The formation of this defense line originated from the strategic idea of Youpeng Shan County to attract the land decisive battle of the Chinese army, and prepared to build it into the "Verdun of the East".

However, the Songshan defense line is a big joke, except for sending a few planes to bomb it, the Chinese side did not even touch it, and as a result, it attacked in the rear of the detour, so that the company was really unable to parry, and had to admit defeat and surrender under the threat of losing the country.

But now, this line of defense, which was supposed to be pinned on hope, is actually going to be blown up. The reason is that if you don't blow up the Chinese, you won't withdraw your troops. This made the officers of the Songshan defense line angry, and countless officers and men strongly opposed it, and the command headquarters quarreled into a pot of porridge.

On a high ground of the Songshan defense line, two young adjutants looked at the fortress defense line that stretched for dozens of kilometers, with regret in their eyes. These two men were Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Wanji, who had appeared in Shanghai, and they wanted to provoke the Chinese to go to war with the Great Powers in the spur of the moment, but in the end they gave up because they could not bear the terrible consequences.

"What a stupid man." Seishiro Itagaki cursed inexplicably.

Ishihara sneered, "Itagaki-kun, are you talking about those officers who oppose the destruction of the fortress?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki sneered, "Isn't it? Even if there is verbal support from the great powers, but the Chinese are determined not to retreat, who else can do anything with China? China's abrogation of all unequal treaties without a single soldier shows that the concessions and compromises made by the great powers to China can still turn their faces against the Chinese for the sake of the empire? ”

Ishihara said bitterly, "Yes." The more it is delayed, the more the Pyongmyung of the empire will be killed by the damned Koreans. In the past few months, the Chinese have mobilized almost all the ships to move all the 20 to 30 million people of Korea to the territory of the empire, saying that they are ethnic Koreans, and it is obvious that the Chinese want to destroy the empire by the hands of the Koreans. Three million, the Chinese armed three million Koreans with obsolete arms and forced the empire to destroy the fortresses, the purpose of which was to make the Koreans attack and advance without hindrance. And if we want to attack the areas controlled by the North Koreans, we need to attack the defensive line left by the Chinese to the North Koreans. ”

Seishiro Itagaki sneered: "No matter how many sheep there are, they are still sheep, and as far as the North Koreans are concerned, despite the short-term emergency training of the Chinese [***] side, I think they are still a rabble and vulnerable." But if it drags on for a long time and the North Koreans are well trained, the greater the price we will pay if we try to defeat them. ”

Ishihara said with a smile: "I think this truth should be clear to everyone, but there are still so many people who oppose the destruction of the fortress, I think it is because they are afraid, afraid that if there is no fortress and it cannot be defended, then it will become history." At least they are able to stabilize this line of defense for now, and they can still keep half of their capital. It is said that some politicians have asked for people to negotiate with the North Korean side to admit them as citizens of the empire. ”

"Childish!" Seishiro Itagaki sneered, "The North Koreans who are currently being supported are obviously the dogs of the Chinese, and how can a dog that has been released to bite our flesh and blood be able to unite?" Not to mention the suppression and massacre of North Korea by the empire's colonization of North Korea in the past few months, it is the large-scale migration of Koreans to the territory of the empire in the past few months, robbing houses and food in winter, and killing how many people in the empire? This is simply a deep blood feud that does not share the sky. ”

Ishihara could only smile bitterly, he knew very well that the existence of the book had reached a critical juncture, and the great powers hoped that the book would survive, but China would never allow the existence of a threat to their rear in Northeast Asia. The fact that the Chinese have relocated countless Koreans to Yoben at great cost, and that a large number of refugees from the mainland have been relocated to North Korea to resume production, shows that China is constantly strengthening its control over the mainland, and the Chinese air bases on the Korean Peninsula can threaten the entire Yoben.

He also knew that a war between the two Koreans was destined to be a defeat for both sides or a crushing victory for one side, and even if the Chinese side received assistance from the foreign powers, then the Chinese side would not hesitate to support the North Korean side, so that the two sides would fight an even match, and it would be better to die together. But what if he knew? There is no chance of a turnaround. Unless the book solemnly and publicly promised to abolish the state at the beginning of the war and demand unconditional annexation to China, perhaps the book would still be able to leave a line from extinction. Of course, it depends on Li Bufan's mood.

In Ishihara's opinion, Li Bufan is really vicious, and he basically wants to kill all of him, and he is still the kind of bitch who wants to set up an archway. The behavior of the Chinese National Defense Forces in this book is like that of a king's army, and this is still under the supervision of countless reporters and media, which is of course impeccable. However, the sinister intentions of supporting the security forces of the Koreans behind the scenes, turning a blind eye to their burning, killing, looting, and selling weapons as long as they were given money, letting the Koreans scrape three feet of ground in the occupied area of Yuben, and equipping the Koreans with more than 3 million armed forces, are self-evident.

"Come on, last madness!" Ishihara's expression was gloomy, and he secretly shouted in his heart.

Itagaki Seishiro gritted his teeth and said, "We can't sit still, Ishihara-kun, let's join forces with soldiers of insight!" ”

"Soldiers!?" Ishihara's mind was blank, and he could naturally understand what Seishiro Itagaki meant, that is, to activate the tradition of the book - Shimokagami. This made him hesitate for a while, if it was purely from the perspective of war, he fully believed that the army could defeat the three million army of Korea, and the military advice on the lower part of the river could make him a hero, but from the perspective of the overall situation of the whole of Greater East Asia, there was only one end for the army -- the destruction of the country, then they would undoubtedly become the sinners of the ages and the laughing stock of the world's history

"Two commanders, the emperor's edict, all adjutants immediately go to the headquarters to listen to the edict." A staff officer panted and ran up to report.

Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara were taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Tokyo's spring rain is continuous, and spring thunder is showing.

Under the gloomy sky, Tokyo looks very depressed, and the ruins can still be seen everywhere, the traces of the Great Kanto Earthquake are clearly visible, and there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.

The palace of the Emperor also seemed to have a depressing atmosphere.

Emperor Hirohito stood in the imperial study with a pale face and looked outside, the rolling spring thunder was like a giant hammer hitting his heart that had become extremely fragile at the moment, and he couldn't help but tremble. Behind him stood Uchida Yasuya and the old Saionji Konobo.

"Aiqing, is my decision right or wrong?" Hirohito's voice seemed to float from the sky, and it seemed vague and unassuming.

"Your Majesty, your decision is undoubtedly correct, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the empire, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the Koreans, and the more civilians will be killed and injured in the occupied areas of the empire." The purpose of the Shina people is to lose both the empire and the Koreans, and as pawns, no matter how much they struggle, they can't change the situation, and it is better to fight quickly. ”

Hirohito's eyes looked at Yasuya Uchida, and Yasuya Uchida bowed his head and said, "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, please resolutely implement it." ”

Hirohito was surprised: "Uchida-kun, you are against destroying the fortress defense. ”

Yasuya Uchida sighed, "Yes, Your Majesty. Chen thought that as soon as the Chinese withdrew, the empire would inevitably fight a decisive battle with the Koreans, and that the casualties of the war would stimulate the Koreans to massacre civilians in the areas under their control, and even if the Koreans were defeated, they would not change the outcome. The minister still thought that the existence of the fortress should be guaranteed, the current area controlled by the empire, the defensive line should be stabilized, and even if the war started, it would only try to maintain a draw. If the empire wants to survive, it can only wait, wait for China and the West to turn around or fight with Soviet Russia, and then the empire will attack again, defeat Korea, and recover the lost territory, perhaps in a corner of peace. But since His Majesty has decided to destroy the fortress defense, he should decide. ”

Hirohito said: "The empire can lose to China, but it must not lose to the Koreans." Uchida-kun was right to be worried, but as an emperor, I couldn't ignore the tens of millions of subjects in the occupied area, and I couldn't stand idly by watching them being killed by the damned Koreans. Now I only hope that the emperor [***] can fight quickly, defeat the Koreans as quickly as possible, recover the lost territory, and save the lives of the imperial subjects as much as possible. ”

Yasuya Uchida said bitterly: "The criminal minister has been to the defense line of the Chinese side, although the minister does not know much about military affairs, but according to the minister's observation, their fortifications are also extremely strong, and if you want to break through their defense line, I am afraid it will not be so easy." ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang sneered: "Uchida-kun, rest assured, our 410 mm caliber cannon is enough to destroy any fortification. ”

The so-called 410 caliber cannon is actually the caliber of the giant cannon on the battleship Mutsu, which is of course no problem for the company to build, and even the Admiralty has such a cannon barrel at all. The cannon is no better than other small-caliber army artillery, the barrel service life of the cannon of more than 300 mm is far from as long as imagined, and there is no 10,000-ton hydraulic press at present, although the 410-caliber cannon is built, but in fact, such a cannon will be scrapped if it fires a hundred shells, and the barrel needs to be replaced, otherwise it may lead to the barrel bursting. The Navy's claim to be a "gold-swallowing beast" is not empty words, and the amount of money spent on the barrels of the guns lost in training alone is incalculable.

The giant cannon is where his confidence in breaking the situation lies, not to mention that he still has a navy, although the remaining warships are all old goods, but the North Koreans do not have a navy.

Yasuya Uchida sighed and said, "I hope so." Naturally, he hoped that the situation would develop this way, but would the Chinese really let North Korea be defeated easily? However, his eyes saw the hopeful look in Hirohito's eyes, and the worried words reached the corners of his mouth and swallowed into his stomach
