With the Chinese Navy defeating the Japanese Navy and gaining supremacy of the Japanese coastal waters, the Japanese Army also realized that the Chinese Army would soon launch an attack on the Japanese mainland. As a result, the Japanese Army also accelerated the deployment of troops on the island of Kyushu. The six divisions deployed on Kyushu Island in advance formed the First Army and the Second Army of Kyushu Island, each with three divisions and regiments. The four divisions that will be subsequently dispatched to Kyushu Island will form the Third Army of Kyushu Island. Ten divisions, more than 250,000 men. The Japanese Army believed that it was enough to withstand the attack of the Imperial Army.

The First Army of the Japanese Army on the island of Kyushu has the 6th, 11th and 18th Divisions, and the commander is General Kojiro Uchiyama. The Second Army on Kyushu Island has the 9th, 12th, and 20th Divisions under its command, and its commander is General Mitsutomi Kamio. Among them, the First Army was stationed in the western part of Kyushu Island and was the main force to resist the landing of the Imperial Army on Kyushu Island, while the Second Army was responsible for defending the southern and eastern parts of Kyushu Island. As for the northern part of Kyushu Island, which faces the Seto Inland Sea, it is not so easy to be attacked by the Imperial Army.

Admiral Uchiyama Kojiro placed the headquarters of the First Army on the island of Kyushu in Kurume, which was far from the coast and would not be shelled by the Imperial Navy, and it was relatively safe. He deployed the 6th Division, the most elite Division, to Fukuoka, and the 11th Division to Kitakyushu. The 18th Division, with the exception of one brigade, which was deployed in Sasebo, remained in Kurume and was used as a reserve. Even so, General Kojiro Uchiyama thought that his troops were too small, and once they were attacked by the Chinese Army, it was very likely that they would not be able to resist it. Therefore, he repeatedly sent telegrams to the War Office requesting more troops. Especially heavy artillery units, which are definitely the main equipment for preventing the landing of the Chinese army.

With the support of Britain and the United States, the Japanese army was equipped with a large number of heavy artillery. Six independent heavy artillery brigades and regiments were specially formed. The United States has six heavy artillery brigades under its jurisdiction and a total of 108 155mm heavy howitzers. It's just that at present, on Kyushu Island, there is no heavy artillery brigade in total. The Japanese Navy is planning to help the Army by transporting the Independent Second Heavy Artillery Brigade to Kyushu Island. But. Although the Seto Inland Sea is under the control of Japan. However, the submarines of the Chinese Navy are always at hand. If a transport ship carrying heavy artillery is hit by a submarine of the Chinese Navy, the losses will be great. With Japan and the Chinese navy blockading, they simply could not get support from Britain and the United States. For such valuable equipment as heavy artillery, it is natural to save a little is a little!

On the morning of August 26, 4621 in the Yellow Emperor Era, the port of Busan, it was just dawn. More than 18,000 officers and men of the 1st Marine Division of the Imperial Marine Corps have begun to board the ship. Twenty transports from the Imperial Navy were to send the 1st Marine Division and their equipment to Fukuoka on the other side of the Tsushima Strait. These transport ships. It can maintain a cruising speed of more than 15 knots, and it only takes less than two hours to get from the port of Busan to Fukuoka.

Marshal Shi Deshan and Admiral Shi Qingshan stood on a building on the edge of the harbor and watched the 1st Marine Division boarding the ship, and their hearts were also very emotional.

"Brother, after so many years, we have never thought about it. One day, they were able to launch a landing operation against Japan. The country that used to be so powerful that it could pinch us to death at any time. Now that it is on the verge of extinction. Admiral Shi Qingshan said with emotion.

"Yes! Who would have thought? In just over a decade, we have developed to this point. Your Majesty is really far-sighted! When we were still weak, he dared to go to war with the Japanese. In the world, everyone is sweating in their hearts! Now it seems that it was the defeat of Little Japan that made us no longer afraid of them! Marshal Shi Deshan said.

Marshal Shi Deshan and Admiral Shi Qingshan. The two are brothers, and they are the uncle of Emperor Wu Haoxuan, and they are also the generals of the army that started at the beginning. No one expected that the empire would be able to develop to this point in a short period of time.

"Brother. I heard that His Majesty is willing to appoint you as Governor in Japan? Admiral Shi Qingshan said.

"Hmmm! The Empire's defeat of Japan by force was only the first step. In order to completely tame Japan, it is necessary to adopt a high-pressure policy in Japan. His Majesty said that the Japanese worship the strong, and the more they kill them, the more they are in awe and the more they dare not harbor ill intentions. If you treat them well, they will think you are a bully. So, Your Majesty is obviously preparing me to go on a killing spree in Japan. As His Majesty's courtier, of course I don't mind being a knife in His Majesty's hands. So what does it matter if you are killed in Japan with a river of blood and are accused of being a butcher? Marshal Shi Deshan said indifferently.

"These Japanese are really psychologically perverted!" Admiral Shi Qingshan said.

"Actually, Japanese people have always been like this. Historically, when China was strong, the Japanese were all subordinate to us. But as soon as China weakened or fell into division, these Japanese suddenly became the most ferocious wolves. Therefore, if we want to completely subdue Japan, we have to beat them up and kill them. Your Majesty has specifically explained that after landing in Japan, we may encounter attacks from all sides, not only the Japanese army will attack us, but even those civilians will attack us. Therefore, after landing in Japan, you need to pay special attention. When necessary, all crises can be strangled in the cradle. Marshal Shi Deshan said.

Admiral Shi Qingshan nodded: "I will explain it." The lives of the soldiers of the empire are much more precious than those of small Japan. If they don't know what to do and dare to take the initiative to attack us, whether they are civilians or soldiers, there is only one way to die. ”

The Japanese also tried in vain to defeat the Imperial Army by means of a general war, and they did not expect that the Imperial Army had been guarding against them for a long time. As a person who was reborn, Emperor Wu Haoxuan knew how crazy the Japanese were. Therefore, after the Imperial Army landed in Japan, it was absolutely not able to show mercy. Otherwise, it is completely irresponsible for the safety of one's own life.

Wu Haoxuan also specifically mentioned this issue to the generals who participated in the war against Japan, and asked them to pay special attention.

Before six o'clock in the morning, the 1st Division of the Imperial Marine Corps had already completed boarding. Escorted by two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and six destroyers of the Navy, they began to leave the port of Pusan and sailed towards the opposite island of Kyushu.

At 7 a.m., it was already dark. Off Gen Beach in Fukuoka, the Imperial Navy's battleships Yao and Shun had arrived here with four heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, and six destroyers. Vice Admiral Li Dingxin, chief of staff of the Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet, boarded the battleship 'Yao' overnight and was responsible for directing the firepower strike.

According to the plan of the Imperial Army, Gen Beach in Fukuoka will become the focus of the Imperial Marines' beach-rushing landing this time. Although, there are no large piers here. However, it was also the weakest point of the Japanese defenses. As for the port area of Fukuoka, it was not only the most heavily guarded area by the Japanese, but the Japanese planted explosives on the docks in order to prevent the Imperial Army from using those ports. If they are unable to hold the port, they will immediately detonate the explosives and blow up the entire port. In that case, the Imperial Marines who landed in the harbor would be in danger. Therefore, the 1st Division of the Imperial Marine Corps simply chose to land on Xuan Beach. After landing here, they attacked Fukuoka and captured Fukuoka in one fell swoop after defeating the 6th Division of the Japanese Army stationed here. After that, the explosives planted by the Japanese in the port were gradually eliminated. If you're lucky, you can take over almost the entire Minato area. Even if you are a little unlucky, the Japanese blew up Minato-ku. The engineers of the 1st Army of the Imperial Army were also able to repair the two docks in the shortest possible time, and they were also able to basically meet the needs of the Imperial Army. After the docks were gradually repaired, Fukuoka would become the bridgehead of the Imperial Army on the island of Kyushu.

When the warships of the Chinese Navy appeared in the open sea, they attracted the attention of the Japanese Army stationed at Xuan Beach. The focus of the defense of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was on the city of Fukuoka, in the direction of Genki, and there was only one brigade of troops. When they saw the warships on the sea, their faces were as frightened as earth.

"Your Excellency, there are a large number of warships of the Shina people on the sea, they are very likely to attack Xuan Beach, we need reinforcements!" Koji Ogawa, the Khan of Mantou reported to the commander of the 45th Wing, Toraki Miyazaki.

"What? The warship of the Shina people appeared on Gen Beach? How is that possible? After receiving the call, Miyazaki Toraki Osaku was also surprised.

"Your Excellency, this is true! The warship of the people of China is striking at the hull, and they are about to open fire! Koji Ogawa said quickly.

"Bastard! You first find a way to hold on, and I will report to His Excellency the division commander immediately. Miyazaki Toraki Nakasa also knew the urgency of the matter, and immediately called the division headquarters and reported the news to the division commander, Lieutenant General Yuzuhara Wanzo.

When Lieutenant General Yuzuhara Wanzo learned of this, he immediately ordered the Sixth Division to enter the highest state of combat readiness, and at the same time reported to the commander of Kurume's First Army, General Uchiyama Kojiro. He knew very well that if the Chinese* army attacked Fukuoka with all its might, the Sixth Division alone would not be able to resist it at all. (To be continued.) )
