The sneak attack on the Sasebo Military Port by the No. 203 submarine of the Chinese Navy can be called an extremely classic battle in the history of submarine warfare. After the No. 203 submarine slipped into the Sasebo military port, it destroyed all 18 torpedoes it carried. Sunk one battleship, two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and five destroyers of the Japanese Navy. This is also due to the fact that there is only one battleship in the military port, and if there are a few more battleships in the military port, perhaps the result of submarine No. 203 will be even greater.

The submarine forces of the Imperial Navy studied the battle of submarine No. 203 as a subject for future training of submarine forces. Of course, it has also made other countries have a better understanding of the threat of submarines, and all countries have increased their anti-submarine deployments in their own military ports, so as to avoid another tragedy like the Sasebo military port.

When the Japanese Minister of the Navy, Admiral Rokuro Yashiro, learned of what had happened at the Sasebo Military Port, he was silent. After the loss of a large number of battleships, the Japanese Navy was left with only 4 light cruisers and 44 destroyers. Although the number of destroyers seems to be quite large, this kind of light warship is probably not able to confront it at all, except for the lightning strike, which can threaten the main ships of the Chinese Navy.

It can be seen that from now on, Japan's coastline will be completely opened up to the Chinese navy. Even if the Chinese Navy sends a light cruiser, it can go on a rampage at will. This is a complete disgrace for the Japanese Navy.

Prime Minister Masashi Terauchi was also very angry when he learned that the Sasebo military port had been attacked, which made him more and more disappointed with the navy. Therefore, his energy was involuntarily transferred to the army. Since. The navy simply can't hold up the wall with mud. Then, if you want to keep Japan, you can only look at the army.

However, soon Terauchi Masatsuki knew that the Japanese army was also a navy, and there was no difference. Even. The performance of the Japanese Army is even worse than that of the Japanese Navy. In front of the elite Imperial Army, the Japanese Army was equally vulnerable.

The port of Pusan, the Kingdom of Korea, was leased by the Imperial Navy for a long time. The Imperial Navy established a destroyer base here to patrol the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the Tsushima Strait, and the Whale Sea. Now, the Imperial Operations Command against Japan is located here. Marshal Shi Deshan, commander-in-chief of the war against Japan, was even more present here. He hoped that he would be the first of the imperial marshals to set foot on Japanese soil.

After the Imperial Navy defeated the Japanese Navy and gained sea supremacy. The landing operation against Japan has already been put on the agenda. Now, the entire Tsushima Strait was under the control of the Imperial Navy. The Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy dispatched two 'Five Emperor-class' battleships, four 'Zodiac-class' heavy cruisers, seven 'Suzaku-class' heavy cruisers, and 12 'E-class' destroyers to cruise the Tsushima Strait. Ensure that the Imperial Army will not be intercepted by the Japanese Navy when it lands on Kyushu Island from the Korean Peninsula.

Vice Admiral Li Dingxin, Chief of Staff of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy. He also made a special trip here to coordinate the Imperial Navy to assist in this landing operation. 1st Army of the Imperial Army. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Marine Divisions, totaling more than 200,000 troops, have all gathered around the port of Busan. With just one order, they will cross the Tsushima Strait in a transport ship. Landing on the island of Kyushu.

On the evening of August 25, 4621, Marshal Shi Deshan held a pre-war meeting, which was attended by General Shi Qingshan, commander of the 1st Group Army, and the commanders of the infantry divisions under the 1st Group Army, and the commanders of the units directly under the Group Army. The commanders of the three divisions of the Marine Corps, Vice Admiral Li Dingxin, chief of staff of the Navy's Pacific Fleet, and the commander of the Air Force, etc.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the navy has defeated the Japanese navy and completely mastered the sea supremacy of the Tsushima Strait. The time is ripe for us to launch a landing operation against Japan. I have consulted His Majesty and the General Staff, and they have approved our plan for the landing operation. Therefore, our landing plan will begin tomorrow. Marshal Shi Deshan said.

The generals attending the meeting were a little excited. Everyone has long regarded the Japanese as the old enemy of the Imperial Army. It was all the Imperial Navy that slammed small Japan again and again. The Imperial Army, on the other hand, could only watch from the side, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

This time, the empire was determined to destroy Japan. The Imperial Army, too, can finally come in handy. Besides, back then, little Japan went on a killing spree in China and caused so many killings, and the Imperial Army had long wanted to return a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood. After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for this day.

"According to the landing operation plan we had drawn up earlier, the landing site was Fukuoka in the western part of Kyushu Island. The first to launch a landing operation will be the 1st Marine Division. The task of the 1st Division, under the cover of the naval fleet, was to successfully land in Fukuoka and establish a solid beachhead there. After that, the 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions will land in Fukuoka and open up a safe landing ground. The 1st Army of the Imperial Army was to land subsequently. After that, the Japanese Army deployed on Kyushu Island will be attacked, annihilated, and the entire island of Kyushu will be occupied. During this period, the Imperial Army's 4th Army and 14th Army were to march to Kyushu Island in preparation for the landing on Honshu Island. Marshal Shi Deshan said.

This time on the Japanese mainland, the Marines were responsible for the beachfront landing and establishing a solid beachhead. Subsequently, the Imperial Army landed again on a large scale and launched an attack on the main force of the Japanese Army, which can be described as a clear division of labor. Although, according to the information currently available to the Empire, the Japanese Army's garrison on Kyushu Island has reached 6 divisions and is still increasing. It is expected that in the later period it will reach ten divisions, that is, 250,000 people. However, Marshal Ishitoyama believed that with the strength of the 1st Army and three marine divisions, it would be possible to defeat them in one fell swoop and occupy the entire island of Kyushu. Subsequently, wait until the 4th Army and the 14th Army arrive before preparing for an attack on Honshu Island.

Honshu Island is the largest island in the Japanese archipelago and the focus of the Japanese Army's defense. The Imperial Army, which launched an offensive with three army groups, was completely capable of defeating them in one fell swoop. Of course, to be on the safe side, the Imperial Army also drew an army group as a reserve, so that in the event of a bad war, reinforcements could be sent at any time. In this way, the empire will invest a total of four army groups and three marine divisions in this war against Japan, with a total strength of about 650,000 troops.

Of course, with the strength of the empire, it is not without the strength to invest more troops. Rather, after calculations, the General Staff believed that the investment of three or four army groups would be enough to completely solve Japan, and there was no need to invest more troops at all. That's not just a waste, it will also consume a lot of war materials, some of which outweigh the losses.

"General Li, this landing operation still needs the cooperation of the navy. Your ships will provide artillery support for the landing of the Marines. The Japanese will not watch us land, they will definitely launch a counterattack. When the time comes, the battleships of the navy will need to provide powerful artillery fire to destroy their resistance. Marshal Shi Deshan said.

"Lord Marshal, please rest assured that the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy will fully support this operation of the Army." Lieutenant General Li Dingxin patted his chest and reassured.

The complete destruction of Japan was also the goal of the Imperial Navy. After all, only after the destruction of Japan could the Imperial Navy penetrate deep into the Pacific Ocean to confront the United States without worries. If Japan exists, most of the strength of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy will be held back by Japan. Although the Imperial Navy was able to defeat the Japanese Navy, it could not destroy Japan. After all, the warships of the Navy cannot be driven to land. If Japan really wants to be destroyed, it will have to rely on the army. To provide support for the army, the navy naturally has no opinion.

"Everyone, let's go back and get ready. Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, the 1st Marine Division will depart from the port of Busan. At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Imperial Navy launched a fire strike on Fukuoka. An hour later, the 1st Marine Division launched a beachfront landing. Subsequently, the 2nd Marine Division departed. Be sure to set up a solid landing ground before it gets dark. Marshal Shi Deshan said.

"Yes, Marshal." Everyone replied.

Tomorrow will be the time for the Reich to launch a landing operation against Japan. If the Imperial Army can successfully land in Japan, then there will be almost no doubt about the subsequent war. The powerful Imperial Army will definitely defeat the Japanese Army and occupy the entire island of Kyushu. After occupying the island of Kyushu, the Imperial Army could launch an offensive against Honshu. In three months, the destruction of Japan will not be a problem at all.

The Imperial Army had been preparing for the destruction of Japan since two years ago. A large amount of war materials and personnel have been mobilized to the Korean Peninsula and the eastern coast of the empire. The Navy and Air Force will also give full support to the Imperial Army. Therefore, in this battle, the Imperial Army had absolutely no reason to lose.

The strength of the Imperial Army was much stronger than that of the Japanese Army. The weapons equipped by both sides are not of the same level at all. And the fighting quality of the soldiers, the Imperial Army has also led the Japanese Army through many major wars. In terms of will to fight, it is no worse than the Japanese Army. Considering these reasons, it is undoubtedly a sure thing that the Imperial Army will defeat the Japanese Army. (To be continued.) )
