The first snow finally fell on Kyushu Island, and the battle for more than half a year was mainly carried out around the western and eastern fronts in central Kyushu.

But the cessation was only relative, in fact, the fighting between the two sides did not stop for a moment, from Fulin in the north to Kirishima in the south, the two sides fought vigorously on the 700-mile staggered front.

Not to mention anything else, the number of players who resurrect the Japanese every day alone exceeds 30,000, and this does not count the number of aborigines killed and captured.

The Han army gave full play to their strengths, high mobility, high lethality, and surprising reconnaissance ability, which made the Japanese always very passive in the face of the Han army, and often the Han army suddenly formed a numerical advantage in the local area, and then annihilated a large number of Japanese troops with strong attacks.

Relatively speaking, the strategy of stubborn defense is slightly better, no matter what, the Han army will definitely pay a price for attacking the city, the difference is only the amount of cost.

In May, the road from Hyuga to the western capital was frequently cut off by the Qiyu battalion of the Han army, and the supply of troops on the southern and western fronts became a huge problem, and the Japanese had to take the initiative to slowly abandon the cities on the western and southern fronts.

The Han army was not in a hurry to penetrate the north-south corridor of the western front, and the Han army on the southern front went to the western capital to establish positions and confront the Japanese people of Hinata, and Zhao Yun's troops began to move northward to cooperate with Li Yuanzhi's troops. There is a soldier who forces Beppu to cut off Hinata's retreat, and the famous Kiyu battalion disappears again, and I don't know where to start.

Guo Jia and Li Ru's idea is simple. That is to take it step by step, not to rush to drive the Japanese out of Kyushu completely, but to consume the Japanese as much as possible, the battle in the province is going too fast, and after compressing the Japanese people into a smaller area, the difficulty of the battle will also increase.

Therefore, Guo Jia's main purpose in the past six months is to consolidate the territory in the western part of Kyushu. Then a large number of troops killed and wounded the Japanese people, and surrendered and plundered the Japanese aborigines.

After half a year of construction, the urban agglomeration in western Kyushu has basically taken shape. Even the first harvest was successfully carried out, although the yield was not very large, but it was not without a small supplement, and now the whole logistics is no longer pressed in Hanjin. In the west, there are more ports to choose from. Guo Jia's logistics are no longer under pressure, and coupled with the preparation of this half year, the conditions are ripe for another big war.

In Guo Jia's headquarters, all the generals gathered, today is the pre-war meeting to prepare for the Battle of Fukuoka, and there is a huge map hanging in the conference room, and the generals are looking at the map and pointing and whispering, waiting for Guo Jia.

There was a sound of footsteps. Guo Jia walked in from the side door, and all the generals got up and saluted together: "I have seen Master Military Division, Master Changshi 1."

"You're courteous. It's all acquaintances, so let's not be polite, please take a seat. ”

Guo Jia glanced at the generals with a smile, came to the front of the map, looked back at the map, and then turned his head and said: "Everyone, after more than half a year of preparation, the time is ripe for another battle with the Japanese people. ”

When the generals heard this, their faces showed joy, the beginning of the Battle of Fukuoka means that the final attack of the Han army on Kyushu Island will be decided in a battle, and the next battle will enter the main island, the Battle of Fukuoka can be said to be a phased battle of the Battle of Yingzhou, and all the generals are naturally very excited to participate in this battle.

Guo Jia smiled with satisfaction, picked up a wooden stick and tapped on the map, and then said: "Everyone, please see, the Japanese have gathered more than five million troops around Fukuoka, and their important fulcrums are in Munakata, Iizuka, Nakatsu and Kitakyushu, the core is naturally Fukuoka, and there are a large number of fortresses and military fortresses on the periphery, and the entire Fukuoka area is a hundred miles in radius, like a huge camp. Therefore, we can completely think of it as a whole war."

Guo Jia paused for a moment and let everyone digest what they said.

"The main battle force of our army is General Yu She's 50,000 troops, my 100,000 headquarters here, General Zilong's more than 20,000 cavalry, General Yuanzhi's more than 20,000 cavalry and Chen Shao's 30,000 navy and commando, 100,000 cavalry of the Inhuman troops assisting in the battle, and more than 4 million infantry, our army is slightly inferior in number. But in terms of skirmishers, our army has an overwhelming advantage. Therefore, our army will use the tactics of skinning in this battle, gradually encroaching on the enemy's fortress layer by layer, knocking down the enemy troops who are hugging in a ball, and then tearing them apart, taking advantage of our skirmishers to easily eat them. ”

"Master Strategist, what if the enemy attacks?" Zhao Yun interjected and asked.

"That's better, if they dare to attack, we will dare to concentrate superior forces to eat them, and out of the fortress area, the enemy's combat effectiveness will only be weaker."

"What if the enemy strikes from multiple directions?"

"Hehe, it's simpler, just catch all the way and slam it, can the Japanese still fly away, wait for one to be wiped out and then turn back to eat the other, we have an advantage in mobility, so I judge that the enemy will defend to the death, and fight a fortress battle with us in a dignified manner! Therefore, the battle will be very hard, and don't think that it can be a devastating defeat battle and a war of annihilation, this is a hard bone, and you can only gnaw it slowly

"Understood, Master Advisor, please assign a task1

"Very good, now order, General Yu She1

"The end will be 1

"Order your ministry to rely on Fu Lin and steadily attack in the direction of the sect statue, not seeking speed but stability1

"No1

"General Li Yuanzhi 1

"The end will be 1

"Order your troops to attack in the direction of Beppu, the range can be customized, the purpose is to strike and delay the speed of reinforcements from the south, create conditions for Zhang Zhiyuan's pursuit, and try to annihilate this group of Japanese troops in the area south of Fukuoka.1

"Command 1

"General Zhao Yun1

"The end will be 1

"Ordering your troops to attack the direction of Zhongjin is also mainly to break the enemy's company camp and fortress, and create opportunities for the follow-up Inhuman troops to attack and encircle and annihilate the enemy army, and the specific situation can be controlled by yourself."

"No1

"The headquarters will be led by me and attack in the direction of Iizuka."

"Strategist, you forgot the last general1 Chen Zhen couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Hehe, I haven't forgotten, no, your mission will have to wait a little, now you can assist General Yuanzhi first! But the troops could not move far from the east bank. ”

Nuo 1 Chen Zhen replied happily.

Guo Jia glanced at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Battle of Fukuoka may be the last battle of the Battle of Kyushu, whether you can complete the Kyushu strategy this year depends on the efforts of everyone here, the lord said, he wants to preside over the new naming ceremony for Kyushu in the New Year, whether it will be successful or not, it depends on everyone1."

Please rest assured, the lord will definitely take Kyushu 1 in the New Year Li Yuanzhi said confidently.

All the generals of Kyushu 1 also responded in unison with confidence

"Is the Han army finally about to begin?"

"Hey! Your Excellency the General General, the Han army launched simultaneous attacks from the direction of Munakata, Iizuka, and Nakatsu, and also harassed and attacked in the direction of Beppu. ”

"Yo sigh! Isn't it just waiting for the day when we carefully build the Fukuoka Defense Zone, gathering in Fukuoka Castle and fighting it out1

Looking at the invincible smile of the general Yamamoto, the people in the staff of the Japanese army all showed a smile in amusement, but the degree of laughter must be grasped well, after all, the current battle situation is not the time to laugh heartily.

Gu Pan Shengxiong swept around, Yamamoto Invincible refocused his eyes on the sand table in front of him, at a glance the sand table was full of small fortresses, this half a year, the Japanese people really did not idle, although the materials on Yingzhou Island were lacking, but there was no shortage of stones. A large number of forts were built during this period, and after the careful design of military staff officers who were familiar with the war of hot weapons, these fortress groups covered each other with firepower, and there were tunnels and trenches connected underground, so Fukuoka was surrounded by a huge fortress, and if you want to capture this fortress, according to the estimates of the Japanese army staff, there are not tens of millions of lives to fill in, so you don't even think about it.

Since the Han army wants to come and try the power of Fukuoka Fortress, then go ahead!

"Everyone, how to fight don't need to say it, you have repeatedly deduced countless times, if you still can't fight well, I really have nothing to say, everyone performs their duties, fulfill their duties, if there is negligence and laziness, they will be severely punished! Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to win honor for the Emperor and victory for Yamato! Ladies and gentlemen, please1

"Hi 1

In contrast to the optimism of the General Staff, the Japanese on the front line did not have that kind of confidence, and now the Japanese people's method of operation is tortoise warfare, and this method of warfare is not to mention how effective it is, but first of all, it is the most demoralizing blow to the Japanese troops, not to mention that the morale of the original inhabitants of the Japanese army is already very low.

On the first day of the war, the Han army mostly carried out tentative attacks, on the one hand, they were familiar with the fighting methods of the Japanese people, and on the other hand, they also had to look for their weaknesses.

Defense is like this, no matter how strong the defense line is, there will be weaknesses and loopholes, these things are usually not seen, and only when the fight starts, can they be exposed.

The Japanese people hiding in the fortress did not have to suffer from the damage of the Han army's crossbow arrows, and the trenches and tunnels were more effective in avoiding the damage of the trebuchet, but in the same way, as long as the Han army did not come forward, the Japanese people could only stare dryly, as for the artillery, the Han army had already had a way to avoid the damage of artillery.

So, at the beginning, the Han army only built a fortress within the firing range, and then shot at the Japanese people from a distance, in fact, neither side made any achievements, on the surface, the Han army also had no way to take the Japanese people!

It's just that the fortress is dead, but the people are alive, not to mention that the Han people have extremely rich war experience that no country in the world has, plus their smart and flexible minds, even if these huge fortress groups that the Japanese people are proud of, I am afraid they will not be able to stop the Han army from advancing. To be continued...
