Chapter 598
Io Mizukawa's confession is undoubtedly a humiliating book to the Emperor of Japan and all fanatical war elements!
The rapid fermentation of international public opinion has once again hit the bottom of the image of the Japanese government and military, and the condemnation of people from all over the world is ringing in the ears of the Japanese Emperor like a death knell.
Due to the news blockade, ordinary people know very little about what is happening in the outside world. They are still indulged in the joy of the Japanese army's consecutive battles and victories, and dream of one day being able to escape from the poverty and backwardness of the Japanese country, sow more fertile land, and see a broader world.
of heaven and earth.
In order to counter the overwhelming negative public opinion, the war madmen in the Japanese army base camp actually organized the common people to hold a Victory Day parade in Tokyo on December 13.
On this day three years ago, the heroic imperial army captured the enemy's capital.
Led by fanatics, the Tokyo Parade was huge and soon spread from Tokyo to other major industrial cities.
The entire Japanese country was filled with an illusory self-confidence.
There is no need for forced recruitment or propaganda, and young people join the army one after another.
With the Emperor as the leader, and under the leadership of crazy war elements in the base camp, Japan expanded its armaments and formed new divisions.
When various news from the island country reached Jiangdong's ears, he shook his head and muttered something that no one could understand:
“There are no innocent souls under the atomic bomb!”
…
December 15, Datong, Japanese North China Front Army Provisional Headquarters.
Io Mizukawa's confession brought shame to the emperor and the whole of Japan. As the supreme commander of the North China Front, Shun Tada was reprimanded many times by the base camp.
If there was no suitable candidate at the moment, Shun Tada would probably be the commander of the North China Front with the shortest tenure.
The most important thing for Japanese soldiers and samurai is honor. Now Tada Shun and the entire army's faces were pressed to the ground by Jiang Dong and rubbed, and the angry dirty blood in the old devil's body was constantly surging.
When he first arrived in college, he could still occasionally think of Sugiyama Gen's words, with a cautious heart.
The confession was circulated internationally, and the condemnation and accusations were overwhelming. Tada Shun's heart could no longer calm down.
"Gentlemen, His Majesty the Emperor and the Yamato nation have been disgraced because of our failure. As a soldier and a samurai, at this moment, besides revenge, I don't know what else we can do!"
The 27th Division, the 57th Division, and senior officers formerly stationed in the Mongolian Army gathered at the headquarters. All of them looked constipated, clenched their back molars, and had bulging eyes.
"Until Jiangdong is eliminated, the North China Front army will never raise its head!" Tada Shun punched the table hard, and the water glass jumped wildly.
"Hiyi!"
A group of senior officers bowed at the same time, like puppets.
Tada Shun took a few deep breaths to let his heartbeat slowly slow down. He pointed at the huge combat map and said:
"Now that all the major participating troops have arrived at their scheduled positions, it is time for Jiangdong to feel the wrath of the imperial army.
The open terrain of the Tumochuan Plain is conducive to the deployment of our mechanized troops! Jiangdong's intention is obvious, which is to fight us decisively in this area.
In this case, we will not back down and will fight to determine the outcome!"
"Your Excellency Commander!"
Lieutenant General Harada Kumakichi, commander of the 27th Division, was the first to speak,
"Intelligence shows that the railway from Guisui to Baotou has been cleared by Chinese guerrillas. We can no longer rely on railways to transport troops and supplies. The Tumochuan Plain stretches as far as the eye can see, and the degree of mechanization of the imperial army is relatively low.
I heard that the mechanization level of the Jiangdong troops is higher than ours, and they will not be able to fight the Imperial Army in a decisive battle on such terrain!"
Unexpectedly, Harada Kumakichi's words were not impassioned words, but poured cold water on the battle. Tada Shun's face suddenly turned cold.
What he is saying now has been said by Kasahara Yukio's staff office before and has been analyzed in detail.
After "repeated weighing", Tada Shun still decided to take Koto's move.
"Harada-kun, the information held by the headquarters is more detailed than what you have heard. Yes, the 39th Army's mechanization level is indeed higher than that of the Imperial Army. Jiangdong's military vehicles in Suiyuan can deliver two divisions at once, not only
In this way, Jiangdong is also equipped with two regiments of large-caliber howitzers, which is much more than ours."
Tada Jun said these words with a contemptuous smile on his face,
"But there is one thing that Jiangdong will never be able to compare with us!"
All the officers turned their gazes over. Jun Tada pointed to the top of his head and said word by word:
"The imperial army has absolute air supremacy!"
Everyone showed a look of sudden realization and kept nodding.
"The main forces of the border troops and the Kwantung Army were restrained by the Soviets and could not easily go south to join the war.
In order to increase the victory rate of the North China Front, to avenge shame, and to save face for His Majesty the Emperor, the Kwantung Army Headquarters has promised that they will send one-third of their fighter planes south to help us win this battle!"
Shun Tada waved his fist,
"Gentlemen, 200 fighter planes will arrive on the battlefield in the next few days. There is not even a single fighter plane in Jiangdong. It is impossible to threaten the imperial army's air supremacy with just anti-aircraft machine guns and few anti-aircraft guns."
"Yoshi! Yoshi!"
The officers rubbed their hands involuntarily, and the last trace of worry in their hearts was dispelled.
Morale is available, Tada Shun strikes while the iron is hot and gives the following order:
"The 27th Division will march westward along the Pingsui Railway from tomorrow and launch a tentative attack on the Chinese troops stationed on the railway line!
The independent mixed second brigade goes north to Wuchuan to lure the Ma Jiajun to attack. Choose the right place to severely damage or annihilate them!
The 52nd Infantry Regiment and the 57th Engineer Regiment of the 57th Division went south along the highway and stationed in Hekou, Tuoketuo and other places to expel the Red Party guerrillas and find a road from the south of the Yellow River to Baotou, Hetao and other places.
!
The rest of the troops are temporarily stationed in Guisui, waiting for the next order!"
“Hiyi!!!”
…
…
Jincheng.
Engineering construction teams led by the Rockefeller family have arrived in southeastern Shanxi in batches. The Railway Preparatory Committee under the Administrative Office has been meeting with American infrastructure experts all day long in an effort to break ground as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Americans during this period have not developed the good habit of waffling for two or three years before doing something. After receiving sufficient material support, their work efficiency is still very fast.
When Jiangdong goes to Suiyuan, there will soon be a war in Shanxi.
People in various systems are involuntarily busy. Military factories, industrial departments, and chambers of commerce are all working hard, doing their best to do the work at hand, and supporting the frontline war as much as possible.
Southeast Shanxi sometimes has heavy snowfall and extremely cold weather in December. Although the weather is cold, people's hearts are warm. The entire area is shrouded in a busy atmosphere, and bustling work scenes can be seen everywhere.
After using the remaining heat of Ifo Mizukawa's confession, Su Qing arranged the work of the newspaper office and prepared to go to Suiyuan to report on the battlefield, and also met Jiangdong by the way.
"Sister Su, why don't you let me go with you? I am also a reporter, this is my job!"
Jillian was already very familiar with Su Qing, and she complained dissatisfiedly while the latter was packing his luggage.
"Your brother will arrive in Jincheng the day after tomorrow. Why are you going to Suiyuan?"
"It is precisely because he is coming that I want to go to Suiyuan with you. I really don't want to see Thomas. His thoughts and actions make me feel sick, even though he is my biological brother!"
Su Qing stopped packing her luggage, took Jillian's hand and said:
"Didn't you always talk about the commander of the army, hoping that he would always win the battle? Let me tell you, the construction of the rear is the guarantee of victory on the front. Whether you like it or not, whether you want it or not, Thomas is your brother.
Let the American machines start running as soon as possible, this is the task assigned to you by Brother Dong!"
Jillian sat up straight and asked suspiciously:
"He really said that?"
Su Qing blinked.
The expression on Jillian's face changed again and again. Su Qing curled her lips and continued to pack her luggage.
After a long time, she said quietly:
Chapter completed!
