In early January 1938, as a precursor to the deprivation of Japanese assets in the United States, the United States terminated all trade in raw materials with Japan. On the same day, the US ambassador to Japan was ready to get his passport back in preparation for the severance of diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan.

On January 28, President Roosevelt asked Congress to immediately increase the cost of naval construction by 20 percent. On the same day, the US Secretaries of the Army and Navy respectively approved the "blue-red-orange" operational plan for the joint US-British war against Japan.

In early February, the US Congress approved the first "Vincennes Act" to expand the Navy. On 11 February, Secretary of State Hull said on the Japanese bombing of Guangzhou that the U.S. government would not approve the sale of aircraft and aviation equipment to countries that bombed civilians, after which the U.S. launched an arms embargo called a "moral embargo" against Japan.

At this point, the United States has almost completely torn its face with Japan in the full-front battle in Chapter 737! Under the tough actions of the United States, the Japanese authorities made a rare retreat.

On February 12, Admiral Gochi Yamamoto, the undersecretary of the Japanese Navy, was ordered to go to the embassy to explain, and in Gru's study, American and Japanese naval officers spread out their maps and sat on the floor.

Fearing that the United States would sever diplomatic relations and then form an alliance with China, the Japanese side, at Hirohito's strong demands, frankly admitted that the "Panai" incident was its own fault and promptly promised to compensate the United States for all losses.

February 20, 1938. Shibuya Yoyogi training ground in Tokyo, Japan.

It was originally a forest and wasteland, and it was named Yoyogi because it produced a large tree called "Shogi" for generations. Since the Meiji Restoration, this land that was originally used for planting trees has been used by the Japanese Army as a training ground.

After decades of operation, the Daiyogi training ground, which was originally only a production of "from wood", has now become an area of 540,000 square meters. A large playground, a shooting range and a huge training ground for the barracks were also built.

The main role of the Yoyogi training ground is not to train troops, but to serve as a place for the Japanese emperor to review the troops. From the end of 1936, this training 737 chapter full battle ground, which was originally open to civilians, suddenly became a military restricted area, and high brick walls were built around the training ground, and the engineers of the brigade were transferred from all over Japan to work day and night inside the wall, and artificially built the appearance of complex terrain such as mountains, woods, mud fields, and sand dunes.

In the planning of the Ministry of War of Japan. This Yoyogi training ground will be turned into a test base for Japan's new army weapons and equipment. And now, Hirohito is riding a white horse, solemnly inspecting the Japanese Army in Yoyogi.

Subsequently. At the military parade, Hirohito issued the "War Mobilization Order" that had already been drawn up! The whole of Japan immediately entered a state of full war!

On February 15, Chunhua Town, a suburb of Nanjing.

"Nanjing can't be defeated. Then don't waste your troops for the time being! Our goal was to first annihilate the Nationalist Government headed by Chiang Chung-sei. "King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace has already received an answer from Hirohito from the military headquarters.

Quite simply, if it is not possible to annihilate Chiang's forces in the Guannai within three months, then it makes little sense for this war to continue. Of course, this is not what the army, navy, and King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya and others want to see.

Therefore, they must do everything they can to continue the war. The best way to continue the war is to completely destroy the former Nanjing government represented by Chiang Zhongzheng.

"The empire sacrificed more than 30 of its best intelligence officers, and the news was that the troops guarding Nanjing were the sworn enemies of the empire - the Manchurian Defense Army!" King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "We must admit that the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht is extremely strong. ”

"But we don't need to tie ourselves up here, we can implement siege tactics and attack tactics for Nanjing." King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace paused as he spoke, and his fingers swiped across the map until he reached Wuhan!

"This is now the economic and political center of Jiang Zhongzheng. Our goal is to destroy and occupy this place completely! For this. The Fujian Dispatch Army has already attacked Jiangxi, and our task is to make a big detour and directly detour to Wuhan to launch an attack! ”

In fact, everyone present knew that now Hirohito was annoyed about the bombing of American gunboats. The order for the three-month capture was actually a punishment.

"Tomorrow, from North Korea and Qingdao to us, Fujian, and Guangdong...... And so on the area will launch a full-scale offensive! King Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace took a deep breath: "Gentlemen! The fate of the empire. It's time to fight!! ”

"Hay! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! Empire of Japan onboard ...... February 16, early morning.

As the sky darkened, the roar of "buzzing ......" airplanes came from the secret airfield of the Japanese army in Korea. In the cold wind, the generals and officers in army uniforms stood solemnly.

Immediately, several fighters soared into the sky! Towards the 38th parallel, the generals on the ground slowly gave a military salute to the plane!

"Gentlemen! I wish you good luck!! ”

"Woo woo woo ......" in the area controlled by the DPRK National Defense Forces, the alarm at the airport sounded piercingly! Countless pilots hurriedly got out of bed. Rush to the airport!

Gao Zhihang has been promoted to the commander of the Korean Theater Air Force of the National Defense Forces, and now he is solemnly looking at the subordinates who have arrived in the air force command and said in a deep voice.

"We sent news from the radar station on the 38th parallel that a large number of Japanese fighters were flying towards our border! I don't care if they're here for a tour or a drill, but your job is to kill them there! I order, carry out the first plan! Let's go! ”

"Yes!!" Gao Zhihang and the commander-in-chief of his family have a virtue, and there is little nonsense! The order is a killing move, and it will be rectified to death. Naturally, the officers of the following departments did the same.

The commander said, kill them. There is no doubt that what you want to do is to really die, and come back to clean the toilet by yourself.

The Japanese fighters had just taken off, and the Wehrmacht fighters on the Korean side were also rising from the ground at the same time. Kill towards the border.

In the early morning of February 16, Jinan, Shandong.

"Boom! Rumble!! ......The artillery fire outside the city was extremely fierce, and there was no doubt that the Japanese troops who had been silent had finally launched a full-scale attack.

Han Fuyu looked at the map with a blue face in his headquarters, and the news that came back showed that the battle situation was not good. An entire division of troops was fighting the Japanese army.

Don't count on the combat effectiveness of the militia regiment, and the only ones who can fight can only be the three divisions as the main force.

The heavy artillery unit has already been transferred by Jiang Zhongzheng, and if it weren't for the Wehrmacht to get a batch of mortars, it is estimated that the Japanese army would have attacked the city of Jinan long ago.

"Chairman, what should I do?! The situation is not good now......" Chief of Staff Liu Shuxiang said worriedly.

"Of course Lao Tzu knows that the situation is not good, but where do we retreat?!" Han Fuyu yelled irritently at his chief of staff, Liu Shuxiang: "Grandma's legs! These Japanese don't talk about morality, so they start fighting without saying a word! ”

Han Fuyu bowed down, looked at the map and said fiercely, "What's the situation over there in the Yin Pavilion?!" How long can it hold out?! ”

"I don't know......" Liu Shuxiang sighed and said: "The latest news from Yinting is that the Japanese have already hit Zibo. It is estimated that the next step is to fight Zhangqiu. ”

Han Fuyu was silent, Sun Tongxuan's 20th Division, Gu Liangmin's 22nd Division, and Li Hanzhang's 74th Division were now fighting the Japanese in Zibo. Gu Liangmin's 22nd Division fought the hardest, and it had already lost more than half of it.

"I'll go to his grandmother's ......," Han Fuyu scolded, and slowly walked out of the command headquarters, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the early morning of February 16, Tianjin.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Rumble...... The sound ......of gunfire has been ringing for a long time, and the Japanese army, which has increased to tens of thousands, has finally begun to move!

There was a smoke of gunpowder fighting outside the entire city of Tianjin, and countless officers and soldiers of the 29th Army rushed towards the Japanese army with red eyes!

"Kill the enemy!!" In the wilderness outside the city, the Japanese army held bayonets, while the 29th Army fought with their famous broadswords!

In the sky, the Japanese fighters could not give much support to the troops below. Because the war eagles of the Wehrmacht had already received the order and flew over the Shanhaiguan Pass to fight with the Japanese army here!

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble!! "A Japanese fighter was blown up in the air, and the morale of the 29th Army on the ground was greatly boosted! And Kazuki Kiyoji, who commanded the operation, angrily ordered the flying regiment to continue to attack, and it was necessary to occupy the entire Tianjin!

"Hahaha...... "In the headquarters of the 29th Army, Tong Linge seems to be laughing, but in fact he is full of tears! Once upon a time, we were able to have our own fighter jets?!

"Tell the brethren! The Wehrmacht brethren are about to be killed, let them fight hard! Don't disgrace the face of our 29th Army! Tong Linge said to the chief of staff, and the chief of staff, Zhang Weifan, replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

The Twenty-ninth Army, which has now been reorganized into the First Army. But it is customary for everyone to call this unit of their own army the Twenty-ninth Army. Song Zheyuan is now in charge of Tianjin, and Tong Linge, as the deputy commander, came directly to the front line as a commander.

Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 38th Division, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, were even more red-eyed and on the front line! The heavy artillery of the Japanese army was extremely fierce, but the entire 29th Army did not flinch!

The Wehrmacht War Eagle that appeared in the sky, and the letter from the Wehrmacht "The War of Nations, how can I be without me?!" I hope that you will leave some enemies and my sacrificial swords later! ”

There are only two words in the heart of the entire 29th Army: Cheer up!

The Wehrmacht is unambiguous and will fight as it says. Fighter planes were sent to fight in the sky with Japanese fighters, and the ground troops had already set off from Shanhaiguan and rushed to Tianjin!

"Kill the enemy!!" The roar from the bottom of my heart resounded throughout the battlefield!

In the early morning of February 16, Lushan, Jiangxi.

"! This Japanese has eaten gun poison?! Jiang Zhongzheng took the latest war report and scolded angrily, Jiangxi has fallen to most of it. The Japanese army is coming towards Lushan, Shandong, Tianjin, and Guangdong...... In the areas occupied by the Japanese army, news of a large-scale attack by the Japanese army came. rs！！！
