In a Japanese military facility about 30 kilometers from the Yalu River, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were listening to their commander reading a newspaper from China with worried faces, trying to get some news from it. △¢Top Novel,

For these Japanese soldiers, I am afraid that there is nothing more to worry about at the moment than their families at home.

It was also because of this relationship that when they learned that their hometown had suddenly hit a large earthquake and even a fire, almost everyone was very worried.

However, as soldiers, there is simply no way for them to leave their posts without permission. Therefore, I can only get some news related to it from the newspapers that my superiors have brought back from Pyongyang, so that I can get some comfort in my heart.

I have to say that it is actually very easy to take up a position here at the moment.

Although at the beginning, because of the problem of the 30-kilometer demilitarized zone, these Japanese soldiers felt deeply humiliated. However, after a long time, this feeling gradually disappears, and is replaced by habit and leisure.

After all, they have already retreated 30 kilometers, and basically there is no contact with the Chinese, in this case, there is really no pressure on the Japanese. After a long time, it will naturally become very leisurely, if it weren't for this incident, I'm afraid they could be more leisurely...

Sometimes, they even go to the demilitarized zone to walk around, of course, not as a carrier weapon.

After all, Korea at this time was a Japanese colony after all, and the Wehrmacht did not have any garrisons within this thirty-kilometer distance. So basically, the IDF just needs to make sure that there are no military installations in this part of the area. As for some stragglers, they didn't really care about —————— two successive victories in wars. In addition to the current momentum of national strength, it has made them appear a little 'generous'.

But now...

Even if it's the one with the thickest nerves. I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to continue to relax now...

Even the hateful Chinese in the north now have no way to attract even the slightest attention from them.

However, while the Japanese soldiers were listening to the commander's reading of the newspaper in the facility, a slight sound suddenly came from one of the soldiers, as if it were a vibrating sound. How to say that? It's like the sound of a dragonfly vibrating its wings, but it seems to be very distant.

At first, few people cared about the captain because the soldiers were focused on the captain, but after a long time, many people soon noticed.

Even the captain looked up in surprise. Draw attention away from the North Korean-published newspaper.

"What's that sound?"

By this time, the sound had changed from vibrating to humming, and it was getting louder and louder, even to the point where they could barely ignore it.

Soon, I saw a veteran who had participated in the Korean War that year, and suddenly had a frightened expression on his face and shouted loudly.

"It's a Chinese plane!"

In the distance, dense airplanes were flying towards the territory of North Korea. This scene seems to evoke the deepest fears in the hearts of many veterans who participated in the Korean War.

——————————————————————————

"Hey, you say, what's going on this time? In the past, we were not even allowed to run over North Korea's airspace, but this time we were all dispatched. And still on combat duty? ”

On a certain bomber in the air, I glanced through the glass window in the five directions, front, back, left, right, and up, and almost everywhere there were friendly planes, and the dense crowd was very scary. The bombardier couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

"With such a big formation, I'm afraid that half of the fighters in the Northeast have been dispatched."

"I guess it's about the same, the number of airports on the border between China and North Korea. It is almost equivalent to half of the Northeast, and our side is the front line. So he said. The captain was also puzzled. "But this time it's a strange thing, there was no sign at all. It's as if all of a sudden we were put out, and we didn't even have a little time to prepare, which is really strange..."

"Forget it, whatever, anyway, we'll do whatever we are told to do by the above, and it just so happens that I don't like those little devils. There's always something tender and gentle up there, and I'm already a little impatient..."

Having said that, the hearts of the young navigators on the bomber are actually not very stable ...

Because he has a cousin who is a staff officer of the Northeast Air Force Command, although it is not a very big official position, but it can be regarded as having access to a lot of secrets.

When he was out before, because he was too anxious, he also asked his cousin. However, his cousin didn't know the situation, and just told him that the entire Northeast Theater was almost very confused.

However, since he was a staff officer of the headquarters, he could still know some things so much, so he then told his cousin.

It is quite possible that this news was issued directly from the presidential palace ...

The order issued directly by the presidential palace, what exactly does this mean, this young navigator is still a little clear in his heart...

In any case, after flying for a while, the group finally hit the first bombing target. In fact, in the past, although the Kuomintang government had always pursued a policy of encircling the Japanese, it had never given up the possibility of using force in private.

In other words, although Yan Shao has always believed that not using force is the best way, deep down he actually does not trust the Japanese very much, so he has always considered using force to completely solve the problem of Japan, at least, he left a song.

So over the years, although China and Japan have been singing the praises of peace, what about the reality? Agents from the Secret Service have been investigating the location of military installations in North Korea.

At the same time, the Northeast Theater of Operations has also been formulated long ago, if war breaks out. What are the primary targets? Even the order of the target has been worked out.

It is precisely because of this relationship that when the war broke out. Only then can the air force quickly assign its own combat missions in accordance with the operational plans that have already been drawn up.

At least this time. After noticing the appearance of the first military target, several fighters soon covered a bomber, lowered the altitude, and flew towards that military target.

Almost in a short time, the bomber magazine that had already flown over the military target was opened, and more than a dozen aerial bombs were dropped, and then in the blink of an eye, the improvised military facility was completely turned into a sea of fire.

Immediately afterwards, the fighters who were responsible for covering even dived down. They opened fire on a few Japanese soldiers who had managed to escape from the military installation.

——————————————————————————

As I said earlier, long before the move, the Northeast Theater had already formulated the offensive steps and operational order according to the intelligence of the Special Affairs Bureau. Among them, the first to attack was naturally the Air Force.

This is not because the Wehrmacht has learned the essence of the blitzkrieg deeply, but because the agreement of the 30-mile demilitarized zone has made the Wehrmacht's long-range artillery almost useless. Under these circumstances, if the Wehrmacht had taken the initiative to attack, there would probably be no weapon other than aircraft that would have been able to hit the Japanese military targets in Korea.

It is precisely because of this that the Air Force has become the vanguard of the Northeast Battlefield.

And for now. The planes that had already flown into the territory of the DPRK were quickly divided into groups and began to fly toward their mission objectives in accordance with the combat missions that had already been assigned.

Wait until the time the message is delivered to Tokyo. The entire northern part of Korea, with the exception of a few military installations located deep in the mountains, has not been turned over by the Special Affairs Bureau. Almost all were destroyed by bombing.

——————————————————————————

When the news reached Tokyo, Yoshiichi Tanaka was still facing off at Saionji Gongwang.

Actually, in my heart. Yoshiichi Tanaka agreed with Saionji's strategy that Japan could not confront China head-on. or make peace with one another. Either that or to confront China with the help of the Western powers.

At least after China's re-emergence, it will be difficult for Japan to stand up to China on its own.

To be honest, it was precisely because of Tanaka Yoshiichi's approach of understanding the overall situation that Saionji Gongwang promoted him to the Minister of War. However, it is this man who was once regarded by the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang as a general knowledge, but at this moment, it is the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang who is in a dilemma.

In fact, as mentioned earlier, Tanaka Yoshiichi does not think that confronting China is a very wise strategy.

The problem is that as a soldier, Tanaka Yoshiichi also cannot agree with the crusade against the 'murderer' when his own compatriots are bleeding—————— even Tanaka himself knows that his compatriots are purely to blame and deserve it.

In any case, at least the murderer must be caught.

It is for this reason that Tanaka Yoshiichi will be at a stalemate with Saionji Gongwang at this time.

It has to be said that although Saionji Gongwang was indeed the most prestigious veteran of Japan during this period, he was within the army. Perhaps because of the relationship between the friends of Shan County, many army members do not buy the public hope of Xiyuan Temple, so if a very capable army general stands up, the people of the army may not all listen to the public hope of Xiyuan Temple.

But while the two were still at a stalemate, a telegram was delivered to them.

When the two of them, together with Yuan Kei, saw the news that the military targets in northern Korea had been bombed by the National Defense Air Force on a large scale, Tanaka Yoshiichi's face turned pale, but Saionji Gongwang threw the telegram at Tanaka in anger.

"Look at the consequences of your actions! The attack on the Chinese embassy must be stopped immediately! ”

This time, Yoshiichi Tanaka did not insist on his opinion, but after being silent for a long time, he followed the order of Saionji Konozo...

In fact, in Tanaka's estimate, it is not that the possibility of military measures by the Chinese is not unexpected. The problem is that Tanaka did not expect the Chinese to react so violently and so quickly. Even before the people in front of them captured the embassy, they had already begun to move.

But before Tanaka Yoshiichi left. The telegram that was delivered to them next couldn't help but make their faces pale again.

Because this time it was delivered. It is the intelligence that the squadron is massing on a large scale. Judging by this information, it is very likely that the third battle between China and Japan will break out again. And North Korea may also be lost again, and this time, whether they can get North Korea back again, I'm afraid everyone doesn't know.

——————————————————————————

Seriously speaking, Yoshiichi Tanaka can indeed be said to be a very outstanding soldier in Japan during this period. Yoshiichi Tanaka was born in Kikuya Yokocho in Hagi, and his father, Nobusuke Tanaka, was a low-ranking samurai who was in charge of carrying an umbrella and a sedan chair when the feudal lord traveled. Tanaka was born so big that his mother was mistaken for twins when she became pregnant. Very naughty as a teenager, 1876. At the age of 14, he participated in a samurai rebellion led by Maehara Kassei and later turned himself in and survived his ignorance at a young age. Since then, he has worked as a handyman in the village office and a primary school teacher.

At that time, Choshu was full of relics of the heroes of the Meiji Restoration, so it seems that it is not difficult to imagine that he would choose the road of the army.

In 1894, the Sino-Japanese War broke out. In 1895, he served as a lieutenant staff officer of the 1st Division, and developed a mobilization system for the 1st Division. The content is very detailed, the degree of completion is very high, and almost the original plan is adopted. Other divisions also borrowed it for use. For this reason, he was recognized, and then participated in the battles of Jinzhou, Dalian, and Lushun, was promoted to captain, and after the war, he entered the second department of the General Staff Headquarters to engage in intelligence. Tian Middle School is Russian. And it's pretty good. After reporting to the Second Division, the Second Department sent him to Russia to study. Tanaka worked very hard in Russia, taking the old Maozi he knew to church every week. He also joined the Tsarist Russian army and personally went to grasp the first-hand information. On the eve of the Russo-Japanese War. He became the army's leading Russian expert and served as the head of the Russian Division.

It should be clarified. Yoshiichi Tanaka also had a quarrel with Hirobumi Ito, and although this incident made Hirobumi Ito angry, he recognized his ability. During the Russo-Japanese War, he was recommended to work as a staff officer at the Manchurian Army Headquarters in Dashanyan. participated in the battles of Yingkou and Haicheng, and it is said that he met Zhang Zuolin with a beard there.

In the original history, after the establishment of the Yuan Jing cabinet in 1918, Yama County Youpeng recommended him to join the cabinet as the land minister. In June 1920, he formulated a 14-year plan to vigorously strengthen national defense, and during his tenure, the Japanese consulate in the port of Niklaevsk in Russia was attacked and more than 700 Japanese were killed.

It should be noted that Tanaka Yoshiichi's land minister did a good job, and even served as the land minister of the second Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet—————— which happened to be just after the Great Kanto Earthquake, but unfortunately, another incident happened later, and many things changed.

This is the well-known Humen incident, and it should be noted that this Humen incident is not the one from the Humen gunsmoke, but a political incident that assassinated the regent Prince Hirohito.

As a result, because of this incident, almost all of the cabinet at that time was implicated and had to step down, and it was under this circumstance that Yoshiichi Tanaka stepped down from the position of land minister.

At the time of the earthquake, Hirohito was holding a state banquet at the Akasaka Imperial Palace. Because the palace was designed to withstand earthquakes, it withstood the impact of earthquakes. Hirohito and the guests ran to the open space of the courtyard and watched as Tokyo was shaken and staggered. Emperor and Empress Taisho were living in Nikko at the time, so they were unharmed, and the palace building was designed to withstand earthquakes, with only some minor damage.

Less than four months after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Hirohito was on his way to attend the opening ceremony of the Imperial Diet, and at 10:45 a.m., when Hirohito's car passed by Toranomon Park, a young man suddenly jumped up from the kneeling crowd, smashed his shoulder into the police cordon, and shot at Hirohito's car. The bullet pierced through the glass, and the shards passed Hirohito's right ear, oozing some blood, and the driver picked up speed before dodging a second shot. The assassin shouted 'Long live the revolution' while chasing the car, before being captured by the crowd and handed over to the gendarmes.

The assassin was a 23-year-old man named Daisuke Namba. His father, Namba Sakunosu, was a large landowner in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a member of the House of Representatives, and a royal centrist. He was an anarchist, and his high-pressure policies after the earthquake made him hostile to the government. Of course, the most important thing is that when he learns of the murder of Sakae Osugi, a socialist and anarchist he admires, he is determined to assassinate the crown prince to avenge him.

This incident is the more famous Toranoon incident in history, and it is this incident that implicated many Japanese cabinet ministers, including Tanaka Yoshiichi, and led to their downfall...

However, at this time, not to mention whether the Humen incident will happen or not, it is a matter of time alone, which leads to the fact that Tanaka Yoshiichi will not step down at this time...

Of course, given the relationship between this war, perhaps Tanaka Yoshiichi will step down earlier than the same period in history, after all, history changes very quickly, especially considering that the situation in Japan in this war is not very ideal... (To be continued......)
