1911 Dispersal of troops

Lin Yuan asked, "Then there is no command post in Tokyo?" ”

Number 36 shook his head and said, "No, as for why not, I don't know." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said to Shen Wanqing: "Wanqing, you can chat with her for a while, I'll go first." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he said goodbye to Shen Wanqing, returned to his residence, took out a map of Japan, looked at the map and thought to himself: "The emperor will definitely control the battle situation in his command post, so I should focus on attacking the emperor's command post next." ”

"Of the three command posts assigned to No. 36, the westernmost is Hiroshima, Kyushu Island is to the west, Shikoku Island is to the south of it, Kyushu Island has my 2nd Division, 3rd Division and other elite troops, and Shikoku Island has the 24th Division, 48th Division, and 49th Division, and the 23rd Division can also support the past at any time, that is to say: Sendai is in the strategic encirclement of my heavy forces! My next target was Hiroshima. ”

"There are two ways to attack Hiroshima: the first is to march from Kyushu Island, let the 2nd Division and other troops cross the Kanmon Strait, and the most convenient passage is the Kanmon Strait Bridge, but unfortunately this bridge has been bombed by our people." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan picked up the phone at hand and said, "Pick up the command of the Central Front Army for me." ”

It didn't take long for Xiao Yingwu's voice to ring on the phone: "Lin Shuai, do you have something?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "When will the Guanmen Strait Bridge be repaired?" ”

Xiao Yingwu replied: "I don't know about this, our engineers are investigating." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, you immediately organize engineers and repair the Guanmen Strait Bridge in the shortest possible time!" ”

Xiao Yingwu asked, "Lin Shuai, are we going to continue the attack?" ”

Lin Yuan replied: "Yes, our next target is Hiroshima!" Lin Yuan put down the phone and thought in his heart: "The Guanmen Strait Bridge will definitely not be completed for a while and a half, it seems that I should change the way of attacking!" ”

Lin Yuan's eyes were fixed on the long coast adjacent to Kyushu Island in the western part of Honshu Island, which belonged to Yamaguchi Prefecture in Japan, and he thought silently: "In the landing operation on Kyushu Island, I used the method of concentrating my forces and focusing on one point, so when attacking Honshu Island, can I change the way, that is, to disperse my troops and attack everywhere!" ”

"The Japanese army's defense in Yamaguchi Prefecture is also very different from that in Fukuoka, when the Japanese army defends Fukuoka, it mainly focuses on anti-landing operations, and its troops are deployed along the coastline, while in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the Japanese army mainly focuses on the defense of key areas, and the main field corps shrinks, and when we land, they use Japan's developed road network to launch key attacks."

"After we adopt the tactics of 'scattering forces and attacking everywhere', the Japanese army will not be able to judge the direction of our army's main attack, so it will be forced to disperse its forces, and our army will use powerful weapons and equipment to break the enemy forces individually!"

Lin Yuan thought of this, and wrote the words "scatter the troops and attack everywhere" on the paper, and then thought: "The attack on the western part of Hiroshima is in this way, and the attack on the southern part of Hiroshima should be done in a different way, the outer side of Hiroshima is dotted with small islands, and these islands are garrisoned by Japanese troops, if we want to attack from the south, we must first solve the defenders on these small islands!" ”

"The sea water outside these small islands is very shallow, and our large landing ships cannot get close, and if they want to land, they can only rely on air-cushion landing craft or small boats.

Lin Yuan thought about the strategy, so he told Xiao Yingwu to let Xiao Yingwu be responsible for the formulation of the battle plan, at this moment, Shen Wanqing walked in from outside, and said to Lin Yuan with a smile: "I have good news for you." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What's the good news?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "I found you a daughter!" ”

Lin Yuan exclaimed, "What did you find for me?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "Daughter! Daughter, don't you understand what it means? ”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Where did you find it?" Who is she? ”

Shen Wanqing pointed out with her hand and said with a smile: "It's the thirty-sixth, I talked to her and cared about her for a while, but she was very moved, and said that the mother in her dream is like me, if you have to recognize me as a mother, what can I do?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "But she is our prisoner of war!" This thing is so fake! ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "What's fake?" She adores me a lot! And she was just sixteen years old, by the way, I also gave her a Chinese name, called 'Lin Qing', what do you think? ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It's very good, but we can't take her with us now, right?" After all, she came from the Japanese, what if she hides her bad intentions? ”

Shen Wanqing said with a smile: "I have already thought about it, we will send her to the high-level prisoner of war camp in Lushun first, let her study hard for a while, see the situation and then bring her to Beijing." ”

Lin Yuan agreed, and the next day, on 3 August, Xiao Yingwu sent Lin Yuan a battle plan, which read: The generals of the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 8th Divisions stationed in Fukuoka will be divided into 10 routes, and Ube in Yamaguchi Prefecture will land in the area around Shimomatsu, and the landing time will be selected on 15 August.

During this time, the engineering troops built the Guanmen Strait Bridge, so that the Japanese army mistakenly believed that our army would enter Honshu Island through the Guanmen Strait Bridge; On 8 August, the 33rd Amphibious Operations Division will attack the southern Hiroshima and Geyo Islands, capture all the islands by 15 August, and land with the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Divisions on 15 August.

Lin Yuan looked at the battle plan and found no problems, so he replied to Xiao Yingwu: Prepare relevant matters according to this plan, and in the evening, Lin Yuan went to participate in the celebration banquet prepared for the special combat team, but only after going did he find out: Chen Fei changed the celebration banquet to a swearing-in banquet, and swore at the banquet: The Sixth Special Operations Division must personally capture Emperor Meiji.

On 4 August, Nogi Noshinori, as a special envoy of Emperor Meiji, went to the 17th Division in Yamaguchi Prefecture to inspect the preparations of the Japanese army.

Although Nogi Noshinori was defeated by Lin Yuan in the Battle of Kyushu Island, Emperor Meiji still used him extremely much, because he was extremely loyal to the emperor, in Lin Yuan's time, when Emperor Meiji died of illness, Nogi Noshinori actually took his wife to commit suicide for the emperor's funeral!

The commander of the 17th Division, Hayao Iwasaki, heard that Nogi Noshinori was coming as a special envoy of the Emperor, so he hurriedly welcomed him into the headquarters and asked, "General Nogi, does Your Majesty have a good plan to break the enemy?" ”

Nogi nodded confidently.
