Wang Yizhe has also received orders from Jiang Qiang and Tang Juwu to begin preparations for the recovery of the three eastern provinces, and the commander-in-chief of the three eastern provinces this time is Wang Yizhe, chief of staff Zhang Yanshu, and general logistics support Huang Xiansheng.

Hirohito and his Empress Yoshiko were walking in the snow and enjoying the plum blossoms in the garden of the Imperial Palace, Hirohito was wearing a black shirt with a diagonal tie and a thick coat on the outside, and the whole person looked like an old farmer from the countryside who had entered the city, which was the 'old farmer' who was not very good at the moment.

Empress Liangzi bent slightly and followed behind half a step behind, and there were a few more behind them

Officer V was following behind with a food box. Hirohito walked to a plum blossom that was in full bloom and suddenly said, "Liangzi, there is an old saying among the people of China: The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold." It means that the sharp edge of the sword is obtained from constant sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the fact that it has survived the cold winter. After so much suffering, why can't we have a piece of wealth of our own? Why is Manchuria, which we have sacrificed countless soldiers and shed countless blood, to be spied on? Could it be that Amaterasu thinks that we haven't put in enough effort? ”

Liangzi bowed slightly before saying: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't know about these military affairs, but the concubines know that Your Majesty is working hard for the prosperity of the empire, and she has devoted almost all her time to this, and those ministers and heroic soldiers outside are also working hard for the future of the empire!" Hirohito smiled slightly bitterly, "Ryoko, you will comfort me, now that the situation in Manchuria is unfavorable, Tojo Hideki has mobilized 500,000 troops to attack Rehe, claiming that he will definitely conquer Rehe and reach Chifeng, but I am a little uneasy about the third son of Tojo Eiko's family for some reason." ”

Empress Ryoko looked at her husband, who had lost weight because she was worried about the war in Manchuria in the past few days, and felt distressed for a while, and comforted her softly, "Your Majesty, as the son of an important minister of the empire, Tojo-kun's knowledge and accomplishment must be first-class, so why should you worry?" Hirohito shook his head, "I can still trust Hideki Tojo's loyalty to the empire, but the ability ......" Speaking of this, Hirohito will not say any more, after all, it is not the ability of a courtier to criticize behind his back.

"What a rich place Manchuria is, the land there can be pinched out of oil with a hand, and the hundreds of millions of citizens of the empire have worked hard for nearly a hundred years to occupy Manchuria, and now it must not be lost in my hands!" Hirohito secretly clenched his fingers and said with determination. The sound of "boom" was heard, and a female officer trotted over to Hirohito's side and bowed to report, "Your Majesty, Senior General Tada, Vice Minister of the War Department, asks to see you." ”

"Call him over!" Hirohito stood up and asked Empress Ryoko to sort out his clothes so that he could look more energetic.

After a while, Tada Jun strode in with a female officer, and bowed ninety degrees after seeing Hirohito: "Your Majesty, General Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, and Lieutenant General Ishihara Waner, deputy chief of the general staff, have sent a joint telegram, claiming that Manchuria has reached the most dangerous time, and they request that the lost planes of the First Manchurian Flying Division be replenished as soon as possible, and that another flying division be mobilized from the mainland to be stationed in Manchuria, otherwise Manchuria will be in danger." ”

"Manchuria is in danger." Hirohito muttered: "Manchuria has more than 2 million expatriates and 900,000 soldiers, is it still no match for a mere Wang Yizhe?" Is it the warriors of the empire who have become cowardly? Or Wang Yizhe is too strong. ”

"Your Majesty!" Tada Jun bowed again before saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, since ancient times, there has been no easy hegemony, which monarch who has achieved immortal hegemony is not a king who kills people?" Your Majesty's benevolent heart is indeed worth learning from your ministers, but this is not the time to feel this woman's kindness, what the empire needs is Your Majesty's determination and courage to kill, only in this way can you lead the people of the empire to a broader world! ”

Tadajun's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, but Hirohito was unmoved, he knew the deputy commander of the army too well, and he would not nag him so bitterly about things without a clear purpose.

Hirohito waved his hand absently: "Say, what is the matter with your visit this time?" "Hello!" Tada Jun took out another piece of music from his body, and respectfully took two steps forward and raised it above his head. "Your Majesty, please!"

A female officer took the piece from Tada's hand and presented it to Hirohito, who opened it and frowned after looking at it for a while, "Is it that Ishihara's piece again?" ”

"Hello!" Tada Jun hurriedly took two steps forward and explained: "The minister thinks that Ishihara-kun's words are still quite reasonable, and now mobilize the navy to rush to the vicinity of Vladivostok to show the force of the Great Japanese Empire, so that those people know that even if they have temporarily achieved a small victory on land, the strength of the Great Japanese Empire is still far from being matched by them." After our combined fleet arrives near Vladivostok, it can monitor the movement of Vladivostok, and it can play a deterrent role, and if there is any change in Vladivostok, we can use our carrier-based aircraft and fleet to bombard their ports, which has achieved our goal of containment, so that the Kwantung Army in Jilin can rest assured that the Imperial Army is fighting fiercely in Tongliao! ”

Hirohito sighed and gave the female officer behind him, "But at once, two aircraft carriers and two battleships of Nagamurai will be dispatched, and even four heavy cruisers and many light cruisers and destroyers will be matched with them, and so on. This is equivalent to one-third of the entire strength of the Imperial Navy, isn't he afraid of any mistakes? ”

"Your Majesty!" Since it involves the navy, Tada Jun has no scruples when he speaks, "The army is expanding the territory of the empire, shouldn't the navy contribute?" What's more, it's just a containment, and it's not a desperate effort to let them go ashore and the army in China. ”

Looking at Tada's sneering gaze and disdain when he mentioned the navy, Hirohito sighed secretly in his heart, for the sake of consolidating his dominance, should the navy and army be so hostile?

Helplessly waved his hand to change the subject, "Okay, Qing's recital I will think about it carefully." I've heard that the air force in China is very powerful, and the air force of the empire has suffered a lot at their hands one after another, isn't that so? ”

"Hello, yes!" When the topic of the Air Force was mentioned, even Tada Jun, who had always been conceited, lowered his head in shame, "The ministers have failed to live up to Your Majesty's expectations, the current aircraft of the Empire are indeed not the opponents of the China Aircraft, and the several aircraft of the China are the most advanced aircraft in the world today, and the Empire's aircraft are indeed outdated." But rest assured, Your Majesty, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of the Empire was already designing a new type of fighter last year, and thanks to the new 50 wind metal, this aluminum alloy is said to be harder than steel, so the development of this aircraft has been greatly accelerated. His designer, Mr. Jiro Horikoshi, assured that as long as this new type of aircraft was added, the planes of the empire would continue to dominate the skies of China. The thought of the new aircraft coming into service made Tada excited.

After listening to Tada's words, Hirohito was not as excited as Tada: "Tadaqing, I think that the outcome of the war cannot be decided by just one or two planes, so you better focus more on business!" Well, I'm tired! With that, Hirohito turned his head.

Seeing this, the female officer next to him trotted over and bowed to Tadajun, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, Tada Jun sighed, bowed slightly to Hirohito's back, and went out with the female officer.

"Woo woo Japan's Sasebo port, an aircraft carrier is slowly approaching the dock, on the deck are neatly placed two rows of fighters Mitsubishi 96 carrier-based fighters, the captain of the aircraft carrier Akagi Ugaki and the commander of the First Fleet of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku is looking on the deck at a tall fence surrounded by tall hoarding on the dock, inside is a giant, unfinished hull.

"Alas!" Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at the countless shipbuilders who were busy inside and let out a long sigh, his melancholy face seemed to be even colder, "The empire has spent countless manpower and material resources for this ship, but in the end, it can only get a huge target?" ”

"Yamamoto-kun, please be careful!" Ugaki on the side looked around in fright, and when he saw that no one was talented, he hurriedly whispered: "Yamamoto-kun, this giant ship has poured the efforts of His Majesty and countless people, if it spreads, Your Excellency's trouble will definitely be indispensable." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six glared at Ugaki, "Hmph, don't say it's here, even when I go to His Majesty's Imperial Council, I'll say the same, but Ugaki-kun, why did you become so cautious?" It's not like you, who are fearless on a daily basis. ”

Ugaki smiled bitterly, "Yamamoto-kun, you don't know that the Akagi lost too many fighters in the Battle of Guangdong last year, which caused the base camp to have a bad impression of me, if it weren't for Your Excellency, I might not even be able to keep the position of captain of the Akagi." I really don't want to cause you any more trouble. ”

Yamamoto sneered: "You are not the only one who has lost troops, Commander Umezu, Vice Minister Tada, and Commander Matsui have not lost their troops, and who has been punished?" A few people even went up to the top, so why didn't anyone jump out and say they were going to punish them? ”

Ugaki was silent for a while before he said sullenly: "I'm just a nameless boy born in this poor place in Okayama County, how dare I compare with those nobles?" Just as they can meet the emperor at any time, the grace is beyond the reach of those of us. ”

"Alas....." Yamamoto just let out a long sigh and stopped talking, the headquarters of the 41st Group of the Tongliao Front, "Report!" Chief of Staff Zhang Tingshu called! Chang Jingwu looked at the map hanging on the wall and said, "Read! "Our 41st and 46th Infantry Divisions were ordered to launch a counteroffensive against the enemy in Zhangwu, but they were stubbornly blocked by the enemy's 47th and 57th Divisions.

"Yes!" Chang Jingwu turned around slowly, he hadn't slept for half a month, his face still had the cyan color of sleepless people and the bloodshot in his eyes, but his spirit was still so vibrant.

"Stubborn resistance? It seems that the little devil is also planning to resist to the end, and now your retreat has been cut off by the airborne regiment, I see what else you are fighting with us. In that case, I'll add a fire to the fire! Chang Jingwu muttered to himself for a while and then immediately said: "Order the 3rd Bomber Squadron of the Air Force to rush to support Zhangwu immediately, and then send a telegram to Wang Yizhe's headquarters, requesting to increase air support and send another bombing group to support, we will bomb the little devils here until they are afraid to hear the sound of our plane." ”

"Boom ....."

In the sky above Tongliao, dozens of fighters can be seen flying up and down in the sky at any time, and in order to support the war in Tongliao, Wang Yizhe sent almost all the Flying Eagle 4 bombers in Harbin and Qiqihar. More than 300 Flying Eagles4 bombarded the Japanese ground positions in turns, and countless heavy aerial bombs fell from the sky, blowing up the Japanese troops unspeakably, and a telegram urging for help flew like snowflakes towards the Kwantung Army headquarters. There was only one line on the telegram, 'Airplanes, we need a lot of planes!' ’

At this time, on the outskirts of Dalin, on the temporary position of the airborne regiments, the airborne troops were resisting the brigade-level attack launched by the Japanese army. These Japanese troops were not the 27th Division from Qianjiadian, but the 78th Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was independently mixed from Liaoyuan, and the brigade commander, Major General Hiramoto Kamigen, rushed from Liaoyuan on an urgent order from Hideki Tojo, but the railroad was damaged a lot by bombers from the Seventh Theater of Operations, and it took nearly two days to stumble upon the 200-kilometer distance while walking.

As soon as he arrived at Dalin, he ordered his troops to launch an attack quickly, only to find that this unit was not a fuel-efficient lamp, both in terms of tactical movements and weapons and equipment were first-class, and almost everyone had a 95 assault rifle, but there were very few rifles. But don't think that they don't have much long-range firepower, and the dense machine-gun sound with the sound of tearing oilcloths on the position is like an invitation from the Grim Reaper.

Looking at the wounded soldiers who were carried down and placed next to the field bandaging station, Major General Kamigen Heimoto, who was originally eager to make meritorious contributions, couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart. Could it be that the fighting power of the people of China is already so strong now, and they suffered more than 1,000 casualties in an attack in one afternoon, and such heavy casualties were only encountered when attacking Lushun back then.

Looking up at the sky that was about to darken, Shanggen Heimoto exhaled softly, the day has finally passed, and I can finally rest for a night. "Blow the trumpet and order the troops to stop the attack!" The sound of the retreating military trumpets floated over the battlefield that was somewhat dimly smoked by gunpowder, and the Japanese troops who heard the trumpets quickly alternated with each other to cover their retreat, without the slightest sign of panic.

A soldier on the position of the airborne regiment said with some pity: "Company commander, don't look at these little devils as they lost the battle, but when they retreated, they were really unambiguous and orderly, and it was difficult for us to take advantage." ”

"That's it!" Su Haicheng chewed on the grass roots that he pulled out of nowhere in his mouth, put them in his mouth and slowly rotated, "Don't be underestimated little devils, even if we have the upper hand, we have to be careful, little Japan can't be measured by common sense, the closer they are to failure, the more crazy they are!" ”

It was finally dark, and both the offensive and defensive sides began to bury their pots and cook, enjoying a rare leisure time, and no one would provoke each other without interest. This kind of thing is still very rare before the advent of individual night vision equipment. Generally, the commanders of both sides will restrain their soldiers with more restraint when nothing happens, so as not to fight a confused battle in the dark light.

After dinner, Chang Jingwu sat under a big tree and looked at the faint flash of fire in the distance, and slowly pondered in his heart. After dawn, the Japanese attack will definitely become more and more fierce, because as long as they block the passage here for five to seven days, the Japanese army on the Tongliao front line will fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food, so for the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, the Japanese army will definitely launch an attack at all costs in the next two days, can their 5,000 people withstand the desperate attack of the Japanese army?

In the war room of the Harbin Heilongjiang Military Region Headquarters, the female soldiers of the communications company were sitting next to a row of radio stations, sending and receiving telegrams incessantly, and the sound of "ticking and ticking" was endless.

Wang Yizhe stood next to him, nervously watching the progress of the front line, this is a huge battle, due to the Heilongjiang has also increased the number of troops, at this time the total strength of the two sides has approached 800,000. Not only the front line of Tongliao and Zhangwu, but the troops sent by Wang Yizhe have even sent several divisions to go around the Japanese army, faintly forming a not very tight encirclement, just waiting for the Japanese army to show defeat and immediately pounce on it like a hungry wolf.

"Report, Hao Ming, commander of the Third Armored Division, reported that now the Third Armored Division has caught up with the enemy's 27th Division that is marching towards Dalin, and because it is getting late, they can only defeat them now, but they have retreated and can no longer continue to attack Dalin." "Report, scouts report that the Japanese army has transferred another division from Liaoyuan to launch an attack on Dalin, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow morning." "Hmph, the little devil is in a hurry, and more than 30,000 people have been dispatched to fight my airborne regiment." After hearing the news, Wang Yizhe was not in a hurry, and after turning around in place, he ordered the staff officers beside him: "Order, the newly established Air Fifth Division will all take turns to support Chang Jingwu tomorrow, so that they can get air support at all times." Didn't Su Haicheng always shout that there was no fight? I'll let them get enough tomorrow. ”

"Yes!" The staff officer saluted solemnly and turned to leave. After giving the order, Wang Yizhe suddenly heard a rumbling sound in his stomach, and realized that he hadn't eaten anything today, and was about to ask the orderly to bring a meal, but he saw a slender figure walking in front of him, and the thick winter clothes couldn't hide her figure. This slender figure walked in front of Wang Yizhe and gently put a food box on the table next to him, staring at him like this, and seeing that our Wang Yizhe was a little embarrassed. took off his hat and touched his head, and said brightly: "Hao Min, why are you looking at me like this?" Is there something wrong? ”

Hao Min stared at her husband for a long time before she said softly, "You, you just don't know how to take care of yourself, and you haven't eaten on time, you've lost a lot of weight." You haven't been home for a week, Wang Guangrong and Wang Haiyan are very worried about you, can you go back tonight? Wang Yizhe was already the father of two children at this time, and his wife was Hao Ming's sister.

Wang Yizhe said: "It's really not good. Wang Yizhe looked apologetically at his wife, who was always such a gentle and virtuous wife, she would never lose her temper with herself, and every time she returned home, she always had a delicious meal waiting for her. And whenever she has any troubles to tell her, she always acts as the best listener and lets her troubles be swept away. Alas, I don't know how many good things I have done in my previous life to marry such a daughter-in-law!

"When this battle is over, I will definitely accompany you to relax, okay?" Holding his wife's tender white hand, Wang Yizhe said apologetically. Hao Min's originally distressed expression suddenly unfolded, and she burst out laughing, "Is it just me?" "Uh, no, it's the three of you, and no, it's the three of you. I promise! Wang Yizhe's suddenly naïve expression amused Hao Min, "Okay, I know you're doing big things, and I won't stop you, then I'll go back first, you eat first, you can't care about your body no matter how busy you are." ”

Hao Min came and went quickly, looking at his daughter-in-law's distant figure, Wang Yizhe opened the lunch box and ate it in a big gulp, the delicious meal made him full of pride, buddy, this daughter-in-law is out of the hall and into the kitchen, and it is difficult to find it with a lantern in the later life! If I can take it back to my hometown and show my mother, I wonder how happy her old man is......

As soon as the sky was bright, the 66th Division of the Japanese Army, which had just arrived, and the 78th Independent Mixed Brigade that had arrived in advance had surrounded Dalin, and this time they also brought a field artillery wing and constantly tilted their shells on the position of the airborne regiment.

In the temporary headquarters, looking at the Japanese troops who were constantly advancing with the shells, Chang Jingwu was not moved, but calmly commanded the troops to respond calmly, and responded to the Japanese attack with a dense rain of bullets.

Chang Jingwu looked at the Remington watch in his hand for senior officers, and the hands were slowly pointing in the direction of the nine-o'clock midpoint, "Well, it's time for our air support to come!" "Very punctually, a roar began to be heard in the sky, and those who are already familiar with this kind of aircraft know that the chubby F47 fleet has arrived.

Seeing the arrival of the aircraft group, Chang Jingwu ordered the communication soldiers around him, "Notify the aircraft group in the sky, immediately come to a dive sweep bombing, beat the devil's arrogance, and then knock out the devil's artillery, Lao Tzu will bully and bully these little devils today!" ”
