At five o'clock in the afternoon of 7 June, a regiment of airborne troops boarded the plane again after a brief rest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the 51st Division was temporarily in isolation, and they had no equipment in their hands, they were not suitable for continuing their missions, and the troops sent over to support them were also slightly tight, so the only thing in You Botai's hands that could be used for rapid mobility was the airborne troops that had just arrived.

Although more troops are being landed in the future, and at least 50,000 troops will land in Japan every two days on average, the soldiers who have just landed cannot immediately enter the battlefield, the biggest reason is seasickness, and they need at least one or two days of rest before they can carry out their mission.

At 5:40 a.m., the airborne regiment officially arrived at the airborne area, and the soldiers of the entire regiment successfully landed on Sakurajima, only two kilometers away from the northern area of Kagoshima, without resistance, and the airborne regiment was assembled before dark.

At seven o'clock, the airborne regiment began to move towards the location of the five warships, Japan is now in an extremely empty period of time, most of the existing forces are attracted to Hokkaido and the northern half of Kyushu Island, plus Nogi Noshinori prefers to have a decisive battle with the Chinese in Kurume, so half of the garrison on Kyushu Island was transferred to the vicinity of Kurume in advance for ambush.

Therefore, the strength of troops in other places is naturally extremely short, and even in many places, the Japanese army has to assign some civilians to act as observers, and once the enemy situation is discovered, it will immediately report to the nearby Japanese army.

But the effect of this can only be regarded as average, and it is not as perfect as imagined. As for the reasons, in fact, there are many reasons, such as the Japanese civilians who act as observers, once discovered, will soon be thrown into the concentration camp, and even themselves will be difficult to protect, how can they have the opportunity to report to the Japanese army?

Another reason is that the strength of the Japanese army itself is insufficient, and the troops that can fight are basically in the front, and those who remain in the back are all recruits who have just been formed, and they can't even make a weapon per person, let alone combat effectiveness.

After the assembly, the airborne regiment immediately put on a chemical protective suit, compared with the 51st Division's kind of equipment that made a big move, the airborne regiment's method is relatively simple, only need to take off the equipment on the body, take off the shoes together, and then put on the chemical protective clothing, put on shoes, put on the tactical vest outside the chemical protective clothing, put on a gas mask, and finally put on a helmet outside, the whole process only takes one or two minutes, and the protection of the soldier himself is also extremely strict.

It can even be said that as long as you don't die and enter the drug field in this way, no problems will occur at all.

At about nine o'clock, the airborne regiment arrived at the location of the five battleships, but because it was already dark, the airborne regiment did not rush to board the ship, but rested on the spot nearby.

After dawn on the 8th, the airborne regiment began its unfinished mission yesterday, with the soldiers of the two battalions boarding five different warships and the remaining two battalions on guard below.

Occasionally, the sound of gunfire could be heard from the warship, which was the movement of the airborne regiment in the clearing of the Japanese troops who had not yet completely died.

In fact, after staying in the poison gas for a few days, plus the mustard gas itself is heavier than the air, the mustard gas attached to the surface of the warship is also sinking little by little, and the Japanese army is not very well protected, except for some people who ran away early, the people who chose to stick to the ship are basically dead.

In less than half an hour, the airborne regiment completely cleaned up the five warships, and while notifying the headquarters by telegram, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were removed from the warships and burned on the spot.

Then the airborne regiment held on to this place until the tugboats of the Navy arrived.

At the same time, on the other side, You Botai, who had an army of 300,000 troops, finally began to exert his strength again, and the Japanese army, who had been reezing for a few days, once again felt the pain caused by the war, and even for a moment, many Japanese soldiers hated to be killed directly by the enemy.

According to post-war statistics, within a month after the Chinese army landed, the number of Japanese (Japanese soldiers, civilians) who chose to commit suicide has reached nearly 10,000.

The number of Japanese who died in the camp was 100,000, and thick black smoke could be seen rising from the concentration camp every day, which was the black smoke from the burning of corpses.

By 10 June, less than a week after the landing, more than 50,000 Japanese had chosen to surrender, most of whom were civilians and only a few hundred soldiers, mainly as a result of the Chinese's policy of leaving no one alive on the battlefield.

On June 11, under the pressure of 150,000 troops, Nogi Noshinori once again lost a division, and the original plan to lure the Chinese to Kurume for a decisive battle was on the verge of failure.

The main premise of luring the enemy is that there is not much difference in strength between the enemy and us, otherwise there is no way to implement this strategy, because the troops you send to lure the enemy are likely to be gone forever, and they will not even be able to escape themselves, so what do you expect to lure the enemy into an ambush circle?

On June 17, the Chinese once again showed the Japanese what a breakthrough offensive was, and in just a few days, the Japanese army retreated one after another, and the 200,000-strong army directly slaughtered another important city on the island of Kyushu, Kumamoto.

Kumamoto's population is among the highest on the island of Kyushu, and Kumamoto's soldiers are known for their ferocity, so when dealing with Kumamoto, the imperial army did not show the slightest mercy, and still strictly implemented a series of previous policies.

On June 18, with no resistance in Kumamoto Castle, thousands of Japanese troops were annihilated, more than 20,000 civilians were killed and wounded, and hundreds of thousands were captured.

Although the Japanese government has moved most of the civilians to Honshu Island, there are so many people on Kyushu Island that it is not easy to move them all. In addition, the Japanese government only let people go, but did not give any subsidies, and even how to live in Honshu is not guaranteed, except for those who moved away in the early stage, basically no one has chosen to leave in the later period.

It is not certain when the Chinese will fight, and for the matter of migration, regardless of the impact of the Chinese offensive on Japan, but as soon as this policy came out, it had a huge impact on Japan, which is equivalent to directly telling Japanese civilians that Japan is not China's opponent, and even if this battle continues, it can only be defeated.

The Japanese resistance was not as strong as expected, at least compared to the performance of the Japanese army in previous years, these reactions of the Japanese did not seem to be resistance at all.

And this feeling is not unique to everyone, many officers, and even ordinary soldiers also have this feeling, in short, the Japanese now, compared with the Japanese in the past, it seems that there has been a big change, a big change.

It is the feeling of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, China has not become strong before, so the Japanese always try their best to bite off the flesh from China, but now that China is strong, the Japanese are as honest as a docile domestic dog, and even many civilians dare not have any sense of resistance.

Of course, there is another thing that is even more surprising, that is, 70 percent of the Japanese who died in the concentration camps died of starvation, 129.9 percent were killed by the Japanese, and 0.1 percent died of other causes, such as disease.

If the Japanese Army can only survive now, then the Japanese Navy can only be described in a tragic word.

After the occupation of Kumamoto, a strange rumor suddenly spread in Kumamoto, and then this rumor spread to the entire island of Kyushu with lightning speed, and then in just a few days, this rumor began to spread throughout the four provinces of Japan.

The news that the Japanese Admiral and Commander of the Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, had been killed and that the Chinese had captured nine of Japan's main warships swept through Japan in just a few days, and this news surprised the whole of Japan.

Previously, they already knew that the navy had been defeated in the East China Sea, and the combined fleet was also a great loss of strength, but now no one expected that when the Japanese army was in the most difficult situation, when the army needed the navy to attack the Chinese navy and cut off their logistical supplies, there was a sudden earthquake on the navy's side.

The death of the commander of the Combined Fleet also meant that the Combined Fleet had basically been destroyed, and in fact, by this time, the Japanese top brass no longer had any illusions about the navy.

There is no doubt that Japan is a country with a strong sense of gambler, and when he realized that the decisive battle of Kurume was no longer possible, Nogi Noshinori was forced to transfer the defenders near Kurume to the front, and he planned to move forward to fight the Chinese outside of Kurume.

In the words of Nogi Noshinori, this is the final outcome of the First World War, and the final outcome will be determined by this battle.

Because the logistics of the Japanese army have been greatly affected, dragging it down is very disadvantageous to the Japanese army, but the Chinese are not impatient, and the tactics of steady progress make the Japanese very uncomfortable.

And just when Nogi Noshinori planned to concentrate all his forces and fight the Chinese to the death in Sanshan City, a shocking news suddenly disrupted Nogi Noshinori's plan, and this news also cast a shadow over the entire Japan.

Emperor Meiji died of illness, and before he died, Emperor Meiji made the last decision of his life, issued the last edict, surrender!
