Chapter 610: The Nanyang Legion Attacks
It was an absolute feat for a Japanese person to broadcast to Japan over the airwaves, and Haruko Tagawa's tearful complaint made all the Japanese who heard the radio feel unprecedented anger.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the emperor is extremely sacred and cannot be slandered, and Tagawa, who was extremely angry, directly cursed the emperor and said such a great rebellion, which in the eyes of the Japanese is a crime, a heinous crime. But they couldn't control themselves not to listen to them.
Because this kind of thing happened around them, how many Japanese have sent their sons to the battlefield, and even many people's daughters and daughters-in-law have been recruited to the front line. Some fanatical Japanese geisha stars have organized themselves to the front line to take the initiative to comfort the warriors of Greater Japan.
In the eyes of most Japanese, this is the most glorious thing to fight for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere that Japan proclaims, but Tagawa Haruko's words seem to have punctured this hypocritical self-confidence, and these people are just victims.
"I have seen the surrender of thousands of Japanese soldiers, all of whom are serving hard labor in prisoner-of-war camps, not for the sake of the country, as is propagated at home. They wanted to cleanse themselves of their sins with their own labor, and Japan imposed the war on others and at the same time drew itself into the war. Those lovely young beings, who have become dehumanized beasts on the battlefield, who kill others and are slaughtered by others, these people are our children! ”
"Everyone is sober, what is the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, it is slaughter, it is blood, it is the destruction of human nature, it is the separation of wives, it is the destruction of the country and the family! I love my country, but I know better that if I continue to support the war, what awaits Japan is complete destruction. Fellow citizens. Sober up. Against war. Against the Emperor, this is our only way out! ”
This kind of radio propaganda is incessant, and China is pointing the spearhead of propaganda at the emperor, and at the same time pointing all the evil at Hirohito. This is not only the case in China, but also in the propaganda of the United States, which is also aimed at Hirohito.
The damage caused by Pearl Harbor was ten times greater than in history, with tens of thousands of Americans burned alive. American society is completely enraged, and they must take revenge. The U.S. government and the media can only propagate the emperor as the root of all evil, which is also the best way to appease public opinion, and set a target.
Of course, this is also Qiao Yu's intention, to find out the emperor who has been hiding behind the scenes, so that he can attract more hatred, and wait until Japan is defeated in the war, abolish the emperor system, and completely destroy the spiritual pillar of the Japanese nation, and the time is completely ripe.
In fact, Qiao Yu also thought about it. Can China retain its emperor like the United States in history? At the same time, he turned Japan into a dog of his own, and later Qiao Yu denied the idea.
The U.S. approach is somewhat similar to that of the mafia, in that they retain the basic structure of Japan and at the same time have the power to hold Japan in their hands. All this is based on the super national strength of the United States, if the United States declines, Japan will try its best to get rid of control, and in the end it will inevitably move bricks and drop bricks on the surface, and there may be no problem in a few decades, but what will happen after a hundred years, no one can say.
In Qiao Yu's view, the United States' approach is a typical hegemony, not a real royal way, as the so-called Hu Lu has no 100-year national fortune, which is talking about a country like the United States. What Qiao Yu wants to do is to completely destroy the foundation of the Japanese, shake their emperor system, and destroy the inheritance and faith of the Japanese. Even if China does not have enough strength to control Japan in the future, Japan will not be able to turn around and bite China, and they will be completely harmless.
After taking Pusan, China's inland seas were completely penetrated, and China's powerful fleet was able to go directly north through the Korean Strait into the Sea of Japan, and the western part of the Japanese mainland was completely exposed to China's attack. Moreover, Chinese ships could go directly north, into the Sea of Okhotsk, to assist the army in attacking Japanese forces in the Far East.
Japan operated in the Far East for twenty years, invested a lot of money, built roads, ports, built a large number of mines, and hundreds of oil wells. But there was only so much the Japanese could do, the frozen soil of the Far East would always be their nightmare, and large railways could not be built at all, so they could only build narrow-gauge railways and transport ore by small trains.
In addition, the harsh winter for half a year is extremely cold, and the sea surface will also freeze, so naturally it is impossible to transport supplies, and after the harsh winter is over, there will be terrible mud again. All roads are frozen and melted, and serious problems arise, so they often have to be tinkered with endlessly.
After China occupied the Outer Northeast, it changed the broad-gauge railroad left by the Russians into the same narrow-gauge as in China, and this project alone took three years. The biggest difficulty faced by Chinese engineers was the problem of cold, and many of those involved in this project had a new understanding of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which was nothing short of a miracle.
The Far East, which the Japanese occupy, is higher than the outer northeast, and the construction is more difficult, and it is remarkable that Japan has been able to do this. Of course, this is all based on the brutal expropriation of North Koreans, and according to rough estimates, more than 1.8 million North Korean laborers have died in the Far East in the past two decades, all of whom have died as a result of the bitter cold and extremely intense manual labor.
More than 6 million Koreans died at the hands of the Japanese, and the total population of the Korean Peninsula was less than 7 million, and the peninsula was completely reduced to rubble.
After China occupied the entire Korean Peninsula, a large number of Koreans' upper echelons took the initiative to demand that the Koreans should form their own army, and that they should participate in the war against Japan, completely destroy Japan, and avenge the tragic deaths of their compatriots over the years.
Someone is willing to act as an executioner, and the Chinese side naturally can't ask for it, but now is not the time to attack the Japanese mainland, on the one hand, Japan's war potential is still there, and if it attacks the mainland too early, the losses are incalculable; On the other hand, China cannot give up such a good opportunity to snatch the fruits of victory, and China still needs a large area of land in Nanyang to occupy. Now that they are stupidly stumbling with Japan, isn't it letting the Americans pick up the bargain for nothing?
China's high command had already issued an order to form the Nanyang Corps, which had a total of 123 divisions, the core of which was 16 Marine Corps divisions. These 16 divisions are all based on the children of fishermen from the southeast coast, who have been fighting the sea since childhood, have a tenacious will, are very familiar with the conditions of the sea, and can endure loneliness, so they are the best source of soldiers.
From the day it was formed, the Marine Corps has been the most rigorously trained branch of the armed forces, and every soldier is carefully selected.
In addition to the Marine Corps, the Nanyang Corps also has more than 3,000 combat aircraft, more than 400 ships, more than 2,000 landing craft and other equipment, and 1,500 transport ships.
Being able to assemble such a large force is also a test of China's national strength, in addition, five large aircraft carriers and twelve escort aircraft carriers have been incorporated into the entire Nanyang Army, which is definitely the most powerful force in East Asia.
Another secret weapon has also joined the war, and Janssen, who is in command of the Nanyang Corps, is personally observing the new type of ship, which has been designated an amphibious landing ship.
Amphibious landing ships are also a type of ships that developed at a high speed during World War II, and there was no concept of amphibious landing operations at all during World War I, and in World War II, whether it was the Pacific Theater, or the North African Theater, including the Normandy landing, it was an authentic amphibious landing operation, so in order to adapt to this new tactic, a new type of weapons and equipment had to come into being, that is, an amphibious landing ship.
Now Yang Sen is looking at China's latest Shanyue-class amphibious landing ship, this class of warships is 100 meters long, 15.3 meters wide, 4.2 meters draft, standard displacement of 1,653 tons, maximum displacement of 4,080 tons, the main engine is two Kunlun diesel engines, the total power is 1,700 horsepower, the maximum speed is 11 knots, the personnel is 111-144 people, the ship carries two landing craft, can carry 800-1,000 people, or 17 medium tanks, or 32 trucks.
At present, there are more than 50 warships equipped with this kind of warships in the Nanyang Legion, and Yang Sen is very satisfied with these new weapons and equipment.
And Yang Sen has also been in contact with the army since the end of the Qing Dynasty, he knows very well what China was like at that time, even bullets and rifles had to be imported from foreign countries, thirty years have passed, China has been able to produce all types of weapons, not only to meet its own needs, but also a large number of exports to Europe and the Soviet Union, this change can be described as earth-shaking.
All other slogans are false, only construction is the most important!
With advanced equipment and full of confidence, the Nanyang Legion went through the final preparations, and the powerful war machine finally began to operate.
The first target of the attack was the Philippines, which was the closest to Taiwan, and after the Japanese occupied the Philippines, they tried to use it as a base to retake Taiwan, so they deployed a large number of troops.
However, with the defeat of the navy, these soldiers have all become lost dogs, and the sea connection with the mainland has been basically cut off, and they can only sit back and wait for the Allied attack, the difference is whether China or the United States.
China's navy and air force were quick to tell them no more. It was liberated by China, and there was also Chinese control.
More than 300 long-range bombers have taken off from Taiwan's airfields and headed for the Philippines, and five Chinese aircraft carriers have also been dispatched to bomb all military and civilian facilities on Luzon. More than 400 Japanese planes were shot down in one day, and a large number of rookie pilots died early before they could experience the beauty of the blue sky!
After seizing initial air supremacy, the landing force finally launched a full-fledged attack. (To be continued.) )
