Chapter 377: It's a little unbearable

Lin Daxin looked at the battle report in his hand about the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese Northern Dispatch Army, and was a little happy, he did not expect that the armored division would take such a powerful group charge on the plains, annihilating more than 320,000 people of the Northern Dispatch Army of Japanese China, of which more than 110,000 were captured. There were so many prisoners that made the officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army feel a little strange, didn't the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau say that the Japanese Army was under the influence of bushido? Later, when the prisoners were interrogated, they realized that most of the prisoners were replenishers of the Japanese Army Reserve, and their brains had not been poisoned by the spirit of bushido, and their spirits were quite normal.

As for the original regular army veterans of the Japanese army, there are relatively few who are willing to surrender, and most of them are still stubbornly resisting to the end in a hopeless situation, especially the officers of the Japanese army, from the commander Oyama and below, except for those who died WWW.UUXS.CC in battle, most of them chose to commit suicide after the defeat, and the highest rank of the Japanese officers captured by the Dingbei Army was only Zhongzuo.

More than 450 artillery pieces and a large number of Japanese guns were captured in the whole campaign, but unfortunately more than 100 Japanese light tanks were all destroyed, mainly because these Japanese light tanks were too sturdy, and they could not withstand the bombardment of the tank guns of the Dingbei Army, and all of them were bombed into a pile of scrap metal, so that the Dingbei Army did not capture one, some small regrets, otherwise it was placed in the military exhibition hall and exhibited together with the captured Russian tanks, how many eyeballs could be attracted.

With such a big result, its Dingbei Army only paid the price of losing 5 T1 heavy tanks, 18 heavy Panther tanks, 30 light Black Wolf tanks, 46 Z1 armored vehicles, and more than 9,500 Dingbei officers and soldiers killed and more than 2,000 seriously wounded.

Moreover, after annihilating these Japanese troops from the north of China in the Far Eastern Province and freeing up nearly 200,000 troops from the Dingbei Army, the next step is to launch an attack on South Korea, where the Japanese army is entrenched, and completely uproot the Japanese forces on the mainland.

Lin Daxin saw that Ni Fan also wrote at the end of the war report that he shot down 2 Japanese airships, and couldn't help but sigh that the industrial strength of small Japan was really not weak, you must know that after Lin Daxin bought 8 airships from the future time and space and transported them back to the Qing Dynasty time and space, he not only asked the Shenyang Arsenal to be responsible for modifying the 8 airships to make them air battle fortresses that could drop bombs and install weapons and armor, but also ordered the arsenal to start developing new large airships.

With the strong strength of the Shenyang Arsenal, it was just a new large airship that had just been manufactured, but I didn't expect the Japanese to actually build a large airship, and it is no wonder that little Japan could be rampant for so long in history with such industrial strength.

The Shenyang Arsenal has only built one experimental large airship, but the Shenyang Arsenal is basically satisfied with the performance of this airship, and is ready to produce this large airship on a large scale, and this large airship that has been built has joined the ranks of the airship unit of the Northeast Air Force, and has now gone to South Africa with other airships of the airship unit to pick up the South African volunteers home.

Now that he has reached a secret agreement with the British, Lin Daxin will count his words and send all the airships of the airship unit to South Africa, preparing to take the officers and soldiers of the South African Volunteer Army back to the northeast at one time.

The large airship developed by the Shenyang Arsenal is named the FT1 airship, with a length of 120 meters, a height of 35 meters, a maximum diameter of 29 meters, an airbag that can hold 120,000 cubic meters of helium, a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, a maximum operating height of 2,200 meters, and a gondola carriage below that is 28 meters long, 8 meters wide and 3 meters high, equipped with 20 mm thick alloy armor, equipped with 2 Type 96 heavy machine guns, 2 57 mm rapid-fire guns, can carry 40 tons of cargo, and has 18 members.

This FT1 airship, mainly considered for air transportation, its armor and weapons are much weaker than the original 8 airships, but it can carry 40 tons of cargo at a time, and there are also 2 bomb ports under the gondola compartment, and 2 sets of devices for transporting shells are placed, which can also be used for bombing at critical moments.

Lin Daxin was also quite satisfied with this FT1 airship, and instructed the Shenyang Arsenal to build another 19 ships, make up 20 ships, and set up an air transport brigade.

After annihilating the Japanese dispatch army in northern China, Lin Daxin discussed with Wu Peifu of the General Staff and asked the armored divisions, the 7th, 8th, 25th, 36th, 37th, 39th, and 40th divisions participating in the battle to withdraw to the Yanji and Tumen areas of Jilin Province for rest, and to the areas adjacent to Yalujiang Province to rest and recuperate in preparation for launching an attack on South Korea.

The 3rd Division was ordered to escort Japanese prisoners of war back to the Twin Cities in the Far Eastern Province, and set up a prisoner of war camp in the Twin Cities to take care of the Japanese prisoners of war. The 3rd Division suffered heavy losses in the battle to defend Eagle Gorge, and Lin Daxin was not prepared to allow the 3rd Division to join the forces attacking South Korea.

The news of this great victory soon spread throughout the provinces under the command of Lin Daxin, and the radio station also read out the great results one by one, and the people in the whole north were of course rejoicing, and their families had good economic conditions, and even bought firecrackers to celebrate, but some people felt uncomfortable, and after the Japanese secret services in the four northeastern provinces learned the news of this mourning, they immediately transmitted the bad news back to Japan.

The connection between the Japanese mainland and the Japanese dispatch army in the north of China is not so easy, the Japanese do not have a radio station, and the transmission of news between the two originally required transport ships, but now they use the airships that Japan has just made, but the Japanese are wondering, the airships from the Japanese mainland to the Far East Province only take 2 days to go back and forth, why is it that it has been 3 days, and the two airships that transported food and ammunition to the northern Japanese China dispatch army have not returned?

Originally, Japan currently has 3 airships, but after 1 airship returned from transporting prisoners of war from the Dingbei Army last time, the engine of the airship had some failure, so this time only 2 airships were sent to the Far Eastern Province.

However, the Japanese officers and soldiers on the airship whose engine failed should be grateful for the faulty engine, and the Japanese intelligence officers in the four northeastern provinces sent back the information, and the powerful Japanese northern dispatch army in China was completely annihilated by the Dingbei Army in one day and one night, and the commander Dashan Yan was martyred, and two airships that transported food and ammunition to the northern dispatch army in China were also destroyed by the Dingbei Army.

This cruel news was transmitted back to Japan, and the whole of Japan was suddenly silent, and all the high-level Japanese personnel knew in their hearts what it meant that the annihilation of the northern dispatch army in China represented, and they knew that the final consequences of this war provoked by Japan would not surprisingly let Japan taste it itself.

In the imperial palace in Tokyo, Japan, Emperor Meiji looked at Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu in front of him, his face was very pale, and he didn't expect that the shape would take a sharp turn, and the Northern Dispatch Army, which had 20 army standing divisions in 1 day and 1 night, was completely annihilated by the Dingbei Army, which also made Japan fight, and there were only 47 standing army divisions in the whole of Japan, and there were no 20 at once, it was too ruthless, Emperor Meiji asked: "What should I do?" What about us in Japan? ”

Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile, it's not that we don't work hard, it's really that the enemy is too strong, even if the 20 army standing divisions lost part of their troops because of the attack on Eagle Gorge, but they still have more than 320,000 people, 1 day and 1 night, the Dingbei Army only took 1 day and 1 night to clean up the 320,000 troops of the northern dispatch army of China, which still has 320,000 troops. With such a strong combat effectiveness, how can the Japanese Army fight the Dingbei Army in the future?

Ito Hirobumi hesitated for a moment and said: "His Majesty the Emperor, the current shape is already very unfavorable to our Great Japanese Empire, the remaining warships of our combined fleet can't even protect our Japanese mainland from being attacked by the Northeast Navy, let alone want to gain sea supremacy, and now the northern dispatch army that landed in the Far Eastern Province has been wiped out, and the ministers have the courage to build His Majesty the Emperor, our Great Japanese Empire should send people to Lin Daxin to negotiate peace when the shape is not very bad, End this war! ”

Emperor Meiji gritted his teeth when he heard this, and Emperor Meiji knew that what Ito Hirobumi said was very reasonable, and it was very wise to choose to end the war in the current situation, but Emperor Meiji was unwilling, and since the Meiji Restoration, he has made great efforts to break Japan's feudal policy of closing himself to the outside world, allowing Japan to enter the track of rapid development, so that Japan can quickly get rid of the crisis of semi-colonization, and build the only independent bourgeois country in Asia.

Emperor Meiji and his think tank formulated a continental policy with the occupation of Korea and the Qing Dynasty as its highest national policy, determined to make the Empire of Japan a powerful country with mainland territory, everything went smoothly, Japan prepared for many years in 1894 brazenly launched a war against Korea and the Qing Dynasty, and in the early days of the war in a short period of time occupied the entire territory of Korea, the war burned to the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, originally according to the Japanese script to act, never expected that a Lin Daxin suddenly appeared, The whole war was stirred, and Japan paid a huge price, only half of Korea was gained, and it was because of the mediocrity of the Qing court that Japan picked up a bargain.

In the following years, Emperor Meiji invested heavily in the crazy expansion of the Japanese Army and the Japanese Combined Fleet, and just after the end of the war between Lin Daxin and the Russians, he took the initiative to provoke a war, ready to take revenge, and occupied the vast land under Lin Daxin's command.

But what if you are not reconciled? The reality is there, unless Emperor Meiji can conjure up dozens of all-steel battleships and an army of 1.8 million, the tragic result will befall Japan again. R1152
