May 26, the nineteenth day after landing in Japan, was another dawn morning, and last night was a rather painful night for many people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For a whole night, almost all of them did not get a good rest, and with the surprise attack of the Japanese special forces, the entire army on the Chinese side was put on high alert.

The large-scale small Japanese army's intention to break through was also discovered by the Chinese Imperial Army, which was on alert, and in one night, hundreds of battles took place between the two sides, large and small, and both sides suffered losses on both sides, but on the whole the losses on the Japanese side were greater.

On this day, the Chinese side increased the defensive forces in the important target area, which added some difficulty to the sneak attack of the Japanese special forces, and the Japanese troops who temporarily fled to the periphery once again planned to sneak in quietly at night, but they were soon discovered by the secret sentinels, although with strong firepower and their own capabilities, the special forces finally succeeded in getting out, and only lost a few people, and killed dozens of Chinese people to end the battle.

But such a record still could not raise the morale of the Japanese army, because their mission still failed. They were able to get close to the target area last night, and this evening, they were spotted a few kilometers away from the target area. The sentinels are more like they're everywhere, and they'll always be the first to spot you, no matter where you appear.

The situation on the battlefield was still the same as yesterday, it was still a one-sided situation, and the Japanese army was simply unable to resist the encirclement and attack of the 1st Division and the three divisions of the Marine Corps and the Armored Division in a frontal manner.

For a whole day, the surrounded Japanese army once again ended the day's battle with the loss of more than 5,000 men. If this rate continues, there will be five days at most, and the Japanese troops in the three divisions in the encirclement will be completely annihilated.

This total annihilation refers to not leaving one, and it is often difficult for this situation to happen on the battlefield, after all, no matter who the opponent is, someone will always choose to surrender. Therefore, the time given by the Japanese side was four days, and within four days, they had to find a way to rescue the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

On the night of May 26, Yoshimasa Oshima had to convene a military meeting again to discuss how to deal with the next battle situation.

There is still no news from the special forces, but the imaginary big bang has not happened, which means that so far, they have not succeeded.

The inability to defeat the enemy's logistics base was a great disaster for the Japanese army, and the enemy army with sufficient logistical supplies could not fight this battle at all to deal with the Japanese army, which lacked guns and ammunition.

On the other hand, Oshima Yoshimasa also ordered his two sets of plans to be sent to Tokyo as soon as possible, and if nothing else, he would be able to receive a reply from Tokyo in a while at most.

Oshima Yoshimasa is preparing two completely different plans, the first is to fight the enemy in Hokkaido, but the base camp needs to send more reinforcements over, relying only on the current existing army, they are simply unable to compete with the enemy, and they can't even hold the defensive line, how can they fight the enemy to the death?

The second option is to abandon Hokkaido and fix the battlefield in Hokkaido, although it will prevent the island of Honshu from being affected by the war, but the Combined Fleet is silently licking its wounds on the Kyushu side at the moment, and it has no energy to come here at all.

In addition, the Japanese side has limited transportation capacity, and in one day, even if the fleet does not eat or drink, it can only transport one and a half divisions to Hokkaido. However, the fleet needed to be resupplied and the crew needed to rest, so in fact, only one division could be transported to Hokkaido in a day.

Although the transportation capacity of the Chinese is not much better than that of Japan, at least the combat effectiveness of the army is strong, and the troops of one division can be transported to the top of two or three divisions of the Japanese army, and besides, people can transport the strength of two divisions at one time.

Therefore, until Japan is unable to solve the problem of transportation capacity, no matter how many troops Japan transports to Hokkaido, there is no guarantee that the Japanese army will be able to win a victory here.

Another problem is that Japan's total military strength is much smaller than China's, and Japan's total strength is now only more than 1 million, and if you include the more than 2 million recruits who have been temporarily captured into the barracks, it is barely less than 4 million troops.

What about the Chinese Empire? According to intelligence, they already had nearly three million troops two years ago, and with the development of the past two years, the Chinese now have at least five million troops, and it is estimated that there are many recruits in the new barracks. Therefore, in terms of the competition of forces, Japan also does not occupy any advantage.

The elite route can't go through, the crowd tactics can't compare to others, and the weapons and equipment are far inferior to others, and one armored division can surround the infantry of your three divisions, and you can't escape if you want to, what if they are transporting two armored divisions over? I guess the army didn't have to go out at that time, right? The armored division drove tanks to press, and it could crush thousands of Japanese troops in a day.

So, on the other hand, Yoshimasa Oshima's mind has changed from controlling the battlefield in Hokkaido at the beginning to prevent Honshu Island from being affected by the war.

By now, he was more inclined to abandon Hokkaido, or to attack the enemy army in Hokkaido with small forces, mainly harassing them, so that they could not concentrate on what they wanted to do here.

Then lead the main battlefield to the more densely populated island of Honshu, where they will launch a nationwide army, so that wherever the Chinese go, they will be attacked by the Japanese, and they will not be able to move an inch. Although the combat effectiveness of the people is negligible, the people can delay the pace of the Chinese when they launch madness.

And the Chinese absolutely did not dare to massacre on a large scale, because they wanted Japan, not an empty Japan, perhaps at the beginning their losses would be extremely heavy, but the further they went, the more relaxed the Japanese army would be.

Similarly, Oshima Yoshimasa prefers the Japanese government to woo allies internationally, or at least to put some political pressure on the Chinese empire to give Japan a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, what Japan would prefer was to gain the approval of one of the two blocs of the Entente and the Alliance, and allow Japan to join them, so that Japan would not be fighting alone.

At four o'clock in the morning on May 27, with the return of the convoy fleet, a division of Japanese troops landed at Hakodate with the latest instructions from Tokyo.

Regarding Oshima Yoshimasa's two proposals, there was also a heated discussion on the base camp's side, and the final conclusion was that no matter what, they would have to stay in Hokkaido for a month, and after a month, the base camp would consider whether to abandon Hokkaido. Until then, the base camp will give Yoshimasa as much support as possible.

The base camp finally broke out, which also made Oshima Yoshimasa feel a little relieved.

Of course, Oshima Yoshimasa also understood the difficulties of the base camp, this war came too suddenly, so that the Japanese side had no preparations, and the war had already burned to their homeland. Coupled with the deliberate actions of the Chinese, the Japanese side had to use refueling tactics to increase the army in Hokkaido little by little.

So far, more than 70,000 Japanese soldiers have been killed in Hokkaido in the 19 days since they landed, while the Chinese Empire has only killed more than 4,000 soldiers and wounded more than 10,000.Chinese

On 27 May, the battle continued as usual, with the Panzer Division still firmly in control of the previously occupied line of demarcation, isolating the enemy from both sides inside and outside.

The attack line of the First Division and the Marine Corps is also shrinking little by little, and the Japanese troops of the three divisions are also being forced to compress step by step.

On the third day of the Battle of Hakodate, the 26th, 51st, and 52nd Divisions of the Japanese Army, which were surrounded by about 45,000 people, have only about 30,000 people left.

In other respects, the four divisions that were scattered by the armored division suffered heavy losses on the first day, and the four divisions, originally numbered about 60,000 people, but after the end of the first day, there were less than 45,000 left, and most of the troops were in chaos, and it is not surprising that the officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officers.

It took a whole day for the Japanese of these four divisions to reorganize themselves, and on the third day, they had reimbursed almost 8,000 troops at the end of the day, but the defense line of the armored division remained motionless and showed no signs of being breached.

The remaining five divisions were firmly pinned down by the 36th Army and the 27th Army, and although that side was not the main battlefield for the time being, the intensity of the battle was not much worse than that here.

In three days, the Japanese troops of those five divisions could also be said to have suffered heavy losses, although they were better than the 26th division, but they were not much better.

At present, the five divisions still have more than 50,000 troops, and the average loss of one division and regiment a day is about 1,000 people.

On the night of May 28, the remnants of Sugiyama's unit, which was planning to attack the arsenal, were bumped into by the vanguard of the 273rd and 274th Divisions of the 27th Army, which had just landed and were carrying a large number of supplies to support the battlefield, and a skirmish broke out between the two sides.

The final result was that the vanguard of the 27th Army completely annihilated the remnants of more than 200 people of Sugiyama Moto's squad at the cost of losing more than 200 people.
