Chapter 341: Digging the Ancestral Graves of the Japanese

Japan is a resource-poor island country, and most of its industrial raw materials and markets need to rely heavily on foreign countries. After most of the shipping routes were cut off from the www.biquge.info, the number of domestic factories running that lacked resources fell sharply. With the development of the war, the number of young and middle-aged people being conscripted is also increasing, and the area of military land is also increasing.

In addition, the countless landmines dropped by the Anti-Japanese Federation in the Japanese countryside have also caused a sharp decline in agricultural production. Japan, which still needs to import grain to replenish its daily life, is experiencing a growing shortage of grain. By the beginning of four or five years, the food rations for the average population were getting smaller and smaller.

After the loss of South Manchuria, even the miscellaneous grains that the Japanese rarely bothered about were in short supply. Of course, for the royal family and the magnates, the supply can still be guaranteed. But for ordinary residents, even taking a bath, eating a full meal, and even having sufficient heating materials and winter clothes in the winter of four or four years has become a luxury.

Although the Japanese government and the base camp are suffering huge losses from sea transportation. Constantly looking for ways to transfer grain from Taiwan, southern Korea, and Vietnam to supply the mainland. However, the grain production in these areas must first be supplied to the large local garrison. The remaining grain production, even if it can break through the blockade of American submarines and mines, will bring very little grain back to the mainland.

After the loss of South Manchuria, the operating rate of steel mills in Japan has been declining every day due to the lack of raw materials. By January of '45, Japan's domestic steel production had dropped sharply to 40 percent of its pre-war level. Even workers who are not conscripted are hungry because the factories are unable to operate and do not receive their salaries.

The printing of these anti-union airdrops is extremely exquisite, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the real and fake counterfeit banknotes, which makes the purchasing power of the Japanese people suddenly explode. Inflation became inevitable when the government was unable to provide enough supplies to meet market needs, and even the powerful black market could not satisfy the frenzied purchasing power of residents.

From January to March of '45, the Japanese currency depreciated by 1,000 percent in just two months. In addition to the increasingly cramped war situation, and the increasingly difficult supply of materials, which led to the normal inflation of wartime. The anti-union airdrops, these can almost be faked as real yen banknotes, which can also be said to be a great contribution.

Can you not confuse the real with the fake? These counterfeit banknotes were originally printed on the two yen banknotes of the puppet Manchurian Central Bank after the Anti-Japanese Federation seized the reserves after the capture of Shenyang. The paper and ink used are also the same inks and papers used to print authentic yen. Some of them were even large amounts of yen seized from the Japanese banks in Shenyang and Dalian.

These yen, which had been used as a reserve currency by Manchuria, were airdropped back to Japan. The amount of impact on Japan's fragile economy can be imagined with the yen printed by the Anti-Japanese Union itself. Combined with the airdrop of large quantities of coins seized in Shenyang and Dalian, which had largely disappeared in Japan, the Japanese economy was on the verge of collapse in less than two months.

That is to say, apart from changing the currency, the Japanese government basically has no effect on the counterfeit banknotes that are calculated by tens or even hundreds of tons of airdrops. The Anti-Japanese Union dispatched several bombers from the city to the countryside every day, and wherever there were Japanese, they would airdrop a large number of counterfeit banknotes.

The Japanese army and navy are stationed in the local air defense fighter group, constantly dispatching large groups to try to intercept them. Even the air defense of parts of the city was abandoned to intercept these bombers carrying counterfeit banknotes. But it always failed because of the airdrop action of the Anti-United Nations, which was elusive and had no fixed location at all.

These bomber groups carried not high-explosive aerial bombs, nor napalm, but large quantities of counterfeit banknotes. They are not aimed at factories and cities, but in areas where transportation is convenient and crowds gather. In the selection of airdrop targets, there is a great deal of randomness. It can even be said that where you fly, where you can count as a target. Carrying out this kind of interception operation is quite difficult for the Japanese air defense system.

The anti-Japanese federation carried out this kind of economic warfare that directly airdropped large quantities of counterfeit banknotes on the Japanese mainland, purely to accelerate inflation in Japan. It is different from the Japanese way of using printed counterfeit fiat currency on the battlefield in China to set up shopping materials in the rear to harm others and benefit themselves. It is purely for the purpose of openly and openly disturbing the economy of the Japanese people, and it is a method that is purely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.

Even if the Japanese government wants to invalidate these counterfeit banknotes, along with the counterfeit yen. But the Japanese, who had completely become the end of the crossbow, could not even get the materials needed to replace the banknotes. Without specially made paper and ink, money could not be printed.

The most fundamental thing is that except for a few small mints, most of the remaining large mints were blown up as early as the first round of air raids by the Anti-Japanese Union. At the beginning, the Japanese wondered why these Chinese did not bomb weapons factories and industrial areas, so why did they stare at banks and mints. When the true intentions of the Anti-Japanese League were discovered two years later, the Japanese were helpless.

If the new alternative currency cannot be printed, it will not be possible to drive all these counterfeit notes out of the market. The most important thing is that the amount of counterfeit banknotes is too large, and it is difficult for the Japanese at this time to afford the cost of exchange. The most important thing is that these counterfeit banknotes are even consciously old, and even the most experienced experts in Japan can hardly distinguish the real from the fake in a short time.

The Japanese government, which was powerless to change the situation, finally chose to let it go. What else can be done, the current Japanese economy simply does not have the ability to replace the template of these counterfeit banknotes. Even the place where the new banknotes were printed was no longer available.

The forcible confiscation of these counterfeit banknotes has led to a number of revolts. I want to barter, but I can't get so many supplies. It's not possible to use all checks. If you go to buy two catties of radishes and write a check, isn't that a pure joke? What's more, even if you write a check, there is nowhere to cash it.

And both the Japanese military department and the so-called most efficient Japanese police system were stunned to find out after the leaflets thrown by the Anti-Japanese Union. The number of non-national incidents and the number of people they call has increased dramatically, and the common people no longer have the same respect for the god-like emperor and the imperial army and the government as before.

At this time, the base camp of the Japanese army, which was still stubborn and tried to resist, did not dare to push the people too hard. If this time triggers a large-scale civil uprising, it will be really bad. Although at this moment, the Japanese mainland has become a very large barracks.

But let the Japanese military department make up their minds to suppress it, and they are afraid that it will not only be as simple as a civil uprising. Even if the Japanese soldiers obeyed their orders, they were thoroughly trained to become beasts. But shooting at one's own relatives is not the same thing as shooting at other enemy residents. If you push it too tightly and cause a mutiny, it will be completely bad.

The Japanese, who were anxious by Yang Zhen, clearly felt that the Americans just wanted to defeat themselves completely. However, the hateful Chinese in Manchuria adopted various means and methods to cut down the ancestral graves of the Japanese and completely mess up the whole of Japan from the bottom up.

But in the face of this hateful and scheming opponent, the Japanese army base camp and the government were helpless, and they could only turn their grief and anger into strength and sprinkle all their anger on the heads of the Americans. For the anti-union who have always refused to go to the sea, they never have the courage to provoke those Chinese who they really can't chew.

As for the Japanese, they insisted that if it were not for the ghost animals of the Americans, they would not have been able to make such a big move on their own. From the Chinese battlefield to the Pacific Ocean, it was all made by the ghost animals of the United States. Even if the Japanese jumped into the well, they would have to drag the Americans into the water with them.

As long as the Americans can't bear the huge casualties and retreat, and when the time comes, they will negotiate with the Americans, then the result will be much better. And without the manipulation of the Americans behind the scenes, the Chinese alone would not have been able to make such a big move. The devil in Manchuria threatened the Japanese mainland with nothing more than a demonstration in the air.

Without naval support, they would not have been able to land on the Japanese mainland, which was coastal on all sides. And the Chinese, who are not united internally, may not take much time to fight themselves. The Japanese firmly believed that the Chongqing government would not sit idly by and watch the Communist Army grow and grow so rapidly.

At that time, the Japanese army was at its most powerful, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party continued to have disputes every year, and even the situation of action. At present, the Japanese army is already at the end of the strong crossbow period, which can be said to give both sides a best chance. The struggle for China's dominance after the war will certainly lead to a big fight between the two sides.

The Japanese, who are looking forward to the Chinese themselves in the same room, are constantly adopting the method of strategic contraction in the current battlefield in northern China, and the whole army will retreat south of the Huai River and use the Huai River as a defensive line to hold on to central China. In southern China, it is stuck to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River below Wuhan, the richest region in China. And in the south of North Korea, there is a shrunken turtle, no matter what you do, I can only hold on.

I just want to delay as much time as possible until the Chinese start fighting on their own. When the time comes, the pressure on the Chinese battlefield will disappear all at once. The result of the competition between the snipe and the clam can only be the profit of the fisherman. The Japanese insisted that as long as the powerful communist army in Manchuria that had now entered the customs broke out with the Nationalist government, the Japanese army could at least guarantee the Japanese army's control of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, if the enemy's energy is pinned down to Kannai, the entire controlled area in southern Korea will be basically safe and sound. Therefore, the Japanese army in the battlefield in the Guannei, in the face of various base areas in North China, as well as the hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops of the Anti-Japanese Union that entered the Guan, was repeatedly shrinking. It is to provoke internal strife among the Chinese and create opportunities for them to benefit.

The Japanese are quite good at calculating, but the Chinese are not up to them, that is another matter. The Japanese abandoned the Jinpu line, and even some parts of eastern Yudong planned to move the troubled waters north, transferring the hot spots on the Chinese battlefield to the interior of the Chinese themselves, but this was a little too obvious.

Yang Zhen's plan to completely defeat the Japanese not only on the battlefield but also psychologically and economically from the beginning of four or five years was carried out quite smoothly in a step-by-step manner from January of four or five years. In the final stage of this war, Yang Zhen adopted a variety of means to completely disintegrate the advantages of the Japanese from the root step by step.

The bomber groups of the two armies were in the sky, constantly igniting one Japanese city after another. Japan's military-industrial bases, one after another, were reduced to nothing. While Yang Zhen's plan to completely dismantle Japan psychologically and economically, it was also being carried out step by step, and a new round of combat operations on the ground was also being launched one after another.

Just when the Americans were making every effort to wipe out the last remnants of the Japanese army in the Philippine battlefield and were preparing for the Battle of Iwo Jima. The troops left in the northeast by the Anti-Japanese Union also continued to enter the territory of North Korea. With the cooperation of the Korean Independence Army, all preparations for the operation of the Korean army are being carried out in an all-out way.
