Shanghai is already busy in the early morning, and the Chinese district, which was dirty and messy just a few years ago, is becoming more and more prosperous. On the contrary, after the previous huge concession area was automatically or forcibly revoked by Germany, Japan and Russia, the concession area has been greatly reduced. After the loss of the concession, the Japanese consulate moved into the public concession, and like the British Empire, Japan was reluctant to move the consulate general to Nanjing, as if it wanted to follow its allies in this way. In front of the consulate, several students were sneaky, and when they saw them from afar, the Indian patrol immediately whistled to warn.

A few big-character posters and slogans have been pasted on the wall, and there are still scolds and anger that cannot be erased by writing with a brush.

The Japanese ambassador to China, Yukichi Kohata, stood at the window, silently watching the soldiers protecting the consulate to interfere. The special Sino-Japanese relations established by Ito Hirobumi and other Japanese people with lofty ideals after the Treaty of Shimonoseki have disappeared after the last Sino-Japanese war, and the hostile acts between the people of the two countries have become more and more. After the conflict in the Yellow Sea, the hatred of Japan in the hearts of ordinary Chinese was ignited again, and the newspaper commentaries were criticized and threatened to drown the Japanese island.

In just a few days, his sideburns in his forties have turned a lot whiter.

What's going on? Since 1911, there seems to have been an invisible but ever-expanding vortex in the Far East. Conflicts, insults, confrontations, and belligerencies between China and Japan have been mutually relentless, and countless lives and young people have been involved. It took twenty years. The agents and pro-Japanese factions in China, who had spent a lot of money to deploy and support, were almost completely swept away, and Sun Yat-sen's supported politicians were also directly kicked out of the country and have not dared to come back so far. Young Chinese are becoming more and more confident, and the number of international students studying in Japan has dropped to single digits in the past three years! Instead, they turned to the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, which were more distant, and the slogan of comprehensively learning Japan became "Learn from Western Europe and surpass Japan."

And all of this is related to that tall figure that even needs to be looked up.

He unified China and implemented a nine-year free education for all. Promote national infrastructure, accelerate the industrialization revolution, reform social and land policies, and improve the national tax system. Achieving the separation of the legislature from the executive, turning the army that had no fighting spirit twenty years ago into a powerful army that even Europe did not dare to defeat lightly! A lot of things aren't really too big to look at in isolation, but when you put them all together, you can find out. He is gradually laying the foundations of modern China!! Therefore, the Americans called him the "Washington of the East", France praised him as the world's greatest democratic leader, Germany once regarded him as the best partner of the East, and even the British Empire, which was stingy and praised, called it "a pioneer with the spirit of Nelson." ”

Even the conservative House of Commons opened its doors to parliament for the first time last month, welcoming the National Socialist Youth Association president Chen Guofu and finance minister Zhang Wenjing to visit Britain and publicly praising them as the best of China's young generation. How is this done? Many scholars have repeatedly investigated the reasons for this, but in the opinion of veteran diplomats such as Yukichi Kohata. Everything was very, very simple.

Military victory and the strategy of actively moving closer to Europe.

Overwhelming superiority over the North Seas! Victory over Japan! Take the initiative to go to Europe to participate in the world's largest war, and start the strategy of going out with a major army battle that is regarded as a classic by all countries, simply abide by Western systems and rules before they have the ability to make rules, attach importance to the spirit of contract in the West, and openly promise in the US Congress! Then there is the tide of studying abroad that is followed by the army. Going out and integrating commercial trade. When these come together, it becomes a surging tide from top to bottom! As a politician who has studied China for many years, he knows very well that this country has a kind of imitation effect, which can be said to be a comparison effect if it is directly pointed out. When the top group led by Yang Qiu decisively abandoned Japan and turned to Europe and promoted an active Western European policy, those scholars, industrial and commercial landlords, gentry and even nouveau riche would directly ignore their neighbors and turn to Europe. Now there is even such a saying in Chinese folklore. If you send your child to study in Nanyang, it will be considered a dumpling. Sending it to Japan is considered to be harmful to the child, and only after sending it to Europe and the United States to study and return to China is it a superior person and an elite. So last year alone, more than 10,000 students were sent by the state and their parents to study in the United States, France and other countries for further study, and tens of thousands of Europeans were invited back to work as teachers and technical experts.

Amaterasu is on top, and Japan, which has been studying Europe for more than 30 years, has been very perfect in many aspects, especially in terms of industry, science and technology, etc., which are better than the current China, and the Nagato-class battleships are comparable to the super battleships of Britain and the United States.

Ay.

In the midst of a secret sigh, footsteps sounded behind him, and he turned his head to see that Foreign Minister Nobuaki Makino, who arrived last night, had already gotten up, bent down and bowed: "Good morning, Your Excellency Foreign Minister." "You're welcome, Kohata-kun, is the ship ready?" Nobuaki Makino no longer had the heart to continue this kind of officialdom politeness, and asked, "Is there an update on the situation?" ”

"The Naval Striker has already reached the Taiwan Strait last night and sank 3 minelayers and 1 destroyer on the periphery. Vice Admiral Kantaro Suzuki's fleet has also reached the waters off Arthur and sunk six Chinese minelayers and destroyers, and three destroyers have also been sunk by submarines and destroyers outside Incheon. Kohata Yukichi handed him the newspaper: "This is this morning's newspaper." Judging from the news released by China, their navy is at a disadvantage, and many coastal cities have begun to evacuate, and they should be very worried about coastal safety. ”

Kohata Yukichi took the clothes from the embassy staff and said as he put them on, "I think it's a good thing, at least they can't fight our country in the navy, so we can force them to sit down and negotiate as soon as possible." ”

It was indeed a good thing that the naval superiority was obvious, but Makino Nobuaki did not dare to relax and asked, "Is there a reply from Nanjing?" Did the Americans have contact? ”

"The government of China does not yet have any intention of talks. I think they are waiting for Yang Qiu's opinion. I'm afraid I won't see you until he returns. "I went to visit the U.S. Consul yesterday, but the staff told me that Ambassador Reinsch had left for Tianjin and was expected to return in three days. In addition, they replied to China on the lease of battleships, saying that we and China have not declared war at present, that they have not violated international law by doing so, and that they have refused to stop the negotiations on the Lend-Lease contract and the sale of four new battleships. The French likewise rejected our demands, saying that the sale of battleships was a matter for both France and China. The Normandy-class battleships were armed with only 340mm naval guns, which were much smaller than the Nagato-class of our country, and would not disrupt the strategic balance in the Far East. ”

The car sped towards the docks. These news from Kohata Yukichi made Makino Shinken feel stressed, and he slowly closed his eyes and asked, "Kohata-kun, why do you say this?" Had I been abandoned to the Great Japanese Empire? Why are both the United States and France directed at us? ”

Kohata Yukichi saw him close his eyes and ponder. Think about it and say, "I think there's a lot of reasons for that. First of all, Yang Qiu's policy of actively moving westward, he gave up some interests and took the initiative to reach out to Europe, and was willing to handle international affairs according to the rules they had formulated, as can be seen from his active sending troops to fight the poor party. Secondly, China is different from China, their industry has just begun, there are many resources, a large population, if developed according to China's standards, there are hundreds of billions of dollars in business opportunities. This huge profit cannot be separated from Europe, which is weak after the war and urgently needs to be rebuilt, so the value of China is now higher than that of Japan. Thirdly, I think so. Kohata Yukichi stopped at this point, as if there was something unspeakable. After a while, I mustered up the courage: "I am afraid that this has something to do with my country's colonial policy." In fact, some of the areas that Yang Qiu has occupied so far are the territories that China lost before then, and he also gave up his demands for colonies and reparations at the Paris Peace Conference, leaving the impression that Europe would not expand outward, so he looked more docile to Europe and the United States. ”

Since he said that, Kohata Yukichi simply continued: "Shina has a long northwest and northern border. Once the Russian civil war is over, their land pressure will be dozens of times greater, so both Europe and the United States feel that they have no possibility of expanding to East Indochina and the Pacific in the short term. Europe's support for Yang Qiu's recovery of the northwest actually hoped that he would have a long-term confrontation with the poor party, so as to reduce the spread of red ideas in Europe, which was a plan to lead the water to the east. Compared to China, which has a clear goal, our country has lost the mainland. The United States began to worry about our development to the sea, so. ”

"These damn ghost beasts! Fifty million people of the empire need living space, do they even have to deprive them of this?! ”

Kohata Yukichi also sighed helplessly: "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, since they are ghost animals, of course they will not have any good intentions. In the past, they supported our country in the hope of curbing Russia's expansion, and now they support Yang Qiu, but also because they see the contradictions between China and Russia that can no longer be resolved, they try to make them confront the north for a long time and relieve the pressure on Europe. Of course, neither the United States nor France can really interfere with our decision, and I am most worried about our allies, what they are thinking about in this conflict. I am very concerned that Yang Qiu's military campaign in the northwest is aimed at attacking the poor party and threatening India, and I am worried that our allies will eventually compromise and agree to sign a long-term peace treaty in the northwest. ”

Yukichi Kohata is one of Japan's leading diplomats, and it is reasonable to say that the British Empire is indeed the key to this conflict, and what role they play will directly affect the outcome. However, compared with Kohata Yukichi's analysis of international diplomacy, Nobuaki Makino is worried about another thing: "What Kohata-kun said is very good. But there's one thing you overlook, there's a lot of pressure in Europe, but they're not really going to send troops to intervene, and the prime minister and I are most worried about the country. ”

"Domestic?" When Kohata Yukichi raised his eyelids in confusion, Makino Shin took a strong breath and sat up straight: "The last war was because my country was underprepared, but in the past five years, both the army and the navy have been actively preparing, on the surface they look weak but they will never be caught off guard again, as long as the navy can encircle the island of Taiwan as soon as possible, we will have the capital for peace talks!" But until then, I'm worried that there will be problems at home. ”

Nobuaki Makino said this, as if he didn't want to say any more, pushed open the door and walked out of the car to the clipper waiting on the shore, and asked, "When will Yang Qiu come back?" ”

Yukichi Kohata is wondering what will happen in the country. He was stunned and chased after him and said: "Yesterday morning, he visited the university and hospital in Xuzhou, and also met with some officials and generals, and is expected to return to Nanjing this evening." ”

"Let's go as soon as possible."

Soon after Nobuaki Makino got on the boat, the clipper roared and sailed up the river towards Nanjing, and in the cabin he closed his eyes tightly, making Kohata Yukichi unconsciously recall what he had just said. Domestic? What could go wrong at home?

At the same time that Makino Shinxian and the others took a boat to Nanjing, Yang Qiu's special train had also sailed through Hefei.

In addition to him and Tang Shaoyi in the carriage. There were also a few extra chairs and a wheelchair.

Chen Haohui sat in a wheelchair with a thick blanket on his legs, while Fang Rui sat next to him. These two intelligence officers, who went to the southwest together to carry out missions, are now the pillars of the secret front of the Republic of China. Coupled with the publicity of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the three of them worked together to prop up the national intelligence network. Dai Chunfeng stood behind a wheelchair, this was the first time he had seen Yang Qiu. I saw that he was sitting on the desk and giving instructions on what documents, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes he was quietly discussing with Tang Shaoyi, and there was an officer sitting on the stool behind him with a look of Mu Na and a bag on his knees, and his hand had never left the bag since he saw it, and he didn't say anything.

He was very curious about what was in the officer's bag, but when he saw Chen Haohui, he didn't dare to look at it and quickly looked away.

"Vice President, Prime Minister. This is Dai Chunfeng, my student. Chen Haohui introduced the students to Yang Qiu and Tang Shaoyi, but he didn't notice that the tip of the former's pen was slightly paused. No one paid attention to this small movement. Yang Qiu raised his head and glanced at Dai Chunfeng, and saw that he was actually wearing the badge of the YMCA on his chest, and nodded with a smile: "Very good, learn more from your teacher." ”

"Yes." To see Yang Qiu and Tang Shaoyi, Dai Chunfeng couldn't be happier. It wasn't until Chen Haohui asked him to leave first that he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly avoided the back carriage with Lei Meng and other guards.

After he left, Yang Qiu withdrew his gaze. He found that he was really integrated into the world, and no matter how famous a person suddenly appeared, it was difficult to feel amazed or heartbeat, which showed that he had integrated into this history, and every move would have a significant impact on history. After ending the momentary understanding, he turned his head and asked Chen Haohui: "Is that little girl in Bihui okay?" "I don't know why. Yang Qiu never forgot Jin Bihui's little girl, so every time he saw Chen Haohui, he would unconsciously ask a few questions. The latter didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that it was concern, and said: "Thank you Vice President for your concern, I arranged for her to study at Nanjing Girls' Middle School." ”

Let's hope knowledge can change her life. Yang Qiu muttered to himself in his heart before turning back to work and asking, "Is Japan ready?" ”

"Japan?" Tang Shaoyi was a little puzzled, although he knew that the intelligence department had carried out a lot of work against Japan, but it was still a little inexplicable to suddenly mention this topic, and asked: "Chenhua, what does Japan have?" ”

Yang Qiu slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Look at me, I forgot to tell you." ”

With his words, Tang Shaoyi gradually understood. Although Chen Haohui returned to China after the end of the lurk, the lurking against Japan did not end, but because he controlled the Koreans such as Jin Jiu, he arranged to plant many spies again through North Korea and his side. These people are mainly responsible for gathering various types of civilian and military intelligence, and some of them were activated after the Yellow Sea conflict and thrown into the competition for Asian dominance.

Last time, Chen Haohui's actions could be called classic intelligence tactics, so Tang Shaoyi was also very curious about the work of the intelligence department after a general understanding, and asked: "So, Chen Hua is preparing to launch intelligence agents to sabotage the Japanese rear?" ”

Chen Haohui smiled: "The prime minister thinks of us too much, after the 510 incident, the Japanese Ministry of Intelligence suspected that we were the master, so he invited Fukushima Yasumasa, who was idle at home, and the efficiency of Japanese intelligence increased a lot through his kneading, and this time we used the opportunity to transport precious metals to capture hundreds of lurking and bribed people, several of whom are still local leaders." ”

"So what are you going to do this time?" Tang Shaoyi asked.

Fang Rui took out a thick stack of materials, handed it to Tang Shaoyi and said: "This is some of the basic situation in Japan in recent years, Prime Minister, take a look, do you find anything strange?" ”

Tang Shaoyi took the information and praised the intelligence department while reading it. There is nothing special about this information, and it mainly records people's livelihood issues, but the details of the content are almost like the Japanese government's own statistics. Judging from the data, the phenomenon of feudal oppression in Japan is extremely serious, especially the harshness of the chaebols and landlords is several times more severe than that of the Republic of China. For example, on the land issue, more than half of the Japanese peasants are landless. This percentage is much higher than in China before 1911. The fact that the rich have no place to stand and the poor have no place to stand has become a sharp contradiction in the class antagonism in Japan's rural areas. When Japanese landlords collected land rent from peasants, they also adopted the most backward form of rent in kind. Regardless of whether the harvest is good or bad, the peasants have to hand over half or even 70 percent of the annual harvest to the landlords. In addition, because Japan does not pay attention to it or lacks technology, there is not a single fertilizer factory in the whole country, but Hanyang has been painstakingly researching localization since 1912, when it switched to ammonia synthesis technology from Germany. And in 1917, the first set of domestic 500,000-ton synthetic ammonia equipment was built for the first time. As of last year, the number of fertilizer factories in the country has increased to 7, and the annual fertilizer output has reached 3 million tons. The number of tractors of all types has also increased from 7 in 1911 to 6,500 today. However, Japan has only a pitiful 172 vehicles, and it is precisely because of lack of attention or backward technology that Japan's agricultural productivity cannot be developed. Especially after the loss of Northeast China, the country's severe food shortage has made the people struggle with hunger for a long time.

After the outbreak of the European War, the demand for goods in Europe reached astronomical levels, and although Japan suffered from a shortage of raw materials, the OEM and shipbuilding industries benefited greatly from the support of the British, and the number of workers increased from 800,000 in 1911 to 1.1 million at present, and the factory chaebols also made a lot of money. But this kind of wealth is also very hard to earn, because of the thin profits of the OEM processing itself, so the factory squeezes the workers to the extreme! In order to retain workers, factory owners even resorted to slave labor and contract labor. That is, after the workers are tricked, they are forbidden to leave after closing the door, and they work overtime day and night to take turns to rest. The oppression of peasants and workers has caused a very big problem in the social structure of Japan, but it has not yet exploded when it is suppressed.

After reading the information, Tang Shaoyi also felt shocked. Not only him, but how many people really know Japan at this moment? Behind the bright coat of the Nagato-class battleships were millions of workers and peasants who had been crushed! Still, he was a little strange. Although it is said that the contradictions in Japan are very serious, the influence of the Japanese emperor in the country is very large, the zaebol politics is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the unity of the nation and the long-term enslavement have become a habit, so it is still very difficult to destroy it from the outside.

However, Chen Haohui and Fang Rui were obviously confident, and the latter pointed to a set of data and reminded: "Prime Minister look here." This is a data on the wages of Japanese workers. Workers in Japan generally work 12 to 14 hours, which is higher than the 10 hours in Japan. However, the wages are very meager, taking last year's textile workers as an example, the daily wage of female workers was only 4 jiao 8 cents, and the daily wage of male workers was only 9 jiao 2 cents, and 2 percent of the wages had to be deducted by various punishments. ”

After Tang Shaoyi pinched her fingers and finished counting, she said suspiciously: "The female worker has 4 jiao and 8 minutes a day, and it is 14 yen in a month, and it is 11 yen after deducting 2 percent." The last time the yen depreciated after the war, according to the exchange rate, it was about 10 yuan in our country, isn't this about the same as some of our factories? ”

Yang Qiu couldn't help laughing: "It's true that it's similar to my country's private factories, but there's one thing you forgot, Prime Minister." Japanese workers work 14 hours a day, but Japan has enacted a maximum 10-hour work day. In addition, the most important point is that the current price of rice in China is 1 dime per liter of rice, and in Japan it is 4 dimes per liter! In other words, if you eat poorly, a female worker in my country can feed four people a day, while Japan can only buy one liter of rice! Just enough to feed yourself. ”

Fang Rui said: "According to the scale of this Japanese combined fleet sortie, at least 300,000 tons of Welsh white coal will be consumed!" 100,000 tons of heavy oil! But as of last year, Japan had only 200,000 tons of oil reserves and less than 500,000 tons of white coal, so they will face a shortage of fuel in two months. The army is uncomfortable, and if it wants to hold North Korea and Taiwan at the same time, it needs to mobilize at least another 300,000 troops, so that the number of soldiers who need to be fed is at least about 800,000! Based on this ratio, we believe that the price of rice in Japan is likely to skyrocket to 6 jiao or even 1 yuan per liter in the near future! ”

Hiss!

As soon as Chen Haohui finished speaking, Tang Shaoyi gasped. If the price of rice skyrockets to 6 dimes, I'm afraid that many people in Japan will not even be able to eat! If it rises to 1 yuan, it will almost kill Japan. Seeing this, Fang Rui didn't have any expression, and said lightly: "Bai Yutang has already set off with a submarine, Wu Rui is there in Jinjiu, what we have to do now is to spend a period of time temporarily, and the pressure in Japan will amplify after a long time." When the time comes, it will be able to incite the Koreans in Japan to make a mess of the price of rice under the pretext of rice prices. We predict that if all goes well, the food problem will sweep across Japan in a short period of time. ”

"Good! It's a good idea! Tang Shaoyi slapped her thigh and laughed: "I was still thinking that I might not be able to finish the fight in three months in this weather now, but with this method, I can save a lot." As long as there is a food shortage in Japan and a riot, their front-line soldiers will definitely have no intention of fighting again. I'd like to see what other differences between Nobuaki Makino and Prime Minister Tanaka are. ”

"Nope! The Prime Minister is wrong, and this time we are not just trying to relieve the pressure on the front. Chen Haohui glanced at Yang Qiu, who was smiling with a teacup, and then looked at Tang Shaoyi, who was stunned. The corners of his mouth slowly hooked: "The ultimate goal is to establish the reputation of Cheng Cheng Teacher among Japanese farmers." ”

"Cheng Cheng? Cheng Cheng Act! Tang Shaoyi jumped up, and his gaze at Yang Qiu also changed: "Chenhua, are you going to export the National Society to Japan?" ”

"I made a promise to Bernard and the British government. We don't need colonies and we don't need outward expansion, but political parties have no borders. Yang Qiu nodded, staring at Tang Shaoyi's gaze deep and distant, and slowly put the teacup on the table.

Thundered.

While the teacup was steady, the long-standing depression and silence over Guseong in North Pyongan Province, North Korea, were finally broken. The 8 M1917 French Schneider 155mm howitzers and 24 domestically produced 155mm field howitzers from the 26th Brigade Artillery Regiment of the 1917 Infantry Division sounded the prelude to the Wehrmacht's offensive against Korea.

After the reunion of the old rival after five years, it is a completely asymmetrical firepower intensity.

Yang Qiu, who was born in the army, was at a loss in the navy, but he never relaxed in army construction. After four years of fighting in Europe and swallowing up the whales at the Paris Peace Conference, the Wehrmacht finally completed the transformation of its artillery establishment, and the whole army officially eliminated the calibers of 57mm, 75mm, and 122mm in addition to fixed defense points and reserves, and 70mm infantry guns and 60mm mortars became battalion and company level firepower. 80mm, 120mm mortars and 85mm howitzers under development have become brigade-level firepower, while divisional firepower is composed of 160mm mortars and 105mm, 155mm (and some 150mm exist) howitzers, and the army's 114 brigade-affiliated artillery regiments, 66 division-level cannon heavy artillery regiments (long-range cannons), 20 independent artillery regiments (fortress or mobile), and 24 railway artillery battalions have also been completed at the beginning of the year.

The explosion ripped open the ice and rolled up snowflakes. The frozen ground can't stand up to the shells. In particular, the 155mm heavy gun is even more powerful, and every time it falls, it can smash a large crater. The Wehrmacht gunners, who had been tested by the artillery of the Western Front, made the enemy tremble with European-style artillery squeezing tactics. The artillery crushed the Japanese troops in the icy mud and could not raise their heads, and before they could survive the artillery fire, 14 T1 (FT-17 tanks from World War I) from the 1st Brigade appeared in view with black smoke spewing black smoke.

"Keep up and watch your footsteps! Hide in the tank bomb dodge zone and do not leave. Left and right, beware of ambushes left and right! Do not let the enemy get 50 meters close to the tank! ”

Behind the tank, Du Zishan wore a helmet. Wearing a crisp white camouflage cloak, holding aloft his beloved American-made M1912 shotgun, he kept shouting to remind the soldiers to pay attention to the formation, and the occasional armband revealed told everyone that he was now a company commander. This veteran who fought in the bloody rain of the Western Front for two years, participated in the 100-day offensive and the "Rainy Vale Dragon" campaign that shocked the world, and won the French Honorary Knight Legion of Honor, the Wehrmacht Army Order of the Second Class, and the European War Veteran Medal with his comrades.

Because of his outstanding achievements, he was assigned to the 1st Division of the Wehrmacht, and because of his familiarity with armored infantry tactics, he was assigned to the 1st Armored Brigade and became a company commander of the 13th Armored Infantry Regiment. The cold weather was full of ice slag, and he felt as if he had returned to the brutal Western Front, and the explosions, flames, and shuttled bullets not only did not frighten them as veterans, but rather had this indescribable excitement.

The 14 12.7 fanged heavy machine guns on the tank were rampant, and the Japanese soldiers who lacked heavy equipment could only use their rifles to punch countless white spots on the tank in vain, and then watch as they continued to get closer. Dozens of Japanese soldiers formed a death squad, holding grenades and preparing to carry out a meat bomb assault, but before they could break out of the position, they were killed by the infantry following behind the tank. When the tank company finally arrived at the position not far away, Du Zishan led everyone to rush out of the bomb avoidance area, bowing his head and bending over like a hungry wolf to flicker and move forward to attack. "Kill him, kill him!" A Japanese commander pointed at him and ordered to shoot, and the white cloak that blended with the snow was difficult for even veterans to catch the target, and the Japanese army would be hit by tank machine gun fire as soon as it appeared.

Du Zishan rushed into the Japanese trench with a roll, and the shotgun in his hand didn't want to shoot left and right first. Horribly, the large deer bullets scattered and plunged directly into the bodies of several Japanese soldiers who rushed up, and they were covered in blood before they could even let out the howls that the nations were known for. As more and more comrades rushed into the position and spread to the left and right, the Japanese could not stop the rapid fire composed of shotguns and submachine guns, so they had to abandon this hilltop position and retreat into the city.

Looking at the retreating Japanese army, Du Zishan scratched his head vigorously.

Why does it seem that the Japanese army has become weaker?

It was not the Japanese army that weakened, but the Wehrmacht itself completely changed. From dozens of small cannons when the army was founded in 1911 to today's aircraft, artillery, tanks, light and heavy machine guns and other weapons, most of the backbone veterans and officers have also experienced the most brutal European war training, and have really grown up. On the contrary, although the Japanese army also absorbed a lot of lessons and lessons from the Sino-Japanese War, after the navy swallowed up too much military spending, it was completely unable to catch up with the revolutionary trend of the army, which was composed of armored and artillery, and the impression of the Wehrmacht was still five years ago.

At the same time as Turtle City, Xuanchuan was also launched. In order to open up the situation as soon as possible, Qin Zhangshu, commander of the Korean Front, hit tofu with a heavy hammer as soon as he made a move, not to mention using two heavy brigades, he also brought an armored company and a heavy artillery regiment under the division to storm the two places with lightning speed. It took only six hours for the two fronts of the Japanese army to be broken, and the main force of 150,000 National Defense Forces, 60,000 Korean Independence Army, and more than 50,000 Korean civilians who had been on standby in Andong and Sinuiju for a long time were like wolves breaking through the fence.

The song was loud: "Heroic and high-spirited, across the Yalu River." ”…… (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
