children just want to live. So Hua Jun provided them with a choice to live, enter the shampoo service, get food as a payment every day, and the fruits of their labor in one day are enough to make a family of four barely fed, which is simply the best job for those Japanese women.

What happened next was that more than 50,000 young and beautiful Japanese women became waiters in the shampoo room, and more than half of them were young women who were already married. So a strange scene happened on the Japanese archipelago, where the men fought with the Chinese soldiers on the front line, and then died under the guns of the Chinese soldiers, throwing their bodies in the wilderness, and the women served the Chinese soldiers in the back, exchanging their bodies for life. If we add those Japanese children in the occupied areas who enter the elementary and middle schools set up by the education department of the Chinese army, the whole of Japan will be conquered by China.

Yan Baichuan's ridicule made the nearby Chinese soldiers burst into laughter, perhaps remembering how he had squirmed and wandered in front of the shampoo room, so he felt extremely funny.

After lowering his head and taking out his documents and fees, Zhang Hanchen immediately ran into the tent, this jerky soldier will need a while to get used to the shampoo room, but he is already a qualified soldier, he has experienced three battles, he killed four Japanese soldiers, and has been recognized by Yan Baichuan and other comrades-in-arms, otherwise he would not be close to joke.

Mai Hatata is really tired, today she has received more than thirty strong Chinese soldiers, those tall men are amazingly strong, so that Mai Hato can't bear it. At first she enjoyed the work, but at the end of the first day she was carried back, and now, she is still not used to the intense work.

"Your Excellency." There should be no less rules, and when she saw another Chinese soldier coming in, Mai Hatata immediately knelt on the ground and prostrated her head on the ground, looking completely deferential.

Zhang Hanchen, who was standing motionless at the door of the tent, was extremely entangled - he should not have run over from the brain in the first place, not only did he have to endure the ridicule of his comrades, but the scene in front of him also made him feel at a loss.

Half an hour later, Zhang Hanchen returned to the tent of the third class, and the comrades-in-arms who had just entered laughed again, and the veteran soldier Yan Baichuan came over and grabbed Zhang Hanchen's shoulders, clamoring to hear the details. It wasn't until the squad leader came in that he stopped frolicking, and looking at the serious appearance of the squad leader Fu Yisheng, he knew that a new combat mission was coming.

"Han Chen, Jiansheng, follow me to the company headquarters to receive war materials, and the others will check the weapons and carry equipment, and then gather in the center of the barracks in twenty minutes." Fu Yisheng said in a deep voice.

"Old man, are you finally going to fight?" Li Delin asked.

"Almost, we've been here for more than ten days, so we should be well prepared. I heard that France had surrendered, and we had to speed up our pace. As he spoke, Fu Yisheng walked out of the tent, and the military camps outside were all in a hurry, and there was a huge buzzing sound in the sky, and the air force had begun to bomb the Japanese army.
