Chapter 117: Strategies for Dominating Japan
In the morning, having the simplest breakfast with all the soldiers of the fleet, the latest battle report came from Vladivostok.
Xu Yanwu did not choose to defend, but adopted the tactics of taking the initiative to attack and launched an active offensive against the Japanese Third Army.
This was a bit unexpected by Fan Yize, but he did not interfere with the command of the front-line general, but patiently waited for the battle report.
After all, here in Tokyo Bay, the specific situation in Vladivostok is not known, and Fan Yize believes that Xu Yanwu launched an active offensive without waiting for the arrival of the heavy equipment of the First Division, and there must be something to consider.
This is not only Fan Yize's trust in Xu Yanwu's command ability and battlefield control ability, but also his trust in the First Division.
Although the elite soldiers selected carefully and layer by layer are not as good as the professional special forces, on the battlefield in this period, every soldier can be called the king of soldiers.
The First Division of the Army, which is also one of the ace units of the Red Alert specially built by Fan Yize, is much better than the soldiers from the First Army to the Third Army.
In the battle report sent by Xu Yanwu, it was stated that in the first round of attack, the Japanese Third Army successfully occupied the artillery positions and destroyed 300 artillery pieces.
Although he paid the price of two or three hundred casualties, Fan Yize also felt that it was worth it.
If we can't find a way to destroy these 300 guns, once these 300 guns have a chance to play, the first division will have more casualties.
And after taking out the artillery of the Japanese, the initiative on the battlefield also fell into the hands of the 1st Division.
As stated in the report, the Japanese Third Army had been compressed by artillery fire on the camp and defensive line, and the First Division did not storm the Third Army, but fired cold guns on the periphery of the Japanese positions to kill and wound the enemy as effectively as possible.
After the navy cleared the harbor of mines and the 1st Division had heavy equipment, it would choose an opportunity to launch a general attack on the 3rd Army.
There is only one reply to Fan Yize's reply, don't be greedy for merit, and don't be timid.
It means that Xu Yanwu, if there is a good opportunity, don't miss it, but if the time is not ripe, there is no need to attack.
When the latest battle report came from the First Division, the Second Army Corps and the First Army Corps also had the latest results.
The Second Army succeeded in capturing the Nagasaki Garrison, and all the Japanese defenders of the Nagasaki Garrison had been completely annihilated, and successfully took control of the main area around the port of Nagasaki.
The 1st Army also achieved great results, with the help of Sasebo to annihilate the cavalry wing of the Sasebo Town, and then ambushed the Sasebo Town's troops supporting the port along the way, and at the same time, some troops made a detour and captured the Sasebo Town.
By the time the battle report arrived in Fan Yize's hands, the battle was over, and the First Army Corps, having left a battalion of troops, launched a radiation attack on the surrounding major Japanese cities according to the original plan.
According to the tactics formulated by Ling Liang, there was no need for the First Army Corps and the Second Army Corps to fight steadily. The main goal is to completely eliminate Japan's living forces.
Because most of the Japanese will not be willing to accept the absolute rule of an invader, the only way to rule Japan is to make the whole of Japan completely lose the ability to resist, so that the Red Guard Corps can rest assured that it can deal with Russia.
However, it will take a lot of time to make the 40 million people in Japan lose their ability to resist, and it will take a lot of time to use moderate means under normal means and circumstances, and it is not possible to rule out hidden worries within society, and rebellious Japanese will appear at any time.
Therefore, the gentle means were thrown into the trash without any need to bring them to the discussion table.
If you don't use gentle means, the rest is very simple, and that is violence.
Just like ruling the East Indies, Fan Yize will not put down the butcher's knife, but he will not kill all the Japanese.
This world, after all, will become the future resource base of the Red Guard Corps, considering that there will be a wide range of Siberia and Australia in the future, Fan Yize feels that the labor force is a bit insufficient to rely on the remaining millions of Javanese.
But Fan Yize, who requires absolute control of the ruling area, will not be merciful.
Fortunately, Japan during this period was far from the time of World War II and had not yet reached the level of brainwashing by the whole people, which also eased a lot of work for the Red Police Corps.
In fact, the attitude of Japanese society towards war during this period was very contradictory, especially for those recruits who stepped into the barracks during the war, and their hearts were even more complicated.
Even as they arrived at the train station as they made their way from the military base to Hiroshima, the port of departure on their way to the Asian continent, their war diaries did not express much nationalism.
Despite the Japanese government's hype about the new concept of "honorably dying" for the emperor, secret correspondence showed that soldiers fought not out of loyalty to the national government but more out of a sense of obligation to their families and their local communities.
In their eyes, the sight of dying on a battlefield far from home is lonely and tragic.
Before the Battle of Tsushima broke out, more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers died directly, and of the nearly 200,000 Japanese soldiers wounded, 50,000 died of their wounds.
This has made a large number of Japanese families fragmented, which is why some people throw garbage, even tiles and stones, at Nogi Noshinori's house.
Just like the Yasukuni Shrine, which was built in 1869, the Yasukuni Shrine built in Tokyo to honor the spirit of the dead in the national war is not very important to many Japanese families. Their activities to pay tribute to relatives who died in the war are instead centered around local memorials.
And the attitudes of the so-called elites and wealthy classes in Japan, as well as the attitudes of politicians, as well as the propaganda of various media, have concealed the most basic national sentiments.
Fan Yize will not kill the whole of Japan with a single shot, of course, in the spirit of absolute security, it is inevitable that there will be a large number of innocent casualties, which is unavoidable.
After all, the base car does not have a psychic detector, so it is impossible to understand every Japanese person from the heart, otherwise, it will be much easier.
The 1st and 2nd Army Corps, which were clearly instructed, had the goal of destroying all Japanese agriculture and industry at the root, leaving all the Japanese homeless and without food to live on, just as they did with the Javanese, and if they did not cooperate, they could only starve to death.
If you want to complete this kind of absolute domination, you need to have enough food support, but fortunately, the most important thing in the base is this kind of basic living conditions, not to mention just raising tens of millions of people, even if it is to feed hundreds of billions of people, it is easy and stress-free.
