"Brothers of the Imperial Army, the good days of the little devils are not long, their bullshit emperor has been captured alive, you follow the Japanese all the way to the dark, are you not afraid that your Japanese master will abandon you after losing power, or surrender to the national government as soon as possible is the right way, the chairman personally ordered the past not to blame, and I hope you will make plans as soon as possible." In the Japanese theater, as long as there were troops of the Imperial Allied Army, there was such a voice, and the Japanese emperor was captured alive not only in the national control area, but also in the Japanese theater.

In just three days, more than 50,000 Imperial Allied troops laid down their arms and surrendered to the anti-Japanese forces. The thunderous Burmese troops entered Hebei, so that the Tinder troops who received orders to lurk found a chance to make a comeback, if you want to sum up the current Hebei in one word, it is chaos.

Zhao Zhi's previous Spark operations against Hebei had already terrified the Japanese puppet army in Hebei, and most of the main transportation routes had been damaged to varying degrees, and the telephone lines between the Japanese strongholds had been damaged so much that even the telephone poles could not be found. The capture of the Japanese emperor alive made the hearts of ordinary people feel more angry, and the Tinder troops took this opportunity to recruit troops again, and dozens of Tinder troops of different numbers tossed back and forth in Hebei, and the Japanese puppet army was in panic all day long.

Persuading the Imperial Allied Army to surrender is one of the main means of rapid expansion of the Spark Army, mainly because the Spark Army currently lacks weapons and ammunition, and most of these Imperial Allied Forces who have surrendered to the Emperor Army carry weapons and ammunition, so compared to recruiting civilians to join the army, the Spark Army prefers to squat outside the Imperial Allied Army's garrison and use a loudspeaker to carry out face-to-face surrender.

"Brothers, we can't retreat, killing one is enough to kill two and earn one, as long as we bite these Japanese soldiers to the death, the brothers of Thunder will be able to capture Japan as soon as possible, and I don't know who to cry when the time comes." The 74th Army in the Shandong Theater did not have a good time, and after Zhao Zhi withdrew almost all the Thunder troops in Shandong, the 74th Army became the backbone of the fight against the Japanese army. In order to cut off the back road of Thunder in Jiaodong, the Kwantung Army troops ordered to go south have been increased to 4 divisions, and if it were not for the rescue of the Youth Army, the 74th Army might be surrounded by the Kwantung Army and annihilated.

The number of the Youth Army is huge, nominally an army, but in fact it is not worse than the number of the group army, and it is the first division of the Youth Army that rescues the 74th Army, with a number of 30,000. The 30,000 Youth Army plus the 74th Army has been expanded to 50,000 people, and the Nationalist Army has 80,000 soldiers on the side, while the Kwantung Army against them is 70,000.

Wang Yaowu and the 74th Army, who were on the front line, did not know that the Ministry of Military Affairs was negotiating with the Japanese, and in their opinion, the task of the 74th Army was to ensure the back road of the thunder, even if Zhao Zhi failed to take Tokyo in the end, as long as he could bring the Japanese emperor back to China, it would be a heavy blow to the Japanese army, and this blow was enough to destroy the Japanese army's will to fight.

The current Japanese army is not monolithic, Zhao Zhi's previous Shandong cross-cutting plan and Hebei's Spark plan have been implemented very successfully, and the Japanese puppet army in Shandong and Hebei has been overstretched. So in the face of the Kwantung Army, which was moving south, the 74th Army did not think it was terrible, there was no effective logistical supply line, and the faster the Kwantung Army went south, the closer it was to their defeat, and the 74th Army had already received the news, and the Spark troops, which had been dormant for a while, began to move again.

After Zhou Enlai negotiated with the Nationalist Government, two divisions of the Eighth Route Army had entered the Shandong Theater, and the strength of three other regiments had also entered the Hebei region. Actively sending troops is a unanimous decision of the CCP's high-level after discussion, Zhao Zhi's bold has already gone to Japan to fight, and the Shandong and Hebei theaters are at this time when the fish and dragons are mixed, and there will be no more time to wait at this time.

"Zhao Zhi has already captured the Japanese emperor?" Like Chiang Kai-shek in the villa on the south bank, Mao Zedong, who first heard the news, was also shocked, and Li Kenong, who was standing in front of him, nodded again and again, and showed Mao Zedong the newspaper brought back from Xi'an. Although the newspaper was three days ago, Mao Zedong still read it very carefully.

"The news was published in the newspaper three days ago, and the comrades in the office had already reported the news by telegram, and at that time we thought it was a propaganda offensive by the Nationalist Government, and it was not until our intelligence officers within the Chongqing Military Command confirmed that we were sure that the news in the newspaper was true." Li Kenong's good explanation solved the mystery in Mao Zedong's heart, and it seems that this news is indeed true, and Zhao Zhi did capture the Japanese emperor alive.

"It's not simple, it's not simple, this Zhao Zhi is very powerful." Putting the newspaper in his hand on the table, Mao Zedong habitually lit a cigarette, and then paced back and forth in the cave, and Li Kenong was dizzy when he only looked at it. The silence in the cave lasted only a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, Li Kenong, who had left the cave in a hurry, went to Zhou Enlai's residence, and then the top CCP leaders in Yan'an gathered again in Mao Zedong's cave, and the content of their discussion was the newspaper that Mao Zedong had in hand.

"Let's take a look, our children are amazing now, not to mention the war in Japan, and directly arrest the emperors of other people." Mao Zedong smiled and pushed the newspaper in his hand to the high-level people present, but there was a hint of joy in his words. Putting aside the contradictions between the CCP and the Nationalist Government, the capture of the Japanese emperor is exciting news for the Chinese people.

"It seems that we need to prepare early, once the Japanese surrender, Lao Chiang will inevitably turn his guns against us, most of Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan are in their hands, once the Kuomintang troops squeeze northern Shaanxi, our living space will become smaller and smaller." After reading the newspaper report, Zhu De was not happy, but frowned. The opponent of the Eighth Route Army was not only the Japanese army, the Jin Sui Army and the National Army had frictions with the Eighth Route Army, and even the Green Forest Army, which had been active in Henan, also clashed with the Eighth Route Army. If the Japanese surrendered, these forces subordinate to the Nationalist Government would inevitably target the Eighth Route Army.

No one knew what had happened in this cave in Yan'an this afternoon, but Zhou Enlai, who had left the cave, went directly to Chongqing, and three days later the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army received an order to mobilize two main divisions into the Shandong Theater to cooperate in the operation. Under Zhu De's careful arrangement, three more regiments of the Eighth Route Army infiltrated the Hebei region in batches, and this time the Eighth Route Army learned from Zhao Zhi's example, and planned to start a huge guerrilla war behind enemy lines in Hebei, striving to establish a base area and eliminate as many Japanese puppet forces as possible in Hebei.

Of course, Zhao Zhi would not have known that the situation in China had become like this, and he would not have known that the source of this chaos was the news published by Rowling in the newspaper, because Zhao Zhi's attention was now all focused on Hiroshima Prefecture. The success of the landing in the Gulf of Tonkin gave the Americans the dawn of victory, and when the Philippine battlefield was still in a stalemate, the US Congress finally made a decision that the US military was going to use troops against the Japanese mainland, and the two US troops that were supposed to be transferred to the Philippine battlefield were given priority to be stationed on the Japanese mainland, one landing in the Tokyo Bay and the other going to Hiroshima Prefecture.

When Zhao Zhi used Halsey's fleet to help with the landing in Tokyo Bay, he just wanted to bring the Americans in, and it was completely ineffective for the Thunder family to attack the Japanese mainland, and the wealthy US troops did have the qualifications to be the main wrongdoers, so Zhao Zhi wanted to pull them in. However, when Halsey's telegram of the good news reached Hiroshima Prefecture, Zhao Zhi, who received the telegram, was a little vigilant; if the order to transfer troops came from the US Department of Defense, Zhao Zhi might shout joy, but this order came from the Congress, so Zhao Zhi had to be cautious, and it seems that some forces in the Congress should have begun to be interested in Japan.

The United States needs a country that can balance Asia after the war, and Japan is indeed the most suitable in terms of geographical location and the current situation, but the United States does not need a country with a backward economy and a vague industry. Zhao Zhi's plunder plan included almost all of Japan's industrial system and its technicians, and if Zhao Zhi moved all of these things back to Vietnam and Thailand, the Japanese army would likely decline into a purely agricultural country.

Those politicians in the US Congress decided that there was no need for an agricultural country to balance Asia, so Zhao Zhi's first thought after receiving the telegram was that this upcoming US military unit was here to spy on him, and the Americans were afraid that they would empty Japan. Only in this way can the Japanese emperor be forced to announce the surrender of the mainland, and if the Japanese mainland surrenders, the US troops who come to the aid can be transferred to the Philippines and the South Asian islands to continue the war, and Zhao Zhi's plundering plan will naturally not be known to the Americans.

"Tell the Jewish troops who landed in Tokyo Bay to carry out Operation Flame against the city of Tokyo, I only give them two days, and after two days, I will hear Emperor Hirohito personally read the instrument of surrender, only two days." Zhao Zhi's Flame Operation is a fire attack on the urban area of Tokyo, incendiary bombs, flamethrowers will become a means of attack, most of the Japanese houses are wooden structures, such buildings can easily be engulfed by fire, American reinforcements will arrive in four days, so Zhao Zhi plans to make a desperate gamble and play a ruthless game with the Japanese.
