The war lasted for three months, and none of them really recuperated.

The Red Guard, which has been attacking all along, seems to be not tired of capturing Japanese cities one after another.

In this era when there was no concept of guerrilla warfare at all, the Japanese all concentrated on the tactics of defending the city, which saved the Red Guard a lot of time.

On the Japanese side, on the other hand, although the slogans were shouted very lively, due to the lack of war materials, the time for defensive preparations, and the training of soldiers were far from enough.

In just three months of fighting, at least a quarter of Japan's population was killed or wounded in the war.

Especially on the island of Kyushu, where most of the area is controlled, there are no Japanese people left in the entire island of Kyushu, and there are dilapidated cities everywhere, deserted and uninhabited.

The terrible three-light policy has turned Japanese towns and cities into ghost towns.

Three months later, the Battle of Shimonoseki began, when the Japanese were not yet completely prepared, and the hundreds of thousands of so-called Japanese troops gathered in and around Shimonoseki Castle were actually not even a third of the soldiers armed with rifles.

Under the blows of barbed wire and heavy machine guns, coupled with dense artillery, the war has since bid farewell to the era of human warfare.

The Japanese, and even Gonbei Yamamoto, believed that with the huge population of Japan itself, millions of troops could be called up at any time, and it was completely possible to stop all the enemies.

However, under the machine-gun bullets of the Red Police Corps, this tactic of relying on numbers to win is extremely ridiculous.

The Battle of Shimonoseki undoubtedly ended once again with a complete defeat for Japan.

And the battle lasted only about a week from the beginning to the end, and the battle was over.

The fleeing Japanese army left behind Shimonoseki Castle and a large area of surrounding land, as well as a large number of old and young women and children.

Next, Japan's war on Honshu Island was almost entirely one-sided, with the Second Army and the Fourth Army attacking all the Japanese on Honshu Island from east to west.

Cities were abandoned, and large numbers of Japanese fled to the central part of the island.

At this time, even if Yamamoto Gonbei doesn't want to see it anymore, he can only prepare for the final decisive battle.

To this end, Gonbei Yamamoto made a final broadcast to the whole of Japan, claiming that he would hold out in Kyoto until the last moment with all the people.

At the same time, on the Korean battlefield, Daesanam commanded the Korean dispatch army to join the Red Guard Third Army in Pyongyang, and held the Joseon king hostage, allowing the nearby Joseon Dynasty troops to come to support the battle.

Although Dashan Am was very capable of commanding and was also a forward-looking general with a very forward-looking war model, he encountered the heavily armed Third Army Corps, and the Korean Dispatch Army was now very short of ammunition and artillery shells, and it was difficult to resist the all-out attack of the Third Army Corps.

As a result, the king of the Joseon Dynasty who was held hostage was directly frightened to death, and the army of the Joseon Dynasty, which had no fight, directly collapsed, and even many Korean soldiers turned their guns to attack the Japanese who murdered the king.

By the time the Third Army Corps arrived in Pyongyang, Pyongyang was already in chaos inside and outside, and the Third Army Corps, which had taken advantage of the opportunity to attack with a large army, successfully eliminated the Korean dispatch army.

Oyama Iwa was also killed by a shell during the battle, along with many high-ranking generals in the headquarters of the dispatch army.

The Korean dispatch army was quickly wiped out, and the royal families of the Joseon Dynasty who were held hostage by Japan were all killed by the Japanese in the battle, and Korea fell into a stage of ownerlessness for a while.

At the same time, the Third Army was declared to be under its control, taking advantage of the violent social turmoil in Korea to proclaim a large number of legal provisions.

However, because the Third Army wanted to control Korea, the Third Army had no time to separate itself and could not directly support the 1st and 4th Field Divisions in Vladivostok.

When the Third Army and the Korean Dispatch Army fought a decisive battle in Pyongyang, the Japanese First Army and the Second Army outside Vladivostok frantically launched an attack on Vladivostok when they could not return home.

However, without artillery support, the two Japanese armies carried out a decisive charge almost every day, and as a result, the two armies also lost more than half of their combat capability within half a month after the end of the Pyongyang campaign.

And because they no longer received material support from the North Korean army, the first and second armies were no longer able to have enough food, and all the ammunition was empty.

On this day, a large number of Japanese officers of the First Army and the Second Army were collectively sanctioned, and a small number of soldiers also apologized, and most of the Japanese soldiers still chose to surrender.

The battle of Vladivostok came to an end, and the last battle on the island of Honshu was on the verge of breaking out.

Shikoku Island had been fully occupied by the 1st Red Alert Army, and before the Battle of Kyoto, the main force of the 1st Army entered Honshu Island and joined the main force of the 2nd Army 80 kilometers north of Kyoto.

The combined 1st and 2nd Army Corps, after replenishing a part of the combat attrition, had a main force of 150,000 and were organized into seven field infantry divisions, two field artillery divisions, and one cavalry division.

After the 4th Army moved west to capture Nagoya, it joined forces to advance into Kyoto, and with one of the 2nd Army Corps, successfully captured Osaka, encircling Kyoto, the last city on the island of Honshu, on three sides.

To the northeast of Kyoto is Lake Biwa, Japan's largest inland lake, which means that Kyoto is surrounded on all sides.

The reason why the Red Guard Corps' attack on Honshu Island was able to be so fast was also because Yamamoto Gonbei took the initiative to shrink his defense.

In Kyoto, Yamamoto Gonbei gathered a million troops, as well as millions of Japanese, and constantly built defensive positions every day, and the arsenal in the city produced a steady stream of various weapons and equipment.

Gonbei Yamamoto, who had seen the situation clearly, already understood that Japan could no longer care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and as long as it could destroy the living forces of the invaders as much as possible, Japan would still have a chance.

With more than a million Japanese troops, a few million laborers, and the materials and industry that had been gathered together, Kyoto was built into a fortress in a matter of months.

All kinds of artillery positions were protected with concrete, and in the three directions of the Kyoto defense center, a huge depth of more than 30 kilometers and a width of 5 kilometers was built.

Trenches and barbed wire were everywhere, and Yamamoto Gonbei used the combat skills of the Red Police Corps in a flexible imitation.

The most important thing is that Yamamoto Gonbei, who carried out the vertical wall clearing, concentrated most of the food and supplies on the island of Honshu in Kyoto.

and sent a war letter to Fan Yize, wanting the invaders to sink in the sand here in Kyoto, which will also be the last battle for Fan Yize to fully conquer Japan.
