Chapter 620: Japanese Counterattack

It's not like it's not, not to mention that the distance between this fake "Fan Ye" and the real "Fan Ye" is too far, so it is naturally impossible to deceive Qin Wei, on the contrary, after being mixed up in the high-level of the Republic of China for so long, Qin Wei also took advantage of the other party's "ignorance" and successfully found out his origin...... Kang Ze, who has replaced Dai Li, has become the actual helmsman of the military command! And from this, Qin Wei also understood that Lao Jiang's patience with himself was probably exhausted, and he had never been able to find a way to contact and understand the "hacker", so he decided to take the risk of using this way to determine whether the "hacker" really had such mysterious power. He can also be sure that if Lao Jiang is sure that the "hackers" do not have much actual deterrent, he will definitely attack himself, and at that time, even if he can get away with it, he will definitely have a relatively ugly end.

In desperation, Qin Wei could only speed up the execution of his plan again. He contacted He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Bai Zhengxi, and some other influential figures, took the initiative to find Lao Chiang, and proposed a plan to directly attack the Japanese mainland and make a forced landing on Japan. Although Lao Chiang was unwilling to grant him military power again, he could not resist the temptation to defeat Japan, and those warlords and local factions in the country were not willing to let this war continue, so that Lao Chiang continued to find opportunities to weaken them, and also gave him greater pressure, so after a period of consideration, Lao Chiang agreed that Chen Cheng would be the commander-in-chief, Qin Wei would be the deputy commander-in-chief, and Bai Zhengxi would form a new expeditionary force as the chief of the general staff to attack the Japanese mainland.

Appoint, and the battle began quickly.

Qin Wei ordered the air force to transfer the field, intending to bomb Japan with the help of Vladivostok, which the CCP had just occupied. The Japanese side was terrified. Air force units composed of German fighters were hurriedly dispatched from Taiwan and other places to deploy defenses, but at this moment, Dai Li's navy took the lead. Gather a large number of warships to form an escort fleet to cover the Nationalist army's launch of a beach-grabbing campaign against Taiwan. Zhang Lingfu's unit served as the vanguard, and with the help of landing craft supported by Britain and the United States, and under the cover of dozens of cloud burst bombs of the air force, it took less than half a day to easily break through the Japanese coastal defenses and attack Taiwan.

The Japanese side knew that Lu Dao was deceived. But in the face of a large number of bombers in Vladivostok, they could only admit it for the time being, and began to desperately deploy defense on the mainland. At the same time, Hirohito also ordered Isoroku Yamamoto to transfer back to the navy to protect the mainland. However, just when the war between China and Japan was about to really begin, Hirohito received news from the navy: the combined fleet could not return to the mainland in a short time! Reason: The US Pacific Fleet was formed again. And has already set its sights on Hawaii. There is a tendency to retake Pearl Harbor. That is, the Americans dragged the Japanese navy for the Chinese.

When the Japanese government learned of this, it was once again alarmed. Hirohito ordered Germany and Italy to be contacted, hoping that Germany and Italy would organize an offensive to contain the Americans' energies in order to remove the threat to Japan. But Germany and Italy are also powerless at this time. Although the Soviet Union was defeated and most of the resources and industries of the Soviet Union were obtained, these industries were greatly beneficial to the army. The bonus to the Navy is minimal. And at this time, because it has been in war mode for many years. The Americans have already built nearly 200 aircraft carriers alone, and now that the other side is suddenly exerting force, Germany and Italy will not be able to cope with it at all, and at most they can only support a few more new jet fighters to protect the airspace of the Japanese.

The performance of Germany and Italy greatly displeased Japan. In the eyes of the Japanese, when the Germans faced the great threat of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, it was they who first took Siberia despite the long distance, and shared the huge pressure of the Soviets for the Germans, and then they went on a long expedition to attack Egypt and India, and took the strategically important canal of Suez for Germany and Italy, and at the same time disrupted the strategic rear of Britain and greatly supported the German offensive on the front line. But now, they need the help of their European allies, who have hardly paid attention to them, leaving them alone to face pressure from both China and the United States.

However, no matter how dissatisfied the Japanese were, there was no real friendship between countries, and Germany and Italy were about to engage in a big war with Britain and the United States at this time, but in fact they were already making tremendous efforts, and it was impossible to strengthen much to contain the energy of the Americans...... The strength of the Americans is so strong, and they can support two battlefields at the same time, what can you do?

Hirohito and others were full of worries, and they were willing to transfer the Japanese troops scattered in various places back to the mainland to help defend themselves, but they were worried that it would make the territory that had been grabbed unstable, and they were very reluctant to give up those places. But at this time, something unexpected happened: the Chinese side asked for negotiations!

Qin Wei sent people to ask the Chinese troops hiding in Shanghai: Siberia in exchange for three months of peace.

This incident caused great consternation and at the same time great confusion among the Japanese. But they were reluctant to give up Siberia, even though Siberia was actually cut off from Japan because of the CCP's occupation of the Far East. Although it is vast and sparsely populated, it is rich in resources, and most importantly, it is more than 10 million square kilometers, the size of dozens of Japan...... How could the Japanese, who had lived on the island for thousands of years, have had enough of the limitations of this small land to give up such a large area of land? And in addition to these, Hirohito, Ishihara and others also have a trace of uneasiness in their hearts: the allies have now really begun to exert their strength, and obviously, the other party's strength is very strong, enough to compete with them. Moreover, the Chinese have already launched an attack on Taiwan, the offensive is fierce, the attack is rapid, and I believe that it will not take too long to completely take Taiwan. At that time, with Taiwan, the air base in the Ryukyus, and Vladivostok, the Japanese mainland will face the indiscriminate bombing of the Chinese Air Force...... Will Japan be defeated? And in the event of defeat, the territory they seized in Southeast Asia, as well as India and other places, is likely to be recaptured by the Allies. In that case, Japan would have wasted years of hard work and gained nothing...... Except for Siberia!

Siberia was the territory of the Soviets, and if it were not for the emergence of the Axis powers, the Soviet Union would have been the public enemy of the Western powers. Therefore, even if the Axis powers were defeated by then, the Soviet Union, which had already suffered a great loss of strength, would definitely become the target of the British and American attacks after the war. If Japan had behaved more aggressively, it would not have been able to own the whole of Siberia as it has now. It is not necessarily impossible to occupy a sufficiently large territory in Siberia.

Moreover, even if the Chinese are promised, the Chinese will keep their promises? That's Qin Wei. That's Chiang Kai-shek, not a good man.

Therefore, the Japanese side rejected China's request.

As a result, the Chinese Air Force began bombing the Japanese mainland from three directions. The Japanese side tried its best to resist. But it didn't take long for them to be sad, and the fighter force composed of the latest jet planes supported by the Germans was introduced into an ambush circle by Qin Wei with a large number of "B-29" super air fortresses and "hellcats", as well as the latest "Mustang" fighters. Heavy losses. And it was only at this time that the Japanese remembered that there were also German jet fighters Chinese...... At that time they were captured by the Chinese in Siam.

The new fighters suffered heavy losses, and the Chinese suddenly came up with dozens of German jet fighters. As well as the hundreds of "Mustang" fighters supported by the Americans, the Japanese who had barely maintained the air defense line suddenly became fragmented, and could no longer effectively block the bombing of the Chinese. As napalm bombs fell on the Japanese archipelago, which consisted mainly of wooden houses, the Japanese people began to weep. The Japanese government is also under increasing pressure.

Hirohito and others finally realized once again their limitations as an island nation. Empty is powerful. And the army, which is almost invincible outside, is unable to protect the homeland. Hirohito wanted to forcibly recall the Combined Fleet, which was blocking the Pacific Fleet, to defend Japan's territorial waters, but was blocked by Ishihara. Ishihara pointed out that even the return of the Navy did not have any effect. Because the Navy's aviation units have no way to face the Chinese's German jet fighters, and the Navy's shells can't hit the sky, they can't stop the Chinese's bombing at all. And if, in order to deal with the Chinese, the combined fleet is withdrawn from Hawaii and other places, then. The Americans will smoothly recapture a series of islands that they have so hard won. In that case, Japan itself will no longer face the Chinese. Rather, it will be a joint effort between China and the United States.

Hirohito was persuaded by Ishihara Waner, but he really didn't want to be nervous all day long by the Chinese bombardment, so after some calculations with his courtiers, he decided to withdraw the remaining Kwantung Army from Liaoning in exchange for a temporary halt from the Chinese.

This ploy of the Japanese was very vicious. Because they have been driven out of Heilongjiang and Jilin, and even many Kwantung Army have been captured by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, in the northeast, they are only left with Liaoning. And even in such a place, because of the CCP's intervention, most of the rural areas are not under their control, and they can currently keep them, that is, a few cities such as Shenyang and Lushun. It is conceivable that in time, the whole of Liaoning will be taken by the CCP, and even if they want to withdraw at that time, I am afraid they will not be able to withdraw. Therefore, they simply took advantage of the contradictions between Lao Chiang and the CCP to preemptively hand over these territories to the KMT, so that the KMT would fall into a struggle with the CCP, so as to disperse the pressure on themselves.

Of course, Qin Wei could see the viciousness of the Japanese's move, but he didn't have any way. Because the Japanese accurately grasped the key point of Lao Chiang, how could a person who thinks all day long that "if you go outside, you must first settle down at home", and a person who has a deep hatred for the Communist Party, how can he allow the CCP to calmly develop its own strength? So, the bald man was very happy. And in this way, before the national army began to enter the major cities of Liaoning, Lao Chiang ordered the Eighth Route Army to withdraw to Khalkha and not stay in the northeast. The national army began to create friction, and as Chen Yi and others raided and occupied Chita, seizing this city that has an important strategic position in Siberia and also has a certain industrial base, Lao Jiang and others also rapidly increased their efforts to create friction......

Lao Jiang's behavior was unanimously condemned by the whole country, but Lao Jiang didn't care at all. But he didn't expect that just as he was concentrating on the infighting, the Japanese were beginning to fight in full swing...... Yoshio Shinozuka in North China and Shunroku Hata in Shanghai are all preparing for a counteroffensive. Qin Wei told him this information, but unfortunately not only was he not taken seriously, but he was also scolded for nothing, and he was blasted out of the chairman's mansion at the very least, and was once again relieved of his post as deputy commander-in-chief of the new expeditionary force.

Then, Yoshio Shinozuka and Shunroku Hata suddenly commanded the army to launch a counteroffensive. In North China, Henan, Shanxi and other places were lost one after another, and Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo and others were caught off guard and lost consecutive battles; In central China, Hata Jun reconquered Nanjing within six and a half months......
