"Bagaya Road, why are all the Zhongxia planes flying over Fukuoka?"

Fukuoka, Lieutenant General Masazumi Inada, commander of the Sixteenth Front Army, frowned and said.

Zhongxia's fighter plane passed over the city of Fukuoka. The fighter plane seemed to have dropped its bombs and could only conduct dive and strafing operations.

Major General Matsumoto, Chief of Staff of the Sixteenth Front Army, looked constipated. He shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty Lieutenant General, after the 72nd, 73rd and 77th Divisions gave up on counter-landing, the Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki areas have become large-scale landing sites for the Central and Xia navy and army!"

"Zhongxia's personnel and equipment are continuously arriving on the land of the Empire of Japan. We have already lost the first stage of this battle, completely!"

Inada Masazumi could not accept such a result, and his teeth clenched.

The Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki areas both belonged to the 16th Front Army's defense areas. None of these two areas were defended, and the Zhongxia people successfully set foot on imperial soil.

With such a result, the Second General Army Headquarters will not be satisfied, the base camp will not be satisfied, and His Majesty the Emperor will not be satisfied.

Inada Masazumi felt a chill in his abdomen.

"The 72nd Division reported that their retreat was blocked by Zhongxia's airborne troops and requested support."

Chief of Staff Major General Matsumoto looked at Inada Masazumi.

Masazumi Inada clenched his fists and said:

"Save, we must save them!"

“Hiyi!!!”

The Japanese regular troops and civilian volunteer troops who were blocked had morale problems.

The civilian volunteers on the home front did not see the shocking scene that happened on the beach before, because they were so thoroughly brainwashed that they did not know the cruelty of war.

After receiving the order, multiple civilian volunteer teams began to attack the airborne troops from the side and rear.

Their weapons and equipment are inferior, and they most commonly use suicide attacks.

On October 1st, the soldiers of the airborne troops did not dare to let any Japanese approach them.

No matter how innocent and flawless they look, how pitiful, weak and helpless they are.

At 12 noon, the fighting near the landing site basically ended.

All nine divisions of marines landed on the Japanese mainland, and one corps of the 26th Army came ashore.

The first stage of the beach landing ended successfully. Thanks to the powerful sea, land and air fire support, the casualties of the landing troops were controlled within 8,000.

At noon, the East China Sea Fleet and a corps of the 26th Army successfully landed in Kagoshima, Japan.

There are three landing sites selected by the Dangko Operations Headquarters, namely Shimonoseki, Kitakyushu and the southernmost Kagoshima.

The landing operation was clean and tidy, without any sloppiness, fully demonstrating the superiority of firepower.

The airborne troops, marines, and infantry cooperated skillfully!

When the news spread, the first people who were shocked and lost their composure were the people of the Republic.

It all seemed like a dream. When I woke up, the hero's army had already reached the little devil's hometown.

Burning the flames of war to the enemy's lair, he took the first step to pay for his blood debt.

State media began to selectively report on fighting taking place across the ocean.

At this stage, only a general report is needed: the Republic's troops have successfully landed.

It is enough to ignite national sentiment and make all people proud!

The vast land of the Republic was filled with cheerful marches, and countless people excitedly took to the streets to celebrate with strangers.

But there were also many people who laughed and cried and kept mumbling.

This was the most influential event after the founding of the Republic.

Also shocked were the Allied sea, land and air officers and soldiers at the base of Operation Downfall, the island of Okinawa.

In just one morning, many Allied officers and soldiers were probably still in a daze, and the Zhongxia landing battle was already over.

Are Japanese monkeys so weak?

It shouldn’t be, the Battle of Okinawa was obviously extremely difficult.

When MacArthur and Ninitz found out more details about the landing, they said directly:

Can't learn, can't learn.

4,000 warships, 5,000 aircraft, special forces, and armed helicopters.

The number of troops invested is huge, and the weapons and equipment are even more dazzling.

A lot of this equipment was ahead of its time.

This is terrible!

Fascist forces or allied generals in other areas also stayed up all night. Through their respective information channels, they learned of the successful landing at the first time.

The expression may be shocked, solemn, or gasping for air.

…………

Hiroshima, Japanese 2nd General Army Headquarters.

Itagaki Seishiro's performance was a bit demented. He stood alone in front of a huge combat map and did not make any movements for half an hour.

Lieutenant General Okazaki Seisaburo, Chief of Staff, was busy collecting intelligence from various sources.

Although the importance of anti-landing warfare was not emphasized in the decisive battle, the base camp paid more attention to the decisive battle after the enemy landed on the mainland.

But the enemy's landing is a landmark event after all, and it is impossible not to resist.

Itagaki Seishiro previously estimated that the Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki areas could last at least 6 hours.

Because in addition to the 50,000 regular troops in the two places, there are also more than 100,000 civilian volunteers who have been influenced by militaristic ideas.

But the final result was beyond his expectation.

"It seems that Zhongxia's military strength has expanded again, far beyond what the imperial soldiers could imagine!"

Itagaki Seishiro said to himself in his heart:

"We must remind the base camp that the previous estimate of the enemy's strength was wrong, and we need to double that estimate!"

Seishiro Itagaki also knew that starting from October 1st, to be precise, the Central Xia army landed in Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki.

The Empire of Japan has entered a countdown!

As a representative of the die-hards, Itagaki Seishiro was well aware of the gap between the two countries.

Such a gap cannot be bridged by the 100 million jade plan.

Although he knew the final result, he still had to resist to the end, which was related to the honor of the military and the honor of the country and the nation.

Chief of Staff Okazaki Seisaburo eventually came to Itagaki Seishiro and said:

"We have completely lost the Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki areas, and the enemy has also landed from Kagoshima. The intention is obvious:"

"Annihilate the Empire's Sixteenth Front!"

Itagaki Seishiro nodded silently.

Okazaki Seisaburo continued:

"Should we transfer the Fifteenth Front Army in the Osaka and Kyoto areas to the Western Front? After all, we are currently seriously short of troops."

It can be clearly seen from the map that after occupying the Northern Kyushu and Shimonoseki areas, the Central Xia army will either advance southward and first annihilate the imperial army on Kyushu Island;

Either advance southward and eastward at the same time, sweep Kyushu Island and attack the west of Honshu Island at the same time.

But this does not mean that the Zhongxia people will definitely not land from the Wakasa Bay area.

After landing in Wakafjord, you can go straight to Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, which is much faster than heading west from the Shimonoseki area.

Should the Fifteenth Front be transferred to the Western Front?

Itagaki Seishiro hesitated.

"What did Lieutenant General Inada and Major General Matsumoto say?"

Okazaki Seisaburo glanced at the location of Fukuoka on the map and said:

"Lieutenant General Inada hopes to receive reinforcements. The Sixteenth Front Army can currently only defend the Kyushu Island area and cannot defend Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi and Hiroshima."

"That is to say, if the Central Xia army attacks Honshu Island, we can only increase the 15th Front Army."

Itagaki Seishiro was one head and two big, and he didn't expect that the home defense would enter a difficult stage from the beginning.

He told himself over and over again in his heart, don't be anxious, just hold on.

In the past, the people of Zhongxia were able to withstand the heroic Imperial Japanese Army. Now that the roles have been reversed, the Empire must do better.

Obviously he did not fully understand the theory of protracted war.
