Countless Japanese strong men and soldiers on the front line of Fukuyama were rushing to repair the fortifications, and the Japanese were preparing to build this place into an extremely strong fortification group, turning this defense line into Verdun in the east, so as to consume China's elite troops, and finally force the Chinese to end the war.

The dense Japanese soldiers and civilians sweated like worker ants nesting and rushed to work, and the invasion of foreign enemies frightened the Japanese, and also inspired the storm of resistance in the sky.

From time to time, the planes whizzing through the sky dropped several bombs, blowing up the Japanese who were building the fortifications to the point of flesh and blood, and the little Japan, which was disabled and missing arms and legs, was wailing in agony, which made people shudder, and soon medical personnel came forward to treat them.

Honjo stared at the sky blankly, his face numb, while the staff officer next to him, Hideki Tojo, looked hideous: "Yaga, damn the Shina man." ”

Honjo sighed, "There are more and more planes from the Shina people. ”

Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth and said, "This should be the prelude to the attack of the Shina people." Since the beginning of the war, before each major war, the people of China have used aircraft bombing to destroy the heavy weapons and strong fortifications of our army. ”

Honjo shook his head, pointed to the other side and said, "Look." ”

Hideki Tojo looked at it, and more than ten kilometers opposite was the position of the Chinese army, which was the forward force of the Chinese side. Now, however, the Chinese troops, who arrived only yesterday, are working hard to build fortifications a few kilometers away from Japan.

Honjo continued: "They don't look like they're going to attack, they're going to defend. ”

Hideki Tojo said in a deep voice: "I think there are not many forward troops in China, and the defensive posture is to provide a safe guarantee for the main assembly. ”

Honjo said bitterly: "I'm not worried about the Shina people attacking, what I'm afraid of is that the Shina people won't attack." ”

Hideki Tojo said in surprise: "What does the shogun mean?" ”

Honjo sighed: "After two naval battles, the people of China have gained the right to control the sea, and they are in an offensive state, and they have completely gained the strategic initiative. If it were me, I would never have fought a war of attrition with the other side with such a huge advantage, and I would choose to concentrate the elite main forces to strike at the enemy's heart with all my strength and quickly end the war. ”

"Tokyo or Kyoto!?" Hideki Tojo's face changed drastically.

"Hit the heart of the enemy!?" In the Nanjing Provisional Presidential Palace, Li Bufan looked at Xu Shuzheng in surprise.

"Yes!" Xu Shuzheng went south first, because Li Bufan had already hinted that he would only be the interim president and would not be elected as the official president, in Xu Shuzheng's view, then Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui family, was naturally the best candidate for president. Duan Qirui did not go south for the time being in order to avoid suspicion, but he had already gone south first, and it was also to probe Li Bufan's tone. Unexpectedly, he was facing a challenge from Japan to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army on the Fukuyama line.

In addition to having a stronger desire for power, Xu Shuzheng is also a generation of famous generals, with meritorious achievements in recovering Mongolia, and his military strategy is naturally very outstanding. He said categorically: "There is no point in fighting a war of attrition with the Japanese, we should go straight to Huanglong, end the war quickly, and settle the situation in East Asia, so as not to have too many dreams at night." At present, Li Bufan has the intention to give up the position of president, but it does not mean that he will still have this idea in the future, and by defeating Japan, Li Bufan's prestige will rise to the sky, even if he occupies that position, no one will oppose it, and he will not be able to oppose it.

"Hahaha." Li Bufan laughed and said, "General Xu said it well, it's really the same as what heroes see." However, then the smile gradually narrowed and said, "However, I am not prepared to end the war against Japan so soon, so this plan has been abandoned." ”

Xu Shuzheng shouted dissatisfiedly: "Why? Don't you want to defeat Japan as soon as possible so that the country can recuperate? ”

Wu Di shook his goose feather fan and smiled: "Of course not." This little Japan is like beating a dog, let's hurt it, don't let it hold a grudge, ready to bite back crazy at any time, you look at this little Japan, and we have to fight a decisive battle. Let's beat the dog, even if we don't kill it, we must at least beat it to cripple it, and completely beat the vicious dog into a pug. ”

"What do you mean?"

Wu Di was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Bufan. Li Bufan smiled and said: "General Xu, we all know that the Japanese have lost the battle so far, and the rest is the question of how badly they lost." But do the great powers really want to see China rise? I think you know how our country is treated. In their eyes, China cannot be regarded as their allies in the first place, and at best they regard us as their vassal states. And with the rise of our country, the huge interests of the great powers led by Britain and France in China will be threatened, how can they allow this kind of thing to happen? Now that China is unified and its military is strong, the great powers have repeatedly forced the provisional government to express its position on the treaty issue, and its wolf ambitions have been clearly exposed. I have made it clear that I will not be the official president, one of the reasons is that I am too junior and the most important reason is to avoid the issue of foreign powers. We are not afraid of the great powers, because they are very expensive to fight in the oceans, and we are sure to drag them down. However, if the great powers armed Japan and Japan sent troops nearby, it would be a disaster. We are not afraid of Japan's main force of elite troops, but we are worried about Japan's continuous supply of soldiers, do you know what I mean? ”

Xu Shuzheng's eyes flashed, and he was relieved in his heart, at least Li Bufan admitted to his face that he would not be a big president, so everything was easy to say. Pondering, he said: "If you want to stop Japan from continuously providing troops, you must weaken the areas controlled by the Japanese government. Do you mean to take advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Japanese army are gathering at the front line and capture a large empty area in their rear? ”

Li Bufan smiled and said, "What do you think?" Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself. If we were to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese in Fukuyama or in its heartland, even if we had won, it would have greatly damaged our vitality and the consequences would be very serious. Britain, France, and other great powers have not done this kind of thing in history. ”

Xu Shuzheng said with a wry smile: "However, after the peace talks, the great powers will definitely ask us to withdraw our troops, and that will not achieve the goal of weakening Japan's war potential." Are you ready to order the purge of all the youth in Japan? ”

Wu Di laughed and said: "Our Chinese army is a mighty army and a civilized army, how can it be possible to do such a thing?" However, there are more than 20 million ethnic Koreans in Japan on the Korean Peninsula, and we need to let them return to Japan after the war to ensure stability on the Korean Peninsula. ”

Xu Shuzheng's eyes widened and said, "Japanese Koreans? ”

Wu Di made a very innocent and serious expression and said, "That's right." Didn't Japan formally annex Korea more than a decade ago? Isn't it normal for citizens under Japanese rule to return to Japan if they have no other nationality and are naturally Japanese? ”

Xu Shuzheng couldn't help but say: "Even if you are reasonable, but these two or thirty million people got to Japan, regardless of the difficulty of transportation, but so many people went to Japan, how can they feed so many people with that little arable land in Japan?" Moreover, the Japanese and Koreans are as powerful as fire and water, so they will not kill a river of blood. ”

Wu Di pulled his face, held back a smile, and pretended to be helpless: "Then it's not something we should take care of." Saying that, he laughed dryly with Li Bufan.

Xu Shuzheng heard this gloomy laughter, and only felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to the top door. He suddenly understood that Li Bufan's support for the so-called Korean servant army was definitely not a whim, and it was said that the Korean servant army continued to loot the Japanese and used a large amount of wealth to buy the arms eliminated by the troops from Nanjing, and the troops were simply like blowing up balloons to expand rapidly. This is clearly to let these Korean troops fight with small Japan after the war, the great powers want to use Japanese forces to contain China, and Li Bufan used the Korean army to contain Japan. At that time, the great powers will have to deal with China, and they will only go into battle shirtless.

"Are you going to turn against the Great Powers after dealing with the Japanese?" Xu Shuzheng looked at Li Bufan and Wu Di with incredible eyes, although they said that they were sure to drag down the powers, but he really couldn't believe it, and he didn't have that confidence.

Li Bufan said calmly: "It is imperative to abolish unequal treaties, as for whether to turn the other cheek, it depends on whether those foreign devils have the courage to fight a war in the Far East." ”

Wu Di also said proudly: "The world war The Western world suffered heavy casualties and the whole people were war-weary, which is the moment when the Western army's will to fight is the weakest, and it is also the moment when the casualty bearing capacity is the lowest, and it is the best time for us to start a war with the West." ”

"Crazy, you two are crazy" Xu Shuzheng looked at Li Bufan and Wu Di with eyes as if he had seen a ghost, his face was like dirt.

The top cabinet leaders of the Japanese base camp and the top echelons of the navy and army were similarly pale with dirt.

Originally, seeing that the Chinese army was constantly gathering on the front line of Fukuyama, the Japanese base camp gritted its teeth and continued to gather troops to the front line, preparing to fight an unprecedented and tragic positional battle with the Chinese side. However, it was never expected that the Chinese side would simply repair the plank road in the dark, and as a result, it would take advantage of its maritime superiority to carry large-scale troop transport raids on Japan's rear Hokkaido and the empty area in the northern part of Honshu Island.

"Sendai was attacked by land and sea in China, and the empire had only one wing, but there were at least three divisions in China"

"Poof" Youpeng in Shan County spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell down when he looked up to the sky. He really can't hold on, sea supremacy, air supremacy, and strategic initiative are all not in the hands of the Japanese, and even Japan does not even have the most basic military superiority, how can this battle be fought? The other party simply hits wherever they want. Japan has too many good ports, which means that there are too many suitable locations for landing operations, and it is even more difficult to defend against them.

Heihachiro Togo said bitterly: "There is no need to fight. The Great Powers were asked to intercede once again, and the Empire would hand over all those involved in the repression to China. ”

Japan's top leaders understand that provoking China and Japan to fight a positional war of attrition is the only way for Japan to survive, and at least it shows Japan's tenacity, and the international community will certainly use the excuse to mediate when it sees the huge casualties caused by this war of attrition to both sides. However, China did not fall for Japan at all.

Japan's desperate behavior has instead become a lifeline for Japan
