If Fan Yize was given another chance and knew that the old guy Yamamoto Gonbei was in Yokosuka, then he would definitely not let go of the opportunity to kill this old guy.

People like Katsura Taro are completely useless to Fan Yize, even if they can still be active in Japan, they are not too much of a threat to the Red Police Corps.

However, Yamamoto Gonbei is different, not only does he have absolute prestige in the military, but many retired skilled generals in Japan will also come forward to re-enter the service.

The main thing is that Gonbei Yamamoto is a general with great strategic vision and leadership skills, not a politician who only spends money in the military, or a prince who simply does not understand anything.

In Fan Yize's view, the existence of Yamamoto Gonbei poses a danger to the Red Police Corps more than ten elite Japanese divisions.

With the presence of Yamamoto Gonbei, those Japanese soldiers will quickly form combat effectiveness, which is very unfavorable to the Red Guard Corps from the perspective of the military balance of the two sides of the war.

As Gonbei Yamamoto thought, the First and Second Legions combined were only a little over 200,000 men, and how could they be the opponents of 44 million Japanese.

Covered in iron, and able to grind a few nails.

Of course, on the other hand, there is no regret medicine in the world, and the Red Police Corps cannot be exhaustive, and Yamamoto Gonbei is regarded as a training exercise for the Red Police Corps.

No matter how Japan struggles, in terms of strategic steps, Fan Yize is enough to despise Japan as an opponent.

Fortunately, the war was not an overnight thing, and Yamamoto Gonbei could not pose a great threat to Tokyo and the First and Second Army Corps in a short time.

Fan Yize ordered the Tokyo side and the Kyushu Island side to continue to follow the plan, fight steadily, and be ready to face the Japanese counterattack.

At the same time, he also ordered the Fourth Division to immediately go to Vladivostok to support the First Division, and the Third Army Corps immediately took action to contain the main force of the Japanese Dispatch Army in Korea and provide direct assistance to the First Division in the total annihilation of the Japanese Third Army.

The latest order for the Navy was also conveyed to the Second and Third Fleets.

The Third Fleet in Tokyo Bay immediately went into action to carry out a total destruction of Japanese industry in the Tokyo Bay area.

The Second Fleet immediately entered the Seto Inland Sea and destroyed Japan's second largest industrial complex.

During this period, Japan's industry was mainly concentrated around Tokyo Bay, as well as in the Seto Inland Sea region and the Kitakyushu region.

In these two places, 90 percent of Japan's industry is concentrated, and 70 percent of Japan's military industry is also concentrated in these places.

As long as the fleet can destroy these industrial cities at the first time, the potential of Japan's domestic operations will be greatly reduced.

Otherwise, the Japanese will continue to produce weapons and equipment.

The Second Fleet immediately set out from Sasebo, and the first target was Kitakyushu, and then from Kitakyushu it entered the Seto Inland Sea and attacked the two important cities of Kobe and Osaka.

The Third Fleet will soon attack Yokohama, which is on the edge of Tokyo, and then go out of Tokyo Bay to attack the industrial area of Nagoya.

It's just that Fan Yize knows very well that with the firepower and operational efficiency of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, if Japan desperately saves it, there is still a chance to move part of its industrial equipment and raw materials inland.

There is no way to do this, Japan's industrial areas are scattered, and it seems that there are only a few places, but in fact they are connected together.

Japan, an island nation, has a sense of distress and has left many things behind, and this is the case with industry.

As long as the Japanese industry is destroyed as much as possible, Fan Yize does not have the luxury of completely destroying the Japanese industry.

As much as you can destroy, the more the merrier.

This bloody war can no longer be stopped, and it is difficult to completely wipe out a country with a single blow without more advanced weapons and equipment.

Anyway, the Red Guard Corps is also ready to fight on the Japanese mainland for a long time, and it is not afraid of how many waves the Japanese will make.

"If I were Gonbei Yamamoto, I would move the headquarters to a place away from the threat of naval artillery as soon as possible, and the same is true for industry, and before moving industry, I would place a large number of mines on the sea in all major industrial concentration areas to block the enemy's naval superiority, and move as many industrial equipment as possible to a safe place."

Xu Xuebin, commander of the Third Fleet, said to Fan Yize when he ordered the fleet to set off for Yokohama.

"Generals with a bit of brains will do this, although our speed is already very fast, but in the era of aviation, it is still impossible to inflict huge losses on Japanese industry in time." Fan Yize didn't know what Yamamoto Gonbei would do.

For an experienced general like Gonbei Yamamoto, it was not at all surprising that such a decision was made.

Japan is an island nation and attaches great importance to the navy and, of course, to threats from the sea.

Mines are cheap weapons that are very powerful, and they are very useful for blockading ports.

After all, in order to facilitate maritime transportation, coastal industry has become the best choice in this era of very backward land transportation.

Japan, which does not have a navy, has no scruples and takes out all the mines in reserve to block the sea areas of major cities, and the Red Alert Navy really does not dare to approach casually.

After all, mines are terrible, and even under the conditions of modern information warfare, they still have the ability to sink or damage modern warships.

Although every fleet of the Red Alert Navy has professional minesweeping warships, mines, like mines, are very difficult to remove, and under the premise that there are no dolphins, the risk of minesweepers clearing mines is not small, and there is also a risk that minesweepers are not clean.

Especially those mines that are specifically aimed at large ships, it is okay to see a warship of several thousand tons passing by, but once a warship of 10,000 tons passes, the draft is deep enough, then it is GG.

A powerful mine, one could take a battleship out of battle.

The Red Guard Navy could not afford to lose.

Moreover, it is very simple to arrange mines, and it is not necessary to have warships, as long as there are ships that can transport mines.

Japan is not short of ships, and it only takes a few days to be able to block a large area of the sea, and it is even possible to directly block several shipping lanes in the entire Seto Inland Sea.

It's not absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Fan Yize demanded that the Second Fleet should act quickly and must reach Kitakyushu as soon as possible, because Kitakyushu not only has a large number of heavy industries in Japan, but also has a shipping route to the Seto Inland Sea.

At the same time, as Xu Xuebin said, Yamamoto Gonbei also ordered Japan's remaining navy to place mines in the ports of major industrial cities, hoping for a surprise.
