From early March 1940, the civil war in the Japanese Empire finally began to rage. On the Nakasendo battlefield, the outposts of both sides faced off in the area of Lake Suwa in the northwest of Kofu, and although it was only a secondary battlefield, the two sides fought a series of short but violent encounters in the Koshin Mountains. On the Hokuriku side, Hirohito's Northern Army launched a fierce attack on the Himekawa Line, which was held by the Japanese-controlled Fourth Army on the Tokyo side. The two sides repeatedly tug-of-war in the area of Kurohime Mountain and Star Mountain west of Himegawa, and fought hard. Although the Northern Army had an absolute advantage in numbers, due to the narrow terrain of the Hokuriku Mountains, it was difficult for heavy groups to enter and exit, so the Japanese Army, which was holding on to the danger, was on a par with its opponents. The fiercest fighting took place in the Tokaido area.

The Hirohito Kanto Raiders had assembled the main force of more than 30 divisions in Shizuoka and Aichi prefectures. Beginning on 5 March, the 4th Division, the vanguard of the group, frantically advanced eastward. It was hoped that the army loyal to the new government in Tokyo would be defeated and the Japanese capital Tokyo would be recaptured before the Chinese reinforcements arrived. If possible, an offensive was also being prepared against the Chinese Japanese Front on the Miura Peninsula to recapture the military port of Yokosuka, which was occupied by China. Originally, the focus of contention between the two sides was Mt. Hakone, located in the northeast of the Izu Peninsula and west of Odawara City, where the infantry of the 4th Division of Hirohito, with the support of hundreds of artillery pieces of various artillery, launched wave after wave of man-sea offensives against the 1st Infantry Wing of the 1st Division of the Tokyo Side, which was firmly entrenched on the heights of Mt. Hakone, in a vain attempt to seize the gateway to the Kanto Plain with overwhelming numerical superiority. However, Tokyo also attached great importance to the gains and losses of Mt. Hakone, and sent a newly reorganized division from Tokyo that originally belonged to the Korean Army to reinforce Mt. Hakone. In addition, the newly formed Second Division was transferred from the First Army on the Kofu side, and moved south along the Fuji River, occupying positions along the line of Mt. Mao, Mt. Minoyan, and Mt. Shichimian, and made a posture of attacking the rear of the Fourth Division of the Hirohito side. So the 4th Division naturally moved to the defense.

Until March 8, the main forces of the Kwantung Raiding Army arrived one after another. Only then did the offensive begin to resume. And at this time. The battle lines between the two sides have also extended from the area of Mt. Hakone to the west and south sides of Mt. Fuji, starting from Mt. Shichimei in Yamanashi Prefecture in the west and turning southeast at the foot of Mt. Fuji. All the way to Sagami Bay. Over the past few days, the main forces of both sides have been continuously reinforced from the rear, and heavy firearms have gradually increased. Although the Kwantung Raiders faced a shortage of logistical supplies. The front line of Suruga Bay in the rear of the flanks is threatened by the Chinese Navy. However, the attacks of the Kwantung Raiders continued, and the fighting became more and more intense. Toshiro Kohata, chief of staff of the Japanese Defense Army, personally sat in Shizuoka City as a representative of the headquarters, urging all divisions and regiments to attack vigorously. The follow-up troops of the Kwantung Raiding Army also arrived along the Tokai Railway, and it seemed that they were preparing for a bloody battle at the foot of Mt. Fuji and the troops from Tokyo to decide the fate of Japan's future!

At this time, the Tokyo side also put on a decisive posture at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The main forces of the Japanese Kuomintang, including the 1st Division and the Guards Division, formed the 2nd Army, and under the command of Major General Teruzo Yasudo, the chief of staff of the army, who had been promoted at rocket speed, spread out southeast of Mount Fuji and put up stubborn resistance. To the west of Mt. Fuji, south of Kofu, the 2nd Division, with Hideyasu Osa, another backbone of the Japanese Nationalists, was in charge of defense. Although there are only three divisions of troops. However, the troop establishment is very sufficient, and after the Chinese side provided timely assistance and replenished a large number of officers and men of the DPRK army, the three divisions and regiments were both in terms of personnel and weapons and equipment. It is no different from the standing divisions of pre-war Japan. Therefore, the number of people is small. But the scene is not at a disadvantage.

Both sides of the Japanese Civil War are now committed to this offensive and defensive battle with the utmost determination! Hundreds of cannons on both sides fired at each other. The infantry on both sides also shouted "Onboard!" Onboard! The slogans are charging and counter-charging each other, and every hill is pointed. It's often over and over again! After paying extremely tragic casualties, it is difficult to decide where to belong! Both sides were the same Japanese troops, both of them were almost as fierce and tenacious. One side relied on the strength of the crowd to start a crowd tactic, and the other side turned the front of the two armies into a wall of artillery fire with ferocious firepower, and both sides showed the greatest determination!

In just a few days, the battle line was already a sea of corpses and blood, and even the battle around Lake Suwa, which had been relatively peaceful, began to become fierce. When Lieutenant General Toshiro Obata who had been supervising the battle on the front line on behalf of Prince Kanin Palace found that his numerical superiority was not enough to overwhelm the opponent's firepower, he ordered the army in the direction of Nakasendo (Hirohito) to launch an offensive in order to outflank the opponent's flank. And Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army (Tokyo side) sitting in Kofu, did not give an inch, relying on the mountains around Kofu to resist desperately, and the casualties on both sides were also extremely heavy!

When Jiang Jishi was invited to leave his headquarters in Yokosuka and come to the Miyake Saka War Department in Tokyo, the Japanese civil war had already entered the **. Looking at the battle lines of the two armies on the map and listening to the staff officers of the Japanese side reading in blunt Chinese one after another battle reports from the front, this Chinese reactionary suddenly had an unreal feeling! A united imperialist China is oppressing a semi-colonial Japan divided by civil war! Isn't it a dream now?

"Your Excellency! Now is the most critical moment in the battle against thieves! The main force of the thief army has been drawn to the area around Kofu and Mt. Fuji. According to intelligence, their rear was very empty, and there was only one third-rate division in Kyoto and Osaka Castle, and Nagoya was only guarded by reservists of the third division. If you can use your navy to transport a few elite divisions to land near Osaka, you will definitely be able to attack Kyoto and capture the rebel Zairen alive! ”

Speaking was the mastermind of the 2.15 coup d'état, one of the leaders of the Japanese Kuomintang and the Restoration Comrades Association, Nishida Shui. His military rank has been promoted several levels in a row, and he has become the army chief, and his position has become the director of the military affairs bureau of the army province, which holds real power. At this time, Nishida Dazuo was standing beside Jiang Jishi, with an eager look on his face.

It seems that this Japanese civil war was provoked by him and his comrades! The original starting point was to bring down the bureaucratic chaebol clique that held power and brought the country into the abyss of defeat. Let Japan extricate itself from this hopeless war as soon as possible, so that it can embark on the road of reconstruction and reconstruction as soon as possible. But no one expected that the final result would be such a bloody civil war! Thinking that there are now 3 million Japanese soldiers killing each other because of their "revolutionary actions", Nishida is ashamed and only wants to find a place where no one is to commit suicide! If his death could put an end to this catastrophe, he would definitely not hesitate to die! It's just that his little Dazuo (who has just been promoted exceptionally) has the ability to poke a hole in the heavens of the Japanese Empire. But there is absolutely no way to clean up the mess in front of you. Now the only one that can save Japan. Probably only the Chinese Marshal Jiang J Shi in front of him, right?

Jiang Jishi glanced back at him, then shook his head with a wry smile, and turned his gaze to the map again without saying a word. We are kind-hearted reactionaries. In fact, I really want to help the Japanese people get rid of the suffering of the civil war as soon as possible! But well...... Will the one who blindly commanded the Sino-American coalition attack on Hawaii in San Diego, USA, be so kind? Without Luo Yaoguo's consent, how could Lao Chiang, the commander of the Japanese Front, command the navy of the Wehrmacht?

Nishida is really in a hurry. He was even more angry at Jiang Jshi's non-critical attitude towards his advice, and he shouted again: "Your Excellency, Marshal." The thieves in front of the Nakasendo and Tokaido are 10 times larger than me! There is no certainty of a head-to-head victory, and the only way now is to use the sea advantage to carry out a surprise attack! As long as your country helps us transport an elite division to Osaka, we will be able to cope with the rest ourselves! Your Excellency Marshal, please make up your mind quickly! ”

Jiang Jishi's expression was a little distressed, but more helpless. He looked at Nishida and said slowly: "I will propose the matter of using the fleet to the General Staff, but at the moment, the combat mission of our navy is quite heavy, not only does Hawaii need a large number of ships, but also sea transportation now needs ships to escort it...... According to intelligence, the combined fleet of the thieves has dispersed small and medium-sized ships to break the engagement! So it is very difficult to mobilize the fleet...... The only thing that is possible at the moment is to hold the frontal front. Fight a war of attrition with the army of thieves. They are now without weapons and ammunition supplies, and once a war of attrition is fought, the Tokyo side will definitely win the final victory. Please tell Mr. Kita and Admiral Yoshida. We will mobilize a batch of weapons and ammunition to provide to you as soon as possible. If necessary, the Japanese Front also had a bomber aviation regiment that could be used to aid in the war. ”

I heard that Lao Chiang proposed to use bombers to help in the war. Xitian tax hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, gave a military salute to Jiang Jishi, and then turned his head and left without saying a word. The current Tokyo government looks a bit like a puppet of the Chinese, not only ordinary Japanese citizens have such views, even the core members of the Japanese Kuomintang and the Restoration Comrades Association are not confident in their hearts, so they have been very hesitant to invite the squadron to help in the battle, and they have never made up their final decision.

……

"Reinforcements from GC International are coming soon!" A cheerful shout suddenly relaxed the atmosphere at the headquarters of Kasugayama.

In the past two days, the Fourth Army of the Japanese G was also under great pressure, although the Northern Army on the Hirohito side was not the main force, but the strength of the Japanese Army was also weak. The total strength in their hands was no more than 40,000 men, and they were divided into three divisions and regiments, as well as an artillery regiment directly under the army headquarters. Two of the three divisions were now deployed to the west of the Himegawa Line, while the remaining one was scattered across Joetsu, Myoko, Kashiwazaki, Iiyama, and other places, responsible for defending the nascent revolutionary regime, and at the same time taking on the heavy task of suppressing the rich peasant class of Japanese landlords with a strong samurai class legacy!

Moreover, unlike the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops loyal to the Tokyo government, the Japanese army was not born out of the army of the former Japanese Empire, but was completely a revolutionary army established by the Japanese and the Japanese with the help of the GC International. Therefore, although the battle on the front line of Himekawa was not very fierce, the Japanese fought very hard.

As for abandoning the Himekawa defense line and luring the enemy into something else...... The Japanese G and the GC International Advisory Group that guided the Japanese G operation are unimaginable! It has only been less than a month since the establishment of the base area of the Japanese G, and the Japanese landlords and rich peasants in the base area have not yet been suppressed, but the Japanese landlords in Kita-Nagano Prefecture and northeastern Niigata around the base area have already established quite a number of landlord armed forces under the organization of a group of elderly retired officers of the Japanese Army! Many of the leaders of the landlords' armed forces also received their names and numbers from the new government in Tokyo, and they were considered serious officers and soldiers. However, these officers and soldiers were not busy dealing with the thief army on Hirohito's side, but surrounded the base of the Japanese g...... According to the information obtained by the Japanese G and GC International, the main weapons and equipment in the hands of these landlord armed forces seem to be the Min-13 rifles and Min-13 water-cooled machine guns eliminated by the Chinese National Defense Forces!

"Comrade Advisor. How many troops were sent to Japan organizationally this time? "I heard that another reinforcement had arrived. The heart of the Japanese leader Nosaka Sanzo who had been hanging for several days finally relaxed a little. He smiled and asked Gu Shunzhang, GC International Consultant on the side of the map station.

"This time the GC International Army from the Far East has an infantry corps, about 30,000 people." Gu Shunzhang didn't raise his head. Still staring at the military map in front of him, he seemed to be planning how to defeat a strong enemy and open up a new situation in the Japanese revolution. However, this person actually can't quite understand the various lines and symbols on the military map...... After all, there is still a lot of distance between Tekko's work and commanding operations. Fortunately, the GC International Executive Committee has taken note of this issue. This time, together with the 10th Army of the GC International, there were several military experts from the former Soviet Red Army, and the leader was Comrade Chuikov, who had served as a military adviser in China for a long time.

"How's the situation with the mobilization of recruits?" Gu Shunzhang's fingers tapped lightly on the map table, his brows furrowed slightly, he made a contemplative look, and said slowly: "With the 30,000 troops this time, we have 70,000 troops, but most of them are internationalist fighters from China and North Korea, and this situation is not in line with the original plan of GC International...... It is also inconsistent with the vigorous development of the Japanese revolution. To this end, it is necessary to intensify mobilization and violently expand the revolutionary armed forces before the end of April. Mobilize 50,000 recruits. Get ready for the Japanese Revolution! When he said the last few words, Gu Shunzhang's voice was already high-pitched. His face seemed to shine brightly.

"Revolution**...... It's coming? Nosaka Sansan was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Shunzhang fixedly. Gu Shunzhang snorted: "This is the instruction of the chairman of the GC International Week and Vice Chairman Mao, they are standing at the height of the world revolution to analyze the Japanese revolution, and they look at the problem at a height that we can't reach, so they also see it more comprehensively and thoroughly than us...... There is no doubt about this, and there should be no doubt about it! You only need to strictly follow the instructions of Chairman Zhou and Vice Chairman Mao to usher in the first day of the Japanese Revolution! ”

His gaze turned back to the map, staring heavily at the battle line around Mt. Fuji, where hundreds of thousands of troops from Hirohito and Tokyo were facing each other, and muttered: "Where is the revolutionary **......**?" Why can't I see it at all? ”

……

The officers and men of the brigade wearing the uniform of the Japanese army in khaki are carrying out military training in the eastern part of the Far Eastern Republic, in the lower reaches of the Amur River. These troops, of course, are not the Japanese invading army armed to the teeth, they are the ** of the Japanese Revolution! After more than a month of recruitment, GC International has recruited tens of thousands of Korean officers and soldiers from prisoner of war camps all over the Korean Peninsula, as well as Korean officers and soldiers of the former Japanese Army! These officers and men were organized into an infantry corps with three infantry divisions and a heavy artillery regiment, and the officers were the backbone of the GC International Army and the Korean People's Army, and many of them were drawn back from the Indian battlefield and had rich military experience. Choe Yong-jian, the former leader of the Korean People's Army, now assumes the name Takeo Kondo and has become the commander of this "Japanese army." The chief of staff of the army is Li Shiqun of the GC International Army under the pseudonym Lin Qianxin.

Since most of these "Japanese revolutionary officers and soldiers" originally had a solid military foundation, they were also very easy to train, and they completed the training tasks assigned by the GC International Military Committee in less than a month, and they still had a little taste of elite divisions!

The weapons and equipment to arm this revolutionary army were transported to the Temple Street Wharf five days ago by several dilapidated military bulk freighters, totaling 20,000 Min-13 rifles, 3,000 Min-13 water-cooled machine guns, more than 200 60mm or 80mm mortars, 72 Min-13 75mm field guns, more than 35,000 sets of half-used infantry equipment, and thousands of boxes of various ammunition. Although these ships did not have any markings on them, nor did they fly the national flag, the internal affairs personnel of the Far Eastern Republic who were in charge of guarding on the pier on Temple Street could still see at a glance the strong military temperament of those crews, these people were definitely from a well-trained navy! The GC international navy of the Far Eastern Republic cannot be compared with them at all, and such elite naval personnel, in the current Asia, I am afraid that only the navy of the Republic of China can take it, right?

The munitions arrived along with several middle-aged men dressed in ordinary Chinese robes and with bowler hats on their heads, who were picked up by the NKVD car of the Far Eastern Republic as soon as they got off the ship. And at this moment, these guys, who looked like Kuomintang spies, were also in this assembly area in the lower reaches of the Amur River. Holding military binoculars from afar, he looked at the Great Japanese Revolutionary Imperial Army with plaster flags, red armbands on their arms, and Chinese rifles on their shoulders. Among them, there was a thin man wearing a long shirt with a little sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, it was the famous tycoon Du Yuesheng in Shanghai, he muttered while looking at it: "Well, it is really an elite, it is worthy of the troops brought out by G in the people's house, and there is a murderous aura inside and out!" With such a strong team returning to Japan, it is estimated that Lao Jiang will feel better, right? I don't know what the auxiliary commander is calculating, and he actually wants us to export arms to the Far East......"

"Brother Yuesheng, there must be a reason for the assistant marshal's arrangement, and the people below us care about him like that." The person who talked to Du Yuesheng was a fat man with a wide mouth and a square mouth, this person was Du Yuesheng's cousin and number one cronie, named Wan Molin.

Du Yuesheng put down the binoculars in his hand, glanced at the wide-hearted and fat cousin beside him, and smiled faintly: "The assistant marshal has a lot of opportunities, many things can't be taken care of, and those of us who are doing things below should pay more attention." Merlin, I guess the assistant commander wants to keep Japan in chaos, I don't think Hirohito's side will be able to support it for long, and the next big drama is the Japanese Kuomintang and the Japanese GCD! Merlin, do you understand? ”

Wan Molin shook his head slightly, looking puzzled. Du Yuesheng smiled and said: "The cohesion of the Japanese nation is very strong, and now because Hirohito still has illusions about Germany and refuses to back down, it has caused a civil war between the two emperors...... Once our army takes Hawaii, the forces supporting Hirohito in Japan will collapse immediately, and Emperor Takahito will be victorious without a fight! If the strength of the Japanese g is too weak, the Japanese Kuomintang will dominate the world! ”

"I don't understand, I don't understand, aren't the Japanese Kuomintang and us friends? What's so bad about them unifying Japan? Wan Molin still shook his head.

"Of course not." Du Yuesheng blinked a pair of small eyes and thought for a while, "If the assistant marshal thinks it's not good, it's not good!" He threw the binoculars in his hand to the entourage following behind him, and then paced with his hands behind his back, and Wan Molin hurriedly followed, while waving his hand to the few followers behind him, signaling them to keep their distance.

Du Yuesheng walked for a while before he spoke again: "Merlin, I will personally run the business here in the Far East in the future, and I will be in charge of the 'human trafficking' on the Japanese side." The assistant commander instructed that we must find a way to get more young people in Japan, especially girls. The assistant commander said that young people are the future of a country, and if there are no young people in a country, there will be no future for this country! My understanding is that the young people who want to be in Japan will either leave their homes or die in the civil war...... In this way, after more than ten or twenty years, China and Japan may really become a family, which is really exciting! ”
