Chapter 1513 New Death Plan
The combined fleet entered the harbor at night.
This was to prevent others from seeing the miserable condition of the battleship.
In order to prevent the leakage of information, the port area was even completely sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or exit at will.
News was published in the newspaper: "The combined fleet completes its tactical objectives and advances victoriously."
There isn't even a picture.
Of course, this was all done to fool the civilians, and the base camp still received the real situation.
The fleet loss report was sent to Zhang Tuohai.
Zhang Tuohai took a look and found that fully one-third of the main ships such as aircraft carriers and battleships were completely sunk, and the remaining half were seriously damaged and would require several months of overhaul before they could be re-launched.
Only one-third can still maintain combat effectiveness after simple repairs.
As for the ordinary auxiliary ships, they suffered heavy losses. Fully half of the ships were sunk, most of the remaining ones were seriously injured, and only a small part survived.
"It's only three million, which is a bit small. We need to work harder."
Even if there are American troops on the opposite side, it is still better than suffering on the ship.
Seeing this battle report, Zhang Tuohai tried hard to control himself and stopped himself from making any noise.
Zhang Tuohai drew circles on the map and rambled nonsense.
"Each person can only carry a week's worth of rations."
"I know that the U.S. beachhead defenses are very strong, but are you all blind? You will only land from the U.S. mainland coastline? Can't you change the direction?"
In the night, one battleship after another set sail again. The decks of the battleships were crowded with Japanese soldiers wearing khaki cloth. Everyone was carrying a rifle, 120 rounds of ammunition, two grenades, and a bag of rice balls. In addition,
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
Under Zhang Tuohai's order, two-fifths of the men were pulled onto the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, the Americans are very difficult to deal with. I'm afraid we need to reconsider how to end this." Minister of War Tojo hesitated and said.
"By the way, let women fill the vacant positions. Now it's time for them to contribute to the empire."
"Change the direction?" Everyone looked confused.
Zhang Tuohai was thinking about how to kill more Japanese.
"However, the navy cannot guarantee supplies for so many soldiers."
"You won't separate?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
Seeing Tojo's appearance, the other people immediately lowered their heads like ostriches.
Everyone has only one wish, and that is to get off the ship as soon as possible.
Zhang Tuohai almost drank all the blood. If all these people died on the battlefield, the country would also face the risk of destruction.
This was a disastrous defeat for the Combined Fleet.
However, it was so crowded that I couldn't move at all.
"Now that you have been dismissed, go dig sand on Iwo Jima."
These people no longer exist on the military roster.
"Are you pig-minded? More than three million people insist on leaving together?"
"How many troops are available in the empire now?"
Zhang Tuohai said calmly.
Following his order, two guards came in and dragged Army Minister Tojo out.
Zhang Tuohai raised his eyebrows.
This is still a relatively good treatment, I heard that the treatment is not good, even only a bayonet.
Everyone was packed on the deck like sardines, like cans.
"Recruit another ten million troops. Five million of them will be sent to Australia, which must be cleaned up. The other five million will be sent to Southeast Asia, and then three million elites from Southeast Asia will be drawn back and sent to the United States."
A large number of people were recruited, and experienced veterans were sent to the American battlefields. After a little training, new recruits were sent to the jungles of Southeast Asia or the deserts of Australia.
"However, a large army of more than three million people will inevitably be hit by a swarm of American aircraft..." The Minister of the Navy was still hesitant.
"The U.S. mainland is heavily defended. You can land from Canada in the north or Mexico in the south. After landing, you can cross the border and enter the U.S. mainland."
Minister Tibet asked.
The Lord Admiralty said hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, two million have been withdrawn from the direction of India. Originally there was one million on the southeastern peninsula, 500,000 on Luzon Island, and 200,000 on the Korean Peninsula. The Australian mainland is progressing more smoothly, but its area is relatively large.
There are three million."
But compared to the three million East March Corps that were abandoned on the mainland, their fate was pretty good.
"Your Majesty, the American defenses are very strong and we may not be able to get in. Moreover, the navy's transport capacity is limited."
"Your Majesty, where should we recruit these ten million soldiers?"
Zhang Tuohai glanced at the Minister of the Navy: "The United States is rich in supplies. Do imperial soldiers need to carry supplies when entering the country? Just grab whatever is lacking. That place needs guns, food, food, money, and beauties.
What else do they need to bring?”
"I understand." The Admiralty Minister did not dare to say more.
The Lord Admiralty hesitated and said.
Zhang Tuohai said coldly.
Everyone knew the risks involved, but no one dared to disobey Zhang Tuohai's orders and could only obey them honestly.
"All students who are outstanding will be selected as officers, workers, farmers, and monks, and they will all be included in the conscription. The age for conscription is relaxed to 14 to 65 years old. As long as they can carry a gun, they will all come to fight for me."
Some people who were seasick even vomited directly.
Zhang Tuohai patted the table.
"Baga!" Zhang Tuohai slammed the table, pointed at Tojo's nose and cursed, "You just suffered a setback and you actually backed down. Are you still worthy of being a Japanese samurai?"
Even the carrier-based aircraft pilots suffered heavy losses and needed a lot of replacements.
Because of the shallow draft and weak hull of the small submarine, the entire army was wiped out, and no one survived.
Having seen the dense bomber formations of the US Army and the combined fleet being like this, one can imagine the consequences for those infantry.
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Tell the people who landed that they should go their own way as a team and not gather together as a last resort. If necessary, they can work as a team and act alone."
Zhang Tuohai ordered loudly.
"Who wants your supplies?"
He was afraid that if he spoke again, he would be sent to Iwo Jima like the Secretary of War.
Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, this is almost all the young and strong people in the country.
"They can do anything in the United States, including tearing up trains, bombing railways, robbing banks, burning factories, whatever they want. The main thing is to cause chaos in the United States, so that they cannot safely produce weapons to deal with us and buy time for the large forces to counterattack.
."
"There are actually so many more."
After more than a day of turbulence, the ship docked at an uninhabited desert beach during the night.
Everyone climbed off the boat along the rope ladder and waded onto the land.
"Remember, you are currently in Mexico. You only need to go north or northeast to enter the United States."
"Don't go northwest, you will encounter the main American army there."
Chapter completed!
