Chapter 406: Japan in the Decisive Battle on Home

While the Germans were thinking about their future survival, far away in the East, Japan, a seemingly forgotten corner of the war, the crazy Japanese were still actively preparing for their own defense.

Japan has been defeated, and Shenzhou is in a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese Army.

The Red Alert Empire had defeated the Soviets, and Japan was surrounded by all of them.

Japan, which could not accept the terms of surrender of the Red Alert Empire, tried to prepare for the day when the Red Alert Empire landed on its homeland.

From the very beginning, however, the Red Alert Empire did not seem to have any intention of landing on the Japanese mainland.

When the war against the Soviet Union broke out in the Red Alert Empire, the Xuanwu Fleet of the Fourth Theater had already completely blockaded the entire Japan and adopted an unrestricted mine blockade of all the coastlines of Japan.

For most of the past six months, the Xuanwu Fleet has deployed more than 10 million mines in all coastal areas of the Japanese mainland, using strategic transport aircraft and bombers, as well as a large number of warships and ships.

These mines made Japan completely isolated, and all of Japan's domestic industries were devastated.

Industries that were not destroyed had to stop work because they ran out of raw materials.

However, the Red Alert Empire did not underestimate the determination and strength of the Japanese to defend because of this, no matter how it was, Japan was once strong, and even if its comprehensive national strength and potential were seriously depleted in the war, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and once Japan decided to fight on its own soil, its combat capability and difficulty would be extremely difficult to deal with.

Compared to the Soviets, the tenacious Japanese, it is like a kraft candy, it is too disgusting.

Even a modern army will face huge losses once it is caught in the sea of all-out war.

The Iraq War in the 21 st century is the best proof of this.

And the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was the same result.

Japan had lost all its navy and air force, and the responsibility for the decisive battle at home fell on the Japanese.

Japan, which could not accept the terms of surrender, believed that if it caused a large number of casualties to the enemy in a decisive battle on its own soil, it would force the enemy to lower the terms of surrender.

To this end, the Japanese base camp also actively developed a comprehensive battle plan to assess where the Red Alert Empire might land.

Japan focused its war readiness on the Kanto region and the Kyushu region. It is required to launch a bold ground offensive against the enemy who has landed, and strive for a quick victory.

When concentrating forces, it was expected that the Red Alert Empire's air force would disrupt communications, so the plan was based on the premise of marching on foot; But if the situation allows, of course, you have to use railways and ships.

The general armed forces of the state should be carried out to deal with the enemy who landed with all the forces of the army, officials and people. It is necessary not only to carry out decisive battles among the corps, but also to cooperate with guerrilla warfare, and to carry out guerrilla activities, such as guerrilla, reconnaissance, deception, and obstruction of camping, with divisional units and garrisons (organized by soldiers in the townships) and the organization of officers and people's volunteers.

Carry out a large-scale mobilization of troops on the mainland, and gather most of the veterans in the territory to form new divisions, starting from the 200th for the decisive battle division, and from the 300th for the coastal equipping division.

The mobilized force includes about 2.4 million troops in the army and navy, plus a total of 3.8 million in the original army, and the above-mentioned Japanese defense forces in China are 72 divisions (including 8 aviation divisions) and 35 brigades.

Aviation combat effectiveness: about 10,000 aircraft (about 75% of which are special attack aircraft converted from trainer aircraft), and maritime special attack combat strength: about 3,300 boats. In addition, there are 28 million members of the National Volunteer Corps.

When the landing operation of the Red Alert Empire begins, after the ships are anchored at sea, all the suicide planes will be fully loaded with ammunition, and up to 6,000 suicide planes will launch non-stop suicide attacks day and night against the warships landed by the Red Alert Imperial Navy, in order to kill and damage the living forces of the Red Alert Imperial Navy to the greatest extent and disrupt the landing operation.

For this reason, Japan also completely abandoned the development of jet fighters, and instead installed jet propulsion on a large number of suicide planes, strengthened the structure of the aircraft, and rushed towards the enemy at the maximum speed, so that the enemy did not have time to intercept and inflict heavy losses on the enemy.

In order to accomplish this plan, Japan has built a large number of secret airfields in the past six months, totaling more than 400 airfields, and hundreds of airfields have been built in the belly of the mountains to avoid being attacked by the Red Alert Empire.

And the Japanese prepared thousands of spy ships, including a large number of spy submarines, these submarines are operated by only one person, and they are also used to sneak attack the surface warships of the Red Alert Imperial Navy.

In order to avoid the superior naval artillery fire of the Red Alert Imperial Navy, the Japanese Army also dug caves and built underground trenches on the high ground behind the coastline to prepare for the landing troops.

The Japanese Army's large number of homegrown decisive battle tanks were also hidden in these fixed underground bunkers.

To this end, the Japanese also formed a large number of artillery groups, tank groups, air force groups, anti-tank groups, as well as a large number of machine-gun fire groups, and developed various tactics including defense, counterattack, assault on the beachhead, etc.

At this last moment of survival, Japanese industry also bloomed for the last time, producing a large amount of army equipment, and many steel and household irons were reheated, producing many tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and even self-propelled guns.

With practical actions, Japan wanted to make the enemy who was preparing to land pay an unbearable price of casualties.

You must know that many of those units in Japan are elite divisions and regiments belonging to Japan, and many of them are elite soldiers from the Kwantung Army.

Equipped with a large number of Type 100 submachine guns, a division has thousands of rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition, as well as a large number of light and heavy machine guns, flamethrowers plus grenadiers and artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, and the combat power is not weak.

Moreover, in Japan, there are still many tanks and combat vehicles that have been used, and many of these tanks and combat vehicles have been produced in the last year or two, not because they do not want to be transported, but after the outbreak of the war, Japan's maritime transportation capacity has been greatly reduced, and it cannot be transported at all, and they have also become a sharp weapon for the decisive battle at home.

Japan has a large number of weapons and ammunition on its own soil, and it is much easier than in the Pacific theater, where everything depends on transportation.

According to a comprehensive investigation by the Red Guard Corps, Japan has at least more than 20,000 large-caliber artillery pieces, tens of thousands of grenadiers, more than 70 million shells of various types, and more than 1.5 million tons of weapons and ammunition combined.

In the face of Japan, which was desperate, the Red Guard Corps also gave up its landing plan on the Japanese mainland early, but Japan was not aware of this and was still actively preparing for war in an attempt to change the fate of Japan in the future.
